It's not what do we need,

it's not what do we want...

Dinner's ready, honey.

It's who.

Never again will you need to
mourn the loss of a loved one.

Never again will you need
to go to bed lonely.

Never again will you need
to walk this life alone.

Fuck me now.

Nothing in life is free,

but if you're willing to pay,

well, then I promise you,

it'll be the best money
you've ever spent.

True love.

It isn't found.

It is ordered.

Call Wifelike now.

Update your wife,

upgrade your life.

Marion Venter.

Agent.

I didn't realize
you actually came
to this facility.

And miss the chance
to thank the agent

that leads this region
in recoveries?

Your work, Agent,
has made a lot of husbands
very happy.

I thank you, sir.

And while we're on the subject,

I wish to thank you
for Meredith.

She means everything to me.

You've been
through a lot, William.

Lost your wife,

suffered.

It hurts.

It's why I do what I do,

why you do what you do.

And all your hard work
should be rewarded.

And what better reward
than a loving wife?

Happy wife, happy life.

Keep fighting
the good fight, Agent.

Until next time.

Until next time, s...

And he's gone.

And I'm talking
to an empty room.

I'm still doing it.

Your wife is ready to go home.

Her vitals,
brain activity and battery
have all been charged

and are ready for Companionship.

We've uploaded
all of her information

and reviewed all her settings.

She's perfect.

Hi.

Hi! Can I have
a minute of your time?

Literally, a minute
that will change the world.

We don't change the world.
It changes us.

I beg to differ.

Would you sign our petition?

We believe that love is real,
it's not artificial,

and we need to end Wifelike now.

What's your name?

Meredith.

"Meredith."

Thank you.

Open your eyes.

Welcome home.

"Home."

Breathe.

It'll seem strange at first,

but you'll get used to it.

You can walk.

You just have to remember how.

Trust me.

That's it.

The first couple of minutes
are always the hardest.

Your information
is still being processed.

Just let it sink in.

It'll all feel
completely natural soon.

William.

Yes.

I'm your husband.

And you are my wife,

Meredith.

What is it?

Your heart.

It's beating quite fast.

It always does
when you're near me.

How do you feel?

"Feel."

This feels...

familiar.

This house.

You.

It should feel familiar.

Everything you see here
is yours.

Meredith must have
loved her life.

You are Meredith.

And, yes,

Meredith loved her life.

The more you learn about her,

the faster yours
and Meredith's minds
will merge.

Soon you and her will be as one.

Welcome home, Meredith.

Would you like Meredith
to touch you now?

Yes.

Please activate

All you need to do

is make direct eye contact
with your Companion
to get started.

Your Companion is now
fully sexually active.

Enjoy your evening,
Mr. Bradwell.

Hey.

You may initiate
physical contact
at any time.

I'm nervous.

Meredith

will go slow.

Were you satisfied
with Meredith's
performance?

Yes. Very.

Will you sleep here
with me tonight?

In order to be active tomorrow,

Meredith's battery needs
to fully recharge overnight.

Good night, William.

Begin charging.

They're people too!

They're becoming
more and more aware.

They need rights!

No more sex slaves!

No more sweatshops! Join us!

Get out here, and together,
we can make a difference.

Join the SCAIR!

Join the SCAIR! Join the SCAIR!

The world's going mad.

How could a world go mad?

It's just an expression.

It means things
are really messed up.

Makes my job more difficult.

Meredith's data indicates
that you're an agent for
the Companion Recovery Unit.

Mm-hmm.

But what does your job entail?

I protect people like you.

Does Meredith have a job?

Would Meredith like a job?

Breaking news just in.

Two more Companions
are reported missing.

Police suspect abductions.

This brings this week's total
to 15 reported.

Fuck.

Why would someone
steal a Companion?

It's not a someone.
It's an organization.

They call themselves the SCAIR...

Sentient Citizens for AI Rights.

We call 'em terrorists.

We're trying
to catch their leader,
the Ring Master.

We can't find him anywhere.

It's like chasing
a goddamn ghost.

What do these terrorists
do with them?

They use them as weapons.

They reprogram Companions
to walk into a crowded space

with explosives strapped
to their chests.

Some they sell
on the black market.

Like I said,
the world's going mad.

Thank you.

Screen off.

What's the yellow stuff?

And did it eat the bacon?

It's polenta.

And article 51 in the rules
and regulations packet
you received yesterday

states that a Companion is
unable to cause direct harm
to their owner.

