Are you still looking for that right person?

Are you tired of looking for love in all the wrong places?

Nexus, the number one dating service.

Call us now at no charge.

Let us match you with your someone special today. Please take a seat. I'll

right with you.

Welcome to Nexus. How may I help you? My name is Mr. Brown. I'm here to see Mr.

Roth. Is he in? One moment, please.

Mr. Roth, there's a Mr. Brown to see you. I don't know any Mr. Brown. Does he

have an appointment?

Did you have an appointment, Mr. Brown?

No. I'm a friend of a friend.

Tell Mr. Roth Mr. Brand sent me.

He said to tell you Mr. Brand sent him.

Tell Mr. Brown I'm unavailable.

Tell him I left the building.

I'm sorry. Mr. Roth isn't available at this time. Would you like...

Hello, Mr. Roth. This isn't supposed to happen.

I have a message from the people at Recall.

Hold on.

Any luck?

No. It's completely clean. The killer or killers know exactly what they were

doing. This crime scene has been sanitized.

Let me know if you'll find anything.

Yeah.

One moment, please.

Mr. Roth, the office manager.

Why go to all this trouble just to whack the manager of a dating service?

There is an uncharacteristic protrusion in the zygomatic arch above the right

mandible.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Yes. And I am taking this out of his.

Thank you.

Careful out there.

I'll see you tonight.

Okay.

You've got to get me out of here, David. I gave it a chance, but I'm beginning

to feel like a caged animal again.

I did not agree to take a cup full of pills. I did not agree to let them dope

into a stupor. I don't want to feel drugged. I want to feel alive.

That was your dad?

Yeah.

I don't think he likes this place anymore than he liked the last place.

Do you think he would like to come and stay with us for a while?

Yeah, he wouldn't mind.

Mind? You get to ask him about all your old girlfriends.

Get the unedited version of what they were really like.

I gotta go to work.

You call Dad's doctor and I'm gonna start the paperwork.

Let me take care of it.

Okay,

people, listen up.

The dead man, Roth, had on his person a concealed list identical to the

implanted person's list we found on Robert Krochek.

With recent events at Nexus, it is imperative that we recontact all 56

on Krochek's list so that we can determine if any of those people had a

connection with Roth or if any of them had motive to kill him.

Divide up the list.

I don't think I have to stress the urgency of this matter.

With what we know so far, as far as the assessor's office is concerned, there's

no connection between recall and the killings.

Any sign there is should be reported to me immediately.

Morales, you stay with Favre on this one. Hume, I want you with me.

Hi, my name's... Simon, I've been single for, ooh, about two months now. I'm

a little nervous about calling Nexus because, you know, like I need a dating

service.

The kind of person I'm interested in has to be it.

Hi.

I downloaded the Roth disk. I reformatted and defragged it. It has 60

like this one.

Same as the people on Crocek's list.

But I found a 61st name on the disk.

One that was purposefully erased from the original list.

Hello, my name is Carol.

I've been single for almost a year.

What do you say at a time like this?

Call me?

There, I said it.

Is this a joke?

As far as we know, that's the woman you know as Olivia Hume.

She's being interviewed as a candidate for the next dating service.

David, I'm sorry.

This seems crazy to me, too, but we've got to get Olivia in here to do a brain

scan to make sure she hasn't got an implant like the rest of the people on

list.

Callie said she wasn't on the list.

She wasn't.

We need to be sure.

We don't know, but everyone here is doing everything they can to find out.

David, there's something else.

She's really a man?

This gif was embedded on every file on the desk as if it were meant to be

Now here's the same gif blown up to its original size.

We haven't identified the man on the left.

Of course, that's Robert Kowalczyk on her right.

So, pictures can be manipulated.

First she's on Kowalczyk's list, then she's off, and now she's back on it. Why

are you believing this? It appears Olivia's name was erased from the list.

We need to know why.

And as difficult as that's going to be for you, you have to talk to her. We

to do the scan.

For what?

You want to run tests for this?

David, Olivia is my friend, too.

And this test is for her safety.

There's got to be another one.

There isn't.

Not to be sure.

Now I can be there when you talk to her.

Explain the medical procedure, the brain scan, whatever's involved.

Okay.

You're going to be wrong.

Okay.

I won't do it at her work.

Give me a chance to call her. Okay.

Okay.

There's no implant.

I went there before, and I ain't going there again without more proof than what

I just saw. All right. The way these implants work, if she has an implant,

memory of Carol will be completely suppressed. She'll have no idea, and the

way to prove it is through these tests.

Hey, I picked up Dad. I thought you might be busy later. He did.

