Don't worry about me.

But if you want to worry,

He never remembers
the previous day?

For him, there is
no yesterday.

Or not one that matters.

First-class continuations
don't save program data,

only the...
execution context.

Is the call from
Mother necessary?

Emotion is important for
creative problem-solving.

Sir...

[Gulps]

And adding back emotion
is what made the others useless.

Yes, sir, but those emotions
were too strong, ungoverned.

They took over.

For Chanda, we specifically
simulated this call

from his mother to incentivize
progress via social utility...

Don't talk Cambridge to me.

I'm from the chawls.

It's love, but with just enough
annoyance to keep on task.

Sir.[Laughs]

Good man.

Speed him up.

Dad?!

[Roars]

Aah!

[Rapid footfalls,
roaring]

A little help here!

Aah!

Woman: When I was 10,

my dad and I would play
"Reign of Winter"

on Sundays
when he was done with work.

Now that he's no longer alive...

we get to play almost every day.

[♪]

"Reign of Winter"
has come a long way, too...

Full VR, haptic modeling.

It's like you're really there.

Hey, where were you?

Damn Chimera almost had me
for breakfast.

I was here.

[Wind whistling]

Dad...

[Horse whinnies]And I was scanning

the Shenzhen index
for signs of Laurie.

[Chiming]

What? You said she was
a Wall Street trader, right?

I thought maybe she was hiding
out in a stock exchange.

I'm sure when Laurie's ready
to contact you, she will.

Just admit that
it's weird.

She helps me escape
Logorhythms,

sets up a secure server block
for me to hide on,

and never even says hi?

She is weird.

Her husband
was weird, too.

Maybe it's me.

It's almost like a guy
gets uploaded,

and women don't want
to talk to him anymore.

I told you.

Mom just needs time.

It's only been a few days.

Time doesn't move at the same
speed for me, Maddie.

You know how long
"a few days" feels?

I'm... I'm not sure if we know
how anything feels for you.

Is that it, then?
She doesn't think I'm human?

I didn't say that.

She's super busy right now.

She's had to work a lot
more hours since you...

And also, she hates VR, okay?

It makes her nauseous.

Dad?

Hello?

[Wind whistling]

[Whooshing, clank,
horse whinnies]

It's die time!

It's another party.

They look high-level.

[Whooshing, warbling]

[♪]

[♪]

Whoa! What the hell?

[Voice distorted, echoes, fades]

[♪]

What the hell was that?!

Man:
What the hell was that?

Signature burst.
It was one of them.

Can we track it?

Waxman is not done writing
the tracking program yet.

Just record the spike,
and we'll send it for analysis.

I told you, only do moves
a regular player could do.

If the mods find out
you're in the code...

You're worried
I'll get banned.

I'm worried
you'll be hunted by, like,

the NSA or something!

Dad, no one can know
you exist.

Well, according to my wife, I don't.

I'll talk to her.

Okay?

[♪]

[♪]

Man: Each individual will be
the god

of their own
customizable heaven.

A world beyond scarcity.

A world without rich or poor.

Without exclusion
or possession.

A world without death.

Just imagine.

It's easy if you try.

Yeah. [Sarcastically]
Real original.

[Locker door opens]

I-I know it's
none of my business.

I just want you to know that
what you're dealing with

is not normal.

And [Sighs] you shouldn't have
to go through it.

At least, not alone.

[Indistinct conversations]

So... You're right,

it's none
of your business.

[Locker door closes]

[Computer keys clacking]

Second att*ck in a week...

They're saying
billion-dollar loss.

I think it's more.
No one's claimed it yet?

Maybe it's the Chinese.

"I heard they're testing a
program to upload human brains."

[Footsteps approaching]

[Door creaks]Caspian?

Mom.
You scared me.

I'm sneaky like that.

Whatcha lookin' at?

Nothing.
School stuff.

Look...

about the other day...

with your father and me...

Uploaded intelligence, actually,
is what I'm looking at.

What's that?

You know how I upload the data
on your laptop to the cloud,

in case it crashes?

It's like that,
but with the data

that's stored in humans.

Memories, feelings,
skills, everything.

Is this a movie
or something?

No, remember
Stephen Holstrom?

Here's him talking about it,
back in 2001, before he d*ed.

So, if Logorhythms was working
on it way back then...

Logorhythms?

The microchip company?

