- Uh-huh.

So, you're suggesting that I replace

the entire janitorial staff with robots.

- Thank you.

- What I'm saying is that

the human element of human resources

is our biggest point of vulnerability.

We should start

phasing it out immediately.

- What?

- Excuse me, Bambi,

-you should be wearing...

- Did you just say that?

- Security? Yes?

- Happy? Okay.

I am thrilled that you are now

the Head of Security. Okay?

- It is the perfect position for you.

- Thank you.

- However...

- I do appreciate it.

-...since you've taken the post...

- You don't have to thank me.

...we've had a rise in staff complaints

of 300%.

Thank you.

It's not a compliment.

It's not...

It is a compliment.

Clearly, somebody's

trying to hide something.

- I. .. Yes.

- SECRETARY:
Excuse me.

Ms Potts, your 4:00 is here.

- Thank you.

- Did you clear this 4:00 with me?

Happy, we'll talk about this later,

but right now, I have to go deal with

this very annoying thing.

How so?

I used to work with him

and he used to ask me out all the time,

so it's a little awkward.

I don't like the sound of that.

Pepper

Killian?

You look great.

You look really great.

PEPPER:
(STAMMERING)

God, you look great.

L... l... I...

What on earth have you been doing?

Nothing fancy.

Just five years in the hands

of physical therapists.

And please, call me Aldrich.

Uh, you were supposed to be

issued a security badge.

- Happy, it's okay. We're good.

- Yes.

- Are you sure? Okay.

- Yes. Stand down.

- I'm going to linger right here. Okay.

- Thank you.

It's very nice to see you, Killian.

Hey, guy.

Merry Christmas.

KILLIAN:
After years dodging

the President's ban

On "immoral" biotech research,

my think tank

now has a little something

in the pipeline.

It's an idea we like to call EXTREMIS.

I'm gonna turn your lights down.

Regard the human brain.

(HUMMING)

Uh... Wait, hold on, hold on.

That's...

That's the universe. My bad.

But if I do that...

That's the brain.

Strangely mimetic, though,

wouldn't you say?

Wow, that's amazing.

Thanks, it's mine.

What?

This. You're inside my head.

It's a...

It's a live feed.

Come on up, I'll prove it to you.

Come on.

Now, pinch my arm.

- I can take it. Pinch me.

-(CHUCKLES)

(GASPS) What is that?

It's the primary somatosensory cortex.

It's the brain's pain centre.

But this is what I wanted to show you.

(BEEPS)

Now, EXTREMIS harnesses

our bioelectrical potential

and it goes here.

This is essentially an empty slot

and what this tells us

is that our mind,

our entire DNA, in fact,

is destined to be upgraded.

Wow.
