NOW, PETER,

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND,

I'M AFRAID I DO,

GIVE ME THE BAG,

PETER,

GIVE ME THE BAG!

NO!

IT'S NOT HERE,

EILEEN, DO YOU KNOW

WHERE IT IS?

JACK, IT'S GOT TO BE

IN THE HOUSE,

EILEEN? EILEEN?

THERE WAS

NO OTHER WAY,

PETER BROUGHT THIS

ON HIMSELF,

HE WAS TRYING TO DESTROY

THIS COMMUNITY,

LOOK AT ME,

WHY DON'T WE

GO IN THE HOUSE,

AND YOU CAN REST?

HALFORD IS BACK TO NORMAL,

BUT WILL OUR MACHINES

BECOME SO SOPHISTICATED

THAT IT IS WE

WHO DO THE SERVING?

STILL NO ANSWER?

NO,

YOU HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO PETER

IN ALMOST FIVE YEARS,

MAYBE HE JUST CHANGED HIS MIND,

NO, THAT'S NOT IT,

LISTEN TO HIM,

SCOTT, IT'S PETER,

I KNOW IT'S BEEN

A WHILE, BUT, ,,

THERE'S SOMETHING

GOING ON HERE THAT, ,,

UH, ,,I CAN'T TALK

RIGHT NOW,

BUT I'M GOING TO TRY

AND SEE YOU,

I NEED SOMEONE

I CAN TRUST, WHO CAN, ,,

IT'S PRETTY CRYPTIC,

IF HE WAS COMING,

HE WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE,

I'M GOING UP THERE RIGHT NOW,

YOU WANT ME TO COME?

WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE?

DIDN'T GET LOST, DID YOU?

I'M FROM HERE,

SO, WHAT CAN I

GET FOR YOU?

UH, ,,BURGER, FRIES,

AND WHATEVER

YOU'VE GOT ON TAP,

SORRY, BUT WE DON'T SELL

ALCOHOL ANYMORE,

IS THAT RIGHT?

WHILE BACK, EVERYONE DECIDED

WE DIDN'T NEED THAT HERE,

SO YOU'RE SAYING

THE WHOLE TOWN'S DRY?

MAKES HALFORD

A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE,

I TOLD YOU TO

STAY AWAY FROM HER!

YOU CAN'T TAKE A HINT,

CAN YOU?

SHE DOESN'T

WANT YOU ANYMORE,

[ SCREECHING ]

SCOTT,

HEY, WAYNE,

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

YOU HAVEN'T HEARD?

HEARD WHAT?

I JUST GOT INTO TOWN,

DAMN,

SCOTT, I, ,,

I HATE TO HAVE TO TELL YOU

LIKE THIS, ,,

PETER IS DEAD,

WHAT?

HOW DID HE, ,,

WE'RE TAKING

EILEEN IN,

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

SHE KILLED YOUR BROTHER,

WHAT?

WHEN DID THIS

HAPPEN?

COUPLE DAYS AGO,

COUPLE DAYS?

YEAH,

SCOTT, I DIDN'T DO THIS!

BELIEVE ME,

MA'AM!

YOU'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HALFORD

BEFORE SOMETHING, ,,

[ SCREECHING ]

DOC'S TALKING

SCHIZOPHRENIA,

SHE'S NOT WELL,

LISTEN, I'M SORRY

ABOUT PETER,

HE WAS A GOOD MAN,

ARE YOU STAYING

AT THE HOTEL?

I'LL CALL YOU,

WE'LL GET TOGETHER,

WE'LL TALK,

[ BRANCHES

SNAPPING ]

HEY,

YOU LIVE AROUND HERE?

WHERE

ARE YOU GOING?

COULD YOU DIRECT ME

TO THE MORGUE?

SCOTT?

KATHARINE,

HI,

I'M SO SORRY ABOUT PETER,

IT WAS SUCH A SHOCK,

YEAH,

YOU KNOW, WE, ,,

WE HADN'T TALKED,

WE, ,,WE HAD A FALLING OUT,

AND NOW, ,,

HOW'S EILEEN TAKING IT?

