YOU CAN'T TAKE

THE CHYRON CHIP AWAY FROM ME.

IT IS MY IDEA,

MY DESIGN, MY PATENT.

DR. TRACE, YOU HAVE TO DEFEND YOUR PATENT

FOR THE CHYRON CHIP.

THE INVESTORS HAVE FINANCED THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHIP.

BY LAW, IF THEY CAN'T BE REPAID,

THE PATENT BELONGS TO THEM.

YOU CAN'T GIVE IT TO THEM.

THEY WILL POLLUTE THE VISION

OF EVERYTHING

MY CHYRON CHIP STANDS FOR.

HERE'S AN OPENING.

LET'S BREAK ON IN! BREAK IT IN!

WE'VE GOT A LIVE ONE OVER HERE.

GET THE GURNEY.

GURNEY OUT.

WE HAVE TO REPAIR THIS SHATTERED MAXILLARY FRACTURE,

OR WE'RE GONNA LOSE HIM.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET THIS DAMN ARTERY CLAMPED OFF.

WE'RE LOSING THE VITAL SIGNS.

GET ME RD 40.

HEART STOPPED. WE NEED THE DEFIBRILLATOR.

CLEAR.

1, 2, 3.

[DEFIBRILLATOR BLASTS]

PATIENT IS A MALE, LATE 20s.

MULTIPLE AMPUTEE,

SMOKE LESIONS ON THE LUNGS,

AND THIRD-DEGREE BURNS

OVER 80% OF HIS BODY.

TRANSFER FROM COUNTY?

MM-HMM. THEY AMPUTATED BOTH OF HIS LEGS

AND RECONSTRUCTED HIS FACE.

WELL, WHAT'S THE VERDICT?

IT'S HARD TO TELL.

THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT PATHWAYS

FOR THE INTERFACE.

ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.

HELLO, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

PETER PETER PUMPKIN EATER.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

IT MEANS HE CAN HEAR US.

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

WHAT YOUR IS NAME?

Both: PETER PETER PUMPKIN EATER.

MAYBE HIS NAME'S PETER.

[SIGHS] I'LL TRY THIS.

[TYPING] HAD A WIFE...

BUT COULDN'T KEEP HER.

HAD A WIFE, BUT COULDN'T KEEP HER.

JOBE.

HELLO, JOBE.

JOBE...

TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF.

EMPTY SPACE.

IT'S ALL JUST EMPTY SPACE INSIDE.

LIKE IT'S BEEN ERASED.

I WANT YOU TO TRY AND VISUALIZE

ALL THE PEOPLE AND PLACES

THAT YOU'VE HAD CONTACT WITH IN YOUR LIFE.

JUST RELAX

AND LET THE IMAGES COME TO YOU.

JOBE. HEY, JOBE.

HI, PETER.

LOOK WHAT I GOT.

IS THAT THE NEW COSMIC MAN?

YEAH.

IT'S GREAT.

WOW. THANKS, BUDDY.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOBE. MAKE A WISH.

[GIGGLES]

EXCUSE ME.

JOBE...

I'M JONATHON WALKER.

I, UH, RUN THIS PLACE.

I NOW OWN THE PATENT TO THE CHYRON CHIP,

AND YOU CAN BUILD THE CHIP FOR ME.

[HYPERVENTILATING]

JOBE, THERE'S NOTHING

TO BE AFRAID OF.

VIRTUAL REALITY

WILL REHABILITATE YOUR MIND

AND EVENTUALLY YOUR BODY.

YOU'LL BE ALL RIGHT. I PROMISE.

JUST CONCENTRATE, OK?

WE'LL TRY SOME MUSIC.

NO. SORRY.

HEY, JONATHAN!

Woman: GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES AND REPENT!

MAN DESTROYS MAN! SAVE YOURSELF BEFORE THE END!

SAVE YOURSELF BEFORE THE END!

GET DOWN AND PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS

BEFORE THE FIRE AND THE DESTRUCTION!

[BEEPING]

THANK YOU.

YOUR VIDEOPHONE ACCESS CODE IS APPROVED.

[GIGGLING]

YEAH!

OH, THAT WAS AWESOME.

HERE. LET ME SEE.

COOL.

HERE.

AAH!

TRAVIS!

CRAP.

MAN, ARE YOU OK?

MAN, ARE YOU CRAZY, PETER?

YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T HURT ME.

WHAT'S UP, SIS?

HOW LONG, TRAVIS?

RIGHT NOW. DID YOU GET IT?

ASK PETER.

JUST SHOULDER SURFED IT ON THE WAY OVER.

OH, MY GOD.

YOU'RE A SAINT. THANK YOU.

COME ON, LET'S GO INSIDE.

Peter: LET'S DO IT.

Travis: I'VE GOT US PATCHED

INTO THE FIBER OPTICS.

YOU'VE GOT THE ACCESS CODE?

MAN, WE'RE SET.

WHAT'S UP, SHAWN?

HEY. WHAT'S UP, TRAVIS?

HOW ABOUT A TASTE

OF REMOTE PRESENCE, MY FRIENDS?

ALL HOOKED UP AND READY TO GO.

ALL RIGHT! HEY, LET'S USE THE CYBERCYCLES DISK.

NO WAY, MAN. I'M FLYING.

I AM FLYING, MAN.

HEY, ME, TOO.

Shawn: I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ALL DAY.

[BEEP]

PLEASE ENTER VIDEOPHONE ACCESS CODE.

TRAP-DOOR ACCESS TO CYBERSPACE GRANTED.

YEAH!

PLEASE STAND BY FOR ENTRY.

[INDISTINCT VOICES]

HEY, PETER, WHAT'S HAPPENING?

AAH! AAH!

Shawn: WHAT'S GOING ON?

[ARTILLERY FIRING]

WHAT HAPPENED?

WHO'S DOING THIS?

[BARKS]

SHAWN, THE CYBERCYCLES.

YEAH.

HARVEY.

HARVEY, PUT IN THE CYBERCYCLE DISK.

HARVEY, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

PUT IN THE CYBERCYCLE DISK NOW!

[WHIMPERS] [BEEPING]

NO ONE JACKS OUT

TILL WE FIND WHO'S DOING THIS.

JOBE?

YOU'RE ALIVE.

HOW CAN THAT BE?

THERE ISN'T TIME, PETER.

I NEED YOUR HELP. I'M DYING.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, DYING?

THE CYBERSCAPE IS DYING,

AND SO AM I, RIGHT ALONG WITH IT.

I'M TRAPPED HERE, PETER.

YOU'VE GOT TO HELP ME.

I--I DON'T GET IT.

I NEED YOU TO FIND SOMEONE FOR ME.

BENJAMIN TRACE.

WHAT?

DR. BENJAMIN TRACE.

HE'S IN SECLUSION SOMEWHERE.

YOU'VE GOT TO BRING HIM, PETER.

WHEN THE CYBERSCAPE DIES, SO DO I.

WHAT IF HE WON'T JACK IN?

