You're awake.
Take your time.
You might feel
Was I asleep?
Not exactly.
Who are you?
(SOFT ETHEREAL MUSIC)
Do you
Do you know where you are?
I don't think so.
You may feel a little disoriented.
You've
been through a procedure. Uh
What procedure?
I'm going to read a list of words
and I want you to repeat
them back to me, okay?
Okay.
Face,
velvet,
church,
daisy,
red.
Face, velvet, church, daisy, red.
That's good.
And, uh
Good, and uh
Can you tell me what year it is?
I don't know.
Uh
is something wrong?
Take a look at this picture.
Do you recognise the baby?
No.
It's okay.
Who is this?
Who are you?
Do I know you?
I thought you might.
I don't understand.
Whose baby is this?
Can you tell me your name?
(EERIE MUSIC)
What's wrong with me?
It might take you a little bit of time
for things to come back to you.
What's happening? (BIRDS CHIRPING)
Your, your short-term memory
seems to be intact
Why don't I know who I am?
You've had a procedure.
The process may not have
captured the subtleties
of your your long-term memory,
- but physically you are
- What the fuck
are you talking about?!
- (BIRDS CHIRPING)
- We can, we can talk about this
when you've gotten a chance to rest.
Why don't I remember anything?!
(GASPS)
What is happening? Where am I?
It's okay. You, you just need to rest.
Who the hell is this?
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
- Who is this?
- Easy.
No! Get away from me!
No! Get away from me!
- You're overwhelmed.
- No, no, don't!
(SOBBING)
Okay, all right. There you go.
- There you are.
- No one's going to hurt you.

What is this?
This isn't how I wanted you to
What is this?!
You were created.
You were
(SIGHS)
printed
from a high-resolution scan
using a very complex process.
I was
I was printed?
It's a new technology.
It's a, the four-dimensional
printing of human tissue.
That doesn't make any sense.
It's the truth.

Yeah. I, uh,
let her eat a bunch

Yeah. Solid decision-making.
Right. Before I forget.
- Next month's rent.
- Oh, hey, great.
(SIGHS) I, uh, I got the next rocket,
by the way.
Better put in some dad time
before she disowns me.
- Thanks for hanging with her.
- Yeah. No problem.
See ya.

(RHYTHMIC MUSIC PLAYING)

(DOOR CLOSES)
She's asleep.
No "hello, how are you?"
(CHUCKLES)
You taste like SpaghettiOs.
You know you like it.
(RHYTHMIC MUSIC)
You really don't remember
how you got this?
Um, I just
I guess I blocked it out?
I was a kid.
Well, it looks like they did sutures.
I'm sorry; what is that,
Retired Army Medic?
(CHUCKLES)
Say "sutures" again, but slowly.
Sutures again, but slowly.
And what colour was your uniform?
This really isn't a turn-on
for me. You know that?
What about scalpel?
Did you use a scalpel?
Not hot, weirdo.
Fine.
(CHUCKLES)
So, have you, um
have you thought about
telling Charlie about us?
It's been almost a year. I
feel like it's weird
to lie to her.
Yeah, I just want to make sure
that she's ready.
When Clara left, I wasn't sure
if she was gonna come back from that.
You know I'm not going anywhere, right?
This is home now.
Why was it so hard for you in the city?
What happened there?
It's just, it's not even
really worth talking about.
So you've said.
It was just a rough year.
I was just lost
until I came here, until I met you.
(SOFT MUSIC)
My mystery woman.
Hi.
- My name is Lucy.
- Hmm.
I like
- SpaghettiOs.
- Uh-huh
And crossword puzzles. (CHUCKLES)
And long walks on the beach.
Right
And I have an almost
pathological desire to avoid
talking about the past.
That's true.
And I love you.
Hi, nice to meet you, Lucy.
My name is Jack.
I work at a diner
and I used to use a scalpel.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

