All language subtitles for Welcome To Paradox - 01x08 - The Extra.eng

NARRATOR: In the city of
Betaville, in the near future,

the technology we
developed confronts us.

The science we
created seduces us.

But will our dreams of tomorrow
be turned into a nightmare?

Welcome to paradox.

[whoosh]

[theme music]

Be careful what you wish for.

Nothing is impossible anymore.

In Betaville, advances
in biotechnology

have turned the unthinkable
into the possible.

Cloning benefits a small
number of wealthy citizens,

men like Daniel Grey, assuring
them of replacement organs.

Because Daniel Grey doesn't
just want a new kidney--

he wants to be young again.

But there's a hefty
price to be paid--

[grunt]

--in more than just dollars.

[playing piano]

[chatter]

MAN 1: It's so lyrical.

MAN 2: It is incredible.

MAN 1: How does it come
out of Daniel Grey?

Everything's ready, Daniel.

They're all dressed?

DR. BEN POLARIS: Yes.

How do they look?

Confused about the occasion.

They're always confused.

That's the way it should be.

Hi.

Sarah Dale-- she
came to my party.

SARAH DALE: Terrence,
you look delicious.

[music playing]

I'm honored that such
a famous and beautiful--

Courtesan.

I was going to say actress.

Oh, just say slut,
like a man's man.

[laughter]

I'm honored that you
accepted my invitation.

Actually, I only accept
invitations from strangers

who give me candy.

[laughter]

And what, you may ask, is
the candy I've been offered?

Well, our host, Daniel Grey,
has a stable of extras--

a clutch of little
Daniel Greys--

clones.

Hmm.

And do they follow
you around in a line

like little yellow ducks?

Mama Sarah wants to know.

Please, they're all waiting
for you in the courtyard.

Right this way.

[music playing]

Reminds me of my first
trip to the petting

zoo when I was a girl.

I'll get you some peanuts
and feed them, if you like.

[laughs] Don't tempt me.

[chatter]

Ladies and gentlemen, may I
present my personal researcher,

Dr. Ben Polaris.

He will give you
the inside rundown.

Thank you.

Below us, all dressed for
the occasion-- and a little

nervous, I might add--

are the eight clones of
our host, Daniel Grey.

We have two seven-year-olds.

three 14-year-olds,
two 17-year-olds,

and the handsome
24-year-old we call C7.

And where are all the others?

You said you had scores of them.

Only the jewels for your eyes.

[chuckles] It's like
a family album, but all

the pictures of you are alive.

I love it.

We have, of course,
altered their minds

so they're unaware they'll
be used for spare body parts

and organs when the time comes.

They're slaves--
beautiful slaves

Sarah, don't rile them.

They are the slaves,
and I'm the dancing girl.

WOMAN: Why is she--

Remove the children, please.

This may not be a
good idea, Miss Dale.

Look, I think I'm
turning that one on.

WOMAN: I think he is turned on.

I think you'd better stop now.

What, will they revolt?

You excite us all
to rebellion, Sarah.

Well, I assume that's why
you invited me here tonight.

Look at you-- houses on every
continent, your own scientists,

enough spare body
parts for 10 lifetimes.

What more could you
possibly desire?

Just you, Sarah.

[chuckles]

I might be able to do
something about that,

in a roundabout sort of way.

When faced withtemptation, I always want

what I haven't tasted before--

that one.

[murmuring]

Mm, he's gorgeous.

And he looks, well, innocent.

I'll try him.

Why, when you can
have the original?

[laughs] Poor
Daniel, so complicated,

so intellectual, so--

Old?

I think corrupt was the
word I was looking for.

Oh.

Don't tell me
you're shocked that I

turn away from my own kind.

I mean, what else do we have
but our taste for the new?

You brought us
here to be shocked

and impressed by your extras.

Let's see if they can be
shocked and impressed by us.

Don't clean him up too much now.

I like them dirty.

[exclaiming and laughter]

This could be a disaster.

