This way.
50,000 years ago, mankind faced
its first major threat of extinction,
a devastation rocked by nature: the Ice Age.
It lasted 5,000 years, rendered four fifths
of the earth's surface uninhabitable,
and wiped out all but the hardiest
of nature's creations.
One of these few was man.
From that devastation
dawned a new age - and a new hope.
Phoenix-like, man arose from the frozen
wilderness and set forth upon his dream.
Mankind has endured
many catastrophes since then,
but none so grave
as the one which faces him today.
The economic crisis of the past decade
has brought inflation, famine and chaos
Some label it the Great Recession.
Others are calling it Armageddon,
that final upheaval of the world
foretold by the prophets of old.
But amid all the pessimism,
one voice rings out its faith in the future:
Thorn, the world's leading light
in building a new tomorrow.
Trite, rhetorical,
clich?d, inane.
Viewers don't pay
much attention to that, Damien.
No, you're right. And there won't be
much attention to that bullshit either.
I said I wanted action, not words.
clamouring for a bellyful of Thorn soya.
Thorn medical teams,
construction, engineering.
Instead of which, you spend half the
commercial giving us a third-grade version
of the history of the Ice Age.
Do we have footage of
the Australian drought relief?
Sure, but nothing new,
and most of it's been seen on TV already.
We'll find you something.
In the meantime, go with the old commercial.
I don't want that one used.
- What have we got coming up?
- Botswana next week, then the Aswan Dam.
- Can we get a film unit to Botswana?
- Sure, but no relief unit till after the coup.
- No one's sure how long that's gonna take.
- All right. It'll have to be the Aswan Dam.
Have a film unit there when it goes.
Make sure they give our relief units coverage.
Don't let the Red Cross beat them to it.
Why don't you go?
Now that would be a real coup.
Damien Thorn
supervising relief work in person!
No, I've got to stay here.
- What for?
- To be on hand when the president calls me.
of ambassador to Great Britain.
- I beg your pardon?
- Are you familiar with the Book of Hebron?
No, I don't know anything
about the Book of Hebron.
It's in the Apocrypha - one of the more
obscure backwaters of the Septuagint Bible.
"And it shall come to pass
that in the end days
the beast shall reign one hundred score
and thirty days and nights."
"And the faithful shall cry unto the Lord:
Wherefore art thou in the day of evil?"
"And the Lord shall hear their prayers."
"And out of the angel isle
he shall bring forth a deliverer,
a holy lamb of God
who shall do battle with the beast...
"The beast shall reign one hundred score
and thirty days and nights"
is another way of saying seven years.
That's the time I've been head of Thorn.
"And out of the angel isle
he shall bring forth a deliverer."
The "angel isle" - the original Latin
has "exinsula angelorum".
England.
The Second Coming.
Only it won't be the beast that is destroyed.
It'll be the Nazarene.
You said you were gonna be offered
the post of ambassador to Great Britain.
What about our present ambassador?
Afternoon, sir.
Good afternoon, Mr. Ambassador.
Good afternoon, Mr. Ambassador.
I just had Mr. Sears on the line.
- No calls from anyone.
- He said it was urgent and I was to remind...
- Press office.
- This is the ambassador.
I want a press conference.
