The Veil (2024) s01e06 Episode Script
The Cottage
1
ADILAH: You know, Yasmina
has never been inside
a place like this.
The man who owns it must be very rich.
IMOGEN: Michael? He
was my father's friend.
Was that all he was to you?
Fuck!
Okay, I know this apartment is bugged.
The target is gone.
EMIR: Here is the
detonator and the chip.
Everything was delivered as promised.
If I do this
I will still help you.
But you have to prove your loyalty.
She has to be killed.
Cesar has intercepted an email
from the Americans to Langley
about a high-level
emergency meeting today.
I would like to suggest
a course of action
We kidnap the target's daughter
and use her as leverage
to apprehend and interrogate the target
I can get you and Yasmina to England.
You have to travel separately
and we have to go, now.
I got a call from the
surveillance team around the girl.
They had them pinned in the apartment,
but they've heard no movement
or conversation inside for two hours.
It's evident that
they've been extracted.
(SMASHES)
IMOGEN: You realise I'm
the only person in the world
who knows where your child is.
You can't see her until you give me
the name and location of that ship.
ADILAH: The reason you are with
me is because we are the same.
Because if killing
thousands of people
helped bring your father back,
or your baby
then you might think of
doing exactly the same thing,
and that scares you to death.
I know what you were gonna do today,
and I know you did not want to kill me.
So I'm going to choose to believe
that you're not a monster
and that you are a human being,
and you're gonna do the right thing,
and you're gonna choose
whether or not to get in that car.
So, what's it gonna be?
(GLASS CLINKING)
(TYRES SCREECHING)
(DOOR UNLOCKS)
(DOOR OPENS)
I've always wanted to do this.
DRIVER: This is far as I can get ya.
You are gonna give me what
you promised me, ain't ya?
- (OPENS PANTS ZIPPER)
- Sorry. That was a lie.
Eh? (GROANS)
Do you know where you're going?
Of course. This is England. I'm home.
The driver will wake soon
and report this truck stolen.
We need to ditch it and
steal a car or hitch a ride.
The nearest town is Canterbury.
(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)
Fuck.
(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)
Quick, stand under here.
Okay. We need to split up.
Go to the Cathedral. We'll
meet in the cloisters.
What Cathedral?
Just ask someone for the Cathedral.

Hi, it's me.
MAX: Look at this.
We got Frick and Frack on it.
Lucky us!
Who the fuck do you think you are?
Dude, shut the fuck up.
All right? Just shut the fuck up.

- Eat a bag of French dicks.

Where are you?
I know you're here.
Look at that.
That'll do.
There's something about this place,
I feel like I can shed
the weight of the world.
Simply be with God.
Sorry.
Am I bothering you?
Not at all.
I feel exactly the same way.
MAX: They should be putting roadblocks
all over that fucking town.
They are. Give them a fucking minute.
Oh, really? Where?
Show me one fucking
Just look at the fucking screen, okay?
IMOGEN: So sad.
She's so traumatized by
everything she's been through.
It was the back of a truck, I just
Awful suggestions in the dark.
(SNIFFLES) I bought her a tea
but she can barely swallow.
They come to Dover like that.
Those awful people, they just dump them.
She was beaten by soldiers.
She has a small child.
They've separated them.
She's so traumatised
by everything she's been through.
She hardly speaks any English,
but she says she has someone in London.
If I had a car I would
You would what?
I would do God's work.
You know, I drove here,
all the way from Guildford
to ask the Lord a question.
Now that my husband is dead
(OFFICERS, WARDENS
SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
what is my purpose?
I believe you just gave me the answer.
Your husband would be really
proud of what we did today.
- God bless you.
- God bless you.
Mmm.
MAGRITTE: Okay.
Okay. I understand. Thank you.
Okay. The British have confirmed
there is no evidence of
the targets for three hours.
(SIGHS) We have no idea
where the hell they are.
They are reopening the
bus and train stations.
I can't just sit here.
We've got 48 hours to
get the name of that ship.
I'm getting on the next flight
to London. Your city sucks.
Your intelligence services
are 20 years out of date.
I like your food.
(IN FRENCH)
MAGRITTE: Hmm.
punch my number into this ATM,
alarm bells will ring all over the world
and they will come for us.
So why are you doing it?
I chose this ATM between
two rail stations.
They'll either think we're getting
a train north or a train west,
and they'll close those stations first.