He knew about this, right?

Yeah, yeah. He's overcome with happiness.

Whoops. There's that look.

There's something he hasn't told you.

David. I'm sorry. My father, Tyler Hume. Olin Chang, CPB medical officer.

You're a doctor.

Sorry, I don't like doctors.

Don't worry.

David, what's wrong?

I don't even know where to start. David, why don't you let me handle it?

What's going on?

Olivia, we need you to come into the CPP lab for some imaging work.

A CAT scan.

A CAT scan?

What for?

Why? This is going to sound crazy, so I'm just going to come out and say it.

There's a possibility that you may have been given a brain implant.

It's not a certainty.

What are you talking about? That's ridiculous. Your name was on a list.

of verified implant victims we recovered from Nexus.

The dating service.

What else?

There was an interview where you referred to yourself as Carol.

And a photograph of Carol and Krochek and this other man.

Um, this is not me.

Is it? This woman barely looks like me.

I mean, look at her hair. Have I ever worn my hair like this? I know, it's

crazy.

But I still need you to come in for the test.

Maybe this happened before we met.

Maybe this happened before you and David met.

Owen, I don't know anything about Nexus, okay?

And I don't know about this Carol woman.

David, come here.

You don't believe this, do you?

No.

No, I don't.

Well, it's just human. I'm all right. We'll take the test. We'll show.

I would know.

I would know if there was an implant in me.

Wouldn't I?

No, wait. Somebody's got to stay with Dad.

I'll take care of him.

I'll be damned.

Your mother and I used to have a place with a big stone hearth when we started

out, back when they had real firewood.

Might as well turn it off, David. It's not doing any good.

You want some of that tea or something? Yeah, I'd love some. You ever see this?

Before you were born.

I went to Mars when I got out of the service.

It was a wide open territory then, a real frontier.

A little difficult for your mother at first, but you never really did tell me

why you left Mars.

Stupidity. Some company on Earth offered me a lot more money. It seemed like a

good idea at the time. We needed it. You were on the way.

But all I did was sit behind a desk eight hours a day.

After being out of the field at Mars, I really felt alive out there.

And your mother got sick.

I don't know.

I guess a lot of me died with her.

What's this?

Warm water with some color in it? When's Olivia coming back?

Soon, Bob. You let that lady doctor take her, didn't you?

I trust her. She's a... Never trust doctors, David.

They do things to you.

They did things to me in that place.

Have you seen my book anywhere?

It was right here.

Damn it.

They took my book again. I need that book.

This is your home now.

As long as you need it to be.

Thank you.

David, if you love her, just be there for her.

It's all you can do, son.

The good thing about this test is the results are conclusive.

So we'll know everything we need to know a few minutes after we're done.

Are you scared?

Yeah. I'll be right here.

You told him she wasn't on the list.

She wasn't.

Have you identified the man in the photo with Olivia and Krochek?

Not yet.

But the Assessor's Division has given a top priority. We're looking at every

possibility.

Including the possibility that he and Krochek may have worked together within

Recall's security apparatus.

You'll keep me posted?

As soon as I know you will.

This man's implant was successfully removed after Krocheck's list was

discovered. He still retains the memory of his life before the implant, and he

may give us a link to Roth there.

I was browsing through my e -com. It was a promotional campaign.

They offered me a free recall holiday.

That's why I joined Nexus Dating.

Sir, can you identify this man?

Roth. Joseph P., Nexus Dating Employee, ID number

77891305. Like I said, the name sounds familiar, but I can't place it.

Like a lot of things from my past.

He and several other Nexus employees were murdered today.

Yeah. I saw something about that on the vids. If you're expecting me to be

sympathetic, well, I'm not.

I understand how you must be feeling, sir.

But anything you can remember would help us a great deal.

Anything at all.

Can you play his voice for me one more time?

Give me Callie. Assessor's division.

Hold it.

Are you sure?

It's the same as the others, yes.

I'm sorry, David.

I... I want to talk to her.

Okay.

David, whatever you're feeling right now, we have to act fast to treat

medical condition, okay?

I want to talk to her.

Olin said she knows the neurosurgeon at Mercy Hospital where the other implants

were removed.

She's the best.

When... When can she get you in?

Right away.

Today.

You need anything?

Just you.

Lieutenant, I think we have a break in the Nexus case.

Let's hear it.

We have been able to account for all the implant subjects except one.

Bradley Brown, an investment consultant, unmarried, presently on leave.

No explanation given.

Hi.

My name is Bradley.

Most people call me Brad.

I think a talk with Mr. Brown is in order.

