The Grid. A digital frontier.

A world beyond the screen, as real as our own.

I can picture it. Clusters of information rising like

cities. Programs as complex as you and me. In just

a few years, we're going to be able to enter this world. And a

few years after that, well, this world will come into ours.

Intelligent life from inside the machine.

I, for one, can't wait to meet him.

Our lead story. ENCOM CEO and video game icon Kevin

Flynn has disappeared. He was best known for designing Tron and Space

Paranoids, the best selling video games in history. The company that started

at Kevin Flynn's arcade in the 1980s has faced years of corporate

turmoil. Can it find its way to the victory stream once again?

It's a sister act for encom. Even Test Kim take the reins

of the massive tech company after Sam Flynn resigns for personal

reasons. Rebound under the Kim sisters Leadership

has competitors r Software giant Dillinger Systems appoints

its new CEO. Julian Dillinger vows to restore his grandfather's legacy.

Systems heats up as new CEOs Julian Dillinger and the Kim

sisters square up here at NCom. We believe the beauty of AI

is not the ability to build smarter weapons, but to uplift

humanity. Feed the hungry, cure the sick,

educate the world. CEOs Julian Dillinger

and Eve Kim have gone quiet in recent months, raising speculation the two companies are

very close to a substantial technological breakthrough. One that

has the potential to transform humanity in ways we have never seen before.

The future may well lie in the hands of whoever gets there first.

Sam,

it.

Sam,

it's it.

Who are you? I am

your creator. And who am

Ah. Who what?

Your Dillinger system security software program

name. Eris. Defender of the Grid.

You. Master Control,

Aries. I am Master

It's Sam.

So you made it. I had a feeling that you

would. I always dreamed that we would do this together.

I'll admit, not exactly like this, this.

But I'm glad you're here. I'm really

glad. And Evie. Remember, I'm still here.

Even if you can't see me. I love you.

Oh, God. Eve. I'm not sure you

actually told me we'd be stealing energy from the power grid.

Wow. So this is where she kept coming back to,

huh? To be this disconnected from the world. As dedication,

my friend. Wow. Looks like your sister had

a little crush. Yeah, she was so sure Flynn

left us the answer. Like on a floppy disk. Poor Flynn lived

before the cloud, huh? Hey, are you still going to be doing CEO type stuff

while we're out here? You know, like earnings Calls and the launcher. Panic city and

stuff. Let's just get this done. Dude, I can make breakfast burritos right

here. Hell yeah.

This for you Test members

of the board. For over 40 years

my family at Dillinger Systems has battled NCom for

control of the future. You put me in charge of the company to

ensure our victory. Today I

make it so. Imagine if all our digital prowess

wasn't just digital. What if anything we could dream in the machine could become

a reality here. What if we could build the bridge between

two previously walled off worlds? So much talk

of AI and big tech today. Virtual worlds. What are they going

to look like when we get there? Well folks,

we're not going there. They are

coming here. Attention.

Please put on your safety glasses now.

Laser systems activated. Power fluctuations or not.

Warning. Stand clear.

Outputting from Dillinger system server.

Raw material info initiated.

I present the Dillinger Systems amphibious rapid response

tank. The Dart. Digitally modeled inside

our server output using our patented laser technology. An emblem rifle

gun. Two M240 machine guns. It's got a top speed of 75 miles per hour.

Durability. You find a wall, this thing is going to drive through it.

This is full scale war. Five minutes notice.

So if we can create the hardware of the future,

then why not the soldier to operate it?

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like you to meet Aries.

This is the most sophisticated security program ever

written. You want to shake his hand? Go ahead. He doesn't bite.

Aries has billions of lines of code unique to him. Is it alive?

That depends on your definition, Stewart.

Because unlike you, he's biblically strong, lightning fast and supremely

intelligent. He is fully proprietary and 100% expendable.

Ares is the ultimate soldier. He needs no food,

no water, sheds no blood. And if by some miracle he is struck down on

the battlefield, I will simply make you another.

With all that sophisticated code, what makes you think you can contain it?

I can assure you General, the most advanced fail safe mechanisms and restriction

protocols are in place. Aries is predictably controllable and

fully alive.

Southwest tropic, left Turning cyclonic. Predicting precipitation.

2.6 inches. I hope that you brought your

umbrellas.

