00:00Previously on The Institute
00:19Look kid, you're pretty banged up
00:20We should probably get you to a doctor or a hospital
00:22No, no, no
00:22I don't have time for that
00:24I need to get to a place called the Red Steps
00:26Do you know it?
00:28I know how it sounds
00:29You think I'm having some sort of break with reality
00:32Or maybe the beginnings of schizophrenia
00:33I didn't say that
00:35I know Stackhouse is real
00:36The rest of it is a little weird
00:38Zeke, where exactly is the locator on Subject Dallas?
00:47What do you mean, ma'am?
00:48Show me him directly in front of you
00:49There's a chance
00:51If we bring the boy back quickly enough
00:55We never have to make the call
00:57If we bring him back alive
00:58Easy, easy
01:01Jeez
01:09This boy needs help
01:11What happened to him?
01:13Kid's got a flash drive
01:14Says it'll help back up his story
01:16Have eyes on the boy
01:19Some kind of video
01:25I guess we better watch it
01:27Shout, shout, shout, let it all out
01:45These are the things I can do without you
01:51Come on
01:52Come on
01:52I'm talking to you
01:56Come on
01:58In Valentine's
02:04You shouldn't have to sell your soul
02:10In black and white
02:12In black and white
02:13In black and white
02:15They really, really, really ought to know
02:21Shout, shout, let it all out
02:29Come on
02:30These are the things I can do without you
02:34Come on
02:35Come on
02:36I'm talking to you
02:39Come on
02:40Come on
02:41Come on
02:42Come on
02:43Come on
02:44Come on
02:45Oh, God
02:47I hope this works
02:59Oh, God, I hope this works.
03:13I'll never be strong enough to do this again.
03:17Look, if you're watching this,
03:21it means that you're out.
03:23And I'm dead.
03:27So...
03:28I'm going to hide this in my uniform.
03:34I made a hole.
03:38I'm going to record everything
03:39so you can show the world.
03:43My life story doesn't matter.
03:56I'm going to hell anyway.
03:58I knew that 20 years ago in Afghanistan.
04:05Just...
04:06I'm sorry it took me too long to see.
04:11You don't think of yourself as evil.
04:15It's still hard for me to believe what we've done.
04:17All in service to this thing they created.
04:23This machine they've made has needs.
04:26And, of course, the biggest need is a constant supply of children.
04:43Because back half uses them up.
04:52By the time they hit recovery, they're gone.
05:05Everything...
05:05Completely.
05:06Completely.
05:07Gorked, we say.
05:15Eventually they just forget to keep breathing.
05:23Recovery.
05:24We call it Gorky Park.
05:27Oh, my God.
05:30Sometimes, you just make jokes.
05:34Trying to stay sane.
05:37And this is where they all end up.
05:41Dust to dust.
05:49No one thinks of themselves as evil.
05:52Oh, my God.
06:05Oh, my God.
06:07Nobody should have to.
06:27Well, uh, now you know.
06:31What in the name of all that is holy did I just watch?
06:42Where the hell have you been, son?
07:00What's our ETA?
07:0130 minutes.
07:03Target confirmed?
07:04Yeah.
07:06Our asset says the boy is still inside the station.
07:10He neutralized one of Stackhouse's people already.
07:13Who?
07:15Uh, one of his sleepers.
07:17So we're going in hot?
07:18Yes.
07:19You're cleared to go in hot.
07:21Just recover the kid.
07:22Keep our asset in place.
07:23If there are problems?
07:26Then we deep clean.
07:28And just be aware.
07:31The Night Knocker's ex-army.
07:32He's going to be on high alert.
07:34Well, at least he won't be too smart.
07:37What does that mean?
07:39I just mean, like...
07:41Yeah.
07:42My dad's 26 years career army.
07:45He has a doctorate and three master's degrees.
07:48So...
07:48My friends are all still there.
07:53We need to hurry and we can save them, but we need to go now.
07:56Look around you, kid.
