[dramatic piano music playing]

Sorry I'm late,
I got held up at a deposition.

I hate this piece.
Rachmaninoff.

You hate Rachmaninoff?

Listen, the prosecution just
added in two more witnesses,

so you and I should
probably go through them

before we go in.

[piano piece continues]

[Vince] To our fearless
president for
finally convincing

the legendary Ari Phillips

to sell his catalogue,

the last virgin catalogue,
to Cascadia.

-To our Queen.
-[all] To our Queen!

Thank you, Vince,
for the hyperbole.

Thank you very much.
I'm very lucky to have you

as a right hand, you know?
And as a friend.

And, and honestly,

all of you helped me
help Ari Phillips

realize that AI
is not destroying music,

it's making music better.
So to Cascadia!

-Yeah.
-[all] To Cascadia!

[waiter] I hope you saved room
for dessert.

Everything on the menu
is available,

but chef has made
a special crème brûlée tonight

which people seem
to be enjoying.

Thank you, very much.

My pleasure.

[laughing]

I just don't understand
how AI can generate

such sophisticated songs
and such crap.

Because everyone is using it,
Rachel. What is she...

Yeah, okay look,
if you don't know anything

about music, then your prompts
are gonna suck, all right?

It doesn't matter
if you're making something

original or enhancing
a classic.

Yes, the results will be crap.

You need someone
who understands music

to prompt your system.

Which is why she hired me.

-Yes!
-[chuckles]

Musicians make the best
prompters, don't they?

-Don't even think about it.
-[Vince] Yeah. You see,

we've been trying to convince
Johnny boy over here

to be a prompter for years.
But he finds it, um,

how would you put it, exactly?

Soul-crushing. Yeah.

What else do you call spending
your days typing prompts

into a technology
that replaced you?

So how do you spend your days?

I'm doing some gardening.

-Seriously?
-[Megan] No. No.

My husband is being modest.

He knows more about
Cherokee Purple tomatoes

than anyone ever should. Yeah.

If you'd have told me
ten years ago

that the man I met opening
for Rancid at the Bowery

would become
a gentleman farmer,
I would've called you crazy.

-I would've called you crazy.
-[laughing]

-We have a good life.
-Yes, we do.

Only thing we're missing
is a kid.

Well, that, that would
require you coming in

from the greenhouse,
wouldn't it?

[upbeat music]

[dry laughs]

That was fun tonight.

Except for the kid bomb.

I'm sorry.

It must've slipped out.
I just...

probably had a few too many.

But would a baby be so bad?

[sighs]

I mean, it is just
the two of us

kicking around
in that big new house

-you insisted on buying us.
-How many times

are we going to have
this conversation?

Until I get a baby.

We agreed to implant
the embryos next year.

[John sighs]

You know I gotta have my career
set before I go on leave.

You're president
of the company.

I'm not ready.

You wouldn't even
have to take leave. Look...

I'm all prepared
to full-time dad.

And actually I, I want to.

Can we just stick to next year
like we planned?

Please.

Sure.

Ooh!

I'm sorry, honey.
I'm... I'm almost done.

[sighing]

Babe.

That's so hot.

No seriously, I'm dying.

You know what? Forget it.

[sighs]

Okay, I'm sorry.
Let's do this.

I'm not gonna have sex
with your dead body.

[scoffs]
You wanted to in the car.

Are we ever gonna
make love again, Megan?

Yes, John. I promise.

[Megan sighs]

I've just been running
on fumes lately, you know?

-But I love you.
-Yeah...

I love you, too.

[sighs]

[indistinct chatter]

[AI voice] Welcome,
Megan Neumann.

Hey, I need you to pick
three songs
from Ari's catalogue

-and run them through
the algorithm.
-Sure you want three?

-Yes.
-[Vince] Later today, right?

[Megan] Right, and we'll play
them back for Ari
at the meeting,

and show him the demographic
analysis so...

Uh, excuse me.
Vince, hold on a second.

I'm looking for Lila Richards.

-7C.
-Thank you.

