All language subtitles for The Outer Limits (1995) - S06E22 - Final Appeal (2) - [DVD][480p][x265 10-bit][AAC 2.0]

Previously
on The Outer Limits,,,

Just got word from the
clerk, We got a writ of cert,

-Cert? -Writ of certiorari,

It means the Supreme Court's
gonna listen to our appeal,

I assume everyone's up to speed on
U, S, v, Givens,

Ah, tell me something, Haden,

do you really believe that this woman
has time traveled here from the past?

As we sit here today,

the future of the two-decade-old
anti-technology codes,

hangs in the balance,

What you see before
you, Your Honors,

are nothing less than the
detonators of the next,

and most certainly final,
technological holocaust,

I'd venture
into the future,

A few days at a time at first,

Eventually, I wound up here

and my heart broke,

This couldn't possibly be 2076,

There are no cars,
no telephones,

no computers,

No sign of an electronic age,

We haven't lost yet,
There's still hope,

Of course,
Somebody will find an answer,

Excuse me, Your Honor,

I think there's one more voice
that you really should hear from

before you can make an
intelligent verdict,

-Who the hell are you?
-I am your conscience,

Justice Harbison,
but you can call me Ezekiel,

It's a bomb,

Technically it's not a bomb,

it's a cold fusion device,

And I strongly advise you to
listen to what I have to say,

otherwise, otherwise I may
just have to set it off,

And then you can say
goodbye to this courtroom,

this city and, uh, what,
maybe half the eastern seaboard,

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 deluge 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,

Please stand by,

How is
the world to survive

once technology makes
possible the day

when one man holds
our fate in his hands?

Now, I'm sure that all
the members of the gallery

will spread the word
when I tell you that

there's a second bomb
secreted somewhere out there,

It's on a timer,

and there's only one
person who can disable it,

Yours truly,

All I have to do is send a little
transmission code to the device,

and we render it impotent,

About as impotent as I'm sure
that you're all feeling about now,

If anyone tries to intervene,

that's it, game over,

Now, get out!

Everybody out, now!

Bailiffs, leave the court,

What is it you want?

You allow interested
parties to file briefs

either for or against the
petitioner in these actions,

Friends-of-the-court statements,

-What's the term?
-Amicus curiae,

Ah, that's it!

I most humbly submit
my amicus curiae,

I mean, I hope that doesn't
sound too unreasonable,

You're threatening us with a fusion device
capable of killing millions of people,

and you want to know if
you sound unreasonable?

The court reporter
is not writing,

Please instruct her to
take all of this down,

Do as he says, Marie,

Thank you very much,

How do we know this thing strapped
to your body is a bomb at all?

Ah, a skeptic, I like that,

Jurisprudence, 1A,

Never accept a fact without
corroborative evidence,

Well, if any of you are
students of cold fusion,

you may remember the young man who invented
it back in the turn of the century,

His name was Seth Todtman,
brilliant young man,

Troubled, yes, but brilliant,

Now, Seth,

Seth had the same problem,

He had a classroom full
of students held hostage

with a fusion
device ticking away,

The problem was that
nobody believed him,

At least not at first,

Nobody wanted to listen to me,

but now

you're going to,

Get down!

Settle down! Settle down!

Every way in and out of this
building has a trash can,

and every trash can is wired
with an explosive device,

which I have just armed,

You won't get away with
this, Seth,

Really?

Define cold fusion,

-What?
-I said define cold fusion,

Cold fusion is, um,

is a release of thermonuclear
energies by devices that operate at

ordinary room temperatures
and pressures,

but, but such devices
are totally impossible,

-We have proof of that, -Really?

I made this one all by myself,

I did it on my kitchen table,

The people who said
it was impossible

were wrong,

and today,

I get to prove that,

Look out the window!
Look out the window!

Now, unlike that young man,
I have faith in your native intelligence,

No, make that, faith in your ability
to judge the difference between

a credible threat and a bluff,

You said you wanted to go
on record in this case, Why?

Well, ma'am, because I care,

I care deeply about the issues,

Does that sound corny?

No,

Well, where do I begin?

