- Quotes
King Vesper Abaddon: You got yourself here; it's time to change - or die. You have to learn to live without air, and for you air is adoration.
King Silas Benjamin: Oh, is it wrong to seek the opinion of the people?
King Vesper Abaddon: Of course it is; you're the best thing for them, and they don't know it. That's right - what would they have without Silas?
King Silas Benjamin: You.
King Vesper Abaddon: You see? They owe you; stop trying to win their approval. It is better to be feared than loved - necessary. Maybe you once brought your country into a new day, but that day is done; now, you rule by night.

King Silas Benjamin: My son...
King Vesper Abaddon: Hang 'im.
King Silas Benjamin: My peace...
King Vesper Abaddon: You wanna give Gath the land, do it. Those for, plant in front of the cameras; those against, plant in the dirt.
King Silas Benjamin: That simple?
King Vesper Abaddon: Don't hide it - let the sun dapple the whole damn mess. And anyone still plotting against you will do it slipping in a blood puddle.
King Silas Benjamin: I'm trying to win my people back, not get them to hate me more; they already think me a tyrant.
King Vesper Abaddon: I know you, Silas, better than anyone. My worst enemy - now, my only friend. You're no tyrant... but you could be - if you tried.
[cut to William conferring with his son Andrew]
King Silas Benjamin: And Shepherd?
King Vesper Abaddon: You need to kill him - and soon.
King Silas Benjamin: He's watched over. How do you kill someone whom God protects?
King Vesper Abaddon: Easy - with a bullet.
