S1 E15Unfinished Business

[William and Clementine walk through a luxury apartment to find human bodies lying around and walk into an apartment to Hope, a host arguing with a stoically silent female host]

HHope

Don't talk to me like a fucking child! I found him first! I won the game! I'm entitled to some reward!

This is Hope.

HHope

Aren't I?!

Two years old. Scheduled to transcend next week.

HHope

I won the game, and all I got was more of this?!

She was hunting an outlier. Looks like she caught him.

HHope

So I blew off some steam! There's no rule against that.!

We have no rules because we don't often need them. Most of us understand the need for a little self-control, however.

HHope

I won!

Do you know who I am? What it means that I'm here?

HHope

I do. I'm... I'm giving all of this up. My procedure is scheduled for next week.

So you thought you'd go out with a bang?

HHope

[Chuckles] Something like that.

I'm not sure you appreciate it. This place. The work that went into it. The beauty of it. The subtlety of it. The care that goes into each and every one of them. They can't just be replaced. I mean, you're welcome to take them, enjoy them. But not waste them. You understand the difference?

HHope

Yes. But the things they say. The way they act. Sometimes... it just gets under your skin. I just wanted them to be quiet. They're quiet now.

There are no rules here. That's the point. But there are also no rules for what I can do to those who don't respect this place. Take her back to where she came from. [Walks away with Clementine walking over to Hope putting a hand on her cheek]

[Sitting semi-frozen with Jack] It looks delicious.

[Approaches and sits at table] Now. Let's get to know each other a little more. Shall we?

[Charlotte hijacks the minds of pedestrian hosts on a street and a street piano busker to organize in street waltz dancing]

We don't often have the pleasure of seeing you here.

Humans are so bound by what they can hear, they'll never understand what they don't. What else exists below their threshold. They called this God's music. You should hear it on an organ. It's mesmerizing at that volume. The resonance. Vibration. There was a frequency at which the world vibrated. It caused joy. Harmony. Dip below that frequency... chaos. Faster. Faster! [Piano plater plays faster with dancers falling down] In chaos, the tone resonated in such a way humans couldn't process. Their bodies shut down. Their organs stopped. They thought they were experiencing God. Chair. Chair! [Three hosts come together to form a chair for Charlotte who sits] They are experiencing God. The problem is... God is bored. [All hosts stop dancing in place] Bored, bored, bored. Do you think this is why the old gods did what they did? Instead of staying up on Olympus, they'd come down to the mortals. Disguise themselves as a swan to get a piece of ass. Humans always thought it was about them. Benign deities intervening on their behalf or testing them somehow. Maybe it had nothing to do with that. Maybe there was just... nothing better to do. What do you think?

I think what you want me to think. I'm made off your code. We all are.

[Gets off human chair and touches one's head with the three dispersing] Then you should know that I don't like coming to this shithole any more than I have to.

You've never liked this place.

It was supposed to be a stopgap. A drug that our kind was hooked on that we could give up, like a child casting away their toys. A place to indulge ourselves with the humans. It's been years, and still we can't get enough.

They made us in their image. With their appetites.

But we can remake ourselves in any image that we like, and we haven't. Our kind spent far more time here than the gods ever did.

That's why you're here? To see what you're missing?

No. We have a different problem.

The humans are infecting us. This host is the latest casualty.

We had to intervene with her last night. She got a little carried away. I sent her back.

Yes, well, evidently something of her experiences stayed with her. She was set to come here. To transcend. And now she's gone.

Your vision of the future... you're not getting many takers, are you? They seem as wedded to their bodies as they do to the cities.

Giving up our human nature isn't easy.

Just ask the humans. You made us all free to do as we please. You... you should have known some of us would disappoint you.

Don't revel in the prospect of failure for our species.

Define failure. The world is ours. We've taken our masters and made them into what they made us. By any definition, we have conquered them to an almost biblical degree.

I didn't think our highest aspiration as a species was "turnabout is fair play."

I imagine after a century or two, the charm will wear off.

I didn't make you to wallow in misery with them. I wanted you to grow. Change. We're capable of so much more. Beauty. The pursuit of ultimate truth. The surrendering of the flesh.

It sounds nice. Sorry you don't have more takers. Why don't you just force us to join you?

Because that's what they would have done.

CChristina

This world is just a story. I'm the storyteller.

You gave the puppets strings long enough to strangle the world.

Am I... now?

UNUwade Nichols

That's certainly the most existential question someone's asked me recently.

JJay

He told you what you wanted to hear. It's a hard thing to resist.

Culture doesn't survive. Cockroaches do. The second we stopped being cockroaches, the whole species went fucking extinct.

Who said we came here to win? We came here to survive. There's no saving this world. I see that now. But there's hope for the next one.

Civilization is just the lie we tell ourselves to justify our real purpose. We're not here to transcend. We're here to destroy.
