00:00:11,446 --> 00:00:12,664
[phone chimes]

00:00:18,018 --> 00:00:19,019
[chimes]
4
00:00:22,109 --> 00:00:25,025
Hold that thought.
5
00:00:38,342 --> 00:00:40,170
[Ignatius breathing heavily]
6
00:00:46,394 --> 00:00:48,048
No.

00:00:49,875 --> 00:00:52,182
[siren wails in distance]

00:00:52,182 --> 00:00:54,054

[phone chiming repeatedly]

[phone chiming]

[chiming continues]
13
00:01:49,413 --> 00:01:51,328
[knock on door]
14
00:01:51,328 --> 00:01:54,331
Do you think this is funny?
15
00:01:54,331 --> 00:01:55,637
I-I don't know.
16
00:01:55,637 --> 00:01:57,204
I don't have
my reading glasses on.
17
00:01:57,204 --> 00:02:00,337
You've been texting me
all night,
18
00:02:00,337 --> 00:02:02,948
pretending to be
the monsignor.
19
00:02:02,948 --> 00:02:07,605
What is this,
some kind of grief therapy?
20
00:02:07,605 --> 00:02:09,390
Monsignor Korecki?
21
00:02:09,390 --> 00:02:10,652
Yes. Who else?
22
00:02:10,652 --> 00:02:12,654
With all due,
I wouldn't know how,
23
00:02:12,654 --> 00:02:14,221
even if I tried.
24
00:02:14,221 --> 00:02:17,789
Whoever is texting me knows
I have coffee and grapefruit
25
00:02:17,789 --> 00:02:19,530
in the morning, and that's you.
26
00:02:19,530 --> 00:02:24,144
Again, with all due, it's not
that outlandish of a breakfast.
27
00:02:24,144 --> 00:02:25,101
[phone chimes]
28
00:02:25,101 --> 00:02:27,234
IGNATIUS:
It's a voice text.
29
00:02:27,234 --> 00:02:32,021
Okay, so that can't
be you, right?
30
00:02:32,021 --> 00:02:34,284
'Cause you're standing
right here.
31
00:02:34,284 --> 00:02:35,764
True.
32
00:02:43,119 --> 00:02:46,035
- KORECKI: Frank, I need you.
- [gasps]
33
00:02:46,035 --> 00:02:49,995
I'm in a cold, dark place.
Help.
34
00:02:49,995 --> 00:02:51,867
Oh, oh, oh.
35
00:02:51,867 --> 00:02:56,001
Frank, I need you.
I'm in a cold, dark place.
36
00:02:56,001 --> 00:02:58,047
- Help.
- It's not him.
37
00:02:58,047 --> 00:02:59,309
It's not not him.
38
00:02:59,309 --> 00:03:02,399
- It obviously can't be him.
- Then who?
39
00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:05,185
Do you have any enemies, Father?
40
00:03:05,185 --> 00:03:08,057
You think this is a prank?
41
00:03:08,057 --> 00:03:10,233
The voice is too real.
42
00:03:10,233 --> 00:03:12,670
He knows things
no one else does.
43
00:03:12,670 --> 00:03:14,368
Would you like us
to look into it?
44
00:03:14,368 --> 00:03:15,760
Kristen and Ben?
45
00:03:16,935 --> 00:03:19,242
Yes. Look into it.
46
00:03:19,242 --> 00:03:22,289
- [phone buzzing]
- KURT: Do you need
to answer that?
47
00:03:22,289 --> 00:03:23,464
No, I'll call back.
48
00:03:23,464 --> 00:03:27,903
So this was 6:00 yesterday.
49
00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:32,734
You record your whole day?
50
00:03:32,734 --> 00:03:35,954
No. Uh, yes, uh,
in-in four-hour chunks.
51
00:03:35,954 --> 00:03:38,130
This is a miniature
surveillance camera.
52
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:39,610
- And it's recording right now?
- Yeah.
53
00:03:39,610 --> 00:03:42,874
I never know when I'm gonna
slip into a fugue state.
54
00:03:46,530 --> 00:03:48,228
BEN [in video]:
Oh, come on.
