Blood Drive (2017): Season 1, Episode 13 - Finish Line - full transcript
Arthur, Grace, & Slink attack Heart Enterprises, but their deepest fears are waiting for them.
- Previously
on "blood drive"...
- Ain't no laws no more.
- Where is everybody?
- Everyone's in
those fracking tubes.
- You're becoming human.
- You're right.
- They're never gonna stop,
grace.
Not until everything you love
is gone!
[Screams]
- [Grunts]
- [Robotically]
I'm your friend...
- What the fuck is happening?
- I built a new you.
This might sting a little.
- Give me all the mods.
- [Yells]
[Crowd oohs]
? ?
[suspenseful synth music]
[Thunder roars]
? ?
[tires screeching]
- [Yells]
- Slow down.
The race is over.
Arthur.
- I'll ease up a bit.
- Don't bother.
The city's a graveyard.
Nothing left in the streets
but gutter punk vermin
and drug addicts
with blood so toxic,
not even heart would put them
into the fracking tubes.
Nah, you go right ahead.
Grind 'em up.
You'd be doing them a favor.
- Is that their end game?
Put the whole world
in fracking tubes?
- They're powerful enough
to destroy
two of the greatest cities
on the planet.
What makes you think
they're gonna stop
at la and New York?
The scar: The source
of all hard-tech power
beyond our comprehension,
and that whole building's
one quasi-sentient
inter-dimensional
death labyrinth.
They'll know
we're there to hurt it.
- Oh, I'm not gonna hurt it.
I'm gonna kill it.
- Ooh!
Slinky like
the new primo Arthur.
You know why I'm glad?
Little bit of fan fiction.
Starring you and I.
Very steamy.
- I don't know
why you find this so funny.
There's a 99% chance
we're gonna die tonight.
- For you? 99.9.
We are careening
towards the greatest
corporate power
on the face of the earth.
- Cut off
the head of the snake--
- and the rest of the snake dies
with it.
- Yes, but...
This is no mayhem party.
And there'll be
a thousand employees
there tonight whose only job
will be to stop us.

- heart enterprises.
Please hold.
Heart enterprises.
Please hold.
Heart enterprises.
Please hold.
Heart enterprises.
Please hold.
Heart enterprises.
Please hold.
- Well, that was anticlimactic.
- Heart enterprises.
Please hold.
Heart enterprises.
Please hold.
[Rock music]
? ?
heart enterprises.
Please hold.
Heart enterprises.
Please hold.
Heart enterprises.
Please hold.
- The hell happened here?
- Heart enterprises.
Please hold.
- Maybe somebody beat us to it?
- Looks like
they were all trying to escape.
- From what?
- [Screams]
- [Slowing down robotically]
Heart enterprises...
- Heart enterprises,
please die!
- [Malfunctioning indistinctly]
- She never validated
my parking.
- You know every scumbag
in this world.
Who did this?
- Definitely the work
of a singular, deranged mind.
Very little blood. Classy.
This way.
? ?
[device whines]
- What the fuck is going on?
- A security measure!
Heart architecture is like
a time warp continuum.
Kind of like m. C. Escher
on acid.
- If you'd listen
to my monologues more,
you wouldn't be so confused.
Both: How can we be
in both places at once?
- Exactly! Shall we?
? ?
- this is too weird.
No way I trust him.
- Agreed.
[Technology shimmers]
[Device whines]
? ?
[device whines]
? ?
- step lightly.
Stick to the path.
Otherwise,
you'll get lost in here forever.
No! No, not that way!
? ?
now we have to start
all over again
from the beginning!
- Slink? Where'd everyone go?
- Gone.
Purged.
Flushed out.
Or, to put it
in blood drive parlance,
the building took a shit.
- Well,
let's quit dicking around
and blow this place
before we disappear too.
- Ah! There it is.
You want to make the building
go boom.
I was wondering what the hell
you guys were doing.
- Karma?
- Hey, sis.
Did you guys like what I did
with all the pussies
who worked here?
They were trying to leave.
Can you believe that?
Where's the corporate loyalty?
Little something
from the heart lab.
Can't wait to show you
what else
we've been developing.
- Karma, stop it right now.
Just come out.
We can talk.
- Is anybody else wondering
how this is possible?
'Cause I saw her go in
a blood engine with my own eyes.
- Surprise!
The blood engines,
they're prototype
soul reclamators.
But without a soul,
she would've spun
right through the vortex
and landed right back here
without a scratch.
I underestimated
your assistant.
Here I thought I was finally
done with her fuckery.
Now! Follow closely this time.
? ?
- she's the head of the snake.
- She's still my sister.
- Not anymore.
If Karma's in charge,
all the more reason
to bring this building down.
- You know I can hear
everything you're saying,
right?
- She was so innocent.
- Tell that
to all the people she killed.
- Hello? Hi.
Remember me?
We need to go.
- What if I had given up on you
when you went homicidal?
- Barbie? Hey, is it okay
if I call you Barbie?
I really hope you're not getting
too attached to her.
Grace likes to get rid of things
when she's done using them.
- Fuck off!
- Ooh!
She sounds upset.
You know, when I died,
I wasn't such a fucking brat
about it.
Now, let's go!
? ?
- let's not let her
get under our skin.
? ?
- so, guys...
What's the plan
after the big climax?
A nice epilogue scene?
Maybe start a new adventure
together?
- I'll settle for gettin' you
to shut up.
- Ooh. So angry all the time.
[Chuckles]
I bet grace likes that.
She loves dangerous guys.
And a few girls.
- Guys, girls--
doesn't matter.
None were me.
