1. Brecken...
Copy !req
2. I don't want you eating
anything you find in there,
Copy !req
3. you understand me?
Copy !req
4. I don't care
what it is.
Copy !req
5. Don't care
what it is.
Copy !req
6. Ah...
Copy !req
7. Mum! Mum!
Copy !req
8. No! No!
Copy !req
9. No!
No, no!
Copy !req
10. Yes?
Copy !req
11. Yes, it's still Djuna.
Copy !req
12. Now you've confirmed
the phone number.
Copy !req
13. I want you to tell Lang
that if he's interested
Copy !req
14. in picking up the corpse
of that creature
Copy !req
15. he calls his son—
Copy !req
16. Yes, yes, I mean
the Brecken thing.
Copy !req
17. So, you tell him to come
to the address I gave you.
Copy !req
18. It will be here,
and I won't be.
Copy !req
19. Oh, my boy, boy, boy.
Copy !req
20. My boy.
Oh, my boy.
Copy !req
21. Saul.
Copy !req
22. Saul, darling,
Copy !req
23. can you wake up?
Copy !req
24. Who's here?
Copy !req
25. It's just me.
Copy !req
26. It's Caprice.
Copy !req
27. Did you sleep?
Copy !req
28. I think this...
Copy !req
29. bed
Copy !req
30. needs new software.
Copy !req
31. It's not anticipating
my pain anymore.
Copy !req
32. It's not turning me
properly.
Copy !req
33. Yes,
I heard you.
Copy !req
34. A sleepless night.
Copy !req
35. I will call
LifeFormWare right away.
Copy !req
36. They're usually
very responsive.
Copy !req
37. - What else?
- What else?
Copy !req
38. The tests cooked all night
and were ready this morning.
Copy !req
39. There is a new hormone
in your bloodstream.
Copy !req
40. Ah...
Copy !req
41. Great.
Copy !req
42. It's about time.
Copy !req
43. I thought
I was all tapped out.
Copy !req
44. Dried up.
Copy !req
45. You always think that,
and you're always wrong.
Copy !req
46. One day,
I'll be right.
Copy !req
47. Not today.
Copy !req
48. Not today.
Copy !req
49. It's still
before breakfast.
Copy !req
50. What do you see?
Copy !req
51. I can feel you pulling things
around in there.
Copy !req
52. It seems to be
some small sort of, uh,
Copy !req
53. endocrine gland,
Copy !req
54. about the size
of an adrenal gland.
Copy !req
55. Small.
Copy !req
56. That's disappointing.
It's not very dramatic.
Copy !req
57. It's a
brand new organ
Copy !req
58. Never before seen.
Copy !req
59. Yeah.
Copy !req
60. And it's
functioning.
Copy !req
61. Can you feel it?
Copy !req
62. That new hormone?
Copy !req
63. Yeah.
Copy !req
64. Oh,
LifeFormWare.
Copy !req
65. LifeFormWare?
Copy !req
66. Yeah.
Copy !req
67. The pain
is different.
Copy !req
68. That's probably why my bed's
computer's having trouble.
Copy !req
69. This new organ,
it's, uh,
Copy !req
70. it's shifting
my pain centres.
Copy !req
71. For better
or worse?
Copy !req
72. So far,
just different.
Copy !req
73. How's the artwork
progressing?
Copy !req
74. It's a slippery surface.
Copy !req
75. Hard to be precise
with the ink.
Copy !req
76. Huh...
Copy !req
77. Why not do something
that really looks like a tattoo?
Copy !req
78. A heart,
Copy !req
79. an anchor,
Copy !req
80. "Mother"?
Copy !req
81. That would be
playful.
Copy !req
82. But the Registry
insists on
Copy !req
83. "uniquely
self-referential."
Copy !req
84. Ah, the Registry.
Copy !req
85. Of course.
Copy !req
86. Saul Tenser.
Copy !req
87. Caprice.
Copy !req
88. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
89. So you are.
Copy !req
90. Welcome.
Copy !req
91. I'm Wippet,
by the way.
Copy !req
92. Wow, um...
Copy !req
93. This is a real treat
Copy !req
94. and a privilege for us,
isn't it, Timlin?
Copy !req
95. That's Timlin.
Copy !req
96. This isn't very grand, is it,
but this is
Copy !req
97. the National Organ Registry
nonetheless, and
Copy !req
98. we're fully equipped,
aren't we, Timlin?
Copy !req
99. Um, it's all
secret stuff now
Copy !req
100. because we're part of
the NVU of Justice,
Copy !req
101. but we'll be ready
to break out and go public
Copy !req
102. when the time
inevitably comes.
Copy !req
103. NVU?
Copy !req
104. New Vice Unit.
Copy !req
105. No crime
like the present.
Copy !req
106. Sorry, we're a little
confused about procedure.
Copy !req
107. This is
our first time.
Copy !req
108. Hm.
Copy !req
109. But you understand the necessity
of organ registration
Copy !req
110. from a security standpoint?
Copy !req
111. We understand
Copy !req
112. human bodies
are changing.
Copy !req
113. I know this
quite well.
Copy !req
114. Um...
Copy !req
115. And, apparently,
this is of some concern
Copy !req
116. to the governments
of the world.
Copy !req
117. Human bodies, yes.
Copy !req
118. "Human" is the
operative word.
Copy !req
119. Human evolution
Copy !req
120. is the
concern.
Copy !req
121. That it's
going wrong.
Copy !req
122. That it's...
Copy !req
123. uncontrolled, it's...
Copy !req
124. insurrectional.
Copy !req
125. It might lead us
to a bad place.
Copy !req
126. Look what's happened to the
pain thresholds, for instance.
Copy !req
127. The world is a
much more dangerous place
Copy !req
128. now that p-p-pain
has all but disappeared.
Copy !req
129. What good is it
that only a lucky handful of us
Copy !req
130. experience pain
in our sleep?
Copy !req
131. Pain
has a function.
Copy !req
132. It is a warning system
that we don't have anymore,
Copy !req
133. and how did this happen,
what does this mean?
Copy !req
134. Or, or what about
infections?
Copy !req
135. Infections?
What happened to them?
Copy !req
136. Nobody washes
their hands anymore.
Copy !req
137. What is it-
what is that new, uh, fad,
Copy !req
138. uh, what do they call it?
Desktop surgery?
Copy !req
139. In public!
Copy !req
140. It's repulsive.
Copy !req
141. Um...
Copy !req
142. Our records indicate
that you've been producing
Copy !req
143. random and novel bodily organs
for some years,
Copy !req
144. but that
you've had them
Copy !req
145. consistently
removed.
Copy !req
146. Who wouldn't?
Copy !req
147. You'd be
surprised.
Copy !req
148. We would be
surprised.
Copy !req
149. They're basically tumours,
right?
Copy !req
150. Who would
want to keep them?
Copy !req
151. They could
kill you.
Copy !req
152. What is the relationship
between you two?
Copy !req
153. I remove these tumours
as part of our performance.
Copy !req
154. We are
performance artists.
Copy !req
155. We perform together.
Copy !req
156. Hm.
Copy !req
157. And you're qualified
to perform surgery?
Copy !req
158. Well, as Mr. Wippet
was saying,
Copy !req
159. everybody's qualified
to perform surgery these days.
Copy !req
160. If consent is
legally given,
Copy !req
161. there is really no-
no issue there.
Copy !req
162. Hm.
Copy !req
163. I was speaking of your
professional relationship.
Copy !req
164. You wouldn't want to kill
your performance partner,
Copy !req
165. would you?
Copy !req
166. You never know.
Copy !req
167. There's a lot of improvisation
in our shows.
Copy !req
168. Stop it.
Copy !req
169. Hm.
Copy !req
170. We met when Saul
was cut up on duty.
Copy !req
171. I was a trauma surgeon
at First General.
Copy !req
172. We unleashed things
in each other.
Copy !req
173. We both changed,
Copy !req
174. left our
professions.
Copy !req
175. And now we are
what we are.
Copy !req
176. Oh.
Copy !req
177. You're stars,
that's what you are.
Copy !req
178. Gosh, everyone wants to be
a performance artist these days.
Copy !req
179. It's all the rage, but...
Copy !req
180. not everyone
can do it.