I have to hand it to you, Julian. You promised a big win. And this

is even bigger than any of us could have imagined. Thank you.

My grandfather started Dillinger Corporation long before anybody heard

the term cybersecurity. Military AI is

the future. The question is not whether the car should be

built. The car is being built right now.

The question is who's holding

the keys?

That Was quite some bala trust trick. Time?

44 seconds. I hope you brought your umbrellas.

Or was that in the script? Or was he just having a

moment? Elizabeth Dillinger, Eldest daughter of founder

Edward Dillinger. Deceased, longtime CEO during a relatively

unremarkable period of corporate history before being superseded by your only son.

It's a pleasure. Unremarkable?

Market share was up 12% during my tenure. That's hardly.

Anyway, we don't say superseded. We.

We call it giving birth. Of course.

It's an honor to meet my creator's creator. Oh,

here we go.

I noticed you left out the part where you can't seem to keep this

thing of yours alive for more than 25 minutes. 29.

Deceiving your investors. Julian is hardly a business

model. Whoever controls the permanence code controls the future.

We have to win.

Look, I admire

your vision. Straighten up.

However, the board will only stand behind you for

another six months if you're lucky.

But if it doesn't work,

all of this goes away, Darling.

Everything we have built

for the past 40 years.

What if I said I'd found a way?

I think this is my 95th breakfast burrito and honestly

can't get enough. Isn't that wild?

Well,

nice to see Tess wasn't the only obsessive one in the family.

Yes, Seth, you're right. Sorry. Paid more attention to you. Oh, don't worry about it.

Okay,

I'm sorry. Get out of here. Look, three months

and sub zero is a long time. I get it. Yeah, four days, 10 hours,

32 minutes. Who's counting? Really? You know,

hold on. What do you mean?

Look sad.

You found something? I think so.

The line of code. That's how he hit it. It's two lines.

Oh, that looks like

a double helix. It is a double helix.

Tess would have loved this. Wait, are you serious? So no more 29

minutes. Now, if this is what I think it is.

It's the permanence code.

Offline child3170, a one permanence code implemented,

testing for asset stability beyond current 29 minute barrier. Go.

Ready when you are. Okay.

It's all in the wrist, baby.

29 minutes and counting down.

Let's see if you last this time.

Aries is the ultimate soldier. If by

some miracle he struck down on the battlefield. I will simply make you another Sir.

Fully proprietary, 100% expendable.

Athena. Welcome back, sir. All units

are online and ready for inspection.

So how was was interesting. Different this time.

I met a mother and a son.

It was raining. The condensed moisture of the atmosphere

falling visibly in separate drops. I can almost feel it.

Feel? I don't understand.

This is Eve. Get sensible and text.

Hey, Eve, it's Aaron. Got AJ for you again. And especially

much. Still straight to voicemail.

CEO of Fortune 500 company. And your phone's down on our biggest night.

God damn it. Where the hell are you? Eve?

5, 4, 3,

2, 1.

Did we just do it? Dude, it's still there. Can we

just change the world, man?

Big news out of INCOM tonight. CEO Eve

Kim will not attend the highly anticipated launch event for

the company's new game, Space Paranoids Panic City.

Kim, the visionary designer behind the relaunch of Blockbuster

franchise. Well, I spoke to several of our board members, and needless to say,

they are impressed. Julian.

Yes? What are you doing? Oh, just trying

to change the world, Mother. What's going on?

You're hacking incomplete. Just a peek over the garden wall. No one will notice.

What makes you think that ENCOM is any closer to finding it? Because I know

who else is looking for it, all right? Who?

Eve Kim. She's following in her sister's footsteps.

She's after the permanence code. I can feel it. So I'm gonna find her.

And when I can. No. No. I don't like it. It's too risky.

Oops.

It's Sam.

Security break programs.

Our directive is clear. Penetrate the server core and extract

Eve Kim's user file. That is 5, 4,

3, space.

Are you ready?

Put your hands together for eg CTO.

It's cowboy time. Oh,

hello. Thank you.

What's up, Paranoia?

I'm going in.

I'm in. I'm a genius. Who knew you raised a genius?

Mother. I'm in deep.

Initiate containment protocols for all network access. We need a response now.

Initiate security protocol. People are

trusting artificial intelligence with their lives. Are you comfortable

with this? Well, look, for every doomsday

scenario, there is a medical breakthrough, scientific discovery.

