.
Do I know you? Mr.
Smith? Who are you? Rob Coulter, Argon Security.
This concerns the remote viewing program at Mount Garnet.
I've been told to tell you I'm part of "Operation Prime Target".
Do you know this young woman? just saw her a few minutes ago for the first time .
There was two people inside who were trying to shoot her.
Yeah.
They're with me.
They probably just saved your life.
We need to get you to a secure location immediately.
Look, I'm in the middle of my son's birthday party.
Going back inside can endanger everyone there, Mr.
Smith.
This woman's name is Gibson, - and we believe she's trying to kill you.
- What? She's already murdered three psychics from the program, including a friend of yours.
Sylvia Tesich.
- Sylvia's dead? - Yes.
Gibson kidnapped her and robbed her of classified information.
She left her to die after crashing the car they were in.
Now, why don't you let us escort you home? Why do I get the feeling "no" is not an option here.
- Did you find him? - I looked everywhere.
- Do you think there's anything wrong? - Who knows? He could have freaked out by all the kids.
Ok, J.
J, it's time to light the candles.
Can we wait for Johnny? He's not answering.
Ok, we'll give him a few more minutes, alright? That girl was just here.
Sweep the house inside and out! - Is that my house? - Yes it is.
We're using your existing security assets to assist in your protection.
You tapped in my system? How does that work? - Sorry, that's classified.
- Hold on a minute.
You've got total access to my home security cameras, but I'm not allowed to know how? - Seems very "1984.
" doesn't it? - "1984" was twenty years ago, Mr.
Smith.
Surely it's worth sacrificing a little privacy to feel safe.
You installed this equipment for your protection and that's what it's doing: it's protecting you.
Take a look at this.
This shows that the intrusion.
.
was less than twenty minutes ago She shut down your system and re-started it before she exited three minutes later.
Excuse me.
Coulter.
.
No sir we don't have the girl.
But she can't have gotten far.
You let her get to Smith once already.
I have my men searching the area, and I'm with Mr.
Smith right now.
He's secure.
You've got forty-eight hours until the senate hearing to wrap this up.
Find the girl.
Find Neal Pynchon.
And keep Johnny Smith under lock and key.
Understood? Understood.
For your protection, we're going to keep you under surveillance.
We believe that Gibson may try again, and we want to be waiting for.
Why is she after me? We believe she was a sleeper agent who infiltrated the remote viewing program.
A "sleeper agent"? I live on Cecil Green Park Drive, 6200 block, and there's two suspicious people parked in a car in front of my house.
From where? At this point, her handlers and their motives are unknown.
She didn't exactly strike me as a killer.
Okay, I have possible burglars at 6200 block of Cecil Green Park.
May I have your name please? She seemed really scared.
Looks can be deceiving This was recorded two days ago.
It clearly shows Gibson fleeing the scene of the accident.
What the police doing here? Excuse me a minute.
"The Star" No! What is it? Find Johnny Smith.
Go Walt.
The car is full of spy stuff.
- Listen officier.
- Nice staff.
I have legal authority.
You're interfering with an on-going investigation.
You're in Penobscot County.
I'm the legal authority here.
Where John Smith goes, he attracts all kinds of trouble.
We're not going anywhere until we talk to him.
Fine.
Let's go talk to him.
Fine.
Allo, Good afternoon, Mr.
Smith, this is Bonnie at Wind-n-Sea.
Did you get the free certificate we left for you? What can I do for you Bonnie? Just give me a few moments of your time, Mr.
Smith.
It's important.
I need your help.
They're trying to kill me.
Please.
Stolen car? Fasten your seat belt.
Hey John? John? Mr.
Smith! Sheriff ? What are you doing ? Sheriff - As we say in Maine, let's go for a ride My computer sheriff.
Now you want your computer.
Alright, let's go.
Look no one's following.
We can slow down anytime now.
Just because there's no black sedan behind us doesn't mean we're not being followed.
We need to find someplace to talk.
Someplace with no security cameras.
Oh? I know a spot.
Take a right here.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!Hey! They can track us with that.
Argon doesn't screw around.
I just got that phone.
Had a camera in it too.
A camera.
Well that's great.
Why don't you just draw a freakin' map? Listen, for the foreseeable future, you and me are gonna be using low tech means of communication.
