The Perfect Weapon Page #2

---

Trust no one.

No, the first thing

I ever taught you

was to follow orders.

Put your weapon on the ground.

Right now.

No, sir.

Yes, sir.

Go, go, go, go!

If re-conditioning takes place,

it won't take that long.

Assuming you

cooperate, of course.

You will be like new.

All of your old memories

and feelings gone.

Like they never existed.

Almost like a rebirth.

That's right, like a rebirth.

Like a Phoenix rising

from the ashes.

I almost envy you.

You could do the same. I mean,

maybe you get rid of all those

nagging betrayals that are

always on your conscious.

If I had a conscience.

This is what I would

call inexcusable.

You're the Controller right?

This is your

responsibility here.

Agreed.

This Axon Rey.

He's one of yours?

One of mine.

Code name Condor, war veteran,

Medals of Courage, Valor,

wounded three times,

honorable discharge,

no surviving family,

38 successful sanctions.

Y'all been busy, I'm impressed.

The State has many enemies.

Yeah well,

we're gonna see if we can

lessen that a little bit.

I will keep the

water warm for you.

We can't let sh*t get the

way it was before the war.

We spent too much

time too much effort.

Too many lives were lost

to get this thing in order.

The balance is almost there now.

My biggest concern right now

are the illegal broadcasts.

We took out one of the

figure heads tonight.

But there will be someone

else to take his place.

We need somebody

that can really,

successfully, take out the

next owl that comes up.

Condor is the best.

His behavior in the

last 24 hours

would give me

the impression that

that's not exactly the case.

How do you want to

deal with this mess?

Reconditioning.

Oh, reconditioning.

So you're recommending

the Gulag.

Gulag

7, to be exact.

Your costly little

experiment having to do with

human behavior modification,

is that right?

I prefer to think

of it this way.

An operative at the

point of burnout

has been compromised

by something weak,

something sentimental.

A feeling of love,

pity, compassion.

I dare say, human weaknesses.

Love.

A man's consciousness

is malleable.

It can be reshaped

to fit our purposes.

I can do this, I will do this.

He will be your perfect weapon.

Raise your hand.

Okay.

When I hold you,

go ahead raise your hand.

You see, when I raise

your hand, you go up,

when I raise it

down, you go down.

When I lift you up, you go up.

All of these things are

things that manipulate you,

but they're not things

that have to hurt you.

They're things that

just manipulate you

because I can use pure thought.

Those are the things

that really make

for the ultimate warrior.

An operative

with this man's duties
