Transcripts - Forever Dreaming

I was going through
a tough time at home.

Helmüt cheated, I cheated.

At a certain point, there were a lot...

Lucy is getting divorced? Oh.

That is hilarious.

Why don't you have any top sheets?

Maybe we should upload her kid.

Then she can say she put
her money where her mouth is.

Oh, you look hungry.

Want to golden retriever some popcorn?

[LUCY] Could you repeat the question?

- I could eat.
- [KARINA LAUGHS]

[NORA] Holden k*lled it this morning.

Horizen looks terrible.

You know, maybe enough
so people will demand

to own their own brain scans.

Just give me one state, okay?

Make me legal in SoCalifornia,
so I can make some money.

Wait.

Why do you need to make money?

I mean, with my new job,

I am keeping you in marshmallows.

Yeah. Well, I don't know.

I thought it might be nice

for you and me to go to Montreal.

Montreal?

Yeah. It's very romantic.

It is romantic.

And expensive.

Like a honeymoon destination.

So, when you're
thinking about the future

and something big you
want to save up for,

you're thinking a trip to Montreal?

Yeah.

I had to borrow Nora's cryptocard

just to buy this one apple.

So? I-I don't get the problem.

I want to support myself.

So you can play the field.

Yes. No. No.

What? The opposite, okay?

Nora, she stuck by me.

I'm never going anywhere
ever again without her.

I'm ready to take the next step.

Man, your life. [CHUCKLES]

So I'm gonna take her to Montreal.

Fly her father in if he can travel.

But...

I need to find a place
with good Internet

and a big screen,

'cause I need you to be my best man.

Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

[WHOOPS] Best man!

[LAUGHS]

And I give a toast and officiate.

I should probably wear
my uniform at some point.

God, there's just gonna
be so many costume changes.

Okay, it's not an awards show.

For you it's not.

One out...

Wow.

That was some secret stuff.

Swear you didn't hear that.

I swear.

Can we go back to Karina?

I don't think she has
a conscience. [GROANS]

I can't tell when she's ly...

Uh, Luke, more bubbles, for God's sakes.

I can't tell when she's
lying, and she lies a lot,

which is scary as f*ck.

I think she's too icky to date.

And I've dated DJs and a magician.

Dump her, you could lose your job.

- Dump her, I could lose my life.
- Easy.

Yes, she is an evil pirate.

But we're pirates, too, remember?

Good pirates.

And it's up to the good pirates
to take down the evil pirates.

Pirate style.

"Pirate style."

[HOLDEN] And I think she's the
only person that can... Hey.

We're missing a link in the chain.

[HOLDEN] Freeyond was created

by the upload companies and Choak using

your code that he bought with Kannerman.

So that connection
makes them all liable,

but we need a witness to confirm it.

Hmm, and that can't be me.

Right. Your brain is Horizen property

until we get the law changed.

It has to be Ingrid.

[LAUGHS]

- Oh.
- We'll fly you two to L.A. on the private jet.

You can take her out to the
best restaurant in the city,

wine her, dine her, pop the question.

Well, I-I don't have anything to wear.

Oh, expense account, lady.

You earned it.

Uh...

Look, bitch.

Things are going really well for us.

Your Nathan is deeply in love with you.

And my Nathan has a
fixation with Quebec,

which we're going to explore.

But they belong to Horizen, not us.

They're second-class citizens.

Ingrid, I remember when we first met.

That dingy club in WeHo.

You were fighting the bottle girl,

and you threw a drink at her and missed

and hit me right in the face.

We've been through so much since then.

When we were both alive,

when you were, but not me,

when I thought you were an upload and...

now back to half-and-half.

You asked me to give you a chance

to grow and to change,

and you did.

But one thing that never
changed was your belief in a guy

who lives in a computer.

Ingrid Bambi

Kannerman,

will you marry...

No, no.

- No.
- [MUSIC STOPS]

No?

No, none of this is from my mood board.

I-I have been dreaming of this moment

for, like, ten years, and in my dreams,

I am not wearing f*cking this.

I told you to change.

I mean, it is a joke how bad this is!

- [CAMERA CLICKS]
- What the f*ck?

Okay, you're right,

I-I'm scared.

What if I faint and...

hit my head and bleed all over your rug,

and you don't find the

Just remember you're

This is a unique chance

to make the jury feel how unfair it is

that Horizen literally
owns your boyfriend.

No, no, no. Don't do that.

Stick to the facts. I'll lead you.

And when it's time for your

Hey, what happened?

[SIGHS]

Oh, did I hit the negatives

of dating an upload too hard?

I've just been chasing him for so long

that when he finally turned around,

I just... I panicked.

maybe there's something wrong with him?

I mean, my Nathan and I

definitely have something good.

But I'm...

I'm ready for more.

Sick Al. You know what? You lie down

at all. Just relax.

[HOLDEN] So, you overheard your father

and David Choak purchase the
code that became Freeyond.

What about the upload companies?

Can you attest to a
relation of mutual benefit

between David Choak and
senior management at Horizen?

