"It's better if you don't think of them as human." "No." "They're much more than that." "Science has stolen most of our miracles." "In a way, they give us hope, hope of the existence of the divine." "I find it interesting that some people have begun to deify the Precogs." "The Precogs are pattern-recognition filters, that's all." "Yet you call this room "the temple."" "Just a nickname."

"The killer's a John Doe." "Never identified." "Why is he still a John Doe?" "Why wasn't he ever ID'd from the eye-scan?" "On account of those are not his eyes."

"(EXCLAIMS)" "We don't seem to have her data." "Try again." "This is odd." "See?" "We have the two previsions." "We got what Art saw, we got what Dash saw, but Agatha's isn't here." "Probably just a glitch." "Tell me about the intended victim, this Anne Lively." "Looks like she's a neuroin addict, like our John Doe here, but I show an address history that includes the Beaton Clinic." "So she cleaned up." "So where's she now?" "I guess glitches come in twos." "You finally crawl your way out of one hole just to fall into another." "No." "I can't let you take that out of here, Chief." "It's against the rules." "Anything else going on in here that's against the rules?" "Careful, Chief." "You dig up the past, all you get is dirty." "And then you said the third prevision was, what, kind of fuzzy or something?" "No." "No, the third prevision, Agatha's prevision, wasn't there." "That's not all."

"Just what is it you think I can do for you?" "You can tell me how someone can fake a prevision." "How would I know that?" "Because you invented Precrime." "(HINEMAN CHUCKLING)" "What's so funny?" "If the unintended consequences of a series of genetic mistakes and science gone haywire can be called invention, yes, then I invented Precrime." "You don't seem all that proud." "I'm not." "I was trying to heal them, not turn them into something else." "Heal who?" "The innocents we now use to stop the guilty." "You're talking about the Precogs." "You think the three in the tank come out of a test tube?" "They are merely the ones who survived." "I was doing genetic research at the Woodhaven Clinic, treating children of drug addicts." "This was 1 0 years ago, when neuroin first hit the streets." "It was an impure form of the drug, not the engineered cocktail that became so popular among the more educated." "All of these kids were born with severe brain damage." "Most died before the age of 12." "Those few, those precious few who survived, they had a gift." "I call it a gift." "For them, it was more like a cosmic joke." "They would wake up in the night, curled up in the corner of their rooms, screaming, clawing at the wallpaper." "Because when these little children, you see, closed their eyes at night, they dreamt only of murder, over and over, one after the other." "And it didn't take long for us to realize that the real nightmare was tha tthese so-called dreams were about to come true." "These murders were actually happening." "You say some of the children died." "So many of them, despite what we did for them." "Or maybe because of what we did to them." "But it doesn't matter." "It's a perfect system now, isn't it?" "I'm not going to commit murder." "I've never met the man I'm supposed to kill." "And yet a chain of events has started, a chain that will lead you inexorably to his murder." "Not if I stay away from him." "How can you avoid a man you've never met?" "So you won't help me?" "I can't help you." "Nobody can." "The Precogs are never wrong." "But occasionally, they do disagree." "What?" "Most of the time, all three Precognitives will see an event in the same way, but once in a while, one of them will seething differently than the other two." "Jesus Christ." "Why didn't I know about this?" "Because these minority reports are destroyed the instant they occur." "Why?" "Obviously, for Precrime to function, there can't be any suggestion of fallibility." "After all, who wants a justice system that instills doubt?" "It may be reasonable, but it's still doubt." "Are you saying I've haloed innocent people?" "I'm saying that every so often those accused of a Precrime might, just might, have an alternate future." "Does Burgess know about this?" "About this minority report?" "I used to joke with Lamar that we were the mother and father of Precrime." "Well, in my experience, parents very often see their children as they want them to be, not as they are." "Answer my question." "Does Lamar Burgess know about the minority report?" "Yes, of course, he knew." "But at the time, he felt, we both felt, that their existence was an insignificant variable." "Insignificant to you, maybe, but what