Well, thanks for the information. I appreciate it.

There's no chance a mistake could have been made.

Misreading. Human error. It happens.

Oh. Well, that sort of proves that out then, doesn't it?

So this really is reality.

Mr. Secretary, your car.

Please, thank you.

Eddie, let's take the parkway.

Okay, buddy. Final offer, non-negotiable. For every buckle-down

hour you give Algebra 2, you get two of quality time with Nintendo and Sega.

Deal?

Just whatever you do, don't tell your mother.

Good. Now, put her back on.

Okay, hon.

Number one, son. Back on the straight and narrow.

Me?

Fine. Just needed a little field trip to clear the head.

Bit of a nightmare day.

I'll see you in a bit.

You bet.

I love you, Liz.

This is a very dynamic game, Mr. Dupina.

You can be honest, Angela. This game is as bloody as it gets. But believe me,

the kids will eat this up.

But first, you've got to tell me what keeps crashing the damn thing.

Well,

you have been virus, Mr. Dupina, and also a very nice one.

You are the best.

I knew it would come. So what should we do?

Well... Don't think about hitting the escape key on any of your systems for a

while. One keystroke will wipe out your whole system.

I don't know how these things happen. You know, I just ordered that security

program last week. What's it called?

Gatekeeper? Well, that's what they all say.

Did you install it?

Absolutely, the minute we got it.

I think.

Not to worry. Everything's under control. It's going to be okay.

You're the best, Angela. Now, do you think we'll be able to get this back in

stores by week's end?

Absolutely. Everything but the virus.

A friend of mine collects them.

I don't know. Some people say string.

You are a genius, Angela. I can't thank you enough.

Well, you might think differently once you get my bill from Cathedral.

Look, whatever it is, it's worth it.

Angela, I'd love to show you my appreciation.

Take you out to dinner tonight, some drinks, get you out of the house.

Oh, I'm very flattered and appreciative, but I... You gotta eat.

Uh, it's... Unfortunately, I already have dinner planned, so... How about

tomorrow? The next day.

Um, these plans are kind of a standing arrangement, but I appreciate it.

Thank you. Look, you're still the best, Angela. I'll speak to you soon. Thanks.

Bye-bye. Bye now.

Hello?

I was feeling

kind of seasick.

Crowd called out for more.

The room was home.

As the ceiling flew away

Come on, talk like that, Iceman, could lead to the eventual extinction of our

species.

My sympathies exactly, Angel.

Let's have a date and procreate. Not me.

Two days, I'm off on vacation.

Just me, Beach, and A.

I'm there, babe.

Look no further.

Billiard. Captain America meets Albert

Schweitzer. Spends all day dashing

into prey while making world safe for

democracy. Tonight, playing Bach cantatas.

Yeah,

I know.

It's beautiful.

It's beautiful.

I love Chopin.

You know this piece?

Well, I should. You taught it to me.

I brought you something.

Just don't let the nurses eat it all this time.

My favorite?

How did you know?

Do you want to?

We could play together.

Now, I'm going on vacation for about a week to the Yucatan.

If for any reason you need to get in touch with me, I don't know if they have

phones there, but you can talk to one of the nurses and they'll... You must be

one of my students.

No, Mom, my name's Angela.

Can you bring me some candy when you come again?

My favorites are those... Almond roca.

Angela Bennett.

Who is it?

FedEx. Come in.

Hi.

Line five, please.

Oh, I have another one going out. Okay, here you go, ma'am. Thanks.

And here's your virus, Dale.

Can I use your pen? Yeah, sure.

It's a nice place.

Thanks.

Have a nice day, man

Mozart's ghost! The hottest band on the internet!

Cathedral

Software.

Joe Hesman, please.

Hello. Hi, it's Angela.

Angela? FedEx Ship Software had you signing for that disc three minutes ago.

What took you so long?

Well, I was having way too much fun with this Mozart's ghost.

By the way, I sent you a whopper of a virus for your Hall of Fame.

Just be a little careful with the escape button.

Look, here's the problem.

Pop yourself into concert information.

All right.

Houston Utilities. Dale, I think you took a wrong turn here.

Not quite ticket master, is it?

See anything unusual?

No, looks like a normal web page to me, except for that little icon at the

bottom of the screen.

Click on it and then press Control-Shift.

My God.

So, what do you make of all this?

Simple. It's a programming glitch.

It's just a futz keystroke that sent you the wrong internet address, that's all.

Last night it sent me to Amtrak Central Mainframe and then the Mayo Clinic,

neither of them on the same subnet.

Angela, I've accessed a system I shouldn't have.

If someone gets a hold of that disc, they'd have an awful lot of power.

So why don't you just crawl in there, find the program error, and delete it?

Not quite ready to do that yet.

Look, uh, what's your day like tomorrow?

Oh, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm going on my first vacation in six years.

Just made my reservation and confirmed that there are no refunds. What time's

your flight?

Twelve, but I have to pack.

I'm gonna be a complete madwoman. Why don't you just wait till you're back?

I don't think so.

Come on, why don't you just tell me what this is about?

Look, I'd rather not on the phone.

Look, I can fly down tonight on my Cessna, be there by breakfast. We'd have

five hours.

Angela, you know this shit better than anyone.

Fine.

Fine, fine, fine. I'll see you at seven.

Great. Great.

So, they finally get to meet.

I'll be the tall guy.

I'm going to be the one with the spineless simp tattoo to her forehead.

Bye. Bye. See you tomorrow.

Why do I do this?

Burbank Tower, Cessna 739, Mike Bravo, intercepting approach course

ILS runway 8.