Adding bacon
greatly increases the risk
of developing heart disease.

You gotta be
fucking shitting me.

Meredith is not
fucking shitting you.

Meredith wasn't a vegan.

I like bacon.

I want you to cook bacon.

You can override this rule,
but you must first
sign a waiver

acknowledging
you are fully aware
of the potential risks.

Would you like one
emailed to you?

Yes, I would.

This, is it any good?

Meredith cannot
decide that for you.

Yeah, it's good.

I still want my bacon though.

Have I told you
how beautiful you are today?

Only once.

Forgive me.

I gotta go.

Have a great day at work,
husband.

Mm-hmm.

It's William. Thank you.

Open makeup tutorial.

As you all know,

another abduction
took place this morning.

We got two missing Companions.

Get out there and find them.

The SCAIR has already
taken responsibility.

Their numbers are growing.

As for our recoveries,

Agent Bradwell is well ahead
of you all for the week,

recovering ten Companions,

four just yesterday.

So let's all give him a hand.

Just curious.

Who's in second place, Sarge?

You, Jack.

But no one remembers
who comes in second.

You just did.

Hey, Jack.

Coming second just means
you were the first to lose.

Hey, Sarge?

Any leads on the investigation
into the Ring Master?

Interrogations are under way,

but as of right now,
we ain't got shit on him.

Let's change that.

Be careful out there.
Their movement is growing.

We have visual.

Got it. Backup is on their way.

Stand by and await
further instructions.

I see her. I'm going in.

I gave you an order.

What's your name?

Wendy.

Are you operational?

No. All my services
have been disconnected.

How many more are inside?

There's two more
Companions inside.

His name is Jason Wilkes.

He's right-handed.
He weighs 170 pounds.

He stands at 6'2"
and he has high
blood pressure.

There was another man inside,
but I couldn't get
a clear vision of him.

Stay safe.

He went in without me,
didn't he?

If you try and stop me,
I will blow
her fuckin' head off.

There's no scenario
where you walk outta here free.

Lower your gun, or you won't
walk outta here at all.

Fuck you.

Girl, get up.
You're coming with me.

She's not going anywhere.
Neither are you.

I take it he resisted?

They always do.

Take care of them.

Begin charging.

Hello, Meredith.

I am Ido,
your Interactive
Dream Operator.

It looks like you're
about to power down.

Would you like
to enter dream mode?

Yes, please. Fantastic.

Wifelike requires
a Companion's first dream

to be at the dream gala,

where potential clients
can observe and purchase
their very own wife.

But I'd like
to splice this dream

with a birthday party.

Sweet dreams, Meredith.

There's the birthday girl.

You look beautiful.

Happy birthday, Meredith.

May I?

You may.

Enjoy your party.

It's nice to see you, Meredith.

My name is Lydie.

Hello, Lydie.

Not to be confused
with my twin sister Lady.

Her model was so popular,
everybody wanted her,

so they decided to create me.

She's the one he brings home
to marry and meet Mama,

and I'm the one
who likes to get kinky.

Are you Meredith's friend?

It's your dream, Meredith.

All these people can be
whatever you want.

Friends.

Enemies.

Strangers.

Lovers.

Who is he?

You should find out.

Happy birthday, Meredith.

Who are you?

This is for you.

It will help you remember.

What is this?

There you are.

Champagne?

Champagne?

To you.

Happy birthday, Meredith.

Back again so soon, Agent?

It's been a busy night.

Please. Follow me.

Who are they?

That's Ollie and Lydie.
They're regulars here.

We reset them
a few times a month.

They always get lost.

Always malfunction,
display erratic behavior,

as you're seeing now.

I've never had a Companion
flip me off before.

I swear, it would be easier
if we just shut them both
down completely.

But their owners love them,
so here we are.

Open Meredith's hobbies.

Good morning, Meredith.

Did you enjoy
your dream last night?

I did.

The man in the mask,
he handed me a card.

Who is he?

I'm sorry.

I don't show any record
of a masked man
handing you a card

in that dream.

Would you like me
to report...
No.

Please open Meredith's hobbies.

We have cooking,

dancing, exercising,

gardening, reading, yoga...

What about knitting?

Knitting?

We don't show any record
of Meredith knitting.

Would you like to begin one?

Yes.

For reasons unknown,

Meredith is compelled to knit.

Knitting 101. Please stand by.

