Wow.
What am I thinking right now?
That this is weird.
This is weird.
- This isn't weird, this is awesome.
- Oh!
What's going on here?
Why are there two of me?
They've restored you from a backup.
- [Nathan] But that's illegal. Is he…?
- [Nora] More muscular?
- Barely.
- That's not what I was gonna say at all.
You're downloading the AI into a clone?
Imagine how fast the program will improve
after experience
in the real world.
[horn blaring]
[all gasp]
No worries. We've got more clones.
[Aleesha] Let's try this again.
I live here.
On the street? It's too bright here. Here.
That hat was our only way of tracking him.
- Will you marry…
- No. No.
I have been dreaming of this moment for,
like, ten years
and in my dreams I am not wearing this!
What's up, bro?
- Where are you?
- Oh, just hanging out with real Nathan.
I'm real Nathan.
[laughs] I meant fake Nate.
Oh, I'm always switching you guys up now.
[Nora] Your Nathan is deeply
in love with you.
My Nathan has a fixation with Quebec
which we're going to explore.
But they belong to Horizen, not us.
Are there two Nathans, Miss Kannerman?
[Oliver] Nathan Brown,
the guy we killed?
There's at least four billionaires
in that room.
Choak is in bed
with the upload companies and they
control Freeyond.
- [officer] Freeze!
- [Nora] Go!
I'm sorry, you're gonna have to
come with us.
- [handcuffs clicking]
- Ow!
Those bastards brought us down
to one person.
I saw other Nathan, they destroyed him.
What?! Oh, my God! [screaming]
Wait! Wait.
Which one are you?
[gentle music playing]
[officiant speaks French]
You have the rings?
He does.
You have the rings. You have the rings.
Right?
[whispers] I thought you had the rings.
Oh, my God.
- What?
- Nathan.
- I… Oh, hold on.
- You…
Yeah. No. I got the rings.
[chuckles]
And you say, "With this ring, I thee wed."
With this ring,
I thee wed.
Hey.
[crying]
What's wrong?
- [Nora continues crying]
- I thought you'd be happy.
Hey.
[music distorting]
[Nathan] I thought you'd be happy.
[knock on door]
[Aleesha] Hey, honey, just… checking in.
[Ingrid] We made dinner.
There's a plate for you.
We'll leave it outside.
Whenever you want, just…
give a shout.
Or any sound.
[Ingrid] Should I just leave it
on the floor?
[female voice] Simulation unpaused.

Oh, yay!
There she is.
We were just, you know, passing through.
Mm-hmm. Thinking about our best girl Nora.
Like… what's she up to today?
Maybe a shower or laundry? [gasps]
Oh, maybe both.
Here's a subtle reminder,
my bachelorette is tonight,
and I would love it if you came.
Might be good for you
to finally leave the apartment.
You know, maybe have a drink,
maybe a laugh.
- Maybe a shower? Did we already say that?
- Mm-hmm.
We miss your smile.
- There it is. Aw, look at you…
- Little.
- [Aleesha] …lighting up the room.
- [Ingrid] And no pressure.
You don't have to sing or make a toast.
Just come and slump in the corner.
I'll try.
Uh, better, um, get back to it.
Get back to what?
- I…
- [Nora] Oh, my God, Nathan,
these flowers are so beautiful.
- Oh, boy.
- [exhales]
I guess she'll shed
those goggles in her own time.
- Let's hope.
- [Ivan] You know what they say,
the best way
to get over your ex
is to get under your next.
Which, I could be her next, if you guys
think, like, that's a good idea.
- I think it would kill her.
- [laughs] Dope.
- Don't.
- What?
Ivan, I will take your rent money, but
when I am physically in this apartment,
you do not cross into a shared space.
She's in a shared space.
Yeah, but I am not disgusting.
As soon as I can max out my 401(k),
both of you are on the street.
- [laughs] Me, Aleesha?
- [Aleesha] Yes!
[classical music playing]
Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '96,
today, your life begins.
My name is Meryl Street,
and I'm telling you to make your bed.
You call those wedding vows?
- Those are shit.
- Yeah, uh, they could be better.
Okay, can you come up with something
that will make Ingrid happy,
but is also honest
about our complicated past?
I think you're gonna
have to pick one, man.
[Luke] No, that was a great prompt.
Come on.
This is important.
These are Nathan's fucking vows!
Nate, don't you worry
your pretty little head.
As your best man and officiant,
I will handle everything.
[lively music playing]
[door opens]
- [door closes]
- What else you got?
[sighs, laughs]
[sighs]
Great.
[sighs] Angel.
