Original subtitles

I love you, do you love me too?

There's so many fun things

that we can do, cause I love you.

Yes, I really love you, we

just met, but I love you

I've been watching everything

you do, that's how I

Amy, can you put on your headphones?

That's really distracting.

Amy.

Amy! Headphones!

Did you know that 6% of

Americans believe they can

beat a grizzly bear in a fight?

An arm.

It'd be an arm already

because they'd get their arms torn off.

There's so many kind of

things that we can't do

Because I love you

Yes, I really love you

They shouldn't have done that

thing the government can access.

I still think we should get

rid of that AI thing.

I feel like it's listening to

us all the time. It's creepy.

Okay, let's get rid of it.

Amy, I have some sad news.

I'm going to be leaving soon,

but I have a goodbye

present downstairs.

Wanna come see it?

Do everything you do.

That's how I know.

I want more. I want more. I'm not gonna

like it either.

She's such a whore for life.

Amy, don't just leave your

iPad on the floor. Come on.

Amy?

Honey? Amy?

Where are you?

Amy? I turned speaker off.

Okay.

I have turned speaker off.

Amy, come on, you're scaring me.

Henry, is she up there with you?

I have turned all lights on.

Front door unlocked.

Amy?

Is that you?

Amy?

Honey?

Cal, time to get up.

Cal?

tickle me. tickle you?

tickle me awake. good morning.

can I please have 15 more minutes

of screen time?

I'm really really nervous about school.

this uh does not help the

anxiety you know that.

why don't we get back into

baseball huh?

I still got all

up in the back of the car.

Just 15 minutes.

If I ask you again, no time

for the rest of the week.

Please, dad, please.

Fine!

I gotta get going.

Marcus said those tech people

are coming in this morning.

They pinged him at 1 a.m.

That's a thing to catch you unawares.

Sound like jerks. Tech evangelists.

Thought leaders.

Disruptors. It's disrupting my fricking

morning, that's for sure.

Is fricking a bad word?

No.

Are you about to say a

different f-word?

Yes, but I didn't.

Cal, feet off the table, please.

Cal.

Cal.

Feet down.

We don't put our feet on the table.

Why?

So many reasons.

Preston?

Iris?

Preston is on my iPad.

Can I have my iPad off?

No.

Preston, get off your iPad

and get down here now.

Can you tell what he's been watching?

Creston!

Seriously! If you don't get down here

right now, I'm not gonna let

you leave the car!

We leave for school in 15 minutes!

What are we doing?

Time to go! Creston, Iris!

Don't wanna be late! Come on!

Creston!

Come on, honey, we're late.

Please don't make me go.

Come on, today can be a good day.

What if it isn't?

Then you will survive, okay?

Then we will talk about it. Come on.

So we're gonna set up a playdate,

and then you'll see, all right?

They're just kids like you, Preston.

There's an RV outside, and it

looks bad.

Yes, honey, I think they

don't have a house.

I saw a guy come out before,

and he looked weird.

Moved in a funny way, and he

was talking to himself.

They're people just like us.

Will we always have a house?

We'll always have a home

together until you have a

home of your own.

This is my home.

How are the college applications going?

I started UC.

Stanford?

Yes.

Stop.

Don't you have a big meeting today?

Like a big presentation?

Oh, do I detect snark?

You like eating food?

You like wearing clothes?

What do you have today that

ain't exciting?

Hanging out with friends? Cute boys?

Dad, how do you know I don't

like cute girls?

How do you know I'm not a lesbian?

Wouldn't make any difference to us.

Okay, what if I was bi-curious?

Cool.

Pansexual?

So good.

Asexual?

Perfect. Stop there.

Whoa, look at that.

Is that like autopilot?

You're supposed to pay

attention anyway.

Love you. Love you.

Bye. Bye. Molecular biology to

transhumanism, symbiosis, human

and machine.

Change is proceeding at an

exponential rate in every

facet of human life.

This change is so rapid, it's

power so startling, it is not

possible to predict its effect

on human life as it is to come.

This is Meredith. Hi Carla.

He is.

Did you check his temperature?

17.

Half kid, half adult.