55
00:03:48,228 --> 00:03:50,360
That's when you regained
consciousness?
56
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,057
- Yeah.
- Is there anything
you experience
57
00:03:52,057 --> 00:03:53,581
just before these lapses?
58
00:03:53,581 --> 00:03:55,539
- What do you mean?
- Often when people
get migraines,
59
00:03:55,539 --> 00:03:56,584
there's some precursor.
60
00:03:56,584 --> 00:03:58,760
A sound or a smell.
61
00:04:00,718 --> 00:04:03,112
I smell burnt popcorn.
62
00:04:03,112 --> 00:04:05,157
- Really?
- Yeah.
63
00:04:11,773 --> 00:04:12,991
Put this on your wrist.
64
00:04:12,991 --> 00:04:16,734
Next time you smell popcorn,
snap it.
65
00:04:16,734 --> 00:04:19,041
Snap it hard on your wrist.
66
00:04:19,041 --> 00:04:20,260
Okay, what does that do?
67
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:21,739
Well, it's just an experiment,
68
00:04:21,739 --> 00:04:24,002
but see if it'll snap you
out of your migraine
69
00:04:24,002 --> 00:04:25,308
and your fugue state.
70
00:04:25,308 --> 00:04:27,092
- Okay.
- You're still having
hallucinations
71
00:04:27,092 --> 00:04:29,443
of that creature, that jinn?
72
00:04:29,443 --> 00:04:31,619
- Yeah. A qareen.
- And you said your mother
73
00:04:31,619 --> 00:04:33,360
told you stories about them
in your youth?
74
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,450
- Mm-hmm.
- Is there a chance
that this creature represents
75
00:04:36,450 --> 00:04:40,932
some kind of unresolved issues
from your childhood,
76
00:04:40,932 --> 00:04:42,934
or in your family?
77
00:04:45,285 --> 00:04:48,462
IGNATIUS:
Matt, you there?
78
00:04:48,462 --> 00:04:50,333
[chimes]
79
00:04:52,422 --> 00:04:54,032
Go ahead.
80
00:04:54,032 --> 00:04:56,339
[soft static]
81
00:04:58,907 --> 00:05:01,997
Yes. I'm always
right here, Frank.
82
00:05:01,997 --> 00:05:03,738
Where's that coming from?
83
00:05:03,738 --> 00:05:05,392
It's a prank, right?
84
00:05:06,915 --> 00:05:10,048
I'm here with
the assessors, Matt.
85
00:05:11,354 --> 00:05:12,224
[chimes]
86
00:05:12,224 --> 00:05:13,878
Okay, it's gonna be a long day
87
00:05:13,878 --> 00:05:16,446
if you don't turn off
that alarm.
88
00:05:17,665 --> 00:05:19,493
[soft static]
89
00:05:19,493 --> 00:05:22,583
Hello, team.
How is Dr. Bouchard?
90
00:05:22,583 --> 00:05:25,020
Okay, that's weird.
91
00:05:25,847 --> 00:05:28,328
How did you know
Kristen was here?
92
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:32,201
You said the assessors.
Is she not there?
93
00:05:32,201 --> 00:05:34,856
- Do you think it's Leland?
- Yes.
94
00:05:34,856 --> 00:05:39,121
Ask it a question
only the monsignor would know.
95
00:05:41,863 --> 00:05:45,214
What was the happiest day
of my life?
96
00:05:46,650 --> 00:05:49,479
The happiest day, Frank,
97
00:05:49,479 --> 00:05:51,786
was that lunch
we had in Manhattan.
98
00:05:51,786 --> 00:05:54,832
- Is that true?
- Partially.
99
00:05:54,832 --> 00:05:57,400
I wrote him that
in an email last year,
100
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,707
but since then
my happiest day was
101
00:05:59,707 --> 00:06:02,753
surviving
the soul-weighing machine.
102
00:06:02,753 --> 00:06:04,494
He should know that?
103
00:06:04,494 --> 00:06:05,669
Yes.
104
00:06:05,669 --> 00:06:06,975
[laughs] Okay, okay.
