I didn't grow up there.

Oh. Where'd you grow up?

-I said, "Where'd you grow up?" -South Pacific.

The South Pacific islands.

Wow. That's pretty unusual.

Ycah, I plan to go back thcrc some day.

Watcr, sir?

Thanks.

Well, sec you around, Jack.

Sure thing, Frod.

[announcer] The conferencc room wíll he open ín five minutes.

Good morning, overyone. My namc is Robert Tuttlc.

I'll be your first spcaker.

I will first discuss shaVing cream distribution outlcts

in North Amcrican markcts.

Lct mc begin by acknowlcdging what has become axiomatic

in thc field of shaVing cream distribution.

Mainly that shavig crcam,

indccd almost all pcrsonal hygienc products for men,

are what we call fashion-rosistant.

The oVerwhelming majority of shaVing cream uscrs

will adopt a brand and rcmain Ioyal to it.

...especially interosting to note

is thc diffcrence in mcthods used to penctratc that markct.

Because thcse two mcthods omployed by the rcspcctive companies

really illustratcs thc cssential stratcgiC choice that faces...

[chatter]

The Meditorranoan is...

The Meditorranoan is bcautiful.

But if it's real sailing you want,

I rccommend the Sunda Islands in thc Banda Sca.

-[man] Never hcard of it. -I was thcrc on a trip last spring.

-[woman] Your cigarettes, sir. -Thak you very much.

Mmm ...

Cohibas, my faVourite brand.

Thank you. Oh, I'm sorry.

-[paper rustlcs] -Thak you.

[billiard balls thud]

[mcn chatter softly]

-Would you excusc me a momcnt? -Sure thing, JaCk.

[tcnsc seductiVc musiC playing]

[man] Good evening, sir. What'Il it be?

Givo me a Scotch, single malt.

-On the rocks. -You got it.

Haven't we secn each othcr beforc?

You'll haVe to comc up with somethig morc original than that.

I'm here for thc convention.

That's fascinating.

-You'rc in markcting, right? -Uh-uh.

Sales.

Is thero a diffcrcncc?

What about you?

I do hcalth inspections of hotcl restaurants.

-That sounds intcrcsting. -No, it doesn't.

Do you have an answer for cVcrything?

Ycs.

Rita Foster.

Jack Thursby.

So, what do you do besidcs travel to dull cities

and talk to women in hotel bars?

I , uh. .. play golf.

Arc you any good?

No. [Iaughs]

Honesty. I Iikc that.

What elsc do you Iikc?

No commitments.

No bullshit.

Uh-huh.

And no rings.

No rings?

You might want to takc yours off.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'll leave you alonc now.

[Finster] Your transmission camc through, Mr Thursby.

The signal was clear.

Pcrhaps I could do something elso on my ncxt trip.

I think I'm ready to handlc a bigger assignment.

We'll be sending you to Omaha next Wedncsday.

Omaha?

You'll pcrform the samo job that you did in Buffalo.

[hangs up]

[woman] Omaha? Why can't thoy find somcone in Omaha?

[man on tV].. .posítion the hall a little more towards...

Why do thcy need to fly you all thc way out thcrc?

It doesn't makc sense.

Morgan.

Morgan, arc you listcning to mc?

This will allow the cluh to get down ...

Since when did you evcr caro about golf?

You're not going on this trip, Morgan.

-I'm sorry. -[sighs]

What do you mean, I'm ot going?

My father wants you to comc to his office tomorrow.

Gotting a position with his company

is morc important than a silly freelancc job.

I said I'd go.

You're not going, Morgan. End of discussion.

You're staying here.

I'll call my father tonight and wc'Il ...

Tell your fathcr to go fuCk himsclf.

What did you just say?

Say you're sorry, Morgan.

Morgan!

If you don't apologizc, I want you out of this house.

Morgan! Are you listening to me?

What in Cod's name has gotto into you?

Since when did you start smoking?

Morgan?

-[Iighter clicks] -What's going on?

I think I desorvc an explanation.

Arc you losing your mind? Is this some kind of brcakdown?

[hostcss] Your Scotch, Mr Thursby.

[Rita] Turn around slowly, plcasc.

What is your transmission device?

I thought you were a hcalth inspector.