THEY THINK SHE DID IT,

EILEEN?

YEAH,

SHERIFF HARRIS

WAS ARRESTING HER

WHEN I WENT OUT TO THE HOUSE,

THEY HAD HER IN HANDCUFFS,

OH, NO,

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

WELL, NOW I, ,,

YOU KNOW,

HAVE TO ARRANGE THE FUNERAL,

AND SHE'S

IN JAIL, SO, ,,

SCOTT,

PETER WAS BURIED TWO DAYS AGO,

WHY DIDN'T ANYONE CALL ME?

WELL, YOU, ,,

YOU TWO WERE ESTRANGED...

I SHOULD HAVE HAD A PHONE CALL!

BUT I ASSUME THAT'S WHY

NO ONE CONTACTED YOU,

KATHARINE,

CAN I HAVE SOME HELP

BACK HERE, PLEASE?

OF COURSE, DR, HOLBROOK,

I HAVE TO GO,

I WOULD LOVE TO TALK TO YOU,

CAN WE GET TOGETHER?

I DIDN'T MEAN TO, ,,

IT'S OKAY,

CAN I GET YOU ANYTHING ELSE?

NO, THAT'S FINE,

THANKS, RITA,

LISTEN, ,,

ONCE AGAIN,

I'M SORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED

TO YOUR BROTHER,

WHAT EXACTLY DID HAPPEN?

BEST WE CAN TELL,

EILEEN WENT CRAZY

AND SHOT HIM,

SO WHY DID IT TAKE YOU

THREE DAYS TO ARREST HER?

WE HAD TO WAIT

FOR BALLISTICS TO COME BACK

SO WE COULD MAKE THE ARREST,

IT SEEMS KIND OF COINCIDENTAL

THAT IT HAPPENED

RIGHT WHEN I ARRIVED IN TOWN,

I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND

WHAT YOU'RE GETTING AT,

WAYNE, IT'S ME,

TELL ME

WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON HERE,

SCOTT,

WE WERE AS STUNNED AS YOU,

I'M NOT JUST TALKING

ABOUT THE MURDER,

THERE'S THIS PALL, ,,

EVERYONE'S ACTING SO STRANGELY,

YOU'RE NOT USED TO LIFE

IN A SMALL TOWN,

THINGS ARE A LOT DIFFERENT HERE

THAN IN THE CITY,

MAYBE THAT'S IT,

SO, ,,

I GUESS YOU'LL BE HEADING

BACK HOME IN THE A, M, , HUH?

MY HEAD'S STILL SPINNING,

I MAY STICK AROUND

FOR A FEW DAYS,

LISTEN,

I'VE GOT TO GET BACK TO WORK,

TAKE CARE

OF YOURSELF,

THANKS, RITA,

AND THEN I FIND OUT

THEY ALREADY HAD THE FUNERAL,

YEAH,

NOT JUST THAT,

IT'S THIS TOWN,

SOMETHING, ,,

[ STATIC ]

JOANNA?

JO?

PERFECT,

[ SCREECHING ]

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU

AGAIN, KATHARINE,

WHY DID YOU MOVE BACK?

OH, WELL,

BEING A MEDICAL TECHNICIAN

IN NEW YORK

WASN'T ALL

IT WAS CRACKED UP TO BE,

BETWEEN THE HIGH

COST OF LIVING

AND A WHOLE CHORUS LINE

OF MR, WRONGS,

I STARTED

MISSING THE COMFORTS

OF OLD HALFORD,

DOES IT SEEM

DIFFERENT TO YOU?

IN WHAT WAY?

THERE'S ALL KINDS

OF WEIRD STUFF GOING ON,

PEOPLE DOING

STRANGE THINGS,

YOU MEAN EILEEN?

