-
- [Radio Voice] These clowns
are on the sidelines.
-
They're just white noise background
for the collapse of the American empire.
-
And when America falls, my friend,
-
then we are headed
back to the dark ages.
-
Are you feelin' me here?
-
Now do you understand what I mean
when I say dark ages?
-
I mean,
-
humans reduced to
roving bands of barbarians.
-
Animals!
-
That's what the dark ages were.
-
Little patches of humanity and society
surrounded by a sea of barbarian hordes.
-
And where there was society...
-
- [Viggo] Once there was
just men and nature.
-
Then men came bearing crosses.
-
We used to believe that we were
the center of the universe.
-
That the sun and the stars
all revolved around us.
-
And we spent the last years
since Copernicus in this slow crawl...
-
to where we are now,
-
to this pinnacle of human achievement.
-
Where we finally bent
nature to our will.
-
We split the atom.
-
We broke the fabric of reality.
-
That's how far we've come.
-
Now the lights of our cities stretch
further than the stars in the sky.
-
But the more perfect society gets...
-
the more psychotic we become.
-
We evolved through brutality.
-
That's why we had teeth and claws.
-
Self preservation was the highest law.
-
But as time went on...
-
the pack began to provide for us...
-
and we abandoned our violent nature.
-
But it never went away.
-
Laid beside us in our sleep.
-
Waiting.
-
And as it waited...
-
we became slaves to
the systems we built.
-
Now it's all falling apart.
-
Soon our cities will be
washed away by floods.
-
Buried in sand.
-
Burned to the ground.
-
That's why you found me.
-
Because you're no longer
blind to all this.
-
When I was in the bureau...
-
I got shot in the head.
-
I lost my eye.
-
My body deteriorated.
-
And I died for three minutes.
-
But when I came back from the other side,
everything was clear to me.
-
It was like I'd been given a gift.
-
As the world fractures...
-
Someone...
-
Someone has to be there
to protect innocence.
