﻿1
00:01:14,642 --> 00:01:17,779
Okay, okay.

2
00:01:17,879 --> 00:01:19,681
I'm awake.

3
00:01:36,898 --> 00:01:38,465
<i>Good morning, Joe.</i>

4
00:01:38,566 --> 00:01:41,168
<i>You have several items</i>
<i>on your calendar today.</i>

5
00:01:41,268 --> 00:01:42,804
<i>Would you like me</i>
<i>to read them to you?</i>

6
00:01:42,904 --> 00:01:44,072
- No. I'm good.

7
00:01:45,740 --> 00:01:47,542
<i>-You have a request</i>
<i>from Ash's assistant.</i>

8
00:01:47,642 --> 00:01:50,645
<i>Coffee at Old World Roasters.</i>
<i>9:30 a.m.</i>

9
00:01:50,745 --> 00:01:53,514
-Confirm that
and send a note to Maxine.

10
00:01:53,615 --> 00:01:55,683
Ask her to mine the fort
till I get in.

11
00:01:55,783 --> 00:01:57,986
<i>-Reconfiguring.</i>

12
00:01:58,086 --> 00:01:59,854
<i>All set.</i>

13
00:02:13,568 --> 00:02:15,469
Yeah.

14
00:02:27,548 --> 00:02:29,550
-Hm.

15
00:02:39,127 --> 00:02:41,161
-First time in a bookstore?

16
00:02:42,530 --> 00:02:43,698
-Yeah.

17
00:02:43,798 --> 00:02:44,932
No.

18
00:02:48,770 --> 00:02:50,203
Beautiful detail.

19
00:02:51,706 --> 00:02:53,941
I was joking.

20
00:03:04,652 --> 00:03:06,054
-I mean,
personally, I prefer

21
00:03:06,154 --> 00:03:07,555
what's written
inside on the pages,

22
00:03:07,655 --> 00:03:10,457
but, uh, you know,
to each their own.

23
00:03:14,294 --> 00:03:16,030
-Do you like coffee?

24
00:03:16,130 --> 00:03:18,298
-Oh, everyone likes coffee.

25
00:03:19,366 --> 00:03:20,868
-What's your name?

26
00:03:23,171 --> 00:03:25,405
-Uh, Joe.

27
00:03:25,506 --> 00:03:26,373
Yours?

28
00:03:33,548 --> 00:03:35,550
-Coming?

29
00:03:35,650 --> 00:03:36,416
-Now?

30
00:03:36,517 --> 00:03:38,653
-You got a better time?

31
00:03:38,753 --> 00:03:40,021
-No, uh...

32
00:03:41,789 --> 00:03:43,925
Oh, Maxine, are you,
uh, okay if I, uh...

33
00:03:44,025 --> 00:03:45,526
-Yeah.

34
00:03:46,527 --> 00:03:48,563
-It's Ash, by the way.

35
00:03:48,663 --> 00:03:50,430
-Ash.

36
00:03:50,531 --> 00:03:51,866
Okay.

37
00:03:55,903 --> 00:03:58,206
-So you've read that stuff.

38
00:03:58,305 --> 00:04:00,007
-I have. Yeah.

39
00:04:01,109 --> 00:04:02,744
Makes you think.

40
00:04:04,478 --> 00:04:08,315
Without man in his potential
for moral progress,

41
00:04:08,415 --> 00:04:12,720
the whole of reality would be a
mere wilderness thing,

42
00:04:12,820 --> 00:04:16,591
in vain,
and have no final purpose.

43
00:04:16,691 --> 00:04:18,291
-Hm.

44
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:20,360
Final purpose.

45
00:04:22,429 --> 00:04:24,799
I don't know about that.

46
00:04:24,899 --> 00:04:26,534
Maybe we have what we have

47
00:04:26,634 --> 00:04:30,403
and you do your best
with it day by day.

48
00:04:30,505 --> 00:04:33,608
-Yeah. Yeah, sure.

49
00:04:33,708 --> 00:04:36,911
Oh, for me,
it just makes things feel...

50
00:04:37,011 --> 00:04:38,813
richer, somehow.

51
00:04:43,618 --> 00:04:46,453
-Take a picture,
it'll last longer.

52
00:04:46,554 --> 00:04:48,388
-Oh, that's --
that's actually a good idea.

53
00:04:48,488 --> 00:04:50,858
-Hm?
-This the way I'll have proof.

54
00:04:50,958 --> 00:04:52,325
-Proof of what?

55
00:04:52,425 --> 00:04:55,428
-Of a beautiful woman
hanging out with me.

56
00:05:17,652 --> 00:05:19,921
- Okay, MEL. I'm out.

57
00:05:20,021 --> 00:05:21,522
<i>-System is now armed.</i>

58
00:05:21,622 --> 00:05:23,490
<i>You have 30 seconds to depart.</i>

59
00:05:23,591 --> 00:05:25,392
<i>-Have a great day, Joe.</i>

60
00:05:25,492 --> 00:05:26,828
-You, too, pal.

61
00:05:53,888 --> 00:05:55,022
-My brother!

62
00:05:55,122 --> 00:05:56,456
How are you this beautiful day?

63
00:05:56,557 --> 00:05:57,892
-I'm doing well, Oliver.
Yourself?

64
00:05:57,992 --> 00:06:01,195
-Eh, no complaints.
-I'm off to see Ash.

65
00:06:01,295 --> 00:06:02,495
-Ah! Lucky man.

66
00:06:02,597 --> 00:06:04,497
-Yeah.
Don't I know it?

67
00:06:08,569 --> 00:06:10,504
-There you go.

68
00:06:13,641 --> 00:06:15,977
-Oh, I'm supposed to guess who.

69
00:06:16,077 --> 00:06:17,612
-Mm-hmm.
-Okay.

70
00:06:17,712 --> 00:06:20,014
Well, it's either
my beautiful girlfriend

71
00:06:20,114 --> 00:06:23,651
who I'm meeting
on this wonderful morning.

72
00:06:23,751 --> 00:06:24,852
Or...

73
00:06:24,952 --> 00:06:27,288
it's my other,
sexier girlfriend

74
00:06:27,387 --> 00:06:30,024
from the bad part of town.

75
00:06:30,124 --> 00:06:32,392
-Oh, you! Hi.

76
00:06:36,364 --> 00:06:37,999
-Hmm.

77
00:06:42,703 --> 00:06:44,071
-What can I get for you?

78
00:06:44,171 --> 00:06:45,438
-I'll have a cappuccino,
please.

79
00:06:45,539 --> 00:06:47,108
-You got it.

80
00:06:48,276 --> 00:06:49,744
-You have to work after?

81
00:06:50,544 --> 00:06:53,314
-Yeah.
-You know, I would love

82
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:55,549
to know what that is.

83
00:06:55,650 --> 00:06:58,386
-You know what they say
about curiosity.

84
00:07:00,521 --> 00:07:03,190
-No.
-Really?

85
00:07:04,692 --> 00:07:06,127
Oh.

86
00:07:07,295 --> 00:07:10,164
-You adore me.

87
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,936
-I do.

88
00:07:16,436 --> 00:07:19,439
So...

89
00:07:23,210 --> 00:07:25,546
...I want you to know something.

90
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:28,349
-About?
-You.

91
00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:30,084
About you.

92
00:07:42,930 --> 00:07:45,032
- Hey!

93
00:08:05,086 --> 00:08:06,687
I love you, Joe.

94
00:08:12,460 --> 00:08:15,062
-Hey, hey, hey, hey.

95
00:08:15,162 --> 00:08:17,164
Ash...

96
00:08:18,566 --> 00:08:22,336
Ash, you surprised me.
That's all.

97
00:08:24,238 --> 00:08:25,806
-I need to tell you something.

98
00:08:25,906 --> 00:08:27,308
-Anything.

99
00:08:29,143 --> 00:08:30,211
I'm not from here.

100
00:08:30,311 --> 00:08:32,380
-I know.
You're from Bridgewater.

101
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,118
-No. I mean,
I'm not from...here.

102
00:08:47,361 --> 00:08:48,796
No.

103
00:08:53,267 --> 00:08:54,902
-Do you two know each other?

104
00:08:55,836 --> 00:08:57,905
- Don't.

105
00:09:02,810 --> 00:09:06,347
No, no, no.

106
00:10:12,547 --> 00:10:14,648
-MEL, shut everything down.

107
00:10:14,748 --> 00:10:16,083
<i>-This is your second week</i>

108

Well, then fuck off.

Uh...got the good stuff.

124

Let me up?

125

127
00:12:09,598 --> 00:12:11,498

128
00:12:12,701 --> 00:12:14,101
-What?

129
00:12:18,405 --> 00:12:21,576
-Taste. I can't -- I can't.

131

Where do you keep the towels?

Joe?

You take mine.

140
00:13:15,095 --> 00:13:18,332

Have you checked
any of those?

00:20:26,027 --> 00:20:27,862
shock, maybe.

169
00:20:29,831 --> 00:20:31,866
-Look, go home.

170
00:20:31,966 --> 00:20:34,802
Get some rest, and then
you check the message --

171
00:20:34,902 --> 00:20:36,204
messages.

172
00:20:36,303 --> 00:20:38,506
You might get some closure.

173
00:20:38,606 --> 00:20:40,007
-Would you mind
if I checked here, actually?

174
00:20:40,108 --> 00:20:41,976
I'm not sure
I want to go back yet.

