"That's what's shooting at us?" "Yes." "It stands for Zero Emotional Defects." "A secret offshoot of the Yale program." "It was halted in the planning stage." "You mean they're human?" "They were at one point." "Criminals, not unlike myself." "The program stripped them of all emotional capabilities." "This time, tutors weren't enough." "They wanted super soldiers." "Fourteen officers died training 10 or 12 prototypes." "Do you know of any way to stop them?" "ZEDs are ruthless." "They have no emotions whatsoever." "They are considered unstoppable." "Used in the mining province uprisings... on Earth in late 2180." "Three ZED units quelled an entire province, killing hundreds of mine workers in days." "The incendiary worm bullet became their signature." "It seeks a body's extremities for impact, then works its way to the torso during the interrogation stage."

"That's the best I can do." "That gives us 50 minutes." "If he drove the rail, he had to go south." "At least it's a start." " Why?" " The way he dotes on those vehicles?" "He would choose the smoothest route possible, and every other direction there's rocks and ruts." "All right, where then?" "High ground is where the ZED had to be to hit Yale and Alonzo." "[ Beeping ] Well, that narrows it to about three square klicks." "We'd need a day to search that big an area." "Does anybody else see something wrong with this picture?" "I mean, a bullet that waits an hour to kill somebody?" "What is that?" "[ Walman ] It's sick. [ Bess ] Yale said they were sociopathic." " "That's why they were sent here. "" " Well, maybe." "But you just don't build a bullet that drills through the body, and then explodes after an hour unless you have some reason." "Can I see the map?" "Okay, ifhe's" "The more you move, the faster the bullet moves through you." "You should hold still." "I will if you will." "I can't." "What do you want?" "Only this." "A sample of your blood." "[ Yelling ]" "I need your name." "Why?" "To label the sample." "[ Gasping ]" "Who are you?" "Do you see it hurts less when you stop moving?" "Oh, it still hurts plenty." "That's because the bullet slows, but it doesn't stop." "It will keep traveling to your abdomen and detonate one hour after impact." "Unless I make it stop." "So make it stop." "It's simple." "You obey, otherwise very soon you will die." "[ Breathing Heavily ] Okay." "Okay." "John Danziger." "That's it." "That's all you're gonna get out of me." "Anything else, you make this bullet stop."

"No way the Council would hand out firepower like that to a penal colonist." "[ Yelling ]" "That will be all." "[ Groaning ]" "You will answer all questions put to you."

"Does this thing work for the Council?" "I don't know." "I don't know who works for who anymore." "What about Reilly?" "Ifhe was hiding the connection, he might be hiding something else." "Maybe this thing has some kind of weakness." "No, he wouldn't admit the connection." "Even if he did, he wouldn't tell you how to kill it." "I think I have a way." "You're not gonna like this." "Heller." "He shot the boy, and he's still got him." " Damn it, that's impossible." " Well, you tell that to the kid." "But you got 42 minutes." "You better hurry." "The ZED would not shoot the boy, not while a larger target was still available." "Well, then I wonder who's lying here." "You told me the ZEDs were sent here like the penal colonists." "How did they acquire weapons?" "Why are their weapons designed to torture before they kill?" "They stole the weapons from my men." "Delayed detonator rounds are standard issue to a counterinsurgency force." "Let me put it to you this way, Reilly." "You're gonna lose the boy." "You tell me how to stop the ZED, or you're gonna lose your chance to control the planet." "You've got 42 minutes." "What's it gonna be?"

"And I don't care what you do with the ZED, the boy is mine." "You deliver him, or you will die running." "Am I clear?" "I've got three Mag-Pros." "I don't think we should kill him." "What the hell was that conversation all about?" "We needed to find his soft spot." "We don't have to put a bullet there." "Are you nuts?" "This thing is a walking warhead." "I've seen plagues less lethal than him." "Julia's right." "If we get the drop on him, we can sedate him, and then he can lead us to Reilly." "I'm gonna get my equipment."
