"(male announcer, off)" "With the passage of the Freedom of Observation act, a new and mighty weapon in the war on terror was placed in our hands." "The first major step mandated under the new law was to unite the vast array of separate public and private surveillance cameras throughout our nation into a single network-- the Optical Defense Intelligence Network," "named ODlN ." "ODlN monitors every form of domestic electronic communication for criminal activity." "The most visible and highly successful addition to our eye line has been the introduction of a powerful new set of state-of-the-art mobile robotic surveillance cameras known as Eyeborgs."

"Barbara Hawkins." "What happened here this evening?" "Nothing. lt's all over." "We heard reports of gunshots from this establishment." "Yeah, there were gunshots." "And why was that?" "Because guns were being fired." "Was there a reason, or are you and your men just the sort to enjoy shooting off their loads while people watch?" "Not if you're filming it." "Good night, Ms. Harpy." "Hawkins." "Just in the nick of too late." "You know, they have machines that'll do your job now, minus the lip." "We're off." "[bored] To make the news." "You just got careless." "I didn't do it." "Are you saying I can't trust what I see with my own eyes?" "You're not seeing it with your own eyes." "You're seeing it with their eyes." "All right." "Let's talk about last night." "The kid." "You were trying to kill him." "Why?" "The kid is a stepping stone." "To the president?" "He's not the president." "He was never elected into office." "Funny, I thought we had an election." "Not an election, a coup!" "Computerized voting." "No paper trail." "The exit polls showed him trailing the whole day, and then some computer announces he's our new president?" "Oh, this guy looks like the love child of Charles Manson and Karl Marx." "Ew." "He doesn't look like a Marx brother." "Oh, cute." "Their guy wins, it's democracy." "Our guy wins, it's a coup." "Actually, I voted for the other guy." "Really?" "Uh-huh." "Me, too." "Oh." "You want some coffee?" "And the only way we can take America back is to kill Benjamin Hewes." "President won't be in town for another two weeks." "And you knew you didn't have two weeks, so you went after the kid." "You're just putting nails in freedom's coffin." "My job is to protect freedom and the people of this nation from those that would do them harm." "In that case, we're on the same side." "What say we go after that son of a bitch Hewes together?" "You realize you're facing federal charges." "Under the Freedom of Observation Act, it is a government offense to tamper with, disable, or otherwise interfere with the operation of an official observation device, which basically means you're screwed, 'cause you're going to pay for that Eyeborg you shot." "Now, take some time and come up with some names by the time I get back." "How about Kyle?" "And Sharon?" "Damn shame what happened to your family." "I am sorry about that." "I'm sure you are."

"I have no comment." "Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you." "Wait." "Decaf." "There was a shooting last night at a public facility." "Turn that camera off." "No, don't turn the camera off." "You have no right to film in this building." "I do, I am in the lobby." "Turn that camera off or I'll shoot you." " He can't shoot you." " l will shoot you." "He is allowed to be in the lobby." "Everybody wants to be a comedian." "What's that all about?" "Hey, drink up." "First they ban cigarettes." "This will be next." "[crackling] [zap]" "Huh?"

