Father, it is not too late.

177
00:15:38,896 --> 00:15:40,897
Surely there must
be some other way.

178
00:15:40,898 --> 00:15:43,526
No, daughter.
The decision has been made.

190
00:17:34,262 --> 00:17:38,683
Perhaps, Detective, it is time
that you and I finally finish this.

191
00:17:38,849 --> 00:17:42,061
It is the only chance you will
have to stop that satellite.

192
00:17:44,855 --> 00:17:46,023
Well?

199
00:18:39,285 --> 00:18:42,079
It appears that we will both
perish together, Detective.

200

Perhaps it is time I am finally
one with the planet I so love.

You must understand, beloved,

210
00:20:31,188 --> 00:20:33,816
I share my father's vision
and seek the same ends

211
00:20:33,899 --> 00:20:36,360
but I do not choose his
means to those ends.

212
00:20:36,444 --> 00:20:37,987
I know.
