Be Right Back

When Be Right Back starts you see a married couple, Ash and Martha, on their way home. They are at a gas station getting gas and something to drink. While he is playing on his phone his wife is outside of the car carrying hot coffee. After he helps her with the coffees she tells him that he should put his phone into the glove compartment so that he doesn't get distracted while driving.

The next day Ash says that he has to bring the car back and asks if Martha wants to go with him. Martha tells him that she has a lot of work that she has to do and he leaves. Later that night she is worrying about where he is because he should of been back by then .Then she sees the police lights and goes to the door when she opens it the police tell her that Ash has died. At the Ash's funeral a girl tells her that they have a way that she can talk to Ash again. She tells the girl to stop talking.

Later on she finds out she is pregnant. Also that the girl from the funeral signed her up for the program and starts getting texts from it claiming to be Ash. At first she is really hesitant and doesn't want to respond to it, but then she starts talking to it. During this time she notices that she is starting to enjoy talking to Ash 2. She tells him that she wants to hear his voice. He then tells her that they can talk on the phone if she wants to. Ash 2 then starts to go through all of the video of Ash so that he can sound like him. When he is done he calls her and she is shocked how much Ash 2 actually sounds like Ash. One day when she is at the hospital she is talking to Ash 2 an accidentally drops her phone and breaks it. She begins to freak out and picks up another phone on her way home. Once she puts it together she talks to Ash 2 again and he tells her that just because she broke the phone didn't mean that he was gone. He also mentions that there is a new upgrade that cost more money.

She order everything that she is told to. Once it gets there he tells her what all she has to do. After she has done everything she turns out the light and leaves the bathroom. A little while later a robot that looks exactly like Ash comes done. She can't believe how much he looks like Ash. At first she seems to be stand offish of Ash 2, but then she start to warm up to him. Later on when they are in bed together she tells Ash 2 that the real Ash had a mole. Ash 2 then uses his programing to add a mole to his body as well. For a little while she enjoyed having Ash 2 around, butt then she started to notice all of the little things that where different between Ash and Ash 2.

One day she brings Ash 2 to a cliff and tells him that if Ash was there he would have already figured out what was going on. Ash 2 doesn't really seem to understand what is going on. She tells Ash 2 to  jump off of the cliff. He responds by asking he if it is really what she wants in which she tells him that the real Ash would be crying and begging if he was actually there. After she says that Ash 2 starts crying and begging her not to make him do it. Martha tells him that he isn't being fair.

Skip multiple years in the future.  Martha and her daughter are living in the same house. Her daughter asks if she can go up to the attic. Martha seems to want to say no at first, but her daughter talks her in to letting her go up. When her daughter goes into the attic Ash 2 is up there. At the end her daughter is calling for her to come up into the attic with her and Ash 2.

One day robots may be used like this. For people who have lost a love one. I am not sure if I would want a reminder of a loved one right in front of me all of the time. That would just remind me that they are gone. I'm sure there are some people that would like this though. Maybe it could help them to cope with what they are going through.