I don't care
if this is the corporate
headquarters of hell.
We're gonna bring
this building down,
and there's nothing you can do
to stop us.
- [Snickers]
Wanna bet, bitches?
- Christopher,
why did you ask for this?
These modifications
are dangerous.
Please talk to me.
? ?
don't leave me here alone.
- [Groaning]
- Yes.
Come back.
Wh-what have they done to you?
- [Groaning]
- I'm so sorry.
We have to leave
this horrible place
and never come back.
I can't stand thinking
what I did to you in here.
- [Groans]
- If we're going outside,
we're gonna need supplies.
Every city's in chaos now.
? ?
I'll be back.
? ?
[ominous music]
? ?
- where did you go?
- One thing about heart,
they're cheap bastards.
These stairs are only used
by the aki units.
There's no cameras
or microphones.
Should have cost 3 million.
Instead,
they only spent 1.4.
Don't want to waste
expensive tech
on their slave labor.
Bright side is,
Karma can't see or hear us.
- How do you know for sure?
- Well, i-i used to be
a janitor
here for a short while--
it's amazing what you'll find
in executives' garbage.
For instance, the central beam
that holds this whole place
together--
that comes down,
the whole building
comes down with it.
- How do I find Karma?
- Well, she used to haunt
the boardroom on the top floor.
- And where's the central beam?
- [Giddily]
In the basement.
- She'd kill you
without thinking twice.
- Doesn't mean
i have to do the same.
- [Quickly]
Ticktock. Ticktock. Ticktock.
- We came all this way
and made a plan.
You want to throw all that away?
I'll help.
- I want to save her.
- No, no, no,
no, no, no-no, no--
- shut the fuck up, slink!
Okay.
Better get going.
- Boy, she gives you anal
on the first date,
and now she's got you wrapped
around her little finger.
- Watch your mouth,
or we'll be meeting
your next clone.
[Dramatic music]
[Slink rustling]
? ?
- you want to play...
Primo? Fine.
If we're not on the same side,
let's... see who wins.
[Device whirs]
How does 30 minutes sound?
Heart will be destroyed...
Whether you're in this building
or not.
[Quickly]
Ready? Set? Go!
? ?
- what's wrong?
- When our parents died,
I tried my best.
I didn't ever want
to raise Karma.
Guess she saw through
the bullshit.
- Despite
everything that's happened,
I know how much you love Karma.
- Yeah, and somehow,
I'm still the reason
we're all in this mess.
- You're not responsible.
You didn't create heart.
- I'm not talking about heart.
I'm talking about myself.
What if she was right?
What if everything she said
was true,
and what if I can't care
about anybody other than myself?
What?
You're not gonna say anything?
- I don't care.
- What is that supposed to mean?
- Even if Karma was right,
which she wasn't,
I don't care.
You saw something in me
i couldn't see in myself.
I want to do you
the same courtesy.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
Now, let's go save your sister
and get the hell out of here.
- I give them fame, fortune,
make them look sexy--
what do I get?
Aggravation.
How utterly ungrateful.
- Help!
[Coughs]
Someone, please.
I'm hurt bad!
She went crazy, man.
She broke into our lab.
Sh-she took everything.
Stuff
we-we haven't even tested yet.
- Who? Karma?
She didn't leave any aki units
running around down here,
did she?
They can be... quite pesky.
- No, no,
she-she shut everything down,
all-all the programs.
- What do you mean?
What do you mean,
all the programs?
Even the Antigua research lab?
- That's classified.
- But you have access?
Get me access to that room,
and I swear I will avenge you.
I'll make her pay
for all that she's done:
Destroying the labs,
for killing all the employees,
for cutting you in half.
- She cut me in half?
Jesus!
Fuck! My legs!
[Whimpering]
My legs!
My fucking legs!
Oh, Jesus!
Call me an ambulance?
Hello?
[Intense music]
[Device whines]
? ?
- as soon as we open this door,
we're back on the grid.
She'll know we're here
and probably doesn't want
to be saved.
? ?
I guess slink was wrong
about something for once.
- Bye, Barbie.
[Energy pulsing]
- Arthur!
- Good. Now we can finally talk
in private.
- What are you doing?
Dad's gonna kill you.
- Dad already tried.
- Wait. Please don't go.
- Look, kid, I just need
to blow off some steam, okay?
I'll be back.
- What if he wakes up?
- After ten beers?
? ?
[engine turning over]
? ?
- any t-swift in here?
- Who?
? ?
this... is music.
[april wine's "just between
you and me" playing]
? ?
- ? time and time again ?
- can I take a turn?
- Smoking? No way.
- Gross. No.
Driving.
- Even worse!
- Please?
The car's named after me.
- Karma,
the car was here before you.
Think about it.
- This feels good.
It feels like freedom.
- I wonder what dad would do
if we never came back.
- ? Baby,
I know our love will be ?
[window handle squeaking]
? Just between you and me ?
? always I know ?
- hey!
That was my last one.
[Both grunting]
[Intense music]
? ?
[blade shimmers]
? ?
are you fucking kidding me?
I don't believe it.
Grace d'argento
is actually in love.
He must have a magical dick.
[Panting]
A blood engine
couldn't kill me.
What makes you think
this thing would?
- I really don't give a shit
what you think anymore.
- So what's the plan, Gracie?
You gonna kill me? Again?
Or let me guess.
Try to reform me.
You want me to change my mind.
Be a good person.
But you bring nothing else
to the table.
At least
this company sees my value.
- You destroyed
everything I ever loved.
Including yourself.
- I guess it's Karma.
? ?
- yeah. Well.
