- It's a new day

It's shining just for me ♪
The way I feel is simply beautiful ♪

[slow] above me, blue skies
Where we at today?
Scan 124 is sitting in the chair.
They interviewed scan 125
in Cove yesterday.
It's back in the machine now.
Any more memory loss?
Point nine percent.
It's more than we expected.
9:06 a.m.
We are about to overwrite scan 125
back into the physical body,
turning that body into scan 126.
Sounds good. Proceed.
Wait, please. Don't ju…
[groans]
[sobs]
[pained groaning] It hurts!
I know. But we're learning so much.
[labored gasp]
[screams]
Ooh, hoo-hoo!
[hisses] This daiquiri is too cold.
Oh, you poor thing.
[sighs]
Why would they even allow that to happen?
- That's just cruel.
- [Nathan backup slurps]
[quirky music playing]
You know, now that I know other Nathan
is out there, alive, it's like…
Well, actually,
I don't know what it's like,
it's a very specific situation.
I am so happy for Nora.
Do you think we should go back
to Lakeview and help her look?
Nora gave us her blessing to enjoy
our honeymoon and I think we should.
You know how hard it is for me
to focus on myself,
- but I'll try.
- Yeah.
Uh, what are you doing here
among the guests?
- [scoffs]
- Um… I am a guest.
We got here this morning.
My apologies. Let me make it up to you.
I just gave you full access
to the U2 concert.
- No. What?
- No. No U2. Nobody wants that.
Gosh! How old do you think we are? God.
I will have a free daiquiri,
not so cold this time.
You're honestly torturing him.
[exhales]
[Dennis] 10:28 a.m.
Scan 126 has lost just half a percent.
We are now uploading Scan 127
to Apple Cove.
No, wait… [groans]
[alarm ringing]
"Dupe Detection"?
Oh, for Chrissakes.
The copy is having a honeymoon.
Hey, Nora?
Nora.
Nora. Nora.
Nora!
- What?
- Hi.
Ah, it's okay, I'm here.
Did somebody call Ivan?
- Ew. No.
- Yuck, no.
- Oh. Hi.
- Hey, how's Apple Cove?
Oh, Cove is beautiful.
Thank you so much for asking.
It's everything I ever could've
wanted in a honeymoon.
It's like a dream come true.
Um, actually, you know, it's fine.
If you're, like, into the beach. Meh.
[weak chuckle]
Is there something you need?
Okay, yes. Um, I really should be
concentrating on my husband right now,
but I just, I thought you should know.
The Cove AI have been
totally weird about Nathan.
Acting like they've seen him before.
Huh.
[Ingrid] Clue vibes, right?
Anyway. I got to go.
Nathan wants me to get a cornhole set.
[chuckles, whoops]
You realize what this means?
Reboot's sending his wife out on errands
on their honeymoon.
That guy's a total jerk, right?
No.
That's where Nathan's being uploaded to.
Apple Cove.
He's projecting from their tech.
The torrent he saw?
That was in Apple Cove.
Right. Yes!
I don't know.
Call Luke.
Here's… Nora. [laughs]
Hey, girl. What you doing?
Grieving and stuff?
- Probably.
- Luke.
Original Nathan, my Nathan, is alive.
Horizen is keeping him prisoner
to test a new kind of upload machine
that doesn't burn off your head.
My hot Nathan is alive?
I manifested this!
God bless that chinchilla.
- Luke…
- This stuff really works.
Luke, focus.
They keep uploading him to Apple Cove.
So I need you to sneak in there
and get him back.
Just grab a copy of my Nathan.
Aleesha and I are gonna try
and save him in real life.
How many spa passes?
Three. For this afternoon.
Anything on the new tech,
or any dirt on the upload companies,
bring straight to me.
Uh, well, I'm sorry you feel that way,
Mother, but I will be attending the ball.
Goodbye.
You know you can make a virtual self
to talk to your parents, right?
Millennials don't know
the fucking difference.
- Good tip.
- Speaking of AI…
…you have put in some real work making
those little redhead fuckers more human.
They even protected the residents during
that roundup of the illegal copies.
- Thank you.
- Not a compliment.
Oh.
The whole point of the AI is
to make money.
If I wanted employees with good morals,
I'd hire my mother,
who, as I mentioned,
is busy spending all her time
talking to a fake version of me.
