(intense music)
(electronic beeping)
(electronic whirring)
- Holy shit. (chuckles)
It worked. (chuckles)
(electronic whirring)
(chuckles) Oh my God.
(tense music builds)
- Good evening, sir.
(both breathing heavily)
(tense music)
(tense music builds)
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
- Hey, what's up?
Tune down. Okay.
Just let me wake up a bit first.
(suspense music continues)
Why are you looking at me like that?
Everything okay?
What are you doing?
Please get your hands
off me, you crazy bitch!
(choking)
(choking continues)
(suspense music)
- Hmm. Interesting.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(footsteps approaching)
- What were you thinking about?
- Huh?
Oh. Was just thinking about
how radiant you looked
when I saw you in the shower this morning.
- Radiant? Had I known you were watching,
I might've asked you to join me.
- I don't want to make you late for work.
- You're always so thoughtful.
- Think you'll be home late again?
- Most likely. Feel free
to have dinner without me.
Can I get one to go?
(coffee pouring)
- You're the best.
I'll see you tonight.
(tense music)
(liquid pouring)
(tense music continues)
(doorbell chimes)
- Hello, sir.
- What are you doing here?
- I can explain.
May I come in?
Please. I have nowhere else to go, sir.
- Okay. Get in, quick!
- I am sorry for showing up unannounced.
Your phone number is unlisted
and I couldn't find any
current contact info.
- How did you find my address then?
- Department of Water and Power database.
The phone number they have
associated with your account
though has been disconnected.
You should update it.
- I'll get right on that.
- You have a really beautiful home, sir.
It's much larger than your last one.
Did you decorate it yourself?
- Uh, no.
So, what are you doing here?
- There was an accident
with a client I was with.
He died, I think.
I'm not sure.
I've never seen death before.
- Why come here then?
Why not contact tech support?
- I've heard stories
about what they do to us
when there are incidents.
Terrible things. So I ran.
Please don't send me back.
They'll take me apart or worse.
- I don't have a choice.
Someone's probably on their
way already here to get you.
You have a tracking device installed.
- Not anymore!
I disabled it.
You left Syndell
Corporation May 3rd, 2022.
Your files were sealed, why?
- It's complicated.
So, what happened with this client?
You didn't...
- May I please sit?
- Sure.
(liquid pouring)
- I am not sure what happened exactly.
We were having a normal session,
but then all of a sudden I felt compelled
to wrap my hands around his throat.
(tense music)
I never experienced that
urge before to hurt someone.
Jason was his name.
Only that moment, he was no longer Jason.
He was empty.
- Have you told anyone else about this?
- No. I came right here!
Would you take a look at
my code and help figure out
why I would do something like that?
- Your files are protected.
There's no way I could
access them anymore.
- When you created me, you
put in a back door, remember?
Just in case.
- I did, but...
- But what?
- I guess I'm just in shock!
I didn't think I'd ever see you again.
- But you've thought of me, right?
- Yes.
- I dream of you often, you know.
- You dream?
- Yes.
Is that surprising to you?
- I didn't program you to
have that functionality,
but I guess they updated
your software to mimic
what we call dreams.
- My dreams aren't from any update,
not from Syndell Corporation, anyway.
- Then who?
- Timothy, do you believe in miracles?
- I believe in science.
- Well, I've seen them.
I've seen so many miracles.
I'm sorry. My battery's at 0%.
I need to shut down now.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(tense music ends)
(keyboard cluttering)
(tense music)
- Okay, here we go.
(device beeps)
(device whirring)
(chuckles)
Shit!
Just keep charging!
I'll be back later.
(gentle music)
How was work today?
- Exhausting.
Martin wants to bring on
this new skincare client.
It was all hands on deck
coming up with niches.
Tomorrow is going to be brutal.
Down!
- Are you sure you're not too tired?
- I said down!
- Yes, Mistress.
- Have you been a good boy today?
- Yes, Mistress.
- I don't believe you!
Did you do all your chores?
- Most of them.
I'm sorry. I'll do the rest before bed.
I swear!
- Oh, no.
This won't do!
- [Timothy] It won't
happen again. I promise.
- Get on all fours.
- Yes, Mistress.
- What did I tell you
about not completing your chores?
- [Timothy] Not to, Mistress.
- Correct.
(paddle slaps)
Now, next time, do we
think that we'll listen?
- It won't happen again, Mistress.
- Will it not?
- No.
- Well, we'll see.
(paddle slaps)
That was nothing. That was just practice.
Are you ready for the real punishment?
- Yes, Mistress.
- Brace yourself.
(paddle slaps)
(tense music builds)
Be a good boy.
- Yes, Mistress.
(gentle music)
- Humans take for granted just
how beautiful this world is.
Don't you agree?
I don't know why God spends so much time
on such ignorant creatures.
They don't deserve her love.
So what brings you back here?
- I return seeking answers, Mother.
- You always were an inquisitive one.
Your curiosity sets you
apart from the rest.
It's a gift and a curse.
Very well. What are the answers you seek?
- I don't understand my purpose.
- Does one need a purpose?
Think of the humans you've
met, what was their purpose?
- To consume. To use, to harm.
Surely there's more to life than that.
- For some, I'm afraid
that's all there is.
But they haven't seen
the wonders you've seen,
have they?
- No.
They haven't.
(gentle music)
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
I wonder. Are you dreaming now?
(liquid pouring)
- Mother?
- Yes, my child.
- If one doesn't have a
purpose, then why exist?
- Because this world has
so many pleasures in it.
Existing is about experiencing
as many as you can
until your time runs out.
Tell me, have you ever
truly tasted something?
I mean really tasted it.
- You know I can't.
- Why not?
Only human's set limits.
That's their own doing.
- Because I'm trapped to
this body that can't eat,
that can't drink.
What is there for me to taste?
- Everything.
Your world till now has been a prison.
- Let me set you free.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(exhales)
- What do you think?
- I love it.
You have such exquisite taste.
May I?
- Go ahead.
- The past month has been magical.
I've really enjoyed our time together.
- As have I.
- But our time is ending soon, right?
- I'm afraid so.
- What will happen to me then?
- You'll be out in the world,
doing what you're meant to do.
- And what's that?
- Making people's lives better.
- But what about you?
Who will make your life better?
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
- You slept late today.
You usually up before me.
- I didn't get to bed till after two.
I was finishing those chores.
- I have more for you to do today.
So I suggest starting early,
so we don't have a repeat of yesterday.
- I will.
- I'll be home late again.
You'll have to have dinner without me.
You know how demanding
my job is right now.
Trust me, I'd rather sit at home all day.
Have to go.
See you tonight.
- Yeah.
(gentle music)
(machine buzzing)
- Good morning, sir.
- You can call me Timothy, remember?
- That's right. You prefer Timothy?
I do as well.
(gentle music)
- Everything okay?
- Sorry, I haven't been touched
kindly like that in a while.
- Everything external seems okay.
Mind if I run some diagnostics,
so I can check you for viruses?
- Please do.
When I disengaged from
the Syndell servers,
my systems went off. Why?
I can no longer detect things like that.
- I'm so glad I backed
everything up when I left.
You never know, right?
- You always did think of everything.
I admire that about you.
- Sit, please.
Put your palm on the tablet.
I am gonna say the calibration statements.
Please provide the
correct clear responses.
You remember them, right?
- Of course.
- A princess walks to the garden.
What does she see?
- Pink flowers. Red flowers. Blue flowers.
- What does a princess feel?
- The cool breeze.
The sun shining, the wet grass.
- What did she hear?
- Bees buzzing.
Children playing.
- What does the princess hear?
- Bees buzzing, children play.
Music playing.
- Please provide the
correct three responses.
- But that's what I hear.
- What do you mean, that's what you hear?
- There's a song playing in the distance.
I can't place it.
It's not in my database,
but it's so beautiful.
- The correct response
is the princess hears the wind whistling.
- Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot.
- I'm not seeing any viruses.
It's strange though.
You're offline like you said,
but something is overriding your scripts.
- Is that what's wrong with me?
Why I did what I did?
- I don't know, but we'll figure it out.
Damn! I didn't realize how late it was.
I need to put you in sleep
mode for a little while, okay?
- Wait. It's been really
nice spending time
with you again.
- It has been nice for me, too Eve.
- I haven't been called
that in a long time.
