THERE'S SOMETHING

I'VE BEEN MEANING

TO ASK YOU, LARISSA,

CAN YOU

REMEMBER A TIME

WHEN YOU CAN

HONESTLY SAY

THAT YOU WERE HAPPY,

I MEAN,

TRULY HAPPY?

I MUST HAVE BEEN,

I DON'T KNOW, FIVE,

AND I REMEMBER

RUNNING ON A GREENWAY,

I DIDN'T KNOW IT,

BUT MY FATHER

HAD SAVED UP HIS V-CREDITS

FOR A WHOLE YEAR,

JUST SO I COULD HAVE

THAT EXPERIENCE,

THE SMELL OF THE LAWN,

AND THE FEEL OF THE GRASS

BETWEEN MY TOES, ,,

YOU KNOW, I STILL HOLD OUT HOPE

THAT ORDINARY WORKERS

WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY

THINGS LIKE THAT AGAIN SOMEDAY...

PARKS AND GARDENS

AND BEAUTIFUL THINGS...

IF NOT FOR ME,

THEN FOR MY CHILDREN,

[ BEEPING ]

JUST A MINUTE,

HI, YOU'RE UP EARLY,

WELL, I WANTED TO GIVE YOU THIS

BEFORE THE TRANSFER,

A PEACH,

DOMINIC, IT'S BEAUTIFUL,

HYDROPONICS ARE HARD TO COME BY,

WELL, SOME PEOPLE

DESERVE THE EXTRA EFFORT,

TRANSFER BEGINS IN 15 MINUTES,

ALL ALPHAS ARE REQUIRED

TO PROCEED

TO THEIR DESIGNATED

STASIS CENTER,

THANK YOU FOR THE GIFT,

I'LL SAVE IT

FOR MY NEXT TRANSFER,

BEFORE YOU GO,

UM, ARE YOU DOING ANYTHING

ON THE 20th?

THAT'S WHAT, A SATURDAY?

YEAH,

WELL,

I LIKE TO BE HOME ON SATURDAYS,

MAKE AN EXCEPTION,

BECAUSE I HAVE SOMETHING PLANNED

I THINK YOU'LL REALLY ENJOY,

ALL RIGHT, SURE,

THE 20th,

DON'T FORGET,

OKAY, BYE,

BYE,

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG

WITH YOUR TELEVISION,

DO NOT ATTEMPT

TO ADJUST THE PICTURE,

WE ARE NOW CONTROLLING

THE TRANSMISSION,

WE CONTROL THE HORIZONTAL, ,,

AND THE VERTICAL,

WE CAN DELUDE YOU

WITH A THOUSAND CHANNELS

OR EXPAND ONE SINGLE IMAGE

TO CRYSTAL CLARITY, ,,

AND BEYOND,

WE CAN SHAPE YOUR VISION

TO ANYTHING

OUR IMAGINATION CAN CONCEIVE,

FOR THE NEXT HOUR,

WE WILL CONTROL

ALL THAT YOU SEE AND HEAR,

YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE

THE AWE AND MYSTERY

WHICH REACHES

FROM THE DEEPEST INNER MIND

TO

THE OUTER LIMITS,

TO SLEEP,

PERCHANCE TO DREAM,

BUT WHAT HAPPENS

WHEN THE DREAM

IS TO NEVER SLEEP AGAIN?

GOOD MORNING, ERIC,

FIRST THINGS

FIRST...

WHITE STONE TO B-2,

AND WHILE

YOU MULL THAT,

I'LL TELL YOU

MY PROGRESS

FROM THE LAST

THREE DAYS,

I'VE DONE A COMPUTER ANALYSIS

OF THE CONTROL-VALVE REDESIGNS,

BUT WE CAN'T SPECIFY

THE ALLOY NEEDED

FOR THE VALVE

WITHOUT HARD DATA

ON HEAT COEFFICIENCY

AND VISCOSITY,

UM, ,,

I'M SORRY,

I SHOULD BE MORE FOCUSED,

BUT I CAN'T STOP THINKING

ABOUT HOW SAD YOU LOOKED

AT THE LAST TRANSFER,

AND HOW MUCH

I WANTED TO REACH OUT

TO TOUCH YOU,

PLEASE MAKE SURE

YOU ERASE THIS,

HEY, GOT YOUR MESSAGE,

A LITTLE

STASIS FATIGUE, HUH?

THEY CAN FIGURE OUT

HOW TO PUT YOU OUT

FOR 72 HOURS, BUT, ,,

RIGHT, NO WAY

TO MAKE IT RESTFUL,

WELL, THAT'S AMAZING,

YOU STILL REMEMBER

WHAT IT'S LIKE

TO BE ONE OF

THE GREAT UNWASHED?

SO WHOSE PALM DID YOU GREASE

TO BECOME AN ELITE?

