EPISODE 2 "MISTRUSTED MARIE"
Where are the chairs?!
Don't you realize we'll have elderly
guests and guests with children?!
Huh? I could've sworn I got some out
Sorry about that.
You reported earlier that
they were already in place.
You're fired!
Arthur, the heir to a corporate empire,
detests lies as much as he detests people.
Now there's the pride of the Zetes
Corporation, Marie the robot maid!
You should all learn from her example!
In truth, Marie is an ordinary human,
doomed to die if her secret gets out.
This is their story.
MODEL, ACTRESS, DOCTOR, LAWYER, STYLIS
ACCOUNTANT, BANKER,
ATHLETES, ACTRESS, DIET MEMBER
Rich socialites as far as the eye can see.
I should have expected as much
of a Zetes garden party.
This party is vital. My father left hosting it
in my hands while he's away on business.
As his successor,
I can't afford to mess up here.
You can count on me to take
out anyone suspicious.
I plan to, but I have an even
more important job for you.
And what is that, sir?
Take out any green peppers for me.
They don't agree with me.
Understood.
I will dispose of them
so that no one finds out.
You're a lifesaver.
Arthur!
Aunt Rusty.
Hi there, Arthur. Long time no see.
What an incredible aura. Who are they?
I thought he was feuding
with his whole family.
Mr. Carl Rusty and Mrs. Charlotte Rusty
are on the young master's side.
Thank you kindly for coming today.
Don't stand on ceremony, Arthur.
You look like something good's happened.
You can't fool my eyes.
Now, tell me all about it, Arthur.
I guess I'm no match for you.
She's finally complete.
The full might of the Zetes Corporation
went into this robot maid, Marie.
Well, I'll be. A robot maid, eh?
My, how charming!
Her skin is so smooth. She even has pores.
Exquisitely detailed, isn't she?
Yes. I'd never believe she was a robot.
I-Is she onto me?
Marie, take these plates.
And be quick about it.
Y-Yes, sir!
Would you look at that!
Marie, move these glasses next.
Yes, sir.
No human's got that kind of balance.
She uses seismic isolation technology.
Okay. Now, where's Arthur?
He might not be the only intruder.
M-Master?
I had no idea playing host
would be so draining.
The master is feeling down.
This is the most I can do,
but I still want to repay him any way I can.
Thank you, Marie.
Marie?
You appear to have recovered,
so I will return to the party.
Wait. Stay with me a little longer.
I am currently configured
to prioritize party-related tasks.
Excuse me.
Marie
There we are. I've been looking for you.
A "robot," is she?
Why did my heart suddenly start pounding?
Marie, those guests need water.
Yes, sir.
Hey!
Please forgive me. I'll replace it at once.
Hold it. That's a pitcher.
Huh?
My apologies.
That's enough. Just go.
I'll cause problems for the
master if I keep this up.
Once I hit this detonator switch,
Arthur will rest in pieces,
and I'll get paid.
My switch!
Wh-Wh-Wha
What?!
The maid's gone berserk!
She's a menace! Run for it!
It's the robot maid!
Is that her?!
What should I do?
The party's ruined, and it's all my fault.
Please pardon the disturbance.
It appears that this man planted a bomb.
How frightening!
My maid took action to protect
you all from the intruder.
Thank you, Marie.
You're a maid to be proud of.
- Whoa!
- Awesome!
Arthur sure trusts that robot maid,
doesn't he?
Perhaps she'll be the cure to his misanthropy.
Damn it!
That cold robot maid got in the way again.
I swear I'll get you next time, Arthur!
Wh-What the—
Oh, I knew you'd look just
as lovely out of uniform.
I'm so glad I ordered that dress.
Now that the party is over,
we can finally be alone.
We should enjoy this moment.
Don't you like it?
I'm very sorry for spoiling
your party today, sir.
You did your best all day long.
You even got rid of the green peppers.
Thank you, Marie.
I saw how hard you worked.
What a wonderful master.
I wish I could work for him forever.
You're lucky, Marie. You don't have to eat.
Human refueling does seem burdensome.
Speaking of which, what do you run on?
U-Um
AA batteries, I think.
Really?
Of course not!
What do I do?! He's gonna figure me out for—
AA batteries, you say? I see.
He bought it!
But right now
you look just like a human girl.
M-Marie?
What now?!
He definitely knows I'm human!
How am I supposed to face the master now?
Although it was dark.