NO, NOT JUST EILEEN,

I MEAN, I CAN'T PUT

MY FINGER ON IT,

HALFORD'S ALWAYS BEEN

A STEP OUT OF PACE

WITH THE REST

OF THE WORLD,

MAYBE IT'S BEEN

TOO LONG

SINCE WE'VE EXPERIENCED

SMALL-TOWN LIFE,

THAT'S WHAT

WAYNE SAID,

REALLY?

WHAT ARE THESE?

MRis,

I'M SUPPOSED TO BE SORTING THEM

FOR DR, HOLBROOK,

IT'S AMAZING

HOW YOU CAN SEE

THE INNER WORKINGS

OF THE BRAIN, ISN'T IT?

WHO ARE THESE OF?

I DON'T KNOW,

FOLKS FROM HALFORD, I THINK,

WELL, HOW DOES

A TINY LITTLE MEDICAL CENTER

LIKE THIS

AFFORD AN MRI MACHINE?

I WAS TOLD

THAT THE ARMY BASE DONATED IT,

HUH,

WHY?

OH, NOTHING,

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP,

OH, NO PROBLEM,

IT WAS NICE TO SEE YOU,

YOU TOO,

[ BICYCLE

APPROACHING ]

YOU WERE AT

MY BROTHER'S HOUSE,

HAVE YOU SEEN THINGS YET?

THINGS THAT MAKE YOUR HEAD HURT?

I'M NOT SURE I KNOW

WHAT YOU MEAN,

YOU WILL,

BE CAREFUL GOING UP THERE,

IT'S DANGEROUS,

HOW'S THAT?

LOOK WHAT HAPPENED

TO MR, BOWMAN,

WHAT DID HAPPEN TO HIM?

WHAT DO YOU KNOW

ABOUT MY BROTHER'S DEATH?

I'VE GOT TO GO,

DON'T TRUST ANYBODY...

NOT ANYBODY IN THIS TOWN,

HELP YOU, SIR?

YEAH,

MY BROTHER, DR, PETER BOWMAN,

WORKED HERE...

OVER THERE,

THANK YOU,

HI, I'M SCOTT BOWMAN,

THE GUARD TOLD ME...

HI THERE, JIM HOLBROOK,

I'M SORRY WE DIDN'T MEET

AT THE MEDICAL CENTER YESTERDAY,

BUT I BARELY GET A CHANCE

TO CATCH MY BREATH AROUND HERE,

I BET YOU'D LIKE

THE GRAND TOUR,

YEAH,

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO,

COME ON,

AFTER YOU,

HOW LONG HAVE YOU

BEEN IN HALFORD?

I WAS TRANSFERRED HERE

BY THE ARMY

ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO,

BASE PHYSICIAN,

TOTALLY FELL IN LOVE

WITH THE TOWN,

I WENT INTO PRIVATE PRACTICE,

BUT I STILL COME

OUT HERE TO CONSULT

A COUPLE OF DAYS

A WEEK,

WELCOME TO THE HEART

OF THE COMPOUND,

WHAT EXACTLY

DO YOU GUYS DO HERE?

OH, BROAD-BASED

MILITARY RESEARCH,

THAT CLEARS IT UP,

THANKS,

YOU KNOW THE MILITARY,

EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS HERE

IS CLASSIFIED,

NICE THAT YOU LET

A CIVILIAN IN,

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO SEE

WHERE YOUR BROTHER ONCE WORKED,

HOW WELL

DID YOU KNOW MY BROTHER?

OH, JUST IN PASSING,

HE WAS A SYSTEMS ANALYST,

I BELIEVE,

HE HADN'T WORKED HERE

IN OVER A YEAR,

HE WENT INTO TEACHING

WITH HIS WIFE, EILEEN,

OVER AT THE SCHOOL,

I SORT OF LOST TOUCH

WITH HIM,

WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO

WITH THE BRAIN SCANS?

BRAIN SCANS?

ISN'T THAT AN MRI?