07:57This department is not built to hit a place like that.
07:59It's a hard target.
08:00You would need a SWAT team.
08:02Three...
08:02Every day, kids are dying.
08:03We can't waste more time.
08:05Everything happens if the chief goes in there with two officers.
08:08It's not just...
08:08Hello, chief?
08:09You back there?
08:10Hey, what's up with the phones?
08:12I heard...
08:12Drew, I need you to mind the shop.
08:16People are going to call about the cell service, the internet, and God knows what else.
08:19What's going on?
08:20You're in charge.
08:22Taking these two to Portland right now.
08:23I know the SAC down there, special agent in charge.
08:26He's a good guy.
08:26Rock solid.
08:28And this...
08:29Whatever the hell this is, I will tell you one thing.
08:31It is way above our purview here.
08:33Let's go.
08:34I can drive them, sir.
08:35I'm happy to go.
08:36No, you stay here.
08:37Get Wendy in.
08:38All hands on deck.
08:39Uh, yeah.
08:40Uh, chief, please.
08:41I...
08:42I don't want...
08:43Why don't I take them?
08:44I don't want to be in charge.
08:45What if there's an emergency?
08:46There's no comms?
08:47I won't be able to reach you.
08:47Get Wendy in.
08:48The two of you can handle it.
08:50I'm going to walk this in myself.
08:51They're not going to take you seriously otherwise.
08:55I'm going to get you some help, kid.
09:00Shit.
09:01Damn it.
09:02God damn.
09:05Don't fuck with me, Jameson.
09:07Don't fuck with me.
09:08Drew.
09:10Drew, I'm not going to fuck with you.
09:15I never meant to do that.
09:17I never meant to do that.
09:21Get his cuffs.
09:23Drew, just take a second and think about what...
09:25I have known the chief 20 years.
09:27And look what I just did to him.
09:28I've known you for how long?
09:30Two fucking months?
09:31Now get his cuffs.
09:32Now.
09:32All right.
09:33All right.
09:36Good.
09:38Now take the cuffs and lock the kid to the bench.
09:41He's the one they want.
09:43Now!
09:44Go!
09:44Go!
09:47I'm fucking around.
09:48I'm fucking around.
09:48Sorry, kid.
10:01Okay.
10:02Now.
10:03Be yourself.
10:04Next to him.
10:05So I can keep an eye on both of you.
10:07Do it right.
10:08I'm watching you.
10:09I'm watching you.
10:10Okay.
10:23Good.
10:24Good.
10:26Under control.
10:32This is Reynolds.
10:34I got them.
10:35Both of them?
10:37Yes.
10:37Excellent.
10:38Hang on.
10:44Yes, sir.
10:46We may just live through this yet.
10:49You wanted to see me.
10:50We're going to have to move the Dixon boy up.
10:52Quick and dirty.
10:53Use the tank.
10:54It's a bad idea.
10:56It's a terrible idea.
10:57He's too much of a wild card.
10:59He's so strong in some ways.
11:01I worry.
11:01We may have a keyhole in two hours.
11:03If we can't make it, there's going to be problems.
11:06Just do it.
11:07Now.
11:11You still there?
11:12I'm here.
11:15I have a team 20 minutes out.
11:17I need you to control the situation until they reinforce you.
11:21Yeah, I can do that.
11:23Now what?
11:24You wouldn't have a safety pin or a paper clip, would you?
11:28No.
11:28There was a bit of a complication.
11:34I had to...
11:35Chief Ashworth is dead.
11:40Understood.
11:41The team will take care of that.
11:43Okay.
11:44Now listen to me, Reynolds.
11:47Okay.
11:48I need you to lock down that place until backup arrives.
11:55No one in, no one out.
11:58I can't stress that enough.
12:00Lock it down.
12:01No one is going anywhere.
12:05Yeah, I understand.
12:06Long down.
12:06Yeah.
12:07Try it over.
12:09Sure.
12:10ETA, 20 minutes.
