Season #1 Episode #1
Synopsis: Westworld isn't your typical amusement park. Intended for rich vacationers, the futuristic park allows its visitors to live out their most primal fantasies with the robotic "hosts." However, the robotic hosts have evolved an artificial consciousness that is similar to, yet diverges from, human consciousness. No matter how illicit the fantasy may be, there are no consequences for the park's guests, allowing for any wish to be indulged; but there is a price to be paid.

No offense, but I'd rather earn a woman's affection than pay for it.

(speaking Chinese)

Clarence:
Wait, wait, I know that one.

Hey, Teddy.

Yeah, last trip, this dude showed me around.

What's the good word, Teddy?

Mighty kind of you.

Sweet.

Not as sweet as you.

I'm afraid I've got other plans tonight, Dolores.

Have a pleasant evening.

You're new. Not much of a...

Place your bets, gentlemen. Place your bets.

(Flies buzzing)

(whistles)

(horse whinnies)

Yeah, looks like Hector's been this way.

Any idea how much longer this is gonna take?

My wife doesn't want to be up here after dark.

We know he's up in these hills somewhere.

He's gonna put up one hell of a fight when we...

When we... when we...

Sheriff?

Something is wrong with it. I want to head back to town.

Now.

Lee:
What the f*ck is wrong with it?

You updated the guy, and now he's a six-foot gourd with epilepsy.

So what the f*ck happened?

I don't know.

Well, that's exactly what you want to hear from your head of programming.

We haven't finished the diagnostic yet.

Clearly it's exhibiting some aberrant behavior.

Pretty f*cking aberrant, Bernie.

Your hosts get sick, they get lost, but this is grotesque.

Is it a problem with the update?

Possible, but not likely.

If it's the unlikely version, how many hosts have you updated so far?

Maybe 10% of the population.

All right, we pull all updated hosts until we can figure it out.

Are you f*cking kidding me?

That's 200 hosts spread across a dozen active storylines.

The guests interrupt your precious storylines all the time when they want to shoot or f*ck something.

No, when they want to.

We sell complete immersion in 100 interconnected narratives.

A relentless f*cking experience.

Now, you pull one character, the overall story adjusts.

You pull 200 at once, and it's a f*cking disaster!

I mean, what do you propose we do?

Close down? Issue f*cking gift certificates?

It's beautiful... Your brow.

When you're angry but trying to control it, the fine muscles pull into a little arc.

It's elegant.

Would you mind if I recorded it?

I'd love to show it to my team.

No, Bernard, you may not record it.

Ah, there it is again.

We have 1,400 guests in the park.

I need to know if they're in any danger.

His core code is intact, which means he can't hurt a guest.

He literally couldn't hurt a fly.

All he can do is...

(snorts)

...that.

All right, Bernie.

Run a diagnostic.

In the meantime, there's so much as an unscripted sneeze, I want to know about it.

(Beeping)

(bird screeching)
