All right,

Super Carrie, what do you think? Psychedelic pink or sparkle?

Depends on the occasion.

Try the biggest party in the history of the universe, unless, of course, there's

life on another planet.

Can't be that great of a party. I'd be invited.

You are invited. We're all invited. And guess who's throwing it?

Who? Not telling. Let me guess. Some Hollywood flavor of the week mentioned

about six months ago and passing it some coffee beans.

No, this is not some showbiz flakazoid who says something and doesn't mean it.

And, in the highly unlikely event that he does forget, I'll use my skills as a

hypnotist to remind him. When did you become the bride of suspense?

I'm taking a hypnotism class at UCLA Extension in my spare time. Hey, maybe

can make yourself think you're a real bodyguard.

How about you, Kay? I know you want to be hypnotized.

Unleash the secrets of that quirky little noggin.

There's really not much more to me than meets the eye.

We'll see about that.

We're expecting a new client.

Don't be a draggy drag, Kay.

Just keep your eye on this thingy here, and I'm going to count backwards from

ten.

Okay.

Ten. Eight.

Nine.

I don't think this is going to work on me.

I have an extremely complicated mind.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Hi, I'm Jeffrey Roberts, and this is my wife. Hi, Mary. Hi, I'm Valerie Iron.

I'll talk to you on the phone.

Val mentioned something about your son being held against his will.

Yeah, Jason lived at the Neotech Ranch since he was four.

Sounds like a cyber petting zoo.

The Neotech Ranch is a special live -in school for gifted children.

Kids are sent there to harness their genius and use it to better humankind.

Jason designed his own solar -powered fort when he was five.

So, um, what's making your safety radar spin?

Well, we haven't heard from Jason in over three months.

Why don't you just go in and get him?

Believe us, we've tried, but they always have some excuse. He's in class or

sleeping. It's almost like it's a cult.

The millennium's closing in, and, well, without Jason around, sometimes it just

feels like the world's coming to an end.

Hey there, hot stuff.

Jason, you know I prefer Catherine.

If neotech were a normal school, I'd send you to the principal for a comment

like that.

Yeah, well, genius has its privileges.

I guess it does.

How's the video game coming?

Do you need anything?

Well, a case of Mountain Dew and a subscription to Playboy wouldn't hurt.

look into the Mountain Dew.

If you promise you'll clean your room before the century is over.

That's three days away.

So what are you doing this Millennium Eve?

I'll probably check out a movie or something.

How about you?

I'd really like to celebrate it with my parents.

They still haven't called?

I'm sure they will.

I've decided to shut the program down.

He's working night and day.

He's becoming obsessed. I don't care how much the government contract is worth.

You'll devastate him.

The game is all he has.

He died.

It's almost finished.

Who are we fooling here?

We both know that this is not really a game.

And in the wrong hands, this could bring about the end of the world as we know

it.

I was just a girl working at a hot dog stand when a movie star asked me out on

date. I happened to save his life, and so in order to save Ace, he told

everybody that I'm a professional bodyguard.

Which, of course, I am not. Trust me. So then I was asked to be a figurehead at

a bodyguard agency, and they said I'd never have to use any weapons or be in

games. And I always am.

Cakewalk. What's your definition of a cakewalk?

They have a computer -controlled security system.

So? Get on your lap, dog, and shut the puppy down.

Laptop.

And I can't from here. Everything is controlled from that automated security

converter.

Nikki? We can handle it. Fine.

But we still can't find Jason without hooking up with an internal computer and

even then... What?

I don't know. There's something about this place.

Can't quite put my finger on it.

It doesn't matter. We need to send somebody inside undercover.

How? The place is crying with computer nerds.

So, Mr. Long, how long have you been a reporter for hypothalamus today?

Just under three years.

I see here you won a silver medal in the Olympics for the women's luge team.

And I see you do your research.

Well, you'd be surprised what people would do to get a glimpse of our

right down to creating fake identities.

Now, who would do a thing like that?

Well, someone pretty naive to think that they could put one over on us.

You see, Mr. Long, we at Neotech pride ourselves.

on being one of the world's finest think tanks.

We don't have to bid on government jobs.

They come directly to us.

It's not fun without the explosion.

Shouldn't you check on that?

No, it's just a security check. My people are looking into it.

Now, where were we?

Are you okay?