Copy !req
181. Well, then...
Copy !req
182. Registration?
Copy !req
183. Oh, my.
Copy !req
184. Oh, it is
so beautiful!
Copy !req
185. I can't quite see it
from my angle.
Copy !req
186. Can you pick it up
from where you are?
Copy !req
187. - Oh, yes.
- It's-it's very clear.
Copy !req
188. Oh, gosh!
Copy !req
189. It is a gorgeous,
Copy !req
190. I might even say,
sensual example
Copy !req
191. of the registration
tatooist's art.
Copy !req
192. Why don't you tell us
what a registration tattoo is?
Copy !req
193. Well, um...
Copy !req
194. we here at the
National Organ Registry
Copy !req
195. have just instituted
a new policy
Copy !req
196. of tattooing
novel organs,
Copy !req
197. or idiopathic organs,
that is,
Copy !req
198. new organs whose function
is unknown,
Copy !req
199. so that they
can be registered
Copy !req
200. and kept track of.
Copy !req
201. Um, our fear is...
Copy !req
202. that some of these
neo-organs
Copy !req
203. might establish themselves
genetically,
Copy !req
204. and then be passed down
from parents to children,
Copy !req
205. who would then
no longer be,
Copy !req
206. strictly speaking,
human.
Copy !req
207. At least, in the
classical sense.
Copy !req
208. Our concept
of the registration tattoo
Copy !req
209. was largely inspired by
the performance art
Copy !req
210. of Saul Tenser.
Copy !req
211. Oh, I'm so sorry, but it's
forbidden to record in here.
Copy !req
212. - Oh, right, right.
- She's right.
Copy !req
213. I was thinking we could use it
for our performance.
Copy !req
214. We record
the most intimate things.
Copy !req
215. I'm sorry,
but it is illegal.
Copy !req
216. This department
does not yet exist.
Copy !req
217. Right, if it
doesn't exist,
Copy !req
218. then, I guess, it's impossible
to make a recording.
Copy !req
219. Sorry.
Copy !req
220. Too bad.
Copy !req
221. I don't think you should have
invited those two creeps
Copy !req
222. from the registry
to our show.
Copy !req
223. Why not?
Copy !req
224. Why not get 'em
on our side?
Copy !req
225. I don't trust them.
Copy !req
226. The woman,
Timlin,
Copy !req
227. she's, uh...
Copy !req
228. especially
creepy.
Copy !req
229. Hm.
Copy !req
230. I thought she was
rather attractive.
Copy !req
231. In a...
Copy !req
232. bureaucratic way.
Copy !req
233. Hm.
Copy !req
234. The LifeFormWare technicians
are here.
Copy !req
235. They need to see you
in your bed.
Copy !req
236. I'm a little upset
about the tattoo.
Copy !req
237. Oh?
Copy !req
238. Rambunctious.
Copy !req
239. That's what
I'd call it.
Copy !req
240. That's a
technical term?
Copy !req
241. TENSER.;
Uh.
Copy !req
242. It takes over
the form,
Copy !req
243. the shape
of the organ itself.
Copy !req
244. It really, in a sense,
dominates it,
Copy !req
245. reshapes it.
Copy !req
246. It's not just
parasitic,
Copy !req
247. although I suppose,
in a sense, it is that too.
Copy !req
248. It seems
to take meaning
Copy !req
249. away from the organ.
Copy !req
250. Takes the process
of meaning
Copy !req
251. for itself,
Copy !req
252. so to speak.
Copy !req
253. You'd really better
get into bed.
Copy !req
254. There, there.
Copy !req
255. You'll be comfortable
again soon.
Copy !req
256. OrchidBed is our
top of the line bed.
Copy !req
257. Once we
correct the misalignment
Copy !req
258. caused by your...
Copy !req
259. hormonal imbalance,
Copy !req
260. you'll be
floating.
Copy !req
261. Huh.
Copy !req
262. Isn't that right,
Berst?
Copy !req
263. Uh-uh.
Copy !req
264. Yeah, these things are
basically bulletproof.
Copy !req
265. This bed loves your body,
Mr. Tenser.
Copy !req
266. It is
so flexible,
Copy !req
267. so attuned to every shift
of your pain centres,
Copy !req
268. it's a beautiful thing
to behold.
Copy !req
269. I see you actually have
several of our units here,
Copy !req
270. - don't you?
- Mm-hm.
Copy !req
271. The OrchidBed Bed,
the BreakFaster Chair,
Copy !req
272. that'll probably need
some adjustment as well.
Copy !req
273. We can...
Copy !req
274. download your
OrchidBed co-ordinates
Copy !req
275. into the BreakFaster,
tweak the EatWare parameters,
Copy !req
276. and we should be
very close.
Copy !req
277. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
278. Router.
Copy !req
279. What is it?
Copy !req
280. Mr. Tenser
has a Sark unit here.
Copy !req
281. Yes.
Copy !req
282. He really does.
Copy !req
283. The Sark autopsy module
was one of the best units
Copy !req
284. we ever made.
It's gorgeous.
Copy !req
285. They're legendary.
Copy !req
286. So complex.
Copy !req
287. So subtle.
Copy !req
288. Do you ever work
on one of these?
Copy !req
289. They stopped making them
before our time.
Copy !req
290. I've never seen one
in the flesh before.
Copy !req
291. They're legendary.
Copy !req
292. What do you
use it for?
Copy !req
293. You're not in the
autopsy business, are you?
Copy !req
294. It's my
paint brush.
Copy !req
295. Hm.
Copy !req
296. Mm, oh, my God,
look at this thing.
Copy !req
297. No, you can't.
Copy !req
298. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
299. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
300. It's not
that small.
Copy !req
301. Quite big,
actually.
Copy !req
302. Hm.
Copy !req
303. Do you mind if I ask you
something intimate?
Copy !req
304. Hi.
Copy !req
305. No, go ahead.
Copy !req
306. That surgery is sex,
isn't it?
Copy !req
307. Is it?
Copy !req
308. Hm.
Copy !req
309. You know it is.
Copy !req
310. Surgery is
the new sex.
Copy !req
311. Hm.
Copy !req
312. Does there have to be
new sex?
Copy !req
313. Yes.
Copy !req
314. Yes,
it's time.
Copy !req
315. When I was watching
Caprice cut into you,
Copy !req
316. I wanted...
Copy !req
317. Yes?
Copy !req
318. I wanted you
to be cutting into me.
Copy !req
319. That's when
I knew.
Copy !req
320. Hm.
Copy !req
321. Hm?
Copy !req
322. What was that
all about?
Copy !req
323. Just another
epiphany.
Copy !req
324. Art triumphs
once again.
Copy !req
325. Hm.
Copy !req
326. His body needs are subtle and
they're constantly shifting.
Copy !req
327. We feel,
Copy !req
328. Danny Router and I do,
that the Tenser account
Copy !req
329. will force
our entire organization
Copy !req
330. into new,
exhilarating territory.
Copy !req
331. Saul Tenser is...
Copy !req
332. an artist
of the inner landscape.
Copy !req
333. Creation of art
is often associated with pain,
Copy !req
334. and pain, as we know,
is always associated with sleep.
Copy !req
335. We at LifeFormWare
specialize in
Copy !req
336. manipulating
Copy !req
337. and modulating
the pain of artists,
Copy !req
338. and,
to us,
Copy !req
339. Saul Tenser
is the greatest challenge,
Copy !req
340. so intimate and involving
in his art,
Copy !req
341. and the nature
of his pain.
Copy !req
342. A good night's sleep
is a...
Copy !req
343. hard thing to define
when you're an artist
Copy !req
344. and you
seek pain.
Copy !req
345. Hm.
Copy !req
346. Sit down.
Copy !req
347. I'm Detective Cope.
Copy !req
348. I'm with
New Vice.
Copy !req
349. And you are?
Copy !req
350. - Wippet.
- Timlin.
Copy !req
351. Hm, yes, good.
Copy !req
352. Have you had recent dealings
with the performance artist,
Copy !req
353. Saul Tenser?
Copy !req
354. Yes.
Copy !req
355. And you have a portfolio
of all the neo-organs
Copy !req
356. which he has
Copy !req
357. developed
and removed?
Copy !req
358. He donated it
to us.
Copy !req
359. He was the first
to undertake the logging,
Copy !req
360. the archiving,
Copy !req
361. of his
inner creations.