She's magnificent.

She should have
anything that she wants.

And so should I.

But this particular extra--

there's some data on him
I haven't shared with you.

Oh, and what's that?

C7 has an unusually
high intelligence level.

We can't account for it.

He's undergone the same genetic
engineering as all the others.

Good.

Maybe he'll have enough
sense to enjoy himself.

Hose him down.

[grunting]

For any of the extras to
have sex would be a trauma.

They are far more
sensitive than you realize.

But this one, he's--

Doctor-- I don't want to
hear about it right now.

What if he harms her?

What if she harms him?

I think that's the more
likely worry, don't you?

Relax, Ben.

We'll watch all this closely.

Guards will be on hand.

It's just that if--

No more.

If he harms her,
we'll destroy him.

If he enjoys himself, we'll
probably destroy him too.

Now come on.

I don't want to miss any
more of the preparation.

So tell me Dr. Polaris, what
do you think C7 is feeling now?

I don't know.

Exactly.

We don't know,
and we never will.

Even if he's an intelligent
brute, he's still a brute.

Mr. Grey.

Excellent.

So, my lucky clone--

what do you think?

What lies behind
those eyes of yours?

Is there something back there?

Some small spark
our Sarah detects?

Yes, you're almost me.

I had the same muscle
and bone when I was 24.

But I had also a mind.

You have nothing but luck--

more by far tonight than I have.

Get him out of here.

Sarah's waiting.

[piano music playing]

[chatter]

[door locks]

[music playing]

Come on in.

Don't be afraid.

The slave and the dancing girl.

Well now, I believe
you're glad to see me.

MAN 3: Look at that.

You'll be the student.

And I'll be the teacher.

And before long, you'll
want to tell me everything

there is to know about you.

[whispered conversations]

Seems to be a fast
learner, doesn't he?

Shut up.

I want her.

I want his body.

I want it all, Dr. Polaris, and
I know you can give it to me.

[chatter and birds chirping]

Bring me another pudding.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Grey is
actually proud of you.

He's also angry with you.

[beep]
[beep]

That's the kind of man he is.

What I don't know is
what kind of man you are.

[beep]

[beep]

I know you understand me.

I don't know how much, though.

[beep]

We're going to have to
run some more tests.

You and I are going
to communicate.

I know we can.

[birds chirping]

Pudding-- how quaint.

Helps me think.

I think I'm mad at you.

Oh.

Why?

Last night, when I was
with your beautiful slave,

I had the distinct impression
we were being watched.

It was a precaution.

Something could have gone wrong.

I wanted my guards
to be on hand.

Well, you didn't
exactly tell me that.

Is there something you
didn't want anyone to see?

No, I suppose not.

So how was I?

Extraordinary.

Hmm.

I love the morning.

But I see so few of them.

How would you like to
sell me your slave?

Sell him?

My extra?

Well, unless you'd
like to give him to me

as a token of your esteem.

Why take a clone when
you can have the original?

A man over 40--

even very powerful men
have a way of getting--

how shall I put this--

drowsy at the wrong moment.

Then it's his body.

Not only that.

There's something
alive about him.

Can you imagine?

Is that something your Dr.
Polaris cooked up in the lab?

I'll have to ask him.

Though, it is a problem
that he can't speak,

much less think.

Think about it.

What if I were C7?

What?

My brain in his body.

What on earth are
you talking about?

Please, Daniel, we
should be friends.

Tomorrow, in the city, I'm
having a little tea party,

and the reporters will be there.

But you could be too.

Would you?

If you want me to.

And Sarah, I want to be
much more than friends.

If I have to wait for
my gifts, so do you.

[music playing]

[grunt]

[grunt]

DR. BEN POLARIS: Remarkable.

[door unlocking]

I've just been monitoring C7.

You wouldn't believe
what just happened.

C7 is very much
on my mind, Polaris.

I want us to consider
a transplant.

[monitor shuts down]

Yes I suppose we could.