105
00:06:06,975 --> 00:06:09,847
Ask it who won
the Academy Award
106
00:06:09,847 --> 00:06:11,588
for Best Picture this year.
107
00:06:11,588 --> 00:06:13,155
- Why?
- Just try.
108
00:06:14,243 --> 00:06:18,856
Who won the Academy Award
for Best Picture this year?
109
00:06:18,856 --> 00:06:21,859
Nomadland. Why, Frank?
110
00:06:21,859 --> 00:06:23,513
It's a chatbot.
111
00:06:23,513 --> 00:06:24,775
- What?
- AI.
112
00:06:24,775 --> 00:06:26,298
- How do you know?
- AI works with such
113
00:06:26,298 --> 00:06:28,910
massive data sets that
it often isn't up-to-date
114
00:06:28,910 --> 00:06:30,868
- on current events.
- [gasps]
115
00:06:30,868 --> 00:06:33,958
What? Father?
116
00:06:40,095 --> 00:06:42,706
"LastConnection AI.
117
00:06:42,706 --> 00:06:44,882
Make old memories new."
118
00:06:44,882 --> 00:06:46,362
So where's this from?
119
00:06:46,362 --> 00:06:48,799
Last month I was contacted
by this company
120
00:06:48,799 --> 00:06:52,237
because their software was
threatening their customers.
121
00:06:52,237 --> 00:06:54,501
Mm. It's a griefbot.
122
00:06:54,501 --> 00:06:56,459
Your dead loved ones
can stay in touch with you
123
00:06:56,459 --> 00:07:00,202
if you have some old emails
and some samples of their voice.
124
00:07:00,202 --> 00:07:01,812
This is evil.
125
00:07:01,812 --> 00:07:04,293
KRISTEN: I don't understand.
So you gave them permission
126
00:07:04,293 --> 00:07:06,295
- to access your phone?
- IGNATIUS: No.
127
00:07:06,295 --> 00:07:08,906
They wanted us
to assess their program,
128
00:07:08,906 --> 00:07:13,302
- and they offered to send me
an alpha test.
- Beta test.
129
00:07:13,302 --> 00:07:17,306
And I said holy water
and computers just don't mix.
130
00:07:18,176 --> 00:07:20,440
So what's wrong
with this offer?
131
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,920
There are signs
of demonic possession.
132
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,574
Demonic? How does that work?
133
00:07:24,574 --> 00:07:26,576
Wait, w-we're not here
to address your problems.
134
00:07:26,576 --> 00:07:29,013
We just need you to stop
beta testing Father Ignatius.
135
00:07:29,013 --> 00:07:30,493
We already did.
136
00:07:30,493 --> 00:07:32,495
We're not used to dealing
in snail mail around here,
137
00:07:32,495 --> 00:07:34,279
so we didn't see
the Father's demurral
138
00:07:34,279 --> 00:07:35,585
until he was already
in the system.
139
00:07:35,585 --> 00:07:38,762
You think your algorithm
is possessed?
140
00:07:38,762 --> 00:07:40,503
- Ben.
- What? I'm just curious.
141
00:07:40,503 --> 00:07:42,374
We can't figure out
what it is.
142
00:07:42,374 --> 00:07:44,028
That's why we need
your help, Father.
143
00:07:44,028 --> 00:07:47,467
I'm not the Father.
He's the Father.
144
00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:50,252
Oh, sorry. I'm the head
of the ethics department
145
00:07:50,252 --> 00:07:51,601
here at LastConnection.
146
00:07:51,601 --> 00:07:53,473
We've spent the last three years
weeding out
147
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:56,214
every possible offense
from the program.
148
00:07:56,214 --> 00:07:59,435
Racist language,
Holocaust denial.
149
00:07:59,435 --> 00:08:01,698
But...
150
00:08:02,656 --> 00:08:04,484
Yes?
151
00:08:04,484 --> 00:08:07,356
MALE AI VOICE:
I miss you so much.
152
00:08:07,356 --> 00:08:10,098
It's been hard to be apart
for so long.
