[the officers bringing Scott down in handcuffs stop in front of Charlie, so they can have a chat]
Scott Reynolds : What do you want?
Charlie Eppes : I'm trying to figure out how you could kill a man, how you could kill a fellow scientist, to steal his work.
Scott Reynolds : Is that why you think I killed Dr. Hoke? For the money?
Charlie Eppes : You weren't jealous of his accomplishments.
Scott Reynolds : His accomplishments... is that what you call them? I grew up in West Oakland. Anyone I grew up with who isn't dead or in prison is flipping burgers or driving a truck. Now it's not too difficult to guess what Dr. Hoke's formula would have said about putting a computer lab in my high school. A computer lab saved my life, and next year it's gonna save somebody else's.
Charlie Eppes : And killing Dr. Hoke accomplishes that? You think it stops there.
Scott Reynolds : In the last century, the Nazis used the theory of eugenics to stop the poor from reproducing. Eventually they justified just killing the sick ones.
Charlie Eppes : You can't compare that to this...
Scott Reynolds : Actually that's a perfect comparison, cause what Jonas was doing was taking away a person's chance at life. It was taking away someone's hope. And I did what I had to do to stop that before it started.
Charlie Eppes : That makes you a murderer.
[They regard each other for a moment]
Scott Reynolds : Don't you ever wonder about your own work?
Charlie Eppes : What about my work.
Scott Reynolds : Well, you consult for the NSA don't you?
[Charlie grits his teeth, noncommittal, but Scott presses on]
Scott Reynolds : Ah, of course you do. So you're gonna tell me that everything you do will be used for good, all the time?
Charlie Eppes : What's your point?
Scott Reynolds : Well, you're asking me how I'm gonna live with myself. Look in the mirror. Ask yourself the same question.
[the officers take Scott away as he and Charlie exchange one final look]