YOU'VE GOT TO CHALK THAT UP

TO MY SMARTS

AND MY KILLER GOOD LOOKS,

RIGHT,

HUMILITY NEVER WAS

YOUR STRONG SUIT,

YEAH, AND FORGIVENESS

WAS NEVER YOURS,

SO, ANYWAY,

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

I NEED TO GET

THE VISCOSITY

AND HEAT COEFFICIENT

OF THE FLUID

FOR THIS VALVE,

ISN'T THAT

IN YOUR STASIS PARTNER'S REPORT?

I'VE LISTENED TO THAT

TWICE ALREADY,

IF YOU LOOK

RIGHT HERE,

IDEALLY,

WE'D WANT TO GO WITH COPPER,

YEAH, SURE,

IF THERE WERE ANY,

THE ELITE DOESN'T HAVE

A STOCKPILE SOMEWHERE?

DESPITE RUMORS TO THE CONTRARY,

WE HAVE NO MAGIC WANDS,

WELL, THEN,

I'LL HAVE TO FORMULATE AN ALLOY,

WITHOUT THE FLUID DATA,

I'M SHOOTING IN THE DARK,

GETTING NUMBERS ON THIS PROJECT

IS LIKE

PULLING TEETH,

OKAY, I'LL LOOK INTO IT,

HEY, I'LL SEE IF I CAN GET YOU

A DECENT SHAVER,

THANK YOU, DOM,

YOU'RE WELCOME,

BYE,

GOOD MORNING, ERIC, ,,

THERE'S ROOM

FOR MAYBE 24 TURBINES,

AND THE FUEL CELLS

HAVE TO BE

PRETTY CLOSE TOGETHER,

SO THE ENERGY

WON'T DISSIPATE,

SOMETHING I CAN

HELP YOU WITH?

NO, SIR,

LET MANKIND CHOOSE,

THE RESISTANCE NEEDS YOU,

DAMNED

STASIS JUMPER,

HALF A LIFE IS NO LIFE,

STASIS IS MURDER,

HIT HIM AGAIN,

HELLO, WINSTON,

A COUPLE OF RETURNS,

OH, GOOD EVENING, ERIC,

HOW DID MY RECOMMENDATION FARE?

A MAGICAL KINGDOM

INSIDE OF A WARDROBE,

I WAS SKEPTICAL AT FIRST,

BUT IT WAS NICE,

VERY, VERY IMAGINATIVE,

SO, WHAT'LL IT BE TONIGHT?

SOMETHING ROMANTIC, I THINK,

SHAKESPEARE?

CONTEMPORARY?

OR ONE THOSE

DELIGHTFULLY TRASHY NOVELS

OF THE LATE 20th CENTURY?

NO, SOME POETRY, MAYBE?

YES, YOU ARE ON A ROMANTIC KICK

LATELY,

LET'S SEE HERE, ,,

THE COLLECTED WORKS

OF R, KOSLOV?

I READ THEM,

THE MOBARAK

COMPILATIONS?

READ THOSE, TOO,

OH, YEAH,

I READ THOSE,

TWICE, ACTUALLY,

SO YOU HAVE,

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT,

CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?

SURE,

I'M EXPECTING DELIVERY

OF SOMETHING RATHER SPECIAL,

I SHOULD

HAVE IT HERE

BY YOUR NEXT TRANSFER,

HALF A CENTURY AGO,

OUR FOREFATHERS DESIGNED

THE STASIS INITIATIVE

AS A TEMPORARY MEASURE

TO SAVE MANKIND FROM ITSELF,

THE IDEA WAS SIMPLE...

CUT THE CONSUMPTION OF RESOURCES

IN HALF

BY DIVIDING

THE POPULATION OF WORKERS

INTO TWO GROUPS,

AND ROTATE THEM IN AND OUT

OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION

EVERY 72 HOURS,

A GROUP OF MANAGERS

WOULD OVERSEE THE PROCESS,

WHO COULD'VE ANTICIPATED

WE'D WIND UP

A SELF-PROCLAIMED ARISTOCRACY?

FELLOW MEMBERS OF THE ELITE,

I THINK THE TIME HAS COME

FOR US ALL TO RENOUNCE

OUR LEVEL-ONE PRIVILEGES,

INCLUDING, ,,

STASIS EXEMPTION,

ARISTOCRACY?

IN FAIRNESS, KAYLA,

THERE ARE PLENTY

OF FORMER WORKERS

WHO EARNED THEIR WAY

INTO THE ELITE

BY EXCELLING IN THEIR FIELDS,

SPARE ME THE

EGALITARIAN PLATITUDES,

YOU KNOW, AS WELL AS I DO,

THAT LESS THAN 2% OF THE ELITE

ARE FORMER WORKERS,

ONCE THE ALPHAS' RELOCATION

TO THE COUNTRYSIDE

TAKES EFFECT NEXT MONTH,

THE LIVES OF ALL CITIZENS

WILL IMPROVE DRAMATICALLY,

I IMPLORE YOU

TO PUT A HOLD ON THOSE PLANS,

THE REALITY IS

IF WE DO NOT

RENOUNCE OUR PRIVILEGES,

THEY WILL BE

FORCIBLY TAKEN FROM US,

LOOK AROUND YOU,

STASIS JUMPING IS ON THE RISE,

THE RESISTANCE IS GROWING

EVERY DAY,

MOST WORKERS UNDERSTAND

THAT THE STASIS INITIATIVE,

AND THE CONSERVATION

THAT IT'S BROUGHT,

IS THE ONLY THING

THAT'S STAVED OFF

COMPLETE ANNIHILATION,

THIS IS NOT ABOUT CONSERVATION

ANYMORE,

WHY GO FORWARD

WITH SOMETHING

AS DRASTIC AND

MORALLY REPREHENSIBLE

AS THE RELOCATION?