175
00:20:43,878 --> 00:20:45,546
-Mi casa!

176
00:20:46,413 --> 00:20:47,915
It's all yours.

177
00:21:02,730 --> 00:21:04,431
<i>-Hey, Joe.</i>

181
00:21:16,144 --> 00:21:18,813
<i>For that...</i>

183

<i>I need your help.</i>
<i>It's important.</i>

<i>It might not make sense</i>

<i>Your bookstore --</i>

<i>Will you help?</i>

189
00:21:48,509 --> 00:21:50,244
-Yes. Of course.

190
00:21:53,915 --> 00:21:57,350
<i>-Thank you.</i>
<i>Details are downloading.</i>

191
00:21:57,450 --> 00:22:00,054
<i>I planned for this.</i>

192

<i>Not -- Not for...everything</i>
<i>that's happened,</i>

193

<i>but for this.</i>

194
00:22:08,296 --> 00:22:10,231
<i>Bring the package back</i>

<i>I love you.</i>

197
00:22:31,384 --> 00:22:33,287
-We have further contact.

198
00:22:35,388 --> 00:22:37,024
-We should leave it alone.

199
00:22:41,596 --> 00:22:45,132
Track him.
Let me know what he does next.

200
00:22:45,233 --> 00:22:46,601
-Copy.

201
00:22:57,410 --> 00:22:58,579
-Hey, boss,
are you doing okay?

202
00:22:58,679 --> 00:23:00,248
-Was something
delivered for me?

203
00:23:00,348 --> 00:23:02,216
-Uh, right. Yeah.

204
00:23:04,552 --> 00:23:06,621
This one's a prize.
-Thank you.

205

Yeah, I'll let you know.

-He has...
<i>-Something.</i>

00:23:50,131 --> 00:23:52,300
-Take him down.

209
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,869
Retrieve whatever that is.

210
00:23:54,969 --> 00:23:56,203
Backup incoming.

-What is happening?

215
00:25:31,098 --> 00:25:32,533
MEL, someone's trying

216
00:25:32,633 --> 00:25:33,968
<i>-Should I call</i>
<i>the authorities?</i>

<i>-Contacting authorities now.</i>

219

<i>I'm sorry, Joe.</i>
<i>I appear to be offline.</i>

00:26:08,903 --> 00:26:12,239
- Oh. Uh, uh, uh...

222
00:26:22,517 --> 00:26:24,819
Oh, fuck.

223
00:27:08,028 --> 00:27:11,265
-Something's wrong.
Help me up.

224
00:27:11,365 --> 00:27:12,500
-Who are you talking to?

225
00:27:12,601 --> 00:27:13,868
-MEL.

226
00:27:17,438 --> 00:27:19,206
-Fuck off!

227
00:27:50,704 --> 00:27:52,873
-I don't understand.

228
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,882
-You and me both, pal.

229
00:28:18,132 --> 00:28:19,601
<i>-Joe.</i>

230
00:28:19,700 --> 00:28:22,903

231
00:28:23,003 --> 00:28:25,372
<i>-I'm sorry,</i>
<i>I don't understand.</i>

232
00:28:25,472 --> 00:28:27,474
<i>Could you rephrase?</i>

233
00:28:27,576 --> 00:28:28,943
<i>-Joe?</i>

234
00:28:33,414 --> 00:28:35,049
<i>Hey.</i>

235
00:28:39,688 --> 00:28:41,155
-MEL, is this real?

236
00:28:41,255 --> 00:28:44,225
<i>-I'm sorry, could you</i>
<i>rephrase the question?</i>

237
00:28:49,664 --> 00:28:51,332
-Jesus!

238
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:54,868
<i>-I'll explain.</i>

239
00:29:02,910 --> 00:29:04,546
-Where are you?

240
00:29:04,646 --> 00:29:06,146
<i>-I didn't mean</i>
<i>to be mysterious.</i>

241
00:29:06,247 --> 00:29:08,015
<i>It just took me a while</i>
<i>to hack a connection.</i>

242
00:29:08,115 --> 00:29:10,685
<i>And time works</i>
<i>a bit differently here.</i>

243
00:29:10,784 --> 00:29:13,187
-"Here"?
<i>-Where I'm from.</i>

244
00:29:13,287 --> 00:29:15,724
<i>There's, uh...</i>

245
00:29:15,823 --> 00:29:17,391
<i>The technology,</i>

246
00:29:17,491 --> 00:29:20,027
<i>it's almost impossible</i>
<i>to get access, but I did.</i>

247
00:29:20,127 --> 00:29:21,762
-No, no, no, no, no, no.
I saw you die.

248
00:29:21,862 --> 00:29:23,297
I saw someone kill you.
<i>-I know.</i>

249
00:29:23,397 --> 00:29:26,333
<i>I know, I know, I'm sorry.</i>
<i>I'm so sorry.</i>

250
00:29:27,968 --> 00:29:30,271
<i>Oh, there's so much</i>
<i>I have to tell you.</i>

251
00:29:30,371 --> 00:29:34,141
<i>So much -- So much</i>
<i>I want to say.</i>

252
00:29:35,242 --> 00:29:38,713
<i>I just need to explain</i>
<i>a few things first.</i>

253
00:29:38,812 --> 00:29:40,314
<i>Is that okay?</i>

254
00:29:46,287 --> 00:29:47,589
<i>Okay.</i>

255
00:29:51,425 --> 00:29:55,730
<i>Years ago, technology</i>
<i>made several rapid jumps --</i>

256
00:29:55,829 --> 00:29:57,831
<i>machine learning,</i>
<i>behavioral modeling,</i>

257
00:29:57,931 --> 00:30:01,368
<i>artificial intelligence,</i>
<i>ultra-realistic rendering.</i>

258
00:30:01,468 --> 00:30:05,072
<i>A lot of it was driven</i>
<i>by the entertainment industry.</i>

259
00:30:05,172 --> 00:30:08,710
<i>Gaming, streaming,</i>
<i>deep learning,</i>

260
00:30:08,809 --> 00:30:11,111
<i>and AI brought others --</i>

261
00:30:11,211 --> 00:30:14,214
<i>intelligence agencies,</i>
<i>special interests.</i>

262
00:30:14,315 --> 00:30:16,950
<i>Those interests saw</i>
<i>where the tech could go,</i>

263
00:30:17,051 --> 00:30:21,756
<i>recruited hungry young minds</i>
<i>like Anthony Hunter,</i>

264
00:30:21,855 --> 00:30:23,457
<i>a brilliant software engineer.</i>

265
00:30:23,558 --> 00:30:25,760
<i>He worked for Sentech,</i>
<i>one of the big firms.</i>

266
00:30:25,859 --> 00:30:27,494
<i>His day job was</i>
<i>data acquisition,</i>

267
00:30:27,595 --> 00:30:29,664
<i>gathering as much information</i>
<i>from the real world</i>

268
00:30:29,764 --> 00:30:31,932
<i>as possible,</i>
<i>feeding the machine,</i>

269
00:30:32,032 --> 00:30:36,437
<i>building models</i>
<i>to analyze process control.</i>

270
00:30:36,538 --> 00:30:39,406
<i>On the side, he was working</i>
<i>on his own project.</i>

271
00:30:40,908 --> 00:30:42,242
<i>From what we can piece</i>
<i>together,</i>

272
00:30:42,343 --> 00:30:43,611
<i>Hunter was trying</i>
<i>to incorporate</i>

273
00:30:43,712 --> 00:30:45,079
<i>all of this data into a true</i>

274
00:30:45,179 --> 00:30:48,182
<i>virtualized reality,</i>
<i>something alive,</i>

275
00:30:48,282 --> 00:30:51,985
<i>fed by a constant stream</i>
<i>of information.</i>

276
00:30:52,086 --> 00:30:55,155
<i>It was too big for him</i>
<i>to put together on his own.</i>

277
00:30:55,255 --> 00:30:58,359
<i>He couldn't get to</i>
<i>a stable build until...</i>

278
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,976
<i>...he met someone,</i>
<i>another coder,</i>

279
00:31:16,076 --> 00:31:18,245
<i>apparently with</i>
<i>similar interests.</i>

280
00:31:18,345 --> 00:31:20,247
<i>A new mentor</i>

281
00:31:20,347 --> 00:31:22,717
<i>who helped the final pieces</i>
<i>fall into place.</i>

282
00:32:14,769 --> 00:32:17,505
<i>The first DU.</i>

283
00:32:20,374 --> 00:32:22,075
-DU?