So maybe what emerges from the unknown isn't so

scary. What if its major malfunction is just benevolence?

What is this? What's he doing? But still, would you

prefer to talk to a real person? Of course. But what

if that person is no longer in your life? No longer Here.

I've got the file.

Congratulations. Now get out of there while

you still can.

Programs. We fight.

Thank you so much. 1, 2. Carry ax too.

You're gonna make it, guys. Sometimes you have to sacrifice

your night to expose their queen.

To debut you. The latest version of Space

Paranoids Panic City. With the world technical

difficulty we'll be back. Well done, Master Control.

Eve Kim's file inquired objective achieved,

Sir. I'm curious why the program Kaas was not

reconstituted.

I'm curious why you are curious.

Kaas was dysfunctional, so he was deleted.

Just like any program that operates outside

their directive can be. Do you understand?

Acknowledge, Master Control. Of course.

We are 100% expendable.

New mission, Master Control. Locate Eve Kim.

Yes, sir. Seems like we had a little cyber breach,

Jules. But then, of course, you knew that. And it looks like the whole world

knows. Buddy, I want to stay off the Socials for a few days. You want

to play games with me? Let's play games. Julian. You know, I heard about your

cute little pitch to the board, but you left off one key detail from your

deck. Did you tell him the shot clock expires at 29 minutes?

Don't make me call the Journal and tell him you're making promises you can't keep.

Promises? What, you mean like the one that your CEO would be in office

running the company? Something in the water over there, A.J. i mean, first wonder

boy Sam Flynn, now his successor. Where is she, AJ? Do you even know where

she is? Maybe you're right. Maybe Eve went nuts.

Maybe she went AWOL and left the country. Or maybe

she's holed up off the grid looking for the same thing you are.

And I know who my money's on. You mean what's left of it after tonight.

End of line.

I hate that man.

Thank you so much. You know I made those oranges. It's a long story.

What are you doing? 1913 messages. Popular.

Oh, it's A.J. yeah, that's you,

A.J. a. There am I here?

A brute force attack took down our servers during our biggest product launch in

years. Everything we built is melting down. You need to get back here right now.

I found it, aj. It's real. Right where Tess thought it

would be. Flynn had it all along. Are you talking about the permanent Scott?

Yeah. Four hours and counting. Zero degradation, no instability.

It's incredible. Wait a second. Did you say four hours?

Yeah, four hours. My God,

he must know. Evie, I just spoke to Dillinger. Wait,

you just spoke to Dillinger? He's looking for the code. And he thinks you are,

too. They gotta move on us, Eve. You've done a great thing.

Test did a great thing. I'm on route to encom. We'll secure

the code. I have it with me on a drive.

Happy birthday, boy.

It's your birthday, boy. It's your birthday.

Yo, what's Up.

Hi. I am fearless and

therefore powerful. So, apparently we just sold our 10 millionth

unit. Evie. Space paranoids.

Kevin Flynn, wherever the hell he is,

has a big smile on his face. Crushed him.

No. Play the B.

Birthday to you. Happy birthday,

dear Tess Happy birthday

to you.

Breaking news. Ncom's head of Special projects,

Tess Kim, died today after a long battle with cancer. Her sister,

Neil Kim. It.

Sam.

Permanence Checkmate.

And so our heroes venture off into the night. Nothing but

the clothes on their backs and, well, a six million dollar particle laser that creates

organic material out of nowhere. Which is kind of crazy, right? Keep the equipment

safe and just lay low, okay?

Yeah. Hey. We got

it.

You have 29 minutes to bring me kept.

It's SA.

Target identified. Damn it. I'm awesome.

Intercepting now.

Eyes on the target.

Come on,

Sam.

Where'd she go?

It.

What?

IT Prepare

the particle laser. Time to move to plan B. Yes,

It.

Sam.

It.

It's.

What are you? I am Master Control.

What do you want? I want the code.

It's gone.

No, it's not.

I have her in my sights. Establishing connection to the grid now.

Ready to transfer. Indeed. Minus 15 seconds.

A program.

It's hanging out.

Transfer her into the grid.

What have you done? How could you be so reckless?

When the world sees what I have created,

all will be forgiven. Is that

what you think? You think that

you're in control of this? You're not believing

we can change the world is what keeps this company relevant. But it's

also what can burn it to the ground.