"Jack." "Horrible turn of events, Barbara." "Absolutely horrible." "Thank you, Barbara." "In other news, President Benjamin Hewes..." "My uncle's politics take a turn to fucking derangement land, and people want to take it out on me." "I mean, I haven't even seen him since I was a little kid." "I don't even know him anymore, you know?" "I wouldn't vote for the son of a bitch, and we're related." "Jarett, at least you're still alive." "I mean, God knows I never thought I'd say this." "As much as those Eyeborg things creep me out, you would be dead if it weren't for them." "Tsk." "Mm." "Look, I am sure the guitar man can fix her up." "Yeah, well, if G-Man can't, no one can." "I could use a little fixing, too." "Hm!" "Yeah?" "Oh, look." "It's your uncle." "As president, there is nothing more important than protecting the people." "Great." "Now he's cutting into my sex life, too." "That is why I supported the Freedom of Observation Act." "Now, with my new law, every camera in the nation, as well as millions of mobile units, have been linked directly into ODlN." "Man, millions of mobile units." "...a network that never sleeps, never rests, and never stops looking out for you." "(Senator) Yesterday, the State Department issued yet another terror alert, this time citing the nation of Zimbekistan." "What?" "Zimbekistan?" "Are they your next target, Mr. President?" "How many more nations will we invade before you're satisfied we're safe?" "(Jill) The final debate will be held next week, with our own Winston Salem playing host to the president's contingent." "Jamie Kell reports." "Jill, I'm standing outside the Millennium Center, from which the president's side of the debate will be broadcast." "(Jarett) I'm gonna be there." "I cannot believe you convinced me to play this fundraiser." "Oh, stop whining." "He is desperate for the younger vote, and you need the gig." "Just take advantage of it and invite some fans along." "Yeah, right." "He won't even let me bring the band." "He only speaks in front of invited, supporting crowds, for security reasons." "As with previous debates, the candidates are in different locations to create a less centralized target for terrorists." "What are you doing?" "Do you remember that wedding gig you did last month?" "The two ladies who got married." "No, the other one." "Oh, the foreign guy?" "There has definitely been a bank error." "Come and check it out." "Only individuals especially invited by the president are permitted inside the debate hall." "Obviously he liked us." "Obviously a computer hair-balled up a decimal point in the wrong place." "I mean, I'll have the bank fix it, but do you remember that terror alert on the news, about Zimbekistan?" "Yeah?" "Well, that's where all this money came from." "What?" "Yeah." "Oh, shit!" "Ronni, the last thing I need is for the government to think that I'm in some kind of business with terrorists." "I mean, if Uncle B's opponents get ahold of that, this could be really serious." "I know, I know, I will have it fixed by tomorrow." "Look, who never fails you?" "My Ronni." "That's right." "Don't ever forget it." "I'm glad you failed once." "Yeah, me too." "Or I'd have never met you." "You know the most romantic thing you ever said to me?" "Um, put on this collar and bark like a dog?" "No, but that was dope." "[laughter]" "The first time we talked" "Mm-hm?" "Jarett, just shut up and fuck me already." "Uh, yeah, that was it." "[no audio]" "No, no, play it again." "That's not what happened. I locked that door." "I keyed in the codes." "I got the red light." "Not according to odin." "Database confirms what the cameras show." "You keyed the unlock code twice." "Then the database is wrong." "Are you postal?" "There's nothing wrong with the database." "You keyed the wrong codes." "Video shows it, and computer records confirm it." "It's wrong." "I locked that door." "What are you saying?" "I can't trust what I can see with my own eyes?" "Jim, you were there." "What happened?" "I'm sorry, I didn't see it." "What do you mean, you didn't see?" "You were standing next to me." "You were upset." "You've keyed those codes a thousand times." "This time, you made a mistake." "And that's how I'm writing it up, all right?" "E.O.F." "Play it again." "George!" "George, you can't do an end of file on this one." "Because?" "Because Sankur was trying to kill the president." "What if he wasn't working alone?" "No one was working with Sankur." "How do we know that?" "Because the head office said so." "They've had this fruit basket flagged and monitored ever since he checked out The Anarchist's Cookbook from the local library." "He was a lone nut." "Now he's a dead nut." "Well, at least let Bradley and I check out his apartment." "Jesus, Gunner!" "We might find" "Don't you get it?" "You've got good friends in high places, probably because your testimony helped get the Eyeborg system on-line." "Aw, come on!" "Don't pull that on me, George!" "(George) But push this too far-- and someone may press charges for negligence." "Don't let one mistake ruin a great career." "I'm not ordering you as a supervisor." "I'm telling you as a friend." "Let it go!" "What kind of a tenant was Sankur?" "He was very, very quiet, and he was very strange." "They always are." "Oh, am I gonna be on television?" "Maybe." "Oh." "Oh." "These doors kind of stick." "Oh, there we go." "Thank you." "We won't be long." "Oh, take your time." "You know, I'm a fan of yours." "Oh, thank you." "Bye." "Thank you." "Bye bye." "Whoa." "Suddenly the clutter in my apartment doesn't seem that bad." "Gunner said they were done here, but it doesn't look like anybody's been in here!" "There's got to be something really good here." "Ho, ho, ho." "Here's something