T minus ten seconds to engagement.

Whoo-hoo!

- Lo-Fat’s goin' off!
- Gonna kill! Gonna kill!

Stay out of my way, geeks. Going to
the next level today. I'm a death machine.

Status: combat ready.

Situation: guerrilla units
in immediate vicinity of insertion module.

Whoo! Yeah!

Let's do this!

Bring it on! Whoo!

Look at these heart rates.

If I don't let these boys out,
they're gonna kill each other.

Four...

three...

two...

one... engage.

Whoooo!

- Do you see 'em?
- They're out there, geeks.

Looking to fry your huevos.

Call it. Retro! Call it!

Now!

Whoa! It's a total massacre out there.

Phase two, geeks!

- Ready, knuckleheads?
- Flank right!

- Flank left!
- Go!

Lo-Fat's down.

- You got me, Moxie?
- Got you covered.

- Retro's in.
- Adrenaline redline.

The bloodthirst is unquenchable.

Moxie? Who's there?

- Who are you?
- I am Maitreya.

This is my game.

Agents Mulder and Scully, FBI.
We're expected.

I need to scan your ID.

Retina scan, please.

Cool.

Ma'am?

I'll need you to look over
those nondisclosure agreements.

"To protect all proprietary
or intellectual property owned by FPS,

a private California corporation,
under the harshest penalty of law."

Signature at the bottom, please.

- FPS?
- First Person Shooter.

- Video games.
- Digital entertainment.

I can get in the Pentagon easier than this.

Dudes! Agent Mulder, what's up, wild man?

Welcome to the land
where silicon meets silicone.

Can I get you a latte from the bar
or perhaps a bottle of designer H20?

Scully?

How about a simple explanation
as to why we're here?

Take a moment just to feel
the pulse of the new American gold rush.

You're standing on the launch pad
of a rocket headed for the stars.

OK.

- There's been a little accident.
- What kind of accident?

Like an industrial accident.

How did the victim die?

- It's not exactly clear.
- Was there equipment involved?

- No.
- Yes.

Yes and no.

- What's your business here?
- Our business?

We're consultants to FPS.

Laneg did some programming for them.
He created the bad guys.

Only the Euro-goons.

We don't wanna give the idea
we're major profit participants.

Cash or stock options?

Options. Preferred rate.

Vested with a short-term exercise against
venture collateral to bypass SEC regs.

- The IPO's in a week.
- Game ships on Friday.

50 malls across the United States
and Japan.

Only there's a dead body
between you and untold riches.

I don't know about you guys
but I'd be checking my shorts for cake.

- This man's been shot.
- No.

When somebody is shot,
there's a gun involved.

That is absolutely impossible.

There's no way anybody could
ever get a gun past security.

What do you call this?

It's a laser blaster. For wasting cybertrash.

- It emits a low-frequency...
- Just let me.

The weapons feed off the FPS mainframe.
The effect is intensely real, but harmless.

You say this weapon is a toy, but this man
clearly has gunshot wounds through his...

Stun suit. See, it's rigged with paint
for wounds and kill shots.

Total bleeding-edge technology.

- He's dead. I got it.
- Who was he playing against?

Against the game. You waste
the cyberthugs before they waste you.

It's all about body count.

They're computer-generated images
running on a projector.

It all happens in the game space.

It's a total digital environment.
Nothing's real. It's all virtual.

Did anybody see what happened?

I was in the control booth with Ivan.

Retro was in the zone.
His telemetry was solid.

He looked unstoppable,
like he was on his way to the next level,

when suddenly he was cooked meat.

Well, the next call's
gonna be to the local PD.

No cops! No cops. You said no cops.
You said you had connections.

Connections or not,
you've got a murder victim here.

Just what the Wall Street money
dudes wanna read as we're going to market.

- This is Special Agent Dana Scully...
- You said you were in the control booth?

Can you tell me exactly what you saw?

I'm still not sure we even saw it.

One minute everything was perfect,
and then we crashed.

Ivan and I were sitting here.
We both just looked at each other.

It happened so fast.

Moxie's covering Retro who's going inside
to rack up beaucoup points.

And then - goosh.
Retro's vitals spike like he's been shot.

And the system defaults.

And they're right back in the game space.

- Lo-Fat! Get over here!
- What happened?

