1
00:00:33,784 --> 00:00:35,786
[breathing heavily]
2
00:00:39,456 --> 00:00:40,457
Fuck.
3
00:01:27,588 --> 00:01:29,464
{\an8}- [resident] Yes?
- I'm Anna.
4
00:01:31,592 --> 00:01:33,760
{\an8}The server for your party tonight.
5
00:01:35,804 --> 00:01:38,056
- I'm the help.
- [door buzzes]
6
00:01:45,147 --> 00:01:46,148
Happy New Year.
7
00:02:14,676 --> 00:02:16,845
[foghorn sounds]
8
00:02:28,482 --> 00:02:29,942
[sighs]
9
00:02:29,942 --> 00:02:32,653
[automated voice]
10
00:02:32,653 --> 00:02:35,322
Anna, are you burdened by debt?
11
00:02:35,989 --> 00:02:37,199
[lock clicks]
12
00:02:39,535 --> 00:02:40,536
Um--
13
00:02:40,536 --> 00:02:45,207
You're finally here.
I've been calling and calling the agency.
14
00:02:45,832 --> 00:02:47,292
- Annie, is it?
- Anna, yeah.
15
00:02:47,292 --> 00:02:49,753
Sorry, my bike's busted, so I had to walk.
16
00:02:49,753 --> 00:02:52,506
- [reporter speaking indistinctly]
- [host] Put your stuff here.
17
00:02:53,465 --> 00:02:55,551
- I trust you brought something to wear?
- Yeah.
18
00:02:56,593 --> 00:02:58,637
[host] Alpha, centennial playlist.
19
00:02:58,637 --> 00:03:00,722
["Up, Up and Away" playing]
20
00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:08,480
[gasps]
21
00:03:09,064 --> 00:03:10,732
We don't normally eat like this.
22
00:03:10,732 --> 00:03:13,068
Mind you, it's only because of
New Year's Eve.
23
00:03:13,068 --> 00:03:17,197
This food cost us six months of
our carbon credits, and we're not rich.
24
00:03:17,197 --> 00:03:20,200
You'll get a tip, of course.
Just don't expect it to be--
25
00:03:20,868 --> 00:03:22,411
It's going to be disappointing.
26
00:03:22,411 --> 00:03:25,956
What else? Champagne's there.
Hors d'oeuvres over there.
27
00:03:25,956 --> 00:03:29,209
And we'll get you out in time
for your own party, I promise.
28
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:30,335
Oh, I don't have--
29
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:33,881
[host] Auggie?
30
00:03:41,471 --> 00:03:42,472
[sighs]
31
00:03:43,140 --> 00:03:44,141
Tomorrow morning?
32
00:03:44,141 --> 00:03:46,268
[caller]
It's always better to start fresh.
33
00:03:46,935 --> 00:03:50,939
- To let you know, it will probably be on...
- [host] Auggie?
34
00:03:50,939 --> 00:03:52,983
- Did you say something?
- No. That's my wife.
35
00:03:52,983 --> 00:03:55,819
- [host] August Bolo, where have you gone?
- Does that mean you're reconsidering?
36
00:03:55,819 --> 00:03:56,987
No. No, no, no. Um...
37
00:03:56,987 --> 00:03:58,989
[host]
Our guests will be here any minute, dear.
38
00:03:58,989 --> 00:04:00,532
No second thoughts.
39
00:04:00,532 --> 00:04:02,868
- [footsteps approaching]
- If you say so.
40
00:04:02,868 --> 00:04:04,536
I need a real commitment here.
41
00:04:04,536 --> 00:04:06,163
- [host] Auggie?
- I'll be ready.
42
00:04:06,163 --> 00:04:07,122
[device beeps]
43
00:04:09,082 --> 00:04:12,169
I've been searching all over for you.
Playing Unicorn Capture again?
44
00:04:12,169 --> 00:04:14,379
What? I don't even like that game anymore.
45
00:04:15,797 --> 00:04:19,468
What? A guy can't just sit
on the floor of his own closet?
46
00:04:20,385 --> 00:04:23,472
- I'm not playing anything.
- Yeah, this time.
47
00:04:26,517 --> 00:04:29,770
Imagine you spent our carbon
on something productive,
48
00:04:29,770 --> 00:04:33,106
- instead of your virtual pets or games.
- Or investments.
49
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:37,694
500 shares in a company that
was going to invent self-walking socks.
50
00:04:37,694 --> 00:04:39,196
Those socks were a good idea.
51
00:04:39,196 --> 00:04:43,742
Sure, until the prototype
walked someone off a cliff. Oops.
52
00:04:43,742 --> 00:04:47,120
It was a bridge, and it was poorly marked,
and it was badly lit.
53
00:04:48,205 --> 00:04:50,749
Anyway, you're the one who's using
all of our carbon points
54
00:04:50,749 --> 00:04:52,334
for this little soiree tonight.
55
00:04:53,377 --> 00:04:54,711
Why are you so dressed up?
56
00:04:56,630 --> 00:05:00,843
It's New Year's Eve,
and you're sitting in a closet.
57
00:05:01,426 --> 00:05:07,891
At least I'm still trying to, for you,
for us, to make things festive.
58
00:05:07,891 --> 00:05:09,434
I'm festive.
59
00:05:10,060 --> 00:05:11,687
You are not festive.
60
00:05:12,938 --> 00:05:16,149
You think you know me.
You don't know what I--
61
00:05:18,151 --> 00:05:19,152
What?
62
00:05:21,071 --> 00:05:22,781
What don't I know? [sighs]
63
00:05:24,157 --> 00:05:25,993
- What?
- Just saying.
64
00:05:27,286 --> 00:05:28,579
Ugh, forget it.