Copy !req
362. We call it the
Tenser Organography.
Copy !req
363. For him,
it was an art thing,
Copy !req
364. an artist wanting
a systematized record
Copy !req
365. of his art.
Copy !req
366. But, for us,
it triggered
Copy !req
367. an awareness of the flow,
the significance
Copy !req
368. of these
spontaneous growths
Copy !req
369. which many people
were experiencing in secret.
Copy !req
370. So, now, we have
actually required
Copy !req
371. the legal registering
of these growths.
Copy !req
372. The registering
of a genuine, new...
Copy !req
373. Saul Tenser
internal organ...
Copy !req
374. It's like discovering
a new species of animal.
Copy !req
375. Well,
Copy !req
376. more like discovering
a new Picasso.
Copy !req
377. How can a tumorous growth
be considered art?
Copy !req
378. Where is the
emotional shaping,
Copy !req
379. the philosophical
understanding,
Copy !req
380. which is basic
to all art?
Copy !req
381. Look...
Copy !req
382. I have a lump
on my abdomen.
Copy !req
383. You see it?
Copy !req
384. Picasso?
Copy !req
385. Duchamp?
Copy !req
386. Francis Bacon,
perhaps?
Copy !req
387. Am I an artist?
Copy !req
388. He takes the rebellion
of his own body
Copy !req
389. and seizes
control of it.
Copy !req
390. Shapes it,
Copy !req
391. tattoos it,
displays it,
Copy !req
392. creates theatre
out of it.
Copy !req
393. It has meaning,
very potent meaning, and...
Copy !req
394. many, many people
respond to it.
Copy !req
395. Yes.
Copy !req
396. Tattoos it?
Copy !req
397. Here we go.
Copy !req
398. Hm.
Copy !req
399. You see?
Copy !req
400. See, right from
the beginning,
Copy !req
401. after he met Caprice,
Copy !req
402. all his neo-organs
were tattooed
Copy !req
403. while they were still
inside his body.
Copy !req
404. Caprice
is his lover?
Copy !req
405. Caprice is
his performance partner.
Copy !req
406. She does
the tattoos.
Copy !req
407. And the surgery.
Copy !req
408. Hm.
Copy !req
409. Looks to me as though
Caprice is the artist.
Copy !req
410. Tenser is just
a glorified organ donor.
Copy !req
411. Well, there are
the performances.
Copy !req
412. And, then-then,
there is the question of will.
Copy !req
413. Will?
Copy !req
414. Yes.
Copy !req
415. We believe,
that on a certain level,
Copy !req
416. perhaps
a subconscious one,
Copy !req
417. Saul Tenser
wills these new organs to grow.
Copy !req
418. So...
Copy !req
419. Hm, you really ought to get that
lump on your abdomen looked at.
Copy !req
420. Saul?
Copy !req
421. Saul, darling,
can you wake up?
Copy !req
422. Your bed says that you're
working on something new.
Copy !req
423. Can that
be right?
Copy !req
424. So soon?
Copy !req
425. The bed
is very quiet.
Copy !req
426. The bed
is never wrong.
Copy !req
427. Just ask our friends
at LifeFormWare.
Copy !req
428. Is this something
we should worry about?
Copy !req
429. The interval between growths
seems to be closing up.
Copy !req
430. I'm feeling
very creative.
Copy !req
431. I guess.
Copy !req
432. We'll just have to
start cutting faster.
Copy !req
433. It is time
to stop seeing.
Copy !req
434. It is time
to stop speaking.
Copy !req
435. It is time
Copy !req
436. to listen.
Copy !req
437. I don't like
the ears.
Copy !req
438. What?
Copy !req
439. The ears.
Copy !req
440. They're cute,
they're striking, but
Copy !req
441. a thousand ears
is not good design.
Copy !req
442. Surround sound?
Copy !req
443. The extra ears
don't even work.
Copy !req
444. They're just
for show.
Copy !req
445. How do
you know?
Copy !req
446. I'm Adrienne Berceau.
Copy !req
447. I'm Klinek's
Biomorphology Coordinator.
Copy !req
448. Don't tell him I said this,
but he's better with the dancing
Copy !req
449. than he is
with the conceptual art.
Copy !req
450. Are you working
on anything new, Mr. Tenser?
Copy !req
451. I never
really know
Copy !req
452. when I'm
working on something new.
Copy !req
453. It doesn't
seem to be my decision.
Copy !req
454. What if it is?
Copy !req
455. If it is?
Copy !req
456. The creation of inner beauty
cannot be an accident.
Copy !req
457. Forgive me
for quoting you and your show.
Copy !req
458. Have you heard of
Dr. Nasatir?
Copy !req
459. No.
Copy !req
460. You should
pay him a visit.
Copy !req
461. Inner beauty
is his specialty,
Copy !req
462. as it is yours.
Copy !req
463. I've booked you
an appointment.
Copy !req
464. Go to the address
written here.
Copy !req
465. A consultation
about a medical problem?
Copy !req
466. A consultation about
a political problem.
Copy !req
467. I have
a concept for you.
Copy !req
468. Yeah?
Copy !req
469. Yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
470. It came to me
when I saw you
Copy !req
471. use a Sark unit
as part of your show.
Copy !req
472. The Sark was originally
an autopsy module.
Copy !req
473. Did you
know that?
Copy !req
474. I knew that.
Copy !req
475. Have you ever thought about
using it for a real autopsy?
Copy !req
476. As part
of your show?
Copy !req
477. Perform an autopsy?
Copy !req
478. - On a corpse.
- Mm-hm.
Copy !req
479. I have a corpse
for you.
Copy !req
480. It's a
very special corpse.
Copy !req
481. You could do a live autopsy
on a dead body.
Copy !req
482. And there would be surprises.
I can guarantee a few surprises.
Copy !req
483. What corpse
are you talking about?
Copy !req
484. My son.
Copy !req
485. Eight years old.
Copy !req
486. Why is he
a corpse?
Copy !req
487. - His mother murdered him.
- Wouldn't that be...
Copy !req
488. good raw material
for a performance?
Copy !req
489. You have the body
of your son?
Copy !req
490. Yes, of course I have
the body of my son.
Copy !req
491. He's my son.
Copy !req
492. Wow.
Copy !req
493. Yeah, I know.
Copy !req
494. I mean,
how radical are you?
Copy !req
495. Hm?
Copy !req
496. Are you afraid of
a little emotion?
Copy !req
497. I'm afraid
of everything.
Copy !req
498. The throat thing
Copy !req
499. is very severe
Copy !req
500. today.
Copy !req
501. I can't
open it.
Copy !req
502. What's going on?
Copy !req
503. I am not sure.
Copy !req
504. You were out
for a very long time yesterday.
Copy !req
505. Yeah.
Copy !req
506. It's not
my allergies.
Copy !req
507. In fact,
Copy !req
508. they're not
bothering me.
Copy !req
509. It's strange.
Copy !req
510. Are you
in discomfort?
Copy !req
511. No, it's a...
Copy !req
512. compelling fullness.
Copy !req
513. Not a completely
bad feeling.
Copy !req
514. At least not...
Copy !req
515. uninteresting.
Copy !req
516. I went to see
the Klinek.
Copy !req
517. How was it?
Copy !req
518. The usual.
Copy !req
519. It was packed.
Copy !req
520. Jealous?
Copy !req
521. Of course.
Copy !req
522. But that's not it.
Copy !req
523. I met this guy...
Copy !req
524. On the street.
Copy !req
525. He had an idea
Copy !req
526. for a show.
Copy !req
527. So,
Copy !req
528. I'm the boy's corpse.
Copy !req
529. We'll have to
modify the Sark.
Copy !req
530. Hm.
Copy !req
531. Convert it back
into an autopsy module.
Copy !req
532. I don't know
where the law is
Copy !req
533. on acts degrading
to human remains.
Copy !req
534. We'll have to be outrageous
to make it worthwhile.
Copy !req
535. We have to
go deep.
Copy !req
536. I'm not sure how we'd play
the inner beauty angle.
Copy !req
537. This guy, Dotrice,
he said there'd be surprises...
Copy !req
538. Oops.
Copy !req
539. - Oh.
- Sorry.
Copy !req
540. That was
the machinery talking.
