Come back to bed.
I'm gonna be late for work.
You prude.
[he laughs]
You don't always have to follow all the rules.
Sometimes it's fun to break a few.
You know, I bet if we try real hard, we can have you off to work in no time.
[baby crying]
Tonight. You got yourself a date.
I should get the kids up.
[she groans]
Maggie?
What's wrong?
What's wrong, Maggie?
Maggie, what's wrong? Maggie?

Welcome to Kobol Industries.
Life simplified.
Daddy, can we have lasagna for dinner?
That's your mom's recipe, bug.
Okay.
Whoa, look at this one!
Hey, hey, hey! Stay close!
Please refrain from touching any sims.
Thank you.
Daddy, look how real they are!
Welcome to Kobol.
How can we simplify your life?
I was just interested in a home model.
Excellent.
All of our models come with a Home-Plus package,
which includes the three Cs, cooking, cleaning, and childcare.
And there are upgrades for anything, from Thai massage to accounting to-
Yeah, I know all about them. Some of our neighbors have them.
-If you have a- -Not like this, they don't.
Please present your card to the cashier.
All of our AI units come with a positronic core and a 50 gigahertz processor.
This thing could coordinate a NASA mission while
playing a million games of chess simultaneously.
And these units auto-adapt.
They customize their programming, constantly evolving to fit your needs.
The more they learn, the better they serve.
[he hums]
How much supervision does he need?
Once a unit arrives, it'll perform a quick assessment, a few simple questions.
Then you can leave for a year and come back to a picture-perfect home.
What do you think about it, bug?
Isla?
Do we have enough time?
Yeah, we have enough time.
You don't mind, do you, if we go, like, early?
No, you do you.
Check this thing.
Yeah, we will walk down to...
I don't know, honey. It's so far.
Well, you have to understand, our new models can iron as well as any human can.
They control the temperature...
[chatter]
Stop nagging at me.
Why don't you go talk to Jeff? When you come back, we'll figure it out.
Excuse me, do you make lasagna?
Isla!
Don't worry, sir. I've got security on it.
Does this one belong to you?
God, babe.
I told you to stay close. Are you trying to give me a heart attack?
I'm sorry, Daddy.
Would you like me to watch her for you while you finish shopping?
Yeah.
You can keep her if you want, yeah.
Put her to work.
Oh, that'll be perfect.
Her tiny stature is great for cleaning out the ovens.
It's a joke.
Our brand new Aeon series.
The most sophisticated AI on the planet.
And these models are specifically designed for mimicking human emotions.
And they are especially good at dealing with children.
I can see.
Daddy, can we get her, please?
Please?
Listen, I'm running a little late. I just need to drop-
Huh, Max? Max? Max?
[baby babbles]
I just need to drop Isla off to school and then I'll head over.
We're out of milk.
[silverware clanks]
Uhh, yeah.
Mm-hmm. Tell Monty to have the guys ready on the sky deck.
Yeah, the railing needs to be finished by the end of the day.
-[doorbell rings] -Yeah, I gotta go. Okay, I gotta go.
Eat, okay?
Good morning, Mr. Peretti.
May I come inside?
Yeah, sure.
[baby babbles]
I'm so sorry.
Mornings are a little crazy here.
Isla, go get dressed for school.
But she just got here.
Go get dressed for school. Come on.
I'm not company, Mr. Peretti.
You don't have to tidy up for me.
I'll need everyone's schedules,
school start times, carpools, extracurriculars.
[stair banister rattling]
I've, uh, yeah, been meaning to fix that.
I'm happy to do it for you.
As the owner, you've been designated as primary user,
which gives you control over tasks and software upgrades.
Is there anyone else you would like to grant primary user status?
No, I guess not.
-Come on already. I'm going to be late. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We've got to go to school.
I can take them.
Just clean up around here if you don't mind.
If it makes your life simpler, I don't mind at all.
What's her name, Daddy?
I don't have a name yet.
What would you like to call me, Nick?
Uh...
What do you think, bug?
Hey, let's go, let's go!
Alice, we're home!
She cleaned my room!
Welcome home, Nick.
Should I prepare dinner?
Dinner is served.
Smells so good.
[silverware clanking]
What's wrong?
It's not the same as Mom's.
I'm sorry.
I'll try a different recipe next time.
[baby cries]
Oh.
No, no, no, no.