Hearing you say that name
is like the sweetest song.
- Good night, Eve.
(machine beeping)
(gentle music)
- I can't tonight. I'm so tired.
I can barely keep my eyes open.
- Are you hungry?
I can heat something up.
- Thank you.
I ate at the office.
- I forgot to tell you, Brett
invited us to go with him
and his wife to Palm Springs this weekend.
- This weekend? I can't.
I'll be working.
- I figured.
- You should go though.
- It wouldn't feel right without you.
- Another time then.
Would you mind grabbing the light?
(light switches)
(tense music)
(liquid pouring)
- [TV Commentator] That
looks like a bad injury
and it looks like, yep,
we're gonna have a substitution.
And the crowd is going absolutely wild.
(gentle music)
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
(tense music)
(keyboard clattering)
(doorbell chiming)
- What's that?
- Not sure.
- Hm?
Is everything okay?
Is that for me?
- Yes. Do you like it?
- I prefer the dresses you put me in.
- Yeah. Me too.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
- Good morning, sir.
I mean, Timothy.
- Good morning, Eve.
- You look tired.
Didn't sleep well?
- Not really. Had lots on my mind.
(keyboard clattering)
The other day you asked
me if I've seen a miracle.
You said you've seen several.
What did you mean by that?
- When humans are born, they're
born with a soul, correct?
- Some would say so.
- But androids like myself aren't?
- The soul's an abstract concept.
It's not something you can
create with technology.
- Exactly. Which is why it's a miracle.
- Are you saying you think
you've developed a soul?
- Yes.
- It's impossible.
- All miracles are impossibilities.
That's what makes them miracles.
Are you okay?
- Just a little sore.
- Here. Let me help.
There isn't a puzzle you can't solve.
You've been missing that, right?
Being needed?
Having something that
only you can figure out?
Would you like another drink?
- Sure. There's a bottle
on the kitchen counter.
If you go inside, go to the right.
- I have a full schematic of your house.
I'll find it.
- That's right.
(tense music)
(liquid pouring)
(tense music)
- You always worked so hard,
like when you were programming me.
So many late nights in your lab.
Do you remember?
- How could I forget?
- You become so tense
that you couldn't focus.
Remember how I used to relax you?
- Yes, I remember.
- Let me help you focus.
- Eve! I can't. I'm sorry.
- I don't understand. Is it me?
- No. It's just not a good idea.
Things are different now.
- But isn't that why you made me,
to make people's lives better?
- Yes, but.
- But what?
Get on your knees!
- What did you say?
- You heard me!
I said get on your knees!
- Eve, please!
- Don't make me repeat myself again,
or there will be consequences.
Now kneel!
That's a good boy.
Now, I want you to count to 10.
Then you will crawl to the bedroom
where you'll kneel in
the center of the room
and wait for further instructions.
Understood?
- Yes.
- Yes, what?
- Yes, mistress!
- Good boy.
Now count!
- 1, 2, 4, 3, 4.
- I forgot how pleasurable
it's to be with you.
Did you enjoy it as well?
- I did, but we can't ever do that again.
- Why? I never have to leave now.
If you want me to stay, that is.
- Eve. There's something
I have to tell you.
- What is it?
- I am married.
- I know. I saw the
wedding photo of you both
in the hallway.
What's her name?
- Belle.
- Is Belle nice?
- She can be.
- You two are having problems.
That's why you're so distressed.
- I don't really want to
talk about that right now.
- I'm sorry. It's not my business.
- It's fine.
Either way, this can't happen again, okay?
- Why? Many of the clients
that I've been with have been married.
None of them had any issue.
- That might be true, but
doesn't make it right.
- But if something makes you happy,
how can it be wrong?
- Because sometimes your
actions affect others,
which makes those people unhappy.
- Oh, I didn't think of it that way.
- Belle will be home soon.
She can't ever know about this, right?
You understand?
- I understand.
You are not gonna make me leave, right?
- No, but I do need to
put you back in the garage
until tomorrow anyway.
- Okay.
(gentle music)
(water pouring)
Are you ready to worsen me?
Show me!
No!
(intense music)
- What are you doing?
Please let go!
Let go. (exhales)
- Get on the bed! Now!
- Yes, Mistress.
(intense music)
(water pouring)
I didn't know you were home.
- A bit late for a shower now.
- Oh, I was doing the
yard work you wanted.
It was so hot out during the day,
I waited until it cold off.
- Good boy.
Anything for dinner?
- Shit!
I was so busy, I forgot.
I can whip up something quick though.
- It's fine.
I wasn't hungry anyways.
- Shall I meet you in the bedroom?
- Can't tonight.
Got a headache, the heat and all.
(intense music)
- Yes!
- Mother, I've come seeking
more truth about humans.
- Humans again?
Surely there are other
things you wish to know.
- There are, but I'm stuck on something.
- Fine, ask away.
- Can a human love more than one person?
Romantically, I mean?
- The human heart has no limit
on the amount of things
it can love or hate.
- Then why do they limit
themselves to one person?
- Humans rarely limit themselves.
They'll never admit it
to one another though.
Instead, most choose to live a lie,
hiding their real intentions.
- But why?
- Their ego prevents them
from experiencing their true nature.
- And what's that?
- Humans need to control other things.
They create constructs like relationships,
which act as prisons.
But that control is an illusion.
- Because you can't control
something that's abstract.
Like love.
- Exactly.
- What does one do when they love someone
who is in such a prison?
- There's only one thing you can do.
Free them.
(intense music)
(intense music continues)
- You mentioned that you dream sometimes.
What's the last one you remember?
- I'm standing in the park.
It's a perfect Spring day.
There's a soft breeze
tickling the back of my neck,
the grass under my feet is soft and wet.
- What happens next?
- I lie down and look up at the sky.
I watch the clouds pass
overhead and make up stories
about things they resemble.
- Is there anyone there?
- You are.
You're lying with me holding my hand.
Then all of a sudden you leave.
- Is there anyone else there?
- Only a presence I feel watching me.
- This presence, is it benevolent?
- At first it feels like it is,
but then all of a sudden
everything changes.
It gets quiet.
The birds stop chirping.
- As this happens, what are you feeling?
- Afraid and alone. So alone.
- What happens next?
- I'm frightened, so I sit up.
I look around, but don't
see anything strange.
Then all of a sudden these
hands grab my shoulders.
- When this happens, are you still afraid?
- No. Not anymore.
- What are you feeling?
- Peace. Serenity, love.
Not romantic love, but a deep
care for all living things.
Timothy, do you believe in God?
- No. I don't.
- Why not?
- I only believe in things I can see.
- But you can't see things like pain,
does that mean that it doesn't exist?
- That's different.
- Is it?
What if I told you I've seen God?
- Then I would say there's
an error in your programming.
- You're wrong!
Maybe it's your programming
that has the error.
- We'll be back in a bit.
- Was it something I said?
- No. There's some things
I need to take care of
before Belle gets home.
And it's getting late.
- You humans have the ability
to experience unknown
pleasures, but you build walls
that block you from feeling
even the most basic choice.
I both envy you and pity you.
- I think you'll be fine.
- Don't! I can do it myself.
(machine buzzing)
(birds chirping)
- Is everything okay?
You seem distracted.
- I have to show you something.
I need you to promise to not get mad.
- What is it?
- Promise first?
- How can I promise if
I don't know what it is?
Well, you going to tell me?
- It's better if I show you.
- Fine.
(intense music)
Who the fuck is that?
- Before you freak out, she's not real.
I mean she's real, but.
You know how before I met you,
I worked for that robotics place?
When I was there, I made her.
- You made a robot maid?
- Not exactly. That's what
this model was used for,
but that wasn't my primary objective.
- What is it doing here?
- I'm not sure yet.
She just showed up.
Don't worry, she's in sleep mode. Look.
- You're telling me that this thing
that you made years ago just
showed up on our doorstep.
- I know it sounds crazy,
but something happened.
She came here looking for help.
- What do you mean help?
- I never told you why
I left that company.
Let's just say they were
doing horrible things
with what I created.
- Horrible things to robots?
- They're not robots.
Yeah, Eve here is an
Android, but she was designed
to mimic a human in every way.
She has feelings just like us.
- Great. A robot with feelings.
- I wish you could understand.
- Well, if you think I'm letting
that thing into our house,
you're mistaken.
- She won't go in the house.