Copy !req
541. That was you
talking.
Copy !req
542. Keep going.
Copy !req
543. Really?
Copy !req
544. So far...
Copy !req
545. so good.
Copy !req
546. Oh...
Copy !req
547. Oh...
Copy !req
548. Oh!
Oh...
Copy !req
549. You could be on the inside
for the next show.
Copy !req
550. Maybe.
Copy !req
551. But maybe
Copy !req
552. this is
just for us.
Copy !req
553. How are you feeling?
Copy !req
554. What do you mean?
Copy !req
555. Got anything
cooking in there?
Copy !req
556. Huh.
Copy !req
557. Your imagination's
working overtime.
Copy !req
558. I just got to see
your portfolio.
Copy !req
559. You are very
prolific.
Copy !req
560. I had no idea.
Copy !req
561. It must be
exhausting, uh?
Copy !req
562. I could live
without it.
Copy !req
563. Listen,
illuminate me.
Copy !req
564. Why is Saul Tenser
doing undercover?
Copy !req
565. I mean, you seem to be
pretty deep
Copy !req
566. into that
body-art stuff.
Copy !req
567. Well...
Copy !req
568. What I'm saying with that
body-art stuff
Copy !req
569. is that I don't like
what's happening with the body.
Copy !req
570. In particular,
what's happening with my body,
Copy !req
571. which is why
I keep cutting it up.
Copy !req
572. Your partner,
Caprice,
Copy !req
573. she's in the dark
about this?
Copy !req
574. The under
the covers?
Copy !req
575. Yeah.
Copy !req
576. - Totally?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
577. She can't read
your insides?
Copy !req
578. There aren't any traces there
that say undercover stoolie?
Copy !req
579. You really are
imaginative.
Copy !req
580. What have you
got for me?
Copy !req
581. Dr. Nasatir.
Copy !req
582. Cosmetic surgery.
Copy !req
583. Someone contacted me
at the Klinek show.
Copy !req
584. I heard
it was a good show.
Copy !req
585. Very disturbing.
Multiple ears.
Copy !req
586. Wow.
Copy !req
587. Got to be
good.
Copy !req
588. It was okay.
Copy !req
589. If you like
escapist propaganda.
Copy !req
590. This someone
Copy !req
591. talked to me about
Copy !req
592. my take
on inner beauty.
Copy !req
593. Said I really should consult
with a doctor.
Copy !req
594. Dr. Nasatir.
Copy !req
595. Inner beauty, huh?
Copy !req
596. That's right up
your alley.
Copy !req
597. Guess that's why
she was talking to me.
Copy !req
598. Okay, good.
Copy !req
599. Follow it up.
Copy !req
600. Find out
what it means.
Copy !req
601. What else?
Copy !req
602. Why is your body-crime unit
called New Vice?
Copy !req
603. I don't get
the vice part.
Copy !req
604. Somebody in the Bureau
thought it was sexier than
Copy !req
605. Evolutionary
Derangement.
Copy !req
606. Sexier means
easier funding.
Copy !req
607. Anything else?
Copy !req
608. Yeah.
Copy !req
609. You have a woman named
Djuna Dotrice in the Metro Pen.
Copy !req
610. We have?
Copy !req
611. New Vice
has her?
Copy !req
612. - Probably just Old Homicide.
- She's in for murder.
Copy !req
613. Murdered
her own kid.
Copy !req
614. Yeah.
Copy !req
615. Well?
Copy !req
616. I need
to talk to her.
Copy !req
617. The Sark
was originally
Copy !req
618. a coroners'
autopsy sarcophagus.
Copy !req
619. When it went out of style
in the medical profession,
Copy !req
620. it took on
new life as
Copy !req
621. artists' supplies.
Copy !req
622. I've heard
that some of the Sarks
Copy !req
623. that were modified
for performance surgery
Copy !req
624. have been really brutally
hacked around,
Copy !req
625. but this one was
converted by someone
Copy !req
626. with a very
delicate touch.
Copy !req
627. It's in
beautiful shape.
Copy !req
628. Where's your
partner?
Copy !req
629. Saul likes me
to do the techno dog work.
Copy !req
630. Keeps me in touch
with my roots.
Copy !req
631. What happened
to him?
Copy !req
632. The body-growth thing.
Copy !req
633. Is there a name
for it?
Copy !req
634. Accelerated Evolution Syndrome.
Copy !req
635. Your body
gets very inventive
Copy !req
636. and throws a lot
of new stuff at you.
Copy !req
637. I guess it wants to see
what sticks
Copy !req
638. for the next
generation.
Copy !req
639. Yeah, but,
uh...
Copy !req
640. Tenser's not letting
anything stick, is he?
Copy !req
641. I mean...
Copy !req
642. not if he's
getting rid of it all.
Copy !req
643. the new,
improved body parts?
Copy !req
644. It's pathological.
Copy !req
645. It's not
healthy.
Copy !req
646. It's a breakdown
of the system.
Copy !req
647. An organism
needs organisation.
Copy !req
648. Otherwise, it's just
designer cancer.
Copy !req
649. Hey, Caprice.
Copy !req
650. Check us out!
Copy !req
651. Whaddya think?
Copy !req
652. Do we got a future
in performance here?
Copy !req
653. Definitely.
Copy !req
654. Saul Tenser.
Copy !req
655. Come on in.
Copy !req
656. This
Copy !req
657. is very exciting.
Copy !req
658. Is it?
Copy !req
659. Seeing you here,
Copy !req
660. is like a lightning bolt
from the blue.
Copy !req
661. It strikes you very hard
and very convincingly.
Copy !req
662. Let me
take your coat.
Copy !req
663. Uh, I prefer
to keep it on.
Copy !req
664. I get cold.
Copy !req
665. If you don't mind
staining.
Copy !req
666. Please, just hop up on there
and expose your abdomen.
Copy !req
667. Tell me about
the lightning bolt.
Copy !req
668. Saul Tenser
and the Inner Beauties.
Copy !req
669. It's a marriage
made in heaven.
Copy !req
670. Inner Beauties.
Copy !req
671. I propose
Copy !req
672. to install
the rip-lock
Copy !req
673. here.
Copy !req
674. This will give you
maximum access.
Copy !req
675. Access to what?
Copy !req
676. I believe I'm here
to discuss my political problem.
Copy !req
677. I wasn't aware
you had one.
Copy !req
678. I wasn't either,
Copy !req
679. but Adrienne Berceau
seems to think I do.
Copy !req
680. Oh, Adrienne.
Copy !req
681. She's so dramatic.
Copy !req
682. Listen...
Copy !req
683. Me, I'm just
a mechanic.
Copy !req
684. I install doors and windows
into the future.
Copy !req
685. Politics
will come soon,
Copy !req
686. when you're
registered.
Copy !req
687. Registered?
Copy !req
688. For what?
Copy !req
689. He doesn't even know.
Copy !req
690. For the
Inner Beauty Pageant.
Copy !req
691. I'm sure you'll be
a contender.
Copy !req
692. - Hi.
- Hi.
Copy !req
693. How's the Sark
coming along?
Copy !req
694. Our LifeFormWare friends
are very...
Copy !req
695. How can I
put it?
Copy !req
696. Very playful.
Copy !req
697. Huh.
Copy !req
698. Is that
a good thing?
Copy !req
699. They love it to death,
that piece of machinery.
Copy !req
700. They literally
salivate on it.
Copy !req
701. They won't
hurt it.
Copy !req
702. Huh.
Copy !req
703. Wow.
Copy !req
704. And
what's this?
Copy !req
705. Cut yourself
shaving?
Copy !req
706. I seem
to be a contestant
Copy !req
707. in the
Inner Beauty Pageant.
Copy !req
708. It's very
hush-hush.
Copy !req
709. Might not be
quite legal.
Copy !req
710. The things
you drag home.
Copy !req
711. Hm.
Copy !req
712. I'm entering
in the category
Copy !req
713. of Best Original Organ
With No Known Function.
Copy !req
714. This is like a raincoat
for internal organ flashers.
Copy !req
715. Wow.
Copy !req
716. A new world
opens up.
Copy !req
717. Hm.
Copy !req
718. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
719. Have we just been
made, um...
Copy !req
720. obsolete?
Copy !req
721. No,
of course not.