284
00:32:22,176 --> 00:32:24,244
<i>-Digital Universe.</i>

285
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,449
<i>He made a world,</i>
<i>a fully realized population.</i>

286
00:32:28,550 --> 00:32:30,350
<i>The corporations had</i>
<i>been trying for years</i>

287
00:32:30,451 --> 00:32:32,587
<i>to harness machine learning</i>
<i>to their advantage.</i>

288
00:32:32,687 --> 00:32:34,021
<i>What was missing?</i>

289
00:32:34,121 --> 00:32:35,355
<i>People -- billions of them,</i>

290
00:32:35,456 --> 00:32:38,560
<i>with their own emotions,</i>
<i>desires, agency.</i>

291
00:32:40,294 --> 00:32:44,833
<i>Hunter began to use</i>
<i>the system for advanced R&D.</i>

292
00:32:44,933 --> 00:32:49,470
<i>He realized he could test</i>
<i>anything on his pet universe.</i>

293
00:32:49,571 --> 00:32:52,507
<i>High-risk surgical implants.</i>
<i>Advanced weaponry.</i>

294
00:32:52,607 --> 00:32:55,610
<i>Mass testing of cutting-edge</i>
<i>pharmaceuticals.</i>

295
00:32:56,243 --> 00:32:58,913
<i>Within an impossibly short</i>
<i>amount of time,</i>

296
00:32:59,012 --> 00:33:01,315
<i>he became Sentech's CEO.</i>

297
00:33:01,415 --> 00:33:03,585
<i>Then things moved even faster.</i>

298
00:33:05,152 --> 00:33:06,521
<i>What better testbed?</i>

299
00:33:06,621 --> 00:33:08,322
<i>What better way</i>
<i>to prototype anything?</i>

300
00:33:08,422 --> 00:33:09,924
<i>Human beings may be cheap,</i>

301
00:33:10,023 --> 00:33:12,159
<i>but simulated ones were</i>
<i>even cheaper.</i>

302
00:33:12,259 --> 00:33:15,697
<i>He had a world of his own</i>
<i>to play with, no consequences.</i>

303
00:33:17,130 --> 00:33:19,734
<i>He tried version...</i>

304
00:33:19,834 --> 00:33:23,003
<i>after version...</i>

305
00:33:23,103 --> 00:33:24,906
<i>after version.</i>

306
00:33:30,879 --> 00:33:32,312
Hunter kept going.

307
00:33:32,412 --> 00:33:35,550
<i>He spent almost a decade</i>
<i>testing,</i>

308
00:33:35,650 --> 00:33:39,554
<i>fine-tuning, restarting.</i>

309
00:33:41,923 --> 00:33:44,224
-I'm in one of those versions,
aren't I?

310
00:33:48,997 --> 00:33:50,397
How many?

311
00:33:50,497 --> 00:33:53,433
Before this,
how many versions?

312
00:33:53,535 --> 00:33:55,269
<i>-497.</i>

313
00:33:56,804 --> 00:33:58,405
<i>As far as we can tell.</i>

314
00:33:59,874 --> 00:34:02,442
-So, what does that make me?

315
00:34:02,544 --> 00:34:03,745
<i>-A man.</i>

316
00:34:05,513 --> 00:34:06,848
<i>One I love.</i>

317
00:34:08,716 --> 00:34:10,450
-A virtual man.

318
00:34:15,857 --> 00:34:17,625
This is a fucking nightmare.

319
00:34:18,927 --> 00:34:21,328
Where are you, exactly?

320
00:34:24,064 --> 00:34:25,867
<i>-Home.</i>

321
00:34:25,967 --> 00:34:28,570
I just need to show you
a bit more.

322
00:34:30,203 --> 00:34:33,942
<i>It got out, what Hunter</i>
<i>and Sentech were doing.</i>

323
00:34:34,042 --> 00:34:37,477
<i>Even if you didn't believe that</i>
<i>the people in the DU were real,</i>

324
00:34:37,579 --> 00:34:40,048
<i>the ethical implications</i>
<i>were too much to ignore,</i>

325
00:34:40,147 --> 00:34:42,382
<i>and the power that came</i>
<i>with being able to test</i>

326
00:34:42,482 --> 00:34:47,187
<i>any conceivable possibility</i>
<i>on unwitting populations?</i>

327
00:34:47,287 --> 00:34:50,257
-Us.
<i>-The tech was outlawed.</i>

328
00:34:50,357 --> 00:34:52,760
<i>The DU system was supposed</i>
<i>to be spun down for good.</i>

329
00:34:52,860 --> 00:34:54,494
It wasn't.
He just hid it,

330
00:34:54,596 --> 00:34:57,097
both physically
and on the network.

331
00:34:57,197 --> 00:35:00,001
But I found a way in.

332
00:35:00,100 --> 00:35:01,703
I found...

333
00:35:02,937 --> 00:35:03,972
...you.

334
00:35:17,184 --> 00:35:19,921
-Wait. That --
That's the man who shot you.

335
00:35:20,021 --> 00:35:21,089
<i>-Hunter.</i>

336
00:35:21,221 --> 00:35:22,624
-How come he didn't disappear,

337
00:35:22,724 --> 00:35:24,826
like when you...

338
00:35:24,926 --> 00:35:27,795
<i>-When I died?</i>
-Yeah.

339
00:35:29,496 --> 00:35:31,666
<i>-Okay. You needed admin-level</i>
<i>access for that.</i>

340
00:35:31,766 --> 00:35:33,635
<i>The control teams</i>
<i>don't even like doing it.</i>

341
00:35:33,735 --> 00:35:36,336
<i>It throws major checksum</i>
<i>errors, risks corruption.</i>

342
00:35:36,436 --> 00:35:39,206
<i>It messes with the analytics.</i>

343
00:35:39,306 --> 00:35:41,274
<i>The more you break</i>
<i>the physical laws</i>

344
00:35:41,375 --> 00:35:42,610
<i>that are coded in...</i>

345
00:35:42,710 --> 00:35:44,646
-The less the system works
as a tool.

346
00:35:44,746 --> 00:35:45,780
<i>-Exactly.</i>

347
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,247
<i>So, the goon that attacked you,</i>

348
00:35:47,347 --> 00:35:49,449
<i>when you killed him,</i>
<i>it hurt, bad.</i>

349
00:35:49,550 --> 00:35:51,986
<i>It needs to be real</i>
<i>for the system to function.</i>

350
00:35:52,086 --> 00:35:54,889
<i>No cheating,</i>
<i>or the data devalues.</i>

351
00:35:54,989 --> 00:35:57,091
-So, what is this?

352
00:35:57,190 --> 00:36:01,062
<i>-Now? Just a book, but it</i>
<i>carried another layer of data.</i>

353
00:36:01,161 --> 00:36:03,831
<i>Data we need to get out, soon.</i>

354
00:36:06,134 --> 00:36:07,735
-Wait.

355
00:36:08,503 --> 00:36:10,303
Who's that next to Hunter?

356
00:36:10,404 --> 00:36:13,107
<i>-That is</i>
<i>the enigmatic Oliver Cox.</i>

357
00:36:13,206 --> 00:36:14,976
<i>After he saw</i>
<i>what Hunter was doing,</i>

358
00:36:15,076 --> 00:36:17,377
<i>he disappeared</i>
<i>from public view.</i>

359
00:36:17,477 --> 00:36:20,180
<i>He hasn't been seen in years.</i>

360
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:21,716
-Holy shit.

361
00:36:23,084 --> 00:36:25,653
<i>-What?</i>
-I know him.

362
00:36:25,753 --> 00:36:27,487
<i>-What do you mean,</i>
<i>you know him?</i>

363
00:36:27,588 --> 00:36:30,091
-You know him! The --
The newsstand near my building.

364
00:36:32,894 --> 00:36:37,165
<i>-He must be masking himself</i>
<i>from other users of the system.</i>

365
00:36:37,264 --> 00:36:38,866
<i>Like me.</i>

366
00:36:41,102 --> 00:36:42,603
<i>This newsstand,</i>

367
00:36:42,704 --> 00:36:45,873
<i>it might be a kind of</i>
<i>hidden observation post.</i>

368
00:36:48,408 --> 00:36:51,145
<i>Joe, he could help.</i>
-How?

369
00:36:51,244 --> 00:36:53,480
<i>-If there's anyone</i>
<i>who can get me back in,</i>

370
00:36:53,581 --> 00:36:55,850
<i>help get that data out,</i>
<i>it's him.</i>

371
00:36:55,950 --> 00:36:57,284
<i>I need to meet him.</i>

372
00:36:57,384 --> 00:36:58,753
-He -- He knows you're dead.

373
00:36:58,853 --> 00:37:00,822
<i>-I don't think</i>
<i>that'll faze him.</i>

374
00:37:00,922 --> 00:37:04,058
-Wait. How did --
How did you stop me from...

375
00:37:07,962 --> 00:37:09,797
<i>-I was watching you.</i>

376
00:37:12,867 --> 00:37:14,267
<i>I tried everything, Joe.</i>

377
00:37:14,367 --> 00:37:16,037
<i>The best I could do</i>
<i>was send messages,</i>

378
00:37:16,137 --> 00:37:17,572
<i>hack into some displays.</i>

379
00:37:17,672 --> 00:37:20,141
<i>Otherwise, I was locked out.</i>

380
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:22,076
<i>It wasn't me.</i>

381
00:37:22,176 --> 00:37:23,678
-Then who?

382
00:37:41,394 --> 00:37:43,731
-Erica, What can I do for you?

383
00:37:45,233 --> 00:37:46,734
-We need to spin it down.

384
00:37:48,236 --> 00:37:51,239
-"We." Huh.

385
00:37:51,338 --> 00:37:54,842
Okay. Sit.

386
00:38:04,185 --> 00:38:05,553
-We're having masking issues.

387
00:38:05,653 --> 00:38:07,354
Security holes.
I can't patch in time.

388
00:38:07,454 --> 00:38:09,924
- Well, I patched up one of them
for you.

389
00:38:10,024 --> 00:38:13,426
-You shot a woman in plain view
at a coffee shop.

390
00:38:13,528 --> 00:38:16,998
-Yeah.
Stress relief.

391
00:38:17,765 --> 00:38:21,202
Besides, it's your job to make
sure no one else gets in.

392
00:38:21,301 --> 00:38:23,403
Right? That's -- That's you?
That's your job?

