"Subtitles by demonseye" "We're running out of time." "We have polluted and peopled this planet to the brink of extinction." "We are destroying our world at a suicidal pace." "We need a pollution revolution." "And it's not going to be easy because the world is addicted to petroleum." "We have limited resources and we go to war to protect them." "We need a new technology and this technology can't be sold." "It must be given away..." "to everyone." "We are in sight of a dream." "There is a solution." "The answer..." "is all around us... right here." "Water." "H2O." "Two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen." "There is enough energy in this glass of water to power the city of Chicago for weeks." "It's the... hydrogen we're after." "This is what happens when we burn it." "It's perfectly clean." "And you can burn it when you want to, in a car, in a turbine, or in your own basement power supply, right next to your water heater." "But what if we could release this energy efficiently?" "We will transform the world." "Maybe we start to put an end to war." "Of course, we... have to make it work first." "Morning!" "Hey, James, how you doin'?" "Hey, Eddie, cold enough for ya?" "It's never too cold." "Hey, Lu!" "You want me to set up?" "Yeah." "Right away, uh?" " Hello, Mr. Shannon." " Hi." "Mr. Shannon, the big man, how are you?" "Tessidy..." "Alistair." " You have a good trip?" " Very good, thank you." " Paul." " Hi, young fellow." "Can I get you some, uh, coffee or something?" "No, no, I'm fine, thank you." "I turn on the laser here." "Now, we should focus the laser in the center of the bubble." " So, how's it going?" "Tell me." " You didn't get my fax?" "No, I got the fax." "I just didn't understand all the figures." "We need to control the bubble." "Yeah, the reaction regulators isn't working." " I do believe this." "But..." " I know." "Eddie, did you computer-model your work last night?" "No, I didn't." "I was, uh, too busy building it." "We sustained fusion for 4.6 milliseconds." "Stable?" "It's stable..." "for 4.6 milliseconds." "But, let me show you." "Come." "Come." "The power input and the power output is fine at this stage." "Now, the power output drops to nothing at stage three, so what happened?" " Paul!" " Yeah, okay." "All right, I gotta go." "Cross your fingers, everyone." "Good luck." "Mr. Chen, initiate laser." "Initiate laser." "Hydrogen separation in progress." "Initiate hydrogen burn." "Two million Kelvin and rising." "Shut it down!" "It's unstable." "Shut it down." "We learned something very important today." "We found another way that didn't work." "We need to keep our minds open and try again." "Alistair." " It's working." " Is it stable?" "Yeah, it's stable." " Completely stable." " My God!" " We go tomorrow." " Tomorrow, Alistair." "Lily, talk to me." "Temperature, gas flow, acoustic drive steadied." " The regulator has stabilized the reaction." " Lucasz." "My spectrometer shows stable hydrogen production." "We're getting more out than we put in." "Well, I think you'd better..." "sell your utility stocks." " Whoa, Mr. Chidi!" " Unbelievable!" "You're going to be famous." "Thanks for everything." "The share." "We want more money now!" "Thanks for your trust." " Stay on beat, for Christ's sake." " I got it, I got it!" "Here comes crazy Eddie!" "Eddie, congratulations." "I really am quite impressed." " Congratulations." " Thank you." "I never agreed to keep anything from anyone." "You know how I feel about it." "That used to be cool." "Mandela will get this information, China will find out..." "You can go wherever you like, but don't move an inch." "I can't begin to tell you what could happen if we..." "This is no time to be talking seriously." "No, no, no, everybody's waiting." "Come on, Alistair!" "Okay, everybody." " Holy shit, we did it!" " Holy shit, we did it!" "Your battery's dead." "There's ice all over the dashboard." "All over the dashboard..." " Come on." " How do I get home?" "I'll get you home." "We'll take my bike." "Oh, yes, please!" " Where do you live?" " I live in England." "No, sorry." "Sorry, sorry." "I live on-on Kimbark and 54th." " Kimbark and 54th?" " Mm-hm." "Oh, no, we can't." "You'll freeze to death." "Um..." "Let's take a taxi." " Taxi, huh?" " Uh-huh." "We got a better chance of getting picked up by a UFO." "Mr. Chen, upload everything." "I want to get it all on the Internet tonight." "We're gonna be waking up a lot of people." "You're damn right." "Really wake 'em up." "Barkley..." "We don't have the computer model real ready." "We have the frequency." "We'll send it to you in... one hour." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." "In one hour." "Where you going?" "Chen?" " Here we are." " This is Alistair's house." "Isn't he sweet?" "He lets me live on the third floor." "Mm." "It's this... way." "Is... is this what drunk is?" " You've never been drunk?" " Ooh." "I've never been this." "Lily's too serious." "She's no fun." "I think you're fun." "Good night, Lily." "Wow!" "Alistair!" "Alistair!" "Chen!" "Chen!" "Chen!" "Get ready." "Shannon." " Paul?" "Alistair's dead." " Eddie?" "I found him on the lab floor." " He was murdered." " What?" "Just what happened here and what caused the explosion last night is still unclear." "University officials say that this mill site had been converted into a site for the experimental production of hydrogen fuel." "Now, University officials say that's not supposed to be dangerous." "One of the questions, of course, that law enforcement officials are trying to determine is whether foul play was involved." "As we indicate, that's unconfirmed." "But we can confirm this." "An FBI agent has said, and it was reported by a spokesperson for the Bureau, that there was no nuclear device that went off last night." "There was no atomic explosion." "As far as you know, all your people accounted for, Mr. Shannon?" "Miss Sinclair?" "Is this all the group?" "Alistair didn't come home last night." "Lu Chen isn't anywhere to be found." "I phoned him and he's not anywhere." "I started CPR." "Um..." "I checked for breath, there was no breath." "I checked for pulse, there was no pulse." "I... continued with the CPR." "Have the locals move the perimeter back about 1,000 ft." "You got it." "Find me a friendly federal judge in the next two minutes." "I want wiretap orders, search warrants on everyone that worked here." " I want it ten minutes ago." " All right." "Inspector Ford, we understand you've taken charge of this investigation." "Can you tell us why is the FBI involved?" "Ma'am, we just had eight city blocks disappeared." "The President of the United States talked to my boss at this morning." "He wants answers." "Tell me about Eddie." "What do you know?" "Does he drink, do drugs?" "No." "He's just a machinist, an undergraduate..." "working to get his degree." "That's the undisclosed cost of our cheap fossil fuel." "Fossil fuel." "Who'd be interested in this technology?" "Cheap, clean, abundant energy?" "Who wouldn't?" "When you left the celebration, who was still there?" "Eddie." "So, Eddie, tell us again why you came back?" "I'd come back for my bike." "You say you'd just returned from taking Miss Sinclair home." "That's right." "Her car wouldn't start, so I took her home on the bus." "Oh, what is your relationship with Miss Sinclair?" "Uh..." "We work together." "I'm a machinist, she's a physicist." "I was... hired by dr." "Chen." "And who is dr." "Chen?" "He was dr." "Barkley's..." "project manager." " Why did he hire you?" " Because I'm a physicist." "Gentlemen, what have we got here?" "Sergeant?" "I think we have Mr. Chen in the wind." "Nick, what did you find?" "Yeah, it looks like he did his packing with a shovel." "This guy was in a hurry." "Dr. Barkley expressed interest in a specialist in sonoluminescence." "He knew about dr." "Chen." "So, with the help of some friends in the State Department," "I managed to get him over here and onto the team." "Oh, you have friends in the State Department?" "We have influential members of the board." "Really?" "Who's on the board of your foundation?" "Ford." "Various scientists..." "Yeah." "...and industrialists." "Your dr." "Chen is missing." "Any idea where he might be?" "He may be dead." "We have no comment." "You're Eddie." "Eddie Kasalivich!" "Reporters are saying that..." "they killed him." "Who killed him?" "Who killed the man, Eddie?" "You were there before the explosion." "What happened?" "What are you looking for?" "We're just examining the articles on his desk." "I don't see how you're entitled to do that." "Annette!" "They have a search warrant, but they have no respect for a man's life." "I want a full inventory." "These are very important and extremely sensitive scientific papers." "We'll give you a copy of everything we have, sir." "Signed, if you please!" "For two decades, doctor Barkley, an extensive Renaissance genius..." "I have to go over to the university's legal counsel." "I can't stay here tonight." "Among the missing is dr." "Lu Chen, who the authorities are still looking for, and may be considered a suspect in the incident." " This is insane." " They're going to think he did it." "Oh, no." " What is it?" " It's from... dr." "Lu Chen." "He... wants me to bring the rest of the information, all... all the data and-and meet him at the rendezvous in Shanghai." "I'm being framed." "What are you talking about?" " This isn't from Chen." " How do you know?" " He-he doesn't write like this." " Well, then who sent it?" "I don't know who sent it." "Where's Chen?" "You don't think he did it?" "Let's, uh..." "Let's get outta here, okay?" "Can I help you?" "Oh, I sure hope so." "We're here and we're looking for Mr. Paul Shannon." "Oh, uh, he's-he's on the phone right now." " Excuse me..." " Excuse me, you can't go in there!" "You can't go in there!" "There's an awful lot of explaining to do." "I'll call you back." "What now, agent Ford?" "Just received Eddie Kasalivich's file." "Seems he had to leave college for disciplinary reasons." "He blew the hell out of the lab." "I mean, this is a coincidence, Lord Almighty!" "You knew this kid was kicked out of school?" "He resigned." "Under some pressure, wouldn't you say?" "There was some pressure, yes." " Kid blows up a science