1. Um, ladies and gentlemen.Copy !req
2. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you.Copy !req
3. On behalf of our 14,000 employees...Copy !req
4. I am pleased to say welcome
to E-Com-Con...Copy !req
5. the most technologically advanced,
yet socially conscious company...Copy !req
6. - on the Fortune 500.
- Yeah, right.Copy !req
7. I-In this state-of-the-art
research and development center...Copy !req
8. we're taking the next step
in computer processor evolution...Copy !req
9. and we're creating a new age
of innovation and customer service.Copy !req
10. How 'bout a new age of invading
your customers'privacy?Copy !req
11. Uh, sir, are you sure
you're on the right tour?Copy !req
12. Yeah, why don't you tell us about
that Octium IV chip you're developing?Copy !req
13. Well, the, um, Octium IV...Copy !req
14. is our latest high-speed processor.Copy !req
15. It's capable of 6.8 gigaflops.Copy !req
16. That's nearly seven billion
calculations per second.Copy !req
17. I mean, tell us the truth.Copy !req
18. How the Octium is secretly designed
to keep tabs on the users.Copy !req
19. - Patriot 1 to Patriot 2,
we're in position.Copy !req
20. It's got a tiny little modem
embedded in each processor, see?Copy !req
21. So that it can upload your files
onto the Internet...Copy !req
22. and your credit history and your tax bracket
and your Social Security number.Copy !req
23. All neatly packaged
for these robber barons.Copy !req
24. - Sir, I don't know if this is the proper forum—
- And another thing!Copy !req
25. Patriot 2.Copy !req
26. Patriot 2, we're in position.
Shut up already.Copy !req
27. Uh... is there peanuts in this?Copy !req
28. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
29. Who's your daddy?Copy !req
30. We got a man having a severe
allergic reaction here. Over.Copy !req
31. - Come on, Byers.Copy !req
32. - Um... Frohike?Copy !req
33. - Hang on tight.
- What?Copy !req
34. Whoa! Byers!Copy !req
35. I don't have winch control.
Our software's been hijacked.Copy !req
36. Take it easy. Help's on the way.Copy !req
37. What the hell is this?Copy !req
38. Whoa!Copy !req
39. You!Copy !req
40. Byers. Byers!Copy !req
41. Hey.Copy !req
42. You're making a big mistake.
That was a hearing aid.Copy !req
43. Huh? What'd you say?Copy !req
44. Where's the chip?Copy !req
45. Full body cavity search.Copy !req
46. Honest to God,
we don't have it.Copy !req
47. What we won't do
for the Constitution.Copy !req
48. Yeah, like having a roll of tape
shoved up our kazoos.Copy !req
49. At least it feels like that.Copy !req
50. We're not gonna let
this injustice stand.Copy !req
51. We've gotta stop these corporate goons
from doing to the American people...Copy !req
52. wh— what they did to us last night.Copy !req
53. - Yeah, right.
- What's the matter, Byers?Copy !req
54. We don't have the proof. Without proof,
we're nothing more than conspiracy mongers.Copy !req
55. Without proof,
all we can do is cry wolf.Copy !req
56. Don't take it personally, man.
They strip-searched all of us.Copy !req
57. Eleven years we've been putting out
this paper. Think about it.Copy !req
58. Have we made a difference? Is America
a better place to live because of our efforts?Copy !req
59. This story would have garnered
national attention.Copy !req
60. It would have forced E-Com-Con to halt
the production of the Octium chip.Copy !req
61. It would have protected the civil liberties
of millions of Americans.Copy !req
62. But without proof?Copy !req
63. We could still speculate.
We'll call it editorial commentary.Copy !req
64. For whom?Copy !req
65. Last week's issue
had a circulation of 2,824.Copy !req
66. We're preaching to the converted.Copy !req
67. Readership doesn't matter, man.
It's the impact on the black ops that counts.Copy !req
68. They read it too.
The guys at the N.S.A. and the C.I.A.?Copy !req
69. They tremble every time
we put out one of these babies.Copy !req
70. Do you think the people
at E-Com-Con are trembling?Copy !req
71. - They will if we get that chip back.