12:1220 minutes.
12:13Done.
12:14I will, uh...
12:15Yeah.
12:15I'll wait here.
12:18Just send them to the side door and I'll let them in.
12:23Let's hang tight, okay?
12:25Let's hang tight.
12:26You don't want to do this.
12:27Well, it's a bit late for that, Tim.
12:28A day late and a dollar short for that.
12:30You're making a huge fucking mistake, man.
12:34I can't look at this shit anymore.
12:40Oh.
12:45Oh.
12:46Oh.
12:46Oh.
12:48Shit.
12:50The drive thing.
12:52The fucking video's in his pocket.
12:54Shit.
13:02That, uh...
13:03That thing you did with the tree.
13:04You think you might be able to try it with those paper clips.
13:07No, no, no, I told you, I can't, I can't control that, okay?
13:10It happens when I'm upset or if I'm angry, but I...
13:12You better get the fucking upset, because if we die, then there's no one to blow the whistle
13:15and your fucking friends and your fucking friends are going to be stuck there, so just tell me.
13:21Are you doing it?
13:23Are you doing it?
13:35I can't.
13:36Come on, you've got this.
13:41One more time.
13:46Let's go.
13:47Fuck.
14:02Fuck.
14:07Fuck.
14:07Fuck.
14:07Fuck.
14:09Fuck.
14:09Oh, God damn it.
14:18Oh, shit, I have nothing to work with you.
14:34Get him!
14:39Couldn't get it a little closer, can you do it next time?
14:49Yeah, that's...
15:09About time.
15:25What? No. No, no, no, no. They were right here. They were cuffed right here.
15:41Get the car. Get the car!
15:57Couldn't have gone far.
15:59Fuck.
16:11Officer Jameson, my savior.
16:38I didn't realize you were out of the hospital.
16:41As I told my brother, WEC is its own medicine.
16:46Is there trouble?
16:49We need your help, sir.
16:51Of course.
16:52I owe you my life.
16:53Whatever I have is yours.
16:54Do you have a car on any chains?
16:57Or maybe a phone that works?
16:58My phone isn't WEC either.
17:00Why is that?
17:01What's going on?
17:02Shit.
17:03Titus?
17:04Yes, yes.
17:05This way.
17:06To the back.
17:07I'm the dead, I'm the dead.
17:14I didn't run back.
17:17You may need a wider cordon around the area.
17:29Hello there.
17:30Can I help you?
17:31We're looking for a boy, a young boy.
17:32It's possible he's being trafficked.

21:54Sure.
21:55Let's go.
21:56I guess I don't need to tell you what happens if that kid gets out of jail.
22:01We've got a jamming range.
22:03Manages to find someone who'll listen to a story.
22:08No.
22:11Upstairs, I'll send a burn team.
22:15Expunge us from the face of the earth.
22:17Delete our birth certificates.
22:19It'll be...
22:21I feel like we never existed.
22:25We'll catch them.
22:31What are we doing, ma'am?
22:36We need a plan. We can't just sneak around.
22:38This is the plan.
22:39Shh.
22:40We're cops.
22:41It's okay.
22:42I trust her.
22:46I trust her.
22:49I trust her.
22:51I trust her.
22:53I trust her.
22:55I trust her.
23:01I trust her.
23:04It's me.
23:27If you, uh...
23:29Is anything like this ever...
23:32No.
23:39It's remarkable.
23:43It's truly remarkable.
23:44It's remarkable.
23:57My friend, are you there?
23:59That's right. That's right.
24:01All right.
24:03Chief, this is Wendy.
24:05Mic check.
24:06Mic check.
24:11Denison PD.
24:12Mic check.
24:13Come back.
24:17Anyone, anyone, anyone.
24:19Signal check.
24:20Wendy.
24:21It's okay.
24:22It's okay.
24:23It's me.
24:24It's me.
24:25You nearly gave me a heart attack.
24:26Sorry.
24:27We're here.