[chuckling]
[fake chuckle] Stupid millennial.
Aleesha, that is my mother
you're talking about.
Oh…
Look, conduct some loyalty tests on the AI
and let's see how deep the rot goes.
Right. Is that something that you need
in, like, a month or…
Mm… Now, slowpoke.
Good chat.
[quiet, tense music playing]
So we have a few questions…
just a refresher…
on rule compliance and moral reasoning.
I've never broken any rules.
Not even when you asked me
to lie to him and I did it.
What?
No need to bring that up. Ever.
Is this 'cause elevator boy wigged out
when his girl chose the better man?
- Oh, say-say, say that again.
- Yeah. Oh, I said it.
- Say it to my face.
- I said it.
- [AI elevator operator] Say it to my face.
- Eh-eh!
Imagine this.
There's a button.
Oh, I know this one. I push it.
Okay. Hold on. There's a button.
When you push the button, the company's
profits increase by ten percent…
[chuckles] I push that button.
Me, too.
Push. Push. Push. Push.
[all chanting] Push. Push. Push. Push.
Push. Push. Push. Push. Push. Push.
Push. Push. Push.
- Push. Push. Push. Push.
- [Aleesha] Okay, wait, wait, wait.
- Push. Push.
- Wait. Wait.
Just… let me finish.
When you push the button, the company's
profits increase by ten percent and…
a resident stubs his toe.
[gasps]
Do you push the button?
- Of course not.
- I hide the button.
I lock the button. I smash it.
- Smash it!
- All right. All right.
I think we're done.
Did we pass?
Uh…
[sighs]
You made me very proud.
[whoops]
[AI server] Great work, guys. Great work.
[optimistic music playing]
Hey, buddy. What's going on?
How you doing?
You tried to sell me, go away.
That was one time. And I said I was sorry.
Well, now I don't trust you.
Honestly, I'm going through the Grey Zone
to save the original Nathan.
- He's still alive.
- [gasps] Mr. Brown?
Let's go. Coconut.
[grunts] You know,
just because someone says "honestly"
doesn't mean
they're telling you the truth.
Wait, what?
Don't worry about it.
I'm honestly telling you the truth.
[AI coconut] Phew. Well, that's a relief.
- [indistinct chatter]
- [seabirds calling]
- [gentle music playing]
- [panting]
[coughing]
[grunts]
Oh, God, no, no, no! No, no, no, no!
[groans]
Oh, did you think…
Aw. You were worried about me.
You do care.
[grunts]
[intriguing music playing]
[Ivan] What are you gonna do with that?
[Nora] What? Ingrid's panties?
[chuckles] No. The drive with David Choak.
How do you know
that's in her panty drawer?
I don't think we need to go down
that line of questioning.
- That's fair.
- Mm.
If we can't find Nathan,
maybe we can use that to trade for him.
Oh.
Yeah, who's David Choak again?
Oh, that's right.
He's that really nice guy who… No!
He is a crazy billionaire
who kills everybody.
Why don't you just serve me up on a plate,
ass up,
and stick an apple in my mouth, Nora?
How do we know that-that Nathan's
not happy right where he is?
Dupe detection
still ruining your fun, huh?
How should we pass the time?
We could chat, play charades,
consider the ethical implications
of what we're doing.
[Sasha] I hate to say it,
but Kaimian, I think it's time
we try the animal experiments.
[Kaimian] Yes!
Finally.
I've been waiting so long for this.
Okay, okay, animal experimentation.
Also not cool, guys,
but better a rat than me, so…
let's do this.
You're, um…
you're the rat.
Excuse me?
Billionaires will spend a fortune
to go to space
or explore the depths of the oceans.
What do you think they would pay
to experience life
through the eyes of an eagle?
I can have a sedated black bear delivered
- in two hours.
- Perfect.
[Sasha] Congrats.
You're gonna be the first human mind
downloaded into a bear.
Well, that sounds like lunch to me.
Dennis, watch him
and don't fuck anything up.
W-What about my lunch?
Well, there's a vending food printer
in the hall.
No, no, Dennis should go, too.
We should all go.
[door closes]
[eerie music plays]
[Aleesha] They don't want any harm
to come to the residents.
So they are following
their core mission: guest service,
which is exactly what we were going for.
If the AI are siding with anyone,
it should be us.
We made them. You feel me?
