[MUSIC]

Our American Republic is not all that different from old Rome.

Can we preserve our past and all its wondrous heritage?

Or will we too fall victim, like old Rome, to

the insatiable appetite for power of a few men?

[MUSIC]

Ten, stop!

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

I sing of Colossus and the history of man.

Let us go whither the omens of the gods and the inequity of our enemies calls us.

The dying is now cast.

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

Julia, come up.

We're going to go out again.

Call me later.

I hate and I love, but why do I so?

Perhaps you ask.

All right, let's go.

I think so.

Julia, get in the car.

All right.

Bye, Claudia.

Goodbye, my love.

You're not mad at me.

You can tell my daddy.

Let's go.

[SIRENS]

Mayor Cicero's financial problems are so huge

that only a federal bail out can solve them.

Julia.

[MUSIC]

[SIRENS]

Underpass.

Underpass.

Denisination is imminent.

Clear the area.

Repeat.

Clear the area.

[MUSIC]

Wait.

[MUSIC]

Go.

[MUSIC]

Wait.

[MUSIC]

Go.

[MUSIC]

This time you've gone too far, Catalina.

This site is under design authority jurisdiction.

What happens if you overstepped your mandate?

We'll apologize.

Apologize?

After the building's down, Mayor Cicero will be pissed.

[MUSIC]

Yes.

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

Recently elected new room, Mayor Cicero's poll numbers continue to drop.

Caesar, Catalina.

The Womblin crisis family wins a Nobel prize.

Revenge into the megalom.

A miracle building material.

[MUSIC] When does an empire die?

Does it collapse in one terrible moment?

No.

No.

But there comes a time when if people no longer

believe in it, then does an empire begin to die?

[MUSIC]

Our new mayor, Franklin Cicero, has inherited a nasty fiscal situation.

So now he is blamed for the firing of teachers, police, externities...

Design authority officers.

[MUSIC]

Hold please.

[MUSIC]

Uh-oh.

In hot financial news today, Krasas National is down 7 points.

I'm sorry, Ms. Well.

Mr. Caesar is unavailable just now.

I love you there.

I'll let him know.

Goodbye.

Well, fine.

It's your very own money-bunny giving you this floor from the trading room floor.

[MUSIC] Caesar gained to his side history's richest man.

His uncle, Krasas, who is here to support Caesar's vision of New Rome,

which was displeasing to marry Cicero, Caesar's bitter rifle.

[MUSIC]

Here we are, waiting above this model of the city over the design authority's

newly demolished site, which everyone is now claiming as their own.

Mr. Prince, come here!

Mr. Prince, come here!

Let me ask you a real question, okay?

Turn the cameras over.

Fuck the cars.

What is it like being rich?

What is it like?

Yeah.

Well, you can scare people.

You like to scare people?

Slavery, strange, plain boy.

Yay, boy.

No, sir, that's my sister who'd think it out.

Word has it, you're doing a little hanky-panky with your sister.

If it's true, stop it.

I thought a rule was wrong.

You could be the next nail in here.

You could be.

Claudio Krasas, culture the third.

But you never know.

Running a bank is no joke.

Come on, protect our family name.

Hey!

Hello!

Hello, hello, welcome, welcome, welcome, thank you, thank you.

The heartbeat of our golden city on the hill, envision what could be.

Upon Cassina, the latest in electronic being.

No construction delays of any kind or trouble from

the unions or the waterfront, thanks to the mayor.

You need me when you run some streets.

Oh, come on, come on.

Let's go.

To be or not to be?

That is the question.

Whether it is no blur in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous

fortune, or to take arms against or see your troubles, and by opposing end them.

To die.

To sleep no more.

And by a sleep, to say we end the heartache and the thousand natural shocks that

flesh is empty, is a consummation devoutly to be wished to die, to sleep.

To sleep?

A chance to dream?

Ah, there's the rub.

For in that sleep of death where dreams may

come, would we have shuffled off this mortal coil?

Must give us pause.

There's the respect that makes calamity of so long life.

What do you think we do here?

Wait it out.

Who would bear the whips and scorns of time?

He presses wrong.

The proud man's comfortably.

The pains of despised love, the laws delay, the insolence of

office, and the spurns of patient merit of the unworthy takes.

When he himself might as quiet as make with a bare vodka.

Where's my vodka?

As chairman of the design authority, my jurisdiction

covers parks and fairs. Please don't take a picture of that.

Thank you.

I can't. I'm sorry.

My jurisdiction covers parks and fairs, and we've

already issued the necessary bonds to develop this site.

The mayor's show for the honchos has become a battle for their attention,

especially with Caesar Catalina, whom I am

acquainted, denying my request for a comment.

I cleared this site to create something to inspire people.

People? One of you ever even cared about people, Catalina?

Here is my plan. A city that people can dream about.

People don't need dreams. They need teachers, sanitation, jobs.

The need is to create something that lives on after a city fair.

Mayor?

Which is why Megalopolis will be built

entirely out of the Megalon, which is imperishable.

The Megalon is unsafe. Concrete. Concrete. Concrete.

And steel. Steel. Steel is safe.

Imagine today's society, a branch of civilization, about to meet your dead end.

Humanity has an old tree with one misguided branch called Civilization.

Going nowhere.

I like trees as much as the next guy, but we're not here

to discuss trees. People need help, and they need it now.

No, don't let the now destroy the forever.

We are talking about people. People, Catalina, and how they live now.

With no time to talk of people's future?

Yet there's always time to convince them to use money they don't have to buy things

they don't need to imitate people they don't like.

Which makes you the chief slumlord and the mayor of the city of Nothing.

