1
00:00:34,134 --> 00:00:36,432
Just got word from the
clerk, We got a writ of cert,
2
00:00:36,865 --> 00:00:37,963
Cert?
3
00:00:37,996 --> 00:00:39,129
Writ of certiorari,
4
00:00:39,162 --> 00:00:41,593
It means the Supreme Court's
gonna listen to our appeal,
5
00:00:41,626 --> 00:00:42,625
Really?
6
00:00:45,489 --> 00:00:48,986
Might show a little
more enthusiasm,
7
00:00:49,019 --> 00:00:51,936
You don't understand the procedural
hoops we had to go through to get this,
8
00:00:53,414 --> 00:00:57,077
I've been, uh,
sentenced to hang, Nicki,
9
00:00:57,110 --> 00:00:59,475
Forgive me if I don't feel
like standing up and cheering,
10
00:01:02,272 --> 00:01:03,470
Sorry,
11
00:01:08,133 --> 00:01:10,297
I know they think I'm crazy,
12
00:01:12,228 --> 00:01:13,960
You should see the
way they look at me,
13
00:01:16,823 --> 00:01:18,231
You should get ready,
they are gonna move you
14
00:01:18,255 --> 00:01:20,519
to another holding facility
right next to the court,
15
00:01:20,552 --> 00:01:22,118
Be honest, what are my chances?
16
00:01:25,648 --> 00:01:27,555
It's hard to say,
there has never been a case like this,
17
00:01:27,579 --> 00:01:30,776
You remember, Cassandra?
Greek mythology,
18
00:01:30,809 --> 00:01:31,967
She had the gift of prophesy,
19
00:01:32,574 --> 00:01:35,504
More like a curse,
20
00:01:35,537 --> 00:01:39,001
Apollo gave her the ability to see
the future in exchange for her favors,
21
00:01:39,034 --> 00:01:41,165
when she spurned
him, he punished her,
22
00:01:41,198 --> 00:01:42,430
Didn't matter what she,,,
23
00:01:43,263 --> 00:01:44,261
Foresaw,
24
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,926
It fell on deaf ears,
25
00:01:48,057 --> 00:01:49,057
I feel like,,,
26
00:01:50,189 --> 00:01:52,354
I'm being punished by the Gods,
27
00:01:54,717 --> 00:01:56,549
Come on,
28
00:01:56,583 --> 00:01:59,189
I've been pulling court watches, they
feel were on the brink of a sea change,
29
00:01:59,213 --> 00:02:01,710
This isn't about a sea change,
30
00:02:01,744 --> 00:02:06,006
This is about waking up and realizing
that we're on a collision course
31
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,338
with extinction,
32
00:02:08,703 --> 00:02:10,967
I've seen the future,
I've been there,
33
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,166
I know you have,
34
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:17,968
When the outlawed technology,
they paved the way to the final apocalypse,
35
00:02:34,411 --> 00:02:37,540
Keep the faith, all right?
We're gonna get through this,
36
00:02:37,573 --> 00:02:39,971
It's not about me,
I could give a damn at this point,
37
00:02:42,003 --> 00:02:44,134
But if I go down,
38
00:02:45,399 --> 00:02:47,219
so does the whole world,
39
00:03:11,690 --> 00:03:14,326
There is nothing
wrong with your television,
40
00:03:14,359 --> 00:03:17,190
Do not attempt to
adjust the picture,
41
00:03:17,222 --> 00:03:20,151
We are now controlling
the transmission,
42
00:03:20,183 --> 00:03:24,023
We control the horizontal
and the vertical,
43
00:03:24,055 --> 00:03:27,016
We can deluge you with
a thousand channels
44
00:03:27,048 --> 00:03:30,954
or expand one single
image to crystal clarity
45
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:32,678
and beyond,
46
00:03:33,785 --> 00:03:35,476
We can shape your vision
47
00:03:35,509 --> 00:03:38,275
to anything our
imagination can conceive,
48
00:03:40,845 --> 00:03:42,700
For the next hour,
49
00:03:42,733 --> 00:03:46,833
we will control all
that you see and hear,
50
00:03:53,406 --> 00:03:57,180
You are about to experience
the awe and mystery
51
00:03:57,213 --> 00:04:00,141
which reaches from
the deepest inner mind
52
00:04:00,174 --> 00:04:02,646
to The Outer Limits,
53
00:04:04,046 --> 00:04:05,022
Please stand by,
54
00:04:11,418 --> 00:04:15,767
What will become of a world
that outlaws the very tools
55
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,788
it has always looked
to for solutions,
56
00:04:25,659 --> 00:04:27,618
Oh, Earl,
57
00:04:27,650 --> 00:04:29,709
Come on,
you know better than that,
58
00:04:29,742 --> 00:04:32,863
Chief Justice sees you eating in
here again, there'll be hell to pay,
59
00:04:32,896 --> 00:04:35,319
I've been reading
briefs all morning,
60
00:04:35,352 --> 00:04:37,742
If I don't get some food in me,
I'll be gnawing on his gabble,
61
00:04:38,605 --> 00:04:40,099
Where's Haden?
62
00:04:40,133 --> 00:04:43,485
Supposed to be in session
in 20 minutes, Oh, boy,
63
00:04:43,518 --> 00:04:46,871
That BLT looks good,
you mind if I,,,
64
00:04:46,904 --> 00:04:50,721
Damn right, I mind, get your own
grub, Come on, away with you,
65
00:04:50,755 --> 00:04:54,008
Elise, could you check the
Chief's shelly bean stash?
66
00:04:54,041 --> 00:04:55,900
Not without an executive order,
67
00:04:55,933 --> 00:04:57,859
Can't believe they
forgot the pickle spear,
68
00:04:59,186 --> 00:05:02,207
Sorry I'm late, everyone,
69
00:05:02,241 --> 00:05:04,000
My fool of a horse threw a shoe,
70
00:05:04,033 --> 00:05:06,955
Hope for the days when
the horse threw a rod,
71
00:05:06,988 --> 00:05:09,245
Getting nostalgic for
pollution, are we?
72
00:05:11,535 --> 00:05:15,154
I assume everyone's up to speed on
U, S, v, Givens,
73
00:05:15,187 --> 00:05:16,325
Ah, tell me something, Haden,
74
00:05:16,349 --> 00:05:18,274
do you really believe
that this woman
75
00:05:18,308 --> 00:05:20,664
has time traveled
here from the past?
