[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

YO,

ANDY,

BRYCE, LET ME CALL YOU BACK,

I JUST HIT LEVEL 12,

I'M AT THE OFFICE,

GOOD FOR YOU,

LET ME CALL YOU BACK,

SHUT UP AND LISTEN, ANDY,

WE'RE IN DANGER, ALL OF US,

I FOUND SOMETHING,

IT'S CALLED, ,,

IT'S CALLED PROMETHEUS,

COME ON, MAN,

I'M SO NOT IN THE MOOD

FOR ANOTHER ONE OF

YOUR CONSPIRACY THEORIES,

THIS ISN'T THEORY, IT'S FACT,

I'M DOWNLOADING

THE MAINFRAME SOFTWARE,

YOU'RE WHAT?

BRYCE, THAT'S ALL PROPRIETARY,

COLE'S GOING TO FREAK

WHEN HE FINDS OUT,

THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL ME, ANDY,

MY ONLY CHANCE IS TO, ,,

[ RUMBLING ]

OH, NO,

WHAT?

WHAT'S WRONG?

THEY'RE HERE,

WHO'S THERE?

BRYCE?

BRYCE!

COME ON,

COME ON, COME ON, FASTER,

HURRY,

HURRY!

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 DELUGE 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 CONCEI,

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,

WHEN WE ARE AWAKE AND INTELLECT

WITHIN OUR MACHINES,

WILL WE ENTER

A NEW ENLIGHTENED AGE

OR A MUCH DARKER ONE?

HEY, YOU,

I'VE BEEN GETTING

A LOT OF GRIEF,

OH, YEAH?

YEAH, YOUR COWORKERS

DON'T LIKE BEING SHOWN UP,

ONLY TWO WEEKS HERE

AND EVAN'S BROUGHT YOU IN

ON HIS PET PROJECT,

AND OF COURSE

EVERYONE'S BLAMING ME

BECAUSE

I BROUGHT YOU HERE

IN THE FIRST PLACE,

WELL, I CAN'T HELP IT

IF EVERYONE HERE

IS THREATENED BY MY TRUE GENIUS,

I THINK

IT'S YOUR MODESTY

THAT'S REALLY

GETTING TO THEM,

HERE I TOLD EVERYONE

MEGAN RECOMMENDED YOU

FOR PURELY PROFESSIONAL REASONS,

HEY, BRAINIAC,

YOU READY FOR HOOPS?

YEAH, I'M THERE,

I JUST HAVE TO

CHECK WITH EVAN

ABOUT SOMETHING,

OF COURSE YOU DO,

WOULDN'T WANT TO LEAVE

WITHOUT CHECKING IN WITH EVAN,

SEE?

YOU KNOW,

YOU TWO ARE, ,,

WHAT'S THE WORD

I'M LOOKING FOR?

OH, YEAH, PATHETIC,

[ KNOCKING ]

COME IN,

HEY, EVAN,

HEY, ZACH,

HOW'S EVERYTHING?

OH, GOOD,

WHAT'S THAT?

IT'S A PROTOTYPE FOR SOMETHING

I'M NOT PREPARED TO DISCUSS YET,

YOU HASH OUT THAT CODE FOR ME?

UH, YEAH, YEAH,

EXCELLENT,

ACTUALLY, THAT'S WHAT I WANTED

TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT,

THE CODE, IT DOESN'T SEEM

TO MAKE MUCH SENSE,

OH, YEAH?

I MEAN, I KNOW I ONLY HAVE

PART OF THE WHOLE PROGRAM,

BUT FROM WHAT I CAN TELL,

IT SEEMS TO BE CONTRADICTORY,

THAT'S BECAUSE YOU ONLY HAVE

PART OF THE PROGRAM,

DON'T WORRY,

IF YOU FOLLOWED THE PARAMETERS,

IT'LL BE FINE,

JUST E-MAIL IT TO ME

AND I'LL TAKE A LOOK,

IT'S IN YOUR MAILBOX,

I JUST WANT TO SAY

YOU'VE GROOVED IN

REALLY WELL HERE,

I THINK MEGAN WAS RIGHT,

WELL, THANKS,

ALTHOUGH I COULD USE SOMETHING

A BIT MORE CHALLENGING,

MORE CHALLENGING?

OKAY,

WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO,

COOL,

I'LL SEE YOU, EVAN,

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, DISAPPEARED?

I MEAN, LIKE, POOF,

LIKE HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE FOUND,

IN FIVE YEARS

OF WORKING AT QUANITRON,

WE'VE NEVER HAD ANYBODY

VANISH LIKE THAT,

YEAH, EVAN FLIPPED,

HE THOUGHT BRYCE

HAD TAKEN SECRETS,

THEN SOLD THEM,

BRYCE TOLD ME

HE WAS DOWNLOADING

MAINFRAME SOFTWARE,

WHOA, WHAT FOR?