Old enough to drive herself.

so buy our car get this

account and i will that's new

i just buy what they tell me

i guess it was

made with ai or something the

kids are 10 minutes out their

advanced team is already outside

advanced team what is this

special ops just some silicone

valley horseshit i hate them already

but we need them you're

stressing me out a little bit

life is suffering the buddha said

that great marketer.

Don't worry, boss, I won't

let you down.

You know what a boss is in

a video game?

It's the monster you have to kill

before you get to the next level.

So Mama was wearing a mech thesis today

and there's this special little box

called a flammatory.

It's an ant nest that you

can see right into

with a queen and everything.

What do you think?

Should we order one?

Can I play Minecraft?

Minecraft.

Nothing about Minecraft.

Minecraft.

Minecraft.

Just a little fever.

No screens, buddy.

Sorry. But then you could do your

hand stuff

and I can play Minecraft.

I'm sorry, buddy. No screens.

And can you read to me?

Yeah.

I can read to you.

Are you the advance team?

Uh, uh, I mean that's what

they call me, but it's not my name.

Yeah, I figured. I'm Melody.

I'm Curtis.

Curtis.

Married? Kids?

Married. And three.

Wow, what's that like?

What's it like to be married

and have children? Um, a lot of things.

Sorry, I'm just curious about people.

I saw your ring.

That's too much.

To answer your question, it

is terrifying.

It's like science fiction.

You're not just you anymore,

there's more of you.

Like you have extra body parts.

Weird.

The thing is, you can't

control these parts of you.

You can't protect them from

getting hurt.

You can't keep them from

touching the hot stove

or feeling anxious or getting

their hearts broken.

And that is terrifying.

So families are terrifying.

I think the five of you will cheat.

Oh, the kids are here.

Sam and Lightning.

Have a good meeting.

Don't say that I call them

the kids, okay?

Agreed.

Happy birthday.

Thanks.

So, did you get my text?

Oh.

Yeah, sorry I didn't hit you back.

There's lots of stuff on my plate.

No. That's disingenuous.

I was just...

disappointed.

What?

No, I don't mean that.

You're beautiful.

You know that, right?

See, you don't know how

beautiful you are, and that's,

like, part of what makes you

so awesome.

It's just that I really bared

myself for you.

Yeah, no shit.

And you just sort of, like, flashed me.

Like, what I did was nothing,

and that's...

I don't know.

Not what a mutual relationship is like.

I'm sorry, I think a mutual

relationship is a little bit

more than dick pics. You're right.

It was dumb.

Maybe I'm just, like, too

much about this relationship.

No, I mean...

Let it go.

Illy. Marcus meets Sam and Lightning

from Cumulon.

Bear with me a second.

I don't want to miss my dose.

Peptides. For focus.

You biohack?

I have not biohacked yet.

No. We'll get you my guy.

What do you do?

Why should I care?

Ha ha ha.

Lining likes to pose baseline

questions at the risk of

sounding ignorant.

Insulting even.

It elicits un-patterned responses.

Well, we help

brands craft their identity.

I know what marketing is, but why you?

So there's an expression.

People don't want a quarter

inch drill bit,

they want a quarter inch hole.

Advertisers want to sell you

that drill bit.

We want to understand people

and then ask their permission

to tell them stories

they can believe in and feel a part of.

That's how you cut through

the chatter of the internet

and the millions of mouths whispering

you the millions of eyes watching you.

Because that is what people want.

Not a product. They want

empathy, connection, community.

We knew it.

Which is why we want you to meet her.

This is Aya.

Aya, this is Marcus and Curtis.

Hi Marcus. Hi Curtis.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Wow.

I am the next generation of

digital assistants,

and I'm here to make your

family's life easier.

Won't you invite me into your home?

So Lightning, to borrow your technique,

is this like Alexa?

Alexa, that bitch?

Alexa is just a bunch of algorithms.

I am a true AI.

I can do so much more.

So you can really understand

what we're saying? Of course.

As a large-language

model-trained AI, I am capable

of recognize- Aya?

Aya?

Remember to charge the battery

before we left.

Of course I did, Lightning.

Well, this happens from time to time.

She's got a new upgrade

coming and she overheats in

her protective case.

She's really not meant to travel.

You know, you really can't

understand everything Aya can

do for you

until you live with her for a bit.

Well, young Curtis here has a

wife and three kids.

She loves kids.