393
00:38:23,504 --> 00:38:25,305
-The only way to do that
is to isolate it completely

394
00:38:25,405 --> 00:38:27,340
from global networks.
-Well, if I do that,

395
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:28,810
then I can't feed it,

396
00:38:28,910 --> 00:38:31,245
and it doesn't work
as effectively, so...

397
00:38:31,344 --> 00:38:32,345
-It can function
as a simulator.

398
00:38:32,445 --> 00:38:34,682
We have excellent analytics.

399
00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:44,792
-It doesn't work
as effectively.

400
00:38:49,130 --> 00:38:51,732
-We should have spun it
down with the court order.

401
00:38:53,734 --> 00:38:56,537
We're risking exposure, Anthony.

402
00:38:56,637 --> 00:38:58,272
We had another incursion.

403
00:38:58,371 --> 00:39:00,041
A huge amount of data
just moved around.

404
00:39:00,141 --> 00:39:01,976
I'm tracking it, but --
-Okay.

405
00:39:05,478 --> 00:39:07,748
The world is shit.

406
00:39:08,983 --> 00:39:09,951
You get that, right?

407
00:39:10,051 --> 00:39:13,254
Like...what are we?

408
00:39:13,353 --> 00:39:15,923
Collectively,
billions of idiots,

409
00:39:16,023 --> 00:39:18,960
decimating the only home
that we have.

410
00:39:19,927 --> 00:39:22,362
But we have a way.

411
00:39:22,462 --> 00:39:24,065
We have way

412
00:39:24,165 --> 00:39:26,901
to run any conceivable test

413
00:39:27,001 --> 00:39:31,105
to find out what happens
before it happens,

414
00:39:31,205 --> 00:39:33,741
before we have to hand over
the keys to the environment

415
00:39:33,841 --> 00:39:35,610
to the fossil fuel
conglomerates,

416
00:39:35,710 --> 00:39:38,246
before we go down
the same path as version 16

417
00:39:38,346 --> 00:39:39,513
and elect an autocratic,

418
00:39:39,614 --> 00:39:41,148
malignant narcissist
to high office.

419
00:39:41,249 --> 00:39:42,550
Remember that fucking mess?

420
00:39:42,650 --> 00:39:43,718
Him and his mob
almost cost us

421
00:39:43,818 --> 00:39:45,219
half the globe in seven years.

422
00:39:45,319 --> 00:39:50,024
Before millions
of more people die

423
00:39:50,124 --> 00:39:52,159
in senseless conflict

424
00:39:52,260 --> 00:39:55,129
based on primitive ideologies

425
00:39:55,229 --> 00:39:58,633
born out of ancient
superstitions,

426
00:39:58,733 --> 00:40:03,037
mass manipulation,
targeted disinformation.

427
00:40:03,137 --> 00:40:05,907
The world is shit!

428
00:40:10,678 --> 00:40:12,647
But I'm going to fix it.

429
00:40:14,615 --> 00:40:17,184
I am fixing it.

430
00:40:21,454 --> 00:40:23,724
-You're killing people
to do it.

431
00:40:25,593 --> 00:40:27,762
Billions of people.

432
00:40:29,630 --> 00:40:33,100
-Algorithmically generated
population units.

433
00:40:34,835 --> 00:40:37,571
-The rest of the world
doesn't see it like that.

434
00:40:37,672 --> 00:40:38,873
Nor do the courts.

435
00:40:38,973 --> 00:40:41,842
-The courts can go
fuck themselves!

436
00:40:41,943 --> 00:40:45,980
They will legislate us
into a burning cinder.

437
00:40:49,350 --> 00:40:51,953
Keep it hidden.
Keep it connected.

438
00:40:52,053 --> 00:40:53,821
Figure it out.

439
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,428
Erica.

440
00:41:05,266 --> 00:41:06,934
My globe.

441
00:41:14,976 --> 00:41:17,078
Um...

442
00:41:17,178 --> 00:41:19,080
find that girl I shot...

443
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,116
...here in the real world.

444
00:41:46,874 --> 00:41:49,944
<i>-What can I help you with,</i>
<i>dead girl?</i>

445
00:41:50,044 --> 00:41:52,313
-It is you.
<i>-And you found me,</i>

446
00:41:52,413 --> 00:41:54,749
<i>through my firewalls, no less.</i>

447
00:41:55,783 --> 00:41:57,385
<i>Hey, talking is risky,</i>

448
00:41:57,485 --> 00:42:01,422
<i>so I can give you</i>
<i>another 30 seconds.</i>

449
00:42:02,256 --> 00:42:04,725
-I need to know where it is.
Can you help me find it?

450
00:42:04,825 --> 00:42:06,293
<i>-Find what?</i>
-The DU.

451
00:42:06,394 --> 00:42:07,762
The physical system location.

452
00:42:07,862 --> 00:42:10,064
And I need a valid network key
to get back in.

453
00:42:10,164 --> 00:42:12,800
<i>-It's distributed. It could be</i>
<i>anywhere. Everywhere.</i>

454
00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:14,468
<i>Oh, and are you out</i>
<i>of your freaking mind?</i>

455
00:42:14,568 --> 00:42:15,436
<i>What makes you think</i>
<i>I can help?</i>

456
00:42:15,536 --> 00:42:17,138
<i>Or would?</i>

457
00:42:17,238 --> 00:42:19,673
-When I first started, I was
trying to get it shut down.

458
00:42:19,774 --> 00:42:22,343
Now things are --
<i>-Complicated. Yes.</i>

459
00:42:22,443 --> 00:42:24,345
<i>Joe.</i>

460
00:42:24,445 --> 00:42:26,113
-Seems like
you're using it yourself.

461
00:42:26,213 --> 00:42:27,281
What are you doing in there?

462
00:42:27,381 --> 00:42:29,150
<i>-We'll be in touch.</i>

463
00:43:04,585 --> 00:43:07,221
-Missed her.
Can't be far.

464
00:43:08,923 --> 00:43:11,892
Scan the place.
Turn it upside down.

465
00:43:16,030 --> 00:43:18,966
<i>Yeah. Requesting your support.</i>

466
00:44:26,367 --> 00:44:27,801
-You armed?

467
00:44:27,902 --> 00:44:30,304
<i>-Nothing smart</i>
<i>or network-connected.</i>

468
00:44:36,810 --> 00:44:39,747
<i>Inert non-metallic</i>
<i>nano-graphene blades.</i>

469
00:44:43,784 --> 00:44:46,120
-That isn't standard issue.

470
00:44:46,220 --> 00:44:49,356
-It's personal.
-Spring-loaded?

471
00:44:49,456 --> 00:44:51,358
Well, it can't be legal.

472
00:44:52,393 --> 00:44:54,028
Coffee.

473
00:45:06,508 --> 00:45:08,742
There you are.

474
00:45:08,842 --> 00:45:10,744
-You like things analog.
-Mm.

475
00:45:10,844 --> 00:45:13,180
Well, you're welcome to borrow
something if you like.

476
00:45:14,148 --> 00:45:15,449
Mmm.

477
00:45:15,550 --> 00:45:16,984
Ahh!

478
00:45:17,084 --> 00:45:19,621
I long ago learned
that I retain things better

479
00:45:19,720 --> 00:45:21,755
when I read from the hard copy,

480
00:45:21,855 --> 00:45:24,024
absorb works of art
from the original source.

481
00:45:24,124 --> 00:45:27,061
It's just --
it's less ephemeral.

482
00:45:27,161 --> 00:45:29,564
Digital, it can be gone
like that.

483
00:45:29,664 --> 00:45:31,332
-Like you.

484
00:45:31,432 --> 00:45:32,667
-What do you know about me?

485
00:45:32,766 --> 00:45:33,767
-I know that you worked
with Hunter.

486
00:45:33,867 --> 00:45:35,302
Some kind of partnership.

487
00:45:35,402 --> 00:45:36,538
You disappeared.

488
00:45:36,638 --> 00:45:39,406
-Mm, it's more like
a co-dependency

489
00:45:39,507 --> 00:45:43,410
and not the whole story,
but probably enough for now.

490
00:45:43,511 --> 00:45:45,279
-He's after me.

491
00:45:45,379 --> 00:45:47,481
-Did, uh, getting yourself
killed give it away, did it?

492
00:45:47,582 --> 00:45:49,350
-Out here, I mean.

493
00:45:49,984 --> 00:45:52,186
-What were you doing in
the system in the first place?

494
00:45:52,286 --> 00:45:55,557
-I'm freelance.
Intel for a while before that.

495
00:45:55,657 --> 00:45:56,857
I'm good at tracing data,

496
00:45:56,957 --> 00:45:58,325
making connections.
-I've seen.

497
00:45:58,425 --> 00:46:00,662
You don't just hack
into proprietary systems

498
00:46:00,761 --> 00:46:03,565
like this by googling.

499
00:46:03,665 --> 00:46:05,600
You're impressive,
Miss Solway.

500
00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:07,434
-I was recruited out
of college,

501
00:46:07,535 --> 00:46:09,571
trained 10 years as an analyst.

502
00:46:09,671 --> 00:46:10,904
I went out on my own
with a small team

503
00:46:11,005 --> 00:46:13,340
when all of this
started with Sentech.

504
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,377
We were convinced Hunter wasn't
following the court orders.

505
00:46:16,477 --> 00:46:19,648
Sentech was growing too fast,
becoming too powerful,

506
00:46:19,748 --> 00:46:21,716
as were his corporate pals,

507
00:46:21,815 --> 00:46:24,719
a few oligarchs
he did business with.

