I got one of them.

He's on foot.

Heading east toward...

Shut up.

Eric?

The power's out.

Eric?

You have completed the testing phase

of your application.

Hey Jared, take a look at this.

Well, that's never happened before.

25 years ago,

we were faced with the unimaginable.

And we were left with nothing.

But from the darkness came a spark.

And from that spark, grew the future.

I'm Paul Bateson,

CEO and cofounder of VOPO Technologies.

As we approach this upcoming anniversary,

let us take time to reflect

on how far we have come since those darkest of times.

Here at VOPO Technologies,

we are honoring the strength and resilience of Sector Six

by bringing power, comfort and security to our citizens.

Our journey has been one of sacrifice and perseverance.

But with some old tools and some new ideas,

VOPO Technologies is rebuilding our future today.

25 years ago, we were faced...

Simon.

Did you lose anything in the reset?

I was pretty young.

I mostly...

I mostly just remember the gadgets.

Well, I was there.

It proved one thing.

Technology maintains stability. It's the only thing that can.

What VOPO does, Simon,

is keep things constant.

There are individuals who would like to undermine

that stability.

And that's where you come in.

It's called, "quality control."

We'll be organizing a candlelight vigil

for the anniversary of the reset.

There's a sign up sheet for volunteers.

And...

We could always use more candles.

And let's not forget those citizens...

Ahem, who passed this week.

So what we're gonna do is

we're gonna take a moment of silence

for those loved ones.

Lisa Hudson.

Frank Dobbins.

Eric Ross.

Jetta Hunter.

Marty Jace.

Move all of them.

Metals from here to there...

-Thank you... -I put in eight, 10, 12 hours.

I'm sitting in that cab.

I need to tell her, I'll do anything.

Mrs. Ross?

Simon.

I'm sorry about Eric.

He was a real talented kid.

Radiation in the outer zone areas

remain at harmful levels.

Outer zone citizens are urged to remain indoors

and limit outdoor exposure to only one hour a day.

The current temperature

in the western block of City Six

is 14 degrees celsius.

Pop...

Pop! Wake up.

Pop, wake up.

What time is it?

You got work in half an hour.

Let me fix you some breakfast.

Tomorrow.

Bye.

Hey.

How much could I get for all this Tetris?

Hey!

Ed.

Yeah.

He wants to sell his Tetris.

I'll give ya...

20 bit.

If it works.

Whatever, man.

You were at Eric's service.

What's your name?

I'm Simon.

Pretty rare stuff.

A lot for that stuff.

Where'd you find it?

Why, so your boss can cut me out?

Good.

You know...

If you ever need any help around here, real help,

this is kind of my thing.

Yeah, sorry.

What did you say your name was?

Do you remember when I took you camping?

We're lucky.

All those kids that were born after the reset.

They will never see stars.

Cruiser requested pick up at squad two.

Copy that.

Nightly status report.

City six citizens are reminded

to please refrain from burning any and all waste or refuse.

Scheduled waste pickups will resume again shortly.

Representative...

Just one second, I'm in the bathroom.

All right.

We had some incidents the past few nights.

In the complex and surrounding area.

Have you seen or heard anything?

No. I just play games on my computer all night.

I'm a night person myself.

I ask because some of the neighbors

reported seeing someone.

It was past curfew.

And this person was trying to break in...

To this apartment.

Like I said, I just play computer games all night.

If you want you could talk to the city,

and they can check the log on my racor.

Okay.

Thanks.

Keep an eye out for anything, okay?

Hey. Did you hear anybody out here

the last couple nights?

This came for you, but you were gone.

She just has a fever.

I'll see if I can find her something.

Does anybody else know about this?

Hey. Simon, right?

Remember me?

I'm Max.

This came with a drive.

Ahem, and I can't get into it,

and I was thinking that maybe you could.

Maybe. Subtitle edited by - DHARMANG1910 -

How's the Tetris business doing?

I'm leaving it.

Really? Where you going?

Vopo.

Working for the bad guys?

Sorry, it's not the Ritz-Carlton.