WE SHOULD BE MOVING TOWARDS

ABOLISHING STASIS ALTOGETHER,

THAT'S TREASONOUS!

HOW MUCH MORE

STASIS JUMPING

ARE WE GOING

TO TOLERATE?

I THINK WE'VE HEARD ENOUGH,

CANCEL THE RELOCATION?

ABOLISH STASIS?

LET THE WORKERS RUN AMOK

OVER WHAT LITTLE WE HAVE LEFT?

THAT'S A RECIPE FOR DISASTER,

I MOVE

FOR THE CENSURE AND ARREST

OF KAYLA POWERS,

AND ALL THOSE

WHO SUPPORT HER,

WHAT?

HEAR, HEAR!

THIS COUNCIL

FORMALLY SECONDS

THE CHARGE OF TREASON,

WHAT SAY YOU?

AYE!

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!

IT'S ALL RIGHT,

I'LL TAKE HER,

INCARCERATE HER,

PENDING

A FORMAL HEARING,

WHERE WERE WE?

THAT'S RIGHT,

YOU ASKED ME

IF I REMEMBER A TIME

WHEN I WAS TRULY

AND HONESTLY HAPPY, ,,

AND I CAN REMEMBER

TWO TIMES,

BOTH OF THEM HAPPENED

SO LONG AGO,

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE DREAMS,

OR IF THEY ACTUALLY HAPPENED,

ONE OF THEM IS WHEN

I'M WITH MY FATHER,

AND WE WERE

AT THE CITY CENTER,

AND I REMEMBER

HIM LAUGHING,

I LOVED HIS LAUGH,

HE WAS LAUGHING AT ME

WHEN I BURIED MY FACE

IN THE PERFUMED PETALS

OF THE SINGLE ROSE BUSH

THAT WAS THERE,

THAT IMAGE

SOMETIMES COMES TO ME

IN STASIS,

YOU KNOW, THEY SAY

YOU DON'T DREAM IN STASIS,

BUT I DO,

I DREAM OF ROSES, PINK ROSES,

[ ERIC ]:

WHO ARE WE KIDDING?

IT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN,

THE STASIS TRANSFERS

WILL NEVER END,

AND EVEN IF THEY DO,

THE RELOCATION

WILL KEEP US APART,

IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?

TO FEEL YOU BESIDE ME, ,,

[ LARISSA ]:

TALK TO YOU IN THE FLESH, ,,

PRESS MY LIPS AGAINST YOURS?

WE OCCUPY THE SAME ROOMS,

WE SHARE THE SAME JOB,

BUT WE MIGHT AS WELL

BE HALFWAY

AROUND THE WORLD

FROM EACH OTHER,

IT ISN'T FAIR,

[ ERIC ]:

IT'S JUST NOT FAIR,

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

GET BACK

IN YOUR CHAMBER,

HALF A LIFE, ,,

NO LIFE,

STAND BY FOR AN ANNOUNCEMENT

BY THE URBAN

CONSERVATION AUTHORITY,

THE U, C, A,

IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE

THAT THE STASIS INITIATIVE

HAS NEARLY COMPLETED

ITS THIRD PHASE,

THE RELOCATION

OF THE ALPHA POPULATION

TO THE PERIMETER LANDS

WILL TAKE EFFECT IN 28 DAYS,

AS A RESULT,

ALL CITIZENS

ENJOY INCREASED RATIONS

AND SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION

IN STASIS COMMITMENTS,

UNTIL THEN,

THE U, C, A, REMINDS YOU

THAT TO CONSERVE

IS TO SURVIVE,

[ KNOCKING ]

COME IN,

HI THERE,

HI,

I WAS TOLD YOU HAVE

THE VALVE DATA,

YES, RIGHT HERE,

SOMETHING ELSE?

I HAVE A FRIEND

WHO WOULD APPRECIATE A GIFT

WHICH IS IN FAIRLY SHORT SUPPLY,

AH,

SO, WHAT IS IT YOU WANT,

HYPOTHETICALLY?

A ROSE, ACTUALLY...

JUST A SINGLE

PINK ROSE,

ERIC, YOU KNOW I WOULD DO

WHATEVER I COULD TO HELP YOU,

BUT THINGS LIKE THAT

ARE ONLY AVAILABLE

ON THE BLACK MARKET,

WHICH IS, OF COURSE...