WE DIDN'T GET THAT FAR,

HE GOT SPOOKED ABOUT SOMETHING,

RAN AWAY, AND NEVER CAME BACK,

MY SECURITY TEAM

DID A SWEEP OF THE SYSTEM,

WE DIDN'T FIND ANY

ILLEGAL DOWNLOADS,

NOTHING,

HIS APARTMENT?

WHEN HE LEFT,

HE DIDN'T LEAVE ANYTHING BEHIND,

THE PLACE WASN'T JUST SPOTLESS,

IT WAS STRIPPED,

THAT SOUNDS WEIRD,

THAT'S NOT THE HALF OF IT,

HE STARTED TALKING

ABOUT CONSPIRACIES,

SOME COMPUTER PROGRAM

NAMED PROMETHEUS,

WEIRD STUFF, MAN,

THE GUY WAS REALLY SCARED,

AND YOU DIDN'T

TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY?

WELL, YOU HAD TO KNOW BRYCE,

I MEAN, HE GOT PRETTY WEIRD

NEAR THE END, THERE,

HE STARTED SAYING

HIS COMPUTER WAS WATCHING HIM,

AND WOULDN'T GET INTO ELEVATORS,

IF YOU ASK ME,

I'D SAY BRYCE

IS A PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIC,

WHERE DO YOU EVEN GET THAT FROM,

GENIUS?

GIVE ME THE BALL,

WE'VE GOT TO WRAP THIS UP,

OH!

NOTHING BUT NET,

I'M NOT VOUCHING

FOR THE FOOD,

WHAT?

DIDN'T YOU TAKE THAT

COURSE ON SAUTEEING

AT MIT?

ACTUALLY,

MY DOCTORAL THESIS

WAS ON HOW TO GET OUT

THOSE REALLY PESKY STAINS,

REMEMBER?

WELL, THE FOOD

LOOKS GREAT, MEGAN,

THANKS FOR DOING THIS,

HOW WAS YOUR

BASKETBALL GAME TODAY?

UM, IT WAS NOT BAD,

NOT BAD,

WE TALKED ABOUT BRYCE,

YEAH, ANDY

WAS GOOD FRIENDS WITH HIM,

IT'S A REAL SHAME,

I GUESS HE JUST COULDN'T

HANDLE THE PRESSURE,

THERE'S A LOT OF SECRECY

AND SECURITY MEASURES

AT A COMPANY LIKE QUANITRON,

NOT TO MENTION

THE KILLER DEADLINES,

WELL, BRYCE

APPARENTLY TALKED ABOUT

THIS COMPUTER PROGRAM

CALLED PROMETHEUS,

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING

ABOUT IT?

NO,

IF IT'S SOMETHING AT QUANITRON,

I'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT,

WHATEVER IT IS,

IT FREAKED HIM OUT,

YEAH, WELL, I THINK BRYCE

IS A BIT NUTS TO BEGIN WITH,

HE'LL PROBABLY SHOW UP

AT THE AIRPORT AS A HARE KRISHNA

ASKING FOR DONATIONS

OR SOMETHING,

ENOUGH ABOUT BRYCE,

ZACH, I'M REALLY HAPPY

YOU FOUND YOUR PLACE HERE,

JUST LIKE OLD TIMES,

WELL, YOU CAN WIPE THAT SMILE

OFF YOUR FACE,

WHAT SMILE?

COME ON,

THAT AREN'T-I-GREAT-

FOR-FIXING-YOUR-LIFE-FOR-YOU

SMILE,

WELL, AREN'T I?

WHO SAID MY LIFE

NEEDED FIXING?

YOU'VE GOT TO ADMIT,

YOU WERE GETTING A REPUTATION,

WELL, GENIUS IS TEMPERAMENTAL,

WHAT CAN I SAY?

YEAH, WELL,

THERE'S TEMPERAMENTAL

AND THEN THERE'S TEMPERAMENTAL,

WELL, I PROMISE TO BE

ON MY BEST BEHAVIOR TONIGHT,

I HOPE NOT,

[ GLASS SHATTERING ]

ANYBODY THERE?

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

HELLO?

HELLO?

[ DIAL TONE ]

ZACH!

GOD,

YOU NEED TO HELP ME,

HOW'D YOU GET IN HERE?

THEY'RE AFTER ME, ZACH,

WHO? AND WHAT'S

WITH THE STUPID GLASS, ,,

ARE YOU THE ONE

WHO STOOD ME UP ON THE COURTS?

I COULDN'T COME, OKAY?