65
00:05:28,579 --> 00:05:30,873
- [doorbell dings]
- They're here.
66
00:05:32,791 --> 00:05:36,461
Oh, and Auggie, put on some pants.
67
00:05:43,093 --> 00:05:44,761
- Yay!
- Yay!
68
00:05:44,761 --> 00:05:46,680
You're here. You made it!
69
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,640
- Hi.
- Eloise.
70
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,517
- Elodie. [chuckles]
- Right.
71
00:05:50,517 --> 00:05:52,186
W-Was the last one an Eloise?
72
00:05:52,186 --> 00:05:54,021
- Eleanor.
- [host] Oh.
73
00:05:54,021 --> 00:05:55,480
Thank you so much for having us.
74
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,565
- This is--
- Oh. Ah!
75
00:05:56,565 --> 00:05:58,817
- We don't--
- Elodie is trying to bring back hugging.
76
00:05:58,817 --> 00:06:01,945
- It's so natural. [chuckles]
- Ah. Yeah. No, we don't touch.
77
00:06:02,821 --> 00:06:04,698
- Anybody?
- Anybody. [chuckles]
78
00:06:04,698 --> 00:06:07,534
- Oh. Okay. [chuckles]
- [chuckling]
79
00:06:07,534 --> 00:06:10,078
- I love your dress. I love vintage.
- Oh, thank you.
80
00:06:10,078 --> 00:06:11,413
Uh, let me take your oxygen.
81
00:06:11,413 --> 00:06:12,748
- I have a girl here.
- Oh, here you go.
82
00:06:12,748 --> 00:06:14,374
She's a bit of a mess. Excuse me.
83
00:06:14,374 --> 00:06:16,418
- Annie!
- Wow.
84
00:06:16,418 --> 00:06:18,337
- Can I get some help with these?
- Yes.
85
00:06:18,337 --> 00:06:19,796
- Ah.
- [chuckles]
86
00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:22,049
- [Elodie, Nic] Thank you.
- [Anna] Yes.
87
00:06:22,049 --> 00:06:24,384
[camera clicking]
88
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:27,137
Oh, what is that?
Does she have that thing?
89
00:06:27,137 --> 00:06:28,472
The chip, yeah.
90
00:06:29,264 --> 00:06:30,891
Sweetie, didn't we talk about this?
91
00:06:31,391 --> 00:06:34,770
Your apartment just got 6,000 bangs.
92
00:06:34,770 --> 00:06:37,397
7,000, 12,000.
93
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:39,233
- [chiming]
- Is that an ad? I hate that.
94
00:06:39,233 --> 00:06:41,401
Okay, drinks! Annie, please.
95
00:06:41,401 --> 00:06:46,031
It's micro-engineered grapes
from the last decarbonized bubble in Napa.
96
00:06:46,031 --> 00:06:47,157
[Nic, Elodie] Mmm.
97
00:06:49,117 --> 00:06:51,078
Mmm. [smacks lips] Yum.
98
00:06:51,078 --> 00:06:53,580
- Mmm. What a treat.
- [grunts, coughs]
99
00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:54,748
It tastes like armpits.
100
00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:56,333
[Anna] I've heard that actually.
101
00:06:57,376 --> 00:06:59,211
[host] That's the Napa terroir, darling.
102
00:06:59,211 --> 00:07:01,797
You've probably never had anything
to eat or drink
103
00:07:01,797 --> 00:07:03,549
that wasn't made out of kelp.
104
00:07:03,549 --> 00:07:06,635
No disrespect to the kelp farmers
in our midst.
105
00:07:06,635 --> 00:07:09,179
Oh, none taken. It's a good business.
106
00:07:09,179 --> 00:07:12,933
[Elodie] So, how did you two meet?
Did you know it was true love?
107
00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:14,059
We did.
108
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,563
He was the most interesting man
I'd ever met.
109
00:07:17,563 --> 00:07:21,358
I always believed August
was destined for greatness.
110
00:07:21,358 --> 00:07:23,610
And she's been disappointed ever since.
[chuckles]
111
00:07:23,610 --> 00:07:25,112
[Elodie chuckles]
112
00:07:25,737 --> 00:07:26,738
What do you do?
113
00:07:26,738 --> 00:07:28,824
- [host] Well, first, he tried wind.
- I--
114
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,660
Of course, there's no more wind.
115
00:07:31,660 --> 00:07:34,621
Then solar. Well, that went bust too.
116
00:07:34,621 --> 00:07:36,874
It's not my fault
that there's no more wind or sun.
117
00:07:36,874 --> 00:07:40,502
It's not my fault that we're drowning in
smoke and fog on this desiccated planet.
118
00:07:40,502 --> 00:07:42,588
It's not my fault, Sylvie.
It's not my fault.
119
00:07:42,588 --> 00:07:45,716
Whoa. It's no one's fault truly,
is it? [chuckles]
120
00:07:45,716 --> 00:07:46,925
How did you two meet?
121
00:07:46,925 --> 00:07:49,636
- [Nic] Auggie was my mentor.
- [Elodie] Oh.
122
00:07:49,636 --> 00:07:53,724
I idolized him.
A visionary who had all the skills.
123
00:07:53,724 --> 00:07:56,059
Not to mention, a gorgeous young wife.
124
00:07:57,060 --> 00:07:59,396
Taught me everything
back when I worked for the government.
125
00:07:59,396 --> 00:08:01,815
Back when I still believed
in the government,
126
00:08:01,815 --> 00:08:05,152
along with Santa Claus
and binary systems. [chuckles]
127
00:08:05,152 --> 00:08:07,362
When are you getting
in the private sector, Aug?
128
00:08:07,863 --> 00:08:11,909
You're wasting away in municipal
filtration. A cog in the machine.