good." "Mr. Deller's, it's been such a long time." "How are you doing?" "Eric, don't even look at this." "I've got it under control." "It's like running into your ex-wife." "Glad to be rid of her, but there were some good times." "Come on, Eric, give it-- You take this and I'll take this." "Pry it loose." "Pry it loose." "Pry it loose." "Okay." "Oh!" "Look at this, look at this, look at this." "What?" "What?" "This is the kid, the punk rocker that Sankur attacked the other night." "He's related to the president." "He's related to the president." "That's what Gunner was hiding!" "Yeah, probably worried you'd report it." "[coughs]" "And risk losing my reporter's license?" "I don't think so." "Do you think he's hiding something else?" "Yeah, he did seem a little tense." "A little tense?" "He threatened to shoot me." "Wait a minute, wait a minute." "Sankur claimed this DHS footage wasn't real." "is it possible that this is fake?" "Sure. I mean, computers these days" "Anybody can make a computer composite." "But to make it realistic-looking and rendered in real time?" "Now you're talking some serious processing power." "Would you check it out for me, please?" "Worth a bottle of Deller's?" "No, it's not." "I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding." "Of course I'll do it for you, Barbara." "Come on!" "We're off!" "Off to make the news, baby."

"So yeah, if a terrorist is about to blow up a building, and there's no cops around to stop it, then an Eyeborg can stop it." "Exactly." "What is wrong with that?" "What's wrong with it?" "Yeah." "It's not limited to just terrorists blowing up buildings." "What if an Eyeborg catches you doing something wrong, and no one's around to stop it?" "It can do whatever it wants." "They're just security cameras." "What if it's not just a camera?" "What if somebody puts a weapon in it?" "Think about it."

"Eric, hey, what's up?" "I did what you asked." "I went over Sankur's homicide video, and guess what I found?" "What?" "Pixel blending." "What does that mean?" "If you create a 3-D object in a computer, you can render it with 2-D, but if the angle's too steep, you get artifacts." "The only way to get something like that perfect is to have a 3-D scan of the person." "Without that, there's always some flaw to give it away." "In Sankur's clothing, there's an area where it looks like-- You guessed it-- Pixel blending." "So does that mean the video could be fake?" "That's what I just said." "Oh, I knew something was up." "Beam it over to me right now." "Um, this system's not networked." "What, are you in the Stone Age?" "It keeps from getting viruses, all right?" "Hold on." "Okay." "Look, I got the chip in hand."

"I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "No, I'm okay." "I'm okay." "I'm okay." "We died Eric leaving the station." "And these are from the traffic camera." "Eyewitness said he nearly killed her when he ran a red light." "He was all over the road, completely out of control." "Were you aware that Eric had a history of alcohol abuse?" "Yes, but he was always so definite that his drinking was in the past." "Why did you call us?" "This was a traffic accident." "What made you think it was a DHS matter?" "This is going to sound a little crazy now, but I had Eric analyze the Sankur homicide video." "Why?" "Sankur said the video wasn't real, and Eric's a video expert, so I had him analyze it." "He said it looked fake." "He was coming to show me." "Report from the forensic guy." "Sounds a lot less plausible coming from a drunk." "But he didn't sound drunk." "Computer analysis." "Shows he had almost a full bottle today." "I'm sorry." "But he didn't sound drunk." "[distant traffic sounds]" "(Gunner) Coffee?" "So how'd you find me here?" "My little friend showed me." "Oh, yeah. I keep forgetting you are the father of the Eyeborgs." "That's not my favorite title." "It's just that everybody knows that if it weren't for you, the ODlN system would never have gone beyond the testing stage." "That's because I testified in front of the senate committee, and you reported how I felt." "Look, Gunner, I had a story to do, and it was about how you felt." "You weren't just another law enforcement officer bucking for a tool." "Your story-- What happened to your family" "That is what moved people." "I just wanted to catch the bastard that killed my wife and took my son." "I know." "And you got the Eyeborgs instead." "Yeah, and a very nice note from the vice president, thanking me for my support on his pet project." "Look, how close were you with Eric?" "He was like a little brother." "He was a pest sometimes, but I don't know what I'm going to do without him." "If he was drinking again, do you think he would have hidden it from you?" "Like you hiding that the kid who was attacked the other night was the president's nephew?" "You are on a need to know basis." "I couldn't have his identity compromised by putting his name on the air." "Do you know what this is?" "A journalist's license." "When the government started requiring that journalists be licensed, most of my colleagues quit, but I stayed." "Do you know why?" "Because my husband was killed in the last attacks, and I swore I'd do whatever I could to prevent anyone from having to feel that kind of pain." "Other reporters called me a traitor, but I believe in what I did, so don't treat me like I can't be trusted." "Are you certain that Eric was right about the video?" "Absolutely. I am positive." "Because if you report what I'm about to tell you, we could both be brought up on Patriot Act charges." "Well then, I guess it's all about trust, then, isn't it?" "I must be losing my mind." "Fine." "There are things" "(slightly distorted) Small things, but a lot of them."