[exclaims]
You called me.
[sighs] Did you get me that
employee discount on my top hats?
No, but I have been…
Jesus Christ, do you even care
about this wedding?
It's like I'm out here entirely on my own.
I have four outfit changes,
and I am sewing up a fifth.
I just have my one dress.
- And you think that's enough?
- It's all I can afford.
And marrying Nathan is enough.
Ugh! You're stressing me out.
You're stressing me out.
Can I speak to your manager?
I need to talk to Aleesha. Ring, ring.
- Put her through, Angel.
- Aleesha's an EVP now.
She manages, like, 2,000 floors.
She is unreachable to the likes of you.
Ugh. I knew she felt weird after our kiss.
[laughs] I'm sorry, it sounded like
- you said you kissed Aleesha.
- Yeah.
And she's been kind of sort of
avoiding me ever since.
Juicy. Well,
either she's in love with you
and can't deal, or
you're a terrible kisser
and she's saving you the embarrassment.
It's the first one.
Of course it is, little man.
- Knock, knock, roomie.
- Can't talk.
I have got a senior meeting
on floor seven.
Oh, what's on floor seven? HR?
'Cause you kissed Luke?
[chuckles] He's telling people
about that now.
Man, he has got a big mouth.
And I bet he knows how to use it.
I'm too busy for this.
But not too busy to come
to my bachelorette, right?
- I thought you were a guaranteed yes.
- I believe I said I would try to stop by.
I'm certain you did, so now it's a fact,
and a fact is a promise.
And a promise is a pancake,
and a pancake is a fishtank.
- I can say words too, Ingrid.
- Okay,
but without you and Nora,
it's looking a little bleak.
- [elevator bell dings]
- Have fun on seven!
[mysterious music playing]
[passing siren wailing]
[electronic trilling, beeps]
[laughs] Okay, we packing.
Energy bills from
all Horizen-Betta locations.
Why do you need it?
Any sign of their new secret project
in download tech? OMI wants details.
Not yet, but I will keep my eyes open.
Where do you think you are going?
My roommate is having
a bachelorette party, and I…
No. You don't get to have a life.
You took out our top agent when you
got Karina fired. We own your ass.
Yeah, well, this ass is free-range.
We had a choice to murder you
or to bring you into our organization,
and Karina begged us to bring you in.
She said that you would take to this life,
that you're highly intelligent,
you enjoy risk, and you yearn
to be exceptional.
And the alternative is being murdered.
- So are we good?
- Yeah.
Good. Now, don't forget to fill out
your start paperwork.
When can I see Karina?
Oh, Karina. We had to kill her,
- but it was for something else.
- What?
No, no, no. [laughs]
We sent her scuba diving.
She's on a scuba diving trip,
which she loves.
[sighs]
- You are calm now?
- [sighs, chuckles] Yeah.
Time for you to train with Mr. Chu.
What the fuck?!
- Oh, my God!
- We did it!
- [sighs, laughs]
- Oh.
[gentle music playing]
- I love you. Mm.
- I love you, too. Mwah.
- Okay. Honeymoon. Where do you want to go?
- Yeah.
I know where you want to go.
Hawaii is the number one ranked
honeymoon destination for people under 40.
He wouldn't talk like that.
Just act like real Nathan.
Hawaii is the number one ranked
- honeymoon destination for…
- Ugh, come on.
[Roomba whirring]
You used to be hot.
Now you just make more work for Monique.
Get out of the shared space.
Both of you!
[Ivan] Save your energy, babe.
- She's in a mood.
- Ugh!
[somber music playing]
[female voice] Replay VR fantasy?
Replay VR fantasy?
[Nathan] Nora.
- Nora.
- [Nora] Nathan?
- [gasps]
- Nora.
Is that you?
Oh, my God. I found you.
I miss you.
I miss you. I miss you so much.
- I miss you, too.
- I thought you were dead.
[dramatic music playing]
Oh.
Did you want to go to Hawaii
for a honeymoon?
No. Mile End.
- Remember? Montreal.
- Oh, my God.
It's really you. [laughs]
Nathan? Nathan?
Nathan!
[sighs]
[somber music playing]
I'm losing my mind.
[lighthearted music playing]
- Angel?
- You rang?
[giggles]
Remember, don't "angel" me tomorrow.
It's bad luck for the groom
to see his bride the day of the wedding.
I just wanted to see you
before I hit the town with the boys.
And you finished your vows, right?
Mine are really, really good.
They're funny, they're moving,
timeless, yet modern
and… [imitates explosion] profound.
Me, too.
- Oh, that's great.
- Mm-hmm.