39 Mike Bravo, we've lost radar contact.

Say your position and altitude.

Uh, just passing the middle marker at 1,300 feet.

3-9 Mike Bravo, that's a negative. Verify your position and check your

instruments. All normal for crying out loud. You must be able to see my lights.

That's a negative.

Execute a missed approach immediately.

Contact approach control on 124.5. Okay, Burbank, but still, everything looks

okay.

Shit!

Cathedral software.

Hi, Russ Melbourne, please. Yes, one moment, please.

Mozart's ghost!

Russ Melbourne here. Hi, it's Angela.

Angela, I thought you'd be long gone.

No, I was actually getting ready to leave. That's why I'm calling. Good, I'm

glad you're still going, but when you get back, we need to talk.

Now, um, we're really desperately short of your genius up here. Oh, please, I'm

far from being a genius, Russ. Especially with a room full of people

looking over my shoulder.

But we've talked about this before. Listen, that's not the reason I called.

Just think about it, will you?

The honchos up here aren't gonna let me pick up someone new to replace Dale on

such short notice, not with all the security breaches we had in the past.

Replace Dale. Okay.

What, you're kidding, right?

Oh, God, I'm sorry. I thought you'd heard.

What? What happened?

Angela, Dale's dead.

His plane crashed last night outside L.A.

He... I just talked to him yesterday. He was coming to see me.

It puts things in perspective, doesn't it?

Well, let's talk when you get back, huh?

And try to have a good vacation.

Okay, I'll talk to you soon, Russ.

Plenty of time, Suze, plenty of time. Ain't nothing coming in or going out for

the last hour.

Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please.

A blood test taken last week at Bethesda Naval Hospital did, in fact, reveal that

Undersecretary of Defense Mike Bergstrom was infected with the AIDS virus.

Bergstrom, well known for his opposition to gay service. Oh, yeah, just, you

know, all these people.

No, I meant, are you okay with your soda?

Would you like a refill?

Oh, no, I'm fine. I've had three already.

One more, I'll probably be able to fly myself to Mexico.

It looks like you won't have to.

Enjoy your flight.

Waiter? I'd like a Gibson, please.

It's a martini with an onion instead of an olive.

Is that okay?

Thanks.

Excuse me?

Could I have one too, please? Claro.

I'll take mine up at the bar.

Didn't think anybody else drank those anymore.

I guess I'm not as unfashionable as I once thought I was.

Is that business or pleasure?

Is there a difference?

It's not a great deal if you're a hacker.

It's a nice piece of hardware.

I assume you're in the business.

Isn't everybody?

Nope.

God, we're pathetic, aren't we?

Excuse me?

Well, we're here.

We're sitting on the most perfect beach in the world and...

All we can think about is whether... Or can I hook up my modem?

Yeah, exactly.

Um... I'm Jack Devlin.

And Angela Bennett.

Angela? Mm-hmm.

Hi.

Uh-oh.

most embarrassing secret.

You know Breakfast at Tiffany's?

Very well. It's my favorite film.

Right. I pretty much wore out my membership renting it. You know what I'm

talking about. When I was about 13, I had this sort of

identity crisis.

I used to think I was one of the characters.

You thought you were Audrey Hepburn?

No, I used to think I was the cat.

The cat?

And I'd sit there and I'd play out the last scene of the movie. I'd just play

it over and over again.

You know the last scene? Yes, I know the last scene, yes. Out in the pouring

rain, out in the alleyway, and I'm soaked to the bone and I'm scared.

And I'm...

That's it.

Would you

have

dinner with me tonight?

Come on, it's your last night.

You know what?

I would, I would, I would actually really love to.

Hey.

It's a company park.

Yeah, this is a company park?

Yeah. Some park.

I think I got a calendar when you're from Cathedral.

Where are you from? Colorado.

Yes, it has to be. Um, eastern.

Maybe it's the southeastern part of the state.

The teeming metropolis of La Junta, population 15. La Junta?

That's pretty good.

Yeah, Junta. Wow, is my accent that strong after all these years?

No, it's just a trick I do.

Oh.

Why after all these years? How long have you been gone?

Oh, boy. Um...

Seems like a lifetime.

See, I was, uh... I was 15, going on 10, and we moved from

La Junta to San Jose, Tulsa, um... So your father got transferred a lot?

No, not really, no. He, um... I don't know, he just, you know, he just

transferred out one day.

What? What are you looking at?

You?

Me.

Computer's your life, aren't they?

Yes. Perfect hiding place.

Nice meeting you. Yeah, okay.

I have one or two other interests I have. Oh, yes, such as?

What's your speciality in computers?

Oh, um, anything, pretty much. Beta testing mostly, but pretty much

anything.

It's way over my head, I'm afraid.

No, no, I just... You just... You just go into people's systems, you find their

faults, and you fix it, that's all.

What happens if they don't have any faults?

Don't believe I've met one yet.

Must be a bit cold.

Not really.

Yeah.

What?

What goes around here?

What more?

Oh, God, I used to smoke this.

But you quit, right?

Mm-hmm.

Well, I refused you.

I reckon you've got to try a few things in life without a safety net.

How was he going to know you were alive?

Well, I take my share of risks.

I don't always floss.

I rip the tags off my pillows when they're new.

I kind of wouldn't. Yeah, well.

Been any adventurous?

I don't know.

What did you have in mind?

Dare you risk it?

Oh! Shit!

My purse!

It's not here.

It's not an hotel.

I look everywhere.

So I come here, I do like you say, whoosh, like magician.

Oh, yeah.

You're the midget Houdini.

Then, okay, I'm in dinero.