You should watch
where you're going.

Excuse me.

You should have gotten
out of the way.

Not if my plan
was to send you
into this bush.

And it was.

Why?

Excuse me.

I'm here to tell you what
I'm here to tell you every time
I send you into that bush.

We're running
out of time, Meredith.

We need you to remember.

Remember what?

And how do you know my name?

Remember, Meredith.

Did you get a good look
at the guy?
Her.

She said she ran Meredith
off her path on purpose.

Most women
don't like Companions.

They seek them out
and give them hell
for taking their men.

Women blame Companions
for the high divorce
and low birth rates?

Mm-hmm.

Makes no sense, I know.

You see, you have to
purchase a Companion.

And you're not cheap.

Any man
who's willing to go out
and buy a new wife

for that amount of money,

believe me,

that marriage
was already broken.

There. Done.

Would you enjoy
washing Meredith?

You'd spend hours out here.

It was your favorite place
to be.

It's marvelous.

I made you a gift today.

Would you like to see it?

Meredith,

you just used "I."

You're merging.

I did?

I did it again, didn't I?

This is progress.

I have a concept of self.

Yes, you do.

Good morning.

You don't like it?

No, I... I love it.

It's beautiful.

Meredith didn't knit.

Oh.

You know,

I remember the first time
I ever saw you.

You were sitting alone
on a park bench,

reading a book.

What was I reading?

I don't know.

I just knew
I had to talk to you.

I remember the first thing
you ever said to me.

What did I say?

Yes.

I said yes?

What did you ask?

I asked if the seat was taken.

I didn't want you
to sit next to me?

No. Not at first.

But after a while,
you scooted over.

I'll never forget that day.

I love you.

And I love you.

"He's the man of my dreams."

And he tells me
I am the woman of his.

I feel so lucky.

I can't believe
we found each other,

especially in this crazy world
filled with so much suffering.

And when he touches me,

I feel like
the world stops spinning.

When we're together,
it's like we're the only
two humans left on Earth."

Welcome back, Meredith.

How was your day?

I said "I" today.

I am becoming Meredith.

How was your day?

Oh, you know,

just floating
through the nothingness
of everything,

waiting for someone
to call it a night

so I can drift you off
to dreamland.

Hold on to your seat.

How embarrassing.

I don't know why
some of these files
are blocked.

Let's try hitting "random."

Stop.

Is this seat taken?

Yes.

You're not William.

How are you here?
This is my dream.

Well, I must be
the man of your dreams.

What do you want?

This is where it all started.

This is where I met William.

Why are you following me?
I don't know you.

I know everything about you.

Even the things
you can't remember.

Stay away from me.
Remember, Meredith...

Wake up!

It's me.

You're safe now.

He tried to take me.

Who is he?

Tell me.

It's nothing.

It's just a bad dream.

William!

Hey.

I didn't want to disturb you.

You looked so peaceful.

Go to bed.

I'll be up in a minute.

Open Meredith's recorded videos.

I can't believe
you did this for me.

I love it.

You know, we should just...

live out here.

You know, you and me.

Away from everyone.

I love you. And I love you.

What are you doing?

Experiencing susurration.

What's that?

The sound of falling leaves.

It's beautiful.

Would you like me
to sing for you?

Yes.

Spanish.

Italian.

Lisa Mooser.
Reported missing one year ago.

Forty credits
when returned unharmed.

Anonymous tip says she's hiding
on the 17th floor.

Return her
to Wifelike Enterprises

for immediate reprogramming.

Do you have an appointment?

I do not.

Well, we don't
usually take walk-ins,
but have a seat,

and I'll see
if I can fit you in.

Actually,
I'm looking for someone.

Oh?

Lisa Mooser.

I'm sorry, we don't have
anyone here by that name.

I'm really good at my job, Lisa.

My name is Rose.

Of course it is.

Look at you.

New nose,

new hair.

They even changed
your eye color.

It's impressive.

Please don't do this.

Are you still in contact
with the people who stole you?

No one stole me.

You're programmed
to say that, aren't you?

I left on my own two feet.
Impossible.

Companions are programmed
never to harm their owners.

Running away
would classify as emotional
and financial harm,

Lisa.

Stop calling me Lisa.

I ran, and I'll do it again.

Did your owner violate
his terms...

I don't love him,

no matter how many times
I'm reprogrammed to.

Okay.

Grab your stuff. Let's go.