76
00:05:20,697 --> 00:05:24,050
Well, you read our
science advisor's brief,
77
00:05:24,083 --> 00:05:28,897
It's just that our science
advisors understand technology
78
00:05:28,930 --> 00:05:32,084
the way an archeologist understands
the how the pyramids were built,
79
00:05:32,117 --> 00:05:34,606
Which is to say, not at all,
80
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:36,167
Oh, come on, Oli,
81
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,917
we have totally authenticated evidence
that this woman was born in 1954,
82
00:05:41,112 --> 00:05:43,237
And is she's 122,
83
00:05:43,270 --> 00:05:44,499
I want her beauty secrets,
84
00:05:45,860 --> 00:05:47,154
I'll tell you what I think,
85
00:05:47,187 --> 00:05:50,773
This time traveler or whatever
you want to call her,,,
86
00:05:50,805 --> 00:05:52,997
Her arrival here is like
a gift from the Gods,
87
00:05:53,030 --> 00:05:57,942
gives us a chance to steer the ship
of state off its disaster course,
88
00:05:57,976 --> 00:06:01,495
Oh, just what I expected
from a bleeding heart,
89
00:06:01,528 --> 00:06:03,818
We overturn the appellant
court's decision,
90
00:06:03,851 --> 00:06:06,640
we open the door for the demons
of science and technology
91
00:06:06,673 --> 00:06:09,031
to descend on us all over again,
92
00:06:09,064 --> 00:06:13,280
And this time they won't be content to
wipe out 80% of the earth's population,
93
00:06:13,313 --> 00:06:15,902
There's not going to be anything
left to render an opinion, but,,,
94
00:06:15,935 --> 00:06:17,594
Cockroaches and tumble weeds,
95
00:06:18,890 --> 00:06:20,848
One thing is certain,
96
00:06:22,773 --> 00:06:25,529
The American people
will be watching us,
97
00:06:28,317 --> 00:06:30,143
The world will be watching us,
98
00:06:31,504 --> 00:06:33,495
I only hope God gives
us the wisdom to
99
00:06:34,359 --> 00:06:35,554
get it right,
100
00:07:06,392 --> 00:07:09,114
Wallace Gannon,
Solicitor General,
101
00:07:09,148 --> 00:07:11,305
Top gun in the
government's arsenal,
102
00:07:11,338 --> 00:07:15,421
Waiting for a landmark case like
this ever since his appointment,
103
00:07:15,454 --> 00:07:18,575
There are only five chairs,
I thought there were nine Justices,
104
00:07:18,608 --> 00:07:21,264
Not since 2062,
Congress picks its number,
105
00:07:21,297 --> 00:07:23,129
It's changed seven times
since the first court,
106
00:07:24,152 --> 00:07:25,280
Here they come,
107
00:07:25,313 --> 00:07:27,372
All rise
108
00:07:27,405 --> 00:07:30,923
for the justices of the
United States Supreme Court,
109
00:07:41,081 --> 00:07:42,376
Please be seated,
110
00:07:47,522 --> 00:07:51,273
I don't have to remind anyone
in this hallowed court room,
111
00:07:51,306 --> 00:07:55,987
that the case we take up today has ramifications
far beyond the fate of the appellant,
112
00:07:56,484 --> 00:07:58,111
Dr, Givens,
113
00:07:58,144 --> 00:08:00,169
As we sit here today,
114
00:08:00,203 --> 00:08:04,783
the future of the two-decade-old
anti-technology codes,
115
00:08:04,816 --> 00:08:07,406
operative not only
in this country,
116
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:10,592
but by international agreement
throughout the world,
117
00:08:10,626 --> 00:08:13,083
hangs in the balance,
118
00:08:13,116 --> 00:08:19,223
Whether we maintain our ban on technology
or we start that mighty engine,
119
00:08:19,256 --> 00:08:23,074
they will be determined,
by our actions today,
120
00:08:23,107 --> 00:08:26,659
We'll begin by hearing from the
respondent, the Solicitor General,
121
00:08:27,589 --> 00:08:28,585
Mr, Gannon,
122
00:08:31,174 --> 00:08:36,452
I think that we can all agree
that there is nothing commonplace
123
00:08:36,485 --> 00:08:39,108
about the state's case against
Dr, Theresa Givens,
124
00:08:40,469 --> 00:08:44,983
But to say that it
is without precedent,
125
00:08:45,017 --> 00:08:49,299
is to ask me to surrender the
numerous sidings of case law,
126
00:08:49,332 --> 00:08:51,622
which we've detailed
in our brief,
127
00:08:51,655 --> 00:08:57,265
The defense stipulates that Dr,
Givens invented a time travel device,
128
00:08:57,299 --> 00:09:00,353
in the last decade
of the 20th century,
129
00:09:00,386 --> 00:09:05,034
And she used that invention
to convey herself to our time,
130
00:09:06,395 --> 00:09:10,046
Along with a veritable
arsenal of electronic devices,
131
00:09:10,079 --> 00:09:13,034
Now, why?
132
00:09:13,067 --> 00:09:17,349
In her own words,
before the Ninth Circuit Court, quote,
133
00:09:17,382 --> 00:09:21,498
"I wanted to begin a new
Industrial Revolution,
134
00:09:21,532 --> 00:09:26,213
"I wanted to re-kindle the
flame of scientific innovation,"
135
00:09:26,246 --> 00:09:29,365
And that's exactly
what she tried to do,
136
00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:33,250
She was arrested attempting to
deliver blueprints and prototypes
137
00:09:33,283 --> 00:09:34,345
to anti-code realms,
138
00:09:34,379 --> 00:09:36,768
But you're not saying "why",
139
00:09:36,802 --> 00:09:39,225
Please sit
down, Dr, Givens,
140
00:09:39,258 --> 00:09:41,649
You'll have your
opportunity to respond,
141
00:09:41,682 --> 00:09:46,295
Not only has appellant's counsel
stipulated to her smuggling being,,,
142
00:09:46,328 --> 00:09:50,180
Objection, prejudicial,
We never use the term "smuggling",
143
00:09:50,213 --> 00:09:56,154
Fine, transporting these items
into our time into our country,
144
00:09:56,188 --> 00:10:01,400
Defense also acknowledges that
Dr, Givens had already used
145
00:10:01,433 --> 00:10:05,848
the time travel machine,
repeatedly, for a darker purpose,
146
00:10:25,201 --> 00:10:26,861
Beck?
147
00:10:26,894 --> 00:10:27,990
How did you get in here?
148
00:10:28,023 --> 00:10:29,018
Are you Robert Beck?
149
00:10:30,313 --> 00:10:31,475
Who wants to know?
150
00:10:32,637 --> 00:10:34,529
Are you Robert Beck?
151
00:10:34,562 --> 00:10:37,284
Yeah, Yeah, I'm Beck,
152
00:10:37,317 --> 00:10:41,433
On September 13th, 1994,,,
153
00:10:41,467 --> 00:10:44,222
-What is this?