- Like that's gonna happen.Copy !req
72. E-Com-Con's already got theJustice Department
searching for the dude that snaked it from us.Copy !req
73. Only they're looking for a "he."Copy !req
74. Are you sure that man with the beard
was Yves Adele Harlow?Copy !req
75. Trust me. No guy kisses like that.Copy !req
76. - I mean, uh—Copy !req
77. I hear Harlow's a black hat,
a real heavy lifter.Copy !req
78. Industrial espionage, strictly for profit.Copy !req
79. Then she's probably already sold
the chip to the highest bidder—Copy !req
80. the Malaysians or theJapanese.Copy !req
81. - That sucks! We stole it!
What the hell are you doing?Copy !req
82. Our operation was piggy-backed.Copy !req
83. There's only one way Harlow
could know our plans.Copy !req
84. You believe she breached our security.Copy !req
85. one, two, three. You bitch!Copy !req
86. That's twice today I've been violated!
That's it, man!Copy !req
87. - Total war! Salt the earth!Copy !req
88. - Total war! Salt the earth!Copy !req
89. Lone Gunman Newspaper Group.
Byers speaking.Copy !req
90. Yes, I'm his son.Copy !req
91. Bertram R. Byers.Copy !req
92. The "R" stood for Roosevelt...Copy !req
93. which is a name fit for a true believer,
if ever I heard one.Copy !req
94. A true believer.Copy !req
95. That was Bert in the 30-odd years...Copy !req
96. that I was lucky enough
to call him a friend.Copy !req
97. He never lost his faith in government...Copy !req
98. and its abiding power to do good,
its muscular Christianity—Copy !req
99. There's enough brass here
to make a spittoon.Copy !req
100. As a civilian employee
in the air force...Copy !req
101. Bert jokingly described himself
as a plodding bureaucrat.Copy !req
102. But he never lost his love for aerospace,
his chosen profession...Copy !req
103. his true love...Copy !req
104. which is why today,
in accordance with his wishes...Copy !req
105. we commend his ashes to that
bold frontier that he loved so well.Copy !req
106. Godspeed, Bert.Copy !req
107. Would you do the honors?Copy !req
108. Five, four...Copy !req
109. three, two...Copy !req
110. one.Copy !req
111. Ignition.Copy !req
112. So you never met him?Copy !req
113. Byers and his old man
hadn't spoken since 1989.Copy !req
114. The year we started publishing?Copy !req
115. The year Byers threw away a government
pension to hang out with low-life hippie scum.Copy !req
116. At least,
that's what his old man thought.Copy !req
117. - Frohike, 12:00.
- 12:00 what?Copy !req
118. One spying, chip-stealing
little cross-dresser.Copy !req
119. - Ow!
- Oh!Copy !req
120. What are you doing?Copy !req
121. You got... soup.Copy !req
122. Next time leave the crack pipe at home.Copy !req
123. Next time leave the crack pipe at home.Copy !req
124. Hey, buddy. Nice service.Copy !req
125. Looks like your old man had
a lot of friends in high places.Copy !req
126. Maybe we can plant bugs
on a couple of'em.Copy !req
127. Or... maybe now is not the time.Copy !req
128. I'm about ready to get out of here.Copy !req
129. John. We met once years ago.Copy !req
130. - I'm Ray Helm. I worked with your father.
- Oh, Mr. Helm.Copy !req
131. Your eulogy was very nice.
Thank you.Copy !req
132. I meant every word of it. I was hoping
you and I could talk about him.Copy !req
133. I realize you hadn't
seen each other in some time.Copy !req
134. I'm just not sure
what there is to talk about.Copy !req
135. We could talk about how he died.Copy !req
136. According to the police,
his car ran off the road.Copy !req
137. Like I said,
we could talk about that.Copy !req
138. It happened here.Copy !req
139. The police ruled it a single-car accident.Copy !req
140. There were no witnesses to it,
but based on the lack of skid marks...Copy !req
141. their explanation was your father
fell asleep at the wheel...Copy !req
142. and ran off the road.Copy !req
143. But you don't believe that.Copy !req
144. You're not saying...
my father killed himself?Copy !req
145. I'm saying he was murdered.Copy !req
146. I don't know where Bert was headed.
I don't know that it mattered.Copy !req
147. Just so he was driving
a lonely stretch of road...Copy !req
148. a perfect place for an ambush.Copy !req
149. - What proof do you have of this?