Karma's a bitch.
- [Sighs]
Son of a bitch.
- [Grunts]
? ?
Arthur...
Arthur!

Arthur?
Hello?
[Walls squish]
? ?
[lock beeps, latch shuffles]
- Hey, Julian!
How's it going, buddy?
Sort of burned up
all your clones.
Sorry about that.
Had to do it.
You might be the only thing
that could really threaten
the company.
- And yet, here I am.
- Yes... and no.
You are the last of your kind.
There will never be
another one, ever.
I made sure of it.
You know, it wasn't easy
figuring out
what would hurt you,
but then it hit me:
You've never been afraid
to die.
So... here's the news.
You can either bring down
the central beam
and destroy the building,
but you'll kill yourself
in the process--
really kill yourself--
or you can just walk out
the front door
without getting your revenge.
But you can't do both.
You have to choose.
- To be or not to be...
That is the question.
? ?
? ?
- we have to move fast.
They're gonna blow us up.
? ?
- no.
[Groans]
I'm sorry.
The rainbows, I...
- Right.
Hey, um...
You happen to see a...
A guy come by here?
He wears a top hat.
Deep voice.
Kind of looks like a magician.
- The walls are alive.
All of the whispers,
they-they see 'em moving.
- [Gently]
Sure they are.
Yeah, sure they are.
I have to find this guy.
I have to stop him
from blowing the central beam,
or he'll kill grace.
That way?
- [Groans]
- That way? Okay.
Thanks, I owe you one, buddy.
Hey, I'll get somebody back here
asap for you.
You're gonna-you're gonna
be fine!
[Panting]
? ?
oh, shit.
[Footsteps approaching slowly]
? ?
Christopher!
You're--
[Gasps]
- Hey... partner.
[Rock music playing]
? ?
- yo, man.
Yo!
Where's your lady?
Thought we were double-dating.
- She's not coming.
Said she wasn't feeling well.
The three of us
can still eat, though.
Unless... no, I'd be--
i don't want to--
- just hold on.
Just hold on.
- No, no, no.
- Just hold on.
I'm sorry, babe.
Can we meet back at your place?
- Who says you're even
coming back to my place?
- [Chuckling]
- Okay. Your call.
- Don't be too long.
[Chuckles]
? ?
- you didn't have to do that.
- Where is she for real?
- She left.
Said she doesn't want
to marry a cop.
- Forget her.
If she don't see the real you,
you don't want her.
- Still sucks, though.
- Of course it does.
But as my grandmama
used to say,
women are like buses--
always another one to ride.
- Didn't know
your grandmama was a feminist.
- [Chuckles]
- Pentecostal feminist.
Used to beat my ass
to kirk Franklin.
Let's get drunk.
- What about your girl?
- Ah.
I'd rather hang with you.
- [Yells]
? ?
- ain't that a motherfucker?
Me being all tech and awesome?
And you still being a skin sack?
- Christopher.
You're making a mistake.
- My only mistake
was being your partner.
You haven't even asked
why I'm kicking your ass.
[Both grunting]
- You're not kicking my ass.
- 'Cause there's no iron
in your bones.
Guilt makes you weak.
- [Groans]
Okay.
I've been looking for you.
I've been trying
to shut this company down.
[Implants whining]
[Metal clangs]
- I watched you kill me.
Repeatedly.
[Elevator bell dings]
- It wasn't you.
It was a robot, obviously.
[Yells, grunts]
- You didn't know that
at the time.
- ? I'm a yankee-doodle dandy ?
? yankee-doodle, do... ?
or die.
? ?
[exhales noisily]
? ?
[device whines]
- [Whistling]
- Good evening!
Gentlemen, I'm Julian slink.
So pleased
to make your acquaintance.
Before we can proceed
any further,
I shall require
the proper dress:
Not quite steampunk,
but not quite retro;
homemade colors,
preferably not from nature;
boots made from calf skin;
underwear, sometimes;
shirts from persia,
silk or panda wool;
and finally,
something dramatic on top,
some flair, a bowler--
no, no!--A top hat.
Yes, a top hat.
Perfect.
- [Groans]
He talks too much.
That's the third nurse
they killed this week.
- Why do they want
3,000 of 'em?
- Should've focused
on my design.
It's much better.
Robotic. Obedient.
- I thought
you were two weeks behind.
- Managed to merge the code.
Had to leave a little bio
inside,
but not worried about it.
- That's dangerous.
She-she manages to access
that code,
she could unlock her humanity.
- Never gonna happen.
Not unless she figures out
how to have an orgasm.
[Both laugh]
[Device whines]
- To die, to sleep.
To sleep, perchance to dream.
Ay, but there's the rub;
for in that sleep of death,
what dreams may come
when we've shuffled off
this mortal coil.
- I never understood that.
Until now.
- I thought all the aki units
had been shut down.
- I'm not an aki unit anymore.
I'm just aki.
I am.
- Ah... consciousness.
Humanity.
How unfortunate for you.
- You've lived, haven't you?
- I have lived thousands
of lives, my dear.
- Then you know.
- Know what?
- Why I have to do this.
- [Grunts]
Fucking hell.
- Guess I'm not fully human yet.
I still have some strength left.
I can't let you
bring down the building, Julian.
You'll kill Christopher.
Where's your compassion?
- Please.
Just because you're human
doesn't mean you're good.
- That's not true.
I have real feelings now.
I'm a person.
- [Laughs]
Big deal.
You got tingles
in all your dangly bits
and a knot in your stomach
from all the terrible things
you've done to him.
But that's not empathy.
That's guilt.
It's a waste of your time.
