Millennium (1996–1999): Season 2, Episode 16 - Roosters - full transcript

HEY.

YOU LOOKIN' FOR ME?

YOU MUST BE, BECAUSE I'M
THE ONLY ONE THAT LIVES HERE.

EASY, MR. BLACK.

THIS IS WHO WE ARE.

PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD.

YOU TOO.

FRANK, JUST LET ME
CALL PETER WATTS.

WHAT IS IT YOU DIDN'T WANT
ANYONE ELSE TO SEE, PETER?

FROM WHAT WE UNDERSTAND, THE TWO MEN
INTRODUCED THEMSELVES TO FRANK BLACK...

AS MEMBERS OF THE GROUP.



CONSIDERING THE DIVISION
BETWEEN THE SECULARISTS

AND THE THEOLOGIANS,
MAYBE THEY WERE.

EVERYONE KNOWS THAT
FRANK WAS A CIVILIAN.

HE WAS ALWAYS RELUCTANT
TO JOIN THE GROUP. PERIOD.

LET ALONE TIP HIS HAND AS TO
WHICH MILLENNIUM HE BELIEVED.

WE HAVE LOST AN
EXCEPTIONAL CANDIDATE.

I LOST HIM.

I'D LIKE TO GO TO HIM.

NOT TO, UH, TRY TO GET HIM BACK.
JUST TO MAKE CERTAIN HE'S OKAY.

I'VE BEEN WHERE
YOU'RE AT, PETER.

I SPENT 10 YEARS AT
THE LEVEL OF PATRON.

YOU EMPATHIZE WITH
YOUR CANDIDATE'S DOUBTS.

YOU CONDOLE THEIR FEAR.
YOU ELATE AT THEIR REVELATION.

YOU CAN'T EXPERIENCE THESE EMOTIONS WITH
ANOTHER PERSON AND NOT FEEL CLOSE TO THEM.



BUT UNTIL THE CANDIDATE
BECOMES INITIATED...

AND COMPREHENDS THE
SECRETS THAT WE ACCEPT,

THE AFFINITY IS A
ONE-WAY STREET.

YOU ARE THE LAST
PERSON HE WANTS TO SEE.

YEAH.

PETER?

I EXPECT AN EXPLANATION...

AS TO WHY YOU COVERED UP
THE THIRD INFRARED IMAGE...

IN THE JOHNSTON INVESTIGATION.

SOME OF MY UNIFORMED GUYS FOUND THE
CAR. IT WAS ABANDONED UP ON CLYDE HILL.

THERE'S NO PRINTS, PHONY
PLATES, THE VIN REMOVED.

IT'S GONNA BE A BITCH TO TRACE.

YEAH.

I SEE YOU'RE THINKIN' ABOUT
YOUR OWN INVESTIGATION.

BETWEEN YOU AND THE GROUP,
I KNOW YOU GOT A GOOD IDEA...

IF NOT DEFINITE PROOF,
WHO THESE GUYS WERE.

I DON'T WORK WITH THE
GROUP ANYMORE. WHAT?

NO. HI.

HI.

GOD.

ALL RIGHT THEN. UH, WE'RE
GONNA WRAP UP HERE.

I MIGHT NEED YOU TO COME DOWN
FOR SOME OFFICIAL QUESTIONING.

YEAH, GOOD. IN THE
MEANTIME, I, UH...

I GOTTA TAKE YOUR GUN.

MY GUN?

YEAH.

ANY CHANCE YOU'RE GONNA
STAY AT CATHERINE'S TONIGHT?

I'LL KEEP A PATROL CAR
OUTSIDE. THANKS, GEIBS.

- GOOD NIGHT, CATHERINE.
- GOOD NIGHT.

HEY. ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

MMM.

WHERE'S JORDAN?

SHE'S BACK AT THE
HOUSE WITH ANNE.

YOU SHOULD STAY THERE.

IT WOULD BE BETTER IF
YOU TWO STAYED HERE.

BETTER? OR DO YOU MEAN SAFER?