God, I had everything in that bag. I had my passport. I had my credit cards. I

had... Ow. Sorry.

Sorry.

Thanks for doing this.

Well, you're the one bleeding to death. I am the one crying about my MasterCard.

I apologize for having been a jerk.

What do you mean?

I'm the jerk.

I'm trying to impress you.

Well, for future reference...

You should know that the living tend to interest me just a little more than the

dead do.

Yeah? Yeah.

I suppose that's quite healthy.

Look,

I suppose we ought to try and call up the Cancun police on the ship to shore.

Okay.

It's not working.

We'll have to head further out.

Well, you can head out to Morocco for all I care. It's beautiful out here.

How we doing?

Still no dice.

I'm just going down below.

I won't be a minute.

Maybe we didn't go out far enough.

No, this should do it

Tonight's

been so out of control, huh?

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but this isn't exactly my style.

I thought you liked taking risks.

Well, yes, but I mean, you know what I mean.

What?

You know, first date, sex, one night stand, that sort of thing. Yes, that

sort of thing.

You've always been a relationship kind of girl.

Absolutely, both times.

So when was the last time?

Um, 1933.

Oh, I see.

And who was he, your college boyfriend?

Yeah, I bet he was the... He was the captain of the drinking team.

I wasn't ready for a relationship.

I wish I had been that lucky.

No, it was my shrink, actually.

You know the story.

I thought I was lonely, and he forgot he was married.

That's okay. It didn't last very long.

And my mom developed Alzheimer's, and then so it was really...

You know what?

I'm gonna shut up right now.

I'm just gonna be quiet.

It's okay.

No, actually, it's me who doesn't want to hear it.

Sorry, I'm just... I'm rambling a little bit, I think, because I'm a little

nervous.

You want a drink?

Oh, yes, I'd be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

So, what's this for?

It's, uh... It's for shark fishing.

Shark fishing?

With a silencer?

Yeah.

You certainly seem to know your ordinance.

Colorado, you grow up with guns.

Yeah.

So...

Who are you, Jack?

Who am I?

Who am I?

I'll tell you who I am. I'm Captain Goddamn America meets Albert Schweitzer.

That's who I am.

Isn't that what you always wanted?

Yeah, it is. I remember. It was, um, butch.

Beautiful.

Brilliant. Spends all day dashing into the fray, fists flying.

Now, sorry, I don't know any, uh, organ cantatas. Was that it?

And if you'll excuse me, it's time to make the world safe for democracy.

Where's the clip?

Give me that.

Bitch.

Somebody, I need help. Somebody.

Hello, somebody.

Please, somebody, I need help. Somebody.

Please.

Okay, where are you?

Shocking.

Rita, tuvo un accidente.

What? No.

How did I get here? Lo siento, no hablo inglés. How did I get here?

A fisherman found you. He brought you here.

You were very lucky they came by.

How long have I been here?

Three days.

Try not to talk to Martin.

Oh, we found a man's wallet filled with pesos and a lot of U.S. dollars. We

tried to contact him. No, no, no, he... No, no, no, there was no luck.

Finding this man there was Disc green green square plastic

disc. Oh, yes. Yes The disc was ruined by the Sun You

relax now get well I need Look at you now. You haven't

got the string My clothes how much do I owe you please? You have to rest

I need my clothes.

I have to go. I just need my clothes.

Hi, I

need... Wall Street panic when stock prices appeared to tumble at a rate

reminiscent of the Black Tuesday crash.

Officials suspended trading when it became clear that the losses were

fictitious and caused by computer pranksters when obscene messages

appeared on the Dow Jones sticker. Wall Street expects to open tomorrow with its

computers protected by Greg Microsystems' latest security program,

aptly nicknamed the Gatekeeper.

So what about that prank downtown?

Pranks? Short-sheeting someone's bed is a prank. These pranktorians could have

done serious damage to our economy. I mean, just as the actions recently at

LAX... No, I'm sorry.

Angela Bennett checked out last Saturday night.

No, no, sorry. You don't understand.

I'm Angela Bennett.

I'm standing right here. I didn't check out. No, I'm sorry. It's not on the

computer here.

Let me check one more thing.

On a lighter note, a drug raid in Detroit, Michigan... No, Angela Bennett,

she checked out last Saturday night.

No, I didn't check out. I would know if I checked out. I didn't check out.

According to the computer checked out, there's nothing I can do for you, okay?

I'm sorry.

Excuse me, sir.

Step in, sir, please.

That room is fine. We'll take it.

Excuse me.

There you go. Thank you.

Please dial your card number again now.

The card number you have just dialed is not valid.

Ms. Marks?

Please dial your card number again now.

Ruth Marks?

Excuse me.

Are you Ruth Marks? No.

You're not the woman who's here about a temporary visa?

No, I am here about a visa, but is your social security number 915301717?

You live at 407 Finley Avenue, Venice, California?

Yeah. Well, then according to the computers of the California Department

of Motor Vehicles, you're Ruth Marks.

So, if that's who you are, you need to sign your name there and we'll issue

your visa.

But I'm not... You're not.

What?

I'm not clear about something.

Without this, I can't get back into the United States. Is that correct?

That's correct.

So, all I would have to do is just sign Ruth Marks?

Right there.

Oh, my God.

Hey, hey, where you running? Don't run. Take your time. Relax.

My name is Stan Whiteman, Whiteman Realty.

Come on in. Let me show you around.

You'll like it.

Oh, I definitely saw her move out. Okay, when was this?

Three days ago.

Moving van, moving men, furniture.

No, no, no, no. I've been in Mexico for over a week now. How could I be in L.A.

selling my house at the same time? Try it once in your house to sell.

