- Stop. Change view. No good. Him. Good. Go back. Her. Advance. (CROWD GASPS) Yes. Him. Go. Good. I've seen enough. You're staring. Don't stare. - I've just never seen it done before. If I may ask... what's it like? Communing with Indra? What do you hear? - I need to speak with this Epsilon. - Speak with an Epsilon? - Not 'an' Epsilon. This Epsilon. - Of course. Well, he appears to be a C-Jack. - Nothing gets by you. - Thank you. - (GASPS) Told you. Here it comes. - Ow! - (CHUCKLES) - I think maybe you enjoy this more than you should. - (SIGHS) I like coming down here. All the sweet little faces discovering the system together. Learning how to fit. Everyone in their place. - Everybody happy now. - You say it like it's a bad thing. Don't take it for granted. These children will never know violence, prejudice. Wait for it, wait for it. - Ah! - (CHUCKLES) Told you. - (OVER SPEAKER) Lenina Crowne. - Shit. I'm late. You made me late. - You know, you don't have to go. - Why wouldn't I? Everyone's always talking about how thrilling it is. Justin says you can get right up close to them. - Yes, it's fascinating and wild, and that's really not the point. The point is, you want your first time to be a memory worth having. You make love at the Excelsion... to anyone, everyone. You visit the exhibitions... It's all very authentic. Very real. - I don't remember you ever going. - You can rest assured that when I do go it'll be with a proper Alpha, not Bernard Marx. - He's an Alpha Plus. - Everyone says his embryo was mishandled. He's no Plus. Probably not even an Alpha. - Who is 'everyone'? - I'm trying to give you some friendly advice. - Mm. Kind of you. I'll be sure to tell you all about it when I get back. (GENTLE MUSIC) - (WINCES) (AMBIENT MUSIC) - Sorry. - Ah. - Am I late? - Um, yes. You... Really, you are, but it doesn't... You look... - Thank you. So do you. - Oh, allow me to get these for you. - Sure. - Well, this will be fun. (GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS FAINTLY) You know, I... I love the Reclamation Centre at this time of day, don't you? All the colours. It's, um... it's the cremation process. The, uh, the red colour, I believe, is phosphorous. - Or it could be aerosol particles scattering off sunlight. Which happens when they're the same size as the wavelength of the radiation. The smoke's dense there. Do you see? Shorter wavelengths can't get through. No blues, no greens. All you see is what's left. The remaining light. Longer wavelengths. It's red. - Hm. Is it your first time? There's nothing to it. - (OVER SPEAKER) Flight time, 11 minutes, 37 seconds. - Come on, girls. (LAUGHS) - Excuse me. - (SCOFFS) Beta. - Did you see that? - Ah. Here we are. Every Alpha goes to the Savage Lands at that age. - Why? - To learn what's at stake. When you ask someone to care for the health of a society it, um... Well, it makes quite an impression to show them a dead one first. (LOW RUMBLE) - Whoa, wait, what is this? - (OVER SPEAKER) Stand by for launch. In four, three, two, one... (LOUD RUMBLE) - Bernard. (GASPS) (AMBIENT MUSIC) - We're out of range. There's no network. Nothing can reach up here. Not even Indra. You're gonna wanna feel this. - Stop. Stop it. (CHILDREN GIGGLE) Stop that, sit down. - These new ones do cause me some concern. - Amazing. It's amazing... Bernard, you must try this. - Um, maybe on the way back. Lenina, you have to come down now. - I'm flying! - And I see. But we are clearing apogee as we speak, and you really... Lenina, don't. - Sorry. (SOARING ORCHESTRAL MUSIC) - Lenina!