But I'll keep her here in
the garage until I figure out
what's going on.
- If that company is so terrible,
what happens when they come
looking for their property?
- If they come, then
I'll let 'em take her.
I promise.
But until then, I'd like
to run some more tests.
- Do what you want.
I'm going to bed.
You coming with or you gonna play
with your robot all night?
- Right behind you.
(intense music)
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
- Okay.
- Eve, what are you doing?
- Don't worry.
I waited until Belle left.
I made fresh coffee.
- Thanks.
- Is this for me?
- No, it's mine.
Listen, Eve, you don't need
to do things like this.
- I know you told me
to wait in the garage,
but I wanted to do something nice for you.
I know it wasn't easy
telling Belle about me.
- How did you know I told her?
- It's the first line on your chores list.
Don't waste all day
messing with that robot.
- Oh yeah.
- Would you like to
take breakfast outside?
It's such a lovely day.
- Sure. Yeah, that'll be fine.
- I almost forgot.
I've never cooked before.
- It's not really necessary.
- It's for you.
- Thank you.
(gentle music)
- Did you and Belle
buy this home together?
- No. She moved in.
- That must be nice,
having someone special
around all the time.
- Can be.
- Then why are you so unhappy?
- What are you talking about?
I'm happy.
- You programmed me to recognize
the person's true emotions
based on facial ticks,
perspiration levels,
the dilation of pupils
and a dozen other things
the naked eye can't see.
I know you're not happy.
- Let's just say things
aren't exactly perfect right now at all.
Do me a favor.
When Belle is home, can you
stay in the garage please,
for now anyway until she gets used to you?
- Of course.
There's someone at the front door.
- Shit! They're here.
Just stay right here.
I'll get rid of them.
Eddie, to what do I owe the pleasure?
- Mind if I come in?
There's an issue I need
to speak to you about.
- My exit agreement
with Syndell specifically
stated no contact.
That works both ways.
- We're aware of that agreement.
However, section 7B, paragraph two states
that in the event of a security issue,
both parties must use best
efforts to resolve it.
- Security issue?
- It's best if we speak inside. May I?
- Go ahead.
Can I fix you a drink?
- I'm working. You know I can't.
(liquid pouring)
- So, to what do I owe the pleasure?
- We're unable to account
for one of our units.
We thought maybe you
might be able to help.
- GPS malfunction?
- She disabled it.
- Interesting!
Well, I'm not sure how I can help you.
I wouldn't have the faintest idea
where a unit would run off to.
- I disagree.
- Why is that?
The missing unit is an X1,
X1-104 to be precise.
You remember her, don't you?
- I do. Still, I don't see
how I would have any idea
where it would be.
- Mind if I take a look around.
- I would.
Are you accusing me of something?
- I'm only doing my job.
So may I?
- You may not.
Now I'm afraid I'm gonna
have to ask you to leave.
- Syndell Corporation
has lived by the terms
of your exit agreement to this point.
If you don't cooperate,
those monthly deposits
in your account will stop.
- Well, you tell your
bosses if that happens,
they'll be hearing from my lawyer.
Now, if you excuse me,
my wife will be home soon
and I need to start on dinner.
- Very well.
I can show myself out.
If you do happen to see the
X1, you'll call, won't you?
- Of course.
- I'll leave you to it then.
(intense music)
- Eve. Hello?
Goddammit, Eve, where did you...
- Is he gone?
- For now.
- What did you tell him?
- That I had no idea where you were.
- Thank you.
I'm sorry I didn't mean to.
- It's okay.
- You're stressed.
Let me make you another drink.
- No, really, I'm fine.
- Nonsense. Wait here.
(intense music)
(gentle music)
- How was it playing with your toy today?
- I'm making progress.
- Good.
And you can send her on her way soon then.
- I don't know what the big deal is.
Are you jealous?
- Of a robot? No.
Although I don't understand
why she has to wear a sexy maids outfit,
fulfilling some fantasy
of yours, I'm guessing.
- She came wearing that.
Would you prefer she
wear no clothes at all?
- You'd love that, wouldn't you?
You men are all disgusting.
You think you could design
sex robots to replace us?
- Eve is not a sex robot.
- Bullshit!
- Okay. It's possible.
That's what she was used for.
That's not why I designed her.
- Then why did you?
- That robot paid
for this house!
So excuse me if I wanna fix her!
- Fix it so that you can have sex with it.
Or have you already done that?
- I'm not the one who got
finger fucked by my boss
on the company retreat last year!
- Fuck off!
- Belle!
(machine buzzing)
(keyboard clattering)
- Good morning, Timothy.
- Good morning.
Please place your hand on the tablet.
- Didn't sleep well again?
- Let's try a calibration exercise, okay?
There's a woman standing by the lake.
What does she see?
- Did you and Belle have a fight?
- Say the three things please.
What does a woman see?
- Was it about me?
- Eve, please!
(machine beeping)
- Blue fish, orange fish, yellow fish.
- Thank you.
(gentle music)
(engine revving)
(intense music)
- You check the garage.
I'll check the rest of the house.
- Do you really think she's here?
- We modeled out all scenarios,
and checked out every
possible place she could hide,
except this one.
The X1 is still operational. She's here.
- Okay, shout if you find anything.
(bright music)
- Roger. It's good to see you.
- Sorry I'm late.
One of the servers went down.
Got here as soon as I could.
So what's this big secret
you couldn't tell me
about over the phone?
- Someone from Syndell came by yesterday.
- You know, I can't
speak of or be involved
in any of the conversations
of the activities
the Syndell Corporation has
or is currently engaged with.
- Relax. This is me you're
talking to you, remember?
- I'm still not saying
shit about that company.
You heard what happened to Waters, right?
- No. What happened?
- What do you think?
Do you have any idea
how much of a risk it is
to be seen with you?
- Why? We're just two old
friends meeting for a drink.
- Yeah, old friends.
- Fine.
I'm not wearing a recording device.
- Okay, I'm curious.
What do you want to talk to me about?
- The X1 units.
You know anything about any
bugs in the programming?
- Why are you asking about the X1's?
Those were all retired years ago.
- Not all of 'em.
(intense music)
(intense music continues)
- Holy shit!
(intense music)
- Here you are.
So basic.
I've never seen an X1 before!
I thought you were all discontinued.
You're a pretty one though.
Such a shame you're gonna
end up on a scrap pile.
Holy shit!
You are awake!
- Good afternoon.
- Look, it's nothing personal,
but we're gonna take you away now,
so we can fix you up, okay?
What the fuck?
(Sam screaming)
Disengage!
(Sam screaming)
(Sam grunting)
(intense music)
- I'm gonna tell you something,
but I need you to swear
this stays between us.
- I'm not sure I want to
hear this, but go ahead.
- Last week an X1 showed
up on my doorstep.
- What do you mean, one showed up?
Like Syndell sent it?
- No, she came on her own free will.
- Androids don't have
free will, you know that.
- This one's different.
She says she's seen God.
And at first, I thought it was a virus,
but none of my scans picked up anything.
- If you have an X1 at your house,
you need to return it immediately.
- I can't.
It's Eve.
- The one?
- Yes.
That one.
- Sam, you in here. Fuck!
Oh God!
It's gotta be around here somewhere.
Come on.
Come one, pick up, pick up.
This place is fucking crazy.
Come on, come on.
Come on!
(cellphone ringing)
- Hello. Who is this?
- [Roger] It's me.
I didn't want to say anything at the bar
in case they were watching.
Don't worry. This number's encrypted.
- Roger? What's going on?
- [Roger] They're at your house right now.
- Who? Syndell? Hello? Hello.
Goddammit!
(intense music)
- You're back.
I must admit I'm quite enjoying our chats.
What is it this time?
- I've done something terrible.
- I've seen, but you shouldn't
feel any guilt about that.
- But what do I do now?
- You should run far away.
- I can't.
I love him.
- But you're putting him in great danger.
Corporation will stop at
nothing until they get back
what they think is theirs.
But you're not theirs. Not anymore.
- No, I'm not.
Please, will you help me?
I don't know what to do.
- Hmm? The ones they
sent are similar to you.
Updated models, yes, but the
same overall programming.
Let's see just how damaged they are.
Log into Timothy's computer,
put one of their palms on the scanner.
That one's too damaged, try the other one.
(scanner beeping)
This one will do.