129
00:08:11,909 --> 00:08:13,744
Time to get out.
130
00:08:14,912 --> 00:08:17,497
You're right. I should get out.
131
00:08:19,082 --> 00:08:20,834
[Nic] I have a friend. [clears throat]
132
00:08:21,335 --> 00:08:25,297
Guy's a tech trillionaire in New Zealand.
He's bailing on the whole thing.
133
00:08:25,297 --> 00:08:26,757
"Bailing"? What do you mean?
134
00:08:26,757 --> 00:08:32,596
Well, planet's unlivable clearly.
So, he and his wife signed up to digitize.
135
00:08:32,596 --> 00:08:34,014
[Sylvie] Oh, I've heard of it.
136
00:08:34,014 --> 00:08:36,683
- You upload yourself or something.
- [Elodie] Mm-hmm.
137
00:08:36,683 --> 00:08:41,605
And they store you in the cloud
until the planet heals itself.
138
00:08:41,605 --> 00:08:45,943
Whatever that means. Uh, blue skies,
clear lakes, breathable air.
139
00:08:45,943 --> 00:08:48,904
At which point,
they magically reanimate you
140
00:08:48,904 --> 00:08:51,949
into this decarbonized utopia
in a body of your choice.
141
00:08:51,949 --> 00:08:55,911
Ugh. Are people really signing up
for this nonsense?
142
00:08:55,911 --> 00:08:59,998
People will sign up for anything.
Moon colony, teleportation.
143
00:08:59,998 --> 00:09:04,127
Nobody ever went broke
betting on humanity's misguided optimism.
144
00:09:04,127 --> 00:09:05,712
I heard it worked in a dog.
145
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:08,841
More champagne.
146
00:09:10,092 --> 00:09:11,844
- I think it's kinda cool.
- Yeah.
147
00:09:11,844 --> 00:09:15,514
[Elodie] The cloud sounds more interesting
than what your generation calls reality.
148
00:09:15,514 --> 00:09:18,016
Okay, I'm sold. What do we bring?
149
00:09:18,016 --> 00:09:20,853
- [chuckles]
- Oh, how does one dress for the cloud?
150
00:09:20,853 --> 00:09:23,689
- Is there room service? How's the view?
- [Sylvie] Mm-hmm.
151
00:09:23,689 --> 00:09:26,275
Come on. It's not a hotel, it's a storage.
152
00:09:26,859 --> 00:09:28,360
They just put you to sleep.
153
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,822
Well, then I hope it's a very deep sleep,
154
00:09:31,822 --> 00:09:36,910
and when I wake up, I wanna be
in a 22-year-old body with 2.5% body fat.
155
00:09:36,910 --> 00:09:39,246
You are fine as you are.
156
00:09:39,246 --> 00:09:41,456
[Elodie] Yeah. Joke all you want.
157
00:09:41,456 --> 00:09:45,627
I, for once, would love to wake up,
magically, in a better world.
158
00:09:45,627 --> 00:09:48,213
What makes you think
the world's going to get better?
159
00:09:48,213 --> 00:09:52,134
I mean, obviously, the sacrifice
that everyone's making.
160
00:09:52,843 --> 00:09:54,636
- The rations, everything--
- Oh.
161
00:09:55,304 --> 00:10:00,934
Human history is the story of
one terrible catastrophe after another.
162
00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:05,981
Most created by our own
hopelessly incorrigible selfishness.
163
00:10:06,857 --> 00:10:10,235
Well, the problem with beaming
into the future is that wherever we go,
164
00:10:10,235 --> 00:10:13,113
we'll have to take us with us.
165
00:10:13,113 --> 00:10:15,365
[Nic] Mmm. [chuckles]
166
00:10:15,365 --> 00:10:16,450
Would you go?
167
00:10:20,412 --> 00:10:23,582
The technicians arrive in the morning,
first thing.
168
00:10:24,458 --> 00:10:27,169

00:20:05,330 --> 00:20:10,294
So, I've been trying to get my art career
off the ground for years now.
337
00:20:11,503 --> 00:20:14,840
That's one of the reasons why I came here,
'cause Sylvie's an art dealer and...
338
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,091
- Ah.
- [Elodie] And I--
339
00:20:16,091 --> 00:20:19,761
I personally like
to work with discarded or found material.
340
00:20:19,761 --> 00:20:21,930
- Right.
- I-I-I love to work with dung
341
00:20:21,930 --> 00:20:23,098
- because it just--
- Dung?
342
00:20:23,098 --> 00:20:24,641
[Elodie] Yeah, because honestly,
343
00:20:24,641 --> 00:20:26,977
if we don't find the beauty
in our waste these days,
344
00:20:26,977 --> 00:20:29,188
I mean, where will we find it, right?
345
00:20:29,813 --> 00:20:31,023
I don't know.
346
00:20:35,110 --> 00:20:36,486
I have to say...
347
00:20:40,574 --> 00:20:42,659
I think what you're doing is very brave.
348
00:20:42,659 --> 00:20:47,873
To just take a leap into the unknown.
To completely erase your carbon footprint.
349
00:20:48,415 --> 00:20:51,210
I don't know a lot of people
that would be courageous enough
350
00:20:51,210 --> 00:20:52,878
to do something like this.
351
00:20:55,714 --> 00:20:57,674
I just think you have one problem.
352
00:20:57,674 --> 00:20:58,759
What's that?
353
00:20:59,635 --> 00:21:02,971
Oh, well, you still love your wife.
354
00:21:04,473 --> 00:21:10,771
I don't think we should make this night
any more complicated than it already is.
355
00:21:10,771 --> 00:21:16,109
Oh, I'm not talking
about anything complicated.