about those people that I put away with alternate futures?" "My God, if the country knew there was a chance..." "The system would collapse." "l believe in that system." "Do you really?" "You want to bring it down." "You will bring it down, if you manage to kill your victim." "Why, that will be the most spectacular public display of how Precrime didn't work." "I'm not gonna kill anybody." "Hold that thought." "Why should I trust you?" "You shouldn't." "You shouldn't trust anyone." "Certainly not the Attorney General, who just wants it all for himself." "And not the young federal agent who wants your job." "Not even the old man who just wants to hang onto what he created." "Don't trust anyone." "Just find the minority report." "You said the minority report's destroyed." "The record is destroyed." "The original report still exists." "I designed the system so that whenever a report occurred, it would be stored in a safe place, but not declared." "What safe place is that?" "The safest place there is." "Where is it?" "Inside the Precog who predicted it." "All you have to do is download it, darling." "That's all, huh?" "Just walk right into Precrime, get in the temple, somehow tap into these Precogs, and then download this minority report." "lf you have one." "And then walk out." "Actually, I think you'll have to run out, but, yes, that is what you have to do." "You're insane." "Or you think I am." "I'll get eye-scanned a dozen times before I get within 1 0 miles of Precrime!" "Sometimes, in order to see the light, you have to risk the dark." "As a policeman..." "Oh, excuse me, as a former policeman," "I'm sure that you know all sorts of people who can help you out in this regard." "It's funny how all living organisms are alike." "When the chips are down, when the pressure is on, every creature on the face of the Earth is interested in one thing and one thing only." "Its own survival." "Find the minority report." "How do I even know which one has it?" "It's always in the more gifted of the three." "Which one is that?" "The female." "FLETCHER:" "All right, here's where we're at." "Three men in a room." "The victim is here." "John is here." "And this unidentified male, out the window." "Now, the adjacent building suggests public housing, but I can't make out the location, which means..." "There's thousands of units like this one." "Yeah, they're everywhere." "But he doesn't go there to kill Crow for another 22 hours." "Excuse me, this is Chief Anderton's space." "Casey, he's okay." "You can't sit in his space." "He's not here anymore." "He'll be back." "l doubt that." "What happened to you?" "It's okay." "In the meantime, I'm betting he's somewhere in the sprawl." "Anderton's smart enough to go where electronic billboards and other media can't ID him to pick his pockets." "There's fewer consumers there, which means fewer scanners to target him." "Why won't he just run?" "Because he thinks he's innocent." "We concentrate on the sprawl." "Do flyovers in shifts with two spyder teams on the ground."

"You wouldn't break the hand of a violinist before the concert." "Please, relax." "All I'm trying to tell you is that I'll have to remove your eyes completely." "I know." "And I'll have to replace them with new ones." "I know that, but I wanna keep the old ones." "Why?" "Because my mother gave them to me." "What's it to you?" "They're no good in the secondary market anyway." "Whatever you say." "It's your money." "(SPEAKING SWEDISH)" "Let me introduce my gorgeous assistant, Miss Van Eyck." "(TOILET FLUSHING)" "(SINGING IN SWEDISH)" "This is not a lot of money." "It's all that I could safely move." "What did you give me?" "Smile medicine."

"From where?" "D.C.?" "Baltimore." "East side." "Baltimore?" "Yeah." "How do we go way back?" "Solomon P. Eddie, M.D. I was a plastic surgeon." "You remember?" "I specialized in burn victims, mostly women." "l put you away." "Oh, yeah." "You did." "You made those tapes." "They were performance pieces." "You set your patients on fire." "l put them out!" "Some not as quickly as others, but let's change the subject, shall we?" "The future is so much more interesting than the past, don't you think?" "Miss van Eyck, I'm afraid she's already smitten." "She only has eyes for you." "I know what you're thinking, John." "How can I do what I do now?" "Well, let's say that I did spend an awful lot of time in the prison library." "Now that was a great way to avoid some of the more unpleasant aspects of prison life." "Confinement was a real education, a real eye-opener." "(SPEAKING SWEDISH) I mean, for true enlightenment, there's nothing quite like, well, let's say, taking a shower while this large