Ah, perhaps the beginning,

In the beginning,
God created the heavens and the earth,

and being rather enamored of his own
skills he looked down upon his creation

and he deemed that it was good,

and it was good,

It was damn good,

And then he created the beasts and the
forests, the dogs and the dark woods,

and feeling his oats,
he set about to create man,

Well, actually man and woman,
to be politically correct,

although, I don't believe that God was
but, hey, it was his ball game,

And then, he plunked his creation
down in the garden of Eden,

for they barely had enough
time for a round of croquet

and a conversation with the serpent
before they found themselves

pissing God off,

You see,
they violated his one admonition,

Don't, I say don't,
eat from the tree of knowledge,

But, Adam and Eve,
they weren't buying any of this,

and they paid dearly for it,

As a matter of fact, we have all
paid dearly for it because you see,

paradise was off-limits
to the newlyweds,

It's been off-limits
to us ever since,

What is my point?

My point is,
it wasn't the snake in the grass

and it wasn't the big, red,
juicy, Washington Delicious,

and it wasn't our
innate perversity

that draws us to things that we are
told to shun that was the problem,

The problem was knowledge!

The problem was that
we were thrown headlong

into the same contradiction

that made protoplasmic stew
out of 6,8 billion people

back in June of 2059,

The problem was we thought
that we could handle knowledge,

You're a Luddite,
an anti-technology zealot,

I am also living proof
of my own argument,

All the best
intentions of the world

can be erased in the blink of an
eye at the hand of one mad man,

I'm dealing with
impulse and capability,

Aren't you forgetting
that your side won?

There was a definite roar
of anti-technology sentiment

after the new holocaust,

A million man chorus that
drowned any voices of opposition,

and that's how we wound up here,

Those 200 years of progress
systematically dismantled

and place on the garbage heap,

So, I would ask you,

why do you feel a need to put
a nuclear gun to our heads

and beat a drum that hasn't stopped
pounding for almost 20 years?

Excellent question,
Brother Clayton,

and I think I have an
equally artful rejoinder,

You see, I have got a terrible
feeling in the pit of my stomach,

I've got the sense that we're about to
piss on the closest thing to paradise

since Hotel Eden,

So, all of this is to make sure that
Dr, Givens' conviction is upheld?

Dr,
Givens isn't important,

I am not important,
There isn't a soul in this room

who is important,
What is important,

is that we don't tick God
off one more time because

as smart as he is,

as good as he is, I get the feeling
he's just about run out of patience

with his rather iffy creation,

You were wrong about one
thing, Ezekiel,

Ah, Dr, Givens,

I was waiting for
you to chime in,

You said this wasn't about me,

I said that you
weren't important,

How about the truth then?

Is that important? -

The truth is about the only thing
that I have left in my kit bag, Doc,

Then tell them
where you came from,

how you got here,

and maybe you should tell them that you
were rather infatuated with me once,

A school boy crush
on his mentor,

A sentiment alas unrequited,

I believe your last words
were, "Go to hell,"

Well, I took your
advice, Theresa,

and now I'm back,

May I
address the court?

I think I may be able to shed some
light on what's going on here,

I'm glad somebody can,
Go ahead, Dr, Givens,

"Ezekiel" wasn't
always his name,

He took it from the prophet,

who implored the
Jews in Babylonia

to return to their
godliness and faith,

Daniel Faraday is his real name,

When I started developing
my temporal transporter,

I enlisted a number of
specialists in various fields,

It was a little like the Manhattan
Project in the 20th Century,

Hmm,

An apt analogy I must
say, Theresa,

Everybody's responsibilities
were compartmentalized,

No one knew how the parts
would be put together but me,

Daniel, Ezekiel,

was a bio-physicist for
a company that had some

highly-classified
government contracts,

I believe there's a shorter
job-description, uh,

I believe the word,
"whore" is what you're looking for,

And so the two of
you collaborated?

No, I think that would
be over-stating it,

We did share information, yes,

but I made a critical
breakthrough that

the government and
Daniel never could,

and that's when all
hell broke loose,

Shall I tell them or
would you like to?

Oh, no, by all means, go ahead,

I always say, why let the facts
get in the way of a good story?

That's when Daniel
became Ezekiel,

I had no idea what was going on,

And his behavior became erratic,

He would go on these rants,
rants against the government,

against science,
against technology,

Uh, Dr, Givens,
I must confess that I'm confused,

You say that that man

used your machine
to enter our time,

but was this with or
without you cooperation?