Can I get some water, please? Yes, of course. Just sit right over here. You

sit right there. I'll be right back.

This way.

Can't talk right now, Danny.

Hey, you don't belong here.

99.

Time to split up.

I'm in Sector 113.

I'm in Sector 112.

Okay, I found a strip.

Head down the first corridor on the right.

Okay,

I'll double back and catch up to you.

I think the door is stuck.

Hello.

Are they serving up grub? Because I just hit a fork.

Which way, Kay?

I don't know.

The computer doesn't show a score.

Kay.

Who left him down the stairs?

How do you know?

I'm not sure.

Who are you?

A friend.

I think you went to the next room. I didn't order any friends.

Come on. Someone who loves you wants to see you.

Catherine? Who?

Kids today.

No respect for their elders.

Enter the security system.

How does it feel?

to pick up some other time.

Why are you here?

For you.

Really? I've heard so much about you and your brain.

I must confess, Mr. Fisher, I have a thing for intelligent men.

Do you have a PhD?

Here.

Security, my office on the double.

Don't be offended.

I'm gay.

Story of my life.

Who wants a Cokey?

Mind if I smoke?

Right here.

like the fuchsia.

Can we get out of here? Should I think, babe?

Oh, my God.

Jason. What happened? Will he be okay?

Just a little sleeping gas. Nothing to worry about.

The effects should wear off soon.

You don't know how much this means to us. How can we ever thank you guys? No

problem. Just doing our job.

Thank you so much.

Thank you. Thank you.

We're good.

And that's why we get paid the kick -ass part.

Mm -hmm.

What do you think?

This one?

Or this one?

Val, we're expecting a client any minute.

Well, they're not here yet.

This millennium party is very important to me. It only happens once every

thousand years or so.

Nice work, ladies.

Tasha Dexter, VIP.

Hi. My associate.

Quick Williams.

Good to meet you. How can we help you?

But you have to help us rescue our son. We didn't know who else to turn to.

This is him. Our son Jason. He lives at Neotech.

This is like deja vu all over again.

These are Jason's parents.

Who did we give Jason to?

I thought you vetted Mary and Jeff.

I did.

I guess they're as good at faking it as I am.

I can't even imagine what Val's telling Ward and June over there.

It's on Auntie Val. So why don't you two skedaddle and don't worry about a

thing. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Thanks. Bye.

Bye.

Thank you. Jack needed to say. We already broke in and gave their child to

of their family.

But they already paid us for the job.

With a fake bank account.

Oh. Okay, pull up Jeff and Mary's images from our video surveillance camera and

see if we can't find a match in the FBI database.

I

just

saw this giant snowflake.

The same thing happened at Neotech. Oh, my God.

What if I totally screwed up your brain when I hypnotized you? You know, if you

hypnotize somebody wrong, you can scar them for life.

Check this out.

Found it in a chopper.

Must have fallen out of Dennis and Madison's pocket.

I think it's just a video game.

I've seen maybe field tape that are less sophisticated than that.

Behind door number two, nothing.

The computer couldn't find a map.

Wait a second.

Do you guys remember that bad weave on Mary?

I swear I could see tracks.

Okay? And she was wearing tons of makeup. She wears more than me.

Yeah, lose the retro granny glasses.

Yeah, and make her lips small enough. Collagen.

Okay, we're done playing Mr. Potato Head.

It matches.

That's her.

And that's definitely Jeff. It says her.

That they're part of a doomsday cult known as the Millennium Militia.

So what's the link to Jason?

What? Neotech handles government contracts, right?

Okay, so I've got a friend in the CIA.

A?

Maybe.

Anyway, I'm going to go see Enrique and find out what this video game is all

about.

Look who's away.

Hey there, champ.

Where am I?

Faith and found.

Catherine.

Where's Catherine?

I don't think you want to see her.

Catherine hired those bad people to stop you from finishing your game.

Milk and cookies?

What do you guys want?

We want you to finish your game.

You see all this?

It's all for you.

We've managed to get you a backup copy of that program.

Do my parents know that I'm here?

Of course they do.

Didn't they want to see me?

Uh -huh. It's just that now's not a good time.

No, no. I want to see them. Hey, sure, champ, sure.

We can take you back to them today instead of Saturday.

We can return all this equipment, right, Mary?

Oh, absolutely.

As long as Jason didn't touch anything.

Let me just check on the receipts.