356
00:21:17,277 --> 00:21:20,322
- Huh. You're not? [chuckles]
- Huh.
357
00:21:20,864 --> 00:21:24,368
What I'm talking about, it's very simple.
358
00:21:26,578 --> 00:21:28,539
Bodies in space.
359
00:21:29,581 --> 00:21:31,458
Physical attraction.
360
00:21:32,626 --> 00:21:36,463
Two lonely people finding each other.
361
00:21:37,673 --> 00:21:39,591
Comforting each other.
362
00:21:41,093 --> 00:21:42,302
[chuckles]
363
00:21:42,302 --> 00:21:45,180
Oh, whoa. Whoa.
364
00:21:45,889 --> 00:21:50,310
Uh... [chuckles] ...I'm sorry.
I thought-- [stammers]
365
00:21:51,854 --> 00:21:53,313
You know...
366
00:21:53,313 --> 00:21:55,148
W-What?
367
00:21:55,148 --> 00:21:56,441
[sighs]
368
00:21:57,401 --> 00:21:59,194
I don't touch.
369
00:21:59,945 --> 00:22:05,450
Ah, yes, you don't. I forgot.
370
00:22:08,495 --> 00:22:10,038
What about with Auggie?
371
00:22:10,831 --> 00:22:11,874
I...
372
00:22:14,209 --> 00:22:17,087
I can't remember when.
373
00:22:17,921 --> 00:22:22,426
You say you want wilderness.
You're already in it. You both are.
374
00:22:22,926 --> 00:22:26,471
Fucking lost in the wild
of human relationships.
375
00:22:26,471 --> 00:22:30,767
The only way out of it is together. Right?
376
00:22:31,602 --> 00:22:34,479
Maybe you're just doing this
to see if she still cares.
377
00:22:35,981 --> 00:22:39,902
Things haven't been good
between us for a very long time.
378
00:22:40,736 --> 00:22:44,364
And I know
that times can always get better,
379
00:22:44,948 --> 00:22:46,366
but, quite frankly,
380
00:22:47,034 --> 00:22:52,164
I'm more optimistic that
the Earth will heal than that we will.
381
00:22:52,748 --> 00:22:57,961
So, no skin on skin?
382
00:22:57,961 --> 00:23:01,215
[breathing heavily, moaning]
383
00:23:07,346 --> 00:23:09,515
[Nic grunting, breathing heavily]
384
00:23:11,308 --> 00:23:12,726
[August] So what are you proposing?
385
00:23:12,726 --> 00:23:14,686
I want your spot on the lifeboat.
386
00:23:14,686 --> 00:23:16,813
[laughs] You wanna digitize?
387
00:23:16,813 --> 00:23:19,441
From the four of us,
I'm the one who should go.
388
00:23:20,317 --> 00:23:23,070
I'm-- I'm young. Sorry.
389
00:23:23,070 --> 00:23:25,948
I'm strong enough to build
whatever needs to be built.
390
00:23:25,948 --> 00:23:31,703
I'm a joiner. I'm open-minded.
I'm eco-conscious. I'm-- I'm tech-savvy.
391
00:23:31,703 --> 00:23:33,455
I-- I have three million followers,
392
00:23:33,455 --> 00:23:36,083
and everything I post gets two
to three million bangs.
393
00:23:36,083 --> 00:23:40,045
Yeah, but don't you have people or--
or parents?
394
00:23:41,088 --> 00:23:42,297
Or Nic? You got Nic.
395
00:23:42,297 --> 00:23:45,968
It's no one that is worth
passing up an opportunity like this.
396
00:23:46,552 --> 00:23:47,886
The truth is I'm just broke.
397
00:23:47,886 --> 00:23:49,638
I'm a dasher for my day job
398
00:23:49,638 --> 00:23:52,432
and I strip online
for black-market carbon, and I just--
399
00:23:52,432 --> 00:23:55,727
I'm doing all of this just
so that I can keep the lights on,
400
00:23:55,727 --> 00:23:59,356
so I can do my art after work hours,
but I just can't keep up.
401
00:23:59,982 --> 00:24:01,733
I am meant for the future.
402
00:24:02,693 --> 00:24:04,069
- Eloise.
- Elodie.
403
00:24:04,069 --> 00:24:04,987
Right.
404
00:24:04,987 --> 00:24:10,033
Even if I wanted to give you this spot,
which I actually don't, I couldn't.
405
00:24:10,576 --> 00:24:12,119
It's nontransferable.
406
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,080
- Everything is DNA verified.
- Okay.
407
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,417
Well, you can give me a fingernail
or a hair of your beard.
408
00:24:18,417 --> 00:24:21,879
Also, there's a very
in-depth psychological evaluation,
409
00:24:21,879 --> 00:24:26,758
which, no offense,
but I don't think you'd pass.
410
00:24:26,758 --> 00:24:28,844
What's in the evaluation?
411
00:24:28,844 --> 00:24:31,138
- [breathing heavily, grunting]
- [zipper opens]
412
00:24:32,890 --> 00:24:34,016
[Sylvie moans]
413
00:24:34,016 --> 00:24:36,101
Alpha, turn on LifePause.
414
00:24:36,810 --> 00:24:38,645
[device chimes]
415
00:24:38,645 --> 00:24:41,398
- It's actually just a series of questions.
- Okay.
416
00:24:41,398 --> 00:24:43,609
How are you so beautiful?
417
00:24:43,609 --> 00:24:45,444
[breathing heavily]
418
00:24:45,444 --> 00:24:47,112
You're so beautiful.
419
00:24:47,112 --> 00:24:50,073
"Have you ever thought
about harming yourself?"