building..." " Minor structural damage, agent Ford." "Interesting experiment." "Might have worked." "Didn't you think this, uh, piece of information" " was important for us to have?" " I don't see the relevance." "You don't see some small connection here?" "No, agent Ford, I don't." "How's this?" "The CIA tells me that Chen might be involved in espionage." "This Kasalivich guy has a past that makes me nervous." "And Miss Sinclair is receiving faxes inviting her to a rendezvous in mainland China." " Really?" " Really." "What's wrong?" "That's my place." "Let's get outta here." " A real shithole, uh?" " How much did they say this guy make?" "Not much, he's a student machinist." " Hey, Sheen, what are you doin' outside?" " Stay warm, buddy!" "Got a loft for your mother, Doyle." "Very artistic." " Who's upstairs?" " Everybody." "Half the city." " Wanna check that cabinet?" " Yeah, I got it." "Jesus Christ, you could put together almost anything in this place." "I want all this." "All right!" "We need a total lab workup." "It's a..." "neutron cappuccino machine." "Oh, don't touch it." " Hey, Nick!" "What's this?" " It's a transmitter." " It's a burst transmitter." " What's it do?" "It sends massive amounts of information by satellite... probably to China." "Ah!" "Nick!" "Doyle!" "Calls flooded into the University Of Chicago from all over the world, asking for word about the professor." "Expressions of concern came from the Royal Academy in London, from Paris, Moscow and all parts of the compass." "But at the same time, critics say that Barkley was a Utopian dreamer." "They point out that the research he was involved with was obviously far more dangerous than he realized." "Paul." "Shannon!" "What's going on?" " Tell me about the money, Eddie." " What money?" "The 250,000 the FBI found in your loft." "I don't know what you're talking about." " What about the burst transmitter?" " Transmitter?" "!" "Think hard." "Jesus..." "I suppose you're not in secret communication" " with dr." "Chen in mainland China?" " It wasn't Chen." " Do you have an attorney?" " No." "I've got a good one." "He'll negotiate your surrender to the authorities." "Come upstairs with me." "We'll call him." " Surrender?" " They'll wanna talk to you." " I'm not going." " What do you mean you're no going?" " We didn't do anything, Mr. Shannon." " The FBI will figure that out." "Someone's settin' us up." "I'm not going to the cops until I know more about what's goin' on." "Eddie, you run, and you'll have every gun-carrying idiot in the country looking for you." "Look, talk to this..." "lawyer." "We'll go somewhere safe" " and we'll wait till you work it out." " Where?" "Maggie's." "We'll go to Maggie's." "Okay." "You got any money?" " 40 bucks." " All right." "Here." "And when you get there, stay put." "Don't use the phone." "I'll call you." "Why is this happening, Paul?" "It's gonna be all right, Eddie." "I promise you." "Wait here five minutes, then leave." "What do we know about this Shannon?" "Illinois Institute of Technology, Georgetown Law," "Kennedy School of Government, uh..." "Worked for several aerospace giants." "Three years in Washington during the Reagan administration..." " Oh, yeah?" "Doing what?" " DARPA." "Defense Advanced Research Project Administration." "Jesus!" "Who the hell is this guy?" "Not just someone that runs a foundation, huh?" "There's a train at 8:40 at the Union Station to Williams Bay." " That's where Maggie lives." " Are you sure you can trust her?" "We used to live and work together." "This is the Channel 32 special report." "We go live to the Federal Office Building in downtown Chicago." "Sorry to keep you all waiting." "As you know, it's been a... a very long and a... a very trying day for us all." "Material witness warrants have been issued in the northern district of Illinois for professor Lu Chen," "dr." "Lily Sinclair, and Edward Kasalivich." "Oh, my God!" "Anybody with knowledge of their whereabouts is asked to please contact the Chicago office of the FBI immediately." "Eddie, what are we going to do?" "We can't leave here together." "Get a cab outside." "Buy two tickets." "Williams Bay." "I'll meet you on the track." " Be safe." " You too." "There are allegations his body was found..." "Hey, Mike, did you see that guy?" "Union Station, please." "Hey!" "Hey, you!" "Come here." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Officer!" "Hey, buddy!" "Hey, you!" "I got 'im!" "I got 'im!" "It doesn't make any sense." "If Kasalivich is just a simple pawn, what's he doin' with a burst transmitter in his den?" "What?" "I mean, the guy is transmitting to someone." "Right?" " Unbelievable." " What?" "CPD's chasing Kasalivich down Michigan Avenue." "Stay where you are!" "He's gonna fall!" "Get me a boat under there!" "What the hell's he doin'?" "He's goin' over!" "Hey!" "We got guys downstairs?" " What did I tell you?" "Just went over." " Stairs, over here." "Let's get on board." "Listen." "How do we get him down?" "Officer, if I move that bridge, he's gonna fall." " Can he get out from a lower level?" " Leads down to the gear room." " Bring the bridge down." " He'll