"You're not grounded anymore." " Yo, what's up?" " Dude, dude, dude," "I gotta talk to you, man." "Listen, listen, listen." " I copied a garbage file." " Big deal." "A garbage file's got shit in it, Joey." "No, no, it's, like, hot or something." "I don't know." "Joey, a garbage file holds miscellaneous data, junk." "It's the stuff that's been erased, man." "Icopied it from Ellingson, okay?" "They're asking me about it, all right?" "Will you take a look for me?" "Okay." "Oh, shit, Joey." "You got a tail." "Shit!" "lam watching you." "Ramon, wake up." "Hm...?" "Ramon?" "Wake up." "V?" "monos." "Time for school." "Come on." "Don't move!" " Don't move!" " D?" "j?" "vu." "Ray Sanchez, you're under arrest underthe Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986." "iLa computadora de mierda!" "What are you waiting for?" "Arrest me already." "You get one call." "Uno." "Understand?" "Hello." "Operator Services." "Hello, Operator, I'm having trouble dialing a number." " What number, please?" " 555-4202." " Just one moment." " Thank you." " Hello." " Hey, it's me." " Phreak?" " I'm freaking." "Joey wasn't making it up." "He really hacked into Ellingson." "He gave me the disk with the file he copied, and now I'm in jail." "They're charging me with some serious shit and there's stuff I didn't even do, like, get this, inserting some virus called "da Vinci."" "And they keep asking about you guys." " You think they're gonna bust us?" "Yeah." "You'd better figure out what's on that disk, 'cause we're being framed." "It's in that place where I put that thing that time...?" "Hi." "And now I see what all the fuss is about." "Hey, you have company." " It's a nice room." " We need your help." "Do my ears deceive me?" "No, no, no, no, no, no, no." "Truce, you guys." "Listen, we got a higher purpose here, right?" "A wake-up call forthe Nintendo generation." "We demand free access to data." "Well, it comes with some responsibility." ""When I was a child, I spake as a child," "I understood as a child." "I thought as a child." "But when I became a man, I put away childish things."" "What?" "It's Corinthians 1, Chapter 13, verse 11." "You know, duh." "Come on." "Phreak and Joey are being framed." "We need your help to figure out what's on this disk." "I can't." "Everybody who touches that thing gets busted." "I can't afford to get arrested." "I'm sorry." "Maybe I should just go to the bathroom or something." "What is it with you?" "I know we've been playing games, but we're supposed to be on the same side, and we really need your help." "I really need your help." "I'm sorry." "I can't." "Look, well, could youjust make a copy of the disk and just hide it in case we get busted, so we have something to give our lawyers, something that hasn't been tampered with?" "Can you do that?" "Listen, you guys, help yourself to anything in the fridge." "Cereal has." "Thank you." " Okay." "I'll copy it." " Okay, thank you." "The girl-- the girl has the disk I need." "I told you, I don't play well with others." "Turn on your laptop." "Set it to receive a file." "Lauren Murphy is now a wanted felon in the state of Washington." "Forgery, embezzlement, two drug convictions, plus shejumped parole." "When she's arrested, she will not have a trial." "She will not pass "Go." She will go directly to jail." "Then I change this file backto the original, and your mom disappears." "That's bullshit." "What can I tell you?" "Computers never lie, kid." "Your mom will be arrested at work." "She'll be handcuffed and later strip-searched." "You lay a finger on her, and I'll kill you." "Kid, don't threaten me." "There are worse things than death, and I can do all of them." " Talkto me." " I got it." "But, listen, Kate didn't know what's on it." "Imean, she came to me to figure it out." "She's not the one who planted the virus." "You leave her alone." "Hey, don't worry, kid." "If she's innocent, she'll be fine." "Your mommy is safe now, okay?" " Kate, listen." " Hold on." " I have to tell you something." " Hold on a sec." " This is so lean and clean." " It's like a hacker wrote it." "Come here." "Look at this." "Man, this thing is tense." "Lookit." "That's ill, man." "It's incomplete." "It's taking forever and a day to figure out." "I'll make some coffee." "Tag, you're in." "It isn't a virus." "It's a worm." "What's this one eat?" "It nibbles." "You see all ofthis?" "This is every financial transaction Ellingson conducts, yeah?" "From million-dollar deals to the 10 bucks that some guy pays for gas." "The worm eats a few cents from each transaction." "And no one's caught it because the money isn't really gone." "It's just data being shifted around." "And when the worm's ready, it zips out with the money and erases its tracks." "Joey got cut off before he got to that part." "Check it out." "By this point, it's already running at, what, twice the speed as when it started?" "Right, and at this rate, it ends its run in" " Two days." " Judging by this segment