They'll expend a lot of time and energy
on closing every provincial station,
on both lines, 736 of them.
We will be elsewhere.
- Where?
- As soon as I do it, we have to go fast
and stay together.
It's either a really good idea or
a really shit one.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
- (EXHALES)
- (KEYPAD BEEPS)

Hello.

(IN FRENCH)
(SIRENS WAILING)
Welcome to the Deep State.
We're going to Michael's.
Welcome home, Miss.
It's been too long.
Always a pleasure, Patrick.
IMOGEN: Michael was MI6 before
he went into even deeper cover.
He's the kind of spy that only a handful
of high-level operatives know about.
He conducts
non-attributable operations.
Off the books.
And he's rich.
English rich.
Land, respect,
a name that came to England
with the French invasion in 1066.
And now he will hide us.
And help us.
His special skill is inventing
new identities for people.
So I told him I had a friend
who needs to be reinvented.
So she can start a new life.
He said, "Come, come, come."
Like a game had begun.
(ADILAH EXHALES)
He used to quote Hamlet.
"God hath given you one face
and you make yourself another".
And another.
And another.

(GRUMBLES)
MALIK: I swear to God,
I cannot get free of you.
You're my fucking shadow.
How did you know about this place?
MI6 gave me full access
and permission to break in,
which I'm guessing you don't have.
No, I don't have permission.
I have a key.
Oh, look at you, did you find anything?
Where are you going?
I know she still has
possession of the target.
And I have another
idea where she might be.
You're going to follow me, aren't you?
No offence, but you and your girlfriend,
you can't handle this on your own.
Now, you just tell me where it is,
I'll get a full team there,
aerial, ground, whatever it takes
to apprehend the target unharmed.
When are you going to
stop underestimating her?
If Imogen is there,
she's very close to
making her plan work.
You do it American style, she will run.
I'm going there to back her up.
The only way you can come
is if that's your plan, too.
All right.
But you got to drive.
They drive on the wrong
side of the road here.
Messes me up.
(SIGHS IN EXASPERATION)
Hello, darling.
Hi.
Oh, goodness.
You look perfectly frightful.
I suppose you'd better come in.
(CLOSES DOOR)
You don't have to worry.
Aside from Patrick, I sent
all the other staff away.
I'm I'm gonna have a
a Scotch. Would you like one?
Yes, please.
MICHAEL: And you?
No.
Now, as I understand it,
you are the two most wanted human beings
in this whole hilarious world right now,
and it seems that not only the CIA
but all of the major
agencies are looking for you,
and the use of lethal force
has been deemed acceptable
in pursuit of you.
But you, on the other
hand, must be captured alive
or else untold damage befalls the West.
Crikey.
Hmm.
It appears that you in
your inimitable style,
you've made some sort
of arrangement with her
to get the information
that they so urgently need.
Dear heart,
you have not changed one iota.
I was taught by the best.
When will the passports be ready?
Hmm? Oh, erm
Patrick will have those
in a couple of hours.
I I trust that will be enough time.
Quite the nail-biter, though, isn't it?
We'd like to get settled in.
Hmm.
I'll come find you in a bit.
Yes, of course.
Or shall we
Shall we meet in the shed?
Of course.
Very good.
I need to know what's going
on and what's going to happen.
We'll get the passports and the
refugee status immigration papers
to get you to Canada.
We'll meet Noor and
Yasmina near the airport
and you will be on a flight
at 7:00 a.m. I swear to you.
Now, I need you to do something for me.
Go to the garage and get me
the keys to the Land Rover.
We need to be ready to get
out of here at moment's notice.
Imogen, what are you doing?
I just need to spend
some time alone with him.
(SOFTLY) "I was mad as he,
if sad and merry madness equal be."
Are you lost?
Just follow the path back to the house.
Yes. Thank you.
And you can take a shower.
I was a Royal Marine.
I remember what you people
smell like before we killed you.
Do you remember the smell of all
the innocent people you killed?
MAX: And I got the grid coordinates.
I'm gonna get us some real-time shots
of the house and grounds.
So tell me what you know
about this Oxford guy.
He was a lower-level diplomat.
Oxford educated, worked
for Imogen's father.
And after her father
died, he just disappeared.
Over the last 20 years,
he's played the "country gentleman,"
the "lord of the manor."
The kind of assholes
we got rid off in the revolution,
and the Brits still
seem to love so much.
Ah, he got a nice house, though.
Yeah.
That guy?