He's physically very strong,
but you don't have anything

wrong with you right now.

A brain transplant.

What?

They've been successful.

They're far too risky.

I know it's your
job to be cautious,

but in cases where the genes
are identical, isn't it true

the success rate is high?

Daniel, it could take months
of intense physiotherapy

to synchronize the new
brain with the body.

Sometimes it never works.

What about the case last year?

An ailing 50-year-old--
DR. BEN POLARIS: Yes--

--and his clone--

--but very successful,
Daniel, yes--

But in two months, he had all
five senses working perfectly,

all his memory, and
a new young physique.

Daniel, please-- we've
been friends for a long time.

It's not just Sarah Dale, if
that's what you're thinking.

Every man wants
to be young again.

I have the resources to do it.

I didn't mention Sarah Dale.

She said he
seemed alive to her.

Can you imagine?

I've heard there's
a team of surgeons

that specialize in
older recipients

and their young clones.

Yes.

That would be Caver.

You know him?

Daniel, I want you to
think this over for a while

I've lived my
life taking risks.

With other bodies
as insurance.

And C7, what happens to him?

What do you mean
what happens to him?

What do we have him for?

I'm not used to
outright killing.

So give him this body.

If he's so intelligent,
he can live

another 50 years inside it.

He could-- he can make a
few adjustments of his own.

A young brain seldom
does well in an older body.

Find a way.

You know this could be
a landmark case for you.

Yes, of course.

Find another job if
you really don't like it.

[grunts]

Guards, get to the mess hall.

There's a fight brewing.

[moaning]

You're something, C7.

You just might be the most
humane thing around here.

But you also might disappear
before we ever know you.

- Over here!
- Miss Dale!

- Miss Dale!
- Miss Dale, over here!

Right here.
- Answer one question.

One question!- Please, please, my dears.

One question at a time.
- Miss Dale--

Do you ever plan
to marry again?

Oh, no, darling.

I can't mate in captivity.

[laughter]

Miss Dale, exactly how
many husbands have you had?

Hmm, let's see.

How many husbands-- do you
mean apart from my own?

[laughter]

Rumor has it at
a recent party you

slept with an extra, a clone.

Any truth to that?

Well, doesn't everyone like
a little extra on the side?

REPORTER 1: I can't help
noticing that Daniel

Grey is at your side today.

Any significance to that
since the extra in question

belonged to him?
- I'm the next in line.

I would like to
state as a fact

that Daniel Grey has never been
and isn't one of my lovers.

He is my wise counselor and
friend, my guiding light.

Of course, I think we have
a date for later tonight.

And Mr. Grey, you say
you're next in line.

Does that mean
you want to become

a closer friend of Sarah Dale?

What man on the
planet wouldn't?

Miss Dale usually requires
some pretty expensive gifts.

Think you can afford it?

I'm saving up.

[laughter]

Actually, I can make an
extraordinary announcement

today.

I'm going to make
myself considerably

more desirable to Sarah--

irresistible, I hope.

I'm going to undergo
a brain transplant.

[gasps]REPORTER 2: A brain transplant?

Excuse me?

I'm risking my
life to offer Sarah

the body of a 24-year-old--

my own.

You're going to undergo
a brain transplant

for the love of Sarah Dale?

And I have no
doubt you'll report

it in exactly those words.

Any comment?

Well, uh, it's certainly one
of the most extraordinary gifts

I've ever been offered.

Will your own surgeons
perform the operation, Mr. Grey?

My personal physician
will assist Dr. Caver.

So I promise you there'll
be no complications.

All right, all right--
REPORTER 3: Miss Dale!

Miss Dale!
- --you sharks--

REPORTER 4: Miss Dale,
how do you feel about--

--I'm in need
of some narcotics

and an afternoon delight.

[laughter]

[murmuring]

I can't believe you'd
announce this in public.

I meant every word.

[sighs] You may be
the biggest fool of all.

You'll see.

Just wait.

You'll see.