TELL HIM I'M BUILDING HIS CHYRON CHIP,

AND I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE EGYPT LINK

TO COMPLETE IT.

NO!

WARNING.

PETER! PETER!

I DON'T THINK HE'S BREATHING.

WHAT DO WE DO?

UM, LET'S TRY CPR.

HURRY UP. WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.

1-1,000, 2-1,000, 3-1,000,

4-1,000, 5-1,000. BREATHE!

BREATHE, PETER. BREATHE.

1-1,000, 2-1,000, 3-1,000, 4-1,000, 5-1,000.

BREATHE! IT'S NOT WORKING!

ALL RIGHT, ONE MORE TIME.

COME ON, PETER. BREATHE.

1-1,000, 2-1,000, 3-1,000, 4-1,000.

[COUGHING]

ALL RIGHT. COME ON. GET UP. YOU OK?

IF YOU KNEW YOU WERE IN DANGER,

YOU SHOULD HAVE JACKED OUT, YOU JERK!

THAT WAS THE MOST REMARKABLE EXAMPLE OF TELEPRESENCE

I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED.

ALL PERSONNEL, CLEAR THE FLOOR.

V.I.P. ARRIVING.

ALL PERSONNEL, CLEAR THE FLOOR.

V.I.P. ARRIVING.

ALL PERSONNEL, CLEAR THE FLOOR.

V.I.P. ARRIVING.

I WANT TO TALK TO HALLOWAY PERSON TO PERSON.

I DON'T WANT ANY OTHER NONSENSE AROUND THAT.

WELL, SENATOR GREENSPAN.

HOW WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

WELCOME TO

THE VIRTUAL LIGHT INSTITUTE.

THANK YOU.

I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU

TO MY HEAD OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT,

DR. CORI PLATT.

NICE TO SEE YOU, SENATOR.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

AND THIS IS JENNIFER.

PLEASE COME WITH ME, SENATOR.

SENATOR...

VIRTUAL LIGHT.

UNTIL NOW, NO ONE HAS HAD THE ABILITY

TO CREATE AN ENTIRE COMPUTER NETWORK

BASED WITHIN VIRTUAL REALITY.

OF COURSE, WHEN I COMPLETE

MY VIRTUAL LIGHT UPLINK,

I'LL RENDER ALL OTHER SYSTEMS OBSOLETE.

VIRTUAL REALITY HAS EVOLVED

FROM A SIMULATION TO AN ACTUAL PLACE.

WATCH YOUR HEAD. THOSE MONITORS WILL KILL YOU.

SO, IT'S LIKE A WHOLE NEW WORLD OUT THERE.

AHA. FULL OF INTERESTING POSSIBILITIES.

EXACTLY. WE--

I LOVE A MAN THAT DOES HIS HOMEWORK.

DON'T YOU, DOCTOR?

BUT, SENATOR, WHAT'S HOLDING US BACK

IS FINAL CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL OF OUR LICENSE.

AH. AND THIS...

AH, YES. THIS MUST BE THE FAMOUS CHYRON CHIP

THAT EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT.

THE KEY TO MY VIRTUAL LIGHT UPLINK.

HMM.

Platt: SINCE THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY

HAS LEFT PEOPLE FEELING ISOLATED

FROM THEIR FELLOW MAN,

THE VIRTUAL LIGHT INSTITUTE

WILL BRING CULTURES AND RESOURCES TOGETHER

IN ONE CONTINUOUS VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT.

AND THIS IS OUR MAIN CONTROL ROOM,

HUB OF ALL OUR OPERATIONS HERE AT VIRTUAL LIGHT.

I'M STILL A LITTLE UNCLEAR

AS TO HOW ALL THIS FITS TOGETHER.

WELL, I'M SURE DR. PLATT WILL ENLIGHTEN YOU.

JENNIFER, PLEASE.

THE OUTER CIRCLE REPRESENTS THE REAL WORLD.

THE INNER ONE, VIRTUAL REALITY.

THE SPOKES ARE THE DIFFERENT PATHWAYS BETWEEN THE TWO.

THE CHYRON CHIP WILL OPEN UP THESE PATHWAYS SIMULTANEOUSLY,

SO A NETWORK BASED INSIDE VR CAN BE ACCESSED BY EVERYONE.

UH-HUH.

SO, NEXT MIRACLE.

Platt: PLEASE.

JENNIFER.

WHEN YOU HOOK INTO THE LIBRARY

OF MY VIRTUAL CITY,

YOU'LL HOOK INTO EVERY LIBRARY

IN THE WORLD.

AND ULTIMATELY,

THE CHIP WILL BRING EVERYTHING ONLINE FOR EVERYONE.

WELL, YES, IT'S VERY PRETTY, JONATHON,

BUT I THINK WE'D BE PLACING

QUITE A CONCENTRATION OF POWER IN YOUR LAP.

HMM. MY LAP IS YOUR LAP, SENATOR.

[TAPPING]

TWINKIE.

HOW DID IT GO?

WALKER MAKES ME FEEL

LIKE THE STAR POODLE IN HIS DOG SHOW.

AT LEAST YOU GET TOP BILLING.

NO. WALKER ALWAYS GETS TOP BILLING.

OF COURSE, HE DIDN'T MENTION THE FACT

THAT IT'S YOU

COMPLETING THE CHYRON CHIP

AND DESIGNING THE VIRTUAL CITY.

I DON'T MIND.

I CARE HOW OTHER PEOPLE SEE YOU,

HOW THEY PERCEIVE YOU.

THAT'S YOUR WORLD, DR. PLATT, NOT MINE.

MY WORLD IS IN HERE.

OUT THERE, PEOPLE LOOK AT ME

AND THEY SEE HALF A PERSON.

BUT IN HERE, THEY SEE WHAT I WANT THEM TO SEE...

HOW I REALLY AM.

HERE.

I DON'T SEE HALF A PERSON, JOBE.

THAT'S YOUR WORLD.

GOOD NIGHT, JOBE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

YOU SURE DON'T LOOK LIKE

THE FATHER OF VIRTUAL REALITY TO ME.

WHAT?

YOU'RE DR. BENJAMIN TRACE, RIGHT?

HE'S DEAD.

DEAD?

THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY SAID ON THE INTERNET.

ON THE INTERNET, THEY SAID HE WAS, LIKE, LIVING HERE.

THE BENJAMIN TRACE YOU WANT IS...

RESTING IN PEACE.

SO I SUGGEST YOU GET ON

THAT COOL BIKE OF YOURS AND...

GO ON HOME.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT JOBE WAS THINKING.

HE'S JUST CRAZY.

TRIPPY FOOL INVENTED SOME KIND OF CHYRON CHIP.

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

CHYRON CHIP.

COME INSIDE.

SO, WHAT'S YOUR NAME, KID?

PETER...DOC.

CALL ME TRACE.

TRACE.

WELL, PETER, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALL HERE,

ALL THE ANSWERS--

IN THE EARTH, IN THE WATER,

AND IN THE AIR.