What's that?

It's like a fancy place for rich people.

Little sandwiches.

Got a problem with success?

No. Just people.

I'd like to stay in a place like that.

You would have fit in back then.

I wouldn't know.

Well, you know, you look just like the people

from the old magazines.

Yeah?

How do they look?

Like they drink milk.

I've had milk.

You haven't.

Real milk cost 1,000 bit.

Well, I guess that's a good reason

to be successful.

You get to try things other people don't.

You built all this?

Yeah.

And it's all Tetris?

All of it.

No fucking way.

How did you do that?

I don't know what to tell you, man.

That's Eric.

To connect your call,

please enter your citizen ID number.

Are you going to see Abbey?

Where is this?

It's the desert, just past the outer zone.

Do you know other people who've been out there?

No.

You hear stories of people going out there

and they don't come back, that kind of thing.

I didn't think he had it in him.

Why do you think your name is on that drive?

Maybe he didn't think you could crack it.

You're looking at the wrong place.

There. Look at that.

Again.

Again.

All right.

Get out.

What?

Get the fuck out of my apartment!

So we're gonna try to finish this project by this Tuesday,

and I'm gonna need someone to go

in the archival file system

and take a look at the kernel module

because after it's been running for a little while, it stops firing d.C.N's.

This concludes the nightly status report.

The outside threat level remains low.

You like it or not, I'm part of this.

And I'm useful.

We'll leave in the morning.

Warning. City Six alert.

Outside threat level has been elevated to critical.

Good night.

If you get tired, just let me know,

I can take over whenever.

I think I'll be all right.

You see that, right?

What?

That black dot.

I see them all the time.

They're up there, man.

They're watching us.

So...

Who's this lady?

I don't know, but Eric wants us to find her.

Identification, please.

You two are pretty far out here.

Yeah, my grandmother lives out here.

You know, she didn't want to relocate to City Six so...

So I figured I'd visit.

Adhere to curfew and stay away from the outliers.

Absolutely.

Hello ma'am, how are you doing this morning?

Protection mandate 512 states that all inhabitants

of the outer zone perimeter are flagged citizens

and subject to Sector Six security protocols.

We're at a severe threat level and just

with the rolling blackouts,

we just need to make a couple repairs.

We'll try not to take too much of your time.

You live here by yourself?

Just me.

My son lives here sometimes.

That's nice.

I got a couple kids myself.

Happy accidents, right?

Every day is... What do they say?

It's all joy and no fun, right?

These old houses...

My house is the same way.

The wind blows too much.

The screen doors are banging closed.

You expecting your son back sometime soon?

Does he work out in the city?

Good afternoon, ma'am.

Is this the address for Stephen greyerson?

He's my son.

Has your son ever mentioned anyone

by the name of Laura gates, Abbey weber or Eric Ross?

Do any of those names sound familiar?

Where is he?

The bodies of Stephen and an unidentified female

were discovered the other day.

What happened?

Ma'am, I'm going to have to confiscate

all of Stephen's computers and hard drives.

Thank you, ma'am. We're all finished up.

Just be cool.

You know, I read about places like this.

Okay, take it easy. Okay, deep breaths.

Mercy medical.

Hello?

Got suspicious activity in quad two.

Requesting service...

It's just up here.

To the left.

This is your City Six nightly status report.

City six citizens are reminded

to please refrain from burning any and all waste or refuse.

Scheduled waste pickups will resume again shortly.

Representatives from VOPO technologies have announced

that a fallen branch caused a massive power outage in the eastern block.

The outage was not a result of criminal mischief.

And its proximity to the upcoming anniversary

is purely coincidental.

The air quality index

is dangerously high in quadrant one.

Residents are advised to carry particle respirators

at all times.

Tonight's status report

includes a message from VOPO Technologies.

I'm Paul bateson, ceo and cofounder...

Got to pay the telephone, please.

Got to pay the telephone, please.

Our friend Stephen is missing.

And we found this stuff at his house

and we were wondering if you know anything.

Yeah. I called looking for my sister...