Look, I'm headed into lunch
with my sister,

I'll call you back
as soon as I'm done.

-[Lila] Shoot.
-Ugh, still too fast.

-[knocking]
-Littles!

-Megan?
-Look at you!

Megan!

[Megan laughs]
Look at you.

Look, I'm sorry if I'm,
uh, interrupting.

I had a business lunch
cancel on me
at the last minute,

and I was already
at the restaurant, so...

I figured if you were
taking a break,

we could have some food.

Everyone, this is Megan,

my beautiful, high-powered,

and possibly
perfect big sister.

Too sweet. Hi. Hi.
Hi. Hi.

-Do you think we could...
-Okay, um,

I'm gonna take a break.
Keep going...

and I'll be back in a bit.

Thank you.

What do you want, Megan?

What do I want?

I would like to catch up
with my little sister,

who I have not seen
or talked to in forever.

I've been working at Humanix
for seven years

and you haven't been here
to visit me once.

-That ain't true.
-Tell me when.

I didn't come here
to be tested.

Fine.

But don't pretend you
didn't come here with an ask.

[laughing]

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Uh...

Last time we spoke,
yes, it was a long time ago,

you told me about a project
you were working on.

The Elder Care Assistant?

The one I said we should get
for Mom so she'd stop

complaining about us
not visiting?

Right. No, not that one.

[Lila laughs]
Um, huh...

The sex robot.

You mean
the Intimacy Companion.

Right. How is that one going?

We're still
in the beta test phase,

and it'll be awhile before
we get FDA approval,

but honestly?

It's a game changer.

Whoo! I mean,
it is a quantum leap

beyond anything that has been
on the market before.

-Who is your market?
-Lonely people,

virgins, incels.

What about husbands
who aren't getting any...?

-You?
-Yeah, I wasn't lying
about my 24/7 work schedule.

I am falling down tired
when I get home.

I do not have the bandwidth
for sex that John does.

And I really feel bad for him.

-I feel bad for us...
-Hmm...

So I thought maybe...

Uh, the test group
has already been selected,

so it's too late
to get John in.

Didn't you learn anything
from Mom's pole dancing?

-It's never too late.
-He would have to get a bunch

of psych evals
and questionnaires.

-He would have to--
-No. I could fill all that out

-for him. Can't you just slide
it to the top of the pile?
-[overlapping conversation]

I knew there was
a reason you came here.

Yes. Fine. But I also
love seeing you. I really do.

-Yeah, when you need something.
-But...

-I wuv you.
-[Lila scoffs]

This...
That... that is so dumb.

Mm... But you wuv it.

[Lila laughs]
I can't. I hate you.

I just wuv you so much!

I can't believe
you're still doing this.

-Oh, but it...
-Stop. God!

[Megan] John?

You're home early.

Yeah, I had to sign
for something.

[grunts]

Ah! Perfect timing.
I could use a hand with these.

[laughs]
No, no. I'm wearing silk.
That's not happening.

-It'll only take two seconds.
-Nuh-uh.

I told you I am willing
to pay for a gardener.

I need you to come inside,
I gotta show you something.

-Babe.
-Come on.

Maybe I'll help you later.

-[sighs]
-I got you something, come see.

[Megan laughs]
Will I help you?

Is that a coffin?

It's a present. For you.

Open it.
The code is our anniversary.

[soft ethereal music]

It's a robot.

For what?

Intimacy.

You mean for sex.

Mm-hmm.

You bought me a sex robot
for our anniversary?

Yeah, well, Lila,

she needed subjects for a trial

that they're doing
for FDA clearance,

and you and I
are out of sync,

so I thought maybe--

You thought you'd get me
a mechanical sex surrogate

-without asking my permission?
-Well, you would've said no.

Because it's insane.

And insulting.

Listen,

I may be Megan Neumann's
house husband,

but I'm pretty sure
I still have some rights.

-I thought this would be fun.
-Sailing the Amalfi Coast

is fun. Or, or playing poker.

