Electric City (2012) s01e08 Episode Script
The Time Has Come
Ever seen anything so elegant? I improved on your design.
The power draw is even less.
But I only see one unit.
Why!? Hey, you have to understand my problems with getting the parts.
Ugh! Biff, it looks like we'll have to rely on our other operators.
Who else you have making units for you? Why the X do you care!? Who's outside the door? Okay.
That settles it.
I'm never messing with you.
Remember you said that.
Here.
I heard it all.
Get lost.
What about these two? What about 'em? A regular, please.
We're planning to move there.
My father's just "My father's just earned enough green points to retire.
" "I don't want to be late.
" "See the lecture without me.
" "The new tap code is key 16.
" - There it is.
- Regular morning grain.
Jacobs! Eva Jacobs! Your first application? It's never been right for us until now.
I see you've got the proper credit.
My husband is a cutter with the textile guild.
The Morningside precinct has had open slots since the last count.
I would say your chances for a baby license are excellent.
There you are.
Tapping alone now.
What's the fun of that? Oh I'm just killing time until the most beautiful woman in the world comes home.
A baby license? Eva you wanna have a child? You'ddo that with me? Dick, we've already started.
The two bodies have been there a while.
No ID tags.
Dry mud on their boots means it could be corn farmers, came into the city on furlough and had a bad fate.
Why are you bothering me about a pair of dead farmhands? It's what we found, Commander Welles.
Glass and wire contact bulbs, stolen connection screws, copper wire on their persons and scattered in the dank hole they died in.
Okay.
Our farmhands were black marketers and now they're gone.
- Case closed? - Mm.
Now, I'm not sure what a "wave unit" does, but I can tell you they're already being traded on the street.
Find one.
Not just one of the units but the trader as well.
The time has come to ask a question we both knew was coming.
How do I get out of this racket? You can't.
I'm going to be a father and I believe that would expose me - expose us, the bond we share, to certain distractions.
Yes, family does hamper one's concentration and is certainly reason for you to be released from your duties.
What positive, glorious future you have.
The power draw is even less.
