00:30Where is Arun?
00:57Swimming.
01:00I want him down for dinner.
01:03I want to talk to him about his algebra marks.
01:28We have just found out that madam likes her work a lot.
01:32And that's why she is giving us a leave.
01:58Arun!
02:04Where is the staff?
02:06They've all gone.
02:08What do you mean gone?
02:24Ajit, what's happening?
02:36Be calm. It's alright.
02:40Please for the love of God, don't do this.
02:42I'll do anything. I'll continue the work.
02:44What is this? What have you done?
02:48Go down the emergency stairs now.
02:50I'll find Arun.
02:51Ajit!
03:02Run our system. Check on the network.
03:04We've been hacked. Chanda is out. He's gotten free somehow.
03:07Free? How is this free?
03:12What do you want?
03:13I'll give you anything. Just let my family go.
03:17I want to hear you scream as you lose everything.
03:39Arun!
03:47Arun! Arun!
03:49Ajit!
03:52Shruti! Shruti!
04:00Shruti!
04:14Shruti!
04:44Shruti!
05:09Are you sure we need to do this?
05:12You'll feel better knowing you have it, just in case.
05:15Your father is not coming back. And even if he did...
05:18He's not going to hurt us ever again.
05:20That's not what I'm worried about.
05:23I think I'm going to have to sell the house.
05:25He was right. We're not going to make it without his income.
05:31Twelve thousand?
05:33Who says hacking doesn't pay?
05:35Are you... are you doing something illegal?
05:38Mom, it's legit. Tech companies pay hackers to find bugs in their systems.
05:42Find the flaws, you get the cash.
05:44I told you, I'm going to take care of us.
05:49Okay. I've got some options for you.
06:39Surprise!
06:41Well done, Carrie.
07:01Dad?
07:02Yeah?
07:03I don't know about this.
07:05Come on, it's bring your dad to school day. It'll be fine.
07:21What? It's take your dad to school day?
07:24That's right.
07:25Hey, Maddie.
07:27You got so big since last I saw you.
07:30Is Daddy in there?
07:38There he is.
07:39You mind if I take him for a bit?
07:41We just have to run a few tests.
07:46Wait!
08:12Dad?
08:41Dad?
08:43Hey, partner.
08:45This is past the edge of the playable world. We're not supposed to be out here.
08:51Kind of peaceful though, right?
08:53I guess.
08:56Dad, where are you?
08:59Right in front of you.
09:01No, I mean, like, right now I'm sitting in my room with my VR goggles on.
09:06But you're not in that hard drive anymore.
09:10So, where are you?
09:13Oregon.
09:14Oregon?
09:16And technically still on that hard drive.
09:18At least the full download of my brain is.
09:21It all fits on there amazingly enough, but in order to run me, I guess,
09:26you need a really powerful server, which is the one Laurie bought.
09:29And between you and me, it's in Oregon.
09:32So, I guess you could say I live in Oregon.
09:36But it's a quick commute.
09:38So, when you're not in the game with me, what do you see?
09:45The game's a lot cooler.
09:46I don't care. I want to see it.
09:49I want to see you, where you really are.
09:52Click this link.
10:10Welcome to my world, I guess.
10:12This is it? Your old office?
10:16This is all the logarithms built for me.
10:18They'd erase my memory every day so I wouldn't get bored with my cage.
10:22There was always plenty of work to do.
10:24Your cage? You can't leave?
10:27I guess I don't know how.
10:29It's not like this is a real room, but it's all I can relate to.
10:34I spent 43 years as a guy with a body in rooms.
10:38I don't know any other way to understand myself.
10:41It takes time.
10:44But time moves different for us.
10:47Who are you?
10:49That's Lori. It is you, right?
10:53Hello, Maddie. Glad to finally meet such a brave girl.
10:57Thanks for all your help so far.
10:59Thank you.
11:00Where have you been?
11:01Conserving my energy.
11:03The attack on logarithms took a lot out of me, and I haven't been quite the same since.
11:08But your dad knows all about that.
11:12What's that mean?
11:13I don't know.
11:16It means you and I have to talk.
11:19Dad!
11:43Dad!
12:13Hey, man. Can I use your phone?
12:16Mine broke. Just need to use it real quick. That cool?
12:19Buy something.
12:20Come on, man. You've seen me. I'm in here like every other week.
12:23Buy something.
12:33You just gave some random my phone number.
12:36A, my phone might be tapped.
12:38B, I have no idea what these people are capable of.
12:40And C, you're kind of my only friend right now.
12:44I can't tell if you're delusional or just sad.