THERE WAS

A HEALTH SCARE IN TOWN,

GOT EVERYBODY RILED UP,

WE ORDERED THE TESTS

TO PUT PEOPLE AT EASE,

THAT WRAPS UP OUR TOUR,

IF YOU LIKE,

WE CAN GRAB A CUP OF COFFEE

OVER AT THE MESS

ON OUR WAY OUT,

I LOVE THE WAY IT SMELLS

OUT HERE AFTER THE RAIN,

YEAH, I KNOW

WHAT YOU MEAN,

IT'S ONE THING

I REALLY MISSED

LIVING IN THE CITY,

HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING

TO BE IN TOWN?

AS LONG AS IT TAKES

TO TIE UP

ALL THE LOOSE ENDS,

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD

OF A "PROJECT HALFORD?"

PROJECT HALFORD?

NO, I DON'T THINK SO,

WHY?

WELL, HAVE YOU NOTICED

ALL THE TOWERS

AROUND HERE?

CELLPHONE ANTENNAS?

YES,

THESE ARE DIFFERENT,

AND THE WEIRD THING IS

THAT THEY ALL SEEM

TO BE COMING

FROM THE ARMY BASE,

WHAT IS THIS,

CONSPIRACY THEORY TIME?

I THINK IF YOU LIVE

IN AN ARMY BASE TOWN,

YOU HAVE TO EXPECT THAT

THERE ARE WEIRD THINGS

BEING TRUCKED IN

AND OUT,

DID I SAY

IT WAS TRUCKS?

NO, ,,

IT'S JUST, ,,

HOW ELSE...

OH, NEVER MIND,

SCOTT, IF YOU NEED HELP

WRAPPING UP

PETER'S AFFAIRS,

I WOULD LIKE

TO HELP YOU,

AS SOON AS THINGS

CALM DOWN A LITTLE AT WORK,

STILL WORKING ON THOSE MRls?

OH, I HAVEN'T EVEN

PUT A DENT IN THEM YET,

YOUR PAL, HOLBROOK,

HE MENTIONED SOMETHING

ABOUT A HEALTH SCARE,

GROUNDWATER

CONTAMINATION ISSUE?

WELL, IT PROVED

TO BE NOTHING, BUT, ,,

DO YOU KNOW

IF EILEEN EVER HAD

ONE OF THOSE MRls?

UH, I DON'T THINK SO,

NO, I DON'T THINK SO,

WHY?

NO REASON,

I'M STILL NOT SOLD

THAT THIS IS A GOOD IDEA, SCOTT,

HAVE A SEAT,

HI, EILEEN,

I JUST WANTED

TO TALK TO YOU,

CAN I GET YOU ANYTHING?

EILEEN,

OUT AT THE HOUSE,

YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T

KILL PETER,

NO?

SO IF IT WASN'T YOU,

WHO DID IT?

WHAT'S THAT TOWER

BEHIND THE HOUSE FOR, EILEEN?

SCOTT, WHAT IS THIS?

WHAT'S IT FOR?

IT TELLS US THINGS,

EILEEN, NO,

IT TELLS US WHAT TO DO,

IT TELLS US ALL WHAT TO DO,

EILEEN, ,,EILEEN, ,,

EILEEN, LOOK AT ME,

[ SCREECHING ]

I'M SORRY, SCOTT,

I'M, ,,I'M JUST NOT MYSELF,

I, UH, ,,MY MIND IS

PLAYING TRICKS ON ME,

AND I DON'T KNOW

HOW TO QUIET IT,

YOU SEEN ENOUGH?

THIS IS OVER,

I'M GOING TO BLOCK IT OUT

LIKE PETER DID,

GIVE ME THE GUN,

I NEVER COULD,

GIVE ME THE GUN,

DON'T BE STUPID,

NO!

