Your cloned brain will wake up

in the new body...

...with all your memories,

and since she knows nothing else, she'll...

...believe she's you.

But this is still Jules' only

chance, though, isn't it?

Please don't do this.

I want...

...Christmas with her first.

And, Dave,

Jules can never know.

Gwen needed you to perform

without misgivings.

So I excluded this memory

from the transfer.

She gave away her life with her daughter.

There's nothing inside of you

that knows what that meant.

There's nothing left.

Sales are through the roof.

Was I someone else before?

Body donor.

Do you remember my last

conversation with Gwen...

...in the holding room?

Can you feel that part of her

reaching through you...

...towards her little girl?

That part is lost.

Just inform me if you need

any additional changes.

Did you kill her?

She did this.

She's gone, Jules.

I'm sorry.

I don't believe you.

She wouldn't do that.

I can't seem to find my...

...Medicine.

I'm not gonna be here for anyone else.

I'm not gonna be here for any other reason.

What's wrong?

I don't really know why I'm alive.

Doesn't matter.

Whatever you do will be

wonderful and worthwhile.

How do you know?

I know because you're kind.

People say being kind is being weak.

You're alive because of energy...

...and empathy.

Your mother had

so much of it inside of her,

she needed to get it out.

So she made you.

You're starting to sound like her.

I'm sweating.

I hate sweating.

Are they late?

Relax.

Let's do the meditation thing

you learned at camp.

That was fun.