[Suspenseful music]
- Tell me
where Christopher went.
I don't have access
to the security cameras anymore.
- I can't.
[Gulps]
- Then what use are you to me?
- [Gasps]
? ?
ah, ah, ah!
You tamper with those bombs,
I'll override the timer.
We can all go,
right here, right now,
including
your precious Christopher.
[Bomb ticking]
You better go find him.
You only have
a few minutes left.
- I've just severed
your spinal cord.
? ?
you're going to die
in this building,
Julian slink.
[Bomb ticking]
[Both grunting]
[Elevator bell dings]
? ?
- you left me to rot
in this place.
But look at me now.
- What do you mean, this place?
I thought you were back in la.
[Groans]
- This basement is infinite.
Can you wrap that turd
you call a brain around that?
It's connected to every single
heart building in the world.
You can't imagine
the power of this place.
- Oh, yes, I can.
[Electricity sizzling]
[Both yelling]
? ?
wait, wait.
Wait.
Time-out.
Time-out.
[Yells]
? ?
what happened to your dick?
- Fuck!
- [Laughs]
? ?
you let her
make you more awesome,
but it cost you your dick.
What's the point of being
awesome if you can't screw?
Maybe you're not
the real Christopher after all.
Maybe I did kill you.
Maybe you're
the shitty piece of hardware
they used to replace you!
[Grunts]
- You're such a goddamn pussy.
All those years
i wasted listening
to your do-good bullshit
were a waste of time.
It was all an act.
You weren't a good guy.
You were just a coward.
[Grunting]
Gonna write about it
in your fuckin' book?
[Christopher whirs and hums]
Whine about it
like a little bitch.
I trusted you.
I looked up to you.
And now I'm gonna kill you.
- I got a better idea,
John deere.
Say hi to the fuckin' primo.
[Both yelling]
? ?
- primo fights like a girl.
[Grace yells]
[Christopher grunts]
Was that supposed to hurt me?
- No. But this will.
[Mellow music]
? ?
- I thought you were dead.
- Seems to happen a lot
around here.
- Do you want to take a minute?
- We don't have a minute.
- You sure?
He was your partner.
- That thing wasn't Christopher.
Not anymore.
Let's go.
- Better go find slink
and stop the countdown.
? ?
- [wheezing]
? ?
[bomb ticking]
- How do I turn this off?
- Can't.
It's called "fail-safe"
for a reason.
No take-backs.
No second chances.
- Then how do we get out
of here?
- Wish I could be there
for the big boom!
- Karma d'argento,
open this door right now!
- Sorry, sis.
It's the end of the road.
- If you're in this building,
you die too.
- I've got
a get out of jail free card
called the blood gate.
See you on the other side.
Not!
- Karma! Wait.
- Whaaat?
- You-you remember
that guy you liked?
Lucas?
He asked for my number.
- Go to hell, you fucking bi--
- [grunts]
- It's a sliding door, Arthur.
- You got any better ideas?
? ?
- [chuckles]
? ?
so I guess this is it.
? ?
- no lollipop?
- Death calls for
something stronger.
? ?
? ?
- wait, fuck this.
Heart took
every happy thing we ever had.
I'm not letting him take
what's left.
[Grunts]
- What are you doing?
? ?
it needs a charge to detonate,
you know.
- I know.
Little trick
the scholar taught me.
[Device whines]
? ?
whatever you do...
Don't come near me.
- Arthur, no!
- [Grunts]
- Holy shit.
You did it.
It worked.
- [Stammering indistinctly]
What's... wrong?
- Twenty seconds left.
- Grace.
Probably won't believe me,
but I never wanted this
to end a tragedy.
I was actually hoping
that you two might just make it
in the end.
- Ten. Nine.
Eight. Seven.
Six. Five.
Four. Three.
Two. One.
Guys?
Hey, guys?
My bad.
- You asshole!
- Yeah, actually...
I need to hit this little button
right here.
Oops!
[Timer chirping]
- You asshole.
- Asshole!
- Please. Just because
I'm rooting for you two
doesn't mean
i have to suck all the tension
out of the ending.
There's a pipe.
Green stripes every 30 feet.
Follow it.
It'll be the fastest way out.
Arthur.
- What?
- All those...
People I killed...
This is what they felt like?
- Yes.
[Bomb ticking]
- Oh... my.
I wish I had my hat.
[Dramatic music]
? ?
[blade shimmers]
[Grace grunting]
? ?
[gore squishes]
? ?
- okay. Let me see.
Let me look at it.
Oh, god.
Stay with me.
- Almost.
- You're gonna be fine.
It's not that bad.
Listen, I'll get some help.
- There's no help.
This building won't even be here
in ten seconds.
What you really need
is one of these.
[Material crackling]
[Arthur yells]
[Karma grunts]
? ?
- oh, we can play
all day, Barbie.
I can just open up another one
over here.
Dick hole.
[Grunts]
- Okay. Okay.
Let's get you to your feet.
Let's go.
- There's no time.
- Grace.
- There's no time.
- Slink was probably bluffing.
- He was dying.
That's normally when people
start taking things seriously.
- Ten. Nine.
Eight. Seven.
Six. Five.
- At least we had each other.
- Four. Three.
- Even for a few seconds.
- Two.
One.
- Boom.
Ladies and gentlemen,
bastards and tramps,
bloodsuckers, motherfuckers...
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Road trash, and vamps.
- Let's go.
Let's go.
- Did you really think that I,
Julian slink,
master of ceremonies,
god of the stage,
would let a timer
steal my moment?
- He's not gonna do it.
- This is slink
we're talking about.