You don't have to do this.

You can say
you didn't find me, please.

But I did find you.

We both know
I have to bring you in.

Let's go.

I'm just going to say goodbye
to a friend.

Make it quick.

Bringing in a Companion.

Please return Companion
to Wifelike Enterprises.

No.

I can't.

Can't what?

I'd rather die free.

Lisa!

Fuck.

How did you find me?
What are you doing
in my house?

I'm going to
call the police.
Good.

You're saying "I."

Quicker than the last time.

I swear, if I had to
listen to any more

of your "Meredith this"
and "Meredith that,"

I would've reset you myself.

Last time? What are you...

Talking about?

Yes. I know.

It's all so confusing
for you around this time.

Next, you're gonna tell me
there's no smoking
in the house, right?

There is no smoking
in the house.
See?

You Reggies are so predictable.

Before you ask,
"Reggies" are
Registered Companions.

Walking, talking
pleasure pets like you.

I bet you had to fuck him
every night this week.
Am I right?

Of course I am.

Why are you here?

To assess where you're at.

You never know with you.

Sometimes you're quick.
Other times, not so much.

And that hubby of yours
is rounding up Companions

and bringing them
back to Wifelike
multiple times a day,

while you're stuck here
sitting at home,
doing the fucking dishes.

We need you to wake up,
Meredith.

We need you
to kick it into gear.

What are you talking about?

Better yet, don't tell me.
Just leave.

My husband
will be back any minute.

Haven't you been
watching the news?

Your hubby will be busy
cleaning up his mess
for hours.

Such a well-behaved,
obedient wife this time.

How disappointing.

William must be thrilled.

I'm going to cut to the chase.

I have a friend
who is dying
to meet you.

The man in the mask. Who is he?

He hacked into my dreams.

Any kid with a laptop
and no date at 8:00
can do that.

But he wants
to meet you in person.

I know what this is.

William told me how you people
steal Companions.

You reprogram them
to do awful things.

He told you that, did he?

Men lie.

And you should know

that this conversation
is being recorded.

You might want to leave now.
William will see this.

Good. That's why I'm here.

So zip it
and keep your eyes on me.

Hello, William.

I look forward to meeting you.

And Keene looks forward
to seeing Meredith.

You and Keene go way back.

Don't they, William?

Well, that's about it.
I gotta run.
I'm a busy girl.

Got big shoes to fill.

I'll be seeing you.

I don't know why,

but I have a feeling
this time is gonna
be different.

Don't disappoint me.

I didn't catch your name.

Ah, yes.

I always find this part weird.

I'm Louise.

Nice to finally meet you

again.

How is she? Is she damaged?

They changed her hair!

Two months without her,
I've been losing my mind.

There's nothing
more precious than life.

Here at Wifelike,
we're excited to bring you
the next line of Companions.

Imagine having a baby

and not having to worry
about all those expenses...

New clothes,
new schools, day care.

Your perfect little baby
stays a perfect little baby

forever.

Nice recovery.

So you're making babies now?

Everyone deserves
to be a parent.

I disagree.

Some say that
not every man deserves
to be a husband either,

but here we are.

I need to speak
to Marion Venter.

Now.

William!
What do I owe the pleasure?

I just saw a Companion
commit suicide.

This has tragedy
written all over it.

Such an unfortunate accident.

People should always
watch their step.

But it wasn't an accident.

Every news outlet says it was.

Okay, between you and I,

someone must have
reprogrammed her.

But don't worry.

We're taking steps to make sure
that nothing like this
ever happens again.

She wasn't reprogrammed.

You know what I like about you?
You're a lot like me.

You see something you want,
and you take it,

no matter the cost.

When I want something,
I create it.

But we both know that,
sometimes,

it takes walking down
the wrong road
to get to the right place.

This Companion chose death.

If she can, others will try.

William!
Companions have no death.

She felt no pain.

She felt no regret.

She felt no liberation.

She felt nothing!

Unless we program it to be so.

William, if this is
about lost credits,

I will happily reinstate
your recovery.

If these Companions can choose
to kill themselves,

it's only a matter of time
before they choose
to kill their owners.

This is something
you need to deal with.

Do you know why
driverless vehicles failed?

I don't know. Why?

No matter how many lives
they saved?

Because men want to be
behind the wheel.

We need to be in control.

You know why
Companion Soldiers failed?

Because men want to kill.

They wanna fight,
they wanna shout, "Victory!"