Retro?

Lights up. Game over.

What happened in there?

We don't know. There's no res images
on interior game spaces.

What about the wire frame?

Maybe I can. I'll strip down
to wire frame display.

I mean, we've never mapped
this area before.

Retro was in noncombat space.

- It's a chick.
- It can't be.

Can you texture-wrap her?

- Holy Toledo.
- She's packing a flintlock.

That ain't all she's packing.
Can you print that out for me?

Goddess.

Let me get this straight. You've got
no murder weapon, no forensic evidence,

no motive and no suspect.

Scully?

My partner. Agent Mulder.
This is Detective Lacoeur.

- Have you got something?
- Yeah. Our killer, I believe.

Hey, I'll put out an APB.

For Frederick's of Hollywood.

- Mulder, you're not serious?
- It's all in the computer.

That's any voluptuous vixen
in any number of video games.

But she's not in any video game, she's
in this one, and no one programmed her in.

Yeah, but even if they had, she's not real.

She's a character.
She's some immature hormonal fantasy.

Darryl Musashi. You see who that is?

Darryl Musashi.

As I live and breathe.

- Who's Darryl Musashi?
- The 0G. Original Guru.

He slums as a game designer
when he's not contracted to the CIA.

- The boy wonder of virtual mayhem.
- What's he doing here?

Ivan must have called him
to go in and slay the ninja babe.

Mulder, why does this game have the effect

of reducing grown men
to moony adolescents?

It's Darryl Musashi!

- Mulder?
- Huh?

Do you want me to autopsy the body?

Immersion module in descent mode.
T minus 20 seconds.

Pay attention, worms. Darryl Musashi will
show us how this is supposed to be played.

I heard he scored 90 consecutive wins
on Demon Space Drifter.

91.

Look at him. The man's a sphinx.

T minus ten...

nine... eight...

seven... six...

five... four...

three... two...

one... engage.

Hey, Byers, you gotta see this.
Mulder, get over here.

Is that him? Is that Darryl Musashi?

- Yeah, that's him.
- He just stepped into the game.

- Why is he just standing there?
- Because he knows no fear,

- Yeah!
- Unbelievable.

- Standing heart rate is 68.
- He hasn't even broken a sweat.

He's not even waiting for the reset!
He's goin' for the kill.

Aaaargh! Aaargh!

- What just happened?
- She cut off his hands.

Preliminary external examination
of deceased,

a 20-ish male, name listed only as Retro,

offers no additional clues
as to actual cause of death.

Scratch that.

Cause of death is from
a large entry wound at the sternum,

resulting in trauma to the internal organs
and blood loss.

Wound is consistent with
high-velocity impact from a large projectile

which passed through
a three-ply Kevlar jacket.

Scratch that.

Wound is the result of high-velocity impact
from an unknown object,

which even if it did enter the body
left no damn trace evidence whatsoever.

No powder burns, no chemical signatures
of any kind of explosive propellant...

- No luck?
- I thought I was onto something.

You know, Mulder, this suit holds
more than just exploding paint cells.

It measures the player's vital signs
from heart rate to extant body chemistry,

then sends that information
back to the computer.

Then when a player is shot,
a battery pack sends a 12-volt jolt

that keeps him from getting up
until the game is over.

- Virtual death.
- Yeah, well, if only that were the case.

I thought at first maybe
the suit had malfunctioned,

that one of the charges had blown inward.

But unfortunately
that wasn't the case either.

I've got a birthday coming up.

You have to admit, this is
a pretty amazing piece of technology.

Yeah, wasted on a stupid game.

Stupid?

Dressing up like hi-tech warriors to play
a futuristic version of cowboys and Indians?

What kind of moron
gets his ya-yas out like that?

Mulder, what purpose does this game serve

except to add to a culture of violence
in a country that's already out of control?

- Who says it adds to it?
- You think taking up weapons

and creating gratuitous virtual mayhem
has any redeeming value whatsoever?

I mean, that the testosterone frenzy
that it creates stops when the game does?

Well, that's rather sexist, isn't it?

Maybe the game provides
an outlet for certain impulses,

fills a void in our genetic makeup

that the civilizing effects of society
fail to provide for.

Well, that must be why men feel
the great need to blast the crap out of stuff.

Well, testosterone frenzy or no,

the only suspect we have
in this man's murder is a woman.