MALIK: Yeah.
She was in love with him.
Are you jealous, man?
(SCOFFS) No.
Are you sure about that?
I'm getting a real
jealous-type vibe here.
I'll tell you what,
you're definitely
better-looking than this guy.
I'll give you that.
Thanks.
(INHALES SHARPLY)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
(DOOR OPENS)
So sorry to keep you.
One or two things I had to
What is all this?
I've been watching over you.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
It's quite touching.
(CHUCKLES)
Where do you fit in?
Oh, you know
I have friends all over the world,
and lately, we've become
distrustful of politicians.
We like to keep an eye on things.
As the world seems to spiral downwards,
it's potentially a
moment of opportunity.
Opportunity for what?
You know, I've been
a little disappointed
in you, actually, darling.
It appears that you might have
let your emotions get the better of you.
Perhaps you both have.
Why do you think you
you really think that the
the leopard will change her spots?
You taught me that everyone
is capable of everything.
Hmm. Oh. Mmm.
I know you never do things
for the reasons people think.
(INHALES) Answer the question, Michael.
Opportunity for what?
Yeah, I you know
You know I don't involve myself
with men "full of sound and fury."
I am merely
an observer.
Can you have dinner with me?
Because I have missed you so.
It's been too long.
You're always with me though.
This voice
in my head.
(WHISPERING) And I
hope to keep it there.
I'll meet you in the dining room.
MICHAEL: Mmm.
I'll lay the table.
(DOOR CLOSES)
(INHALES)
(HEAVY BREATHING)
Is Yasmina all right?
(LONG SOFT BREATH)
Michael may not come through.
We need to find another way
to get the passports
and immigration papers.
I don't care what it
takes or what it costs.
We've done it before. Get it done.
(PHONE THUDS)
I need to ask you a question.
Did you ever see any signs
of Russian involvement in this plot?
Yes.
The man you saw in Paris.
Emir, he would often speak to someone
on his cell in Russian.
Anything else?
There's the truck that
got me out of Raqqa
was a Russian military truck. But why?
I've come to believe
that the Russian FSB
is behind this attack.
You and it are just their cover.
They are using you as a pawn
in their sick game of
retaliation against the US.
None of that means anything to me.
I only did this because he promised me
they'll protect me.
What did he promise you?
That if I designed this
plan, they'd allow me freedom.
That was the only choice I had
to have a life with Yasmina.
- So, why do you need me?
- Because when I found you,
I thought maybe you'd
help me find another way.
I am not so sure I trust you.
Still
Tell me why we're here.
(CLICKS TONGUE) I will not betray you.
I will get you on a flight
tomorrow morning with
your daughter. All right?
Tell me the name.
Tell me the name of the ship.
Like I said, only when I see her.
If you're lying to me, you'll regret it.
You will pay a terrible price,
and I will not be able to help you.
Is Emir Yasmina's father?
ADILAH: No.
I don't know who Yasmina's father is.
After the bomb in the hotel, I ran away
but they found me,
and when they bring you
back, they do things to you.
It could have been any of them.
Once you're a mother
as you know,
doesn't really matter who
the father is, does it?
No.
It doesn't.
I love her.
I love her and I miss
my daughter every day.
I'm sorry.
I need to have dinner alone with him.
I have an idea
and I need you to listen
to me very carefully.
(RUSTLING)
(DOOR CLOSING)
Your chauffeur was rude to Adilah today.
Oh.
I thought you would have
got rid of him by now.
I find his hatred focuses him.
Can be quite, erm, valuable.
And you trust him?
Oh, yes.
Yes, I do.
And I'm so very happy that
you still trust me, Violet.
IMOGEN: Mmm.
That name.
Silly girl.
"Silly girl".
(DEEP BREATH)
Such a silly, silly
silly girl.
Said in that voice
(SCOFFS)
It appears you want to
want to say something to me.
(SCOFFS)
And
Why exactly did you come back?
- (CUTLERY CLINKS)
- Hmm?
I want you to tell me
the truth about my father.
All my life, I've never
understood something.
But
why would they kill
a British diplomat
unless they knew
that he had done something
worth killing him for?
They were trying to get rid of him
or perhaps cover something up?
Turns out
I was right.
He was a traitor
Michael.
He worked for the Russians.
He was a double agent
and he betrayed his country,
and everyone he knew.
Which means that
throughout my whole childhood
the man I loved
was lying.
But I think you knew.
