Genesis Page #5

only five children

are permitted to be

born in Eden each year.

[Eve] That's right.

But there are no children

born here before that day.

Why?

They didn't have time to

go and get their children.

Only two made it.

And they died soon after.

[Ainsley] We

should move her off

the project and let

Dr. Smith take over.

Don't be ridiculous.

Smith hasn't half the knowledge.

[Ainsley] She's

uncontrollable.

No one is uncontrollable.

She'll have him

ready in a few days.

Personally I'm concerned

we don't have time James.

Insurgency is at our doorstep.

It's your paranoia

that's at our doorstep.

If we don't send

the Mark III out

to retrieve supplies

soon the civilians

and their leaders

will cause trouble.

They have very little hope left.

Precisely.

The people of Eden

will always obey us

as long as they have some hope,

just not enough to

galvanize their bravery.

You and Robert

never had children.

No.

Why?

We were

too busy trying to conquer death

to think about creating life.

Mark I.

I see.

Create immortality to dispel

the need for procreation.

Robert believed that

there was no greater

impulse for human kind

than to conquer death.

I cannot understand this

human obsession with death.

Would it not be better

to focus on life?

I couldn't have children.

Something I've had to push to

the far reaches of my mind.

Do you miss Robert?

I used to.

But now I have you.

(contemplative music)

I spoke to Gadd.

He's up for it.

What did I say, no

what did I tell you?

No, no recruitment drive.

It's not an easy thing.

You don't control wild

animals by arguing nicely.

It takes discipline.

That's why they

need men like us.

Traded these beauties for

that old football of mine.

Fancy a game?

Take him to the

f***ing cleaners Danny.

Think about what I said Frost.

[Computer] Standby

for the President.

[President] Citizens of Eden

remember lab access

is restricted.

(contemplative music)

[Cain] Is everything clear?

[Gadd] Crystal.

(contemplative music)

[Cain] Don't miss.

(gun c*cks)

Nothing comes.

Brooks' daughter.

Here's that other

thing you asked for.

(contemplative music)

[Steven] McMan

didn't stand a chance.

We need to insist that

the military suits

are made available

for punishment detail.

I'm trying.

Ainsley's not letting

me get to the President.

Then ask Frost.

At least he has a conscious.

I don't trust him.

At least he can

insist that there's

a military presence

in each detail.

Broadman.

(footsteps approaching)

Fancy a bit of

company sweetheart?

Shouldn't you

be harassing some

poor old lady down in Civie?

You know one of these

days you're gonna...

(alarm beeps)