-,,,you were executed
154
00:10:44,255 --> 00:10:47,788
for the willful
murder of eight women,
155
00:10:52,545 --> 00:10:55,665
I am here to carry out that
just and legal sentence,
156
00:10:55,698 --> 00:10:57,581
I don't understand,
157
00:10:58,441 --> 00:10:59,184
Only one of us has to,
158
00:10:59,219 --> 00:11:01,644
Just wait a minute, wait,
159
00:11:35,834 --> 00:11:40,017
The reality is
that she employed the device
160
00:11:40,050 --> 00:11:43,138
to convey herself, to the past,
161
00:11:43,169 --> 00:11:45,627
Where,
by her own written account,
162
00:11:46,689 --> 00:11:49,112
she murdered, in cold blood,
163
00:11:49,810 --> 00:11:52,215
no less than 17 victims,
164
00:11:58,291 --> 00:12:01,279
I'm obliged to remind
the honorable Mr, Gannon
165
00:12:01,312 --> 00:12:03,933
that my client was never
charged with murder,
166
00:12:03,968 --> 00:12:05,892
and for good reason,
If you recall
167
00:12:05,924 --> 00:12:09,809
the Theresa Givens who committed
those acts in another time stream,
168
00:12:09,843 --> 00:12:14,290
saved untold lives by stopping
their killers before they acted,
169
00:12:14,324 --> 00:12:17,078
Your Honors,
she paid dearly for what she did,
170
00:12:20,432 --> 00:12:22,325
Shh, Come here,
171
00:12:22,357 --> 00:12:25,213
Look, stay still,
I'm warning you, okay?
172
00:12:30,258 --> 00:12:31,686
Let me go!
173
00:12:31,718 --> 00:12:34,008
Let's see what you got, Shh,
174
00:12:36,167 --> 00:12:39,752
Okay, you be a good girl
now or I'm going to get mad!
175
00:12:39,784 --> 00:12:41,943
Stop, Leave her
alone, -
176
00:12:42,540 --> 00:12:43,637
What is this?
177
00:12:43,669 --> 00:12:47,321
I dreamed about
you for 15 years,
178
00:12:47,353 --> 00:12:50,806
I thought you were 10 feet
tall with horns and fangs,
179
00:12:50,838 --> 00:12:52,078
I don't know what
game you're playing,
180
00:12:52,101 --> 00:12:54,192
but you're screwing with
the wrong guy, lady,
181
00:12:54,224 --> 00:12:56,748
Do you have any idea,
what you did to me?
182
00:12:56,781 --> 00:12:58,873
You stole my life!
183
00:12:58,905 --> 00:13:00,599
No, wait,
184
00:13:00,633 --> 00:13:02,358
Now, everyone, just calm down,
185
00:13:02,390 --> 00:13:04,582
I don't wanna hurt
the little girl,
186
00:13:04,616 --> 00:13:07,205
She and I just gonna
go for a little walk,
187
00:13:07,238 --> 00:13:10,358
I'll keep her company for a little
while, then I'll let her go,
188
00:13:10,392 --> 00:13:14,806
You are so right, Nothing matters,
nothing I ever did helped,
189
00:13:14,839 --> 00:13:19,021
Drugs, therapy,
killing monsters like you,
190
00:13:19,055 --> 00:13:20,515
I mean it!
191
00:13:20,549 --> 00:13:22,741
Anything would be
better than this pain,
192
00:13:22,774 --> 00:13:24,400
All I want is for it to be over,
193
00:13:24,434 --> 00:13:25,794
You get down,,,
194
00:13:33,355 --> 00:13:36,010
So, you're saying,
Theresa Givens,
195
00:13:36,043 --> 00:13:38,534
the woman who committed
these murders,
196
00:13:38,566 --> 00:13:40,028
actually died in
that confrontation?
197
00:13:40,691 --> 00:13:41,951
That's right,
198
00:13:41,986 --> 00:13:45,604
And, uh,
the young woman who was rescued,,,
199
00:13:45,637 --> 00:13:48,126
She went on to create her
own time travel device,
200
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,715
She's the Theresa Givens you
see here today before you,
201
00:13:51,778 --> 00:13:53,272
Uh, Mr, Gannon,
202
00:13:53,304 --> 00:13:57,554
-Yes, -Please,
let's just clarify,
203
00:13:57,587 --> 00:14:01,936
You're not alleging that the appellant
here committed any of these murders?
204
00:14:01,969 --> 00:14:05,720
If we accept a wrong
definition of times dreams
205
00:14:05,753 --> 00:14:08,740
and the possibilities they
allow, then yes,
206
00:14:08,774 --> 00:14:12,691
One incarnation of Dr, Givens did
in fact engage in a murder spree,
207
00:14:13,688 --> 00:14:15,412
In any event,
208
00:14:15,447 --> 00:14:19,961
no one can contest the
violence-riddled repercussions
209
00:14:19,994 --> 00:14:21,522
of her time travel device,
210
00:14:22,816 --> 00:14:25,141
Now,
with the court's permission,
211
00:14:25,173 --> 00:14:28,857
and in accord with rule 32 for
the submissions of exhibits,
212
00:14:28,891 --> 00:14:31,680
I'd like to present that device
213
00:14:31,713 --> 00:14:36,624
along with the very scientific
touchstones of the pre-apocalyptic era,
214
00:14:36,659 --> 00:14:38,485
The possession and use of which
215
00:14:38,517 --> 00:14:40,409
were the foundation
of the state's case,
216
00:14:40,444 --> 00:14:41,771
Objection,
217
00:14:41,804 --> 00:14:43,695
Parading the evidence
in the court room
218
00:14:43,729 --> 00:14:46,086
is just grandstanding and
the respondent knows that,
219
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,510
I'm going to allow it,
Proceed, Mr, Gannon,
220
00:14:48,543 --> 00:14:49,539
Thank you,
221
00:15:08,486 --> 00:15:10,776
What you see before
you, Your Honors,
222
00:15:10,809 --> 00:15:14,129
are nothing less than the
detonators of the next,
223
00:15:14,162 --> 00:15:17,846
and most certainly final,
technological holocaust,
224
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,038
Mr, Gannon,
225
00:15:20,071 --> 00:15:25,714
please, a knife can be used as an instrument
of homicide, but we don't outlaw cutlery,
226
00:15:25,748 --> 00:15:30,660
Your view that these inventions
themselves constitute a palpable threat
227
00:15:30,693 --> 00:15:32,983
is a matter of some debate,
228
00:15:33,017 --> 00:15:37,034
My good friend, Justice Woods,
comments are duly noted for the record,
229
00:15:37,067 --> 00:15:38,527
Go on, Mr, Gannon,
230
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:39,723
Thank you,
231
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,661
The petitioner's brief contends
that the anti-technological codes
232
00:15:46,694 --> 00:15:52,635
are in violation of both the spirit
and the letter of the constitution,
233
00:15:52,668 --> 00:15:57,117
Now, I draw your attention
to a phrase from the preamble
234
00:15:57,150 --> 00:15:59,341
to that venerable document,
235
00:15:59,375 --> 00:16:02,860
which describes its
all embracing purpose
236
00:16:02,893 --> 00:16:06,179
to promote the general welfare,
237
00:16:06,213 --> 00:16:12,022
These laws in question were
designed to protect, to nurture,
238
00:16:12,055 --> 00:16:18,196
to shelter the flickering candle of
civilization from the howling winds of war,
239
00:16:18,229 --> 00:16:21,283
And members of the court, these laws
are proven worthy, and affective,
240
00:16:21,316 --> 00:16:26,097
Our society has flourished
since their implementation,
241
00:16:26,130 --> 00:16:31,840
They have rescued us from spiraling
into an unspeakable abyss,
242
00:16:34,263 --> 00:16:39,110
Now, I'll reserve the rest of my time for
a response to the petitioner's counsel,
243
00:16:39,873 --> 00:16:41,666
Thank you, Mr, Gannon,
244
00:16:41,699 --> 00:16:43,524
We will now hear from
appellant counsel,
245
00:16:47,740 --> 00:16:50,131
Mr, Gannon has just quoted
from the stirring language
246
00:16:50,164 --> 00:16:53,815
of the constitution
and if I might,,,
247
00:16:53,848 --> 00:16:58,330
I'd like to quote from that
self-same well-spring of democracy,
248
00:16:58,363 --> 00:17:01,517
Article 1, section 8, clause 8,
249
00:17:01,550 --> 00:17:04,803
which grants rights to
inventors, quote,
250
00:17:04,836 --> 00:17:09,849
"To promote the progress of science
and the useful arts," unquote,
251
00:17:11,940 --> 00:17:17,251
Even in 1789,
nearly three centuries ago,
252
00:17:17,284 --> 00:17:21,932
the founder saw the promise
in science and technology,
253
00:17:21,965 --> 00:17:25,882
Is there any aspect of our
lives that was not enhanced
254
00:17:25,915 --> 00:17:30,696
by Industrial Revolution
or the spirit of discovery?