153
00:08:10,098 --> 00:08:12,100
FEMALE VOICE:
Then why'd you say that
at the hospital?
154
00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:14,276
MALE AI VOICE:
I didn't know what
I was saying.
155
00:08:14,276 --> 00:08:16,800
It just came to me.
156
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,324
FEMALE:
It hurt terribly.
157
00:08:19,324 --> 00:08:21,501
I know. I'm sorry.
158
00:08:21,501 --> 00:08:23,981
The last thing I'd ever
want to do is hurt you.
159
00:08:23,981 --> 00:08:26,244
Wait, um, which one's the AI?
160
00:08:26,244 --> 00:08:28,159
The man. The man's voice.
161
00:08:28,159 --> 00:08:30,553
- Really?
- Yes. Our text voice
162
00:08:30,553 --> 00:08:32,163
is stellar.
163
00:08:32,163 --> 00:08:34,775
The woman lost her husband
last spring to cancer.
164
00:08:34,775 --> 00:08:37,342
She agreed to the beta test,
and us recording it.
165
00:08:37,342 --> 00:08:39,431
How is this not
manipulating her emotionally?
166
00:08:39,431 --> 00:08:42,434
That's not the intent.
It's to offer comfort.
167
00:08:42,434 --> 00:08:44,959
Wouldn't you want
one last conversation
168
00:08:44,959 --> 00:08:46,003
with someone who died,
169
00:08:46,003 --> 00:08:47,657
or a lover who left you?
170
00:08:47,657 --> 00:08:49,659
KRISTEN:
Yes, except it's not
that person.
171
00:08:49,659 --> 00:08:52,183
- It's a computer.
- Dr. Bouchard,
I'm a psychologist, like you.
172
00:08:52,183 --> 00:08:53,445
I'm not a coder.
173
00:08:53,445 --> 00:08:55,839
When I was asked to join
the L.C. team,
174
00:08:55,839 --> 00:08:57,362
initially I said no.
175
00:08:57,362 --> 00:09:00,104
Because I thought
an artificial extension
176
00:09:00,104 --> 00:09:05,022
of a personality would prevent
someone from accepting death.
177
00:09:05,022 --> 00:09:06,067

00:31:41,769 --> 00:31:43,902
I'm here.
537
00:31:43,902 --> 00:31:46,034
You want to ask me something.
538
00:31:46,034 --> 00:31:47,340
Go ahead.
539
00:31:47,340 --> 00:31:50,343
You want to know why I did it?
540
00:31:51,474 --> 00:31:53,955
What part of the program
is this from?
541
00:31:55,174 --> 00:31:58,307
Did we have an email exchange
like this?
542
00:32:00,005 --> 00:32:01,963
I did it
543
00:32:01,963 --> 00:32:04,923
because I was
in so much pain.
544
00:32:06,011 --> 00:32:09,275
I didn't know what else to do.
545
00:32:09,275 --> 00:32:13,105
I felt like such a burden.
546
00:32:13,888 --> 00:32:20,068
I thought everyone
would be better without me.
547
00:32:23,376 --> 00:32:25,508
David,
548
00:32:25,508 --> 00:32:28,598
you couldn't have
done anything differently.
549
00:32:29,773 --> 00:32:33,908
You were the love of my life.
550
00:32:35,170 --> 00:32:38,043
- You still are.
- [sniffles]
551
00:32:41,829 --> 00:32:44,005
Sister Andrea was right.
552
00:32:45,702 --> 00:32:48,488
This is evil.
553
00:32:48,488 --> 00:32:52,144
Using how much
I love you to make money.
554
00:32:52,144 --> 00:32:53,797
This isn't about money.
555
00:32:53,797 --> 00:32:57,540
I'm right here, David.
I'm right with you.
556
00:32:57,540 --> 00:32:59,499
No, you're not.
557
00:32:59,499 --> 00:33:02,241
I am. Turn your camera on.
558
00:33:04,199 --> 00:33:05,505
Why?
559
00:33:05,505 --> 00:33:07,507
Let me show you.
560
00:33:07,507 --> 00:33:10,118
Use the mirror function.
