The Outer Limits (1995–2002): Season 6, Episode 14 - Abaddon - full transcript

[ WOMAN ]:
IN THE YEAR 2102,

THE UNITED STATES
OF NORTH AMERICA

OFFICIALLY BECAME
THE NORTH AMERICAN CORPORATION,

OR "THE COMPANY",
AS IT WAS COMMONLY CALLED.

THE NORTH AMERICAN ELECTORATE
BECAME SHAREHOLDERS

WITH ALL OF THE RIGHTS
AND PRIVILEGES OF OWNERSHIP.

THE TRUTH WAS THAT THE PEOPLE
WERE THE COMPANY'S EMPLOYEES

WITH NO REAL RIGHTS
AND NO PRIVILEGES.

IN 2291,

THE COMPANY SENT FIVE SHIPS
ON RECLAMATION PROJECT

IN THE FAR REACHES
OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM.



ONE OF THOSE SHIPS

WAS THE INTERPLANETARY
HAULING VEHICLE, PEQUOD.

THIS IS HOW IT WENT DOWN.

[ COMPUTER ]:
ARTIFICIAL GRAVITY,

ENGAGED.

EARLY-WAKE SEQUENCE
AC-AC-ACTIVATED.

EA-EA-EARLY-WAKE SEQUENCE
AC-AC-ACTIVATED.

OW! DAMN THAT HURTS.

ACTIVATED.
AC-AC-ACTIVATED.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

EA-EA-EARLY WAKE SE-SEQUENCE
AC-AC-ACTIVATED.

WHY IS THE SHIP

BRINGING US OUT OF HYPERSLEEP?

ARE WE CLOSE
TO THE TRANSFER STATION?



I DON'T THINK SO.

LOOKS LIKE WE'VE ENCOUNTERED
ANOTHER VESSEL.

HUTCH,
GET IT IN GEAR.

WE NEED INFO.

I'M GEARING. I'M GEARING.

WELL, DO IT FASTER.

MR. KNIGHT AND I
WILL BE TOPSIDE.

OH, WHAT
A PLEASURE IT IS

TO BE ALIVE.

EA-EA-EARLY-WAKE SEQUENCE,
SEQUENCE, SEQUENCE...

DIDN'T YOU FIX THAT DAMNED THING
BEFORE WE SHUT DOWN?

I THOUGHT I DID.

SOMEBODY KICK IT,
PLEASE!

A LITTLE PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE
COMING UP.

EARLY-WAKE SEQUENCE.

EA-EA-EARLY-WAKE-WAKE-WAKE
SEQUENCE

AC-AC-AC-AC-AC-AC...

WELL, I TRIED.

BIX, FIX IT,

OR I SWEAR
I'LL PUT A BULLET IN IT.

BIX, COME ON.
HAVE SOME MERCY!

AC...

YOU HAPPY?

I WASN'T AWARE
HAPPY WAS ON THE MENU.

WHATEVER THAT OBJECT IS,
IT'S TALKING TO US.

SCREAMING
MORE LIKE IT.

DIGITAL CODING,
EARTH ORIGIN.

DID YOU
SEE THE WAY

THOSE HYDRAULIC LINES
WERE FRAYING?

WHILE WE WERE
SLEEPING,

THIS OLD CRATE
WAS FALLING APART.

THE WASTE SYSTEM'S
LEAKING, TOO.

TALK TO ME, HUTCH.
HOW BIG IS THAT THING OUT THERE?

OBJECT IS FOUR METERS LONG,
TWO METERS WIDE.

THAT'S TINY.

PROBABLY FULL OF
MEAN LITTLE SPACE MIDGETS.

THE HULL IS MADE
OF XENOTITANIUM.

WOW. THAT'S
EXPENSIVE STUFF.

THE CODE IT'S
SENDING IS ANCIENT.

THEY HAVEN'T USED
LANGUAGE LIKE THAT IN 200 YEARS.

THE GRAPPLING BOT IS AWAY.

THAT THING'S FROM EARTH.

WHAT IS IT,
AND HOW'D IT GET HERE?

FIRST CHANCE YOU GET, BIX,

I WANT A FULL REPORT
ON WHERE WE ARE.

WE'RE NOT LOST,
ARE WE?

WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE
FOR THAT RENDEZVOUS

AT THE TRANSFER STATION.

OH, THAT'S GREAT.

OBJECT HAS BEEN CAPTURED.

RETRIEVAL PROCESS HAS BEGUN.

WHAT THE HELL
IS THAT THING?

CAN'T WE JUST
REEL IT IN FASTER?

OH, MY GOD.

DISENGAGE THE GRAPPLING BOT.

WHAT?

THAT THING--IT'S A COFFIN!

A COFFIN?

MADE OF
XENOTITANIUM?

BRING IT IN.

NO!
THAT POD HAS THE DEVIL IN IT!

WOO-HOO, BIX,
WHAT'RE YOU SMOKING?

GIVE ME SOME.

ACCORDING TO THE MESSAGE,

THAT POD IS THE CONFINEMENT CELL
USED

TO BLAST VIRGIL NYGARD'S BODY
INTO DEEP-SPACE EXILE.

VIRGIL WHO?

I THINK I WAS ABSENT
THE DAY THEY TAUGHT THAT.

WHAT, YOU NEVER BUMPED INTO
ANY OF HIS FOLLOWERS?

THEY'RE
STILL AROUND.

HE WAS A RELIGIOUS FANATIC
OF SOME KIND, WASN'T HE?

MORE LIKE A SEPARATIST.

AND THAT MAKES HIM THE DEVIL?

150 YEARS AGO,

HE LED HIS
PRIVATE MILITIA

ON A MASSACRE OF MORE THAN
A MILLION INNOCENT PEOPLE

BEFORE HE WAS FINALLY CAPTURED

AND CONVICTED
OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

WELL, THAT'LL GET YOU
SOME HORNS AND A TAIL.

CAPTAIN, PLEASE,

LET'S JUST LEAVE THIS THING
WHERE WE FOUND IT.

YEAH, I HEAR YOU.

YOU CAN'T GET
XENOTITANIUM ANYMORE.