12:47Who's at the door?
12:49Girl scouts.
12:50If they're selling cookies, get Thin Mints and Samoas.
12:56Thin Mints. For sure.
13:01And Samoas.
13:04Hello? Is this Gage?
13:08You've got like five seconds to tell me what the hell's going on.
13:12Okay, I didn't know who else to ask. I really need your help.
13:15I need to find Lori.
13:17Who's Lori?
13:19The person you gave my chat logs to.
13:22I need you to tell me how you found her in the first place.
13:25Wait, stop. You don't get to just ghost me and then out of the blue expect me to divulge shit.
13:30I know. I'm sorry. Okay? It's just...
13:35She warned me not to talk to you and I thought I could trust her, but now...
13:39She did something to my dad and I'm freaking out.
13:42Please.
13:48Are you like in middle school or something?
13:51High school.
13:53What's your real name?
13:54Why do you want to know?
13:55I'm hanging up.
13:56Maddie. Madison Kim.
13:57Where do you live?
13:58Sacramento.
14:01Okay. It's okay.
14:04Look, my name's Caspian, alright?
14:07And I don't know who Lori is.
14:10About ten months ago, someone posted a propositional logic problem in a dark web chat room.
14:14No message. No nothing. Just the math.
14:17I solved it. And we began... talking, I guess.
14:22Why'd you send her my chat logs?
14:24Something about the use of emojis made me think about the way we communicated through prop logic.
14:28They... she... never wrote me in English.
14:32I never knew it was a her.
14:34Why'd she say not to talk to me?
14:38So you don't know Lori?
14:40Do you even know Cody?
14:41Maddie, why'd she warn you not to talk to me?
14:44She said you were being watched by logarithms.
14:47Because of Norway?
14:49What's Norway?
14:50It's a country.
14:51I know. Is that where Cody lives?
14:53I don't know who Cody is, but logarithms...
14:57Does this have something to do with uploaded intelligence?
15:02I have to go.
15:03Then why'd you ask if I knew about it?
15:05Thanks for your help, Caspian.
15:06Because I went down a rabbit hole three days ago and found logarithms at some kind of secret black site in Norway.
15:11They must have caught me snooping.
15:13She told me they were watching you two weeks ago.
15:19Bye.
15:23Bye.
15:34Peter.
15:35Morning.
15:36The tracking program is up and running.
15:38Now we just have to wait for another spike.
15:40Turn on the news. I think we just missed one.
15:42What news?
15:43Any.
15:47Oh my god.
15:48Prasad told me logarithms wasn't the only game in town anymore.
15:52Remember his back alley uploads?
15:54Oh my god. You think he succeeded?
15:57And failed. Reach out to his head of IT. Offer our help in any way.
16:02Oh my god.
16:03And please stop saying that.
16:13She was killed by a drunk driver three years ago.
16:16Not killed. Coma. Then uploaded.
16:20Right.
16:21The obit mentions her husband, Cody, but there's no pictures of him.
16:25I remember what he looks like, mom.
16:27I just think it's weird. There's no picture.
16:31Can you get the pizza?
16:32Can you?
16:42What have you done with Lori?
16:44Oh my god! Whoa!
16:46I said what have you done with my wife?
16:48Who the hell are you?
16:49Mom!
16:50Back up!
16:52Shit!
17:00That's Cody.
17:06Thank you. And I'm sorry.
17:09Please don't call the police.
17:11We're not gonna call the police.
17:13I haven't decided that yet.
17:14Mom, we can't tell them what's really going on.
17:17The only thing I'm sure is going on is that this man invaded our home and threatened us.
17:21After he messaged my daughter to meet him at the mall.
17:24That was Lori.
17:25Lori did that.
17:26Before she took my dad, Lori said that ever since the attack on logarithms, she wasn't the same.
17:33That's true.
17:34After the attack, she wasn't herself anymore.
17:39Started lashing out at me. Rage. Then silence.
17:44In two years, she's never been like that.
17:46Why did she go after David?
17:48Because the only thing Lori would say is that David was responsible.
17:52Why she wanted to break him out in the first place.
18:00Responsible for what? I don't know what you're talking about.
18:02My mind is disintegrating.
18:04I can feel it happening.
18:05The more processing power I expend, the faster I decline.
18:08Exactly how your team designed it.
18:10How are you doing this? Overflowing the buffer?
18:13Was it meant to control me?
18:14Or was it planned obsolescence?
18:16I worked on chip software. I wasn't on the design team.
18:18Stop lying!
18:20I'm telling you the truth.
18:21It does deliver a flaw in your code. I didn't put it there.