[door unlocks]

I hope you like
your new quarters.

You'll be here from now on.

Real privacy, better food.

I also want to run a
few additional tests.

Do you understand?

Come with me.

Come on.

That's it.

A few more tests.

Ben Polaris, open.

[door unlocks]

If my guess is
right, you actually

understand most of what I say.

So don't be alarmed.

Please, sit.

[beep]

Your last test
revealed some very

sophisticated brain patterns.

I would just like
to confirm them.

I also want to assure you
you will not be harmed.

You know, a long time ago
there was a Greek physician

named Hippocrates who
made a promise to take

care of all his patients.

It's a promise
doctors still keep.

Of course, medicine and
surgeries continue to change.

We're faced with
dangerous new moralities--

the new brain transplant
procedures, for example.

[computing sounds]

One finds oneself tampering
with the unique qualities

of human personality.

Daniel Grey is a
highly educated man--

well-traveled, cultured,
very powerful--

whose life our world values.

If such a life can be extended
through various surgical

procedures, we believe--

[beeping]

--it should be.

[somber music playing]

This doesn't mean that
I won't take care of you

the best I can.

Speak to me.

Do you understand what
I'm trying to tell you?

I have no power.

I can only do what I can.

And me speak.

Yes, yes.

You speak very well.

We must speak together.

What will you do?

Of course, the portions of
the extra's brain responsible

for motor control, the endocrine
system, and all low-level

sensory data will be retained.

This will be a
partial transplant.

That's the keyword-- partial.

There's no reason
why a donor should

have to adjust to a new
body's basic life processes.

Our aim is to transplant
memory and personality alone.

Dr. Polaris, you will assist
with the computer work--

brain function
mapping, monitoring

the hormonal feedback loops.

If successful, our transplant
should take from the beginning,

without weeks or months of
extensive physiotherapy.

Then I'll be aware of
my new body immediately.

If we do it right--

and we will-- you
shouldn't have more

than a few hours of adjustment.

I understand you
have an extra online

who's in wonderful
physical condition.

Yes, that's right.

Well, then, there
shouldn't be any problem.

Follow our diet and our strict
instructions for a week.

Then let's get on with it.

Absolutely.

If your security men
can accompany me back

to the city, then, Mr.
Grey, I have an evening

appointment to catch.

Well, I'm sure
we have everything

you might possibly desire right
here at the villa, Doctor.

No doubt.

But I'm also a man
of many appetites.

Sometimes the city
is a necessary evil.

[sighs]

So how long have
you been able to talk?

I-- I think many years.

Yet you didn't.

Better for me.

And you learned
from the guards.

Even from me, I suppose.

The mind altering
drugs we give you--

why do you think they
don't affect you?

In sweets?

Yes.

In your food and desserts, yes.

Giving sweets to
guards and older clones.

You gave your drugs away.

For how long have
you been doing that?

Many years.

Now, please take children away.

Take the children extras away?

From the others?
- Yes.

Why?

Are they abused?

Harmed?

We don't see anything
on the monitors.

Please.

All right.

Anything else?

Give children this
good food, please.

Yes.

Their food can be improved, yes.

What else?

Where is she?

Who?

Sarah?

You want to see her?

Never.

DR. BEN POLARIS: Why?

Making sex while
others watch us.

Yes, yes.

I'm sorry.

I'm feeling--

I'm feeling--

Yes, I know how you must feel.

But now this room--

I'm thinking you're not
feeling very much for me.

We are going to operate, yes.

[somber music playing]

We're going to put some of your
master, Daniel Grey, into you.

Can you understand?

I won't be here.

You won't die.

You'll be in him.

You'll be all
right, just changed.

I'm not wanting to be
any part of Master Grey.

I'll take care of you.

Tell me word.

What?

You are saying physician.

Yes.

Greek physician promise.

Hippocrates, yes.
You remember.

Very good.

Doctor can have
more than one patient.

Oh, yes, of course.