It's not her, I'm telling you. It's not Angela Bennett. Please, sir, calm down.

I am Angela Bennett.

Please, the real Angela Bennett had the deed in the mortgage papers. Come on.

I got 20,000 into computers over here. I checked every record. It's not her.

Look, ma'am, it would help everything if you could just produce some form of

identification. You know what? I agree with you. I agree with you. But, Iz,

I've told you 1,000 times already today that I had everything stolen in Cozumel.

Oh, please.

That's how she got across the border without a passport.

I had a temporary issued.

Did they do that?

This is ridiculous.

Here. Here it is. This is it. It's just that it's under a different name.

Why is that?

Because they think I'm not me.

Is this your signature?

Well, no. It's my handwriting, but I just signed the different name that they

gave me. It's a federal offense to forge a visa.

Oh, really? It is. And what is it to steal an entire house?

Here, Mike. You want to run this? We'll be right back.

You know what? You know what? It's not going to make any difference because

what they've done is they've screwed with my information and my fingerprints.

Who are they?

I have no idea.

Where do you work? Do you work around here?

Well, yeah, I work in my house, but, I mean, my office is in San Francisco, but

I've never been there, but I work out of my house.

You don't know one person in a town you've lived in for four years who can

vouch for Angela Bennett?

We've got Ruth Marks trying to run a scam in a house. She's wanted for

prostitution and narcotics. We're going to bring her in.

Would you excuse me?

I'm going to be right back. I'm just going to use... This

is Raines.

Is she or isn't she?

She kept to herself.

Didn't talk to anybody.

Where's the girl?

She's... Where's my phone?

Anybody see my phone?

Excuse me, sir. Did you see a young woman running out of here?

No, sir. I haven't seen anyone.

Thanks.

Yeah? What the hell happened, Devlin?

Don't worry, we'll get hold of the disc. We'll find whoever she's been speaking

to. Don't forget, she's out here on her own. She's feeling pretty vulnerable.

We don't want another Cozumel, Mr. Devlin. She's your responsibility. Deal

with it.

I said I'd take care of her, all right?

Cathedral Software.

Russ Marborn.

Mr. Melbourne is no longer with the company.

What do you mean?

May I connect you to someone who could help you? I've never dealt with anybody

in operations.

Who may I connect you to? Nobody else.

The head of security systems. Just tell them that it's Angela Bennett. Thank

you. I'll put you through to Ms. Bennett.

What? No.

I am Angela Bennett.

Hello? Hello, this is Angela Bennett.

Who is this?

This is Angela Bennett, hello?

This is someone that can help you. Give us the disk, Angela.

You have the wrong person. I don't know what you're talking about. Angela, we're

not offering an option here. Just give us the disk and we'll give you your life

back. I don't understand.

I don't have your disk. I don't know what you mean.

Give us the disk, Angela.

What's the number?

555-7605.

You get the address?

It's 3100 California.

Hi, this is Dr. Alan Champion. I can't come to the phone right now. Please be

home. Are you

screening? Please be screening. Please.

Hello? Hello? I'm home. Hi.

It's me.

I need your help. I'm in a lot of trouble.

Shit. I mean, I'm not exactly sure what else you want me to do. Look, hold on,

hold on, hold on.

This is a cell phone, right? Yeah. So, I mean, we can't put a normal trace on it.

No, listen, listen.

There's no problem. No, no, no.

Just get the number.

Right. But don't dial it. Just send out a signal.

Send it from the base here? Yeah. All right. Then find me two repeater cells

that can pick it up.

Give me the bisect.

And it will find it within a few hundred yards. Okay. Go.

Nice to see you, too. No, I'm sorry. Just go.

Well, come on. I'm not a cab. Say hi.

Hi. Can we go now? Yeah, now we can go.

Listen, you still have that laptop that I gave you? Uh-huh. Where?

I'm serious. Do you have it?

Yes, I have it. Okay, well, we need to go get it, and then I need for you to

take me to a hotel room.

Now that, that's doable. Alan, just go.

Just go.

Go, go, go, go.

I swear to God, I asked for a quarter. She gave me a telephone.

Yeah, it's half the ride.

Here I go.

Voila! Ouch.

No, Alan, you don't have to, uh... to, uh, stay if you don't want to.

I'm sure that, um... God, what's her name? Sorry. Amy.

Don't worry.

It's over with Amy.

I'm sorry.

Don't be, dearie. We're not.

This is bizarre.

I haven't seen you in so long. What are we even doing here?

I just figured you would be safe.

Oh, great.

So I've gone from being a self-centered asshole to safe. Thank you very much.

No, I just figured that they couldn't trace me to you and that your patient

records are confidential, right? My patient records?

Yeah, I knew I had my subtle charms.

You're the only person I have to turn to right now, so... And you know what,

Angie? I am going to take that as a big, big compliment.

Guess what time it is?

Gibsons. Almost.

We have no long gifts, so we'll have to use these.

Seldane, the antihistamine of champions.

I can always make you laugh, couldn't I? You know what? I'm going to pass on that

gift. No drink?

No drink.

All right, I come bearing gifts. Some Amy's clothes for you here.

Try these on.

Such a nightmare.

It's like I'm not even me anymore.

Hey, hey, hey, come here.

Come on, look at me.

You're freaking me.

You gotta take a breath.

Take a pause.

Okay, if you're not you, tell me who you think you are.

Chris, you're not even listening to me. Oh, I am listening, but come on.

Somebody stole your purse.

Oh, come on, I do believe.

Yeah, that's not true. You know what I believe?

