:17:17
- Is this stool taken?
- No. Go--
:17:22
You look good, Richard.
You look fit, healthy.
:17:27
Not at all like a man responsible
for the deaths of 18 people.
:17:34
Is that why you're here? To blame me?
You could've saved yourself the trip.
:17:39
I know where the blame belongs.
:17:43
But I didn't put you in prison, Andrew.
The government did.
:17:45
Oh, I'm well aware of what
the government did, I assure you.
:17:51
Actually, I just come to say how
grateful I am to you and the government.
:17:56
- Grateful?
- Mm-hmm.
:17:58
Together, you gave me
the opportunity to realize...
:18:02
just how very wrong
my life had gone.
:18:05
Do you remember telling me once
that all through my career,
:18:08
I'd never fit in?
:18:10
Well, you were right, of course,
:18:14
but after years
of thinking the matter over,
:18:17
I began to see that the whole thing
wasn't really my problem.
:18:20
What rational man could fit in
with the sorts of things
our government was doing?
:18:25
The sorts of things
you've always done, Richard?
:18:30
Do you think I haven't seen
the bodies of those men
every time I've closed my eyes?
:18:34
- But after you went away--
- "Went away"?
:18:37
"Went away."
I like that.
:18:39
It's almost quaint.
:18:43
All right.
After they put you away,
:18:47
I began trying to find ways of
controlling the effects of the weapon...
:18:51
- that we tested on Horn Island.
- And let me guess-- you failed.
:18:54
So far, y-yes.
:18:57
Why is it you scientists can create
implements of destruction so quickly,