I know you, er,
you must be very proud of yourself.
Although, I'm not in
the least bit surprised
by the level of your skill.
Shut the fuck up.
Let me finish.
You were his protege.
He loved you,
and he moulded you,
as you moulded me.
But you became something
I could never become,
something beyond my father
Oh.
with no conscience.
(EXHALES) Violet,
"there is nothing either good or bad
but thinking makes it so."
Here's the thing, my darling
now, you know light,
it needs darkness
to exist.
Equilibrium of the world order
swings like a pendulum.
We're going from a golden age
of traditionalism and
relative social order
to one of darkness.
There comes a point when
you have to encourage
that darkness, to nurse
it along, if you will.
Only the complete collapse
of where we are now
will allow the reemergence
of another golden age.
As we know, where
where there is chaos,
there is also opportunity.
You know
Oh, I've waited so patiently
for you to come home,
and then perhaps
perhaps see things
with more clarity.
I am still
still in love with you, you know that.
Our girl would've been
now would've been ten.
Can you remember her face?
(BREATH TREMBLING)
(TREMBLES, WHISPERS) Yes.
Every
day.
Every day.
Come out with it.
I can take care of you again.
You know
Marcus and I were just so
so fucking proud of your
of your shining intelligence.
You know the world is
(EXHALES, CHUCKLES)
so much more complicated
than you can ever imagine.
One thing he never got
the chance to teach you.
You know and I thought I had.
You have
Is it still in my room?
Yes.
Yes, of course.
I'll meet you there.

IMOGEN: So sad.
She's so traumatized by
everything she's been through.
It was the back of a truck, I just
Awful suggestions in the dark.
(SNIFFLES) I bought her a tea
but she can barely swallow.
They come to Dover like that.
Those awful people, they just dump them.
She was beaten by soldiers.
She has a small child.
They've separated them.
She's so traumatised
by everything she's been through.
She hardly speaks any English,
but she says she has someone in London.
If I had a car I would
You would what?
I would do God's work.
You know, I drove here,
all the way from Guildford
to ask the Lord a question.
Now that my husband is dead
(OFFICERS, WARDENS
SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
what is my purpose?
I believe you just gave me the answer.
Your husband would be really
proud of what we did today.
- God bless you.
- God bless you.
Mmm.
MAGRITTE: Okay.
Okay. I understand. Thank you.
Okay. The British have confirmed
there is no evidence of
the targets for three hours.
(SIGHS) We have no idea
where the hell they are.
They are reopening the
bus and train stations.
I can't just sit here.
We've got 48 hours to
get the name of that ship.
I'm getting on the next flight
to London. Your city sucks.
Your intelligence services
are 20 years out of date.
I like your food.
(IN FRENCH)
MAGRITTE: Hmm.
punch my number into this ATM,
alarm bells will ring all over the world
and they will come for us.
So why are you doing it?
I chose this ATM between
two rail stations.
They'll either think we're getting
a train north or a train west,
and they'll close those stations first.
They'll expend a lot of time and energy
on closing every provincial station,
on both lines, 736 of them.
We will be elsewhere.
- Where?
- As soon as I do it, we have to go fast
and stay together.
It's either a really good idea or
a really shit one.
Are you ready?
Yeah.

Hello.

(SIRENS WAILING)
Welcome to the Deep State.
We're going to Michael's.
Welcome home, Miss.
It's been too long.
Always a pleasure, Patrick.
IMOGEN: Michael was MI6 before
he went into even deeper cover.
He's the kind of spy that only a handful
of high-level operatives know about.
He conducts
non-attributable operations.
Off the books.
And he's rich.
English rich.
Land, respect,
a name that came to England
with the French invasion in 1066.
And now he will hide us.
And help us.
His special skill is inventing
new identities for people.
So I told him I had a friend
who needs to be reinvented.
So she can start a new life.
He said, "Come, come, come."
Like a game had begun.
(ADILAH EXHALES)
He used to quote Hamlet.
"God hath given you one face
and you make yourself another".
And another.
And another.

(GRUMBLES)
MALIK: I swear to God,
I cannot get free of you.
You're my fucking shadow.
How did you know about this place?
MI6 gave me full access
and permission to break in,
which I'm guessing you don't have.
No, I don't have permission.
I have a key.
Oh, look at you, did you find anything?
Where are you going?
I know she still has
possession of the target.
And I have another
idea where she might be.
You're going to follow me, aren't you?