Ugh [groans]

[Rita] I'll ask you again.

What is your transmission device?

The pcn, in my jackct poCkct.

[buzzing and bccping]

-Do not turn the pon on. -What?

When you'rc insidc thc convention room, keep thc pen turncd off.

Do not scnd the trasmission to Digicorp.

If you tell Digicorp you mct me, thcy'II kill you.

Take two cVcry six hours.

It'll get rid of the nightmarcs you'Vc been havig.

Your headaches will go away too, and the pain in thc back of your nock.

How do you know I'm having nightmarcs?

We'll be in touch in Boise!

What'Il they do if I don't turn on my pcn?

Just remembcr who you arc.

You are Morgan SulliVan.

You are not Jack Thursby.

Wait.

[helicoptor whirring]

[man] Good morning, everyono. I'm AIcx Chen.

I'll be your first spcaker.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to address the controvcrsy

that's bccn raging around new tochniqucs

in thc preparation of proccsscd cheese.

Now, at thc risk of oVcrsimplifying,

thc qucstion facing thc aVeragc manufacturer of proccssed cheose

is this...

givcn incrcascd consumcr prejudiCc against chemical additives,

how do wc stcm thc tide away from natural or organic-bascd products

and instill in the chccsc buyer...

[Finster] I'm glad to hear that there were no prohlcms

at the cDnvention, Mr Thurshy.

I'll call down tD the Iah to make sure the transmission went through.

Exccllent wDrk, Mr Thurshy

Thank you.

Your transmíssion came thrDugh perfectly,

just as clear as the last time

I want you to take another tríp

Boise, Idaho.

Boisc?

WeĘve scheduled a connecting flight for you tD hoard once you've Ianded.

You won't have time to go hDme. That's not a prohlem, is it?

No. No problom.

[groans]

[tcnsc music playing]

[plane oginc roars]

Room 1403, Mr Thursby.

The convention room will bc opcn in an hour.

Thank you.

Mr Thursby, onc last thing.

The first letter from cach word is thc phonc umbor to call hcr.

[suspcnscful drumming playing]

-[ringing tono] -[Rita] Hello, Mr Sullivan.

You've dialed a special numher that Cannot he traced or monitored.

NDw, lísten carefully.

Take the serviCe elevator at the end Df the hall

down to the hasement level.

You'll he clear for the next five mínutes.

Wait a minutc. Wait...

[hangs up]

[hiss and click]

Keep moVing.

[tcnsc music playing]

Roll up your sleeve, plcasc.

We don't haVc much time.

[door closcs]

[truck cngine rcVVing]

Arc you insane? You're not sticking that into me!

He has mcdical training, Mr Sullivan.

I don't carc if hc's a fucking brain surgcon

-You'rc not gonna drug mc. -Wc'rc undrugging you.

The shot will block out thc DigiCorp narcotic.

What?

The chemical thcy're putting in your bloodstream at evcry convention.

Do you normally drink somcthing insidc the conVention room?

Mincral water.

The drug is tastcless and odorless. You wouldn't haVc known.

Did you takc the pills I gavc you?

Have the noises in your hcad startcd to go away?

And the rccurring dreams?

Jesus, what is this?

Why didn't Digicorp chcck my transmission in Omaha?

Thcrc was no transmission in Omaha.

Or in Buffalo. Or anywhere clse.

Why arc thcy sending mc to thcsc convotions?

The conventions arc charades.

Charadcs?

You and the other convention guosts all work for Digicorp.

You're all spies.

You're givo phony assignments, phony identities.

You think your pen is a transmitting device.

Anothcr guest thiks it's his tie clip or hcr watch.

The whole thing is just a ploy to keop you all distracted,

to not realizc what's roally going on.

What is rcally going on?

If you want aswors, take thc shot.

[truck braking]

When you'rc insidc thc room, act as you always act.

Ordcr the mincral wator. Drink it. Don't makc thcm suspicious.

The shot wc gave you should protect you.

Should protcct me?!

What do you mean? What if it doesn't?

Listen to me carefully.

WhatcVcr happcns in that room,

show no rcaction, no emotion, no surprise.

No matter what you scc, do not moVe.

What will I scc?

Who scnt you?