Copy !req
722. It's just
a functional thing.
Copy !req
723. It's a
zippered fly;
Copy !req
724. it's not art,
It's not sensual.
Copy !req
725. Besides,
Copy !req
726. remember what
Copy !req
727. sex is surgery.
Copy !req
728. A zipper
can't replace our Sark.
Copy !req
729. I think she said, uh...
Copy !req
730. "Surgery is
the new sex."
Copy !req
731. Besides,
Copy !req
732. zippers...
Copy !req
733. have their own
Copy !req
734. sex appeal.
Copy !req
735. Careful...
Copy !req
736. don't spill.
Copy !req
737. He ate a plastic
wastepaper basket.
Copy !req
738. What would
you do?
Copy !req
739. I wouldn't
kill him.
Copy !req
740. A little kid,
my own son.
Copy !req
741. But he wouldn't be
your own son.
Copy !req
742. He wouldn't even be
a little kid.
Copy !req
743. What would
he be?
Copy !req
744. A creature.
Copy !req
745. A thing.
Copy !req
746. A thing my husband invented
to torment me.
Copy !req
747. A thing that can eat
a plastic wastepaper basket.
Copy !req
748. Eat it
and enjoy it.
Copy !req
749. And eat nothing but plastic
and weird synthetic stuff.
Copy !req
750. He would take that watch
and he'd have it for lunch.
Copy !req
751. He could
digest plastic?
Copy !req
752. He had this
Copy !req
753. weird,
Copy !req
754. thick white drool
Copy !req
755. that he'd sometimes
slurp over everything.
Copy !req
756. It was like
acid.
Copy !req
757. It'd dissolve
any kind of plasticky stuff.
Copy !req
758. It would sting
if you got it on your skin.
Copy !req
759. Didn't bother him,
though.
Copy !req
760. That lizard.
Copy !req
761. Your husband
is Lang Dotrice.
Copy !req
762. Was.
Copy !req
763. Was my husband.
I've disowned him - fuck him.
Copy !req
764. He invented
your son?
Copy !req
765. Yeah.
Copy !req
766. That's how
I think of it.
Copy !req
767. And here's another thing
Copy !req
768. the thought
of that slimy worm
Copy !req
769. growing in me
still makes me sick.
Copy !req
770. The police tell me
Copy !req
771. they haven't found
your son, Brecken.
Copy !req
772. I get
the feeling
Copy !req
773. they don't think
you really killed him.
Copy !req
774. I confess
Copy !req
775. they don't
believe me.
Copy !req
776. The perfect crime.
Copy !req
777. You confessed?
Copy !req
778. Yeah.
Copy !req
779. Why?
Copy !req
780. I'm guilty.
Copy !req
781. Where's the body?
Copy !req
782. Lang has it
unless he's thrown it away.
Copy !req
783. How'd he
get it?
Copy !req
784. I left it
for him.
Copy !req
785. My little
divorce present.
Copy !req
786. What is Lang
going to do with the body?
Copy !req
787. Maybe him and his cannibal
friends are going to eat it.
Copy !req
788. Who the fuck knows?
Who the fuck cares?
Copy !req
789. His friends
are cannibals?
Copy !req
790. Um-hm.
Copy !req
791. If you're
a Barbie Doll,
Copy !req
792. then they're
cannibals.
Copy !req
793. If the police
found Brecken's body
Copy !req
794. and did
an autopsy,
Copy !req
795. what do you think
they'd find inside it?
Copy !req
796. Outer space.
Copy !req
797. - Tarr.
- Lang.
Copy !req
798. Everybody's here.
Copy !req
799. Good.
Copy !req
800. Our supply lines
are up and running again,
Copy !req
801. so we're
in very good shape.
Copy !req
802. Production will soon
be back to maximum.
Copy !req
803. Tarr, if we have to
move the commune,
Copy !req
804. I mean, the whole operation,
the assembly line, everything...
Copy !req
805. Sit.
Copy !req
806. How quickly
can it be?
Copy !req
807. You're expecting
problems?
Copy !req
808. I'm going ahead
with the Brecken autopsy.
Copy !req
809. Finally, what we're doing
is going to be very public
Copy !req
810. and it's going to
resonate.
Copy !req
811. Oh...
Copy !req
812. Oh.
Copy !req
813. Where's
Mr. Tenser?
Copy !req
814. - He's doing some research.
- Ah.
Copy !req
815. Where's your friend,
Timlin?
Copy !req
816. Oh, she was, uh,
intimidated.
Copy !req
817. By whom?
Copy !req
818. Well, we've been
Copy !req
819. forbidden
to mingle.
Copy !req
820. It's now part of
the job description.
Copy !req
821. I'm risking my career
just being here,
Copy !req
822. but, uh...
Copy !req
823. I can't
stay away.
Copy !req
824. I've got
the fever.
Copy !req
825. Forgive me.
Copy !req
826. I've got to talk to her
before she goes.
Copy !req
827. Odile.
Copy !req
828. Caprice.
Copy !req
829. Oh, you have no idea
how hard it's been for me
Copy !req
830. to find plastic surgeons
who understand
Copy !req
831. that I do not wish
to be made more beautiful.
Copy !req
832. Surgeons tend to be
very focussed
Copy !req
833. and unimaginative.
Copy !req
834. It's considered
a strength.
Copy !req
835. I was
a surgeon myself.
Copy !req
836. Not cosmetic surgery,
though.
Copy !req
837. Trauma.
Copy !req
838. Trauma.
Copy !req
839. But that's very
um...
Copy !req
840. provocative.
Copy !req
841. I enjoy trauma.
Copy !req
842. What I do to myself
is very traumatic.
Copy !req
843. Is it?
Copy !req
844. You seem so peaceful,
so...
Copy !req
845. beatific while your surgery's
going on.
Copy !req
846. Watching you
suddenly...
Copy !req
847. filled me with the desire
to cut my face open.
Copy !req
848. It's a feeling
that shocked me.
Copy !req
849. A desire
to be open
Copy !req
850. is often the beginning
of something exciting...
Copy !req
851. new.
Copy !req
852. Perhaps you would
like to join me and the troupe
Copy !req
853. later
this evening,
Copy !req
854. at the hotel?
Copy !req
855. A desire
to be open?
Copy !req
856. Metaphorically.
Copy !req
857. Emotionally.
Copy !req
858. Artistically.
Copy !req
859. You want to take over
the Brecken show.
Copy !req
860. I want to perform
the autopsy.
Copy !req
861. I want
to perform.
Copy !req
862. Well,
this is new.
Copy !req
863. Yes,
it is.
Copy !req
864. Maybe...
Copy !req
865. you were too shy
before.
Copy !req
866. I'm not
too shy now.
Copy !req
867. Will you have something new
for the show?
Copy !req
868. We could definitely do work
in a Tenser extraction.
Copy !req
869. Double Autopsy.
Copy !req
870. Hm.
Copy !req
871. I do have
something cooking.
Copy !req
872. Maybe
a few things.
Copy !req
873. But I'm happy to let them
stay inside for now.
Copy !req
874. That might not
be healthy.
Copy !req
875. We can extract
in private,
Copy !req
876. if it's
a problem.
Copy !req
877. Doesn't have to be
a performance.
Copy !req
878. Don't let it go
too long.
Copy !req
879. How was
Odile's show?
Copy !req
880. It was...
Copy !req
881. Brilliant.
Copy !req
882. She's exhilarating.
Copy !req
883. Yeah.
Copy !req
884. She says
hello.
Copy !req
885. Hello.
Copy !req
886. I want to do more
than perform.
Copy !req
887. I want to
construct.
Copy !req
888. I want to construct
the Brecken show.
Copy !req
889. It already has
an innate structure.
Copy !req
890. A murdered boy.
Copy !req
891. A very
strange boy.
Copy !req
892. A public autopsy,
some...
Copy !req
893. surprises.
Copy !req
894. I want to
work with it.
Copy !req
895. It's juicy
with meaning.
Copy !req
896. Saul Tenser.
Copy !req
897. Well,
then,
Copy !req
898. come on in.
Copy !req
899. Hm.
Copy !req
900. Just...
Copy !req
901. What's up?
Copy !req
902. Oh, well...
Copy !req
903. I just want your advice
as a neo-organ generator.