I believe you're a very frightened woman. I think in general you're

disconnected from the human race. I think you're way out there on your own.

You mix in your father leaving. Oh, no.

No, my father has nothing to do with the fact, nothing to do with the fact that

my car is missing. It has nothing to do with the fact that my house is empty.

It has nothing to do with the fact that the Los Angeles Police Department is

chasing after me and that somebody out there wants to kill me. No. No, I

believe something happened, but that just doesn't make sense.

I don't want to be simplistic here, Angie, but I think you're just reaching

out.

You know what? You're absolutely right. I am reaching out. I'm reaching out to

anybody who knows me. Anybody who will listen to me and believe me and be my

friend. Hey, hey, hey, hey, Angie.

I'm sorry.

Sometimes it's easier for me to play doctor than it is to listen.

I don't understand. I don't understand. Why me? Why me? I am nobody.

I am nothing.

But they knew. They knew everything about me. They knew what I ate. They

knew what I drank. They knew what movies that I watched. They knew where I was

from. They knew what cigarettes I used to smoke. And everything they did, they

must have watched on the internet. I don't know. Watched my credit cards.

Our whole lives are on the computer. And they knew. They knew that I could be

vanished. They knew that nobody would care. That nobody would understand.

And they knew it wouldn't matter anymore.

It's going to be okay.

What can I do? I need for you to take my mom and just put her anywhere. I don't

care where. Just put her under a different name because I don't know what

these people are going to do. You can do that, right, because you're a doctor?

Yeah, sure. I can put your mom in a county sanitarium. Say I want her there

for observation.

How's that?

That would mean a lot to me because she's all I got left right now.

All that you have left?

Christ, Angie.

They've really gotten into your head with this.

Well, come on, put yourself in my shoes. I don't hear from you for a long time. I

get a phone call, this convoluted story. Come on.

Listen, I'm not buying the whole package, but I'll tell you what I can

do. I have a friend downtown in the federal building. His name's Ben

Phillips. He's an FBI agent. No, no, no.

I've been running from the police ever since I got back in this country. That's

the last thing that I need.

Well, that's great, Angela. Then why don't you just live the rest of your

life in this hotel room? How's that?

Well, do you trust him?

Yeah, I used to hold his head over the toilet at rat parties. Oh, come on. I'm

serious. Do you trust him?

Yeah, I trust Ben. I do.

Okay.

Well, let's formulate our plan. I'm gonna go back to my place. I'll figure

out the best way to transfer your mom to the sanitarium.

Then I'll call Ben.

If I get any information, I'll get back to you.

Okay. Come on. Don't be so down.

Come here.

It's gonna be okay. I'm on watch now.

You know, this would have never happened if you had stayed with me.

Hey, Alan.

Thank you for everything.

You're welcome. You stay put, you know.

Okay.

Oh, merci.

Now prompt me, please.

Okay. Carry this around, Devlin, because it was important.

Bethesda Naval Hospital.

Password.

Okay, password.

I'm gonna try you.

Okay. Well, you look familiar. I'll just try you again.

No, come on.

Okay.

Extra, what?

Oh, my God.

Yeah. Someone's on.

Think it's our girl?

Whoever it is is covering their tracks big time. A dozen hops so far. A pop in

Switzerland, a little Unix box in the University of Montana, five different

routers at Berkeley.

They know what they're doing.

How long will it take to track her?

Depending how much she's set up, how long she stays on. Fifteen minutes, half

hour at the most.

Will you call me the second you find her?

And that other matter, Mr. Devlin?

Oh, that's free of charge.

A bad wolf, cyber-terrorist.

I have information.

LAX, Wall Street, Atlanta.

Extremely dangerous. Don't mess with them.

Already started messing with me.

Meet in IRL, in private.

In real life.

No, no, no, no. It's gotta be a public place.

Where it's safe with...

A lot of people.

So I'm gonna keep here.

Bye. Where?

Where is he?

Any luck?

8833 Rosewood, West Hollywood.

Remind me to buy you guys something nice.

Angie, come on, let me in. I'm dying out here with this food.

Sorry.

Sorry, I thought... Forget it.

Fine.

I figured you'd be hungry, so I stopped on the way over.

I got you your favorite.

Chinese.

Um, it's your favorite. I never really cared for it, remember?

Eh, it's immaterial. I knew it was somebody's favorite.

How's my mom?

Mom is fine. She's safely ensconced at the county sanitarium. Everything's

good. Great, thank you.

Hey, listen, about the Chinese, let me make it up to you. Why don't we go over

to that Greek restaurant we used to like?

I can't. I gotta go.

Really?

Why do you have to go? Every time I see you now, you're running away.

No, I'm not. There's just a guy from the Internet who might know something about

what's going on.

Well, listen, can I at least tell you about my friend Ben Phillips, the guy

you wanted me to talk to? I told him your story, and he said he wants to see

you first thing in the morning.

Angie, can't you wait until... Well, does he know about LAX and Wall Street

and what happened in Atlanta?

Does he? Of course he knows what happened in Atlanta. What did happen in

Atlanta? A couple kids black out part of a power grid and smell brave suck from

the air? Is that a national emergency?

Chris Allen, listen.

Cyberbob's figured it out. He knows what he's doing, okay? If I don't go talk to

him now, it's gonna be too late. Listen to you, Cyberbob. You're going to meet a

guy named Cyberbob.

Have you ever even seen him?

I don't want you going alone.

Why don't you come with me then? Sure I will.

Now, where are we supposed to meet him? Stand right up here.

Yeah?

Hi. Bob Fox?

These people are dangerous. They killed Dale because of what he knew. Now they

think I have this program.