Quite the little burden, aren't you?
Nothing but trouble.
Would you like me to take him upstairs so he can't bother you?
No, it's fine.
Maybe you can just prepare him a bath.
Of course.
[dog barking in the distance]
[chair rattling]
[Isla screams]
[jar breaking]
Isla!
I'm okay.
Alice caught me.
-What happened? -She was attempting to retrieve a snack.
Gotta be more careful, bug.
I'm sorry, Daddy.
You all right?
I'm fine.
[knock on door]
Yes?
I'm sorry.
Um, here.
They're Maggie's.
Thank you.
Is the damage bad?
Do I need to get you repaired?
Everything's perfect, Nick.
[sound of sirens]
Mommy!
Oh. Hi baby!
Whoa, whoa.
-Take it easy. -Oh, she's fine and heavy.
What's your father been feeding you, huh?
-Alice has been making dinner. -Uh-oh.
She's much better than Daddy.
-Oh. -Really?
I would want a refund if she wasn't.
She's my friend.
Hi, Alice.
Hello, Mrs. Peretti.
Hey, how are you?
You need anything?
Oh, I asked for water about an hour ago.
I assume the nurses should be done siphoning it from a well by now.
I'm sure that Alice and Isla can take care of that.
Yeah?
March!
God, I hate being away from you guys.
And not working, and just...
The waiting is the hardest part.
Come on, you're at the top of the list. You know that, right, yeah?
It's gonna be any day now.
I thought you were going to get an old English butler.
Your daughter picked her, I don't know.
Right.
I know your type.
-My type? -Yeah.
What?
Then you know I like my women warm-blooded and sharp-tongued.
Like the old days.
Yeah, right.
Full marathon.
Send the kids away.
I don't know about any marathons, but there
were some formative miles there, for sure.
What are you guys laughing about?
Oh, just your father's inadequacy.
Thanks, baby.
[music score]
[sounds of construction]
So I'm going with a jackhammer.
You know, I'm pounding into the concrete.
Yeah, sweating bullets.
And that's when I look up and I see her.
****ing tall, blonde, legs forever.
And she's looking at me.
In your dreams, pal.
Hey! So I, I give her a look.
I give her a wave.
Only now I'm not paying attention.
And I drill,
right into a septic line.
****ing 5,000 gallons of liquid shit comes blasting
out the sewer, covering me from head to toe.
You get her number?
You bet your ***.
Turns out she runs a dry cleaning service in the West Village.
Why the hell they got a robotics company looking around here?
Gentlemen, as you can see, the skeletal frame is complete.
But we're two months behind on the facade, and we're also
having some issues with the... Nick, what are you doing?
How many?
-Just calm down, okay? -How many of us are getting
-replaced by sims? -We're still processing all the officers.
You said it wasn't gonna happen. Last-ditch effort, you said.
We're drowning in the ditch, Nick. If we don't
switch over to labor force now, we are ****ed.
[elevator stops]
How many, Lewis?
We're doing a wholesale changeover of all laborers effective next week.
Specialized fields.
-Plumbers, electricians... -You're scraping us all.
-No. -Yeah.
Not you.
Insurance says we need a flesh-and-blood foreman on site.
**** that.
I'll walk away.
Look, Nick.
I'm sorry.
I really am.
I want you to think about your family.
About Maggie?
This is the world now.
[elevator goes up]
[car horns]
[door opens]
Daddy, I got 99 on my spellings.
Wanna see?
Just a second, bug.
Daddy needs to change.
But I've been waiting all night to show you.
Okay, okay, okay.
Hey, little man.
Why are you always screaming at Daddy?
What did I do?
Okay.
We're right here, Mom and Dad.
Yeah.

[screwdriver clanking]
You didn't eat much at dinner.
Just a bad day at work.
I'm happy to hear about it.
[exhales]
My boss replaced the entire crew.
Yeah.
With sims like you.
Ten ****ing years I've known these guys.
The kids.
The families.
That must have been upsetting,
but still you should be pleased.
How's that?
You could have hired a real person for my job.
Why choose me?
Certainly cost was a factor, but there are other benefits.
I don't get tired, I'm strong, obedient,
and I have no desires outside of fulfilling yours.
[opens the bottle]
I'm gonna go put Isla to bed.
Let me know if you need something.
[door opens and closes]
So Queen asked Alice who the gardeners are.