He lives in Sector 8.

Yeah. I'll key in his address on the way.

Mr.

Brown! This is the CPB. Open the door.

Subliminal.

We should be able to find him. That alley's a dead end.

You can't have gone that far. Start a perimeter search. Come on.

I'm looking for my wife, Olivia Hume. Yeah, she's in 6130. The doctor's in

her right now. 6130. Thank you.

David, she's in with a surgeon right now, but you could probably go in

What is all that?

I don't know.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That's my wife. Yeah, I know. She's had an

embolism. What caused it? I don't know. Somehow the implant has become unstable.

We're going to prep her for immediate surgery.

Surgery? Yeah, it's okay.

Everything's going to be fine.

Okay, let's go. Come on.

Thanks.

Sure.

Mr. Hinn. Yeah?

He was touching gold for a while. Soft implants are... Hard to extract.

But the embolism is stabilized and she's out of danger. So now it's up to her.

Can I see her?

Well, she's in post -op now.

After a surgical procedure like hers, the recovery period can be lengthy.

She'll wake up when she's ready.

What about the implant?

It's located midway to the frontal lobe.

This goes back to the CPB lab? Of course.

Thank you.

I'll see you back at the bureau.

The operation went okay.

How about you?

I'm fine.

You never could lie to me, son.

Maybe when you should have.

Get that look in your eye.

When you used to get when you were ten years old, you wouldn't let anybody draw

you out, no matter how hard they tried.

That look.

I think you get it from your mother.

She was stubborn, too.

Mom could always get to me.

She could.

God, I miss her.

I miss her too, Pop.

If you two have what your mother and I had.

Surgeon said the implant was placed in the frontal lobe that's consistent with

some sort of control device.

Good morning.

Good morning.

How is Olivia?

She's improving.

Thanks. I'm glad to hear it.

I need to know more about this implant.

You got anything?

Mm -hmm.

Olivia's implant is a control device, like the others removed from the people

the Roth list.

It's designed to block out short - and long -term memory.

Also, there's a communication module set to receive signals.

What kind of signals?

If I am correct, David, and Mr. Brown have the same type of implant, they're

being used to create automatons, persons whose actions are not controlled by

their own will and intelligence.

The question is why.

You.

Got a second?

The man in the photo with Olivia and Crocek is Jack Brandt.

He works for Recall.

As did Crocek. They both worked on the sublimator program together.

The file was protected with an extremely high -level security code. That's why

it took us this long to make the match on him.

Let's bring him in.

Already in the works.

Men from the Assessor's Division are at Recall now. If everything goes as

planned, we should have Brandt in custody in a few minutes.

If everything goes as planned?

We are on the same side, Detective.

I get him first.

I don't have a problem with that.

Fine.

We've all seen the photo.

Get whatever answers you need.

But at the end, we do need his testimony and his cooperation.

You may or may not have heard there was a multiple homicide at Nexus Dating

Service. I heard about it, yes.

I told the men who arrested me I have no idea how it has anything to do with me.

No?

One of the victims was the office manager, Roth.

Do you know him?

I know a lot of people.

The reason why you're here is there was a disc found on his body.

A disc that contained a list of names of people who had responded to a

promotional campaign run jointly by Nexus and Recall.

We did a lot of campaigns, Detective.

Yeah?

How many of them involve brain implants?

None.

May I have some water, please?

Have a look at this.

Well, I'll help you see. That's you.

And that's Robert Krochek. You worked with him at recall.

We worked together, yes.

But then you know that already.

Do you recognize the woman?

Yes. Yes, it was a long time ago.

How long?

Seven years.

Do you have a particular interest in her?

Last time I checked, I was asking the questions.

We know about Crocek.

Who is she?

I can give you a lot of information, Detective.

What do I get in return?

In return for your full testimony, the people above me are prepared to offer

protective custody.

I need a woman in this picture.

Krocek introduced us. He was the recruiter. He looked for good candidates

the implants, people whose prospects...

within their chosen fields might make them valuable in the future.

Why her in particular?

A young robotics wizard, an honor student of the bright future?

She fit the profile perfectly.

I think she and a couple of her girlfriends just came in on a dare.

But once she was in the system... After the

interview, I tried to take her name off the list.

I had to do it secretly so that Rico wouldn't know what I was up to.

I even had her move to the end of the list, hoping we wouldn't get that far.

Unfortunately, we did.

Why?

Why would you do that?

I knew what was going to happen to the people on the list.

I didn't want it to happen to her.

Who else knew?

Who knew?

Roth at Nexus.

The implantations were done there.

