"There is no question in my mind." "The decision came down 5 to 4" "That the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the use of surrogates in daily life." "Right now, we are witnessing an event" "That is of an evolutionary significance 7 years ago" "According to VSI, the industries leading manufacturer, over 98% of world population uses a surrogate in all facets of their daily life" "We're in the midst of profound changes that are things that were once unimaginable have become inevitable" "Since the global embrace of surrogacy crime rates have dropped to record lows" "We have witnessed and incredible reduction in violent crime communicable disease and discrimination."

"No, that's just it, no calls, no nothin'" "Come on." "Let's go talk to our operator." "Cam?" "Maybe nobody's home." "My Surries in for an upgrade and they gave me this crappy loaner." "Could you?" "Certainly." "Cam?" "Cam's a good tenant you know, pays the rent on time, never leaves the apartment." "Cam?" "Cam?" "Oh my God!" "Don't touch anything, please." "I'll call it in." " You're sure this is Cameron McAllister?" " Yes!" "This is Agent Peters, we tracked down the operator." "Yeah" "Better send a coroner" "Connection interrupted."

"It's a piece of every surrogate they sell." "Dr. Canter?" "That's right." "You're with the FBI?" "Yes we are." "This way." "I can't help but notice the similarities between your surrogate... and the one your son Jared was using." "I never really knew Jarid as a child." "He grew up with his mother in California Who kept him from me." "When he went to college I encourage him to borrow my surrogates whenever he wanted." "How did you managed to do that?" "A Surrie has to be coded to your neural signature." "I am not exactly your average VSI consumer." "This was just a way for me to spend time with my son." "It's a felony to inhabit a surrogate registered to another operator." "No offense Dr. Canter." "We're just trying to straighten out our facts." "What is this?" " Some kind of Good Cop, Bad Cop routine?" " No sir." " You tryin' to handle me?" " No sir." "Because I'm not going to be handled." "Dr Canter..." " I know how you must feel." " Do you?" "Yes, sir."

" Hope you don't mind if we sit in." "Not at all." "The two of you might be interested in a free software upgrade we're offering all law enforcement officials." "Better night vision." "Improved pursuit capability." "You have any idea how a surrogates head would explode from the inside?" "Mr. Welsh isn't qualified to answer that question." "What do the operators say?" "Not much." "They're dead." "If you're trying to imply a link between VSI products and an operators accidental death..." "I'm not implying anything." "I just want to know how an operator can be killed by signals from it's surrogate." "This idea itself is absurd." "If it were possible it would defeat the entire purpose of surrogacy." "Surries have jumped from bridges..." "Been shot...." "Even... blown to bits without the least bit of harm to their operators." "The failsafes always kick in." "I can assure you VSI's products have the most stringent safety standards in the industry." "What about a human head?" "What would cause one of them to blow up?" "Agent Greer..." "We're not doctors."

"Yes sir!" "Back online." "Follow me." " Keep an eye on Bravo Company." " Go kick some ass sir!" "Agent Greer you're wasting your time with these questions." "Why on earth would the Defense Department want to develop a weapon that could wipe out our own troops?" "So no such weapon exists..." "If it did, I'd know about it." "And the soldier that we saw?" "We routinely remove motherboards and optics for analysis." "Now if you'll excuse me." "I've got to move a Peace Keeping operation." " Check your screen" " What?" "Myles Strickland." "Who?" "Myles Strickland, beat that!" "I did a run on criminal records" "Guess what I found?" "He's already in the system." "He was arrested a month ago for multiple counts of armed robbery."

