Linsey said we're in the middle of it?

173
00:11:44,585 --> 00:11:48,339
Oh, yes, the 1000-year war
of good vs. evil is well under way.

174
00:11:48,505 --> 00:11:51,463
Evil hasn't told anyone about it.
Probably why they're winning.

175
00:11:51,665 --> 00:11:54,498
By the way,
we're apparently on the wrong side.

176

- You guys are buying it?

you ever heard the term "surgical strike"?

184
00:12:24,425 --> 00:12:26,143
Ever heard of the term "appointment"?

185
00:12:26,465 --> 00:12:29,696
Illyria destroyed 11 torture units
before she found your man...

186
00:12:29,865 --> 00:12:31,856
...two troop carriers,
an ice cream truck...

187
00:12:32,105 --> 00:12:34,414
...and eight beautifully maintained lawns.

188

rendered useless to the company.

with the head office is not my priority.

You're my betrayer.

When you shattered the Window
of Orlon, you meant to change the past...

220
00:14:27,345 --> 00:14:31,133
...to rewrite your history
and the history of this body.

221
00:14:31,305 --> 00:14:34,615
And instead,
I brought back more painful memories.

222
00:14:36,305 --> 00:14:37,579
It was a failure.

223

- I wanted to bring back Fred.
- And destroy me.

229

"Betrayal" was a neutral word
in my day.

230
00:14:58,945 --> 00:15:02,176
As unjudged a word
as "water" or "breeze."

No.

232
00:15:06,505 --> 00:15:08,700
Or perhaps...

233
00:15:09,225 --> 00:15:12,501
...I am only bothered
because I am bothered.

They said they had these seer people...

was some kind of holy one.