Great. Because if Jason doesn't want to finish the game, he doesn't have to.

Wait, you said Saturday, right?

Yeah, that's right.

Well, I'm almost finished with the game.

What's another day or two?

Walking back into the belly of the beast, you must be either very clever or

stupid. If you must know, a little bit of both.

We're here because we need your help.

What you need is a good lawyer.

Sure. We could always tell them that you have kids here all day just playing

video games. I mean, that is not exactly good parenting.

I have a fine contract from every parent. They get a percentage of all...

do you want from us?

We think the Millennium Militia was after something Jason was working on.

Maybe we should have a look around.

So, Enrique, is the CIA still as much fun as I remember?

You're only after my information, aren't you?

That and I missed you.

We had some good times together in Afghanistan.

It can be very rewarding working undercover.

But this time we don't have those big guns to worry about.

Well, that's not entirely true.

The kid's game's a detailed simulation engine. It outlines various attack

scenarios.

That's all I can say.

Have a drink, Enrique. Relax.

What were those attack scenarios you were talking about?

That's classified.

So are these.

The game's called APOC.

Apocalyptic Precision Ordnance Computer.

They usually can take down an entire city with only a handful of people.

You attack a few vulnerable points.

Power plants.

Water supply.

Who is the CIA targeting?

I've already told you more than I should.

You were saying?

It was designed as a defensive exercise.

Figure out what the terrorists can do so we can stop it.

Why set the games in Los Angeles?

You shut down L .A., you shut down the entire Pacific Rim.

Stark warrants deployment all over the world.

Total global chaos.

Sodium pentothal.

Was this good for you as it was for me?

It took three minutes too long.

It's the best I can do with so few men hitting five takedown points.

Then find a way to do it using only four takedown points.

It's just a game. I know. I know. Just have it finished by New Year's Eve.

Okay?

I'm going to scare him.

That's what it takes to get it right.

Look, don't do it.

You better.

All hope abandoned, ye who enter in.

I've been here before.

Flashbacks are so weird.

I hope I'm okay.

Don't worry, everything will be fine. You think? I'm positive.

Looks like conversation is a dead -off for him.

Shh.

Now, if you have any questions, just give me a call, okay?

I promise.

You must think he was supposed to be getting to me. I've got to go.

I'll e -mail you real soon.

Jason's going to call you real soon, Mr. and Mrs. Roberts.

Bye, Mom.

My parents say hi.

Jason's due, too, the real ones.

Oh.

Did you ask them why you're tripping over Neotech?

Well, I'm not crazy.

Seems I was enrolled at Neotech when I was seven, but I got picked on a lot by

the other kids.

I was so traumatized, my parents showed up one visiting day and whisked me away.

No wonder they never mentioned it.

Well, the important thing is you remember it.

And my hypnotism helped open the door. My mom said the girl in my flashback was

named Kitty Johnson.

I kind of remember her.

Hey, Tosh, your black ops connection give you what you needed?

We didn't quite get that far.

But I was right about the game.

It was designed to shut down the city and visit the entire world.

If what we know about the militia is right, they're going to strike before

new millennium. Wait a second, that's tomorrow.

You guys, we have to find Jason.

We're not going to miss the party to end all parties.

You have taken down the entire city of Los Angeles with only four teams of

terrorists.

Congratulations.

How's it going?

Fine.

Finished by tomorrow, I hope.

What if I said no?

You saw how upset Jeff was earlier, didn't you?

I just wouldn't want to see anything bad happen to you, Jason.

Well, I promised Catherine that I'd only show it to her.

There's nothing else.

I'm going to go home.

What have we done?

Our job.

I thought it was our job to help our government keep the country safe.

Any technology can be a weapon in the wrong hands.

Maybe I should call the police.

There's nothing they can do.

There's nothing anyone can do.

And I just laugh and get away with it too.

Like you do.

If I was beautiful like you, I would never be

a boy.

I remember my parents picking me up at Neotech, but that is all I remember.

How can you be someplace without remembering it? Well, one time I went to

Macy's grand opening, and I could have sworn...

That I was there before.

Well, all Macy's look alike.

Yeah, but I went to hypnosis and I found out that I had been there before. It

used to be a Bloomingdale's.

That's nice.

You know what?

You need deep, regressive hypnosis.

Just like me.

I want you to relax and listen to the soothing,

tranquil harmonies of the aquatic environment.

