They're in there now! Please, you know this is wrong.
No, I know this is legal. I know this is authorized.
Just because it's legal, it makes it right?
I'm not gonna debate this with you! [pause] I don't know what you two expected to come out of this. I'm not in the habit of helping people who threaten my family.
I'm trying to save my children!
Yeah, you're children, who were apprehended attacking a key infrastructure facility, which makes them terrorists.
Terrorists? They are high school students.
You wanna talk about how bad off your kids are? Our child is gone! [pause] Whatever their circumstances, your kids are alive.
But for how long? That's your justification for experimenting on them? Torturing them? A 15-year-old and a 17-year old–
Reed, please. [to Jace] I know how upsetting this must be. When you came into my house with a gun, I was terrified. Believe me, this is the last place I want to be right now. So I'm going to say this, and then we're gonna go. The program our children are in, I've seen what it does first-hand. They pump the mutants full of drugs until they are hopelessly addicted. They're given mental conditioning so they have to do what they're told and... and then they are sent to kill everyone they love. They may be alive, but that... that's worth than death. [gets up and leaves, followed by Reed]