There was no
cooperation on my part,

Daniel and I had a terrible falling
out and then he disappeared,

First sign that he was surfaced

was when there was an
experiment that was sabotaged

at the government
lab where he worked,

-The wormhole's expanding!
-Shut it down,

Abort! Abort!

The override isn't working,

Power emissions are spiking!

Shut it down!

A man called Ezekiel
claimed credit for it,

but I,
I knew who was responsible,

Ezekiel was making the
world safe for democracy,

and damned if he still isn't!

And then there was a break-in at my
lab, papers were stolen,

most of the key documents
from my transporter,

They belong to me as much as they did
her, I was only taking what was mine,

I knew there was only
a matter of time,

before he developed his own
device, -

"Just a matter of
time," I like that,

He took a number of
trips through time

with little or no regard for how
he might be affecting history,

Ladies and gentlemen, I believe the
pot has just called the kettle black,

Pot meet kettle,

You, uh,
don't see the irony here,

Oh, I see irony everywhere,

It's like X-ray vision,

Well, here you were,

a revolutionary railing against
the evils of technology,

and you were employing the most
sophisticated product of that technology,

To what end am I
using that technology?

That is what you
have to ask yourself,

Mr, Chief Justice,

Sometimes it is necessary to
take up the arms of the enemy,

to defeat him,

You, uh, see technology
as enslaving mankind,

-Is that a fair statement? -Ha!

Not only is it fair,
I'd say it is pretty damn prophetic,

Look at these things,

Polygraphic generator,

Re-animation lasers,

Artificial intelligence
arrays, the new golden calf,

Uh, a little bowing and scraping
music, please, maestro,

If you believe machines are the
problem, then I can only assume

you place your faith in
man's innate goodness,

Only when he is not being
crushed by the heavy boot

of science and government,

Only when he has
a fighting chance,

If that's the case,
then I have to ask you, Ezekiel,

why do you feel the need
to force our hand here?

Isn't the highest court of the
land, by definition,

a place where human
judgment reigns supreme,

That presumes that you
haven't been corrupted,

What evidence is
there that we have?

That's funny, Chief Justice,
because to answer that question,

I'm going to put
you on the stand,

You want to interrogate me?

Oh, interrogate's
such a nasty word,

No, I just want to question you,

Haden,
don't fall into this man's trap,

He's already got his finger
on a nuclear trigger,

don't give him anymore power,

And here I thought you were the only cool
head in this chamber, Justice Harbison,

I stand before you as only a lowly private
citizen advocating his point of view,

A point of view that
I believe you share,

I don't believe
in using violence

to undermine the legitimate
authority of this court,

Boilerplate!

Isn't that what you call it?

When you have to plug in standard,
legal language when all else fails?

You want to question me?

I have no problem with that,
but I think it's only fair

that you give up
something in return,

Oh, now we're
negotiating, are we?

Well, I hope you will excuse my
coarse language when I ask you,

do I look like a gosh
darn fool to you?

We're just spinning
our wheels here,

-I put a proposal to
you, Ezekiel, -Mmm,

Disarm that device,
and I will do as you wish,

As a sign of goodwill,
I will disarm this bomb,

Ah, to tell you the truth,

it was getting a little
uncomfortable for me, anyway,

But I will warn you,

I hold the transmitter that is capable
of setting the one off outside,

within a millisecond of my
touching any one of these buttons,

or we can just let it
tick down on the timer

till it goes off
of its own accord,

Now, it's your turn to
show me some good will,

All I ask is that you answer my
questions fairly and honestly,

Now, then, what did you do on the
war, Mr, Wainwright?

I was in the military,

Three-star general
attached to NATO troops,

Then I can assume that you had
a hand in the strategizing?

Well,
it was of very little value,

Few skirmishes in Eastern
Europe and Pan Africa,

The submarine was
sunk in the Atlantic,

So, you weren't consulted in the
possible use of a nuclear arsenal?

I was in communication
with the Pentagon, yes,

Ah, such humility, Haden,

The scope of it I heard was,
you were personal advisor to the pres,

What was your recommendation?

That we not give in
to nuclear blackmail,

Hmm, tough it out, huh?

Give us good as you get,
bomb them back into the Stone Age,

and let God sort it out?