He finally has his spotlight.
- I was born in this building,
and now I've returned
to destroy it.
The prodigal son meets
oedipus Rex.
Sorry if you're binging this,
but no more
bullshit fake deaths.
? ?
no more clever surprises.
Just...
Good old fashioned...
Catharsis.
[Glass shattering]
- We have to go!
- Grace!
[Screams]
Grace!
- It's too late for her!
- I know.
- Grace!
Please, don't leave me!
? ?
- I love you, Barbie.
? ?
okay. Okay.
- You stayed?
- I'm never leaving you
again, sis.
- And...
Scene.
- The FBI is still
investigating the attack
but have released a statement
claiming
the disaster was the act
of a single terrorist
working alone.
According to heart enterprises,
the culprit was
one Arthur Bailey,
well-known to the public
as "the primo,"
a controversial
television star.
While the fate of Mr. Bailey
is unknown,
the company has assured
the public
that he will no longer be
a menace to society.

on "blood drive"...
- Ain't no laws no more.
- Where is everybody?
- Everyone's in
those fracking tubes.
- You're becoming human.
- You're right.
- They're never gonna stop,
grace.
Not until everything you love
is gone!
[Screams]
- [Grunts]
- [Robotically]
I'm your friend...
- What the fuck is happening?
- I built a new you.
This might sting a little.
- Give me all the mods.
- [Yells]
[Crowd oohs]
? ?
[suspenseful synth music]
[Thunder roars]
? ?
[tires screeching]
- [Yells]
- Slow down.
The race is over.
Arthur.
- I'll ease up a bit.
- Don't bother.
The city's a graveyard.
Nothing left in the streets
but gutter punk vermin
and drug addicts
with blood so toxic,
not even heart would put them
into the fracking tubes.
Nah, you go right ahead.
Grind 'em up.
You'd be doing them a favor.
- Is that their end game?
Put the whole world
in fracking tubes?
- They're powerful enough
to destroy
two of the greatest cities
on the planet.
What makes you think
they're gonna stop
at la and New York?
The scar: The source
of all hard-tech power
beyond our comprehension,
and that whole building's
one quasi-sentient
inter-dimensional
death labyrinth.
They'll know
we're there to hurt it.
- Oh, I'm not gonna hurt it.
I'm gonna kill it.
- Ooh!
Slinky like
the new primo Arthur.
You know why I'm glad?
Little bit of fan fiction.
Starring you and I.
Very steamy.
- I don't know
why you find this so funny.
There's a 99% chance
we're gonna die tonight.
- For you? 99.9.
We are careening
towards the greatest
corporate power
on the face of the earth.
- Cut off
the head of the snake--
- and the rest of the snake dies
with it.
- Yes, but...
This is no mayhem party.
And there'll be
a thousand employees
there tonight whose only job
will be to stop us.

they were all trying to escape.
- From what?
- [Screams]
- [Slowing down robotically]
Heart enterprises...
- Heart enterprises,
please die!
- [Malfunctioning indistinctly]
- She never validated
my parking.
- You know every scumbag
in this world.
Who did this?
- Definitely the work
of a singular, deranged mind.
Very little blood. Classy.
This way.
? ?
[device whines]
- What the fuck is going on?
- A security measure!
Heart architecture is like
a time warp continuum.
Kind of like m. C. Escher
on acid.
- If you'd listen
to my monologues more,
you wouldn't be so confused.
Both: How can we be
in both places at once?
- Exactly! Shall we?
? ?
- this is too weird.
No way I trust him.
- Agreed.
[Technology shimmers]
[Device whines]
? ?
[device whines]
? ?
- step lightly.
Stick to the path.
Otherwise,
you'll get lost in here forever.
No! No, not that way!
? ?
now we have to start
all over again
from the beginning!
- Slink? Where'd everyone go?
- Gone.
Purged.
Flushed out.
Or, to put it
in blood drive parlance,
the building took a shit.
- Well,
let's quit dicking around
and blow this place
before we disappear too.
- Ah! There it is.
You want to make the building
go boom.
I was wondering what the hell
you guys were doing.
- Karma?
- Hey, sis.
Did you guys like what I did
with all the pussies
who worked here?
They were trying to leave.
Can you believe that?
Where's the corporate loyalty?
Little something
from the heart lab.
Can't wait to show you
what else
we've been developing.
- Karma, stop it right now.
Just come out.
We can talk.
- Is anybody else wondering
how this is possible?
'Cause I saw her go in
a blood engine with my own eyes.
- Surprise!
The blood engines,
they're prototype
soul reclamators.
But without a soul,
she would've spun
right through the vortex
and landed right back here
without a scratch.
I underestimated
your assistant.
Here I thought I was finally
done with her fuckery.
Now! Follow closely this time.
? ?
- she's the head of the snake.
- She's still my sister.
- Not anymore.
If Karma's in charge,
all the more reason
to bring this building down.
- You know I can hear
everything you're saying,
right?
- She was so innocent.
- Tell that
to all the people she killed.
- Hello? Hi.
Remember me?
We need to go.
- What if I had given up on you
when you went homicidal?
- Barbie? Hey, is it okay
if I call you Barbie?
I really hope you're not getting
too attached to her.
Grace likes to get rid of things
when she's done using them.
- Fuck off!
- Ooh!
She sounds upset.
You know, when I died,
I wasn't such a fucking brat
about it.
Now, let's go!
? ?
- let's not let her
get under our skin.
? ?
- so, guys...
What's the plan
after the big climax?
A nice epilogue scene?
Maybe start a new adventure
together?
- I'll settle for gettin' you
to shut up.