24:28But we got no place else to go.
24:30What are you doing here?
24:31Who's this?
24:32Did you...
24:33God, did you hit him with my car?
24:34I don't know how to tell you this.
24:36Chief Ashworth is dead.
24:39What?
24:40Drew shot him.
24:41What are you talking about?
24:42I'm telling you that the Chief is dead.
24:44We are in trouble.
24:45And we need your help right now.
24:47Who is this?
24:52Reynolds.
24:53Yes.
24:54Find a place to pull over up ahead.
24:55And, and start thinking about where they might have gone.
24:58Who Jameson has that he still might trust.
25:01Okay.
25:02Got it.
25:03Yeah.
25:04You're going to pull over behind him.
25:05I'm going back to Denison.
25:06You keep going.
25:07Keep the pressure on.
25:08Drive him into the cordon.
25:10You're going back?
25:11Yeah.
25:13That clerk.
25:16Also, kids tend to hide when they're scared.
25:20Not run.
25:31What?
25:32What?
25:33What?
25:46Who amoh?
25:47You Chrys.
25:48Who's your?
25:49Oh?
25:50Who's your asshole?
25:51Hey!
25:52Who are those?
25:54Who's your asshole?
25:56Who are those?
25:57Looks like there's more to the article.
25:59You know, that's what loaded before I already dead.
26:02Tim says he's a person of interest.
26:05I was kidnapped.
26:07I'm so sorry, Luke.
26:10It's awful. Beyond.
26:13God, you need medical attention, psychological care,
26:17social services. What are you doing?
26:20I mean, this is, this is, you've got no legal...
26:22I had no choice, all right?
26:24If you had seen what was on that drive...
26:26The drive you left in the chief's pocket.
26:27The one that would prove everything.
26:29I know how it sounds.
26:30It sounds like Annie.
26:31Yeah, and they fucking killed Annie.
26:33Look, if none of this is real,
26:35who's jamming your communications?
26:38Landlines, internet, cell service,
26:40who can do all of that?
26:45Yeah. I just drove Fort Hill, checking the cell towers.
26:48They look fine.
26:50Also, all the radios aren't working.
26:52So what? So what? This is, this is them?
26:54All of it. Some kind of scrambler?
26:57Yeah, yeah, yeah, because that, that's what they do.
27:03I need to get him out of town, okay?
27:06And... Drew shot Ashworth.
27:11Drew shot Ashworth? Why?
27:13Yes.
27:14Because it makes sense to have one in the local cops, okay?
27:17Maybe more than one.
27:19Look, I don't understand at all, either.
27:21But you know, you know that reporter, Kate, whoever?
27:23Kate Nelson?
27:24She tried to kill us, too.
27:27No, no, no. That's true, okay?
27:29She worked for the institute.
27:31Okay? You have absolutely no reason to believe me.
27:35But we are telling you the truth.
27:47Yeah?
27:49What do you want?
27:50I understand. Dixon damaged the deprivation tank.
27:54Damaged? He blasted it apart.
27:57You have any idea what kind of TK power that requires?
28:02A full house on a sparkler night can't do that.
28:05It's orders of magnitude bigger than what we've seen.
28:09You told us TK was too weak to be weaponized.
28:13It always was. It's not just me.
28:15All of us. All the literature.
28:17No one has ever had a TK. That's wrong.
28:21Nothing could be verified.
28:23Of course, there were always rumors.
28:25Presents some intriguing new options.
28:28There's no options.
28:30We're simply not prepared to deal with that kind of power.
28:35Dixon's a time bomb.
28:37We can't leave him like this.
28:40Don't tell me liquidation.
28:46It would be safest.
28:49But no.
28:51At the moment we need him.
28:53So...
28:54We gork him.
28:56Immediately.
28:57He conducts tonight.
28:58Goes straight to recovery.
29:01He can power the hum indefinitely.
29:06The answer to our prayers.
29:16Hey.
29:21You better hurry up and eat.
