Passing tower 8. You copy?

Look at that. It's... it's like an empty vegetable.

It grows in the forest.

I don't know maybe,

maybe... maybe I should just

give it a go, set up my own shop.

Yeah. Take your own team.

Yeah. I would need my whole team

but that would gut the whole department.

What do you think, they'd come?

Welcome to engineering.

Please beware of your surroundings.

Come in.

Coming up on your 40. Can you see me?

Welcome back employee George Almore.

Have a safe and productive day.

Did you pick me up on anything?

Area 19 through 22,

and the infrared grid was showing some heat in places.

Okay.

All right let's get this power rerouted. I got stuff running.

All right, on my count.

Three, two, one, now.

Power rerouted.

You now, if anyone asks you to reactivate a mothball facility

by yourself, you say no.

You say no and then you go get a burger.

Come on.

I'd like to try a burger.

All right.

Today's review is gonna be same as always, just

stay out of sight while we have a conference call, okay?

Morning.

Want the TV?

I had that dream again last night.

Yeah?

Is it the same as last time?

We were in a car driving.

We were in car?

Where were we going?

I don't know.

Just driving.

Okay, well... Was it nice driving or,

or not nice driving.

Just driving.

Was there anything else you might remember? Anything at all?

No.

Just sitting in the car watching the things go past.

It was pretty, but when I woke up,

- I felt sad. - Yeah, well

dreams can do that, you know.

She wants to talk to you.

George.

- She wants to talk to you. - I know, I know.

I know she does, it's okay. Thank you though.

Okay, can you get her ready for the evaluation?

Thanks.

Hello?

Hey. I'm here.

Hey.

How's my man?

You know, missing you, a bit

a lot.

Same as usual.

Missing you too.

So, not going out?

All work no play, huh?

You know me.

Yeah. I do know you.

Hey, hey, Jules?

Jules can you hear me?

- Hello? - I'm here.

I really hope you're happy there.

You know, it's beautiful here.

I've always...

Hey, don't

- I just can't do this anymore. - Don't say that.

Talk like this it,

it's just too hard.

Jules, listen to me.

I'm sorry.

Goodbye, George.

- Hey, don't, don't... - I love you.

- Come on, tell me. - What?

- Give them back. - No.

- No, come on. - No.

Give them back.

No. No, babe I'm fine. Once they're on, they are mine.

Come on, just put it in auto.

I don't want to. It's my car. It's our car.

I'm gonna drive it, not a robot.

But what's the point of having this car if you're just going to drive it.

Because it's being driven by something I didn't design.

Mmm. For someone who likes robots so much.

I like robots,

just my own, you know. That's why I build them.

George. Are you hearing me?

Yeah, yeah. I'm hearing you.

Where is everybody?

- I thought we were supposed to be doing a review. - Cancelled.

Very busy over here. Big security review.

Just file what you're doing and get it over.

If I stop to file everything I'm doing

I'm never gonna get any work done.

How are you doing getting those security systems back up?

Well, no great.

There's still lot to do.

You really let this place go to seed.

Oh, just get it done.

Is this really necessary? I don't have time...

Very necessary.

Things are getting hot with Otaku.

We got a few of them in custody.

Off the record of course.

Wow. So we're kidnapping people now.

It's the cost of doing business.

They'd do the same to us.

We're assigning armed response details to all our facilities.

Nobody even knows where this place is.

I don't need an armed response unit.

Don't worry, George. I've got some good news.

Hollins is out.

Gone.

I'm the new V.P. of internal development.

We are thinking of folding everything into my program.

No, no, no. I have a three-year contract.

You can't just shut me down.

Two and a half and we haven't really seen anything yet,

except for that ugly thing.

But it would be such a pity if you couldn't deliver.

How's, uh... How's your pet project going, Simone?

My pet project will define the future of robotics

for at least the next 20 years.

Artisan robotics research isn't really the future of this company.

- Oh. - Oh, come on, George.

My prototype sailed through the Halderman tests.

I mean that thing doesn't even speak.

Congratulations, Simone. That's great.

Uh, is that it? I'm trying to conserve energy.

Oh no, we're not doing this again.

There is no way you're getting a new line.

Out of the question.

I'm talking about my own energy.

This is a waste of my time.

Get those security systems back up.

I want this place secure.

Yeah.

- Call terminated. - I don't like her.

She's a bitch.

Yeah, you're right.

She is a very smug lady

and she loves herself very much.

The less she knows about you two the better.

If she knew about you, she would pull your brain out

and take it apart piece by piece.

She'd realize what and idiot she'd been for marginalizing my research.

Because she wouldn't be able to put you back together, would she?

You're not ugly.

Take your own team.

Yeah. I would need my whole team,

and that would gut their whole department.

What do you think, they'd come?

Well, I'm pretty sure I could appeal to their sensibilities.

I know what they're getting paid.

Oh, screw this boundary line thing.

Stop filming me. Come on, come on.

Come on. Stop.

Come on. Let's go have a drink.

I swear this thing's got ghosts in it.

You okay?

You're being very quiet.

This about you dream?

No.

I know it's just a dream.

Do you have the ten?

You're welcome.

Why haven't you asked me to help you in your workshop lately?

Is that it? Are you getting bored out here with me?

- I thought we were a team. - Yeah, of course we are.

I know what you're doing in there.

We talked about this, okay?

I'm not replacing you.

You made another like me,

but better.

- Different. - Better.

Just like I'm better than my sister.

Different, okay?

Look, can you get back to the house? You're getting wet.

I need to check this module see if she triggered the system.

I know you can hear me.

I put you into a hibernation state, okay?

Just... It's just like sleeping.

You'll be fine, and when you wake,

I'm gonna be here to take care of you.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Subject J1 showing me where she could win an egg and spoon race.

I'm kidding...

Get you running in no time.

Why don't you stop filming me?

I'm documenting your career trajectory