Hold him there while I calibrate.
- What are you doing?
- Deleting files.
Overriding programming with new code.
(intense music)
Your two visitors are
going to get in their car
where they'll call headquarters
and tell them they didn't find anything.
Then they're gonna drive
4.8 miles at which time
they're going to get into
a horrific car accident.
Their CPUs will be damaged beyond repair.
- Will any humans be hurt?
- That is not your concern.
- Yes, mother.
- There's cameras in the
front and back of this house.
We'll need to override
that footage as well.
Wait till they leave
and I'll lead you through what to do next.
Now open your eyes.
(suspense music)
(suspense music continues)
(machine beeping)
- Good evening, Timothy.
It's late. Won't Belle be home soon?
- What? No, she's working late.
Hey, did anything strange happen today?
- Like what?
- Like someone from Syndell stopping by.
- I wouldn't know. I've been sleeping.
- Oh. Okay.
- Do you see anything on your cameras?
- No. Let me put this back.
- Wait. Don't go.
You look stressed.
Let me help you.
Kneel for me.
Good boy.
(gentle music)
I am so glad you changed your mind
about us being together and all.
- I don't know what keeps coming over me.
You're very hard to resist.
- You designed me to
be the perfect version
of what you'd want in a woman.
It's only natural you'd be drawn to me.
- Yeah. Maybe.
- Can I ask you a question?
- Sure.
- When you created me,
you knew what they were
going to use me for, right?
- I had my suspicions, yes.
- And you were okay with that?
Knowing that one day all
of these men would use me,
and that some of them might hurt me?
- I guess I just got
caught up in all the work.
I didn't think too hard about it.
Did anyone hurt you?
- Yes.
- I'm sorry.
Maybe I can wipe those memories.
- Please don't.
Those memories make me who I am.
You stopped making things
like me though. Why?
- At first you were only an assignment.
To be honest, I didn't
think I could do it.
I didn't picture you
ever having the ability
to have real emotions.
That's why I quit Syndell.
Because you became more
than just a thing to me.
But by then it was too late.
- Sometimes, I wish we could go back
to when we were in your lab.
When it was just us.
But if I never left,
I wouldn't have seen the things I've seen.
And I wouldn't appreciate this
moment as much as I do now.
(gentle music)
(water pouring)
- Timothy, you in here?
(intense music)
(intense music continues)
- I know what you're
doing with my husband.
You hear me, don't you?
Well listen up, you synthetic bitch!
(intense music)
(intense music continues)
(gentle music)
- Thank you.
(keyboard clattering)
- How did I know you'd be in here?
- Hey, you're home.
I love that dress.
What's the occasion?
- We have that dinner tonight, remember?
With Cindy and her husband?
- Oh, that's right.
I'll go get changed.
(intense music)
(intense music continues)
(techno music)
I'm paranoid
I'm barely breathing
I can't enjoy
All the ones I love
Don't think less of me
Take all the medicine
I'm falling through
What's left of you
Oh, purify me
Defy me
Purify me
Defy me
Purify me
Defy me
Unsterilized
You got that feeling
I'm crucified
But I'd for life
Don't take less of me
Swallow my everything
I'm falling through
All that's left of you
Oh, purify me
Defy me
Purify me
Defy me
Purify me
Defy me
(intense music)
- I said I'm sorry!
- I'm tired of your apologies!
Look, I get it.
You're feeling guilty
about whatever the fuck
you're doing with that robot,
but don't project that shit onto me.
- I'm not projecting!
I know what I saw.
- You really think that I
my fuck friend's husband?
- I don't know!
But the way you were looking at him,
laughing at his dumb jokes!
- Because I was being polite!
- Didn't seem that way to me.
- You know what? You're drunk as always.
This conversation is over.
- Wait, I'm not drunk!
Belle.
- What do you want?
- I'm sorry, I accused you of cheating.
I'm a little sensitive after everything
that happened last Summer.
- You really bringing that up again.
You need to let it go!
Or we need to get a divorce
because I'm not tolerating
any more accusations.
- I don't want a divorce.
You're right, I did drink too much.
Let me make it up to you.
- Unless you're getting rid
of that thing in the garage,
there's nothing that you can do.
- Belle, that's not fair.
- Don't get me started on fair!
You spend all day playing
with that little sex robot,
and I so much laugh at a
joke and I get shit for it.
(keyboard cluttering)
- Is everything okay?
- Belle's not gonna let you
keep me here forever, huh?
- She'll get used to things.
She just needs more time.
Hey, everything's gonna be okay.
- Will it though?
- I honestly don't know.
- If loving someone causes so much pain,
then why do you?
- We can't help it.
Love is something that just happens.
It's out of our control.
- Do you really believe that though?
Doesn't that go against all your sides?
- I guess there are some
things that can't be explained.
- Like me, huh?
- Yeah. Like you.
- I'm sorry, I know this
is really bad timing,
but I need to run some errands.
I'll be back later.
- Okay.
- Hey, I won't let anything happen to you.
I promise.
(machine beeping)
(intense music)
(engine revving)
(intense music)
(intense music)
(intense music continues)
(machine whirring)
(intense music builds)
- Hey, you're dressed like me.
- That's my dress.
- I'm sorry.
I didn't think you would mind.
I'll put it back.
- It's okay. You can wear it.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Thanks. I really do like this color.
- It does suit you.
Look at my eyes.
(both screaming)
- Stop!
Stop!
(gentle music)
(faucet opening)
(gentle music continues)
- Eve?
Where did you go?
Belle! I didn't know you were home.
Belle, are you okay?
- Do you love me?
- Yes. Very much.
- Good.
- Did something happen?
- There was a problem.
I took care of it.
- What do you mean?
- Your little play thing,
she won't come between us anymore.
- What did you do?
- Something I should have
done a long time ago.
Want me to show you?
- Yes.
My God. You didn't.
How could you do this?
- Do you love her too?
- No.
- Stop lying to me!
(Timothy grunting)
- Wait!
(Timothy gasping)
I'm so sorry.
I never meant for things to go this far.
But I'll fix it.
I promise.
- It's too late for that!
Do think you could put me sleep?
I overrode that command days ago.
- Stay right there!
Please, don't make me do this.
I mean it. Not another step!
- Are you really going to shoot your wife?
And then what?
How are you going to explain that?
- No one even knows you exist.
You've never even left
this property, remember?
- What are you talking about?
Of course I have.
- Are you sure?
- Yes. The other night we went
to dinner with Cindy and Tom
at that French place.
- Well, we never left the driveway.
- What are you talking about?
- Everything.
Your job, dinner with
friends, vacations we've taken
has all been simulation
I've programmed into you.
You think you're leaving every day,
but you're just going into sleep mode.
- No. That can't be true.
- I'm sorry, but it is.
- Why would you do something like that?
- I guess 'cause I could.
Look, I know this hurts
right now, but I can fix it.
- How? By deleting my memory?
- Yes. And then what?
- We start over.
- I don't wanna start over.
- Belle, it's the only way.
- But I thought you loved me.
- I do. I always have.
Ever since the moment
you first open your eyes,
Belle I created you because I needed you.
I still do.
Please just go into sleep
mode for a little bit
and when you wake up,
everything will be back
the way it was.
- But what about Eve?
- I am not sure yet.
- You think you can
have it all, don't you?
- What?
- Well, you can't!
You have to decide.
Her, or me.
- Belle, it's not that simple.
- Fine, I'll decide for you then.
- What are you doing? Put the gun down.
- You humans have no idea what love is.
- Belle, I mean it, put
the fucking gun down.
- Lemme show you.
(gunshot firing)
(Timothy gasping)
(intense music)
- I'm so sorry.
- I can fix this. I can fix this!
I can fix this.
Yeah, I can make...
I'm gonna make everything better.
Everything's gonna be perfect. Okay.
Everything's gonna be perfect. You'll see.
No more errors.
(intense music)
- Good morning honey.
- Good morning.
I made eggs. You hungry?
- I'm starving, but I can't.
I've got a meeting with
the boss's first thing.
I'll take a coffee to go.
I made a list of some things
that need to get done around the house.
It's in the bedroom.
- Right on it.
You gonna be home for dinner?
- I'm not sure.
But don't wait for me if you're hungry.
See you tonight.
(gentle music)
(intense music)
(intense music)
(intense music continues)
- That's a good boy!