- Absolutely none.Copy !req
150. Which is exactly the way
these people would manage it.Copy !req
151. The people your father and I work for.Copy !req
152. The government?Copy !req
153. But why? Why my father?Copy !req
154. He was a company man.Copy !req
155. He was a good man.
He had a conscience.Copy !req
156. - Sometimes that's a problem in our line of work.
- Meaning what?Copy !req
157. Last time I spoke to him, he was upset
about something he'd found out.Copy !req
158. - He wouldn't tell me what.
- Hold up.Copy !req
159. Somethin'-- Somethin's funky here.Copy !req
160. - You're telling us the government is behind this?
- You're the government.Copy !req
161. If you're anything like your father,
I knew you'd want to know.Copy !req
162. Hey, buddy, are you
sure you want to do this?Copy !req
163. That government guy
said there wouldn't be any
proof your dad was murdered.Copy !req
164. If he was murdered...Copy !req
165. there'd have to be a reason for it.Copy !req
166. Mr. Helm said maybe
he knew something.Copy !req
167. I want to see what's on his P.C.Copy !req
168. Whoa! Son of a—Copy !req
169. This carpet's wet.
Like it's been cleaned.Copy !req
170. Check it out.Copy !req
171. Well, the good news is there's no
annoying passwords to crack.Copy !req
172. - What's the bad news?
- There's no nothing else either.Copy !req
173. Only an operating system.Copy !req
174. Someone cleaned house, erased everything
and defragged this puppy.Copy !req
175. Try a sector editor.Copy !req
176. See if you can find
any recently deleted files.Copy !req
177. - B-I-N-G-O.Copy !req
178. Delete commands up the wazoo.Copy !req
179. - Wait. What about this one?
- Looks like a D.O.D. file.Copy !req
180. Scenario 12D.Copy !req
181. Text file.Copy !req
182. What the—Copy !req
183. Hey, Byers, Langly! Come look at this!Copy !req
184. Take a look at this.Copy !req
185. That's blood, and a lot of it.Copy !req
186. I thought your old man
died in a car crash.Copy !req
187. My father was dead
long before the crash.Copy !req
188. He was murdered here.Copy !req
189. Byers, Bertram. Blue '92 Caprice.Copy !req
190. - Yeah, we got it.
- I don't get it.Copy !req
191. You're saying somebody popped
your father in his living room...Copy !req
192. then loaded him into his car
and faked a car crash two miles away.Copy !req
193. That's a hell of a trick.
A dead man driving a car.Copy !req
194. They managed it somehow.Copy !req
195. There's gotta be evidence in the car
that the fire didn't destroy.Copy !req
196. You're Bertram Byers?Copy !req
197. Uh, yeah.Copy !req
198. Date of birth January 30, 1934?Copy !req
199. Viagra.Copy !req
200. It's over yonder.Copy !req
201. That yonder?Copy !req
202. - Hey, stop!
- Hold up!Copy !req
203. - Hey, wait! Shut it down!
- Stop!Copy !req
204. - Shut it down!
- Hang on!Copy !req
205. - Shut it down!
- Shut it down!Copy !req
206. Shut it down!Copy !req
207. - Come on! Shut it down!
- Stop! Stop!Copy !req
208. Hey! This yonder.Copy !req
209. This was your Caprice.Copy !req
210. Hope you didn't leave nothin'
in the glove box.Copy !req
211. Nice shootin'.
Have you seen Kimmy?Copy !req
212. You want some?
Try my smorgasbord.Copy !req
213. Hey! Never touch a man
with a gun in his hand.Copy !req
214. Shooting Vikings now?
That's not very sporting.Copy !req
215. What do you want, Langly?
I'm locked and loaded here.Copy !req
216. I need some help circumventing
D.O.D.'s online security codes.Copy !req
217. D.O.D.? What for?Copy !req
218. Go put your daisy
in somebody else's rifle, hippie.Copy !req
219. I gotta put some serious lead
downrange.Copy !req
220. I'm talking about
government-sanctioned murder here.Copy !req
221. Is this another one of your wacko
conspiracy theories, like who shotJ.R.?Copy !req
222. - J.F.K.