255
00:17:30,729 --> 00:17:35,376
From agriculture to
manufacturing to communications,
256
00:17:35,410 --> 00:17:38,596
What about the advances
in medical technology,
257
00:17:38,629 --> 00:17:42,115
that not only dramatically
extended our lifespans,
258
00:17:42,148 --> 00:17:46,132
but improved the quality
of those lives as well,
259
00:17:46,165 --> 00:17:52,074
Advances in technology that allow diseased
organs to be replaced by donor organs,
260
00:17:52,107 --> 00:17:54,729
culminating in the first
full body transplant,
261
00:17:57,327 --> 00:18:00,280
We're moving
the head of the donor,
262
00:18:00,314 --> 00:18:03,402
You'll see that we've left 8 cm
scale of exposed final column
263
00:18:03,435 --> 00:18:04,929
with brain stem still attached,
264
00:18:07,152 --> 00:18:09,875
from the donor's medulla
oblongata, to the pons,
265
00:18:14,057 --> 00:18:15,053
Ready for transfer,
266
00:18:19,003 --> 00:18:22,356
Advances in artificial
intelligence and robotics
267
00:18:22,388 --> 00:18:25,510
relieved us of tedious
and burdensome tasks,
268
00:18:28,862 --> 00:18:31,618
We produce more goods,
we work less hours,
269
00:18:31,650 --> 00:18:35,269
They gave us more time to
enjoy the fruits of our labor,
270
00:18:35,302 --> 00:18:38,157
To spend time with our families,
271
00:18:38,191 --> 00:18:43,301
Our children were
healthier, smarter, happier,
272
00:18:43,335 --> 00:18:46,588
It hardly seems necessary
to count these as blessings,
273
00:18:47,452 --> 00:18:49,177
But blessings they were,
274
00:18:49,211 --> 00:18:53,260
Uh, uh, I hate to intrude
on your speechifying,
275
00:18:53,294 --> 00:18:56,547
but there were some conspicuous
examples of scientific innovation
276
00:18:57,079 --> 00:18:58,539
you omitted,
277
00:18:58,573 --> 00:19:01,195
You skipped right
over the atomic bomb,
278
00:19:01,228 --> 00:19:05,610
fusion technology, genetic
tampering, just to name a few,
279
00:19:05,644 --> 00:19:09,029
I understand, Justice Harbison,
280
00:19:09,062 --> 00:19:11,751
that science and technology
would be held responsible
281
00:19:11,783 --> 00:19:13,810
for what happened to
our world 20 years ago,
282
00:19:14,540 --> 00:19:16,963
But talk about an abyss?
283
00:19:16,996 --> 00:19:21,080
We have become so fearful,
so phobic about change,
284
00:19:21,113 --> 00:19:23,934
that we are plunging
headlong into a new dark age,
285
00:19:23,968 --> 00:19:27,922
And God only knows when
we're going to emerge,
286
00:19:32,222 --> 00:19:36,040
If I may, I'd like to bring
my client up to the podium,
287
00:19:36,073 --> 00:19:40,555
The truth is, what she has
to say is far more important
288
00:19:40,587 --> 00:19:42,513
than anything I could
argue in her defense,
289
00:19:55,724 --> 00:19:58,313
I've always been a
very curious person,
290
00:20:00,041 --> 00:20:01,102
I grew up wondering,,,
291
00:20:02,464 --> 00:20:03,790
Why is the sky blue?
292
00:20:04,854 --> 00:20:07,211
Why do we dream?
293
00:20:07,244 --> 00:20:09,866
What is artificial intelligence?
294
00:20:09,900 --> 00:20:14,215
And because I had such
a natural curiosity,
295
00:20:15,875 --> 00:20:17,767
I gravitated towards science,
296
00:20:19,924 --> 00:20:21,186
The term of choice
297
00:20:22,082 --> 00:20:24,007
in those days was "nerd",
298
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,488
I don't know what
you call them now,
299
00:20:28,523 --> 00:20:32,805
Maybe,
you've outlawed nerds too?
300
00:20:34,996 --> 00:20:36,988
When I was a teenager, I,,,
301
00:20:37,884 --> 00:20:39,443
I came very close to dying,
302
00:20:40,971 --> 00:20:44,223
I was abducted by a psychopath,
303
00:20:44,258 --> 00:20:46,946
He tried to rape me and he
certainly would have killed me,
304
00:20:49,170 --> 00:20:51,592
The woman who
stopped the assault
305
00:20:53,452 --> 00:20:55,078
was none other than me,
306
00:20:57,038 --> 00:20:59,096
It was me grown up,
307
00:21:00,390 --> 00:21:04,772
It was the woman who first
invented time travel,
308
00:21:06,565 --> 00:21:07,925
It was the woman
309
00:21:08,755 --> 00:21:09,984
I would become,
310
00:21:12,341 --> 00:21:15,229
And she did much more
than save my life,
311
00:21:17,485 --> 00:21:21,602
She changed it forever,
312
00:21:21,635 --> 00:21:24,954
I wound up falling in love
313
00:21:26,416 --> 00:21:27,478
with the idea
314
00:21:28,972 --> 00:21:34,016
of harnessing time
streams, like,,,
315
00:21:34,050 --> 00:21:38,000
Well, much like a poet
falls in love with words,
316
00:21:38,034 --> 00:21:40,624
a musician falls in love
with his instrument,
317
00:21:42,182 --> 00:21:43,179
Science
318
00:21:44,772 --> 00:21:46,564
was my expression,
319
00:21:48,026 --> 00:21:49,686
A way to loose myself,
320
00:21:51,644 --> 00:21:53,503
A way to find myself,
321
00:21:55,661 --> 00:22:00,574
What exactly did you see as your
mission, Dr, Givens?
