The Breathing Door

You okay, buddy? I know that was scary. You're a big boy. Daddy, are Mrs. Clean and Bobby okay? I believe they are okay. Believe it with me. [rumbling] [glass shattering] Eli, this is Ms. Vera, she's my... I'm Vera. I'm Daddy's lady. Are you my lady? You're my little man. Hit it. [clack] [elevator whirring] We might want to get in the elevator. I don't know. This building looks like it's falling down. Do you trust me? [exhales] You're the craziest lady I've ever met, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Of course, I trust you. Heck, I'm head over heels for you. Slow down, lover boy. Come on, lady. Easy, not that easy. You still got to woo me. [elevator whirring] Oh, that's interesting. Don't look now, your doppelglobber just spawned. Eli, can you press the second floor? Two. T-W-O. [elevator whirring] [Eli laughing] [panting] [gasps] Daddy, that door is breathing. Don't touch it, son. Stand back. I'm blowing off the door. [gunshots] [growls] [explosion] Daddy, it's like a castle. [panting] [chewing] It's hot, Daddy. It's really hot. Can't be mad at him. I'll go check for a pantry. Bradley, someone just moved upstairs. [gun cocking] [footsteps approaching] Don't move. Someone's coming down. Eli, get off the chair, now. Daddy, there's a man up there. [footsteps] Stay where you are. Hands where I see them. Vera, the pantry door just moved. Daddy, he's got really shiny shoes. [door creaking] [thud] 11 bullets left in that rifle, Ms. Solis. Funny, I only need one. One, two, three, four. He has ten fingers, same as me. [exhales] [gun cocking] You were unit seven. You were supposed to be dead. Dead is a classification, Ms. Solis. I reclassified. There's a lobster in there. It's walking. [water sloshing] I didn't collapse the network, Ms. Solis. I built what replaced it. You built the AI. You gave it the kill codes. [rumbling] It has claws. It waved at me. How was I supposed to know they'd rationalize humans were the problem? Why shouldn't I kill you right now? Because that boy has seen enough trauma, and we want the same thing, both of us. Destroy the robots. [gunshot] [glass shattering] That is a dead man. That is categorically a dead man standing in this building. Peaches, we can talk about that later. Dax is back from the dead. [thudding] Bradley, it's okay. We're on the same side. [footsteps] Oh, now we're fraternizing with the enemy. Enemy of my enemy. Put the guns down, both of you. [suspenseful music]
