CONTROL VOICE:

Just got word from the clerk,

-Cert?

It means the Supreme Court's

I assume everyone's up to

Ah, tell me something, Haden,

do you really believe that

As we sit here today,

the future of the

hangs in the balance,

What you see before you,

are nothing less than

and most certainly final,

THERESA:

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 computers,

No sign of an electronic age,

We haven't lost yet,

Of course,

Excuse me, Your Honor,

I think there's one more voice

before you can make

-Who the hell are you?

Justice Harbison,

It's a bomb,

Technically it's not a bomb,

it's a cold fusion device,

And I strongly advise

otherwise, otherwise

And then you can say goodbye

this city and, uh, what,

CONTROL VOICE:

Do not attempt

We are now controlling

We control the horizontal

We can deluge you

or expand one single image

and beyond,

We can shape your vision

to anything our imagination

For the next hour,

we will control

You are about to experience

which reaches from

to The Outer Limits,

Please stand by,

CONTROL VOICE:

once technology makes

when one man holds our fate

Now, I'm sure that

will spread the word

there's a second bomb

It's on a timer,

and there's only one person

Yours truly,

All I have to do is send

and we render it impotent,

About as impotent as I'm sure

If anyone tries to intervene,

that's it, game over,

Now, get out!

Everybody out, now!

Bailiffs, leave the court,

(CLAMORING)

What is it you want?

You allow interested parties

either for or

Friends-of-the-court statements,

-What's the term?

Ah, that's it!

I most humbly submit

I mean, I hope that doesn't

You're threatening us with

and you want to know if

The court reporter

Please instruct her to

Do as he says, Marie,

Thank you very much,

How do we know this thing

Ah, a skeptic, I like that,

Jurisprudence, 1A,

Never accept a fact without

Well, if any of you

you may remember the young man

His name was Seth Todtman,

Troubled, yes, but brilliant,

Now, Seth, (SCOFFS)

Seth had the same problem,

He had a classroom full

with a fusion device

The problem was that

At least not at first,

Nobody wanted to listen to me,

but now

you're going to, (GUN FIRING)

(SCREAMING)

Get down!

Settle down!

Every way in and out

and every trash can is wired

which I have just armed,

You won't get away

Really?

Define cold fusion,

-What?

Cold fusion is, um,

is a release of

ordinary room temperatures

but, but such devices

-We have proof of that,

I made this one all by myself,

I did it on my kitchen table,

The people who said

were wrong,

and today,

I get to prove that,

Look out the window!

Now, unlike that young man,

No, make that, faith in your

a credible threat and a bluff,

You said you wanted to go

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

and being rather enamored

and he deemed that it was good,

and it was good,

It was damn good,

And then he created

and feeling his oats,

Well, actually man and woman,

although, I don't believe

And then, he plunked

for they barely had enough

and a conversation with

pissing God off,

You see, they violated

Don't, I say don't, eat from

But, Adam and Eve,

and they paid dearly for it,

As a matter of fact,

paradise was off-limits

It's been off-limits

What is my point?

My point is, it wasn't

and it wasn't

and it wasn't

that draws us to things that

The problem was knowledge!

The problem was that

into the same contradiction

that made protoplasmic stew

back in June of 2059,

The problem was

You're a Luddite,

I am also living proof

All the best

can be erased

I'm dealing with

Aren't you forgetting

There was a definite roar

after the new holocaust,

A million man chorus

and that's how we wound up here,

Those 200 years of progress

and place on the garbage heap,

So, I would ask you,

why do you feel

and beat a drum that

Excellent question,

and I think I have

You see,

I've got the sense that

since Hotel Eden,

So, all of this is to

(SCOFFS)

I am not important,

who is important,

is that we don't tick

as smart as he is,

as good as he is,

with his rather iffy creation,

You were wrong

Ah, Dr, Givens,

I was waiting

You said this wasn't about me,

I said that

How about the truth then?

-Is that important?

The truth is about

Then tell them

how you got here,

and maybe you should tell

A school boy crush

A sentiment alas unrequited,

I believe your last words

Well, I took

and now I'm back,

THERESA:

I think I may be able

I'm glad somebody can,

"Ezekiel" wasn't

He took it from the prophet,

who implored

to return to their

Daniel Faraday is his real name,

When I started developing

I enlisted a number

It was a little like

Hmm,

An apt analogy

Everybody's responsibilities

No one knew how the parts

Daniel, Ezekiel,

was a bio-physicist

highly-classified

I believe there's a shorter

I believe the word, "whore"

And so the two

No, I think that would be

We did share information, yes,

but I made a critical

the government

and that's when

Shall I tell them

Oh, no, by all means, go ahead,

I always say,

That's when Daniel

I had no idea what was going on,

And his behavior became erratic,

He would go on these rants,

against science,

Uh, Dr, Givens,

You say that that man

used your machine

but was this with or without

There was

Daniel and I had

First sign that he was surfaced

was when there was

at the government

-The wormhole's expanding!