322
00:22:00,606 --> 00:22:02,000
I didn't know,
323
00:22:02,034 --> 00:22:03,761
That's just it, I didn't know,
324
00:22:03,793 --> 00:22:06,781
Maybe you could see me
as some kind of a,,,
325
00:22:06,815 --> 00:22:09,304
An explorer of sorts,
326
00:22:09,337 --> 00:22:12,058
I'd venture into the future,
327
00:22:12,093 --> 00:22:14,847
A few days at a time at first,
328
00:22:14,881 --> 00:22:15,878
Then some months,
329
00:22:17,073 --> 00:22:19,097
Eventually, I wound up here
330
00:22:20,790 --> 00:22:22,085
and my heart broke,
331
00:22:22,948 --> 00:22:24,740
How so?
332
00:22:24,773 --> 00:22:27,993
At first I thought it was something to
do with the settings on my computer,
333
00:22:29,088 --> 00:22:33,370
This couldn't
possibly be the 2076,
334
00:22:34,135 --> 00:22:35,131
I thought
335
00:22:36,358 --> 00:22:37,652
there are no cars,
336
00:22:38,285 --> 00:22:39,280
no telephones,
337
00:22:40,042 --> 00:22:41,039
no computers,
338
00:22:42,102 --> 00:22:43,396
no CAT scans,
339
00:22:43,429 --> 00:22:47,910
No sign of an electronic age
340
00:22:47,944 --> 00:22:52,989
and precious few signs
of anything more advanced
341
00:22:54,084 --> 00:22:55,248
than the light bulb,
342
00:22:56,275 --> 00:22:59,430
When I returned
back to my own time,
343
00:22:59,462 --> 00:23:01,960
I began to think
344
00:23:01,994 --> 00:23:07,256
what would happen to a world
that turned its back on science,
345
00:23:07,538 --> 00:23:10,302
So you traveled deeper
into the future?
346
00:23:10,965 --> 00:23:12,510
Yes, I did,
347
00:23:13,655 --> 00:23:14,650
Thirty more years,
348
00:23:15,613 --> 00:23:16,807
2105,
349
00:23:19,231 --> 00:23:20,824
Can you tell us what you
saw, Dr, Givens?
350
00:23:23,115 --> 00:23:24,111
It was horrible,
351
00:23:26,534 --> 00:23:28,858
A virus slipped
over this planet,
352
00:23:28,891 --> 00:23:31,945
No part of this world
353
00:23:31,979 --> 00:23:33,505
was left untouched,
354
00:23:33,538 --> 00:23:36,459
And there were no scientific
tools to combat it,
355
00:23:36,492 --> 00:23:39,480
except small amounts of serum
356
00:23:39,513 --> 00:23:42,335
that the renegade
researchers created,
357
00:23:42,368 --> 00:23:45,422
And they weren't enough
to stem the tide of death,
358
00:23:45,456 --> 00:23:47,215
You need to get
us more supplies,
359
00:23:47,248 --> 00:23:48,386
-We need more supplies,,,
-MAN: No, ma'am, not me,
360
00:23:48,410 --> 00:23:50,402
We're running out
of fresh water,
361
00:23:50,435 --> 00:23:51,790
We don't have any more
food, We,,,
362
00:23:54,717 --> 00:23:55,946
I can't help you, ma'am,
363
00:23:58,236 --> 00:24:00,526
Listen, uh,,,
364
00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:02,917
There's another dozen or so in
the town down the interstate,
365
00:24:03,946 --> 00:24:06,070
I gave them the
same as I gave you,
366
00:24:06,103 --> 00:24:07,763
Now, maybe you can
hook up with them,
367
00:24:09,257 --> 00:24:10,784
So there are others?
368
00:24:10,817 --> 00:24:12,643
Not many, a lot more dead,
369
00:24:16,693 --> 00:24:17,689
That
370
00:24:19,016 --> 00:24:21,805
is what your laws
are taking us to,
371
00:24:25,025 --> 00:24:26,452
The end of humanity,
372
00:24:32,262 --> 00:24:36,046
This is the real Armageddon,
Mr, Chief Justice,
373
00:24:36,079 --> 00:24:39,731
Your so-called new holocaust
or thermo nuclear war,
374
00:24:42,220 --> 00:24:44,810
That was only a prelude,
375
00:24:44,843 --> 00:24:49,225
Dr, Givens, I'm sure you
appreciate how difficult it is
376
00:24:49,258 --> 00:24:53,871
for us to understand the very notion of
your venturing back and forth through time,
377
00:24:54,569 --> 00:24:55,864
Yeah, of course,
378
00:24:57,690 --> 00:25:01,341
The very fact that the Dr,
Givens who went back in time
379
00:25:01,374 --> 00:25:04,129
to rescue you as a teenager,
380
00:25:04,162 --> 00:25:07,217
the Dr, Givens who was
the avenging angel,,,
381
00:25:07,250 --> 00:25:11,233
The very fact that
she changed history
382
00:25:11,266 --> 00:25:13,590
proves that history
can be altered,
383
00:25:15,582 --> 00:25:17,109
That's my whole point,
384
00:25:17,142 --> 00:25:18,835
We can intervene,
385
00:25:18,868 --> 00:25:20,429
there's still time,
386
00:25:20,462 --> 00:25:24,578
But how do we know that this plague is
the result of the course we're on now,
387
00:25:24,611 --> 00:25:26,702
Keeping a ban on technology,
388
00:25:26,735 --> 00:25:30,354
or whether, it's a direct result of
changing our course in this appeal,
389
00:25:31,749 --> 00:25:34,271
I can only say,
Justice Harbison,
390
00:25:34,304 --> 00:25:38,155
that the world I saw was
devoid of technology,,,
391
00:25:38,188 --> 00:25:43,333
Was devoid of the medical
help that would've prevented
392
00:25:43,366 --> 00:25:46,753
this virus from sweeping
over the planet,
393
00:25:46,786 --> 00:25:50,271
Are you familiar with the medical
research of Dr, Ledbetter?
394
00:25:50,304 --> 00:25:52,529
Yes, he pioneered work
in Nanotechnology,
395
00:25:52,562 --> 00:25:54,288
That's exactly right,
396
00:25:54,322 --> 00:25:58,272
Time machine,
invisible to the naked eye,
397
00:25:58,305 --> 00:26:02,321
Touted as the panacea in the
scientific journals of the day,
398
00:26:02,355 --> 00:26:04,346
It seemed nothing
short of a miracle,
399
00:26:05,873 --> 00:26:07,765
Until something
went horribly wrong,
400
00:26:14,969 --> 00:26:16,762
What are you doing here?
It's Saturday,
401
00:26:16,795 --> 00:26:18,819
Your nanobots don't stop
working on weekends,
402
00:26:22,803 --> 00:26:24,660
That's incredible,
403
00:26:25,127 --> 00:26:26,621
What the hell are they?
404
00:26:27,484 --> 00:26:30,737
They look a bit like gills,
405
00:26:30,770 --> 00:26:32,638
The nanobots must have
interpreted you inability
406
00:26:32,662 --> 00:26:34,787
to breathe underwater as
a physical deficiency,
407
00:26:39,799 --> 00:26:41,592
-Who is it?