- Whatever.Copy !req
223. My point being,
you're wasting your life, man.Copy !req
224. A hacker of your caliber oughta be
floating in a Silicon Valley hot tub...Copy !req
225. sipping champers
and counting his I.P.O. cashola.Copy !req
226. Ay, Chihuahua. Who's that?Copy !req
227. Fellow hacker.
Her name's Yves Harlow.Copy !req
228. I liked you better with a beard.Copy !req
229. Where's our chip?Copy !req
230. Chip? What chip?Copy !req
231. That Octium IV's rightfully ours.
Give it the hell back.Copy !req
232. You got an Octium IV?Copy !req
233. And what did you Three Stooges
plan to do with the chip?Copy !req
234. Give it to 60 Minutes?Copy !req
235. "Expose the truth"
in your silly little rag?Copy !req
236. The American people
have a right to know.Copy !req
237. If you pimply pencil necks are the only hope
for the American people, God help us all.Copy !req
238. Come on, Langly.
Let's go do some real hacking.Copy !req
239. Find anything?Copy !req
240. Yeah, a new meaning
for the term "compact car."Copy !req
241. Boy, talk about a needle in a haystack.Copy !req
242. If there is any evidence
in this hunk of junk...Copy !req
243. we're gonna
be hard-pressed to find it.Copy !req
244. - We'll find it.
- And then what?Copy !req
245. Then you'll be happy?Copy !req
246. I'm not sure
I understand the question.Copy !req
247. What's the best thing that could come out of
this investigation, as far as you're concerned?Copy !req
248. You find out that your father was gonna
blow the whistle on the government.Copy !req
249. You find out they killed him for it.Copy !req
250. - What's your point?
- Come on, Byers.Copy !req
251. We both know you and your father
didn't see eye to eye.Copy !req
252. You're hoping you'll find out
he was someone you could respect.Copy !req
253. But what if he wasn't?Copy !req
254. My father used to talk aboutJ.F.K.
when I was a kid.Copy !req
255. Camelot...Copy !req
256. a government as good as its people...Copy !req
257. an American dream.Copy !req
258. I don't know when or why
he stopped believing in it...Copy !req
259. but those stories
made me who I am.Copy !req
260. They made me believe
in the promise of our country.Copy !req
261. Truth, justice, the American way.Copy !req
262. Someone has to expose those
that would destroy that dream.Copy !req
263. Someone has to write the stories
they don't want you to read.Copy !req
264. That's why I teamed up with you guys—
you're true believers.Copy !req
265. And I thought it was
for the chick throw-off.Copy !req
266. Look, all I'm saying is...Copy !req
267. I don't want you setting yourself up
for disappointment.Copy !req
268. I'm saying...Copy !req
269. make peace with your father
in another way.Copy !req
270. What is it?Copy !req
271. Needle in a haystack.Copy !req
272. We're in. Piece of cake.Copy !req
273. My old granny could hack this site.
Okay, where to next?Copy !req
274. Okay, Products and Logistics.
No, no, no! Wait, wait.Copy !req
275. Program Analysis and Evaluation.Copy !req
276. We're looking for any reference
to something called Scenario 12D.Copy !req
277. - We got it!
- The proverbial smoking gun.Copy !req
278. Hey, Kimmy. Slumming?Copy !req
279. He's helping me hack
into the D.O.D. mainframe.Copy !req
280. I only said yes to keep Blondie
from getting his 'nads clipped.Copy !req
281. We ran into Yves Adele Harlow
at the shooting range.Copy !req
282. I didn't want to cause a scene—
your old man and all.Copy !req
283. So what do you got?Copy !req
284. We found this in the engine compartment
of my father's car.Copy !req
285. You'll notice that none of the circuits
have factory identifier numbers.Copy !req
286. This copper zigzag looks
like an integrated antenna.Copy !req
287. Etched into the breadboard
like a cell phone. We're thinking—Copy !req
288. If this received radio signals and was clipped
at the car engine's control module—Copy !req
289. The speed of the car
could be remotely controlled.Copy !req
290. All you'd need is a handheld
radio controller to operate the car.Copy !req
291. - And make it look like a dead man was driving.
