So nobody votes. And anyone who does...

[Doc's shoulders tense. He continues to look pissed off.]

And if anyone does, we’ll all be dead, though.

There is no logical, sane reason to kill all of us AND them. We still don't even know if Johnson's lying about giving us the power to control America. For all we know, we'll just be his puppets to manipulate as he pleases.

Let me guess, those gas masks don't have filters, do they, Johnson?

Well, sure. I agree. There isn’t a logical reason. If this was a different group, I wouldn’t be worried.

Oh, now you're going to act high and mighty? You lot are disgusting.

What do you mean, "high and mighty"?

You didn't hear, Inteus? They tried killing me 4 on 1 when I was asking Johnson about whatever that machine was.

And if no one votes, the only person alive to vote on the rest of these rooms would be the person who betrayed everyone.

I don’t care what you think, Pam. But do you believe preventing anyone from voting is a strategy Johnson will allow? He’ll make it possible for us to vote. Feel free to refrain, if you wish. The only viable strategy is ensuring a majority of people here vote to spare them.

They told me that you were the instigator and that you tried to kill Mark, so they jumped in to stop you. Something about the CIA. I don't know who's right, I don't know how I'd ever tell.

It's not the issue right now. 5 people's lives are at risk and I care about all of them.

Nicole seems to be aptly focused on the screen

...

I don't understand.

I don't understand this at all. This whole trials purpose.

Weren't we here to decide the state of the union? At least that's what you said you kidnapped us for, Johnson. What purpose does this trial serve to further that end goal? Doesn't this seem counter-intuitive?

Are you going to believe the crazy woman drunk off her mind and Maisha, or someone who's deliberately kept to themselves and always wanted the coalition signed?

The only reason they'd want to kill me is because Mark's in the CIA.

No one votes. If no one votes, everyone lives, according to Johnson. Given what we're told, that is the best option for everyone.

I won't vote. I refuse to.

Johnson's first mistake was picking 12 people off of an internet survey. Some of us regular civilians, some of us a little more, but probably none of us with actual governing experience. But he doesn't care. He caused the country to fall apart through the assassinations, right?

N-no... why?

[His eyes are full of despair.]

What did they do... what did they do to deserve it?

I don't mean you. I mean this group of people. Who I thought I could trust to be sensible. Who I thought had some goddamn humanity in them.

There's no defending this, Johnson. Same as how there's no defending what you did. Because you're complicit, and they are too. They're no better than you.

...I’m sorry, Inteus. That doesn’t make up for anything, but I am. I wanted to escape by coalition, honestly. Joan was never going to vote to leave this place, and so I had to take matters into my own hands. I do care about humanity. That’s exactly why I decided this. I needed to make sure that I lived. I’m the only one who understands what’s necessary.

There’s nothing to say, Johnson. You know what I’m going to ask.