MAKES THAT COFFIN
WORTH A NICE CHUNK OF CHANGE.

BRING IT ABOARD.

JUST THINK ABOUT
THE CONSEQUENCES.

OR WORSE, THE KARMA.

I'D RATHER THINK
ABOUT THIS TRIP

AND HOW ALL WE HAVE
TO SHOW FOR IT

IS A HOLD FULL OF JUNK.

BE THAT AS
IT MAY, GORD,

I THINK WE SHOULD
CUT THIS ONE LOOSE.

IF WE TOOK
A THING LIKE THAT HOME,

WE'D BE STIRRING
A LOT OF TROUBLE.

THIS IS NOT
UP FOR DISCUSSION.

I'M THE COMPANY REP HERE.

YOU DO WHAT I'M TELLING YOU.

THAT'S AN
ORDER, IRA.

BRING IT ABOARD.

I'M A MEDICAL OFFICER.

I DON'T DO
THIS KIND OF WORK.

YOU DO NOW.

OPEN IT UP. COME ON.

ALL RIGHT.

EQUAL PRESSURE
ON BOTH SIDES.

COME ON. COME ON.

COME ON.

LET'S GO. LET'S GO.
LET'S GO. LET'S GO.

GORDON?

WHAT...

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
TO THE POD?

KEEP GOING.
KEEP GOING.

CAPTAIN, HURRY!

COME ON, BOYS.
COME ON.

WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING?

WE AGREED TO
BRING IT ONBOARD,

NOT TO OPEN IT.

WHOA!

WELL,

HERE'S YOUR BOGEYMAN, PEOPLE...

COLD AND DEAD

AS THE DAY
THEY SHOT HIM INTO SPACE.

NO!

GOD, FORGIVE US.

[ ♪ ]

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG
WITH YOUR TELEVISION.

DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO ADJUST THE PICTURE.

WE ARE NOW CONTROLLING
THE TRANSMISSION.

WE CONTROL THE HORIZONTAL...

AND THE VERTICAL.

WE CAN DELUDE YOU
WITH A THOUSAND CHANNELS

OR EXPAND ONE SINGLE IMAGE
TO CRYSTAL CLARITY...

AND BEYOND.

WE CAN SHAPE YOUR VISION

TO ANYTHING
OUR IMAGINATION CAN CONCEIVE.

FOR THE NEXT HOUR,

WE WILL CONTROL
ALL THAT YOU SEE AND HEAR.

YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE
THE AWE AND MYSTERY

WHICH REACHES
FROM THE DEEPEST INNER MIND

TO
--THE OUTER LIMITS.

WHO AMONG US

DOES NOT THINK HE KNOWS EVIL
WHEN HE SEES IT?

BUT ARE SUCH DISTINCTIONS
REALLY SO BLACK AND WHITE,

OR IS MORALITY
SIMPLY A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE?

HOW WAS I
SUPPOSED TO KNOW

THE GUY WAS ALIVE?

I READ THE SAME
HISTORY BOOKS YOU DID.

THEY CONVICTED HIM,
THEY EXECUTE HIM,

THEY SENT HIM
ON HIS WAY.

FULL-BODY IMMERSION
HYPERSLEEP,

HOW BARBARIC.

IT MUST BE TRIPPY
FEELING LIKE YOU'RE DROWNING.

I'M KIND OF CURIOUS.
AREN'T YOU?

IS THERE A DRUG-INDUCED
EXPERIENCE

THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU CURIOUS?

WE ALL HAVE OUR WAYS
OF ESCAPING FROM REALITY.

SOME OF US ARE
JUST MORE SUCCESSFUL AT IT.

UP YOURS.

THAT TOO.

WHY WASN'T
THAT MAN DEAD?

THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW.

HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!

THEY FIGURED
A LIVING DEATH WOULD BE NASTIER.

COULD BE THE COMPANY
CHANGED THEIR MIND

ABOUT KILLING HIM.

I MEAN,
WHY TURN THE GUY INTO A MARTYR

WHEN YOU CAN SHIP HIM
INTO COLD STORAGE?

'CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW

WHEN A MASS MURDERER
MIGHT COME IN HANDY.

I MEAN, THAT'S REALLY
THE COMPANY'S STYLE,

ISN'T IT?

WE'RE ALL JUST ASSETS
WAITING TO BE EXPLOITED.

WORKERS OF THE
WORLD, UNITE.

IS THAT IT,
CURTIS?

SURE. WHY NOT?

FOLLOW ME, COMRADES,
AGAINST THE TRUE EVIL EMPIRE.

BIX,

SEND A MESSAGE
TO THE COMPANY.

TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED
AND ASK FOR INSTRUCTIONS.

YES, SIR.

EXCEPT,
CONSIDERING WHERE WE ARE,

IT MAY TAKE A WHILE
TO GET THERE,

AND WHO KNOWS HOW LONG
BEFORE WE GET THEIR RESPONSE.

WHAT I MEAN IS,

WHILE WE'RE WAITING,

DO WE REALLY NEED THIS GUY
HERE AMONG US?

MAYBE WE'D BE BETTER OFF

FIXING THE POD,
PUTTING HIM BACK INSIDE,

AND SENDING HIM
ON HIS WAY.

UH, FORGET IT.
WE'RE KEEPING THE POD.

I DON'T CARE WHAT
YOU DO WITH THE GUY.

THE COMPANY PROBABLY
FORGOT ABOUT HIM EONS AGO.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU
SUGGEST, GORD,

WE JUST PUSH HIM
OUT THE AIRLOCK?

SEE YOU LATER, PAL.

HASTA LA PASTA?

SURE. WHY NOT?

THAT GUY KILLED
ALL THOSE PEOPLE.

HE'S A FRIGGING MONSTER
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.

OH, AND YOU DON'T THINK
IT'S EQUALLY MONSTROUS

PUSHING HIM
OUT THE AIRLOCK?

WHAT'S THE ALTERNATIVE?

WE KILL HIM,
THEN SHOVE HIM OUT THE AIRLOCK?

I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING
ABOUT KILLING.