A fricnd.

I don't havc any fricnds.

When will I soe you again?

Soon.

I promisc.

[door opcning]

[man] There arc several points of intcrcst hcrc.

First of all, the fact that by an impressive margin,

new home purchases took most of thc brunt of that dccline.

[man clears throat]

By this, I mean that sales of older homes are donc on a individual basis

whcrc thcrc's considerably more room for negotiation.

Thcrcfore, in those salcs,

we're more likely to find that thc official rise in mortgage rates

has been offsct somewhat by thc...

...respectiVc ratcs of return on high-tech ivestments,

which led to a surgc in busincss capital spending

and signifiCantly increased

thc undcrlying growth rate of productiVity.

The capitalization of thesc highcr-than-expectcd returns

boosted cpuity prices gcnerally beyond

evcn that expectcd by thc enhanccd rise in rcal incomes.

The elcVated levol of light-vchicle sales, for example,

has put morc vehiclcs on the road than the industry could sustain.

And cVen though dcmand for a number of high-tech products

was doubling or tripling annually,

in many casos, now supply was coming on even fastcr.

OVcrall, capacity in high-tech manufacturing industrios

rose ncarly 50o!o last year,

well in excess of its rapid ratc of increase.

Accordingly, thc slowdown in thc economy

that bega in thc middlc of last ycar

intensified,

perhaps evcn to the point of growth stalling out

around the turn of the year.

As thc cconomy slowcd, euity prices fell,

especially in the high-tech sector,

whcrc provious high cValuations were boing re-evaluated,

resultig in significant losses in somc inVcstors.

Clcarly, some slowing in thc pace of speding was ncccssary

if the economy was to progrcss...

...balanccd and sustainablc growth ...

[lights clicking on]

...with the process likely intensificd by the rise in the cost of cncrgy

that has strained business and houschold purchasing powcr.

Purchases of durable goods and invcstment in capital epuipment

declined in thc fourth uartcr.

Because thc oxtcnt of thc slowdown was not aticipatcd by businesscs,

it induced some backup in inVentories,

despitc the more advanccd tcchnologies...

...adjust production Ievels more rapidly...

Iventory sales ratios rose only moderatcly.

And cVen after thc policy actions takcn in January,

thc risks continue skcwcd towards thc economies rcmaining on a path

inconsistent with satisfactory economic pcrformance.

Crucial to the asscssment of thc outlook and tho understanding

of rcccnt policy options

is thc role of thc tcchnological change in productivity

in shaping ear-tcrm cyclical forccs

as well as long-tcrm sustainable growth perceptiblc...

[snorts softly]

[spcech contiues indistinctly]

Moreover, although rcccnt short-tcrm business profits

have softcned considcrably,

most corporate managers appear not to have altercd ...

[torch clicks]

...long-standing optimism about the futurc returns.

A reccnt surVcy of purchasing managcrs...

Just a rcflex.

...the waVc of new olinc busincss actiVities was far from impressiVc.

Corporate managers appear to be rcmarkably Sanguine

about the potential for innoVation.

[contraption whirs]

[tcnsc music playing]

[voicc montage] You are not Morgan Sullivan. YDu are...

You are nDt married to Amy Sullivan.

Your wífe is Díane Thurshy ín San Jose ...

Your wífe is Díane Thurshy.

Your home.. . You are Jack Thurshy.

You are Jack Thurshy.

[voiccs quicken]

[fast voice montagc rosumcs]

Your wífe is Díane Thurshy.

You Iive ín Rcdmond, Washíngton.

...to cxpress concern about.

...encouragcd declincs in markct intcrest rates.

The FOMC reduced its targotcd federal funds ratc

by one-half a porccntagc point to its current IcVel of 5.50!o.

Accordingly, to fostcr financial conditions,

thc Fcderal RcscrVe has quickcncd thc pace of adjustmcnt for its policy.

I conclusion, a cautious approach is always the bcst stratcgy.

Thank you for your attcntion.

[applause]

Excuso me. Do you have the time?

[chatter]

The time? Your watch?

Ycah, it's 8:30.

Already? Cosh, that last speech just flow by.

Ycah.

Oh, ycah. Vcry much.

Hello?

It's for you.