- Ooh. So angry all the time.
[Chuckles]
I bet grace likes that.
She loves dangerous guys.
And a few girls.
- Guys, girls--
doesn't matter.
None were me.
I don't care
if this is the corporate
headquarters of hell.
We're gonna bring
this building down,
and there's nothing you can do
to stop us.
- [Snickers]
Wanna bet, bitches?
- Christopher,
why did you ask for this?
These modifications
are dangerous.
Please talk to me.
? ?
don't leave me here alone.
- [Groaning]
- Yes.
Come back.
Wh-what have they done to you?
- [Groaning]
- I'm so sorry.
We have to leave
this horrible place
and never come back.
I can't stand thinking
what I did to you in here.
- [Groans]
- If we're going outside,
we're gonna need supplies.
Every city's in chaos now.
? ?
I'll be back.
? ?
[ominous music]
? ?
- where did you go?
- One thing about heart,
they're cheap bastards.
These stairs are only used
by the aki units.
There's no cameras
or microphones.
Should have cost 3 million.
Instead,
they only spent 1.4.
Don't want to waste
expensive tech
on their slave labor.
Bright side is,
Karma can't see or hear us.
- How do you know for sure?
- Well, i-i used to be
a janitor
here for a short while--
it's amazing what you'll find
in executives' garbage.
For instance, the central beam
that holds this whole place
together--
that comes down,
the whole building
comes down with it.
- How do I find Karma?
- Well, she used to haunt
the boardroom on the top floor.
- And where's the central beam?
- [Giddily]
In the basement.
- She'd kill you
without thinking twice.
- Doesn't mean
i have to do the same.
- [Quickly]
Ticktock. Ticktock. Ticktock.
- We came all this way
and made a plan.
You want to throw all that away?
I'll help.
- I want to save her.
- No, no, no,
no, no, no-no, no--
- shut the fuck up, slink!
Okay.
Better get going.
- Boy, she gives you anal
on the first date,
and now she's got you wrapped
around her little finger.
- Watch your mouth,
or we'll be meeting
your next clone.
[Dramatic music]
[Slink rustling]
? ?
- you want to play...
Primo? Fine.
If we're not on the same side,
let's... see who wins.
[Device whirs]
How does 30 minutes sound?
Heart will be destroyed...
Whether you're in this building
or not.
[Quickly]
Ready? Set? Go!
? ?
- what's wrong?
- When our parents died,
I tried my best.
I didn't ever want
to raise Karma.
Guess she saw through
the bullshit.
- Despite
everything that's happened,
I know how much you love Karma.
- Yeah, and somehow,
I'm still the reason
we're all in this mess.
- You're not responsible.
You didn't create heart.
- I'm not talking about heart.
I'm talking about myself.
What if she was right?
What if everything she said
was true,
and what if I can't care
about anybody other than myself?
What?
You're not gonna say anything?
- I don't care.
- What is that supposed to mean?
- Even if Karma was right,
which she wasn't,
I don't care.
You saw something in me
i couldn't see in myself.
I want to do you
the same courtesy.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
Now, let's go save your sister
and get the hell out of here.
- I give them fame, fortune,
make them look sexy--
what do I get?
Aggravation.
How utterly ungrateful.
- Help!
[Coughs]
Someone, please.
I'm hurt bad!
She went crazy, man.
She broke into our lab.
Sh-she took everything.
Stuff
we-we haven't even tested yet.
- Who? Karma?
She didn't leave any aki units
running around down here,
did she?
They can be... quite pesky.
- No, no,
she-she shut everything down,
all-all the programs.
- What do you mean?
What do you mean,
all the programs?
Even the Antigua research lab?
- That's classified.
- But you have access?
Get me access to that room,
and I swear I will avenge you.
I'll make her pay
for all that she's done:
Destroying the labs,
for killing all the employees,
for cutting you in half.
- She cut me in half?
Jesus!
Fuck! My legs!
[Whimpering]
My legs!
My fucking legs!
Oh, Jesus!
Call me an ambulance?
Hello?
[Intense music]
[Device whines]
? ?
- as soon as we open this door,
we're back on the grid.
She'll know we're here
and probably doesn't want
to be saved.
? ?
I guess slink was wrong
about something for once.
- Bye, Barbie.
[Energy pulsing]
- Arthur!
- Good. Now we can finally talk
in private.
- What are you doing?
Dad's gonna kill you.
- Dad already tried.
- Wait. Please don't go.
- Look, kid, I just need
to blow off some steam, okay?
I'll be back.
- What if he wakes up?
- After ten beers?
? ?
[engine turning over]
? ?
- any t-swift in here?
- Who?
? ?
this... is music.
[april wine's "just between
you and me" playing]
? ?
- ? time and time again ?
- can I take a turn?
- Smoking? No way.
- Gross. No.
Driving.
- Even worse!
- Please?
The car's named after me.
- Karma,
the car was here before you.
Think about it.
- This feels good.
It feels like freedom.
- I wonder what dad would do
if we never came back.
- ? Baby,
I know our love will be ?
[window handle squeaking]
? Just between you and me ?
? always I know ?
- hey!
That was my last one.
[Both grunting]
[Intense music]
? ?
[blade shimmers]
? ?
are you fucking kidding me?
I don't believe it.
Grace d'argento
is actually in love.
He must have a magical dick.
[Panting]
A blood engine
couldn't kill me.
What makes you think
this thing would?
- I really don't give a shit
what you think anymore.
- So what's the plan, Gracie?
You gonna kill me? Again?
Or let me guess.
Try to reform me.
You want me to change my mind.
Be a good person.