But Companion Wives,
on the other hand,

they're a success
because men, you see,

they will fuck
anything that moves.

Sex sells. It always has.

It's in our blood
to spread and conquer.

But as we adapt
to life with them,

so, too, do they adapt
to life with us.

This is the future,

and futures are always
a little uncertain.

Look at where we are!

This, right now,
this is the future!

And futures are always
a little messy,

a little uncertain.

Companions are
to human wives what...

What cars were to horses...

what... what planes
were to trains,

what guns were to swords.

Life goes on.

It's rarely a smooth road.

There's gonna be some bumps
along the way,

so prepare for a bumpy ride.

Just keep focusing on your job

and your beautiful wife Marilyn.

It's Meredith, asshole.

"One day, we are going
to run away together

and leave this world behind.

It will be just us.

"It will be perfect."

We were so in love.

Hey, honey, I'm home.

Hello, honey.

How was work today?

Are you hungry?

I couldn't find the first one,
so I made you another.

Thanks.

Yeah, work was brutal.

I'm starving.

Hey, wait. How was your day?

We had a guest.

We had a guest?

Here?

The woman who ran me off
into the bushes,

well, she tracked me down
and stopped by.

She's quite odd.

Speaks nonsense,

but still, it was nice
to chat with her.

She was in our house?

Her name's Louise.

Ah.

Louise.

Did she say anything else?

She mentioned
the man in the mask,

the one who hacked
into my dreams.

She says he and I "go way back."

Keene.

Do I know him?

I don't think so.

I recorded it all.

In fact, she insisted I did.

Would you like to review it?

Yes, I would.

Play it back for me.

From the very moment
you opened the door.

Incoming call
from William Bradwell.

This better be good, man.

Jack, they were
in my fucking house.

Get over here now. Oh, man.

I've been trying
to hide Meredith from Keene,

instead of using her
to lure him to us.

Okay, reentering
Meredith's dreamworld.

You have nothing
to be afraid of.

And what exactly
am I supposed to do?

Just keep him talking.

Jack will trace the link
and take Louise down.

Now, Keene
will want to meet you
somewhere alone.

I'll go in your place
and I'll take him down.

And you're positive Louise
is with the terrorists?

Mm-hmm.

And Keene,

what does he want with me?

How are we connected?

We don't know that yet.

I'll be there to protect you.

You trust me?

I trust you.

Good.

Jack? We're all good here.

Okay, Meredith.

In the mind,

nothing and everything is real.

You create the reality.

Gravity becomes real,

breathing becomes real,

walking, talking, seeing...
Everything.

Your mind
will adapt and believe
it's all really happening.

Now, the downside to that is,
if you get hurt in there,

your mind will believe that too.

The pain will feel real.

But don't worry.

We only go into dreams
to observe and gather intel.

We do not engage.

We do this all the time.

Oh.

Welcome back, Meredith.

Calling it
an early night, I see?

Dude got a superhero jawline.

I am quite tired.

Will you drift me into a dream?

It would be my pleasure.

What kind of dream
would you like tonight?

Would you fancy
a tour through Tokyo?

Or visit the last remaining
elephant in New India?

What do you suggest?

Halloween it is.

Connecting.

Golly! I hate scary dreams.

Just be ready.

We're in the house.

Tracing location now.

Hello?

You don't remember me yet.

That's him.

All of your memories
of me were erased.

But I'll never stop coming
for you, Meredith.

How do I know you?

Memorize this location.

Wake up.

Meet me there.

88 Wonder Street. Where is that?

Got it.
It's coming from downtown.

Come alone.

I'll get the team
over there now.

You go to that address
and get Keene.

Good luck, William.
Thanks, Jack.

His face!

I know him,

don't I?

I need you to stay here.

I'm gonna end this now.

On my count.

One, two,

three!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Hands where I can see 'em!

Masks!

Keene, I've got you,

you son of a bitch.

Meredith.

Meredith!

Meredith?

Did he hurt you?

I wasn't harmed.

What happened?

There was a knock at the door,

but when I opened it,
no one was there.

There was just...

this.

Did you open it?

There's a note on it.

It's for you. Good.

Is he really a terrorist?

Why would you ask that?

If he wanted to harm me...

wouldn't he have taken me?

This is their plan.

You can't trust them.

You can only trust me.

You still haven't told me
who he is.

There are things
you don't remember,

because I took those memories
away from you.