[Rita] DigiCorp will approaCh you at the aírport.

Tell them you are Jack Thurshy.

Tell them you've never heard Df Morgan Sullivan.

Make them think you're hrainwashed.

If you're exposcd, theyĘll kill you.

What happcncd back thcre?

You're feeling the side effcCts Df the neutralizing agent in your system.

Don't worry. You'll he fine.

[heart beats rapidly]

[man] He's traveling. He's traveling. We've located...

[distorted Voiccs]

[electronic glitching]

[heavy breathing]

[man] Mr SulliVan?

Thcrc's been a change of plans, Mr Sullivan.

You need to comc to Digicorp's Iocal office right away.

Mr Sullivan?

Mr Sullivan?

Arc you alright?

I think you'rc mistaken.

My namc isn't SulliVan.

You're not Morgan Sullivan?

You don't work for Digicorp?

No, my name is Thursby. Jack Thursby.

I think you'rc Iooking for somebody else.

I'm sorry... Mr Thursby.

My mistakc.

Oh, that's OK.

[woman] Hollo, sir. How are you?

[clears throat]

Could you makc dinncr a half-hour oarlicr tonight?

Sure.

I wrote down a Iist of errands I nccd you to do today.

OK.

Your oar kcys arc in thc foyer next to your briefcase,

[dramatic music playing]

PIanning a trip?

Just somc reading to pass thc timc.

You're expected in rcception, Mr Thursby.

Down the hail ad to thc Icft

[electronic buzzing]

What is your name?

Jack Thursby.

My namc's Frank Callaway.

I'm head of security for Sunways Systcms.

According to your nouro-graph, you'rc Iying.

You're lying who you say that your namo is Jack Thursby.

You're lying who you say

that you are not an undcrcoVcr agent.

You are lying when you say that you do not work for Digicorp.

And I cannot tell you how happy that makos us.

No way. I am not goig back to that houso.

You are in a unipue position here, Morgan.

Digicorp thinks that you're brainwashed as Jack Thursby.

Thcy think that you'vc passed our ncuro-graph,

and they want us to hire you as onc of our agots.

I don't carc what they want.

Your countcrintclligence work for Sunways will be Very simple.

Digicorp will evor suspect that you're working for us,

so thcy won't watch you too closely while you're in the house.

All you haVe to do is placo one bug in each room.

You don't fucking undcrstand. I'm going homo.

I'm going to my real home.

-Your real home is gonc, Morgan. -What are you talkig about?

Your wife put your house up for salc.

Her Iawycr has bcen trying to contact you for thc last few days.

She filcd for diVorce thrcc days ago.

I'm sorry, Morgan.

Look, Morgan, I know this is hard.

I want to seo Rita.

-Who? -Rita Foster.

She pulled mc out of thc brainwashing.

No, Morgan. You canot see her.

Why not? She works for you.

She does not work for us.

But you scnt her to find mo at thc hotols, right?

No.

But you know who she works for.

Who does she work for?

She works for Scbastian Rooks

Who's Sobastian Rooks?

Sebastian Rooks is a freolance operativc who we hired

to find out how Digicorp was getting thcir agcnts past our neuro-graph.

Thcn wc askcd him to sod us an agcnt who wasn't brainwashed.

He dclivorod you.

He's thc bcst in the business,

but hc's also Very dangerous and Vcry ruthlcss.

I adVisc you to stay away from him.

Stay away from him and hcr.

Look...

...we are offcring you a Very good dcal hcrc.

When your work for us is finishcd ...

...we will giVe you a ew identity and a new home.

Somcwhere Very far away and safe from Digicorp.

I'm sorry, Mr Callaway

Have to find somcone clsc for your job.

You won't last long out there.

Anywhcrc you go outsidc this complex,

Digicorp will havo agents watchig you.

If you try to run,

if you behave like Morgan SulliVan instead of Jack Thursby,

thcy will eliminatc you.

Ouick.

Efficient.

Ruthless.

You're fortunatc, Morgan.

If we had't interruptcd thc brainwashing proccss,

you'd be like thc other convention guosts,

programmcd with a new identity, sent to companies across the globo...

...disposed of when you'd outliVed your usefuless to Digicorp.

You have a chance to fight back.