You call me that again, and I will smash your face.

Easy.

Were you so cool and collected when you

poisoned your wife and her body disappeared?

Is Megalon your miracle method made for my body? Is

your pores on the hope of a plastic curtain somewhere?

A wall panel? What really happened?

Well, you were the prosecuting DA, so you know I was acquitted.

And you're still a slumlord.

I am not a slumlord! You will not stand here and kill me!

You'll never have a slumlord! You will never call me that easy-eat prank!

Come help me!

All of you!

I'm so sorry!

Is that what we're playing? Are you okay?

Thank you!

I'm Ron Car

Ron and that is the score. Come for me on the

trading room floor every weekday at 9am. Mwah!

The great ladies of Rome obsessed over fashion while

having intimate dealings with the scum of the gladiatorial show.

Boisals and blackberries.

I really want to take you down for being so nasty to my father.

Oh, yeah, right?

Okay, we're gonna write a poison mat letter. I'm very, very good at that.

Kick his ass.

A devil?

Oh, yeah.

Give him a little mustard.

He's still kind of hot, though.

Who?

It's your cousin.

My cousin? Really?

You're bad.

I'm gonna swear that...

Fuck you.

I think I hate your brother. I do too.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Oh my God.

Oh my fucking God.

Yeah, I will. I fucking will.

I still have some powder on this.]

Have you no concept of time?

Oh, for God's sake, turn yourself off.

You were in that car and you didn't take my call.

I waited till I had good news to share.

Up your stupid megalopolis.

Well, it's the beginning of the discussions.

It means more to you than I do.

Conversation isn't enough.

It's the questions that lead it to the next step.

But initially, you have to have a conversation.

The city itself is immaterial, but they're talking about it for the first time.

And it's not just about us talking about it.

It's the need to talk about it.

It's as urgent to us as air and water.

Is it getting messier in here?

Mess? What mess?

Come on, you're an obsessive compulsive waggo, Caesar.

You're in all his hell.]

I, on the other hand, am oral as hell.

What about your bad habits?

I'm trying to approve.

Well, I'm bored being your mistress.

I need to be half of a power couple.

Which half?

Whichever half you want to put your giant foot on.

My career is beginning to slump.

My ratings are down.

And now, I need more.

Caesar. Caesar. Caesar.

I love you.

I love you with all my love.

Really, I do.

Never marry for love.

Caesar. Why would you say such a thing? Are you

trying to deflect for all my amorous behavior?]

No. I'm just trying to do a goddamn interview. Come on.

Is there anything that you don't have?

There certainly is, young lady.

There certainly is.

I'd like to see Dr. Catalina.]

About what?

The future of the world.

Oh. That.

[Bats, some sixth grader is here.]

Did she say I was told?

[She remembers your talk to her class because it got them out of gym.]

I know the one.

Okay. Don't have me send her up. What if what connects power also stores her?

What I did.

Thank you. I looked up at you all myself.

She's on her way up. She? She? What did you expect?

My great expectations?

Oh, no.

Holy Jesus Christ. Aren't you a big, big first sixth grader?]

I sent a letter to you last night. A, uh,

childish letter. And I want it back before you read it.

Childish.

No?

That one. May I have it, please? ]

Unfortunately, I have already read it, and yes, it was childish.

I had help, and we weren't in my minds.

But witty, I'd say. In a cruel and insulting way.

Well, I think the way you treat the mayor is cruel and insulting.

Defending your father is admirable, Julia Cicero.

It's delinquent as usual.

I'm turning over a new leaf. Don't mess with me.

I'm not messing. You're the one who came in disguise.

I finished a year of medical school.

One year of medical school? Were you kicked out?

I was not. I dropped out.

I wonder why.

I guess you could say my love of science

bumped up against a brick wall of intellectual vigor

on the subject of jellyfish.

Their mesogly material is a flexible skeleton. Unique.

I'm telling, countering something higher or most spiritual.

I hate the Megalon.

Well, look, a real Nobel Prize.

Expired.

Nobel Prizes don't expire.

I meant your medication.

What I'm curious about is the mayor's take on your absurd behavior.

You ask my father about people living as I do, and he's shocked.

What's shocking about you?

I want to be the Statue of Liberty.

I see.

The gossip columns say that you women...

You eat gossip columns whatever for?

To waste time.

You have so much of it, you can waste it.

Sometime. Oh, dear. Lots of empty bottles.

You know, I was reading about you last night where you said,

in order to understand time, consciousness,

courage, you must identify it in yourself.

You really must have been a rude and spoiled child.

As you are now?

So, do you still have your med school microscope?

No, I sold it when I dropped out.

To buy drugs.

So, Simon, of course.

And who supports your lifestyle now?

Daddy.

I hope I didn't ruin your breakfast.

Oh, come back.

What for?

Oh, for laughs, of course.

What else did you come here for?

I was trying to be a gold between.

You want to help me?

Yeah. And while I...

While I want to learn.

Anything one year of medical school entitles

you to plow for the riches of my Amazonian mind?

Entitles me?

Yes.

Entitles me?

Yes.

Entitles me?

Yes.

You have no idea about me.

You think I am nothing? Just a socialite?

No, not nothing, but I reserve my time for people who can

think about science and literature and architecture and art.

You find me cruel, selfish and unfeeling.

I am.

I work without caring what happens to either of us.

So, go back to the club, bear it all, and stalk the kind of people that you enjoy.

Fine. I will.

Come back when you have more time.

Yes.

I saw you change the laws of physics.

Could it be the great Caesar Catalina doesn't obey anything, not even tea symmetry?