"(female reporter) Why did the president veto a bill designed to prohibit domestic deployment?" "Terrorism knows no borders." "Now, the president and I are gonna be exploring every option available to make sure that we protect all the citizens of this country." "[cell phone rings] [machinery garbles]" "Go." "You got to stop the project." "is your line encrypted?" "It doesn't matter." "They know." "Where are you?" "Look, I don't think I have much time." "You--you got to cancel the project."

"(Jarett) I saw an Eyeborg rushing out, and it attacked me." "Eyeborgs aren't allowed on private property without a warrant." "I know that." "There's no warrant issued for this property, so there's no way there was an Eyeborg inside." "Video surveillance in the alley." "No, no, that's not right." "No, it wasn't a man." "It was an Eyeborg." "It was one of those, it was one of the big spidery ones." "Yeah, but I see a man." "But you're not seeing through your eyes." "You're seeing with their eyes." "I saw what I saw." "What are you doing?" "Are you going nuts?" "I'd like to know if my partner's going nuts before you get us both killed." "I don't know, Jim." "Just cut me some slack." "I'm working on something." "is that the guitar G-Man repaired?" "Yeah." "G-Man was the best." "Can I take her?" "Sure. it's not evidence." "Try to stay out of trouble." "I just want to go home and be with my girl." "[officers laugh]" "Guilty conscience there, partner?" "[beeping]" "(Jarett) ls this a joke?" "Come on." "Come on, son." "I'll buy you some ice cream." "My momma warned me about guys like you." "Thank you, Iris." "Ahhh." "Isn't this fabulous?" "Sure you don't want some?" "It's freedom vanilla." "What's the deal, man?" "Am I under arrest here?" "I mean, every time something bad happens-- l thought this would be a safe place to talk." "And now G-man is dead." "I thought this would relax you a little bit, because you seem to be very tense most of the time." "Now, of course, I'm eating freedom vanilla ice cream in an exotic car wash with a DHS officer." "I believe you saw an Eyeborg the other night." "Thank you." "I can't be certain, but I think someone hacked into the ODlN system and is controlling them." "Focus!" "What?" "Yeah, no, I know." "I thought there were-- l think someone's trying to kill the president." "Huh?" "Are you kidding me?" "No, I'm not." "Someone" "Someone has compromised our surveillance system." "Like who?" "Like terrorists." "Ooh, terrorists." "I'm so scared." "The government made the Eyeborgs, they control the Eyeborgs, but if something goes wrong, it's never the government's fault." "There's a traitor somewhere, somewhere probably high up in government office." "Maybe even inside the DHS." "What do you want me to do about it?" "I need you to contact the president." "You have found the wrong guy for that." "We're talking about his life here." "I can't do that." "Why not?" "You're the only one that can go directly to him." " They won't believe me." " Why not?" "They won't believe me." "Look, there is an entire branch of government that's set up to protect him." "You don't need me." "Listen, son." "Whether you want to be involved in this or not, you are." "Now, you, the president, and anyone connected to you could be in serious danger." "(Ronni) We don't know anyone in Zimbekistan." "So what you're telling me is that this money came from the government of Zimbekistan, and not a private individual?" "Well, you or somebody higher up than you is gonna get this money back to Zimbekistan if we have to be here till Gulf War 7 breaks out." "Capisce?" "All right, I expect to hear from you within the hour." "Thank you." "[objects clatter]" "[exhales]" "[clatter]" "[gasp]" "Get-- Get--get out." "Get out." "Shoo." "Get out!" "You're not supposed to be in here." "Fine. lf you won't get out, I will." "[gasping]" "Call Jarett." "Call" "Call Jarett." "(female recorded voice) I'm sorry, command not understood." "Call--Jarett!" "[keypad beeps]" "[phone rings]" "Hey, baby, you will never guess what" "Jarett, help." "What?" "Ronni?" "Hello, hello?" "Can you see me?" "Jarett, help." "[beeping]" "Yeah, you're breaking up." "I can't really see you." "What's going on?" "Are you all