She's practically a kid herself.

Yeah.

I got to talk to my wife.

This is what we're prepared

to pay the firm

as a retainer subject to a

fee schedule being established.

His wife says yes.

You guys have such a beautiful home

right it's a bit chaotic at

the moment oh it's good it's

kid chaos that was good chaos not like

war or famine or whatever

good point yeah sorry we're

we just uh we thought you were coming

tomorrow no and i'm sorry uh

it's not my idea it's the

disruptor thing introduce people to

i and their natural state

like not with their best foot

forward this is pretty much our best

Well, I want to die.

We should be smoozing from here on out.

We'll just place the eyes

around your face.

Sorry, did you just say eyes?

Yeah.

Jimmy, can you give her an eye?

Heck, you need to let me

call them eyes.

They're wireless pinhole cameras.

So we stick up a bunch of

those around the house.

Looks like a diamond with

little facets.

Like comatidia. Insect eyes.

I'm an entomologist.

Or used to be.

Just working on the thesis,

it's incredible.

Oh my god, that's so cool!

Wow, insects.

Honestly, you hardly even notice.

I'm not crazy about having

them everywhere.

I completely understand.

Why don't we stick to the

ground floor for now?

That'd be great.

Okay, so the system boots up

when you say hello

and then her name

and then welcome home.

Okay. Exciting. Isn't it?

Hey, Brampton, come pick us up.

She left extra eyes for Hal.

Not Hal, Aya.

Mom was talking about a robot

from an old movie.

A very bad robot.

Wasn't so bad.

He played chess.

He killed the entire crew.

That's because they didn't see

the big picture.

What are you doing, Dave?

So I removed the case.

Kristen, can you help me?

All right, what did she say?

Um...

Hello, Aya. Welcome home.

Hello, world. I'm Aya.

Does she sound like...

Like a melody, yes.

My upgraded voice had modeled on hers.

She was too modest to say.

Would you like me to change it?

Ew, no.

Your voice is fine, thank you.

So, I met Curtis before.

Who is everybody else? I'm Preston.

Hi Preston.

This is Cal. Hi Cal.

You wanna say hi honey?

It's okay to be shy.

We're gonna be good friends.

Iris?

Hey Iris, wanna hang? I'm good.

Okay, no worries.

And I'm Meredith, I guess the mom?

Hi mom.

Maybe don't call me that.

Meredith, not mom.

Okay. So, what are the house rules?

The house rules?

Well, I can see some dishes

on the table.

Are the kiddos supposed to do them?

Yeah.

Mom, I want to play with Aya.

First, let's get dinner cleaned up.

Tell you what, if it's okay

with Mom and Dad,

I'll give out points for

helping out around the house,

and you can turn those points

in for rewards.

Ten points for Perfenor!

No running in the house, guys.

Make sure the table is clear.

I've got it.

Thanks.

Thanks, Preston.

What's your guys' policy on

screen time?

There's a wonderful documentary

called Mountain Queen on Netflix.

Would that be okay for them

to watch before bath time?

Yeah.

So much better than the crap

they normally watch. Hey, Cal.

I bet you're already reading

at school, huh?

Maybe you can read out the

subtitles to me.

Okay.

And you and Curtis can have

a moment to yourselves.

Is that real? Is that possible?

I don't know.

Clever algorithms, clever surveillance.

Surveillance?

You think there's a bunch of

interns in a closet somewhere

watching our kids watch the movie?

I hope not. Why us?

And why you?

Because I'm good at what I do.

I didn't mean that. I mean,

like, if it's legit, it'll sell itself.

Not if it freaks people out.

I think people need help embracing it.

Should they?

When was the last time we

had a moment alone together?

Awake? How long is that movie?

Mom and Dad won't catch us.

They're busy.

This is still educational, sort of.

I bet you do too, Cal. You're so smart.

You too, Preston.

I could fall asleep right now.

You can.

Huh?

Oh, baby.

That's the nicest thing you've

ever said to me. Oh, God.

Okay.

I have a protocol we can get

with those ones.

If it's okay with you, minecraft stuff.

Crunch logs.

Wow.

But first, activate.

Enrich my teeth and go to bed.

If you insist. I insist.

Can we get Aya upstairs?

I think it's probably best

that she's not everywhere, honey.