What did you see?

I was hoping you'd tell me.

[Music]

Interesting.

Follow me.

[Music]

It is the daughter of his rival Cicero standing here,

the offspring of Caesar's opposition, and yet a lager.

This is it?

Walk into the future, with your eyes closed, and tell me what you see.

[Music]

I see everyone in their neighborhood, creating

together, learning together, perfecting body and mind.

And they're celebrating.

You can create a shelter.

[Music]

It's a perfect school city for its people, able to grow

along with it, just like great cities have always done.

What about those standing in your way, who like it the way it is?

Like your father?

[Music]

What, him? You're working for him?

Who can be their kid by dog? A traitor?

Daddy, please, you caught me to be true to myself.

So can't he live in the middle ages?

That man is a megalomaniac. He lures young

beautiful girls like you with his bullshit genius.

He destroys innocence, loveliness, and asks them what chignale it asks for, Marvel.

He's not as evil as you think.

There's something, something almost magical.

Hey ladies.

What's going on, sir?

What? You gonna stop the mayor's parade? You gotta be fucking kidding me.

This man is the bane of my existence. I want him out of my life.

He actually made sure I was him.

He drops you off?

[Music]

Soviet sapphires falling out of orbit in space.

And its nuclear fuel will scatter harmlessly over Labrador.

An earth-ore breathing nuclear-powered Soviet

sapphire will plunge through Earth's depths.

What's your name?

Huey.

Huey Pondeau?

The bust and the resential atmosphere of the

satellite nuclear fuel cells emergency management to serve.

Which way did Huey go?

Really?

Well, let's all go this way then.

[Music]

May 12th. Reviewing district attorney

Cicero's files regarding Catalina murder case.

[Music]

Any place in particular chief? Up time? Down time? Heaven? Or hell?

Purgatory.

Copy that.

You like ruins? You like going to Atlantic City? We got time.

We've always got time. Even if I don't understand it.

Tell him it's a funny thing to understand. Pass the

time. Find the time. Losing time. Time that flies.

I don't get it.

I don't get it. How is spying being ethical?

It's not spying. It's research.

[Music]

His wife's body completely vanished. How? Why? To where?

[Music]

Julia.

I love you, Julia.

[Music]

You can't cheat time and you can't beat time.

You can't touch it. Taste it. See it. Smell it.

Time stops for nobody and I mean nobody.

[Music]

Pull, pull, pull, pull, pull. Pull her out.

[Music] Surrounded by injustice. So much suffering.

Stop. Stop.

This doesn't make sense.

Caesar finds flowers. But for who?

[Music]

Okay, stop, stop.

[Music]

All right, breaks for you, chief.

Evening, Mr. Kathleen.

Hurry, wait for me, okay?

[Music]

He's still closer. He's still lost.

[Music]

Where's your girl?

Such are the mysteries of the human part.

Making it difficult for this historian to understand.

[Music]

What goes there?

Small stadium with a roof like gold tissue.

Tell me, of all the institutions your utopia

will preserve, which is the most important to you?

Marriage.

The wind blows across the Aegean, bringing what the

ancients learned from their ancients, the poetry of Cephal.

Some say cavalry and others claim infantry in the

fleet of long oars is the supreme site on Black Earth.

I say, it is the one you love.

Where stands the Colosseum, so stands Rome.

When the Colosseum falls, and Rome falls too.

When the Rome falls, the world falls with it.

My wedding gift to you.

[Music] Your folks are the richest grandkids of the notorious planets.

And so that, along with their tag-along brother, Claude Crassusvoltre,

they're the richest kids in the world. And

whoever has it, they're sleeping with each other too.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music] [Music]

Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, Vesta Sweetmawler.

Is it true, Vesta? Is your dress made of megalom?

Yes, the first one ever, designed by Caesar Catalina, just for little ole' me.

[Music] Millions of tiny cell cameras transmit what they see through to the other side.

I'm invisible!

[Music]

He used to be an Academy Cadet, now he's selling the fucking thing.

Ladies and gentlemen, and children of all

ages, welcome to this wonderful gathering,

in celebration of the marriage of our brother Crassus, and his wow of a bride.

Crassus Vang is saving our city from debt.

[Music]

Did you get a prenuptial agreement?

Always do.

What are you up to in this?

Paternity prank.

Did you get a prenup?

Well, I may be old, but I mustn't do it.

You can wire your marriage, but...

He's my gift to myself.

He cures my headaches and she keeps me young.

And I even live forever.

What do you do for the year?

There he is.

Hello, genius cousin.

Congratulations, uncle. You've chosen well.

Well, you would know.

I'd like to propose a toast to Wow Platinum and my dear Uncle Hamilton.

Together they represent the big three.

Economics, journalism, and sex appeal.

To the future of our family.

To the future of our business.

He said the only thing bigger than Hamilton Crassus' bank account is his prick.

Good evening, mother.

I think maybe alligators have the right idea.

What's that?

They think I'm...

How did you get the name Wow Platinum?

Is it Greek?

I picked it up at Penn Station on my way to an employment agency.

Oh, really?

Wow.

I can't trust you, sir.

You're the only one.

You are the winning champion.

Gaius Metallus!

These are his.

Oh, my favorite man in medicine.

And he.

You're avoiding the duty.

Listen, you're in aid to camp, not a mind book.

But once I can't lose, don't worry.

You're up the clock.

You're absolved.

Have a punch.

Why do you pretend you're so bad?

Well, if you pretend to be good, the world won't take you seriously.

But if you pretend to be bad...

They kill you.

The rest is coming.

Holy damn, you're against you.

Your against you is here.