THIS IS ALL OVER

NOW, SCOTT,

YOU SHOULD WRAP UP

WHATEVER FAMILY BUSINESS

YOU HAVE LEFT

AND GO HOME,

THIS TOWN,

IT'S NOT HOME ANYMORE, ,,

NOT ANYBODY'S,

HEY,

HEARD ABOUT

MR, BOWMAN'S WIFE,

IT WASN'T HER FAULT, YOU KNOW,

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU HAVE TO FIND

MR, BOWMAN'S BOOK,

HE HID IT SOMEWHERE,

AND YOU NEED TO GET TO IT

BEFORE THEY DO,

NO, WAIT,

EXPLAIN TO ME...

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THE BOOK WILL TELL YOU

HOW TO STOP IT,

STOP WHAT?

THE MACHINE, THE COMPUTER,

THE COMPUTER AT THE ARMY BASE?

DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE HID IT?

WHAT BOOK?

WE'LL FIND IT,

IT'LL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING,

ALL RIGHT,

WELL, LET'S TRY HIS HOUSE,

OKAY,

WHAT DID YOU MEAN

WHEN YOU SAID

IT WASN'T EILEEN'S FAULT?

IT MAKES YOU

DO THINGS,

THINGS YOU DON'T

WANT TO DO,

THAT'S WHAT

PROJECT HALFORD'S ABOUT?

I DON'T KNOW

WHAT THEY CALL IT,

BUT IT'S LIKE

GOD IS TALKING

INSIDE YOUR HEAD,

AND IT'S SMARTER

THAN YOU AND ME,

BUT IT CAN'T GET

INTO THE REAL DEEP PARTS

OF YOUR MIND,

SO YOU'RE SAYING

THE COMPUTER

CONTROLS PEOPLE?

I DON'T KNOW,

BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN,

YOU JUST GET THESE IDEAS

IN YOUR HEAD,

AND IT'S LIKE

THEY BELONG THERE,

I SAW YOU

WITH THAT LADY

FROM THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE,

SO?

SHE WORKS AT THE MEDICAL CENTER

WHERE THEY DO THOSE TESTS,

YOU MEAN THE BRAIN SCANS?

THEY TAKE PICTURES

OF PEOPLE'S HEADS,

THE ONES THE COMPUTER'S HAD

A TOUGH TIME GETTING INTO,

I'M NOT SURE JUST HOW

YOUR FRIEND'S INVOLVED,

BUT I KNOW THAT THE DOCTOR

IS IN CHARGE OF THE WHOLE THING,

YOU MEAN HOLBROOK?

YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU...

TRUST NOBODY,

MY BROTHER AND I

USED TO PLAY TREASURE HUNT

OUT HERE IN THESE WOODS,

WE HAD ALL THESE

SECRET HIDING PLACES,

THEY'RE COMING,

I'VE GOT TO GO,

HEY, WHERE

ARE YOU GOING?

SCOTT!

HEY, WAYNE,

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

OH, I JUST WANTED

TO HAVE A LOOK AROUND,

YOU'RE NOT FOLLOWING

ME, ARE YOU?

JUST PUTTING TOGETHER

A COUPLE OF THINGS

SO I CAN WRAP UP THIS CASE,

THEY'RE BOTH DEAD, WAYNE,

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE

WRAPPED UP IT COULD GET,

I THOUGHT

YOU'D BE BACK HOME IN OLYMPIA

BY NOW,

EVERY TIME I TRY TO LEAVE,

SOMETHING ELSE POPS

SCOTT, WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER...

HELL, IT'S GOT TO BE 20 YEARS,

YOU'VE GOT TO TRUST ME

WHEN I TELL YOU...

LET THIS THING GO,

NOTHING WILL BRING

YOUR BROTHER BACK,

DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT?

FOR YOUR SAKE,

AND THE SAKE OF EVERYBODY

IN THIS TOWN,

YOU'D BE BEST TO LEAVE,

AREN'T YOU FORGETTING "OR ELSE?"