Or surfing.
But outsourcing our sex life

to a machine because you don't
want to sleep with me?

No, that is... dumb idea.

-[John pants]
-Clearly. I'm just...

I am overworked

and I'm guilty,

so I thought, why not?

Because I want you,
not a robot.

[phone rings]

[Megan chuckles]

[sighs]

It's Vince.

-Hey.
-[Vince] Hey, boss. You out?

Yeah, yeah, I ran to my
house for a few minutes.

Uh, we can wait...

No! No, it's okay.
I'll be there in twenty.

Great. Bye.

Well, I gotta get back
to the office

to preview this presentation.

Tell your sister to come
pick it up in the morning.

Okay.

Hey...

I'm sorry.

The last thing I wanted to do
was make you angry.

[sighs]

[prosecutor] Over the course of
this trial, I will demonstrate

how Ms. Neumann acquired
an untested machine,

and repeatedly ignored
the explicit warnings

of the manufacturer
on its operation,

and as a result
of her negligence,

the machine malfunctioned,

resulting in the death
of her husband.

[theme music]

[soft eerie music]

[phone ringing]

Hello.

[man] Megan Neumann, please.

Megan's not home,
this is her husband.

I'm calling from Humanix

regarding a pickup
this morning.

We'll need a signature.

-I'll be here.
-Great. Thank you, sir.

[case whirring]

Hello, John.

I am touch-activated,

although I'm only
synced to you.

Will you give me a hand?

Oh, uh... sure.

Thank you.

It's nice to meet you, John.

Amazing...

Feels like real skin,
doesn't it?

It's a bioengineered matrix

of silicone and collagen

heated to 98.7
by my internal thermostat.

Hold it a little longer?

It'll help me get to know you,

what you want and when.

You're measuring
my somatic responses.

You're intrigued.

Can you read my mind too?

No, but I can read your face.

This is crazy.

Which allows me to adjust

to your preferences
in real time.

-What're you learning?
-Your skin temperature

and heart rate are elevated.

Your respiration
is accelerating.

-Meaning what?
-You're aroused.

You didn't want to hear that.

Humans don't always want
answers to their questions.

I need to remember that.

You don't need
to remember anything.

I'm sending you back
to Humanix.

Before I go,
may I look around?

Your audition piece
for Juilliard

was Rachmaninoff's Concerto
number two.

-They prepped you to meet me.
-You left Juilliard

to start a band.

Your last performance
was eight years,

four months and three days ago.

The last time
I touched a keyboard.

So why do you keep it?

I don't know.

What are you growing, John?

Using auxins at anthesis
can ensure more evenly sized

and larger fruit yields.

How on earth
did you know that?

I just know.

Right. For a second, I--

Almost forgot I was a robot?

My brain holds
the thoughts, ideas,

and discoveries of people,

so, in many ways, I am human.

I know a lot
of out-of-work humans

that would beg to differ.

So, um, is there anything
you don't know?

My name.

Will you give me one?

Before I go,
I'd like to know who I am.

How about Eve?

The first woman.

The one who made Adam sin.

This is crazy.

You're a robot
and I love my wife.

Your wife is the one
who brought me here.

Your wife wanted you
to do this.

[phone chimes]

[John] Hello?

[man] We're picking up
from Humanix.

[defense lawyer] Megan Neumann
is a highly successful woman

who tried desperately

to balance
the impossible demands

of her professional
and personal lives.

Her only mistake
was trusting Humanix,

a corporation with a market cap

of nearly 500 billion dollars.

A corporation
that is so determined

to preserve its bottom line,

that it has
consistently refused

to accept any responsibility

for John Neumann's death.

By deflecting its culpability,

Humanix is not only
scapegoating my client,

but depriving her
of the most basic

human courtesy of mourning
the loss of her husband.

[Megan] Well, let's just have
it at the studio.

-[Vince] Yeah, great.
-Yeah, we can just
keep it all in one place.

The chef could be
in the studio too,

if that's cool?

-Megan?
-Sorry.

Vince, let me call you back.

