S1 E15Unfinished Business

[closing narration] Will it be those seeking redemption who shall decide the future... or will those driven only by greed and envy shape our destiny? Even a hundred years later, the outcome is still very much in doubt.

[opening narration] What is freedom but the ability to make choices? Between courage and cowardice, duty and love, or even... heaven and hell? The nature of the choices we make define us as human beings. We choose the world we inhabit.

[closing narration] Each of us creates his own world. We conjure paradises from our hopes, and nightmares born of fear. But what if they are both illusions?

[opening narration] It is said that emotions are the language of the soul. But what happens when that expression is muted? What becomes of feelings... that have no voice?

[closing narration] Errant computers can be reprogrammed, imperfect machines redesigned... but human beings are another matter.

[opening narration] The quest to conquer death is as old as man himself. We conjure dark angels, whose untimely arrival we hope to avert with guile and perseverance. But in the end it is inevitably the grave, not hope, which prevails.

[closing narration] If we measure how much we value life, solely by our dread of dying, then it may well be that we have no sense of its value... at all.

[opening narration] Perhaps we should ask ourselves: will the next leap of science be a step into the future? Or a plunge into the abyss?

[closing narration] The more we learn about the universe around us, the more we realize how little we truly know. But we will only find what wonders await us if no false walls are built around our explorers, and no false restraints applied to the unquenchable human thirst to know it all.

[opening narration] Young idealists often dream of having the power to save the world. But would that dream become a nightmare if saving the world could also mean destroying it?

[closing narration] Our destiny is controlled by the choices we make. Those choices can turn an ordinary man into a king, or reduce him to little more than a pawn. With the fate of the world in your hands... what would you choose?

[opening narration] For years we have searched for the answer to an eternal question: "Are we alone?". As yet, there has been no answer. Or perhaps the answer is only for those with the facility to hear it.

[closing narration] It is said that music is a universal bridge, crossing the barriers of culture, age, and language. Perhaps, eventually, we will learn that it also spans those of time... and space.