Okay, well, behave yourself, okay?
No cheating on each other
until after we get…
- [both] Our reality show.
- I know. I know.
Seriously, you have nothing
to worry about.
Tonight is gonna be super chill.
[upbeat music playing]
- [Ingrid] Oh, my God.
- Party time!
- Yeah!
- No!
[Luke] Whoo!
- See you.
- Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
One second, one single second, could be
the difference between life or death.
You must learn to fight.
Pass. I'm an office spy.
I'll be transferring shit to ring drives,
inside, looking terrific.
And if Horizen security sees you and
tries to kill you, how will you escape?
I'll seduce them.
- [grunts]
- [screams]
They're in a committed relationship.
It didn't work.
[exciting music playing]
Put these on.
[beeping]
Uh…
[shouting]
[exclaims]
Ooh!
Fun.
Ooh… Ooh.
You okay, Mr. Chu?
Nora?
You're back. [laughs]
I didn't know if you'd be back.
- I'm back.
- Yay! [laughs]
I don't know how long I have, though.
Uh…
Mm. What do you want to do? Sing?
Dance? Um, play Word Cookies?
- No. No, let's just talk.
- Okay.
- This is a nice place.
- It's Aleesha's. Flatiron District.
[wistful music playing]
- How have you been?
- Uh…
You look, um…
I'll shower. I'll shower.
I was gonna shower,
- like, any day now.
- Maybe a small shower.
Yeah. Just like… Yeah. Mm-hmm.
You look incredible.
- I want to touch you so bad.
- Me, too.
[printer beeps]
My Cricket-O's are ready.
- You know, it can wait.
- Can it?
I don't need to eat.
Go get your Cricket-O's.
- You won't go away?
- No.
- Stay here.
- I'll try.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
Don't move. Oh.
Ooh. Okay.
I'm back.
- Hi.
- Hi.

Ooh, um, let's play a game.
Oh, everyone say the weirdest thing
they know about
Nathan and Ingrid's relationship.
- Oh.
- That it's ending in marriage.
Okay.
Call Nora.
[line rings]
Hey, girl. Are you coming?
I could use an actual friend.
I'm really sorry, Ingrid. I can't.
I have… someone over.
Oh. That's wonderful.
Bring them. If they're real. [laughs]
I so wish I could.
- Sorry.
- You're still coming to the wedding,
though, right?
Nora?
Lost her.
She sometimes has imaginary friends.
- [laughs]
- Mm.
[dance music playing]
Remember, guys, our only goal tonight
is to make love to Nathan Brown.
Um, what?
Make Nathan Brown feel loved.
What did you, what did you hear?
- What did you hear?
- Nothing. Sounds good.
- It's loud. Yeah. Any questions?
- Yeah.
Who are all these people?
The sinister six. Next question.
How are we "the sinister six"?
There's 11 of us.
I know that, Lionel.
That's what makes it so sinister.
Tonight is about… Anyone?
A night where there are no rules.
Anything can be put into anything.
- No. No, it's not…
- Dead-dead-dead-dead wrong. Dead wrong.
Love. We are all here tonight
to show love to Nathan
because we are his closest friends.
Me, Horny Mildred,
Ivan the terrible, Dylan the perv,
Mr. Mc-Grump-et,
Ernie the therapist dog…
a very good boy…
the Gordita Crunch Taco Head Ad,
two AI guys for good luck,
and penis-less guy.
My name is not "penis-less guy."
But you don't have a penis.
- You're not wrong.
- [Gordita Crunch Taco Head] I hope Nathan
has a scrumptious night tonight.
Thank you. Oh, goddamn it, not him.
As scrumptious as the Nokia
Taco Bell Gordita Crunch.
Okay, can we not advertise
during my bachelor party.
Your bachelor party is sponsored
by Gordita Crunch.
- Let's get our crunch on.
- Super.
All right, everybody,
it's time to turn it up. Let's go.
[cheering]
Yeah!
What are you…
- gonna…?
- Oh, no.
- [others groaning]
- Fuck, save some for me.
More tongue. More tongue.
- [overlapping chatter]
- [Gordita Crunch Head] I'm delicious,
aren't I?
Have any of you ever paid for sex?
What's a normal rate?
- [Aleesha] Is this karaoke room two?
- [gasps] Aleesha,
- you made it.
- [Lucy] Oh, yeah.
Two hours late and smelling of…
[sniffs] hot dog?
It's not a party without Mr. Mayer!
[cheering]
Oh, me first. Me first.
How do you plug him in? Oh, here it is.
[overlapping excited chatter]
- Get it, get it.