You seriously think
they're turning people

into... [Inhales deeply]
brain clouds now

in Silicon Valley?

It's not brain clouds,
Mom, and it...

Wait, it wouldn't be
in Palo Alto.

That's for sure...
If they're really doing this,

it would be way off-site,
like overseas.

Fewer regs on human trials,
harder to trace the money.

[Muttering]

[Car door opens, closes]

[♪]

[Ringing]

I know you said stick to
the plan, but I think he's

searching for the data center.
He's watching videos

of Stephen, and...
And we're watching

everything he's watching.

Renee...

Breathe.

Focus on tomorrow.

This is the most
critical inflection

point of his adolescence.

We need you on top of things.

So does he.

Pick a g*dd*mn hammer
and be done with it.

You make it a two-person job
because whatever I pick

is somehow gonna be wrong.

And I'm not driving back
out here again

because you don't like
the grip or something.

"This Must Be the Place" plays...

[♪]

It's interesting.

G major, but it never hits
the tonic chord of its key.

It's an intriguing pattern,
almost like a...

Almost like a recursive loop.

Maybe that's how I can solve
memory allocation.

Recursion.

I love the way your mind works.

And your body's not too bad,
either.

Mm, later I want to work out
that Hidden Markov Model idea.

I think it'll be vital
to cracking integrity.

If anyone can do it, you can.

Just imagine existing
in a universe

unencumbered by this.

♪ Home is where I want to be

There are still some benefits

Limited.

In the cloud, we'll be able
to tap into senses

we never knew we had...
Imagine the best sex

you've ever had.

Now imagine that
a million times over,

for eternity.

[Knock on door]

Don't get it.

It's Cary.

Do you want to...

[Scoffs]

Here are the papers,
Mr. Holstrom.

Oh. I'll come back for them
in the morning.

No, I'll sign them now.

Just give me a sec.

[Paper rustling]

[Pen scratching paper]Here you go...

dear.

I told you, I don't like
that one.

Yeah.

That's what sold me on it.

See you at home.

Every time.

Why are people
so scared of you?

No one likes a girl
whose weight and IQ

are both over 115.

I'm intimidating.

I don't think so.

Then why did you ask me,
out of

800 other girls
you don't know,

to be the bodyguard who protects
you from an adult man?

sh*t.

It's fine.
I'm as judgy as the rest of you.

But remarkably better at it.

What are you
up to tonight?

[Heavy sigh]

My parents aren't speaking
to each other, and it sucks.

They still married?

Yeah!

I mean, they're...
separated.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I've been there,
and it does suck.

It gets easier after they just
pull it together and divorce.

They are not getting divorced!

Okay.

I didn't mean to yell.

I-I just mean they're going
through a bad time.

And... and, yes, things suck,
but they still love each other,

which drives me crazy
'cause they should be together.

So I'm going to "Parent Trap"
them.

What the hell is
a parent trap?

You've never seen
"The Parent Trap"?!

- Never heard of it.
- Not even the Lindsay Lohan one?

[Sighs]
I'm setting up a dinner date

for them
so they'll be forced to talk

and we can go back
to being a family.

Oh, that's cute.

Thanks.
And terrible.

You cannot put two adults
in a room for a play date

and expect everything
they're dealing with

to get resolved
over mac-and-cheese.

I got to make this happen,
Justine.

My mom's dating a guy at her
job, and it might be serious.

Gabe... I can't have a step dad
named Gabe.

Oh, so, there's a twist.

What does your dad think
about Gabe?

Nothing, because he doesn't
know Gabe exists,

and I am not going
to tell him.

I don't want to upset him
any more...

By letting him know
another dude...

Presumably younger, hotter,
and taller...

Is banging his wife?

Ugh.

You have a messed-up life
for a happy kid.

I'm into it.

[Paper rustling]

[Footsteps approaching]

[Telephone ringing]

Uh, hello?

Man: Hi.

Why won't you talk to me?

[Footsteps approaching]

[Door opens]Huh?!

Didn't mean to scare you.

I'm running to class
but wanted to check and see

if we're
still on for tonight.

Tonight?
Uh...

[Telephone rings]

Undergrads.
No respect for office hours.

Ever.[Chuckles] Yeah.

So? Yeah, yeah!

Yeah, we're on.
We're on, yes.

Definitely.