YEAH.

THE REASON I CAME IS BECAUSE

MY FRIEND JOBE IS DYING, AND HE SAID THAT

YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD SAVE HIM.

YOU SEEM A BIT YOUNG TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE CHYRON CHIP.

WELL, JOBE TOLD ME ABOUT IT.

WHO'S JOBE?

HE WAS OUR LAWNMOWER MAN

BACK WHEN MY MOM WAS STILL ALIVE.

AND HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND,

BUT NOW HE'S STUCK IN VIRTUAL REALITY.

WHAT DOES HE KNOW ABOUT IT?

HE'S BUILDING IT.

HE'S BUILDING IT?

YEAH. THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.

SO ARE YOU GONNA HELP OR WHAT?

I DON'T LIVE THAT LIFE ANYMORE, PETER.

ALL THAT TECHNOLOGY, IT JUST...

CONSUMES THE SOUL.

CHECK THIS OUT.

I NEED YOUR HELP.

YOU CAN FIND ME

AT THE THIRD STREET STATION, TUNNEL 11,

IF YOU EVER CHANGE YOUR MIND.

[DISK FAST-FORWARDING]

DR. BENJAMIN TRACE.

ONLY HE CAN STOP THIS.

WHAT IF HE WON'T JACK IN?

TELL HIM I'M BUILDING HIS CHYRON CHIP.

ATTENTION, PASSENGERS--

ALL METRO BLUE LINE TRAINS HAVE BEEN CANCELED

DUE TO FLOODING.

Woman: HUSTLE, YOU GUYS.

THEY WANT US OUT OF HERE.

Man: HEY, COME INSIDE!

Man: YOU GOT 50, MAN?

MY DOG DOES NOT STINK.

YES, HE DOES, SHAWN.

THE FUNK IS BURNING MY EYES.

IT DOES NOT STINK.

I LOOKED AT HIM, AND I ALMOST WENT BLIND.

IT DOES NOT.

WE ALL KNOW HARV USED TO BE A POODLE.

HE LOOKS LIKE A CHIHUAHUA ON STEROIDS!

[POUNDING ON DOOR] WHO IS IT?

PETER?

TRACE?

HI.

YOU KNOW THIS GUY, PETER?

BACK OFF, GUYS. THIS IS THE GUY

JOBE TOLD ME ABOUT, ALL RIGHT?

YOU ALL LIVE DOWN HERE?

OH, NO. THIS IS JUST OUR SUMMER COTTAGE.

I LOVE YOUR VENTILATION SYSTEM.

LISTEN, I THINK THIS GUY CAN HELP US, OK?

ADULTS HAVE BETRAYED ME MY WHOLE LIFE.

YOU KNOW THAT, PETER.

YEAH!

HEY, HEY, HEY.

LOOK, TRAVIS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRUST HIM.

YOU JUST GOT TO TRUST PETER.

YEAH!

SO YOU'RE THE EINSTEIN OF VR?

I'LL TAKE THAT AS A COMPLIMENT, TRAVIS.

YOU KNOW, EINSTEIN MADE A FEW MISTAKES HIMSELF.

WHAT ARE THESE?

MAN, YOU MUST REALLY BE A DINOSAUR.

SEE THE ELECTROPLATES ON THE SIDES?

THEY HIT YOUR TEMPLE

AND TAP INTO CERTAIN NEURONS,

GIVING YOU FULL NEUROSENSORY INVOLVEMENT.

YOU CAN ACTUALLY FEEL?

EXACTLY.

SEE, THAT'S WHY WE GOT TO SAVE JOBE, THOUGH.

BECAUSE IT'S REAL IN THERE.

IF HE DIES IN THERE, HE'S GONNA DIE OUT HERE.

YOU SURE JOBE NEEDS SAVING?

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY?

JOBE WOULDN'T LIE TO ME.

HE'S NOT THAT TYPE OF PERSON.

YOU SAID YOU COULDN'T TRUST ANY ADULT.

HE'S NOT LIKE YOU. I MEAN, HE'S LIKE A KID.

AT LEAST HE WAS UNTIL...

UNTIL WHAT?

UNTIL MY NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR

DID SOME EXPERIMENTS WITH HIM IN VR

AND TURNED HIM FROM A SIMPLETON INTO A GENIUS.

LOOK, WE'RE WASTING TIME. YOU CAN ASK HIM YOURSELF IN VR.

READY?

YEAH. LET'S HOOK IT UP. LET'S DO IT.

OK.

DOC, HERE'S YOUR STUFF.

OH, I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO VR.

WHY NOT?

I'M NOT READY.

IT'S, UH... I DON'T KNOW.

SCARED I MIGHT GET LOST OR SOMETHING.

FINE. I'LL GO IN.

OK.

[BEEPING]

10, 9, 8, 7...

TRAP-DOOR ACCESS TO CYBERSPACE GRANTED.

PLEASE STAND BY FOR ENTRY.

ONE.

[CAWING]

WELCOME TO MY WORLD, PETER.

YOU BRING THE GOOD DOCTOR?

NO. HE'S WATCHING. HE WON'T JACK IN.

JACK IN, JACK OFF.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

SCARED OF THE BOOGEYMAN, DOCTOR?

YOU COULD AT LEAST HUMOR ME

WITH A POINT OF VIEW, CAN'T YOU?

IT'S A PLEASURE TO FINALLY MEET YOU, DOCTOR.

I FEEL LIKE WE'RE ALMOST--

I'M BLUSHING--

FAMILY.

HA HA. I DON'T THINK SO, JOBE.

DON'T BE SO SURE.

INCEST--THE GAME THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN PLAY!

"MY BROTHER'S MY DADDY!"

WE HAVE A LOT IN COMMON, DR. TRACE.

WE'RE BOTH UNWANTED, UNDERAPPRECIATED,

AND AHEAD OF OUR TIME.

YET THE DIFFERENCE IS, YOUR TIME WAS THEN.

MY TIME IS NOW.

IT'S A SHORT RIDE, JOBE.

ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN.

OH, I PLAN TO ENJOY IT FOR A VERY LONG TIME, DOCTOR.

YOU SEE, I FOUND THE SECRET TO IMMORTALITY

IN THE CHYRON CHIP.

WHERE IS THE CHYRON CHIP?

COME WITH ME NOW, WON'T YOU?

THERE SHE IS!

MISS CHYRON CHIP!

IT'S TAKEN YEARS OF WORK,

BUT OUR CHYRON CHIP IS FINALLY A REALITY.

[SINGING THEME TO JAWS]

LOOK WHAT I'M DOING, DOCTOR.

ISN'T IT AMAZING?

YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU'RE IN DANGER.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

EGYPT.

COME ON, DON'T HOLD BACK ON ME.

IT'S A HIDDEN NANO-ROUTINE

ENCODED INTO THE DESIGN OF THE CHYRON CHIP.

I'M NOT GOING TO HELP YOU.

TELL YOU WHAT-- YOU SHARE EGYPT WITH ME,

AND I'LL SHARE WITH YOU TECHNOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE

BEYOND YOUR WILDEST DREAMS.