Low tech.
Like tarot cards? - Did you get anything off it? - Yeah, I saw the crash.
So, what happened to her.
She said you were the best.
That truck came out of nowhere.
He just blew a red light.
No no no, the light was green both ways and guy, Coulter, he had pictures of whole thing.
It wasn't an accident, it was supposed to look like one.
UhBastards.
Just when you think you're too paranoid you realize you aren't paranoid enough.
Yes, dispatch, this is Bannerman.
We hear anything on those I.
D.
confirmations ? Negative.
Still no response.
So Mr.
Coulter, looks like nobody wants to claim you.
Sure you'll hear from them soon enough.
I really hope we get to confiscate all this stuff.
We'll nice use some new computers around the office.
I thought Argon did home security.
We also work for the Department of Defense.
And what does all this have to do with Johnny Smith? Well until you came along, we were protecting him.
Protecting him from what? That's classified.
That's beautyful, I not surprised.
Do you hear that? What hell is all this ? I believe that would be the confirmation you're looking for sure.
Sheriff, you won't believe the phone call I just got Oh, I believe it.
So this is where the locals party? Same as when I was in high school.
Trust me, there's no surveillance up here.
So, well, start at the beginning.
How do you get involved in the program? I have this thing with numbers.
That's how I got into your house.
I talked to you on the phone for a couple of minute and.
.
all your numbers just flowed into my head see.
- That's my social security number.
- And your pin, your alarm code, your ebay password.
It's pretty impressive.
You see visions, I see numbers.
Everywhere I go, all the time.
The only way I can get them out of my head is to write them down.
- Weird, huh? - No, not to me So why is Argon after you? A few months ago, Argon got the contract to run the remote viewing program for the Defense Department.
Next thing you know, we're all assigned to a double blind test against their new top secret system.
- Eyetrap.
- What's that? Some kind of monster intelligence gathering program.
That must be what Coulter was hooked up to.
Oh, yeah yeah.
Instant access.
24/7 Like a total end to personal privacy.
Yeah that's exactly what Neal said.
Neal Pynchon.
The guy who designed it.
He called it a tracking filter.
It can link up security videos, satellite feeds, phone taps facial recognition software, and wrap a lot up into a giant digital burrito.
- And what was it supposed to do? - Catch bad guys.
Help law enforcement communicate better.
But then Neal got spooked, he started thinking the powers that be were using his baby for something other than its intended purpose.
So he asked a couple of the psychics to remote-view our new boss at Argon this guy named Scanlon.
Any idea what they saw? No.
The next thing I knew, two of the psychics were dead and Neal was in the wind.
What do you need me to do? Help me find Neal Pynchon.
Before they do.
Anything? - Young guy, playing darts in a bar in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah yeah, that's him, that's Neal.
- So he's alright then? - Can't say.
I just saw him Keyhole, New Hampshire.
Doesn't mean he's still there now.
It's a good start.
Guess I'm going for New Hampshire.
You better find a good hiding place.
Like hell, I'm going with you.
Okay, The Cop-2 system shows three stolen cars in southern Penobscot County in the last twelve hours.
One of them was a mile of Johnny Smith's house a Toyota Camry, Maine tags 70.
3.
4.
Foxtrot Whisky I got a match on the Camry.
Last visual contact was at an ATM on west Highway 2 Get out the car ! ####it.
Get out the car! I said get out the car! Oh, oh, oh, oh! Dude, some chick stole our van.
What are you doing ? Looking for someone headed west We only took her car 'cus she took ours man.
- We were chasing them when you landed.
- Is that the girl ? Allright, they travel in a stoled van.
I want a search on every road and rest-stop around a 20 miles radius.
Get this trap rope around.
- This one.
- Cool.
Not cool.
I'll get it.
- ##### - I am.
I've got mathskins So, Gibson You strike me as a free spirit.
How'd you wind up working for the government? Pulled one hack too many and busted by the Feds.
Once they found out what I could do, they let me "volunteer" for national security work instead of going to prison.
- Your parents must be very proud.
- They're dead.
- Plane crash.
- I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I mean, it happened when I was a baby.
And I spent a couple years in foster care No one knew what to do with me.
The numbers would start to come on all fast and furious, and I couldn't make it stop.