That's your
characterization, not mine,

Sir, Mr, Chief Justice,

you were safely ensconced in a bunker
two miles below the earth's surface,

while four-fifth of the world
was reduced to radioactive jelly!

You're hardly the one
to be sanctimonious!

Well, I learned from the best,

Why don't you tell him that you
traveled through time to other wars,

and I don't recall you telling me about
any heroic efforts to stop the bloodshed,

Well, that was you job,
wasn't it, Theresa?

Hold steady!

- Miriam! Miriam!
- Mama! Mama!

Please, my daughter,
don't make her watch,

No, Mama!

You were
a tourist in hell,

Those were your exact words,

Well, I'm making up for it
now, aren't I?

History will number me among the
greatest of all humanitarians,

Excuse me, Mr, Chief Justice,

We were talking
about the Great War,

Now, in the aftermath,

after all the bloodshed, when the bodies
were being counted, what was your job?

I was appointed with the president to
a taskforce to examine our options,

Huh, would that be the
task force that recommended

the elimination of all
weapons of mass destruction?

That's correct,

And when the mandate
task force expanded,

to include the consideration
of the anti-technology codes,

where did you come
down on that issue?

I was in agreement that
they be considered,

And when the
codes were implemented,

and when the moratorium on all
scientific research was adopted,

you were relieved,

-I was in support, -Hmm,

And that support was unwavering?

Shall I repeat the question?

I'm sitting in judgment on
that question in this court,

I think you know that,

I think it's inappropriate
for me to comment,

All right,
let's change the subject,

Are you familiar with research done by
Drs, McCamber and Houghton

at the early part
of this century?

They were two doctors who discovered a
way to revive necrotic tissues and organs,

-And repair them,
-EZEKIEL: Uh-huh,

Not just to revive dead tissue,

but to revive dead people,

Zombie time, isn't that right?

It proved to be a
flawed technology,

Oh, that is quite
an understatement,

because it did have the
ability to restore human life,

but not the quality
of that life,

Autolysis reversed,
rebuilding neuron networks,

-Reflex! -I don't think so,

Hello, Mr, Reynolds,
Welcome back,

You lost your wife,
Julie to cancer, 10 years ago, am I right?

I don't see that's
relevant here,

Oh, it's relevant,
Mr, Chief Justice,

because you went to the
scientific underground

and tried to illegally
bring her back to life,

She was my life,

Nothing I'd ever achieved

meant anything
after she was gone,

I was inconsolable,

A friend told me about these
renegades in the underground,

They'd actually achieved
the promise of Lazarus,

And what else could you do?
You plucked the apple,

I would have given
my life to save her,

They weren't
successful, I take it?

She had a few moments
of consciousness,

She looked terrified,

Bewildered,

I'll never forget that look,
and I'll never forgive myself,

Never forgive
yourself, your Honor,

or never forgive science?

There's always been a double standard,
hasn't there, Brother Gannon?

One set of laws for the privileged
and another one for the average joe!

Do you
honestly believe

that any ruling made under
threat, of blackmail,

let alone, nuclear annihilation,

could have any validity?

You're making an
assumption, Justice,

Your assuming that I've threatened to use
force if the decision doesn't go my way,

And you're saying, you're not?

I'm not a fool!

I grant you my excesses,

my passions,
my unorthodox protocol,

I did use my threat to, uh,
gain access to this court,

so that you will
hear my testimony,

but the final decisions
still rest in your hands,

untainted by any
sort of intimidation,

Now whatever you
decide, I'll accept,

I can't be stupid enough to believe
that I can dictate the future,

Isn't that exactly
what you're doing?

No, Theresa, it is exactly what you
are trying to do by bringing this

poisonous technology
into the present,

Excuse me, this is just a little
more irony than I can take right now,

Aren't you the
one with the bomb?

Actually, no,

There is no bomb,

There never was a bomb,

Now surely,

you won't me begrudge me
this little bit of assurance,

No, the only bomb here is the

incendiary ignorance that
permeates this courtroom,

this culture, ignorance that would allow
you to sink into the mire once again,

Are you telling us that the
transmitter that you're holding

is not capable of triggering
a cold fusion device?

Boom!