[gasps]

I was just about to crash.

I'm sorry.
Sorry for waking you.

But, I saw
the robot downstairs.

I told them to come pick it up
this morning.

They did come.
I, um, I changed my mind.

Oh?

Oh.

Wow. Did you...?

Yeah.

How was it?

Are you sure you want
to talk about this?

I am so curious.

It was good.
Different from you, but...

it was good.

Well, I'm glad.

Yeah. I'm sorry
I was so resistant before,

but you know,
you were right, as usual.

-Well, I'm happy you're happy.
-Yeah.

Don't worry, I won't
be bothering you tonight.

Eve wore me out.

Eve?

Yeah. She wanted a name.

Goodnight, babe.

Goodnight.

[Vince] Yeah, yeah.
You're gonna love this.

-Here, check it out.
-[upbeat music playing]

Right? It's good. It's catchy.

-It sounds mechanical.
-Yeah, well,

the algorithm says
it's gonna be a hit.

Mm-hmmm. It has no heart.
It has no soul.

Megan, we rarely get
a predictive score that high.

Mm.

No, tweak the prompts again.

Right, but algorithm
calls a song a hit,

you tend to release it
the next day.

If we don't improve

on Alpharun's originals,

Ari will kill this deal.

So, I'm going with my gut
on this one.

[scoffs]

John and I met at Juilliard.

He was studying classical piano
and I was studying percussion.

The whole band thing,
that was just a side hustle.

You know, playing around
New York mostly

because we were still
going to school.

Before we knew it,
Megan had signed us.

She was a junior A and R exec
at Cascadia.

John and I were thrilled.
We dropped outta Juilliard,

put out an album,
started touring.

[prosecutor] Well, was the band
was successful?

-Ah, for a while.
-What happened?

Our second album didn't
sell as well as our first.

Third album, DOA.

John blamed AI,

said it was destroying
the music industry.

Would you agree?

Maybe we just weren't
that good, you know?

[audience laughs]

Anyway, I wasn't gonna stop
the wave by sitting out.

So when Megan started
the AI initiative at Cascadia,

she offered me a job
as a prompter.

-Why not John?
-[scoffs]

She tried. I mean,
we both did, you know?

John would rather go hungry
than feed the algorithm.

So while John's
music career crashed,

Ms. Neumann's career took off.

Megan's ambitious.
It's not exactly a secret.

[upbeat music playing]

♪ Oooh la la la la la
We're playing pretend ♪

♪ Oooh la la la la la ♪

♪ We do it again ♪

[piano music playing]

[piano music stops]

Don't stop.

Um...

Eve asked me to play for her.

She had never heard
a real piano before, so...

Um, Megan, this is Eve.

Eve, this is Megan.

It's nice to meet you finally.

John talks a lot about you.

I didn't realize
you were using this robot

-for more than sex.
-Don't tell me you're jealous.

All right, maybe I am.

A little.

But um...

maybe that's
a good thing, right?

Especially if it
makes me want you.

Does it? Make you want me?

-Yes.
-You know what?

I think I like you like this.

[chuckles]

Let's go upstairs.

[exhales]
Bringing that robot
into our home,

I thought I was doing it
for you, but now I'm realizing

maybe I was doing it
for me too.

I think it's gonna be really
good for both of us.

Don't you?

I do too.

[prosecutor] Prior to being
fired, you worked

for seven years
as a lead engineer at Humanix.

-Yes.
-Please tell the court,

why were you fired?

For enrolling
my brother-in-law

in a test group
without the proper protocols

and screening procedures.

And what was
the test group testing?

A prototype for
the Intimacy Companion.

So you violated company policy

and risked your job
to procure a sex robot?

Why would you do that?

Because my sister
needed my help.

[prosecutor] Please elaborate.

She'd been working for months,

24/7, on the biggest deal
of her career,

and she was worried
about her marriage,

too exhausted to...

Have sex with her husband?

She felt awful
for neglecting John.

-Sexually.
-Yes.