Copy !req
904. I...
Copy !req
905. just...
Copy !req
906. Uh...
Copy !req
907. actually, I wanted
to show you our safe room.
Copy !req
908. Can I?
Copy !req
909. Yes...
Copy !req
910. So, this is where
we archive our more
Copy !req
911. provocative material
in here.
Copy !req
912. I thought
it was all provocative.
Copy !req
913. You,
Copy !req
914. you provoke us.
Copy !req
915. Uh...
Copy !req
916. You,
you provoke me.
Copy !req
917. I'm—
Copy !req
918. I'm just so glad
you're with us, you know.
Copy !req
919. It makes such
emotional sense.
Copy !req
920. Who's us?
Copy !req
921. It's me, I'm...
Copy !req
922. I'm the one.
Copy !req
923. I am the Registrar
for the Inner Beauty Pageant.
Copy !req
924. Sh, don't tell.
Copy !req
925. Registration
Copy !req
926. seems to be
your strong suit.
Copy !req
927. I-I think you have
Copy !req
928. a very good chance
of winning your category.
Copy !req
929. In fact, if I were you,
I'd go for Best in Show.
Copy !req
930. I'm not sure I'll have
anything to show.
Copy !req
931. Might have to
fake it.
Copy !req
932. Speaking of
faking it,
Copy !req
933. I said it makes emotional sense
for you to be with
Copy !req
934. the Inner Beauties,
and it does, but...
Copy !req
935. you know,
Copy !req
936. doesn't make
logical sense.
Copy !req
937. - No?
- No.
Copy !req
938. Because the Inner Beauty
Pageant is all about acceptance.
Copy !req
939. It's about acknowledgment,
aesthetic empowerment,
Copy !req
940. And you,
Saul Tenser,
Copy !req
941. you're all about anger,
and rebellion, and...
Copy !req
942. rejection
by scalpel.
Copy !req
943. This has been a mistake,
hasn't it?
Copy !req
944. No.
Copy !req
945. - No, you're right.
- I'd be a fish out of water
Copy !req
946. at your little
secret event.
Copy !req
947. But, no, no, no.
Copy !req
948. We want you,
we need you, we-we...
Copy !req
949. It'll all fall apart
without you!
Copy !req
950. What if I won
for best original organ
Copy !req
951. and then I ripped it out
in public at my next show?
Copy !req
952. Wouldn't that
humiliate your group?
Copy !req
953. It's star power.
We'll-we'll-we'll cover it.
Copy !req
954. We'll,
we'll settle.
Copy !req
955. We'll give you
whatever you want
Copy !req
956. and maybe, just maybe,
you'll begin to see it our way.
Copy !req
957. Uh...
Copy !req
958. So—
Copy !req
959. So, okay...
Copy !req
960. we rewind.
Copy !req
961. I, uh...
Copy !req
962. I'm here to register
for the Inner Beauty Pageant.
Copy !req
963. - Mr. Tenser?
- Ah! Oh.
Copy !req
964. - Saul...
- It's you.
Copy !req
965. Could you
come into my office?
Copy !req
966. You were just with
Mr. Wippet.
Copy !req
967. I was.
Copy !req
968. I'm very worried
about him.
Copy !req
969. He seemed
to be in fine form.
Copy !req
970. Oh, no, it's a
very dangerous form to be in.
Copy !req
971. I—
Copy !req
972. I don't understand.
Copy !req
973. It's...
Copy !req
974. in our line of work,
very easy to be dazzled
Copy !req
975. by the glamour
of the performance world,
Copy !req
976. the charismatic people
we meet,
Copy !req
977. like you.
Copy !req
978. Mm.
Copy !req
979. I see.
Copy !req
980. Do you?
Copy !req
981. - Maybe not.
- Tell me.
Copy !req
982. Well, this
is our world.
Copy !req
983. This office,
this building.
Copy !req
984. From the
centre of it,
Copy !req
985. deep,
Copy !req
986. deep within it,
Copy !req
987. this beautiful white light
emanates outward.
Copy !req
988. That light
is you,
Copy !req
989. what you create,
Copy !req
990. and those
like you.
Copy !req
991. Mm...
Copy !req
992. It's hard-it's hard
for us, drab
Copy !req
993. little bureaucratic insects
that we are,
Copy !req
994. not to be drawn into your
powerful gravitational field.
Copy !req
995. Hurtling towards you,
Copy !req
996. plunging into your black hole
that pulls all light into it.
Copy !req
997. We want to
follow that light,
Copy !req
998. fuse
with that light.
Copy !req
999. Is—
Copy !req
1000. Is Wippet
doing some fusing,
Copy !req
1001. do you think?
Copy !req
1002. Oh...
Copy !req
1003. He's-he is drawn
to inner beauty.
Copy !req
1004. Is he playing games
with subversive groups?
Copy !req
1005. Is that-is that
what you mean?
Copy !req
1006. I...
Copy !req
1007. I am very,
very fond of him, but...
Copy !req
1008. Yes, I think I might have to
actually turn him in.
Copy !req
1009. No, don't-don't-don't
do that.
Copy !req
1010. Uh...
Copy !req
1011. How safe
is this room?
Copy !req
1012. Oh, it's...
Copy !req
1013. It's totally safe.
Copy !req
1014. You can be
open with me.
Copy !req
1015. Yeah, open.
Copy !req
1016. Um...
Copy !req
1017. Have you run across
a neo-organ...
Copy !req
1018. or rather,
a system
Copy !req
1019. of neo-organs,
Copy !req
1020. that had
a digestive function?
Copy !req
1021. A system that can digest
synthetics, plastics...
Copy !req
1022. that sort
of thing?
Copy !req
1023. No.
Copy !req
1024. No, but that
sounds interesting.
Copy !req
1025. We've only come across
single organ growths here,
Copy !req
1026. like yours.
Copy !req
1027. Of course, nobody knows
what would happen
Copy !req
1028. if those growths
were allowed to accumulate.
Copy !req
1029. Do you think they
could ev—
Copy !req
1030. Um, I almost
Copy !req
1031. said evolve,
Copy !req
1032. - but I didn't.
- Hah.
Copy !req
1033. Um...
Copy !req
1034. Do you think they could
actually develop into...
Copy !req
1035. a system
of organs?
Copy !req
1036. like a...
Copy !req
1037. circulatory system,
Copy !req
1038. nervous system, um...
Copy !req
1039. lymphatic...?
Copy !req
1040. You know a lot
about human physiology.
Copy !req
1041. Yeah.
Copy !req
1042. Hm.
Copy !req
1043. Do you think
you would ever
Copy !req
1044. let me be a part
of your show?
Copy !req
1045. Uh...
Copy !req
1046. Because I would
love to...
Copy !req
1047. find myself
in that Sark module with...
Copy !req
1048. you
at the controls.
Copy !req
1049. That would,
that would
Copy !req
1050. definitely fall into
the category of New Vice.
Copy !req
1051. Mm...
Copy !req
1052. Well, that is
where I live.
Copy !req
1053. Hm.
Copy !req
1054. Ah.
Copy !req
1055. - Oh...
- Uh...
Copy !req
1056. - I'm sorry.
- No.
Copy !req
1057. I'm just not very good
at the old sex.
Copy !req
1058. Please,
come in.
Copy !req
1059. Sit, uh,
anywhere you like.
Copy !req
1060. This is Caprice.
Copy !req
1061. She's
my partner.
Copy !req
1062. Yes, I've seen
your work.
Copy !req
1063. Beautiful.
Outstanding stuff.
Copy !req
1064. Thank you.
Copy !req
1065. I spoke
to your wife.
Copy !req
1066. Your ex-wife.
Copy !req
1067. Why'd you
do that?
Copy !req
1068. I wanted to know
what we were getting into.
Copy !req
1069. Do you
know now?
Copy !req
1070. Not exactly.
Copy !req
1071. Okay.
Copy !req
1072. Why don't we, uh,
Copy !req
1073. start with this.
Copy !req
1074. Don't you want to take a look
at your raw materials?
Copy !req
1075. Please.
Copy !req
1076. I don't think
we should do this.
Copy !req
1077. Maybe
you shouldn't.
Copy !req
1078. But you obviously
really want us to.
Copy !req
1079. Why do you?
Copy !req
1080. I need to
make a statement.