He didn't see my face.
I hope!
I could blame pushing him away
on a malfunction.
Good morning, Marie.
Huh? Don't tell me yesterday
didn't faze him at all.
She always says "good morning" back.
What's wrong, Marie?
You don't seem yourself.
I knew it! He's suspicious!
C-C-C-Calm down, Marie.
Acting rattled will only make
us more suspicious!
Listen, Marie, is it possible you're
- I've got to bluff!
- We'll bluff him!
Am I what, sir?
I guess I'll find out
if I replicate last night.
I can't lose my cool!
What has come over you, sir?
Er, I'd like to take my coffee in my study.
Stare
Is that heavy? I can carry it for you.
INEXPLICABLY CHIVALROUS BEHAVIOR
When did he get here?
He's trying to catch me off my game
and get proof.
He's so close!
I have to act even more robotic than usual.
I will clean the hallway windows next.
Clank, clank, clank
Clankity-clank, clank, clank, clank, clank
Act like a robot!

Marie, we need to talk.
Marie, as of today, you're fired as a maid.
B-But why, Roy?
The young master has been eyeing
you with suspicion since yesterday.
It's only a matter of time
until he learns the truth.
But then
Don't worry.
I'll make sure you're provided for.
Far, far away from here.
Right.
We can't stay together
if he catches me in this lie.
I promise he won't find out. So please
The young master has grown fond of you.
It will hurt all the worse
when the truth comes out.
And it can't be easy for you
to keep up this lie either.
It's all right.
I already have a plan.
I've upgraded Marie the robot maid.
Meet your new and improved robot maid.
Come in.
Excuse me.
It is a pleasure to meet you, sir.
I am your upgraded robot maid,
superior to Marie in every way.
Marie 2, at your service.
Superior in every way?
It is my pleasure to serve you.
Thwack.
Marie 2 is outfitted
with the utmost lethal capabilities.
No maid could be more fit to serve you, sir.
Fit to serve me?
This is for the best.
Playing music for the
Master Arthur-exclusive head-in-lap system.
I've arranged for a car.
Go before the young master spots you.
I'll wash the maid outfit and return it later.
Keep it as a memento.
No.
It would be painful to hold on to.
It brings back too many memories.
Honestly, I wanted
to spend longer at his side.
It was only for a short while,
but thank you for your hard work.
I appreciate all you've done for me.
Marie!
Master.
I knew it!
I thought something was up
when Roy brought me a new
robot maid out of the blue.
Tell me.
You're hiding something, aren't you?
I believe you have a new robot maid, sir.
A perfect robot made, far superior to me.
Surely you don't need me anymore.
Yes, she is an ideal robot maid,
even more capable than you.
But
It's just not the same.
I can't be satisfied with just any robot maid.
I
Sir, I have been looking for you.
Marie 2
My combat scouter detects danger.
Ultrahigh-combat-potential individual
confirmed within five meters of your person.
Threat level five.
Both of you, please stand back.
Fwip.
Shing.
Now eliminating.
Marie!
Now eliminating.
She's strong Stronger than me!
Master Arthur!
Marie, are you hurt?!
Sir, your back
Now eliminating.
A piece of junk that hurts Master Arthur
has no right
to be his maid!
Marie!
Sir, how is your back?
Don't worry about me.
More importantly
Marie, I know everything.
You've been acting strange lately because
you're malfunctioning, aren't you?
And you asked Roy to dispatch
Marie 2 in order to hide it.
Am I wrong?
I'll pay whatever it takes
for your maintenance, so—
I'm already fixed.
Wait, already?
That was quick.
The master really will buy
anything when it comes to me.
Stay with me always, Marie.
I want to stay with him forever.
It will be a pleasure
to work with you again, Marie.
Despite everything, I haven't seen the young
master smile like you made him in ages.
Thank you.
It was nothing.
I'll work harder than ever and make
sure the truth never gets out.
Speaking of which
Marie 2!
Reassembly and maintenance complete.
Both my hardware and software have been
upgraded to the latest versions.
I'd like you to guard the young
master together going forward.
Together?
It is my pleasure to work with you.
Will Marie compete with Marie 2, a real
robot maid, for Arthur's affections?
Is this the start of a love triangle?
Not in a million years!
I hope you'll work well together.

Marie, you can't recharge
yourself with AA batteries,
and as of now, you do not
have a "girlfriend mode"!
Wait, Noah?