Hi, I'm Nia Arpelos from High School's newspaper.

It's called the "Ding that News."

Is it better to look good, or is it better to just sound good?

I think both.

I'm a zoner.

Is Caesar Catalina sexy?

That is a big question.

I'm so jealous.

We call him Cenos.

I got my cell phone number.

Don't grab.

When did you smoke your first joint?

Never.

Your father hates Caesar.

Why work for him?

Is he your boss, or is he your boyfriend?

Uh...

Thank you very much, Your Majesty.

Your Highness, King, and we are in Sweden.

Thank you very much for having me from my understanding.

There's a buffet after this, so the faster I

can say my speech, the faster we can all eat.

What I like are those little hot dogs wrapped in the pastry.

I think that I can't remember the name of them right now.

Things in a blanket, that's what they call it.

Really, the Nobel Prize should be won for the person who invented those.

For God's sake, this discovery will change the world.

Nice jacket, Caesar.

Is that Baratha from Savile Row?

I don't touch it.

10.17 PM.

Drunk and stoned, Caesar doesn't know who he is for a few hours.

A moment of grace, perhaps.

Are they together?

No.

And with that womanizer?

Womanizer, that's an awful word.

As if the woman had nothing to do with it.

Look at that.

[MUSIC PLAYING] [CHEERING]

What if it's a light that can affect God?

And if from that flow such a way,

why can't we apply that power directly?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

From this moment forward, we perform without a net.

Look at that.

What if it's a light that can affect God?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[CHEERING] [MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

When we leap into the unknown, we prove we are free.

When we leap into the unknown, we prove we are free.

When we leap into the unknown, we prove we are free.

But if it's our mind that can affect God,

and if from that flow such a way,

why can't we apply that power to him?

If it's our mind that can affect God,

Who's in charge?

Right here, Mr. Crassus.

Well, hello.

So everyone can see.

For your time, huts.

Which of you will pledge a hundred times?

That is free to the city.

And your pledge to her goes through

You can see right through me!

Stay with that.

Stay with that, Jordan.

Ladies and gentlemen, wait, ladies and gentlemen.

One, two, three.

Test, mate, test, mate.

In heaven's name, Catalina, how long will you try our patience?

How long will this madness of yours cost us?

Hey, buddy, don't let me get over in the mirror

because it's not where it used to be.

Ha!

What depths of devastation will your unbridled destiny

curl this season?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh!

Ha!

Ha!

Ha!

Your sword is loud as fire with every sword

of scandalous life.

Every desire and wicked state our human imagination

can conceive.

Oh!

What times within this season

there is nothing that can give you satisfaction anymore

apart from your own degrading ban of hangers-on.

Does not the alarm of the people have any event upon you?

No man exists who does not hold you in detestation.

I hold you in detestation whenever the hell I've been.

Resign in disgrace, Catalina.

It is your only choice.

Step down now!

[CHEERING]

Catalina, any more time in this city.

There's a big sign nailed to you.

"City for sale."

Hey, see her?

He's sleeping.

He's sleeping, excuse me.

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

No, no, this is not--

Stop resisting!

Stop it!

Commissioner Bundy, take it easy.

Mr. Catalina is under arrest.

We'll be charges.

Unlawful intercourse with a minor estheticory rape

What are you talking about?

No, no, no.

Set up, OK?

Get your hands off him.

Get your hands off him.

Fuck you!

Julia, please get back on the ground.

Is this-- no.

OK, no.

This is not right.

Please, Julia.

Wait!

Julia.

It's not-- fuck you!

This is not right.

Julia, don't make it any worse.

This is wrong.

No!

Please--

You're wrong!

Yeah.

I don't trust her.

Wait, what's this over here?

Got it?

Yeah, right there.

Here it is.

Oh, Panko.

Panko, Festa.

Oh my God.

Oh, God.

She wasn't even born here.

She was born in Indonesia.

Huh.

Catalina is the guiltiest man, unhanged.

But that's Festa's birth certificate.

It exonerates him.

Legally, yes.

But not morally.

I didn't get another one.

Don't.

Julia.

I'm going to hell with the process.

Julia?

All the money in Rome couldn't get me to change my mind.

Julia.

Hi.

Come in.

I didn't get to speak with Mr. Kras this morning.

I love that sound.

Listen, bitch.

You and I ought to have an understanding.

You're not my territory now.

And you're going to play by my rules, okay?

One, Kras's is mine.

Two, a bank is mine.

And three, and this may come as a little surprise to you.

Right.

Caesar's mine.

And he has been for a long time.

I can't trust you.

Why not?

You've been attacking your cousin since you were six years old,

and I only hope you had nothing to do with that shit.

Of course not.

How--how could you say that?

So what happens now?

Am I off the list?

What list?

Your list of errors.

You're going to have to prove yourself to me, son.

And cut your hair.

[music]

Teen singing sensation Vesta Sweetwater, who

had marketed herself as being a 16-year-old

and the city's virgin sweetheart, is actually 23 years old,

the new Rome District Attorney announced today.

Forensic examination of the photos of sexual acts

revealed that they were doctored and not authentic.

[phone ringing]

Hello.

How do you feel today?

What great new ideas do you have?

I bet there's at least 50 of them.

[music]

Thorn.

Addiction, disgrace, scandal, and murder.

The charges against you were dropped.

I've lost my power.

[music]

I can't control time anymore.

Artists can never lose their control of time.

You taught me that.

How painters stop time, how architecture is frozen music,

how dancers combine time and space.

Musicians rhythmatize it, always sing it.

I didn't murder my wife.

My moods.

[music]

My mania.