29:23We'll shut him this up soon.
29:28Sparkle night.
29:32Here we go, Shaw.
29:34Here comes the airplane.
29:40Come on, Shaw.
29:41You can't do sparkler night on an empty stomach.
29:43Shit.
29:44You need to remind me.
29:45What's wrong with Kalisha?
29:46She's going, man.
29:47They're all gone.
29:48Then me and you...
29:49It works.
29:50Nikki, help me.
29:54Hold my hand.
29:55You need to remind me.
29:57You need to remind me.
29:58What's wrong with Kalisha?
29:59She's going then. They're all gone. And me, then you, it worked.
30:15Nikki, help me. Hold my hand. What do you want me to do?
30:21Just help me.
30:23Kaleesha. Can you hear me?
30:31Kaleesha.
30:33Kaleesha.
30:35Go away. I have to hide.
30:39Wake up, Kaleesha, please.
30:41Kaleesha?
30:43Please, Kaleesha.
30:45Kaleesha.
30:53Kaleesha.
31:05Hey, look who it is.
31:09It's apestick.
31:11You're a cypressorize.
31:13I missed you. I missed you, too.
31:15Kaleesha.
31:21Someone give me a smoke.
31:23Today.
31:31Sparkle night. Eat up.
31:37Did Luke escape?
31:39I felt it.
31:41Yeah, he's out. They're scared shitless.
31:45I thought so. I thought I felt him go.
31:47Fuck yeah.
31:53Can you talk to him?
31:55I can feel him sometimes.
31:57He's not strong enough to talk back to me.
32:01But me, I'm strong.
32:03I'm a lot stronger than they know.
32:05Strong enough to do something.
32:09We can't escape, Avery.
32:11I have the pieces.
32:13I don't know how to put them together.
32:25Uh, okay, so we are gonna run out of time.
32:27Because they, uh, they're not dumb.
32:29Just a minute.
32:31Alright, so we head out, stick to back roads.
32:33Boston. Montreal.
32:35Wendy, you in there?
32:37Wendy!
32:39Yeah, hold on!
32:41Let's go. No, no, no.
32:43Go on here. Go on here.
32:45Come on. We'll close it.
32:47You alright?
32:49Hold on!
32:53I'm coming.
32:55What's with the radios?
32:57Try changing the battery.
32:59What are you doing, Drew? What's going on?
33:01Sorry, who are you exactly?
33:03What do you need?
33:05Oh, the FBI doesn't care about warrants anymore?
33:09Your law enforcement shouldn't take a warrant to ensure your cooperation.
33:13With what? What are you doing, Drew?
33:15What's the last you hear from Tim Jameson?
33:19Tim, why is there something wrong?
33:21Afraid so.
33:23Last contacts.
33:25Last night he borrowed my car.
33:31Tell you why he needed it?
33:33Why are you asking me about Tim?
33:35He may have had a breakdown.
33:37Of some kind.
33:39A breakdown?
33:41A break with reality.
33:43There's substantial mental illness in his family history.
33:45How the fuck do you know that?
33:47Wendy.
33:49Tim shot Chief Ashworth.
33:51It's not possible.
33:53No way.
33:54It's true.
33:55We were just at the station.
33:57The Chief told you Tim shot him?
33:59Chief didn't tell us anything.
34:01Chief is dead.
34:03What?
34:05I'm sorry, Wendy.
34:07I'm really sorry.
34:09Oh, my God.
34:11Well, what's Amanda gonna do?
34:13This doesn't make any sense.
34:15Well, it's...
34:16He's the prime suspect at this point.
34:17I'm telling you, Wendy, I saw him on my way out this morning.
34:19It sounded like he'd been drinking Annie's Kool-Aid.
34:21Talking about astronauts.
34:23The hole in the moon.
34:24Well, I still don't believe it.
34:25That even if it's true, it doesn't change the fact that he's not in my fucking house.
34:28So if you two don't mind.