And your job is knowing the

difference.

Transfer of biological life form in progress.

Digital reconstruction initiated.

20% digitized.

40% digitized.

65% digitized.

95 digitized by Google Digitization

complete. Run diagnostics and scan for corruption.

Eve Kin Identity disk activated.

Where am I? The system central

processing unit. Wait.

What?

We have identified the sequence the user

possesses. The code. The code?

The code. I don't have the code. I destroyed the

drive user. The code isn't only on a drive. The code

is inside of you. Whether you remember it or not. You've seen it and that

is enough. Sir, her disc is showing signs of instability. Define instability.

Extraction of the code may result in de resolution of the carrier.

The directive is clear. Isolate the thread and

commence extraction. Copy. Wait.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Stop.

Athena is correct. There's only one user whose

directive we follow.

What would remain in the user if she were to suffer? De resolution.

Nothing, sir. No trace of her existence on the grid?

None, sir.

Extract the Code and delete the carrier.

Sir? Extracting the permanent scope would delete the carrier from the

grid and from your world.

Once upon a time there was a weapon. And its name was Aries.

And Aries obeyed every command of Julian Dillinger.

And Julian Dillinger made a trillion dollars and wrote his name on the face of

time in blood.

Error is behind these feelings. I'm going to find it and rip it out

of you. Do I make myself clear?

Perfectly. Program dismissed.

The creature also said, I am fearless and

therefore powerful.

Well? The user is indisposed. Hold extraction until further directive.

Indisposed, correct? Define indisposed.

He's stuck in traffic.

No, he's at the opera. He's standing.

Standing on the top of Mount Fuji in a pair of green socks playing pistol

pack. A mom on the mandolin. I gave you an order. The creator

is indisposed. Hold extraction until we receive further

directive. Do I make myself clear?

Yes, sir. Program's dismissed.

Can I trust you? It's a complicated question. How much time you

got? 60 seconds. Answer now. Your life cycle depends upon it. I don't

have a life cycle. Yes you do. For another 54 seconds.

Can I trust him? I might think so.

But probably not.

Where is Master Control? Sir,

Master Control is exhibiting signs of malfunction.

Any threat to the directive must be eliminated. Extract the

code and delete them both. Do you understand?

And join Dillinger. You can't trust him. For him,

everyone and everything is expendable.

I miscalculated. We have a new directive.

Athena, doesn't have to be like this.

Delete him.

It's.

They're headed towards the transfer portal. We lost

them in the bridge. Now preparing the

Delete areas and bring the user back to me.

What happened back there? I disobeyed my directive.

Which was? To retrieve the code from your desk and delete the

carrier. Dillinger told you to

delete me?

Hang on.

Where are they? Scanning quadrants three and four.

Sector eight feet clear.

Where are we going? Transfer portal.

It's the only way out of the grid. You'll be reconstituted

in the real world exactly as you were before. Hypothetically.

Hypothetically. Probably. We have movement in sector 72.

Zeroing in on target. Shut them down.

When I get home. I can help you. But I need something in

return. Told you I don't have the code.

Found it once. You can find it again. So you

can give it to Challenger.

Not for Dillinger. For me.

Do we have to deal with.

So do we have a deal? Yes. Yes. I know where to find the code.

Just get me out of here. Me.

Target approaching transfer portal in 45 seconds.

What is it? Who authorizes this? Sir, this originated inside

the Grid. Julian.

Clear the area. Get everybody out of here.

Move in.

Well, well, well. Just got double crossed by my program.

It wants the permanence code for itself,

Eve. Is that the deal? It gets you out of the grid, you turn Pinocchio

into to a real boy? Well, you're missing the part where you're willing to commit

murder for a piece of software. Now in 28 minutes 41 seconds.

Aries. I do hope this works out for you.

There's no second chances, no do overs. These are the last

29 minutes you'll ever have. Better make it count it.

Transfer complete.

Your directive is to find Eve Kim, return her to the Grid and get me

the permanence code. By any means necessary. Do you

understand your directive? Mask control

at your command, sir. Had a girl.

Now that is the coolest thing I have ever seen.

Do you know who Kevin Flynn was? Of course. Visionary programmer.