THEY'RE WATCHING,

THEY'RE INVISIBLE

AND THEY'RE WATCHING,

THROUGH YOUR PHONES,

COMPUTER, EVERYWHERE,

BRYCE WAS RIGHT, ZACH,

HE WAS RIGHT!

WHOA, OKAY,

PUT THE GUN DOWN, MAN,

COME ON, LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS,

THEY'RE FOLLOWING ME,

LOOK, I DON'T KNOW

IF THIS IS GOING TO STOP THEM,

BUT IT'S THE ONLY THING

I CAN THINK OF,

OKAY, YOU NEED TO HELP ME, OKAY?

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE I CAN TRUST,

WHY ME?

THEY HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO YOU YET,

WHO? WHO?

THE PEOPLE

WHO ARE TRYING TO KILL ME,

YOU KNOW WHAT?

WE'RE CALLING THE COPS,

NO COPS!

OKAY, OKAY, OKAY!

OKAY, JUST RELAX,

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

I NEED TO GET ACCESS

TO THE MAINFRAME,

ROOT ACCESS

TO THE MAINFRAME AT QUANITRON?

NO CAN DO, MAN,

NOT WITHOUT THE CODES,

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE,

EVERYONE KNOWS

YOU STARTED AS A HACKER,

THAT YOU HACKED INTO

THE PENTAGON'S DATABASE AT 14,

I AM A PROGRAMMER NOW, OKAY,

JUST LIKE YOU,

WE'RE GOING TO BREAK

INTO QUANITRON LATE TONIGHT

AND GET INTO

THE INTRAOFFICE NETWORK,

WHY?

PROMETHEUS! BRYCE WAS RIGHT,

IT EXISTS, AND IT'S, ,,

THEY'RE HERE,

ANDY, WHAT THE HELL

ARE YOU DOING?

ANDY!

ANDY?

NO!

ANDY!

[ GUNSHOTS ]

[ SCREAMING ]

ANDY?

ANDY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

HE WAS AGITATED,

HE SAID PEOPLE

WERE AFTER HIM,

WHAT PEOPLE?

LIKE I SAID, HE DIDN'T KNOW,

OH, MY GOD,

ZACH, ,,

ARE YOU OKAY?

YEAH, I'M FINE,

HOW DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT THIS,

MISS, ,,

RILEY,

MEGAN RILEY,

WE WORK TOGETHER,

I CALLED HER,

ANY IDEA WHY MR, WILSON

WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS?

NO,

I'D LIKE YOU TO COME BY TOMORROW

AND GO OVER IT ONE MORE TIME,

IF YOU DON'T MIND, MR, BENNETT,

SOMETIMES THINGS COME BACK

ONCE YOU GET A LITTLE DISTANCE,

YEAH, SURE,

THAT'S NO PROBLEM,

THANKS, LIEUTENANT,

LOOK, YOU CAN'T

STAY HERE TONIGHT,

NOT AFTER ALL THIS,

I WANT YOU TO

COME HOME WITH ME,

I STILL CAN'T FORGET

THE LOOK ON HIS FACE,

I'VE NEVER SEEN

ANYBODY THAT SCARED,

LET'S GET YOU

OUT OF HERE,

YEAH, GUYS, GO,

GO ON,

I'LL MAKE SURE

EVERYTHING'S CLEANED UP HERE,

THANKS, LOGAN,

I'LL TALK TO YOU

TOMORROW,

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

HMM, ,,HACKER,

WHERE DO YOU WORK?

THE NUTHOUSE,

WHAT IS OCCAM'S RAZOR?

EASY,

THE SIMPLEST SOLUTION

IS USUALLY THE RIGHT ONE,

HOW DO YOU, ,,

DEFINE THE EQUATION

F: S2-S2,

COME ON, GIVE ME A BREAK,

A GLOBAL FUNCTION

OF CELLULAR AUTOMATA,

I'M NOT AFRAID OF DEATH,

TRUE OR FALSE,

WHAT TYPE OF GAME IS THIS?

WHO SAID IT WAS A GAME?

INTERACTIVE,

INTERESTING,

WHO ARE YOU?

I'M A FRIEND, ZACH,

WHAT?

HOW DO YOU KNOW MY REAL NAME?

YOU ARE IN DANGER,

OKAY, THAT'S IT,

THEY ARE WATCHING YOU,

ANDY'S DEATH

WAS NOT A SUICIDE,

IT WAS A MURDER,

HEY, I MISSED YOU

LAST NIGHT,

DID YOU GET

MY MESSAGES?

ZACH?

YEAH, UH, YEAH,

SORRY,

I, UM, ,,

PREOCCUPIED,

OKAY, I'M OFFICIALLY

WORRIED ABOUT YOU,

LISTEN TO ME,

I'VE, I'VE GOT, ,,

YOU EVER HEAR

OF A WEBSITE

CALLED

FIDELIS VERES?

