All language subtitles for Tekwar s01e10 Carlottas Room

When will I see you again?

Whenever you want to.

I want you to come with me.

You know I can't leave my room, Dave.

Yes, you can.

We'll leave together.

Come here.

This is the only place we can be happy
together.

You have a life out there.

I don't care about that anymore. All I
care about is you. All I think about is

you.

No. No, wait.

Come back to me.

I'll be here.

Your time's up.

Have a good time?

I want to buy her from you.

Carlotta is copyrighted, Mr. Lane. She's
under license.

I'll pay the license fee. I'll give you
whatever you... You don't have enough

credit.

But there is something you could do.

What? The Assembly is voting on the
cyber property bill next week.

We'd like you to vote yes.

I can't do that.

It would mean... Let me put it another
way.

Vote yes or expect consequences.

My life is already in ruins.

I have nothing left.

You have Carlotta. Or rather, we have
her.

And if you refuse us, we can kill her.

I don't need you for this.

Why don't you take off?

Somebody's got to keep you on it.

Okay, Cardigan, you ready?

It's about time you showed up.

Thank you, Jake. You look lovely, too.

Hey, if I didn't think you looked
lovely, I wouldn't have asked you out in

first place.

This is an actual date.

Oh, no, I don't get time off for dates.
I'm calling this another case.

Definitely a case.

Now, how's the new boss?

Parker, don't get me started.

That's a management freak. Keeps talking
about running a tight ship, which of

course means he's afraid of making
weight. Plus, he's got me running

Hey, I'm glad I didn't get you started.

Okay, okay.

But, uh, vending helps, right?

Hey, you can gripe to me all night if
you want.

Jake. Hey, Dave, how are you? I'm glad
you're here.

Hey, Dave, I want you to meet a friend
of mine. This is Sam Houston.

Hi. David Lane.

One of the only guys who went to bat for
me when I was framed.

Jake, could we talk in private?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Sure.

You mind?

No problem. I can wait.

Monday.

Be back.

Yeah, but Fantasy Town is a licensed
house. I mean, how can they blackmail

with that?

You know as well as I do that it was
legalized for health and tax reasons.

A lot of people still find it socially
unacceptable.

Well, then go public.

Dorsen can't stand the light of day.

Call her bluff.

They'll kill Carlotta.

I thought this was virtual reality.

I've seen VR technology before, and
believe me, this is something else.

Well, tell me about it.

Her eyes.

They're so deep.

Consuming.

But there's a...

A sadness in there, too.

Talking about her like she's real.

Gotta find her, Jake.

What happens to me doesn't matter
anymore.

You're gonna save Carlotta.

I'll do what I can.

Well, sorry about messing up the dinner
plans.

Duty calls and all that.

Especially when it calls to Fantasy
Town. I can see how that might tip the

scales.

Hey, a job's a job.

Hey, I'm not kicking it. I'll jump at
any chance to do actual police work now

that Parker's in charge.

Got you new cover all set, Jake. You are
one Clive Ellison.

Politically influential, richer than
most countries, but morally bankrupt.

Sounds good to me.

Downloading the ID.

So I'll talk to you when I... Oh, no.

What? Did you forget to brush your
teeth?

No, you see that bouncer over there?

Had a run -in with that guy before. His
name is Lizette.

What are you doing?

Checking to see if the department has
any wants or warrants on which.

Bingo.

Like to avoid prosecution?

If he's wearing his flight ensemble.

Guess I'll be doing some traffic
control.

Come on.

Lizette, Lizette, Lizette.

Oh, no, no, no, no, officer.

Ce n 'est pas moi.

Lizette has done nothing wrong.

And what do you call jumping bail? I am
falsely accused.

You are under arrest. But my community
service work.

You.

You made me break a heel.

Oh, I'm sure you have others, Lisette.

Let's go.

You're welcome.

What else are you offering, sweetheart?

I'm looking for something new.

Well, check out the VR.

It's a state -of -the -art feel -o -rama
chip.

It'll melt your pants.

Well, that sounds good.

Hey,

handsome. My name's Babe.