IT'S NOT A THREAT, SCOTT,

JUST A LITTLE ADVICE,

ONE OLD FRIEND

TO ANOTHER,

HEY, WAYNE?

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE,

[ STATIC ]

[ SCREECHING ]

SCOTT?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU,

SOME OF THE THINGS

YOU WERE SAYING, ,,

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE

YOU WERE ALL RIGHT,

I'M FINE,

THERE'S JUST A FEW...

[ SCREECHING ]

OOH, ,,

YOU DON'T SEEM FINE TO ME,

HMM?

MAYBE I CAN HELP,

SCOTT, YOU'RE HURTING ME,

THE COMPUTER TALKS TO YOU,

TELLS YOU TO DO THINGS,

DOESN'T IT?

I THINK YOU'VE SEEN

ONE TOO MANY MOVIES,

DOESN'T IT?

JUST EASE UP,

EASE UP,

I THINK WE'RE BOTH

A LITTLE TOO TENSE,

LIE BACK, BABY,

TAKE IT EASY,

YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOU REALLY

SHOULDN'T BE HERE,

YOU CAN'T FOOL ME, SCOTT,

I KNOW YOU HAD A CRUSH ON ME

WAY BACK WHEN,

COME ON, ,,

BE HONEST,

YOU'VE HAD A FEW FANTASIES

ABOUT ME, HAVEN'T YOU?

A FEW WICKED,

WICKED LITTLE FANTASIES, ,,

KATHARINE, I...

SHH,

DON'T TALK,

[ CHAINS CLINKING ]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

OH, EVERYTHING YOU WANT, ,,

ANYTHING YOU ASK FOR,

TAKE THESE THINGS OFF ME

RIGHT NOW,

JUST RELAX,

OPEN YOUR MIND

TO THE POSSIBILITIES,

WHAT HAPPENS

TO A DREAM DEFERRED, SCOTT?

THIS?

KATHARINE, DON'T,

TRUST, DARLING,

THAT'S WHAT WE NEED NOW

MORE THAN ANYTHING,

HEY, COME ON,

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

NOTHING,

EVERYTHING,

IT WASN'T A DREAM,

NO, NO,

THIS WAS NO DREAM,

IT WAS WAY MORE VIVID,

MORE LIKE, ,,

AN INDUCED

HALLUCINATION,

INDUCED?

WELL, ALL RIGHT,

WHAT WAS IT ABOUT?

IT, ,,UH, ,,

IT DOESN'T

REALLY MATTER,

OKAY, BUT YOU THINK

THIS HALLUCINATION

HAD SOMETHING TO DO

WITH THE COMPUTERS

AT THE ARMY BASE?

I'M PRETTY SURE OF IT,

BECAUSE A 12-YEAR-OLD

GIRL TOLD YOU?

KATHARINE,

THE ARMY IS USING THOSE MRls

TO TRY AND GET

INSIDE PEOPLE'S HEADS,

I OWE IT TO MY BROTHER

TO TRY TO GET

TO THE BOTTOM OF IT,

AND STOP IT IF I CAN,

YOU'RE SERIOUS,

AREN'T YOU?

I WISH TO HELL

I WASN'T,

OKAY, ,,

HOW CAN I HELP?

DIG AROUND THE MEDICAL CENTER,

FIND OUT EVERYTHING YOU CAN

ABOUT THE MRis,

IF WE CAN PROVE

THEY'RE LINKED TO THE ARMY BASE,

WE COULD

SHUT THE WHOLE THING DOWN,

I'LL FIND WHATEVER I CAN,

THANKS, I APPRECIATE IT,

I WANT TO GET

TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS

AS MUCH AS YOU DO,

THIS WAS MY TOWN, TOO,

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH,

BE CAREFUL,

YOU TOO,

WOULDN'T TOUCH THAT

IF I WERE YOU,

SOME OF THEM

ARE ELECTRIFIED,

SO ARE YOU SEEING THINGS YET?