- Get nasty, Lucy. Okay. Lucy.
- All right.
- [Lucy] Does anybody have any
- m-m-m-mustard?
- Holy Christ.
- Lucy, I have to see you at work.
- [Lucy] Oh, my God.
- [wistful music playing]
- [man on screen] Good on you, Copper.
Chips O'Toole. Hotels and all
from Down Under. [chuckles]
[laughs] You still have any of those
situations available in Sydney?
[man] No, it's all gone.
Never mind, Nikos.
People drop out, don't they?
Anyway, come on up to the house,
we'll put a couple shrimps on the barbie.
Hey, Dad.
- You said Mom visited you after she died.
- That's right.
Sometimes, I feel her presence so strongly
it's like I'm talking to her.
"Like." But what about for real?
Nathan's been visiting me as a…
He's been here.
And…
I'm awake.
Here's what I know:
you, me, your mom, Nathan,
we all have souls.
- Yeah.
- And those souls keep going after death.
I believe it now, too.
Is-is this…
daughter's finally listening
to her father?
Oh, my God. Don't gloat. [laughs]
[laughs] I had a potato
for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Gloating's all I have. [laughs]
[both laugh]
[wistful music playing]
[groans, sighs]
Oh, man.
[sighs] What happened last night?
Why does my mouth
taste like processed meat?
[laughing] Oh, right.
- [snorts]
- How do you live in this thing?
- It's so heavy.
- Oh, my God. Oh, my God, Nora.
I love it. Does this mean that you're…?
[crying]
Surprise.
[laughs]
[wails]
Ow…
Ladies, there has been a murder.
Because after the guests see you,
they're gonna fucking die!
- [squeals, laughs]
- You're gonna look so good! Oh, my God.
- Aw.
- Cheers.
That better just be juice.
We're in VR. I'm not getting wasted
in real life.
Or am I? [laughs]
Nora, I'm so happy you're here.
Oh, are you kidding? You think
I'd miss the wedding of my ex's copy
and my really new friend?
You're gonna make me cry.
You know, I always thought
it would be you and Nathan.
Heard that, Viv.
I'm sure your Nathan
would've loved to come.
I know he would, but it's fine.
I talked to him right before I got here.
[laughs]
Wait, what?
I was just speaking with him.
[quirky music playing]
He's not gone.
I mean, my Nathan, he has eternal life.
I mean, he's… he's here.
Oh, he's not here, right, honey?
[Nora] Well…
I mean, I think he's in heaven,
but also in my apartment,
where he's been appearing to me,
as a ghost.
And we hang out and we talk and…
And I'm-I'm not gonna pretend
that it's not happening
because it is, okay?
Does anyone have a problem with that?
[Nevaeh] You know, uh,
if my uncle were gonna haunt anyone,
it would probably be you.
Uh… tell him I said to call me.
Just because he's dead
doesn't mean he can't find the time
to call his mom, right?
[laughs] I can't do this.
Okay. Yay. This is just, like,
um, a little plus-one
from the afterlife.
[gasps] Should we all say a little prayer?
Okay, this is now Nora's prayer room.
Let's… Um…
Let's all, let's… Here. Yeah. Um…
Let's… hold hands.
Let's all… uh, bow our heads.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Okay.
Dear Lord.
Hello.
- How are you?
- Shh.
I bet nobody ever asks you that.
[wistful music playing]
Thank you for bringing
Nathan back in my life.
A… men.
- Amen.
- [others] Amen.
- [laughter]
- Amen, girls.
And a-women, am I right?
[cheering, laughter]
- Hey.
- Aw…
That was really sweet.
[Nora] Yeah.
[classical music playing]
Fill me up.
Not today. I'm a guest, same as you.
Leeshy. How much time did they
reserve that whole lobby for?
It's super expensive.
They're good.
You know, I always thought it would be
you and Nathan together in the end.
What?
You had, like, a-a vibe.
Oh, my God, we're not sitting together?
[sighs]
Gah. I promised myself I wouldn't do this.
[sputters]
[dubstep version of
"Wedding March" playing]
Usually, a woman is walked by her dad,
but she's walking herself
because her dad killed her fiancé.
- Is that normal?
- No.
[mouths] Wow.
Showtime.
[sighs]
Hey, how's everybody doing over here, huh?
Make some noise
- for me, your wedding emcee.
- [applause]
I understand we have some guests
who have traveled
all the way from the real world today,
and, boy, are their arms tired. [laughs]
- [light chuckle]
- [man coughs]
God.
We are gathered here today
to celebrate a very beautiful thing.
A wedding between
a perfect ten living woman
and a man who is dead.
