Equilibrium Page #2

Synopsis: In a futuristic world, a strict regime has eliminated war by suppressing emotions: books, art and music are strictly forbidden and feeling is a crime punishable by death. Cleric John Preston (Bale) is a top ranking government agent responsible for destroying those who resist the rules. When he misses a dose of Prozium, a mind-altering drug that hinders emotion, Preston, who has been trained to enforce the strict laws of the new regime, suddenly becomes the only person capable of overthrowing it.

themselves.

Cleric...

I can only hope one day

to be as...

uncompromising as you.

Good night.

The later 20th century

saw the fortuitous

and simultaneous rise

of two synergistic political

and psychological sciences.

The first, the revolutionary

precept of the hate crime.

John?

Yes?

I saw Robbie Taylor

crying today.

He didn't know, but I saw.

Do you think

I should report him?

Unquestionably.

...a single inescapable fact...

that mankind united with

infinitely greater purpose

in pursuit of war...

than he ever did

in pursuit of peace.

"But I, being poor...

have only my dreams."

I have spread my dreams

under your feet."

"Tread softly...

because you tread

on my dreams."

Don't move! Don't move!

Comply! Comply!

- Stop! Stop where you are!

- Get down! Get down!

Don't shoot.

This is a lawful entry.

We have a warrant

for your wife's arrest.

She's charged

with sense offense.

- Hey!

Get her!

Get her off him now!

Remember me.

- Libria...

Awake.

Awaken to triumph again

in the face of yet another day,

another step

in our unified march

- Into the unwavering purpose...

...move ahead together

into the certainty

of our collective destiny.

What are you doing?

I said, what are you doing?

I accidently dropped my...

morning interval.

I took it out

before I brushed my teeth.

I never take it out

before I brush my teeth.

Then you'll go by Equilibrium,

log the loss,

and get a replacement.

Yes.

Of course.

Your new partner called.

He says he'll pick you up

at 10:
00 for the A.N.R.

I hope you don't mind.

I took the liberty

of telling him

you would be at Equilibrium,

replacing your dose.

No, of course not.

That was the right thing

to do.

Stop that.

Due to terrorist activity,

this site is

temporarily closed.

Proceed to the Equilibrium

Center in Sector 8A.

More than punctual, Cleric.

Hop in.

How were the lines?

I'm surprised you were able

to get your interval

and get out so quickly.

No, they're...

they're fine today.

Maybe I'll drop by later,

get my interval adjusted.

You expecting Resistance?

That's something you'll find

about me, Cleric.

I'm a wary person,

cautious by nature.

Always expecting the worst.

You can't do this.

You cannot do this.

Tetragrammaton.

There's nothing we can't do.

How long have you been off

the dose?

Look at you.

Look at you!

Look at you.

The mirror's frame is illegal.

Destroy it.

We have suppression.

We're making entry.

Standard deployment.

Collecting catalog.

Illegal articles.

You're gonna burn it,