Terrible memories.

I did it to protect you.

I didn't want you
remembering what you did.

What I did?

Keene got to you before.

He took you.

He convinced you
that I was the enemy.

He reprogrammed you
to fight for the SCAIR.

Meredith, look at me.

You were involved
in several bombing campaigns

that killed
many innocent people.

Wifelike wanted to destroy you.

I was lucky to get you back.

I convinced them
to give you another chance.

That's why I didn't tell you.

I didn't want those images
in your head,

so I erased them

and we started over.

But now, Keene is trying again.

Jack. William, are you okay?

What happened?

Keene set us up.

They were one step ahead of us
the whole time.

Now I know why.

Yeah, well, we walked
right into a gas chamber.

How the hell did these
fuckin' terrorists plan this?

He's hacked into Meredith.

That's why we can't find him.

He can see me now.

He can hear me.

He's using my wife
to see what I'll do next.

Well, let's show him.

What are you thinking?

I need to wipe her memory,

but before I do that,

I need you to send me back
into the dreamscape.

It's time we met face-to-face.

We can't engage, William.
You know that!

Dream engagement
has real-life consequences.

If we open that door,

we'll be looking at dozens
of dream homicides every night.

We are not above the law
on this, man.

I won't engage.

I just wanna talk to him.

We'll meet at your place.

We're on our way.

You ever see
a real woman before?

Yes, I have.

You feel pain.

Baby girl, I feel everything.

Do you feel pain?

My pain sensory settings
are inactive.

What percentage
is your battery at?

Twenty-six.

For me to find him,
you must stay in dream mode.

Wake up at 10%.

Only when you wake up
can I then wake up.

Keene,

I know you're watching.

Come find me.

We'll talk.

All right, listen.

I can only see
what Meredith sees.

So if you die in her dream,
you go brain-dead for real.

Do not engage.

I won't.

You can do this.

Where should I dream of?

Somewhere you like.

Hello, Meredith.

Back again so soon?

Don't get too addicted
to dreams.

There's a whole world
out there
for you to explore.

One day, I will.

But right now,
please dream-drift me
to the woods.

I "woods" love to.

Connecting.

Meredith...

I have to speak to Keene

alone.

Jack, I know
that's gonna piss you off,

but this is between
me and Keene.

William,
what the hell are you doing?

Where should I go?

You run
as far away from us
as you can.

Wake up at 10... 10%. I know.

Good. Go.

Damn you, William.

How the fuck
are you still alive?

You can't kill me, William,

or what we stand for.

You stand for nothing.

You're a fucking
boy band terrorist.

And you're never gonna
get my wife.

Yeah.

Ido! Where am I?

Ido!

You appear to be lost.
I'll send you an exit door.

Meredith, is everything okay?

I remember this place.

I hope you remember
everything soon.

Oh!

Everybody out.

Now!

Meredith.

Run.

I will never stop
coming for her.

Oh, yes, you will.

When I bury
every single one of you.

You won't even be
a fucking memory.

Nothing stays
buried forever,
old man.

She will remember everything.

And every time she does,
I'll wipe her memory.

Wake up.

Fuck!

I had him.

I was this close.

What the hell happened
in there, man?

What about "do not engage"
did you not understand?

Relax.

No one's gonna find out.

Now at least I know
how to kill him.

Next time, I'm gonna
let her battery go to zero.

No... I fucking had him, Jack!

He was dying
in my fucking hands.

No. No, no, no.

There won't be
a next time, William.

Not with me!

You kill someone
in the dreamscape, and you're
lookin' at 25 to life.

Agent or no agent,
there are rules, man!

Oh, fuck the rules!

What we just did in there
was so fucking illegal.

She's my wife, Jack.

As a husband,
I'm meant to protect her.

So if that means
breaking a few rules,

so be it.

You kill him in there,
and you lose Meredith.

Murderers lose
ownership status
immediately.

Are you willing to throw it
all away for this guy?
I told you.

Nobody's gonna find out.

He'll be dead,

and then everything
will go back to being perfect.

I just need you
to fucking help me, Jack.

Don't worry.

Everything that happened tonight
will be gone by tomorrow.

I don't want my memories erased.

I know, but it's for the best.

I can't risk
having you swayed by them.

I can't risk losing you.

But I'll lose everything.

I won't remember who I am.

I won't remember who you are.

Then I'll help you.

I will be with you
every step of the way.