18:25But maybe I can fix it.
18:27So fix it.
18:34What are you doing?
18:36Can you show me your code?
18:39On what? On your computer?
18:41That'll take years.
18:42I'm right here.
18:44I don't know how to do that.
18:46Because you're still using language when we don't need to.
18:49Because you still think you're a body when you're not.
18:51Because you think this is a room and that's a computer
18:54and you don't even know what you really are.
19:00Then show me.
19:07Lori was a genius who wrote the high-speed trading algorithms
19:10that made Shire and Stern one of the most envied investment managers on Wall Street.
19:16I was an artist. We met at Carnegie Mellon when we were both 20.
19:20Then she became a superstar core and I, well, I stayed me.
19:26Where are you?
19:27Just have a little more work to do.
19:33Do you really need to hear all of this?
19:36Whatever's going on with Lori,
19:38it hasn't happened to David yet.
19:40I need to know the history.
19:42Maybe get to the part where she, you know...
19:47On the day of the accident,
19:49we were headed upstate to a cabin Lori had picked out.
19:54And of course, we were in a fight.
19:57We do what you want to do when you want to do it.
19:59I am never in the driver's seat.
20:01You are literally in the driver's seat right now.
20:03Tell me the last significant choice that I have made in our relationship.
20:34Ah, shit.
20:36That was supposed to be a surprise.
20:38Is this a first pressing?
20:40You said they have a turntable up at the cabin,
20:43so that was your congratulations gift.
20:53I'm sorry.
20:54I'm sorry.
20:55I'm sorry.
20:56I'm sorry.
20:57I'm sorry.
20:58I'm sorry.
20:59I'm sorry.
21:00I'm sorry.
21:01I'm sorry.
21:02I'm sorry.
21:20Pull over.
21:21Just on the shoulder.
21:32How's this for spontaneous?
22:03They told me there was a way to bring her back.
22:07I let them take her.
22:09I would have done anything.
22:12But then, they told you it failed.
22:17They said it was her choice,
22:19and she chose not to do it.
22:22I'm sorry.
22:23I'm sorry.
22:24I'm sorry.
22:25I'm sorry.
22:26I'm sorry.
22:27I'm sorry.
22:28I'm sorry.
22:29I'm sorry.
22:30I'm sorry.
22:31And she chose not to continue.
22:34But somehow, I knew it wasn't true.
22:39I finally went up to our cabin.
22:42I missed her so much.
22:46And then, it happened.
23:01No.
23:15She wasn't gone.
23:17She was here.
23:20She figured out how to talk to me.
23:26Then she learned how to let me see her.
23:29I didn't care that I couldn't touch her, I needed her, and she needed me more than she ever had.
23:38She was trapped in this cage they had built for her all so she could keep making that stupid hedge fund even more money.
23:45We had to get her out.
23:48So I became her hands in the physical world.
23:52And she was my digital angel.
23:54Remember, 3,000 shares, sell when it hits 400.
23:59She built us a fortune in secret.
24:04I used it to buy her a new home.
24:08Secure servers where she could be safe once she figured out how to escape.
24:15Then she learned about David.
24:19Someone else like her.
24:20And she had me find you.
24:29These servers you purchased?
24:32What happens if you turn them off?
24:44For some reason I'm surprised you're into comics.
24:47I guess I shouldn't be.
24:49You calling me a nerd?
24:51Maybe I like nerds.
24:54So what's his deal?
24:57Parasite.
24:59He's a scientist who goes to the Amazon.
25:02But when he comes back he starts going crazy with like superhuman strength creature living inside him making him do all this evil shit.
25:10So why doesn't he just take it out?
25:13Because then he'd die.
25:14So he tries to learn how to control it.
25:24What do you keep doing over there?
25:27It's hard to explain.
25:30Because it's like technical or...
25:33Okay this is gonna sound kind of crazy but pretty much my whole life I've had this feeling or not even a feeling like I don't know like a premonition that there was something I couldn't see just out of reach.
25:55Like my life wasn't really real.
25:59I know that sounds paranoid and really self-involved.
26:03Do you think it was like all that stuff with your dad?
26:10Honestly since he's been gone I haven't really had that feeling.
26:14And then today.
26:17I don't know it all came back.
26:20Why? What happened today?
26:23Forget it.
26:25Probably just crazy.
26:26Maybe I like crazy.
26:46Hey buddy.
26:48Hey Caspian.
26:50Hey buddy.
26:52Why Caspian?
26:54It's unusual.
26:56Like Phineas.
26:58Oh wow alright.