You ever lend money, goods, or other stuff to friends or family and they take their sweet time getting it back to you? Well, those days are over thanks to a nifty new gadget called the 'Thanks Buddy!' Here's how it works. Just give your buddy some money. Clip on the 'Thanks Buddy Responsibilibracelet' and set the timer. And forget about it! When your buddy gets you back, you simply punch in the code. And you're all square. Thanks, buddy! But let's say your buddy thinks he's a little slick. Well, then the 'Thanks Buddy!' has got you covered. (BRACELET BUZZES) (ZAPS) - (GROANS) - Thanks, Buddy! The guy who borrowed your rake? (ZAPS) - Ah! - Thanks, Buddy! Gave Mum 20 for groceries? (ZAPS) - I was watching that. - You were out late last night. You were with that girl. - We're not doing this. I have a lot of shit on my mind. - Mm. She's gonna lock you in that baby trap. You're gonna end up working for her fat daddy in his worm farm. Then what's gonna happen to me? Where am I gonna go? - You wanna go? Let's go. The truck's charged. We get in right now, drive a few hours, we could be in... - Where? The desert? Stranded? No roof? - There... There are places. - What places? Says who? - We're gonna die here! - Well, then... I might as well have a drink. - He's not coming back. He doesn't exist. - Shut your mouth. John. (DOG BARKS) - Everything you imagined? - (SCOFFS) How could I ever imagine this? - Shall we? It's, um... (LIFT DINGS, SOFT COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS) - Lenina. - Hm? It's a deer beast. They're hideous. - (CHUCKLES) - As if it's not hard enough scraping out some meagre existence in this place, you have to worry about being gored and eaten by one of those things. - Don't worry. I'll protect you. - (LAUGHS) Well, they're all gone now, thankfully so you're off the hook. The Savages saw to that. - Oh. It's a bit, um... It's a bit sad, isn't it? - They had to do something, didn't they? It said they fought them with everything they had. Their guns, their autocars. Whatever they could get their hands on. They're actually quite resilient people. - Sure, but... a whole species? - Bernard Marx? Is this her? - Ah, yes. Lenina Crowne. - How lovely. Welcome to the Savage Lands. I have these for you. - Thank you. - You just put it on there. - Allow me. - Now, I believe you're not scheduled to go into the park until tomorrow, correct? - Uh, yes. We thought we would take a bit of time check out the hotel, settle in. - Indeed, sir. Indeed. Outstanding. There are already a number of guests at the conjugal pool, if you` - Thank you. - Your guidebook. - Oh! (CHUCKLES) It's so quaint. - Yes. So, there are two tours each day. Morning, and... That's our afternoon tour, heading out in an hour or so. There are four houses to visit in the park. House of Want, House of Futility House of Consequence, and House of Monogamy. If you're staying a few days, by all means, see each and every one but if you're pressed for time, I recommend visiting Want and Consequence. - Not the others? - Each house provides an authentic and fascinating view into Savage life. But I do advise our more sensitive guests to avoid Monogamy. It's quite compelling, of course, but... challenging. - Thank you. - Listen to this. (READS) Among the Savage traditions still practiced today is 'saving oneself for marriage'. - For or from? - Listen. Males and females entering into monogamy voluntarily withhold sexual pleasure. - From each other? - From everyone. Anyone. Themselves, even. - That's cruel. Why? - Why? It doesn't say why. - Hm. - I suppose no one knows why. That's what makes it so... primitive and... and mysterious. - Here we are. 417. - (SIGHS) What's wrong with it? - Oh. Hold on. (BEEPS) - (CHUCKLES) Oh, Bernard. It's so authentic. They let you touch the skin of an ancient one! It's transparent, the skin. Pass on that. (ELECTRICITY CRACKLES) - This isn't right. This isn't right. - What do you mean? It's perfect. (MOANS) - Uh, your Soma fizz. Here you are, sir. - There's a view. And a smell. - We're on the wrong side. I specifically requested... Why does it never... - What's wrong? - Nothing. It's fine, forget it. - Well, it doesn't seem like there's` - It's nothing. Go read your book. It's ju` I just had... I just had it a certain way in my head, and... Now, it's just... On my teen Alpha trip, I just remember... it was a big room on the top floor facing the sunset. For all of us. And a whirling water tub on the balcony and... I don't know. I was young. - Bernard? - But there was. There was something about that view. Or that night, or... Maybe it was being out