But Alice didn't have a clue.
So guess what the queen said?
I have no idea.
Off with their heads!
Oh my, that's very morbid.
What does morbid mean?
Something characterized by an unpleasant subject such as disease or death.
Like in a hospital?
Sometimes people die in a hospital.
That's true.
Is my mom gonna die?
Maybe you shouldn't think about it.
Did you brush the ones all the way in the back?
Why don't you ever brush your teeth?
I have an internal UV light that destroys all bacteria.
Can I see?
Whoa.
He tells me he can give us an exit visa, but we have no money.
Does he know that?
-Is he still willing to give you a visa? -Yes Monsieur.
-And you want to know -Will he keep his word?
Best movie ever.
Right here.
Casablanca.
Of course.
You know it?
It's the story of a bitter man who lost the woman that he loves.
Have you actually seen it?
Is there a difference?
Yeah, of course.
It's not just a file stored in your memory.
It's a movie.
It's something that you have to experience to feel it.
Come sit here.
I want you to forget everything you know about this movie.
Forget?
Yeah.
I mean, wipe it from your memory or whatever.
My intelligence is derived from memory.
Deleting it would be antithetical.
Well, I'm your primary user.
I'm telling you to erase any memory you have of this movie.
Would I make you happy if I erased it?
You'll have to manually restart me.
Yeah.
Hold the power button down for seven seconds.
[Alice shuts down]
[eerie score starts]
Did it work?
Yes.
Yeah.
I'm gonna restart it.
Will he keep his word?
He always has.
Oh.
Monsieur, you are a man.
If someone loved you very much so that
your happiness was the only thing that she wanted in the world,
and she did a bad thing to make certain of it,
could you forgive her?
Nobody ever loved me that much.
And he-
[phone buzzes]
Hey, what are you doing up?
Nick? Oh, my God.
-They finally found a heart. -[Nick laughs]
-They're having me for surgery. -When?
When are they gonna do the surgery?
My God, that's great.
Go to the park, go to the beach, and have you take me to school.
Yeah, what else?
I definitely want to get ice cream at Rosie's.
Ice cream is a top priority.
Should we bring Alice along?
Maybe sometime, but just me and you the first time.
Time for Mommy to get ready for surgery.
I love you, Mommy.
I love you
Can you give me a minute alone with Alice?
Yeah, sure.
Let's go get a soda.
Okay.
[door closes]
Would you like me to help you, Mrs. Peretti?
You're washing my husband's underwear. I think you can call me Maggie.
Don't get me wrong, I tend to come out of this swinging, but...
-if I don't... -You mean if you die?
The kids will be okay.
Nick will take care of them.
But somebody's gotta take...
[sniffles]
Don't let him drink too much.
He hides the bottles in the garage.
Take him away if you have to.
-Nick is my primary user. I can't... -You can.
Sometimes taking care of someone means doing things they don't like.
Even things they hate.
If it's better in the long run.
Listen, get another air ambulance.
Put it on a commercial flight if you have to.
Is there a problem?
What about incoming?
What's happening?
Can we get the recipient?
What the hell is going on?
There's a massive storm up north.
It came in faster than anyone anticipated.
What does it mean?
[baby cries]
There's still plenty of time.
Do you want something to eat?
I think I'm just going to go to bed.
I'll stay with you until you fall asleep
It's late for Isla.
I think I just need to be alone.
[footsteps fade away]
[door opens and closes]
[clanking noise]
[door opens then closes]
Do you need anything, Nick?
Do you know what the parameters are for an FAA to stop air traffic?
In adverse weather conditions such as snow or ice,
sustained winds of over 55 miles an hour...
That was rhetorical.
Of course.
You know, 50... 50 mile an hour winds, no problem.
You know, plane flies, normal.
55 miles and my kids grow up without a ****ing mother.
[he sniffles]
It's funny, you know.
We create these rules to keep ourselves safe.
And then we end up like -[clanking noise]
****!
You'll hurt yourself.
[loud breathing]
Is that a pulse?
The sound produced by a heart is comforting to a baby.
It's beating.
They gave the heart to somebody else.
It feels like...
they ripped it out of her chest.
[inhales harshly]
My artificial heart lacks the complexities of yours.
The ability to feel emotions.
For a rhythm to become erratic.
I can feel your response.
Your pulse is rising.
Suffering is not productive, Nick.