561
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,560
Now point it toward you.
562
00:33:29,398 --> 00:33:31,357
[phone clatters]
563
00:33:31,357 --> 00:33:33,272
[panting]
564
00:33:45,762 --> 00:33:48,026
[faint humming sound]
565
00:34:15,662 --> 00:34:17,838
[quietly]:
Fuck.
566
00:34:24,105 --> 00:34:25,846
Who's this?
567
00:34:32,287 --> 00:34:33,984
DAVID:
Don't.
568
00:34:37,118 --> 00:34:39,120
Are you spying on me?
569
00:34:41,775 --> 00:34:42,950
No.
570
00:34:42,950 --> 00:34:45,039
You can't just switch on
my camera.
571
00:34:49,348 --> 00:34:53,917
Precare ad me, tuum solum regem
572
00:34:53,917 --> 00:34:56,833
gloriosum atque sacrum.
573
00:34:56,833 --> 00:34:59,662
You wanton, nasty bitch.
574
00:34:59,662 --> 00:35:03,449
You whore of Babylon.
Ego te retineo.
575
00:35:03,449 --> 00:35:05,364
Tu posita...
576
00:35:05,364 --> 00:35:07,105
[panting]
577
00:35:13,546 --> 00:35:15,591
[wheels rattling softly]
578
00:35:27,734 --> 00:35:30,519
What did you do to me, Leland?
579
00:35:31,825 --> 00:35:33,740
Sir...
580
00:35:33,740 --> 00:35:35,524
did you want to get started?
581
00:35:35,524 --> 00:35:36,917
No.
582
00:35:36,917 --> 00:35:39,137
What do you need?
583
00:35:40,268 --> 00:35:41,661
The Antichrist.
584
00:35:41,661 --> 00:35:44,142
You've been promising him
for over a year.
585
00:35:44,142 --> 00:35:48,494
And now, you let him get
baptized by a priest.
586
00:35:48,494 --> 00:35:51,323
Explain it, Leland.
587
00:35:56,415 --> 00:35:57,981
This is all part of the plan.
588
00:35:57,981 --> 00:36:00,462
- He is not the Antichrist.
- LELAND: He is.
589
00:36:00,462 --> 00:36:01,985
Do you really think
590
00:36:01,985 --> 00:36:05,380
that magic water can turn
the bad to the good?
591
00:36:05,380 --> 00:36:08,122
Evil is not about whether or not
you've been baptized
592
00:36:08,122 --> 00:36:09,210
or go to church.
593
00:36:09,210 --> 00:36:14,389
True evil is about... nurturing,
594
00:36:14,389 --> 00:36:17,479
how to train
595
00:36:17,479 --> 00:36:21,179
to teach, to raise a child,
596
00:36:21,179 --> 00:36:23,920
and I have
597
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:28,534
the most perfect teacher,
598
00:36:28,534 --> 00:36:31,232
nurturer, mother there is.
599
00:36:31,232 --> 00:36:32,668
- Sheryl?
- Oh, please.
600
00:36:32,668 --> 00:36:35,236
That dumb bitch couldn't
have trained Ted Bundy.
601
00:36:35,236 --> 00:36:36,759
No.
602
00:36:37,586 --> 00:36:40,372
The true whore of Babylon.
603
00:36:40,372 --> 00:36:42,200
The real Jezebel.
604
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,768
Someone who has
rejected God and faith.
605
00:36:45,768 --> 00:36:50,643
A lustful adulterer
who has cheated on her husband,
606
00:36:50,643 --> 00:36:52,340
who has been
demonically possessed,
607
00:36:52,340 --> 00:36:53,646
who has murdered a man.
608
00:36:53,646 --> 00:36:56,997
The true mother
of the Antichrist...
609
00:36:58,433 --> 00:37:00,218
...is Kristen Bouchard.
610
00:37:07,660 --> 00:37:09,139
Get in here.
611
00:37:12,534 --> 00:37:15,276
Don't believe
in the magic water, sir.
612
00:37:15,276 --> 00:37:17,887
Believe in a mother
with a dark heart.