alone," " it's already eaten about-- - 21.8 million bucks, man." "Whoever wrote this needs somebody to take the fall, and that's Phreak and that's Joey and that's us." "We gotta get the rest of the file, so we can find out where the money is going before the worm disappears, so we can find out who created it." " I know." "I know who wrote it." " What?" "This Ellingson security creep." "I gave him a copy of the disk you gave rne." " What?" " You what?" "I didn't know what was on it." "Oh, man." "That's universally stupid, man." "Yo, man." "You're an amateur, man." " Why did he come to you?" " I've got a record." "I was Zero Cool." "Zero Cool-- crashed 1507 systems in one day-- the biggest crash in history, front page of "The New York Times," August 10, 1988." "I thought you was black, man." "Yo, man, this is Zero Cool!" " Oh, shit!" " That's far out." "This is Zero Cool, man." "Yeah, well, that's great." "There goes MIT." " I'll make it up!" "Yeah?" "How?" "I'll hack the Gibson." "Dude, they'll trace you like that, man." "The cops are gonna find you, they're gonna find you with a smoking gun." " Fucked if I care, man." " Even if you had the password, it'd take you 10 minutes to get in, and you still gotta find the files, man." "Imean, the cops would have you in five minutes." "Oh, wow." "We are fried." "Never send a boy to do a woman's job." "With rne, we can do it in seven." "You're both screwed." "I help-- we do it in six." "Jesus, I gotta save all your asses." "I help-- we can do it in five minutes, man." "Okay, let's go shOPPillQ" "Whoo-hoo!" "Boom!" "You know... if I didn't live by a strict code of honor, lmighttake advantage ofthis situation-- erotically, as it were." "All right, hold it right there!" "Shit!" "My subway defense system." "He's way down there." "Ta-da!" "Yo, brain-dead-- the manual!" "Oops." "Hey!" "Truck!" "Find it?" "Oh, the phone's all right." "The problem must be somewhere else." "They had a large chunk of the garbage file?" "How much do they know?" "Not everything, but enough to implicate us." "You said the worm was untraceable." "Yeah, to civilians." "But they're hackers." "But don't worry." "All we have to do is launch the da Vinci virus." " And then they'll all be put away." " Launch the da Vinci virus?" "You can't do that." "No one believes the guilty." "Besides, by the time they realize the truth, we'll be long gone with all of our money." "Look, there is no right and wrong." "There's only fun and boring." "A 30-year prison sentence sounds pretty dull to me." "Who do you prefer serves it-- us or them?" "Unless $5 million are transferred to the following numbered account in seven days," "I will capsize five tankers in the Ellingson fleet." "The virus goes off tomorrow morning at 10:30, and those hackers tried to get into our system again." "At this point, I insist you take more strenuous action, or Ellingson Mineral will hold the Secret Service responsible." "Get me arrest warrants on Kate Libby, alias "Acid Burn,"" "Emmanuel Goldstein, alias "Cereal Killer,"" "Dade Murphy, alias "Crash Override,"" "also known as "Zero Cool,"" "and Paul Cook, alias "Lord Nikon."" "We pick them up tomorrow morning at 9:00." "Snoop onto them..." "As they snoop onto us." " Yeah, it's Kate." " Hey, Burn, we got a little problem here." " All right, so what have we got?" " Well, we have 50 passwords, plus whatever "Polaroid-head" here got inside Ellingson." "Well, I gota lot, all right?" "Idon't know how many, but... my head hurts." "Yo, yo, yo." "check this out." " Hey, what's "da Vinci virus"?" " What?" "Check this out." "It's a memo about how they're gonna deal with those oil spills that happen on the 14th." "What oil spills?" "Whoa, whoa." "Yo, brain-dead, today is the 13th." "Well, this hasn't happened yet." "Wait a minute." "The 14th-- that's the same day the worm ends its run." "I mean, da Vinci virus-- didn't Phreak say that's what he's being charged with?" "Look. "infecting ballast programs of Ellingson tankers."" " They blame hackers." " Damn!" "Aworm and a virus?" "The plotthickens." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "Where are you going, huh?" "Igot an idea." "Look, we got a few hours, right, till we get arrested?" "Sojust stay low." "I'm gonna go get some help." "I'll beep you, okflY?" "Shit." "Are you coming?" "May the Force be with you, man." "There they are!" "Razor and Blade?" "They're flakes!" "They're elites." "Let's get 'em." "Good morning, Vietnam!" "Ha-ha!" "Aw, yeah." "This is once again the man that threw this party." "I'm doin' this." "My style is quadruple damage for MCs" "I'll make 'em huff 'n'puff like mufflers from Meineke" "Human exhaust, you wanted to get lost" "Rhymes plus Exxon ride brains like Alain Prost" "You MC clowns, I blaze towns" "I dragwheel skulls I leave with speed and dust clouds..." " Hey, come on, get off the stage." " Razor and Blade" "I gotta talk to those guys." "Hey, hey, hey!" "Jive and babble, throw heavy Scrabble" "Sparkles