You can choose from girls, boys, or
Android VR.

But the fun is never virtual at Fantasy
Town.

So what's your fantasy?

I want something I can't find in the
usual dive.

Girls, boys, or Android VR. So what's
your fantasy?

You have it pointed, handsome.

Retry or abort.

What's the matter? Didn't you like the
preview?

Well... VR sex is like taking a shower
with the water off.

Well, let's get wet.

Listen, why don't we get the madam, huh?

I want to find out about all my options.

What can I do for you, cowboy?

Don't you have a specialty of the house?

Specialties can be expensive.

From my experience, you get what you pay
for.

What kind of credits are we talking
about here?

I'm talking about this guy.

I think we can find something for you.

Now, what is this? The interrogation
suite?

Mr. Ellison is the gateway to heaven.

Well, I thought I made it perfectly
clear I don't do VR.

Pre -programmed, automated sex. Oh,
there's nothing pre -programmed or

about Carlotta, I assure you.

She's like no one you have ever had
before.

Try ten minutes.

On the house.

I'll tell you one thing.

Never do you get rich by turning down a
free lunch.

Oh, I wasn't expecting anyone.

To life.

To life.

You do seem pretty real.

Yeah, you too.

David was convinced.

Remember David?

Of course.

Well, he thought you actually existed.

Well, why wouldn't he?

I breathe.

Doth not a real woman breathe?

I feel pain.

I feel... happy.

If you are real, you mean hell prisoner.

What if I can help you leave?

Where would I go?

Well, that depends on where you came
from.

Now, if you are locked up in a room with
a VR helmet on your head, and your

memory is wiped... I have always been
here.

And I will always be here.

We are in this moment, you and I.

Time's up, Mr. Ellison.

Was she everything I promised?

And more.

That's why she's 5 ,000 credits per
hour.

Whoa. You think she isn't worth it?

Well, I think I'm going to have to sell
one of my islands.

Reserve her for the rest of the year.

Not a word about her, though, cowboy.

She's for special clients only.

Privacy.

Well, what have you decided?

Do you understand what you've done to
Carlotta?

How you've destroyed her life?

Yeah, I really feel bad about it. The
question is, how are you going to vote

next week?

People like you shouldn't be allowed to
exist.

You're sick.

You corrupt everything you touch.

You're now here.

You're doing this all wrong.

What are you doing?

Get away.

People are watching, baby. Don't show
your hand.

Just one witness sees you waste me.

You'd be throwing your life away.

My life's already in the toilet.

I just want to take you with me.

Go to hell.

What happened to him, Wayne?

Apparent mugging.

Who makes you think that?

His wallet was taken.

He was stabbed.

Are you aware that he's an assemblyman
with an important vote coming up?

Yeah. You're suggesting someone was
trying to alter the voting profile.

Yeah, I would call that a major
alteration.

I will consider your hypothesis.

Don't bother. I'm on the case.

Captain Parker assigned me the
investigation.

I will assemble the data.

Now, see, Winger's the kind of cop
Parker would love.

He's uninspired, methodical to a fault,
and he's not going to go around rocking

any boats.

Yeah, well, that's my job.

You think you can get me in to see
Lisette now?

I think you might be able to answer some
questions.

Yeah.

This is a lot more fun than a dinner
date.

But no, Sherry, how would I know who
killed him?

I was in jail when it happened.

Well, you're going to be going into a
deep freeze if you don't start answering

some questions.

Well, cooperate and I'll see what I can
do about the charges.

Good cop,

bad cop.

Good cop, bad cop. So tiresome.

But... I like the bad one.

Then tell me about Carlotta's room.

Carlotta, she pretty hot?

Is that she bet?

The boys go in there.

What do you mean, big boys?

And a judge, Harry. He went in, too.

A judge?

What judge?

The one with the garters under his robe.

But he was not as cute as you.

Lieutenant Houston, may I ask what you
are doing there? I'm interrogating a

possible witness, Captain Parker.

In relation to what case, please?

The David Lane murder. I'm interrogating
this witness for possible information

linking... Houston, you have no
authorization to make deals in this

In fact, why don't you report to my
office right now?