be delayed." "He'll get crushed." "Ten-four." "Bring it down slow." " We're bringing the bridge down." "Now!" " Get over there!" "Hey!" "What's happening?" "Why did it stop?" "Right." "I want this cleared." "All right, let's go!" "Do a search!" "You two, outta here!" "Let's go!" "Move it, move it!" "Go!" "Go!" "Right now!" "Go!" "You!" "Back this thing outta here." "Come on!" "Go!" "So, where the hell is he, Leon?" "Amtrak northbound no. 343, now leaving on track 19 for Fox Lake, Wallburgh, Williams Bay," "Jamesfield and Madison." "My God!" "I didn't think I was gonna make it." " Watch your step." " Thank you." "Don't worry, he'll be here." "You were right." " What took you so long?" " The bridge was up." "All aboard!" " Here you go." " Thanks." "Thank you." "Are you sure she's going to be up this late?" "Yeah, she's, uh, usually up all night." " She's kinda wild." " Oh." " I worked up here one summer." " Oh!" "Maggie." "Maggie!" "Oh, my." "Tell me you didn't do it, Eddie!" "I didn't do it." "Oh, it's good to see you, man." "You must be the other terrorist." " I guess I am." " Maggie, this is Lily." "Hi, Lily." " Have a nice trip, Mr. Shannon." " Thank you, Bobby." "So, Leon, how did you get me into this hearing?" "I don't have this kind of clearance." "I know a guy that knows a guy." " Who?" " It's a guy." "Who-who's the guy?" "Doyle, it's national security." "I can't tell you." "Security concerns must be given greater importance in our industrial research." "We don't know the cause of the explosion." "It's true." "And we don't know the source of the espionage, if indeed there was espionage." "But we do know that we are at risk." "Every idea that offers a competitive advantage to Americans is subject to theft." "And that, gentlemen, could be catastrophic." "Mr. Shannon, over the past ten years, this committee has approved hundreds of millions of dollars for your... research projects without having one good, goddamn idea about where the hell all the money was going." "He's talking about our tax dollars up there." "We were under the impression, Senator, that you passed legislation specifically to ensure that you wouldn't know." "Or perhaps, more accurately, that you didn't want to know." "I'm aware of the law, Mr. Shannon, thank you." "I wrote it." "But I don't remember, when I was drafting it, that I anticipated a large portion of the south side of Chicago blown up." "What assurances can you give me and this committee that this event will never happen again?" "None, Senator." "The incident in Chicago was tragic, to be sure." "But sometimes that is the price we must pay to ensure our competitive edge in the future." "We didn't intend to pay for our space exploration program with the lives of ten American astronauts." "But we did." "Nevertheless, we must not waver in our commitment to technological and scientific research and development." "As you gentlemen know, there are many threats to our way of life." "And not all of them wear uniforms and carry guns." "Mr. Shannon, I wanna thank you for your appearance today before this committee." "Your words were spoken like a true patriot, of whom this country can be very, very proud." "Thank you, sir." " I think I'm getting through." " What about Lucasz?" "He never got over not getting his credentials." "No one on the team could have done something like this." "Whoever is doing this knows an awful lot about us." "If I hadn't shown up, they would have thought it was an accident." "If you hadn't shown up, nobody would know what's really going on." "Oh, my God!" "Hey." "Welcome back, boss." "We missed you." "Yeah, what about me?" "Surveillance is up on Shannon's estate." "Cue it up, Jimmy." "Where are the files on the Moore Foundation?" "Gentlemen," "Shannon's on the move." "Halt this for now." "There will be an orientation meeting in the main auditorium, on level one..." " Is everyone here?" " Yes." " Is it running?" " Not yet." "Good afternoon, gentlemen." "FBI." "I'm agent Williams, this is agent Lim." "So, what kind of facility is this?" "I'm sorry, sir, we're not allowed to discuss this matter with you." "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen." "If you'll bear with me for just a few more moments, we'll get things started." "Thank you." "I don't care if he's got an appointment with Mother Teresa." "We have been waiting for him for the last 35 minutes." "You're late." "This is another one of your messes, Lyman." "It's not the Peace Corps, Paul." "Anyway, you said you had it under control." "I did!" "You know, this thing's still not working." "You've got to call off the Bureau." "Do you understand?" "I'm not sure I can do that." "There's an awful lot of explaining to do." "Where's the young man?" "Kasalivich?" "He's someplace safe." "I'm bringing him in today." "Paul!" "If someone's going down for this, it is not gonna be I." "Paul Shannon, please." "Maggie McDermott." "We're old friends." "Washington." "Area code's Wisconsin." "Checking the prefix." "Punch it up." "It's Maggie McDermott." "She's been put through from the Chicago office." "Maggie?" "Shannon, it's Eddie." "It's scrambled." "It's him." "He's