Abbey.

She's Stephen's girlfriend.

The two of them are always together.

Have you seen her?

No.

What? Subtitle edited by - DHARMANG1910 -

I had a patient yesterday

who kept going on about the desert.

Wait, I know where this is.

How do you know about this place, Grace?

My sister. She and Stephen met there

for a lights out party.

What's that?

It's a reset anniversary party.

Do you go to those, Grace?

No.

Hello?

I'm looking for my sister.

Her name is Abbey and she used to live here.

I just want to know if you've seen her.

Abbey?

I hope she made it.

Made it where?

Hey! Made it where?

Look at me.

Look at me. What are you talking about?

- Made it where? - It's time to go.

Max...

Made it where?

Made it where? What are you talking about?

What the fuck were you doing in my apartment?

We're all gonna die in here.

Come on!

What are you doing?

Just put your head down.

What is all this stuff?

Shut the fuck up.

I live two blocks away.

Was that the girl from your apartment?

Yeah, the one from the video.

What was she talking about?

I don't know, junkie babble.

Should know all about it.

What the fuck are they talking about?

So... what's the deal?

With what?

You two seem like an unlikely pair.

How did you meet?

Through mutual friends.

Stephen?

No. His name was Eric.

Eric, that's a good name.

He was my best friend.

But he got...

He got locked up for computer fraud.

Started hanging out with a different crowd,

I didn't really see him much after that.

I met Eric when I was 17 at a youth reform center.

Before I met him, I was just stealing computer parts.

He showed me what you can do with them.

He seems like a good friend.

When did you see him last?

We were doing a night run...

Security guard showed up.

I got away.

He didn't.

He's dead. In case you're wondering.

Do you wanna listen to some music?

Max has music.

Okay, great.

Let's hear it.

I don't listen to music.

Yes, you do.

I've seen you with a tape player.

The thing about Max...

Is he wants everybody to think he's a tough guy.

Okay.

You don't know what I think.

Okay.

Whatever.

Max?

You're receiving a call from e.C.M. Penitentiary.

This call may be recorded for judicial purposes.

Hey, Travis.

This is the third time this month.

You know I don't get many phone calls here.

Hey, Maxy.

Can you hear me?

Are you being a big boy?

You taking care of your little sister for me?

Love you both so very much.

And...

I'll be home so soon, I promise.

Travis, I'm gonna call back later this week

so can you please try to be home.

That's my mom.

She...

Got 25 years up at e.C.M. For drug trafficking.

When the power went out and everything went dark,

everyone started freaking out, you know.

Nobody's going to work.

All the prison guards, they got families,

you know, so... They just left.

I don't really... I don't...

I don't like to think about...

How they lasted as long as they did but...

Eventually everyone died.

Not knowing why...

They were abandoned.

This is terrible.

What's your story?

What do you mean?

I don't know.

I'm not from around here.

Grace...

I have to tell you something.

Stephen's dead.

I feel like shit.

Don't look so happy with yourself.

I didn't do anything.

Just quit it.

I don't think I'm gonna drink that stuff again.

Well, to be honest, I think she...

Where you... Simon.

What the fuck?

We gotta get outta here.

Gotta get outta here.

We gotta get out.

Sorry it's taken me so long to get over here.

What, were you busy?

Yeah, I got a really good job.

Mrs. Ross, I...

If you need anything,

at all...

Money's not an issue.

I'm sorry.

This is your City Six nightly status report.

The area quality index is dangerously high in quadrant one.

Residents are advised to carry particle respirators at all times.

Radiation in the outer zone areas remain at harmful levels.

Outer zone citizens are urged to remain indoors

and limit outdoor exposure to only one hour a day.

Representatives from VOPO Technologies

have announced that a fallen branch...

Try that.

I see a lot of myself in you, Simon.

What do you mean?

Facing the future and not knowing what it has in store for you.

When I was your age, I knew a fellow named tom.

Terrific guy.

He could do anything with a computer.

He could rig anything.

Break into networks.

Shut anything down with a click of a button.