Or rather, a copy of a man who is dead,
- and yet, is a more perfect 11.
- There it is.
I will now invite the couple
to read their vows.
Thank you, Luke.
Nathan, when I was a child,
my favorite book was
The Very Independent Bubble.
[chuckles] Surprise, surprise.
And I quote… [clears throat]
"Once there was a little girl
who loved to blow bubbles.
And when she blew them,
they would go wherever she wanted.
She could make them go up
or down or sideways."
[laughs] "But one day,
she blew a bubble
who had a mind of his own."
[chuckles]
"He was a very independent bubble."
- [laughs] Mm-hmm.
- It's me.
"When she made
all the other bubbles go up,
he decided to explore the world.
'Come back,' shouted the little girl.
'The world is full of pokey things
that can pop a bubble.'
But the very independent bubble
didn't care.
He had to see what was out there.
So, the little girl secretly followed him,
and whenever he almost hit a pokey thing,
she jumped in front.
And the girl was happy.
Although, she was covered in bruises
from all the pokey things.
But one morning, she woke up
and the very independent bubble was gone.
She searched high and low for him,
from the bottom of a diamond mine
to the top of a skyscraper.
She was so upset,
she didn't look where she was going,
and she fell right off the tippy top
of the skyscraper.
Down, down she fell,
past all the good little bubbles
who had floated up.
And guess what happened next.
She fell right on top of the very
independent bubble, and… he didn't pop.
He turned into a pillow
and stayed in her bed forever after."
[crying] Sorry.
Nathan.
No matter what happens to us,
Brownie, no matter
where you float away to…
…I will always find you.
And you will end up in my bed.
Okay. Uh, Nathan?
- Ingy.
- [giggles]
You are the most passionate person
I have ever met.
You go all in on everything that you do.
And that's how I'm gonna be
in this marriage.
I'm all in.
I'm all In-grid.
[laughs]
For all eternity.
Nathan, do you take this woman
to be your wife
for as long as you both shall live,
which theoretically could be forever?
- I do.
- Ingrid, do you take…
- I do.
- [laughs]
I have one more thing that I have to read.
"This wedding was brought to you
by Gordita Crunch.
Six flavors, one delectable crunch.
Now even cheesier. Get your crunch on."
I now pronounce you man and wife.
You can kiss, please kiss. [laughs]
[audience cheering]
[dubstep version
of "Wedding March" resumes]
- [laughs] I love you guys! Whoo!
- [Ingrid cheering]
[classical music playing]
Norma? Really? Still?
Excuse me, that's my chair.
I'm Norma, Ingrid's pube stylist.
I think you're up there.
It is so good to finally meet you.
Ingrid calls me Nora all the time.
[chuckles] Nice to meet you, too.
Hear ye, hear ye.
Ladies and gentlemen, introducing
Mr. and Mrs.
Ingrid-Nathan Kannerman-Brown.
[cheering and applause]
[whooping]
- Oh, boy. She's gonna throw a bouquet.
- The wedding bouquet.
Traditionally, whoever catches it
will be the next person getting married.
That's right, which means
it's time for me to go. Peace.
- Nora. Catch.
- No.
Not in my house! Booyah!
I'm getting married. Yes!
- It's okay.
- Yeah.
[instrumental version of "34+35"
by Ariana Grande playing]
Hey. I meant what I said.
I love you. I'm 100% in.
I know. I just wish everyone
got what they wanted.
[laughing] What? Oh.
- [crowd gasps]
- [music stops abruptly]
- Uh… Nothing.
- [Ingrid] What is it?
- [screams] No.
- You're fine. You're fine.
[crying]
Okay. Okay. Okay.
So, it looks like my hug suit
is having a little malfunction.
It's not a problem. Just keep enjoying
your hors d'oeuvres.
[light applause]
[instrumental version of "34+35"
by Ariana Grande resumes]
You look beautiful.
- I'm just happy.
- Come here.
[chuckles]
[gentle music playing]
Use mine. It's your day.
[mouths] Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
[Nathan] Nora. Nora, are you here?
Nathan?
- Nathan. Oh…
- [Nathan] Yeah, it's me.
[laughing] Oh, no way. Maid of honor?
- [laughs] Oh.
- That's so cute.
What?
[quirky music playing]
Wait.
Oh, my God.
You're a projection. Not a ghost.
That's good news.
You're not dead, y-y-you're digital.
Do you know where you're projecting from?
I don't know. It's really bright.
And-and… I can hear this, like, um…
"bshh, bshh" sound, and…
I can see a torrent.
I need you to come find me.