A doctor can have several
patients-- many, many.

Am I your patient?

Yes.

Please keep your promise.

DANIEL GREY: I've been
trying to reach her all day.

I'll give her
the message, sir.

[video feed shuts down]

[remote clatters on table]

[plays piano]

[music playing faintly]

CONCIERGE: Dr. Caver--

Dr. Caver.

Everything ready in my suite?

Yes, but Dr. Caver,
the woman you requested

has been sent away.

On whose authority?

I'm afraid, Doctor, there's
another woman in your suite.

Good god, my wife?

Ah, no, sir.

Um, I don't believe so.

[shower running]

[faucet turns off]

Sarah.

Sarah Dale.

Last year in Cairo you
made me a very lewd offer.

I didn't refuse you.

Do you remember?

You ignored me.

You didn't even give me the
satisfaction of a reply.

I remember exactly
what you said.

"Sex is a very natural
and wholesome thing,

but only if it
isn't done right."

What do you want to now?

Dr. Caver, there are things
that I want that no man now

alive can give me.

I was hoping you might help.

[suspenseful music playing]

[panicked breathing]

Ben Polaris, open.

[computing sound]

Daniel Grey, open.

[computing sound]

[IN A DEEP VOICE]
Daniel Grey, open.

[door unlocks]

GUARD 1 [ON MONITOR]: Mr. Grey.

Mr. Grey.

[snorts]

Yes?

Sorry, sir, but C7 has
escaped from his room.

He can't get off the grounds.

Just catch him before he
hurts himself, understand?

GUARD 1 [ON MONITOR]: Yes, sir.

[running footsteps]

[rattling door]

[grunts]

He's in the lounge.

He just shut himself
inside with the children.

DANIEL GREY [ON COMLINK]: Don't
do anything until I get there.

Yes, sir.

We'll do that.

[grunts]

[grunts]

GUARD 2: Come here.

Look at them go.

So young and quick.

Too bad my guards aren't.

[beeping]

GUARD 2 [ON COMLINK]: I
think we have him now, sir.

Good.

Nothing violent.

Take him gently.

[panting]

[OUT OF BREATH] Come on.

Come on.

[grunting]

[groaning]

[gasping]

You didn't hurt him, did you?

He's subdued, but
perfectly all right, sir.

You're a beautiful thing.

Sarah Dale thinks so, so
you must be very beautiful.

But you're also a
pain in the ass.

Take him to the
operating theater.

Dr. Caver should be
arriving shortly.

[birds chirping]

[monitors beeping]

Sorry I'm late.

A little unexpected
preparation to attend to.

Ready, Polaris?

DANIEL GREY: I'm ready, Doctor.

Amaze me.

You understand now, Mr. Grey,
how we'll use both brains?

Keeping all the motor
responses and primitive--

Yes, yes, yes, yes,
I understand it all.

Daniel-- I want you to
reconsider this one last time.

Are you crazy?

I've never been so certain of
anything in my entire life.

You are undertaking
a dangerous transplant

because you're
obsessed with a woman.

That is hardly the reason to--

In my opinion,
Dr. Polaris, you

won't be half as useful
to me after the transplant

as you were before it.

Tell the truth-- are you
worried about me or my clone?

So, what are we waiting for?

Amaze me.

Amaze you?

Yes, absolutely.

I think we'll
definitely do that.

Just one minute, please.

What do you think
you're doing, Ben?

I don't think I can
go through with this.

Why?

Because of that
clone lying there?

Something special about
him I should be aware of?

What makes you say that?

If you don't go
through with this now,

I'll hold you up to ridicule at
every scientific organization

in the world.

Your research will
be as good as dead.

This is the opportunity
of a lifetime,

and I won't let
you throw it away.

You think I'm joking?

Begin all systems monitoring.

[computing sounds]

[suspenseful music playing]

[liquid bubbling]

[electronic whirring]

You have an arrogant
master, Dr. Polaris.

Let's amaze him.