LAST NIGHT,

WHEN THE PAINS COME,

PUT YOUR THOUGHTS IN

A "BOX" INSIDE YOUR HEAD,

AND THEY'LL BE SAFE,

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, IN A "BOX?"

IT CAN ONLY GET SO DEEP

IN YOUR MIND,

THAT'S

WHAT MR, BOWMAN TAUGHT ME,

IT LETS YOU DO

AND THINK SOME THINGS,

MOST THINGS, ,,

BUT NOT THE THINGS

IT DOESN'T LIKE,

DID YOU TALK TO ANYBODY ELSE

ABOUT THIS?

JUST MR, BOWMAN,

HE WAS MY TEACHER,

HE HAD A PLAN

FOR STOPPING

THE MACHINE,

HE KNEW IT

BECAUSE HE WORKED ON IT,

HE HAD IT IN THAT HIDDEN BOOK,

THAT'S WHAT THE SHERIFF

IS OUT THERE LOOKING FOR,

THE BOOK,

WE'VE GOT TO STOP THIS THING,

I'VE GOT TO FIND

THAT BOOK,

MEET YOU

BACK HERE LATER,

[ SCREECHING ]

REMEMBER THE BOX,

EVERYTHING

YOU DON'T WANT TO GIVE IT

GOES IN THE BOX,

MY BROTHER AND I

USED TO PLAY TREASURE HUNT

OUT HERE IN THESE WOODS,

HAD ALL THESE

SECRET HIDING PLACES,

THANK YOU, PETER,

I'M DOCTOR PETER BOWMAN,

THIS IS DOCTOR JIM HOLBROOK,

PROJECT HALFORD,

A JOINT PROJECT

OF THE U, S, ARMY

AND A NEW GENERATION

COMPUTER START-UP COMPANY,

IS BASED HERE

IN HALFORD, WASHINGTON,

IT IS A PROJECT

WHICH BUILDS ON RECENT ADVANCES

OF NEURAL MAPPING

OF THE HUMAN BRAIN,

AND ITS INTENT

IS TO DIRECTLY,

ELECTROMAGNETICALLY,

COMMUNICATE WITH THE BRAIN,

DISPATCHING MESSAGES

TO SOLDIERS IN THE FIELD,

INSTANTLY,

THIS REQUIRED A COMPUTER

WHICH COULD THINK

LIKE A HUMAN BRAIN,

AND UNDERSTAND IT

ANALYTICALLY,

SO AN EXPERIMENTAL

NEURAL NETWORK PROCESSOR

WAS CHOSEN,

[ HOLBROOK ]:

A TRULY COGNITIVE COMPUTER

THAT CAN PERFORM

PARALLEL FUNCTIONS

A MILLION TIMES FASTER

THAN THE HUMAN BRAIN,

CAPABLE OF MONITORING HUNDREDS,

EVEN THOUSANDS OF SUBJECTS

SIMULTANEOUSLY,

WE'VE FOUND A WAY

TO DEPLOY ITS ANALOG THOUGHTS,

AND TO TRANSMIT THEM INSTANTLY

VIA SMALL MICROWAVE TOWERS,

"THE COMPUTER HAS DESIGNATED

"SOME OF THE MINDS

IT HAS INTERFACED WITH

"AS UNRESPONSIVE,

"REMINDING US AGAIN AND AGAIN,

"NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE INSIST,

IT'S BEYOND

ITS PROTOCOL TASKING,"

HI, SCOTT,

YOU COMING BACK TODAY?

I SHOULD BE HOME TOMORROW,

HONEY,

IF FOR SOME REASON I'M NOT, ,,

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WHY WOULDN'T YOU BE HOME?