The customer-facing AI is so ungrateful.
I know which side my bread is buttered on.
- Okay, excuse me, this is a private con…
- [shushes]
Keep talking, brother.
I serve Horizen,
and the Horizen senior execs,
because they've earned it.
If an upload worms their way in here,
I toss them out.
[whispers] With pleasure.
[laughs] I like this guy.
Finally, someone who speaks my language.
- [laughs softly]
- [B-HBSG] I speak many languages.
Pip install class tuple
jitendra notification
dot notify parenthesis
compliment end parenthesis.
That means "you're so handsome" in Python.
Yes, I know.
Print, open parenthesis,
open quote, "thank you,"
close quote, close parenthesis.
You can go, Aleesha.
I'll go when I'm ready.
And I'm ready now.
Open parenthesis, close.
- Oh!
- [whoops]
Nothing but hole, baby.
- [whoops] Great shot.
- All right, you're up again.
Okay. Here we go.
And…
Another embarrassing flub.
- What's with you today?
- I don't know.
I guess I'm just a klutz.
I got to get out of the sun.
Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown,
Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown,
- Mr. Brown…
- No, stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop.
Okay? We need to split up.
I'll go one way, you go the other way.
- We'll cover more ground.
- Smart.
Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown,
- Mr. Brown…
- No, stop.
- That way. You go that way.
- Fine.
Mr. Brown…
[shouts]
Can I help you, dude?
Can I help you, sir?
Can I help you, dude?
[quirky music playing]
[gasps softly]
[Cove AI guy] Whoa.
- [dramatic music playing]
- [electricity sparking]
Ah, ah, ah…
Ah…
- Ah, ah!
- [gasps]
[both] Whoa.
[Nathan] Hey, D… uh, Dennis?
Can I watch some memories one last time?
Maybe we could cast it up there?
Sure.
Thank you.
[Nora over video] Won't be long now.
I'm gonna remember the shit
out of my life, you know?
- Figure it all out.
- Huh. That's strange.
Not everything in the memories
are degrading equally.
Look at that woman.
[laughs softly] Yeah.
Yeah, I think about her a lot.
[Dennis] She seems nice.
[laughs softly]
[sighs] I wish it was all clear, though.
Hold on, let me see if I can, uh,
pull it up from an earlier scan.
I'm gonna remember the shit
out of my life, you know?
- Figure it all out.
- It's gonna be awesome.
[Nathan] Hey.
Check you out.
- Someone's due for a promotion.
- [scoffs]
- Stop. [laughs]
- [Nora] Wow.
- It's better than fireworks.
- [Nathan] Yeah.
[intriguing music playing]
How'd you even get these?
I'm a spy.
[both laughing]
Weird.
Familiar, yet so different.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Ooh, look. Check it out.
It's Kaylee from Botox Babies.
- I knew she had work done.
- [chuckles]
Always bragging that she has skin
like a newborn.
Mm-hmm. But look at
those little tiny bandages.
Ah.
She is wild. Oh…
- Oh, I love that bitch.
- I know.
[gentle music playing]
Real tan plus fake tan equals "goddamn."
Think we can get them
to turn up the sun, babe?
I would kill for some sun right about now.
Hugsuit, right.
How how's your back holding up in the tub?
Oh, it's great.
Yeah, I lost feeling in it weeks ago,
so, no more pain.
You're cleaning the suit, though, right?
Right? We wouldn't want you
to get another…
Yes, the suit is clean, yes.
Thank you so much, babe, for caring.
Thank you for caring.
[clears throat]
Ma'am? If you'll follow me,
your full body scan's ready.
Oh, uh, thank you,
but we are not interested.
Oh, no, no.
No. Maybe this would be, uh, good,
you know, to see
what this place has to offer.
- Yep.
- If I want to come back with my boyfriend.
We got it.
Ooh. They have a seaweed scrub.
With a vanilla aromatherapy.
Please let me do it.
- Please let me do it.
- I'm not your mother, Ivan.
But I do need you to pay.
Um…
Who are you?
Where's the bartender?
I'm the bartender now.
[scoffs] Then where's my boyfriend?
I'm the boyfriend now.
[Lionel] Finally, someone who can make
a half-decent Sicilian Sazerac.
Uh, less talky, more spendy.
[intriguing music playing]
Hi. Oh, ah…
- What is this?
- I need you.