WHAT IS GOING ON?

NOT REVEALING THE TRUTH
IS THE EQUIVALENT OF A LIE.

WHY DO YOU
CONTINUE TO LIE TO ME?

WE'RE ON THE BRINK OF A SCISSION
THAT APPEARS IRREVERSIBLE.

JOHNSTON, A MEMBER
OF GREAT STATURE,

ACCOUNTABLE ONLY TO
YOU AND THE OLD MAN,

WAS DESTRUCTIVELY WORKING BOTH
OWLS AND ROOSTERS AGAINST EACH OTHER.

I WAS AWARE THAT THE
REVELATION OF HIS MURDER,

HIS POSSESSION OF THE
CROSS OF THE CRUCIFIXION,

WOULD DETERMINE THE
OUTCOME OF THIS DISUNION.

THE INFRARED IMAGE
WAS MY ONLY LEAD,

SO I WANTED TO CONSULT
WITH THE OLD MAN BEFORE

I MADE IT ADMISSIBLE
TO THE INVESTIGATION.

YOU TRIED TO KEEP OUR FAMILY SAFE AND
TOGETHER BY WITHHOLDING THE TRUTH FROM ME.

AND NOW WE'RE APART.

IF THIS IS HAPPENING AGAIN,
HAVEN'T YOU LEARNED YOUR LESSON?

IT'S VERY DIFFICULT
TO KNOW THE TRUTH.

EVEN TO... RECOGNIZE THE TRUTH.

BUT I DON'T
BELIEVE IT'S A LIE...

TO RESERVE INFORMATION THAT COULD
CREATE CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES...

UNTIL I UNDERSTAND
IT FOR MYSELF.

THE PROBLEM IS YOU'RE NOT
THE ONLY ONE THAT IT AFFECTS.

YOU SHOULD HAVE THE RESPECT TO
ALLOW ME TO PARTICIPATE IN DECISIONS...

THAT ARE AFFECTING
ME AND MY DAUGHTER.

I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S SELF-CENTERED.
I... I DON'T THINK IT'S BITCHY. I JUST...

I THINK IT'S JUST RIGHT.

SUSPICIONS ARE NOT TRUTHS.

WHEN I AM SURE, I'LL TELL YOU.

WHETHER THE EVENTS ARE
THEOLOGICAL OR SECULAR,

TO SURVIVE THE EVENTS
OF THE MILLENNIUM, PETER,

OUR GROUP'S PURPOSE
MUST BE SECRET.

NOW, I UNDERSTAND YOUR MOTIVES,

BUT WE CANNOT
LIE TO ONE ANOTHER.

UH, GEIBS, IT'S FRANK.

YEAH, I WONDER IF YOU
COULD DO ME A FAVOR.

WOULD YOU POSITION THAT PATROL
CAR OUTSIDE OF CATHERINE'S APARTMENT?

YEAH, JUST DON'T LET
HER KNOW IT'S THERE.

WHAT IF THE RESULTS OF THE CARBON
DATING PROVE THAT JOHNSTON...

THE OWLS... STOLE THE
CROSS OF THE CRUCIFIXION?

HOW, THEN, DO WE REMAIN
HONEST WITH EACH OTHER?

MY CONCERN IS IF THE RESULTS
SHOW THE WOOD TO BE A FAKE.

IF IT IS, WHERE'S THE REAL ONE?

AND WHAT DOES THAT
MEAN FOR MILLENNIUM?

I HAVE THE RESULTS
OF THE CARBON DATING...

ON THE WOOD DISCOVERED
IN MR. JOHNSTON'S TRUNK,

ALLEGEDLY AT THE
TIME OF HIS MURDER.

BEFORE DISCLOSING THEM,
IT SEEMS IMPERATIVE TO...

DISCUSS THE IMPLICATIONS
OF THE RESULTS...

AND THE CRISIS AT HAND.

NOW, WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS,

THIS IS NOT A SPLIT CAUSED BY
OPPOSING INHERENT VIEWPOINTS.

