Forgive me if I don't

Sorry,

I know they think I'm crazy,

You should see the way

You should get ready,

Be honest, what are my chances?

It's hard to say,

You remember, Cassandra?

She had the gift of prophesy,

More like a curse,

Apollo gave her the ability

Didn't matter what she, ,,

Foresaw,

It fell on deaf ears,

I feel like, ,,

I'm being punished by the Gods,

Whether we maintain our ban

Along with a veritable arsenal

Let's see what you got, Shh,

Okay, you be a good girl now

I dreamed about you

I thought you

That's right,

She went on to create

and in accord with rule 32
for the submissions of exhibits,

I'd like to present that device

Parading the evidence

What you see before you,

Mr, Gannon,

please, a knife can be used

is a matter of some debate,

Go on, Mr, Gannon,

Thank you,

The petitioner's brief

to that venerable document,

which describes its

Our society has flourished

They have rescued us

Thank you, Mr, Gannon,

We will now hear

Mr, Gannon has just quoted

I'd like to quote from that

Article 1, section 8, clause 8,

which grants rights

"To promote the

Even in 1789,

the founder saw the promise

Is there any aspect

From agriculture

What about the advances

that not only dramatically

but improved the quality

Advances in technology that

We produce more goods,

They gave us more time to

To spend time with our families,

Our children were healthier,

It hardly seems necessary

But blessings they were,

Uh, uh, I hate to intrude

but there were some

you omitted,

You skipped right over

fusion technology,

I understand, Justice Harbison,

that science and technology

for what happened to

But talk about an abyss?

We have become so fearful,

that we are plunging headlong

And God only knows

If I may, I'd like

The truth is,

than anything I could argue

I've always been

I grew up wondering, ,,

Why is the sky blue?

Why do we dream?

What is artificial intelligence?

And because I had

I gravitated towards science,

The term of choice

in those days was "nerd",

I don't know what you

Maybe, (CLEARS THROAT)

When I was a teenager, I, ,,

I came very close to dying,

I was abducted by a psychopath,

He tried to rape me

The woman who stopped

was none other than me,

It was me grown up,

It was the woman who first

It was the woman

I would become,

And she did much more

She changed it forever,

I wound up falling in love

with the idea

of harnessing time streams,

Well, much like a poet

a musician falls in love

Science

was my expression,

A way to loose myself,

A way to find myself,

What exactly did you

THERESA: I didn't know,

That's just it, I didn't know,

Maybe you could see me

An explorer of sorts,

I'd venture into the future,

A few days at a time at first,

Then some months,

Eventually, I wound up here

and my heart broke,

How so?

At first I thought it was

This couldn't possibly

I thought

there are no cars,

no telephones,

no computers,

no CAT scans,

No sign of an electronic age

and precious few signs

than the light bulb,

When I returned back

I began to think

what would happen to

So you traveled deeper

Yes, I did,

Thirty more years,

2105,

Can you tell us

It was horrible,

A virus slipped

No part of this world

was left untouched,

And there were no

except small amounts of serum

that the renegade

And they weren't enough

You need to get us

-We need more supplies, ,,

We're running

We don't have

I can't help you, ma'am,

Listen, uh, ,,

There's another dozen or so

I gave them the same

Now, maybe you can hook

So there are others?

Not many, a lot more dead,

That

is what your laws are

The end of humanity,

This is the real Armageddon,

Your so-called new holocaust

That was only a prelude,

Dr, Givens, I'm sure you

for us to understand the very

THERESA: Yeah, of course,

The very fact

to rescue you as a teenager,

the Dr, Givens who was

The very fact that she

proves that history

That's my whole point,

We can intervene,

there's still time,

But how do we know that

Keeping a ban on technology,

or whether, it's

I can only say,

that the world I saw

Was devoid of the medical help

this virus from sweeping over

Yes, he pioneered work

That's exactly right,

Time machine,

Touted as the panacea

It seemed nothing short

Until something went

What are you doing here?

Your nanobots don't stop

That's incredible,

What the hell are they?

They look a bit like gills,

The nanobots must have

to breathe underwater

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

-Who is it?

I've been working on it

I know how to deactivate them,

We have to use electricity

-(GROANS)

I'm not sure,

I have this intense pain

-It's kept me up all night,

See anything?

Just two small bumps,

-Ah! Damn it, that hurts,

They appear to be filled with

What is it?

Oh, my God!

They're, ,,eyes,

JUSTICE HARBISON:

is that the example

You're aware, I'm sure,

Who carried a sample

and, unwittingly,

let loose a biologic menace

that took the better part

JUSTICE HARBISON:

is symptomatic of what

Scientists attempting

There is a difference

and aspiring

to fulfill the potential

that God gave us,

Is that a veiled application

(CHUCKLES)

Nor are any of the pioneers

Mistakes were made,

The very nature of science,

This, ,, This is how

This is how people grow,

Unless, of course,

What you may or may not know,

is that society radically

Oh, you mean,

technology was used

That was a big part of it,

A kind of

involuntary anesthetizing

(SIGHS) Our esteemed

were convinced that not only

but we had to change

There was a strong social

to try to put the past

even before the fallout

The anti-grieving laws

It actually became a crime

The anti-grieving laws

but I think it's instructive

it's not only scientists

when they undertook

Governments, politicians,

demonstrated the same hubris

when they tried to

When they tried to, ,,

Reconstruct the human soul,

to shackle the human heart,

You talk about

what about the arrogance

Before we pass judgment

I ask that we reconsider

In making a God of technology

or in making Gods of ourselves?

JUSTICE HARBISON:

The loss of my own two sons,

My daughter lying ill

Before her insides rotted out

Couldn't even give them

Had to be sealed

along with the other

The fact is,

those laws were created

so that we could go on

with the business of living

What made you so certain

Darkness? Dr, Givens,

I'm inclined to see the light,

the light in the eyes

and count the stars

unobscured by clouds

Have we lost something,

No doubt, we have,

But look what we've gained,

Families sit around

They don't stare blankly

They talk to one another,

Human interaction is

Life is less complicated,

simpler pleasures,

Justice Harbison is right

None of us will ever forget

I lost a daughter too

along with my

Smart as they make them,

He dreamed of being

Of course, even if

that wouldn't have

No more space program,

No more computers,

No more scientists,

No more dreamers, like you,

You play with fire,

You eliminate fire

And you might never revel

If you would take your seat,

that no invention is

invokes the spirit of invention

as if it were some Holy Grail,

that demands that we

but aren't we wiser than that?

Forgive me for sounding

but what about

What about a quiet prayer

at the altar of common sense?

I ponder these

The genome was deciphered and

the secrets of the human brain

but what became

And I refer you to

who robbed the elderly

and then sold them

like so many dried goods,

What's that for?

WOMAN: Time to make you sleep,

And to make you forget,

Oh, my, ,,

Why would I want to, ,,

Forget,

WALLACE:

We'll take 15-minute recess,

NICOLE: You okay?

THERESA: I'm scared, Nicki,

All that stuff about

it's a lie,

Stupid lie,

NICOLE: It's okay

If they let the verdict stand,

what will happen to all of this?

I won't lie to you,

They'll destroy it,

All those years,

All those minds,

Mmm, ,,

We haven't lost yet,

-There's still hope,

Of course,

Somebody will find an answer,

There's still plenty of time,

There's 30 years,

They could build

They could find a cure,

There's a way, they'll find

You will tell them, won't you?

Of course I will,

Well, I don't

but nothing I heard in

but validate the opinion

You know, that's what I love

you're predictable

I'm just being true to

And those ethics make it easy

for doing her damndest

Oh, let's stop the posturing,