We need an ambulance.
There was an accident.
(MUFFLED CHATTER)
(SOFT WHIRRING)
(BEEPING)
(DISTANT INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Lucy.
My name is Dr. Palmer.
- What happened?
- Uh, you were in an accident.
We did a full scan, blood panel.
You did tests?
Yes. A full workup.
There were no internal injuries,
no concussion.
You're very lucky.
Did you see anything else?
Sorry?
Um, the, the tests.
Did anything seem
Did anything seem different?
Lucy, your tests came back
completely normal.
Were you expecting us to find something?
No.
No, I was just worried.
Um, you know, this is
this is probably a weird question
That's fine.
If I wanted to know
if I had had a baby,
is that something you could
tell from these tests?
I
Not with any certainty, no.
Is that something you're unsure of?
Hey, hey, hi. Jesus, Lucy. You okay?
Yeah, I'm okay. I want to go home.
Okay.
I still don't understand what happened.
It was stupid. I
just was tired. I wasn't looking.
- (CLEARS THROAT)
- I woke up in the middle
of the night last night
and you weren't in bed.
I-I couldn't sleep.
I just needed to clear my head.
Move in with me.
(SOFT MUSIC)
What?
You're right, okay?
You're right.
We should tell Charlie about us.
And, and you should move in.
And maybe you'll stop skulking around
in the middle of the night
and whatever you do.
I wasn't skulking. Who says "skulking"?
Stop it. You know what I meant.
- Is that, like, Middle English?
- Lucy.
I love you too.
Okay? And I want to be closer to you.
So just stop being such a mystery
and move in with me.
Okay?

Hello?
Which hospital?
And you're positive the scan's a match?
Well, then it's her.
(SOFT MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)
(CHUCKLES)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
So sorry to bother you.
I'm hoping you could help me?
I'm looking for my sister.
I heard she was in
an accident last night.
(LAUGHING)
(LAUGHING)
Go again?
(EERIE MUSIC)
(LAUGHING)
(INSECTS CHIRPING)
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
You're probably gonna tell me
not to bring all these books.
(MUFFLED SCREAMING)
Scream and I'll snap your neck.
No! No!
(GASPING)
It's been a long time.
(GASPING)
Bet you thought
you'd figured it out this time.
Set up a whole little life for yourself.
But I know what you really are.

Okay, so, I grabbed Fred.
I couldn't find the other
dinosaur PJ bottoms.
I'm sure I forgot something.
You should go check.
- What are you talking about?
- We have to go. Now.
Hey, hey. What the fuck is going on?
We're not safe here anymore.
Why? Why did you leave
a gun in the trailer?
I'll explain to you
when we get someplace safe.
No. No, no, no. I'm gonna call the cops.
No, no. the cops, they can't
do anything to help.
Lucy, my daughter just shot someone!
There's a body in the fields!
Jack. That man?
There could be 10 more like him
on their way right now.
And they will hurt me,
and they will hurt you,
and they will hurt Charlie.
We have to go!
I am not going anywhere
until I understand
what the hell is happening!
(STAMMERING)
Before I met you,
I had a very different life.
And it is so fucking complicated.
But it has come back for me.
- Did you do something?
- No. No, no.
The people that are
looking for me are dangerous.
They were after me for a year.
They got close a few times,
but I thought I was off their radar,
and I thought I was safe.
I thought we were safe.
- Jesus.
- You
you and Charlie
are the most important things to me.
You are the only thing that matters.
'Kay, what do you want
me to do? Just run away
with you? Is that your plan?
No. I have to face them.
And get them to back off for good.
I know that now.
I will take you to Tina's,
you'll be safe there.
- You'll be safe there. Please.
- That's great.
- That's a great plan.
- I will fix this. I'm sorry.
- Fuck you, you're sorry, okay?
- I will fix it.
My daughter is
Fuck!
Hey.
(TENSE MUSIC)

