After nearly losing her daughter, a mother invests in new technology that allows her to keep track of her. - Marie - Sara

I can’t believe I couldn’t do it.

I couldn’t push anymore. - I won’t tell any body

if you want to hold my hand. - What is it?

What’s…

[doctors keep muttering]

-Say she’s OK. -[nurse] Hey, hey, hey. It’s OK. - -[sobs] Is she OK? -[nurse] Just relax. Hold on. OK?

-[dog barks]

-[Sara] Oh! No no.

[Sara] Mom.

Mommy’s looking for you!-Hey, it’s OK. Let’s find her…

Mommy’s looking for you!-Hey, it’s OK. Let’s find her.

She was down by the track.

Fallen down the slope.

-Said she… she followed a cat? -She followed a cat. I’m so sorry.

Do you have a recommendation,

so Sara will be part of our trial period.

-Well, it was tested, right?-Of course.

-I mean, she’s not, like, a guinea pig.

-It’s all fully tested, perfectly safe.

This is just us fine-tuning our

Subscription model before full launch.

We’re getting feedback on which features

Our customers use most in the real world. - Response so far is just incredible. The sense of security, peace of mind. I mean, the stories we’ve been hearing, they’re inspirational.

-So this is Sara’s current location,

which is here, of course. [Marie] Oh, look at that.

Now, if she ever goes missing, all you have to do is tap here, enter your PIN, and law enforcement is automatically notified. - -[woman] These are your lives.

Healthy heartbeat. - Oh, I see her iron levels are a little low. How is she eating? You might want to think about nutritional supplements. - This is what she’s seeing now? -… is what she sees and hears. - -Content limitations. If she witnesses something that causes her cortisol levels to rise, like stress, it can kind of paint out whatever’s triggering it. - -It’s all optional.

…and I remember when we used to open

the door and just let the kids be.

Mm. And I remember breaking my arm

because you wouldn’t get a baby gate.

And what does the arm look like now? - I raised you all right. You turned OK.

Took you a while, but you did. - [sighs] Grandpa’s gotta sit…

-Hey, Sara! One cookie. Bad for your teeth. - Uh, whatever you want. But I’d say brunette. - -I want…

-Hey, Sara! One cookie. Bad for your teeth. - Uh, whatever you want. But I’d say brunette. - -I want to know what you’re watching. Kids at school.

It’s parental advisory. You’re locked out. - You’re better off not seeing it. Wish I never did. What if I tell you what’s in it? That work?

Sara, what are you doing? - What’s happening in this picture?…

Sara, what are you doing? - What’s happening in this picture?

[doctor] Are they happy or… [Sara] They’re talking. [doctor] Just talking? [Sara] I don’t know what about.

So is this, like, an autism thing? The spectrum is wide, but in my opinion, she’s not on it.

But what about the pencils, like, self-harm? And these pictures are… [sighs]

The Arkangel never launched nationwide.

It was banned in Europe.

It’ll be pulled here, too, by the fall.

I did this to her.

You can’t remove the implant, but you can get rid of the parental unit.

The screen. Just throw it away. Problem solved. [tablet beeps] Filter off. Goodbye. - You’re gonna be on your own today. OK?

No Arkangel.

The system isn’t gonna be on. OK? So, no fuzzy pictures. And you won’t see me? [sighs] I won’t see you. But, you do not have to be afraid.

She turned the system off.

-This is porn. Like, people doing it.

They can’t make babies that way. -So this one’s got a hacksaw

and he’s gotta cut his own foot off.

-So, the terrorist guy… - -He’s gonna take his whole head off!

Adolescência - -You added something.

-Oh, it’s like a new kind of probiotic. -It keeps your stools firm. - When was the last time you went anywhere? - Hey, it’s Mom. All right, call me. - Fuck me harder. - You know, you didn’t have to talk like that. Like what? Like the porn stuff. - Maybe she got laid. -[laughs] Oh, please, that’s gross. - I’m not dumb. I know what you sell. - It’s not like I use that shit. Have you tried it? It’s for people who like to talk about

themselves all the time. - -I want to try some.

Just a little, just once.

Excuse me? Are you Ryan Tribecky?

-You stay away from my daughter. -Uh… I don’t know what– Sara. You know exactly what I’m talking about. You stay away. -OK, she’s– -She is 15, you junkie piece of shit. You want the cops in on this? -I didn’t do anything. -I will show them what you did. OK, you stay away from her, or I will show them this. OK? You still got that system? Yes, I have it. So whatever she sees, I see, and I am watching you -OK.

-So you stay away. OK, if she calls you, you hang up. If she comes to see you, you tell her to get away. -You just stay away from her. -I’ll stay away. -You stay the fuck away.

I can’t be with you. What the fuck? [Trick] I don’t want to be with you. I don’t want you, OK? You …

I can’t be with you. What the fuck? [Trick] I don’t want to be with you. I don’t want you, OK? You know what? Fuck you. - I had to run some tests, in case we had a noro outbreak here. Honey, it was the EC pill that made you sick. -EC? -Emergency contraception. For terminating your pregnancy. [scoffs] There’s no… There’s no pregnancy.

You watched me. - -You watched me with him.

-I… No, I didn’t mean to. - I was trying to protect you.

I was trying to keep you safe.

[Sara] How do you turn it off?

-Everything I’ve done, I’ve done for you. -[Marie] Honey, I love you—