But you bring nothing else
to the table.
At least
this company sees my value.
- You destroyed
everything I ever loved.
Including yourself.
- I guess it's Karma.
? ?
- yeah. Well.
Karma's a bitch.
- [Sighs]
Son of a bitch.
- [Grunts]
? ?
Arthur...
Arthur!

Arthur?
Hello?
[Walls squish]
? ?
[lock beeps, latch shuffles]
- Hey, Julian!
How's it going, buddy?
Sort of burned up
all your clones.
Sorry about that.
Had to do it.
You might be the only thing
that could really threaten
the company.
- And yet, here I am.
- Yes... and no.
You are the last of your kind.
There will never be
another one, ever.
I made sure of it.
You know, it wasn't easy
figuring out
what would hurt you,
but then it hit me:
You've never been afraid
to die.
So... here's the news.
You can either bring down
the central beam
and destroy the building,
but you'll kill yourself
in the process--
really kill yourself--
or you can just walk out
the front door
without getting your revenge.
But you can't do both.
You have to choose.
- To be or not to be...
That is the question.
? ?
? ?
- we have to move fast.
They're gonna blow us up.
? ?
- no.
[Groans]
I'm sorry.
The rainbows, I...
- Right.
Hey, um...
You happen to see a...
A guy come by here?
He wears a top hat.
Deep voice.
Kind of looks like a magician.
- The walls are alive.
All of the whispers,
they-they see 'em moving.
- [Gently]
Sure they are.
Yeah, sure they are.
I have to find this guy.
I have to stop him
from blowing the central beam,
or he'll kill grace.
That way?
- [Groans]
- That way? Okay.
Thanks, I owe you one, buddy.
Hey, I'll get somebody back here
asap for you.
You're gonna-you're gonna
be fine!
[Panting]
? ?
oh, shit.
[Footsteps approaching slowly]
? ?
Christopher!
You're--
[Gasps]
- Hey... partner.
[Rock music playing]
? ?
- yo, man.
Yo!
Where's your lady?
Thought we were double-dating.
- She's not coming.
Said she wasn't feeling well.
The three of us
can still eat, though.
Unless... no, I'd be--
i don't want to--
- just hold on.
Just hold on.
- No, no, no.
- Just hold on.
I'm sorry, babe.
Can we meet back at your place?
- Who says you're even
coming back to my place?
- [Chuckling]
- Okay. Your call.
- Don't be too long.
[Chuckles]
? ?
- you didn't have to do that.
- Where is she for real?
- She left.
Said she doesn't want
to marry a cop.
- Forget her.
If she don't see the real you,
you don't want her.
- Still sucks, though.
- Of course it does.
But as my grandmama
used to say,
women are like buses--
always another one to ride.
- Didn't know
your grandmama was a feminist.
- [Chuckles]
- Pentecostal feminist.
Used to beat my ass
to kirk Franklin.
Let's get drunk.
- What about your girl?
- Ah.
I'd rather hang with you.
- [Yells]
? ?
- ain't that a motherfucker?
Me being all tech and awesome?
And you still being a skin sack?
- Christopher.
You're making a mistake.
- My only mistake
was being your partner.
You haven't even asked
why I'm kicking your ass.
[Both grunting]
- You're not kicking my ass.
- 'Cause there's no iron
in your bones.
Guilt makes you weak.
- [Groans]
Okay.
I've been looking for you.
I've been trying
to shut this company down.
[Implants whining]
[Metal clangs]
- I watched you kill me.
Repeatedly.
[Elevator bell dings]
- It wasn't you.
It was a robot, obviously.
[Yells, grunts]
- You didn't know that
at the time.
- ? I'm a yankee-doodle dandy ?
? yankee-doodle, do... ?
or die.
? ?
[exhales noisily]
? ?
[device whines]
- [Whistling]
- Good evening!
Gentlemen, I'm Julian slink.
So pleased
to make your acquaintance.
Before we can proceed
any further,
I shall require
the proper dress:
Not quite steampunk,
but not quite retro;
homemade colors,
preferably not from nature;
boots made from calf skin;
underwear, sometimes;
shirts from persia,
silk or panda wool;
and finally,
something dramatic on top,
some flair, a bowler--
no, no!--A top hat.
Yes, a top hat.
Perfect.
- [Groans]
He talks too much.
That's the third nurse
they killed this week.
- Why do they want
3,000 of 'em?
- Should've focused
on my design.
It's much better.
Robotic. Obedient.
- I thought
you were two weeks behind.
- Managed to merge the code.
Had to leave a little bio
inside,
but not worried about it.
- That's dangerous.
She-she manages to access
that code,
she could unlock her humanity.
- Never gonna happen.
Not unless she figures out
how to have an orgasm.
[Both laugh]
[Device whines]
- To die, to sleep.
To sleep, perchance to dream.
Ay, but there's the rub;
for in that sleep of death,
what dreams may come
when we've shuffled off
this mortal coil.
- I never understood that.
Until now.
- I thought all the aki units
had been shut down.
- I'm not an aki unit anymore.
I'm just aki.
I am.
- Ah... consciousness.
Humanity.
How unfortunate for you.
- You've lived, haven't you?
- I have lived thousands
of lives, my dear.
- Then you know.
- Know what?
- Why I have to do this.
- [Grunts]
Fucking hell.
- Guess I'm not fully human yet.
I still have some strength left.
I can't let you
bring down the building, Julian.
You'll kill Christopher.
Where's your compassion?
- Please.
Just because you're human
doesn't mean you're good.
- That's not true.
I have real feelings now.
I'm a person.