No offence, but you and your girlfriend,
you can't handle this on your own.
Now, you just tell me where it is,
I'll get a full team there,
aerial, ground, whatever it takes
to apprehend the target unharmed.
When are you going to
stop underestimating her?
If Imogen is there,
she's very close to
making her plan work.
You do it American style, she will run.
I'm going there to back her up.
The only way you can come
is if that's your plan, too.
All right.
But you got to drive.
They drive on the wrong
side of the road here.
Messes me up.
(SIGHS IN EXASPERATION)
Hello, darling.
Hi.
Oh, goodness.
You look perfectly frightful.
I suppose you'd better come in.
(CLOSES DOOR)
You don't have to worry.
Aside from Patrick, I sent
all the other staff away.
I'm I'm gonna have a
a Scotch. Would you like one?
Yes, please.
MICHAEL: And you?
No.
Now, as I understand it,
you are the two most wanted human beings
in this whole hilarious world right now,
and it seems that not only the CIA
but all of the major
agencies are looking for you,
and the use of lethal force
has been deemed acceptable
in pursuit of you.
But you, on the other
hand, must be captured alive
or else untold damage befalls the West.
Crikey.
Hmm.
It appears that you in
your inimitable style,
you've made some sort
of arrangement with her
to get the information
that they so urgently need.
Dear heart,
you have not changed one iota.
I was taught by the best.
When will the passports be ready?
Hmm? Oh, erm
Patrick will have those
in a couple of hours.
I I trust that will be enough time.
Quite the nail-biter, though, isn't it?
We'd like to get settled in.
Hmm.
I'll come find you in a bit.
Yes, of course.
Or shall we
Shall we meet in the shed?
Of course.
Very good.
I need to know what's going
on and what's going to happen.
We'll get the passports and the
refugee status immigration papers
to get you to Canada.
We'll meet Noor and
Yasmina near the airport
and you will be on a flight
at 7:00 a.m. I swear to you.
Now, I need you to do something for me.
Go to the garage and get me
the keys to the Land Rover.
We need to be ready to get
out of here at moment's notice.
Imogen, what are you doing?
I just need to spend
some time alone with him.
(SOFTLY) "I was mad as he,
if sad and merry madness equal be."
Are you lost?
Just follow the path back to the house.
Yes. Thank you.
And you can take a shower.
I was a Royal Marine.
I remember what you people
smell like before we killed you.
Do you remember the smell of all
the innocent people you killed?
MAX: And I got the grid coordinates.
I'm gonna get us some real-time shots
of the house and grounds.
So tell me what you know
about this Oxford guy.
He was a lower-level diplomat.
Oxford educated, worked
for Imogen's father.
And after her father
died, he just disappeared.
Over the last 20 years,
he's played the "country gentleman,"
the "lord of the manor."
The kind of assholes
we got rid off in the revolution,
and the Brits still
seem to love so much.
Ah, he got a nice house, though.
Yeah.
That guy?
MALIK: Yeah.
She was in love with him.
Are you jealous, man?
(SCOFFS) No.
Are you sure about that?
I'm getting a real
jealous-type vibe here.
I'll tell you what,
you're definitely
better-looking than this guy.
I'll give you that.
Thanks.
(INHALES SHARPLY)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
(DOOR OPENS)
So sorry to keep you.
One or two things I had to
What is all this?
I've been watching over you.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
It's quite touching.
(CHUCKLES)
Where do you fit in?
Oh, you know
I have friends all over the world,
and lately, we've become
distrustful of politicians.
We like to keep an eye on things.
As the world seems to spiral downwards,
it's potentially a
moment of opportunity.
Opportunity for what?
You know, I've been
a little disappointed
in you, actually, darling.
It appears that you might have
let your emotions get the better of you.
Perhaps you both have.
Why do you think you
you really think that the
the leopard will change her spots?
You taught me that everyone
is capable of everything.
Hmm. Oh. Mmm.
I know you never do things
for the reasons people think.
(INHALES) Answer the question, Michael.
Opportunity for what?
Yeah, I you know
You know I don't involve myself
with men "full of sound and fury."
I am merely
an observer.
Can you have dinner with me?
Because I have missed you so.
It's been too long.
You're always with me though.
This voice
in my head.
(WHISPERING) And I
hope to keep it there.
I'll meet you in the dining room.
MICHAEL: Mmm.
I'll lay the table.