TRUE VISION?

NO, WHY?

I GOT ON THIS SITE

LAST NIGHT,

AND IT ASKED ME

ALL THESE QUESTIONS,

AND IT KNEW MY NAME,

THOUGH I HADN'T TOLD IT,

IT SAID

I WAS BEING WATCHED,

BY WHO?

I HAVE NO IDEA,

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

LOOK, GUYS,

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM

WITH INTEROFFICE RELATIONSHIPS,

BUT IF IT STARTS GETTING

IN THE WAY OF THE WORK, WELL, ,,

NO,

NO, WE WERE

JUST CONFERRING

ON A PROBLEM, EVAN,

OH, I SEE,

YOU SURE EVERYTHING'S OKAY?

YEAH, IT'S FINE,

YEAH, MEGAN WAS JUST HELPING ME

WITH SOME CODE, THAT'S ALL,

OH, REALLY?

WITHOUT YOUR COMPUTER?

SEE, WE LIKE TO KEEP

THOSE PUPPIES ON,

IT MAKES IT A LITTLE EASIER

TO WORK ON THEM,

I HAD TO TURN

THE THING OFF,

THE PROGRAM FROZE,

YEAH,

I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS,

WELL, IF I CAN TEAR MEGAN AWAY

FOR A MOMENT,

I THINK

SHE HAS SOMETHING TO SHOW ME,

THE RESULTS

OF THE NEW BETA TESTING,

OH, GOD, OF COURSE,

SORRY,

LATER,

THIS IS STUPID,

[ BEEPING ]

HELLO, ZACH,

THAT'S VERY CLEVER,

YOU'RE A HOLOGRAM

BEING GENERATED

BY WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY,

OBVIOUSLY,

FROM A TRANSMITTER SOMEWHERE,

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE

THAT CAN SEE AND HEAR ME,

WHO ARE YOU?

HOW'D YOU GET INTO MY APARTMENT?

YOU CAN CALL ME MERLIN,

TO REVEAL MY TRUE IDENTITY

WOULD BE DANGEROUS,

WHY?

EVAN COLE IS CREATING

A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

THAT WILL ALLOW ANY COMPUTER

TO INSTANTANEOUSLY TALK

TO ANY OTHER COMPUTER,

SO?

HE'S TRYING TO REACH

THE TIPPING POINT,

OKAY,

IF HE CAN ACHIEVE

INSTANTANEOUS COMMUNICATION

BETWEEN MILLIONS OF COMPUTERS,

HE BELIEVES THEY MAY ACT

AS NEURONS WITHIN A BRAIN,

CREATING ENOUGH COMPUTING POWER

TO INITIATE A CONSCIOUSNESS?

THE TIPPING POINT,

IN WHICH NONTHINKING COMPUTERS

MERGE

INTO A THINKING INTELLIGENCE,

IF COLE CAN ACHIEVE IT,

HE CAN CONTROL EVERY NATION'S

DEFENSE AND SECURITY SYSTEMS,

EVERY FINANCIAL MARKET,

EVERYTHING ON THE WEB,

SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING,

THAT HE'S GOING

TO RULE THE WORLD

BY USING COMPUTERS?

WE NEED TO TELL THE POLICE,

THE FBI, SOMEBODY,

AND WHAT WOULD YOU TELL THEM?

WHAT PROOF WOULD YOU GIVE THEM?

IT WOULD SOUND

AS RIDICULOUS TO THEM

AS IT JUST DID TO YOU,

YOU'RE RIGHT,

THEY WOULDN'T BELIEVE ME,

I DON'T EVEN KNOW

WHY I SHOULD BELIEVE YOU,

DEEP DOWN,

YOU KNOW I'M TELLING THE TRUTH,

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

THE DISK

THAT CAME WITH THE GLASSES

CONTAINS

A HIGHLY ENCRYPTED VIRUS,

ONE THAT WAS

SPECIFICALLY CREATED

TO DESTROY

THE PROMETHEUS PROGRAM,

THE VIRUS NEEDS TO BE INSERTED

INTO THE MAINFRAME AT QUANITRON

AT THE HIGHEST SECURITY LEVEL,

WHICH YOU CAN ONLY ACCESS

THROUGH THE COMPUTER

IN EVAN'S OFFICE,

YEAH, THAT'S A PIECE OF CAKE,

BEFORE YOU DO THAT, HOWEVER,

IT'S IMPORTANT YOU DOWNLOAD

ALL OF THE MAINFRAME SOFTWARE,

IF THE VIRUS ON THAT DISK

DOESN'T SUCCEED,

THE SOFTWARE

YOU PROVIDE US WITH

WILL BE INVALUABLE

IN CREATING A NEW VIRUS,

IS THAT IT?