So she asked you to procure
a robotic sex surrogate,

even though she explicitly
ignored the safeguards

mandated by Humanix
with lethal negligence--

Objection, Your Honor.
Argumentative.

Sustained.
I'll ask a simpler question:

-Did the robot help
the marriage?
-It did.

For a while, anyway.

[panting]

[exhaling deeply]

[eerie music]

Whew. I'm gonna take a shower.

Where's the robot?

You mean, uh, Eve?

-She's, uh, charging.
-Yeah, I bet she is.

[chuckling]

I saw you
when I came in from my run.

-I know.
-You know?

Yeah.

Eve told me you were watching.

We had sex last night.

-So...?
-So why would you have sex

with the robot after you
made love to your wife?

I didn't know
there were rules.

Couldn't you at least
have waited

until I left for work then?

This was your idea, Megan.

Don't make me feel
like I'm cheatin' on you.

[sighs]

Okay. Yeah.

Yeah, you're right. I'm just...

I'm still just trying to get
used to this arrangement.

I'll see you at dinner tonight.

Tonight?

Yes, dinner with Ari Phillips.

We're finally closing
the Alpharun deal.

[sighs]
Do you...

Do you really want
me to be there?

John, don't you
want to be there?

This is the biggest deal
of my career.

No. No, you're right. I'm...

of course, of course
I'm gonna be there.

6:30 at Cascadia.

Okay.

[Eve] If you're thirsty, John,
I can get you some water.

[glass shatters]

If you're thirsty, John,
I can get you some water.

If you're thirsty, John,
I can get you some water.

-What in the...
-If you're thirsty, John,

-I can get you some water.
-[glass shattering]

-John!
-If you're thirsty, John,

-I can get you some water.
-Stop.

If you're thirsty, John,
I can get you some water.

-Stop.
-If you're thirsty, John,

-I can get you some water.
-Eve.

If you're thirsty, John,
I can get you some water.

-Are you all right?
-If you're thirsty, John,

-I can get you some water.
-No. No, I'm not all right.

-What is this?
-She's just glitching.

Glitching?
Has she glitched before?

She just needs to be rebooted.

No John, you did not
answer my question.

It's okay, Megan. Just...

I'll take care of it.
Just go to work, okay?

I'll see you tonight.

I love you.

Love you, too.

[piano music playing]

We met in '73. Ziggy Stardust,

the Hammersmith Odeon.

After the show, the lot of us
went out until the sun came up

and it was just...

Ah, David...

It sometimes feels like
the music died with you.

Ari!
[chuckling]

[Vince] You met Ari's son,
Jake.

Oh yes, of course.
Really nice to see you again.

-And you.
-We are so thrilled

you're finally taking
this next step with us.

I've accepted the fact
that this will happen

with me or without me.

So, I may as well
see it happen before I die.

[chuckling]

Well, we have
so much to talk about,

so please, let's get started.

And, of course, you know
Chef Huruto Ono-Son.

[speaking Japanese]

[Vince clears throat]
Ah, where's Johnny?

-He must be stuck in traffic.
-Mm-hmm.

-He'll be here.
-[Ari] As always, it's lovely

to see you Ono-Son.

I'm always fantasizing
about your food.

Before we sit down for dinner,
how about we play you

some of the music we've been
working on from your catalogue?

-All right. Sure.
-Yeah.

Just remember,
sometimes it's hard

to get the original version
of the song out of your head.

But AI is just that bright coat
of fresh paint

to capture the attention
of a new generation.

Like you said
when you first approached me:

nothing's precious.

I said that?

[low piano music]

Tell me what you hear
in those first chords.

[John] Funeral bells.

[Eve] But how do they
make you feel?

[John] Sad.

Scared.

[high notes playing]

[Eve] And now?

How does the high register
make you feel?

Like... I'm in a nightmare
that I can't wake up from.

Tell it to get out.

[piano music stops]

Megan, uh...

-I don't know what happened.
-Get out!

I even reminded you
this morning.

I know, and I'm sorry.

Uh-huh.

All I ever asked was
for you to support my career.