plus the bubbles plus the flavor like Snapple" "AII you so-called rebels, heavy-metal cattle" "Some horses got force, but I simply tame with saddle..." "You struggle with my tempo, you ain't got good grief!" "Brothers amazed, keep 'em all in a daze" "With the wild funk blaze, good grief!" "I lost them." "Where were you?" "ldon't like this." "I definitely don't like this." "What do you want?" "Um... we come in peace?" "We need your help, if you're up to it." "She's buff, ballsy." " Let's keep her." " Waste the dude." "A virus called da Vinci will cause oil spills at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time tomorrow." "It's somehow connected with the worm that's stealing the money." "We need your help to overload the Gibson so we can kill the da Vinci virus and download the worm program." "She's rabid but cute." "See, we're very busy." "A TV network that wishes to remain nameless has expressed an interest in our show." "Let's go, Kate." "Wait." "Nobody said no." "But you are going to need more thanjust two media icons like us." "You need an army." "That's it-- an electronic army." "If I were us, I'd get on the Internet, send out a major distress signal." ""Hackers of the world, unite."" "How are you gonna take care of the cops?" "Yo, I'm blowing up." "It's Kate, Grand Central." "Let's hit it." "The light is green!" "You're the man, baby." "You're the man!" "Hey, Joey, you made it!" "Joe!" "Joey!" "All right, listen up." "Use your best viruses to buy us some time." "We have to get into Plague's file and copy the worm." "AII right, that was a little tension-breaker." "That had to be done, all right?" " Cereal?" " Yeah?" " Go fix the phones." " Roger." "Joey, take his place." " What, me?" " Take his place, man." "Do it." " You can do it." "Just do it." " Cereal, we're counting on you." " Just do it." " Ready?" " Yeah." " All right, let's boot up." " I'm shut down completely." " Green light." "When the green lighfs blinking, there's something wrong." "My computerjust crashed." "Printers" "Oh, my God--!" "I don't know." "Viruses everywhere." "What is it?" "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "It's just a minor glitch." "A minor glitch with you seems to turn into a major catastrophe." " There's a new virus in the database." " What's happening?" "It's replicating, eating up memory." "What do I do?" "Type "cookie," you idiot." "I'll head them off at the pass." "We have a "zero bug" attacking all log-in and overlay files." "Run antivirus." "Give me a systems display." "Now we've lost sections 6 through 26." "No, make that 10 to 40." " And 1 through 6." " Die, dickweeds." "A rabbit is in the administration system." " Send a flu shot." " Rabbit?" "Flu shot?" "Someone talk to me." "A "rabbit" replicates till it overloads a file," " then it spreads like cancer." "Cancer?" "Row, rem row your boat" "Gently down the stream" "Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily" "Life is but a dream" " Row, row, row your boat..." " Whoa." "Crawling halt." "It's the Gibson." "It's finding us too fast." "Man, there's too many garbage files." "I need more time." "They're at Grand Central Station, lower level." "Don't screw up." "Go!" "Get out of here!" "Everybody, let's move!" " Move it!" " Let's go!" "Get the hell out of the way." "Come on." "30 seconds." "Move it." "Game's over." "Last chance to get out of this without a prison sentence." "You're not good enough to beat me, you little shit." "Yeah, maybe I'm not." "But we are, you asshole." " Give it up." " Three minutes to capsize." "Just give it up." "Are we fashionably late?" "Okay, let's go." "Okay." "Si, sono pronta." "Andiamo." "We have massive infection, multiple GPI and FSI viruses." "It's coming in from remote nodes." "They're going for the Kernal!" " "Colonel" who?" " The system command processor." " It's the brain." " Cancer, brain." "Brain, cancer." " Belf, what's going on?" " In short, Duke, a shitstorm." "Move!" "Go!" "Move!" "Move!" "Move!" "Did they call the police--?" "Get out of the way!" "Ifound it." "Ifound it!" "This is the end, my friend." "Thank you for calling." "Oh, shit." "He got me." "Yo, Joey's getting stupid busy." "Come on, out of my way, my man." "Joey, I need you to drop your virus, go after the worm." " You're the closest." " Out of the way, people!" "It's "root, slash, period, workspace, slash, period, garbage, period."" "Out of the way!" "Let's go." "Out of the way!" "Out of the way!" "Get out of the way!" "Freeze!" "Aw!" "Oh, come on!" "Ha!" "All right." "Goodjob." " Kill the Gibson." " Rogerthat." "Come on, you son ofa bitch." "ls that all you got, huh?" "Come on!" "Let's see what else you can do!" "You talking to me, huh?" "!" "Are you nuts?" "Come at me." "They're in the Kernal." "Help me...!" "The tankers have stopped capsizing." "The ballast tanks are empty." "We should be okay." "Little pissant." "Yes!" " We did it." " Let's get out of here." "Freeze!" "Train departing track number 24..." "Keep