The "guardians from Plato and Kant - PHIL2200

I found a clip from a pretty corny and weird sci-fi show called "The Event". I noticed that as in class we were talking about elites which may help or hurt society, this show delved into the story of a man who worked behind the scenes and tried to kill the VP as well as manipulate certain outcomes through his economic resources from various scenarios. He speaks of "taking care of mankind", painting himself as an angel, yet you see how he is willing to kill and maim for that purpose. It is implied over a series of episodes that he is older than his human body appears to be, making references to thousands of years and, in this case, breaking an ancient pot just found by an archaeologist because he knew there was a scroll inside (according to the episode, the same cave where the Dead Sea scrolls were found). Also, later in the same episode he speaks to a trained but rogue intel agent and points to the sky as he says "them" when he responds to a question of who he is protecting the world from.