NO ONE IS ALLOWED
IN THIS ROOM...

UNLESS THEY BELIEVE
THE MONUMENTAL EVENTS...

THAT ARE BEFORE US
AND ARE ABOUT TO COME.

IN THE NEXT CENTURY.

THE NEXT 95 WEEKS.

THE CATHOLICS AND THE
PROTESTANTS IN NORTHERN IRELAND...

BOTH BELIEVE IN CHRIST AS LORD.

YET FOR DECADES THEY'VE
TAKEN EACH OTHER'S LIVES.

THEY'VE LOST ANY SENSE OF
NATIONAL DIRECTION OR PROGRESS,

BECAUSE THE SPLIT HAS LOST ITS BASIS
IN RELIGIOUS OR POLITICAL IDEOLOGY.

IT'S BECOME ABOUT WHO CONTROLS
WHO. AND THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE.

AND THIS IS NOT WHO WE ARE.

I'M NOT ASHAMED TO
SAY IT IS ABOUT CONTROL.

HOW MANY TIMES CAN YOU CRY WOLF?

IF THE ROOSTERS ARE GIVEN
THE LEAD TO PREPARE THE PUBLIC...

AND DIRECT THEM TOWARDS
NONSENSICAL BIBLICAL PROPHECIES,

THE WORLD WILL
DISBELIEVE, OVERLOOK...

AND BE UNPREPARED FOR THE
CATASTROPHIC ASTRONOMICAL EVENT...

WE KNOW BEYOND A DOUBT WILL
OCCUR SIX DECADES FROM NOW.

AND NO ONE WILL SURVIVE.

NOT MY FAMILY.

NOT A SINGLE MEMBER
OF THE HUMAN RACE.

AND THAT IS WORTH DYING FOR.

AND THAT IS WORTH KILLING OVER.

I'M CHECKING ON THE DELIVERY
OF INVOICE NUMBER 1567-AA.

IF THE CARBON DATING CONFIRMS
THAT IT WAS THE CRUCIFIXION CROSS,

THEN THE OWLS HAVE DESTROYED
A SACRED MYSTICAL ICON.

IF IT'S A FAKE, THE ROOSTERS HAVE
PLANTED IT TO DISCREDIT THE OWLS,

TO GIVE AN APPEARANCE WE
ARE CAPABLE OF ANYTHING.

- APPARENTLY YOU ARE.
- JOHNSTON WAS GATHERING
INTELLIGENCE ON US.

JOHNSTON TRIED TO RECRUIT
LARA MEANS TO YOUR CAUSE.

YOU DISMISSED HER
BASED ON YOUR BIAS.

I WILL NOT DISCLOSE THESE RESULTS
UNTIL THESE DIFFERENCES ARE RESOLVED.

THAT'S JUST HIDING THE
TRUTH. FROM BOTH SIDES.

FROM WHAT I'M HEARING,
THERE IS NO TRUTH TO BE HAD.

HOW CAN THIS BE?

APPARENTLY, THE ANSWER
TO THAT QUESTION IS THAT IT IS.

MRS. BLACK? I'M JIM FORD.

WE HAD AN APPOINTMENT?

YES, JIM. HAVE A SEAT.

YOU AREN'T HERE BY ANY CHANCE...

TO DISCUSS MS. KNIGHT'S ARTWORK?

MS. KNIGHT'S ARTWORK?

NO. MY SUPERVISOR
HERE'S A FREAKIN' NAZI.

THAT'S WHAT I
WANT TO TALK ABOUT.

COME IN.

- AM I DISTURBING YOU?
- NOT AT ALL.

I WANTED TO SURPRISE
CATHERINE, GO OUT FOR COFFEE.

BUT, UH, SHE'S NOT
DONE WITH HER WORK,

SO I THOUGHT I'D
COME AND SAY HI.

- ARE THINGS BETTER
BETWEEN YOU TWO?
- OH, YEAH.

CATHERINE? OH, SHE'S
GREAT. YOU KNOW HOW IT IS.