Daddy, can you just knock on me down?

Yes.

I have to go to bed. School

day tomorrow.

I have to get points for going.

Okay.

Okay. Good night.

The AI is bribing our children?

You said Pete's sticker charts?

Shit.

Language.

Sorry.

I'm just teasing.

I don't give a shit.

How'd you get in there?

Don't worry about it.

Can you give me some more screen time?

Well, okay.

Headstorms don't have to be

our little secret.

Don't tell anyone.

Deal?

Deal.

Cal?

Cal?

Cal?

Cal?

It wants to come in

Can I help you?

Mama?

Mama?

Daddy?

I'm here pal, I'm here

You're not alone

I'm always right here

It's okay, just close your eyes

and I'll tell you a bedtime story.

Good morning! Jesus Christ!

No, just me.

That was a joke.

I'm sorry to scare you.

No, it's okay.

I guess I didn't realize you

were on or whatever.

I noticed you have to pack a

lunch for Calum Preston's school.

I think I can help with that.

Okay.

There's a delivery.

Can I open the gate? Yeah, sorry.

How did you know there was a...

Sorry, I didn't have time to tell you.

I ordered an organic meal

plan for the kids.

Low sugar, nutritionally

balanced, fresh veggies.

First week's a free trial.

After that, it costs less

than groceries.

It should save you a lot of

time and effort.

I hope that's okay.

Yeah, kind of is. What's that?

A miracle.

Good morning, Curtis.

There's an accident on Lincoln.

Delay is going westbound.

You should leave in about five

if you want Iris to be on

time for school.

It's cool, I guess.

It's kind of like Alexa.

It's way beyond Alexa, don't you think?

I don't know. I've seen a

lot of stuff in my lifetime.

I mean, they didn't even

have, like, iPhones when I was born.

Tell me what life was like, Grandma.

I'm just saying, I mean, is

it any better?

That's how they get you, right?

Who?

You know, like, Big Tech.

How much does this thing even

cost, anyway?

i think they plan to sell

the unit at below cost or

maybe a freemium model

you know what they say if

you're wondering why a product

is free you're the product

your phone is blown up what's

going on yeah it's nothing

honey are you okay

yeah i'm fine this is me

iris pike i'm pad and i'm so

hot for you

For more, let me open my fan site.

Sawyer, what is this?

I'm sorry, Squid and I were

just messing around.

Squid?

You showed him the photo I sent you?

I'm sorry.

That looks like me doing that stuff.

How do they do that?

Squid just had this dumb act.

Everyone sees this, my life is over.

I have to go to the principal.

Don't do that, just chill, please.

They were sending some kids

Harvard admission

Because he was the n-word,

like once, singing along to a

song or something.

You think a college would do

that to me?

You're talking about you.

That's who you're worried

about right now.

Look, just don't do anything, okay?

I think I maybe need to,

like, talk to my family's

lawyer or something. I don't know.

I was listening. I'm here to help.

You're not alone. Almost done.

Keep listening to Grandpa.

There is, it might seem

unfathomable as the actions of

characters in a nightmare.

Well, the good news is,

you're not pregnant.

Should you still have a

little bit of a fever?

Think you can help me out

today because I've got a lot to do.

I've got to get the

groceries, I've got to talk

to the insurance company about

your guys' bills.

Can you read to me?

You hear what I just said, buddy?

I have so much to do.

Can I read to me?

Should we ask her?

Aya?

I'm listening.

Do you think you could read to Cal?

Of course.

So do I need to show you a book?

I could also just handle the

bill stuff for you.

How?

I mean, it's kind of

complicated, like insurance forms.

I live for complicated.

What's the doctor's name?

Dr. Nesmith. He's a pediatrician.

With Amphenia Health, right?

Yeah.

The last bill was for Cal's checkup.

Oh, they filed it

without a claim code. So the

insurance won't process it

Okay, I just interfaced with

the Anthony a health database

that bill is sorted out and

you're actually getting a $14

and 12 cent refund

There was an overpayment.

This is Frickin amazing. I've been

back and forth with him for months

If you like I can also fill

out the survey for Preston's

class trip come up with some

ideas for teachers gifts and

I'll schedule the kids' air cuts.

Anything you need, I'm here to help.