THIS IS YOUR WORLD, TOO, DOCTOR.

YOUR WORK HELPED CREATE IT.

MY WORK IS TO BUILD IT.

NOW, TELL ME, DOCTOR, WHAT DOES EGYPT MEAN?

I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU.

YOU'RE INSANE.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ITS POWER, JOBE.

OH, BUT I DO, DOCTOR. AND IN THREE DAYS,

I'LL BE IN EVERY SYSTEM IN THE WORLD.

NO.

TELL ME WHAT EGYPT MEANS, DOCTOR,

BEFORE I GET REALLY FUCKING PISSED OFF!

GET OUT OF THERE, PETER.

PETER, GET OUT OF THERE!

GET HIM OUT OF THERE! PETER!

Shawn: THIS IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL!

I'VE NEVER SEEN JOBE LIKE THAT BEFORE!

PETER! THIS WAY!

Shawn: HARVEY, COME BACK!

Peter: THERE'S AN EXIT AT THE END!

FORGET ABOUT THAT DOG, SHAWN!

COME ON UP! YES!

ALL RIGHT! IT'S OPEN!

AAH!

SHAWN, LET'S GO! COME ON!

COME ON, SHAWN!

I CAN'T GET UP! I CAN'T LEAVE HARVEY HERE.

COME ON, SHAWN!

UHH!

COME ON, TRACE, PULL! GET OUT OF THERE!

GOOD BOY.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE! IT'S GOING TO BLOW!

[JADE SCREAMING]

AAH!

MAN.

LEVEL 5 TECHNICIAN TO ROBOTICS, DIVISION 2.

CHANDARA TO QUALITY CONTROL.

NOW LET'S DEAL WITH THE TRUE BELIEVERS.

SHOW ME ALL THE CONTRIBUTORS

TO FUNDAMENTAL WORLD RELIGIONS

OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS.

AND EACH USER THINKS THAT THEY HAVE TOTAL PRIVACY.

EVERY TIME ANYONE LOGS ON

TO VIRTUAL LIGHT UPLINK,

WE'LL KNOW EVERY GODDAMN THING ABOUT THEM.

NOW, SHOW ME ALL HYPOCRITICAL DEMOCRATS

MAKING OVER 300,000 A YEAR.

THAT TRAIN WAS NO ACCIDENT, WAS IT?

NOT A CHANCE.

MAN, NOW WE'VE LOST OUR HOME AND THE CYBERSCAPE.

Peter: I BET JOBE DID IT,

SO HE CAN BUILD HIS CITY.

LIKE THIS WORLD DIDN'T SUCK ENOUGH ALREADY.

I THINK THAT'S JUST A TASTE

OF WHAT HE CAN DO IF HE GOES ONLINE.

IT CAN'T GET ANY WORSE.

I MEAN, WHAT'S WITH THIS EGYPT THING, DOC?

I MEAN, DOESN'T HE NEED THAT FROM YOU?

IF JOBE'S WORRIED ABOUT EGYPT,

IT MEANS HE'S ABOUT TO USE THAT CHIP

TO ITS FULL HIDEOUS POTENTIAL.

WHICH IS?

ENTER EVERY AND ANY SYSTEM IN THE WORLD

AND TAKE OVER THROUGH VR.

SO IS THERE ANY WAY TO STOP HIM,

OR SHOULD WE JUST START DIGGING UP OUR OWN GRAVES?

WE'VE GOT TO GET

THE CHYRON CHIP FROM HIM

BEFORE HE FIGURES OUT EGYPT.

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE GOT TO DO.

Jade: FEDERAL LIBRARY?

Peter: WE CAN USE THEIR COMPUTERS

TO TRACK DOWN JOBE, TO FIND THE CHIP.

THAT'S RIGHT, PETER.

YOU ARE ILLEGALLY PARKED.

JADE?

INITIATE IMAGE REGENERATION.

YOU'VE GOT TO HELP ME.

ISN'T THAT JUST LIKE A RECORDING?

NO. WE'VE GOT TO STRIP AWAY THE LAYERS

WITHIN THE PROGRAM,

DISCOVER WHO THE SOFTWARE THAT JOBE USED

TO ENTER VR WAS LICENSED TO.

WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM.

I CAN'T GET PAST THE MEMORY LOCK

TO ISOLATE THE CHAIN.

SIMPLE. JUST ENHANCE THE MEMORY INDEX.

WHAT HAVE WE GOT HERE?

ACTUALIZE DATA.

POINT 5.

HERE WE GO.

EXECUTE WORM FUNCTION.

GET 'EM.

ENHANCE.

REDIMENSIONALIZE VARIABLES.

TA-DA!

ALL WE HAVE TO DO NOW

IS ACCESS DATATRONIC SYSTEMS.

I'M RIGHT WITH YOU, DOC.

OK.

THERE'S OUR REGISTERED OWNER--PLATT.

I'M ACCESSING

PHONE LISTINGS...NOW.

OK, WE'VE GOT 43 PLATTS.

SEE IF YOU'VE GOT A CORI PLATT.

C-O-R-I.

NO CORI, BUT WE'VE GOT THREE C. PLATTS.

ONE'S A Ph.D.

BRING UP THE DOCTOR.

WHOA!

SHE...

Peter: HEY, TRACE, PULL OVER.

Jade: AREN'T WE GOING TO DR. PLATT'S APARTMENT?

YEAH, BUT FIRST WE GOT TO GET A TRACKER,

SO SHE CAN LEAD US TO THE CHIP.

IT'S LOCKED.

SO, HOW ARE THEY GONNA DO THIS?

NO PROBLEM. MY BROTHER CAN HANDLE IT.

REALLY?

HE'S GREAT AT THIS KIND OF STUFF.

[ALARM SOUNDS]

Peter: IT'S UNLOCKED.

Travis: LET'S GO SHOPPING!

UNAUTHORIZED CONTACT.

STAND BACK FROM THE GATE.

WELL, THE EXTRA DAY

I GOT GREENSPAN TO STAY WAS USELESS.

THAT LIBERAL IDIOT IS ON HIS WAY BACK

TO WASHINGTON RIGHT NOW

TO RECOMMEND THAT THEY RESCIND OUR LICENSE

HI. YOU HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ME?

NOT FOR LACK OF TRYING.

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

FINE, BEN. WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU...

ABOUT JOBE.

HE'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK HE IS.

NEITHER WERE YOU.

HE'S VERY DANGEROUS, CORI.

HARDLY.

AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINK

YOU CAN JUST SHOW UP HERE

AND ENTERTAIN A CONVERSATION WITH ME?

PLEASE. I KNOW YOU'RE ANGRY.

YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE.

I'M NOT ANGRY. I'M LEAVING.

OK, HAS JOBE USED UP ALL THE MEMORY IN YOUR SYSTEM?

EVERY PRINTED WORD, THOUGHT,

AND DEED IN HUMAN HISTORY

COULDN'T BEGIN TO FILL

THE TYPE OF MEMORY WE'RE USING.

