The Outer Limits (1995) · Season 1, Episode 15

Donald Finley, Cord van Owen and others in “Unfinished Business”

DFDonald Finley

You disappointed me, Cord. I had such high hopes for you.

CVCord van Owen

What are you talking about?

DFDonald Finley

Your kind. Everything about you was so damn perfect.

CVCord van Owen

What? What do you mean, our kind?

DVDana van Owen

He's crazy, Dad. Can't you see that? He's out of his mind.

[Finley briefly morphs his face, revealing himself to be an alien]

DVDana van Owen

Oh my God...!

CVCord van Owen

You came here to destroy us.

DFDonald Finley

What would be the point of that? No. I'm just here looking for some recruits. You know, "a few good men".

CVCord van Owen

Recruits?

DFDonald Finley

I come from a place where war is raging. We're always in need of fresh troops. Mercenaries, "soldiers of fortune", isn't that what you call them? We use these weapons to turn them into the ultimate killing machine. Unfortunately, some species have too high a threshold. The power they gain, the intoxication of it all, still isn't enough for them to overcome their qualms about killing, their horror at their mutation. But Logan, Logan was perfect. He revelled in it. But you? You were the real experiment. My little test of humanity. I needed to find out whether your pathetic little species understood the truth: that compassion is weakness. And like I said, you were a real disappointment.

DVDana van Owen

Why, because you wouldn't murder a man who was already on death's door?

DFDonald Finley

But... I haven't given up entirely. There have got to be more Logans out there.