of New London for the first time, it just... It made us forget who we were. I was happy. I was... I was different. They were different. - Different how? - They were kind. - Did you know, before the monogamy... the females take the bride... to look at greased naked males? She's aroused, but... she doesn't touch. She can't. - You need to stop with that book. - And then, on the wedding night... after all that arousal... all that waiting... The female... gives her virginity to the male. - She does? - She does. - What's her virginity? - I have no idea. (GENTLE MUSIC) - What? What's wrong? - Oh, sorry. Where were we? - No. Tell me. Please. - It's just a silly idea. - Silly? - Well, maybe not silly. Maybe just more, um... naughty? Like, bad. - Go on. - What if we're not like everyone else, Bernard? Not here in this place. What if... what if we can be different here? I mean, I thought, what would happen if... if we... If we... - If we saved ourselves. It could... It could be... It could be... it could be our wedding night. - Oh, fuck. (ORCHESTRAL MUSIC) - We're Savages. - You will respond to the following question by stepping forward. Which of you touched the deceased Epsilon known as C-Jack-57? You will make yourself known. I don't understand. Epsilons are incapable of deception. - A virus enters a cell. That's how it begins. Once inside, it corrupts, changing its nature, altering its purpose. The virus spreads cell by cell, undetected... turning the body against itself, until... - I'm sorry, a what? - Virus. It's an old word. From before. - I see. What does it mean? - It means that perhaps our Epsilon is no longer an Epsilon. - Stand aside. Make way for World Controller Mond. - Tell them they may go. - All right, you Jacks get back to work. - Not you. What is our name? - C-Jack-60. - We touched the dead worker. Did we know the worker? - Yes. I knew him. - You're a bit different, aren't you? It's all right. You can tell me. Truth is, I'm a bit different too. - I wasn't... then... Now I am. - You changed? When you touched him? What happened to you? What did you feel? - I didn't. I don't. - Oh, I think you do. - Feel. I felt... him. - The worker? - My friend. - Did anyone else touch the body? I need to know. The Soma Man. (KNOCKS) - Hey! Sorry. Sorry, everybody. Apologies. Sorry. - Greetings and welcome to the Savage Lands Adventure! I'm Gamma Gracie, and I'll be your guide today. Before we get to the park, I have a couple bits of info to keep your visit fun, safe and Savage. (COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS) According to Savage lore, their culture dates back almost 200 years. When the inception of Indra allowed the civilised people of the world to form the World State the Savages chose to reject that destiny which is why they continue in their primitive existence to this day. (EERIE MUSIC) (EERIE MUSIC CONTINUES) - You didn't forget, did you? - Madysun. Hey. Oh, shit, right. Give me a second. (SIGHS) - It's gonna be a good crowd today. - That's great. That's great. Um... I need to talk to you about... - OK. Places in 20! - Fuck. - Find me after the show. - Hey. Why aren't you ready? She fucking loves me, man. Look, dude, I'm sorry about yesterday. You know, beaning you in the head and stuff. - Yeah. That's OK. - No, it's not. I mean, God damn it, I'm an artist, John. You know this. When things don't go right out there, I just... Can get a little... you know? - Right. - Hey. Look, man, there's nothing more dangerous than live theatre. OK? There's no net. You know, and I walk that wire because in the end I want the same thing you want. I just wanna show these people something true, right? - Uh-huh. - Anyway, you were just trying to do your job and I was out of line. So... I mean, fuck it, man. Come on. Let's have a good show. Come on. Mm. That feels good. Yeah. Oh, and one more thing. You go near my girl again, I'll fucking kill you. # La, la, la, la, la # La, la, la, la... # (PULSING MUSIC) - If I may direct your attention to the left side, I think I see... Yes! It's a complete unit. Now, we don't always see the females out like this in the daytime. Notice the distended abdomen? The infant will remain inside her for a few more months until it can fight its way out of her body. - Beta, get up. I can't see. You heard me. I asked your Beta to move. - I think the view's actually better up front. - No. I'm an Alpha. She's a Beta. She moves. - No, wait. Just... - Hey! - I'm sorry, what you were saying? - Give it back! - Give what back? - My level! Give it back, give it back! Don't look at me! - Bernard. Give it back. - Hey. Earn this.