ILLEGAL, I KNOW,

BUT WE BOTH KNOW

THE ELITE HAVE ACCESS

TO CERTAIN THINGS,

THAT DOESN'T MEAN

I CAN JUST SNAP MY FINGERS

AND GET YOU

ANYTHING YOU WANT,

RIGHT,

RIGHT,

YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE

YOU'RE THE SAME SCRAWNY KID

I USED TO PLAY

HOOKY WITH, ISN'T IT?

FORGET I SAID ANYTHING,

A ROSE,

OKAY,

A PINK ROSE COSTS A LOT,

I'M WILLING TO MAKE

THE NECESSARY SACRIFICES FOR IT,

ALL RIGHT,

I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO,

THANKS,

YOU MUSTN'T TELL ANYONE

ABOUT THIS,

I THOUGHT THEY GOT RID OF THESE

WHEN THEY TRANSFERRED TO DISC,

JUST KEEP IT

TO YOURSELF,

I COULD LOSE

MY LICENSE,

SO, WHO'S

THE SPECIAL LADY?

MY STASIS PARTNER,

CAREFUL,

ONE THING

I'VE LEARNED,

ALPHAS AND BETAS

DON'T MAKE GOOD MATCHES,

PAGE 112 IS MY FAVORITE...

VERY INSPIRATIONAL,

THANKS, WINSTON,

[ ♪ ]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,

LARISSA,

I KNOW THIS IS

YOUR FAVORITE PIECE OF MUSIC,

AND IT'S ACTUALLY GROWN ON ME,

AS WELL,

WE DON'T HAVE

ANY BUSHES OR BALCONIES,

SO I'M AFRAID

THIS IS THE BEST I CAN DO

IN THE SERENADE DEPARTMENT,

BESIDES,

I THINK YOU ALREADY KNOW

THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION

"WHEREFORE ART THOU?"

IT'S, UM, ,,

IT'S E, E, CUMMINGS,

IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING,

"YOUR SLIGHTEST LOOK

EASILY UNCLOSES ME,

"THOUGH I HAVE CLOSED MYSELF

AS FINGERS,

"YOU OPEN, ALWAYS,

PETAL BY PETAL, MYSELF,

"AS SPRING OPENS

"TOUCHING SKILLFULLY,

MYSTERIOUSLY,

HER FIRST ROSE,"

"I DO NOT KNOW

WHAT IT IS ABOUT YOU

"THAT CLOSES AND OPENS, ,,

"ONLY SOMETHING IN ME

UNDERSTANDS

"THE VOICE OF YOUR EYES

IS DEEPER THAN ALL ROSES,

NOTHING, NOT EVEN THE RAIN,

HAS SUCH SMALL HANDS,"

[ BEEPING ]

YOU DIDN'T FORGET,

DID YOU?

OH, DOMINIC,

I JUST, ,,

I DON'T FEEL UP TO IT, TODAY

THIS ISN'T SOMETHING

YOU WANT TO MISS,

WELL, I DON'T HAVE

ANYTHING TO WEAR,

I TOOK CARE OF THAT,

IT'S WONDERFUL, HUH?

IT'S BEAUTIFUL,

I'D HEARD THAT PLACES

LIKE THIS STILL EXISTED,

I JUST NEVER THOUGHT

I WOULD SEE IT,

I DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU

THE WRONG IMPRESSION,

EVEN THE ELITE

ONLY TREATS ITSELF

ONCE IN A BLUE MOON,

ANYWAY, GO AHEAD,

HELP YOU

IT DOESN'T

SEEM RIGHT,

HEY, YOU ONLY LIVE

HALF YOUR LIFE,

ENJOY THE OCCASIONAL

BLESSING,

THANK YOU,

IT'S LIKE A DREAM,

A BOTANIST'S DREAM,

THAT'S FOR SURE,

OVER 240

RARE PLANT SPECIES,

MANY OF THEM THOUGHT

TO BE EXTINCT,

I WISH MY FATHER

COULD HAVE SEEN THIS,

UH, JUST GIVE ME

A COUPLE MINUTES,

MM-HMM,

SO, DOMINIC,

SLUMMING AGAIN?

WELL, WE DON'T ALL WEAR

OUR SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT

AS WELL AS YOU,

PLANNING ON AWAKENING

SLEEPING BEAUTY

FROM STASIS?

THE U, C, A, CHARTER

PERMITS GUESTS

TO AN ELITE EVENT,

PROVIDED

A CONJUGAL POTENTIAL EXISTS,

I'M IN COMPLIANCE

WITH THE CHARTER,

THANK YOU

VERY MUCH,

YOU HAVE A PROBLEM?

WELL, I'M NOT THE ONE

DATING THE WORKER,

SECOND-GENERATION ELITE...

THEY'VE NEVER SUPPORTED

INTERMARRIAGE,

AND YOU?