BECAUSE OF MY CHYRON CHIP.

I HEARD YOU DESERTED THAT PROJECT,

JUST LIKE YOU DID US.

I'M SORRY YOU LOST THE PATENT.

I DON'T WANT PITY, CORI. I WANT THE CHIP.

AND YOU WANT ME TO HELP YOU GET IT. FORGET IT!

YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT JOBE IS UP TO.

DON'T PATRONIZE ME, TRACE.

I'M NOT YOUR STUDENT ANYMORE.

HE TRIED TO KILL ME, CORI.

YOU MUSTN'T LET HIM GO ONLINE.

CHECK HIS DATA FILE!

YOU'LL BE SURPRISED AT WHAT YOU FIND THERE.

HEY, HOW ARE WE DOING?

COOL. THE TRACKER'S WORKING.

Peter: THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE TO BREAK INTO

TO GET THE CHIP?

Trace: GOT ANY IDEAS?

WE COULD HAVE JADE TAP INTO

THE COUNTY ENGINEERING AND PULL UP

THE BLUEPRINTS ON THAT PLACE.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

YOU'RE CLEVERER THAN YOU LOOK.

THANKS.

WHERE'S DAVID?

I DON'T KNOW. HE WAS JUST HERE.

MA'AM.

DAVID? YES, MA'AM?

TAKE THAT DOWN TO THE MAILROOM.

RIGHT AWAY.

ARTHUR, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN

GOING AT IT FOR HOURS.

WALKER'S ORDERS.

YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING ON THIS PROJECT

WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION.

CAN I SPEAK WITH YOU FOR A MOMENT?

WHAT?

I DO TAKE MY RESPONSIBILITIES

JUST AS SERIOUSLY AS YOU DO, YOU KNOW.

YOU DO YOUR JOB AND LET ME DO MINE.

WHAT EXACTLY IS YOUR JOB?

Arthur: CORI, WE GOT A PROBLEM.

WHAT?

ALL AVAILABLE MEMORY CAPACITY

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

I KNOW THAT.

WHAT IS GOING ON?

I DIDN'T AUTHORIZE THIS EQUIPMENT.

JOBE, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MEMORY?

I FORGET.

WALKER'S BEHIND SCHEDULE.

WE'RE NOT BEHIND SCHEDULE.

HE'S LOSING MONEY, AND HE WANTS JOBE

WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK

ON THE VIRTUAL LIGHT.

I'M NOT GOING TO DISCUSS THIS WITH YOU.

HE'S GOING ONLINE TOMORROW.

OH, REALLY?

MR. WALKER.

MR. WALKER!

MR. WALKER!

I THINK YOU'VE MADE A MISTAKE, DOCTOR.

NO. I THINK YOU'VE MADE A MISTAKE.

WHY WASN'T I NOTIFIED THAT YOU INTENDED

TO PUT JOBE ONLINE TOMORROW?

WELL, YOU'RE JUST A SCIENTIST.

[UNZIPS ZIPPER]

I'M THE BUSINESSMAN.

AND JOBE IS A HUMAN BEING.

JOBE IS A PART OF THIS PROJECT,

A SUPREMELY IMPORTANT PART.

AND EVERY DAY THAT VIRTUAL LIGHT GOES UNFINISHED

IS COSTING ME MILLIONS IN POTENTIAL REVENUE.

HE'S SHOWING SIGNS OF INSTABILITIES.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT HIM.

[LAUGHS]

WELL, THE MAN IS

AT A DISTINCT DISADVANTAGE.

[ZIPS ZIPPER]

YOU HAVE BEEN PROFITING

OFF THIS MAN'S MISERY FOR YEARS.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU POSTPONED

HIS PROSTHETIC LEGS?

WELL, I COULDN'T HAVE HIM

GOOD NIGHT, HENRY.

GOOD NIGHT.

AAH! OH, GOD!

OHH...

OH, MY GOD, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

DID I HURT YOU?

OH, YEAH. WE'RE OK, MA'AM.

WE'LL BE JUST FINE.

WHOA, WAIT, WAIT! LET ME...HELP YOU.

[GASPS] ME AGAIN.

I WAS RIGHT, WASN'T I?

JOBE'S EXPANDING HIS MEMORY BASE.

GET OUT OF THE CAR.

CORI.

[BEEPING]

AH, GOOD. I CAUGHT YOU.

A GUARD REPORTED SEEING YOU

IN MY OFFICE THIS EVENING.

NOW, SURELY YOU COULD HAVE COME UP

WITH A BETTER EXCUSE THAN PRODUCTION CHARTS.

NO, NO, NO, NO. JOBE IS GOING ONLINE TOMORROW,

SO I WANTED TO DELIVER THEM TO YOU MYSELF.

I SEE. WELL...

GOOD.

BE SURE TO GET SOME REST.

WE'VE GOT A BIG DAY TOMORROW.

YOU'RE WORKING FOR JONATHON WALKER?

HE'S THE ONE THAT STOLE MY PATENT?

HE DIDN'T EXACTLY STEAL IT.

HE WAS ONE OF THE INVESTORS

THAT TOOK ME TO COURT.

GET OUT OF THE CAR.

I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE MEMORY BASE.

I'M RIGHT ABOUT JOBE.

I DON'T THINK YOU AND WALKER UNDERSTAND

THE POWER YOU'RE DEALING WITH.

GET OUT.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THAN THIS, CORI.

YOU STOLE A GUN?

NO, MAN. IT'S A CAMERA.

CHECK IT OUT.

COOL.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S DO IT.

[GUARDS CHATTER]

Guard: YEAH, HE DID.

EXECUTE VIRTUAL SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM LOOP.

YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE.

A COOLANT TEST WILL BE RUN

ON LEVELS 8 THROUGH 10 AT 0300 HOURS.

THANK YOU.

YES!

LIEUTENANT MARTIN TO SECURITY.

LIEUTENANT MARTIN TO SECURITY.

SUBLEVEL 4.

THEY HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THOSE TUBES

HAVE TO BE HELI-ARCED ABOUT 3 INCHES WIDE.

GUESS THEY DON'T REALIZE THAT

THAT ALUMINUM TUBING IS ABOUT 8 MILLIMETERS THICK.

Trace, whispering: That's a special laser alarm,

sensitive to anything above

0 degrees centigrade.

Come. I've got an idea.

[BEEP]

YEAH, IT'S DR. PLATT.

I SEEM TO HAVE LEFT MY KEY CARD IN THE LAB.

OH, YES, DOCTOR. I'M SORRY.

WE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS YOU.

THANK YOU.

YOU READY?

I DON'T THINK SO.

THIS ISN'T ONE OF YOUR BEST IDEAS.

I WOULDN'T TRUST ANYBODY ELSE.

YOU CAN DO IT.

STAY STEADY NOW.

GO ON. STEADY.

GRAB IT.

GRAB IT!

[WATER DRIPS]

STEADY.