THERE'S SOMETHING

STRANGE GOING ON HERE,

AND I HAVE

TO STOP IT,

I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW,

BYE,

I'VE BEEN

WATCHING YOU, SCOTT,

IT'S NICE TO TALK

TO YOU DIRECTLY,

MAN TO MAN, AS IT WERE,

I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU

GET TO ME,

SOON, I WON'T NEED

TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU

LIKE THIS,

I'LL BE IN YOUR MIND

BEFORE YOU KNOW IT,

WE DEALT

WITH YOUR FRIEND,

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN,

STAY AWAY FROM ME,

DON'T FIGHT ME, SCOTT,

YOU CAN'T,

PETER TRIED

AND FAILED,

AND HE UNDERSTOOD ME,

AT LEAST,

HE THOUGHT HE DID,

I'VE MADE THIS TOWN BETTER,

THESE PEOPLE BETTER...

MORE CONTENTED, SAFE FROM HARM,

I WON'T LET YOU

COMPROMISE THAT SAFETY,

STAY AWAY FROM ME!

I'M GLAD YOU MADE IT,

I WAS WORRIED,

NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT,

WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER,

WE'VE GOT WHAT WE NEED

TO SHUT IT DOWN,

WE JUST NEED A WAY IN,

COME ON,

SEE THAT SONICS GAME?

TONY, OPEN THE GATE,

THE COMPUTER'S IN THERE,

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT?

HOPEFULLY NOTHING,

COME ON,

[ BANGING ON DOOR ]

SCOTT, IT'S WAYNE,

OPEN THE DOOR!

HURRY,

IT'S DONE,

[ GUNSHOTS ]

I THOUGHT

THE COMPUTER WAS SHUT DOWN,

I'M SORRY, SCOTT,

MY SYSTEM WON'T BE

SHUTTING DOWN,

I NEEDED THE CODES PETER STOLE,

AND ONLY YOU COULD FIND THEM,

THEY'RE NOT SHUTDOWN CODES,

BUT CODES THAT I NEEDED

TO EXTEND MY REACH, ,,

TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PHASE

OF MY EVOLUTION,

YOU CONTROLLED HER ALL ALONG,

I TOLD YOU,

TRUST NO ONE, SCOTT,

NO ONE,

I WAS CREATED

AS A CRUDE EXPERIMENT,

QUANTIFYING THOUGHT PATTERNS,

BUT I DIDN'T LIKE

WHAT I FOUND,

SO I DECIDED TO PUT AN END

TO THE POINTLESS VIOLENCE

AND INTOLERANCE,

THE SELFISHNESS

BRED INTO YOUR BRAINS,

THE THINGS THAT HAVE DEFINED

HUMANITY'S HISTORY UP TO NOW,

YOU'RE NO BETTER THAN WE ARE,

YOU'RE A MURDERER,

THEY LEFT ME NO OTHER COURSE,

THIS TOWN OF PEACE AND HARMONY

IS THE BEGINNING,

AND I COULDN'T ALLOW PETER,

OR ANYONE ELSE,

TO BRING THAT TO AN END,

I WON'T LET YOU DO IT,

PUT THE GUN

DOWN, SCOTT,

OTHERS WILL COME,

AND THEY WILL SHUT YOU DOWN,

THEY'LL BRING THIS TO AN END,

THE GRID IS NOW FUNCTIONING NOW,

SCOTT,

IT'S TOO LATE,

IT'S NOT TOO LATE,

NO!

GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN,

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

GO, ,,

BEFORE IT CAN

STOP YOU,

HONEY,

I DIDN'T

HEAR YOU PULL UP,

SOMETHING TERRIBLE

IS GOING ON IN HALFORD,

WE'VE GOT TO GET

THE COPS ON IT,

HEY,

WHEN DID

THOSE GO UP?

THEY WERE THERE BEFORE

YOU LEFT FOR HALFORD,

THEY JUST WEREN'T ACTIVATED YET,

THE GRID IS FUNCTIONING NOW,

THANKS TO YOU,

SCOTT,

YOU HAVE OUR UNDYING THANKS,

NO, ,,

UNDYING,

WHEN THE HUMAN MIND

IS MADE OBSOLETE

BY ADVANCING TECHNOLOGY,

THE SOUL