Copy !req
1081. A very public
statement.
Copy !req
1082. Hm.
Copy !req
1083. Wouldn't a
Copy !req
1084. formal police autopsy
make that statement?
Copy !req
1085. No, no, it would be
covered up.
Copy !req
1086. You'd never
hear a thing.
Copy !req
1087. Performance art
is all consensual.
Copy !req
1088. This one
would be different.
Copy !req
1089. This would be
different.
Copy !req
1090. Yes, well,
you'll have my consent.
Copy !req
1091. Brecken
isn't talking.
Copy !req
1092. I'm sure you realize
that Djuna doesn't care
Copy !req
1093. what happens
to her son's body.
Copy !req
1094. I got the feeling
she was obsessed with his body.
Copy !req
1095. Especially
his digestive system.
Copy !req
1096. - Ah.
- Well...
Copy !req
1097. Ever eaten
one of these?
Copy !req
1098. Never seen
one of those before.
Copy !req
1099. - Go ahead.
- Please.
Copy !req
1100. I think it'll be
a revelation.
Copy !req
1101. I'm very fussy
about my food.
Copy !req
1102. Yeah,
so am I.
Copy !req
1103. So was Brecken.
Copy !req
1104. Let me
Copy !req
1105. does the EatWare application
work for you?
Copy !req
1106. I looked at one of those
BreakFaster chairs
Copy !req
1107. from LifeFormWare
in a showroom window once.
Copy !req
1108. The way they adjust
every part of your body
Copy !req
1109. to make chewing, swallowing
and digesting easy.
Copy !req
1110. At one point
in my life
Copy !req
1111. I thought that might be
the answer.
Copy !req
1112. To what question?
Copy !req
1113. The eating problem
that I have,
Copy !req
1114. Brecken had...
Copy !req
1115. and that
you have.
Copy !req
1116. Hm.
Copy !req
1117. You think
they're related?
Copy !req
1118. You're a man who's fighting
what he really is.
Copy !req
1119. Don't you see?
Copy !req
1120. You should let your body
lead you to
Copy !req
1121. where it wants to go
instead of
Copy !req
1122. hacking it to pieces
and displaying it
Copy !req
1123. in some
hidden museum
Copy !req
1124. like the bones
of an extinct animal.
Copy !req
1125. Saul would be dead now
if he listened to that advice.
Copy !req
1126. His body
wants to kill him.
Copy !req
1127. What we're doing is
we're making art
Copy !req
1128. out of
anarchy.
Copy !req
1129. We are creating meaning
out of emptiness.
Copy !req
1130. Are you?
Copy !req
1131. Has it ever occurred to you
that you might simply be
Copy !req
1132. interfering in a
fantastic natural process
Copy !req
1133. that you should
surrender to?
Copy !req
1134. Never has.
Copy !req
1135. Will you do
Copy !req
1136. the Brecken show?
Copy !req
1137. Should I do
the Brecken show?
Copy !req
1138. What does New Vice
want to get out of this?
Copy !req
1139. You have a new
best friend.
Copy !req
1140. Who would
that be?
Copy !req
1141. Lang Dotrice.
Copy !req
1142. We want him.
Copy !req
1143. But we don't
just want him.
Copy !req
1144. We want his group
of freaks.
Copy !req
1145. All of them.
Copy !req
1146. I don't know anything
about a group.
Copy !req
1147. You will find out
about the group.
Copy !req
1148. He likes you.
Copy !req
1149. He trusts you.
Copy !req
1150. He trusts me to
cut up his dead son in public.
Copy !req
1151. What'll that
get us?
Copy !req
1152. It could get you
to the next stage,
Copy !req
1153. which is
infiltration.
Copy !req
1154. We want to know everything
there is to know about Dotrice
Copy !req
1155. and his
plastic-eating comrades.
Copy !req
1156. Plastic-eating?
Copy !req
1157. You don't
get it yet?
Copy !req
1158. You talking
about those
Copy !req
1159. purple
candy bars?
Copy !req
1160. Ever try
eating one of those?
Copy !req
1161. One of
our agents did.
Copy !req
1162. He's as dead
as Brecken now.
Copy !req
1163. Poisoned him?
Copy !req
1164. They're synth bars.
Copy !req
1165. Synthetic,
man-made stuff.
Copy !req
1166. Toxic.
Copy !req
1167. A normal human
can't eat that stuff.
Copy !req
1168. But
those people,
Copy !req
1169. they just...
Copy !req
1170. they just munch away,
no problem.
Copy !req
1171. They're evolving away
from the human path, Saul.
Copy !req
1172. It can't be allowed
to continue.
Copy !req
1173. Doctor Nasatir?
Copy !req
1174. Yes?
Copy !req
1175. Router and Berst
of LifeFormWare.
Copy !req
1176. Authorized
technicians.
Copy !req
1177. You called us,
Copy !req
1178. we're here.
Copy !req
1179. Did I call you?
Copy !req
1180. A paradigm shift
with your BreakFaster chair.
Copy !req
1181. Yes, that's true,
but I'm just eating now.
Copy !req
1182. Oh,
Copy !req
1183. it's perfect timing.
Copy !req
1184. We're moving
everything out.
Copy !req
1185. Mr. Tarr here,
he's taking care of everything.
Copy !req
1186. I figure the Brecken show
is going to make us too hot
Copy !req
1187. but this,
Copy !req
1188. this is what
all of us eat.
Copy !req
1189. All of us,
is how many?
Copy !req
1190. Well, our own little cell,
60, 70 souls
Copy !req
1191. but around the world,
our network is vast.
Copy !req
1192. And, really,
the number's unknowable.
Copy !req
1193. And everybody's had
the same elaborate surgery?
Copy !req
1194. Tarr.
Copy !req
1195. Everyone around the world,
yes.
Copy !req
1196. The procedures were developed
over years of collaboration.
Copy !req
1197. There are variations,
of course.
Copy !req
1198. Culturally unique
versions.
Copy !req
1199. And you did it
because?
Copy !req
1200. Because our bodies
were telling us
Copy !req
1201. it was time
to change, yes?
Copy !req
1202. Time for human evolution
to sync up
Copy !req
1203. with human technology.
Copy !req
1204. We've got to start feeding on
our own industrial waste.
Copy !req
1205. It's our destiny.
Copy !req
1206. The end result
is you can't eat food.
Copy !req
1207. Well, we eat
modern food.
Copy !req
1208. We eat
plastic.
Copy !req
1209. And that's what
we like to call it.
Copy !req
1210. And Brecken?
Copy !req
1211. Brecken.
Copy !req
1212. Brecken was
the first-born.
Copy !req
1213. The first to be born
with a plastic...
Copy !req
1214. processing
digestive system.
Copy !req
1215. To be...
Copy !req
1216. naturally
unnatural.
Copy !req
1217. - She hated us.
- Djuna hated us.
Copy !req
1218. She stole Brecken
away from us.
Copy !req
1219. She never really understood
what a gem her kid was.
Copy !req
1220. She— she
couldn't handle it.
Copy !req
1221. He really
must have been a gem,
Copy !req
1222. because what you're saying
sounds insane to me.
Copy !req
1223. Why?
Copy !req
1224. Well, you're saying
your surgery,
Copy !req
1225. the surgery that
made you plastic eaters,
Copy !req
1226. was somehow replicated
genetically in your son?
Copy !req
1227. That surgically acquired
characteristics
Copy !req
1228. became
inheritable?
Copy !req
1229. You cut off
your little finger
Copy !req
1230. and your kids are born
without little fingers?
Copy !req
1231. Brecken was
our miracle child.
Copy !req
1232. He was everything
we all wanted to be.
Copy !req
1233. That's all
I can say.
Copy !req
1234. Can't say
I understand the process.
Copy !req
1235. But why
a Brecken show?
Copy !req
1236. Because I wanted to, someday,
present my son to the world.
Copy !req
1237. I wanted
to show the world
Copy !req
1238. that the future
of humanity existed
Copy !req
1239. and was good.
Copy !req
1240. Was at peace and harmony
with the techno world
Copy !req
1241. that we've created.
Copy !req
1242. Now, all I can do
is present the reality
Copy !req
1243. of his dead little body
as a promise of that future.
Copy !req
1244. I don't know
what we'll see.
