Don't Look Deeper (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Testing - full transcript
Rylium sends Abel to retrieve their faulty "emBed". Aisha tests Martin to try and find out what he knows. An overwhelmed Martin consults Sharon about a "plan B".
MAN: Abel.
Sending me on the Jet.
Must be serious.
My brother can't have the precious
moneymakers malfunctioning.
Merced Magnet School, clean it up.
I have an aunt who lives
30 minutes east of Merced.
Took me to a Vietnamese restaurant once.
Fantastic pho, terrific.
He's not gonna have time for pho.
No?
Probably no pho.
Okay.
Half power to stun, full power to fry.
You've outdone yourself.
Keep it away from kids and animals.
I'll do my best.

Aisha?
Hey.
What happened, honey? What happened?
I... I got a little lightheaded.
She passed out. I saw it
happen from across the street.
MARTIN: Oh, did... did you hit
your head or anything, babe?
No. I'm fine.
- You're fine. Okay, here, okay.
- Oh, no.
- I think you should call an ambulance.
- She's fine, all right?
- Please.
- Who are you? Are you her father?
Who are you? Back off, okay?
- Just... we got it, all right?
- WOMAN: Oh, my God.
- Is this yours?
- I got it.
- Okay.
- WOMAN: Wow.
Here, let me... let me
take this for you, okay?
W... we're fine. We'll
take it from here.
Come on, babe. Come on.
Um...
maybe I should go to the hospital.
I don't... I don't know
if that's necessary, baby.
What if I have a concussion?
You said you didn't
hit your head, right?
- Right.
- Okay.
Well, then let's just
get you home, okay?
I think you probably just have
low blood sugar or something.
And we'll get some food and water
in you. I'll order from Yang's, okay?
You know I don't like Chinese.
No... yeah. No, La... La
Cabaña, La Cabaña, Mexican.
Okay, just sit back.
Put your seat belt on.
You're gonna be all right.

MISS HART: No Aisha?
Uh, I haven't seen her today.
I'll call the office.
MARTIN: Okay, well,
you're looking better,
so, look, why don't you go
on in and, um, order the food?
And I... I've got to... I've got
to get back to this faculty meeting.
Uh, and I'll see you later, okay?
Okay.

- Want some coffee?
- No.
Look, y... you could've at least told me
that you made her stop
liking Chinese food.
I didn't.
Maybe she was testing you.
She's hacking her own system.
- Well, that's new.
- Yeah, but not unexpected.
It was only a matter of
time before she adapted.
I'll wipe, archive, and reinstall.
Jesus.
Hey, you know, I...
I... I... I have to keep a damn journal,
you know, just to... just to keep track
of what reality we're living in, Sharon.
Sharon, Sharon, listen... [STAMMERS]
We can't keep doing
this. It's not right.
We've taken so much
of her life from her.
Okay, there is no choice.
If she becomes aware...
it's only a matter of time
before they become aware.
And if they become aware, they
know she's here and not in a box...
They'll come for her, I... I know.