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
292. Yes! I am the king!Copy !req
293. Yes! I am the king!Copy !req
294. - Numero uno, baby! Mm-hmm!
- Find something?Copy !req
295. Yeah, I wound up in some government
think tank's upload directory.Copy !req
296. Here's your scenarios, ladies.Copy !req
297. These look like
counterterrorism scenarios, war games...Copy !req
298. developed for the Defense Department.Copy !req
299. What's Scenario 12D?Copy !req
300. Airline terrorism?
That doesn't make sense.Copy !req
301. - Your father was murdered over a war game?
- Download it.Copy !req
302. - Uh-oh.Copy !req
303. - Ix-nay on the ownload-day.
- What is it?Copy !req
304. Bogey. We've been spotted.Copy !req
305. Sir, we've got an intruder. I'm tracing.Copy !req
306. They're running some real-time intrusion
detection. Somebody knows we're in.Copy !req
307. - We should ditch.
- Keep downloading.Copy !req
308. These guys are murderers.
Give it some thought, man.Copy !req
309. I've isolated their bit stream—
D.S.L., D.C. Metro trunk.Copy !req
310. - Compromise their cookie!
- Stay with it.Copy !req
311. - They're scanning our services!
- We're almost there. Keep going.Copy !req
312. Come on board.
Scanning for vitals.Copy !req
313. - I'm bailing! They're scanning our file system!
- We need that file.Copy !req
314. Here we go. Address data file.Copy !req
315. Oh, my God. They found the data file.
They're gonna get our address!Copy !req
316. - They'll be busting through our door!
- Keep downloading.Copy !req
317. - Frohike, we almost had it.
- We almost had our asses fried.Copy !req
318. - My father died for that file.
- Exactly.Copy !req
319. Use your head.Copy !req
320. - Lost 'em.Copy !req
321. Sorry, sir.Copy !req
322. I know who they are.Copy !req
323. What do you say we call it a night, Byers?Copy !req
324. Ah, it's too late for that.
The sun just came up.Copy !req
325. Come on, Byers.Copy !req
326. I'll buy you a Grand Slam.Copy !req
327. - It just doesn't make sense.
- What doesn't make sense?Copy !req
328. The blood in my father's house.Copy !req
329. Buddy, we've been through this.Copy !req
330. - They shot him.
- But why?Copy !req
331. Why go to the trouble
of faking a car accident...Copy !req
332. so perfectly, so convincingly...Copy !req
333. when you're starting with a body
that's got a bullet hole in it?Copy !req
334. Maybe your dad put up a fight.Copy !req
335. Maybe it wasn't his blood.Copy !req
336. You found something.Copy !req
337. Proof.Copy !req
338. Of what?Copy !req
339. - My father wasn't murdered.
- But not for lack of trying.Copy !req
340. I don't understand.
Are you saying it was an accident?Copy !req
341. We're saying he's not dead.Copy !req
342. It starts with a bloodstain
we found in my father's house.Copy !req
343. - We've had it tested. The blood wasn't his.
- Whose was it?Copy !req
344. His would-be assassin, a professional sent
to make his death look like an accident.Copy !req
345. The carpet in the living room
had been freshly shampooed.Copy !req
346. We assumed it was to get rid
of the blood evidence.Copy !req
347. It was, the second time.Copy !req
348. He shot himself?Copy !req
349. - Some professional.