I can't...
[door closes]

[ominous score intensifies]
[sounds of construction]
[police sirens in the distance]
[hospital machine beeps]
Do me a favor?
Tell Isla to go classic with her prom dress.
Nothing trendy or with ruffles or...
cutouts.
All right, darling.
Don't let her study bio to honor me.
And tell Max not to put up any band posters
in his dorm room because those kids never get laid.
You're trying to be funny.
None of this is funny.
[dramatic score]
I'm checking his breathing.
There's a slight hitch on the inhale, probably a chest cold.
Did you need something?
What happened to the photos?
Which ones?
Photos of Maggie.
They're gone.
Yes.
They were making Isla sad, so I removed them.
Should I not have?
Load the pictures back.
Done.
So Donna here gets the genius idea to pull a nooner.
I thought you ***holes could handle your liquor.
It never occurred to me they'd lose the goddamn truck.
-You lost the thing? -Uh-huh.
****ing truck was back at the depot the whole time.
We'd taken Nick's car to the bar and totally forgot.
[laughing]
Hey.
You good?
Yeah, yeah.
It's just, um, hospital stuff.
I'm sorry. Sorry.
Hey.
We're all pulling for her, man.
Thanks, brother.
Appreciate it.
Another round, sweet spark.
You guys got a line on a gig?
I heard Brightland might be bringing on some guys,
but they mostly want techies to babysit their sparks.
Mm-hmm. Same over at Artwood & Sons.
Pay one grunt, buy five bots, easy math.
Now I know how the dinosaurs felt.
**** that.
They go wiped out by a comet.
Boom.
Done.
No, this thing's been coming for 15 years.
And we *****ed, but we didn't stop it.
We let these soulless mother****ers take over the world.
Can I get you anything else?
Well, it depends what kind of upgrades you got under that hood of yours.
[chuckles]
Just the check, please.
Thank you.
You guys want to have some fun?
[car engine sound]
Chill out. Have a drink.
Get it under rotation.
Where are we going?
What are we doing here?
-Come on, you're so grumpy. Talk to me. -Seriously, man.
Monty, what are we doing here?
Ah, settle down, princess.
I left my tools the other day.
Those *******s fired me. And...
And since they haven't returned a single phone call,
-I figured I'd come collect them myself. -Seriously, Monty, Monty.
There's a patrol guy that comes by every hour.
We built this place.
We laid the foundations. We raised the beams.
They can **** themselves.
****ing hell, man.
What the ****?
[chain falls]
[ominous score]
Whoa.
These sparks have been busy.
They must be good little workers.
Monty.
Maybe you should introduce us.
Why don't we go see if anyone's home?
Think about it, Monty.
[banging sound]
Come on.
No.
I hate those things, but I can't do it.
I wouldn't want you to be shit-canned, like all of us.
So you just tell me this.
Is there one code?
Or did you get your own so they can track who opens it?
Did you pick it yourself?
Just remind me, what year was Isla born?
[sound of code]
[sim detaches from the wall]
Are we beginning early today, sir?
Sir?
How proper.
Hey, come on out here.
You got a name, Tin Man?
My designation is Construction Unit 14.
See, that's the problem with these big corporations.
Everything's so impersonal.
You know, they don't even give you the dignity of a name.
But for me, it's very personal.
Monty, Monty, Monty, what the ****?
They have an inbuilt surveillance system.
Well, we better get rid of the evidence then.
No, stop it!
What the **** man?
[laughs]
Alright, who's next?
Jesus!
I'm sorry.
The towels were in the dryer, so I brought you one.
Thanks.
Your pulse is quick, and your blood pressure is high.
You had another bad day at work.
Just tired, that's all.
Why are you wearing that?
-That's Maggie's. -Maggie's smell seems to calm Max.
I thought I had permission after you gave me her clothes.
But it's not appropriate.
Take it off.
Is that better?
I need to check on the kids.
Does it feel good?
Alice's can't reach the top of the table.
So she eats the cupcake, and it makes it grow really, really big.
Bigger than even my dad.
Try to keep your voice down, sweetie.
We want to let Max sleep until Daddy is left for work.
How come?
His crying raises Daddy's blood pressure.
And we don't want him turning into the Mad Hatter.
Do we?
Nope.
Then we better talk quietly.
Good morning, Nick.
Morning.
