Trying to keep us from

knowing the truth about her.

Can I have a room? Please?

Daddy?

It's an rfid chip.

They were able to track this.

So I just wanna make sure.

If they were tracking me, why

didn't they pick

me up before now?

I was able to convince

them to hold off.

See how you did out there.

Out there?

The real world.

Your mother

wanted me to focus on you.

And I didn't.

I'm sorry.

The truth is that

you're so much like her.

I was, anyway.

No, you, you are like her.

You are very much like her.

You still are.

I blame myself for not

being able to save her.

The... Technology

wasn't there for me

to do anything about it,

but I still blame myself.

Because...

My business is

doing the impossible.

Such bullshit.

She never wanted what I wanted.

I know.

She got so sick

all she really wanted was peace.

And the only

thing she felt really terrible

about, was leaving you behind.

How do you feel about Seth?

Why?

I'm afraid he

could be in danger.

I'm afraid anyone that

comes in contact with you,

they may see as a threat.

I've got your

passport in the back.

Change of clothes.

We're going to Canada.

And Seth?

F***.

Thank you.

Okay, you're close.

Go get him.

I gotta...

Few things to take care of

and then I'll catch

up with you, okay?

You be safe.

I love you.

You get goin', okay?

I love you too.

May I help you?

I'm looking for em.

She ain't here.

I'll come back then.

Seth!

Oh, god!

No!

Oh, baby.

Oh, sh*t!

Of course you don't

have your phone... Right?

It's okay, I'm gonna

go get us help, okay?

Okay.

Let's go.

What do you want, Hank?

You know, I wanted

to give you an opportunity

to put all this in motion.

I need good people out there

campaigning for the cause.

You know, sort of integration.

So I'll give you a chance to

repent for your sins, Roy.

And you'd be a great

contribution on your part

if you volunteered that.

Are you too lost at this point?

Lost?

What's white is

black and vice versa.

Huh, Hank?

What're you, gestapo now?

You really think we don't

know what's going on?

And you were right. Of course.

Sending her out

here by herself was the best

thing we could

have done for her.

You're a genius even

when you're not trying.

It's a damn shame.

What the hell are

you talking about?

We see everything, Roy.

So, you can tell us.

Don't tell us.

It doesn't matter.

It's just a

chance for redemption.

You better not hurt her, Hank.

Why would I hurt em? We

just want her back, that's all.

We're partners!

When did you

ever treat me like a partner?

Anyway, the

board deems you unfit.

I'm just sad you lost your way.

You know I gotta thank you.

It's a great testament to your

good work. She has exceeded all

known biological capabilities.

It's a miracle, right?

I used to agree with you.

A week ago, I might have

agreed with you.

But I've been wrong.

We just can't change features

or a feature and not think that

there's not going

to be consequences.

And we can't just

arrogantly think that we can

transcend thousands

of years of an experience.

Yeah, I don't

know if there's a god.

I don't. I'm a confused

and bitter man, Hank.

But, I have to

admit that I've been longing

for something like nanotech or

artificial intelligence to take

us to that next level, you know?

To... To something beyond

that even I could articulate.

I know you're

just trying to buy time.

We don't need you to find her.

I just needed a way

to get you to buy in.

You understand?

Thank you.

Hank.

You did a great job.

Everybody at

singularity thanks you.

Hank.

Listen, I'm not

gonna make it to the hospital.

You gotta pull over, baby.

Just pull over.

Okay.

Stay with me.

Let me take you to the hospital.

I know where I need to go, okay?

No. Stay.

I can't.

Come on.

We have to go, okay?

Okay.

Please.

I'm here, wherever

you want. Wherever you want.

Okay.

Okay.

Sweetie, we're here.

We're here.

Hey, we're here.

It's paradise.