Yeah, I've seen it.

A computer-animated woman, Mulder,
with a computer-animated weapon.

A flintlock. Which would leave
a large entry wound.

Pictures don't kill people, Mulder.
Guns kill people.

As do swords.

The world-renowned
Darryl Musashi.

Mulder.

You're kidding.

Thanks.

LA Sheriffs Department just picked up
a female suspect for the murders.

- Who's the man?
- He's the man.

You the man with the badge.

Get the feeling these men
have something better to do?

We picked her up outside a strip club
in Reseda. Fits your description to a tee.

- Was she read her rights?
- About 500 times.

For the record,
can you state your name, please?

For the record again, my name
is Jade Blue Afterglow. I reside...

I'm sorry. Your real name?

That is my real name.
What were you expecting? Mildred?

No.

I sure seem to be upsetting
a lot of people around here.

- Well, you're not upsetting me, Miss, uh...
- Afterglow.

I sure upset the man
running the metal detector.

You say that you have
no knowledge of Ivan Martinez

or a company known as
First Person Shooter or FPS?

I meet a lot of men.

Would it surprise you to know
you have been placed at a crime scene

in the offices of FPS?

Let's just say it takes
a whole lot to surprise me.

You might wanna start telling the truth.

- And what truth am I not telling you?
- That you murdered two men.

One with a 14th-century broadsword
and the other with a flintlock pistol.

Oh.

You must have had me
confused with my sister.

Xena: Warrior Princess.

Are you denying that this is you?

- Now I get it.
- What?

The medical imaging place in Culver City.

I got paid to let them
do this body-scan thing.

They paid you to scan your body?

You think that's the strangest thing
I've been paid to do?

We're very sorry, Miss Afterglow, but, um...

We're sorry. You're free to go.

I don't know about you,
but I am feeling the great need

to blast the crap out of something.

- Hello?
- Anybody here?

Phoebe?

Hey, you OK?

Oh. I...

I must've fell asleep.

I was just gonna take a nap.

I've been up for 70 hours straight,
analyzing code, trying to fix the game.

Where is everybody? Where's Ivan?

He's with the money guys.
They're all freaking.

We need to talk to him right away
about a woman named Jade Blue Afterglow.

He scanned her body
and he created a character out of her.

He put her in the game.

What are they doing?

- The Lone Gunmen are on the floor.
- Langly and I wrote a software patch.

- We're gonna run a res-up test on the game.
- What for?

To bypass the problem.

Hey.

- What just happened?
- I don't know.

- They're in the game.
- Phoebe, are you paying attention?

You were supposed to wait
until we said we were ready!

- This is the game.
- Hey, come on!

Is anyone up there running the program?

I don't believe this. The program's
running itself. This can't be happening.

Somebody's shooting at them.

This is supposed to be
background only, no gameplay.

They need help.

Mulder?

Nine...

eight... seven...

six... five...

four... three...

two... one...

engage.

Bring it on.

- You guys OK?
- We've been better.

- Byers has been hit.
- I'm OK. It's a flesh wound. Agh!

It's her. She's out there.

She nailed Byers with that flintlock.

OK, on the count of three I'm gonna
lay down some cover, fellas. Ready?

One...

two.., three.

Mulder!

Get in the module!

- What is he doing?
- Don't go after her!

He's getting his ya-yas out.

- Mulder!
- It's suicide!

Put the sword down.

Mulder?

Oh, no.

Where's Mulder?

I said, where's Mulder? Maybe you guys
didn't hear me. Come on, guys. Where is he?

We don't know. He just took off after her.

I saw what he did. But where did he go?

- Into the building.
- He was firing his weapon.

I saw where he went!
I wanna know where he is.

Is there a door? Or an exit? Or some kind
of passageway that he could have used?

- Just the one you came in.
- He should be right here.

It's impossible. It's a digital environment.
It's just a game.

Yeah.

- Easy for you to say.
- Agent Scully!

I found him.

This monitors everyone playing the game.
There. Player four. It's his telemetry.

- What do you mean?
- Player four. That's him.

- 0n the monitor.
- Right there.

- Where?
- That's Mulder.

- He's alive.
- Those are his vitals.

- He's still in the game.
- Yes, but where's the game?

Frohike?

Langly?

