The Whole Shebang
The city of Las Vegas in the distance through the desert, a dark haired, goateed man, Hugo Mora, stops by the window overlooking the vista, finishing his coffee. Well dressed he moves on through his stylish, modern house, full of clean lines, obviously quite wealthy. Heading into his dressing room off the bedroom, he puts on the jacket of his expensive suit, and from in front of a range of Rolex and other expensive watches, picks up and loads a handgun, holsters it and heads out to his car. Driving along the banks of the Colorado River he arrives in to a heavily guarded office, overlooking the Hoover Dam, where four men, equally well dressed, are in situ. The eldest of them, his father Mr. Mora looks up from a clear glass tablet and hands it to Hugo with a sigh, Hugo moving to peruse the information on it. After a moment he comments to the group that he doesn't like it. "His businesses are legitimate", he says of an, as yet, unknown man, and wonders why he would need them. Indicating that theirs are not, this is a Cartel, and the Hoover Dam is now clearly in the private hands of the Cartel. Mr. Mora replies, in Spanish, that no one with that much money is without sin. Hugo notes that 'he' has been buying most of the old city and the outlying area using holding companies. Worthless land, and he doesn't understand what he's doing. His father however is less conflicted, telling Hugo 'his' money is the same as everyone else's. Putting aside his qualms, Hugo goes to meet the incoming Delos eVTOL aircraft Out of which steps a black suited William. William greets Hugo, there with a number of armed guards, with a handshake, Hugo pleasantly responding, before asking if William has seen the Hoover Dam before. Once, William recalls, when he was a kid on a road trip with his parents. Hugo offers to show him around and takes him on a tour of the facility. Inside he shows William the turbines which he says have been upgraded, they can now last 100 years without maintenance. All to power what William is there for, Hugo showing him a massive Data Cascade, hundreds of massive servers. William tells him they are looking for 'resilience', that 'our' timeline is more ambitious than most. Hugo points out that data has always been 'fungible', temporary, but they offer a unique proposition, if William invests his data with them it will be written in stone. Forever. But William feels that 'forever' is always a little bit longer than people expect. Riding to the top of the Dam, emerging from the elevator, they pass a floor fresco that bears a resemblance to The Maze, as Hugo asks him how much of their platform Delos is looking to reserve, and is a little startled when William replies "All of it." Off Hugo's query, William explains that what he wants is "Already in there", that it was stolen from him from one of his facilities 8 years previously. And he knows the Cartel was paid handsomely to store it. Hugo suggests he talks to the person who stole it. William telling him he can't, "She's dead." Which means he can't decrypt it and no one else can. As he talks it becomes clear that he's talking about Dolores, who in Westworld (in Season2) stole both the data from the Forge, and transferred the Sublime data sending it to this facility 8 years previously. Before she 'died' at the hands of Serac, a year later (Season 3). This being 7 years on from that, meaning that this William is the Host Copy created by Charlotte Hale, and acting as CEO of Delos.. He informs Hugo that he doesn't want the data moved or disturbed, so he will take the entire facility. Hugo contains his amusement, saying the Dam facility is a unique asset, it's not for sale. William reaching into his jacket pocket pulls out a small tablet, handing him his very substantial offer, remarking "This is America, everything's for sale." As they overlook the Dam, Hugo tells him they know what he's been doing, no one sells land in the area without their approval. They've been happy to sell, he tells William, but he can't have the facility. William chuckles asking if Hugo ever heard the story about the Missionary who tried to negotiate with a Tiger, telling it, it could eat most of him but had to stop when it got to his head. Turning serious he tells Hugo the Cartel sells him the facility today. Or? Hugo waits, unperturbed. "Or you give it to me for nothing," William shrugs. "Tomorrow." Hugo responds by recounting how they weren't very welcome when they first arrived, having to accept whatever the old timers offered. And they buried most of them at the bottom of the lake. He tells William they will defend themselves and their business 'aggressively'. "Door Number Two, then," William smiles, saying he'll see him tomorrow before leaving.
Door Number 2
Hugo returns home, and enters his bedroom, taking off his jacket, before heading towards the door that leads to his dressing room. As he does, the sensor picks up his approach and pre-emptively lights up the room, and the glass doorway, highlighting a number of flies crawling on the inside of it. Pausing for a moment to look at them, Hugo shrugs it off and enters, putting down his gun only to see more flies crawling on the cabinets in front of him, brushing them away or killing them. As he looks he sees yet more flies crawling along the light fittings, which, one of which when he reaches out to them, crawls onto his hand. Looking behind him he sees yet more flying around the place, and moving further in looks up to see a massive swarm of them on the rear wall and ceiling of the dressing room, the buzzing growing louder as more of them start to fly around him. Everything going black. The next morning a single fly buzzes around Hugo as he lies unconscious of the floor of the dressing room, before he awakes with a start. Pulling himself up, he takes a moment to settle himself, before he returns to the Dam and the office where Mr. Mora and the other heads of the Cartel are situated. The armed guard ushering him in. Looking a little disheveled and disorientated after his experience he approaches his father's desk. Mr. Mora taking him in before asking what William said? Hugo replies that yesterday he would have paid, but today they will give it to him for nothing. Mr. Mora and his cohorts stare and then start to laugh derisorily, Hugo trying to join in before he pulls a stiletto from inside his shirt and rams it into his father's throat. A short while later, he staggers around the top of the Dam, stopping as he comes face to face with the waiting William. The tablet transferring ownership of the Deed to William in one hand, the bloodstained knife he's used to kill his colleagues in the other, Hugo makes his way towards him. William holds his hand out to the blood covered man, and thanks him for the deed to the facility. Shakily, Hugo asks him if his work is down. William confirming that it is, and he can rest now. As William walks away, Hugo reaches up and slices his own throat, killing himself.