(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR SLAMS)
'Kay.
Um, I'll call as soon as I can.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
I know you are.
Let's go.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(SIGHS)
(MAN): Settlement House.
Password please.
Fuck. Off.
(DOOR BUZZING)
Good memory.
Hey, Craig.
Hey, what happened?
I thought you were a country mouse now.
Let's go somewhere
where we can talk, okay?
Yeah.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Hey.
Um
They finally found me.
Shit.
It was someone that works for them.
He tried to take me.
There was a struggle and um
he's dead.
- (EXHALES)
- Jesus.
I have to find them.
I have to find them
and get them to leave me alone.
Feels like we've been through
this before, though, doesn't it?
(EXHALES) You, living on the street,
high as a kite.
Couldn't remember your own name,
as I recall.
Only thing you wanted to do was
find out who you were.
And all that did was
get you in trouble.
I had no past.
I was trying to fill that void.
But I have finally
built something for myself.
I have a life.
I have people who care about me.
I'm not gonna let them take that.
So if I have to find out who I was
to protect who I am
and now I have a lead.
I took their guy's phone.
It's clean;
there's no information on it,
but if I can pull GPS data
off the SIM card,
maybe I can find out
where he was coming from
before he got to me.
Maybe I'll learn something
about who he was working for.
Have at it.
(BEEPING)
Still trying your best, I see.
It's a sober living community.
But I don't live here.
Okay, so there's a privacy app.
It kept wiping the phone clean,
but it didn't stop it
from pinging the satellite.
Look, right there.
That's where he started his drive.
Might be his home.
Or an office.
It's a start.
When you found me
on the street, high off my ass
why did you believe me?
People need a lot of different things
when they come here.
You needed someone to believe you.
Yeah.
- (EXHALES)
- And, to be honest,
maybe I started a little bit
early that day.
(CHUCKLES)
- Thanks, Craig.
- Mm.
(DOOR OPENS)
Meeting with the director.
Let's go.
(MACHINES BEEPING)
(WHIRRING)
At the Additive Foundation,
we have pioneered the process
of 4-D printing precise replicas
of vital organs for transplant,
saving thousands of lives
all over the world.
As a global health organisation
rooted in social justice,
we refuse to accept that one life
is worth less than another.
The body was in the adjacent orchard.
Small-caliber gunshot wound to the head.
There was also evidence of a struggle
in the suspect's trailer.
Owner of the property
and his young daughter are AWOL.
At this point, they're presumed
missing or dead.
She was attacked. She reacted.
That doesn't mean she's capable
of hurting a child.
Okay, I think the takeaway here
is that she's violent and unstable.
No, you don't know that.
Okay. You built her.
You sure all the pieces
are in the right place?
The scan we used
didn't have enough detail
for certain kinds of memory recall.
She doesn't remember who she is.
That doesn't mean
there's something wrong
with her executive functioning.
You sure?
There's no room for error
anywhere in there?
Say what you came here to say, Tom.
She just killed one of my guys.
If she's got some kind of
whatever you want to call it,
uh, flaw,
then she is a bigger problem
than we had anticipated.
She's not a problem, she's a person.
- She's a liability.
- For you?
Or for the man you work for?
This isn't just about us.
I mean, look, you've built
a really nice place here.
I mean, look at this.
You're helping people,
you're saving lives.
What happens if she walks
into a restaurant,
just kills a bunch of people
and then starts talking
about where she came from?
We've been trying to bring her
in alive for two years.
All I'm saying is, if
there's something wrong with her,
we may need to consider
some other options.
Well, thank you for your input, Tom,
but that's not your decision to make.
I'll expect an update on her location
by the end of the day.
You can show yourself out.
(WATER RUNNING)
(PHONE RINGING TONE)
(WOMAN): Hi, I can't come
to the phone right now.
Please leave me a message
and I'll call you right back.
(SNIFFING)
I, uh
I've been thinking about you
a lot today.
And, uh
I just wanted to hear your voice.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
(TENSE MUSIC)
Come on, let's go.
(BEEPING)
Marnie, please.
Marnie, please. Stop licking your hands.
Sorry, excuse me.
Oh, excuse me,
I was just looking for someone
who just left their keys
at the coffee shop
across the street, and I think I saw him
come in this building.
What does he look like?
He was, like, 6'2",
brown hair, sort of clean-shaven.
I'm sorry, that could be anyone.
This is a really big building,
but good luck.
Right.
(DISTANT CARS HONKING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(EXHALES)
Hey. Sorry, uh, sorry.
I'm not sure how to say this,
but do we do we know each other?
No. Don't think so.
Sorry, wait.
You don't recognise me at all?
No, weirdo. I don't.
Because you look really familiar
Sorry, wrong person.
- What's your name?
- Hey!
I don't know you, okay?
Can you just screw off, please?
- Wait, uh
- What the hell?
Shit. Sorry, I Shit.

I'm unarmed.
I'll wait.
Toss it over there.
Who are you?
I'm nobody.
I'm an employee.
Bullshit. Who do you work for?
Look, we can talk about it,
but first you gotta let the girl go.
Jesus Christ, please don't hurt me.
Please.
She's the same, isn't she?
She's the same as me?
It's above my pay grade.
Please, please, please let me go.
Please.
Look, don't do this.
Lucy, it's not gonna end well.
All I wanted was to be left alone.
- Come on.
- Okay.

Get in. Get in!
Yeah, they're getting in her truck.
(TIRES SCREECHING)
Hey, Aunt Cosima?
It's Kira.
(SCOFFS) I'm worried.
I think I may have done
something terrible.
Yup, no, I-I'm fine.
I-just, have you got a minute?