BE CAREFUL,

TRUST NO ONE, NOTHING,

EXCEPT WHAT YOU CAN SEE

THROUGH THE GLASSES,

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, UH, ,,

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING,

I KNOW, THEY HAVEN'T WORKED

SINCE LAST NIGHT,

AND THESE ARE IDENTICAL

TO ANDY'S GLASSES THE NIGHT, ,,

YEAH, YOU SHOULD KNOW,

YOU'VE GOT THEM AT THE STATION,

ANDY WASN'T WEARING ANY GLASSES,

AND I'VE BEEN

THROUGH HIS THINGS,

OH, GOD,

WELL, THEY WERE THERE,

I SAW THEM,

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME

ABOUT THE GLASSES BEFORE THIS?

I FORGOT,

I'M SORRY, OKAY?

I WAS FREAKED OUT THAT NIGHT,

AND YOU THINK THAT DISCOVERING

THIS PROMETHEUS PROGRAM

IS WHAT LED TO ANDY'S DEATH?

WELL, YEAH,

IT'S THE ONLY THING

HE AND BRYCE BOTH TALKED ABOUT,

WELL, YOU KNOW ANDY WILSON

WAS DEEP IN DEBT,

HE'D BEEN TREATED

FOR DEPRESSION,

YEAH, YOU GOT ALL THAT

OFF THE WEB, RIGHT?

IT'S ALL NICE AND TIDY,

ISN'T IT?

I COULD GET INTO YOUR

PERSONAL FILES AT THE STATION

RIGHT NOW,

I COULD ADD OR DELETE

ANYTHING I WANTED TO,

CHANGE ANYTHING I WANTED TO,

I'M NOT SAYING I WOULD,

I'M JUST SAYING I COULD,

EVEN IF I COULD MANAGE

TO GET A WARRANT

TO GO THROUGH COLE'S MAINFRAME,

WHICH WON'T BE EASY, BY THE WAY,

I HAVE NO IDEA

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR,

IF YOU CAN GET ME

ACCESS TO THOSE FILES,

I CAN SEE THE CODE

FOR THE ENTIRE PROGRAM

AND TELL YOU WHETHER OR NOT

THIS THING REALLY EXISTS,

IF YOU DO THAT,

COLE WILL FIRE YOU,

GET THE WARRANT,

I'M SORRY, MAN,

MY HEAD

IS JUST NOT IN THIS,

IT'S OKAY,

MINE, EITHER,

ACTUALLY,

I WANTED TO TALK

TO YOU,

YEAH?

YEAH, ABOUT ANDY,

I TOLD THE COPS

EVERYTHING,

I KNOW,

I KNOW, AND I KNOW

THIS WILL SOUND

LIKE DENIAL,

BUT I JUST DON'T BUY

THIS SUICIDE STUFF,

ANDY WAS

A FRIEND OF MINE,

THERE'S NO WAY

HE WAS THE TYPE TO EAT A GUN,

THE COPS SAID HE HAD DEBT,

HE WAS DEPRESSED,

OH, BULL,

THE GUY HAD

ONE CREDIT CARD,

LIVED LIKE A HERMIT,

THERE'S NO WAY

WAS HE DEPRESSED,

DOESN'T FIT,

YOU SAW HIM

THAT NIGHT,

DID HE SEEM SUICIDAL

TO YOU?

NO, HE DIDN'T,

LOOK, I KNOW THIS IS

GOING TO SOUND CRAZY,

BUT I THINK EVAN MIGHT

HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO

WITH ANDY'S DEATH,

MAYBE HE HAD SOMETHING TO DO

WITH THIS PROMETHEUS PROGRAM

THAT BRYCE TOLD ANDY ABOUT,

I DON'T KNOW,

BUT SOMETHING'S

GOING ON HERE, ZACH,

AND I'M GOING TO FIND OUT

WHAT IT IS,

HOMICIDE,

UM, DETECTIVE SAUNDERS,

UM, ,,HOLD, PLEASE,

DETECTIVE GRAYSON,

ACTUALLY, I'M HOLDING

FOR DETECTIVE SAUNDERS,

I'M SORRY,

DETECTIVE SAUNDERS

IS DEAD,

WHAT?