IT'S NOT

THE MOST CARDINAL OF SINS,

BUT IT'S ALSO

NOT THE WISEST MOVE RIGHT NOW,

IT'S A MOOT POINT,

SHE'S SLATED FOR RELOCATION

WITH ALL THE OTHER ALPHAS,

SUCH A DAMN WASTE,

I DON'T SUPPOSE

THERE'S ANY WAY

TO MAKE AN EXCEPTION?

SHE KNOWS THE MAINFRAMES

BETTER THAN ANY EXPERT WE HAVE,

WHAT ABOUT PROMOTING HER

TO AN ELITE?

CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG,

BUT WASN'T KAYLA POWERS ARRESTED

FOR QUESTIONING

THE STATUS QUO?

WELL, THE DIFFERENCE IS

I KNOW WHERE MY LOYALTIES LIE,

I HOPE SO,

THE COUNCIL WOULD HATE TO SEE

AN AMBITIOUS,

FORWARD-THINKER

LIKE YOURSELF

MISS OUT ON A CHANCE

AT ADVANCEMENT,

YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE

THAT I'M BEING CONSIDERED

FOR THE COUNCIL?

WELL, LET'S JUST SAY

THAT YOUR DENUNCIATION OF KAYLA

WAS SHREWDLY TIMED

AND DIDN'T GO

UNNOTICED,

SO, LIKE I SAID,

NOT THE WISEST OF MOVES

RIGHT NOW,

WHAT'S WRONG?

I'M SORRY,

CAN YOU TAKE ME HOME?

BUT THE PARTY'S

JUST BEGUN,

I DON'T BELONG HERE,

OH, NONSENSE,

YOU CAN TELL ME,

IT'S ALL RIGHT,

I KNOW THERE'S

NOT MUCH TIME

BEFORE YOU LEAVE

THE CITY,

BUT THAT DOESN'T, ,,

I'M IN LOVE,

IS THAT SO TERRIBLE?

IT IS WHEN YOU CAN'T BE

WITH THE ONE YOU LOVE,

SO YOU THINK THERE'S TOO MUCH

STANDING BETWEEN US?

OH, I'M SORRY,

DO YOU THINK, ,,

OH, I'M SORRY,

UH, ,,

SO, UH, ,,

WHO IS IT

YOU CAN'T BE WITH?

IS IT BECAUSE WHEN HE'S AWAKE,

YOU'RE NOT?

IT'S ERIC,

ISN'T IT?

PLEASE DON'T TELL ANYONE,

LISTEN TO ME,

YOU CAN'T BE WITH HIM,

YOU HAVE TO TELL HIM

NEVER TO CONTACT YOU AGAIN,

I CAN'T DO THAT,

LOOK,

DON'T BE NAIVE,

YOU KNOW THE WAY

THE WORLD WORKS,

IT CAN'T COME TO ANY GOOD,

THEY KEEP SAYING

THAT MAYBE AFTER RELOCATION,

THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT,

IT'S NOT

GOING TO CHANGE,

MAYBE AFTER

THE STRAIN ON RESOURCES, ,,

WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS

FOR TOO LONG,

IT WON'T CHANGE,

THINGS ARE WHAT THEY ARE,

I JUST THINK

THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY,

WE'VE TRIED

EVERYTHING ELSE...

CONSERVATION, BIRTH CONTROL, ,,

STASIS IS THE ONLY REASON

WE ARE ALIVE,

ANYTHING

THAT THREATENS THAT SYSTEM...

ANYTHING...

IS A THREAT TO THE HUMAN RACE,

AND THAT IS NOT

GOING TO CHANGE, LARISSA,

NOT TODAY, NOT TOMORROW,

NOT EVER,

COME ON,

I'M GOING TO

TAKE YOU HOME,

I KNOW THIS WON'T BE

EASY FOR YOU TO HEAR,

AND IT'S VERY HARD TO SAY, ,,

BUT THE TRUTH IS, ERIC,

THERE IS NO FUTURE FOR US,

I CAN'T POUR MY HEART

OUT TO YOU

NIGHT AFTER NIGHT,

IN THE FACE OF THAT REALITY,

SO BEFORE WE GET ANY DEEPER,

WE SHOULD JUST, ,,

PLEASE DON'T CONTACT ME

ANYMORE, ,,

AND PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTAND

THAT IT'S NOT BECAUSE

I DON'T LOVE YOU,

IT'S BECAUSE I DO,

I'M SORRY,

WHAT IS THIS?

TO LARISSA WHITESTONE

FROM ERIC WATERS...

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS REQUEST,

FIRST, WHEN DID WE START

ENCODING OUR ASSIGNMENTS?

SECOND, WHY WOULD WE NEED

TO IMPROVE THE THERMAL SHIELDING

ON THIS SAMPLE, ,,

AND WILL YOU EVEN

LISTEN TO THIS?

WILL YOU EVEN HEAR MY VOICE?