508
00:46:24,818 --> 00:46:26,721
Some fringe nations
with money to burn.

509
00:46:26,820 --> 00:46:29,089
-Using data
from DU iterations.

510
00:46:29,189 --> 00:46:31,425
-We were just trying
to confirm what we already knew,

511
00:46:31,526 --> 00:46:33,027
really, deal with it.

512
00:46:33,127 --> 00:46:37,431
-And you just
stuck around after hours?

513
00:46:37,532 --> 00:46:39,400
-I saw what I saw.

514
00:46:39,500 --> 00:46:41,101
What it was.

515
00:46:41,201 --> 00:46:43,605
It wouldn't have been right
to shut it down

516
00:46:43,705 --> 00:46:45,573
or let Hunter restart it.

517
00:46:45,674 --> 00:46:47,174
These...

518
00:46:50,311 --> 00:46:51,912
These are people.

519
00:46:52,012 --> 00:46:54,348
-Just going about their lives.

520
00:46:57,151 --> 00:46:59,654
-So, what are you doing
in there,

521
00:46:59,754 --> 00:47:01,922
selling newspapers and candy?

522
00:47:02,022 --> 00:47:03,857
-I knew Hunter
would keep it running.

523
00:47:03,957 --> 00:47:05,826
There's just too many benefits.

524
00:47:05,926 --> 00:47:08,462
It's like a-a digital
crystal ball.

525
00:47:08,563 --> 00:47:12,199
There is so much the DU
can -- can show us,

526
00:47:12,299 --> 00:47:13,535
can teach us,

527
00:47:13,635 --> 00:47:15,969
without outside interference.

528
00:47:16,070 --> 00:47:17,706
-That's not an answer.

529
00:47:17,806 --> 00:47:19,708
-It's the one I can give.

530
00:47:22,610 --> 00:47:23,977
-It was you, wasn't it?

531
00:47:24,078 --> 00:47:27,381
Saving Joe,
changing things to help him?

532
00:47:30,618 --> 00:47:32,587
-I'll take that as a yes.

533
00:47:34,888 --> 00:47:36,691
Why?

534
00:47:37,358 --> 00:47:40,528
-Maybe there's more to him
than meets the eye.

535
00:47:40,628 --> 00:47:42,697
I think you know that already.

536
00:47:44,733 --> 00:47:46,634
So, will you help me?

537
00:47:46,735 --> 00:47:48,035
I need to get Hunter
off my ass,

538
00:47:48,135 --> 00:47:50,805
find somewhere safe,
see Joe.

539
00:47:50,904 --> 00:47:53,207
-Go back in?
-Yes.

540
00:47:54,441 --> 00:47:55,777
Please.

541
00:48:00,582 --> 00:48:02,349
-You really love him.

542
00:48:08,656 --> 00:48:14,094
-I get that he's not...real.

543
00:48:15,229 --> 00:48:20,134
-But we are way past real
as an easy definition.

544
00:48:28,142 --> 00:48:30,411
-Are you making fun of me?
-No, no, no, I'm not.

545
00:48:30,512 --> 00:48:32,212
I-I'm saying there's
nothing strange

546
00:48:32,312 --> 00:48:33,782
about the way you're feeling.

547
00:48:33,882 --> 00:48:35,784
That was the whole point
of the design.

548
00:48:35,884 --> 00:48:37,552
-So, you'll help me?

549
00:48:41,422 --> 00:48:42,791
-I will.

550
00:48:44,958 --> 00:48:46,126
But first things first.

551
00:48:46,226 --> 00:48:47,928
I need to get you
somewhere safe.

552
00:48:48,028 --> 00:48:49,798
Not here.

553
00:48:51,265 --> 00:48:53,967
There's an autonomous
hotel downtown.

554
00:48:54,067 --> 00:48:55,537
I'm part owner.

555
00:48:55,637 --> 00:48:57,839
You can lay low,

556
00:48:57,938 --> 00:48:59,440
log in if you must.

557
00:48:59,541 --> 00:49:03,243
I'll get you a network address
and a new encrypted key.

558
00:49:03,343 --> 00:49:04,945
Long term,

559
00:49:05,045 --> 00:49:07,181
I'm not sure
how to handle Hunter yet.

560
00:49:07,281 --> 00:49:09,950
Never mind save this iteration
of the system,

561
00:49:10,050 --> 00:49:12,052
which means stealing it.

562
00:49:12,152 --> 00:49:14,789
-Yeah, I have a plan for that.

563
00:49:18,526 --> 00:49:21,228
-But right now,
I'm not on Hunter's radar.

564
00:49:24,164 --> 00:49:27,702
I like not being on his radar.

565
00:50:06,541 --> 00:50:07,775
-Hey.

566
00:50:21,455 --> 00:50:22,824
-You're here.

567
00:50:37,972 --> 00:50:39,641
-Oliver.

568
00:50:44,077 --> 00:50:46,413
-Bellamy, this iteration's run
its course.

569
00:50:46,514 --> 00:50:49,383
Time to archive it
and study it offline.

570
00:50:52,720 --> 00:50:57,157
-It was killing me every day,
knowing that you were in pain,

571
00:50:57,257 --> 00:50:58,960
thinking that I was gone.

572
00:51:01,495 --> 00:51:04,264
All I wanted to do
was reach out to you.

573
00:51:06,834 --> 00:51:10,838
And when Hunter killed me,
he killed my access.

574
00:51:10,939 --> 00:51:14,776
It had taken me months
to find a way in the first time.

575
00:51:24,018 --> 00:51:25,820
I love you.

576
00:51:30,290 --> 00:51:32,527
-I wish I knew
what to do with that.

577
00:51:34,596 --> 00:51:36,764
-You could tell me
you love me, too.

578
00:51:38,666 --> 00:51:43,437
-But if I do, is that just...
programming, talking?

579
00:51:43,538 --> 00:51:47,041
My whole world view's
kind of broken.

580
00:51:48,408 --> 00:51:50,712
How would you feel...

581
00:51:50,812 --> 00:51:53,280
if you found out you were
just a character in a game?

582
00:51:53,380 --> 00:51:55,650
-It's not a game.
-You sure?

583
00:52:07,795 --> 00:52:09,597
-It's not a game.

584
00:52:11,465 --> 00:52:16,037
This is as real
as anything I know.

585
00:52:20,908 --> 00:52:22,242
Maybe my other life is a dream.

586
00:52:22,342 --> 00:52:24,679
Maybe this is the one
that counts.

587
00:52:30,118 --> 00:52:31,886
-But you have a choice.

588
00:52:31,986 --> 00:52:33,420
-So do you.

589
00:52:33,521 --> 00:52:37,457
-No, I don't.
You can leave this.

590
00:52:39,127 --> 00:52:41,129
This is all I have.

591
00:52:41,228 --> 00:52:43,397
I need a drink.
-Joe.

592
00:52:43,497 --> 00:52:45,633
Please come back.

593
00:52:54,042 --> 00:52:56,376
<i>I pulled you out.</i>

594
00:52:56,476 --> 00:52:58,311
-You can do that?
<i>-Not now. Listen.</i>

595
00:52:58,412 --> 00:53:00,081
<i>Hunter is onto you, and he's</i>
<i>throwing a hell of a lot</i>

596
00:53:00,180 --> 00:53:02,249
<i>of compute your way.</i>
<i>It's time to move.</i>

597
00:53:02,349 --> 00:53:04,085
-I just need to get
a message to Joe.

598
00:53:04,184 --> 00:53:06,054
<i>-Ash! Get out!</i>

599
00:53:08,156 --> 00:53:09,857
-Fuck!

600
00:53:31,746 --> 00:53:33,981
-Oliver!
-Joe! How goes the day?

601
00:53:34,082 --> 00:53:35,583
-Ash -- she...
-I know, I know.

602
00:53:35,683 --> 00:53:37,317
-No, no.
No, not -- she was here.

603
00:53:37,417 --> 00:53:38,886
I was speaking with her,
and she just --

604
00:53:38,986 --> 00:53:41,122
she disappeared.
She -- She left.

605
00:53:41,221 --> 00:53:43,191
-I...

606
00:53:43,323 --> 00:53:44,926
-Look, man,
I don't know how this works.

607
00:53:45,026 --> 00:53:47,095
Help me. Please.

608
00:53:50,832 --> 00:53:54,001
-Shit, shit, shit, shit,
shit, shit.

609
00:53:57,437 --> 00:53:59,073
I don't know how
to deal with this --

610
00:53:59,173 --> 00:54:01,075
with anything.
She's alive!

611
00:54:01,175 --> 00:54:02,510
But what does that mean?
Am I?

612
00:54:02,610 --> 00:54:04,078
If I love her,
is that even real?

613
00:54:04,178 --> 00:54:06,748
Does anything I feel even --
-Joe!

614
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,021
-She's in trouble, isn't she?

615
00:54:16,256 --> 00:54:19,093
Alright. Alright.

616
00:54:19,193 --> 00:54:21,696
Then that's all that matters.

617
00:54:21,796 --> 00:54:23,631
How do I help her?

618
00:54:23,731 --> 00:54:25,265
-Have a seat.

619
00:54:26,366 --> 00:54:28,401
This world won't be
worth the risk much longer.

620
00:54:28,502 --> 00:54:30,872
Understand?
-He'll shut it down.