Christina's World
In a morning sunlit room a young woman sleeps peacefully in her bed. A woman, Christina, who, despite her brunette hair, looks exactly like Dolores Abernathy. Waking, she stretches and rises, her bedroom a stylish modernized room, with contemporary features like self fogging windows, Air Con and Wardrobes sleekly inbuilt into the walls, sat alongside Victorian features like the fireplace, and exposed brickwork. In the corner by the window stands an easel with a painting in progress, her painting supplies sitting on the window sill nearby. On pressing a button her Murphy Bed smoothly rises to reveal a full length lit mirror, in which she examines herself. After dressing she heads into the apartment's living room, where she's greeted by her roommate, Maya. Pausing in her making the coffee, Maya tells Christina, she has a dilemma, and moves to pick up two sets of pumps, white like the outfit she's wearing, or black in contrast. Holding them up she asks Christina which she would choose...white or black? The moment strangely reminiscent of the choice guests had on entering Westworld. Maya prompting her with "Pick a side, Chrissy," when Christina procrastinates on an answer. Christina finally pointing to the white. As Maya puts on the chosen white shoes she asks Christina what she's wearing that night. Christina suggesting, what she's wearing now? Maya gives her outfit a pass, saying she looks great unlike the bags under her own eyes. As Christina goes to water their plants, Maya replies "Nightmares." She suggests she'd should have taken a 'Tab' for it, but just kept tossing and turning. Watering the plants, Christina is distracted by the sound of her phone going off, looking down at it with some apprehension. Picking it up the phone lists a dozen missed calls from an Unknown Caller. Maya asking her if it is 'That Weirdo' again, Christina tells her she blocked him but somehow he keeps getting through. Maya brushes it off as just some creep or a 'bot' trying to sell her a privacy subscription. Christina tries to agree but checks out the window nervously all the same, saying lately she feels as if someone is watching her. "No offence," Maya replies "But how?!" she goes on to outline how Christina never leaves the apartment except to go to work. Which is why she is going out tonight with her, Maya having set her up on a blind date with someone who is 'supposed to be a really nice guy' whose profile is 'platinum rated'. Christina's wince speaks volumes. Set ups are just so awkward she maintains, "So is dying alone," Maya calls after her before saying "You cannot hide from the World forever, Christina." Reluctantly agreeing, Christina heads off for work. Walking out onto the bustling street outside, Christina and Maya's apartment is revealed to be on 59th Street in New York City. Lined by unusually shaped street lights, electric driverless taxis move down the roads while eVTOL aircraft fly among the skyscrapers. As she walks up the steps to Manhattans 'High Line' three young men come rushing down, chattering excitedly, 2 of them commenting about how something is "F***in' wild!" and that they can't believe it's the 'first time' for one of their number. Christina watches them head down as they say they're going to take the guy to someplace that's 'gonna blow your mind'. Walking on she passes a homeless man, who appears to have mental issues, asking every passer by "Can you see it? It's looming over us." holding a crude charcoal drawing of a structure on an old piece of cardboard.
•Auguries, as related to the title of the episode 'The Auguries', means a sign of what will happen in the future; an omen. Augurs in Ancient Rome would read observe and interpret the signs (auspices) of approval or disapproval sent by the gods in reference to any proposed undertaking.
•The name of the character Christina, apart from having 'Christ' like resurrections connotations, is most likely drawn from Westworld Creators Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan drawing inspiration for the character of Dolores from the 1948 painting Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth.
•The painting in Christina's room, displays 59th Street where she lives done in the perspective of Vanishing Point, where receding parallel lines diminish to converge on the horizon. In this case the two sides of the street converging, affording a three-dimensional look. Notably Vanishing Point is also the title of the Season 2 episode in which Teddy last appeared.
•Caleb reads to Frankie from My Father's Dragon a 1948 children's novel by Ruth Stiles Gannett, about a young boy, who runs away to Wild Island to rescue a baby dragon. Written by the author with her father as the central character.
•After Maeve kills Walter, she slides her katana under her arm. When she bends to hand Frankie back Bear Bear the sword is sheathed back in it's hilt on her back. She's then seen pulling Walter's body out of sight, and the bloody katana is back under her arm again, which she 'then' sheathes.