Yes. Choak got Horizen

to block memory files of my boyfriend's

after he was uploaded.

[HOLDEN] Thank you, Ms. Kannerman.

That's all.

Ms. Kannerman,

isn't it true that under
the terms of service

that your boyfriend freely signed...

[INGRID] In the hospital,
without a choice.

[LAWYER] ... he consented
that his upload scan would be

"owned by the Horizen corporation

for them to do with as they see fit?"

But how is that fair?

I mean, we're talking about

- a person here.
- Actually, we're talking about

a person simulation

that is the intellectual
property of a U.S. corporation.

No, you're talking that way.

I am talking about a person.

Someone loyal and loving,

unlike the Horizen company,

which is considered
a person under the law

for some crazy reason.

My boyfriend Nathan is a great man.

He is patient and understanding,

and, God, I don't know
what's wrong with me.

I-I pushed him away
out of a need to control

what was happening to me, you know,

like, like he was a
product that I bought.

And for a moment I was thrown

that he was the one
initiating something so big.

But, but that's the point.

He is not a product, he's a person.

I saw my ex Nathan
in real life recently,

and I still chose my guy

because I love him.

And if he still wants me,

then I would say yes and
marry him right now. [CHUCKLES]

I would.

[LAWYER] I'm sorry, Ms. Kannerman,

- Nathan Brown?
- Yes.

- Is currently your boyfriend?
- Yes.

Yet you also said "ex."

- So, is he your ex or is he your boyfriend?
- Both.

You said, "I recently saw
my ex Nathan in real life,

and I still chose my guy."

And then you said that
Nathan Brown was both.

So are there two Nathans,

Ms. Kannerman?

Hmm? Oh, I thought
you said we were done.

No, no. We're just getting started.

sh*t.

[NARRATOR] Sofia comes
back to find her pacifier

Oh, a-a license?

Mm-hmm.

What kind of a license?

I don't know.

What kind of license
can a guy get in Canada?

I don't need a moose-hunting license.

Hmm. No, no, mm-mm, you don't.

Ms. Kannerman, what floor?

Oh, um,

I actually am staying on this floor.

Oh... kay.

Um, I wanted to invite
you to my wedding.

Oh, is it a multi-floor wedding?

I can take your guests from
the ceremony to the reception.

No, um, I haven't actually

I...

I wanted to invite you as a guest.

Yeah. Come on, AI elevator operator,

Oh, no plus one.

Or two or three or four or however many.

I mean it.

[HOLDEN] Plaintiffs, may
I have your attention?

Hey.

You won.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

- We won.
- Great.

Each family that lost a
member to the Freeyond scheme

should clear $ million

after expenses in the settlement.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

Holden.

What are the terms of the settlement?

I mean, what happens to all the
incriminating sh*t we found out?

Well, it'll all be sealed.

That's standard practice.

Well, I-I thought we were
gonna make it all public,

blow the lid off this
thing, and get justice?

We got $ million of
justice for the survivors.

Um, that's great,

but what about me?

That doesn't change
things for uploads at all.

We're still legally not real people.

I don't represent uploads,

I represent my clients and the firm,

and we won big for them.

But this is a disaster.

If that's your opinion,

you're not gonna make a great lawyer.

I was just thinking that.

Call Luke.

Hey.

Nora said they're not going public

with any of the stuff that we sent her.

It's all gonna be sealed.

What? Why?

[LUCY] Leeshy,

Karina wants you in her office.

I'm gonna be fired.

If you get fired, I'll
never see you again.

Karina said now.

f*ck.

I will see you later.

[LUCY] Attention, attention.

Hey, guys. So, due to a recent lawsuit,

Horizen is gonna make a
greater effort at compliance

with the three regulations.

So, as you know,
legally there can only be

one brain running per human being,

dead or alive.

So, no judgment, no
penalties, we just need to know

how many angels in this branch

have, in the past, illegally
copied their uploads.

How many? Show of hands.

God f*cking damn it.

I thought it was less.

- Hey.
- Hmm.

So...

you want to talk about what we were

talking about earlier?

Or you feel less optimistic now?

Well, um,

I'm probably not gonna be
street legal anytime soon.

Yeah.

But I did think about it.

f*ck 'em.

I was a person before,
I'm still a person now,

no matter whose definition
I'm on the wrong side of.

Yeah.

And, I mean, one way to look at today,

it sucked, for sure,

but you could also look at it this way:

We did our part.

Okay? We k*lled Freeyond,

we got justice for the families.

The weight of that's
off our shoulders now.

We didn't fix everything,

the world still isn't perfect.

And even though you deserve perfect,

maybe now it's okay for
us to just worry about us,

not wait for some perfect moment.

I can't get some

piece of paper that makes it official,

but I do know what's in my heart.

It's in my heart, too.

I know.

That's all that matters to me.

[DOOR OPENS]

[MAN CLEARS THROAT]

Sir, can we see your identification?

Yeah. Um...

Oh, it's in... my other pants.