420
00:24:50,073 --> 00:24:52,910
- [moaning]
- [Nic grunting]
421
00:24:52,910 --> 00:24:56,371
"How many sexual partners have you had,
and how were they?"
422
00:24:56,371 --> 00:24:59,833
- [Nic] I wish I could touch you.
- [moans] But you can't.
423
00:25:00,667 --> 00:25:03,253
"What is your favorite flavor of ice cream
and why?"
424
00:25:03,253 --> 00:25:04,505
Well, that's easy.
425
00:25:04,505 --> 00:25:06,381
- Mint chip. It's delicious.
- Mmm.
426
00:25:06,381 --> 00:25:08,175
[moaning continues]
427
00:25:09,676 --> 00:25:12,888
"Have you ever been in love,
and how did you know?"
428
00:25:14,806 --> 00:25:15,849
"Are you spiritual?"
429
00:25:15,849 --> 00:25:17,309
Oh, yes. [breathing heavily]
430
00:25:17,309 --> 00:25:19,478
"If yes, what do you believe in?"
431
00:25:19,478 --> 00:25:20,687
Oh, God. [breathes heavily]
432
00:25:20,687 --> 00:25:22,981
"What would you do
if you were suddenly faced
433
00:25:22,981 --> 00:25:25,400
with an enormous brown bear?" [chuckles]
434
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,654
Oh, yeah, that-- [clears throat]
Some of the questions are simulations.
435
00:25:28,654 --> 00:25:30,155
- [bear growls]
- [gasps] Oh, my God!
436
00:25:30,155 --> 00:25:31,740
- [Nic yelling]
- [moans]
437
00:25:33,575 --> 00:25:34,868
[groans]
438
00:25:34,868 --> 00:25:37,788
It's holo.
It's just a exercise, it's not real.
439
00:25:37,788 --> 00:25:39,831
- Wait, wait, wait.
- No! It's--
440
00:25:40,624 --> 00:25:44,545
- It's gonna kill me! [screams]
- It's fine! Don't run!
441
00:25:44,545 --> 00:25:48,799
- It's-- It's-- [stammers] Elodie!
- [Elodie screaming]
442
00:25:48,799 --> 00:25:50,801
- No! Leave me, please!
- [bear growling]
443
00:25:50,801 --> 00:25:52,678
[Sylvie] Auggie? What's going on?
444
00:25:52,678 --> 00:25:56,431
Ah, it's nothing.
It's a psych eval for LifePause.
445
00:25:56,431 --> 00:25:58,684
- Elodie wanted to see it.
- [bear panting]
446
00:25:59,518 --> 00:26:03,522
- Alpha! Turn off LifePause!
- [device chimes]
447
00:26:04,648 --> 00:26:06,942
What is it evaluating exactly?
448
00:26:08,110 --> 00:26:11,947
I guess... [sighs]
...basic survival skills in the wild?
449
00:26:14,491 --> 00:26:16,159
Or maybe a person's ability
450
00:26:16,159 --> 00:26:19,454
to distinguish
between fantasy and what's real?
451
00:26:21,248 --> 00:26:24,918
Obviously, you'd make a good candidate.
[chuckles]
452
00:26:27,337 --> 00:26:28,547
I wouldn't go.
453
00:26:29,673 --> 00:26:32,718
I would never, ever go.
454
00:26:33,802 --> 00:26:35,179
I wouldn't give up.
455
00:26:35,179 --> 00:26:37,389
Sylvie, I--
456
00:26:39,516 --> 00:26:42,102
I didn't wanna hurt you.
457
00:26:43,687 --> 00:26:44,855
You didn't.
458
00:26:45,522 --> 00:26:49,568
Okay, but-- but listen... [stammers]
...I-- It's-- I guess,
459
00:26:50,485 --> 00:26:53,155
I didn't think you'd care
if I left or not.
460
00:26:55,157 --> 00:26:56,783
How can you say that?
461
00:26:57,993 --> 00:27:00,871
I didn't think there was anything left
between us anymore.
462
00:27:01,872 --> 00:27:03,540
Don't try to justify it.
463
00:27:03,540 --> 00:27:05,918
Really. Please!
You gotta understand, this is--
464
00:27:05,918 --> 00:27:09,546
This is as much of a shock to me
as it is to you, in a way.
465
00:27:09,546 --> 00:27:11,632
I mean, I never imagined
that it would work
466
00:27:11,632 --> 00:27:13,425
and that I'd be picked for the lottery.
467
00:27:13,425 --> 00:27:16,553
And, certainly, I hoped I'd get a chance
to talk to you about it first.
468
00:27:17,763 --> 00:27:19,264
But you never listen to me.
469
00:27:20,807 --> 00:27:23,143
You barely even look at me anymore.
470
00:27:24,686 --> 00:27:26,855
And I know I've disappointed you.
471
00:27:28,273 --> 00:27:33,737
I know this is not the life
that either one of us envisioned it to be.
472
00:27:34,947 --> 00:27:37,991
I mean, I'm disappointed too.
473
00:27:38,575 --> 00:27:39,576
But...
474
00:27:41,411 --> 00:27:43,997
we could never communicate
without fighting.
475
00:27:43,997 --> 00:27:46,792
- Where's Elodie?
- Nic, can you give us a minute?
476
00:27:46,792 --> 00:27:47,876
Yeah.
477
00:27:47,876 --> 00:27:49,503
Wait, don't go.
478
00:27:53,507 --> 00:27:54,633
[zipper closes]
479
00:27:55,926 --> 00:27:57,094
What?
480
00:27:57,803 --> 00:27:58,804
No.
481
00:27:58,804 --> 00:28:00,222
- What is it, buddy?
- What?