"Thanks Jerry." "He's one of our best watchers." "He's semi-retired." "So he gets to work out of his beach house in Maine." " Pretty sweet huh?" " Yeah, it's a nice setup you have here." "Yeah, we can access every Surrie on the grid here." "Touch a button." "I can tap into anyone's feed." "It's kinda like being inside Gods head." "Ooooooh Boy..." "I felt that one coming." "My name's Saunders by the way." "Jennifer Peters." "Yeah..." "Yeah you are aren't you?" " Can I ask you a question?" " Hmmm?" "Why no surrogate?" "Me?" "They've been trying to puppet me for years." "But they ain't built a machine that can handle this big puppy yet." "Excuse me a second..." "We have an assault and battery in progress." "I need warrants to shut them down immediately." "Charlie 4639er." "Sierra 7855" "Let's see if they have a security camera in the hotel..." "Looks like there is one." "Warrant recieved." "Agent Peters..." "Watch this." "Boom." "Boom." "Since when have you been able to cut off operators?" "It's brand new software." "I call it buffering." "Let's me disconnect anyone from their surrogate." "Well that can't be legal?" "Ahhh..." "It's a grey area." "They don't ask, we don't tell." "It's pretty cool huh?" "Relax, we're the good guys."

"Oh you're kidding!" "God." "Tom?" "Oh my God!" "Call an ambulance!" "Myles Strickland is it?" "Why are you..." "What's goin' on?" "Who was it?" "Who gave you the weapon?" "And paid you to use it?" "I don't know!" "Myles you can't lie to me." "I'm not lyin'." "I swear to God sir, I'm not lying." "He never told me his name." "We talked on disposable cell phones." "I never saw his face."

"You just get a court order..." "There won't be any court orders, you've been suspended." "For what?" " Tom, you violated our treaty with the Dreads." " Forget the Treaty!" "He killed 5 cops!" "Look..." "I'm gonna take care of this case myself personally." "Alright?" "Now..." "I'm afraid the bureau won't be able to supply you with a new surrogate until after the official inquiry." "Same goes for your gun and your badge." "Don't think about this now." "He killed 5 cops Andy." "Take some time to heal." "Hey." " Hey." " Sorry I'm late." "That's ok." "Wow..." "You look a lot like your synth." "Yeah" "Should we go?" "How long has it been since you've been out without a Surrie?" "I can't even remember." "I can't believe they didn't give you something for the axiety." "Greer?" " Look..." "This isn't gonna work." " I'm fine." "I have an idea." "Come on..." "This is a really bad idea..." "It's gonna be alright." "I'm sure we'll find you something decent." "Now we're gonna have you back on your feet in a sec." "Sync looks good." "It's responding well to signal, right?"

"Tom you can't come out here by yourself." "It's not safe." " I'm fine." " Let me take you home." "I'm not going home." "Tom." "We gotta forget the case." "Stone is going to run things his way and as far as we're concerned, it's over." "It's not over until we get that weapon back." "Then you gotta let me help you." "I'm not gonna let you win."

"You and everybody else bud, no." "You some kind of cop or somethin'?" "You have no jurisdiction here." "Can I talk to you about Myles Strickland please?" "Enough." "It's different when you actually feel the pain." "Isn't it?" "What happened to Strickland?" "Was he a friend of yours?" "He had a weapon." "A very dangerous weapon." "My people will do anything to get this back." "Well... if I happen to come across such a weapon" "I promise to have it delivered to your door." "Show him to the gates." "Gently." "Agent Greer."

"How long have you been following me?" "Long enough to know you're getting nowhere solving my sons murder." "You lost a child Agent Greer?" "How?" "Car accident." "It was just an accident." "I'm sorry." "I can think of no worse tragedy than a parent outliving a child." "All I can tell you is that the man who killed your son is dead." "His name was Myles Strickland." "Lived on the Res'." "He was killed by his own people." "And that's it?" "Case solved?" "One man didn't act on his own." "Whatever killed my son was an extraordinary sophisticated technology." "Far beyond the capabilites of the Dreads." "We're talking about a billion dollar weapons project." "Who do you know spends money like that?" "Focus on the weapon, where it came from." "Mmmm do me." "How was it?" " Hey Maggie?" " No, thank you." "Come on... it'll take the edge off." "Tom?" "Honey?" "I thought you were still in the hospital?" "Yeah..." "I can see that." "What happened?"