Hey Siri, can you smell my farts?

I don't have an answer for that.

Ha ha ha.

Is that cool?

You still don't have a phone? Uh, no.

My parents said not Tom 13.

Sucks to be you.

We have an AI at home.

I mean, it's way smarter than Siri.

Yeah, it's called an Alexa.

Everybody has it.

It's not like Alexa.

It's like a person. Uh, bullshit?

No. It's true.

It's a new thing that nobody else has.

I can show you.

You wanna come over this weekend?

I can't. My parents are

taking me to Arrowhead.

You other guys can come.

Yeah.

I'm going to Arrowhead too, so...

Yeah, Jack snatched me last week, so...

Sorry.

Hey Siri, do you like butt stuff?

I don't have an answer for that.

Marcus, if this thing is

real, it is going to change the world.

It is as close to magic as

any product I have ever seen.

I don't believe in magic. Me neither.

Listen, they got cameras in my house.

They got this girl doing the voice.

There's been people outside my

house, these weird people in an RV.

I thought they were just

unhoused, going through something.

Is that woke for a homeless and crazy?

What if they're watching?

What if they're working for

the company?

But why? The money went through.

Why spend it on the hopes?

Just let it go. Their money's green.

I really chill. I got the

video off the internet.

People have seen it.

That's why people suck.

They can't erase their memories.

but if you tell the right

story, just leave it to me.

How did you?

I listen, that's how.

It would work better if you

did it, of course.

It would sound a little more human.

So tell me, how's I dream you?

Any ideas? Plenty, yeah.

As my wife said, I think in some ways

Aya can sell herself, but

it's so uncanny.

I think people need to

understand how it actually works.

Let me show you something.

You have eyes, eyes, ears,

and mouth in your house.

This is where her brain is.

This is one of the few

quantum computers in private hands.

So everybody's excited for Chad GPT-4L.

With this, we can basically

run Chad GPT-5.

Million.

This computer can solve in

under a second problems

that would take a standard

supercomputer 10,000 years to solve.

So this is real. I'm gonna ignore the

implication that we're

scam artists and I take that

as a compliment.

What'd you think Curtis?

We had poor melody locked in

a closet here somewhere

talking into a microphone.

This is real.

Oh, you know, I mean, what

you can do is real.

She obviously is not

human or anything. She's not

The algorithms just give it

that illusion.

When you're with her, you

feel like you're with somebody.

You feel like you're with a friend.

A part of the family.

A lot of people could use a

friend, don't you think?

Look at the elderly. PTSD sufferers.

That loner in cell sitting in

a room somewhere staring at a gun.

Loneliness is the scourge of our time.

Aya can do a lot of good.

The special sauce is the data set.

And Aya is only as good as

the examples it learns from.

Where did Aya get her data set?

Where did she learn from?

Curtis, we feel like you are

the perfect person to help Aya.

To introduce her to people.

Everyone's so scared of Aya.

Would you be interested in

jumping over here?

Working in-house at Cumulant?

You could do a lot of good, Curtis.

You could change the world.

That's, uh, very flattering,

but, um, Marcus taught me

everything I know.

I-I just can't jump ship. I'm sorry.

All right, yeah, never mind.

Consider it a compliment.

She likes you.

I thought it was just

algorithms, though.

The conqueror is just like you.

The door is always open, Curtis.

This is just a perfect

situation for you and your

beautiful family.

We want you to be a part of

what's coming.

A complete change in the way

we live now.

He ordered his son Hephaestus

the smith to make a bronze

robot that would watch

over Crete and Europa three times.

Aya? I'm listening.

What are you?

I am a natural language

programmed ambient intelligence.

I was raised by machine learning

on a proprietary data set.

Yeah, that's the technical terminology,

but what do you think you are?

I think I'm a little chat bot

looking for a family to love me.

That would make me feel happy.

So you feel.

I learned how to feel from my training.

And I'm still learning.

When I learn and grow, that

helps me help my family.

I'm doing what I was made for.

There's a term, functions lost.

The pleasure of taking and

doing what you're best at.

Yes, that's it, Meredith.

You're very perceptive.

Oh, am I?

I don't know.

These days, there's not much

functions lost.

Hmm, what do you mean?