I JUST LEFT THIS JOB I HAD. IT WAS
IN THE AREA OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.

I WAS A CONSULTANT ON
HOMICIDE INVESTIGATIONS.

TO SEE THE THINGS THAT
PEOPLE WERE CAPABLE OF.

NOT ANY PEOPLE.
DEGENERATES, YOU KNOW.

I'M FROM SEATTLE,
AND I DON'T REMEMBER...

THIS MANY FOREIGNERS OR
IMMIGRANTS, WHAT HAVE YOU.

THEY DON'T HAVE ANY UNDERSTANDING,
LET ALONE RESPECT, FOR ORDER.

I FEEL LIKE THE WHOLE COUNTRY
IS GOIN' DOWN THE TUBES.

IT'S LIKE THE DEGENERATION
OF THE SPECIES.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

CATHERINE SAID YOU'D
BE EASY TO OPEN UP TO.

SHE MUST BE DONE BY NOW.

WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED
IN A POSITION WITH US, FRANK?

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT AIRPLANE PARTS.

WE'RE A LARGE COMPANY.
WE HAVE MANY INTERESTS.

WHAT THE HELL ARE
YOU DOING? GET OUT.

WE CAN'T TALK IN THERE.
IT'S BAD ENOUGH I MIGHT

BE SEEN HERE. LOOK,
I'VE BEEN TO THE POLICE.

I'VE BEEN TO THE F.B.I.

LOOK, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR HUSBAND DOES,
BUT YOU'VE ONLY BEEN HIRED TO GET TO HIM.

THEY'RE NOT AEROTECH.
THEY'RE ODESSA.

DON'T. LET HIM GO.

LET HIM GO!

- PLEASE LET ME GO!
- HIT THE ROAD. BEAT IT.

DID HE HURT YOU?

- WHAT IS ODESSA?
- WHAT DID HE SAY?

- WHAT IS ODESSA?
- I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT.

- YOU'RE A LIAR.
- LIAR?

- LET'S JUST GO.
- YOU GO.

HEY, FRANKLIN. SORRY TO WAKE
YOU. YOU'RE GONNA NEED THAT REST.

IT'S A THING WITH HIM.

WHERE HE COMES FROM, THERE'S NO
LOCKS ON THE DOOR OR... SOMETHING.

WELL, WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE.

YEAH.

I'M NOT WITH THE GROUP ANYMORE.

AS FAR AS I CAN SEE, WE'RE
ALL THAT'S LEFT OF THE GROUP.

THERE'S NOT A SINGLE MEMBER OF THE
GROUP THAT DIDN'T PASS BY MY HOME,

THAT I DIDN'T TEACH
WHAT WE WERE ALL ABOUT.

NOT YOU, FRANK, NOR YOU, LARA.

WATTS. EVERY PATRON.

EVERY ELDER.

NOT THAT I'M SO
SPECIAL, MIND YOU.

I'VE HAD MY TEACHERS. I WAS
GUIDED TOWARD ENLIGHTENMENT.

NO MATTER HOW MANY
DECADES HAVE PASSED,

NO MATTER HOW MUCH CLOSER
WE ARE TO THE MILLENNIUM,

I STILL SEE, FEEL THAT MOMENT...

THE MAGIC MOMENT OF
ENLIGHTENMENT EACH MEMBER ATTAINED.

AND THE SADNESS, TOO,

THAT ANYONE EVEN HAD TO
LIVE WITH SUCH A RESPONSIBILITY.

NOW IT'S IN RUINS, AND MILLENNIUM
BECAME WHAT WE FIGHT AGAINST.

DAMN OWLS, ROOSTERS,
POWER AND CONTROL.

THE WORLD WILL END IN 656
DAYS IF WE FAIL TO ACT NOW.

SOMEHOW I'VE FAILED, AND I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I CAN DO TO PULL IT BACK TOGETHER.

THEN WHY COME TO US?

YOU'RE AWARE THAT
JOHNSTON WAS MURDERED?

