Jasmine, it's over. You've lost.
I've lost? Do you have any idea what you've done?
What I had to do.
No. No, Angel. There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices. I offered paradise. You chose this!
Because I could. Because that's what you took away from us. Choice.
And look what free will has gotten you.
Hey, I didn't say we were smart. I said it's our right. It's what makes us human.
But you're not human.
Working on it.
[Jasmine turns to walk away]
Where you going?
Leave me alone.
Sorry, but... can't do that.
What? You've taken everything. You're gonna try to kill me now, as if you could.
Maybe not. But I'll die before I let you hurt anyone else.
You're already dead!
You know what I mean. It ends right here.
Why do you hate me so much?
Let's run down the list, huh? Rain of fire, blotting out the sun, enslaving mankind, and, yeah, oh, yeah, hey, you eat people!
Like you never have?
Thousands of people are dead because of what you've done.
And how many will die because of you? I could've stopped it, Angel. All of it. War, disease, poverty. How many precious, beautiful lives would've been saved in a handful of years? Yes, I murdered thousands to save billions. This world is doomed to drown in its own blood now.
The price was too high, Jasmine. Our fate has to be our own, or we're nothing.
Like me?
Look, we've all done horrible things. All we can do is try and make up for it. So, OK, you know, it's not the world that you wanted, but maybe you can still help us make it better, even if you have lost your powers.
Not all of them.
[Jasmine punches Angel so hard that it sends him flying over the edge of the bridge. He lands on a car hood. Jasmine, still on the bridge, picks up a station wagon.]