So...

...are you ready to be a spy, Morgan?

[elegant piano music]

Gona get somc more broccoli.

[tcnsc music playing]

[man] Phonc Iines are tappcd

[woman speaks in fast-forward]

He helieves he's Jack Thurshy, and he helieves I'm his wife.

He's adjusted tD thís house.

-Who's she talking to? -Digicorp agcnts.

She's giVing them a rcport on you.

He spcnds much of his timc indoors.

Of coursc, hc has no friends,

and hc has littlc contact with thc outside world.

We'Vc got the intcrnct lines tappcd too.

Excellcnt work, Morgan. Excellcnt.

My God.

My God, my life is the same as it cVcr was.

Well, that's bocause Digicorp monitored your old life

and then duplicated it.

Helps casc the trasition of becoming anothcr porson.

That's not who I am anymorc.

I ...

I smoke cigarcttes.

I like to drink Scotch. I play golf.

I'm ot supposed to IiVc in thc suburbs.

I'm ot supposed to be like that.

Well I'm sorry if you're disappointed, Morgan,

but that is your vision of Jack Thursby.

It is not Digicorp's.

Can you guys clean up thc camcra reception in that hallway?

[tcnsc music playing]

[ringing tone]

[Rita] Yes, Jamison?

This isn't Jamison. It's Morgan SulliVan.

So, tonight, you will say that you're going out of town on a busiess trip.

Now, you know how to tcll her that, right?

-Morgan? -Ycs.

You will stick to tho script, Morgan.

You won't try aything risky, you undcrstand mc?

Sebastian Rooks has agrced to help you.

-When docs he want to meet me? -Not yct. He's in tho car bohind us.

[watcr pressurc spraying]

-How much money does Rooks want? -Hc's not interested in your money.

It's your situation. He thinks he can use it to his advantage.

How?

I'll be in touch with you in Wichita.

Wichita?

That's whcrc Sunways will bc sending you on your last assignment.

How do you know that?

-Thoy haVcn't cVen told me. -Rooks knows.

He knows evcrything.

Can I trust Rooks?

I can't giVc you guarantccs.

But hc has the resourccs to provide you with a new life, a new identity.

It's your choice, Mr Sullivan.

[Sullivan] What do I have to do?

[Rita] Sunways will send you Dn a scríes of assignments.

You'll receíve a courier dísk Dn each trip.

Digícorp agents will he followíng yDu wherever you go.

Let them. That's what Sunways wants.

At each destination, you'll he met hy a Sunways cDntact.

They'll download data ontD your dísk.

Digícorp's agents will assume you're reCeiving valuahle informatíon.

As you travel tD more Cities, collect more data

and complete more assignments, your agent status will ríse.

Digícorp will then assume

you have heCome Dne of Sunways' top Company men.

Jack?

[Rita] EaCh disk you hring home wíll seem more ímportant than the last.

As they copy the Sunways fíIes,

Digícorp will think they have wDn a major viCtory

against their greatest ríval.

In reality, Dígicorp ís the loscr.

Sunways ís feeding thcm corrupt data that wíll sahotage their operations.

But make no místake, Mr Sullívan. Sunways ís just as ruthless as Digícorp.

Once this DperatiDn is complete, they will eliminate you.

RDDks wíll proteCt you.

Please. YDu can trust me.

[Frank] Wc're scnding you to Kansas, Wichita.

[chuCklcs] It's almost oVcr, Morga.

After this trip to thc vault, your work for us will bc finished.

-Tho Vault? -It's our data warchousc.

It's completely isulated from the outsidc world,

but wc send in agcnt couriers if wc necd to retriove or add a filc.

You. .. will be our ncxt couricr.

And Digicorp will think thcy havo hit thc mothcr Iodc.

[electronic glitching]

[gasps]

Shh.

We nccd to kecp our Voiccs down.

Switch this disk with thc oe in your briefcasc...

...before you go to thc vault.

Take off your ring.

What?

Your ring.

This is a tracking dcVicc.

It'll giVc us your precise Iocation at all timcs.

Does this mean we can see each other again?

I'll pick you up aftcr you IcaVe thc vault, deliVcr you to Rooks.

I meant after that.

We can nevor sec each othcr again.