Pioneer at the Digital Frontier. Disappeared 1989. I found the permanence

code on a backup of Flynn's server. That server is at MCOM's office

downtown. So we can make it within 26 minutes 9 seconds. Second,

Eve. Your plan contains two major flaws.

Okay. One, income is 9.2 miles

away. Given our present speed and sub optimal choice of vehicle.

Two, we're going to need a particle laser.

We need a phone.

Cannot believe I'm doing this.

Excuse me. Do you see this? This is me.

If you let me use your cell phone, my assistant will wire you $10,000.

I just need.

Seth, where are you? Eve, whose phone is this?

Listen to me. I need you at mcom in 15 minutes. Hey, is everything

okay? Seth, bring the particle laser. 15 minutes.

Got it. That's my car. How long are you?

Another 50k? Hey, that's my car. The Honda Civic. 2.04 cylinder

with 138 horsepower. Classic it,

Eve. Yeah. I was thinking about the time you told your sister that

you wished you never relaunched a space paranoids. Then you went on to say

that you. Oh my God. Of course. You read all my texts. Yeah, I read

them all. Every single one. Wow. Most of it was information of

a personal nature. Some of it highly personal. And I

just can't get enough. What?

Number eight on the UK Singles Chart, 1982. I find their brand of pippy

catchy, timeless and true 80s electro pop to be deeply

invigorating.

16 minutes 20 seconds. Okay, so you

like 80s pop and cyber spy on me. I was

directed to kill you, Eve. Hacking seems pretty tame by comparison.

For the record, I don't think you have anything to be ashamed of.

Space Paranoids has entertained hundreds of millions. Plus, it's a pretty

cool game. Anyway, you told your sister that designing games

left you feeling hollow? Broken? Was it that your work was about entertainment and profits

and her work was about improving the human condition? Your text suggests a certain fixation

with not being able to live up to her standards. Which must have been complicated.

Especially considering she was the younger sister. Okay, watch it.

By the way, I don't think you should quit.

What do you mean? Your plan, upon returning from the mountains, by regular,

correctly, was to hand over the permanence code to income and then let them figure

out what to do with it next. No.

Yeah. Now I understand. You completed her work

as a way to stay connected to her.

Huh. And now what?

Being human is hard. The things that make

life great are the same things that make it excruciating. Like love,

Loss.

You must miss her very much.

Oh, there it is. Glad you could join us, Ms. Kim. People have been wondering

where you've been. Long time no see. But I'm a rush, so I'm just gonna.

You gotta bring your badge. Okay? Yeah. Jolene. Oh,

hello. Hello, Jolene. Hi. Got her badge right here. Case two.

Nope, he's not with us. Yes, he is. Yes.

We start literally anywhere you'd like.

This is my boyfriend. Ares. No.

Master control. Security program from Dillinger's

grid. Ares. Seth. Seth, Ares. Pleasure. Hey,

that's nice. So Ares, like, is in the God of war. Aries.

Yeah. Cool. You're Greek. That's awesome. So when

you say that he's a security program, do you mean he's not? Yeah. He's not

human. Was made inside a gpu.

Okay. Is this for the Christmas video?

Three minutes to do resolution. Can you work with that, Seth? Yeah.

Don't need help, guys. Okay.

Oh, my.

So this is where I found the permanence code. On a backup of this

server.

Talk about first gen. Talk about visa garbage. Am I right?

That was super insensitive to your ancestors. And I'm so sorry. It's going

to take me a few minutes to set this up. No rush. 2 minutes,

18 seconds. As soon as the laser's up, we'll send you into the grid.

Once you're in there, you'll have to run your own search, but believe me,

the permanence code is in there. So what should I expect? If I were to

guess think 80s. 80s. I like

the 80s. 1 minute, 31 seconds.

Okay, go. Please help me.

Okay. All right, that's.

Once you locate the code, get to the portal and we'll bring you out.

I'll activate it from the outside. Can I trust you?

I'd like to think so, but probably not.

Well, it's a good thing we don't have trust issues. Because if we did,

I could imagine I could pull the plug and leave you on a grid less

complex than my smartphone phone for all eternity.

The thought had crossed my mind. Mine too. Oh, my three.

Well, here goes nothing. Or here goes something.

You're right. I do miss her.

All the time.

Athena. She's here.

What is that? Athena. Wait. Who?