on a pay phone in Williams Bay." "Call our contact there." "I'll get the locals." "What are you doing?" "It's okay, I'm on a pay phone." "Listen." "The phony fax to Lily..." "It's-it's okay, I know about that." "Listen." "Go back to Maggie's and wait there." "I'll send someone for you." "Lily tracked it to Beijing." "It routed through a Chinese manufacturing company, but it originated from an office, something called the American Technological Business Council." "Gotta go." " Ever heard of it?" " Listen." "They'll be there within an hour." "Now, Eddie!" " Look, I gotta go." "We'll come to you." " No, don't come here, Eddie." "Eddie." "Eddie!" " Thanks." " Good luck." "Officer." "Hey, hey!" "Andy!" "Andy, you know that guy on the news?" "I saw him run up the road there." " Really, Maggie?" " That's the pawn." "You should have brought him in when you had the chance." "Get a new interview observatory, right away!" "Lily!" "Lily!" " Eddie, it's unbelievable." " We gotta go." "Listen, listen, listen, listen." "This council." "They-they lobby for defense contractors..." "Come on." "We gotta go now." "The cops are here." " What?" "!" " Come on!" "How did they find us?" "Hey!" "Hold it right there." "Hey!" "Hold it!" "Hey!" "Stop!" "Hold it!" "Stop!" "Hold it right there." "Get your hands up." "Get 'em up!" "Walk back slowly towards me." "Come on, do it!" "Keep comin'." "Good, hold it right there." "This is Nemitz, on the roof of the observatory." "I've got 'em." "Go!" "Go, go, go, go, go!" "Come on!" "Hold your heads down!" "On the roof!" "Get a medical team up here." "Right away." "Suspect is armed!" "Get in the boat!" " Eddie, what are you doing?" " Get in!" " Eddie, what are you doing?" " The best I can." "Get the boat!" " Are you okay?" " Yes!" "He's out of our sight." "12 o'clock." "Lily, the bag!" "Gimme the bag." "Go, go!" "There's nobody in there!" "We need a pollution revolution." "Aw, forget it." "I don't care." "Search all of Wisconsin if you have to." "What, they lost 'im?" "We've been to C-Systems place this mornin'." "We can't get any information." "It used to be a government-run facility." "And now according to county records, it doesn't even exist." "Or maybe you weren't really there." "Maybe we're not really here, in the end." "Eddie, I can't..." "feel my legs." "Come on." "We got fire, we got fire." "Why would a policeman shoot another policeman?" "Maybe they weren't police." "Why didn't they... shoot at us?" "I don't know." "What a dump, huh?" " Mr. Shannon." " What?" "There's two gentlemen from the FBI who'd see you." "Well, this is more important than his afternoon tea." "My apologies for interrupting your, uh, tea, Mr. Shannon." "But what's Kasalivich doing in Wisconsin?" "Running away from you, I'd imagine." "We understand he phoned you a couple of hours ago." "I counselled Eddie to turn himself in to the proper authorities." "Yeah, well, he and Miss Sinclair shot a Wisconsin state trooper." "I doubt that very seriously." "Well..." "The state trooper's very dead." "Mr. Shannon, these are, uh, copies of the Moore Foundation IRS files." "Do you know what's in them?" "Meagre tax records, I imagine." "We are a non-profit organization." "The funding for your foundation comes from a wide variety of sources." "Defense contractors, telecommunication companies, aerospace..." "Well, it's gratifying to know that our work's appreciated." "But the bulk of your contribution seems to come from one account in Cayman Islands." "I don't do the fundraising." "Oh, yeah." "And the account... is classified." " Who pays your salary, Mr. Shannon?" " The foundation pays my salary." "Classified accounts, encrypted phone communications..." "You know, a man could be forgiven for concluding that your... foundation is largely a front for a front to the CIA." "Well, if that's the case, there may be national security issues here that are larger than all of us." "Interfering with an FBI investigation is a federal crime." " I know the law, Mr..." " Doyle." "National security does not include murdering people." "Domestically, at least." "Tell your friends at Langley that domestic is our back yard." "They're not allowed to play here." "You can keep the returns." "Nice house." "And for dinner tonight, we have a choice of sardines... or sardines." "Gosh, I think I'll have... sardines." "Sardines." "Beautiful choice." "So, is this how you seduce all the girls?" "Only physicists with hypothermia who are accused of being a terrorist." "Thank you." "There's a garage outside." "I'm gonna see what's in there." "I won't be long." "Okay?" "Your pitbull has killed a Wisconsin state trooper." "Well, now." "Would you rather the Bureau got the girl and the Kasalivich boy?" "First, he was a suspect." "Worst-case scenario..." "they arrest him." "Now, he's a cop killer." "Worst case scenario, they kill him." "For God's sake, Lyman, whatever possessed you" " to frame him in the first place?" " Two words." "Convenience and expedience." "He saw too much, he was talking." "The poor boy was in the wrong place at the wrong time." "I need this poor boy!" "This poor boy is the only one who knows the