felon with an attitude you can't even knock down with a hammer" "whispers in your ear, "Oh, Nancy." "Oh, Nancy."" "Now, that was a lot of fun." "Thank you so very much, John, for putting me there." "Thank you so very much for giving me the opportunity to get to know myself so much better." "And now, to return the favor." "This your work?" "LARA:" "Yes." "I like it." "Thanks." "You take anything in your coffee?" "Cream and sugar." "l don't have any cream." "Sorry." "Just sugar, then." "You and John ever come here?" "We used to, every summer." "He's not here now, is he?" "I had to ask." "You know, I don't have any sugar, either." "Thank you." "He hasn't tried to contact you?" "No." "You ever heard him mention the name Leo Crow?" "No, but then I don't talk to John that much anymore." "So you haven't seen his apartment?" "That was our apartment." "Have you been there recently?" "It's full of these." "How long has he been doping?" "Since right after we lost our son." "You mean after he lost your son." "It was nobody's fault." "But John was with him at the public pool." "You said in your divorce papers that John tried to kill himself." "It wasn't a suicide attempt." "l regret ever saying that." "Then what was it?" "The FBI found something that belonged to my son, a sandal." "Anyway, John was upset." "He..." "He took out his gun and sat down and watched his home movies." "He shot..." "This is all in your statement, Lara." "He shot a hole in the damn ceiling." "So what?" "You lose your son, let's see how well you handle it." "Lamar Burgess thinks you left John because he lost himself in Precrime instead of you." "I left him because every time I looked at him, I saw my son." "Every time I got close to him, I smelled my little boy." "That's why I left him." "And now you can leave." "Don't take the bandages off for 1 2 hours." "If you take them off before then, you'll go blind." "Understand?" "In the fridge there's milk, and Greta made you a sandwich." "Make sure you drink a lot of water." "How do I find the bathroom?"

"In 30 minutes, it'll tighten up again, but it's gonna hurt like nothing you've ever felt before." "Gonna put this in your goodie bag, together with your leftovers." "I'm setting up a timer."

"'Cause there's no possible way I can beat 25.1 6 seconds." "How long can a whale hold its breath underwater?" "A whale can hold its breath for about 20 minutes." "So we gotta beat the whale." "Okay." "We gotta beat the whale." "Here you go." "Now, that's gonna be 20 minutes." "You sure you don't want to go for an ice cream or something?" "No." "Because you know," "you know I'm going to beat that whale." "Yeah." "Okay, give me the count." "Ready?" "Give me the count." "Three, two, one, go." "Sean?" "Sean!" "Sean?" "Have you seen..."

"And now, nine years later, the District of Columbia is the safest city in America." "Why?" "Because Precrime works." "Precrime has eliminated the need for conventional detectives, so most of what happens now is the verification and the protection of the future victim." "Can we see the Precogs?" "Well, the Precogs have such a powerful gift that they have to be kept in peaceful seclusion so as not to be distracted from the outside world." "But this display is to give you some idea of what their daily life is like." "The Precogs get over eight million pieces of mail every year, more mail than Santa Claus gets."

"Are you cold?" "The shivers, it's the drugs we gave you." "It should wear off soon." "I'm sorry. I need your help." "You contain information." "I need to know how to get at it."

"You have the right to an attorney, now and during any further questioning." "If you can't afford an attorney, we will appoint one." "Do you understand these rights?" "You're not gonna kill me?" "Do you understand these rights?" "CROW:" "You're not gonna kill me?" "If you don't go through with this, my family gets nothing." "Okay?" "You're supposed to kill me." "He said you would." "He?" "Who's he?" "I don't know." "He called me in my cell." "He told me I'd be released if I went along," "and my family would be taken care of." "lf you did what?" "If you did what?" "If I acted like I killed your kid." "Okay?" "If you killed my kid?" "CROW:" "Look, you don't kill me, my family gets nothing." "Okay?" "What about the pictures?" "They're fake." "He gave them to me." "Okay?" "Now, listen to me." "You..." "You tell me, who was it that set this up?" "I don't know." "Come on." "I'm asking you again." "Who was it that put you up to this?" "l didn't see his face." "I tell you who it was, and my family gets nothing." "Who made you do this?" "Kill me." "You can do this." "Kill me." "Tell me." "Kill me." "Kill