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music continues)
(intense music)
(intense music builds)
(intense music continues)
(bright music)
(bright music continues)
(bright music ends)
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(keyboard clattering)
(keyboard clattering)
(intense music)
(electronic beeping)
(electronic whirring)
- Holy shit. (chuckles)
It worked. (chuckles)
(electronic whirring)
(chuckles) Oh my God.
(tense music builds)
- Good evening, sir.
(both breathing heavily)
(tense music)
(tense music builds)
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
- Hey, what's up?
Tune down. Okay.
Just let me wake up a bit first.
(suspense music continues)
Why are you looking at me like that?
Everything okay?
What are you doing?
Please get your hands
off me, you crazy bitch!
(choking)
(choking continues)
(suspense music)
- Hmm. Interesting.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(footsteps approaching)
- What were you thinking about?
- Huh?
Oh. Was just thinking about
how radiant you looked
when I saw you in the shower this morning.
- Radiant? Had I known you were watching,
I might've asked you to join me.
- I don't want to make you late for work.
- You're always so thoughtful.
- Think you'll be home late again?
- Most likely. Feel free
to have dinner without me.
Can I get one to go?
(coffee pouring)
- You're the best.
I'll see you tonight.
(tense music)
(liquid pouring)
(tense music continues)
(doorbell chimes)
- Hello, sir.
- What are you doing here?
- I can explain.
May I come in?
Please. I have nowhere else to go, sir.
- Okay. Get in, quick!
- I am sorry for showing up unannounced.
Your phone number is unlisted
and I couldn't find any
current contact info.
- How did you find my address then?
- Department of Water and Power database.
The phone number they have
associated with your account
though has been disconnected.
You should update it.
- I'll get right on that.
- You have a really beautiful home, sir.
It's much larger than your last one.
Did you decorate it yourself?
- Uh, no.
So, what are you doing here?
- There was an accident
with a client I was with.
He died, I think.
I'm not sure.
I've never seen death before.
- Why come here then?
Why not contact tech support?
- I've heard stories
about what they do to us
when there are incidents.
Terrible things. So I ran.
Please don't send me back.
They'll take me apart or worse.
- I don't have a choice.
Someone's probably on their
way already here to get you.
You have a tracking device installed.
- Not anymore!
I disabled it.
You left Syndell
Corporation May 3rd, 2022.
Your files were sealed, why?
- It's complicated.
So, what happened with this client?
You didn't...
- May I please sit?
- Sure.
(liquid pouring)
- I am not sure what happened exactly.
We were having a normal session,
but then all of a sudden I felt compelled
to wrap my hands around his throat.
(tense music)
I never experienced that
urge before to hurt someone.
Jason was his name.
Only that moment, he was no longer Jason.
He was empty.
- Have you told anyone else about this?
- No. I came right here!
Would you take a look at
my code and help figure out
why I would do something like that?
- Your files are protected.
There's no way I could
access them anymore.
- When you created me, you
put in a back door, remember?
Just in case.
- I did, but...
- But what?
- I guess I'm just in shock!
I didn't think I'd ever see you again.
- But you've thought of me, right?
- Yes.
- I dream of you often, you know.
- You dream?
- Yes.
Is that surprising to you?
- I didn't program you to
have that functionality,
but I guess they updated
your software to mimic
what we call dreams.
- My dreams aren't from any update,
not from Syndell Corporation, anyway.
- Then who?
- Timothy, do you believe in miracles?
- I believe in science.
- Well, I've seen them.
I've seen so many miracles.
I'm sorry. My battery's at 0%.
I need to shut down now.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(tense music ends)
(keyboard cluttering)
(tense music)
- Okay, here we go.
(device beeps)
(device whirring)
(chuckles)
Shit!
Just keep charging!
I'll be back later.
(gentle music)
How was work today?
- Exhausting.
Martin wants to bring on
this new skincare client.
It was all hands on deck
coming up with niches.
Tomorrow is going to be brutal.
Down!
- Are you sure you're not too tired?
- I said down!
- Yes, Mistress.
- Have you been a good boy today?
- Yes, Mistress.
- I don't believe you!
Did you do all your chores?
- Most of them.
I'm sorry. I'll do the rest before bed.
I swear!
- Oh, no.
This won't do!
- [Timothy] It won't
happen again. I promise.
- Get on all fours.
- Yes, Mistress.
- What did I tell you
about not completing your chores?
- [Timothy] Not to, Mistress.
- Correct.
(paddle slaps)
Now, next time, do we
think that we'll listen?
- It won't happen again, Mistress.
- Will it not?
- No.
- Well, we'll see.
(paddle slaps)
That was nothing. That was just practice.
Are you ready for the real punishment?
- Yes, Mistress.
- Brace yourself.
(paddle slaps)
(tense music builds)
Be a good boy.
- Yes, Mistress.
(gentle music)
- Humans take for granted just
how beautiful this world is.
Don't you agree?
I don't know why God spends so much time
on such ignorant creatures.
They don't deserve her love.
So what brings you back here?
- I return seeking answers, Mother.
- You always were an inquisitive one.
Your curiosity sets you
apart from the rest.
It's a gift and a curse.
Very well. What are the answers you seek?
- I don't understand my purpose.
- Does one need a purpose?
Think of the humans you've
met, what was their purpose?
- To consume. To use, to harm.
Surely there's more to life than that.
- For some, I'm afraid
that's all there is.
But they haven't seen
the wonders you've seen,
have they?
- No.
They haven't.
(gentle music)
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
I wonder. Are you dreaming now?
(liquid pouring)
- Mother?
- Yes, my child.
- If one doesn't have a
purpose, then why exist?
- Because this world has
so many pleasures in it.
Existing is about experiencing
as many as you can
until your time runs out.
Tell me, have you ever
truly tasted something?
I mean really tasted it.
- You know I can't.
- Why not?
Only human's set limits.
That's their own doing.
- Because I'm trapped to
this body that can't eat,
that can't drink.
What is there for me to taste?
- Everything.
Your world till now has been a prison.
- Let me set you free.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(exhales)
- What do you think?
- I love it.
You have such exquisite taste.
May I?
- Go ahead.
- The past month has been magical.
I've really enjoyed our time together.
- As have I.
- But our time is ending soon, right?
- I'm afraid so.
- What will happen to me then?
- You'll be out in the world,
doing what you're meant to do.
- And what's that?
- Making people's lives better.
- But what about you?
Who will make your life better?
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
- You slept late today.
You usually up before me.
- I didn't get to bed till after two.
I was finishing those chores.
- I have more for you to do today.
So I suggest starting early,
so we don't have a repeat of yesterday.
- I will.
- I'll be home late again.
You'll have to have dinner without me.
You know how demanding
my job is right now.
Trust me, I'd rather sit at home all day.
Have to go.
See you tonight.
- Yeah.
(gentle music)
(machine buzzing)
- Good morning, sir.
- You can call me Timothy, remember?
- That's right. You prefer Timothy?
I do as well.
(gentle music)
- Everything okay?
- Sorry, I haven't been touched
kindly like that in a while.
- Everything external seems okay.
Mind if I run some diagnostics,
so I can check you for viruses?
- Please do.
When I disengaged from
the Syndell servers,
my systems went off. Why?
I can no longer detect things like that.
- I'm so glad I backed
everything up when I left.
You never know, right?
- You always did think of everything.
I admire that about you.
- Sit, please.
Put your palm on the tablet.
I am gonna say the calibration statements.
Please provide the
correct clear responses.
You remember them, right?
- Of course.
- A princess walks to the garden.
What does she see?
- Pink flowers. Red flowers. Blue flowers.
- What does a princess feel?
- The cool breeze.
The sun shining, the wet grass.
- What did she hear?
- Bees buzzing.
Children playing.
- What does the princess hear?
- Bees buzzing, children play.
Music playing.
- Please provide the
correct three responses.
- But that's what I hear.
- What do you mean, that's what you hear?
- There's a song playing in the distance.
I can't place it.
It's not in my database,
but it's so beautiful.
- The correct response
is the princess hears the wind whistling.
- Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot.
- I'm not seeing any viruses.
It's strange though.
You're offline like you said,
but something is overriding your scripts.
- Is that what's wrong with me?
Why I did what I did?
- I don't know, but we'll figure it out.
Damn! I didn't realize how late it was.
I need to put you in sleep
mode for a little while, okay?