So Rico could keep their hands clean.

There was a time, once in the very beginning, I could have said no.

And this photo never would have been taken, and we never would have met.

But I was too young and too ambitious.

Once you don't say no to them, they've got you.

They? Who's they?

Roth was trying to find out. Krochek and I, we knew better than to ask.

After what happened to Krochek, Roth must have kept this picture as

He knew just like I did. We were all being watched day in, day out.

And you don't know who to trust.

Information is your only ally.

What did he have on you?

Huh? What do you have on you? What is... What is one photo proof?

Rod found out I was trying to protect her.

He knew he could get to me through her.

Why protect her?

Why go to all that trouble if she doesn't mean anything to you? She

Olivia's the only

reason I'm doing this.

detective.

What'd you just say?

What'd you just say?

She wasn't always your wife.

She used to be Carol.

And I was in love with her.

You understand?

I loved her as much as any man could.

As much as you.

You all right?

I just need a minute.

Take it in the lab. I need to show you something old and found.

The device has a chemical release mechanism as well as a cerebral

So this would affect not only the memory, but the regulatory area of the

as well.

A person with such an implant could be programmed for any behavior.

There is no doubt that Mr. Brown has one of these implants.

We know all of the people on Roth's list have a similar implant.

Now, in Olivia's case, the position of the release mechanism was slightly

altered.

And I think that Olivia was activated.

If it was, removing it may have caused irreparable damage.

You need me right now, Detective. Having me with you is the best chance you've

got to find out what you need to know before somebody above me takes the case

away. No one's taking it away.

Oh, really?

If this case leads to the person above Brandt and Krochek, you can be sure this

is about to get bigger than either of us can hold down.

I know about implants.

I know the history. I can ask the right questions and verify the answers. You

can't.

You need me.

He knows everything.

You don't know what you're going to do in there, do you?

Your future's in my hands, Mr. Brandt.

Now, Olivia's device had been activated. Did you know that?

Yes.

Those implants were a prototype, devised as an early form of recall travel, a

method subsequently abandoned.

They hoped to implant a kind of micro -sublimator, activated at will by the

implantee.

Our information is that whole area of research had to be closed down.

I don't know for sure, but each...

The implants was given a special sublimator. That I do know.

Mr. Brandt, the implants were a control device.

Why would Recall want to control these particular people?

The list was composed of people with few family connections.

Krochek and I got their names from Roth for that specific reason.

It was easier to change their identities.

The beauty of it for Recall was that people didn't even know it was

them or even that they were being controlled.

Why was Olivia's activated now?

She needed help.

When she was out of danger, then I could try and save myself.

She's still in danger.

I had no choice, detective.

I had to activate it to protect her.

You see, I was her control.

It was the only way.

I could protect her during those seven years.

Until... Crocek was ordered to clean up any evidence the program existed.

That's when I had her name deleted from the files.

I didn't know about Roth's copy of the disc.

And because of it... You get the only thing in life I ever wanted.

When we were married, did you see her?

Did you see her?

No.

Not the entire time she was your wife.

Now let's get to the good stuff.

Brandt accepted protective custody. He'll testify against recall.

What about Brown?

Farve is out there running down all we've got.

Brandt couldn't give me anything more. I don't think he knows.

Him?

He found out what he needed to.

There's been no change.

If she so much as moves a muscle, I'll call you.

Come on now, you're as bad as your father.

Just let me look after her at least until she wakes up.

How are you doing?

I'm okay.

She's still out there.

They said it could be a while.

Yeah, that's what they told me.

Let's get out of here.

Get out of here where?

Come on.

I'll show you my new place.

Dad?

What do you play?

After we talked the other day, I started thinking about the old neighborhood.

The old neighborhood?

Yeah. Back when I was your age, this was a nice part of town. It's where your

mother and I started out.

Not much now, but I'll tell you that.

It was great.

Here we are.

Here?

Place that looks like it was built in the last century.

It was.

Okay, ready.

Ta -da.

What do you think?

I think we can do better.

I don't.

Good area, good people.

Friendly? Mind your own business?

This neighborhood's not safe, Don. Well, maybe you'll have to drop by and check

in on the old man once in a while.

I'm going to stay, David.

Reminds me of the old days with your mother.

The dreams we had.

What does that mean?

Seeing you and Olivia...

I realize how proud I am of you, how proud your mother would have been.

I feel... What?

Makes you feel what?

I don't know.

Alive.

And whatever there is left in this old fart, I'd like to share it with the two

of you.

Get things by later.

how is she she was staring a bit thank you

David Hill.