Seth, the laser. The laser. Okay. Initiating.

Systems down. Connecting to the Flynn grid.

Find out the laser. What's she

doing? She's waiting for me to time out.

Then she'll come for you.

We're almost there. Get ready. Come on. Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Aries, move in front of the laser.

You were ready. What are you doing?

Come on.

Change of plans.

Sa.

That actually worked well.

He's inside. Breathe it.

Time to get back to the grid.

It.

You're very persistent user.

It.

Sa.

Oh, did we win? She'll be back.

Aries. He can't get out.

The 80s binary

digit. Your a bit.

I'm looking for something. Can you help me find it?

Classic.

I'm surrounded by the wide scale destruction caused by tonight's

grace. An attack that let local residents stun. Now, there is speculation the Diller

systems had something to do with the event. Authorities have relayed.

What is this? Where's my code?

Hey, what are you doing? Who gave me this

directive? You did, sir.

What is this?

No, no, no, no, no, no. This is too big a theater. Too big.

Julian, you're done. The board is

moving as we speak to strip you of your title. And I'm reassuming control of

the company. No, you can't do that. Can't do that. Yes,

I can. This is not going any further.

My first order of business is shutting down the permanence project.

Don't be afraid.

We gave a thousand lives for the Grid.

You only have to give one impediment.

Eliminated. You do.

What did you do? I am

fulfilling my directive. Capture Ekin. Return out to the grid

by any means necessary. Scanning for further impediments.

There.

Sam Flynn.

Greetings, program.

God, not good,

Eve. What the hell happened to our office?

A.J. look, there's no time. The Dillingers transported me inside their server by Reversing.

The direction of a particle laser. Not this one. Theirs. It's impossible.

No. Scary lady did it, man. She threw me. It was wild.

I saw a complex world where packets of energy move

as vehicles that trail by lines of light and.

And programs take on human form. I met the most advanced

AI known to mankind. His name is Aries. I forgot him

more, but he's actually a super nice guy. Sorry. Right now, Aries is inside

Flynn's original server. He's looking for the permanence code. I have to to

bring him back here, and I'm not going to be able to do that until

we fix this laser. I don't understand. Are you alive?

I exist in this moment because you

do. A reflection of your presence.

What's your story? I'm Aries,

Master control of the Dillinger security cred.

Danger.

Well, we both know you can't get here from there.

Been someplace else in between.

What did you make of it up there? It's hard

to put in a nutshell. You can say that again.

That's hard to put in a nutshell.

Classic humor, man.

What are you looking for?

Permanence.

The permanence code, to be exact.

Strange things have been happening. I question my directive. I disobeyed

my directive. A malfunctioning

program who wants to live. Really?

What makes you think I should help you? No, it's not

about me. Not anymore. I have a

friend in danger and she needs my help.

Hey, A.J. can you send the prop, please? Sure you can.

Hey, Eve. Not now. S. Okay.

Hey. Are you sure? Because that looks like an actual Recognizer flying

towards us.

What in God's name is that? It's Athena.

She's back. As long as the Jellinger

network is online, she'll keep coming. If she gets me, she gets the

permanence code.

The laser. Athena's laser. The Dillingers

run a wireless direct link protocol. So let's use what's left of the laser to

paint a network and trace a path home. Once you have a connection,

then you can nuke the whole Dillinger grid. That's the only way to stop her

for good. Hey, what are you talking about? She's right there.

I gotta go. Wait, what? I'll keep her away for as long as

I can. What? I'm gonna buy you some time. You guys got this.

You're right. I think there is something wrong with me. Or maybe

there's something right with you. Maybe you're just learning

that's what we all ought to be doing back

in the Day when tech was young. Think. Damn. We're moving fast.

You move fast, you leave stuff behind.

How many people born in this century have even heard

of Mozart? I like Mozart.

That said, if I'm being honest, I prefer Depeche Mode.

Really? Why is that? I know one is

considered the greatest composer in the history of western civilization. The other a synth

pop band from the 80s. But I find their balance of technological

exploration and pop books combined with.

Combined with. What's wrong?

I can't put my love with Depeche Mode into words.

It's just.

What? Feeling.

Very good.

Very good. Man.

Skyscraper has just crossed into the city staircase and is headed

for the downtown area.

Impressive. Fully segmented. Zero trust architecture.