Yes, sir.

Well, I'll meet you back at Cosmos after
you're done.

I have nothing to say.

You bad man.

Sir? I thought you were in San Diablo
picking up a witness.

I'm going tomorrow.

Then shouldn't you be getting ready?
Ready for what? I get on a plane, I pick

him up, I come back.

Then what the hell's the idea of
roasting a two -credit punk like Lisette

middle of the night? I was following a
lead. That's what I do.

Well, you've already got an assignment,
so get on it.

Dismissed. Excuse me, but an assemblyman
is dead, and I have reason to believe

he was being blackmailed. Winger was on
that case, and I think he's quite

capable of handling it by himself. But I
have information. Then give Winger your

information.

What is this about, Captain?

It's about following orders.

Lieutenant Houston, your office informed
me you were here.

I'm following orders, Winger. I'm
putting together the evidence on the

Lane case just for you. I'm calling up
judges to see which one plays the

team.

My experience is that most human judges
would deny such a link.

Oh, they do.

I scan their vitals during denial,
though.

Any lies detected?

Zilch.

That's a negative, Linger. And you can
tell Parker I'm booked on the 10 o

to San Diablo.

10 -4.

That's a positive.

That's a laugh, Ryan.

Funny as a toaster.

What is it? Judge Harrison, I'm
Lieutenant Houston, investigating a

brothel by the name of Fantasy Town.

Yes.

What of it?

We're especially interested in a VR
prostitute called Carlotta.

What's that got to do with me?

Just checking to see if you had ever
sentenced her. I guess not. Thank you

much, Your Honor.

You're dishonoring me.

That guy is lying with every body
function he owns.

Okay, let's run a list to see his most
recent judicial rulings.

Can do that.

Your neurofeedback identiform EEG
calibration is now complete.

So how does the new toy work?

Well, the hologram changes facial
elements until there's a match with

image of Carlotta.

Then his EEG reacts to the match, and
the computer locks it down.

Sounds like a match.

She's a pretty girl.

More than that.

Nika, run an ID on the face.

Hold it. The data on Judge Harrison's
coming in.

reversed his own ruling on a toxic dump
case last month.

Toxic dump?

What does that have to do with the cyber
property bill they wanted your friend

to vote on?

Well, it depends on who benefits from
both Harrison's ruling and David's vote.

Nika, did you run a... Yeah, Nika run a
scan.

Nika run a correlation.

Nika run a mile and pick up my laundry.

No starch.

And I thank you for the incredibly
grateful depth of my worthless...

It's about time.

Carlisle Rossi.

Rossi? That doesn't ring a bell.

He's got his finger in banking, mining,
entertainment technologies, including

VR technologies.

That would give Rossi motive and means.

Subject's name is Madeline Kendall, born
2024.

Parents deceased.

Raised on a Christmas tree farm in
Queensport. No arrest.

Reported missing 2045.

Never found.

Kidnapped.

Made anything.

I think it's about time we let Carlotta
know who she really is.

I'll go downtown and check if Rossi is
on any of those federal lists.

Meet you in a few hours. Hey, don't you
have a plane to catch?

I, uh, got bumped, didn't I?

Yeah, I can do that.

Back again so soon?

You remember me.

How could I forget?

You're the philosopher.

Think any deep thoughts lately?

I'm not that deep.

What you see is what you get.

I like what I see.

So do I.

Prove something.

Well, I don't need a prison or a path.

Tell me about Queensborough.

I don't know that place.

You must have been there once.

Weren't you?

Weren't you?

No. What does it matter?

Everything that matters is how you feel
right now.

What you feel like doing tonight.

I want to talk to Madeline.

There's no Madeline here.

Only Carlotta.

Madeline Kendall?

No.

No.

I don't know.

Why are you doing this?

Just try to think, Madeline.

Just try to remember your childhood.

Go outside.

Look at the Christmas trees.

There's a light snow falling.

Smell the evergreens.

Remember, try to think.

It's great to be alive.

It's great to be alive.

Look around.

What is that place?

It's your home.