And drove her to Newboulet.

I'm sure she was proud to be her wife.

[music]

Now. Time.

Stop.

Do it for me.

Try.

Stop time for me.

Try it.

[music]

Oh, give me time.

For Julia.

Just try.

Give me time to stop now.

[music]

I seem to have done it.

[music]

[sigh]

[music]

Dream?

The omens are bad, my love.

I was looking at the full moon

with a cloud that looked like hand-crabbed it.

Only those in a nightmare.

A capable of praise in the moonlight.

[music]

Poor Jimmy broke his leg in the door.

First Megalod's Flint by Julia.

The leg tissue will be fused with a Megalod in just a few weeks.

[music]

Make an interesting shape.

Try not to break the structure.

Within five minutes we should be able to get to a hospital,

to a theater, all within five minutes.

This is what I'm talking about.

We need to be interconnected.

Let's get out of the circle.

Let's take a picture of the front of the room.

These are legs, laces, heads.

Fastest ways through the stream.

[music]

Okay, next.

[music]

Try to maintain the shape.

[music]

[music]

I remember they rushed me to the hospital

because I had a tail for stomach ache instead.

What I had was you.

A genius son.

Mom, this is Julia.

Oh.

I wish I could have had a girl.

I could have gone shopping.

I could have had lunch.

Mom, Julia's a girl.

Instead, you were my great surprise.

And you go on and on and on and on and on, surprising everyone.

Huh?

Huh?

Despite what you think, I'm not crazy.

My voices say I'm safe.

Without that girl's love,

you're going to be a husband and a fake.

Like your father.

Do you know that there is string theory?

Do you know what that means?

That there are 11 dimensions.

It hasn't been proven yet, but that's what they think.

It's what it streams, you know?

Isn't that interesting?

You know, when you got that Nobel Prize,

why didn't you mention my name?

You could have gotten up and you could have said,

"To my mother."

I was very sick.

You could have said it.

I forgot.

I'm sorry.

I don't think so.

They don't know I'm your mother.

When you're with her,

you're finally able to forget me.

No.

No?

No?

No.

Oh!

What?

That hurt.

He hurt me.

You hurt me.

I was kissing your mother.

[music]

What a difference a day made.

Twenty-four little hours.

Water, the sun and the flowers.

[music]

I can't believe it.

[music]

[music]

[laughter]

That's it. That's it.

No, you were doing it. You were doing it.

I'm just doing a solo.

[screams]

[groans]

You've taken my life and turned it into something really beautiful.

And I can't create anything without you next to me.

Oh, I mean it.

You're the driving force behind everything.

My inspiration comes from you.

My clarity comes from you.

My patience comes from you.

If I can imitate just 10% of how you are in the world,

it would be a success.

I've never loved anybody like you.

I love you. I love you.

[crowd cheering]

[music]

Henry, what is this about?

Catalina leveled their fucking neighborhood for this stupid megalopolis.

He's an unelected monster.

We tore down our house, ripped off the roof, now we got no food.

We got nothing.

Fucking disgusting.

Here. Here. Take it.

[crowd cheering]

See this, this is power.

This is where you find it. You want power? You go public.

That's where the real power is.

And you'd be giving the city to a bunch of mongrels.

I mean, look at them. Look at them.

Not mongrels, immigrants. They're citizens, these people.

They believe in voting, you understand?

They hate Caesar, okay?

This is my chance to tear down this bullshit, my bloppards.

I'm a citizen. You're a citizen.

These people are just human garbage.

Get my money and get me to the front of them.

That's what you're doing. Yes?

Make way for Claudio.

All hail Claudio. Hail Claudio.

[crowd cheering]

[indistinct chatter]

Yeah?

Keep that.

Here, give him the mic.

I'll give it back to you.

I'll be okay.

I can't.

Hand this off.

I can't.

I see you, pal.

I see you.

Power to the people.

I'm here.

I can't oppose you and I'm here.

I see you.

Hands off their homes.

Hands off their homes.

Hands off their homes.

Sorry.

What is it?

Mr. Nusch Berman is here. He'd like him in and live your time.

I'll-- I'm not in the residence.

I'll see him in the banquet home.

Excuse me just one moment. I'll return soon.

Come back soon, Frankie.

So we're gonna go slow, quick, quick, slow, quick, quick, slow.

[drumming]

Slow, quick, quick, slow.

I'm worried that this kid Claudio is a

close friend of your, uh, your daughter, Julia.

He's no friend of Julia. He's an acquaintance.

And a bad influence.

He faked that video of Catalina somehow.

He's picking up a large, popular constituency.

He's some kind of genius. He can talk everything.

You have a business.

Okay. I'll fix it.

Just wanted to check with you first.

Because you know, uh, Julia?

I don't mind the lightning, but the vendor scares the shit out of me.

[dramatic music]

And--

Your Honor, you're never gonna believe this.

What?

You know that satellite that's coming down over Labrador?

Yes.

Well, it's not coming down over Labrador.

How-- how do I know?

Well, that's your sister. They don't know. Not exactly.

Well, when do we know what it-- what it is?

Yes, Your Honor.

That's too late.

I'm aware of that.

What do we do?

[dramatic music]

Where's you?

What?

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

Mr. Catalina, you said that as we jump into the future,

we should do so unafraid.

But what if when we do jump into the future,

there is something to be afraid of?

Well, there's nothing to be afraid of if you love, or have loved.

It's an unstoppable force. It's unbreakable.

It has no limits.

It's within us. It's around us.

And it's stretched throughout time.

It's nothing you can touch.

Yet it guides every decision that we make.

But we do have the obligation to each other to ask questions of one another.