BECAUSE IF YOU DO, ,,

JUST KNOW THAT I MISS YOU,

THE U, C, A, PUT

A RUSH ON THIS PROGRAM

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS,

THEY'RE NOT GIVING US

MUCH TIME,

WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT,

FUEL-CELL INSTALLATION

IS NEARING COMPLETION,

ALL SYSTEMS

SHOULD BE OPERATIONAL

ON THE EVE

OF THE RELOCATION,

GOOD,

EXCUSE ME,

I APOLOGIZE, BUT IT'S URGENT,

WOULD YOU EXCUSE US?

I'M SORRY,

I JUST NEED TO SPEAK

TO SOMEONE I CAN TRUST,

YEAH,

SO, WHAT IS IT?

I HAVE TO KNOW

IF THERE'S ANY WAY

OF RELEASING SOMEONE

FROM STASIS?

I DIDN'T HEAR THAT,

NO, THE TRUTH, DOM,

PLEASE?

WHAT YOU WANT

IS NOT ONLY IMPOSSIBLE,

BUT IF ANYONE EVEN HEARD US

TALKING ABOUT THIS, ,,

WHAT ABOUT THE RESISTANCE?

PLEASE, ERIC,

LOOK, THIS CONVERSATION IS OVER,

GO HOME AND WE'LL BOTH FORGET

THIS EVER HAPPENED,

FORGETTING

SEEMS TO BE YOUR SPECIALTY,

YOU KNOW, DOM,

IT WASN'T THAT LONG AGO

THE TABLES WERE TURNED

AND YOU CAME TO ME

FOR HELP EVERY DAY,

DID YOU FORGET

WHAT YOU SAID TO ME

WHEN YOU WERE PULLED FROM STASIS

TO JOIN THE ELITE?

I SAID

WE WOULD ALWAYS BE FRIENDS,

THAT'S RIGHT,

YOU SAID WE'D BEEN THROUGH

FAR TOO MUCH NOT TO BE,

YEAH, WELL, KIDS SAY

A LOT OF FOOLISH THINGS,

YOU SON OF A BITCH,

YOU'RE WRONG ABOUT ME, ERIC,

I REMEMBER EVERYTHING,

I REMEMBER MY FATHER

SCRAPING TOGETHER HIS CREDITS

SO HIS CHILDREN WOULDN'T HAVE

TO SHARE THEIR SHOES

OR FREEZE TO DEATH

IN THEIR BEDS,

I REMEMBER MY MOTHER

SKIPPING DINNER

NIGHT AFTER NIGHT,

CLAIMING SHE WASN'T HUNGRY,

AND I REMEMBER

STANDING OVER HER GRAVE,

VOWING THAT THAT

WOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO ME,

SO YOU CAN PUT AWAY

THAT MORAL SUPERIORITY, BUDDY,

'CAUSE IT DOESN'T CUT IT,

YOU UNDERSTAND?

YEAH, I UNDERSTAND,

I UNDERSTAND PERFECTLY,

DROP IT,

NOW,

ERIC WATERS,

YOU UNDERSTAND

YOUR CRIME CARRIES WITH IT

A MANDATORY 10-YEAR SENTENCE?

HOWEVER,

THAT SENTENCE WAS COMMUTED

DUE TO AN URGENT APPEAL

BY AN ELITE MEMBER,

WHO HAS VOUCHED

FOR YOUR SKILLS

AS AN ENGINEER

AS BEING INDISPENSABLE,

DOMINIC LANGTON

HAS TAKEN

FULL RESPONSIBILITY

FOR YOUR FUTURE ACTIONS,

I TRUST YOU WILL NOT

VIOLATE HIS COVENANT,

I'M SORRY,

YOU'RE DISMISSED,

DON'T WORRY,

I'VE LET HER GO,

YOU'RE SURE HE'S THE KEY

TO FINDING OUR TRAITOR?

IF HE'S NOT

WORKING WITH THEM ALREADY,

THEY'LL CONTACT HIM SOON ENOUGH,

AND I'LL FIND OUT WHO IT IS,

ERIC WATERS

TO LARISSA WHITESTONE

REGARDING

REDESIGN OF VENTILATION SHAFT,

REQUIRE MORE INFORMATION,

WHY WOULD ANYONE

WANT AN AIR SHAFT

TO TRANSPORT WATER?

THE INDICATED SHAFTS

ARE OVER 1,200-FEET LONG,

THE ONLY BUILDINGS

BIG ENOUGH FOR THAT ARE, ,,

TRANSFER HALLS,

YOUR MOVE,

WHAT THE, ,,

73859,, ,

THERE'S ROOM

FOR MAYBE 24 TURBINES,

AND THE FUEL CELLS HAVE TO BE

PRETTY CLOSE TOGETHER

SO THE ENERGY WON'T DISSIPATE,

FUEL-CELL INSTALLATION

IS NEARING COMPLETION,

ALL SYSTEMS

SHOULD BE OPERATIONAL

ON THE EVE OF THE RELOCATION,

THE TURBINE ENGINE

RUNS ON SUPERHEATED WATER

PUMPING THROUGH IT,

HOW DO THEY EXPECT TO HEAT

THAT QUANTITY OF WATER

WITHOUT, ,,

WITHOUT FUEL?

