Ultraviolet Page #4

l told you, there is no cure.

You wouldn't create an antigen

without an antidote...

...you could administer to yourself

and your manciples.

Very nice, Violet.

Well, yes, there is an antidote.

And, yes, when l get the boy...

...l isolate the antigen

and release it into the atmosphere.

Anyone who wants to live will

queue up daily at this door to get it.

l thought we were

the ones you hated.

l thought we were the ones

you were trying to wipe out.

That's the problem.

You were. Past tense.

But now that you and those like you

are all but extinct...

...what's someone like me--

Someone with a job to do.

--going to use

to keep order in a society...

...that, left to itself, would sprint

toward chaos like an Olympic event?

We did our job too well.

Now, must we make amends.

You disgust me.

lt's a relative term, Violet.

Give me what l want.

Come and get it.

You won't have him.

Projection disruption.

There's just too many, V.

Just too many.

Six.

-Violet.

-l'm here. l'm here.

What's that sound, V?

V, what's that sound?

lt's just the wind.

lt's just the wind.

Too late. He's gone.

Quarantine the corpse.

Get it to the Archministry.

Maybe we can salvage

something out of it.

And her, sir?

Have an incendiary team sanitize

the area immediately.

-All personnel, clear the area.

-Get the body on ice.

Prepare it for disassembly.

-We'll go in for salvage at daybreak.

-Yes, doctor.

All personnel,

clear the area immediately.

Violet.

Violet.

Violet.

Violet.

Garth?

We very thoughtfully subbed in

for the incendiary team.

Your heart stopped three times...

...but after four hours of surgery

and a lot of prayer...

...we managed to save your life.

You what?

Careful.

l was there, Garth. l was there.

You brought me back?

For what?

So l could do it all over again?

Why? Why?

lsn't it...?

lsn't it obvious?

Why won't you ever let anyone in?

Because...

...these moments...

...as beautiful as they are...

...they're evil when they're gone.

Has the third act begun yet?

lt's just about to.

lt's just about to.

Violet. It's me, Garth.

Listen, turn on the TV.

You're all over the place.

Every channel.

-Just minutes ago--

-Listen to me.

I know you're in a bad place.

But what the boy wrote down

on that piece of paper...

...it has something to do

with the HGV virus.

I know it. I can feel it.

Violet, if you could just give me

a little more time.

V, are you listening?

A number of helicopters

were also spotted at the scene--

-Where are you?

-Outer 1 0th Artery. Westbound.

Stay on course. l'll converge in 1 5.

Archministry on approach.

You can't get in there.

lt's impossible.

Why do you think we had you

intercept the case...

-...before it got back to Archministry?

-l'm aware of that.

What's the point? Retribution?

-The boy is dead.

-He's not dead.

-What do you mean?

-Weapons capacity reached.

l mean Six is alive.

Violet, how can he be alive?

Look, what the boy

wrote down on the paper...

...it's the chemical foundation

of what l'm certain...

...is a cure for hemoglophagia.

Daxus' researchers probably

developed it...

...in the same lab

that he was bred in.

Just give me a little time.

l can cure you.

l know it.

The antigen can't survive

without a living host.

However, we may be able to salvage

some viable basic protein analogs...

...that will save us time in re-culturing

the antigen in another clone.

Searching for concealed weapons.

Number of weapons found: many.

l'm here to see the vice-cardinal.

Yellow alert! Yellow alert!

Yellow alert! Yellow alert!

Yellow alert! Yellow alert!

Yellow alert!

-lt's-- lt's her.

-She's dead.

Oh, my God.

Single female intruder identified

at Security Portal One.

Please remain calm.

Pacification and neutralization

is underway.

The boy's dead.

This is pure suicide.

Yellow alert upgraded.

Orange alert.

One woman against 1 4 men?

lt's ridiculous.

Have the Gas Guard waiting

for her in the library.

-l'm going to level her.

-Orange alert.

How much weaponry

does she have left?

Based on the scans taken

from the security portal...

...plenty.

Okay.

Red alert. Red alert.

Red alert. Red alert.

You are all gonna die.

ls that all you've got?

Violet, the boy is dead.

You obviously don't have

a clear grasp of what dead really is.

Allow me to demonstrate.

For God's sakes.

Violet, l'm unarmed.

Not yet, you're not.

No.

You got Hemo blood on me.

lt is on.

Yeah, it is.

Yes, no doubt, in a fair fight

you would beat me.

But that's not how l got

where l am today.

Can you see me, Violet?

No?

Too bad you converted with

only mild light sensitivity.

Unlike me.

-What?

-That's right, Violet.

How do you think

a lowly lab technician...

...made that meteoric rise

through the ranks?

What accident of providence...

...do you think gave him

those additional qualities?

Yes, Violet...

...I'm like you.

My God.

With the minor exception that

l'm going to walk out of here alive.

Violet?

Violet.

Do you believe in God, Violet?

Do you hope he's merciful?

Do you think he'll welcome you

into his arms...

...like the so very many you've

sent his way?

Hey, Daxus.

You know, after this,

l think he will.

Six.

Six, wake up.

Violet?

But...

...l thought l was dead.

No.

You've just been reborn.

Violet?

Violet.

Violet.

-lt's okay.

-No, it's not.

Violet, listen to me.

There's a cure.

l know.

l've found it.

Come on.

Yes, I was born into a world

you might not understand...

...but a world, as it turns out...

...where hope still lives.

And my body?

Would Garth be able to fix it...

...the way another

had cured my soul?

Maybe, maybe not.

But this I do know:

All those still out there

who spread oppression...

...injustice and hatred...

...they better hope not.