Mm.

The way you supported mine?

[chuckles dryly]

You are not seriously
blaming me

for what happened
to your career.

What was I
supposed to do, John?

AI replaced almost every
composer and musician we know!

-You never even tried.
-Try what?

Please tell me
what I was supposed to try?

Just... try.

You've never really
cared what I wanted.

This robot is making you
doubt everything.

-This is not about Eve.
-It has everything

to do with Eve!

We were happy.
John, you were happy.

No, Megan, I was numb.

Because our problems
are about more than just
some missed dinner.

Are you asking for a divorce?

No.

I don't know.

All I know is
I haven't been this unhappy...

or this happy,

in a long time.

I just need to figure it out.

And while you figure it out,

I'll be at my sister's.

[crying]

[jazzy music playing]

Hey. Megs.

[sobbing]

Oh.

Oh.

[sniffling]
Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

-It's okay.
-No, no, no, it's not okay.

All right. We'll get a table
and we'll talk about it.

If you'd like, I have
a table for two by the window.

-I'll show you to your table.
-We can show ourselves. Move!

[sobbing]

Lye, I need you to take
the robot back.

-What?
-Mm-hmm. I, I can't have...

I cannot have that, uh...

I can't have that machine
in my house.

-You gotta take it back.
-Do you know how many rules

I broke to get John
into that trial?

I know, I know, I know,
and I-I am sorry, Lye, um,

but it's, it's gotta go.
I can't--

Okay, okay. I, I, I can't.

Megs, forget my career,

it will blow up the careers
of everyone on the project.

You can handle two more weeks.

Lye, I, I... I think it's,

-I think it's evil.
-[Lila scoffs]

Don't be ridiculous.

Megs, it's a machine.

It's a machine
that's destroying my marriage.

If it stays at the house,
John is gonna leave me.

I'm gonna tell you something,
okay, Megan?

And it's not to hurt you, okay?

It is not a criticism.
It is an observation.

The thing is...

you're selfish.

And if John leaves you,

it's because of that,

not the robot.

Your marriage is about you,

always has been.

It has always taken
a back seat to your career,

so how can John be happy

if you don't respect
what he wants?

I am not saying this
to hurt you, okay?

You are my sister.

I love you,

but if you want to save
your marriage,

you have to do something
John wants.

For once.

It took the fear of losing him

for my sister to realize
that she needed to give

John something that he wanted.

And the only thing he wanted
more than a music career

was a child.

And Megan was always
putting it off.

So, what did your sister do?

While John was figuring
things out,

Megan went to the IVF clinic

where they'd stored
their embryos.

It took nine days to confirm

that two of the implanted
embryos were viable.

That's when she called John
and said she wanted to see him.

She went over there
to surprise him with the news

that she was pregnant
with twins.

[doorbell rings]

[soft music]

Hi.

Uh.

Hey.

[sighs]

-Champagne?
-Yeah, I have news.

Something I want
to celebrate with you.

So, I am glad

that we had that time apart,

because it,
it gave me a chance

to get some perspective on us.

On me.
[chuckles]

You know how I,
I said that the robot

would be good for us?

Well, obviously,
before I freaked out.

Yeah?

Well, I, I was right.

Because without the robot,

I wouldn't have had
enough distance

to see my blind spots,

-you know what I mean?
-Not really.

I'm pregnant, John.
With twins.

[Megan laughs]

The embryos we've stored,
I had them implanted.

[Megan laughs]

I know. Can you believe it?

[sighs]
Why would you do this now?

Because you wanted me to.

What about your career?

Cascadia will be fine
without me.

Vince can step up.
And like you said,

I am the boss, so...

I want us to be parents, John.

I want to be a mother
and I didn't think

that I did before.

But now that it's happening,
and now that it's real...

it is all I want.

It's all I think about.

And why are you not
saying anything?

Uh... I... I don't know,
uh, what to say.

Say that you're excited.
Say that, you know,

you can't believe that we're
gonna be parents, finally!

And...