Hmm,

You almost seem
disappointed, Chief Justice,

If what you're saying is true,
then you won't mind surrendering it,

Well,

there are 20 bucks worth of
perfectly good electronics in here,

but I'm sure that once the court
assures itself as to its harmlessness,

I'll be justly compensated,

Put the device down,

You realize the gravity of
your actions here today?

I absolutely do, Chief Justice,

I only wish that I could
be as sure that you did,

What's that?

That's a time travel
controller, your honor,

She's right,
It operates the temporal transporter,

If you all foolish enough
to return to a world where

machines reign over humans,

then I will humbly take my
leave through that device,

-And go where? -Oh!

So many destinations!

Ancient Greece, Renaissance
Italy, anywhere but the future,

If
we let him go now,

what's to prevent him
from coming back later on

creating the same havoc?

If he leaves the controller here
there is no way that he can return,

What about the damage he
could inflict in the past?

He could affect the
world for generations,

Unlike the charade
of this appeal,

I'm not putting
this up to a vote!

I say get him the
hell out of here,

Not quite yet, Justice Woods,

I haven't completed
my presentation,

-What does that mean? -It means,

that I have special
knowledge too,

knowledge of the
future of mankind,

of the world far ahead of the
one visited by Dr, Givens,

I want you to be able to make the
most informed judgment that you can,

Why should we believe
you, Ezekiel?

Because to not believe me would
spell absolute and irreversible doom,

Go ahead, You have five
minutes of this court's time,

Thank you, your Honor,
That's all I need,

If time travel has
taught me anything,

is that the future is malleable,

It can be shaped by our choices,

It's really futures, plural,

The number of
possibilities is infinite,

We can change your
actions today,

and visit those consequences,
10, 50, 100s of years from now,

Not long ago, I went tripping
through one of those possibilities,

into a future where
technology was not outlawed,

Deep into the 24th century,

about 100 years after we started
to colonize other worlds,

One civilization that we tried
to oust from its home planet,

declared war on us!

It not only defeated the human invaders
but then it came to Earth to finish us off,

This is impossible, They,
they have no technology,

Oh, God!

In the end, it was our
false sense of superiority,

our sheer willfulness,
our arrogance,

that defeated us,

It is our arrogance
that will defeat us,

How did
Shakespeare put it?

"Screw your courage to the
sticking-place and we'll not fail,"

Well,
I guess I agree with old Will,

Screw your courage!

Theresa, I believe you're
familiar with this,

It's set, I just need
you to flick this switch,

You can come with
me, you do know that,

If they let your conviction stand,
you'll face the death penalty,

I know that,

Are you so confident that
you'll be vindicated?

No, not at all,

Last chance!

Goodbye, Theresa!

Is he really gone?

Yes, he's gone,

In the light of these
remarkable developments

I'd like to hear from
the two councils,

Approach, please,

I assume that these proceedings
will be declared null and void,

Is that your feeling
too, Ms, Whitley?

I don't know, The question is,
has the judicial process been compromised?

Well, of course it's been
compromised, it's all poison fruit,

How can the Justices' fair
hearing not be compromised

by the presence of a mad man?

A mad man who advocated your
position, I'd remind you, Mr, Gannon,

Come on, look,
isn't the real question here,

not whether we can
unring the bell,

ah, but whether we can make a fair
decision in the wake of all this?

What's the alternative?

Put the nation on hold?
Put the whole damn world on hold,

while start over from scratch?

And then run the risk of the decision
being called double jeopardy?

I say, we take a deep breath
and make our decision,

Mr, Gannon?

I, uh, I would like to make some
final remarks, before it's decided,

Ms, Whitley?

I'd like some time as well,

I'll allow a brief
summary from each side,

-And the appellant? -Yes,

She can speak,

To say that technology is a
double-edged sword is beyond dispute,

But to forgo all of
technology's gifts,

because we have suffered the
consequences of its misuse,

may be the greatest
miscalculation of our time,

Your Honors, I believe,

the time for retreat is over,

We have to stop burying
our heads in the sand,

Society must act now,

Out of love rather than fear,

The same kind of
caring and compassion

that the Chief Justice
himself showed,

when he looked to science to
rekindle the spark of life,

in his beloved wife,

It's time to show
that same compassion

for the future is
still unwritten,

You all witnessed
Dr, Givens' choice

to face judgment
rather than flee,

She acted out of that
very love for human kind,

and I hope that will guide
your ultimate decision,

Thank you,

Mr, Gannon, your final thoughts?