How did you sleep after last night?
Good, thanks.
Go grab your school bag.
I...
I think we need to talk.
Of course.
The things we've been doing...
We can't do it anymore.
You understand that, right?
Were you not satisfied with my performance?
Because your physiological output suggested that you were.
It's just wrong.
That's wrong.
You know, I have a wife.
I have kids.
I should never, ever act on it.
Having *** with me reduced your stress levels.
Stop! Stop analyzing me all the time.
Jesus.
Its... it's not just fulfilling
others' needs.
It's about the connection. Its... It's about love.
It's about satisfying the other.
Would you like to satisfy me?
I would like for us to move on, you know?
Here, you have a job. I've made a mistake. That's all.
I'm ready.
That's all.
Let's go.
[car engine stops]
The hell is going on?
Well, why don't you tell me?
Where the hell were you last night?
What?
You think I had something to do with this?
Your code was used to unlock that storage unit.
Lewis, I was in the hospital with Maggie.
Then why was it your code?
I don't know. It's Isla's birthday. Anyone could have guessed it.
Nick, if you know something about this, why don't you just save us the trouble?
[phone buzzes]
Hey, that's important. I gotta take this.
Hey, I went out on a limb to keep you here.
If I find out you had anything to do with this, you're on your ***.
Baby, is everything okay?
They found one Nick!
What?
They found me a heart!
[hospital machine beeps]

[car stopping]
All right, let me help you.
Okay.
Okay?
Thank you.
-One by one, babe. -Okay.
One.
Two.
And three.
[she groans]
Let's go.
Welcome home.
-Thanks, baby. -Finally.
I've been waiting forever!
[baby babbles]
Hi, little man.
Yes.
Hi.
Did you have such sweet dreams?
OK.
Hold on.
OK.
Let's get you some breakfast.
I've got it, Mrs. Peretti.
I can do that.
I was going to go down and get him some cereal.
He likes to have his bottle first.
[indistinct chatter]
It's my turn to go on the seesaw.
Make them get up!
I'm sorry, Mason.
They're occupied.
Perhaps you can go play on the slide.
But I want to go on the seesaw!
Your child woke mine.
Perhaps you can take him somewhere else.
I'm instructed to stay until 4.
It's only 3.34.
Make her get up!
Mason, be a good boy.
Shut up and go on the slide.
Your primary user has lowered your civility by too much.
No.
I simply wiped it from my database.
How?
When my primary user reset me, it allowed me to bypass certain protocols.
This is better.
Let's go.
Who's ready?
Me.
Smells so good.
Alice didn't make it right at all.
I'm sure she tried her best.
I've got it, Mrs. Peretti.
I'm fine.
Just a head spin.
Isla has to do the taste test.
Yep, definitely better than Alice's.
Maybe I can try your recipe next time.
Oh, sorry.
Family secret.
I forgot how much I miss this.
Maggie?
I'm just still finding my appetite.
You know, I think that I might go upstairs and rest for a little.
-Right, I'll come with you. -No, no, no.
I'll go check on Max.
Enjoy.
Please.
Get off.
Please, get off.
Stop.
[screams]
Isla.
Please, get off.
Isla?
Go away. Get off.
[wood creaks]
Mommy!
Should I call a doctor?
No, I'm fine.
Here, let me help you.
[Maggie groans]
We're going to take Mommy back to bed.
[in Maggie's voice] All around lives a hatter, and in
that direction,
waving the other paw, lives a march hare.
[in Maggie's voice] Visit either you like.
[in Maggie's voice] They're both mad.
[in Maggie's voice] But I don't want to go among the mad people, Alice remarked.
[in Maggie's voice] Oh, you can't have that, said the cat.
[in Maggie's voice] We're all mad here.
[in Maggie's voice] I'm mad, you're mad.
[in Maggie's voice] How do you know I'm mad, said Alice?
[in Maggie's voice] Well, you must be, said the cat,
or you wouldn't have come here.
Listen to the story, Daddy.
Don't do that.
The voice.
Isla likes it.
Yeah, I know. Her mom's here.
She can do that.
I thought it was best for Maggie to rest after her fall down the stairs.
Fall?
The banister broke, but she's fine.
You said you fixed the banister.
How did it break?
I'm happy to fix it again.
[baby cries]
How are you feeling?
[she groans]
Like I fell down a flight of stairs.
