John
John
Sis?
John
John
There’s no point in running.
John
John
I know where you are.
John
John
You’re in Angelique’s car with Sylvie.
John
John
Sitting on the shoulder of l’Autoroute du Nord.
John
John
With smashed cars and dead bodies stretching out as far as you can see.
John
John
No matter where you go, I’ll find you.
John
John
We’ve been watching you for years.
John
John
Often in the dark, with our faces hidden.
John
John
We know what you’re thinking.
John
John
And we know exactly where you are.
Chrissy
Chrissy
We?
John
John
Father and me. Along with a few loyal followers.
John
John
We understood what needed to be done and were willing to sacrifice their lives to make it happen.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Henry’s dead.
Chrissy
Chrissy
And he certainly isn’t our father.
Chrissy
Chrissy
He used us.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Manipulated us.
Chrissy
Chrissy
What’s happening now is all because of him.
John
John
Yes, it is.
John
John
But it’s a beautiful thing.
John
John
I know it doesn’t seem that way right now.
John
John
But you’ll see the beauty of it in time.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Why me?
Chrissy
Chrissy
If you also have the virus, why didn’t YOU release it?
John
John
You know why.
John
John
I…
Chrissy
Chrissy
It’s because you’re completely unemotional, isn’t it.
John
John
Yes.
John
John
When have you ever seen me angry or scared?
John
John
Even with what’s happening now, all I see is beauty.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Please, John.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Please…don’t let this happen.
Chrissy
Chrissy
We can still stop it.
John
John
It’s too late for that.
John
John
Paris is gone now.
John
John
And the rest of the world will be dead within a week.
John
John
We couldn’t stop it now if we wanted.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Oh God.
Chrissy
Chrissy
You’re sick.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Worse than Hitler.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Worse than the craziest psychopaths to ever live.
Chrissy
Chrissy
You just killed billions of people.
Chrissy
Chrissy
And that’s “beauty” in your eyes?
John
John
Everyone dies eventually.
John
John
Just look at what the world has become over the past hundred years.
John
John
We’ve made the greatest leaps in science and technology in all of human history.
John
John
We have enough resources to feed and educate fifty billion people.
John
John
And look what we’ve done with this power and knowledge God’s given us.
John
John
Did you know that 80 percent of the world lives in extreme poverty?
John
John
Waking up every day with no hope of a future.
John
John
And the worst part?
John
John
Those 80 percent are bearing 99 percent of the children.
John
John
Things couldn’t continue like that.
Chrissy
Chrissy
It’s not your place to decide that, John.
John
John
Then whose place is it?
John
John
The United Nations?
John
John
They clearly haven’t done a very good job.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Better them than you.
John
John
Why?
John
John
Because I’m just a poor orphan from Bulgaria?
John
John
There’s a reason you and I met each other, Sis.
John
John
There’s a reason Henry found us both and brought us together.
John
John
And there’s a reason he sacrificed his life to make things better.
John
John
I know you can’t see that now, but you will.
John
John
It might take months, or maybe even years…
John
John
But eventually, you’ll see God’s plan.
Chrissy
Chrissy
All I see now is people dying.
Chrissy
Chrissy
WHOLE FAMILIES!
Chrissy
Chrissy
A little boy in the middle of the road, lifeless with his father’s limp arms around him.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Don’t tell me that needed to happen.
Chrissy
Chrissy
And don’t tell me all of this is God’s plan.
Chrissy
Chrissy
If what I’m looking at now is God’s plan, then I don’t want anything to do with him.
Chrissy
Chrissy
And I certainly don’t want anything to do with you.
John
John
I knew you’d feel this way.
Chrissy
Chrissy
How insightful.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Just leave us alone.
Chrissy
Chrissy
In fact, you better PRAY you never see me again.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Because I WILL kill you, John.
Chrissy
Chrissy
And I won’t feel an ounce of guilt in doing so.
John
John
It’s okay, sis.
John
John
I know this is hard.
John
John
But you’ll come around.
John
John
In fact…
Chrissy
Chrissy
In fact, WHAT??
John
John
Turn the car around.
John
John
Come back to the airport.
John
John
Sylvie’s such a strong little girl.
John
John
Didn’t even cry when you dragged Angelique’s bloody body away and started the engine.
John
John
I was watching, you know?
John
John
And what I was going to say a moment ago was…
John
John
If you come back to the airport, or meet me somewhere, I’ll let you kill me if you still want to after hearing what I have to say.
John
John
Just give me a moment to speak to you face to face first…
John
John
Deal?
John
John
Deal??
Chrissy starts to reply, but her phone goes dead.
