Legion

Legion S03E08 "Chapter 27"

Lessons in time travel,

chapter zero.

Who we were does not dictate

who we will be.

But often...

it's a pretty good indication.

Time travel does not give one

the opportunity to change oneself.

But rather,

to eradicate oneself...

...and allow something else to form

in the wake of what once was.

And in this is a sort of grace...

...or madness.

Your turn.

It's okay.

I'm gonna fix this.

It'll all be over soon.

To the death.

Because if we don't believe

in change...

...then we don't believe in time.

I like this.

What?

Us.

You.

I simply can't quit you, my dear.

Nor would you want me to, I suspect.

This is...

My Farouk.

The parasite in my skull.

Such a pleasure to see you again, Charles.

It's been quite some time.

You deceived me.

I came here in good faith.

You broke my boy.

Your boy has always been broken, I'm told.

Now I know you.

David.

The victim.

A boy pretending to be a man.

Always blaming others.

Boo-hoo.

David, per...

I suppose...

this makes us dance partners.

Does it not?

Go, go, go.

Go.

Kerry!

Kerry...

Kerry.

Oh, Mother, Grandmother.

It's come at last, the sickness.

No!

-Behind you! -Where?

They're everywhere-everywhere.

So many. Too many.

We have to get out of this house.

Come on.

Okay.

Cary, what do we do?

Cary.

Spaghetti.

My brain is full of spaghetti.

What is happening? What is happening?

The world's ending.

My world ended a long time ago.

-I can't think. I... -Yes, you can.

Cary.

I...

They consume time, yes?

So, theoretically, were someone to have

twice the temporal identity,

then that someone would be twice as difficult to consume.

Like...

like a loaf of bread with two times as much yeast.

-Or... -So you want us to bake bread?

Yeah, no. No, I...

I have an idea.

It may not stop them,

but it will certainly confuse them.

Together.

One more time.

I see it now.

You're gods.

I wish.

Kerry.

Oh, I love my job.

David, whatever you're doing, do it faster.

Your problem is you think

this fight is one-on-one.

You against me.

But I'm not alone. I am Legion.

We all share one thing...

Monster, monster,

monster, monster, monster, monster...

Monster, monster, monster, monster!

We hate you.

Monster.

Such a disappointment.

We can make anything we fancy

in this arena of infinite promise,

and this is what we come up with?

Weapons? War?

Surely we have more imagination than that.

How are we doing?

I can't talk. Killing.

Kerry? Is something wrong?

Kerry?

No.

Nothing at all.

Do you know why you have failed?

Because under all your anger...

there is a baby.

Scared, small.

Given away by his mother

and father.

A baby who is unloved,

and knows that he's unloved.

I'm a good person.

I deserve love.

No, you don't.

My boy.

My beautiful boy.

Time to die.

I've lived in your son's mind for 32 years.

I saw what he saw, I felt what he felt,

I thought what he thought.

And over time, what was once a prison became a person.

It's hard to hate someone you understand.

I love the boy, Charles.

I consider him, uh, my...

Son?

Would that I could be as strong a father as you are.

But alas, it's not in my nature.

-May I be honest with you? -Please.

The man you met, the man I was,

he brought you here with base intentions.

To dominate, to punish.

Not because he was strong, because he was weak.

I was weak.

Now I'm older and weary of this churn.

We call it...

I did not come here to defeat David,

but to aid him in his quest.

What I'm trying to say is... I have changed.

-Well, then I have a proposition for you. -Hmm.

Kerry?

I don't feel so good.

It's nothing. It's just a little arthritis. We're still deadly.

I-I'm scared. - I don't want to die.

There is no glory

like the glory of one last battle.

Please, Father,

before we go, there's one more thing I must do.

David.

Stop!

I had him!

-Yes, I saw the blood. -What did you think,

-I was gonna kill him with words? -David, stop.

Listen to me, please.

I see you. I do.

You're trapped in a war that you didn't start. This is my fault.

I did this. You never had a chance because of me.

What... what are you saying?