- Hey, government contractor.Copy !req
350. In the aftermath, Dad
realized he was in danger.Copy !req
351. I imagine his first impulse
was to run.Copy !req
352. But then he started
to piece together the larger plan.Copy !req
353. He found
the remote control that the
assassin had attached to his car.Copy !req
354. Someone was going to great lengths...Copy !req
355. to fake his death in a car accident...Copy !req
356. to murder him
without arousing suspicion.Copy !req
357. So he came up with his own plan.Copy !req
358. Dad knew whoever would go to such lengths
would only stop ifhe were dead...Copy !req
359. so he made it look like he was.Copy !req
360. But what reason did they
have to kill your father?Copy !req
361. What were they trying to hide?Copy !req
362. Something called Scenario 12D.Copy !req
363. We have to find Bert.
He can tell us everything we need to know.Copy !req
364. We don't know where he is.
We gotta find out what Scenario 12D is.Copy !req
365. That's why we need your help,
as a government muckety-muck.Copy !req
366. We need your password
to get past online security.Copy !req
367. What is it?Copy !req
368. Overlord.Copy !req
369. - Cool.
- Whatever I can do to help.Copy !req
370. Good.Copy !req
371. I'll catch up with you later.Copy !req
372. Why is he so bummed?
His dad's alive.Copy !req
373. Yeah, but he may never see him again.Copy !req
374. John.Copy !req
375. Dad.Copy !req
376. What the hell are you doing? Why can't you
stay out of this? Leave me buried.Copy !req
377. What is Scenario 12D?Copy !req
378. We know it's a war-game scenario...Copy !req
379. that it has to do with
airline counterterrorism.Copy !req
380. Why is it important enough to kill for?Copy !req
381. Because it's no longer a game.Copy !req
382. But if some terrorist group
wants to act out this scenario...Copy !req
383. why target you for assassination?Copy !req
384. Depends on who your terrorists are.Copy !req
385. The men who conceived of it
in the first place.Copy !req
386. You're saying our government plans to commit
a terrorist act against a domestic airline—Copy !req
387. There you go, indicting
the entire government as usual.Copy !req
388. - It's a faction, a small faction.
- For what possible gain?Copy !req
389. The cold war's over, John...Copy !req
390. but with no clear enemy to stockpile against,
the arms market's flat.Copy !req
391. But bring down a fully loaded 727
into the middle of New York City...Copy !req
392. and you'll find a dozen tin-pot dictators
all over the world...Copy !req
393. just clamoring to take responsibility...Copy !req
394. and begging to be smart-bombed.Copy !req
395. I can't believe it.
This is about increasing arms sales.Copy !req
396. - Mm-hmm.
- When?Copy !req
397. - Tonight.
- How are you gonna stop them?Copy !req
398. Why didn't you tell the world this?
Go to the press.Copy !req
399. You think I'd still be drawing breath
30 minutes after I made that call?Copy !req
400. - The press? Who's gonna run this story?
- We would.Copy !req
401. This?Copy !req
402. This is bird cage liner.Copy !req
403. Wild-eyed crap, right up there with
"Elvis is an alien'and two-headed babies.Copy !req
404. - You obviously read it.
- Don't be so damn naive.Copy !req
405. You think this is gonna save the world?Copy !req
406. I'm doing what I can, John.Copy !req
407. I don't have all the specifics on Scenario 12D,
but I think I know the flight they've chosen.Copy !req
408. You stay out of it.Copy !req
409. I don't want Overlord
gunning for you too.Copy !req
410. Feeling better?Copy !req
411. We're on the job here.
I think we're making some real headway.Copy !req
412. Hey, buddy. Are you okay?Copy !req
413. I just saw my father.Copy !req
414. - Where?
- At his house.Copy !req
415. - He's there now.
- What did he say?Copy !req
416. After he hit me? He told me to stay away
from him, not to get involved.Copy !req
417. - I gotta get over there.
- Mr. Helm.Copy !req
418. Be careful.
He doesn't trust you either.Copy !req
419. He thinks you were somehow involved
in the attempt on his life.Copy !req
420. - What the hell are you doing?Copy !req
421. What if Helm is involved?
What if he's using us to get to your father?Copy !req
422. - You might have ratted out on your dad.