right?" "Ronni?" "Ronni, I'm on my way." "I'm on my way home right now, okay?" "Hang tight." "Ronni?" "Shit." "[whirring]" "Jarett!" "Ronni?" "Ronni?" "Ronni?" "Hey, Ronni?" "Ronni?" "Ronni, are you in there?" "Ronni?" "No, no, no, Ronni." "Ronni!" "Ronni!" "No!" "Please, Ronni." "Ronni." "Ronni." "Ronni." "(Jarett) They're calling it a suicide because she had a history, but I told them what I thought I saw on the phone" " An Eyeborg-- When she called me." "And what did the police say when you said that?" "There was no record that she called." "(Gunner) Did you speak to your uncle?" "No, I tried." "I can't get ahold of him." "He's coming here tomorrow." "I need you to make that meeting." "No, no. I can't. I can't." "I can't do that." "Jarett, I know this is really hard on you, but think about what happened to Ronni, what almost happened to you." "Your uncle could be in extreme danger." "Well, that's not my problem." "That's not." "No." "That's not my fucking problem." "You have no idea what you're asking me to do here, okay?" "I never, I never talk to my family." "I mean, I am so far over on the other fucking side of this-- [cell phone rings]" "And there's no way-- l'm not." "No. I'm" "(female voice) Jarett Hewes?" "Yeah?" "Please hold for the president." "[beep] lt's him." "[President Hewes] Jerry?" "Uncle Benjamin." "I heard about what happened, and I am so sorry." "is there anything I can do to help?" "No, thank you." "Um, it's just... l--l need to tell you something." "I need to talk to you about the Eyeborgs." "Wait just a minute." "Will you excuse us, please?" "Now, Jarett, listen very carefully to me." "This is not a secure line, and I'm not in a position to talk right now." "But it is very important that you not mention this to anyone else." "Just promise me you'll be there tomorrow night, and we can sort this out face to face." "I really don't know if I can be there." "Jarett, please." "At least let me see you after what's happened." "Okay." "Okay, I'll be there." "I'll see you tomorrow, then." "Okay, bye." "He sounded concerned." "It doesn't seem like you're on the other side, does it?" "Okay." "Okay." "I will play that fundraiser." "It's what Ronni wanted me to do." "But if I'm going to walk in there and try to convince the president that security cameras are killing people, I need some real proof." "I'll get you the proof." "You just be there." "Okay." "Let's go." "(male anchor) Live from 44 HD election central, this is campaign coverage of Decision America, with Jack Romero, Jill Coppola," "Barbara Hawkins, Jamie Kell, and the Eyewitness News Team." "Good afternoon to you." "I'm Jack Romero." "And I'm Jill Coppola." "Coming to you live from our state-of-the-art election central newsroom." "Today, Eyewitness News' continuing coverage of Decision America, and the final presidential debate of this election." "We begin our coverage with Barbara Hawkins at the debate site." "Barbara?" "Thank you, Jill." "The day of the debate has finally arrived in Winston-Salem at the beautiful Millennium Center." "The president's limo arrived moments ago, and we've been informed that he was escorted inside, where a crowd of invited supporters awaits him behind closed doors." "(Jim) Oh." "This is a great idea you had, checking out what's his face's shop." "G-Man." "I know what happened here." "I saw the movie." "Well, now you can read the book." "Ha ha ha." "That's funny." "Take a look at that." "What do you suppose made this?" "Look, I know what I saw in the video." "Well, let's take a look inside." "(Barbara, on TV) Although only supporters are allowed near the president for security reasons, there are, in fact, many protesters demonstrating against his policies here today." "For safety, such dissenters are kept far away from the president in tightly regulated first amendment zones." "(Jill, on TV) Thank you, Barbara." "(Gunner) You ever think about how easy the Eyeborgs make it to get convictions?" "If you mean having video of a crime as compelling evidence, then yeah." "It's hard to argue with video." "Exactly." "No cross examination." "Was there anything on the computers?" "Nothing." "Our guys went over it from the last bit and pixel." "Someone that doesn't