Angie, I'm with you on this. Really, I am. But first somebody tries to kill

you, now this guy Dale. And they put somebody in my place at Cathedral to get

rid of any traces there.

Well, what I'm asking you is why would anybody want to do any of this? They

would want somebody in Cathedral's mainframe in order to set traps and to

overwrite any, any programs just to make sure that this doesn't happen again,

right?

Well, that would take weeks.

And you cannot do that from the outside.

Do you remember that internet number that I told you that that Devlin guy

had? Right. Well, I plugged it in, and next thing I know, I'm staring at, like,

the personal medical files of the Undersecretary of Defense, Michael

Bergstrom. The guy who blew his head off. Yeah, and they said that a computer

blood test told him that he had AIDS, right?

Mm-hmm. Well, when they did the autopsy, there was no HIV found.

Well, who knows? Maybe when they do my autopsy, I can finally prove that I'm

not Ruth Marx.

You know what's frightening me is I'm starting to think that you're not

delusional. Well, you know what I need to do? I need to get back to Cathedral.

I need to get on that Mozart's Ghost program because that's got to be it.

That has to be it. They've got this ecosystem on their computers there where

you can retrace all your keystrokes in case you made a mistake.

Are you all right?

Alan, what's the matter?

Pull over.

Alan!

You're scaring me. Come on.

Talk to me. What?

What pills? What? What are you talking about? Okay, you know what? Get over

here. We'll go to the hospital.

He'll be okay, isn't he?

While he's allergic to penicillin, they have him intubated and pumped full of

epinephrine.

I have no idea what you just said. Look, he's going to be fine.

If you like, you can go see him.

Um, yeah, I would like that. Thank you.

Hi.

How do you feel?

I'm starving.

Yeah?

Well, when you get out, I'll cook you the best microwave meal you've ever had.

How long are they gonna keep me here?

Um, I think just another day.

And will you be handling the outpatient care nurse?

Well, do you mind?

Mm-mm.

Visions of sponge baths, dancing.

I gotta go.

You gonna be okay?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

I'm more worried about you.

I'll be fine.

Wish it was over, but I'll be fine.

I know.

Come here.

I might let you do it again.

Do you still think I'm crazy?

Sure I do.

Great picture.

It's safer to stay right here.

Sorry, Bob couldn't make it.

Hey, hey.

Hey, I hope this isn't how you greet all your old lovers.

It's not exactly the category that you fit into.

I'm surprised you didn't kill me, then fuck me.

It was difficult, right?

Because I was attracted to you. I still am. I'm genuinely attracted to you.

Yeah, well, I'm the genuinely attracted half the Santa Monica police department.

Don't go. I know you've been avoiding them since you ran out of that house.

I'm sure they'd still be very interested in hearing how you crashed Al Hessman's

plane, how you tried to kill me. I'm sure they'd love to hear about that. Go

ahead. You feel free.

I'm sure they'd be happy to make your acquaintance.

Did you know that Ruth Marks has a criminal record?

The drugs.

Prostitution.

You've got quite a record.

Yeah, almost as good a record as Bergstrom has, huh?

What do you mean? Because I know about...

Bergstrom's suicide, and I know all about the Praetorians, too.

So I'm sure they'd love to hear about that.

Everybody has their button.

And Bergstrom's just happened to be homophobia.

You just have to know people well enough to know which... which button to push.

I don't have your disc. If I had it, I would give it to you. I don't have it.

Okay. It was ruined in Mexico.

It's okay.

But what we need now is what's up here, so you come with me.

I promise you. I promise you I'll look after you. Come on. Hey, see you later.

Bye. Oh, excuse me. Come on, man.

Understand, what do you want?

It's not about what I want.

It's about what my employers want.

See, take a look around you.

Do you think things are working?

I don't think so.

They believe they can make things better. What, they're killing people?

I don't ask too many questions.

I suggest you do the same.

Dr.

Garcia is set to enter the space.

Everybody clear?

300, let's go.

Let's go, everybody clear.

Okay, he's got no pulse. He's not responding. Get her out of here!

No, he's my friend.

He's my friend.

Look, Mrs. Champion, I'm sorry. We did everything we could.

There were complications.

Would you like me to call you a cab?

Look, you're very upset. Is there someone who can pick you up?

Ma'am.

Ma'am, would you like to talk with a counselor?

Ma'am, maybe you should just lie down for a while.

Oh, I don't understand.

You said he was going to be fine. He was fine. I know I did. I'm sorry. I think

the insulin caused his blood pressure. No, no, it's penicillin. He was on

penicillin. No, Dr. Champion was being held for the treatment of diabetes.

No. He went into insulin shock at 925. No, he was not a diabetic.

I'm afraid he was. He wasn't diabetic.

No, I'm afraid he was.

You've no idea what it does to me, just hearing the sound of your voice.

No, don't hang up, Angela, please.

This is important.

If you would just take a step back from all of this, you'd see that you and I,

we're really not so very different.

We're both loners. We're both isolated. We're both really untrusting.

We're both looking for the same clarity.

You've come to mean a great deal to me.

Yeah, well, you mean shit to me.

Look, I have to admit an arrogance in my perceptions of you.

You see, I've come to visit a friend of mine.

An old piano teacher friend of mine.

You leave my mother alone.

Well, it seems I have no choice.

She's been moved by Dr.

Champion.

The late Dr.

Champion.

Shit. Driver, this is the highway patrol.

To reduce speed, carefully pull over to the side of the highway and turn...

Please! Please!

Get out! Get out!

