He rescues Bernard from some soldiers, unaware of Bernard's true nature, and takes him to Delos Head of Security [[Karl Strand]]. Stubbs tries to defend Bernard when Strand accuses of him of failing as Head of Behavior for the hosts, but is quickly reminded by Strand that as leader of the security force Delos suffered the single greatest loss of life under him. |

While approaching a location where the hosts supposedly are, the team is startled to find the rotting host corpse of a Bengal Tiger from [[The Raj|Park 6]]: Stubbs points out that they have never had hosts stray from their parks before. Continuing on, they discover an entire sea has emerged in the middle of the park, and floating in the water are the corpses of hundreds of hosts. |

He tells her about the protocol for guest evacuation, but she says she does not want to leave the park. After Grace breaks free from their captors, Stubbs is subdued and a knife is placed on his throat. The wielder, [[Akecheta]], whispers in his ear (in English, whereas they had previously only spoke in Lakota), "You live only as long as the last person who remembers you." After a dramatic movement of the knife, Stubbs suddenly finds himself alone, but alive. |

Stubbs reacts in disbelief that she is only now calling for an extraction team, but Charlotte explains that Delos would not send for help until Abernathy was safe. Stubbs helps Hale and some technicians restrain Abernathy in the [[Behavior Lab and Diagnostics]] area, but reacts with horror when they decide to nail him to the operating table. |

| − | In the present, Stubbs pulls Bernard aside and warns him that the Delos team is more interested in extracting their data than rescuing people and suggests they make their escape, to which Bernard agrees. On their way out, however, they are stopped by Strand, who thinks one of them has the key that motivated them to kill Theresa Cullen: Stubbs is surprised, as to his knowledge Cullen had died in the park. They are taken to a Remote Diagnostic Facility where Cullen was killed, and Strand threatens to kill Stubbs, thinking he must be the one that killed Cullen. Just as Bernard tries to stop Strand, they are interrupted by one of the soldiers finding a locked door. Entering it, they discover numerous Bernard hosts, revealing Bernard's true identity to everyone. Stubbs later watches as Bernard is tortured by Hale through simulated waterboarding, which he is clearly disturbed by. After Bernard's information is extracted, Stubbs joins the group heading for the Valley Beyond. |

Hale ignores him. |

Hearing the carnage going on nearby, Stubbs loses his patience and pulls a gun on Abernathy, once again demanding to know what is in Abernathy's head. Hale starts to explain he has an encryption key that they need, but they are interrupted by the arrival of Dolores and Teddy, who holds back Stubbs as Dolores confronts Hale. Stubbs listens in as the hosts destroy the Cradle and protests as he sees Dolores about to torture Hale, but they are momentarily distracted by Abernathy recognizing Dolores and Teddy leaving to deal with some nearby gunfire. Stubbs seizes the distraction and helps Hale escape into an elevator. |

Stubbs replies that they must be the remaining guests and requests boats and some soldiers to help rescue them, but Strand refuses as he is not there for the guests. Hale interrupts and grants Stubbs permission, though she adds that they should go on-foot. Stubbs leaves. |

| − | Later, Stubbs oversees the rescue and departure of the remaining guests, only to see Charlotte Hale (now revealed to the audience as Dolores since before Stubbs and Bernard met up with her in the Hub in "[[Virtù e Fortuna]]") approaching the line. He confronts her, noting he thought she was working on retrieving Delos's information, to which she replies she has business on the main land. Pausing for a moment, Stubbs cryptically tells her that he has been working at the park "for a very long time" and he does not really trust Hale or Delos because his loyalty has always been to Ford. Essentially, it has been his "core drive." He then leans in and emphasizes that, with Ford gone, his duty has always been to protect the hosts in the park, hinting that he knows more about her than he has been letting on. He then lets her through the security. |

–Ashley to Dolores Abernathy, "The Passenger" | ||
Ashley Stubbs is a main character in the sci-fi western TV series, Westworld. He is the Head of the Westworld QA Security Force and most often found in the Control Room. Though distrusful of Hosts, in the Second Season Finale it is heavily implied that he is actually one of them, built by Robert Ford. Stubbs is played by Luke Hemsworth.
Biography
Background
Stubbs is Westworld's Head of Security, in the Quality Assurance Division. His responsibility, ostensibly, is to monitor the park and make sure that the Guests are kept safe. He is also responsible for investigating any park disturbances and has other responsibilities that were assigned to him by Ford[2] when he started working as head of security. Stubbs has authority in the control room, having allowed the Man in Black to continue his killing spree. [3]
Plot
Personality
Stubbs is skeptical about the ability of the Delos Incorporated engineers and scientists and sees himself as often having to clean up their mess. He is anxious to go into action, in "The Original" he was accused by Bernard of "liking to play dress up more than the guests."
Relationships
- Elsie Hughes: When they have to track down a stray host, he lightly flirts with her (indicating that he likes her company) and he shows real concern for Elsie after the host escapes a pit and seemingly attacks her with a giant rock. When learning that her signal was discovered somewhere in the park sometime after her disappearance, he is quick to search for her, concerned for her safety.
- Bernard Lowe: Stubbs seems to be on friendly terms with Bernard as one of his subordinates, expressing relief upon finding him on the beach. He is quick to defend Bernard when he is accused of failing as Head of Behavior by Karl Strand, insisting that Strand was not in the park when the hosts took over and would not know what they were dealing with. Even when he learned Bernard was actually a host, Stubbs was obviously discomforted by the torture Charlotte Hale put him through.

Trivia
- Stubbs' service pistol is a Beretta Px4 Storm Subcompact. He has stated he carries his pistol with him at all times in the park - even while he sleeps.
- The ending scene of "The Passenger" heavily implies without directly stating that Stubbs is another host built by Ford. This was more or less confirmed by episode director Frederick E.O. Toye and Lisa Joy.[4]
- The scene where Stubbs hints he may be a host was written by Jonathan Nolan the night before the scene was filmed; Hemsworth, upon reading the script, reacted positively.[4]