trust machines wouldn't put anything in there." "He'd be doing things the old-fashioned way." "(Senator) You heard it here" "The president says he understands and agrees that we are way in over our heads financially, yet he continues to perpetuate the problem by continuing to put more money into a system which is controlling us, and my goal is to cut that out." "(Jim) What are you doing?" "It's hollow." "What?" "(Rutledge, on TV) There is one word that the senator likes to use a lot with reference to odin, and that's control." "There's a very big difference between observation and control." "Here." "That's it." "Come here." "(President, over speakers) ...the ODlN system." "And from conception into development, into manufacturing, into implementation, many, many jobs have been created." "Good afternoon, Mr. Hewes." "Take that, please?" "I think to the tune of over six million jobs have been created, and ladies and gentlemen, every one of those jobs is within the United States." "We have greatly increased the gross national product, and increased the tax base and the revenues of the federal government." "It pays for itself, ladies and gentlemen." "[crowd claps and cheers]" "DHS to Secret Service, Headliner has entered the building." "What's this?" "Look at these designs." "Weapons on the Eyeborgs?" "They must be fake." "(president) She's not lax at all, and we both know that." "We just disagree." "We simply disagree." "Hello?" "We all know how I feel about it, and I'm hoping one day, she'll reveal how she feels about it, and what she wants to do instead." "[crowd claps and cheers] I want to make one thing perfectly clear, and that is I agree with the president." "I believe that we should be protected." "I believe that we do need security." "However, there is a very thin line between being protected and an invasion of privacy." "[crowd cheers, boos]" "God." "What's this?" "Looks like C-4." "It's more like a C-4 variant." "It's odorless and malleable." "This could get past the scanners without a problem." "There's no scent." "The sniffers would miss it." "G-Man had to get it near the president." "How?" "We are not watching the American people." "These are cameras and mobile units." "They are not human." "They are observing and recording behavior." "There are many levels, and the first level is behavior number one." "Number one is simply normal human behavior." "There's no threat." "There's no red flag." "When a mobile unit or a camera sees behavior that indicates possible criminal activity is in the works, it goes to level two." "Still, no human eye is on the human being." "I can't get a signal down here." "Come on, we've got to warn them." "Let's go." "Jim, be careful." "What?" "Maybe they can help us get a signal." "Guys, we need for you to get us" "Jim." "No." "Jim?" "[helicopter whirring]" "Damn." "Come on, Ed." "Gunner, what the hell happened to you?" "Jim Bradley's dead." "How?" "The Eyeborgs have been compromised." "How can the Eyeborgs be compromised?" "And that's not our only problem." "Jarett Hewes, the president's nephew, has a bomb hidden in his guitar." "The kid's already in the building." "We'll secure the perimeter." "You take a team in and get the president out of there." "Yes, sir." "Sanchez, get your team together." "Let's not hurt the kid." "He doesn't know he's been set up." "What's going on?" "What happened?" "Terrorists have control of the Eyeborgs, and Jarett's guitar is rigged to assassinate the president." "That's not funny." "No, you're right." "It's not." "(Sanchez) Round them up." "Move them out." "What's the situation?" "The debates are still going on but we can't contact anyone on the radio." "Our first priority is to get the president out." "Understood." "Let's go, commander." "Yup." "Sanchez?" "(female agent) DHS, Secret Service." "Stand down." "Where are the president's guards?" "I don't know." "They should be here." "We're taking the president off-stage, then we get him out of the building." "Gunner, wait." "Let's get a twenty on that kid first." "Coyle, take a team." "I want you to sweep the building." "Sanchez, I want you to do a perimeter with a team, and I want the bomb squad" "Gunner, Gunner." "[applause and