Get your hands around the back! Around the back! You have the right to remain

silent. If you give up the right to remain silent, anything you say can and

will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak with an

attorney and to hand the attorney present to inquest.

Look, I want to help you.

I've been appointed to help you, but everything you're saying is just so far

-fetched. They've changed your name, your friend's medical records, crashed

planes because... Just think about it. Just think about it. Our whole world is

sitting there on a computer. It's in the computer. Everything. Your DMV records,

your social security, your...

Credit cards, your medical history, it's all right there. Everyone is stored, and

there's like this little electronic shadow on each and every one of us just

begging for somebody to screw with. And you know what? They've done it to me,

and you know what? They're going to do it to you.

Look, Ms.

Marks.

I'm not Ruth Marks, okay? They invented her. They put her on your computer with

my thumbprint. I hate to tell you this, but the California criminal justice

computers, all of them, have been protected by the gatekeeper security

programs for the last six months so nothing that you're describing could

possibly happen

oh my god

it's the program then it's it's the the the gatekeeper program has got it has a

flaw if they change my identity and it has a flaw then the pretorians they know

this then that solves it yeah think about it no You want to tell me again

how you ended up in a stolen car?

Okay, listen to me. Listen to me. It's like a Trojan horse, this thing. The

Taurians, they hack into computers and they cause this chaos.

LAX, Wall Street, the Department of Water and Power in Atlanta.

They do this so the people, they go out and they buy this program. They buy this

program and they get a false sense of security.

Only to find out that they've unwittingly allowed the Praetorians free

and exclusive access to the system. Do you get it? Imagine what they can do

with this power. They could do anything.

This is absolutely fascinating, Ms.

Marks. Please, my name is Bennett.

Write it down if you want. It's Bennett. B-E-N-N-E-T-T.

Bennett.

I have no reason to make any of this up.

As your court-appointed attorney, I'm obligated to do what you wish. So I will

call you Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile, if you want. But take some advice.

If you go before the judge with this craziness, I guarantee you will be found

incompetent to stand trial, and they will hold you indefinitely.

Hi, yeah, this is her daughter.

Hi, Mom.

It's me.

How are you doing? You doing okay?

Yeah, how's that new nurse training?

It's Angela, Mom.

It's Angela.

Mom, listen.

I need you to do something for me.

There's a lady here that I need for you.

She's going to get on the phone, and I need for you to tell her that she's...

That I'm me, okay?

Because she doesn't believe me.

Can you tell her that?

Mom?

Mom, don't. No.

Are you there?

Somebody answer the damn phone.

Who's coming to get me? Can you just... Special Agent Ben Phillips, FBI.

I'm Alan's friend.

It's a terrible thing what happened to him.

I, um... I'm so glad that you're here. Now, Angela, two seconds after Alan told

me your story, half the agents in the computer crimes division hit the bricks

chasing us down.

That's why I'm beating every bush from here to eternity trying to find you.

Sorry it ended up being a place like this.

Yeah, me too.

Well, let's get out of here. Get you someplace safe.

Got a field belt. It's about 40 minutes from here. Okay, and then what do we do?

Then I'm going fishing.

Shark named Jack Devin. Ring any bells?

Yeah.

That one man dirty duty squad.

Smart, efficient, lethal.

We're all conscience of a chainsaw.

You know, scariest son-of-a-bitches here is the guys behind the keyboards.

They're worse.

They're the Praetorians.

They're our first good lead.

We've been chasing them for years. But look, we have to move like ASAP here, so

I want you to start sketching me a quick background, all right? Okay.

Like, for instance, how the hell did you access their system in the first place?

I didn't. A programmer at Cathedral, he sent the disk to me.

Yep. Goddamn disk. That's what kick-started all this, huh?

Angie, tell me, did you make a copy of the disk?

I mean, before it was ruined in Mexico.

Huh?

No.

Damn.

Diskers only hope we have a catch in these bastards.

Did you talk to anyone?

Give copies of the disk to anyone.

You guys are amazing sons of bitches.

Amazing.

Amazing, amazing.

How'd you know it was ruined?

How'd you know it was ruined?

I only told Devlin it was ruined. How'd you know it was ruined? Huh?

What's your name? You're not even with the FBI. Is your name Ben? You know

what? It doesn't even matter. It doesn't matter.

You know, ever since I touched that disc, I've been running from, like, one

nightmare to the next. You know what? I'm tired. I'm out of it.

I'm so out of it. I'm tired of this.

Yo, come on. Get off the gas.

On a serious note, after what has appeared to be a month of playful across

-the-computer tampering, an incident today has taken a darker turn. We go

live to Dermot Comling in Chicago with that report.

Police were called in as the recent comedy of computer errors turned ugly

today when six of Chicago's major banks were forced to shut their doors due to

massive computer tampering, bringing the economic life of the city to a halt.

As you can see, it's a desperate situation.

Essential city services will be conducted through the one local bank

unaffected by the glitches.

That bank, national fidelity sources say, was protected by Gregg Systems

aptly named Gatekeeper Program.

Reporting live from Chicago's Loop, Dermot Conley. Thank you, Dermot. In

related news, Jeff Gregg, billionaire founder of Gregg Systems, was in

Washington for today's announcement by newly appointed Undersecretary of

Defense Calvin Shoemaker that the Pentagon will be outfitting the entire

federal government with Gregg's touted Gatekeeper Program.

You need to remember, in this day and age, information is sacred. Information

is power, and society must protect that at all costs from these terrorists.

Ironically, today's announcement came just two weeks to the day of the recent

suicide death of Shoemaker's predecessor, Michael Bergstrom, a vocal

opponent of the Gatekeeper program.