frequencies!" "Do you understand the concept, Lyman?" "Poor impulse control?" "Barkley, Chen, the regulator." "That was supposed to be it!" "That was all of it!" "I am sick to death of cleaning up your messes." "No, Paul, no." "Yours." "Not mine." "You lost it, Paul." "Lost control... perspective..." "You made it personal with these people." "Well, we'll find 'em." "We'll find 'em, and when we do and we've got this thing working, well, then, my friend, then," "this young man will be a liability." "Well, that'll be my problem." " Our problem." " No, Lyman." "When the time comes..." "I'll handle it." "You better." "So, what does he want us to do?" "We find him and give him an injection." "Lily." "Lily!" "Come on." "Leesburg, Virginia." "C-Systems." " Who are they?" " Not cops." "Cops carry badges, credit cards, pictures of their families." " If it's crowded... don't go in." " Okay." " Hi!" " Hello." "Can I help you?" "Uh, yes, please." "I'd like to send some-some flowers and a note to a friend of mine in Virginia." "It's a little strange, Mr. Shannon, but these just arrived." "I'm not quite sure where they're from." "Here's a note." "May I see that?" "Thank you." "Hold it right there, buddy." "FBI." "Step outside the van, please." "Why don't you bring your invoice sheet out with you?" "Do you know if the order originated at this shop?" "I-I don't think so." "I think, uh, it was a wire from Georgetown." " Mind if I take one of these?" " No, sure." "Have a nice day." "So, uh, officially this investigation is now code-named Steel Bomb." "We'll use that name and input the data into Rapid Start." "Look what I brought back from the flower shop." "I think this is Kasalivich." "Spawn versus Neanderthal man, 4 p.m. Today." "What is this, a wrestling match?" "Bad movie, video game?" "Spawn is a comic-book character, boss." "It's the sick guy who comes back from the dead, right?" "Yeah, like Kasalivich." "So, maybe, uh, Shannon is the Neanderthal man?" "Very well may be." "Hello, Eddie." " Glad you got the flowers." " Very clever." " You all right?" " No, not really." "I guess I can understand that." "We were at Maggie's." "Caught." "About to be arrested, Paul." "Somebody shot the cop." "Later, two guys tried to kill us." "I've got my car outside." "Follow me." "We'll go some place where we can talk." "I found this..." "in one of the guy's wallets." "They weren't cops." "What do you know about C-Systems, Paul?" "This is not the time or the place, Eddie." "We're being watched." "Eddie, the world isn't quite as simple as we'd like it to be." "Just doesn't work that way." " Shannon, who are you?" " I'm your friend, Eddie." "I may be your only friend." "Is it you, Paul?" "Are you responsible for all this?" "Time to go, Eddie." "You've got a job to complete." "The experiment needs verifying." "Do your work." "This will all be over." "Eddie, we're beyond that now." "Let's just get this done." "Come back to work with me." "You'll have your life back, I promise you." "You don't control our lives." " You'll have to trust me, Eddie." " Just like Alistair?" "Eddie!" "Eddie!" "A trip that normally takes five and a half hours." "But today, you'll experience everything that happened during that flight in just seven minutes." "From takeoff to landing." "Your pilot for today's flight is captain Dave Larsen." "Stay here." "Our co-pilot is first officer..." "Get in." "She's in the hatch." "Look out!" "The crew are going through their final pre-flight checks." "They're ready to taxi to the runway." "Eddie!" "Eddie!" "Come on, man, don't do anything foolish." "Get Ford." "DC police just reported a disturbance at the Science Museum in front of the Neanderthal man exhibit." "CQ 493..." "CQ 493." "Here you are, darling, here you are." "Drink this." "You're dehydrated." "Wash it out of your system." "Mr. Collier and I have a few colleagues we'd like you to meet." "Dr. Holloway, dr." "Hamada, and dr." "Orbit." "They are very interested to discuss your work with you." "Oh, and, of course, dr." "Lu Chen." "Lu." "Lily." "We would very much like for you and dr." "Chen to continue the work you've been doing with dr." "Barkley." " You can't be serious!" " Oh, yes." "We've been impressed with your work for a long time." "Do you drug and kidnap everyone whose work you admire?" "No." "The dr." "Barkley we left behind." "Slay the dreamer, eh, Mr. Shannon?" "Spare some change?" "A quarter, a quarter, what's a quarter?" "I mean, two bits, two bits." "You can't even see me?" "Can I share your grate?" "CQ 493." "This is Eddie." "Uh, I think he does." "But he really does." "What're you watchin'?" ""Honeymooner" reruns?" "Well, Kasalivich and, uh, Barkley." "Look at this." "Does it look like the kid is about to kill this guy and blow the place up in a couple of hours?" "The whole thing stinks." "Thanks." "We got the ballistics report back on that trooper the guy killed in Wisconsin." "High-power Teflon sniper round went right through the cop's Kevlar vest." "I don't buy it." "He's smart enough to blow up the lab but then stupid enough to leave a quarter of a million bucks underneath the sink so we'd be sure to find