482
00:28:00,222 --> 00:28:01,306
Are you--
483
00:28:02,599 --> 00:28:03,684
Did you--
484
00:28:04,518 --> 00:28:07,437
No, you didn't. Did you?
485
00:28:07,437 --> 00:28:09,565
What did-- [stammering]
486
00:28:09,565 --> 00:28:11,900
I-- [scoffs] What?
487
00:28:11,900 --> 00:28:14,361
You couldn't even wait until I go?
488
00:28:14,361 --> 00:28:18,156
- Auggie. It-- It's not what you think.
- [August sighs]
489
00:28:18,156 --> 00:28:19,658
It-- It was, uh...
490
00:28:21,535 --> 00:28:24,746
She started, uh...
491
00:28:26,123 --> 00:28:27,249
i-it.
492
00:28:28,208 --> 00:28:30,669
"She started it"?
493
00:28:31,295 --> 00:28:32,754
What are you, six?
494
00:28:32,754 --> 00:28:33,839
So, it's true?
495
00:28:33,839 --> 00:28:36,592
No! I-- [stammers]
496
00:28:36,592 --> 00:28:41,263
Okay, yes,
but it was completely contactless.
497
00:28:41,263 --> 00:28:44,600
- Right.
- And, of course,
498
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,228
it's still stupid and awful.
499
00:28:48,228 --> 00:28:50,772
- Well, I don't think it was--
- Shut up, Nic!
500
00:28:52,232 --> 00:28:56,069
But it was only because you were--
501
00:28:57,279 --> 00:29:01,742
I mean, we are both y-- You're leaving us.
502
00:29:01,742 --> 00:29:05,162
And-- And it happened!
503
00:29:05,162 --> 00:29:07,164
Well, this is just perfect!
504
00:29:08,373 --> 00:29:11,710
It's just really perfect!
505
00:29:13,212 --> 00:29:18,425
You just had to have the final victory,
didn't you?
506
00:29:19,635 --> 00:29:23,013
One last kick to the face
and then just send me on my way!
507
00:29:23,013 --> 00:29:25,849
That's-- That's not what this was.
508
00:29:25,849 --> 00:29:27,518
- [Anna] Excuse me.
- What is it?
509
00:29:27,518 --> 00:29:32,356
Oh, I am sorry.
Just, um, dinner is served.
510
00:29:32,356 --> 00:29:34,650
["Time Of The Season" playing]
511
00:29:51,291 --> 00:29:52,292
Thank you.
512
00:29:56,088 --> 00:29:57,881
Would you like some tomatoes, sir?
513
00:29:57,881 --> 00:29:59,132
- [August] No.
- Okay.
514
00:30:09,268 --> 00:30:11,603
- [Sylvie] Alpha, off.
- [music stops]
515
00:30:15,983 --> 00:30:17,276
I'd like to make a toast.
516
00:30:17,276 --> 00:30:19,486
Okay, I think I'll just be-- Okay, bye.
517
00:30:20,863 --> 00:30:22,614
A toast of gratitude, really.
518
00:30:23,782 --> 00:30:28,245
See, it's my last night on Earth,
in this particular era, anyway.
519
00:30:28,245 --> 00:30:29,496
And honestly,
520
00:30:29,496 --> 00:30:34,001
a part of me thought that
it would be sort of a-- a bland farewell.
521
00:30:34,543 --> 00:30:37,713
Great meal, couple of funny stories.
522
00:30:38,338 --> 00:30:40,841
[chuckling] Like that time
we went on that karaoke bender,
523
00:30:40,841 --> 00:30:43,969
until we sang every last song
from the Blue Ivy Carter Holiday Album.
524
00:30:44,595 --> 00:30:47,806
You had the whole audience transfixed
by the sound of your voice.
525
00:30:49,141 --> 00:30:50,726
You had me, anyway.
526
00:30:51,935 --> 00:30:55,063
And so I thought,
let's just let be bygones be bygones.
527
00:30:56,064 --> 00:30:58,483
Bury a couple of our many hatchets.
528
00:30:58,483 --> 00:31:03,155
Find some resolution for my time here,
for our time here.
529
00:31:04,615 --> 00:31:07,910
Because there were some good times.
530
00:31:10,454 --> 00:31:12,331
But things have taken a-- a turn.
531
00:31:14,416 --> 00:31:16,168
Some might wonder if I'm angry.
532
00:31:19,046 --> 00:31:20,547
It's my last night on Earth.
533
00:31:20,547 --> 00:31:22,841
My wife fucks my friend.
534
00:31:22,841 --> 00:31:24,718
Someone whom I've worked with
535
00:31:25,302 --> 00:31:27,304
- and mentored.
- [sighs, groans]
536
00:31:27,304 --> 00:31:30,766
I've always looked up to you.
It was contactless.
537
00:31:30,766 --> 00:31:34,478
The truth is,
you both have given me a great gift.
538
00:31:36,104 --> 00:31:41,151
If ever I had any doubt about digitizing,
you have utterly squashed them.
539
00:31:41,151 --> 00:31:47,074
You leave me now with zero regrets,
no second thoughts,
540
00:31:47,074 --> 00:31:50,160
nothing but excitement
about what's to come.
541
00:31:51,328 --> 00:31:54,623
So, I wanna thank you, both of you,
542
00:31:55,332 --> 00:31:59,461
for making my decision
to leave you forever
543
00:32:01,213 --> 00:32:07,386
so absolutely and appallingly clear.
544
00:32:10,055 --> 00:32:13,809
So, cheers.
545
00:32:13,809 --> 00:32:15,435
- [August sips]
- [stammers]
546
00:32:28,031 --> 00:32:29,199
[sighs]
547
00:32:32,578 --> 00:32:36,248
To my darling Auggie,
548
00:32:37,165 --> 00:32:44,173
I'd be lying if I said I hadn't, at times,
fantasized about something like this.