AND WHY WOULD THEY

PUT A POWER PLANT

UNDER A TRANSFER HALL,

UNLESS, ,,

OH, MY GOD,

73859,

ALL SYSTEMS ON-LINE,

WE'RE READY TO START

THE FINAL TESTS,

REPLACE THE STASIS FLUID

WITH THE NEW MIXTURE,

COMBUSTION MIXTURE

FLOWING,

INITIATE POWER SURGE,

686 THERMS OF OUTPUT,

ENOUGH TO HEAT THE WATER

AND GET THOSE TURBINES RUNNING,

MULTIPLIED

BY THE MILLIONS OF ALPHAS

WHO WILL PERISH,

THE RELOCATION

WILL GIVE US ENOUGH ENERGY

TO RUN THE CITY FOR 3,4 YEARS,

INCREDIBLE,

I'M CLOSING UP, ERIC,

CAN'T IT WAIT?

WINSTON,

I READ PAGE 112,

I MISINTERPRETED ITS MEANING

AT FIRST,

I, ,,I HAVEN'T TOLD ANYONE,

TOLD ANYONE ABOUT WHAT?

I KNOW, WINSTON,

THAT YOU'RE A CONTACT

FOR THE RESISTANCE,

I THINK YOU'VE READ

ONE TOO MANY SPY NOVELS,

NO, I HAVE TO RELEASE HER

FROM STASIS,

I THINK YOU'D BETTER LEAVE,

THE ALPHAS

WILL BE MURDERED BY THE U, C, A,

THE TRANSFER HALLS

HAVE ALL BEEN CONVERTED

INTO DEATH CHAMBERS,

THERE IS

NO RELOCATION,

IF YOU ARE

PART OF THE RESISTANCE,

NOW IS THE TIME TO SPEAK UP,

PLEASE, WINSTON?

LOCK THE DOORS,

SO, EIGHT YEARS WITH RESISTANCE?

YEAH, AND THREE

AS LEADER OF THE LOCAL CELL,

SO YOU BELIEVE ME?

YES,

I'VE GOT TO GET WORD

TO THE OTHERS,

I'VE GOT TO GET LARISSA OUT,

EVERYONE WILL BE INCINERATED

BY THE NEXT TRANSFER,

WE'VE GOT HALF THE CITY

TO WORRY ABOUT,

ONE PERSON

IS HARDLY A PRIORITY HERE,

NO, WINSTON,

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND,

WE WORKED TOGETHER

ON THE PROJECT,

SHE KNOWS BACK DOORS

INTO THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEMS,

WEAKNESSES THEY'RE

NOT EVEN AWARE OF,

TOGETHER, WE COULD

SHUT THE SYSTEM DOWN,

I'M TAKING A GREAT RISK

DOING THIS,

SHE'S THE FIRST STEP,

WITH HER, WE COULD

RELEASE EVERYONE FROM STASIS,

IT'S NOW OR NEVER,

I'LL ADVANCE

HER STASIS CLOCK

TO 6:00 A, M, FRIDAY,

THE SYSTEM RUNS

A SELF-DIAGNOSTIC

AT RANDOM INTERVALS,

IT MAY NOTICE THE CLOCK'S

OUT OF SYNC WITH THE OTHERS,

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

ONCE WE INITIATE

THE WAKING MIXTURE,

THE SYSTEM

COULD DETECT IT

AND SOUND THE ALARM,

OKAY, CLOCK RESET,

STASIS FLUID SHUT DOWN,

AWAKENING-MIXTURE FLOWING,

DAMN! THE ALARM,

LARISSA, WAKE UP,

LARISSA, PLEASE,

YOU'VE GOT TO WAKE UP,

ERIC?

YEAH, IT'S ME,

COME, LET'S GO,

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

WE'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE,

WE CAN'T GO BACK

TO OUR QUARTERS,

THEY'LL BE LOOKING FOR US,

I'M SORRY

THAT I PUSHED YOU AWAY,

YOU KNOW, EVERY DAY WITHOUT YOU,

A LITTLE PIECE OF ME DIED,

ME TOO,

[ KNOCKING ]

I'M SORRY, BUT WE NEED LARISSA,

WE'VE ONLY GOT

A FEW HOURS LEFT

TO HACK INTO THE ELITE'S

COMPUTER SYSTEM

AND EXPOSE

THOSE FLAWS,

WE'VE GOT TO ACT QUICKLY,

[ BANGING ]

NOBODY MOVE!

YOU'RE ALL UNDER ARREST,

WINSTON,

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

THESE OLD BONES

HAVE BEEN THROUGH

A LOT WORSE,

DO YOU KNOW

WHAT THEY'VE DONE

WITH LARISSA?

NO, I'M SORRY,

LISTEN TO ME,

THEY HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT

WHO I AM YET,

BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE,

THEY WON'T HESITATE TO KILL US...

YOU, ME, LARISSA...

NOT TO MENTION YOUR INFORMANT,

MY INFORMANT?