But from Savage lore, we know that none were more important than the annual Day of Black. - Who are they? - They, um... They're part of it. - Ah! And what luck! These Savages have come to share their festival with us. - (OVER SPEAKER) Ladies and gentleman, please take your seats. Our show is about to commence. (CROWD CLAMOURS) (PEOPLE SCREAM) - Next stop, The House of Monogamy. Now the reasons behind the Savages' most primitive practice remain a mystery. But we do know that monogamy is an important tradition which allows the Savages to combine the core values of their culture. Ownership, competition jealousy and strife. And here we are. We do hope you enjoy the presentation. For those of you continuing on to the House of Consequence we'd like to remind you to please keep your hands and feet... - What's the House of Consequence? - Oh. It's called a prison. They, um... Yeah, they cut off part of their social body and keep it there. - Oh, fun fact! Outside of captivity, Savages are able to double or even triple their body mass with the consumption of food.

But` but he can be forgetful. - Can he? Well, I suppose he can, yes. He sent me to administer the park for one year. Seven years ago. (CHUCKLES) - Oh! - Yes. Well, I hope you enjoy your stay. - Oh, thank you very much. No, everything is just as I remember it. - Oh, good.

What does he do? - He oversees the transfer of ownership to assure that both sides are satisfied with the exchange. - Why does he wear that hat? - For safety. (CROWD APPLAUDS) - It's exactly as I remember it. They haven't changed a thing. - Why are the bridesmaids so angry? - Because they're next. - Come on, come on. - There's the father. - The second one I've seen today. - I know. They're everywhere here. - I knew that. I mean, it's one thing to know it, but to see it with your own eyes. - See, he gives her away to the, um... to the groom man. - Why? Doesn't he want her anymore? - Dearly beloved, we're gathered here today to join Petr and Madysun in monogamy. If there's any man here who has some reason why they shouldn't be joined together forever and ever without having anybody else, ever... let them speak now or forever hold their peace. - I do. (CROWD GASPS) - I have something to say. - Not you, Kvle the town outlaw. - Don't be monogamous with him, Madysun. Be monogamous with me. - This is jealousy. It will lead to violence. - Let him speak! I am the mother of the groom and we must know if she has no virginity to give! (CROWD MUTTERS) - Oh, Madysun. How many nights did I call out your name in the darkness? All those nights I spent in the cold cursing the day I left to seek my fortune. Hungry by the roadside, alone... staring at the moon, wondering, 'Is this her moon too?' Is there still some light we share? And I dreamed of you, my love. And that dream saved me. It kept me alive. And I wanted to give it a word, a name. What word do you call your salvation? Love? It's not enough... because some women carry the grace that requires metaphor. So I called it 'Moon'. And that's the name I'm gonna call that baby in your belly because I'm the one who put it there! (CROWD GASPS) - It's mine! It's my baby. - Like hell you will! I'll kill you first! (CROWD GASPS) - Jealousy! - Is this part of it? - Of course. - Fuck you! (CROWD SCREAMS) - I don't remember this. - They're not blanks! They're not blanks!

Come on, Bernard. (GUNSHOTS) (EERIE MUSIC) - Don't pity them. They don't deserve it. - They're dead. - You look at me. The outsiders, they took our land. They didn't take our dignity. It was traitors like these who gave it away. We didn't kill these people. These people were never alive. Are you alive, John? - (RETCHES) (COUGHS) - 22 on the bus. Seven dead. Two missing. I have people searching now. - They're not made for running. Take whatever folks you need. And go house to house... until you find them. They're going to listen now. I will not be ignored. But first, collaborators must be held to account. You get up! There is work to be done. You don't wash cars anymore. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) - (PANTS) No! Bernard. Bernard. Bernard... Bernard, please.