me." "Give me the gun." "Leo, let go of the gun." "Let go of the gun." "It's okay." "Let go of the gun." "That's it." "Let go of the gun." "You're not gonna kill me." "Goodbye, Crow." "Anderton, wait a... (SCREAMING)" "(GUN FIRING)" "No!" "WOMAN 1 :" "Hey, did you see it?" "MAN:" "Stay back!" "WOMAN 2:" "What's happening down there?" "WOMAN 3:" "Murder!" "Murder!" "WITWER:" "It doesn't make sense." "If you were a child killer, you took these pictures, would you leave them on the bed for anyone to find?" "They may have been put away." "Anderton might have found them." "What kind of cop were you before this?" "Treasury agent." "Eight years." "This would be your first actual murder scene?" "Yeah." "I worked homicide before I went federal." "This is what we call an orgy of evidence." "Know how many orgies i had as a homicide cop, Gordon?" "How many?" "None." "This was all arranged." "MAN: today we saw the first murder in the six years of the Precrime experiment." "(PHONE RINGING)" "Sadly enough, this failure was human." "The protection team simply didn't get there in time to stop the murder." "But the murder itself happened exactly as the Precogs predicted it would." "I think that today's event put a human face on the Precrime system." "Danny Witwer's on the phone." "He says it's important." "Lamar?" "What?" "WITWER:" "Lamar, there's something terribly wrong." "We're chasing the wrong man." "What?" "WITWER:" "I don't wanna say over the phone." "Meet me at Anderton's." "We recovered that from Leo Crow's hotel room." "LAMAR:" "I remember when I gave this to him, back in Baltimore." "WITWER:" "Please, sir." "Tell me what you have." "This is the murder of a woman named Anne Lively." "Yeah, John told me about this." "You got this from Containment?" "Yes. this is from the twins, Arthur and Dashiell." "Agatha's stream was missing." "Now this one is from the cyber parlor." "Anderton downloaded this directly from Agatha, and Rufus Riley recorded it." "It's the same prevision." "Not quite." "Look at the surface wind across the water." "Watch the ripples." "Moving away from shore." "Now the second image." "This is the one from Containment." "It's what Art and Dash saw." "Watch the water." "The wind's changed." "The ripples are moving the other way." "This murder's taking place at two different times." "According to the Sentry, Anderton was watching this at Containment right before he was tagged." "Well, I know." "He came to me, told me about the missing data stream." "He was concerned that you might find it." "Well, he was right. I did find it." "It was inside of Agatha the whole time." "So the question is, why would someone want this erased from the data file?" "Danny, just tell me what you're thinking." "I'm thinking someone got away with murder." "How?" "Well, Jad told me that sometimes the Precogs see the same murder more than once." "It's called an echo." "Jad called it "Precog déjà vu."" "Well, we teach the techs to identify them and disregard." "Yeah, but what if a technician only thought he was looking at an echo?" "What if what he was really looking at was a completely different murder altogether?" "I don't understand." "All you'd have to do is hire someone to kill Anne Lively, someone like a drifter, a neuroin addict, someone with nothing to lose." "Precrime stops the murder from taking place, haloes the killer, takes him away." "But then, right then, someone else, having reviewed the prevision and dressed in the same clothes, commits the murder in exactly the same way." "Technician takes a look, thinks he's looking at an echo, erases it." "Of course, it would have to be someone with access to the previsions in the first place." "Someone fairly high up." "(SHUSHING)" "Do you know what I hear?" "Nothing." "No footsteps up the stairs." "No hovercraft out the window." "No clickety-click of little spyders." "Do you know why I can't hear any of those things, Danny?" "Because right now, the Precogs can't see a thing." "(GUN FIRING)" "AGATHA:" "Can you see?" "It's beautiful." "Where are we going?" "JOHN:" "Someplace safe." "(BEEPING)" "Burgess." "Lamar, it's Lara." "LAMAR:" "Yes, Lara." "You have to help him." "Is he there?" "Yes." "Has he got the Precog with him?" "Yes." "Keep them there." "I'm on my way." "Please." "Please don't tell Danny Witwer." "I don't trust him." "I won't say a word." "You just don't let John leave, all right?" "He's no killer, Lamar." "I know." "AGATHA:" "It's cold." "Lara, this is Agatha." "You remember when I would read Tom Sawyer to you and Sean?" "He got so scared when Tom and Becky were lost in the cave." "I gotta sit down." "I gotta figure this out." "JOHN: they used Sean." "They wanted