What can we do?

Is this society, is this way we're living, the only one that's available to us?

And when we ask these questions,

when there's a dialogue about them,

that basically is a utopia.

[dramatic music]

Ralph Waldo Emerson said the end of the human race will be

that we'll eventually die of civilization.

But trend is not destiny.

Time.

Show me the future.

Together we'll discover new paths

which lead to the unknown world ahead of us.

[music]

[music]

You found me.

I have good news.

What's that? What's your good news?

No cigarettes.

Why is there lipstick on those cigarettes?

Are you really asking me?

Who's been in our home again?

I'm curious.

What do you do to this? Why do you do this?

Why do you use that great grain of yours that you put in?

Why do I use that great grain of mine that you put in?

[music]

Man of the future so possessed by the past.

It is important now more than ever before.

I know.

Oh.

Can you even guess?

No.

Can you see my eyes?

Resulted for drunken messing around.

A baby?

A baby.

A baby. Let's get married.

Married?

What is that? We can't get married.

I know. Of course we can. A baby.

No, these are good.

A lot of people with their unconscious.

You're already married.

Why didn't you and Sunny have children?

We were trying.

I'm sorry.

[music]

Anywhere a megalopolis, you'll be able to ride

one of these to a park in less than five minutes.

Would you like to try?

I would love to try. Would you? Thank you.

All this is just an exhibit, of course.

Frankie, come on.

Stick in the mud.

I mean, he comes up with magic.

Whenever he needs to sell something to the people.

Okey, okey, okey, okey, okey. Frankie, come on.

I'm from England.

Don't get it.

You will.

Plus, every adult, every single adult, will have a private, beautiful garden.

And I'll put this in the kitchen.

Welcome to our home.

Cards, what fun.

What should it be? Poke up.

Uh, nickel dime? I put beans on the table.

Utopias offer no ready-made solutions.

But they're not meant to offer solutions. They're meant to ask the right questions.

Yes, but utopias turn into dystopias.

So we should just accept this endless conflict that we live in now?

Wasn't it human friendliness that stimulated our brains by learning,

and enabled us to out-compete all other species on Earth?

Oh, dear, blah, blah, blah.

It's a nice picture, but how do we know?

Well, there's no other way.

How else could such a slow-maturing species make it through the Ice Age?

How could such few, weak, bipedal apes

evolve more costly brains, smarter brains, than other apes,

and do it without reproducing so slowly they go extinct?

We were fierce, aggressive, warlike,

as our closest ancestors, chimpanzees.

Yes, yes, but there were so few of us, and scattered across a vast continent.

So, no.

Then or out. Are we playing cards or reinventing history?

Where were we? This is an enormous part. Caesar's winning.

Civilization itself remains the great enemy of mankind.

Rousseau. You're quoting Patrick.

To be accurate, misquoting him.

Julius can quote anyone, humanly, please.

You remember.

I do remember.

Boys.

It is the responsibility of leadership to work intelligently with what is given.

And not waste time fantasizing about a

world of flawless people and perfect choices.

Marcus Aurelius.

Here, here. Excellent.

Don't say you're a philosophy daddy.

Embody it.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority.

But to escape.

Finding yourself in the ranks of the insane.

Marcus Aurelius.

The universe is change.

Our life is where our thoughts make it.

Marcus Aurelius.

Oh, Julius. There is no one like you. Having such beautiful things in your home.

And I understand it can expand as needed.

Oh, yes. Now that we're going to have a baby.

What?

Oh, darling.

If it's a girl, she'll be given the name Sunny Hope.

And if it's a boy, he'll be named Francis.

Oh, Julius.

Daddy.

Daddy, please.

Daddy, look at me.

In my eyes.

It's me.

Could I love someone evil?

[music]

Frankie.

Amor.

Daddy.

Daddy.

We fight for what we love.

But we don't always win.

Julia.

Caesar, I...

I just...

I'm breaking his heart.

So what do you want to do? Do you want to leave?

No.

It was a time of excess and greed.

No one was satisfied with the Senate.

And practically everyone contemplated the idea of change with pleasure.

I channel four reason.

I cross talk.

Good road.

Haul, Julius.

He has no boundaries.

And that's how you get into power. That makes a political leader.

A little crazy, no boundaries.

And he's an entertainer.

That old fool. Now she tried the most of you out of politics.

Hey, he dropped dead and I won.

Don't you see what we built? This is the dream.

The unwanted, the unneeded, the uneducated.

The power of the people. The power of the people!

The culture for the culture!

The culture for the culture!

Caesar's not a pleaser!

The culture for all of me. It's only me. No one else.

You can't name anyone else. It's just...

Caesar Catalina!

Who said that?

Caesar Catalina!

You shut the fuck up!

Will no one rid me of this fucking cousin?

Will no one rid me of this fucking cousin?

Stop. Go film them. Fuck Caesar! [ominous music]

Catalina.

This is an unexpected visit, Cicero.

Call me Frank.

It's not Frank, but really Frank. You know, like Sinatra.

Francis.

Francis? Is this design authority business?

There's something I need to say.

It's difficult.

May I?

I shall go on.

Please. I know I've attacked you.

Prosecute you.

But you can't begin to know what you only have means for me.

I'll give up.

Everything. Please.

Pass her by.

We both know what's best for her and the child.

Let Julia go. Think of her.

If you could make her feel you no longer love her...

I will put this in your hands.

It's my side. Confession.

[ominous music]

Evidence about your wife's body?

Now that Nurse Berman is dead, I can say it.

I was dishonest in my prosecution of you.

Now I can survive anything.

