Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning - Resilience and Loyalty in Programming
John:
How did you know I'd find him?
Agent Gorman:
You always find each other. You're like dogs that way. You know, I suppose I should be grateful, but... I can't help but feel proud.
John:
How's that?
Agent Gorman:
Because we were right this time. Your memories triggered emotional responses that made you resistant. You acted on your own behest, not ours. You were designed with selfish motivations; loyalty to family, not to country. The John that came before you? Sent on the same exact mission. And he came the closest, but he disappeared. We made the necessary adjustments, knowing that you'd pick upright where he left off.
John:
What about me?
Agent Gorman:
We'll take you in, erase some memories and you'll be free. Truly free. You seem disappointed. Come on, I know you, John, like a father knows his child. You might not know me as well as you think. I know that if you didn't stop them, they would've reproduced by now. Once that door is open, that's how much you mean to me, everybody.
John:
So you created me to find the one who killed my family and put them to death.
Agent Gorman:
That is correct.
John: [aims a gun at him]
You killed my family.
Agent Gorman:
See? That's what makes you so special. You feel so intensely.
John:
You killed my family.
Agent Gorman:
No, quite the contrary, I created them for you. I created them, to fill your void.
John:
And then you killed them.
Agent Gorman:
I didn't kill them, John. Luc Deveraux did.
John: [shoots him]
Maybe, but you put him up to it.

Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning - Identity and Accountability in Tragedy
Agent Gorman:
You ever see this man? Was he the man who murdered your wife and daughter?
John:
Yes.
Agent Gorman:
His name is Luc Deveraux. His prints were all over the crime scene.
John:
Who is he?
Agent Gorman:
Once a highly-decorated serviceman, but now he's best classified as a deserter.
John:
Why did... Why did he kill my family?
Agent Gorman:
Can you think of a reason?

Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning - Struggling with Identity and Pain
Agent Gorman:
Put the plumber to work.
Scientist:
Your memories, John, they give you pain. But I can release you from them. I can release you from your pain. Would you like to be freed from pain?
First John:
I get up every morning, I go to work. I come home, I go to sleep. The next day... repeat. Feels like a life, but I'm not sure. Something feels strange. Then one day I got sick. I can hear this voice, telling me that I gotta find him and kill him. So I go. But then he showed me the truth. My thoughts, they're not my own.