me to think Crow killed him." "But he didn't." "He didn't." "Why would they set you up?" "Because I found out about her." "About who?" "How could I not have seen this?" "Seen what?" "Anne Lively." "Agatha." "Dr. Hineman once said, "The dead don't die." "They look on and help."" "Remember that, John." "Agatha." "Sean." "He's on the beach now, toe in the water." "He's asking you to come in with him." "He's been racing his mother up and down the sand." "There's so much love in this house." "He's 1 0 years old." "He's surrounded by animals." "He wants to be a vet." "You keep a rabbit for him, a bird and a fox." "He's in high school." "He likes to run, like his father." "He runs the two-mile and the long relay." "He's 23." "He's at a university." "He makes love to a pretty girl named Claire." "He asks her to be his wife." "He calls here and tells Lara, who cries." "He still runs across the university and in the stadium, where John watches." "Oh, God." "He's running so fast, just like his daddy." "He sees his daddy." "He wants to run to him." "But he's only six years old, and he can't do it." "And the other man is so fast." "There was so much love in this house." "I want him back so bad." "So did she." "Can't you see?" "She just wanted her little girl back." "But it was too late." "Her little girl was already gone." "She's still alive." "She didn't die, but she's not alive." "Agatha?" "Just tell me, who killed your mother?" "Who killed Anne Lively?" "I'm sorry, John, but you're gonna have to run again." "What?" "(SCREAMING) Run!" "(WHISPERING) I love you." "Okay." "You're okay." "No, no." "You'll be fine with them." "No, no." "Stay with me." "Stay with me." "John, no." "Don't talk." "John Anderton." "By mandate of the District of Columbia Precrime Division," "I'm placing you under arrest for the murders of Leo Crow and Danny Witwer." "That's it." "That's my girl." "I was so worried about you." "Did he hurt you?" "I missed you so much." "It's okay." "Wally's here." "Wally's here." "You're a part of my flock now, John." "Welcome." "It's actually kind of a rush." "They say you have visions, that your life flashes before your eyes, that all your dreams come true." "This is all my fault." "There was nothing anyone could do." "Lara... I thought you might want to have those." "I haven't worn this in years. I just wanted to make sure it fits before tonight." "You look great." "I knew he was having trouble for some time, and yet I did nothing about it." "Excuse me." "The guy from USA today is here." "Tell him not now." "He just wanted a few minutes before..." "Not now!" "l thought you were retiring." "Well, I was." "But this incident with John made me realize the fragility of all this." "(CLEARING THROAT)" "This is John's legacy as much as it is my own." "Now I have an obligation to protect that." "Lara, I know how difficult this is for you." "But maybe you can find some closure in the fact that" "John finally found the man who killed your son." "Who's Anne Lively?" "Who?" "Anne Lively." "John was talking about her right before they took him." "I don't know who that is." "John said something about him being set up because he found out about her." "Well, we know why John was tagged." "He also said Crow was a fake." "And Witwer?" "He was killed with John's gun" "inside John's apartment." "Lamar, do you know the reason why John came here to work for you?" "Sean." "Yes." "He came here to work for you because he thought if he could just stop that kind of thing from happening..." "l understand." "No, I don't think you do." "Sir, they wanna start the press conference in two minutes." "Lara, John was the best cop I ever knew, and, in some ways, also the best man." "But the scars he carried around..." "Well, I know he'd want us to honor the good things we remember about him." "And I also know why he married you." "You're as stubborn as he is." "Lamar..." "Lara, do you know how to tie one of these?" "Could you please give me a hand?" "I'm all thumbs, you see." "Listen, I'll tell you what I'll do." "First thing Monday, I'll look over the Witwer evidence." "And I'll have Gideon run the Containment files, see if anyone drowned a woman by the name of..." "What did you say her name was?" "Anne Lively." "But I never said she drowned." "Sir, the press conference is starting." "I'll be right there." "We'll talk about this later." "Perhaps tomorrow I'll come by the cottage." "(PLAYING ORGAN)" "I'd like a word with my husband." "You're not authorized." "How did you get in here?" "(CLAPPING)" "Thank you." "Ladies and gentlemen, Lamar Burgess, director of the new National Precrime." "On behalf of your staff, we would like to present you