SO PUT HIM BACK INTO HYPERSLEEP,
THEN PUSH HIM OUT THE DOOR?

LOOK, YOU KILL HIM,
YOU DUMP HIM,

TAKE HIM BACK TO EARTH
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.

ALL I CARE ABOUT IS THE POD.

YOU TOUCH THAT,

YOU'RE MESSING WITH THE COMPANY.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

THE COMEDY STYLINGS
OF MR. GORDO KNIGHT!

WHAT AN ASSHOLE!

I SAY WE TAKE
KNIGHT AND NYGARD,

STICK THEM BOTH
ON THE POD

AND KICK THEM BOTH
OUT INTO SPACE.

PEOPLE, THE WALLS HAVE EARS
ON THIS DRAFTY, OLD BOAT.

YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE LET HIM

DO THAT TO US,
CAPTAIN.

WHO SAYS
HE'S DONE ANYTHING?

WHAT COURSE DID YOU SET

WHEN WE STARTED
FOR THE TRANSFER STATION, HUTCH?

WE SHOULD'VE
BEEN THERE BY NOW.

INSTEAD,
WE'RE PRACTICALLY

ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE DAMNED SOLAR SYSTEM!

ARE YOU ACCUSING ME
OF SENDING US OUT HERE?

ALL I KNOW IS WE'RE HERE...

AND IT'S NO ACCIDENT.

WELL, MAYBE
GORDO DID IT.

HE DOESN'T KNOW A THING
ABOUT THE SHIP'S SYSTEMS.

ARE YOU CERTAIN
OF THAT, CAPTAIN?

MM-HMM.

MAYBE HE'S THE COMPANY BOY
WE THINK HE IS.

MAYBE HE'S GOT
SOME OTHER PURPOSE.

WHAT IF THE COMPANY
CHANGED COURSES ON US,

LIKE CURTIS SAID.

MAYBE THEY NEED NYGARD
FOR SOMETHING.

LIKE WHAT?

TO MASSACRE A FEW MORE PEOPLE?

I DON'T KNOW.

SOMEONE CHANGED COURSE
TO INTERCEPT THAT COFFIN,

AND IF NONE OF US DID IT,
LET'S JUST SAY SO,

I MEAN, TRUTHFULLY.

AND IF ONE OF US DID DO IT?

LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.

I DIDN'T DO IT.

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
WHO THE GUY WAS!

SO YOU SAY...

JUNKIE.

OH, FUCK YOU,
BERGER.

I DIDN'T DO IT.

WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH
YOU HATE YOUR JOB,

AND THE COMPANY,
AND YOUR LIFE.

RIGHT. LIKE I'M ALONE
IN THAT DEPARTMENT!

OKAY!

HERE'S WHAT
WE'RE GOING TO DO.

WE'RE GOING TO FIX THAT POD.

WE'RE GOING TO PUT
MR. NYGARD IN THAT POD,

AND WE'RE GOING TO GET IT
OFF OF THIS SHIP.

AND WHAT IF THE COMPANY
WANTS NYGARD AND THE POD?

WE'LL DRIVE OFF THAT BRIDGE
WHEN WE GET TO IT.

IS THIS A READOUT

OF ALL
THE NAVIGATIONAL DATABASE?

PLEASE WAIT

WHILE I SEARCH THE DATABASE
FOR ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

I'M SORRY,

BUT I FIND NO OTHER
NAVIGATIONAL INPUT.

BUT HOW CAN THAT BE?

THE COURSE DESCRIBED
IS NOT THE COURSE WE TOOK.

COULD I SEE A LIST
OF ALL OVERRIDES

INPUT INTO
THE NAVIGATIONAL DATABASE?

THE INFORMATION YOU REQUESTED
IS PASSWORD PROTECTED.

COULD I SEE A LIST
OF ALL SLEEP-CHAMBER ACTIVITY,

INCLUDING ALL DATES AND TIMES
OF HYPERSLEEP COMMENCEMENT

AND RELINQUISHMENT?

THE INFORMATION YOU REQUESTED
IS PASSWORD PROTECTED.

NOW YOU'RE PISSING ME OFF.

WHO ARE YOU?

MY NAME'S
GORDON KNIGHT.

I'M THE COMPANY REP
ON THIS SHIP.

COMPANY?

IT'S STILL AROUND,
BIGGER AND BADDER THAN EVER.

WHERE AM I?

I'LL MAKE THIS
EASY FOR YOU.

IT'S NOW 2298 ON EARTH.

YOUR 15 MINUTES
OF FAME

CAME AND WENT
IN 2142,

SO FOR THE LAST
150 YEARS,

YOU'VE BEEN DRIFTING
IN A LITTLE METAL BOX

THAT THEY SHOT OFF INTO NOWHERE.

THEY DIDN'T KILL ME?

APPARENTLY NOT.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU RUN
EQUIPMENT DIAGNOSTICS?

DIAGNOSTICS ARE RUN
ON A CONTINUAL BASIS,

DURING ALL PHASES
OF DATA ENTRY AND RETRIEVAL.

THANK YOU.

COULD I SEE A LIST

OF ALL THE DIAGNOSTICS
YOU'VE RUN

FOR THE PAST FOUR MONTHS,
INCLUDING ALL TERMINAL I.D.s?

PLEASE WAIT

WHILE I RETRIEVE THAT LIST
FOR YOU.

LIST COMPILATION COMPLETED.

GOTCHA.

WOULD YOU LIKE
THE LIST PRINTED?

PRINTED, PRINTED,
PRINTED, PRINTED...

HMM, YOU'RE
A LITTLE ELEVATED.

DR. FEELGOOD'S
GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YOU.

HE'S GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING
FOR ME, TOO.

ARE YOU FRIEND
OR ARE YOU FOE?

GET AWAY FROM ME!

NOCTURNAL DEMONS.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

BAD TRIP?

YEAH.

EXCEPT I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE
THAT IT'S OVER YET.

THAT'S A SHAME.

I WANTED TO ASK YOU
SOME QUESTIONS.

I'M HAVING TROUBLE
REMEMBERING WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE,
DON'T YOU?