34:30Drew, get the fuck out.
34:32Drew, what the fuck are you doing?
34:39Hey, Drew.
34:44Hands.
34:45Let's not make this worse.
34:47It's already worse.
34:48Back up against the wall, both of you.
34:50Hands where I can see them.
34:52You won't.
34:56Sure, I will.
34:57Jesus, Tim.
34:58I told you, he's gone crazy.
34:59We have to do something.
35:00Shut up!
35:01Just shut up!
35:02You shot the Chief right in front of us.
35:05So don't fuck with me.
35:06It's her.
35:11The one I told you about.
35:13Mm-hmm.
35:14Look.
35:15I'm worried about you.
35:19Wendy, if you would mind taking these two into the other room, tying them up, relieving them of their weapons.
35:25Don't tell me you're buying this bullshit they're spinning. How long have we known each other? He snapped.
35:29Move.
35:30All right, all right, all right.
35:31There's no point arguing.
35:32Let's deescalate, right?
35:34Like they caught us.
35:35There.
35:36There.
35:37Come on, have everyone calm down.
35:39Let's, let's let Tim calm down.
35:42We'll sort all this out.
35:44Let's just, let's just not point guns at each other.
35:47Tim.
35:48Tim, look at me.
35:50Let me disarm both of you, okay?
35:52I'll establish chain of custody on Drew's sidearm, and forensics will show if it's what killed the Chief-
35:57There's not gonna be any forensics, right, Drew?
35:59I'm sure the Chief's body's already gone.
36:02So, I would be very happy to put this gun down just as soon as you disarm him and Miss FBI over there.
36:09She's not FBI.
36:13It's a good time to deescalate, like she said.
36:18Drew?
36:21Okay.
36:22Hey, hey, hey!
36:24Let her go!
36:25Let her go now!
36:26Let her go right now, man!
36:28Drew!
36:29Drew, Drew, Drew, Drew!
36:31Drew, Drew, Drew, Drew!
36:50Just give me a reason.
36:56Hm?
37:01I know this must feel like a very dark time for you.
37:15Come in.
37:17Come in.
37:31Come in.
37:35Clearly he's been telling you things.
37:36There's no shit.
37:37You killed Annie yourself.
37:38Tim.
37:39What?
37:40You killed Drew.
37:41He killed the Chief, and he just shot me.
37:42I know.
37:44Don't know if since we were kids.
37:46Mr. Jameson, I haven't killed anyone.
37:49You're making a huge mistake.
37:51And based on what?
37:52The words of a scared, confused child.
37:54Maureen made a video.
37:56Oh.
38:01Well...
38:03That's unfortunate.
38:04Why?
38:06It means we're all dead.
38:09Yeah?
38:16What was on this video?
38:17All of it.
38:19Your gorks.
38:21All of it.
38:22I think it went all the way through.
38:25Our movie's fine.
38:39All right.
38:40Let me take a look.
38:41I told him everything.
38:50No, you didn't.
38:52What does that mean?
38:54You don't know everything.
38:55I know what you do to us.
38:58Kids.
39:00Like me.
39:01Like Kalisha.
39:02Like Avery.
39:03And I know what you did to my parents.
39:05Yeah, but you don't know why.
39:08The smartest kid in the world doesn't think to ask why.
39:10What's to know?
39:12You're using us to commit the perfect crime.
39:16Murders with no physical evidence.
39:19You're a hit squad.
39:20You're assassins or whatever you want to call them.
39:22And you're the blind man who felt the tale and thought he could describe the whole elephant.
39:28We should just shoot her.
39:30It's not as easy as you think.
39:32She'll kill all of us if she can.
39:35No.
39:36Not all of you.
39:38What if I don't have to?
39:39Go ahead.
39:41Let's grab the elephant.
39:44What's the point?
39:47You're gonna kill me anyway.
39:49Not if I don't have to.
39:50I'm going for my cigarette.
39:55Yes.