"This is out of your hands." "Military will handle this." " You called for us?" " Take this to the federal building downtown." "A woman will meet you there." "Agent Jennifer Peters." "You're to give it to her... and her alone." "Peters." "What are you doing?" "Just a background check on VSI." "Structural stuff." "Those are internal financial records." "Talk to Jenkins in corporate." "6th Floor." "Don't forget the cheek bones." "Okay, honey." "Face off." "Maggs." "Hiya Tom." "Those ugh..." "Smile muscles need to set." " Hey." " Hi." "I'm sorry about last night." "I'm at work Tom." " I didn't come here to argue." " Good." "See I feel like I've gone crazy." "It's..." "I just..." "I love you." "I love this smart, beautiful" "Intelligent, funny" "Woman..." "And..." "I can't sleep." "And when I do..." "I have these dreams that are..." "And I can't stop thinking about him." "Tom... don't..." "Don't you ever think about him?" "Of course I think about him Tom." "You say you don't sleep?" "You say you have nightmares?" "That girl who you say is funny and charming and whitty..." "And has a great smile..." "she doesn't smile anymore." "I don't believe that." "The only reason I can get up in the morning and get out of the house" "Is because THIS is who I am now."

" Cease fire!" " Hands on your head." " Cease fire." "My God." "I couldn't figure out why the cops let Strickland off." "So I started going through the payroll records." "You won't believe this." " For the last 16 months..." " He was working for us." "That's right." "Which means Stones gotta be dirty." "Looks like he hired Strickland to kill Canter." "Hey Tom." "I thought you were on leave?" "Oh yeah..." "I am." "Actually I was just suspended." "Another investigation, I'll just clear my desk out." "You should be home." "Recuperating Ok?" "Not walking around here in the flesh..." "I was at home then I came here to clean out my desk." "And you know... before the medication kicks in..." "Hopefully..." "I can find a box..." "And..." "Oh..." "Victor Welsh wanted me to say hello." "I'm sorry?" "Victor Welsh, VSI, the good looking kid?" "Very excited you coming over there, finally moving into the private sector" "You must be excited." "Why don't you come into my office, you're not looking too sharp." "Yeah Yeah..." "I got a minute." "It's a good move for you." "It's a really good group over there." "Smart." "Talented." "Great legal department." "Great working environment." "You gotta be happy with those first year stock options huh?" "What are you talkin' about?" "Myles Strickland, the guy I was chasing..." "The guy you hired to kill Canter." " Tom you got it all wrong." " You gave him the weapon." "VSI makes them." "They give one to you, you give it to Strickland so he can go out and kill Canter." "The only problem is, he killed his son by mistake." " Something is wrong with you." " Why are you doing this?" "Money?" "Is that what it is?" "You need help." "This is Stone." "That son of a bitch Greer disabled my unit!" "Stop him!" "Go..." "Go!" "Jesus." "No wonder VSI wants Canter dead." "He's in bed with The Prophet." "He's funding the Anti-Surrogacy Movement." "He's given them names." "Crazy bastard invents surragotes and does everything he can to destroy them." "It doesn't connect Stone to the murder." "We need to link him to the weapon." "He needed codes to use it." "I want you to look for access codes." "You get the codes..." "You nail Stone." "Good job Agent Greer." "Thank you." "This is Agent Peters." "I found Greer." "He's been in an accident at Market and Hanover." " FBI!" " Get out of the car!" "He's gone." "Scanning for identity chip." "He doesn't have one, he's a meatbag!" "There's and exit in the back!" "Hey!" "Where you going?" "!" "HEY!" "Bobby it's Greer." "I need a remote shutdown." "Agent Peters has been hijacked." "You gotta disconnect her." "Bobby?" "Hello Bobby?" "Peters." "Have you gone insane?" "Why don't you put the gun down?" "huh?" "What are you trying to prove?" "She's grabbing into the entire 3rd network!" "Maggie get offline right away, as soon as you get this message." "Something is going to happen to the surrogates." " She'll only speak to you sir." " Why don't you just move in and take her down huh?" "She has a human hostage." "Uh... the slob Saunders..." "Peters?" "Peters it's me Andy Stone." "That's far enough Stone." "I know who hired you to kill me." "I hope my old partners at VSI paid you well." "Did you feel even a second of remorse when you found