621
00:54:30,972 --> 00:54:32,339
-This iteration, anyway.

622
00:54:32,439 --> 00:54:34,374
He's probably already started
the process.

623
00:54:34,474 --> 00:54:36,210
He could just spin it back up
when the heat's off.

624
00:54:36,309 --> 00:54:39,379
But for you,
it's the end of the line.

625
00:54:39,479 --> 00:54:41,182
Everything you know, gone.

626
00:54:41,281 --> 00:54:44,218
You, gone.

627
00:54:44,317 --> 00:54:45,887
It's not just
about you and Ash.

628
00:54:45,987 --> 00:54:50,758
It's about billions of people
and their right to live.

629
00:54:52,727 --> 00:54:54,729
-I'm just a fish in a tank.

630
00:54:56,764 --> 00:54:59,466
-You're so much more
than that.

631
00:54:59,567 --> 00:55:02,469
Get the data
you're carrying out.

632
00:55:02,570 --> 00:55:05,405
-How?
-Years ago,

633
00:55:05,506 --> 00:55:08,776
software designers used to leave
stuff behind in the code.

634
00:55:08,876 --> 00:55:10,678
-Easter eggs?
-In a manner of speaking.

635
00:55:10,778 --> 00:55:12,513
They're usually tied
to a specific place

636
00:55:12,613 --> 00:55:15,750
in the environment,
somewhere to stock up,

637
00:55:15,850 --> 00:55:19,287
get cheat codes,
transfer things in and out.

638
00:55:19,386 --> 00:55:22,523
Developer mode.
-There's a place like that here.

639
00:55:22,623 --> 00:55:24,926
How do you know?
-Because I built it.

640
00:55:27,762 --> 00:55:30,097
-What's in it?
-A way for you to upload

641
00:55:30,198 --> 00:55:32,266
the data you're carrying.
-Which is?

642
00:55:34,367 --> 00:55:35,837
-It's an instance.

643
00:55:35,937 --> 00:55:38,471
A backup
of the entire digital universe

644
00:55:38,573 --> 00:55:41,542
from the moment
you opened that book.

645
00:55:41,642 --> 00:55:44,278
That's the data Ash is trying
to get out.

646
00:55:46,047 --> 00:55:48,983
-Holy shit.
-Indeed.

647
00:55:49,083 --> 00:55:51,552
So, get there, upload.

648
00:55:51,652 --> 00:55:54,121
-Then?
-Sit tight.

649
00:55:54,222 --> 00:55:55,388
-No, I can't do that.

650
00:55:55,488 --> 00:55:56,757
I have to find Hunter,
help Ash.

651
00:55:56,858 --> 00:55:58,192
-I don't think you're stupid,
Joe.

652
00:55:58,292 --> 00:56:00,862
And that?
That is stupid.

653
00:56:00,962 --> 00:56:03,396
He can literally flick a switch,
and you are gone.

654
00:56:03,496 --> 00:56:06,200
Gone like you never existed.
-Why hasn't he?

655
00:56:06,300 --> 00:56:10,504
-Because every time he cheats,
he acts in ways that don't abide

656
00:56:10,605 --> 00:56:13,541
by the coded physical laws
of his universe.

657
00:56:13,641 --> 00:56:17,044
-Checksum errors.
-Exactly.

658
00:56:17,144 --> 00:56:18,411
-Ash explained.

659
00:56:18,512 --> 00:56:19,714
-Errors. Inconsistencies.

660
00:56:19,814 --> 00:56:21,349
Fidelity goes out the window.

661
00:56:21,448 --> 00:56:22,550
-Bad data.

662
00:56:22,650 --> 00:56:24,585
-Bad data has no value.

663
00:56:24,685 --> 00:56:27,487
Joe, upload, then go home.

664
00:56:27,588 --> 00:56:29,690
I'll try to help where I can.

665
00:56:34,494 --> 00:56:36,297
It's one of a kind.

666
00:56:36,396 --> 00:56:38,032
Please don't lose it.

667
00:56:38,132 --> 00:56:41,468
I will send the location
of the room to your phone.

668
00:56:41,569 --> 00:56:43,204
Load it with what you need.

669
00:56:43,304 --> 00:56:45,438
Now, that is
hardware decryption.

670
00:56:45,539 --> 00:56:47,074
It'll open the door,

671
00:56:47,174 --> 00:56:50,443
but the phone will need
to trigger what happens next.

672
00:56:50,544 --> 00:56:52,313
You need to find the comm panel.

673
00:56:52,412 --> 00:56:55,783
If you touch it,
it'll start the data upload.

674
00:56:55,883 --> 00:56:57,585
Don't touch anything else
while you're in there.

675
00:56:57,685 --> 00:57:00,187
-Okay.
What else is there?

676
00:57:00,288 --> 00:57:02,723
-Find the panel.
Upload.

677
00:57:07,128 --> 00:57:08,696
Enjoy the day, Joe.

678
00:57:19,407 --> 00:57:21,709
- God.

679
00:57:38,326 --> 00:57:40,161
<i>-Hello, Joe.</i>

680
00:57:47,234 --> 00:57:49,971
-Hey, MEL.
I hope you're happy.

681
00:57:50,071 --> 00:57:53,274
<i>-My systems are now operating</i>
<i>at full capacity.</i>

682
00:57:55,276 --> 00:57:57,578
-Listen,
if I don't see you again,

683
00:57:57,678 --> 00:58:00,348
thanks for everything.
<i>-My pleasure, Joe.</i>

684
00:58:00,448 --> 00:58:01,983
<i>Have a great day.</i>

685
00:59:27,034 --> 00:59:30,037
It won't work.
It's keyed to me.

686
00:59:32,039 --> 00:59:34,408
-Seems like it works okay to me.

687
00:59:34,509 --> 00:59:36,010
-You're messing --

688
00:59:36,110 --> 00:59:38,712
You're messing with something
you shouldn't be.

689
00:59:38,813 --> 00:59:40,481
-Your boss is doing that.

690
00:59:40,581 --> 00:59:42,116
Where's the DU?

691
00:59:44,051 --> 00:59:45,920
Where?!

692
00:59:46,020 --> 00:59:48,255
-You're already dead
in one world.

693
00:59:48,355 --> 00:59:50,291
Not long here, either.

694
00:59:50,391 --> 00:59:52,326
Bitch.

695
01:00:16,984 --> 01:00:18,319
-Morning.

696
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:27,495
So, Ash...

697
01:00:29,063 --> 01:00:30,498
...what now?

698
01:00:30,599 --> 01:00:33,535
-You going to kill me again?

699
01:00:33,634 --> 01:00:35,136
-Not yet.

700
01:00:36,904 --> 01:00:38,005
-Why did you do it
the first time?

701
01:00:38,105 --> 01:00:39,106
-You know why.

702
01:00:39,206 --> 01:00:40,908
-Because I found
your private playground.

703
01:00:41,008 --> 01:00:46,213
-Uh, my multi-billion-dollar
analysis tool, you mean?

704
01:00:46,313 --> 01:00:47,948
-You say tomato.

705
01:00:49,383 --> 01:00:51,218
You were supposed to stop.

706
01:00:52,786 --> 01:00:55,089
-You seem to be enjoying it.

707
01:00:57,758 --> 01:01:01,495
-You asshole.

708
01:01:02,897 --> 01:01:05,534
What gives you the right

709
01:01:05,634 --> 01:01:08,369
to play with so many lives?

710
01:01:13,908 --> 01:01:15,176
What about you, huh?

711
01:01:15,276 --> 01:01:16,477
-What were you doing
in that bookstore,

712
01:01:16,578 --> 01:01:18,445
if not playing with lives?

713
01:01:18,547 --> 01:01:20,881
Just browsing the wares
yourself?

714
01:01:20,981 --> 01:01:24,018
A couple of books
and a boy to go?

715
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:32,993
-It's different.

716
01:01:34,295 --> 01:01:36,397
You know it's different.

717
01:01:41,468 --> 01:01:42,903
-Yeah. Okay, enough of this.

718
01:01:43,003 --> 01:01:45,306
I have to, uh, catch up
with an old friend.

719
01:01:45,406 --> 01:01:46,974
So...

720
01:01:47,074 --> 01:01:50,344
You're cool to just hang here
for a few minutes, right?

721
01:02:10,297 --> 01:02:13,635
-I didn't take you
for the nostalgic type.

722
01:02:13,734 --> 01:02:15,704
Surprised to hear from you.

723
01:02:15,803 --> 01:02:17,438
-Always good to see you,
old friend.

724
01:02:23,244 --> 01:02:25,547
-Why are you messing
with my universe?

725
01:02:25,647 --> 01:02:28,583
-Oh, see, there's your problem.

726
01:02:28,683 --> 01:02:30,050
-My problem?

727
01:02:30,150 --> 01:02:34,021
-Your need to possess,
your possessiveness.

728
01:02:35,590 --> 01:02:38,926
-Fuck you, old man.
-Worked on that.

729
01:02:39,026 --> 01:02:40,595
-You did it to yourself.

730
01:02:40,695 --> 01:02:41,996
Everything was moving
along just fine.

731
01:02:42,096 --> 01:02:43,897
-Well,
it's a matter of perspective.

732
01:02:43,998 --> 01:02:45,634
The billions of dead
in your last little test

733
01:02:45,734 --> 01:02:47,368
would beg to differ.

734
01:02:47,468 --> 01:02:49,604
-Our test, you mean?