- [Laughs]
Big deal.
You got tingles
in all your dangly bits
and a knot in your stomach
from all the terrible things
you've done to him.
But that's not empathy.
That's guilt.
It's a waste of your time.
[Suspenseful music]
- Tell me
where Christopher went.
I don't have access
to the security cameras anymore.
- I can't.
[Gulps]
- Then what use are you to me?
- [Gasps]
? ?
ah, ah, ah!
You tamper with those bombs,
I'll override the timer.
We can all go,
right here, right now,
including
your precious Christopher.
[Bomb ticking]
You better go find him.
You only have
a few minutes left.
- I've just severed
your spinal cord.
? ?
you're going to die
in this building,
Julian slink.
[Bomb ticking]
[Both grunting]
[Elevator bell dings]
? ?
- you left me to rot
in this place.
But look at me now.
- What do you mean, this place?
I thought you were back in la.
[Groans]
- This basement is infinite.
Can you wrap that turd
you call a brain around that?
It's connected to every single
heart building in the world.
You can't imagine
the power of this place.
- Oh, yes, I can.
[Electricity sizzling]
[Both yelling]
? ?
wait, wait.
Wait.
Time-out.
Time-out.
[Yells]
? ?
what happened to your dick?
- Fuck!
- [Laughs]
? ?
you let her
make you more awesome,
but it cost you your dick.
What's the point of being
awesome if you can't screw?
Maybe you're not
the real Christopher after all.
Maybe I did kill you.
Maybe you're
the shitty piece of hardware
they used to replace you!
[Grunts]
- You're such a goddamn pussy.
All those years
i wasted listening
to your do-good bullshit
were a waste of time.
It was all an act.
You weren't a good guy.
You were just a coward.
[Grunting]
Gonna write about it
in your fuckin' book?
[Christopher whirs and hums]
Whine about it
like a little bitch.
I trusted you.
I looked up to you.
And now I'm gonna kill you.
- I got a better idea,
John deere.
Say hi to the fuckin' primo.
[Both yelling]
? ?
- primo fights like a girl.
[Grace yells]
[Christopher grunts]
Was that supposed to hurt me?
- No. But this will.
[Mellow music]
? ?
- I thought you were dead.
- Seems to happen a lot
around here.
- Do you want to take a minute?
- We don't have a minute.
- You sure?
He was your partner.
- That thing wasn't Christopher.
Not anymore.
Let's go.
- Better go find slink
and stop the countdown.
? ?
- [wheezing]
? ?
[bomb ticking]
- How do I turn this off?
- Can't.
It's called "fail-safe"
for a reason.
No take-backs.
No second chances.
- Then how do we get out
of here?
- Wish I could be there
for the big boom!
- Karma d'argento,
open this door right now!
- Sorry, sis.
It's the end of the road.
- If you're in this building,
you die too.
- I've got
a get out of jail free card
called the blood gate.
See you on the other side.
Not!
- Karma! Wait.
- Whaaat?
- You-you remember
that guy you liked?
Lucas?
He asked for my number.
- Go to hell, you fucking bi--
- [grunts]
- It's a sliding door, Arthur.
- You got any better ideas?
? ?
- [chuckles]
? ?
so I guess this is it.
? ?
- no lollipop?
- Death calls for
something stronger.
? ?
? ?
- wait, fuck this.
Heart took
every happy thing we ever had.
I'm not letting him take
what's left.
[Grunts]
- What are you doing?
? ?
it needs a charge to detonate,
you know.
- I know.
Little trick
the scholar taught me.
[Device whines]
? ?
whatever you do...
Don't come near me.
- Arthur, no!
- [Grunts]
- Holy shit.
You did it.
It worked.
- [Stammering indistinctly]
What's... wrong?
- Twenty seconds left.
- Grace.
Probably won't believe me,
but I never wanted this
to end a tragedy.
I was actually hoping
that you two might just make it
in the end.
- Ten. Nine.
Eight. Seven.
Six. Five.
Four. Three.
Two. One.
Guys?
Hey, guys?
My bad.
- You asshole!
- Yeah, actually...
I need to hit this little button
right here.
Oops!
[Timer chirping]
- You asshole.
- Asshole!
- Please. Just because
I'm rooting for you two
doesn't mean
i have to suck all the tension
out of the ending.
There's a pipe.
Green stripes every 30 feet.
Follow it.
It'll be the fastest way out.
Arthur.
- What?
- All those...
People I killed...
This is what they felt like?
- Yes.
[Bomb ticking]
- Oh... my.
I wish I had my hat.
[Dramatic music]
? ?
[blade shimmers]
[Grace grunting]
? ?
[gore squishes]
? ?
- okay. Let me see.
Let me look at it.
Oh, god.
Stay with me.
- Almost.
- You're gonna be fine.
It's not that bad.
Listen, I'll get some help.
- There's no help.
This building won't even be here
in ten seconds.
What you really need
is one of these.
[Material crackling]
[Arthur yells]
[Karma grunts]
? ?
- oh, we can play
all day, Barbie.
I can just open up another one
over here.
Dick hole.
[Grunts]
- Okay. Okay.
Let's get you to your feet.
Let's go.
- There's no time.
- Grace.
- There's no time.
- Slink was probably bluffing.
- He was dying.
That's normally when people
start taking things seriously.
- Ten. Nine.
Eight. Seven.
Six. Five.
- At least we had each other.
- Four. Three.
- Even for a few seconds.
- Two.
One.
- Boom.
Ladies and gentlemen,
bastards and tramps,
bloodsuckers, motherfuckers...
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Road trash, and vamps.
- Let's go.
