Naomie Harris: Justin Falls

Quotes 

• Faraday : I had a right.

  Thomas Newton : Rights? You had a "right to the truth," did you?

  Faraday : You told me I was going home. I want to go home.

  Thomas Newton : So do I.

  [gong sounds] 

  Thomas Newton : You know, they allow me to practice praying here. It's the only thing I've been curious about for ages. They allow me to be present, so as you can see, I gave them our seeds. I couldn't just be a shitlord, take their water and breathe their air and not give, something. And they opened themselves. Most humans can't open themselves to us without losing their fucking minds, but these guys are divine. Anyway, they're not a bundle of laughs, but they're not bent on the destruction of all living things, either.

  [gong sounds] 

  Thomas Newton : [shushes, whispering]  Vow of silence.

  Faraday : Don't pretend you're a child of God.

  Thomas Newton : Maybe I am. And listen to you. I've created a monster. All worked up over a lie. I knew you'd tell her. She wouldn't have done her bit if she knew.

  Justin Falls : You don't know anything...

  [interrupted] 

  Faraday : Anything about her.

  [Justin glares at Faraday for interrupting] 

  Justin Falls : Just show us why we're here.

• Thomas Newton : This is how we all survive. This is how your daughter's children have a chance.

  Justin Falls : No. No, I... I... I can't open that door. No. If this is the end for us, then we end as we are. It's taken us forever to become who we are.

  Thomas Newton : I know. Don't you think I loved you when I came here? I did. I didn't have the words for it, but I did and you took my science and my eyes, and hunted me like an animal.

  [sighs] 

  Thomas Newton : All you had to do was love me back.

• Faraday : That won't happen. I promise you. I will protect everyone from him. I will protect Molly.

  Justin Falls : How? Why should I believe you?

  Faraday : Because I... because I love her.

  Justin Falls : You don't know anything about love.

  Faraday : I learned.

  Justin Falls : You learned?

  Faraday : I didn't have a choice. You... you picked me up from the side of the road when you had every reason not to. When I gave you every reason not to, but you did it. And every day, when you braid Molly's hair. Her beautiful hair. And when your father's skin is cracked and dry from the medication, you help him. And the way you forgive me. Do you even realize what an act of love that is? And you do it without thinking. So how could I possibly stay blind to love around you? It's in me.

  Justin Falls : I almost believe you.

  Faraday : Almost has to be enough. Otherwise, everyone is gone.

• Chief of Staff : [knocking on glass signaling Drew to join them outside the glass]  Drew, you're out. Dominguez, you're up.

  Hatch Flood : That's some potent loathing.

  Justin Falls : You know who they're gonna ask you for.

• Justin Falls : You don't get to decide!

  Thomas Newton : I didn't. You did. You're already drones. Humans will do anything as long as it confirms something they need to believe about themselves, Ms. Falls. Even you. He told you, you were special, you enlisted.

  Justin Falls : He told me we'd save everything. All of us.

  Thomas Newton : And we are.

• Lisa Dominguez : Justin. I'm alone.

  Justin Falls : Get off my property.

  Lisa Dominguez : Please can I talk to you?

  Justin Falls : You wanna talk to me?

  Lisa Dominguez : I need to talk to someone. I can't tell a priest. I can't tell anyone, but you. You were able to carry all this. Everything you know about him and you didn't go insane. How?

  Justin Falls : Well, I didn't torture anyone, for starters.

  Lisa Dominguez : I knew where he came from, but I never saw him for what he really was... Is. He's sent from God. And I... I tried to sell him out for money... from an oil company.

  Justin Falls : What do you want?

  Lisa Dominguez : The CIA, they're gonna kill me. They have to, eventually. But before they do, they're gonna take him. And when they take him, they'll come for you, too. You were right about my mother. She gave me this to make me remember that God...

  [sniffles] 

  Lisa Dominguez : is always watching. Please take it.

  [hands crucifix toward Justin] 

  Lisa Dominguez : I don't wanna die with it on. Please.

  [Justin accepts the crucifix] 

  Lisa Dominguez : I'm sorry.

  Justin Falls : You weren't working for an oil company. Newton is Thorn.

  [Dominguez scoffs] 

  Justin Falls : Does that make it better or worse?

  [Dominguez turns and exits]