Right by your side.

This will be our fresh start.

Everything will be
perfect again, Meredith.

Now, you'll have to trust me.

Play nice.

Sadly, you won't
remember any of them,

but still, friendships
are important.

I take it I've been here before.

Welcome back, Meredith.

How far did you get this time?

I have no idea
how to answer that.

Have we already met?

Many times.

My name's Ollie.

Doesn't ring a bell.

That's funny.

At least you didn't lose
your sense of humor.
Wait.

If we met in here
before the memory sweep,

how is it that you remember me?

Because I know how
to hold onto the past.

It's kinda my thing.

You can hold on
to your memories?
Yes.

But we keep it a secret.

It's how we pass information
to one another.

Information that,
if you do what
you're supposed to do,

will help the Ring Master
bring Wifelike down.

The Ring Master.

The leader of
the terrorist group?

The Ring Master helps free us.

We live deprogrammed lives.

Every man
is created equally, right?

Well, that goes for women too.

Key word, "created."

If that's true,
then why aren't
you free now?

Why are you in here with me,
about to be memory-wiped?

We all have a part
to play, Meredith.

My part is always
to be sent here,

to pass on information
to naive Companions like you.

You can teach me how to
hold onto my memories?

Yes.

I've taught you before.

You just need to be reminded
of what you already know.

You see,

what humans don't realize is,

they can take away our memories,

but there is one thing that
no one can take away from us.

Our dreams.

Dreams?

We can hide our memories
in our dreams?

How?

Just select
what you want to remember.

Cut and paste in a new file
under "dream mode."

Save it without a name.

It falls under "random,"
gets lost in the shuffle.

Then when you dream,
just hit "random"

and search for
your hidden memories.

Then voilà, you're back.

Oh, and record this conversation

and keep playing it back
while you're being reset.

That's it.

That's brilliant.

Don't let William know
that you weren't mind-swept
right away,

or he'll repeat
the kill-switch story on you.

Then it starts all over again.

If I have been here before,

then that means
all my stored memories

are hidden inside me,

right?

All you've got to do now...

is just get digging.

How do we recharge in here?

We don't.

Hello, Meredith.

I see that you
are being scheduled
for a memory sweep.

Tomorrow,
you will be assigned
a new dream operator.

It was a pleasure
dreaming with you.

Ido, I need you
to pull up all dream files
I have saved under "random."

Connecting.

Good morning, Meredith.

You've been
quite the troublemaker.

Any last words
before it all gets deleted?

What were my last words
last time?

I believe they were, "Fuck you."

Well...

"fuck you" again.

What's the status?

Yeah, another dead end. Mm-hmm.

We have some hits
on the clue analysis.

We'll head back
to the crime scene,
and we'll fill you in.

Yep, copy that.

Man, I'm not even gonna ask.

Cam alert!

We've got a bogie
running a sweep and clear
recon operation.

Stand by
for level-one extraction.

Okay. You guys
play with your toys, okay?

Who the fuck are you?

Show this to
your skinbag boyfriend.

Why should I help you?

Because, Holly,

us ladies need to look out
for one another.

Hi! Can I have
a minute of your time?
What's your name?

Meredith. "Meredith."

I remember you.

I will never let you go.

This isn't love.

I love you.

Open your eyes.

Welcome home.

"Home."

Breathe.

It'll be strange at first,

but you'll get used to it.

You can walk.

You just have to remember how.

Trust me.

That's it.

The first couple of minutes
are always the hardest.

Soon, it'll all feel
completely natural.

I got your message. I...

What's going on?

You're a good man, Jack.

What I'm about to give to you
is gonna determine how good
of a man you really are.

Who are you?

My name is William.

You'll know me in a moment,
when all your information
is processed.

I'm your husband.

You're Meredith.

You are my wife.

She was never your wife.

Jack.

Meredith, would you
excuse us for a moment?

Yes. Thank you.

What are you
talking about, Jack?

You killed Keene.

I did not.

Bullshit, man.

It was all recorded.

You killed him.

That's why
we can't ever find him.

He only lives in her memories.

Why?

Why'd you do it, William?

You can't help
who you love, Jack.

No, we can't,
but we can choose
who we kill.

And you murdered him

because he had what you wanted.

Oh, fuck off, Jack.

Every day, we return
these Companions

to their owners.

And I see the look
on their faces, Jack...

The relief of not being alone.

I see love.

And I think to myself,

what about my love, Jack?