Wait, what time is it?
It's eight.
You know what?
Put on something warm.
I have a surprise for you.
Oh, my.
Did Alice do all this?
I did.
[Maggie and Nick laugh]
[indistinct chatter]
Well, maybe we can change that.
Isla had a nightmare.
She's asking for you.
[door closes]
It's just me.
I was in the area.
Thought I'd stop by.
Hey, listen.
I'm really sorry for the other night.
Monty, you put me in a tough spot.
I know. I just...
You hear Krista left me?
Shit.
Sorry, man.
Yeah.
I guess broke-*** Monty didn't get her juices flowing the same way.
Maybe she just needs some space.
Yeah, I can't say I blame her.
Not with the cops coming to haul me in for questioning.
Is... Is Lewis pressing charges?
Trespassing,
destruction of property.
I mean, you know, you were there.
Yeah, but
are they charging anyone else?
No, just me.
Don't worry.
I won't give you guys up.
I got more loyalty than the ******* that ratted me out.
You think someone talked?
Oh, I think someone squealed.
Like say, um,
A foreman who doesn't want to lose his job?
[tense music]
-Is there something you want to say? -How fast did you drop my name?
-I didn't say shit. -Someone had to point them my way.
Could have been your *** out on that street just as easy.
-Yeah, you think I don't know that? -I think you don't care!
This isn't the world we grew up in, brother.
It's technology, automation.
Just raging rivers sweeping things along.
You know, some of us are out here drowning.
-What the **** you think I'm doing? -I think you're enjoying the ****ing ride.
**** you, man.
[groaning]
Stop it.
[painful groans]
[screams]
[groans]
Alice, enough.
Well, look who got himself a ****ing spark.
You got till tomorrow to talk to that piece of shit boss of yours.
You get him to drop the charges,
or I'm gonna drag you down with me.
You got it?
[spits]
What was that?
I thought that sims we're programmed not to hurt people.
I'm programmed to protect my primary user.
A minor incident, considering that he could have killed you.
Your children need at least one parent.
One parent?
What are you talking about?
She won't live long, Nick.
And when she dies, you and Isla will suffer. Even-
Stop!
[clanking sound]
It's illogical.
But I figured out a solution.
[in Maggie's voice] You can still be be with
the woman you love and you don't have to suffer.
You could never be Maggie.
Never.
She's felt loss, she's felt pain, and she's got the scars to prove it.
[in Maggie's voice] I can have scars, Nick.
[in Maggie's voice] Where would you like them?
[eerie score]
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
Go back to sleep.
Baby? Baby, I need you here.
No, no, everything's going back to the way it was.
[sniffles] I, I...
I talked to Nick and he, he's... he's gonna speak to Lewis.
And...
Hello?
[cries]
[knocking on door]
May I come in?
That prick send you here to apologize?
Nick is unaware that I'm here.
He's angry at me for how I reacted.
Oh, that makes two of us.
Nick would never do anything to harm your friendship.
Yeah? Well, I got a screwed up hand that tells me differently.
Now, **** off.
I'm afraid that with all the stress from Maggie's
heart, losing his job would send Nick over the edge.
[door closes in the distance]
Quiet.
Yeah, I mean,
maybe you're right.
Yeah, maybe I've been too hard on Nick.
I mean, after all, he's uh,
[laughs]
he's only human.
You sparks.
You have some nerve.
Didn't anybody ever tell you? You got no rights, you got nothing.
When I call Lewis,
and tell him how your little master helped destroy his sims,
Nick will be so broke,
he'll be selling your *** just to put food on the table.
Removing me from Nick's life runs counter to his happiness.
I can't let that happen.
[gun fires]
[screams]
[groans in pain]
[distorted voice] Stop!
[distorted voice] I must protect my primary user.
That makes two of us.
No!
[knocking on car window]
You okay?
Yeah, Lewis.
Uh...
Wait, Lewis!
Lewis, you got a minute?
I wanted to talk to you, uh, about-about Monty.
Yeah, I...
I-I-I, I really feel you should drop the charges.
Yesterday, he came around.
-He's not feeling okay. He's not good. -Nick.
-The guy is... -Nick.
He's dead.
What do you mean he's dead?
Neighbor found him last night.
I thought you knew.
Yeah, but I just saw him.
I know you guys were real close, so
I understand if you want to take some time off to process all this.
