ideas into people's heads.

Is that a question?

You have no other

applications in mind

for OtherLife?

No.

Jared?

How's our boy doing?

Yeah, he's good.

Jared, big sis giving you any trouble?

You let me know if she does, buddy.

Good to see you again.

His eye moved.

Yeah. Yeah, he, um...

tricks me too sometimes.

See you again tomorrow?

Good night.

Hey, didn't want to call

in case you were working

or sleeping, but, uh...

Thought you deserved to see how much fun

you're missing out on down here.

Remember fun?

Such a romantic.

Definitely should have

joined us. This is not you.

Didn't expect

to see the real you.

You'd rather do it by email?

No, I wanted to talk.

I simply presumed that you'd be too busy.

Now? Of all times?

Will you at least come down here?

We launch Monday.

OtherLife.

Even the name suggests

some sort of opiate.

Products need commercial

application to get funding...

Regardless of what you have

to sell to get them there.

Bringing joy to people

is a worthy ideal, I grant you.

But then again,

heroin was invented

to cure morphine addiction.

I made progress.

- Behavioral awareness?

- Maybe.

His eye moved.

It's just a twitch.

- It doesn't sound like much...

- It's not.

Okay, but if he's in there,

then all he needs is a way out,

- just something to hang on to...

- Oh, please stop.

Are you still getting that glitch?

It's just bad code.

Like addiction, PTSD,

depression, that's bad code, too.

Except the mind

is more than just a collection

- of binary switches...

- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Here we go with your spiritual rationale.

- Don't insult me.

- You have given up.

I'm sorry, I have another class.

You can't unplug him without my consent.

I can.

I'm not asking you for your permission.

Just your support.

Hey, Cass?

- What's up?

- What's going on?

Sam needed to quarantine.

He said you knew.

You didn't know.

- Can you do me a favor?

- Anything, babe.

Can you take my archives off the network?

Yeah, uh, that's going to

unlink a lot of projects.

- That's fine.

- Okay.

Is this a creative meeting?

- It wasn't in the diary.

- Yeah, I, um...

I wasn't digging or anything, it's just...

You said 482

and we've gone through more than

twice that amount of nanite stock.

Is this costing us?

No.

Just your time, energy and extra

strain on our infrastructure?

What's the simulation?

I don't have to tell you.

I'm sorry, Ren, you do.

We are supposed to be partners.

- It's personal.

- It's long-term, whatever it is.

Short and linear, your words.

- And now you're developing...

- It's an unproven idea.

- But I am close...

- Close? We're live in five days!

I'll leave you guys to it.