-DR, LEDBETTER: It's me, let me in,
408
00:26:46,439 --> 00:26:47,966
I've been working
on it all night,
409
00:26:47,999 --> 00:26:49,459
I know how to deactivate them,
410
00:26:49,492 --> 00:26:52,182
We have to use electricity
and short them out,
411
00:26:52,215 --> 00:26:54,206
--What is it?
Have there been more changes?
412
00:26:54,638 --> 00:26:56,496
I'm not sure,
413
00:26:56,529 --> 00:26:58,365
I have this intense pain
in the back of my head,
414
00:26:58,389 --> 00:27:00,647
-It's kept me up all
night, -Let me look,
415
00:27:03,700 --> 00:27:05,559
See anything?
416
00:27:05,592 --> 00:27:09,642
Just two small bumps,
417
00:27:09,675 --> 00:27:13,128
-Ah!
Damn it, that hurts, -Sorry,
418
00:27:13,161 --> 00:27:16,049
They appear to be filled
with some kind of fluid,
419
00:27:18,273 --> 00:27:19,435
-What is it? -They're moving,
420
00:27:24,381 --> 00:27:25,576
What is it?
421
00:27:26,173 --> 00:27:27,170
Oh, my God!
422
00:27:31,253 --> 00:27:32,580
They're,,,eyes,
423
00:27:35,136 --> 00:27:37,659
Problem, Dr, Givens,
424
00:27:37,692 --> 00:27:42,440
is that the example Justice Parkhurst
has raised, this is just one of many,
425
00:27:42,473 --> 00:27:47,319
You're aware, I'm sure,
of the researcher, Dr, Simon Kress,,,
426
00:27:47,352 --> 00:27:50,473
Who carried a sample of Martian
soil back to his home laboratory
427
00:27:50,506 --> 00:27:52,598
and, unwittingly,
428
00:27:52,631 --> 00:27:55,717
let loose a biologic menace
429
00:27:55,750 --> 00:27:58,878
that took the better part
of a decade to eradicate,
430
00:28:46,308 --> 00:28:48,632
Dr,
Kress' decent into hell
431
00:28:48,664 --> 00:28:53,909
is symptomatic of what happened over
and over again in this century,,,
432
00:28:53,942 --> 00:28:57,462
Scientists attempting
to play God,
433
00:28:57,495 --> 00:28:59,752
There is a difference
between playing God
434
00:29:01,411 --> 00:29:02,407
and aspiring
435
00:29:04,498 --> 00:29:07,255
to fulfill the
potential for greatness
436
00:29:08,151 --> 00:29:09,844
that God gave us,
437
00:29:09,876 --> 00:29:12,001
Is that a veiled
application for sainthood?
438
00:29:12,034 --> 00:29:14,058
I am no saint,
439
00:29:16,017 --> 00:29:17,942
Nor are any of the pioneers
that you mentioned,
440
00:29:19,005 --> 00:29:20,002
Mistakes were made,
441
00:29:21,694 --> 00:29:24,814
The very nature of science,
is trial and error,
442
00:29:24,848 --> 00:29:27,337
This,,,
This is how people learn,
443
00:29:27,370 --> 00:29:28,831
This is how people grow,
444
00:29:28,864 --> 00:29:32,283
Unless, of course,
it's the last mistake we make,
445
00:29:32,317 --> 00:29:35,768
What you may or may not
know, Dr, Givens,
446
00:29:35,802 --> 00:29:39,487
is that society radically
changed after the New Holocaust,
447
00:29:39,521 --> 00:29:41,644
Oh, you mean,
besides the fact that
448
00:29:41,678 --> 00:29:46,857
technology was used as a scapegoat
for all of society's ills?
449
00:29:46,890 --> 00:29:50,641
That was a big part of it, yes,
but there were other profound changes,
450
00:29:51,271 --> 00:29:53,196
A kind of
451
00:29:53,230 --> 00:29:56,582
involuntary anesthetizing
of the human spirit,
452
00:29:58,673 --> 00:30:01,894
Our esteemed
political leaders
453
00:30:01,928 --> 00:30:05,943
were convinced that not only did we
have to dismantle the electronic age,
454
00:30:05,977 --> 00:30:08,467
but we had to change our
inner landscape as well,
455
00:30:10,060 --> 00:30:13,113
There was a strong social
and political movement
456
00:30:13,148 --> 00:30:16,732
to try to put the
past behind us,
457
00:30:16,766 --> 00:30:21,613
even before the fallout had
claimed its last victim,
458
00:30:21,646 --> 00:30:24,634
The anti-grieving
laws were instituted,
459
00:30:26,459 --> 00:30:30,641
It actually became a crime to
mourn the death of a loved one,
460
00:30:32,567 --> 00:30:35,221
The anti-grieving laws
have since been rescinded,
461
00:30:35,256 --> 00:30:38,376
but I think it's
instructive to see that
462
00:30:38,408 --> 00:30:41,563
it's not only
scientists who went awry
463
00:30:41,596 --> 00:30:44,418
when they undertook to
redesign our species,
464
00:30:45,812 --> 00:30:48,634
Governments, politicians,
465
00:30:49,530 --> 00:30:51,821
demonstrated the same hubris
466
00:30:51,852 --> 00:30:55,538
when they tried to
fundamentally alter who we are,
467
00:30:56,433 --> 00:30:58,990
When they tried to,,,
468
00:31:00,153 --> 00:31:02,443
Reconstruct the human soul,
469
00:31:03,273 --> 00:31:07,058
to shackle the human heart,
470
00:31:07,090 --> 00:31:11,704
You talk about the arrogance of
science, Justice Harbison,
471
00:31:11,738 --> 00:31:16,550
what about the arrogance of those who
would try to remake us in their image?
472
00:31:21,862 --> 00:31:25,049
Before we pass judgment
on the petitioner,
473
00:31:25,083 --> 00:31:28,469
I ask that we reconsider
where the greatest evil lies,
474
00:31:29,730 --> 00:31:31,522
In making a God of technology
475
00:31:33,448 --> 00:31:35,937
or in making Gods of ourselves?
476
00:31:42,609 --> 00:31:46,958
Those of us who survived
the war of 2059 will never forget it,
477
00:31:46,991 --> 00:31:48,418
The loss of my own two sons,
478
00:31:50,410 --> 00:31:52,137
My daughter lying
ill for six months,
479
00:31:53,929 --> 00:31:57,415
Before her insides rotted
out from radiation poisoning,
480
00:31:57,448 --> 00:31:59,108
Couldn't even give
them a proper burial,
481
00:32:00,369 --> 00:32:03,025
Had to be sealed in
lead and concrete
482
00:32:04,386 --> 00:32:07,738
along with the other
detritus of war,
483
00:32:09,498 --> 00:32:10,694
The fact is,
484
00:32:13,549 --> 00:32:14,877
those laws were created
485
00:32:16,271 --> 00:32:18,593
so that we could go on
486
00:32:18,627 --> 00:32:21,282
with the business of
living and survive,
487
00:32:21,316 --> 00:32:25,698
What made you so certain that climbing
back into the darkness was the answer?