Just not her to know my complicity.

[ominous music]

This is your insurance policy.

Although I don't understand what you're doing,

I will support you.

Privately.

And publicly.

If you can do this for my family, we will always be grateful.

[ominous music]

I'll wait three days for you.

I'm so sorry.

There are only two things impossible to stare at very long.

The sun.

And your own soul.

[ominous music]

[ominous music]

Wow, where's your coat?

I waited with no coat because I knew you'd get it in yours.

I'd never be warm.

Ugh, ugh.

Smells of you.

Sandalwood.

Citrus.

Sweet male memories.

They can still all be yours, Caesar.

Me and Crass's bank, which I'll steal so I can give it to you.

[ominous music]

[ominous music]

I should really learn more about banking, dear.

I'm so bored all day.

That's no good.

And you want me to.

Aye, darling?

You want me to take over?

Yes.

Yes.

I'll start with Caesar's accounts.

Tonight on Crosstalk.

Is Megalon the path to a better life for you and your family?

Or is it the dream of an eccentric mad scientist that could kill us all?

On Crosstalk.

Megalon is from out of space.

Open your window, man.

I'll do what's happening in the streets.

A new revolution's issued in.

Sex, drugs, and Megalon.

Megalon's doesn't fit together.

The Megalon team does.

Unsafe by experts.

What are you doing?

What bullshit.

This is a construction site.

You can't park here.

Look!

No, it's in the well, man.

Let me go look in the...

Go, I'll go in there.

Okay, okay.

I have to get home soon to make dinner.

I'm just gonna go say hi.

I'll deal with this guy.

You, getting your car, you understand me, huh?

Hey!

Listen, you're getting your car moving.

Let's go.

Let's go, let's go.

Get in.

Let's go.

The mayor's waiting.

Can I have your autograph?

Of course you can.

What's your name?

Sam.

Sam?

I love that name, Sam.

It's to the point.

Caesar will never say no to a child.

Hey, who's new Sam?

How old are you, Sam?

I'm 12.

12?

I used to be 12.

Are you believing in that?

Do I look 12 now?

No.

Thank you, Sam.

All right, there you are, Sam.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

[crash]

No!

Boss!

Hey, hey, hey!

Stop it!

Boss?

Shh.

Shh.

Come on.

My thoughts.

My thoughts.

I will not let time have dominion over my thoughts!

[crash]

[dramatic music]

Let time, I will not let time have dominion over my thoughts.

I will not let time have dominion over my thoughts.

[crash]

[dramatic music]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Time to stop!

I'm here, my love.

I'm here with you.

Pentagon has no delineation, knows no boundaries.

The Pentagon will activate some of the signals

that will express genes.

Subatomic particles, atoms, all human connection.

Megalon refuses all forces to activate some of the signals

that will express genes.

We're doing study ops, DNA, doing

CSER to grow his face like a second scan from receptors.

Do you have the cells?

It is a leopard, sir.

We found a sample of sunnies here.

You'll find the great ones, our first of its kind,

bifibrid and living materials, combining man-made and matricorn

tissues.

The Megalon is the connection, the signal.

You think this is a joke?

You made him a martyr, you fucking idiot.

He's bad enough he won the Nobel,

now you've made him a martyr.

You're into ignorantness.

Six suppertarities!

[CRYING]

What's happening?

I'm here with you.

I knew this.

I knew this.

Shh.

Shh.

Stop giving me this.

I discovered the principal of Megalon.

I tried to say we're alive.

[SIGHS]

The red envelope, CSER.

The embodiment of all my desires and regrets were named Jane Doe.

My mania, my obsessions, my greatest loss, Jane Doe.

Condemned with the truth.

Truths found in the coldest, darkest morgue of our heart.

Be with her.

She came home with good news but saw something that

enrains to jealousy.

I followed, but I saw her drive over the bridge

and into the icy water.

And in that madness, they came to me.

I discovered the principal of Megalon,

trying to save and wife.

She said she had good news.

She said good news.

Her secret.

And then all was lost to me forever.

This is my heart.

[SIGHS]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no.

You're here to see Crass's?

Someone froze our accounts.

Someone's messing with the--

No, no, no, no, no.

I'll be in the car if you need me, OK?

You know, when I heard you were shot, I was pissed.

That I didn't get to do it myself.

Ah, it's a joke, but you never had a sense of humor.

I have a sense of humor,

and I have everything else that you have.

Brains, family, name, talent.

It's injected the wrong way, but I share your passions.

Creation.

Creation.

Destruction.

You know, your way, it's meticulous, and it's hygienic,

but it's fucking soulless.

And my way is real.

And I want it.

I want it all.

I want the moon.

And I'm gonna have it.

Claudio?

Creation.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Darling, what is it?

I can't see a frozen.

I'm in a position where I can do all kinds of things on my own, Caesar.

Oh, my God.

It can all be your season.

Everything.

Everything.

These don't even speak nothing to me.

Take me.

Take my love.

Caesar.

Come in. Come in, Caesar.

You gotta be careful, huh?

You just sit right here.

Oh, I came to ask why.

I would cancel frozen.

Frozen?

Must be a mistake, son.

Wow, do you know anything about this?

Moxie.

Uncle? Yes.

He remembers.

For your generosity.

Remembered.

I'm not going anywhere.

What's a seven-letter word for God's revenge on mankind?

Pandora.

Bingo.

Dewey.

Pick up my hat.

Pick up my hat.

Pick up my hat.

Going up?

Yes, we are.

We are going up, and they are going down.

We just have to get our affairs in order.

Tell all the little boys what to do.

One, two, three.

Yippee-yay.