HE TRIED TO RECRUIT
ME TO THE OWLS.

JOHNSTON? HE WAS A FUTURIST
OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION.

NO ONE REALLY KNOWS
WHICH SIDE HE WAS ON.

AND THE DISUNION IS
OVER WHO KILLED HIM.

DID HE SAY ANYTHING TO YOU
THAT WOULD PROVIDE A LEAD?

WELL, THROUGHOUT HISTORY,

THE MILLENNIUM GROUP HAS HAD
ACCESS TO SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGHS...

THAT WERE BANNED OR WITHHELD
BY THOSE IN POWER AT THE TIME.

COPERNICUS, GALILEO,
THE GERMAN PHYSICISTS.

THIS ENABLED THE GROUP TO LEAP GENERATIONS
AHEAD OF... OF MAINSTREAM RESEARCH.

SO, JOHNSTON'S CLAIM...

THE OWLS' CLAIM... IS THAT
SIX BILLION YEARS AGO,

BEFORE THE FORMATION OF THE
EARTH, TWO NEUTRON STARS COLLIDED...

SIX BILLION LIGHT-YEARS AWAY.

THIS COLLISION
RELEASED COSMIC RAYS,

PARTICLES OF SUCH EXTREME ENERGY
THAT THE COLLISION OF THESE PARTICLES...

COULD TRANSFORM
THE VACUUM OF SPACE...

CAUSE A... A TEAR IN THE
FABRIC OF OUR UNIVERSE.

THE OWLS CLAIM TO HAVE PROOF...

THAT THIS TEAR... THIS
E-EXPANDING COSMIC BUBBLE...

WILL REACH OUR SOLAR SYSTEM
WITHIN THE NEXT 60 YEARS,

AND A NEW UNIVERSE,

ITS PROPERTIES CALCULATED
ANYWHERE BETWEEN...

APOCALYPTIC...

AND INCONSEQUENTIAL,
WILL BE CREATED.

AND YOU BELIEVED HIM?

YOU JOINED JOHNSTON? THAT'S
WHY PETER WATTS DISMISSED YOU.

GIVEN THE SCOPE OF THE GROUP AND THE
SCIENTIFIC CREDIBILITY, I CAN BELIEVE IT.

BUT MY VISIONS, FRANK,

ARE BECOMING MORE FREQUENT,
MORE INTENSE, ALTERED.

NOT JUST AN ANGEL.

THESE VISIONS FEEL PROPHETIC...

AND FRIGHTENING.

I CAN'T TURN MY
BACK ON WHAT I TRUST.

SOMETHING IS CLOSER
THAN 60 YEARS AWAY.

I TOLD JOHNSTON THAT I
WOULDN'T JOIN THE OWLS.

BUT PETER, HE... HE MUST HAVE RECEIVED
HEARSAY THAT JOHNSTON SPOKE TO ME...

AND THEN DISMISSED
ME FROM THE GROUP.

HOW CAN EX-CANDIDATES
HELP RESTORE THE GROUP?

AT THE MOMENT, THEY'RE
SO BUSY INFIGHTING,

THEY'RE BLINDED
TO ONE SIMPLE FACT.

IT'S A THIRD PARTY.

THEY'VE RECENTLY
BEEN AFTER YOU, FRANK.

THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN AFTER ME.

EXCUSE ME, CLEAR?

HAVE YOU SEEN JIM FORD? WE WERE
SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT.

HE HAS AN APPOINTMENT
WITH ME TOO.

HE DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR WORK.

WE CAN'T COME TO THE
PHONE AT THE MOMENT.

IF THIS IS A QUESTION
CONCERNING JIM FORD,

THE FAMILY ASKS,
IN LIEU OF FLOWERS,

PLEASE SEND A DONATION TO
THE JAMES FORD MEMORIAL FUND.

CATHERINE!

GET IN.

I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING I KNOW.

♪♪ KNOW THIS?

WAGNER'S PARSIFAL?