Can I... Can I go there?

can you do tell me about carlisle rossi

i can't picture who you mean no no

i want you to picture his face hear the
way he says his name

Please, don't make me look again.

Please.

I like it here.

I like it here.

I just want to dance.

You are not Carlotta. You're Madeline.
You've got a life.

People miss you.

Look.

Carlotta, be Madeline.

This is quite a letter of introduction.

You have some powerful friends.

Well, I am a very powerful friend, Mr.
Rossi. That's why I hope you'll take my

offer very seriously.

Well, I take every offer seriously.

What's yours?

Well, I've seen Carlotta.

And I'm interested in investing in the
product.

Carlotta.

What is Carlotta?

I'm talking about the most
sophisticated, erotic, virtual reality

experienced. Oh, how fortunate for you.

But I'm afraid I still don't know what
project you're referring to.

Carlotta's room?

Yeah.

Well, I hope you will consider my offer.

Well, if Carlotta's name ever comes up
again, I'll be sure to think of you.

I have a major gripe here, Mr. Rossi.
I've been waiting on this set half

for over three hours.

Carlisle Rossi, my dear.

Please.

You must forgive me for staring at your
eyes.

If you'll excuse me, Mr. Ellison.

Just what the hell do you think you're
up to? I'm investigating a blackmail and

a homicide. You've been waking up judges
all night. You missed a plane for the

case you were assigned to, and now
you're nosing around Carlisle Rossi, a

upstanding citizen.

A very upstanding citizen that owns a
virtual reality company that might be

into David Lane's murder.

Well, he also might be head of the
mayor's re -election campaign.

In fact, I think he is. Oh, so Rossi's
solid because he's the mayor's pal?

You call that good police work? It
smells like a cover -up to me. This is

cover -up. So what... Who do you call
it? I call it letting Winger do his job

and letting me do mine and you do yours
without going over the top. Following a

trail of evidence is hardly what I would
call going over the top. What evidence?

You've got no evidence. Well, let me get
some. No.

Fine. I quit.

I can't believe you quit the force.

I can't believe Parker rolled over for
the mayor like that.

I mean, I know the man's a bureaucrat
now, but he used to be a good cop.

You know, gasoline used to be legal.
Things change.

I want you to come to work for Cosmos.

Why not?

Really? Yeah.

You're like me. You like to do things
your own way.

Would they pair me with you?

I don't know.

Would you want him to?

I'll think about it.

So, how'd it go with Rothy?

He's our man, there's no doubt about it.

The question is how I get to him.

So he didn't go for the investment
scheme?

No, no. But that shook his tree, at
least.

You never know what'll fall out.

So what now?

Back to Carlotta.

Try to jog her memory.

See if I can follow through where
they're hiding her.

We need to talk.

You talk too much.

Trying to forget something?

I can't remember.

What are you staring at? I'm not a train
wreck.

Sorry, I can't turn away.

What do you want?

I want Madeline.

Well, Madeline's gone.

Let her go.

I can't do that.

And neither can you. Oh, yes, I can.

It's easy.

Just come here and give me a kiss.

I can be anyone you want me to be.

Just spare me Madeline.

I know it's hard to find her.

But you got to try.

You have no clue what you're asking me
to do.

You got to go through the bad stuff if
you want to get out the other side.

is no other side for me.

Let me talk to Madeline.

I'll never let him hurt you again.

Do it for me.

Okay.

Let's talk.

I'm Jay Cardigan.

Nice to meet you, Jay Cardigan.

Pleasure's all mine.

looking for you.

Well, here I am.

Where?

I'm not sure.

What does it look like?

What does it feel like?

Nothing.

Well, how did you get there?

They took me.

And you take me.

You mean we can go together?

You just hold on to me.

It's the only way to get home again.

What happened after that?

Don't stop.

Don't stop. You got to keep going.

I want to see everything.

I want to see every detail.

Madeline Kendall.

Madeline Kendall.

I'm sorry, there's no such person.

Well, there's got to be. She was here.
Can you go back a year?

I went back three years.

No MBAs, no admissions of any kind.