MAN: Abort! Abort!

The override isn't working,

(PULSATING)

-Power emissions are spiking!

Shut it down!

(ALL SHOUTING)

A man called Ezekiel

but I, I knew who

Ezekiel was making

and damned if he still isn't!

And then there was a break-in

most of the key documents

They belong to me as much

I knew there was only

-before he developed

"Just a matter of time,"

He took a number

with little or no regard

Ladies and gentlemen,

Pot meet kettle,

You, uh, don't see

Oh, I see irony everywhere,

It's like X-ray vision,

JUSTICE HADEN:

a revolutionary railing

and you were employing

To what end am I using

That is what you have

Mr, Chief Justice,

Sometimes it is necessary to

to defeat him,

You, uh, see technology

-Is that a fair statement?

Not only is it fair, I'd say

Look at these things,

Polygraphic generator,

Re-animation lasers,

Artificial intelligence

Uh, a little bowing

If you believe machines

you place your faith

Only when he

of science and government,

Only when he

If that's the case,

why do you feel the need to

Isn't the highest

a place where human judgment

That presumes that you

What evidence

(LAUGHS)

That's funny, Chief Justice,

I'm going to put

-You want to interrogate me?

Oh, interrogate's

No, I just want to question you,

JUSTICE HARBISON:

He's already got his finger

don't give him anymore power,

And here I thought you were

I stand before you as only a

A point of view

I don't believe

to undermine the legitimate

Boilerplate!

Isn't that what you call it?

When you have to plug

You want to question me?

I have no problem with that,

that you give up

Oh, now we're

Well, I hope you will

do I look like a gosh darn

We're just spinning

-I put a proposal

Disarm that device,

As a sign of goodwill,

Ah, to tell you the truth,

it was getting a little

But I will warn you,

I hold the transmitter

within a millisecond

or we can just let it

till it goes off of

Now, it's your turn

All I ask is that you

Now, then, what did you

I was in the military,

Three-star general

Then I can assume

Well, it was of

Few skirmishes

The submarine was sunk

So, you weren't consulted

I was in communication

Ah, such humility, Haden,

The scope of it

What was your recommendation?

That we not give in

Hmm, tough it out, huh?

Give us good as you get,

and let God sort it out?

(CHUCKLES) That's

Sir, Mr, Chief Justice,

you were safely ensconced

while four-fifth

You're hardly the one

Well, I learned from the best,

Why don't you tell him that

and I don't recall you telling

Well, that was you job,

GAURD: Hold steady!

(PANTING)

-MAN: Miriam! Miriam!

MIRIAM:

No, Mama!

(GRUNTS)

(GUN FIRING)

(YELLING)

THERESA:

Those were your exact words,

Well, I'm making

History will number

Excuse me, Mr, Chief Justice,

We were talking

Now, in the aftermath,

after all the bloodshed, when

I was appointed with

Huh, would that be

the elimination of all weapons

That's correct,

And when the mandate

to include the consideration

where did you come down

I was in agreement that

EZEKIEL: And when the

and when the moratorium

you were relieved,

-I was in support,

And that support was unwavering?

Shall I repeat the question?

I'm sitting in judgment

I think you know that,

I think it's inappropriate

All right,

Are you familiar with research

at the early part

They were two doctors who

-And repair them,

Not just to revive dead tissue,

but to revive dead people,

Zombie time, isn't that right?

It proved to be

Oh, that is quite

because it did have

but not the quality

(ENERGY PULSATING)

Autolysis reversed,

(POWERING UP)

-Reflex!

(BEEPING)

Hello, Mr, Reynolds,

EZEKIEL: You lost your wife,

I don't see

Oh, it's relevant,

because you went to

and tried to illegally

She was my life,

Nothing I'd ever achieved

meant anything

I was inconsolable,

A friend told me about

They'd actually achieved

And what else could you do?

I would have given

They weren't successful,

She had a few moments

She looked terrified,

Bewildered,

I'll never forget that look,

Never forgive yourself,

or never forgive science?

There's always been

One set of laws

PARKHURST: Do you

that any ruling made

let alone, nuclear annihilation,

could have any validity?

EZEKIEL: You're making

Your assuming that I've

And you're saying, you're not?

I'm not a fool!

I grant you my excesses,

my passions,

I did use my threat to, uh,

so that you will hear

but the final decisions

untainted by any

Now whatever you decide,

I can't be stupid

Isn't that exactly

No, Theresa, it is exactly

poisonous technology

(THERESA LAUGHING)

Excuse me, this is just

Aren't you the one

(SCOFFS)

Actually, no,

There is no bomb,

There never was a bomb,

Now surely,

you won't me begrudge me

No, the only bomb here is the

incendiary ignorance

this culture, ignorance

Are you telling us that

is not capable of triggering

Boom!