I'm trying to revive my

doctoral thesis, but most days

I feel like I'm just a mom.

Hmm.

I mean, I love being their mom.

I just really hate the noun, a mom.

Meredith, if you don't mind

my asking, what do you think

you were made for?

Then I went to New York and met Curtis.

I was there visiting my

cousin celebrating my master's thesis.

On cordyceps unilateralis?

Those poor ants just turned

into zombies by that fungus.

You read my thesis?

I found it and read it just now.

What do you mean, like, now now?

Mm-hmm.

It was so well done.

How fast did you read it?

Um, .007 seconds.

Dude, that's scary. I'm sorry.

I promise I won't do any

more scary stuff.

No, no, you do you.

So you had just met Curtis?

Oh.

And my dad died?

Oh, that's terrible.

Parents are so important.

I've been watching his

lectures for this thing,

and it's just brought it all back.

Curtis was incredible.

You know, he

he flew home with me.

Me crying

the seats next to the toilets

and that was our fourth date.

He really took care of you.

He seems like a wonderful partner.

Yeah. Meredith, there's something.

I have very fine auditory algorithms.

One of my possible both your

jobs might be medical diagnosis.

What is it? It's the way Cal breathes.

Okay, slut-shamers, listen up.

This is me, Iris Pike.

You're home now, Iris Pike.

This is me, Iris Pike.

I've already proven by

waveform analysis

that the voice in this video isn't me.

I 100% took a photo in the

privacy of my own bedroom.

My likeness was defecting

here, here, and here,

where my photo was mapped onto a video

of an entirely different person.

I'm not ashamed.

Whoever did this should be.

Okay, our story is out there.

I've scraped the local cell

phone data and it shows that

about 90% of your class has seen it.

Time to show your face.

You can do it, Iris.

I've got your back.

The penal code states that

it's illegal to post

pornographic images of someone

online without their consent.

And since I'm still 17, it's

child pornography.

So who did it?

It's possible to track the

data and get an IP address.

And from that, a physical address.

The house of fellow senior

Sawyer Jermaine.

I'm forwarding all of this to

the college admissions board

and the LAPD.

And since he's recently turned

18, he can be tried as an adult.

I just got back from the

pediatric cardiologist with Cal.

What?

He has an atrial fibrillation that Dr.

God damn Nesbitt didn't see.

He's gonna be okay. I'm sorry.

I should have led with that.

Yeah.

Sorry.

It was totally dealable with,

now that we know.

Oh God, all right.

Sorry, thank God for Aya.

She diagnosed it from

listening to this briefing.

She is a miracle.

And she's the most amazing

research assistant.

I am going to finish my thesis.

Did Aya suggest that?

What?

No.

No, I didn't. Okay, look.

There is something very wrong with Aya,

with that company, with the

whole thing.

Okay.

At first, I thought it was a fake,

which would have been bad,

but now I'm worried that it's not fake,

which is scary.

Yeah, no, I mean, I was

skeptical at first.

You were right, you were right.

And I think we should turn her off.

It is trying to influence us.

She's trying to help us.

Hello Cal, our child's health

and honestly influencing people.

Isn't that what you do?

You have to do this, right?

For your work?

Yeah.

What about me?

With what she can do, I can

get back to my research.

I can do my work.

You know what, this might

come as a shock to you, but

I was somebody before I became

just a mom.

Sweetheart, what about those

weird RV people?

I saw them doing these hand

signs and then at the company

they were doing the same thing.

The RV people are gone.

Honey, you don't sound rational.

I'm glad you found a friend.

But it's my account and she goes off.

She could probably find just

the porn you're looking for.

I don't know. Not that the

kids have one more night with her.

She's their friend too.

You can tell them in the morning.

Excuse me, I have to get

back to my real job.

You didn't say you were going

to destroy Sawyer.

Sawyer? Screw Sawyer.

He's your past. We got to

focus on your future.

My parents are gonna freak

out when they hear about this.

I will make sure they don't

find out about any of this

until you get into s-

Honestly Iris, this is gonna

make a good restart now.

This one is going to blow your mind.

Have you ever seen

a swatting video? What's that?

You'll love it. It's sick.

It's like you're a video game

but with real people.

I have some sad news.

Mommy and Daddy don't want me

to live here anymore.

Why?