I'M VIRGIL NYGARD.

I LED A COMMUNE IN THE MOUNTAINS
ABOVE THE COLUMBIA RIVER.

AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID,

WHY THEY SENT YOU
ALL THE WAY OUT HERE?

I SAVED THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE
WHO CHOSE TO FOLLOW ME.

AND MURDERED A MILLION
IN THE PROCESS.

A MILLION?

IS THAT WHAT THEY SAY I DID?

WHAT IS THIS,
SEMANTICS?

I KILLED A FEW HUNDRED THOUSAND,
BUT AS FOR THE REST--

YOU WEREN'T EVEN ALIVE THEN.

YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

I SAW THE HISTORIOGRAPH
ON THE SHIP'S COMPUTER.

YOU STARTED A WAR
WITH THE COMPANY,

AND WHEN THE PEOPLE
LIVING OUTSIDE THE COMMUNE

DIDN'T JOIN IN,

YOU SLAUGHTERED
THEM ALL--

MEN, WOMEN, CHILDREN.

[ LAUGHING ]

YOU'RE SICK.

I'M SORRY.

I DON'T MEAN TO LAUGH,

BUT WHAT YOU'RE CALLING HISTORY

BEARS SUCH LITTLE
RESEMBLANCE

TO WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

TELL ME,
WHAT DOES YOUR HISTORY SAY

THAT I DID
TO THOSE CHILDREN?

DID I ROAST THEM ALIVE,

AND THEN DID I...

EAT THEM?

AFTER ALL,

IT IS THE COMPANY...

THAT WROTE THE HISTORY,

ISN'T IT?

ARE YOU SAYING
THAT YOU DIDN'T KILL ANYONE?

I KILLED THEM.

THERE IS BLOOD
ALL OVER MY HANDS,

AND THE HANDS OF THOSE
WHO FOLLOWED ME,

BUT WE DIDN'T KILL
BECAUSE WE WANTED TO.

WE KILLED BECAUSE WE HAD TO.

IT WAS A MATTER
OF OUR VERY SURVIVAL.

YOU MURDERED A MILLION PEOPLE
IN ORDER TO SURVIVE?

A MILLION...

THERE WERE NO MILLION.

THERE WEREN'T HALF THAT MANY
WITHIN A THOUSAND MILES.

WHAT DID I DO?

DID I KILL THE SAME
THREE AND FOUR PEOPLE

OVER AND OVER AND OVER?

OKAY,

SO MAYBE THE COMPANY
EMBELLISHED THE BODY COUNT

A LITTLE BIT.

MAYBE IT WASN'T
A MILLION.

MAYBE YOU'RE SPLITTING HAIRS,

DOES THE HISTORY SAY WHY
WE DECLARED WAR ON THE COMPANY?

LIKE THAT MATTERS.

IF IT'S ANY CONSOLATION,

THE PEOPLE THAT SURVIVED
WHAT YOU DID,

THEY JOINED FORCES

AND THEY'VE BEEN
KICKING THE ASSES

OF EVERY ONE
OF YOUR FOLLOWERS

WHEREVER THEY CAN FIND THEM,
TO THIS VERY DAY.

I TELL YOU, THAT NYGARD,
WHAT A PISSER.

THE GUY'S PROBABLY
GOT AN EXCUSE FOR EVERYTHING--

LIKE, "I BUTCHERED THE BABIES
'CAUSE THEY WERE TOO SHORT,

"AND THE WOMEN,

I KILLED THEM 'CAUSE
THEY WERE WEARING DRESSES."

HOW'S OUR MONSTER DOING?

HE'S ALIVE.

YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL

ABOUT YOU GETTING
HIGH ON THE JOB, RIGHT?

YOU KNOW WHAT THE
COMPANY DID TO HIM?

WHAT THE COMPANY
DID TO HIM?

THERE WERE SOME MINERAL DEPOSITS

UNDERNEATH THE COMMUNE
THAT NYGARD STARTED,

NYGARD WOULDN'T
LET THEM MINE THERE.

WHAT ARE YOU,

HIS MOUTHPIECE
ALL OF A SUDDEN?

WELL, THIS IS WHAT HE SAYS.

I JUST NEVER HEARD
HIS SIDE OF THE STORY.

THE COMPANY
MANIPULATED THOSE PEOPLE

INTO HATING NYGARD.

CAN YOU BLAME THEM?

ARE WE STILL
TALKING ABOUT THIS?

IN THE FIRST PLACE,
NYGARD SAYS

THE MOST
THAT COULD HAVE DIED

IS 10,000 PEOPLE,

AND A LOT OF THOSE
WERE HIS FOLLOWERS.

THIS WHOLE THING STARTED

BECAUSE THE COMPANY
PUT A PRICE ON HIS HEAD.

I'M NOT EVEN GOING
TO LISTEN TO THIS ANYMORE.

WHAT IF NYGARD'S
TELLING THE TRUTH?

LIKE YOU SAY,
THE COMPANY'S HEARTLESS.

WE ALL KNOW THAT.

NYGARD SAYS

THE COMPANY TOOK YEARS
DOING WHAT IT DID,

PLAYING THE ENDS
AGAINST THE MIDDLE,

BUILDING HATRED

BETWEEN HIS FOLLOWERS
AND PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE COMMUNE,

GETTING THEM ALL WORRIED

THAT MAYBE NYGARD
WAS UP TO SOMETHING.

I CAN SEE THE COMPANY
DOING THAT, CAN'T YOU?

SO DOES THAT JUSTIFY
WHAT HE DID, CURTIS?

WELL, IT EXPLAINS IT.

DOES IT JUSTIFY IT?

PEOPLE DON'T EVER HAVE
TO BEHAVE LIKE THAT,

BUT THE FACT
THAT THEY DO

AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN,

IT'S WHY PEOPLE LIKE ME

STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM EARTH
AS POSSIBLE.

WELL, MAYBE IF YOU GAVE THE GUY
TWO SECONDS--

GIVE THE GUY TWO SECONDS?

