The Gifted · Season 1, Episode 15

John, Marcos and others in “Unfinished Business”

We need to decide what to do.

As far as I'm concerned, the psychics are a non-starter.

Because their tactics make you uncomfortable?

Uncomfortable? They murdered a dozen people without even blinking! We don't know the first thing about them!

We do know one thing about them. They saved our asses.

They saved themselves, and pulled us right into an all-out war with Sentinel Services.

Congress could declare martial law.

So? They didn't need martial law when they killed my foster parents.

Exactly. Why should we fight with one hand tied behind our backs? We need all the allies we can get! Do you want to cling to your ideals or do you want to survive?

We can't just chuck our principles because it's convenient! You know, the X-Men chose us for a reason, and it's not because we can kill. If we wanted to kill people, we would've done it a thousand times already, but we didn't! We have to be better than that. Now, we need to take out the Hound program, and we will, Lorna, but we have to do it our way.