Hmm,

You almost seem

If what you're saying is true,

Well,

there are 20 bucks worth

but I'm sure that once

I'll be justly compensated,

Put the device down,

You realize the gravity

I absolutely do, Chief Justice,

I only wish that I could

What's that?

That's a time travel

She's right,

If you all foolish enough

machines reign over humans,

then I will humbly take my

-And go where?

So many destinations!

Ancient Greece,

JUSTICE HARBISON:

what's to prevent him from

creating the same havoc?

If he leaves the controller

What about the damage

He could affect

Unlike the charade

I'm not putting

I say get him

Not quite yet, Justice Woods,

I haven't completed

-What does that mean?

that I have special

knowledge of the future

of the world far ahead

I want you to be able

Why should we

Because to not believe me

Go ahead,

Thank you, your Honor,

If time travel has

is that the future is malleable,

It can be shaped by our choices,

It's really futures, plural,

The number of possibilities

We can change

and visit those

Not long ago,

into a future where technology

Deep into the 24th century,

about 100 years after

One civilization that we tried

declared war on us!

It not only defeated the human

(SNARLING)

(GRUNTING)

(BEEPING)

This is impossible,

Oh, God!

(EXPLODING)

In the end, it was

our sheer willfulness,

that defeated us,

It is our arrogance

(SCOFFS)

"Screw your courage

Well, I guess I agree

Screw your courage!

Theresa, I believe you're

It's set, I just need you

You can come with me,

If they let your

I know that,

Are you so confident that

No, not at all,

(PULSATING)

Last chance!

Goodbye, Theresa!

(SIGHS)

Is he really gone?

Yes, he's gone,

In the light of these

I'd like to hear from

Approach, please,

I assume that these

Is that your feeling

I don't know, The question is,

Well, of course

How can the

A mad man who

JUSTICE WOODS: Come on, look,

not whether we

ah, but whether we can

JUSTICE HARBISON:

Put the nation on hold?

while start over from scratch?

And then run the risk

I say, we take a deep breath

Mr, Gannon?

I, uh, I would like

JUSTICE HADEN: Ms, Whitley?

I'd like some time as well,

I'll allow a brief summary

-And the appellant?

She can speak,

To say that technology

But to forgo all

because we have suffered the

may be the greatest

Your Honors, I believe,

the time for retreat is over,

We have to stop burying

Society must act now,

Out of love rather than fear,

The same kind

that the Chief Justice

when he looked to science

in his beloved wife,

It's time to show

for the future

You all witnessed

to face judgment

She acted out of

and I hope that will guide

Thank you,

Mr, Gannon, your final thoughts?

The, uh, state, as respondent

has been accused in effect

As fate would have it today,

one with a very different

and while we all deplore

in which this man

ignore only at your peril,

what his appearance

A few computer chips,

a bit of electronic alchemy

our cities are held hostage

Now, are we really ready

won't happen again?

It is we who

if we continue to conduct

see the same results,

yet fail to heed its lessons,

Gentlemen, and lady Justices,

we have already found a refuge

that science and technology

We have found a haven,

Are we ready to give up

and tempt fate?

I pray that we are not,

Dr, Givens?

Before you reach your

Were human beings

the wonders

or to become one of them?

I believe that our innate

are greater than

and our innate evil,

Are the fears

of science reemerging as an

Maybe so, but I'm

naive enough to hope

that we can overcome whatever

that we can take control

and realize in the best

The real miracles are miracles

at the outer limits

are yet to come,

(SIGHS)

What else is there to say?

I think we've all staked

Just so we're clear,

can we consider the words

who threatened to blow

Every case we hear

and a lifetime

I don't think we can exclude

So, what does

We pulled the world

I'm not about

If I do nothing else

in my remaining days

but negate my

I will consider it

I will not send that woman

Much less, every child

You're all so full of surprises,

So surprise us,

Tell us you weren't moved

Oh, I was moved,

Sick to the stomach, moved,

but you cannot erase

with one emotionally

When I came on this bench,

I made one, solemn

and that was to always

What the hell good is some

in the face of everything

Now, you know better

(SIGHS)

You're gonna have to break

Yes, I know that,

So, what do you think,

JUSTICE HADEN: We have

and sought answers to

since we first emerged

Some of those inventions

Others were used to destroy,

A rose, no matter

How are we to know when

light our way

or to burn down our

The truth is, we can't know,

Machines themselves

It's up to society to invest

In the opinion of this Justice,

the danger of denying

of denying our thirst for

May we always seek the light,

The vote is three to two,

Congratulations, Dr, Givens,

(BANGS GAVEL)

(GIGGLING)

I wish that I could

but I left behind this

Consider it a consolation

I'm sure that

and your own

that her cause prevailed,

that victory will

Maybe now, the world

(BEEPING)

Oh, God, no,

What is it? What's happening?

Do something, use your machine!

I can't!

No time!

Ahhh!

(SCREAMING)

(SHOUTING)

(EXPLODING)

I would like

Beware of false gods,