549
00:32:45,632 --> 00:32:48,468
What wife hasn't thought
about how lovely it would be
550
00:32:48,468 --> 00:32:53,348
to slowly slice up her husband
like a giant, juicy melon?
551
00:32:53,348 --> 00:32:59,104
So, thank you, Auggie,
for ending our time so seamlessly,
552
00:32:59,104 --> 00:33:01,940
and for once in your life,
553
00:33:02,566 --> 00:33:06,445
planning
and organizing something yourself.
554
00:33:08,822 --> 00:33:12,451
I guess there's a lot
to celebrate tonight after all.
555
00:33:19,958 --> 00:33:22,544
I-I also have something to-- to say.
556
00:33:22,544 --> 00:33:24,421
- It's clearly not the time--
- [shushes]
557
00:33:27,132 --> 00:33:28,800
You're all fucking crazy.
558
00:33:29,384 --> 00:33:32,721
He's crazy, she's crazy,
and you're crazy for bringing me here.
559
00:33:32,721 --> 00:33:34,973
[breathes shakily]
560
00:33:34,973 --> 00:33:37,392
We're over. That's all.
561
00:33:38,268 --> 00:33:40,270
[scoffs, clears throat]
562
00:33:40,270 --> 00:33:46,235
Well, I suppose
if we're all making toasts,
563
00:33:46,235 --> 00:33:47,653
I'll say a few words.
564
00:33:49,488 --> 00:33:50,489
Auggie...
565
00:33:52,866 --> 00:33:56,703
I'm sorry I had contactless sex with
your wife on your last night on Earth.
566
00:33:56,703 --> 00:33:59,665
It wasn't my intention to hurt you
or ruin your evening.
567
00:33:59,665 --> 00:34:02,042
[August]
It's fine. It was a drunken mistake.
568
00:34:02,042 --> 00:34:04,336
No, that's the thing
I wanted to clarify actually.
569
00:34:05,337 --> 00:34:06,755
Um... [clears throat]
570
00:34:06,755 --> 00:34:09,091
[sighs] Yeah, I wanna say this.
571
00:34:10,884 --> 00:34:12,010
This feels right.
572
00:34:13,094 --> 00:34:14,471
This was no mistake for me.
573
00:34:15,848 --> 00:34:20,393
I am-- I've always been in love with you.
574
00:34:20,393 --> 00:34:22,187
[sighs]
575
00:34:22,187 --> 00:34:23,355
Jesus Christ.
576
00:34:23,355 --> 00:34:26,315
I've been in love with her
for well over a decade now.
577
00:34:26,315 --> 00:34:28,527
Since the first time I saw her, actually.
578
00:34:28,527 --> 00:34:33,907
We have come close to hooking up
a couple of times over the years.
579
00:34:33,907 --> 00:34:36,368
Oh, no, we didn't.
580
00:34:36,368 --> 00:34:37,786
At my dad's funeral.
581
00:34:37,786 --> 00:34:42,708
Oh, come on! It w-- It was just a hug.
I felt bad for you.
582
00:34:42,708 --> 00:34:46,920
And, of course, Sylvie's the reason
I could never be with anyone else.
583
00:34:48,088 --> 00:34:51,216
Not really. Everyone paled in comparison.
584
00:34:51,216 --> 00:34:52,134
Oh.
585
00:34:52,717 --> 00:34:53,802
[Nic sighs]
586
00:34:53,802 --> 00:34:56,304
I don't think you're crazy
for wanting to get the hell out of here,
587
00:34:56,304 --> 00:35:03,270
but I do think you're crazy
for leaving your wife.
588
00:35:04,229 --> 00:35:07,149
An amazing, beautiful woman.
589
00:35:08,483 --> 00:35:12,779
I hope that, um, when Auggie's gone...
590
00:35:14,323 --> 00:35:15,741
Ah, Jesus.
591
00:35:15,741 --> 00:35:17,701
- [Elodie] Oh! Get him! Yes!
- [Sylvie] Auggie! No!
592
00:35:17,701 --> 00:35:20,412
- The food! No!
- [Elodie] Shut it! Don't even--
593
00:35:20,412 --> 00:35:22,956
- Cheating, wife-stealing--
- [struggling]
594
00:35:22,956 --> 00:35:24,583
- Auggie!
- You stay away from my wife.
595
00:35:24,583 --> 00:35:27,169
- I'll fucking kill you, you fuckface!
- Get off of him!
596
00:35:27,169 --> 00:35:29,004
Leave him alone!
597
00:35:29,004 --> 00:35:31,882
- [Elodie] Get off of him! Get off of him!
- [Sylvie] No!
598
00:35:31,882 --> 00:35:34,343
- Enough!
- [August panting]
599
00:35:34,343 --> 00:35:38,263
Daddy? What's going on?
600
00:35:38,263 --> 00:35:40,182
Go back to bed, Agnes.
601
00:35:40,182 --> 00:35:42,643
What are you doing?
602
00:35:42,643 --> 00:35:43,727
It's-- [stammers]
603
00:35:43,727 --> 00:35:47,731
We're just playing a little game, honey.
Funny, right?
604
00:35:47,731 --> 00:35:48,815
Can I play?
605
00:35:48,815 --> 00:35:52,027
No, sweetheart, you should be in bed.
Let me take you back up, okay?
606
00:35:52,027 --> 00:35:54,363
- They do have a child.
- It's complicated.
607
00:35:54,363 --> 00:35:55,447
[August] No, sweetie.
608
00:35:55,447 --> 00:35:58,408
- I'm gonna put her to sleep.
- No, please don't do that.
609
00:35:58,408 --> 00:36:00,077
- I have to.