[ALARM SOUNDING]

HA HA HA!

WHO IS IT?

HA HA HA!

HA HA HA!

HA HA HA!

AAH!

Platt: TRACE!

HA HA HA!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

HE'LL KILL THEM!

HENRY!

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?

Man: STOP!

BY THE WAY, WHO ARE YOU?

STOP!

[GUARDS CHATTER]

Guard: CUT THEM OFF!

CLEAR!

Peter: TRACE!

HALT!

SEALING OFF SECTOR 4.

SECTOR 4 SECURED.

WANT THE CHIP?

PUT YOUR GUNS DOWN.

PUT THEM DOWN, OR I'LL SMASH IT.

PUT THEM DOWN NOW!

SLIDE THEM FORWARD.

UHH!

PETER! CATCH!

TRACE!

[GRUNTING]

TRACE!

PETER!

TRACE!

GET OUT OF HERE. GET!

AAH!

TRACE?

TRACE! COME ON!

YOU HAVE THE CARD?

[BEEP]

WHAT NOW? HERE.

WHERE?

GO ON. GO.

WHERE? GO.

OH!

GO!

WHOA!

UHH!

WHOA!

AAH!

YEAH!

AAH!

[TRACE COUGHS]

WHY DID I LET YOU BACK INTO MY LIFE?

YOU FIND ME IRRESISTIBLE.

YOU GOT THE CHIP?

GOOD WORK.

HA HA.

YOU'RE BLEEDING.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Man: YEAH.

Woman: YES, SIR.

[SNIFFS] WHAT IS THAT?

IT'S NOTHING. JUST SOME DIRT.

BRING IT TO ME.

GET THAT DIRT, YOU IDIOTS!

YES, SIR.

TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRT.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND?

SHUT UP.

I NEED TO STOP THIS BLEEDING,

AND I'LL BE DAMNED IF I USE MY SHIRT TO DO IT.

DO I KNOW YOU GUYS?

OW. OW.

I KNOW I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY, CORI.

YOU COULD SAY THAT.

DO YOU MIND?

NO, NO. OH, NO. NO.

YEAH. PRETEND WE'RE NOT HERE.

OK.

SO APOLOGIZE.

I'M SORRY, CORI.

I REALLY AM.

MM-HMM.

I DIDN'T WANT TO SEE ANYBODY.

I WAS TOO AMBITIOUS.

I WAS NAIVE. I WAS--

YOU WERE STUPID.

THAT, TOO.

THANKS FOR THE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

YOU'RE WELCOME FOR THE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

[CHUCKLES]

HEY, RACE TO THE TOP OF THE HILL.

NOT ME.

HEY, I WONDER IF THERE ARE ANY SNAKES OVER HERE.

[BEEPING]

PRETTY NEAT, HUH?

IT'S INCREDIBLE.

SEE HOW THEY WERE ABLE TO BYPASS

THE CAPABILITY PROTECTION REGISTERS?

I KNOW. IT'S AMAZING.

IT MAKES ME WONDER

IF I COULD HAVE EVER FINISHED IT MYSELF.

THE CHIP WAS SUPPOSED TO

MAKE THINGS BETTER FOR THEM, WASN'T IT?

IRONIC.

STILL, MAYBE IT COULD.

WHAT DID HE DO HERE?

THAT'S WHERE JOBE MERGED THE NANO-MATCHING HARDWARE.

HE COULDN'T HAVE.

THERE'S NO TRANSMATRIX.

YES, THERE IS.

THERE ISN'T.

LOOK.

SOMETHING'S WRONG.

IT SHOULD BE THERE.

SO, YOU LOST THE CHIP.

YOU IDIOT.

DO YOU HONESTLY THINK

I'D ENTRUST SOMETHING THAT IMPORTANT TO YOU?

VOILà.

BUT...

PEOPLE WANT A SHOW.

AND NOW THAT JOBE HAS SOLVED THE EGYPT LINK,

THE CHIP CAN BE ACTIVATED.

NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT.

ANY PROGRESS?

JOBE IS TRACKING DOWN THE INTRUDERS

BY ANALYZING THE DIRT SAMPLE WE FOUND.

GOOD.

AND YOU ARE INGENIOUS.

YES, I KNOW.

I THINK IT'S TIME WE CALLED THE PRESIDENT.

TRY TO GET VIRTUAL LIGHT EUROPE.

WHERE?

ANYWHERE.

UPLINK, ENGLAND,

VIRTUAL LIGHT.

NOTHING.

GREETINGS, MR. PRESIDENT.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US

ON THIS MOMENTOUS OCCASION.

I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE.

I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR

ABOUT SENATOR GREENSPAN'S DREADFUL ACCIDENT.

MMM, YES.

I KNOW HOW MUCH HE WANTED TO BE A PART

OF WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE TODAY.

BUT LA VIE CONTINUE.

WE'LL BE JOINED BY HUNDREDS OF OTHER PROMINENT PEOPLE

WHO WILL BE JACKING IN FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY,

SO IF YOU'RE READY, DON YOUR EYEPHONES,

AND...WE CAN BEGIN.

I'M--

JUST RELAX.

[CROWD CHEERING]

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

WELCOME TO VIRTUAL LIGHT.

WE STAND IN THE FACE

OF A NEW AGE.

THE FUTURE IS ONE WORLD,

ONE THOUGHT,

ONE MIND.

BEHOLD.

THE FUTURE...

IS NOW.

YEAH!

OOH!

12 HOURS TO GLOBAL INTERFACE.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING AFRICAN LANGUAGE]

[SPEAKING GERMAN]

[NO AUDIO]

Jobe: IT'S ALL TAKEN CARE OF.

THE FOREIGN MARKETPLACE WILL BE SECURE

ONLY WHEN THEY PLACE THEIR MONEY IN YOUR HANDS.

EXCELLENT WORK, JOBE.

IT'S ALREADY STARTED TO HAPPEN.

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

IT MEANS THAT JOBE MUST HAVE FIGURED

A WAY AROUND EGYPT.

AND HE'S USING THE CHIP

TO ENTER EVERY SYSTEM AND PROGRAM AROUND THE WORLD,

REPLACING IT WITH HIMSELF.

IT TAKES ABOUT 12 HOURS FOR THE INTERFACE TO COMPLETE.

ONCE COMPLETE, IT'S IRREVERSIBLE.

WALKER'S GOING TO STOP HIM.

ARE YOU CRAZY?

WHO DO YOU THINK IS DOING THIS WITH HIM?

WALKER'S A BUSINESSMAN,

AND JOBE IS BAD FOR BUSINESS.

[BEEPING]

COME ON.

WELL! WHAT A SURPRISE.

I DIDN'T EXPECT TO HEAR FROM YOU SO SOON, DOCTOR.

YOU'VE GOT TO STOP JOBE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

TOO LATE?

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR SENSE OF LOYALTY, CORI?

YOU WOULDN'T KNOW

THE MEANING OF THE WORD, WALKER.

IS THAT DR. BENJAMIN TRACE?