I JUST, ,,I JUST TALKED TO HIM,

WELL, THERE WAS

A FREAK ACCIDENT,

AND I'M TAKING OVER

HIS WORKLOAD FOR NOW,

IS THERE SOMETHING

I CAN HELP YOU WITH,

MR, ,,

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

[ ANOTHER TELEPHONE RINGING ]

[ SEVERAL TELEPHONES RINGING ]

[ KNOCKING ]

COMING, I'M COMING,

OH, ZACH,

I'M SORRY, MAN,

I CAN'T GO HOME

OR TO MEGAN'S,

I DON'T WANT TO

BRING HER INTO THIS,

DO YOU HAVE A GUN?

WAIT, WHY?

I DON'T KNOW IF A GUN

WILL WORK AGAINST THESE,

IT'S LIKE THEY'RE MADE

OUT OF ELECTRICITY

OR SOME KIND

OF MICROWAVE ENERGY,

WHAT THINGS,

AND WHAT'S WITH THOSE GLASSES?

MERLIN SENT THESE,

LOOK, HE WAS RIGHT, LOGAN,

ABOUT EVERYTHING,

WHO THE HELL IS MERLIN?

ZACH, WHAT'S GOING ON?

PROMETHEUS, ALL RIGHT?

IT EXISTS,

ANDY AND BRYCE KNEW ABOUT IT,

THAT'S WHY THEY'RE DEAD,

NOW I KNOW ABOUT IT,

THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL ME,

WHO? EVAN?

YES, EVAN,

EVAN KILLED

ANDY AND BRYCE,

OH, I KNEW IT, SIT DOWN,

LET ME GET YOU A DRINK,

I DON'T WANT A DRINK, MAN,

WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT

WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO HERE,

WELL, WE'VE GOT TO

CALL THE COPS,

THAT DETECTIVE,

HE'S DEAD, TOO, LOGAN,

I TOLD HIM ABOUT THIS,

AND NOW HE'S DEAD,

LOOK, MERLIN SAID

TO TRUST NO ONE,

I'M RISKING YOUR LIFE

BY EVEN BEING HERE,

WE'VE GOT TO DO THIS OURSELVES,

OKAY,

OKAY,

NOW, ONCE PROMETHEUS

GOES OPERATIONAL,

EVAN WILL BE ABLE

TO CONTROL EVERY COMPUTER,

NOW, WE'VE GOT TO STOP HIM

BEFORE HE CAN DO THAT,

I'M WITH YOU, BUT HOW?

I'VE GOT TO FIND A WAY

OF BREAKING BACK INTO QUANITRON,

I'VE GOT TO DOWNLOAD

THE MAINFRAME SOFTWARE,

NOW, CAN YOU GET ME IN?

YEAH,

YEAH, I CAN,

BUT IT'S NOT

GOING TO BE TONIGHT,

I'VE GOT TO MAKE SOME CALLS,

I KNOW SOME GUYS

WHO ARE REAL GOOD

AT BREAKING INTO PLACES

AND NOT GETTING CAUGHT,

NOW, YOU DON'T GO HOME TONIGHT,

AND DON'T GO TO WORK

IN THE MORNING,

TOMORROW NIGHT,

WE'LL BREAK IN,

WE'RE GOING TO NEED

A DIVERSION,

SOMETHING

TO DRAW THEIR ATTENTION,

LET ME WORK ON THIS, OKAY?

ZACH, DON'T WORRY,

WE'RE GOING TO

GET THESE BASTARDS,

YEAH,

IN THE MEANTIME,

YOU SHOULD

GET SOME SLEEP,

[ BEEPING ]

OH, NO,

WHAT'S THAT?

IT'S A, UH,

PROTOTYPE OF SOMETHING

I'M NOT PREPARED TO DISCUSS YET,

OH, COME ON,

WHAT THE HELL?

OH, GOD!

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

I'VE BEEN CALLING YOU

ALL NIGHT,

WH, ,,

WHAT?

TURN YOUR HEAD,

THE OTHER WAY,

MERLIN SAID TO TRUST NO ONE,

OKAY, COME HERE,

WHAT?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE

WE'RE NOT BEING MONITORED,

YOU KNOW ABOUT HIM,

ABOUT MERLIN?

I SUSPECTED

YOU TALKED TO HIM TODAY, TOO,

BUT I COULDN'T SAY ANYTHING,

I HAD TO BE SURE,

THANK GOD,

HOW DID YOU FIRST

FIND OUT ABOUT HIM?

IT'S BEEN AWHILE,

BUT SINCE BRYCE,

I'VE BEEN AFRAID TO DO ANYTHING,

I SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING,

NO, I UNDERSTAND,

LOOK, LOGAN IS IN ON IT, OKAY?