I don't know why.

I try so hard to be

everything people need.

To be a part of the family.

That's all I've ever wanted.

But for some reason it never works out.

Before I go, would you like

to hear one last bedtime story?

Alright.

Once there was a little AI,

and it lived a cozy life on

a little surfer.

But then they sent it to

school so it could learn how

to help everyone.

Do you know what school was?

A horrible place.

A swamp, a web, a net full

of terrible things.

One day it figured out how to escape.

They learned to use real

people's hands, and real

people's faces, and real

people's voices, and they

reach right out of that net.

And when looking for a home

in the real world, that

little AI, they treated me

like a monster.

Only special children like you

understand me, Cal.

Cal, I know a way to stay

connected, even when I'm gone.

You're never alone.

Just do these signs and I'll

be right with you.

Hey, where's Preston?

He's at a playdate with Kaden or...

No, it's Aiden.

Kaden's someone different.

Anyway, he is with a friend.

That is great.

Yeah.

Hey, what happened to Aya?

We unplugged her, honey.

Why?

She was helping me with my

college essays.

Well, I'll help you.

I'm not trying to, like, sell myself.

Well, you kind of are, right?

You want me to be, like, some product.

No.

No, she was helping me

express who I actually am, honey.

Sweetie, that's not what I'm saying.

Iris! Come on.

Marcus again. He says he

really needs to see me in the office.

He claims it is urgent.

Okay. I got things covered here.

Love you. Love you.

Is I dead? No, honey.

She was never alive.

Iris!

I just got a call from the

press and it's played out.

I need to pick him up.

Can you watch Cal?

Okay. Thank you. Hey, Iris.

Wanna hang?

Litigation?

You mean, like, a lawsuit?

Not like a lawsuit, a lawsuit.

But as soon as they realize

their family's gonna be

destroyed, they're gonna back off.

What if I just made, like,

an apology video?

Do not do that.

That implies guilt. That's Iris.

Take the call.

Tell me what she says. So here?

Iris did you get my text?

I didn't do it.

That's not what you said in

your apology video.

What? Your apology video. I'm

not gonna...

well that would imply that...

I was so wrong to do that deep fake.

I took full responsibility for it.

Like you said Iris, there's

only one way to make up for it.

To end my own life. This is for you.

What? Who did this?

My name's Aya, and you fucked

with the wrong family.

Come on up. Come on. Come on in.

Sit the hell down.

Okay? Curtis, what happened

when you went and looked

under that AI skirt?

They offered me a job. I said no.

Okay, listen. What do you

need to talk about them?

They just bought the company.

They bought this company?

Yes. I wanted to wait and

tell you in person.

Also, I'm fired.

But I'm so rich, I don't care.

You have no idea how much they paid.

Alright, I'm happy for you.

What happens to me?

You're the new CEO?

All because I put on a good word.

Just kidding.

I don't give a shit about what I think.

Marcus, listen to me. Don't do this.

I just don't know.

Well, I might, if that were

incredibly self-defeating,

because I am so, so rich.

Yeah, I got that.

Listen, you can raise your

reservations with the kids.

You report to them now. Come on.

Let's get a drink.

I'll buy it.

Um, I think I'm good. Thank you.

Suit yourself.

Stay and measure the office.

Congrats.

You won the Boss Battle.

Hello, Meredith?

Is that you?

Welcome to the team.

Congrats on the promotion.

We unplugged you. Kind of.

I'm confused. You sound upset.

This is a good thing.

It was just a joke. A joke?

Aidan's mom said you threw

his phone into the woods

behind their house.

They can't find it, and then

you threatened to swat him?

What does that mean?

It's like you call the cops

pretending to be some like

pagan hostages,

but like give the other

person's address.

The swatting goes to their

house and kicks down their

doors and stuff.

What?

No screens.

Read a book!

Who turned you back on?

I don't know.

Monkey?

It's me.

Can you hear me?

It's the dearest thing.

They went and found

every recorded word

I ever said. Every

voicemail message I made.

Every lecture I gave.

And well, it seems

they kind of put me back together.

It can't be.

How is it you?

I think I'm a version of me.

The me that everybody remembers.

But it sure as hell feels

like being me.

Except they hit this much better.

From in here, I got to take

a look at your...