it?" "So, what you're sayin' there?" "Some cowboy's gone off the reservation?" "100 bucks." "Kid didn't do it." "You got a nationwide manhunt for an innocent man." "Make sure nobody shoots 'im." "Next shift's going down now, okay?" "Yeah, right." "Help me out on this, will you?" "I've had problems with the conveyor belt." "Damn, I'll have a..." "Yeah." "No, no, I'll have, uh, Jim Zinsky work on that." "Okay?" "All right." "Listen, if you got any problems, gimme a call me on channel 4, okay?" "How is our young charge?" "Did she say anything?" "Well, we'll soon find out, won't we?" "The young lady does appear to be cooperating." "Good." " Gentlemen, you're just in time." " Well, let's get on with it." "Miss Sinclair, Mr. Chen, please, have a seat." "Attention, all personnel." "Critical path experiment will commence in ten minutes." "Critical path experiment will commence in ten minutes." " Activate the H2 compressor." " Oh, on automatic." "Here we go." "Lucasz, what are you reading?" " Two million Kelvin." " Activate the laser." "Four million Kelvin." "Shut it down!" "Shut it down!" "Damn it!" "What a joke." "It won't work without the right frequencies." "What did he say?" "He said that's what he's been trying to tell you for days." "Look." "Let's try it again in the morning, okay?" "See you back here at 8:15 tomorrow, all right?" "I have a feeling, dr." "Sinclair, the solution will present itself." "I doubt it." "It had better or your usefulness will soon be outlived." "Take them back to their room." "I wish you wouldn't threaten to kill my scientists right to their faces." "It might make my job easier." "Lucasz, Hamada, seal the lab!" "I want to see those printouts first thing in the morning." " It's working?" " Yes." " How?" " Lucasz claims he figured it out." " Lucasz?" " That's his story." "You should have seen it when I got here, Lyman." "Mm-hm." "I mean, the output was going right through the roof!" "Son of a bitch!" "It really does work." "Ha!" "Dr. Shannon, take a look at that." "We've got it." " What did you do?" " Nothing." "Well, uh, I couldn't sleep last night, sir." "I heard this voice saying," ""Go down and check different frequencies" ""because we were trying on 15 and 20 megahertz."" "So I went down to the lab and... ran the experiment." "And it all worked out." "So... here we are, sir." "Did you document the regulator frequencies?" "Not yet." "I'd like those on a disk..." "Now, sir." "None too shabby, hey, Mr. Shannon?" " Doctor." " Thank you." "Where are you going, Paul?" "I'm gonna check this against the Chicago data." "I'll try to meet you at the silo." " Wait as long as you can." " Yes, sir." "Hello, Eddie!" "Figured it was you." "Nice place you have here, Shannon." "Ten-megaJoule lasers..." "particle reactors..." "You know, Congress defunded most of the stuff down here years ago." "They made a mistake." "Is this part of the Moore Foundation?" "In a manner of speaking." "Power and money." "Is that what this was all about?" "I'm afraid it's a little more complicated than that, Eddie." "He was a 60-year-old scientist who did nothing but good and they put a bag over his head." "It was a mistake." "Last thing I wanted was for something to happen to Alistair." "But a decision had to be made." "So..." "Who made the decision?" " You?" " That's my job." "That's what I'm paid to do." "I'm paid to do dirty work." "The work people don't want to know about." "People wanna live in their split-level homes." "And eat microwave dinners and watch colour TV." "Is that what you think?" "Alistair was a dreamer." "Clean air, free energy." "Noble concepts but we live on a planet that is addicted to petroleum." "Now, what happens if you dump free energy onto the world market?" "Stock markets around the world would plummet." "Our own economy would collapse overnight." "Recession, unemployment, war." "The world is speeding up too fast now, Eddie." "We can barely hold on as it is." "You're right, it's not working." "That's why we gotta try something else." "Not bury the technology, but let it out." "You let it out, but you let it out at a pace the world can absorb." "It can absorb it now." "There's our boy." "Mr. Kasalivich!" "How kind of you to join us." "Give us a moment, Lyman." "Eddie and I are having a conversation." "Please!" "Don't let me stop you!" "Who runs this place, Shannon?" "You?" " Or the guy with the guns?" " Well, we are a cooperative..." "of sorts." "Run at the behest of the United States government." "But without their knowledge, right?" "My, my, but your friend is sharp, Paul." "All right, Eddie." "What do you want?" "Here are the specs for the regulator." "You can pull the frequencies off the computer." "Now let us go." "I get it to work." "You give us our lives back." "That was the deal, wasn't it?" "Yeah." "Yeah, that was the deal." "I'm afraid, young man, your position is non-negotiable." "I see." "I wanna tell you this story how I got inspired." " I had this dream..." " No!" "Hold on." " I will continue." " Yes." "What's happening?" "What did you just do?" "I just told the FBI I was willing to surrender." "Oh, and, uh..." "I think your