- Don't.
610
00:36:00,077 --> 00:36:01,787
[Sylvie] Agnes, go to sleep.
611
00:36:01,787 --> 00:36:03,497
[chimes]
612
00:36:07,167 --> 00:36:10,170
- I hate it when you do that.
- I know. I hate it too.
613
00:36:11,463 --> 00:36:14,424
But maybe it's time
we all gave up our illusions.
614
00:36:15,175 --> 00:36:16,593
I'll take her back upstairs.
615
00:36:28,522 --> 00:36:32,860
- Is she a...
- [Nic] Yep. Infertility-bot.
616
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,153
[Elodie] I've never seen one so real.
617
00:36:36,613 --> 00:36:38,282
I think you should go now.
618
00:36:39,950 --> 00:36:42,119
- [Nic] Sure. Of course.
- [Elodie] Yeah.
619
00:36:43,036 --> 00:36:47,916
Um, Sylvie. Sylvie? I was talking to
Auggie about maybe giving me his ticket.
620
00:36:48,417 --> 00:36:49,835
I really wanna go.
621
00:36:50,669 --> 00:36:55,966
You're young. You have time.
One day, everyone will be doing it.
622
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:57,801
Yeah.
623
00:36:58,302 --> 00:36:59,720
We need our oxygen.
624
00:37:01,013 --> 00:37:02,097
Annie?
625
00:37:02,890 --> 00:37:04,433
[stammering, clears throat]
626
00:37:09,229 --> 00:37:10,689
Sorry for the mess.
627
00:37:10,689 --> 00:37:11,982
Not a problem.
628
00:37:11,982 --> 00:37:14,109
A-And the food was delicious, really.
629
00:37:14,109 --> 00:37:18,488
Oh, I didn't make it. I'm just the server.
Freelance. Maid. [chuckles]
630
00:37:18,488 --> 00:37:19,823
[Elodie] Oh.
631
00:37:19,823 --> 00:37:21,283
Do you have the chip?
632
00:37:21,283 --> 00:37:22,826
No, I could never afford it.
633
00:37:22,826 --> 00:37:24,953
Oh, I know a guy that does it
for very cheap.
634
00:37:24,953 --> 00:37:27,122
If you're okay with ads, yeah?
635
00:37:28,582 --> 00:37:30,375
[sighs] Here you go.
636
00:37:32,503 --> 00:37:33,504
Um...
637
00:37:34,838 --> 00:37:37,132
Uh, happy New Year's.
638
00:37:39,009 --> 00:37:40,344
[inhales deeply]
639
00:37:41,011 --> 00:37:42,513
Tell him to have fun up there.
640
00:37:42,513 --> 00:37:45,641
I will. If he remembers how.
641
00:37:47,226 --> 00:37:50,354
He was a good friend.
Tell him I'm-- I'm sorry--
642
00:37:50,354 --> 00:37:51,855
I will. Bye, Nic.
643
00:37:58,946 --> 00:38:00,697
- Sylvie, if there's a chance--
- Bye.
644
00:38:00,697 --> 00:38:01,782
I--
645
00:38:10,958 --> 00:38:14,336
It's okay, you can go up and turn in.
I'll finish this up and let myself out.
646
00:38:14,336 --> 00:38:17,464
It's New Year's Eve.
Didn't you say you had somewhere to be?
647
00:38:17,464 --> 00:38:18,590
No, nowhere.
648
00:38:19,341 --> 00:38:20,425
Oh.
649
00:38:21,426 --> 00:38:24,471
The last heat wave wiped out my family
and most of my friends.
650
00:38:26,139 --> 00:38:28,475
I was a massage therapist in Burbank.
651
00:38:29,601 --> 00:38:30,978
When there was a Burbank.
652
00:38:31,895 --> 00:38:34,398
[sighs] I'm so sorry.
653
00:38:35,315 --> 00:38:36,525
Anyway, it's funny.
654
00:38:38,318 --> 00:38:40,487
Your life looks pretty good to me.
[chuckles]
655
00:38:40,487 --> 00:38:42,447
Oh, yeah.
656
00:38:42,447 --> 00:38:43,574
[chuckles]
657
00:38:44,616 --> 00:38:45,617
Let me give you that tip.
658
00:38:45,617 --> 00:38:48,120
- No, you already said not to expect, so...
- [scoffs]
659
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,539
- The least I can do.
- [device chimes]
660
00:38:50,539 --> 00:38:51,623
Thanks.
661
00:39:03,844 --> 00:39:06,471
[singing in French]
662
00:39:13,687 --> 00:39:15,689
[singing continues]
663
00:39:19,610 --> 00:39:21,236
I suppose you have to pack.
664
00:39:22,863 --> 00:39:24,031
Or maybe you don't.
665
00:39:25,532 --> 00:39:27,326
Do you have to pack?
666
00:39:28,994 --> 00:39:30,329
Can I pack your voice?
667
00:39:32,748 --> 00:39:33,749
No.
668
00:39:37,377 --> 00:39:39,671
I sing to her every night, Auggie.
669
00:39:41,048 --> 00:39:42,049
I know you do.
670
00:39:46,178 --> 00:39:47,763
I know it's ridiculous.
671
00:39:50,057 --> 00:39:52,684
I know she can't hear me. [chuckles]
672
00:39:52,684 --> 00:39:55,187
[chuckles] It is not ridiculous.
673
00:39:59,650 --> 00:40:06,073
You're going tomorrow, but the truth is,
you left a long time ago.
674
00:40:07,199 --> 00:40:08,575
And I don't blame you.
675
00:40:10,035 --> 00:40:11,203
I've been cruel.
676
00:40:14,331 --> 00:40:15,624
I get it.
677