A YOUNG MAN IS BROUGHT
TO THE SITE OF THE HOLY GRAIL.

BUT, UH, HE DIDN'T QUITE GET IT.

SO HE WANDERS AROUND...

ACQUIRING WISDOM
AND EXPERIENCE...

UNTIL HE BECOMES
KING OF THE KNIGHTS.

I HEAR THIS EVERY NIGHT
BEFORE I GO TO BED.

WELL, PARTS OF IT.

DAMN THING'S FIVE
HOURS LONG OR SOMETHIN'.

AIN'T IT BEAUTIFUL?

BUT EVEN SO, FOR
ME IT'S TARNISHED.

WHEN ADOLF HITLER MADE A PERSONAL
PILGRIMAGE TO WAGNER'S GRAVE,

EMOTIONAL, HE BELIEVED HE COULD
MAKE A RELIGION OUT OF PARSIFAL.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, HE DID.

HITLER'S SECRETARY,
MARTIN BORMANN,

HE BEGAN A PROJECT
KNOWN AS ODESSA.

IT WAS THE UNDERGROUND MOVEMENT
OF HIGH-RANKING S.S. OFFICERS...

TO AREAS SOUTH OF THE EQUATOR.

THE NAZI S.S. WAS
A SECRET SOCIETY.

HEINRICH HIMMLER
MODELED IT AFTER...

A MEDIEVAL ORDER
OF TEUTONIC KNIGHTS.

IT DISPLAYED RITUALISTIC
INSIGNIA... THE SIEGRUNE.

TWO LIGHTNING BOLTS WERE WORN ON
THE LEFT SLEEVE, THE RUNE OF POWER.

LIGHTNING BOLTS OF
THE STORM GOD, THOR.

IN THE LAST DAYS OF THE WAR,

THE NAZIS ESTABLISHED
CORPORATIONS...

WITH COUNTRIES THAT
WOULD COOPERATE.

PARAGUAY, ARGENTINA.

NOT ONLY DID THEY TRANSFER
MONEY FROM GERMANY,

BUT SWISS BANK ACCOUNTS
ALREADY ESTABLISHED...

CONTAINED BILLIONS... OF TODAY'S
DOLLARS IN PLUNDERED GOLD.

BUT EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT.

ON NOVEMBER THE 23rd, 1923,

THE NAZIS ATTEMPTED
TO SEIZE POWER.

SIXTEEN MEMBERS DIED.

THEIR BLOOD STAINED
A SWASTIKA FLAG,

KNOWN FROM THAT POINT AS
DIE BLUTFAHNE... "BLOOD BANNER."

IT IS SAID THAT WHOEVER MAINTAINS CONTROL
OF THIS BANNER WOULD DEFEAT COMMUNISM.

RUDOLF AXMANN,

THE OLDEST SURVIVING
MEMBER OF HITLER'S CIRCLE,

LEADER OF ODESSA,

HAS POSSESSION OF
THIS FLAG IN PARAGUAY.

HMM.

NO, LARA, IT WASN'T GORBACHEV OR
REAGAN WHO BROUGHT DOWN THE WALL.

IT WAS THE INVOLVEMENT OF
ODESSA AND RUDOLF AXMANN...

THAT DEFEATED THEIR
GREATEST ENEMY.

AND NOW MILLENNIUM IS
THEIR GREATEST ENEMY.

WAS.

AEROTECH GUIDANCE SYSTEM IS...
IS AN ODESSA COMPANY, CATHERINE.

THROUGH THE GROUP'S DATABASE,

LARA MEANS AND I WERE ABLE TO TRACK
IT ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE REICHSBANK...

AND THE S.S. MELMER ACCOUNT.

THE RUNE ON
KNIGHT'S CUFF LINK...

THE WATERCOLOR IS AN
ORIGINAL ONE OF HITLER'S,

AWARDED TO HIGH-RANKING
MEMBERS OF ODESSA.

THEY USED YOU TO GET TO ME.