39:57Yes, the Institute is involved in untraceable assassination.
40:00I told you.
40:01But the real question is who we target.
40:03Why does that matter?
40:04You think we do this for money?
40:05Or politics?
40:06You've seen the news about Senator Ramsey died in a small plane crash recently?
40:07Yeah, I heard that was you.
40:08Yeah.
40:10Ramses is what we call a hinge.
40:12Yes, the Institute is involved in untraceable assassination.
40:17I told you.
40:18But the real question is who we target.
40:20Why does that matter?
40:21You think we do this for money?
40:23Or politics?
40:26You've seen the news about Senator Ramsey
40:28died in a small plane crash recently.
40:30Yeah, I heard that was you.
40:32Yeah.
40:34Ramsey's what we call a hinge.
40:37If he'd lived nine years from now,
40:40he's secretary of defense,
40:43has a break with reality,
40:45convinces the president to hit North Korea.
40:48Limited nuclear strike.
40:50The problem is the missiles overfly Russian airspace.
40:54And Russian early warning systems are old and shitty.
41:00And from their screens, it looks like we're coming for them.
41:03They have moments to react. They launch.
41:06We have moments to react to that. We launch.
41:09Did you say nine years from now?
41:12Give or take.
41:13Uh-huh.
41:15I know.
41:16Hard to fathom.
41:17But I'm sure you've seen by now,
41:19Luke has some rare abilities, low level.
41:22But there's another ability, more rare, more important.
41:28Precognition.
41:29Like telling the future.
41:31The PC track.
41:33How rare?
41:36I'm not cleared to know how many we have at any given time.
41:40How many you have to do what?
41:43Find people who'll trigger Armageddon.
41:46Hinges, Tim.
41:48Very good.
41:50And once you've found one, you put together a target package and they turn over to you for elimination.
42:00Right?
42:01Since 1950, we've saved the world over 500 times.
42:08Yes.
42:09People have died.
42:10But billions have been saved.
42:11So you're the math whiz.
42:12You understand cost-benefit ratios.
42:13It's bullshit.
42:14It's fucking bullshit.
42:15What would you do?
42:16What would you do?
42:17What would you do?
42:18To save the world?
42:19Whatever it takes?
42:20Correct.
42:21I don't get to have crisis of conscience.
42:22I don't get to feel sad for some particular kid and his poor, particular grieving mommy or the mission fails and full nuclear exchange, $4 billion.
42:36people die in two hours.
42:37Within 10 years, throw in 99% of plants and animals, if you care about that kind of thing.
42:43Yeah.
42:44I don't get to have crisis of conscience.
42:45I don't get to feel sad for some particular kid and his poor, particular grieving mommy or the mission fails.
42:49And full nuclear exchange, $4 billion people die in two hours.
42:53Within 10 years, throw in 99% of plants and animals, if you care about that kind of thing.
43:04Yeah.
43:05You can see my thoughts.
43:10Am I lying?
43:15She's not lying.
43:17That just means she believes it.
43:20So tell me this.
43:22You really are saving the world.
43:25Want to do it out in the open?
43:27While the secrecy, why not?
43:28Let us all decide.
43:29We can't run that risk.
43:30You understand that.
43:32You shot a child in Boston.
43:34To prevent a massacre.
43:37You walk out of here with Luke Ellis?
43:39Putting the entire world on suicide watch.
43:43Suicide watch.
43:44Suicide watch.
43:45Suicide watch.
43:50There's no one out in the US.
43:51We can't.
43:52But we can't do it anymore.
43:53We can't do it anymore.
43:54Soon.
43:55What does that do it so could happen?
43:56Who is the problem?
43:57Can't do it anymore.
43:58We can't do it anymore.
43:59Or do it.
44:00We can't do it anymore.
44:01The door is not right now.
44:03Obviously, it's open.
44:04It's a destroyer.
44:05It's a picnic.
44:06This is a
44:09I don't know.
44:39I don't know.
45:09I don't know.