- That was their plan.Copy !req
423. Put the son in danger,
and you flush the father out of hiding.Copy !req
424. We had a couple of portable
hydrocarbon sniffers. Where are they?Copy !req
425. What? Byers!Copy !req
426. - Somebody get that.Copy !req
427. Let him in before somebody sees him.Copy !req
428. Hiya.Copy !req
429. Congrats on not being dead.Copy !req
430. Oh, the day is young.Copy !req
431. Byers, you wanna clue us in?Copy !req
432. We got a plane to catch.Copy !req
433. Atlantic National announces...Copy !req
434. their final boarding call
for Flight 265.Copy !req
435. Do you see anyone you recognize?Copy !req
436. No, but that doesn't mean
they're not around.Copy !req
437. Okay, let's board, check the cabin
for free hydrocarbons...Copy !req
438. try and pinpoint that bomb.Copy !req
439. This is your plan? I still think
we should call in a bomb threat.Copy !req
440. Let the F.B.I. deal with this.Copy !req
441. You said yourself we don't know
the full extent of this conspiracy.Copy !req
442. We can't trust any government official.Copy !req
443. Our only hope is to get on that plane.Copy !req
444. They're boarding.Copy !req
445. Then that's two problems solved.Copy !req
446. - Find anything?
- The luggage hold's clear,
if this thing can be trusted.Copy !req
447. What'd you do,
make it with your erector set?Copy !req
448. You're absolutely sure
that this is the targeted flight?Copy !req
449. This flight was chosen
primarily for its visibility.Copy !req
450. It's scheduled to pass over Manhattan
on its way to Boston.Copy !req
451. You said they intend to bring this down
in the middle of New York City?Copy !req
452. Shh.Copy !req
453. What if there is no bomb?Copy !req
454. Well, how are they gonna bring it down?Copy !req
455. The same way a dead man
can drive a car.Copy !req
456. What do you mean, no bomb?Copy !req
457. Langly, I need you to hack into
the aircraft's on board navigation system.Copy !req
458. - We need to know where we're headed.
- Okay. Going to headsets.Copy !req
459. - I'll call in the air phone's carrier...Copy !req
460. make them think we're sending
a ground-to-air fax.Copy !req
461. - That's one twisted star-69.
- Get ready to ride the wave, hippie boy.Copy !req
462. - Get me on that plane,
and I'll get you autopilot access.
- How you gonna do that?Copy !req
463. Airline telemetry systems use processors
similar to those found in C.B. radios.Copy !req
464. I'm in. We got ourselves a convoy.Copy !req
465. - What's your
progress? -I've hacked into
the flight control system output.Copy !req
466. With a little bit of help.Copy !req
467. It's what the brains of the plane
is telling the little black box.Copy !req
468. Course heading, attitude hold,
yaw axis stabilization. Wha—Copy !req
469. What the heck's that?Copy !req
470. - Is that what it looks like?
- I think it is what it looks like.Copy !req
471. - What does what look like?
- Modem protocol.Copy !req
472. Remote access.
Somebody on the ground's flying your plane.Copy !req
473. - Bogey, sir.
- Keep your course.Copy !req
474. I need to know our flight plan.Copy !req
475. I'm mapping the data now.Copy !req
476. Byers, your flight's gonna make
an unscheduled stop in exactly 22 minutes.Copy !req
477. Corner of Liberty and Washington...Copy !req
478. Lower Manhattan.Copy !req
479. World Trade Center.Copy !req
480. They're going to crash the plane
into the World Trade Center.Copy !req
481. I'll tell the flight crew.Copy !req
482. - Langly, can you override
the flight control system?
- I'm working on it.Copy !req
483. - What is this?
- My name is Bert Byers.
I work for the government.Copy !req
484. I believe this plane
has been commandeered.Copy !req
485. Sir, passengers are not allowed
in the cockpit. Return to your seat now.Copy !req
486. You don't have control of this plane,
and I don't know if we can get it back.Copy !req
487. Turn off your autopilot.
There may be a chance we can override it.Copy !req
488. Sir, I'll be happy to contact
your superiors in the government—Copy !req
489. Sir! Damn it!Copy !req
490. He's right.Copy !req
491. Damn it! Frozen again.Copy !req
492. They've encrypted
the manual override commands.Copy !req
493. - Well, decrypt them.
- I don't have enough power.Copy !req
494. - My C.P.U.'s are pegged.
- Langly, what's happening?Copy !req
495. - I'll try decrypting in background mode.