Copy !req
1245. But I know
he'll be beautiful.
Copy !req
1246. Sweet and real
Copy !req
1247. and beautiful.
Copy !req
1248. Sorry, I gotta...
Copy !req
1249. I didn't expect
you to be here.
Copy !req
1250. - Hm.
- Couldn't keep away, huh?
Copy !req
1251. Guess not.
Copy !req
1252. Special event.
Copy !req
1253. Mm-hm.
Copy !req
1254. Worth the risk.
Copy !req
1255. We've all wanted to see
an autopsy, haven't we?
Copy !req
1256. We've all felt
that the body was empty,
Copy !req
1257. empty of meaning
Copy !req
1258. and we've wanted
to confirm that,
Copy !req
1259. so that we could fill it
with meaning.
Copy !req
1260. Autopsia means
Copy !req
1261. the seeing
for oneself.
Copy !req
1262. Why First Autopsy?
Copy !req
1263. Because
we know
Copy !req
1264. there'll have to be
a Second Autopsy.
Copy !req
1265. If you want to do
an autopsy,
Copy !req
1266. you need
a corpse.
Copy !req
1267. Corporeal,
Copy !req
1268. incorporate,
Copy !req
1269. corpulent.
Copy !req
1270. Body words.
Copy !req
1271. Fleshy
words.
Copy !req
1272. Brecken
is our corpse.
Copy !req
1273. Brecken
was a young boy
Copy !req
1274. who was murdered
by his mother
Copy !req
1275. because of what was hidden
in his body.
Copy !req
1276. Because of the meaning
that was there.
Copy !req
1277. For her, the body
was not empty of meaning.
Copy !req
1278. And now
Copy !req
1279. let us dive deep
into the body of Brecken
Copy !req
1280. and,
like professors
Copy !req
1281. of literature,
Copy !req
1282. search for the
meaning
Copy !req
1283. that lies
locked
Copy !req
1284. in the poem
Copy !req
1285. that was
Brecken.
Copy !req
1286. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
1287. Oh.
Copy !req
1288. So, we see
Copy !req
1289. that the
crudeness
Copy !req
1290. and the
desperation
Copy !req
1291. and the ugliness
of the world
Copy !req
1292. has seeped
inside even
Copy !req
1293. our youngest
and most beautiful.
Copy !req
1294. And we see that the world
is killing our children
Copy !req
1295. from the
inside out.
Copy !req
1296. Here we have the anatomy
of today's pathology.
Copy !req
1297. And we know now why
we'll have a Second Autopsy,
Copy !req
1298. and a Third.
Copy !req
1299. We know
Copy !req
1300. that we'll
have to keep...
Copy !req
1301. diving back
deep inside,
Copy !req
1302. hoping to find
a different answer.
Copy !req
1303. But for tonight,
Copy !req
1304. let us not be afraid
to map the chaos inside.
Copy !req
1305. Let us
create a map
Copy !req
1306. that will
guide us
Copy !req
1307. into the heart
of darkness.
Copy !req
1308. No, no, no.
Copy !req
1309. No, no, no,
no, no, no.
Copy !req
1310. That was
hideous.
Copy !req
1311. I feel
so awful.
Copy !req
1312. That's not what he was inside,
that's not what he was.
Copy !req
1313. She did this.
Copy !req
1314. - She?
- She, she, she.
Copy !req
1315. The ex-wife;
the mother of the cadaver.
Copy !req
1316. Djuna?
Copy !req
1317. No,
she didn't.
Copy !req
1318. She had
nothing to do with it.
Copy !req
1319. Of course
she did.
Copy !req
1320. What you saw in there,
that was her message to me,
Copy !req
1321. to me.
Copy !req
1322. No,
it wasn't.
Copy !req
1323. I have a feeling
she'd approve of this, though.
Copy !req
1324. I'm sorry
I'm late.
Copy !req
1325. Lots of meetings
these days.
Copy !req
1326. Hm...
Copy !req
1327. New Vice is getting
quite big, is it?
Copy !req
1328. It is now.
Copy !req
1329. A lot of people
running scared.
Copy !req
1330. So many plastic-eaters
running around with scalpels.
Copy !req
1331. Makes people
insecure.
Copy !req
1332. They're pretty good
with the scalpels,
Copy !req
1333. those plastic-eaters.
Copy !req
1334. Better than whoever
did that hack job
Copy !req
1335. on Brecken's
insides.
Copy !req
1336. Yeah,
so...
Copy !req
1337. Okay...
Copy !req
1338. Okay, we've got
a man inside.
Copy !req
1339. We got there
first.
Copy !req
1340. The kid was pretty weird
inside anyway.
Copy !req
1341. You wouldn't have
recognized a thing,
Copy !req
1342. but the
hell of it was that...
Copy !req
1343. it was
all natural.
Copy !req
1344. He was born
that way.
Copy !req
1345. You wouldn't want
everybody to know that.
Copy !req
1346. I couldn't.
Copy !req
1347. I couldn't
let that out.
Copy !req
1348. Once that got
out of the box,
Copy !req
1349. you would never be able
to put it back in.
Copy !req
1350. Your friend at the Registry
did the work.
Copy !req
1351. "Inspired
by Caprice."
Copy !req
1352. My friend?
Copy !req
1353. You mean,
Wippet?
Copy !req
1354. No, that strange
little woman.
Copy !req
1355. What's her name?
Copy !req
1356. Uh, Timlin.
Copy !req
1357. I wondered what she was doing
at the show.
Copy !req
1358. I guess she couldn't resist
checking out her work.
Copy !req
1359. She really wants to be
Caprice for you,
Copy !req
1360. if you know what
I mean.
Copy !req
1361. And I know
that you do.
Copy !req
1362. And Dotrice's
assassination?
Copy !req
1363. Assassination?
Copy !req
1364. Fancy word
for murder.
Copy !req
1365. He was
a leader.
Copy !req
1366. He had
a cause.
Copy !req
1367. Whatever it was,
it was a surprise to me too.
Copy !req
1368. You have a bad habit
of not telling me things.
Copy !req
1369. It makes it difficult
to function.
Copy !req
1370. I'm telling you,
we didn't know about it.
Copy !req
1371. Maybe...
Copy !req
1372. Maybe
Copy !req
1373. his crazy wife
got to him somehow.
Copy !req
1374. I don't know.
Copy !req
1375. No, no, no.
Copy !req
1376. Well, it doesn't matter
who killed him.
Copy !req
1377. It's going to make him
a martyr.
Copy !req
1378. Just what
the cause needs.
Copy !req
1379. The cause?
Copy !req
1380. Sounds like you are
becoming a believer.
Copy !req
1381. If you're going to be good
at living undercover,
Copy !req
1382. a part of you
has to believe.
Copy !req
1383. Saul!
Copy !req
1384. Saul!
Copy !req
1385. Oh...
Copy !req
1386. Uh!
Copy !req
1387. Uh, uh-uh.
Copy !req
1388. You are
in pain.
Copy !req
1389. Uh...
Copy !req
1390. Was I?
Copy !req
1391. What's it like?
Copy !req
1392. Physical pain?
Copy !req
1393. Yes.
Copy !req
1394. It's hard
to be clear about it.
Copy !req
1395. It becomes...
Copy !req
1396. part of
the dreaming.
Copy !req
1397. mixes with
Copy !req
1398. the emotional pain
of the dreaming,
Copy !req
1399. so it's-it's...
Copy !req
1400. It's confused.
Copy !req
1401. I...
Copy !req
1402. I almost
thought...
Copy !req
1403. I almost thought
I was...
Copy !req
1404. I was feeling.
Copy !req
1405. Ah.
Copy !req
1406. Ahh...
Copy !req
1407. Did you dream
about Dotrice?
Copy !req
1408. Dotrice...
Copy !req
1409. Djuna
and Brecken.
Copy !req
1410. They were all
in the Sark
Copy !req
1411. together.
Copy !req
1412. A family
autopsy.
Copy !req
1413. Who was
at the controls?
Copy !req
1414. You.
Copy !req
1415. And I.
Copy !req
1416. We both were.
Copy !req
1417. Well, Saul...
Copy !req
1418. what do you
think?
Copy !req
1419. - Yes.
- I think yes.
Copy !req
1420. It's time
to try it.
Copy !req