it moving." "Come on, come on." "What are you waiting on?" "Let's go." "They're trashing our rights, man!" "They're trashing the flow of data!" "They're trashing!" "Trashing!" "Trashing!" "Hack the planet!" " Hack the planet!" " Shut up and get in the car." "Hack the planet!" "Hack the planet!" " Hello?" " We caughtthem." " Good." " Red-handed." "You won't be having any more trouble from them." "Me, all right?" "ldid it." "She knows shit about computers." "She's just my girlfriend." "lsuggest you modify your attitude, because you are floating and I'm about to flush your ass." "You've got a Mrs. Murphy to see you, sir." "Are you crazy?" "What are you doing?" "I'm trying to help you." " Dade." " What?" "Thanks for your help." "Your son is in big trouble." "He has violated his probation and he has engaged in criminal activity." "My son happens to be a genius." "He understands something happening today that you won't comprehend if you live to be a hundred." "And he would never use what he knows to harm a living soul." "The news crew you requested is here." "Oh, good. 'Cause I have a few things to tell them." "Your son is facing 30 felony counts in an ongoing investigation." "You face possible arrest if you do that." "Mister, I don't care if I face certain death." "Mrs. Murphy stays right here." "Oh, wow." "She's great." "Yeah." "...and attacked the Ellingson's computer network." "Is this the last we've seen of this type of high-tech espionage?" "Well, I'm afraid not." "Hackers are a grave threat to the national security." "This incident just proves without a doubt that we need increased funding to stop" " Hold on." "We're getting interference." " Hola, boys and girls." " It is I, the Cereal Killer..." " Get that clown off." "Making my first coast-to-coast worldwide global television appearance." "Yes, that's right." "I'm here to tell you about this heinous scheme hatched from within Ellingson Mineral." "But for what, you ask?" "World domination?" "Nay." "Something far more tacky." "A virus called da Vinci, that, when launched, would cause Ellingson mineral tankers to capsize, was to be blamed on innocent hackers." "But this virus was really the smokescreen, right?" "What could be so vitally important to protect" " that someone would create..." " How did he do that?" "...such a nasty, antisocial, very uncool virus program?" "But Why?" "Could it be to cover the tracks of this worm program-- a worm that was to steal 25 million bucks?" "The password to this hungry little sucker belongs to Margo Wallace," " head of Public Relations..." " Oh, my God--!" "...and Eugene Belford, computer security officer." " Son of a bitch!" "Oh, my--!" "Oh!" "What's this?" "Is this the unnamed account in the Bahamas where the money was to be stashed?" "I think so." "Unlucky!" "Yo, I kind of feel like God." "plague...?" "Eugene?" "!" "A comedy of errors-- I don't even know how to work the VCR, let alone a computer." "Get off!" "Look." "Listen, I'll make a deal." "Eugene Belford-- I know where his mother is." "I promise you." "Get off rne." "I need a lawyer!" "Thank you." "Here you are, Mr. Babbage." "Flight time to Tokyo should be about 14 hours today." "Can I get you anything else?" "Just a pillow, please." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "What's going on?" "Let go of me!" "Stewardess!" "I'll neverfly this airline again!" "You look good in a dress." "You would have looked better." "Want to go for a swim?" "I can't believe they decided you won." "They didn't." "The guys felt it was the only way I'd get a date." "Anyway... you're pretty good." "You're elite." "Yeah?" "You know, if you would have said so in the beginning, you would have saved yourself a whole lot of trouble." "Beat that." "You know," "I've been having these really weird" "Dreams?" "Ilove you, Ilove you today" "I don't care what" "The world has to say" "They don't know that" "Ilove you" "Ilove you today" "I don't care what" "The world has to say" "They don't know that" "Dreams escape from the fear" "Built inside, in his heart" "Bring me home, cast the net" "Far and wide, I'll return" "To the night, mask up front" "Cast away, give me love" "I don't care what the world has to say" "You should know that I love you" "Ilove you" "Ilove you today" "I don't care what" "The world has to say" "They don't know that" "Ilove you, Ilove you today" "I don't care what" "The world has to say" "They don't know that I'm in love" "Ican feel the eyes behind us" "As we walk" "I can see the ears that listen" "When we talk" "I don't care what the world has to say" "You should know that I love you" "Ilove you, Ilove you today" "Can't you see how I feel?" "Like a cloud, conquer all" "With the thoughts in my head" "In my heart, love is real" "Can't you see how I feel?" "Like a cloud, conquer all" "With the thoughts in my head" "In my heart, once again" "Can't you see how I feel?" "Like a cloud, conquer all" "With the thoughts in my head" "In my heart, love is real..."