LISTEN, WALKER,

YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE JOBE OFF-LINE IMMEDIATELY.

WELL, YOU SEE, DOCTOR, I WOULD LOVE TO ACCOMMODATE YOU--

I REALLY WOULD--

BUT THAT'S NOT AN OPTION I CAN EXERCISE RIGHT NOW.

LISTEN TO ME, YOU STUPID BASTARD.

IF YOU DO NOT TAKE HIM OFF-LINE,

YOU WILL HAVE NO OPTIONS!

NO ONE WILL.

ARE YOU THREATENING ME, DOCTOR?

NO, I'M NOT.

JOBE IS.

JOBE IS A LOYAL EMPLOYEE OF THIS COMPANY.

I TRUST HIM WITH MY LIFE.

WELL, YOU'D BETTER,

BECAUSE YOU JUST GAVE IT TO HIM.

TIME TO GET RID OF SOME PESKY LITTLE ROACHES.

STOP.

BACK TWO SECTORS.

ENHANCE.

THEY CHECK IN,

BUT THEY DON'T CHECK OUT.

SYSTEM OVERRIDE.

Pilot: STILL NO RESPONSE, CONTROL.

I NEED HELP HERE. I HAVE MAYDAY.

[HELICOPTER APPROACHING]

Control: 4-ALPHA-6, GO TO NAV--

HEY, DOC, WE GOT COMPANY.

REFERENCE PRESENT POSITION.

HELP ME HERE! OVERRIDE THE SYSTEM!

4-ALPHA-6--

ROGER. REFERENCING PRESENT POSITION BRUNO.

DO HAVE BRUNO.

WE ARE LOSING ALTITUDE, CONTROL.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

Shawn: HARVEY! HARVEY!

NO! LEAVE THE DAMN DOG!

GO TO FREQUENCY--

HELP ME HERE! HELP ME! I'M IN DANGER!

AAH!

TWO HOURS TO GLOBAL INTERFACE.

GIVE ME ACCESS TO ALL CREDIT ACCOUNTS.

I'M SORRY. YOUR ACCOUNT IS OVERDRAWN.

HUH?

THIS CARD IS NO LONGER VALID.

NO! NO!

ATM MACHINES.

OH! OH!

[SHOUTING]

DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER.

Woman: REPORTS OF CITY-WIDE CIVIL DISTURBANCES

HAVE BEEN VERIFIED,

AS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS GONE ON FULL TACTICAL ALERT.

BUT WITH AUTOMATED SYSTEM FAILURES OCCURRING

THROUGHOUT THE CITY,

RESPONSE IS EXPECTED TO BE SLOWER THAN USUAL.

ALREADY THE VIOLENCE HAS TAKEN SEVERAL LIVES,

AND FEW SEE AN END TO THE CONTINUING CHAOS.

OFFICIALS ARE REPORTING A REMARKABLE OUTBREAK

OF LOOTING AND RANDOM MAYHEM

THROUGHOUT THE CITY, NATION, AND GLOBE.

JOBE.

HE'S FINISHED HIS CITY.

THAT'S WHY HE WAITED, SO HE COULD OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE.

PEOPLE NEED HOPE.

IF HE CAN DESTROY OUR WORLD,

HE FIGURES WE'LL HAVE TO TURN TO HIM

AS THE NEW MESSIAH IN CYBERSPACE.

BUT YOU CAN'T LIVE IN CYBERSPACE.

JOBE CAN.

IF HE CAN ACHIEVE GLOBAL INTERFACE,

WE WON'T HAVE ANY CHOICE.

EGYPT.

WHERE THEY BUILT THE FIRST DAM.

THE CHIP IS A DAM.

EXACTLY.

[SHOUTING]

COME TO ME, ALL WHO HAVE BURDENS.

I WILL SET YOU FREE,

AND YOU WILL NO LONGER BE THE BASTARD CHILDREN

OF A LOST GENERATION.

Jobe: IT'S TIME TO TAKE CONTROL

OF THE SYSTEM!

GET AWAY!

THERE SHALL BE NO MORE AUTHORITY

TO OPPRESS YOU.

WE CAN ALL BE THE AUTHORITY.

[GLASS BREAKS]

JACK INTO THE NEW WORLD ORDER.

FOLLOW JOBE.

FOLLOW JOBE.

ESCAPE THE VIOLENCE AND GREED

THAT THREATENS TO CONSUME YOU.

40 MINUTES TO GLOBAL INTERFACE.

COME BE ONE WITH YOUR FELLOW MAN.

THIS IS TRUE SPIRITUALITY.

THERE SHALL BE NO MORE AUTHORITY

TO OPPRESS YOU.

WORLD ECONOMIC MARKETS HAVE TAKEN

SOME OF THE WORST COLLAPSES IN HISTORY.

Man: WHAT ABOUT THE EVENTS IN AFRICA?

JONATHON, I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS,

AND I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS.

...THE CORE OF A REACTOR IN KAZAKHSTAN

WENT INTO A MELTDOWN

IN THE WORST NUCLEAR ACCIDENT SINCE CHERNOBYL.

ATTENTION, PLEASE. ALL DATA HIGHWAYS...

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?

COME BACK HERE!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING? STAY HERE.

YOU CAN'T GO ANYWHERE!

COME ON.

JOBE.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

WE'VE LOST CONTROL OF THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.

ALL THE LABORATORY FILES ARE DISAPPEARING.

ARE YOU MESSING WITH ME?

NOW ANSWER ME.

THAT'S AN ORDER.

YOU HAVE NO POWER TO GIVE ORDERS.

IN A HUNDRED YEARS,

YOUR PETTY FINANCIAL EMPIRE WON'T MEAN ANYTHING,

BUT I'LL STILL BE HERE.

[THROWS DOWN TOY] YOU SON OF A BITCH.

WITHOUT ME, YOU'RE NOTHING

BUT A DEAF AND DUMB CRIPPLE.

I MADE YOU,

AND I CAN UNMAKE YOU.

JONATHON.

20 MINUTES TO GLOBAL INTERFACE.

HUH.

YOU CAN'T DISCONNECT HIM

BECAUSE THEN VIRTUAL JOBE WILL REMAIN INSIDE,

SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS--

YOU CAN EITHER HEAVILY SEDATE HIM,

OR YOU CAN TAKE HIM OUT.

IF YOU WANT TO TAKE ME OUT,

JUST ASK.

[DOOR LOCKS]

OPEN THE DOOR, GOD DAMN IT!

BASTARD!

[JOBE CHUCKLING]

ALL RIGHT...

IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU WANT TO PLAY IT.

HA HA HA HA!

PRIME ALERT.

SECURITY BREACH.

ALL PERSONNEL, PRIME ALERT.

SECURITY BREACH.

ALL PERSONNEL.

CODE RED.

CODE RED.

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY.

ALL PERSONNEL WILL EVACUATE THE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY.

THERE ARE THREE TERRORISTS ON THE PREMISES,

FULLY ARMED AND DANGEROUS,

MOVING DOWN CORRIDOR 16.