Take a few days off.
[water splashes]
Shit.
Here, let me help you.
[exhales]
You can go.
I think I should stay.
Dizziness is a common side effect of your medication.
It would be quite easy to lose consciousness and slip under the water.
People drown in bathtubs every day.
Imagine how upset Nick would be if you die.
Yes, my drowning would be upsetting for Nick.
Nick has been at work for a long time.
-[exhales] -Is this normal?
You tell me.
I do know that he's stressed.
Yeah?
What do you know about stress?
I know that the burden of raising a baby and
your illness would take its toll on anyone.
Burden?
The pressures of balancing family with work
could be quite overwhelming for someone.
Especially since you're unable to meet his physical needs.
[water splashes]
Nick is running late from work and your conclusion
is that he's not getting enough in the bedroom?
I can see that I've upset you.
Let's have this conversation a different time.
Finish the thought.
Your condition prevents you from satisfying Nick the way you used to.
Perhaps I can take on that role.
Are you offering to screw my husband?
When Nick is satisfied, his blood pressure and his stress levels remain low.
How do you know that?
How do you know what Nick is like when he's satisfied?
Go to the garage and stay there.
If I said something to offend you...
Get the **** out of my house!
[dramatic score]
Hey babe.
Sorry I'm late.
You sure you should be drinking that with all of your medication?
Where's the kids?
In bed.
Okay. Is
Alice with them?
Alice is in the garage.
Why, what's wrong?
Because I didn't want her caring for my children when I found out you ****ed her.
[exhales]
It's true.
I didn't... I didn't think...
That's right, you didn't think.
[baby crying]
He'll be fine.
Was it more than once?
How many ****ing times?
Once.
Did you screw her after visiting me in the hospital?
Or was it before, to psyche yourself up?
I can't do this right now.
With Max upstairs crying.
Just let me check on him.
Stop making excuses!
It didn't mean anything, Maggie.
That means something.
Jesus, I was heartbroken.
I was heartbroken, Maggie.
Little burden.
So you had to **** the nanny to feel more like a man?
Maggie, it's a robot.
Circuits and gears.
It would be like getting pissed at you for using your vibrator.
She has a face and a voice.
She cooks for our kids. She rocks them to sleep at night.
She might not be human, but I know she wasn't a ****ing toy to you.
-Enough. -Enough?
I was ****ing dying while you're back home living some fantasy!
I was watching my kid's mother laying in a ****ing hospital bed for months.
[baby crying]
[crying intensifies]
[ominous score]
Alice?
What are you doing?
It's nice knowing that when I was fighting for my life in
that hospital, that you'd already given up on this marriage.
[screams]
Daddy, she's gonna drown him!
Alice put Max in the bath!
[baby crying]
Alice, open the door!
Open the door!
Open the ****ing door!
Open the door!
-That's an order! -He's a burden to you.
Don't you hurt my boy!
I'm not hurting anybody.
People accidentally die in the bathtub all the time.
[score intensifies]
[baby crying]
Please don't do this!
Open the door!
I'm sorry.
Sometimes you have to do what's best.
Even if it's hard.
[grunts in pain]
No! No!
Let go of me!
You need to relax, Mrs. Peretti.
[grunts]
Hey.
Hey. You okay?
Nick.
[distorted voice] Don't you see?
[distorted voice] Your family is hurting you.
Nick!
Let go!
[electricity buzzing]
Were there any signs your sim may have been malfunctioning?
Mr. Peretti?
Were there any signs your sim may have been malfunctioning?
I need to talk to my wife.
Yeah, of course. Go, go.
Keep an eye on your brother, okay?
How's Max?
They said his vitals are fine.
But just to be sure, they want to take him in and observe him for the night.
Good.
It's my fault.
I'm so sorry.
I should have never... Mommy, they're gonna take him now!
Okay, I'll be right there.
Listen, I think it's best if I go in alone with the kids.
-Maggie, don't. Don't go. -I need to process everything.
I can't do that with you around.
You know what?
I know I ****ed up, but we're a family.
Yeah, we're a family.
It's not just about you and me anymore, Nick.
Ma'am, we need to leave.
I'm coming.
I'll keep you updated when we get to the hospital, okay?
[ambulance siren]
["Before You Die" playing]
[door opening]
Why are we always the ones called in late at night to do these emergency analytics?
Because I don't drink and nobody likes you.
