Adam Sutler's final broadcast, played on 5 television sets, about justice and enemies.

It also shows no one is listening to him anymore and he's lost power because of the empty seats.

Those caught tonight in violation of curfew will be considered in league with our enemy and prosecuted as a terrorist without leniency or exception. Tonight, I give you my most solemn vow: that justice will be swift, it will be righteous, and it will be without mercy.