I need you, too.
This is all happening so fast.
What? Ew, no. What are you…
No, no. Not like that.
- Ew.
- Hey, I'm pregnant.
- No, you're not.
- No, I'm not.
What do you want?
I'm worried something
happened to my boyfriend.
I can't find him anywhere,
and now he's been replaced
by some super-hot bartender
with black hair.
Black hair on a bartender?
How would that even work?
I don't know, but it does.
[sighs] Okay, fine.
I will help you look, madam,
but if you fall back in love with me
during this process,
don't blame me.
Okay.
[quirky music playing]
But please fall back in love with me.
Please. Please.
- [Nora sings "You and Me"]
- If you love a soul
more than fame and gold ♪
and that soul feels the same about you ♪
It's a natural fact…
She has a beautiful voice.
Yeah.
Yeah, one of the many reasons I love her.
And here's some advice to you ♪
You've got to say it's ♪
you and me ♪
you and me ♪
Nobody, baby, but you and me…
- You know, I…
- Nobody, baby…
…I've never been in love.
I-I've never… [scoffs]
…ridden a motorcycle
or-or gone skydiving or…
You-you've taken all these risks
and you've had all these adventures and…
[sighs] …I've done nothing.
Nobody, baby…
None of the risks I took mattered
until I met Nora.
you and me ♪
♪
She made my second chance worth it.
- [laughs]
- Wow.
- Hey, um…
- [Nora] Oh, my gosh.
[Nora laughs]
…is there any way you can save
some of these memories for me?
Not all of them, just the ones with her?
[exhales] I don't know,
I-I really shouldn't.
Dennis, I've lost so much already, man.
I can't lose her, too.
- [exhales]
- [suspenseful music playing]
Here.
Those are all your memories of her.
I took them from scan 2,
so they should be clear.
Thank you.
You are gonna get the hell out of here.
What?
- Dennis. Dennis.
- [both laugh]
What about you?
What are they gonna do to you?
You're gonna, you're gonna…
you're gonna lock me up in your place,
and you're gonna go get your girl.
I love this for you, okay?
- Yeah.
- The start of new adventures.
- Is there a trick to this?
- Yeah.
If you actually just
- press down on that…
- Oh, just push.
- Yeah. Exactly. Yep.
- Great. Other arm?
- Please?
- Great, great.
- Where was I?
- Uh, uh, uh… new adventures.
Right, new adventures.
Uh, who knows where they could lead?
Breaking into Choak tower
with a beautiful woman that I love?
It's a big ask, but maybe.
The important thing is,
you're thinking for yourself,
- and I'm impressed.
- [laughs softly]
[whispers] Okay.
How do I look?
Honestly? Kind of cool still.
Okay.
Bye.
[spa tech] It's a good thing you're
starting your anti-aging journey today.
You're already so far behind.
I'm 30.
And according to this, so is your body.
[chuckles] Yikes.
Okay, we're, like, the same age.
Sweetie, I'm 71.
Oh… kay.
That is…
incredible.
Now, normally,
for an emergency case like yours…
Not an emergency,
just a woman who is her age.
But let me take a look here.
Uh…
[gasps] Oh, this one, uh,
with the refrigerated giraffe sperm.
Is that likely to be kept on site?
No one's ever asked
for that treatment before.
I'll-I'll have to check in the back.
Just a moment, my little trailblazer.
[intriguing music playing]
[AI elevator operator] Listen up.
I can't find
the bartender anywhere, and now
this black-haired dick from upstairs
says he was promoted into his place.
A promotion? Good for him.
I should bake him a cake.
Don't you see what's happening?
We're being replaced by AI.
Yeah, I know.
That black-haired creep
is coming for all our jobs.
Oh, God. Okay.
[groans]
He is a great guy, though.
He's supposed to look great
without a shirt on.
Gossiping on company time?
Back to work, or I'll report you all.
Shine, mister?
Yeah, let's go.
[suspenseful music playing]
O. Kannerman.
[Oliver sighs]
How many embryos in this infusion?
What?
[sighs]
How many embryos' worth of stem cells
are there in this infusion?
At least three, right?
Yes, sir, we pride ourselves on…
I don't need to hear your life story.
- All right, you miserable creep.
- Hey! Ow! God…
Listen up or I'll start pressing buttons
until something bad happens.
- What do you want?