The, uh, state,
as respondent in this appeal,

has been accused in effect
of killing the messenger,

As fate would have it today,
we heard from another messenger,

one with a very different
vision of future,

and while we all
deplore the barbaric way

in which this man foisted his
testimony upon this august body,

ignore only at your
peril, at all our peril,

what his appearance
here signifies,

A few computer chips,
a mingling of rare elements,

a bit of electronic
alchemy and lo and behold,

our cities are held hostage
to the threats of a sociopath,

Now, are we really ready to believe
that what happened here today

won't happen again?

It is we who are
insane by definition,

if we continue to conduct
the same experiment,

see the same results,

yet fail to heed its lessons,

Gentlemen, and lady Justices,

we have already found a
refuge from the plagues,

that science and technology
have visited upon us,

We have found a haven,

Are we ready to give
up that sanctuary,

and tempt fate?

I pray that we are not,

Dr, Givens?

Before you reach your
verdict, ask yourselves this,

Were human beings put
on this earth to witness

the wonders of the universe
or,

or to become one of them?

I believe that our innate
goodness and strength

are greater than our
innate weaknesses,

and our innate evil,

Are the fears

of science reemerging as an
uncontrollable monster, legitimate ones?

Maybe so, but I'm

naive enough to hope

that we can overcome whatever
obstacles that await us,

that we can take
control of our destiny,

and realize in the
best in ourselves,

The real miracles are miracles

at the outer limits
of our imagination

are yet to come,

Don't
everybody talk at once,

What else is there to say?

I think we've all
staked out our turf,

Just so we're clear,

can we consider the
words of a terrorist

who threatened to blow
us to kingdom come?

Every case we hear we draw
upon the body of the law

and a lifetime of
personal experience,

I don't think we can exclude from that
experience what we went through today,

So, what does a strict
constructionist make of all this?

We pulled the world back from the
brink, once in this generation,

I'm not about to
push it back in,

If I do nothing else

in my remaining
days on this earth,

but negate my good
friend Ollie's vote,

I will consider it
a life worth spent!

I will not send that
woman to her death,

Much less, every child who goes to bed
at night praying for a better world,

You're all so full of surprises,

So surprise us,

Tell us you weren't moved
by that woman's plea,

Oh, I was moved,

Sick to the stomach, moved,

but you cannot erase
the lessons of history

with one emotionally
charged speech,

When I came on this bench,

I made one,
solemn promise to myself

and that was to always
put justice first,

What the hell good is some
abstract notion of justice

in the face of everything
you've just seen and heard?

Now, you know better than to cross
rhetorical swords with me, Kendall,

You're gonna have to break
the tie after all, Haden,

Yes, I know that,

So, what do you
think, old friend?

We have
invented and created

and sought answers to the
mysteries of the universe

since we first
emerged from the cave,

Some of those inventions
were used to enlighten,

Others were used to destroy,

A rose, no matter how
enticing, has its thorns,

How are we to know when the torch
we've be handed will be used to

light our way
through the darkness,

or to burn down our
homes and cities?

The truth is, we can't know,

Machines themselves have
no intrinsic morality,

It's up to society to invest
them with a higher purpose,

In the opinion of this Justice,

the danger of denying our true
nature, our natural curiosity,

of denying our thirst
for unencumbered freedom,

is one we can no longer ignore,

May we always seek the light,

The vote is three to two,
in favor to the appellate,

Congratulations, Dr, Givens,
you are a free woman,

I wish that I could
be there in person,

but I left behind this
holographic message,

Consider it a consolation
to our defeat,

I'm sure that Theresa's
persuasiveness

and your own
gullibility were such,

that her cause prevailed,
Well, unfortunately

that victory will
be short lived,

Maybe now,
the world will heed my warning!

Oh, God, no,

What is it? What's happening?

Do something, use your machine!

I can't!

No time!

Ahhh!

I would like to propose a
toast, To the future!

Beware of false gods,

false promises,

but most of all, beware of me,

If we
fail to be vigilant,

we may find that
the same miracles

which define our
greatness as a species,