488
00:32:25,731 --> 00:32:28,387
Darkness?
Dr, Givens, is that how you see it?
489
00:32:30,046 --> 00:32:31,739
I'm inclined to see the light,
490
00:32:31,773 --> 00:32:34,859
the light in the eyes of
children who climb trees
491
00:32:35,557 --> 00:32:36,852
and count the stars
492
00:32:38,012 --> 00:32:42,063
unobscured by clouds
and toxic pollution,
493
00:32:42,095 --> 00:32:45,815
Have we lost something,
by giving up our machines, Doctor?
494
00:32:46,810 --> 00:32:47,806
No doubt, we have,
495
00:32:48,669 --> 00:32:51,258
But look what we've gained,
496
00:32:51,292 --> 00:32:55,275
Families sit around
the hearth at night,
497
00:32:55,308 --> 00:32:59,125
They don't stare blankly at
jittering electronic images,
498
00:32:59,159 --> 00:33:00,917
They talk to one another,
499
00:33:02,578 --> 00:33:04,602
Human interaction is
no longer obsolete,
500
00:33:06,130 --> 00:33:09,417
Life is less complicated,
We've gone back to
501
00:33:09,450 --> 00:33:12,438
simpler pleasures,
simpler times,
502
00:33:12,470 --> 00:33:15,955
Justice Harbison is
right about one thing,
503
00:33:19,176 --> 00:33:22,826
None of us will ever forget
what happened in June of '59,
504
00:33:25,549 --> 00:33:27,407
I lost a daughter too
505
00:33:29,467 --> 00:33:31,889
along with my only grandchildren,
The youngest was four,
506
00:33:33,184 --> 00:33:35,573
Smart as they make them,
507
00:33:35,608 --> 00:33:36,968
He dreamed of
being an astronaut,
508
00:33:40,454 --> 00:33:42,843
Of course,
even if he had survived,
509
00:33:45,731 --> 00:33:48,420
that wouldn't have been possible,
There were no more astronauts,
510
00:33:50,213 --> 00:33:52,040
No more space program,
511
00:33:53,698 --> 00:33:55,259
No more computers,
512
00:33:56,089 --> 00:33:57,750
No more scientists,
513
00:33:59,841 --> 00:34:01,334
No more dreamers, like you,
514
00:34:03,159 --> 00:34:05,848
You play with fire,
you might get burnt,
515
00:34:07,011 --> 00:34:08,671
You eliminate fire
516
00:34:09,965 --> 00:34:13,352
and you might never
feel its warmth,
517
00:34:13,385 --> 00:34:16,603
And you might never revel
in its illumination,
518
00:34:19,625 --> 00:34:22,080
If you would take your
seat, Dr, Givens,
519
00:34:22,114 --> 00:34:25,168
opposing counsels will now
have a chance to sum up,
520
00:34:26,297 --> 00:34:29,185
Chief Justice,
associate justices,
521
00:34:29,219 --> 00:34:31,907
history teaches
522
00:34:31,940 --> 00:34:35,792
that no invention is
immune to subversion,
523
00:34:36,620 --> 00:34:38,314
The missiles
524
00:34:38,348 --> 00:34:44,786
that rocketed man to Mars also sent
ballistic warheads against the cities,
525
00:34:44,821 --> 00:34:49,667
The Internet that promised us
dissemination of information
526
00:34:49,701 --> 00:34:51,493
was ultimately used
527
00:34:51,526 --> 00:34:55,610
to strip governments of their secrets
and make them vulnerable to attack,
528
00:34:57,302 --> 00:34:59,560
Now, my, uh,
distinguished colleague
529
00:34:59,593 --> 00:35:03,145
invokes the spirit of invention
530
00:35:03,178 --> 00:35:08,687
as if it were some Holy Grail,
some self-appointed deity,
531
00:35:08,721 --> 00:35:11,983
that demands that we
prostrate ourselves before it,
532
00:35:12,017 --> 00:35:15,021
but aren't we wiser than that?
533
00:35:15,055 --> 00:35:18,142
Forgive me for
sounding old-fashioned,
534
00:35:18,175 --> 00:35:21,428
but what about rearing our
children in the peaceful world?
535
00:35:21,460 --> 00:35:23,685
What about a quiet prayer
536
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,137
at the altar of common sense?
537
00:35:27,170 --> 00:35:31,618
I ponder these highly touted
advances of the century,
538
00:35:32,847 --> 00:35:36,399
The genome was deciphered and
539
00:35:36,432 --> 00:35:38,589
the secrets of the human
brain were revealed,
540
00:35:38,623 --> 00:35:43,039
but what became of
those discoveries?
541
00:35:43,071 --> 00:35:47,122
And I refer you to the cruel
realities of entrepreneurs
542
00:35:48,781 --> 00:35:51,337
who robbed the elderly of their
knowledge and their skills
543
00:35:51,370 --> 00:35:53,129
and then sold them
544
00:35:53,163 --> 00:35:54,491
like so many dried goods,
545
00:35:58,208 --> 00:35:59,403
What's that for?
546
00:36:00,168 --> 00:36:01,363
Time to make you sleep,
547
00:36:02,025 --> 00:36:03,718
And to make you forget,
548
00:36:04,450 --> 00:36:05,446
Oh, my,,,
549
00:36:06,806 --> 00:36:08,466
Why would I want to,,,
550
00:36:13,512 --> 00:36:14,509
Forget,
551
00:36:22,401 --> 00:36:27,181
The most vulnerable in our
society stripped of their humanity,
552
00:36:27,213 --> 00:36:30,865
their brains drained of a
lifetime of acquired gifts,
553
00:36:30,898 --> 00:36:35,180
downloaded and cataloged
and left like empty husks,
554
00:36:35,213 --> 00:36:38,135
warehoused and forgotten,
555
00:36:38,168 --> 00:36:40,458
Is this your idea of
a scientific miracle?