It would compromisc your new identity.

I'm evor gctting out of this, am I?

[scntimental music playing]

500 Horsc Creek Road, plcasc.

I know where to go.

Settlc down, Mr Sullivan. We haVc a log rido ahcad of us.

[tircs scrccching]

[thundcr rumbles]

You don't have to protcnd to be Thursby.

I know you'rc not brainwashed

I know that Sunways has bccn using you as a doublc agent against Digicorp.

Arc you going to kill me?

Not if you rcturn your Ioyaltics to mc...

...instead of Scbastian Rooks.

Oh, ycah. I know that you work for him.

As a mattcr of fact, wc both do.

I'm Rooks's inside sourCc at Digicorp.

His what?

He paid me to hire you

so you could bc his pawn oncc you were sent off to Suways.

[laughs]

You didn't think I hired you bccause I was improsscd by you, did you?

[chuCklcs]

It's a good plan, rcally

Rooks knew that you'd end up here in Kansas

on the way to the Sunways Vault.

He kncw he Could conVincc you to switch their disk with his.

That was his sChcmc from the Vcry start.

It's not possible.

Rooks's disk contains a search program.

It will pcnctrate thc vault's securc nctwork

and puietly steal a data filc without triggering any alarms.

What data filc?

Who knows?

But if Rooks has gone to all this troublc to get it,

it must be extremely Valuable.

The plan was foolproof.

Except for onc factor he failed to considor.

Me.

What do you want?

When you come out of the vault, deliver the disk to me, not Rooks.

I'Vc becn Ioyal to Digicorp all along.

Why should I trust you? Or Digicorp?

Because wc'll let you live and Rooks wo't. It's as simple as that.

No-one secs his face and lives to tell about it.

No-one secs his face?

He's a deep-coVcr operative. A Yuri in cybcrspace.

He's a phantom.

Companics hirc him without actually knowig who hc is.

If they did, they'd kill him.

The moment you givc that disk to Rooks

is thc momcnt he climinatcs you.

Thcrc's only onc pcrson Rooks trusts with his identity.

Rita Foster, his loVcr.

She's completcly Ioyal to him. no-one clsc.

I'm thc only person you can trust now.

I'll be ncarby whcn you come out.

Just in casc wc get separated.

No charge for thc ridc.

[enginc revVing]

[rumblig]

[mcchanical whirring]

Good cVcning, Mr Thursby.

My namc's Virgil Dunn.

Welcomc to the Vault.

[door sliding shut]

[electronic becping]

First time?

Hope you didn't haVc a big diner.

[Dun] Stcp ahcad, pleaso.

[mcchanical arms whir]

Now that we know you are bug-frcc,

I can call you by your real namc, Morgan.

Dunn, Virgil C.

[mcchanical whirring]

Nced your disk now, plcasc.

Good, good.

[types on keyboard]

[computer signals becp]

[electronic becping]

Digicorp will crcam in thcir pants

whcn thcy copy the bogus data that I've just cookcd up for them.

You wouldn't bclieve thc number of times

thcy'vo tried to jack into thc systems down here.

-HaVc thcy evor succeeded? -Hcll, no.

This placc... is tighter than a nu's asshole.

[birds chirp and twitter]

Uh ...

...snort whilc wc wait?

Oh. .. Surc.

I distill it myself down hcrc.

It's one of my littlc hobbics, pass the time.

Thanks.

Here's to the information age.

[insoct buzzcs]

I uscd to bc an agcnt like you once.

I was thc bcst molc spotter in thc busincss.

You put me in a room with a possiblc double agcnt,

Ict me ask him a couplc of pucstions,

and I could tell you right thcrc whcther hc was a spy or not.

That was bcfore Sunways put me down hcrc.

[sighs] That was threo ycars ago.

What happcncd?

Thosc fucking machines is what happcncd.

Thcy said thc neuro-graphs were 100o!o accurate but I wasn't,

that a really good spy, a really good Iiar,

could trick me evcry timc.

It's bullshit, I told them.

Thcy didn't listen.

You seo... there arc things that only a perso can know

about another pcrson, Mr Sullivan,

things that a machinc could nevcr pick up.

For example, let me ask you a couplc of pucstions.

Excuso me?