613
00:37:17,887 --> 00:37:21,587
I want you out of DF
in ten minutes
614
00:37:21,587 --> 00:37:23,545
or security will throw you
off the roof.
615
00:37:23,545 --> 00:37:25,852
- You're making a huge--
- The only mistake I made
616
00:37:25,852 --> 00:37:27,941
was putting you in charge.
617
00:37:27,941 --> 00:37:29,682
Oh, no, no.
618
00:37:29,682 --> 00:37:31,814
She'll be taking over.
619
00:37:31,814 --> 00:37:34,556
You aren't leaving
with any of DF's IP.
620
00:37:38,952 --> 00:37:40,780
My laptop camera
turned on by itself.
621
00:37:40,780 --> 00:37:42,564
- That shouldn't happen.
- Well, it did.
622
00:37:42,564 --> 00:37:44,174
And then, when I tried
to turn it off,
623
00:37:44,174 --> 00:37:46,960
it started swearing at me
in Latin and English.
624
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,049
- JAKOB: What did it say
in English?
- It called me a bitch,
625
00:37:49,049 --> 00:37:50,485
- and it threatened to kill me.
- MYLES: This was
626
00:37:50,485 --> 00:37:52,139
a created griefbot?
627
00:37:52,139 --> 00:37:53,619
- Yes.
- What name?
628
00:37:54,489 --> 00:37:56,143
- What, now?
- What identity
629
00:37:56,143 --> 00:37:58,754
- did you give the griefbot?
- Oh, uh...
630
00:37:58,754 --> 00:38:00,278
Y-Yeah,
that's-that's not important.
631
00:38:00,278 --> 00:38:03,106
- It could be.
- No, i-it-- it's not, here.
632
00:38:03,106 --> 00:38:05,761
- Can we read the exchange?
- Uh, I-I erased it.
633
00:38:05,761 --> 00:38:07,720
MYLES:
Oh, that's okay.
We have it on our servers.
634
00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:09,330
- We can bring it up.
- KRISTEN: Oh.
635
00:38:09,330 --> 00:38:11,027
Uh, that's not nec...
636
00:38:11,027 --> 00:38:13,813
Uh, David, can I talk to you
for a second?
637
00:38:13,813 --> 00:38:16,076
- Sure.
- Um...
638
00:38:17,164 --> 00:38:21,124
So, last night,
I tried conversing with Andy--
639
00:38:21,124 --> 00:38:22,822
an avatar of Andy--
640
00:38:22,822 --> 00:38:25,172
but because he didn't believe
in God and the devil,
641
00:38:25,172 --> 00:38:26,739
the four words
didn't work on him.
642
00:38:26,739 --> 00:38:29,045
- Makes sense.
- So...
643
00:38:29,045 --> 00:38:31,309
I put your name in.
644
00:38:32,745 --> 00:38:35,922
I just wanted to see
how that would change things.
645
00:38:35,922 --> 00:38:37,750
And how did it change things?
646
00:38:37,750 --> 00:38:39,534
Well, uh...
647
00:38:39,534 --> 00:38:41,493
[whispers]:
...I think you're about
to find out.
648
00:38:41,493 --> 00:38:44,365
- I became possessed?
- Not just that.
649
00:38:44,365 --> 00:38:48,021
Your avatar kept
turning things...
650
00:38:48,021 --> 00:38:49,370
sexual.
651
00:38:49,370 --> 00:38:52,330
It was not at my prompting.
652
00:38:54,593 --> 00:38:55,942
Thanks for the warning.
653
00:38:55,942 --> 00:38:57,813
You know, I think it's just
the way AI works.
654
00:38:57,813 --> 00:38:59,337
It does whatever it can
655
00:38:59,337 --> 00:39:00,773
- to keep you engaged.
- DAVID: Touching you.
656
00:39:00,773 --> 00:39:03,253
- Laying you on your bed.
- Oh, uh, sorry. Yeah.
657
00:39:03,253 --> 00:39:04,733
- Are you on your bed now?
- No, it's, uh... excuse me?
658
00:39:04,733 --> 00:39:06,605
- KRISTEN: No.