with this." "Congratulations, sir." "My God." "How did you get this?" "I padded your expense account for six months." "(ALL LAUGHING)" "Revolvers like this one were given to generals at the end of the Civil War by their troops." "The cylinders were loaded with five gold-plated bullets to symbolize the end of the destruction and death that had ripped the country apart for five years." "Ladies and gentlemen, with Precrime going national, maybe we can all look forward to a time when none of us will have to discharge another firearm ever again." "(ALL CLAPPING)" "Now enjoy yourselves." "Enjoy yourselves!" "That's an order." "Does this mean we can finally use the lake house on weekends?" "I hope so." "(RINGING)" "Hello." "Yes." "Right away." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "So sorry." "Sir?" "Yes." "Sir, you have an emergency call on your private line." "All right." "Thank you." "Yes, this is Burgess." "JOHN:" "Hello, Lamar. I just wanted to congratulate you." "You did it." "You created a world without murder." "Sir, everyone wants your name on a hat." "Can you sign these for us?" "JOHN:" "And all you had to do was kill someone to do it." "(RINGING)" "A-room." "Jad." "Jad, it's Lara." "John needs a favor." "I don't know what you're talking about." "JOHN:" "I'm talking about Agatha's mother, Anne Lively." "Just a junkie who had a kid once and had to give her up." "But surprise." "She cleaned herself up and she wanted her daughter back." "She wanted Agatha." "(AGATHA GASPING)" "WALLY:" "Jad, you getting this?" "It's a single stream from the female only with no time or incident data." "Whatever this is, it isn't the future." "It already happened." "JOHN: the problem was, without Agatha, there was no Precrime." "She's always been the strongest of the three." "You knew without Agatha, you had nothing." "Without her, you wouldn't be where you are now, standing there, signing autographs." "Jad, what are you doing?" "Jad." "Jad, what are you doing with that?" "What you up to, big man?" "Jad, Jad, let's think before you send that." "Slow down." "JOHN:" "So now you had to get rid of Anne Lively." "You had to shut her up, which presented a problem." "How can you kill her without the Precogs seeing it?" "Simple." "Use a system you control against her." "So you hired someone to kill her for you, knowing full well the Precogs would see that murder." "You lured Anne Lively out to the lake with the promise of reuniting her with her daughter." "Where's my daughter?" "Where?" "Run." "Run!" "(ALL EXCLAIM)" "JOHN:" "And then, when you were all alone, you killed her yourself, in the same way the Precogs predicted your John Doe would kill her." "You made the real murder look like an echo, knowing the tech would do what he was trained to do." "Disregard it." "Anne Lively became just another missing person." "So, what are you gonna do, Lamar?" "What are you gonna do?" "(AGATHA GASPING)" "(ALARM WAILING)" "We got a Red Ball!" "Think about the lives that little girl has saved." "Think about all the lives she will save." "That little girl could have saved Sean." "(SCREAMING) Don't you ever say his name!" "You used the memory of my dead son to set me up." "You used the memory of my dead son to set me up!" "That was the one thing you knew that would drive me to murder." "What are you gonna do now, Lamar?" "What are you gonna do now, Lamar?" "How are you gonna..." "Shut me up?" "Forgive me, John." "(AGATHA GASPING)" "Forgive me, John." "(GUN FIRING)" "Lamar, it's over." "The question you have to ask is, what are you gonna do now?" "No doubt the Precogs have already seen this." "No doubt." "JOHN:" "You see the dilemma, don't you?" "If you don't kill me, Precogs were wrong and Precrime is over." "If you do kill me, you go away, but it proves the system works." "Precogs were right." "So, what are you gonna do now?" "What's it worth?" "Just one more murder." "You'll rot in hell with a halo, but people will still believe in Precrime." "All you have to do is kill me, like they said you would." "Except you know your own future, which means you can change it if you want to." "You still have a choice, Lamar, like I did." "Yes, I have a choice." "And I made it." "Forgive me, John." "(GUN FIRING)" "Forgive me." "Forgive me, my boy." "CELESTE:" "Lamar!" "JOHN:" "In 2054,the six-year Precrime experiment was abandoned." "ALL prisoners were unconditionally pardoned and released, although police departments kept watch on many of them for years to come." "Agatha and the twins were transferred to an undisclosed location, a place where they could find relief from their gifts." "A place where they could live out their lives in peace."