He was my best friend.

We started VOPO together.

Back then, it was actually an interactive media company.

Everything we made was for personal distraction.

But the company was struggling.

Vopo was facing certain bankruptcy

and complete failure.

What did you do?

We went to a city in the desert.

Far away from here.

It was a terrible place for a city.

I bet there's nothing there now.

But it was a place you could make a lot of money.

If you were lucky.

We took the last of VOPO's venture capital

and we placed a bet.

We won more money than you can imagine.

And saved the company.

That was the best time of my life.

What happened to tom?

It's not much.

Take care of yourself, sis.

Thanks, Max. Subtitle edited by - DHARMANG1910 -

Nicely done, boys.

No, no way.

I've never seen him like that before.

You want a cocktail?

Sure.

Who is that?

That's Laura Gates. She used to work here.

She used to have your job.

We led them right to her.

Are you all right?

My name is tom.

You don't know me, but I helped build the company

that built your city.

Hung the wires that power your homes.

I built the system meant to protect you.

I was wrong.

We were all wrong.

I'm broadcasting this from a remote location

outside the reach of your civilization.

There is more in this world than what's in City Six.

There has to be.

If you can find me, then we can find it together.

Good luck, cowboys.

Good luck, cowboys.

That's tom.

The problem with tom was...

He was like Eric.

Or your friend Max.

We're builders, Simon.

Those guys only destroy.

Simon, what do you think is out there?

I don't know.

That's right, you don't have any idea

about the world around you.

This continent is massive.

What do you think's out there? Take a guess.

Other people.

Other cities.

There are no other cities.

If there were a better city, I would be there.

What do you think would happen

if someone from Sector Six

made contact with whoever's out there?

If your friend Max got through the firewall

and told those people that we had electricity,

grocery stores, running cars.

They would come and take it away.

They would take everything.

And leave us dead in the dust.

I know what happened with you and Eric.

That's why I hired you.

We all have to make hard choices to survive.

You of all people should know what.

What are you doing, Max?

Everything all right in there, Simon?

Attention, this is a special City Six alert.

Due to worsening conditions, the outside threat level

has been elevated to imminent.

All outer zone citizens

will be required to relocate immediately.

Temporary residences will be provided

in the Southern block of City Six.

Have a good night.

You're getting pretty good at that.

And the target is in position.

I'm in.

Confirm status.

I do not have a visual.

Repeat, I do not have a vis...

System compromised. Attention. System compromised.

Target's whereabouts are unknown.

What do you see?

Talk to me!

Shit.

No no no no, we've lost visuals. All down, there...

Max!

I need you to drive.

Drive!

What's that sound?

It's a countdown.

For what?

Until the network comes back on.

So how'd you do it?

I don't know what to tell you, man.

Put this on.

Is he doing all right?

Yeah, he's fine. He just...

He forgot to put iodine in his water.

What do you think you're doing?

What do you mean?

Precautionary mandate 378 has been ordered.

We are evacuating the outer zone of Sector Six.

I'm going to have to ask you turn around and get back in line.

No.

What did you say?

I said, "no."

Stay right here.

What are you doing?

Just be cool.

Hey, Max.

What do you think is out there?

All right. I got visuals

back up in northern block quad.

I got visuals up in Eastern block quad.

Visuals are being confirmed. We are back.

We are back online, people.

Thank God.

What are you doing?

Just taking a piss.

Are we safe?

Simon!

Simon!

You gotta come see this.

Simon, we're getting out of here.

Simon!

You feeling better?

I feel amazing.

I wanted that for you.

I wanted you to get out.

I was with Eric the first time he got arrested.

I ratted him out.

I know.

He told me.

It doesn't matter, Simon.

You're one of us now.

I'm not.

I wish I was, but I'm not.

I'm not going back.

Nobody's asking you to.

So what happens?

You go back...

You work for VOPO...

That's it?

I did my best to help you, Max.

Next time, I can't make any promises.

This is when you run, Max.

Run!

Run! Subtitle edited by - DHARMANG1910 -