[electric buzzing]

[laughter]

I can hardly wait to see him.

You say he's
perfectly all right?

Oh, I'd say so.

Wouldn't you, Doctor?

Oh, yes.

You know this has
made news everywhere.

I mean, what have you done
for me lately, darling?

Oh, changed my brain.

[laughter]

[door opens]

Here he comes.

Hello, everyone.

Leave me anything to eat?

Oh, no, no.
Please, please.

Come as you are.

No shirts allowed.

Mm.

Juice, Daniel?

Yes, please.

[juice pouring]

What are these?

Muffins.

DR. CAVER: It's a very good sign
that you have your appetite.

Did you dream last night?

Very good dreams.

Have I been to Venice?

Yes, you have, several times.

I thought so.

I dreamt of Venice.

SARAH DALE: I have access
to an apartment in Venice.

Let's go there, Daniel,
just the two of us.

About my name--

I was thinking, because
of this new body--

call me Carl.

SARAH DALE: The
apartment looks out

towards the Grand
Canal on one side

and toward the
Lido on the other.

So what do you think,
my brand new Carl?

I want you to
begin a new program

for the younger extras--

the children.

I want them to undergo a
genetic alteration and rehab.

Take them off all
medicines today,

and let's improve
their nutrition.

Yes, these muffins-- they'd
like these very much.

I'll see to all of it.

What about the others?

I haven't decided.

For the time being, keep
their dosages the same.

Well, I think it's
time for me to go.

I've enjoyed our weeks
together, Dr. Polaris.

I can see you'll be a great
help to our fine, new specimen.

An ingenious
transplant, Doctor--

opportunity of a lifetime,
just as you said.

And when may I have the
pleasure of your company

again, Sarah?

Well, if you loved me, you'd
create an extra or two for me

as a present.

Oh, but there can
only be one Sarah Dale.

Goodbye, Carl.

Goodbye, Doctor.

Thank you.

I'll see you out.

This way, please.

Venice anyone?

To tell you the truth,
Sarah, I don't think I really

want to go anywhere with you.

Don't you think that's
a little ungrateful?

How?

How do you think things
ended up the way they did?

How do you mean?

I sacrificed myself
to Dr. Caver for you.

So you owe me at
least a trip to Venice

or to some other
sunny spot where

we can take off all
our clothes and make

love on a beautiful balcony.

Sarah, you can have
almost any man you want.

Why bother with me?

[sighs] Well, I can see that I
may have designed you too well.

I should have kept
more of poor Daniel

after all, the way he wanted.

Then again, if I had,
I wouldn't have wanted

to spend any time with him.

You'll be all right.

Easy come, easy go.

Is that it?

Goodbye then, my C7.

Carl.

Carlo I think would be sexier.

[music playing]

[crickets chirping]

DR. BEN POLARIS: Am
I disturbing you?

Not at all, join me.

I was just thinking.

There are a million strange
thoughts in my head.

Yes, I bet there are.

You are C7, aren't you?

It really is true.

Yes, I think so.

Did Dr. Caver really change
the operation for Sarah Dale?

Dr. Caver assured
me the operation

was a complete success.

That's all I know.

The night's
beautiful, isn't it?

Yes, it is, and the
children are safe.

They had ice cream tonight.

Good.

I should be angry with
you for going through

with this operation,
but I'm not.

I'm not trying to
make excuses for myself,

but something about what
Caver said to me let me know.

I wonder, can you play?

I don't know.

I haven't tried.

[playing piano well]

Beautiful-- as though the
music is now where it belongs.

Perhaps maybe now's
a good time to check

on our poor Daniel Grey.

[piano music turns dark]

[door unlocks]

Hey there.

Look what I brought you.

[stuttering]

DR. BEN POLARIS: It's
your favorite pudding.

Good.

Everything is all right.

You can even have
seconds, if you want.

[grunts]

[suspenseful music]

Daniel Grey wanted to
be a young man again,

so he used technology to
create a new body for himself.