(DOOR CLOSES)
(INHALES)
(HEAVY BREATHING)
Is Yasmina all right?
(LONG SOFT BREATH)
Michael may not come through.
We need to find another way
to get the passports
and immigration papers.
I don't care what it
takes or what it costs.
We've done it before. Get it done.
(PHONE THUDS)
I need to ask you a question.
Did you ever see any signs
of Russian involvement in this plot?
Yes.
The man you saw in Paris.
Emir, he would often speak to someone
on his cell in Russian.
Anything else?
There's the truck that
got me out of Raqqa
was a Russian military truck. But why?
I've come to believe
that the Russian FSB
is behind this attack.
You and it are just their cover.
They are using you as a pawn
in their sick game of
retaliation against the US.
None of that means anything to me.
I only did this because he promised me
they'll protect me.
What did he promise you?
That if I designed this
plan, they'd allow me freedom.
That was the only choice I had
to have a life with Yasmina.
- So, why do you need me?
- Because when I found you,
I thought maybe you'd
help me find another way.
I am not so sure I trust you.
Still
Tell me why we're here.
(CLICKS TONGUE) I will not betray you.
I will get you on a flight
tomorrow morning with
your daughter. All right?
Tell me the name.
Tell me the name of the ship.
Like I said, only when I see her.
If you're lying to me, you'll regret it.
You will pay a terrible price,
and I will not be able to help you.
Is Emir Yasmina's father?
ADILAH: No.
I don't know who Yasmina's father is.
After the bomb in the hotel, I ran away
but they found me,
and when they bring you
back, they do things to you.
It could have been any of them.
Once you're a mother
as you know,
doesn't really matter who
the father is, does it?
No.
It doesn't.
I love her.
I love her and I miss
my daughter every day.
I'm sorry.
I need to have dinner alone with him.
I have an idea
and I need you to listen
to me very carefully.
(RUSTLING)
(DOOR CLOSING)
Your chauffeur was rude to Adilah today.
Oh.
I thought you would have
got rid of him by now.
I find his hatred focuses him.
Can be quite, erm, valuable.
And you trust him?
Oh, yes.
Yes, I do.
And I'm so very happy that
you still trust me, Violet.
IMOGEN: Mmm.
That name.
Silly girl.
"Silly girl".
(DEEP BREATH)
Such a silly, silly
silly girl.
Said in that voice
(SCOFFS)
It appears you want to
want to say something to me.
(SCOFFS)
And
Why exactly did you come back?
- (CUTLERY CLINKS)
- Hmm?
I want you to tell me
the truth about my father.
All my life, I've never
understood something.
But
why would they kill
a British diplomat
unless they knew
that he had done something
worth killing him for?
They were trying to get rid of him
or perhaps cover something up?
Turns out
I was right.
He was a traitor
Michael.
He worked for the Russians.
He was a double agent
and he betrayed his country,
and everyone he knew.
Which means that
throughout my whole childhood
the man I loved
was lying.
But I think you knew.
I know you, er,
you must be very proud of yourself.
Although, I'm not in
the least bit surprised
by the level of your skill.
Shut the fuck up.
Let me finish.
You were his protege.
He loved you,
and he moulded you,
as you moulded me.
But you became something
I could never become,
something beyond my father
Oh.
with no conscience.
(EXHALES) Violet,
"there is nothing either good or bad
but thinking makes it so."
Here's the thing, my darling
now, you know light,
it needs darkness
to exist.
Equilibrium of the world order
swings like a pendulum.
We're going from a golden age
of traditionalism and
relative social order
to one of darkness.
There comes a point when
you have to encourage
that darkness, to nurse
it along, if you will.
Only the complete collapse
of where we are now
will allow the reemergence
of another golden age.
As we know, where
where there is chaos,
there is also opportunity.
You know
Oh, I've waited so patiently
for you to come home,
and then perhaps
perhaps see things
with more clarity.
I am still
still in love with you, you know that.
Our girl would've been
now would've been ten.
Can you remember her face?
(BREATH TREMBLING)
(TREMBLES, WHISPERS) Yes.
Every
day.
Every day.
Come out with it.
I can take care of you again.
You know
Marcus and I were just so
so fucking proud of your
of your shining intelligence.
You know the world is
(EXHALES, CHUCKLES)
so much more complicated
than you can ever imagine.
One thing he never got
the chance to teach you.
You know and I thought I had.
You have
Is it still in my room?
Yes.
Yes, of course.
I'll meet you there.