How do you feel?

A little seasick.

Do you know what that means?

I'm going to throw up?

No, it's working. You're really underwater. Okay.

Now I want you to picture yourself swimming with a whale.

Forget that.

You're swimming with a really hot guy.

Are you thinking about... Leonardo DiCaprio?

Ow, too skinny. Think about Antonio Zabato Jr.

No, he is not my type at all.

Well, you definitely don't want to think about someone you hate.

Someone you hate.

I said you'd only give the finished game to Catherine.

Here she is.

No, Jason.

You're just going to take it from me.

What I say or she dies.

This will shut down Los Angeles and only four takedown points.

That's a good boy.

It's over your head.

You won't be able to do it without some sort of supercomputer.

Supercomputer, huh?

Just the one in mind. You told you.

Nothing to worry about.

Catherine has been at Neotech all these years, or if she came back.

Can we stick to saving the world's butt?

I'm trying.

Well, no matter how Jason does it, one of the points is the main power plant in

L .A.

I'm on it like lube on a chassis.

They also have to take down the traffic computer, which is located... Ew.

Under the sewer system.

Taking me back to my old KGB days.

And the third point is the water supply. Time to plug a leak.

What could pen people possibly do to shut down an entire city?

I'll tell you what shuts me down.

A day when I forget to charge my cell phone battery.

That's it.

Total communications breakdown.

Not just cell phones, but TV, radio.

Police and armed forces emergency channels?

You know, if you could take control of a satellite, you could block all

communication signals. Very smart, Val.

Thank you, thank you. More than just a figurehead.

They would need access to a supercomputer to do that.

Where would they find a supercomputer?

That's it.

Fertilizer bomb.

You said that you had left behind your favorite hair clip, not that you wanted

access to our Veritel computer.

Well, if we don't see that super -duper computer of yours, that 99 -cent hair

clip I bought won't be worth what I paid for it. There are only four people at

this company that have access to the Veritel computer.

Is Catherine one of them? She knows nothing about it.

How well do you really know Catherine?

I'm tied off.

One more.

Done.

Jeff, the traffic computer has been taken down.

little camper, and face your fear.

Come on.

Go ahead and set the charge.

Ready to detonate.

We got one more.

You guys already killed the keg?

Come on.

Jason's video game is running through the computer.

And I'm here to make sure it stays that way.

You don't remember me, do you?

Kate Simmons?

We were here together.

Kate Simmons.

Poofy hair and glasses, right?

Yeah.

That's me.

Crybaby Kay.

Now that's what I call fun.

Jason did such a good job.

The other strike points are just icing on the cake.

Your team's efforts won't blow us down.

Just like when we were kids, Kay.

Didn't have what it takes then.

Don't have what it takes now.

Okay, apparently you and Kay have some issues. I really think you should

reconsider destroying the planet because I happen to know a lot of really great

party goers who don't want you to ruin the world.

What are you talking about?

You are going to ruin the Millennium Party of the Century.

We'll see about that.

Really mean to me as a kid. Well, somebody needed to toughen you up.

Hey, you know, I hate to interrupt the union from now, but we've got to fix

computer thingy.

I'll talk you through it.

The world's going down.

You're going with it.

Damn,

that's terrible.

Functioning normally.

Wow, you really did it.

Holy shit.

All right, come on.

This way.

There you go. Inside.

Head down.

I just wanted...

to compare notes with you.

He spent weeks trying to figure out the fourth takedown point.

I got it in less than a day.

Booker Dano.

Let's go.

Mom! Dad!

Hey, Ben.

Thank you so much.

Don't you love family reunion?

Well,

Once again, the city of Los Angeles owes you a great debt.

The city?

Sorry, the whole world.

Now, you know, if there's ever anything you need, you just let me know.

Well, you know what, Grif?

We're kind of late for an appointment way across town, like in Holby Hill.

How about an escort?

Okay.

Go in a hurry. They've got to go to Holby Hill. Come on.

one that didn't want to be late just give me a look like a playlist here i'm

really stupid if we're not invited to this thing for the hundredth time we're

totally invited

I thought you were the valet. I've been getting that all night.

He's wearing the same tuxedo.

Hi, guys.

How you doing, Mr. Hefner? Hello, Mr.

Hefner. Pleasure.

My pleasure.

So what are you doing out here?

I'm out to see the fireworks.

Thank you very much.