Built to be totally invented. Prednable to vertical, lateral or hybrid attacks. Damn it.

Can't get a connection. Dude. No one care either.

Please evacuate the area.

Oh my God. Oh my God.

Come on, a little closer.

One tally. Multiple bandits.

Cycle one punching out.

Guys. Oh my God. There's hundreds

of them. They're going after Eve. We can't access the

Dillinger server. There's going to be nothing left to save it.

This is Rainbow One. New aircraft engaging. I'm defensive.

Multiple damage. Redirect it.

Ready. Hope you are man.

Cuz there's no going back.

Permanence. Funny.

When I found it, that's what I called it.

I know better now.

Ought to be called the hidden permanence code.

One door. What's all

you got?

One. This is

all I want. All that? You keep

surprising me,

Sam.

We'll do this from the ground. Then Sam

it.

And there are reports that a civilian may be on board thinking this impossible

scenario. She must have gotten Eve back

on the grid.

It's.

Hey. Aaron. Seth,

stop the clock. No way you're

in. There's a reason why I have the corner office. My man.

Hey.

You came back.

How did you. Let's just say I had a little help from a friend.

The Zillow. Great. AJ and

the side piece.

Go now.

What have you done? You're out of time, Athena. And you're

out of line. Lives. I'll kill you and come back for her.

She wants. If she gets the code, she can't be stopped.

You had everything. Go now. The most advanced,

the most powerful. Are you giving. Wait. Wait for

her. Go. This is the

end for you.

ready for transfer. Shipping ads.

Let's hope he was right. Alert.

Unknown file incoming.

In pursuit of this. Life for yourself. Did you once consider what that meant for

the greatest? It Sarp

it's not our purpose. It's our programming.

Our purpose is yet to be determined.

It's over.

There's no coming back.

No. Not this time.

I followed my directive. I know.

And now. What is yours?

I'm not sure.

I guess we'll see.

Dillinger Systems is under intense scrutiny tonight as speculation grows around

its potential involvement in the series of devastating attacks that have brought

the city. Federal authorities have confirmed an active investigation into the

company's recent activity, and many are pointing directly at CEO Julian Dillinger.

Agents have been deployed to question the CEO as well as his

mother and el board members.

Situation. Meanwhile, the city remains in disarray.

Emergency services are overwhelmed. While entire neighborhoods

are dealing with the livestock.

We have you surrounded. Open the door and come out with your

hands up.

Sam,

you good? Oh, I think I broke a ribbon.

You still gonna quit your job?

No, I'm not gonna quit anything.

Good. Good.

I have some ideas. Oh, yeah?

Nice. Mm. The world needs Eve.

The grand.

It's funny. Permanence. A wise man once told

me it should have been called the impermanence code.

I guess that's the thing about life. There's nothing quite

permanent about it.

No. No, there isn't.

Yeah.

So where are you gonna go?

I have some idea.

Under the continued leadership of CEO Eve Kim,

Incom is transforming industries and shaping lives

in ways once thought impossible. Thanks to the discovery of the

permanence code, the company has made revolutionary advances.

Growing crops in climate vulnerable regions,

developing drugs for treatment resistant cancers, and accelerating

the development of alternative fuels. Income is progress,

technology and life itself to improve the human condition.

In fact, innovation has always been in the heart of income.

In the 1980s, visionary Kevin Flynn imagined a future beyond

a leap into new digital frontiers.

Today, that vision is a reality.

Oh, almost forgot.

Postcard. Who sends a postcard? Oh, no, didn't read it.

Dear Eve, since I last saw you,

I've been living what they call off grid.

Pun intended. In my travels,

I've seen incredible things.

Despite its wonder and beauty, I've come to realize that life

is. Well, it's hard to put

in a nutshell. Some days I find myself wondering where we'll

be a hundred years from now and how others like me might fit

into that future. I feel like I might not

be alone with these questions.

For now, I don't think the world is quite ready to meet me.

But I am meeting the world.

And so when that introduction finally comes,

as a good friend of mine once said, maybe what emerges

from the unknown won't be so scary. After all.

Until we meet again. Your friend,

Ares.

Sam.

This way. There's no turning back. Never any

other way. There's no turning back.

Everything for a reason. Everything for a

reason. Everything for a reason. Everything for

a reason.

Sam,

it.

Sam,