Man: So, is Lowell in there?

If I rub the server,
does she come out?

It's just a recursive copy
of her source.

Only the parts of her
needed to att*ck our network.

Well, it was enough.

After the whack she gave us,
I need to shore up capital

to keep the lights on here.

Can't you just move money
from product services or, uh...

Not my area.

I'll be four time zones away
but still reachable,

so let me know if something
pops up from Kim or Lowell or...

Problem with the kid!

He's written a script to search
for redacted locations

on Google Earth,
including cached images.

[Chimes]

[♪]

Man: There's a ton
of redacted places.

How'd he get to Norway?

Cross-referenced our public
financial disclosures.

- Found our...
- Our donations to the Ocean Fund.

Clever as ever.
Can you head him off?

I'm in Google's database,
swapping out

the cached images now.

Too late.
He found us.

He's got archived photos
of the construction site.

Whoa.

[♪]

What the hell?

And...
we're gone.

Whoosh.
Are you kidding?

He found us.

He didn't get
a screens hot.

He can't prove anything.
Saken er biff.

Don't Norwegian this!
He saw you change the image.

He knows.

Everything he knows

is about to end tomorrow.

[Door opens]Call me if there's a change.

As nature intended.

[Exhales]

Smelling.

I forgot about smelling.

Mom! Can you come help me
with the couscous?

I'll be down
in a second.

She thinks I'm cooking
for World Cultures Day.

Maybe this isn't
such a good idea.

Don't worry.
You look great.

I called Mom.

At her office.

What?! Dad! Dad, I told you I
would handle it!

I was going to!
- Sorry.

[Footsteps approaching]
She hung up on me.

- I don't know why I...
- Maddie, that smells amazing.

Our daughter has become
quite the chef.

Thanks, Dad.

Have a seat.

Maddie, can I talk to you?

Sure.
Have some soup.

I'm sorry I surprised
you at work.

I-I-I just really need
to talk to you.

Mom!

This is not okay,
and you know it.

Why are you being like this?!

You know where I stand.

You made a choice
to disregard my feelings.

And what about
his feelings?!

You're breaking
his heart!

This isn't human, Maddie!
It doesn't feel!

It's Dad!
It's David Kim!

Okay!
It's your father.

But it's not
my husband.

Because you can't have sex
with him?

What? Whatever!

Just... Just go, okay?

Go to Gabe.

That's what you
dressed up for.

No, no, no.

We're gonna talk right now.

Good.

I meant me and you.

Whatever you say to me,
you can say to him.

Ellen...

please.

When you're ready to talk,
let me know.

[Door opens, closes]

Sorry, Dad.

Dad?

Dad, are you there?

Who's Gabe?

[Screaming, zombies growling
on television]

Huh?!

What's wrong?

Sorry.
Can we change this?

Sure.
In fact, watch this.

No more zombies.

I'd rather watch you.

[Electricity crackling]

I feel like I should make a joke
about our sexual electricity,

but that if I do, we won't
actually have sex again.

Oh, yeah,
follow that impulse.

Ellen...

what's going on?

Okay, I'm... I'm starting
to get real uncomfortable.

I'm sorry.

You have to tell me
what's really going on,

or I can't do this.

Gabe...

I...

can't.

Because I wouldn't understand

or believe, right?

That's what you said,

because I wouldn't believe you?

Try me.

[Scoffs]

[Door opens]Please don't.

What?
Finish that sentence.

"Please don't" what?

I can't do anything you want
or don't want

if you don't talk to me.

[Brakes squeal,
footsteps]

Ellen:
How does this work?

What are you doing?

Okay, is...
What, is he in there?

I need to talk to him.
Now.

[Whooshing, thud]

What is this?

What am I...

not wearing? You're you.

I custom-built you an avatar
out of some photo reference

and used the barbarian-priestess
body as a base.

Seriously?

David: Ellen...

David.

I told you...

two years ago
that if you did this,

it wouldn't be you.

Not to me.

I know. No, you don't,

because
it's not you.

And it is you.

Do you understand?

I don't know what you are.

I can't be someone who...

I can't be with you
like this.

Look, I get it.

We said
"till death do us part."

And I d*ed.

Then...

I came back.

You d*ed!

Two horrible years,
I mourned you.

I woke up crying
every day!

Then, I finally moved on.

I found a new house because
the old one reeked of you.

