"Dr Easy is a medical android sent to help a wounded man with a gun who is holed up in a building surrounded by armed police. Dr Easy can sense fear and seems to have infinite access to all points of the mans life from his ex-wife to his income, all used to both give us information and try to calm the man down, who does speak due to a gunshot wound of the mouth.
The monotone speech of the robot stating 'do not end it, think of you son' is both darkly comical and horrifying, the disconnect from humanity no more evident than in that moment.
Yet it does hint at care - a call to not send in the police due to his current state and a lingering final shot of the robot, still and silent in almost quiet reflection and regret is both telling and pondering"
