Extinction

Our world never stops moving,

changing,

evolving.

Every day, we go about our routines.

Work, home, family.

But who are we?

Who am I?

You think you know your beautiful wife...

your adorable kids...

and who you work for.

But what if you don't?

And the truth...

once you knew it...

would change everything.

Another nightmare?

Yeah. I'm sorry.

Please see someone.

I'm worried about you, and so are the girls.

I can figure this out.

Wanna hear an even scarier nightmare?

This husband...

refuses to deal with his issues,

and so his wife goes insane from lack of sleep,

and pushes him out a window.

The end.

Monkey see, monkey do!

Hey, what are you doing?

Playing with monkey. You can be my assistant.

I can be your assistant? Well, I'd love to be your assistant,

but I have to get to work on time.

But you know what?

Since we've all been working really hard lately, right?

Especially Herman.

Especially Herman, that's what I was thinking.

Why don't I get off of work early and we can go to the pier?

Does Hanna have to come?

- Hanna does have to come. - Yeah, your big sister has to come.

But we're gonna force her to have a good time,

and if not... I'll show you. I'll show you what we're gonna do.

No, no!

Stop, stop, stop!

Speaking of which, uh, where is she?

- One guess. - Oh.

- Bye, Daddy. - Bye, Luce.

Oh, and Samantha keeps asking

when we're gonna have that party to celebrate my work thing.

Oh, yeah, um...

Let's do it tomorrow. -Yeah? - Yeah.

Okay.

I'm beginning to forget what our friends look like.

Ha-ha.

- Love you. - You too.

The pier!

Good morning. Lobby?

Yes, please.

It's nice weather outside.

No talking while the elevator is in motion, please.

Oh, that's right.

Okay.

Oh, look at that, perfect timing.

- Pete. - Hey.

Ms. Elevator Person.

How's the j-o-b?

Just a cog in the machine, sir.

I'd complain to corporate, but who would listen?

Thank you, miss.

Hey, Mr. Wright?

Can I come see Maggie later?

Totally. Hey, we've got a new sound system set up.

- Dance party time! - Awesome!

Actually, tonight we were planning on family night.

Okay, cool. Another time.

Enjoy!

- What are you trying to do? - Wait, wait! No, no! Wait, wait, wait!

I know I've been out of it these last couple weeks.

Weeks?

That was a good insult.

Thank you.

Can we please spend time as a family?

I really want to make it up to you guys.

So what are we gonna do?

I don't know.

Guess you're just gonna have to go upstairs and find out.

God dammit!

Reset.

Wow. I don't remember the last time I saw you crash a machine.

The current split and blew up both the systems.

Sleeping okay?

Yeah. Well, better.

You know, it's funny, I was talking to somebody

and they were telling me about this clinic that people go to...

for, you know, sleeplessness and stress.

I could get you the number.

- I'm just trying... - No, no. It's just a little mistake.

I'm gonna fix it.

Sure. I got you.

Okay.

- Let me know if you need anything. - Okay.

Oh, um... David?

Is there any way I could... take off early today?

Will you call the number for me?

Yeah.

All right.

The aim would be to update the drainage systems

along Prescott, Calder, and Willow.

Now, I believe that if we focus on the tunnels beneath these streets,

we could reduce overall runoff in the city's west side by up to 30%.

Thank you all so much. That's all for today.

They should have done the upgrade years ago.

Hey, that was great, Al.

- Thank you. - Not at all.

It makes me look good for promoting you.

You want to work late tonight,

talk about how to get this over the line with Water and Power?

Oh, I-I was actually going to ask you if I could leave early today.

- Yeah. - Thank you.

If we gave them a chance, maybe they could be of benefit to the planet.

Besides, whether we like it or not, they're here to stay,

so we should entertain the possibility

they be given the same rights as you and I.

Same rights as you and I? They have no rights.

At some point, they will rise up,

they will overtake us, they will subdue us.

Okay? They will conquer humanity.

I don't mean to be alarmist, but it's happening,

we see it happening, and we need to take action now!

Alice!

Do you... do you see that? Do you see that light?

That light?

He probably just had to stay late at work.

You don't need to make excuses for him.

You have the right to be upset with him, honey.

He should have called.

He loves you, you know that.

Yeah, I know.

Good night.

Hey, I'm really sorry.

- I see you got time to go shopping. - Oh, I got this for the girls.

Sure you did.

- Can you just give me a break? - A break? From what, exactly?

- From me? Or the girls? - That's not what I'm saying.

Okay, well, it sure as hell is what you're doing.

I had one of those nightmares,

today... at work.

I passed out, and that's why I'm late.

Peter, I...

I am worried about you, okay?

I know.

This is me, this is your daughters, they're worried about you too.

I don't...

understand why you won't just get some help.

They're just gonna say it's in my head.

Because it is just in your head.

Mommy?

Why were you guys yelling?

It's okay, baby. Come on. Everything's fine.

Mommy, wake up.

Mommy, please, wake up.

Please.

Please.

Mommy, wake up.

Mommy, please, wake up.

- Girls! - No, no, no, no! Stop!

Girls!

Hey, girls! Girls! Stop for a second, please.

- Have you seen my briefcase anywhere? - No!

Morning, girls.

Can we talk about last night?

Hanna...

Hey, I'm sorry.

Hey, what's up with Herman?

- He won't talk anymore. - Yeah?

Maybe he's mad at you.

Oh.

Well...

he has every right to be.

Hey, Luce, can I talk to Herman?

Herman, I understand your frustration,

and...

while an apology isn't fix-all,

I am sorry that I missed family night.

If you want, I can take a look at him,

see if there's anything I can do about that voice.

When's he gonna talk again?

I think if we just reroute one of these wires...

All right, Herman, what do you say?

Monkey see, monkey do!

Thanks, Dad.

Monkey see, monkey do!

I called that doctor.

She's gonna see me after work today.

Really?

Yup. You bet.
