[Holden] So, you overheard your father
and David Choak purchase the code that became Freeyond.
What about the upload companies?
Can you attest to a relation of mutual benefit
between David Choak and senior management at Horizen?
Yes. Choak got Horizen
to block memory files of my boyfriend's
after he was uploaded.
[Holden] Thank you, Ms. Kannerman.
That's all.
Ms. Kannerman,
isn't it true that under the terms of service
that your boyfriend freely signed...
[Ingrid] In the hospital, without a choice.
[lawyer] ...he consented that his upload scan would be
"owned by the Horizen corporation
for them to do with as they see fit?"
But how is that fair?
I mean, we're talking about
- a person here. - Actually, we're talking about
a person simulation
that is the intellectual property
of a U.S. corporation.
No, you're talking that way.
I am talking about a person.
Someone loyal and loving,
unlike the Horizen company,
which is considered a person under the law
for some crazy reason.
My boyfriend Nathan is a great man.
He is patient and understanding,
and, God, I don't know what's wrong with me.
I-I pushed him away out of a need to control
what was happening to me, you know,
like, like he was a product that I bought.
And for a moment I was thrown
that he was the one initiating something so big.
But, but that's the point.
He is not a product, he's a person.
I saw my ex Nathan in real life recently,
and I still chose my guy
because I love him.
And if he still wants me,
then I would say yes and marry him right now. [chuckles]
I would.
[lawyer] I'm sorry, Ms. Kannerman,
- Nathan Brown? - Yes.
- Is currently your boyfriend? - Yes.
Yet you also said "ex."
So, is he your ex or is he
- your boyfriend? - Both.
You said, "I recently saw my ex Nathan in real life,
and I still chose my guy."
And then you said that Nathan Brown was both.
So are there two Nathans,
Ms. Kannerman?
Hmm? Oh, I thought you said we were done.
No, no. We're just getting started.
Shit.

Hmm. No, no, mm-mm, you don't.

Oh, um,
I actually am staying on this floor.
Oh... kay.
Um, I wanted to invite you to my wedding.
Oh, is it a multi-floor wedding?

Oh, no plus one.
Or two or three or four or however many.
I mean it.
[laughs]
[Holden] Plaintiffs, may I have your attention?
Hey.
You won.
[cheering and applause]
- We won. - Great.
Each family that lost a member to the Freeyond scheme
should clear $1 million
after expenses in the settlement.
[cheering and applause]
Holden.
What are the terms of the settlement?
I mean, what happens to all
the incriminating shit we found out?
Well, it'll all be sealed.
That's standard practice.
Well, I-I thought we were gonna make it all public,
blow the lid off this thing, and get justice?
We got $140 million of justice for the survivors.
Um, that's great,
but what about me?
That doesn't change things for uploads at all.
We're still legally not real people.
I don't represent uploads,
I represent my clients and the firm,
and we won big for them.
But this is a disaster.
If that's your opinion,
you're not gonna make a great lawyer.
I was just thinking that.
Call Luke.
Hey.
Nora said they're not going public
with any of the stuff that we sent her.
It's all gonna be sealed.
What? Why?

Karina wants you in her office.
I'm gonna be fired.
If you get fired, I'll never see you again.
Karina said now.
Fuck.
I will see you later.
[Lucy] Attention, attention.
Hey, guys. So, due to a recent lawsuit,
Horizen is gonna make a greater effort at compliance
with the three regulations.
So, as you know, legally there can only be
one brain running per human being,
dead or alive.
So, no judgment, no penalties, we just need to know
how many angels in this branch
have, in the past, illegally copied their uploads.
How many? Show of hands.
God fucking damn it.
I thought it was less.
- Hey. - Hmm.
So...
you want to talk about what we were
talking about earlier?
Or you feel less optimistic now?
Well, um,
I'm probably not gonna be street legal anytime soon.
Yeah.
But I did think about it.
Fuck 'em.
I was a person before, I'm still a person now,
no matter whose definition I'm on the wrong side of.
Yeah.
And, I mean, one way to look at today,
it sucked, for sure,
but you could also look at it this way:
We did our part.
Okay? We killed Freeyond,
we got justice for the families.
The weight of that's off our shoulders now.
We didn't fix everything,
the world still isn't perfect.
And even though you deserve perfect,
maybe now it's okay for us to just worry about us,
not wait for some perfect moment.
I can't get some
piece of paper that makes it official,
but I do know what's in my heart.
It's in my heart, too.
I know.
That's all that matters to me.