cheering]" "[president's voice continues speaking] lt's not real." "Oh, Lord." "He's not real." "What's going on?" "Where's the president?" "There is no president." "What?" "There is no president." "I don't understand." "Did terrorists" "There are no terrorists." "No terrorists, no election, no president, no more democracy." "ODlN has been using us." "That's why we invade one country after another" "So it can breed." "You're recording this, right?" "Just keep recording and sending it to the station." "(executive) Where's Barbara's feed?" "(male voice) lt must be some kind of a problem with the robot camera we gave her." "Have you called her?" "There was no answer, but there's nothing for her to do until the debate's over." "I suppose." "Well, no more." "Not on my watch." "I want that boy out of here." "Ed, can you hear me?" "Right here, right here." "What do we do now?" "High, low." "On two." "One, two." "Ladies and gentlemen, this is unbelievable." "There is no president, no room of invited supporters." "We've got to get Jarett and that bomb out of this building." "ODlN will go to any extreme, even kill our own American heroes, to keep it secret." "Cover." "No one knows how long this" "Barbara." "[screams in pain]" "What are you doing here?" "You all right?" "I can't move my legs." "We'll get you out of here." "No, no, have you found Jarett yet?" "He's somewhere in the building." "I don't know where." "The basement." "They've got him in the old jail." "How do you know?" "I've done a million stories on this place." "It used to be the old federal building." "We've got to get past them." "No, there's another way." "See that slot up there?" "It's part of the old surveillance tunnels." "They connect every room in the building." "Oh." "There's a door behind that curtain." "You just get in there." "You can get to the basement and get Jarett out." "Sanchez, send a bravo team." "Go with Gunner." "Go." "Leave me the nine mil, another clip, and I'll be fine." "Don't do anything stupid." "We'll get you on the way out." "(male agent) Go, go, go, go, go." "Where is Barbara?" "We have gunshot fire from within the Millennium Center." "(Gunner) Communications have been compromised." "Let's go quietly." "[groans]" "Oh!" "[robot growls]" "[gunfire]" "(male agent) Team, go!" "I'm here." "Help, help." "(Jarett) Help." "[shout]" "(Gunner) You all right?" "Oh, my God, what's happening?" "Where's Uncle Benjamin?" "He's dead." "Probably has been for years." "But he's the president." "Not anymore." "What is this?" "I don't know." "Some kind of 3-D scanner or something." "[painfully] Oh, God." "[inaudible]" "(Jarett) Ahh." "Ahh." "Let's be very careful with this." "Thank you." "Don't thank me." "There's a bomb in it." "[zap] [shout]" "Go." "Fall back." "What's happening out there?" "(female reporter) As far as we know, the president is safe." "But we can neither confirm nor deny at this time." "(male agent) What the hell are those?" "An Eyeborg no human ever designed." "Coyle, what'd they do to you, man?" "Jesus." "[inaudible]" "Come on." "Gunner." "Gunner, take the guitar." "Get him out." "I got you covered." "No, Sanchez." "Come back, San" "Barbara." "[whirring] [shout] [groan]" "[grunts, groans]" "[whirring down]" "Jarett!" "[groan]" "Jarett, son, come here, son." "Come here." "Look at me, look at me." "I need you on your feet." "All right?"

"These are the computer chips from my camera." "They'll have everything that happened today." "They'll be the last recorded video." "It's the only proof you'll have of what happened." "Barbara." "[approaching sirens] I'm taking you out." "Promise me you'll take these out." "Promise me, Gunner!" "Promise me!" "Yes." "I promise." "All right, look, you promise me something" "Whatever comes through that door, do not move." "They are programmed to attack." "Do not move." "And I will be back for you." "I know. I know." "I know." "Come on, son." "I'm getting you out of here." "Come on, look at me." "Look at me." "You can do this." "Put your arm around me." "[loud groan]" "Again, I'm not sure if gunshots have been fired, or if it's something that sounds like gunshots." "Standing by." "[loud growl and roar]" "[gasp]" "Do you know what I've got here?"