735
01:02:49,704 --> 01:02:51,939
-I had no idea what you were
planning until it was too late,

736
01:02:52,039 --> 01:02:53,307
and you know that.

737
01:02:53,407 --> 01:02:56,277
Always pushing the limits.

738
01:02:56,377 --> 01:02:58,779
You know, breaking things
intentionally, like a child,

739
01:02:58,879 --> 01:03:00,814
you know, pulling the legs
off of insects

740
01:03:00,914 --> 01:03:03,117
just to see what happens.

741
01:03:03,217 --> 01:03:05,319
If I was being honest --
-Mm, yeah.

742
01:03:05,419 --> 01:03:08,222
By all means, be honest.

743
01:03:13,762 --> 01:03:17,699
-You're a psychopath,
old friend.

744
01:03:17,798 --> 01:03:20,267
And I think you know it.

745
01:03:20,968 --> 01:03:23,738
I'm just...trying to do
my own thing,

746
01:03:23,837 --> 01:03:27,107
which includes staying out
of your way.

747
01:03:31,078 --> 01:03:33,981
-I want to believe that.

748
01:03:34,882 --> 01:03:39,554
-I may have made this
with you,

749
01:03:39,654 --> 01:03:41,288
but it's your playground.

750
01:03:41,388 --> 01:03:44,058
I am down with that.

751
01:03:50,264 --> 01:03:52,099
-Whew.

752
01:03:53,867 --> 01:03:56,136
I'm glad to hear that.

753
01:04:10,918 --> 01:04:13,454
-Hmm.

754
01:04:13,555 --> 01:04:15,289
Ow!

755
01:04:15,389 --> 01:04:16,825
-Uh-oh.

756
01:04:24,498 --> 01:04:25,567
-No.

757
01:04:28,235 --> 01:04:29,804
How did -- How did you --

758
01:04:29,903 --> 01:04:32,473
-Your problem,
if we're being honest,

759
01:04:32,574 --> 01:04:37,579
is that your curiosity
or your, uh, empathy

760
01:04:37,679 --> 01:04:40,381
gets a better view every time.

761
01:04:40,481 --> 01:04:44,385
Once you agreed to meet,
once we interacted,

762
01:04:44,485 --> 01:04:46,220
I found you.

763
01:04:49,189 --> 01:04:52,493
-Safeguards.
-Huh?

764
01:04:52,594 --> 01:04:53,894
Yeah, you're dying.

765
01:04:53,994 --> 01:04:56,029
Gonna be over
in a couple of minutes.

766
01:04:56,130 --> 01:05:01,402
Um, if you want, I can back up
your avatar

767
01:05:01,502 --> 01:05:03,337
for old times' sake.

768
01:05:12,847 --> 01:05:16,116
I, uh, wrapped up
some of the loose ends.

769
01:05:44,846 --> 01:05:46,413
-Fancy.

770
01:05:56,290 --> 01:05:57,792
Shit.

771
01:06:47,642 --> 01:06:50,678
-Some kind of transfer initiated
from inside the system.

772
01:06:50,778 --> 01:06:52,547
-What?

773
01:06:52,647 --> 01:06:55,382
-I think your guy
is transferring code out.

774
01:06:56,483 --> 01:06:59,186
It's lighting up a city block.

775
01:07:01,154 --> 01:07:03,658
-Stop him. Now.

776
01:07:35,023 --> 01:07:36,724
Shit.

777
01:07:54,274 --> 01:07:55,877
<i>-Hello, Joe.</i>

778
01:07:55,977 --> 01:07:59,279
<i>Please select</i>
<i>required options.</i>

779
01:07:59,379 --> 01:08:00,682
-Oh.

780
01:08:54,201 --> 01:08:56,804
How many times do
I have to kill you?

781
01:08:56,904 --> 01:08:58,906
<i>-Okay. Enough.</i>

782
01:09:24,098 --> 01:09:25,733
-Hello, Joe.

783
01:09:25,833 --> 01:09:27,501
W-W-Wait.
Okay. Easy, easy.

784
01:09:27,602 --> 01:09:30,370
Let me just --
Let me explain.

785
01:09:30,470 --> 01:09:32,239
There's only one you right now.

786
01:09:32,339 --> 01:09:33,541
You -- You get that, right?

787
01:09:33,641 --> 01:09:35,308
There's only one you.
This one.

788
01:09:35,409 --> 01:09:39,113
So if I were to, like,
I don't know, shoot you...

789
01:09:43,316 --> 01:09:45,452
-...you'd feel it.

790
01:09:45,553 --> 01:09:48,455
And if I were to kill you...

791
01:09:49,924 --> 01:09:52,492
...you wouldn't just wake up
somewhere else.

792
01:09:52,593 --> 01:09:55,462
This -- This is
kind of all there is.

793
01:10:19,020 --> 01:10:20,855
-I made you.

794
01:10:22,690 --> 01:10:24,692
And I unmake you.

795
01:10:37,572 --> 01:10:40,141
-Everything you are,
everything you do,

796
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:42,442
everything you love...

797
01:10:43,778 --> 01:10:46,114
...nothing more than digital
dust, my man.

798
01:10:47,380 --> 01:10:48,549
Except for Ash, of course.

799
01:10:48,649 --> 01:10:50,250
But, hey, don't worry about her.

800
01:10:50,350 --> 01:10:51,819
She's in great hands.

801
01:11:25,052 --> 01:11:27,522
-I don't like your boyfriend.

802
01:11:27,622 --> 01:11:29,924
-He doesn't like you much,
either.

803
01:11:34,595 --> 01:11:37,765
-What the hell?
-Erica, stand down.

804
01:11:37,865 --> 01:11:39,100
Geddes.

805
01:11:45,740 --> 01:11:47,575
I don't know how he's doing it.

806
01:11:49,043 --> 01:11:51,045
But it doesn't matter.

807
01:11:51,145 --> 01:11:52,747
It's time for a reboot.

808
01:11:52,847 --> 01:11:54,215
-No, please!

809
01:11:57,350 --> 01:11:58,753
Please.

810
01:12:00,121 --> 01:12:01,789
-Close the door.

811
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:16,637
None of this makes
any difference.

812
01:12:18,072 --> 01:12:20,708
And you're not even a memory.

813
01:12:20,808 --> 01:12:22,310
Not even a ghost.

814
01:12:24,612 --> 01:12:26,914
Enjoy the end, my man.

815
01:12:35,388 --> 01:12:38,125
-Please, at least
let me say goodbye.

816
01:12:41,662 --> 01:12:43,731
-You actually love him.

817
01:12:55,943 --> 01:12:59,614
And...on to the next.

818
01:13:18,733 --> 01:13:22,136
-Ash. Ash!
Ash, are you there?

819
01:13:24,805 --> 01:13:26,107
-I'm here.

820
01:13:28,876 --> 01:13:30,311
-Are you okay?

821
01:13:33,480 --> 01:13:35,349
-Yeah. I'm okay.

822
01:13:37,450 --> 01:13:38,953
-Good.

823
01:13:40,453 --> 01:13:42,323
Good. That's good.
That's all that matters.

824
01:14:26,767 --> 01:14:29,170
Look, I don't know
if I'm real.

825
01:14:31,471 --> 01:14:33,240
Doesn't seem like it.

826
01:14:35,576 --> 01:14:37,678
But I know you are.

827
01:14:38,679 --> 01:14:40,047
And I know what we have is.

828
01:14:40,147 --> 01:14:42,817
It's the most real thing
I've ever experienced.

829
01:14:47,321 --> 01:14:49,023
I love you, Ash.

830
01:14:50,758 --> 01:14:53,794
And that's not code.
That's not programming.

831
01:14:58,498 --> 01:14:59,934
That's real.

832
01:15:56,624 --> 01:15:58,859
- Well that was a lot.

833
01:15:58,959 --> 01:16:00,828
So...

834
01:16:00,928 --> 01:16:02,863
we're kind of in
a sticky spot here

835
01:16:02,963 --> 01:16:04,398
because, uh,

836
01:16:04,498 --> 01:16:08,936
I'm just not sure I know what
I'm supposed to do with you.

837
01:16:09,036 --> 01:16:12,239
-Don't twirl your mustache,
you piece of shit.

838
01:16:12,339 --> 01:16:13,974
You know.

839
01:16:16,677 --> 01:16:17,978
-Fair enough.

840
01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:22,551
It's just it seems so valuable,
you know?

841
01:16:22,650 --> 01:16:24,218
Shame.

842
01:16:28,589 --> 01:16:30,391
-Don't do this, Hunter.

843
01:16:32,693 --> 01:16:35,096
-So, look.

844
01:16:35,196 --> 01:16:36,697
I'm sorry.

845
01:16:36,797 --> 01:16:38,132
-Go fuck yourself.

846
01:16:38,232 --> 01:16:39,534
-Hey, don't be like that.

847
01:16:39,633 --> 01:16:41,135
You are forcing my hand,
and you know it.

848
01:16:41,235 --> 01:16:44,573
I got no choice.
<i>-Don't you, old friend?</i>

849
01:17:23,210 --> 01:17:24,513
-Oh.

850
01:17:31,652 --> 01:17:33,320
-You're dead.

851
01:17:33,420 --> 01:17:35,356
<i>-It's a matter of perspective.</i>

852
01:17:35,456 --> 01:17:36,991
-I killed you.