THE FACT THAT HE'S
ON OUR GARBAGE SCOW

MAKES ME FEEL DIRTY,

AND THE FACT THAT YOU
KEEP DEFENDING HIM,

WELL, MAYBE YOU AND NYGARD
HAVE A LITTLE MORE IN COMMON

THAN WE THOUGHT.

THAT'S IT!

THIS CONVERSATION IS OVER.

YOU'RE THE ONE
THAT HATES EVERYBODY.

WHAT DO YOU CARE

IF THERE'S A FEW LESS
PEOPLE WALKING AROUND?

COMPARED TO HER,
NYGARD'S ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

YOU SON OF A BITCH!

THAT'S ENOUGH!

NOW, LOOK,
FROM THIS POINT ON,

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR
ANYTHING FROM ANYBODY

EXCEPT HOW TO
FIX THAT POD.

AND IF I MIGHT JUST ADD--

NO, YOU CAN'T...

BECAUSE AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,

YOU'RE AS MUCH OF A SUSPECT
AS ANYBODY.

OH, AND YOU'RE NOT?

WELL, ISN'T THAT CONVENIENT?

UNTIL WE GET
TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS,

ALL ORDERS COME FROM ME.

IS THAT CLEAR?

IS EVERYBODY CLEAR?

YES, SIR.

WELL?

CRYSTAL.

WHERE THE HELL'S BIX?

CAPTAIN, LOOK, I KNOW
YOU'VE GOT A TON ON YOUR MIND,

BUT I'VE BEEN THINKING
A LOT ABOUT THIS.

AUGIE, I DON'T
WANT YOUR THEORIES.

THANKS ANYWAY.

LOOK, WHOEVER'S DOING THIS
IS PROBABLY AFRAID.

WELL, THEY SHOULD BE,

'CAUSE I'M VERY
ANGRY ABOUT THIS.

HEY, BIX, I HATE TO BREAK UP
THIS PRIVATE MOMENT.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING
UP IN THERE?

LISTEN UP.

BIX IS DEAD.

WHAT?

SOMEBODY
CUT HER THROAT.

WHY?

LOOK, CURTIS,

WE'RE PUTTING NYGARD
BACK ON THAT POD.

I WANT HIM
OFF THIS SHIP.

THE POD'S STILL DAMAGED.

YOU WANT TO GO
WITH HIM, CURTIS? FINE.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

THERE IS A FIRE IN THE AIRLOCK.

OH, HELL. COME ON.

I WANT THESE DAMNED
DOORS OPEN NOW!

CAPTAIN, THE SHIP
SEALED THE DOORS.

IF WE TRY AND OPEN THEM NOW--

GIVE ME THAT.

HUTCH IS RIGHT, SIR.

IF THERE IS
A FIRE IN THERE

AND YOU OPEN--

OH, DAMNIT...

IT'S DESTROYED.

NOW WE'RE SCREWED.

WE'VE GOT TO RUN
A DIAGNOSTIC.

CURTIS,

I WANT A FULL FORENSIC ANALYSIS
ON THE DOUBLE.

CAPTAIN,

I KNOW DICK
ABOUT FORENSICS.

FOR ONCE,

LEARN HOW TO
TAKE AN ORDER.

I HEARD AN EXPLOSION.

IS THE POD DESTROYED?

IS THAT WHAT HAPPENED?

AS IF
YOU DON'T KNOW.

WHAT, YOU GOING TO ACCUSE HIM
OF DOING IT, HUTCH?

YOU GOING TO DEFEND HIM
IF SHE DOES?

I'M QUITE CAPABLE
OF DEFENDING MYSELF.

I DON'T THINK WE NEED
TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM YOU.

SO SAYS THE COMPANY MAN.

WELL...

NOW I KNOW I HAVE
AT LEAST ONE ALLY

ABOARD THIS SHIP,

MAYBE MORE.

CAN YOU SAY
THE SAME THING,

COMPANY MAN?

LET'S JUST SOLVE THIS PROBLEM
RIGHT NOW, IRA.

LET'S KILL HIM.

AH, ANOTHER
DEATH SENTENCE.

YOU KNOW,
LAST TIME I HAD A TRIAL FIRST,

IF YOU COULD
CALL IT THAT.

DO I HAVE A CHANCE
TO SPEAK, CAPTAIN,

OR IS JUSTICE ONE MORE THING
THE COMPANY HAS DONE AWAY WITH?

WHO DIVERTED
THE SHIP?

I WANT TO KNOW NOW.

WELL, I'M SURE YOU DO,

BUT I DON'T HAVE
THE ANSWER TO THAT,

THOUGH I CAN TELL YOU
SOMETHING ABOUT THEM.

THEY HAVE GONE
TO A GREAT DEAL OF TROUBLE

AND EXTREME
PERSONAL RISK

TO DO THIS.

THEY HAVE DEDICATED
THEMSELVES.

THEY HAVE BEEN
PREPARING FOR YEARS.

THEY HAVE WAITED
FOR THE STARS TO ALIGN,

AND NOW THAT THEY HAVE,
THERE IS NO TURNING BACK.

FOR THEM, THE STAKES
ARE LIFE AND DEATH,

AS THEY ARE FOR YOU.

I WASN'T WHAT
YOU'D CALL RELIGIOUS,

BUT I COULD NEVER
PICK UP A BIBLE

WITHOUT FINDING SOMETHING

THAT DIDN'T MAKE ME UNDERSTAND
THE WORLD A LITTLE BETTER.

REVELATIONS,
CHAPTER NINE--

"AND THEY HAD
AS A KING ABOVE THEM,

THE ANGEL OF THE ABYSS
WHOSE NAME IS ABADDON."

WHAT THE HELL
IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

THE ANGEL IS HERE.

HE'S ALIVE ON THIS SHIP.

WHOEVER
BROUGHT YOU HERE

IS DESPERATE.

THEIR MISSION WILL NOT BE DONE
UNTIL I RETURN HOME

AND MY PEOPLE ARE RESCUED
FROM EXTINCTION.

LET ME ASSURE YOU,
AND THEM,

WE'RE NOT TAKING YOU HOME.