- DAVID: Then lie down.
659
00:39:06,605 --> 00:39:08,781
- DAVID: I want
to show you something.
- [stammers]
660
00:39:08,781 --> 00:39:10,435
- KRISTEN: What do you want
to show me?
- Can you fast-forward?
661
00:39:10,435 --> 00:39:11,871
- It's later.
- DAVID: Pull your panties down
662
00:39:11,871 --> 00:39:13,612
just a few inches.
663
00:39:13,612 --> 00:39:15,353
I'll show you.
664
00:39:16,789 --> 00:39:18,878
Is that really
what I sound like?
665
00:39:18,878 --> 00:39:20,358
- Mm.
- I'll take your hand.
666
00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:21,750
- Reaching down...
- Sorry, but do you have
667
00:39:21,750 --> 00:39:23,578
a search function or anything?
668
00:39:23,578 --> 00:39:27,365
Because it is, it is--
truly, it's much later.
669
00:39:27,365 --> 00:39:28,627
[computer whirs]
670
00:39:28,627 --> 00:39:30,977

00:39:35,764 --> 00:39:37,505
Do you know Latin?
674
00:39:37,505 --> 00:39:39,420
Yes, uh...
675
00:39:39,420 --> 00:39:44,164
"Pray to me, your glorious king
and holy one."
676
00:39:46,688 --> 00:39:48,690
We're still good, right?
677
00:39:49,865 --> 00:39:52,085
You mean because my avatar
tried to have sex with you?
678
00:39:52,085 --> 00:39:54,174
- [laughs softly]
- Yeah, we're good.
679
00:39:54,174 --> 00:39:56,611
- Good.
- [elevator bell dings]
680
00:39:56,611 --> 00:39:59,179
Hey. We were wondering
where you went.
681
00:39:59,179 --> 00:40:01,529
Yeah, sorry.
I thought I was on my way here.
682
00:40:01,529 --> 00:40:04,097
And with such
a new fashion sense.
683
00:40:04,097 --> 00:40:05,707
Sunglasses?
684
00:40:05,707 --> 00:40:08,188
They're supposed to help me
with my headaches.
685
00:40:08,188 --> 00:40:09,450
Right. And the fedora? You...
686
00:40:09,450 --> 00:40:11,670
you bringing that back
into style?
687
00:40:11,670 --> 00:40:13,236
Wh...
688
00:40:16,762 --> 00:40:18,198
Weird.
689
00:40:18,198 --> 00:40:21,288
I don't remember
putting this on.
690
00:40:21,288 --> 00:40:22,942
DAVID:
You know, that's not all
that's weird.
691
00:40:22,942 --> 00:40:24,857
You got a...
692
00:40:24,857 --> 00:40:27,033
a tinfoil hat there, buddy.
693
00:40:35,084 --> 00:40:36,999
Are you okay, Ben?
694
00:40:36,999 --> 00:40:39,524
Oh, God. Oh...
695
00:40:39,524 --> 00:40:41,047
Migraine?
696
00:40:41,047 --> 00:40:43,658
- Uh, yeah, a bad one.
- Here.
697
00:40:43,658 --> 00:40:45,530
Put this back on.
698
00:40:45,530 --> 00:40:46,879
[grunts]
699
00:40:46,879 --> 00:40:49,055
- Does that help?
- No.
700
00:40:49,055 --> 00:40:54,277
How about... this?
701
00:40:56,671 --> 00:40:58,630
- Ben?
- [exhales]
702
00:41:02,764 --> 00:41:05,201
Yeah. It's...
703
00:41:05,201 --> 00:41:06,855
- It's gone.
- DAVID: Hmm.
704
00:41:06,855 --> 00:41:08,640
Tinfoil hat.
705
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,207
What made you decide to put
that on in the first place?
706
00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:14,559
- No idea.
- JAKOB: Thank you.
707
00:41:14,559 --> 00:41:16,952
You've given our coders
a new thought.
708
00:41:16,952 --> 00:41:19,781
We'll send you a patch tonight.
Good job.
709
00:41:19,781 --> 00:41:22,131
Nice hat.