THEY BELIEVE

SOMEONE IN THE ELITE

IS A TRAITOR...

SOMEONE YOU APPARENTLY KNOW...

SOMEONE WHO

SENT ACCESS CODES

TO RESTRICTED AREAS,

WE'VE GOT TO FIND

A WAY TO WARN HIM,

HE MAY BE OUR ONLY HOPE

THE STRUGGLE DOESN'T END HERE,

NO, NO, WINSTON,

I HAVE NO IDEA, ,,

WELL, YOU MUST HAVE SOME IDEA,

NO, WINSTON,

THE NUMBERS JUST APPEARED

ON MY COMPUTER,

I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU,

AND EVEN IF

I HAD A NAME,

HOW WOULD WE CONTACT HIM?

I HAVE THE FEELING

THEY'RE GOING TO RELEASE ME,

HOPING I'LL LEAD THEM

TO THE REST OF OUR CELL,

ERIC, YOU'VE GOT TO FACE IT,

THEY COULD

KILL LARISSA,

GOD KNOWS

WHAT THEY'LL DO TO HER FIRST,

THE SAFE HOUSE

THAT YOU BROUGHT US TO, ,,

NO ONE FOLLOWED US THERE,

HOW DID THEY FIND US?

WHAT DOES THAT MATTER?

THE IMPORTANT THING

IS THEY DID,

AND WHY WERE YOU

SO ANXIOUS

TO DEBRIEF LARISSA

ABOUT THE WEAKNESSES

IN THE STASIS COMPUTER?

YOU SAID

THE INFORMATION WAS INVALUABLE,

YEAH, BUT FOR WHO...

THE RESISTANCE OR THE ELITE?

WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT?

IT WAS YOU,

YOU SEE WHAT THEY'VE DONE?

THEY'VE SUCCEEDED

IN TURNING US

AGAINST EACH OTHER,

OR WE'VE BEEN AGAINST EACH OTHER

FROM THE BEGINNING,

IF YOU REALLY ARE ONE OF US,

THEN THEY WON'T CARE

IF I KILL YOU,

WILL THEY?

YOU STUPID BASTARD,

YOU HAVE NO IDEA

WHO YOU'RE SCREWING WITH,

I WANT TO KNOW

THE NAME OF THE PERSON

WHO GAVE YOU THE ACCESS CODES,

NOW!

RIGHT, THEN,

LET'S DO IT

THE HARD WAY,

LARISSA!

I'M ALL RIGHT,

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

HE'S NOT

A RESISTANCE OFFICER,

HE'S AN OPERATIVE

FOR STASIS ENFORCEMENT,

I TOLD YOU ALPHAS AND BETAS

DON'T MAKE GOOD MATCHES, ERIC,

BUT YOU DIDN'T LISTEN,

SO YOU'LL SIT BY AND WATCH

HALF THE CITY MURDERED?

ETHICS DON'T

INTEREST ME...

MUCH TOO MURKY FOR MY TASTE,

RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE CARE ABOUT

IS THE NAME

OF THE ELITE TRAITOR,

LARISSA,

YOU COULD END THIS,

AND THEN THE TWO OF YOU

CAN BE TOGETHER,

YOU SEE,

MY JOB IS SIMPLE...

TO EXTRACT INFORMATION,

AND I'VE BEEN GIVEN

CONSIDERABLE LATITUDE

IN HOW I GET IT,

NO, ERIC, NO,

DON'T TELL HIM ANYTHING,

THEN YOU ADMIT YOU KNOW?

I WANT THE NAME

OF THE INFORMANT,

AND THEN WE SHALL

CONTINUE OUR CONVERSATION

ABOUT THE FLAWS

IN OUR COMPUTER SYSTEM,

ALL STATIONS ALERT,

SECURITY BREACH,

FINE, KILL HER,

NO!

DON'T TAKE HER FROM ME,

I WANT TO KNOW THE NAME

OF THE INFORMANT!

NO!

DROP THE GUN!

GET THEM OUT OF HERE!

DOMINIC, ,,

THANK YOU,

COME ON,

LET'S GO,

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

TWICE THE POPULATION

AFTER THE SAME RESOURCES,

THERE WILL HAVE

TO BE SACRIFICES,

BUT AT LEAST

THEY'LL BE VOLUNTARY,

IT'S WHAT WE'VE

BEEN FIGHTING FOR,

SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

IT'S A NEW ERA,

I DON'T THINK ANYONE'S

GOING TO BE TOO ANXIOUS

TO REPEAT

THE SAME MISTAKES,

ALL THESE YEARS,

THEY'VE TAKEN

HALF OUR LIVES,

WELL, MAYBE THAT'S

THE PRICE WE HAD TO PAY

SO THAT IT DOESN'T

HAPPEN AGAIN,

THE PRICE

OF FREEDOM,

UNLESS HUMANKIND AWAKENS

TO THE NEED

TO PRESERVE ITS FUTURE,

IT MAY ONE DAY FIND ITSELF