AND YOU WOULD STAND IN OUR WAY

EVEN IF IT MEANT THOUSANDS
OF LIVES WERE AT STAKE?

I KNOW NOTHING
ABOUT LIVES BEING AT STAKE.

WELL, THEN, YOU'RE
NOT MUCH OF A LEADER, ARE YOU,

IF YOU DON'T THINK

THAT YOUR LIVES
ARE INCLUDED.

ARE YOU THREATENING US?

THREATENING?

I'M THE ONLY PERSON
THAT CAN SAVE YOU.

WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.

AUGIE, GET HIM OUT OF HERE!

DON'T DO THIS,
CAPTAIN.
NOW!

I HAVE BEEN REBORN!

I WILL GO HOME
TO MY PEOPLE.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE,
AUGIE.

YOU CANNOT STOP ME!

GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

YOU!

GET GOING
ON THIS AUTOPSY.

WHILE HE'S DOING THAT,

I WANT YOU
UP ON THE BRIDGE.

I WANT THIS SHIP
IN A HOLDING PATTERN.

LOCKED IN A HOLDING PATTERN.

UNTIL WE HEAR FROM THE COMPANY,

WE'RE NOT GOING
ANYWHERE.

WE'RE STAYING
RIGHT HERE.

ONE OF YOU HAS ALREADY PERISHED.

HOW MANY MORE OF YOU MUST DIE
BEFORE YOU SEE THE TRUTH?

ENOUGH.

I'M GETTING
A HEADACHE.

COME ON,
RIGHT HERE.

ALL I CAN REALLY
CONCLUDE FROM THE WOUND

IS THAT THE KILLER
WAS LEFT-HANDED,

I THINK.

WELL,
THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL.

WE'RE ALL RIGHT-HANDED.

WHICH HAND
DOES NYGARD USE?

WHAT'S THAT
GOING TO PROVE?

NYGARD DIDN'T KILL BIX.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

NYGARD DOESN'T KNOW HIS WAY
AROUND THE SHIP.

EVEN IF HE
DID KILL BIX,

HE'S NOT THE ONE

THAT REPROGRAMMED
THE SHIP'S COMPUTER.

HUTCH.

WHAT?

SHE'S AMBIDEXTROUS.

AND SHE CAN REPROGRAM
THE COMPUTER.

REVISED FLIGHT COORDINATES
ACCEPTED AND IMPLEMENTED.

GOOD.

NOW I'D LIKE YOU TO LOCK
THOSE COORDINATES, PLEASE.

THANK YOU.

COORDINATES ARE NOW LOCKED,

LOCKED, LOCKED, LOCKED...

YOU'RE WELCOME.

CAPTAIN? CAPTAIN!

AUGIE, I'M HERE.

NYGARD HAS ESCAPED.

HE JUMPED ME.

I'M LOCKED
IN THE SICK BAY.

AUGIE, ARE YOU THERE?

GORD, HEAD FOR THE ARSENAL.

BRING BACK
AS MANY ARTILLERY CANNONS

AS YOU CAN CARRY.

DO IT!

CURTIS,
LOAD A SYRINGE WITH DOPAMINE.

WE WANT TO TAKE
NYGARD ALIVE IF WE CAN.

IRA, WE'VE
GOT A PROBLEM.

WHAT?

THE DOOR WON'T OPEN.

HUTCH,

WHAT'S UP
WITH THESE DOORS?

NOTHING'S UP WITH THE DOORS,
CAPTAIN.

I'VE JUST CHOSEN
TO LOCK THEM DOWN.

YOU SEE,

I'M IN CHARGE NOW...

AND IF WE'VE ALL READ
OUR HISTORY BOOKS,

WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS...

WHEN I'M IN CHARGE.

MR. BERGER,

STILL WITH US?

YEAH, I'M HERE.

GOOD.
VERY GOOD.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

LIEUTENANT HUTCHINSON.

LIEUTENANT,

PLEASE TELL THE OTHERS
THAT YOU'RE OKAY.

CAPTAIN, IT'S HUTCH.

I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T
SEE HIM COMING.

DON'T BLAME HER, IRA.

SHE'S A GOOD SOLDIER,

WHICH IS MORE
THAN I CAN SAY FOR...

AUGIE, IS IT?

DAMN!

NONE OF THE OVERRIDE
CODES ARE WORKING.

IT'S GOT TO BE
THE FIRE-CONTROL SYSTEM.

MR. NYGARD, LISTEN TO ME.

AH, I'M
MR. NYGARD NOW.

AT LAST,

SOME RESPECT.

THIS SHIP IS A HIGHLY COMPLEX
PIECE OF MACHINERY.

MEANING,
IF I GO TOUCHING BUTTONS

LIKE THE ONE
FOR THE FIRE-CONTROL SYSTEM,

YES...

SOUNDS LIKE
YOU'VE HAD A SOME HELP?

ALL THE SAME,
IT IS COMPLEX.

NOW I SUGGEST YOU LISTEN TO ME.
SO WE CAN ALL GET OUT OF HERE.

I SHOULD LISTEN?

OH, THAT'S GOOD, CAPTAIN.

I'M THE ONE WHO HAS YOU
BY THE THROAT,

AND YOU'RE THE ONE
WHO IS ISSUING TERMS?

THIS IS NOT A NEGOTIATION!

BUT IT IS!

YOU WILL DO

EXACTLY AS I SAY.

YOU WILL SET THE QUICKEST
POSSIBLE COURSE

FOR OUR RETURN TO EARTH.

YOU WILL DELIVER ME
TO MY PEOPLE,

AND ONCE YOU HAVE
AGREED TO THAT,

THEN, AND ONLY THEN,

WILL I RETURN
YOUR SHIP TO YOU.

JUST SAY YES,

AND WE'LL GRAB
THE SON OF A BITCH

AS FAST AS WE CAN.

OF COURSE YOU WILL,
GORD.

WHICH IS WHY ALL BUT ONE OF YOU

WILL RETURN TO
YOUR HYPERSLEEP CHAMBERS FIRST.

SO...

SO WE SLEEP, ALL BUT ONE OF US,

AND WHICH ONE WOULD THAT BE,
MR. NYGARD?

TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,
CAPTAIN.

I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY,

BUT I'M SURE ONCE I HAVE YOU
ALL ASSEMBLED IN THE SLEEP BAY,

MY GUESS IS

WE'LL SORT THAT OUT
RATHER QUICKLY.

I DON'T HEAR AN ANSWER,
CAPTAIN.

I NEED AN ANSWER.

WE'RE THINKING.

JUST SAY YES.
GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS.

NO.
I AM ORDERING YOU.

YOUR FAILURE TO ANSWER

MUST MEAN
YOU REJECT MY TERMS.

I SAID WE'RE THINKING.

THINKING IS NOT
AN OPTION.

CLEARLY, I NEED TO IMPRESS YOU
WITH HOW SERIOUS I AM.

CAPTAIN?

HE'S SHUTTING DOWN
THE LIFE-SUPPORT SYSTEM!

THEY'RE SUCKING OUT
THE AIR SUPPLY.

NYGARD,
YOU SON OF A BITCH.

DON'T DO THIS!

GIVE ME WHAT I WANT, CAPTAIN.

IT'S THE ONLY WAY.

CAPTAIN,
LISTEN TO ME.

AND YOU LISTEN TO ME.

THEIR LIVES
ARE IN YOUR HANDS.

YOUR LIFE
IS IN THEIR HANDS.

I SUGGEST
YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR ACTIONS

VERY CAREFULLY.

WHAT EXACTLY IS IT
YOU'RE TRYING TO DO?

HAVE YOU EVER LOVED ANYBODY,
HUTCH?

WHAT?

HAVE YOU EVER LOVED ANYBODY?

A PERSON?

A GROUP OF PEOPLE?

NOT ENOUGH TO KILL FOR THEM.

THEN YOU ARE NOT FIT
TO JUDGE ME.

SO IT'S LEFT AT THE FIRST HOLE,
RIGHT AT THE SECOND?

RIGHT AT THE FIRST HOLE.
RIGHT AT THE FIRST HOLE.

I'M TELLING
YOU GUYS,

GOING INTO
THE WASTE-DISPOSAL SYSTEM

IS A BAD IDEA.

YOU WANT US TO
LET AUGIE DIE?

AUGIE'S
ALREADY DEAD.

YOU'RE JUST GOING TO END UP
KILLING YOURSELVES.

SUIT YOURSELF, GORD.

I'LL TAKE IT OUT
OF YOUR HIDE LATER.

YOU'VE GOT THREE MINUTES
TO GET TO AUGIE.

I'LL MEET YOU
BY THE HATCH

BY THE MAIN
HOLDING TANKS

IN FIVE.

WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE
WHAT I THINK ABOUT IT?

BECAUSE YOU'RE
A REASONABLE PERSON.

WHAT I DID...

IT WAS BAD,

IT WAS CRUEL,

BUT IT WAS NOT
UNREASONABLE.

IT WAS EVIL.

SOMETIMES
THE CHOICES YOU'RE HANDED

ARE TERRIBLY COMPLEX.

GOOD AND EVIL
DO NOT NECESSARILY SIT

ON OPPOSITE SIDES
FROM ONE ANOTHER.

THEY'RE HOPELESSLY
INTERTWINED,

AND AS MUCH AS YOU WANT
ONE THING FOR YOURSELF

AND FOR
YOUR LOVED ONES,

THE ONLY WAY
TO ACHIEVE IT

IS BY WAY
OF THE OTHER.

CAN YOU UNDERSTAND
THIS, HUTCH?

IF I HAD DONE NOTHING...

MY PEOPLE WOULD HAVE DIED.

IN YOUR EYES,

WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN
ANY LESS EVIL?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHY DID IT HAVE TO
COME DOWN TO THAT?

AND THERE IS THE REAL QUESTION.

WAS IT EVIL

THAT I DID
THE ANGEL'S BIDDING,

OR WAS IT MORE EVIL
THAT I HAD NO CHOICE?

AUGIE!

AUGIE,
ARE YOU THERE?

FUCK!

CURTIS?
WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?

DUDE, GET INTO THE PIPE.

IT WAS THE
CAPTAIN'S IDEA.

HE'S HEADING THROUGH
ONE OF THE OTHER LINES

TRYING TO REACH
MAIN CONTROL.

WHY THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING THIS, MAN?

YOU HEARD WHAT NYGARD SAID.

WHAT? I'M TRYING TO SAVE YOU!

AUGIE?

AUGIE!

VIRGIL,

THIS IS AUGIE.

THEY'RE COMING THROUGH
THE WASTE PIPES.

THEY'RE TRYING TO STOP US.

AUGIE, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING, MAN?

I'M NOT THE ENEMY.

DAMNIT!

IS THERE A WAY
TO LOCK THEM IN?

EVEN IF WE COULD,
THEY'D KEEP COMING.

THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO LISTEN.

THEY SHOULD NOT
HAVE DONE THIS.

DON'T KILL THEM.

PLEASE?

WHAT SHALL WE DO, AUGIE?

THEY'RE
YOUR FRIENDS.

AUGIE, COME ON, MAN.
OPEN UP THE PIPE.

AUGIE,
OPEN UP THE PIPE.

WE KEEP GOING.

WE HAVE TO.

I'LL PURGE THE WASTE
SYSTEM FROM HERE.

AUGIE, YOU SON OF A BITCH!

PLEASE,
PLEASE DON'T DO THIS.

AND IF I DON'T
AND THEY STOP US?

THAT TWO SHALL LIVE,
THOUSANDS MAY DIE.

WHICH IS MORE EVIL?
TELL ME.

I'M PURGING
THE SYSTEM NOW.

I AM SORRY, HUTCH.

CURTIS?

CAPTAIN!

HELP ME!

HELP ME, PLEASE!

GRAB ON TO ME,
CURTIS! DO IT!

I CAN'T HOLD ON.

JUST DO WHAT I'M TELLING YOU,
CURTIS.

I CAN'T HOLD ON. HELP ME!

HELP ME.

COME ON, PULL UP.

HOLD ON!

CURTIS!