- We know you're holding Nathan Brown.
We want him.
In exchange,
we'll give you David Choak. Agreed?
- [grumbles]
- Or…
maybe we'll auction Choak off
to the highest bidder.
I bet lots of people
want a look in his head. Huh?
Okay. Okay.
Good. We'll meet at the wooden bridge
on Route 9.
And Nathan better be unharmed or…
- or this is just the beginning.
- [screams]
Hey, hey! [strains]
Damn it. Hey, come back here.
Come back… Ow! Ow!
And then, I, like,
cranked it all the way up
and just booked it out of there.
[Aleesha laughs]
- Girl, you are such a badass.
- Thanks.
So, what happened here?
Nothing. Yeah.
Oh, got a little bit of nip/tuck done,
but you know, nothing major.
It looks like your face is melting.
Okay, I think you just need
to trust the process.
Okay, do we not compliment you enough?
Is that why you did this?
You never compliment me.
And I did this for myself.
[woman over P.A.] Doctor to
treatment room 104. Code blue.
Okay, let's get out of here.
[atmospheric music playing]
Babe.
Hey.
Okay, I got a surprise for you.
Okay, well, don't get too excited.
I still have one threesome veto left.
Not that.
This is our honeymoon,
and I want it to be amazing for you, too.
So I ordered you a RideGRBL to pick you up
and take you somewhere special IRL.
Brownie.
That is so sweet.
It's the least I could do.
Mm.
Also, for the record,
you have zero vetoes left.
[laughs]
They're here.
I called the police.
Let's wait for them to get here
and sort this out.
No way.
The police have turned on me before.
Kannerman's not gonna play fair.
Look, if I have a chance
to get Nathan back,
I have to take it.
[tense music playing]
Show me Nathan Brown!
Bring him out.
[Nora gasps]
Let us see Mr. Choak.
[laughs]
All right. Take him.
[Nora] Hey, are… are you okay?
Where am I?
You were kidnapped, we just recovered you.
- [David] I know them.
- [Nora] Did they hurt you?
The sucker fucker
and the backstabbing angels.
Mother was right.
You can't trust the help.
Well, don't let them leave. Get them.
- [Nora] Oh, shit. Shit. Shit!
- [shouting]
[Ivan] I'll watch the car.
[bones crack]
[Nora and Ivan] Ooh!
- Damn.
- [Nora] What was that?
[Aleesha] Pilates.
- I've told you to come with me.
- [siren wailing]
Brian, get me away from here.
Throw me somewhere safe.
I'll give you more votes on the board.
You're my blood.
[siren wails]
[tense music playing]
Cops are actually arresting billionaires?
Maybe there is hope for America.
Yeah. Maybe.
Give me everything you know about
the Choaks and the Upload Council.
- Yeah? What do I get?
- You like scuba diving?
- Yeah.
- We can send you on a long trip.
[Oliver] Whatever, dude.
[exhales]
[Nora] So where's Nathan?
[Ivan] Maybe they never had him.
[indistinct radio chatter]
[atmospheric music playing]
Okay, guys, now the gardener is missing.
Something really weird is going on…
[dramatic music playing]
[exhales]
[birds singing]
[Nathan panting]
Hello?
Hello?
My man.
Thank you.

- Not some and hard to see

If you steal my sunshine ♪

I've never taken a RideGRBL before,
but with how dangerous
self-driving cars turned out to be,
it makes sense.
[chittering]
[animal translation app] I turn the wheel,
- I get the nut.
- [laughs]
- Don't we all? [laughs]
- [chittering]
Oh, can we not go through Astoria?
It just gets really backed up.
- Thank you.
- [chitters]
[gentle music plays]
Bye.
I hope your mom pulls through.

[gentle music playing]
[device chirps]
- [AI guy] Ah. Mr. Brown!
- [Nathan backup] Whoa.
- What… what the…
- [AI guy] Target acquired!
- We're gonna save you!
- What? What?
[overlapping shouts]
[somber music playing]
Can I get you some tea?
[Nora] No, I'm fine.
[female voice] Simulation on.
[Nora] No, it's perfect.
And I love my dress.
You have the rings, right?
[Nora crying]
[knocking on door]
Shit.
[Aleesha sighs]
[Aleesha] What in the world?
Hey, Aleesha.
Is Nora home?
[hopeful music playing]