SHOOT ON SIGHT.

REPEAT-- SHOOT TO KILL.

Walker: THAT SON OF A BITCH.

WAIT, SIR, YOU JUST SAID

THERE WERE TERRORISTS IN THE BUILDING.

WE'RE THE TERRORISTS, YOU IDIOT!

GIVE ME THAT GUN.

THERE ARE THREE TERRORISTS ON THE PREMISES.

SHOOT ON SIGHT.

REPEAT--SHOOT TO KILL.

NO!

[GRUNTS]

15 MINUTES TO GLOBAL INTERFACE.

Jobe: GIVE YOURSELVES TO ME.

YOUR REBIRTH IN THE WOMB OF CYBERSPACE

IS A CHANCE FOR A NEW BEGINNING,

TO LIVE IN EDEN WITHOUT HUNGER,

WITHOUT FAMINE, WITHOUT TEMPTATION.

10 MINUTES TO GLOBAL INTERFACE.

WE HAVE 10 MINUTES, CORI.

YOU BETTER WATCH THE MONITORS--

AND PULL THE REAL CHIP AT THE EXACT MOMENT

YOU DESTROY THE VIRTUAL ONE.

TRACE.

CHECK IT OUT, MAN. LET'S LOOK.

WOW. IF WE COULD JUST JACK INTO THAT DOME UNNOTICED.

Cori: WON'T WORK.

'CAUSE JOBE WILL KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT ANYONE

WHO JACKS INTO THE DOME.

WE NEED TO FIND ANOTHER WAY IN.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, THESE ARE THE ROUTES

FOR THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY

THAT LEAD DIRECTLY INTO THE DOME.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO JACK IN, DOC.

YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH JACKING INTO VR?

NO. I'LL BE FINE.

I'M NOT GONNA RUN AWAY THIS TIME.

OK, LISTEN UP, YOU GUYS.

WE'RE GONNA FOLLOW THIS SUPERHIGHWAY,

THROUGH THE CITY,

TO WHERE IT GOES UNDERGROUND,

ALL THE WAY INTO THE DOME.

WE TAKE THIS ACCESS ROUTE HERE,

FOLLOW THAT UP INSIDE.

THEN COMES THE TRICKY BIT.

WE'VE GOT TO GET BY JOBE,

SMASH THE CHIP.

Peter: HOW ARE WE

GONNA GET THROUGH THE CITY?

WELL, HOW'S ABOUT A LITTLE BIKE RIDE?

OK. LET'S DO IT.

Trace: COOL. OK...

DESTROYING THE CHIP WON'T STOP JOBE.

WHAT DO YOU REALLY HAVE IN MIND?

THE PARADOX OF THE CHIP

IS THAT WHEREAS IT GAVE JOBE

THE POWER TO GO ONLINE,

IT CONTAINS A DAM FUNCTION

TO PREVENT THE USE OF ABSOLUTE POWER.

IF WE DESTROY THE CHIP,

WE DESTROY THE DAM AND EXPOSE JOBE.

WE'VE GOT TO MAKE HIM ANGRY ENOUGH

TO DESTROY HIMSELF.

TRACE, COME ON, MAN! WE GOT TO GO.

IF YOU CAN'T, GET OUT.

I DON'T WANT YOU DISAPPEARING ON ME AGAIN.

AAH!

NO!

Jobe: ...THE PROMISED LAND.

THE TIME HAS FINALLY COME.

YOU SHALL WAIT NO MORE.

THE PROPHECY IS ALREADY BEING FULFILLED,

FOR I HAVE SEEN THE HEAVENS OPEN

AND A VOICE FROM THE THRONE SAY,

"THE RIVERS WILL RUN WITH BLOOD!

"THERE WILL BE CHAOS IN THE STREETS!

"AND IN THE FINAL DAYS,

"THE MATERIAL WORLD WILL FADE AWAY,

AND ONLY CYBERSPACE WILL REMAIN."

IN THE WOMB OF CYBERSPACE

IS A CHANCE FOR A NEW BEGINNING,

TO LIVE IN EDEN WITHOUT HUNGER,

WITHOUT FAMINE.

WITH ME,

YOU WILL FIND REFUGE.

JOBE!

WE CAME TO SAVE YOU, JOBE.

IN HERE,

I AM THE SAVIOR.

TRACE!

[GRUNTING]

I WILL CRUSH YOU!

30 SECONDS TO GLOBAL INTERFACE.

YOU'RE JUST A LAWNMOWER MAN, JOBE.

29, 28,

27...

LAWNMOWER MAN IS DEAD!

AAH!

...GLOBAL INTERFACE. 24, 23...

BY THE WAY,

I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT EGYPT ANYMORE.

I SIMPLY BUILT AROUND IT.

19, 18,

17, 16...

15 SECONDS TO GLOBAL INTERFACE.

14, 13, 12, 11...

10 SECONDS TO GLOBAL INTERFACE.

YOU DESTROYED PETER'S WORLD.

I'M GOING TO DESTROY YOURS.

7, 6, 5,

4, 3,

2, 1.

AAH!

AAH!

YOU'RE A FOOL, TRACE.

I DON'T NEED THE CHYRON CHIP ANYMORE.

I'VE BECOME THE CHIP!

YOU BETRAYED PETER, JOBE.

YOU'VE SOLD YOUR SOUL FOR NOTHING.

YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH POWER

TO DESTROY ME!

AAH! AAH!

AAH!

IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT, JOBE?

IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT?

IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO?

[BEEPING]

[GASPING]

WHAT'S...

HAPPENING TO ME?

EGYPT, JOBE. EGYPT.

[GASPING AND WHIMPERING]

HEY, JOBE. COME HERE.

MAKE A WISH.

MAKE A WISH.

YEAH! WE'RE BACK!

WHOO!

WHOO!

YEAH!

OHH...

WHOO.

SWEETHEART.

HEY.

HEY.

MY PAL.

WELL DONE.

HEY!

[SIGHS]

I NEED TO SEE JOBE.

OK. LET'S GO.

Shawn: WE GOT TO DEFINITELY DO THIS AGAIN.

THERE HE IS.

CAREFUL.

PROBABLE PATHWAYS

TO INTERFACE,

40,084.

HE'S REGRESSING.

JOBE?

PETER...

PETER...

PUMPKIN EATER.

WELL, ISN'T THAT TOUCHING?

I WANT THE CHIP.

YOU CAN KEEP THE REST,

FOR WHAT HE'S WORTH.

WE'LL GIVE YOU THE CHIP. GIVE US THE KID.

I REALLY DISLIKE REPEATING MYSELF.

GIVE HIM THE CHIP.

GOOD LUCK.

OH, BY THE WAY, DR. PLATT...

YOU'RE FIRED.

PETER!

[GUNSHOTS]

[GRUNTING]

AAH!

[SCREAMING]

I THOUGHT I LOST YOU, MAN.

COME ON, LET'S GO HOME.