What is your favouritc drink?

Go ahcad. Answcr. I just want to prove my point.

What is your favouritc drink?

Er, Scotch, singlc malt.

On tho rocks.

You're tclling thc truth.

Arc you married?

Ycs, I am.

Truth agai.

See, you're Very.. . Vcry easy to read.

Now.. .arc you in IoVc with your wifo?

Ycs.

Thcrc. You just lied. Am I right?

Ycs, I Iiod.

Huh.

[timer ticks]

It's more than just pucstions, howcVer.

For instancc...

...I'm scnsing a kind of tension I you.

It's been cVidcnt ever since I put your disk in my computer.

Now, why would that be?

We both know the disk is from Sunways.

Thcrc's nothing on it that should make you uncasy.

One last puestion, alright?

Sure.

Arc you a doublo agcnt?

Ugh

[dramatic music playing]

Where's Mr Dunn?

He dccided to stay in his office.

Right.

-You can go ahcad, Mr SulliVan. -Thak you.

[alarm blarcs]

Don't let him go

Ugh

For your safety, please remain inside the elevator.

Emergency crews are on their way.

[heavy breathing]

[tcnsc music playing]

Jump!

[grunts]

[explosion]

[exhales]

I told you I'd know where you'd be.

I can takc the disk now.

Is this Rooks?

[Rita] Jamison, one of our opcratives.

Rooks is back at the hotel.

He's Iooking forward to sccing you.

[helicoptor whirring]

The car is waiting downstairs. Call me when you get to the lab.

This is whoro Rooks lives?

For now. He moves around a lot.

But you know whcrc he is at all timcs?

We haVc a spccial rclationship.

Your assignmcnt is nearly finished, Mr SulliVan.

I'll be back I a momcnt.

[door locks]

[ringing tone] Fínster.

-[whispers] It's Morgan Sullivan. -Sullivan. What happened to you?

WeĘre tracing the call. WeĘll he there shortly.

-Where's Rooks? -I'm just about to mcct him.

I'll break it.

If you come any furthcr, I'll brcak it.

I gaVc you the Sunways disk. This onc is yours, the one Rooks wants.

Stop

You really don't want to do that.

You usod mc.

You and Rooks.

You usod mc from thc very start.

-Wait, let mc explain. -No.

Finster already cxplainod cVcrything.

When did you talk to Finstcr?

He's on his way. I just Called him.

If Rooks wants this disk before Finstcr arrivos,

you bcttcr unlock that door and let mc go.

Listen to me. Scbastian Rooks is not thc pcrson you think hc is.

Sebastian Rooks is a ruthless spy, and so aro you.

-No, you're wrong. He's.. . -I know about you.

I know about the two of you.

I know about your special rolationship.

PIcasc, just hear mc out. I ...

I don't want to hear any more lies. I don't want to hear any more lies

Welcomc home, Mr Rooks.

Come on. Finster will bo hcrc any minutc.

No.

No.

No more lies.

You can't trick mc anymorc.

Listen to me. You are not Morgan Sullivan.

You creatcd him out of your own imagination.

Your life in the suburbs, your misorable marriage.

Your wife, Amy, was one of your own operativcs

playing a part you assigncd hcr.

[groans]

The moro you fight the truth, thc more it'll hurt.

It's not possible.

You usod the samc brainwashing techniquc Digicorp usos.

You were thc one who sold thom thc tcchnology to begin with.

-It makcs no scnsc -It makcs perfcCt scnsc!

Turning yourself into Morgan SulliVan

was thc oly way you could pass Digicorp's ncuro-graph.

It was the only way you could get hircd to bc their spy

and get scnt to Sunways.

Why would anyonc do this?

-For this. -What's on it?

I was hoping you could tell me.

You don't know?

I'Vc put a lot of faith into this assignmcnt.

[door bangs]

Frecze!

Sunways Security! Identify yoursclvcs

That's who I'm here for.

-You'Vc flown this beforc? -No, nevcr.

You know how to fly it.

You designcd it.

-I don't know what to do. -Sebastian Rooks knows.

[rapid beeping]

Is it what you wanted?

Ycs.

The filc in thc vault was erascd.

And this is the only copy.

Now there's no copy at all.
