KEVIN: (breaking down) Yes! I saw her broken body. I went insane! My hatred exploded and in an instant of grief I destroyed the Husnock!
A beat. Beverly struggles to understand Kevin.
BEVERLY: Why did you try to hide this from us? Was it out of guilt for not helping Rishon and the others when they were alive?
KEVIN: No. You don’t understand the scope of my crime. I didn’t kill just one Husnock, or a hundred, or a thousand — I killed them all. All! The mothers, the babies, all the Husnock, everywhere.
KEVIN (Cont’d): Are eleven thousand people worth fifty billion? Is the love of a woman worth the destruction of an entire species… ? This is the sin I tried so hard to keep you from learning. This is why I wanted to chase you from Rana.
A beat. Picard and Beverly understand at last. They are sympathetic, and appalled.
PICARD: We are not qualified to be your judges. We have no law to fit
your crime. You’re free to return to the planet… and to make Rishon live again.Kevin and Picard exchange a long look. Kevin nods to Picard. The room suddenly fills with the blinding light. When it is gone, so is Kevin.
Fuck yeah! I challenge you to find any episode of Judge Joe Brown where a dude goes nuts and kills, like, everyone.