Okay, what about aliases? Patients too
out of it to give a name.

There was a young woman brought in two
months ago.

No name, car crash. It's the general
description you gave me.

That's her.

She did come here?

Yes, she was here briefly.

Briefly? Where was she taken?

She passed away, I'm afraid.

No way she's dead.

I'm sorry. I'm sure this must be a shock
to you. No, it's not a shock to me. I

just know that she's not dead. How did
she die?

Cerebral hemorrhage, subdural hematoma.

Who was her attending surgeon?

That would have been Dr.

Allen. And what's wrong with Dr. Allen?

He died himself the next week.

Drowned in his relaxation tank. It was
really quite a tragedy.

Not to say that your friend's death
wasn't, of course.

And what did they do with the body?

Cremated at first.

Now, why doesn't that surprise me?

Well, if you'll excuse me, I've got
patients waiting.

Thank you.

Oh, this has got to be a cut. Could be.

Everything fits.

Surgeon saves Madeline's life, and then
Rossi tries to fake the records.

Well, we still don't have any hard
evidence on Rossi's involvement, so...

And then he arranges the surgeon's
drowning.

Come on, that's a cover -up.

You look sad.

What is it?

It's hard to figure.

Say it.

Just say it.

Well, I talked to this doctor at
Hillside Hospital, and he told me that

Kendall's dead, but I don't believe him.

What if he's right?

Well, he can't be right.

Because I saw her here in this room.

Maybe because all that's left of her.

Carlotta in her pretty jail.

I can never leave here.

I can never touch a real human hand.

You gotta trust me on this one.

It's gonna be like walking on coals, but
we can do this together.

You're quite the valiant warrior, aren't
you?

I just think you deserve better.

So what are you doing here?

A doctor's not supposed to fall in love
with his patient, you know?

Maybe I am, I lie.

Maybe I shouldn't have dragged you
through this whole thing.

I have to know who I am now.

You've given me that.

Carlotta's not enough anymore.

The room's too small.

There's a whole world out there,
Madeline.

I don't want to meet you in it.

I want that, too.

That's the way the door numbers look in
this place.

This Ellison is persistent.

I'll say that for him. He claims he
wants to invest in the Carlotta project.

I think he's more trouble than he's
worth.

Open up. I know she's in there.

I want to buy in. I'm talking about now.

Take me off screen and deal with it.

Well, I want to check out my investment.

where someone's bills are short. Looks
like we're going to have to bring you in

on this deal whether we want to or not,
cowboy.

Well, looks that way.

I guess there's more to you than meets
the eye, Mr. Ellison. I actually less

most days of the week, but he tries
hard.

up this bunch.

Why don't you see what you can do in
there?

The joys of love are but a moment long,
Mr. Cardigan.

You kept her like this so you could use
her mind.

Wetware for VR programs.

She's not alive in the traditional
sense, though.

Brain preparation is the medical term.

It's all she'll ever be, really.

You are the lowest.

form of life, Dorothy.

And you are gonna pay.

I'm afraid you lack the evidence.

The only person who could tie me into
this was Honey, and she had the good

to die.

This is the way the world ends,
Cardigan.

Not with a bang, but a whimper.

Can you feel me?

I'm touching you. Can you feel my touch?

Jake, you touched me.

I felt you touch me.

I'm here.

I can still feel you.

I just let you go. I just walked away
and still be alive.

You think this isn't more human?

Don't be sad for me Jake.

There's nothing I could have done to
help her out.

You all right?

Yeah, I think so.

How about you?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You were too late in the day to save her
life, Jake.

It's not your fault.

You know, you make friends.

Most of it just flies by.

It's just gone.

There's only a few memories that really
take hold.

It's a face.

Or a thought.

I was just charging around like a hero.

You've got to learn that there's
consequences, that's all.

Yeah, one of which was you almost busted
Rossi.

Lowlife scum.

God's not going to be able to stay clean
forever.

One of these days he's going to screw up
and I'm going to be there to take him

down.

Mind if I join you?

I thought you quit the cop shop.

I thought you said there was an opening
at Cosmos.
