Mary: I don't understand. My execution's set. Why are you here? Aren't you gonna dose? My God. What... What'll you do?

Preston: I don't know.

Preston: 50 sweepers, maybe more.

Jurgen: What about an audience? Can you arrange to meet with him?

Preston: Father's never given a single audience since the upheaval. The danger of assassination is too great.

Jurgen: They trained you your whole life to fight these kind of odds.

Preston: Even if I could... even if I could make it through, what guarantee is there it would accomplish anything, that anything would be different?

Jurgen: We have a network that's larger than you could ever imagine. Instant word comes that Father is dead, that the Council is leaderless. Bombs that have already been planted will be set off at Prozium clinics and factories around Libria. If we can succeed in disrupting the supply for even one day... one day... our cause will be won by human nature itself.

Preston: What about war, the everyday cruelties that are all gone now?

Jurgen: Replaced by the touch of Grammaton. Will you do it?

Preston: Yes. Jurgen: Can you? Preston: I don’t know.

Jurgen: Don’t… Seeing her one last time will only make it harder to do what you have to do.