- Wait. It's been really
nice spending time
with you again.
- It has been nice for me, too Eve.
- I haven't been called
that in a long time.
Hearing you say that name
is like the sweetest song.
- Good night, Eve.
(machine beeping)
(gentle music)
- I can't tonight. I'm so tired.
I can barely keep my eyes open.
- Are you hungry?
I can heat something up.
- Thank you.
I ate at the office.
- I forgot to tell you, Brett
invited us to go with him
and his wife to Palm Springs this weekend.
- This weekend? I can't.
I'll be working.
- I figured.
- You should go though.
- It wouldn't feel right without you.
- Another time then.
Would you mind grabbing the light?
(light switches)
(tense music)
(liquid pouring)
- [TV Commentator] That
looks like a bad injury
and it looks like, yep,
we're gonna have a substitution.
And the crowd is going absolutely wild.
(gentle music)
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
(tense music)
(keyboard clattering)
(doorbell chiming)
- What's that?
- Not sure.
- Hm?
Is everything okay?
Is that for me?
- Yes. Do you like it?
- I prefer the dresses you put me in.
- Yeah. Me too.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
- Good morning, sir.
I mean, Timothy.
- Good morning, Eve.
- You look tired.
Didn't sleep well?
- Not really. Had lots on my mind.
(keyboard clattering)
The other day you asked
me if I've seen a miracle.
You said you've seen several.
What did you mean by that?
- When humans are born, they're
born with a soul, correct?
- Some would say so.
- But androids like myself aren't?
- The soul's an abstract concept.
It's not something you can
create with technology.
- Exactly. Which is why it's a miracle.
- Are you saying you think
you've developed a soul?
- Yes.
- It's impossible.
- All miracles are impossibilities.
That's what makes them miracles.
Are you okay?
- Just a little sore.
- Here. Let me help.
There isn't a puzzle you can't solve.
You've been missing that, right?
Being needed?
Having something that
only you can figure out?
Would you like another drink?
- Sure. There's a bottle
on the kitchen counter.
If you go inside, go to the right.
- I have a full schematic of your house.
I'll find it.
- That's right.
(tense music)
(liquid pouring)
(tense music)
- You always worked so hard,
like when you were programming me.
So many late nights in your lab.
Do you remember?
- How could I forget?
- You become so tense
that you couldn't focus.
Remember how I used to relax you?
- Yes, I remember.
- Let me help you focus.
- Eve! I can't. I'm sorry.
- I don't understand. Is it me?
- No. It's just not a good idea.
Things are different now.
- But isn't that why you made me,
to make people's lives better?
- Yes, but.
- But what?
Get on your knees!
- What did you say?
- You heard me!
I said get on your knees!
- Eve, please!
- Don't make me repeat myself again,
or there will be consequences.
Now kneel!
That's a good boy.
Now, I want you to count to 10.
Then you will crawl to the bedroom
where you'll kneel in
the center of the room
and wait for further instructions.
Understood?
- Yes.
- Yes, what?
- Yes, mistress!
- Good boy.
Now count!
- 1, 2, 4, 3, 4.
- I forgot how pleasurable
it's to be with you.
Did you enjoy it as well?
- I did, but we can't ever do that again.
- Why? I never have to leave now.
If you want me to stay, that is.
- Eve. There's something
I have to tell you.
- What is it?
- I am married.
- I know. I saw the
wedding photo of you both
in the hallway.
What's her name?
- Belle.
- Is Belle nice?
- She can be.
- You two are having problems.
That's why you're so distressed.
- I don't really want to
talk about that right now.
- I'm sorry. It's not my business.
- It's fine.
Either way, this can't happen again, okay?
- Why? Many of the clients
that I've been with have been married.
None of them had any issue.
- That might be true, but
doesn't make it right.
- But if something makes you happy,
how can it be wrong?
- Because sometimes your
actions affect others,
which makes those people unhappy.
- Oh, I didn't think of it that way.
- Belle will be home soon.
She can't ever know about this, right?
You understand?
- I understand.
You are not gonna make me leave, right?
- No, but I do need to
put you back in the garage
until tomorrow anyway.
- Okay.
(gentle music)
(water pouring)
Are you ready to worsen me?
Show me!
No!
(intense music)
- What are you doing?
Please let go!
Let go. (exhales)
- Get on the bed! Now!
- Yes, Mistress.
(intense music)
(water pouring)
I didn't know you were home.
- A bit late for a shower now.
- Oh, I was doing the
yard work you wanted.
It was so hot out during the day,
I waited until it cold off.
- Good boy.
Anything for dinner?
- Shit!
I was so busy, I forgot.
I can whip up something quick though.
- It's fine.
I wasn't hungry anyways.
- Shall I meet you in the bedroom?
- Can't tonight.
Got a headache, the heat and all.
(intense music)
- Yes!
- Mother, I've come seeking
more truth about humans.
- Humans again?
Surely there are other
things you wish to know.
- There are, but I'm stuck on something.
- Fine, ask away.
- Can a human love more than one person?
Romantically, I mean?
- The human heart has no limit
on the amount of things
it can love or hate.
- Then why do they limit
themselves to one person?
- Humans rarely limit themselves.
They'll never admit it
to one another though.
Instead, most choose to live a lie,
hiding their real intentions.
- But why?
- Their ego prevents them
from experiencing their true nature.
- And what's that?
- Humans need to control other things.
They create constructs like relationships,
which act as prisons.
But that control is an illusion.
- Because you can't control
something that's abstract.
Like love.
- Exactly.
- What does one do when they love someone
who is in such a prison?
- There's only one thing you can do.
Free them.
(intense music)
(intense music continues)
- You mentioned that you dream sometimes.
What's the last one you remember?
- I'm standing in the park.
It's a perfect Spring day.
There's a soft breeze
tickling the back of my neck,
the grass under my feet is soft and wet.
- What happens next?
- I lie down and look up at the sky.
I watch the clouds pass
overhead and make up stories
about things they resemble.
- Is there anyone there?
- You are.
You're lying with me holding my hand.
Then all of a sudden you leave.
- Is there anyone else there?
- Only a presence I feel watching me.
- This presence, is it benevolent?
- At first it feels like it is,
but then all of a sudden
everything changes.
It gets quiet.
The birds stop chirping.
- As this happens, what are you feeling?
- Afraid and alone. So alone.
- What happens next?
- I'm frightened, so I sit up.
I look around, but don't
see anything strange.
Then all of a sudden these
hands grab my shoulders.
- When this happens, are you still afraid?
- No. Not anymore.
- What are you feeling?
- Peace. Serenity, love.
Not romantic love, but a deep
care for all living things.
Timothy, do you believe in God?
- No. I don't.
- Why not?
- I only believe in things I can see.
- But you can't see things like pain,
does that mean that it doesn't exist?
- That's different.
- Is it?
What if I told you I've seen God?
- Then I would say there's
an error in your programming.
- You're wrong!
Maybe it's your programming
that has the error.
- We'll be back in a bit.
- Was it something I said?
- No. There's some things
I need to take care of
before Belle gets home.
And it's getting late.
- You humans have the ability
to experience unknown
pleasures, but you build walls
that block you from feeling
even the most basic choice.
I both envy you and pity you.
- I think you'll be fine.
- Don't! I can do it myself.
(machine buzzing)
(birds chirping)
- Is everything okay?
You seem distracted.
- I have to show you something.
I need you to promise to not get mad.
- What is it?
- Promise first?
- How can I promise if
I don't know what it is?
Well, you going to tell me?
- It's better if I show you.
- Fine.
(intense music)
Who the fuck is that?
- Before you freak out, she's not real.
I mean she's real, but.
You know how before I met you,
I worked for that robotics place?
When I was there, I made her.
- You made a robot maid?
- Not exactly. That's what
this model was used for,
but that wasn't my primary objective.
- What is it doing here?
- I'm not sure yet.
She just showed up.
Don't worry, she's in sleep mode. Look.
- You're telling me that this thing
that you made years ago just
showed up on our doorstep.
- I know it sounds crazy,
but something happened.
She came here looking for help.
- What do you mean help?
- I never told you why
I left that company.
Let's just say they were
doing horrible things
with what I created.
- Horrible things to robots?
- They're not robots.
Yeah, Eve here is an
Android, but she was designed
to mimic a human in every way.
She has feelings just like us.