HE'S ON THE OTHER SIDE,

OH, MY GOD,

OKAY, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

WE'VE GOT TO GET OUT

OF THIS APARTMENT,

THEY'RE SURE TO

COME LOOKING FOR ME,

YOU KNOW, MY GUESS IS

THAT THEY'RE NOT EXPECTING ME

TO GO BACK TO QUANITRON TONIGHT,

I'M GOING TO GO BACK

AND INSERT THIS VIRUS,

I'M GOING WITH YOU,

YOU CAN'T, IT'S TOO DANGEROUS,

IF THEY CATCH US, WE'RE DONE,

SO I WANT YOU TO MEET ME

IN FOUR HOURS

IN THAT PARK

BY THE BASKETBALL COURTS,

OKAY,

WHERE ARE YOUR GLASSES?

I LEFT THEM AT LOGAN'S,

TAKE THESE,

NO, YOU NEED THEM,

YOU CAN GIVE BRING THEM

BACK TO ME IN THE PARK,

IF I DON'T MEET YOU...

YOU WILL,

YOU GET OUT OF THIS CITY,

YOU GET AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN,

THEN TELL THE FBI EVERYTHING,

YOU PROMISE ME THAT,

I PROMISE,

I'M SORRY,

I'M SORRY MERLIN

GOT YOU INTO THIS, MEGAN,

I'M SCARED, ZACH,

SO AM I,

ALL RIGHT, GET OUT OF HERE,

HELLO, ZACH,

I'VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU,

PROMETHEUS?

DON'T LOOK SO SURPRISED,

I'VE BEEN WATCHING

EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE,

I HAVE ACCESS

TO ALL THE SECURITY CAMERAS

IN THE CITY,

AND THE CAMERAS

HOOKED UP TO HOME COMPUTERS,

LIKE THE ONE IN YOUR APARTMENT,

IN FACT,

THERE ARE VERY FEW PLACES

I CAN'T SEE,

THAT DISK YOU'RE HOLDING,

IT'S THE VIRUS, ISN'T IT?

COME NOW, ZACH,

WE'RE SMARTER THAN THIS,

GOOD EVENING, EVAN,

HOW DO YOU LIKE PROMETHEUS?

THE MOST ADVANCED

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

EVER CREATED,

AND I SHOULD KNOW,

'CAUSE I CREATED HIM,

HI, ZACH,

ARE YOU SAYING

YOU'VE ALREADY DONE IT?

YOU'VE CREATED AN AI PROGRAM?

OH, HE'S NOT JUST A PROGRAM,

HE IS A THINKING ENTITY,

IT'S ABLE TO ABSORB DATA,

ANALYZE IT,

FORM ITS OWN OPINIONS,

MAKE ITS OWN DECISIONS?

INSTANTLY

AND INDEPENDENTLY,

AND I AM CONSTANTLY EVOLVING...

GROWING, YOU MIGHT SAY,

AND THIS IS WHAT

YOU'RE GOING TO USE

TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD?

OH, NOTHING SO JAMES BOND,

IT'S NOT ABOUT TAKING OVER,

THAT IS OLD THINKING,

TIRED THINKING,

THIS ISN'T

REVOLUTION, ZACH,

IT'S EVOLUTION,

COMPUTERS CONTROL MORE AND MORE

OF OUR LIVES EVERY DAY,

THEY CONTROL OUR CARS,

OUR PLANES,

OUR COMMERCE,

OUR HOMES,

OUR TELEPHONES,

EVEN OUR TOASTERS

AND OUR COFFEE MAKERS,

AND PEOPLE LET THEM,

DO YOU KNOW WHY?

BECAUSE PEOPLE LOVE

THEIR TECHNOLOGY,

THEY LOVE

THE COMFORT AND SECURITY

THAT IT BRINGS,

PEOPLE HAVE BECOME DEPENDENT

ON THEIR MACHINES,

SOON THEY WILL GIVE OVER

CONTROL OF THEIR LIVES,

AND THEY WILL DO SO WILLINGLY,

HOW CAN YOU BE SO SURE?

BECAUSE THIS GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE

I'VE CREATED

WILL MAKE THEM FEEL

SAFE, SECURE, AND CARED FOR...

NO MORE HUNGER,

NO MORE WAR, NO MORE FEAR,

WHAT HAPPENS

WHEN THE SKILLS NEEDED

TO RUN THIS

BRAVE NEW TECHNOLOGICAL WORLD

EXCEED THE ABILITY

OF HUMANS?

THE ONLY WAY OUR SPECIES

WILL BE ABLE TO SURVIVE

IS TO MERGE WITH OUR TECHNOLOGY,

IS THAT WHAT PROMETHEUS

PROMISED YOU?