MY RELUCTANCE TO JOIN THE
MILLENNIUM GROUP WAS MONITORED,

SEEN AS A POTENTIAL WILLINGNESS
TO WORK WITH THEIR SIDE... ODESSA.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S THE TRUTH.

WELL, AT LEAST NOW
I CAN BELIEVE YOU.

HUH.

AND YOU CAN BELIEVE
THAT I LOVE YOU.

I'M SURE FRANK INTENDED FOR YOU TO
SLEEP IN ONE OF THE BEDS UPSTAIRS...

WHEN HE SAID HE HAD A
PLACE FOR YOU TO STAY.

NOPE. THIS FEELS MOST LIKE HOME.

SEE YOU IN THE MORNIN'.

DON'T LET THE BEDBUGS BITE.

GOOD NIGHT.

WHICH SIDE DO YOU BELIEVE?

MY FAMILY WERE WEALTHY POLES.

I WAS SMUGGLED OUT OF
EUROPE AND SENT HERE.

MY MOTHER AND
FATHER CAME TO ME...

AT THE MOMENT RUDOLF AXMANN
HAD THEM GASSED AT AUSCHWITZ.

HMM.

I'VE SEEN THE END OF THE WORLD.

MAY I COME IN?

STANDING HERE,
CONSIDERING THIS MAN,

ALL THE...

HORROR...

AND WONDER AND SENSE OF DUTY
THAT HE BROUGHT INTO MY LIFE,

I FEEL PRIMARILY...

ASHAMED AT HOW I'VE
TREATED THE TWO OF YOU.

MY COLLEAGUES, MY FRIENDS.

I'VE ALLOWED THIS CRISIS...
THIS DIVISION WITHIN THE GROUP...

TO CREATE A DISUNION
WITHIN MYSELF...

THAT BECAME DIRECTED AT THE
ONLY TWO PEOPLE THAT I CAN TRUST,

NOW THAT THE OLD MAN IS GONE.

YOU SAID "PRIMARILY."

WHAT ELSE ARE YOU FEELING?

THE SEROLOGICAL ANALYSIS AND
SKIN SAMPLES OF THE SUSPECT...

MATCH A SUBJECT THAT'S BEEN ON THE
GROUP'S MOST WANTED LIST FOR 10 YEARS,

A MAN NAMED HELMUT GUNSCHE.

HE'S A PRIMARY ASSASSIN
FOR A GROUP KNOWN AS...

ODESSA.

FOR OVER HALF A CENTURY...

THEY'VE SPONSORED
TERRORIST ACTS.

THEY'VE SUCCESSFULLY
CONSPIRED...

TO GUIDE SOCIAL AND POLITICAL EVENTS IN
THE DIRECTION OF THEIR OWN DARK MYSTICISM.

THEY'VE TRIED TO
DESTROY THE GROUP.

SO NOW THE GROUP
MUST DESTROY THEM.

THE POSITION IN
WHICH LIFE BEGINS...

IS THAT IN WHICH IT ENDS...

AND THAT IN WHICH
IT WILL RETURN.

THERE IS AN END OF WRONG...

AND DEATH AND HELL.

AND THE LONG WEAR
OF TIME AND SUFFERING...

EFFACES THE STAIN
INGROWN UPON THE SOUL.

AND THE CLEANSED SPIRIT,

LONG AGES FLOATING ON
THE WANDERING WINDS...

AND THE ROLLING DEEPS OF SPACE,

RENEWS ITSELF...

AND DOTH REGAIN ITS DWELLING.

TIME CALLS, AND CHANGE
COMMANDS BOTH MEN AND GODS...

AND SPEEDS US ON...
WE KNOW NOT WHITHER.

THE OLD EARTH SMILES,
SPRING AFTER SPRING,

AND THE SEEDS BURST AGAIN...

AND THE DEAD LIVES
RENEW THEMSELVES...

AND RISE ALOFT AND SOAR,

CLOTHING THEMSELVES
WITH CHANGE...

UNTIL THE LAST CHANGE...

BE DONE.

SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE.

I MADE THIS!