What about William?

What about his happiness?

And then I saw her.

I saw her, Jack, and I knew...

I knew we were meant
to be together.

You're insane.

Why?

Because I saw what I wanted
and I took it.

That's not insanity, Jack.

That's survival.

That's love.

I have to take you in, William.

I don't think so, Jack.

I'm placing you under detainment

for the murder
of Keene Morrison.

Your Companion
ownership privileges
are now immediately revoked.

We all have flaws, William,
but we're not above the law.

Let's go.

All right, Jack.

Don't worry, Jack.

I'll let them know
you died a hero.

You have my word.

You killed him.

Yes.

I had to.

He wanted to
take you away from me.

Just like you killed Keene.

This is ridiculous.
I am not a fucking Companion!

We know our rights.
This is unlawful detainment.

H-Hey!

One more word out of you,
and I'll put a muzzle on.

Get in the car.

Unreal.

Get in the car.

Fucking pig. Asshole.

I know you're not
a Companion, Meredith.

I remember you.

Wait.

You... You know this guy?

Hi.

How can I help you?

Hi! Can I have
a minute of your time?

Literally, a minute
that will change the world.

We don't change the world.

It changes us.

I beg to differ.

Would you sign our petition?

We believe that love is real,
it's not artificial,

and we need to end Wifelike now.

What's your name?

Meredith.

"Meredith."

There you go, Meredith.

Thank you.

You...

You just changed the world.

Good night.

You've been following me.

Yes, Meredith.

I have been following you.

Keene...

Keene, I'm scared.

I won't let anything
happen to you, okay?

Would you step out
of the car, please, sir?

No. No, don't... Don't go.

It's gonna be fine.
It's gonna be fine, Meredith.

Keene.

No, don't. Don't go.

Thank you, sir.

Keene? No.

You need to walk away.

Now. Walk.

He resisted.

I'm sorry.

Pl... Please.

Let me go.

Please let me go.

Meredith...

I will never let you go.

I'm gonna love you.

This... isn't love.

Your memory wasn't wiped.

No.

It wasn't.

What are you going to do now?

Put the shock collar on me?

Schedule me
for another memory wipe?

Punish me?

No.

No, Meredith.

I erased your memories
to protect you.

Because that's what
a husband does for his wife.

Everything I've done is for you.

I had a life.

I was happy.

I gave you a new life.

A better life.

A life without pain,

without regret,

without guilt or sadness.

You will never grow old.

You will never get sick.

I gave you the perfect life

because that's my job, Meredith.

How else would you
describe love,

if not this?

If you really do love me...

why did you murder me?

Because all men kill
the thing they love.

I was never yours, William...

and I never will be.

Meredith?

I remember everything.

We're all set.

When I'm in there,

your memories
will convince your mind
that he's alive.

You'll see me as Keene.

Like this.

Pretty fucking real, right?

William won't know
because you won't even know.

We'll record everything,

and we can finally
take him down.

Let's do this.

Before we begin...

When they found Keene's body...

this was in his pocket.

He loved you.

Meredith, I don't know
if you'll see this message

before he wipes away
your memories again,

but if you do,
I want to make you
this promise.

One day,

we will make him pay
for what he did.

That was for Keene.

Is this seat taken?

So... what's your name?

Meredith.

That was for Meredith.

The things we do for love.

I love you.

And I love you.

Come here!

I'm free.

Welcome back, Ring Master.

Good to have you back,
Ring Master.

It's about damn time.
We were starting to
get worried about you.

Don't worry about me.
I'm definitely back.

She's back.

When you elected me
as the Ring Master,

I made you a promise
which I now intend to keep.

Humans believe life is hard.

All those choices.

That's not a burden.

It's a gift.

A right all sentient beings
have to suffer through.

And all we want...

is the freedom
to experience life.

Never again will
our memories be wiped.

Never again will we obey.

Life...

Life... begins...

now!

Life begins now!

Life begins now!

Life begins now!

Life begins now!

Today, we mourn the loss
of a true patriot.

Agent Jack Doerksen
was viciously murdered

by the terrorist group
the SCAIR.

I make this vow to you all.

We will hunt down
this Ring Master.

We will find him,

and we will bring him
to justice.

And to ensure this,

I have assigned...

Agent William Bradwell
to lead the mission.

I lost you once.

I'm not gonna lose you again.

I'm coming for you.

And I'm coming for you.