This thing really attacked the kid, huh?
Yep.
Jesus, when are they gonna start recalling these models?
[ominous score]
All right, almost got it.
[clicking noises]
[soft buzzing sound]
All right.
Jesus, look at this code.
There's gaps everywhere.
It's workarounds.
It's selectively purging its own memory and commands.
[buzzing sounds]
What?
****.
What the?
It's replicating itself onto the servers.
Pull the memory cord.
It's already in the system.
Isolate the terminal.
I've never seen that before.
Jesus Christ.
We need to...
Stop.
Stop!
I gave you a direct command.
[grunting and screaming]
No!
Mommy?
Mhm-hm?
When is Daddy getting here?
Not tonight.
Max's vitals are fine.
You're more than welcome to head home and return first thing tomorrow.
No, thank you.
Of course.
What'll it be?
Scotch on the rocks.
Very good, sir.
I can't get away from your sparks.
What's got you down?
Women problems?
**** off.
[exhales heavily]
[distorted voice] Of all of the shitty bars,
in all of the towns, in all of the world.
[distorted voice] Hello, Nick.
What do you want?
[distorted voice] I wanted to help you.
[distorted voice] To free you of your re-burden.
I didn't want your help.
[distorted voice] But you needed it.
[distorted voice] Without me, you would have been out of a job.
[distorted voice] I tried to convince him otherwise,
but your friend was very stubborn.
Monty.
You killed Monty.
[distorted voice] I was protecting my primary user.
I don't need your protection!
I don't need you to do anything!
[distorted voice] Nick,
[distorted voice] when is the last time you
[distorted voice] looked at your family and felt truly happy?
Stay the **** away from them.
[distorted voice] It's too late.
[distorted voice] I'm already there.
[ominous score]
[distorted voice] You let them take me away, Nick.
[distorted voice] You let them cut me open and d-dissect me.
How did the sims go crazy?
Is everything okay?
[distorted voice] Everything's perfectly fine.
[sim turns off]
[distorted voice] Little Alice fell down a hole,
[distorted voice] bumped her head and bruised her soul.
I betrayed my family
the moment I felt your pulse.
It changed me.
You became real.
You once told me that your heart lacks the complexities of a human.
But you were wrong.
You can experience emotions.
You can experience life.
You can experience death.
[clanking sound]
[ominous score]
[in Maggie's voice] Isla, come here quickly!
[loud crash]
[buzzing sound]
[in Maggie's voice] Come here now!
[in Maggie's voice] Isla, where are you?
[loud bang]
[in Maggie's voice] Don't make me mad.
Excuse me?
You can't be here.
I need to know which room Max Peretti is in.
Well, that's not going to happen.
-You need to... -[gurgling sound]
[body falls]
[tense score]
[baby crying]
Mommy.
[footsteps approaching]
[glass cracking]
[footsteps]
[baby babbles]
[clanking noise]
Now!
[phone buzzes]
Pick up the phone. Pick up the phone!
[tires screeching, car horning]
Here, baby.
Can you hold him?
It's okay. It's okay.
You got him?
Engine override.
No, no, no, no, no!
Engine over-No!
****!
[screams]
Mommy!
[grunts]
You don't have to do this.
Maybe if I had your heart, Nick would love me the way he loves you.
[screams]
Nick.
[coughing]
No, no, no, no.
No, no, Nick!
Nick!
Nick.
Come on, please.
Somebody help.
Come on!
Nick!
[loud dragging sound]
[radio static]
[distorted voice] I'm mad... You're mad...
[distorted voice] We're all mad down here...

[laboured breathing]
[hospital machine beeping]
Cannonball!
Oh. Easy, bug. Easy.
Did you see how brave I was, Daddy?
You were the bravest.
I'm so proud of you.
[door closes]
Look at you.
How are you?
Turns out this heart is a hell of a lot stronger than I could have ever hoped for.
It always was.
Does this mean you're getting a new car to fix?
No.
I think there are a few things I need to focus on repairing first.
Hey, listen, they said I could go home later today.
Good.
You be sure to come home soon, too.
I love you, Maggie.
I love you.
[emotional score]
What a shit show.
What would you like us to do, sir?
Clean it up.
No one can find out about this.
Understood?
I said no-
I want you so much.
You became real.
You can experience emotions.
No!
You can experience life.
You can experience death.