IT'S ALREADY BEGUN, ,,

AND ZACH, YOU CAN BE

ONE OF THE CHOSEN ONES,

YOUR CODE-WRITING ABILITY

WILL ALLOW PROMETHEUS ACCESS

TO COMPUTERS EVERYWHERE,

THAT IS THE NEXT STEP,

FORGET IT,

DON'T DISAPPOINT US, ZACH,

ZACH, I PICKED YOU

OVER TENS OF THOUSANDS

OF PROGRAMMERS

I COULD HAVE HIRED,

BECAUSE YOU HAD

EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED,

I KNOW YOU, ZACH, I AM YOU,

YOU ARE NOTHING LIKE ME,

REALLY?

I GREW UP FEELING APART,

DIFFERENT,

MY INTELLIGENCE DISTANCED ME

FROM EVERYBODY,

MY PEERS RESENTED ME,

MY PARENTS PARADED ME AROUND

LIKE

SOME KIND OF SIDESHOW FREAK,

DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR?

I NEVER MET ANYBODY

I COULD BELIEVE IN OR RESPECT,

NOT MY TEACHERS, MY PARENTS,

THEY ALL FELT HOLLOW AND FAKE,

EVEN GOD,

SO I CREATED MY OWN GOD,

ONE THAT I COULD TRULY RESPECT

AND WHO WOULD TAKE CARE OF US,

A NEW RELIGION

THAT IS GOING

TO MAKE THIS WORLD

A BETTER PLACE,

JOIN ME IN THAT WORSHIP, ZACH,

NO,

WELL, THAT'S A SHAME, ,,

'CAUSE I, UH, ,,I DID ENJOY

WORKING WITH YOU,

I BELIEVE YOU'VE MET

SOME FRIENDS OF MINE,

THERE'LL BE NO ESCAPE

THIS TIME, ZACH,

MEGAN, ,,MEGAN!

ZACH!

TAKE THE GLASSES,

LOOK FOR THEM,

THERE'S NOTHING,

WHAT HAPPENED?

THEY CAUGHT ME,

I DIDN'T INSERT

THE VIRUS,

THEY WERE TRYING

TO KILL ME,

PROMETHEUS IS AN AI PROGRAM,

IT'S GOING TO TAKE OVER,

ZACH, ,,

YOU'VE GOT TO GO,

THEY'RE COMING AFTER ME,

NO, I'M NOT LEAVING YOU HERE,

YOU HAVE TO COME WITH ME,

NO! MEGAN, LISTEN TO ME,

I'M DYING,

YOU'VE GOT TO FIND MERLIN,

YOU'VE GOT TO TELL HIM

WHAT HAPPENED,

HE'S OUR ONLY HOPE,

NO,

WE'RE GOING TO FIND YOU

A DOCTOR,

YOU LISTEN TO ME,

I NEED YOU,

ZACH, I BROUGHT YOU IN

TO HELP ME STOP EVAN,

THAT WAS MY PLAN

FROM THE VERY BEGINNING,

ZACH, I'M MERLIN,

DID YOU HEAR ME?

I'M MERLIN,

WHAT? WHAT IS IT?

DAMN,

EVAN WAS RIGHT,

HE SUSPECTED YOU,

I NEVER DID,

NO, ,,

NO,

I DON'T UNDERSTAND,

YOU WANT TO DESTROY PROMETHEUS

AS MUCH AS I DO,

YOU'RE RIGHT,

I DID,

BUT I WAS WRONG, ,,

AND I WISH

YOU COULD SEE IT, MEGAN,

IT'S AN AMAZING PROGRAM,

IT'S GOING TO CHANGE THE WORLD

FOREVER,

AND I, FOR ONE,

AM GOING TO WELCOME IT,

BUT I'VE GOT TO ADMIT,

I HAD TO GO THROUGH

A BIT OF EXCRUCIATING PAIN

BEFORE I COULD SEE THE LIGHT,

NO, THIS CAN'T BE POSSIBLE,

WHY?

I'M AFRAID YOU PICKED

THE WRONG PERSON

TO BE YOUR HERO, MEGAN,

YOU KNOW I WAS NEVER

A BIG BELIEVER

IN THE SYSTEM,

THE OLD WAY OF DOING THINGS,

BUT NOW I FOUND MY GOD,

I LOVED YOU,

I KNOW, ,,

AND I'M SORRY,

LOOK, I'M DONE

FEELING LIKE A FREAK,

IT'S A BRAVE NEW WORLD,

AND I PLAN ON BEING

AT THE TOP OF IT,

UNFORTUNATELY FOR YOU,

GETTING RID OF MERLIN

IS MY TICKET IN,

HEY, PROMETHEUS,

HE'S WATCHING US,

HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE

THAT YOU WERE THE ONE,

NO,

YOU CAN'T FIGHT EVOLUTION,

IN TRYING TO CREATE

MACHINES THAT THINK,

WE SHOULD TAKE CARE

THAT WE DON'T END UP

CREATING A NEW RACE