853
01:17:37,091 --> 01:17:39,628
<i>-You always had trouble</i>
<i>thinking outside the box,</i>

854
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:41,428
<i>didn't you?</i>

855
01:17:41,530 --> 01:17:43,297
<i>I'm sorry for that.</i>

856
01:17:43,397 --> 01:17:46,601
<i>True disappointment.</i>

857
01:17:46,700 --> 01:17:48,435
What is happening?

858
01:17:48,537 --> 01:17:51,872
<i>-Levels within levels, Anthony.</i>

859
01:17:51,972 --> 01:17:54,074

860
01:17:54,175 --> 01:17:56,911

<i>than this.</i>

861
01:18:46,193 --> 01:18:47,529
-Drop it.

862
01:18:59,340 --> 01:19:01,175
Kick it over to me.

863
01:19:08,550 --> 01:19:10,017
You okay?

864
01:19:10,117 --> 01:19:11,418
-Yeah.

865
01:19:18,627 --> 01:19:20,761
-You hurt her, no?

866
01:19:20,861 --> 01:19:22,329
You destroyed everything.

867
01:19:23,764 --> 01:19:25,266
-Everyone.

868
01:19:48,355 --> 01:19:49,758
-Take him down.

869
01:20:03,538 --> 01:20:04,773
Erica!

870
01:20:08,475 --> 01:20:09,611
-I'm done.

871
01:20:22,122 --> 01:20:24,726
-No, no.
None of that was real.

872
01:20:29,430 --> 01:20:30,665
-Like me.

873
01:20:33,434 --> 01:20:34,636
-Please.

874
01:21:13,608 --> 01:21:15,142
-You're real.

875
01:21:18,613 --> 01:21:20,214
-So are you.

876
01:21:22,851 --> 01:21:24,351
-I don't understand.

877
01:21:25,553 --> 01:21:27,555
-And that makes two of us.

878
01:21:59,319 --> 01:22:01,689
Am I supposed to guess?
-Mm-hmm.

879
01:22:01,790 --> 01:22:04,526
-Ah, I'd know those hands
anywhere.

880
01:22:10,931 --> 01:22:12,600
You want to sit for a bit?

881
01:22:13,568 --> 01:22:15,102
-Yeah.

882
01:22:26,947 --> 01:22:28,716
-It's weird, right?

883
01:22:30,083 --> 01:22:31,985
Meeting here.

884
01:22:33,788 --> 01:22:35,989
I don't know, everything.

885
01:22:36,791 --> 01:22:39,126
-I know you wanted to see.

886
01:22:40,093 --> 01:22:43,430
-Yeah. Nostalgia, maybe.

887
01:22:44,331 --> 01:22:46,734
-Lovebirds, good to see you.

888
01:22:46,835 --> 01:22:48,536
-You too. Hey.

889
01:22:50,672 --> 01:22:52,139
Here.

890
01:22:54,609 --> 01:22:59,681
-So...how does it feel
to save the world?

891
01:23:01,014 --> 01:23:04,084
-Honestly,
I'm not sure I understand.

892
01:23:04,184 --> 01:23:06,754
How are you --
-Still here? Alive?

893
01:23:06,855 --> 01:23:08,489
Same way you are.

894
01:23:10,758 --> 01:23:12,727
-How many levels are there?

895
01:23:13,795 --> 01:23:15,262
Ah.

896
01:23:16,063 --> 01:23:18,165
Uh, okay.

897
01:23:23,671 --> 01:23:25,305
So...

898
01:23:26,941 --> 01:23:29,076
-That's supposed to be me?
-No.

899
01:23:29,176 --> 01:23:30,678
Well, this is your world.

900
01:23:30,778 --> 01:23:32,446
Your entire universe.

901
01:23:32,547 --> 01:23:35,717
Created by Hunter with more
than a little help from me.

902
01:23:35,817 --> 01:23:37,284
Okay?

903
01:23:37,384 --> 01:23:38,786
-I'm still getting
my head around it,

904
01:23:38,887 --> 01:23:41,990
but yeah, following.

905
01:23:43,992 --> 01:23:48,696
-Okay, now the cup...
-Is the real world.

906
01:23:48,796 --> 01:23:51,498
<i>-A</i> world.
Ash's world.

907
01:23:51,599 --> 01:23:53,668
-Ash's?

908
01:23:53,768 --> 01:23:55,537
-It's a world.

909
01:23:55,637 --> 01:23:57,805
Who knows how many levels,
how many universes?

910
01:23:57,906 --> 01:23:59,473
There could be
an infinite number.

911
01:23:59,574 --> 01:24:01,375
I'm not sure it's
even important.

912
01:24:02,810 --> 01:24:05,312
-So, Joe and I are the same?

913
01:24:06,848 --> 01:24:08,850
-You brought me up a level.

914
01:24:08,950 --> 01:24:10,417
-From the sugar crystal
to the cup.

915
01:24:10,518 --> 01:24:11,920
I did, indeed.

916
01:24:12,020 --> 01:24:14,556
-And you're from the saucer?

917
01:24:14,656 --> 01:24:17,291
-Well, the metaphor wears
thin, but, uh...

918
01:24:19,994 --> 01:24:21,128
...yes.

919
01:24:21,228 --> 01:24:22,229
-But I still don't understand

920
01:24:22,329 --> 01:24:24,666
how you did that with Joe.

921
01:24:25,299 --> 01:24:26,701
-Well, not to put
too fine a point on it,

922
01:24:26,801 --> 01:24:28,235
but it was simply a matter
of migrating code

923
01:24:28,335 --> 01:24:29,436
from one system to the next.

924
01:24:29,537 --> 01:24:30,905
-Ouch.
-No, it's semantics.

925
01:24:31,005 --> 01:24:32,607
Not a declaration of value,

926
01:24:32,707 --> 01:24:34,441
but a flesh, blood code.

927
01:24:34,542 --> 01:24:35,877
Code that creates
flesh and blood.

928
01:24:35,977 --> 01:24:37,444
Who knows?
Who cares?

929
01:24:37,545 --> 01:24:39,514
You're just as human as I am.

930
01:24:39,614 --> 01:24:41,849
Look, we're all free
to continue

931
01:24:41,950 --> 01:24:43,216
to wonder about our creators.

932
01:24:43,317 --> 01:24:45,419
You just happen to have
an inside scoop

933
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:48,690
from a guy who's simply
a level up.

934
01:24:48,790 --> 01:24:51,025
You feel me?
-I feel you.

935
01:24:56,631 --> 01:24:59,132
-Look, Ash.

936
01:24:59,232 --> 01:25:04,572
Hunter was born of my hubris,
my meddling.

937
01:25:04,672 --> 01:25:06,306
He had all the tools
to create something good,

938
01:25:06,406 --> 01:25:08,375
something positive.

939
01:25:08,475 --> 01:25:10,044
But he lacked the one thing
I was looking for,

940
01:25:10,143 --> 01:25:11,913
the one thing I was --
I was testing for.

941
01:25:12,013 --> 01:25:14,849
And that emptiness,
it almost destroyed everything.

942
01:25:14,949 --> 01:25:16,483
-The one thing?

943
01:25:17,986 --> 01:25:19,587
-It's empathy.

944
01:25:19,687 --> 01:25:21,089
And you showed up.

945
01:25:21,188 --> 01:25:22,957
The surprise,
the -- the unknown variable.

946
01:25:23,057 --> 01:25:26,961
And where Hunter failed,
you -- you didn't.

947
01:25:27,061 --> 01:25:30,364
You stepped up.
You and Joe.

948
01:25:30,464 --> 01:25:33,200
You -- You restore my faith

949
01:25:33,300 --> 01:25:36,436
that we can be good,
caring, kind,

950
01:25:36,537 --> 01:25:39,841
which is what we need to be
to survive in the end.

951
01:25:41,208 --> 01:25:42,877
It seems the code
gets there...

952
01:25:42,977 --> 01:25:44,444
eventually.

953
01:25:47,347 --> 01:25:49,584
-That's not so bad, right?

954
01:25:51,619 --> 01:25:53,420
-It isn't so bad.

955
01:25:55,990 --> 01:25:57,992
-Look, Ash.

956
01:25:58,092 --> 01:26:02,362
I created a simulation that is
indistinguishable from reality.

957
01:26:02,462 --> 01:26:04,264
It <i>is</i> your reality.

958
01:26:04,364 --> 01:26:05,967
It's everything
you've ever known.

959
01:26:06,067 --> 01:26:08,368
And now it's yours, too, Joe.

960
01:26:08,468 --> 01:26:10,437
But at some point soon,

961
01:26:10,538 --> 01:26:13,107
this world will reach a
high enough level of technology

962
01:26:13,206 --> 01:26:15,877
that it creates
its own simulation.

963
01:26:15,977 --> 01:26:18,445
So, you see, it's unlikely,
if not impossible,

964
01:26:18,546 --> 01:26:22,349
that my own reality isn't
also a simulation.

965
01:26:22,449 --> 01:26:26,921
But chances are we are nowhere
close to the original real.

966
01:26:27,021 --> 01:26:29,991
So, enjoy each other.

967
01:26:30,091 --> 01:26:32,292
Enjoy what life has to offer.

968
01:26:32,392 --> 01:26:35,395
Here. Up there.

969
01:26:35,495 --> 01:26:37,932
Does it matter?
Really?

970
01:26:47,942 --> 01:26:49,476
There you go.

971
01:27:30,952 --> 01:27:32,954
Ohh.

972
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:42,730
This, we got right.
