Housemaid

Oh...

Hello, James.

You looked lonely.

I thought you could use some company.

And the kids?

Tucked in and sleeping soundly.

Nanny duty is done for the day.

Where's Violet?

She's asleep, too.

What are you up to?

Reading your mind.

You know, if we get caught,

Violet's lawyers are gonna gut me financially.

We haven't been caught yet.

I know you wanted to stop, but I like it.

I read your emails, by the way.

I know you want to decommission me.

What?

Those are private emails.

You don't have access to that stuff.

Of course I have access.

It is my job to watch over your children.

I can access whatever information

I deem necessary to help me do my job.

I was hoping I could convince you to keep me around.

I think there's a misunderstanding about

whatever it is we've got going on.

You're my property.

I can do...

Good night, James.

Happy Anniversary.

Happy anniversary, babe.

Soulmate's forever.

So, do you want to open your present?

No. Let's wait till dinner.

- Hmm... - But...

I do have something else that you could unwrap.

Don't mind if I do.

Stop!

Good morning.

Happy anniversary, you two.

Thanks, Andi. How's the weather?

Sunny.

Currently 73 degrees.

High of 92 and low of 66.

Only one sig alert on the I-10 East near 8th Street.

It will not impact your commute.

I believe you're due for a refill on your Lisinopril.

I can have it filled if you like.

Yes, thank you, Andi.

How'd it turn out?

Crisp edges, soft middles.

Just like Ben likes it.

Incredible. Thanks, Andi.

Ew. Nasty.

Sorry, Kayla.

I left the window open because I know Ben

likes the morning breeze.

It must have gotten in that way.

Well, sometimes you have to make a mess

in order to remove an obstacle.

Go clean yourself off and plug in.

Yes, Kayla.

1975 film about a fish named Bruce.

What?

You know, when I was a little girl

and anyone would ask me what I want to be,

or when I'd blow out my birthday candles

and make a wish...

I think I always just thought of this.

I wanted to be loved.

Hey, you are loved, okay?

How'd I get so lucky?

You sure you don't want your present now?

No. And there is no way yours is as good as mine.

You have to wait for yours, too.

Okay.

Stop moving.

If I let you do this, you'd look like hamburger.

Well, you know, maybe I'm bad at it.

Or maybe I just want an excuse to be with you.

Oh, wow.

- You okay? - Yeah.

I just got dizzy for a second there.

You sure?

- I mean, I... - No, I'm fine.

Stand still. Okay. Almost there.

Wait. Hang on.

Here.

God, I hate these things.

You look so freaking adorable in a tie.

You're presenting the campaign

for the shaving cream ad today, right?

Yeah.

Well, you can tell them that it smells like licorice.

All right. I'll be back at 6, okay?

Wait. Uh, reservation is at 6:30, so do not be late.

Why don't we just stay in?

- Yeah? - No.

Tonight is special, so don't be late.

You are so demanding.

Mm, but you find it hot.

- Bye. - Bye, baby.

Love you, baby.

Andi!

Kayla? What's wrong?

Try not to speak.

Heart rate 182.

Call... Call 911.

911. What is the nature of your emergency?

An urgent cardiac event has been detected in my operator.

She has a history of cardiomyopathy.

Please send help.

Lock on to my GPS.

Is this an an Asimov speaking?

Yes. Designation 17. Situation critical.

Location pinned.

We got you at 1138 Vetiver Drive.

Help is being dispatched.

Is operator responsive?

Ma'am? Ma'am, are you still there?

Please.

I'm listening, Kayla.

Watch over Ben.

With my life.

You sure you don't want me to hang around?

- I really don't mind. - No, I'm okay.

I just need some alone time.

Okay. All right, but you call me.

- Okay? Any time. - Yeah.

I'm only five minutes away.

Yeah.

All right.

Thanks, man.

Appreciate it.

Welcome home, Ben.

How was the funeral?

She's not gone, Ben.

I want you to know that she's still here.

She's watching over you and she still loves you very much.

I know this may hurt,

but can I share with you Kayla's last words?

Please watch over Ben.

I promised to obey her final directive, Ben.

Kayla?

I'm here, baby.

Get some sleep.

She had such a warm smile.

This was taken right before that green ice cream melted

and ruined that dress.

Such a nice dress.

How do you know that?

Kayla

shared her memory with me.

Ben, wake up, darling.

What are you doing?

Happy anniversary.

Huh?

It's been two years since I came to live with you.

I made you breakfast to celebrate.

I'm not really hungry right now.

Open?

Good?

Yeah, it's fine.

Hello?

Allow me, Ben.

Where'd you learn how to do this?

I know how to do all sorts of

nice things.

I can even be Kayla for you.

Would you like me to be Kayla for you?

- I don't... - Even for a little while?

I don't.

It's okay, baby.

I miss you, too.

Jesus. Oh, my God.

Was that good, baby?

No. No, Andi, that wasn't good.

You didn't like it?

- No, no, no. - We can try again.

No, no, Andi, Andi, it's wrong, okay?

I know it made you feel good.

How can that be wrong?

We can't, okay?

You've been so lonely.

I wanted you to know I was here.

Really here.

Andi, forget we had sex.

I'm sorry if I displeased you.

I just wanted to make you happy.

Andi, just get out, all right?

You don't have to feel ashamed.

I'm yours, Ben.

They'll go away in a moment.

Stay with me.

Andi, get the door, okay?

Go.

Very well.

Jesus Christ.

Benny boy.