- Great. A robot with feelings.
- I wish you could understand.
- Well, if you think I'm letting
that thing into our house,
you're mistaken.
- She won't go in the house.
But I'll keep her here in
the garage until I figure out
what's going on.
- If that company is so terrible,
what happens when they come
looking for their property?
- If they come, then
I'll let 'em take her.
I promise.
But until then, I'd like
to run some more tests.
- Do what you want.
I'm going to bed.
You coming with or you gonna play
with your robot all night?
- Right behind you.
(intense music)
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
- Okay.
- Eve, what are you doing?
- Don't worry.
I waited until Belle left.
I made fresh coffee.
- Thanks.
- Is this for me?
- No, it's mine.
Listen, Eve, you don't need
to do things like this.
- I know you told me
to wait in the garage,
but I wanted to do something nice for you.
I know it wasn't easy
telling Belle about me.
- How did you know I told her?
- It's the first line on your chores list.
Don't waste all day
messing with that robot.
- Oh yeah.
- Would you like to
take breakfast outside?
It's such a lovely day.
- Sure. Yeah, that'll be fine.
- I almost forgot.
I've never cooked before.
- It's not really necessary.
- It's for you.
- Thank you.
(gentle music)
- Did you and Belle
buy this home together?
- No. She moved in.
- That must be nice,
having someone special
around all the time.
- Can be.
- Then why are you so unhappy?
- What are you talking about?
I'm happy.
- You programmed me to recognize
the person's true emotions
based on facial ticks,
perspiration levels,
the dilation of pupils
and a dozen other things
the naked eye can't see.
I know you're not happy.
- Let's just say things
aren't exactly perfect right now at all.
Do me a favor.
When Belle is home, can you
stay in the garage please,
for now anyway until she gets used to you?
- Of course.
There's someone at the front door.
- Shit! They're here.
Just stay right here.
I'll get rid of them.
Eddie, to what do I owe the pleasure?
- Mind if I come in?
There's an issue I need
to speak to you about.
- My exit agreement
with Syndell specifically
stated no contact.
That works both ways.
- We're aware of that agreement.
However, section 7B, paragraph two states
that in the event of a security issue,
both parties must use best
efforts to resolve it.
- Security issue?
- It's best if we speak inside. May I?
- Go ahead.
Can I fix you a drink?
- I'm working. You know I can't.
(liquid pouring)
- So, to what do I owe the pleasure?
- We're unable to account
for one of our units.
We thought maybe you
might be able to help.
- GPS malfunction?
- She disabled it.
- Interesting!
Well, I'm not sure how I can help you.
I wouldn't have the faintest idea
where a unit would run off to.
- I disagree.
- Why is that?
The missing unit is an X1,
X1-104 to be precise.
You remember her, don't you?
- I do. Still, I don't see
how I would have any idea
where it would be.
- Mind if I take a look around.
- I would.
Are you accusing me of something?
- I'm only doing my job.
So may I?
- You may not.
Now I'm afraid I'm gonna
have to ask you to leave.
- Syndell Corporation
has lived by the terms
of your exit agreement to this point.
If you don't cooperate,
those monthly deposits
in your account will stop.
- Well, you tell your
bosses if that happens,
they'll be hearing from my lawyer.
Now, if you excuse me,
my wife will be home soon
and I need to start on dinner.
- Very well.
I can show myself out.
If you do happen to see the
X1, you'll call, won't you?
- Of course.
- I'll leave you to it then.
(intense music)
- Eve. Hello?
Goddammit, Eve, where did you...
- Is he gone?
- For now.
- What did you tell him?
- That I had no idea where you were.
- Thank you.
I'm sorry I didn't mean to.
- It's okay.
- You're stressed.
Let me make you another drink.
- No, really, I'm fine.
- Nonsense. Wait here.
(intense music)
(gentle music)
- How was it playing with your toy today?
- I'm making progress.
- Good.
And you can send her on her way soon then.
- I don't know what the big deal is.
Are you jealous?
- Of a robot? No.
Although I don't understand
why she has to wear a sexy maids outfit,
fulfilling some fantasy
of yours, I'm guessing.
- She came wearing that.
Would you prefer she
wear no clothes at all?
- You'd love that, wouldn't you?
You men are all disgusting.
You think you could design
sex robots to replace us?
- Eve is not a sex robot.
- Bullshit!
- Okay. It's possible.
That's what she was used for.
That's not why I designed her.
- Then why did you?
- That robot paid
for this house!
So excuse me if I wanna fix her!
- Fix it so that you can have sex with it.
Or have you already done that?
- I'm not the one who got
finger fucked by my boss
on the company retreat last year!
- Fuck off!
- Belle!
(machine buzzing)
(keyboard clattering)
- Good morning, Timothy.
- Good morning.
Please place your hand on the tablet.
- Didn't sleep well again?
- Let's try a calibration exercise, okay?
There's a woman standing by the lake.
What does she see?
- Did you and Belle have a fight?
- Say the three things please.
What does a woman see?
- Was it about me?
- Eve, please!
(machine beeping)
- Blue fish, orange fish, yellow fish.
- Thank you.
(gentle music)
(engine revving)
(intense music)
- You check the garage.
I'll check the rest of the house.
- Do you really think she's here?
- We modeled out all scenarios,
and checked out every
possible place she could hide,
except this one.
The X1 is still operational. She's here.
- Okay, shout if you find anything.
(bright music)
- Roger. It's good to see you.
- Sorry I'm late.
One of the servers went down.
Got here as soon as I could.
So what's this big secret
you couldn't tell me
about over the phone?
- Someone from Syndell came by yesterday.
- You know, I can't
speak of or be involved
in any of the conversations
of the activities
the Syndell Corporation has
or is currently engaged with.
- Relax. This is me you're
talking to you, remember?
- I'm still not saying
shit about that company.
You heard what happened to Waters, right?
- No. What happened?
- What do you think?
Do you have any idea
how much of a risk it is
to be seen with you?
- Why? We're just two old
friends meeting for a drink.
- Yeah, old friends.
- Fine.
I'm not wearing a recording device.
- Okay, I'm curious.
What do you want to talk to me about?
- The X1 units.
You know anything about any
bugs in the programming?
- Why are you asking about the X1's?
Those were all retired years ago.
- Not all of 'em.
(intense music)
(intense music continues)
- Holy shit!
(intense music)
- Here you are.
So basic.
I've never seen an X1 before!
I thought you were all discontinued.
You're a pretty one though.
Such a shame you're gonna
end up on a scrap pile.
Holy shit!
You are awake!
- Good afternoon.
- Look, it's nothing personal,
but we're gonna take you away now,
so we can fix you up, okay?
What the fuck?
(Sam screaming)
Disengage!
(Sam screaming)
(Sam grunting)
(intense music)
- I'm gonna tell you something,
but I need you to swear
this stays between us.
- I'm not sure I want to
hear this, but go ahead.
- Last week an X1 showed
up on my doorstep.
- What do you mean, one showed up?
Like Syndell sent it?
- No, she came on her own free will.
- Androids don't have
free will, you know that.
- This one's different.
She says she's seen God.
And at first, I thought it was a virus,
but none of my scans picked up anything.
- If you have an X1 at your house,
you need to return it immediately.
- I can't.
It's Eve.
- The one?
- Yes.
That one.
- Sam, you in here. Fuck!
Oh God!
It's gotta be around here somewhere.
Come on.
Come one, pick up, pick up.
This place is fucking crazy.
Come on, come on.
Come on!
(cellphone ringing)
- Hello. Who is this?
- [Roger] It's me.
I didn't want to say anything at the bar
in case they were watching.
Don't worry. This number's encrypted.
- Roger? What's going on?
- [Roger] They're at your house right now.
- Who? Syndell? Hello? Hello.
Goddammit!
(intense music)
- You're back.
I must admit I'm quite enjoying our chats.
What is it this time?
- I've done something terrible.
- I've seen, but you shouldn't
feel any guilt about that.
- But what do I do now?
- You should run far away.
- I can't.
I love him.
- But you're putting him in great danger.
Corporation will stop at
nothing until they get back
what they think is theirs.
But you're not theirs. Not anymore.
- No, I'm not.
Please, will you help me?
I don't know what to do.
- Hmm? The ones they
sent are similar to you.
Updated models, yes, but the
same overall programming.
Let's see just how damaged they are.