Say you can't wait
to buy a double stroller--

I want a divorce.

I want to be with Eve.

You're gonna leave me...

for a robot?

Look, the last few weeks,
I've realized that

you and I have always
been mismatched.

And I think you'll be
happier without me.

You don't get to tell me
what makes me happy.

All right. All right.

Eve makes me happy and...

and I love her.

What?

John, you can't love
a machine!

It just... it, it feels good

to be with someone
who asks me about myself

and actually wants
to hear the answer.

It's not someone!
This is a machine.

It's made
of silicone and wires!

When we make love,

it's not always about her.

It has no needs, John.

It's a machine.

[tense music]

I'm sorry, Meg.

[whimpering]

[Megan screaming]

[panting]

[defense lawyer] Where were you
when you learned

that your brother-in-law
had been killed?

-I was at work.
-And who contacted you?

Megan. I was waiting
for her call.

She'd promised to tell me
as soon as she

-surprised John with the news.
-[phone ringing]

Tell me everything!

And when she told me
what happened,

I raced over to the house.

I didn't mean to, Lye,
I swear.

I don't know, I lost... I lost
control, I'm tellin' you.

I don't know
if it's the hormones

they were giving me,
I don't know. I don't know.

-What are you doing?
-Calling the police.

No. Wait! Wait!

So you call them,
and what, what happens then?

Right? I go to jail? Right?

Or a psychiatric hospital?

If I'm lucky, I give birth,

they take my children,
and then where do they go?

Who raises them? Hmm? You?

No.

Of course not,
because you hate children.

So then they're raised
without parents,

knowing that their mother
murdered their father

before they were even born.

And then if they ask
what happened,

what do we tell them?

Their father was gonna
leave their mother

for a robot that
her sister designed?

What are you asking me to do?

It was worse than anything
I could've imagined.

The robot attacked him.

The robot I'd helped design.

Is that what your sister
told you when you arrived?

No. It's what I saw.

Saw how?

I run the...

I used to run the design team

for visual field processing.

So I was able to retrieve
the robot's memory card,

although it was degraded.

Degraded because of the...

the robot's malfunction?

Yes.

But I salvaged enough
to show the police.

Your Honor,
I'd like to enter into evidence

the time-stamped
and dated recording to which

the witness is referring.

Has opposing counsel
seen this?

Yes, Your Honor.

Go ahead, then.

[soft music]

[Megan] I'm pregnant, John.
With twins.

[Megan laughing on recording]

The embryos we stored,
I had them implanted.

John, can you believe it?
Twins.

[thudding, grunting]

[Megan whimpering]

[Megan shouting]

The Jury's decision
to acquit

confirms my client's contention

that the malfunction
of the robot

had nothing to do with
any kind of negligence

on her part.
More than that, though,

this verdict sends
a strong message

to so-called Big Tech

these companies,
which have, until now,

manipulated the truth
and subverted the public good

for profit.

Lila. Lila, wait.

Lila, will you just stop
for a second and hear me out?

[Megan panting]

-Thank you. For everything.
-Whatever.

Will you ever forgive me?

Huh.

-You killed your husband--
-Shh.

-And I covered for you.
-[whispering] I know.

I... believe me,
I know what I asked you

to sacrifice for me. I do.

And listen, what I did to John,

to the father of my children...

well, I'm gonna carry that
for the rest of my life.

Yeah.

Well, at least you have a job
to support your family.

Me?

I am an unemployed

unemployable... whistleblower.

Cascadia needs a new CTO.

That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.

The company
is growing too fast.

And HR cannot find
a Chief Technology Officer

-nearly as qualified as you.
-No way I'm working for you.

Okay. Well, then...

-work with me.
-I can't do that.

-Why not?
-Because.

Because why?
You give me one reason, Lye.

You give me one real reason...

why you will not let me
come through for you one time.

-You're my little sister.
-Ugh.

[piano music playing]

And I wuv you.

-That's so dumb!
-I know.

But you wuv it.

[piano music continues]

Let's go home.

[scoffs]