out you murdered an innocent boy?" "Canter?" "I don't believe it." "Ok..." "How about you tell me something Doctor." "Huh?" "What did you expect VSI to do?" "Just stand by while you tore down everything they built?" "You left us no choice but to take you out." "You created the technology, you changed the world and now want to destroy it?" "So what?" "So you can take us backwards?" "So we can all live like Dreads?" "So we can live like human beings." "Really Doctor?" "You should learn how to live with your regrets." "Now give me the gun." "That's for my son." "I need to see your boss." "I need to see Dr. Canter right away!" "Oh good..." "Listen to me..." "I gotta to see your boss." "Dr. Canter he..." "Device connected." "Over here officers, this way." "Warning!" "Commencing Upload." "Hello Tom." "Nice to finally meet you." "In the flesh." "Now..." "Lie on the floor, face down." "It's a little different when you have to kill somebody with your own hands." "You're going to have to squeeze the trigger." "You don't have a machine to do your dirty work." "Feel that?" "An accelerated pulse, the heightened awareness..." "Savouring each breath as if it were your last." "That what you've been missing." "That's what everbodys been missing." " So you kill millions of people?" " I changed the course of human history when I invented surrogates." "Now I'm going to change it back." "You can't change what's been done." "You and I know that better than most people." "My son's death will not have been in vain." "Not if it heals mankind." "Heals mankind?" "That what you want to do?" "You want to kill everyone?" " And that's going to heal mankind?" " They're already dead." "They died the minute they plugged into those machines." "This is not the solution." " That's the way it is." " That's not the way it is!" "I had a vision." "I was going to empower the powerless." "To enable other like me to walk, to feel." " To live a normal life." " Listen to me!" "They're going to call you a murderer!" "That is what you're doing!" "Surrogacy is a perversion." "It's an addiction." "And you have to kill the addict to kill the addiction." "Upload Complete." "You're too late." "What I've done can't be stopped." "Now you're going to be witness to the rebirth of humanity." "That's my gift to you." "No!" "NO!" "Selecting All Surrogates." "How do we make it stop?" "Bobby it's Greer." "Tom Greer." "How do we shut this thing down?" "All Database Selected." "Jesus..." "He's trying to kill everyone." "Listen..." "That thing has just uploaded a virus into the system that's going to kill anyone who's using a surrogate." "It's already started." "Bobby we need to unplug everyone..." "Now!" "Think!" "Uh...." "Uh...." "I..." "Ok..." "Move over to the terminal on the left!" "RED253" "We can't unplug them but maybe we can buffer the operators." "Oh God..." "Ok... we've got 10 seconds!" "Ok look... there are three passes." "Type in Tango in the first." "Xray in the second." "772 in the third." "Hit Enter." "HIT ENTER!" "What happe..." "Ah.." "Shit!" "SHIFT and Enter!" "SHIFT and Enter!" "Uh..." "Ah..." "Uh..." "You just saved about billion lives there." "Ok..." "Now we gotta keep the surrogates from getting fried." "Please go back to the first terminal hit the Enter key." "Hit the Enter key please!" "Good..." "Now press Yes." "So that's it?" "Everyone's safe?" " What?" " All the people?" "Yes..." "Yes..." "Of course yes." "All the operators are safe." "But if you don't press abort, all the surrogates are going to be destroyed." "We don't have a lot of time man..." "Hit Yes." "Hi?" "Hello?" "Hit Yes Greer!" "Greer I'm talking about ALL the surrogates!" "Wha..." "What are you doing?" "Greer?" "!" "For God's sakes what are you waiting for?" "!" "Press the friggin' button damnit!" "Freeze!" "Transmit Complete." "Excuse me." "Bare with us as we're still trying to piece together exactly what has occured today" "There has been a total systems failure of the central surrogate grid" "In every major city on the eastern seaboard, possibly in the entire United States describing an identical failure in those cities this is unbelievable no reports of human casualties the damage appears limited only to surrogate units thus far, no statements from VSI." "They have not responded to requests for information Paris, London, Beijing all reporting the same thing there is still no official word when or if surrogate services can be restored." "It appears, at least for now, that we are on our own."