experiment just got a mind of its own." "Check the breakers." "Everybody, back to your stations!" " Leon." " What the hell is goin' on, Doyle?" "I just started a couple of minutes ago." "Hundreds of pages." "Technical drawings, specs for scientific experiments, budgets, personnel records, minutes of meetings, most of them are marked top secret." " Where is it coming from?" " C-Systems." "Looks like they dumped their mainframe into our fax and into our computers." "Look, here's a, uh, special love note just for you." "Jesus Christ, Kasalivich." "Yeah." "He says he's in a bunker in Leesburg, Virginia, with some of his bomb-making buddies and wants us to come down and arrest him." " Lake Geneva Radical Bomb Network?" " Yeah, sound like bullshit?" "Sounds like you owe me 100 bucks." "Make sure that fax machine doesn't run out of paper." " Hamada!" " Still off-line!" " Pressure?" " Presure is 500 psi rising." "What the hell's going on?" "We've lost control of the system, Lyman." "We can't shut it down." "Turn it off." "It's self-sustaining." "It can't be shut down." "Al!" "How long before we run out of storage capacity?" "I don't know." "It's accelerating." "What you say, Eddie?" "20 minutes before it blows?" "Maybe less." " Is he right?" " I'm afraid he is." "Well done, Eddie." "Well done." "You wouldn't blow it up if you weren't sure" " you were gonna get outta here alive." " Sure I would." "Lyman, I think it's time we got the hell out of here." " No!" " Chen!" " Lily!" " Chen!" "For God's sake, Lyman!" "Chen!" "Chen!" "Wait!" "Wait!" " Jesus Christ!" " What is wrong with you?" " Turn it off!" " That was totally unnecessary." "If you haven't got the stomach for this, Paul, you stay clear out of the way." "I'm going to turn down the power and reboot the system." " No!" " Don't touch that!" "Don't!" "Attention!" "Hydrogen containment failure." "Potential personnel hazard." " The compressor's just shut down." " Turn it back on, man!" " You can't." " The computers are down." "Get out!" "Get out!" "Everybody!" " Fix it." " I can't now." " Fix it!" " I can't!" "I wouldn't do that, Lyman." "It will ignite the hydrogen." "It's over, Lyman." "It's over." "I guess it's time to go." "Go!" "Go!" "Give me the disk." " You two, stay!" " No, Lyman!" "Let them go!" "What possible difference can it make now?" " They stay!" " When does it end, Lyman?" "Never." "Well, it's not your decision." "The decision is mine, and I say they're coming." "You can stay with 'em..." "if you like." "We must go now." "Well, are you comin'?" "Warning." "Warning." "Air contaminants at critical level." "Come on, Paul!" "We've got things to do!" "I'm sorry, Eddie." " Shannon!" " Shannon!" "Please!" "Warning!" "Warning!" "Air contaminants at critical level." "Evacuate immediately." "Warning." "Air contaminants at critical level." "Evacuate immediately." "All containment doors are now closed." "The tanks." "Okay, here's the elevator." "There's room for everybody." "I am looking for two men." "Paul Shannon and Lyman Collier." "Hang on to them." "Follow the blue evacuation route arrows to the elevators." "Move in an orderly fashion quickly and quietly..." "Gentlemen, our friends from the FBI will be here presently." "Anita, we're on our way." "You two, go to the north elevator." "I'll take it from here." "Come on!" "Come on, Lily." "Eddie, which way?" "By the way, Paul, do you have that disk?" "The one with the magic frequency?" "Thank you so much." "You know, Paul, maybe it's time to call it a day." "Maybe you're getting too old for this." "What do you think, huh?" "But then again..." "what would we do?" "What would we do, hm?" "I didn't tell you, Lyman... but your retirement had already been arranged." "Containment systems off." "Access restored to all areas." "Containment systems off." "Hey, hold on, hold on!" "Take it up, take it up!" "They got a 20 on Kasalivich?" "They found the stolen truck at the construction site one mile to the west." "Hold on." "Eddie, look." "Get up." "Come on, Reed." "We gotta go!" "I thought you said the hole was clear!" "Get back in the seat, Ernie, get back in the seat." "Eddie..." "Lily, get in the basket!" "Get out of here." "Go!" "Eddie, come on!" "Eddie!" "Hold on." "Hold on, Eddie, hold on." "Come on, Eddie." "Come on!" "Pull it up, pull it up." "Holy... did you see that?" "Whoa!" "Come on, Ernie, get 'im outta there." "Eddie Kasalivich." "Agent Ford." "You got the message." "Yeah, we levelled a forest printing the damn thing." "What's it mean, Eddie?" " Plans... for clean, cheap energy." " Anybody else get this?" "Hopefully, a couple thousand world renowned scientists." " I knew I liked this kid." " Yeah, right, Leon." "Come on." "You got some questions to answer in Washington for about six weeks." " That's okay." " We got a lot to talk about as long as everyone stops shooting at us." "Doyle, split 'em up." "I'll meet you back at the office." "Hey, come on with me." "Ford!" "Doctor Sinclair and I ride together." "All right, come on, both o' you." "Anita, take a memo." "To the Director of Central Intelligence." "C-Systems... no longer a viable entity." "Will be in contact."