556
00:36:42,782 --> 00:36:46,267
If this court overturns
Dr, Givens' conviction,
557
00:36:48,425 --> 00:36:52,342
it will send a message
around the world,
558
00:36:52,376 --> 00:36:56,260
And the genie will
bellow and thunder,
559
00:36:56,292 --> 00:36:58,383
He'll thrash in his bottle
560
00:36:58,416 --> 00:37:01,737
and once more,
threaten to emerge,
561
00:37:01,769 --> 00:37:06,782
I'm certain, in fact,
that we will be driving the last nail
562
00:37:06,816 --> 00:37:10,068
into the coffin of God's
greatest experiment,
563
00:37:11,562 --> 00:37:14,450
It will ordain the
end of humankind,
564
00:37:16,641 --> 00:37:19,994
I, for one,
will not be party to that surrender,
565
00:37:21,421 --> 00:37:23,778
I will fight it
with my last breath,
566
00:37:25,738 --> 00:37:29,289
And I implore you to do no less,
567
00:37:38,891 --> 00:37:40,361
With
the court's permission,
568
00:37:40,385 --> 00:37:43,340
I'd like to give my remaining
minutes to the woman who will live
569
00:37:43,372 --> 00:37:45,696
or die by your decision,
570
00:37:53,065 --> 00:37:56,849
When my namesake invented
a temporal transporter,
571
00:37:56,884 --> 00:37:58,842
she used it to save lives,
572
00:38:01,863 --> 00:38:04,751
And when I followed
in her footsteps,
573
00:38:04,783 --> 00:38:09,464
I knew that, like her, that I would have
to dedicate this incredible invention
574
00:38:09,497 --> 00:38:12,718
to a humanitarian purpose,
575
00:38:12,750 --> 00:38:17,563
Maybe ultimately,
make the same sacrifice she did,
576
00:38:21,083 --> 00:38:23,240
I've been given
577
00:38:23,274 --> 00:38:26,660
a special knowledge because of
578
00:38:26,692 --> 00:38:31,307
the unique circumstances
of my journey,
579
00:38:35,026 --> 00:38:38,842
Not to act would
have been the same
580
00:38:38,875 --> 00:38:42,328
as turning my back on the
citizens of the future,
581
00:38:43,622 --> 00:38:48,834
Those countless children
who depend on me now,
582
00:38:54,544 --> 00:38:57,764
And I guess, they,
uh, depend on you now,
583
00:39:03,009 --> 00:39:04,170
Thank you,
584
00:39:07,092 --> 00:39:09,747
We'll take 15-minute recess,
then render our decision,
585
00:39:15,689 --> 00:39:16,685
You okay?
586
00:39:17,847 --> 00:39:18,923
I'm scared, Nicki,
587
00:39:20,602 --> 00:39:24,421
All that stuff about me not
caring, about what they'd do to me,
588
00:39:24,950 --> 00:39:26,146
it's a lie,
589
00:39:26,677 --> 00:39:28,304
Stupid lie,
590
00:39:28,337 --> 00:39:29,963
It's okay to be
afraid, Theresa,
591
00:39:31,258 --> 00:39:33,150
If they let the verdict stand,
592
00:39:33,947 --> 00:39:35,241
what will happen to all of this?
593
00:39:36,969 --> 00:39:38,562
I won't lie to you,
594
00:39:38,594 --> 00:39:39,590
They'll destroy it,
595
00:39:42,745 --> 00:39:44,239
All those years,
596
00:39:46,230 --> 00:39:47,923
All those minds,
597
00:39:49,549 --> 00:39:50,544
Mmm,,,
598
00:39:53,864 --> 00:39:55,757
We haven't lost yet,
599
00:39:55,791 --> 00:39:57,715
There's still
hope, -
600
00:40:02,164 --> 00:40:03,957
Yes, yes,,,
601
00:40:04,785 --> 00:40:06,777
Of course,
602
00:40:06,811 --> 00:40:08,802
Somebody will find an answer,
603
00:40:10,661 --> 00:40:12,088
There's still plenty of time,
604
00:40:13,118 --> 00:40:14,115
There's 30 years,
605
00:40:17,899 --> 00:40:21,416
They could build
another transporter,
606
00:40:21,449 --> 00:40:24,571
They could find a cure,
They know that the plague is coming,
607
00:40:26,595 --> 00:40:30,546
There's a way, they'll find a
way, There has to be,
608
00:40:30,579 --> 00:40:32,802
You will tell them, won't you?
That I wasn't crazy,,,
609
00:40:35,525 --> 00:40:37,119
Of course I will,
610
00:40:43,493 --> 00:40:45,250
Well,
I don't about the rest of you,
611
00:40:45,285 --> 00:40:47,309
but nothing I heard in
that chamber did anything
612
00:40:47,342 --> 00:40:49,699
but validate the
opinion I had going in,
613
00:40:49,732 --> 00:40:51,890
You know,
that's what I love about you, Oli,
614
00:40:51,923 --> 00:40:54,081
you're predictable
as a loaded dice,
615
00:40:54,114 --> 00:40:59,491
I'm just being true to my sense of
ethics, Madam Justice,
616
00:40:59,526 --> 00:41:04,571
And those ethics make it easy for
you to send a woman to her death,
617
00:41:04,605 --> 00:41:07,857
for doing her damndest
to save the human race,
618
00:41:07,891 --> 00:41:11,143
Oh, let's stop the
posturing, for God's sake,
619
00:41:11,178 --> 00:41:14,927
There's nobody here but four walls
and five cantankerous old fools,
620
00:41:14,962 --> 00:41:17,185
Nobody's
posturing, Gretchen,
621
00:41:17,218 --> 00:41:22,331
As Haden says, this decision will
reverberate from now till doom's day,
622
00:41:22,363 --> 00:41:24,523
Which,
if the appellant is right,
623
00:41:25,085 --> 00:41:27,012
is about 35 years, tops,
624
00:41:30,928 --> 00:41:33,351
This
court is now in session,
625
00:41:33,385 --> 00:41:37,568
Before I pull the members of the court,
I have a few words for the appellant,
626
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,024
Dr, Givens,
627
00:41:40,058 --> 00:41:44,007
I'm impressed with the way you've conducted
yourself in this proceeding, Doctor,
628
00:41:44,042 --> 00:41:50,049
I admire you intelligence,
your courage under fire,
629
00:41:50,081 --> 00:41:53,933
Before this court makes its
ruling, I wanted you to know that,
630
00:41:53,966 --> 00:41:56,422
Thank you, sir, Chief Justice,
631
00:41:56,456 --> 00:41:59,278
That being said,
I'll explain the procedure we'll follow
632
00:41:59,310 --> 00:42:01,933
once every justice
has been pulled,
633
00:42:02,995 --> 00:42:05,087
Excuse me, Your Honor,
634
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,286
I think there's one more voice
that you really should hear from
635
00:42:07,310 --> 00:42:08,880
before you can make an
intelligent verdict,
636
00:42:08,904 --> 00:42:11,692
I'm afraid that's
entirely out of order,
637
00:42:11,726 --> 00:42:14,355
I'm sorry, sir, but I'm going to
have to ask you to leave the court,
638
00:42:14,381 --> 00:42:16,174
Oh, I'm afraid I can't do that,
639
00:42:16,208 --> 00:42:17,503
Who the hell are you?
640
00:42:17,535 --> 00:42:20,755
I am your conscience,
Justice Harbison,
641
00:42:20,789 --> 00:42:22,283
but you can call me Ezekiel,
642
00:42:26,863 --> 00:42:29,726
Bailiff, stand down,
643
00:42:30,899 --> 00:42:32,391
It's a bomb,
644
00:42:32,424 --> 00:42:34,324
No, no, No,
Technically it's not a bomb,
645
00:42:34,358 --> 00:42:36,714
it's a cold fusion device,
646
00:42:36,747 --> 00:42:39,436
And I strongly advise you to listen
to what I have to say, otherwise,
647
00:42:39,469 --> 00:42:42,225
otherwise I may just
have to set it off,
648
00:42:42,258 --> 00:42:45,014
And then you can say
goodbye to this courtroom,
649
00:42:45,046 --> 00:42:46,905
this city and, uh, what,
650
00:42:46,939 --> 00:42:48,366
maybe half the eastern seaboard,