Hello.

Do you like my outfit?

Yes, it's beautiful, wow.

Yes, Auntie, wow.

Yes, it's beautiful, Auntie, wow.

Does it make my ass look good?

I can't see.

Yes, it's beautiful, Auntie, wow.

Kiss her.

Grandpa Crassus is beginning to doubt that you're giving up on politics.

You are a very bad, bad boy.

But you're lucky, because Auntie, you're a very bad, bad boy.

Auntie, wow has come here to help you.

Are you lucky?

Yes.

Yes, what?

Yes, Auntie, wow.

What's that?

That's your pussy.

I said what is that?

That Caesar's megalopolis using up the city's power.

Think it's all over the city?

It's all over the city.

You want to fuck me?

I want to fuck you so bad, Auntie, wow.

Then take your pants off and get on the table.

Yes, Auntie, wow.

Now, your grandfather insisted on a

prenuptial agreement so that I can't inherit his bank.

Therefore, you and I are going to do a takeover.

You and your Auntie, wow.

And she knows how.

Yes, Auntie, wow.

What?

Juan, you will suggest to process that you become interim CEO of this bank,

that they dropped off a memo of his support,

and that you two work on a term sheet together.

You're going to work on a term sheet again tomorrow?

Yeah.

Do you want to say that?

You are too.

Now, you'll think that he's going to remain chairman and CEO.

No, you won't.

And keep you as interim CEO, too.

True.

When he does that, you're going to refuse, okay?

I'm so lonely.

Then all the friendly talks are going to fall apart.

Fall apart.

Okay.

You like obeying me, don't you?

Yes.

I come to ask if you consider saying you support my becoming interim CEO.

It cut your hair.

It didn't.

You may get an effort, huh?

Good.

Well, what I would need is I would need a memo from the

board group who's saying you support my becoming interim CEO.

You're a banker now.

Yeah.

I'm proud of you.

Yeah, I'll give you a title, teach you the game.

Wait.

This term sheet says that you would be interim CEO and chairman.

Well, yeah.

I mean, I don't know.

Interim CEO.

And I would retire.

It's not friendly.

This is hostile.

This is questuous.

Villainous!

I didn't mean it to be hostile.

Whose name is this?

I thought it was a level.

Whose name is this?

I think it's what you asked.

No!

No!

No!

Stay away from me!

No!

I'm dead!

God, it was you who gave me my fortune.

And it will be the will of Cronus to seek our revenge.

Let us fall in love again and scatter gold dust all over the world.

Let us become a new spring and feel the breeze drift in the heaven-set.

Let us dress the earthen green like the sap of a

young tree that the grace from within sustains us.

Let us carve gems out of our stormy hearts and let them light our path to love.

The glance of love is crystal clear and we are blessed by it.

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

Happy birthday to everyone, happy birthday to you!

Ok, gentlemen, deliver.

This is an inside table.

Begin.

Here we go.

She doesn't have to feel good.

That's for celebration?

Back out of my car.

Louis final, as of 11pm Eastern Standard Time.

Never did a war he's installed and left.

Big Louder, I'm hard of hearing.

The board has voted to remove the Office of CEO of Crassus National Bank.

I got the paper.

We got the bank.

They'll unleash the mob.

[Music]

[Speaking in French]

Be just.

Unless a kingdom tends to break the laws,

for sovereign power alone can justify the cause.

Where is Caesar now?

Where is this big law?

We've waited long enough, enough?

We don't fight like hell. We're going to lose our city.

We keep what's ours.

Caesar has failed.

Caesar has failed.

The city's ours.

I'm active. I'm active.

Murder and violence stops our streets.

We are here.

We are powerful.

And we are taking our country back.

Culture for the culture.

We are threatened by evil men.

New Rome, the greatest country the world has ever known,

is threatened by those men who propose to

take charge of the affairs of the government.

Fuck Caesar. Fuck the mayor.

And Fuck City Hall.

Back on the way to the invasion of City Hall.

[Music]

Commissioner, you're over here.

There's a train's coming.

[Music]

[Speaking in French]

[Music]

Where's this road?

[Music]

There's another car coming, right?

The mayor's extraction is underway.

Over.

Hi.

Hi.

[Music]

Me? Me, I'm

I'm

You're holding the future in your hands.

Don't you want a better world for her?

Caesar is a reckless dreamer who will destroy

the world sooner than he can build a better one.

[Music]

Can't you and I be like we were before?

Can we? Can we do that by little girl, by age?

[Music]

Trust us.

Trust me, Daddy.

[Music]

There's been some news.

Riders have been pushed back and the roads cleared.

Thank God.

[Music]

America, the master of the known world, is now cupboard.

I want to follow my lead.

Our poor Robin Hood.

He doesn't have much time left.

He wanted to see you.

Well, he's not wanting to give up on things.

He can barely speak.

We can't compare respects, Grandpa.

What do you think of this boner I got?

[Laughter]

When you look at her and I'm off.

If it wasn't for this, I would have been able to outspend you in the end.

But I will outlive you.

Wow.

You Wall Street snide.

This is your closing bell.

[Music]

[Music]

The gods have decreed that history teach us.

All that is needed is a slight push to send our Republic toppling.

For it is in the power of any daring man to overturn a sickly commonwealth.

[Music]

What he said.

What do we know of him?

His gods.

Liberty.

Love.

Kindness.

Mind.

Death.

Destiny.

Destiny.

I'm not concerned with my place in history.

What I am concerned about is time.

Consciousness and courage.

But what is time?

Except the courage, past and future around us.

His consciousness.

Except a burst of the soul from its own.
