THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH || 1.10 ‘THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD’
Thorn Oil now holds the majority stake in OriGen... The CIA can’t touch it anymore. And Thorn belongs to me. Control of both companies is being transferred to Justin Falls and Hatch Flood... I need to lift off and land without being shot out of the sky. And the Antheans will need asylum. All of them.
Then I’m putting the three of you in a hole forever. It doesn’t matter that you control Thorn. We do what we want, so it’s all ours now. And if your friends show up, they’re going in our version of foster care.

Drew: You weren’t banking on my humanity, were you?
Faraday: Of course not. I’m banking on your greed. In 12 hours the specs and algorithm for quantum fusion will be released on the internet. Everyone, everywhere on Earth, will have it. For free.
Drew: Oh, don’t be ridiculous.
Faraday: The design has already been distributed across 117,000 servers on a timed release in data centers all over the world. I can stop it, or release it, at any time, from anywhere.]

THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH || 1.05 ‘MOONAGE DAYDREAM’
After the accident I was, uh, researching an alternative, more stable fuel source. I wrote an equation to use hydrogen-boron in place of tritium. But this equation, we’d have to find a way to simplify it, which I’ve never done, because no computer can handle it.
[Image Description: Seven stacked gifs from The Man Who Fell to Earth.
Justin: So essentially, the one thing I could never solve is pretty much our only hope.
Faraday: You imagined all this from nothing.
Justin, shrugging: Yeah.
Faraday: You are extraordinary.
Justin, flustered: What?]

THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH || 1.07 ‘CRACKED ACTOR’
We have a clean fuel source.
Is that verifiable?
Yes, all of it.
Why am I here? Okay. Somehow you found the money to build it. And now, the money wants to steal it back? Sit on it? Weaponize it? Put you in a dark hole?
[Image Description: Ten stacked gifs from The Man Who Fell to Earth.
Faraday and Justin have agreed to meet with Penny Morgan to get public attention about their fuel source.
Penny: And you think by telling your story, it’ll protect it.
Faraday: You’re a dinosaur.
Penny: Excuse me?
Faraday: It’s a good thing. Justin has a child who quite brilliantly announced that everyone on Earth is either an alien or a dinosaur.
Penny writes notes as Faraday talks.
Faraday: If you’re a dinosaur, you’ve been on the planet for a long, long time. Lived many lives. You are wise, very tough, you know the terrain, you know how to survive.
Penny smiles as she continues taking notes.
Faraday: An alien essentially just arrived, doesn’t have any of that. But, uh, does have perspective.
Penny: And you are?
Justin turns to Faraday.
Faraday: An alien.
Penny smiles.]

THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH || 1.07 ‘CRACKED ACTOR’
An adept could have figured this out much faster. Why did you send for a drone? Why did you send for me?
I knew you’d flourish.
[Image Description: Seven stacked gifs from The Man Who Fell to Earth.
Faraday: You believed in me?
Thomas turns towards Faraday.
Thomas: Yeah, but fuck off. This isn’t poignant. For the record, I’ve also started believing in the Easter Bunny. Rabbits bring chocolate to resurrected children or something. It’s beyond comprehension and I’m a fucking genius.
Thomas comes closer to Faraday.
Thomas: You should never have been a drone. They put you in the wrong category.]