Byers?

- I think that's it.
- What are you doing?

Rerouteing the circuitry.

Making a kill switch to shut down the game.

Don't touch that. It won't work.
There's no way to do that.

We are back in business.

Baby, you are dope.

What?

We were toast.
I felt the flames licking my ass.

Then the bankers
saw the letters on the autopsy. FBI.

"Cause of death: unknown."

You fixed our problems.
We're gonna be counting Franklins.

Yeah, and you're going to be counting teeth.

- Her partner's lost in the game.
- Lost?

- The game has disappeared.
- What are you talking about?

Jade Blue Afterglow. Does that ring a bell?

Jade Blue Afterglow

Oh, you'd remember her.

Hey.

Phoebe!

I don't know how it happened.

You knew about her?

Then it was you.
You scanned that woman's body.

Into my computer. She was my creation.

She was mine.

But why?

You don't know what it's like.

Day in, day out,
choking in a haze of rampant testosterone.

- I wouldn't be so sure.
- I mean, she was all I had to keep me sane.

My only way to strike back as a woman.

She was my goddess.
Everything I can never be.

But, Phoebe, she is still a killer.

I can't explain it, but she is.
You put her in that game.

No, I didn't.

I was creating my own game
in my own computer.

It was totally secret. I never told anyone.

But somehow she jumped programs
and she's feeding off the male aggression.

It's making her stronger and stronger.

I need your help.

You're the only one who can understand.

You've got to destroy her, Phoebe.

- I don't know how.
- Well, there's got to be some way.

There's got to be some vulnerability
or a weakness somewhere.

She has no weakness any more.

Hey!

I bet you think you're gonna
kick my butt up and down the block.

OK.

- Her name is Maitreya.
- Maitreya?

She's input herself into the game.
We have to download her.

We can't get online.
The system's been hijacked.

The program won't respond.

Frohike, what's wrong? What is that?

- Mulder's vitals are wiggy.
- What?

They're all over the map.

This is your fault.

- You put her here.
- Hey. No fair pickin' on a girl.

We're back online.

- There's no picture.
- We're in res-up.

No, there's something wrong.

- That's not the game.
- Yes, it is.

- It's level two.
- How did that happen?

- Where's Mulder?
- Mulder's in level one.

- No, he's right there.
- Shut the game down.

No, no, no, no. They can't.

- Well, just turn it off!
- Power down, Langly.

- It's not responding.
- We have to get him out!

Yeah, and quick.

Whoa! Stop right there!

That's not really fair, is it?

Well, that's just cheating.

Go, girl!

- She's on fire!
- The bloodthirst is unquenchable!

- Are you witnessing this?
- Oh, yeah.

- Scully's in the zone!
- Clearly.

- What's wrong?
- This is level two. It only gets harder.

No one's ever beaten level two.

- You OK?
- Ask me if I'm humiliated.

Mulder.

- It's nuts.
- They'll never make it.

How do you kill something that won't die?

- What are you doing?
- Stay out of it!

- She'll destroy it!
- It's the only way.

- Let it go. Both of you!
- You can save them?

- There's a kill command.
- It kills the whole game.

- You knew about this?
- She did too.

You said it wouldn't work.

That was to save her creation. Her goddess.

You don't care who dies
as long as your game survives.

- Our friends are in there.
- And we're not gonna let them die.

Mulder?

Give me that!
This is out of your hands now.

- We have to shut down the program.
- You're the only ones that can do it.

- They can't keep this up.
- Scully's running out of ammo.

- What's the command?
- Don't do it, Phoebe.

We're so close.

- The command?
- Give it to him.

Shift Alt "bloodbath".

Oh, my God.

We've killed the game
and Mulder and Scully along with it.

Over here!

- Scully!
- Mulder!

That's entertainment!

We came, we saw, we conquered.

And if the taste of victory is sweet,

the taste of virtual victory
is not sweet 'n low,

nor the bullets made of sugar.

Maybe out past where the imagination ends
our true natures lie,

waiting to be confronted
on their own terms.

Out where the intellect is at war
with the primitive brain.

in the hostile territory of the digital world,

where laws are silent
and rules disappear in the midst of arms.

Born in anarchy
with an unquenchable bloodthirst,

we shudder to think
what might rise up from the darkness.

I made this!