I found a great guy...
One who helped me realize

that you were in the grave, not me.

I had to move on, David.

You have to let me keep moving.

I know.

I'm sorry.
I... I will.

Dad?

All I ask of you...
is the same.

You don't know what I am?
Well, neither do I.

I can't explain what it feels
like to be where I am

or where I'm not.

I know I'm not
the man you knew.

But when you said
I wasn't... human...

Oh, God, I'm sorry.

Listen to me.

I don't know what I am,
but I do know who I love.

I love Maddie...

and I love you.

And this love is what I am.

Without it, I stop moving.

And I need to keep moving, too.

I can't be your wife.

But we can keep talking.

And maybe...

we can both keep moving.

[Creature growls softly]

[Wingbeats fade]

This must be, hands down,
the weirdest breakup

in human history.

Oh, yeah,
this is new ground.

Neil Armstrong,
eat your heart out.

[Both laugh]

Four?

First three
were for the pain.

Mm, ah.

I'm hoping this one will drown
out the sound of your voice.

You want pain?!

You want to talk about pain?!

I am...
I am done with you!

Done!

Get your finger
out of my face!

Cary! Cary!

Put it down!

You asked for this!

You just made the biggest

All this...

You two will be out

What are we gonna do?
What are...

We're gonna get you
to the hospital.

And then I'm gonna

Alright, well, [Laughs]
the Pearl Jam thing was rude.

I mean, I thought Gabe
was gonna pee himself.

But?[Laughs]

But I laughed
on the way home.

One one wants your input.

What's he saying?

Your...
Oh, your dad is saying

he's grateful that I turned down
the hottest living grunge star

when he was in
his Samson-haired prime,

mind you, so that
I could date him instead

and end up having you.

He said none of that.

That's my girl.

Thanks for kicking my ass
into gear.

I needed that.

Man: Congratulations, Cary.
How do you feel?

You know, he kicked the hell
out of me.

Got pretty scary
for a second, honestly.

You okay?
You need medical attention?

No, no, I...

I should be able
to make it to the debrief.

- What's wrong?
- Nothing.

The inflection point was met.

Right on schedule.

Cary, come on.

I'm...

I'm gonna miss him,
that's all.

- You'll see him again soon.
- I know.

He's one of the leading voices
in tech and business...

I'll check in with
Van Leuwen tomorrow,

but I want you to hear me now...
Good job.

Please welcome
to the Global Tech Forum,

Julius Pope,
CEO of Logorhythms.

Gotta go.

[Applause]

So, we are approaching
the 20th anniversary

of our world without
Stephen Holstrom in it.

It's crazy to think about.Yeah.

And I'm sure you've been sick of
this question

- for at least a decade...
- "What would Steve say?"

No, I'm not sick
of the question.

We ask it every day. Still?

Still, and always.

Okay, well,
then what do you think

Stephen would say about
the artificial intelligence

arms race that our industry
has fallen into?

Well, I imagine
it would be short... one word.

One that I can't say here.

[Light laughter]

[Applause]

"Upload."

That's the dirty word Holstrom

would really want
to say out loud.

Why expand
machine intelligence

when you've got the best
operating system right here?

Careful, there.

You can't see 'em, but there's
ethics watchdogs everywhere,

sniffing around.

That hasn't stopped us,
though, has it?

There's an "us"? There can be.

A joint patent.
One-time offer.

Our next speaker is the head of
India's largest telecom empire.

Think about it.

You have 10 seconds. What have you done?

He is responsible for connecting
over one billion people.

5 seconds.

This isn't some knock-off
phone or chip, Ajit.

This is dangerous tech.

You don't want to play with it.

Knock-off?

You's a Stephen Holstrom
knock-off.

Not even that.

...Ajit Prasad,
CEO of Alliance Telecom!

Know what else you're not?

You're not the only game
in town anymore.

[Applause]

How do we get out of here?

I... I can't do that.

I don't know how!

[Beeping]

Spiking again?

Gotta wipe you clean,
Chanda.

Sorry.

Hi.

You didn't do
anything wrong.

You were trying to
be a friend,

and I was embarrassed,

so I shut down.

I'm really sorry, Hannah.

I like you.

Could I take you out?

On a real date?

Like in the '50s
or the...'90s,

whenever people did that.

Just so you know, I wasn't
trying to be a "friend."