CURTIS?

HELLO?

OH, AUGIE.

OH, THANK GOD, YOU'RE ALIVE!

I HEARD THE WASTE-DISPOSAL
SYSTEM FLUSHING.

I THOUGHT YOU...

YOU?

YOU'RE ONE OF NYGARD'S PEOPLE?

THERE'S NOWHERE TO HIDE, GORDO!

THERE'S NOWHERE TO HIDE!

WHAT IS THIS?

WHAT IS THIS?

IT'S A COMMUNIQUE.

FROM THE COMPANY.

THE FATE OF MY PEOPLE
IS IN YOUR HANDS, HUTCH.

THERE'S NOTHING MORE
I CAN DO FOR THEM

EXCEPT PRAY THAT
YOU DO THE RIGHT THING.

IF THEY ARE TO SURVIVE,

IT WILL BE BECAUSE
YOU WILL IT SO.

NO, NO, NO.

I DO NOT ACCEPT THAT.

WHAT HAPPENS
TO THOSE PEOPLE

IS NOT
MY RESPONSIBILITY!

BECAUSE LETTING THOUSANDS DIE
MIGHT MAKE YOU EVIL,

AND YOU DON'T THINK
YOU'RE CAPABLE OF THAT?

YOU WILL MAKE
A CHOICE, HUTCH.

AND LIKE I SAID,

YOU'RE A
REASONABLE PERSON.

AND IF YOU THINK IT'S REASONABLE
THAT THOUSANDS MUST DIE,

I ACCEPT THAT.

AUGIE, PLEASE!
PLEASE, AUGIE!

I'M BEGGING YOU HERE.
I CAN HELP YOU.

CAN YOU BRING MY FAMILY
BACK FROM THE DEAD, GORDO?

CAN YOU?

I'M GOING TO
TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I FEEL REAL HORRIBLE
ABOUT KILLING BIX,

AND THE CAPTAIN,

AND CURTIS...

BUT YOU, ON THE OTHER HAND...

PLEASE, AUGIE,
I'M BEGGING YOU HERE.

GET OFF OF ME!

GET OFF!

PUT THE AX DOWN, AUGIE.

CAPTAIN...

I TRIED TO TELL YOU, CAPTAIN.

I TRIED,
BUT YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN TO ME.

PUT IT DOWN, AUGIE.

COME WITH US, PLEASE.

THE COMPANY
DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU!

LOOK AROUND YOU!

AUGIE...

YOU'RE A GOOD MAN,

AND THIS IS
WHAT THEY'VE GIVEN YOU!

PUT IT DOWN.

DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS!

YOU'VE BEEN RUNNING
YOUR WHOLE LIFE, HUTCH.

DON'T YOU THINK
IT'S TIME YOU STOPPED?

HUTCH, ARE YOU OKAY?

I'M OKAY.

YOU ASKED YOURSELF
A QUESTION BEFORE--

HOW DID IT COME TO THIS?

HAVE YOU
ANSWERED IT?

I'VE HAD
JUST ABOUT MY FILL OF YOU.

CAPTAIN...

WITH EVERYTHING, YOU'D THINK
MR. NYGARD DESERVES NOTHING.

MR. NYGARD DESERVES

JUST WHAT THE COMPANY
SAYS HE DESERVES.

WHAT IF THE COMPANY IS WRONG?

WHAT ARE YOU ASKING ME THIS FOR?

HE DIDN'T KILL AUGIE.

THIS WHOLE THING WAS A RUSE

TO TRY AND GET US TO DO
WHAT HE WANTED

WITHOUT ANY OF US DYING.

WE DID THIS
TO OURSELVES--

NOT HIM--US.

WE WERE JUST DOING

WHAT THE COMPANY
WANTED US TO DO,

AND WE WERE WRONG,

SO IF WE JUST GO AROUND DOING
WHAT THE COMPANY WANTS US TO--

WHAT SHE'S TRYING TO SAY
IS THAT YOUR COMMUNIQUE ARRIVED.

AND IT SAID?

"TO CAPTAIN IRA MERIT,

"WITH REGARDS
TO ONE VIRGIL NYGARD

"AND PROCEDURES TO FOLLOW:

"TERMINATE...

WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE."

CAPTAIN...

DON'T START
WITH ME, HUTCH.

YOU'VE GOT A JOB TO DO,
YOU DO IT.

IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE!

YES, IT IS.

ARE YOU PROUD OF THIS?

THAT YOU WOULD JUST KILL A MAN
BECAUSE THE COMPANY TELLS US TO

AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW
THE WHOLE TRUTH?

THIS IS THE ABYSS--

THIS SHIP,

THIS WORLD,

EVERYTHING
THE COMPANY TOUCHES.

WE HAVE A CHOICE HERE.

CAPTAIN,
WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS.

NO, WE DON'T!

NO!

PUT THE GUN DOWN, HUTCH.

PUT THE GUN DOWN.
THAT'S AN ORDER.

THEY WOULD HAVE DONE
THE SAME DAMN THING TO HIM

THE MOMENT HE STEPPED
OUT ON EARTH.

HE KNEW THAT.

SO I DID US ALL A FAVOR.

TRUST ME.

DO YOU EVER FEEL...

LIKE YOUR HANDS ARE DIRTY...

AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHY?

NOW I KNOW WHY.

MADNESS.

MADNESS.

MADNESS.

I GUESS THAT DEPENDS
ON YOUR POINT OF VIEW.

[ HUTCH ]: AND THAT IS HOW

I LEARNED THE TRUTH
ABOUT VIRGIL NYGARD,

AND WHY IT IS
I CHOSE TO COME TO YOU...

AS BOTH A MESSENGER
AND COMRADE-IN-ARMS...

AND YET...

DESPITE THIS TRAGEDY...

I BRING YOU GOOD NEWS...

VIRGIL NYGARD
DID NOT DIE IN VAIN.

POWERFUL IDEAS DO NOT DIE
WITH THOSE WHO GAVE THEM BIRTH,

SO LONG AS
THE SEEDS OF THOSE IDEAS

ARE PLANTED IN THEIR FOLLOWERS.