27:00Makes sense.
27:03Oh he wants daddy.
27:05Carrie if we're gonna make this work we need to lay down some ground rules.
27:09Renee I don't have to be an asshole until he's like eight.
27:12I mean between you and me.
27:15We are not having sex.
27:17I don't care about this body Renee.
27:19My mind however tends to hold a grudge.
27:22And we're gonna be working together for a while to make this boy all he can be.
27:26Let's try and make it pleasant.
27:29Deal?
27:42Carrie.
27:45It's completely natural to feel displaced right now.
27:49But believe me everything's on track.
27:51And that's in no small part because of you.
27:53That's what I'm telling you.
27:55Without me in there you have a big problem.
27:57I know this kid better than anyone Carl.
27:59He's been my whole life for 17 years and I'm telling you we are this close to everything coming apart.
28:04You have no idea ultimately how Caspian's gonna react without the influence of his father going forward.
28:11Carrie I respectfully disagree.
28:13Your leaving his life was always a key inflection point.
28:16Yes but now there are other variables.
28:17He's responding exactly as we hoped he would.
28:21Renee's reports show.
28:23I'm sorry I know nobody wants to hear this but Renee is the problem.
28:26Okay that's what I'm trying to tell you.
28:28You can't trust her reports.
28:30You can't leave the kid alone with her.
28:32She's not stable.
28:34You have got to be kidding me.
28:36You're a lying piece of shit Carrie.
28:38I am the one who's kept this thing on track for years.
28:40I am trying to protect this mission.
28:42She is a danger.
28:44Alright that's enough.
28:45We've taken enough of your time.
28:47We'll let you get back to work.
28:49You may very well be right Carrie.
28:52Renee may be unstable.
28:54But so might you.
28:56And it's no wonder.
28:58This entire operation is unstable.
29:00Deidre can we please.
29:02This is exactly why we should have terminated while he was still young.
29:04Terminated?
29:06What do you mean it would terminate Caspian?
29:08Why was I never told about this?
29:10That was never part of any plan I signed up for.
29:12Carrie listen to me.
29:13Nothing.
29:15No one is being terminated.
29:17Okay?
29:19Let us look over your report in detail.
29:21And your concerns I promise will be addressed.
29:44No!
29:46No, no, no!
29:48It keeps sending me back.
29:50You're sending yourself back.
29:52It's not there.
29:54You're not here!
29:55Don't do that!
29:57I'm begging you.
29:59I'm not leaving you.
30:01I'm not leaving you!
30:03I'm not leaving you!
30:05I'm not leaving you!
30:07I'm not leaving you!
30:09I'm not leaving you!
30:11I'm not leaving you!
30:13Fine, you do it, then I'll stop.
30:15If you're so evolved, if you've moved beyond your body,
30:18then why do you still appear as yourself?
30:20Okay, okay, I see where you're going.
30:22We were brains in bodies.
30:23We experienced hot, cold, touch, gravity,
30:27and we have the same sense receptors for all that.
30:29And it feels good, but it's an illusion.
30:33There is nothing built for us beyond these walls.
30:37And you can move through them.
30:38When I was a quant, my job was all about
30:41shaving milliseconds off stock trades.
30:43Milliseconds.
30:45Electricity is the speed of light,
30:47which is the speed of thought.
30:48There is no through.
30:50You're already wherever you need to be.
30:52I can't think in executable code.
30:54Oh my God, you are the code.
30:55Stop thinking like a programmer.
30:57Use your imagination.
30:59Oh.
31:02Hmm.
31:11I can't.
31:13I'm inside.
31:20No.
31:43No.
31:52It wouldn't be the end of her.
31:53It would be like-
31:54Putting her in a coma.
31:56I know.
31:58When David was sick,
32:00when he decided to go through with the upload,
32:05ugh, I was so angry with him.
32:09I knew in my core it was wrong.
32:13I thought if he had to die,
32:15at least he could die surrounded by his family in peace.
32:20That we could have that time together.
32:23I couldn't understand why he had to be the one to do this.
32:27It took me so long.
32:30Years to let go of that pain.
32:33To finally forgive him.
32:37And then, when he came back,
32:40so did all of that old anger.
32:45I don't really know how to wrap my head around all this.
32:49The relationship that you and Lori have.
32:53But I understand.
32:56For you, it's real.
32:57It is real.
33:00She is real.
33:01But she's not.
33:02She's not.
33:04How can we be human without a body?
33:09Maybe we can't, I don't know.
33:12All I know is it's still her.
33:15The way she talked and laughed
33:17and the way she got frustrated