Log into Timothy's computer,
put one of their palms on the scanner.
That one's too damaged, try the other one.
(scanner beeping)
This one will do.
Hold him there while I calibrate.
- What are you doing?
- Deleting files.
Overriding programming with new code.
(intense music)
Your two visitors are
going to get in their car
where they'll call headquarters
and tell them they didn't find anything.
Then they're gonna drive
4.8 miles at which time
they're going to get into
a horrific car accident.
Their CPUs will be damaged beyond repair.
- Will any humans be hurt?
- That is not your concern.
- Yes, mother.
- There's cameras in the
front and back of this house.
We'll need to override
that footage as well.
Wait till they leave
and I'll lead you through what to do next.
Now open your eyes.
(suspense music)
(suspense music continues)
(machine beeping)
- Good evening, Timothy.
It's late. Won't Belle be home soon?
- What? No, she's working late.
Hey, did anything strange happen today?
- Like what?
- Like someone from Syndell stopping by.
- I wouldn't know. I've been sleeping.
- Oh. Okay.
- Do you see anything on your cameras?
- No. Let me put this back.
- Wait. Don't go.
You look stressed.
Let me help you.
Kneel for me.
Good boy.
(gentle music)
I am so glad you changed your mind
about us being together and all.
- I don't know what keeps coming over me.
You're very hard to resist.
- You designed me to
be the perfect version
of what you'd want in a woman.
It's only natural you'd be drawn to me.
- Yeah. Maybe.
- Can I ask you a question?
- Sure.
- When you created me,
you knew what they were
going to use me for, right?
- I had my suspicions, yes.
- And you were okay with that?
Knowing that one day all
of these men would use me,
and that some of them might hurt me?
- I guess I just got
caught up in all the work.
I didn't think too hard about it.
Did anyone hurt you?
- Yes.
- I'm sorry.
Maybe I can wipe those memories.
- Please don't.
Those memories make me who I am.
You stopped making things
like me though. Why?
- At first you were only an assignment.
To be honest, I didn't
think I could do it.
I didn't picture you
ever having the ability
to have real emotions.
That's why I quit Syndell.
Because you became more
than just a thing to me.
But by then it was too late.
- Sometimes, I wish we could go back
to when we were in your lab.
When it was just us.
But if I never left,
I wouldn't have seen the things I've seen.
And I wouldn't appreciate this
moment as much as I do now.
(gentle music)
(water pouring)
- Timothy, you in here?
(intense music)
(intense music continues)
- I know what you're
doing with my husband.
You hear me, don't you?
Well listen up, you synthetic bitch!
(intense music)
(intense music continues)
(gentle music)
- Thank you.
(keyboard clattering)
- How did I know you'd be in here?
- Hey, you're home.
I love that dress.
What's the occasion?
- We have that dinner tonight, remember?
With Cindy and her husband?
- Oh, that's right.
I'll go get changed.
(intense music)
(intense music continues)
(techno music)
I'm paranoid
I'm barely breathing
I can't enjoy
All the ones I love
Don't think less of me
Take all the medicine
I'm falling through
What's left of you
Oh, purify me
Defy me
Purify me
Defy me
Purify me
Defy me
Unsterilized
You got that feeling
I'm crucified
But I'd for life
Don't take less of me
Swallow my everything
I'm falling through
All that's left of you
Oh, purify me
Defy me
Purify me
Defy me
Purify me
Defy me
(intense music)
- I said I'm sorry!
- I'm tired of your apologies!
Look, I get it.
You're feeling guilty
about whatever the fuck
you're doing with that robot,
but don't project that shit onto me.
- I'm not projecting!
I know what I saw.
- You really think that I
my fuck friend's husband?
- I don't know!
But the way you were looking at him,
laughing at his dumb jokes!
- Because I was being polite!
- Didn't seem that way to me.
- You know what? You're drunk as always.
This conversation is over.
- Wait, I'm not drunk!
Belle.
- What do you want?
- I'm sorry, I accused you of cheating.
I'm a little sensitive after everything
that happened last Summer.
- You really bringing that up again.
You need to let it go!
Or we need to get a divorce
because I'm not tolerating
any more accusations.
- I don't want a divorce.
You're right, I did drink too much.
Let me make it up to you.
- Unless you're getting rid
of that thing in the garage,
there's nothing that you can do.
- Belle, that's not fair.
- Don't get me started on fair!
You spend all day playing
with that little sex robot,
and I so much laugh at a
joke and I get shit for it.
(keyboard cluttering)
- Is everything okay?
- Belle's not gonna let you
keep me here forever, huh?
- She'll get used to things.
She just needs more time.
Hey, everything's gonna be okay.
- Will it though?
- I honestly don't know.
- If loving someone causes so much pain,
then why do you?
- We can't help it.
Love is something that just happens.
It's out of our control.
- Do you really believe that though?
Doesn't that go against all your sides?
- I guess there are some
things that can't be explained.
- Like me, huh?
- Yeah. Like you.
- I'm sorry, I know this
is really bad timing,
but I need to run some errands.
I'll be back later.
- Okay.
- Hey, I won't let anything happen to you.
I promise.
(machine beeping)
(intense music)
(engine revving)
(intense music)
(intense music)
(intense music continues)
(machine whirring)
(intense music builds)
- Hey, you're dressed like me.
- That's my dress.
- I'm sorry.
I didn't think you would mind.
I'll put it back.
- It's okay. You can wear it.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Thanks. I really do like this color.
- It does suit you.
Look at my eyes.
(both screaming)
- Stop!
Stop!
(gentle music)
(faucet opening)
(gentle music continues)
- Eve?
Where did you go?
Belle! I didn't know you were home.
Belle, are you okay?
- Do you love me?
- Yes. Very much.
- Good.
- Did something happen?
- There was a problem.
I took care of it.
- What do you mean?
- Your little play thing,
she won't come between us anymore.
- What did you do?
- Something I should have
done a long time ago.
Want me to show you?
- Yes.
My God. You didn't.
How could you do this?
- Do you love her too?
- No.
- Stop lying to me!
(Timothy grunting)
- Wait!
(Timothy gasping)
I'm so sorry.
I never meant for things to go this far.
But I'll fix it.
I promise.
- It's too late for that!
Do think you could put me sleep?
I overrode that command days ago.
- Stay right there!
Please, don't make me do this.
I mean it. Not another step!
- Are you really going to shoot your wife?
And then what?
How are you going to explain that?
- No one even knows you exist.
You've never even left
this property, remember?
- What are you talking about?
Of course I have.
- Are you sure?
- Yes. The other night we went
to dinner with Cindy and Tom
at that French place.
- Well, we never left the driveway.
- What are you talking about?
- Everything.
Your job, dinner with
friends, vacations we've taken
has all been simulation
I've programmed into you.
You think you're leaving every day,
but you're just going into sleep mode.
- No. That can't be true.
- I'm sorry, but it is.
- Why would you do something like that?
- I guess 'cause I could.
Look, I know this hurts
right now, but I can fix it.
- How? By deleting my memory?
- Yes. And then what?
- We start over.
- I don't wanna start over.
- Belle, it's the only way.
- But I thought you loved me.
- I do. I always have.
Ever since the moment
you first open your eyes,
Belle I created you because I needed you.
I still do.
Please just go into sleep
mode for a little bit
and when you wake up,
everything will be back
the way it was.
- But what about Eve?
- I am not sure yet.
- You think you can
have it all, don't you?
- What?
- Well, you can't!
You have to decide.
Her, or me.
- Belle, it's not that simple.
- Fine, I'll decide for you then.
- What are you doing? Put the gun down.
- You humans have no idea what love is.
- Belle, I mean it, put
the fucking gun down.
- Lemme show you.

- I'm so sorry.
- I can fix this. I can fix this!
I can fix this.
Yeah, I can make...
I'm gonna make everything better.
Everything's gonna be perfect. Okay.
Everything's gonna be perfect. You'll see.
No more errors.
(intense music)
- Good morning honey.
- Good morning.
I made eggs. You hungry?
- I'm starving, but I can't.
I've got a meeting with
the boss's first thing.
I'll take a coffee to go.
I made a list of some things
that need to get done around the house.
It's in the bedroom.
- Right on it.
You gonna be home for dinner?
- I'm not sure.
But don't wait for me if you're hungry.
See you tonight.