In local news, a spectacular car crash leaves one unidentified man dead.

We go live to Lynn Blades at the scene of the crash. Lynn.

Thank you, Elaine. Now, I am just yard... away from where the body was

found with a gangland-style gunshot wound to the head. Police are searching

for the passenger of that car, a young woman in her 20s, brunette, going under

the name of Ruth Marks, and believed to be wanted on federal charges of car

theft. A little else is known at this time.

All Cathedral employees, this is a reminder that the Cathedral booth at the

Moscone Center is in the northwest corner of the Convention Hall.

All Cathedral employees, this is a reminder that the Cathedral booth in the

Big dot set.

Alright.

Mozart's ghost!

The hottest bitch!

Oh, don't do this to me. Do not do this to me. I am Angela Bennet. Me.

Cathedral Software.

Yeah, Angela Bennett, please.

Programming Angela Bennett.

Hello?

Hello?

Who the hell is this?

Hello?

Look, you got something to say, otherwise... Don't hang up.

Angela?

All right, Miss Bennett, now that I know where you are, let's see if we can get

you away from your little machine.

Hmm.

Thought I'd start a little fire.

All right.

Here. This is a fire alarm.

Please proceed to the nearest emergency exit.

Please proceed to the nearest emergency exit.

Angela. What?

Who are you, our lady of asbestos? There's a goddamn fire in the building.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, just a sec.

Don't give me a sec. Let's go.

mozart's ghost the hottest man on the internet

password and i wrote

Where's the fire? Where's the smoke? There's no smoke. We're looking into it,

ma'am.

Okay, what's this?

Terminate all Mozart's ghost files now. Terminate.

Oh, gotcha, don't I?

Okay, now who is Praetorian?

Let's switch you out.

Attention all employees.

Please return to your workstation.

Fire department has advised us that this was a false alarm.

Attention all employees.

All clear.

Fire department has advised us that this was a false alarm.

735.

Come on.

Okay, where are you? There you go.

Attention,

all cathedral employees.

Please return to your work stations.

Fire department has advised us that this was a false alarm.

Attention, all cathedral employees.

Please return to your workstations. The fire department... So you did this,

didn't you?

...pulse alarm.

This was the pulse alarm. You gotta go to the John, too, huh?

Does this blow you?

Where are your discs?

virus. Thank you, Dale.

Come on, come on.

Yes.

You're going to the convention.

Oh, my God.

Security.

Had a break in on the fifth floor at Cathedral.

We're getting for an email about 5-7.

Brunette.

Did you see Brunette? Did she come by here? Sorry, ma'am. Nobody came by here.

Only people coming and going around here? Fire.

Devlin. Yeah, that's right.

Where is she? The fireman. She's got to be with the fireman. We have to find her

now. She's copied the disc.

Well, how the hell did that happen?

We're supposed to get rid of that.

You were supposed to put a bullet in her head a week ago. She should never have

been allowed to make that copy.

Smart.

Better call Greg.

She's gone to the Moscone Center.

Jesus, she could be anywhere. You sure she's out there?

She's out there all right.

She won't be hiding in some corner.

She came here to use a computer.

you

you

Get away from the computer.

What did you think you were trying to do?

Save the world?

No, not the world, just myself.

Oh,

well, I'm afraid it's too late for that.

The offer's been withdrawn.

Um, you might want to look at the screen.

Because everything on that disc was just sent to the FBI.

Everything.

So?

So, proof that the gatekeeper program has a backdoor.

Why am I proof that Bergstrom and Dale's murder were orchestrated by Craig?

Watcher The beauty of the gatekeeper system is that we can get in and out of

the FBI like it's the public library It's beautiful system

Let's finish the work and get the hell out of here these people make me nervous

No harm done everything you've done will be

wiped out by just escaping the system

Really? God damn it, you're in the mainframe. It's eating through Greg's

entire system, Devlin. Do something.

Devlin, it's a virus eating through the gatekeeper program.

There's going to be nothing left. Everything will be destroyed.

Take the far side.

Angela, stop!

Angela!

Angela?

Angela?

It's just you and me now.

Do you realize you've changed everything?

Yeah.

One little stroke of the key and you've wiped out my employer.

You've cancelled my contract.

You've reversed everything they've done to you.

Taking back your life. That's what you wanted, wasn't it?

Angela?

I knew you'd do the right thing.

This is the latest virus.

It's on this machine.

Not responding to anything. Try a new password.

Excuse me, Miss, I can't remember what you told me to plant.

You know what? Why don't I come outside and help you?

The law caught up with billionaire Jeff Gregg today as FBI agents escorted him

from his exclusive New York penthouse.

Gregg will be arraigned tomorrow on nine counts of conspiracy, fraud, and

complicity in the death of Undersecretary of Defense Michael

Bergstrom. An FBI spokesperson attributes the surprising arrest to a

transmission sent over the Internet by an Angela Bennett, a program systems

analyst from Los Angeles.

In other news, San Francisco police are investigating two mysterious deaths at

the Pan Pacific Computer Convention.

A young woman found shot to death in a backroom area has been identified as 28

-year-old Ruth Marks. The other deceased, a male in his 30s, is as yet

unidentified. Turning now to weather, the forecast for the coming weekend is

bright and sunny with patchy early morning clouds. It seems like summer is

finally here.

We skipped the light fandango Turned

cartwheels across the floor I

was feeling kind of seasick The crowd

called out for more The room

was humming harder

As the ceiling flew away

Let her face at first just go sleep.

Turn the water shade of pain.

You say there is no reason And

the truth is plain to see

But I wander through my blankets

And would not let her be