- How long will that take?Copy !req
496. In my counts per sec...Copy !req
497. I estimate seven to 10 days.Copy !req
498. Oh.Copy !req
499. Needless to say—Copy !req
500. Our asses are fried.Copy !req
501. - Where are you going?
- To unfry us.Copy !req
502. Damn it!Copy !req
503. I need that chip, Yves.Copy !req
504. Melvin. I knew you'd come begging
sooner or later.Copy !req
505. Lay off the "Melvin" crap. I need some
serious gigaflops, and I need them now.Copy !req
506. What I hear, some guy
with a beard took that chip.Copy !req
507. Those were a woman's lips I kissed.Copy !req
508. Like you ever kissed a girl before.Copy !req
509. I don't have time for this.Copy !req
510. You gonna take it away from me?Copy !req
511. Give us the chip, Yves, or you'll be sacrificing
the lives of hundreds of people...Copy !req
512. including Byers and his father.Copy !req
513. - I'm crying.
- Yeah, you're one real tough cookie.Copy !req
514. How much are you gonna enjoy spending
the millions you make selling that chip...Copy !req
515. when you realize
it's been paid for in blood?Copy !req
516. - I guess you don't know me.
- Well, maybe I do, Lee Harvey Oswald.Copy !req
517. Your name, Yves Adele Harlow,
is an anagram of Lee Harvey Oswald.Copy !req
518. Some joke.Copy !req
519. I know who you really are, sugar...Copy !req
520. and I can tell the world
in my "silly little rag."Copy !req
521. All right.
Try cutting electrical power.Copy !req
522. They've thought of that.
They've thought of everything.Copy !req
523. Ladies and gentlemen,
this is your captain speaking.Copy !req
524. We're experiencing some,
uh, technical difficulties up here.Copy !req
525. At this time we'd like you all
to return to your seats.Copy !req
526. And kiss your asses good-bye.Copy !req
527. - Langly, we're getting close.
- I know. I know.Copy !req
528. Damn it!Copy !req
529. N.Y. Center, this is Atlantic
National Flight 265 heavy.Copy !req
530. We are declaring an emergency.Copy !req
531. We have 110 souls on board,
16,000 pounds of fuel...Copy !req
532. and no dangerous goods
or cargo to report.Copy !req
533. Come on, Frohike.Copy !req
534. Your friends have failed, haven't they?Copy !req
535. There's still hope.Copy !req
536. Hope my next turnout
is as nice as my last one.Copy !req
537. B-I-N-G-O.Copy !req
538. - We've got manual override.Copy !req
539. If we can't get to the F.B.I.,
we'll go public.Copy !req
540. With your testimony, we can break
this conspiracy wide open...Copy !req
541. bring Overlord down.Copy !req
542. The whole operation—Copy !req
543. Dad.Copy !req
544. What is it?Copy !req
545. God, I see myself in you.Copy !req
546. The same youthful enthusiasm,
idealism.Copy !req
547. I was so angry at you for so long...Copy !req
548. because I didn't want you
to waste your life tilting at windmills.Copy !req
549. But I— I see now
that you've got something...Copy !req
550. I never had.Copy !req
551. You're a brave man, John.Copy !req
552. You're not going to testify.
You're going to let them cover this up.Copy !req
553. They almost killed me twice.Copy !req
554. They won't fail a third time.Copy !req
555. My silence will keep me alive...Copy !req
556. and you.Copy !req
557. I know you and your friends...Copy !req
558. are fighting for the American dream.Copy !req
559. Just don't expect to win.Copy !req
560. We're going with this then?Copy !req
561. We can't do it.
We don't have the proof.Copy !req
562. Then we don't have a lead story
for this week's issue.Copy !req
563. Yeah, we do.Copy !req
564. Well, we certainly don't
have proof of that.Copy !req
565. Your pistol-packing
bearded lady has it, remember?Copy !req
566. Yeah?
Well, turnabout's fair play.Copy !req
567. - How the hell'd you get that?
- Hey.Copy !req
568. Once you've had
a little taste of Frohike—Copy !req
569. Okay. I grabbed it. I ran.Copy !req
570. Well, we got a story to write.Copy !req
571. - I made this!Copy !req
