The Speed of Thought Page #5

Synopsis: Joshua Lazarus (Nick Stahl) possesses a special gift that enables him to read people's minds, and the government has trained him to use his ability for missions involving national defense, all the while telling him that it will ultimately destroy him -- but will it? When Joshua falls in love with Anna (Mía Maestro), another telepathic "scoper," he and his friend, Kira (Taryn Manning), must find a cure for their gift and expose the lies.

No.

Fair enough.

Come on, let me show you.

You can create scenarios

rudimentary.

I build cities.

With people and I control.

Throw your wallet on the floor.

Are not real.

Saint-real enough.

Kick-it.

They may not exist out there

but there are here.

And this is a small part.

The new skills you

getting...

they reach 29 or 30 years

and only get stronger.

You can not imagine

things I can do.

That 'the panic.

Yes

So imagine how

normals react.

A powerful attacker

can not hide...

but if there are many,

they would exterminate us.

As it stands,

Some believe that the invaders...

-Are too risky.

Bridger-know?

No. She thinks my skills

are limited as its...

and yet

she is terrified.

The only answer...

was convincing the NSA that the invaders

are useful for a few years...

before they learn too

to be reliable.

They think that this system

keeps us under control.

In fact, does exactly Bridger

I want it to do...

without even realizing it.

E. ..

it goes much higher.

Of course, the scary part

is to oversee the deaths...

of my own children.

But it was necessary.

Have a good few years...

is better than nothing.

Then, with the NSA, I invented

Widmann's syndrome.

It allows you to decide

end their lives...

with dignity.

I understand.

Great. Because now,

you understand what's coming.

Sure, Margot, he is ready.

We have a job

for you, Lazarus.

We want you

take control of the House.

You will have the same authority

Sandy has always had that.

You will report to me,

Of course, as he does.

You owe me an explanation.

Why do I keep healthy?

It is an anomaly. Every disease has

someone who flees the statistics.

That 'gives hope

for the other attackers.

What happens

if I say no?

I do not recommend it.

Now you understand, Joshua,

I'll have to get in your head...

and ensure that you have accepted

our terms unconditionally.

And you know, there's someone

what could be his companion.

'Take the job.

And the right thing to do.

The right thing?

We can help people

and stay together.

What more could we ask?

Dying does not solve anything.

And he will not kill you only.

He'll kill me too.

I know.

I said:
''I know''.

So tell Sandy you accept.

Tell him I'll do everything together.

Okay, I accept.

Under one condition.

We will announce

complete healing of Widmann.

You know it's impossible.

You do not have

the courage to kill myself.

You alleviates their guilt, doing

that is our decision.

If you do not accept the position,

I'll give it to a normal.

Who knows what that

will mean for its people?

Is that...

an abomination.

"How dare you say something?

-Stop.

Sandy, stop.

If you have loved someone in life,

would know that it does not work.

-That does not change the truth, Joshua.

"Just because you save some lives...

this does not entitle him

to take others.

You better try your luck

with normals.

Reconsider, Joshua.

Or you two will be dead

in a minute.

In less than that.

You should think carefully

on your choice, Bridger.

My God.

We will tell the kids

what is happening...

and none of them will

a service for you.

"We have to go immediately...

-Shut up, Sandy.

I have a bigger problem here.

Our offer is flexible.

You know my terms.

Those guys will know Kira.

lmagine how it will be revealing.

Okay.

You can not think

to allow that to happen.

You do not see the consequences

for our people?

lnvasores can be trained

not to abuse their powers.

Do not be naive.

If people have power,

they will use it.

I'll do

one last favor.

No one should die alone.

No.

Goodbye.

I wish there was

another way.

-Josh, we have to...

Go away, Kira.

Kira!

I will watch it later.

You can not fight everyone.

Make union with everything.

We'll get together.

You were wrong

about everything.

I was?

It was, yes.

Sandy was killed, no?

That 'depends.

If I never come to...

then yes, he killed himself.

No.

Put that gun.

Our deal still holds?

Yes

Are you here?

I'm here.
