Josh? Sh*t!

You scared the hell out of me.

You too. What's going on?

What's that sound?

Um... I got a dog.

You got a dog?

Yes, I got a dog.

I always wanted to get a dog.

You never let me.

Yeah?

Well, I didn't feel like

livin' with two b*tches.

You don't have to be

mean about it.

What do you mean "mean," do you mean

like bring other guys in our bed?

Guy. Not guys.

Huge difference for me.

And besides, I always told you

I was on the fence about us.

Well, you're

outside the fence now.

So you can just go.

How'd you even get in here?

I still have a key. I told you I

was coming to get my last box.

All right, there it is.

Take it.

Josh?

What? I'm very busy right now.

I just wanted to apologize for

the way I treated you. Good.

Hope you feel better

about yourself now.

I should have never left the way I did.

I'm glad you did.

Don't miss me?

Even a little bit?

This is nuts!

Why are you so angry?

Because you cheated, lied, stole and

dumped me like a piece of sh*t...

when there was nothing

left to take.

Now take your box

and get the f*** out!

What happened to you, Josh?

Why? 'Cause I'm not getting used

and pushed around by you anymore?

Good.

I love you.

Why can't she just get it

through her head to move on...

Greta.

Jesus. What happened?

I'm so sorry.

I feel horrible about

the way I treated you.

When it rains, it pours.

I know it's stupid

to cry like this.

No. I didn't mean it like that.

I just didn't expect things

to go so far between us.

What?

I think I really fell for you

'cause I got scared too, and then...

I'm just gonna go. Wait.

And I know it doesn't mean

anything anymore, but...

I didn't sleep with him.

Josh...

any girl would be lucky

to be with you.

Yeah.

I've been expecting your call.

So, thank you guys

so much for watching!

This has been J-TECH. Signing

off for Tekker TV. Peace out.

Did I tell you

or did I tell you?

I mean, look at that face.

Is that not the face

of technology?

Of the future?

You can trust this face.

I know I do.

It's great.

Beautiful face.

Help! Shut up!

Just get away from me!

Help! Help! Help!

Shut up!

Is Mom better?

How did you know?

I just had a feeling.

Someone here

wants to talk to you.

Hi, baby.

It's okay. Mom's okay.

The doctors say they think

I'm gonna be just fine.

It's the darndest thing,

isn't it?

I love you, Mom.

I love you too, sweetheart.

I'm gonna visit really soon. I'm

sorry I haven't been there for you.

Don't you worry about me. You

just take care of yourself.

I know I'm in your prayers.

I love you.

I'll be right back.

Thank the Lord.

I won't lie to you.

She's in a lot of pain.

But they say that

she's gonna live.

I tell you, we have a guardian angel

looking over this family, Josh.

How else can you explain it.

Thank the Lord.

Blessed be thy name.

Dad, Mom is standing behind you.

What are you talking about?

I have to do it again.

Josh? It's Greta.

I know you're in there.

I missed you.

I have a surprise for you.

Is Mom better?

How did you know?

I just have a feeling.

Someone here

wants to talk to you.

Hi, baby.

Oh, it's okay, honey.

The doctors say they think

I'm gonna be just fine.

It's the darnedest thing,

isn't it?

I love you, Mom.

I love you too, sweetheart.

I'm gonna visit really soon.

I'm sorry I haven't been there.

No, don't you worry about me.

You take care of yourself, okay?

I love you.

I'll be right back.

Thank the Lord!

Dad, listen to me.

They say she's gonna live.

We have a guardian angel

looking after this family, Son.

How else can you explain it.

Thank the Lord.

Oh, blessed be thy name.

She's standing right behind you!

She's gonna stab you

with a knife!

Dad, she's gonna stab you!

Watch out!

What are you talking about?

I feel so much better.

You look really tired. I think

you need to get some rest.

Josh.

It's Greta.

Go away!

Leave me alone!

I know you're in there.

Detective McQuee.

Hello?

Hello?

Who's there?

Can you hear me?

Look, if you've got an emergency,

you gotta call 911, all right?

Hello?

Hello?

"'Tis a common proof that lowliness

is young ambition's ladder,"

where to the climber

upward turns his face.

But when reaches the upmost round

unto the ladder, he turns his back,

"looks to the sky, scorning the base

degrees by which he did ascend."

Hello, Joshua.

What is this? Who are you?

What do you want from me?

If memory serves me right, it was

you who came looking for me.

You needed help

with a young lady... Greta.

Holy sh*t. The app.

I-Lived. Are you the developer?

In a sense. Are you

unsatisfied with the product?

How does it work?

Like all apps. A series of

equations, fractions, numbers.

An algorithm designed to solve a

specific problem, fulfill a need.

That's the definition

of technology.

From fire to the wheel

to the Internet...

technology's made the world a

better place for you, has it not?

This is different.

It's like it knows me.

It knows you, Josh, because you've

uploaded everything about yourself.

Likes, dislikes, fears,

hopes, photos, videos,

intimate thoughts and desires.

I want it to stop.

Stop? Why would you

want it to stop?

Hasn't it given you everything you've

asked for, everything you've wanted?

It's hurting people.

People hurt people, Josh.

This... This is helping people.

By killing someone?

Everybody dies.

It's a means to an end. We're just...

helping them along.

It wants too much.

Everything is changing.

Everything's always changing.

It's the serpent

shedding its skin.

It's Eve giving Adam the apple.

It's been with you since

the beginning of time.

Apple?

That's right. You think

you can take it on?

It's too late. We're in business

together, and the numbers are climbing.

I never asked for this.

This is exactly

what you asked for.

- I want out.

- I wish I could help.

You signed a contract.

You made a deal.

I never read it.

They never do.

I want out.

Josh, let me remind you of all of that amazing

footage of you and Miss Lee in the garage.

Torture, kidnapping,

electricity.

Oh, that... that was good.

I own you.

I-Lived is 300 million strong because

of your glowing endorsement.

You work for me now.

Josh, you're so close.

Be the man

you're destined to be.

Take it,

or... your life ends now.

I'm not sorry for this.

I have no feelings for you.

I have no remorse.

No guilt.

No! No!
