compromised a little.

Well, not every day

you're fired by the mother

of your own child.

You and I both know

that I kept you on

after the divorce

for old times' sake.

And so you could still hold

your head up in front of Lainey.

- I fought for you.

- Yeah, well...

I'm sorry, Viktor.

Dad!

- Sweetheart.

- Hey, Dad.

- How are you, honey?

- Good.

I'm sorry

Mum canned you.

I'm going to finish

this picture.

Lainey, I'm going

to finish it.

Because it's important.

I know you will, Dad.

You're Viktor Taransky.

I'm Viktor Taransky.

Okay. Bye, Dad.

- Hi, sweetheart.

- Hey, Mum.

Are you okay?

I'm Viktor Taransky.

Mr Taransky?

Mr Taransky, thank God.

I've been trying to see you.

I've been calling.

Your assistant

wouldn't put me through.

I told her it was a matter

of life and death.

I was afraid I wasn't going

to get to you in time.

Please, just...

- Keep your distance.

- I did it! I did it!

I licked skin

I licked hair

- I licked every part of her.

- I'm going to call Security.

I'll call Security

if you don't back off.

I have her

Mr Taransky...

the answer

to your prayers.

- The answer to this.

- I was misquoted.

I have your new

leading lady right here...

in my pants.

Please, sir

I don't know you.

- I don't know where you come from...

- It's me!

Mr Taransky, don't...

don't you recognise me? The 'Future

of Film' Conference in San Jose.

Remember that?

Hank. Hank Aleno.

I was a keynote speaker.

You must remember my speech...

- 'Who Needs Humans? '

- Right.

You were booed off

the stage. I remember.

- Whoa, that's got to be...

- Eight years ago.

In that whole time

I never left my computer.

- Uh-huh. Good for you, Hank.

- Well, it's good and bad.

That's what caused this...

the eye tumour...

- Microwaves from the screen.

- Oh dear, I'm sorry.

Don't be, because

it was worth it.

- You have to see her.

- Oh, I've seen those.

- Not like this.

- I'll take care of that.

Well, you're talking about

a 'syn-thespian, ' a 'virtual actor. '

- No, we call them 'Vac-tors. '

- 'Vac-tors'? I need flesh.

- No, we call them 'Vac-tors. '

- 'Vac-tors'? I need flesh.

- Flesh is weak.

- It can't be done.

It can be done. With my new

computer code, it can be done.

You and me...

we can do this

together.

I don't know anything

about computers.

See, that's why... you're

so perfect, Mr Taransky.

You have something...

that I don't have.

What's that?

An eye...

an eye for performance.

You know the truth

when you see it. I know.

I mean, I've seen your movies.

I love your movies.

- You love my movies?

- 'Straw God'...

that changed my life.

You saw 'Straw God'?

I have seen every frame