I used to sit in a corner and bang my head against the wall, trying to shut it off my caseworker decided I was autistic put me in an institution.
When I got tired of being drugged all day and treated like a freak,.
.
I ran away and never looked back.
Been on my own since.
You know, some of the other psychics, they were the closest thing I ever had to a real family.
Neal too.
'Cus we were all just freaks, you know? Yeah, I do.
When I talk to you I keep getting these these two dates flashing in my head.
- What are they? - Six-six nineteen-ninety-five.
That's the date of my accident.
The day I became a freak.
That other one's in the future.
Twelve thirty-one two-thousand and something, I can't see the year.
New Year's Eve.
You planning a big party? Let's hope.
Check it up.
We try to keep a low profile.
The choppers are a bit much, don't you think? - I see you found the van.
- Still warm.
- Let them run.
They'll take us right to Pynchon.
- Are you sure sure about that ? He went off the grid three days ago.
No phone calls, no credit cards,.
.
.
.
no e-mail, nothing.
He's smart enough to know where blackout zones are.
- Yeah, and there are only a thousand.
- But only a few in southern New Hampshire.
Which is where Smith and the girl have been tacking since they left Cleaves Mills.
Alright, I'm on it.
Please be kind and rewind.
Gotcha Let's go.
We got the New Hamphire pick plate AP4733### Ok, the train is gone.
Why aren't we moving? Something's wrong.
.
I'm gonna check it out Something's wrong.
.
We're so busted.
That was weird.
For a second there i thought he could see us.
Let's go guys, we just found the last no-surveillance contact.
We're just a few minutes behind.
We're in a white mansion in New Hampshire.
It's pretty rural out here.
Not many assets to tap into.
- We still have plenty online.
.
- Yeah, my satellite keeps going in and out-- Mine is solid.
Watch this.
The only black area in New Hampshire that has, have to be in Keyhole.
That's where they head it.
Is that clear enough for you ? If you're ever back in these parts, give me a call.
Betty, you're an angel.
- I think she liked you.
- It's the cane, you know.
- This is the place? - I think so.
Good Evening, gentlemen.
- What'll it be? - Two cups of cofee please.
Beer it is.
What brings you folks out here? We're looking for a friend of mine.
Neal Pynchon? Pynchon Pynchon - doesn't ring a bell.
- A young guy Plays darts Nope.
.
How about you, Fitch, you know anybody around here like that? Nope.
Can't help ya.
Sorry.
Double or nothing, Neal? Not tonight, I hu Got some stuff on fire.
Ha thanks for the hospitality, but we gotta blaze.
.
- The guy just stole your dart ! - Hey, go figure ! Smith Smith Earth to Smith This is his place.
Home sweet home.
Oh.
.
- What? Something wrong? - The numbers.
- They're gone.
- What do you mean? They're always there.
As long as I can remember, all all around me.
Like I'm an antenna, picking up anything digital.
Normally I can't shut them off and Are you okay? Yeah I guess so What do you think happened? I don't know, we must.
.
We must be in a blackout zone, or something.
.
Hold it right there.
Gibson! Thank god.
Where's Sylvia? Fine, come on inside.
Hey, Doug! A car pulls up outside! Two in one night? You've gotta be kidding me-- This place is getting a little too crowded for my taste Tell me about it.
.
- It's Coulter.
- Where are you? We're just outside Keyhole in New Hampshire.
We anticipate contact within the hour.
Your signal is terrible.
Ya, we just come in the blackout zone.
We gonna be in and out of comm for the next several hours-- I leave for Washington first thing tomorrow.
I need this thing wrapped up before the hearing starts at 4:00.
Maybe now will be a good time to define "wrapped up".
Particulary as it pertains to Mr.
Smith.
.
.
unfortunate business, but I'll need you to terminate.
.
- Say again? - Kill all three of them.
Copy that.
I knew Scanlon was up to something.
I should have calculated the risks more carefully.
At least you got out alive.
And just take my advice and just keep on running cause that's what I intend to do.
But you can't just leave.
Scanlon has to be stopped.
You stop him then.
I thought i was doing some good, I thought i was working on some I was gonna protect lives, but Scalon and the others are using it to ruin lives.
- So you're just gonna let them win? - Scanlon is invulnerable.
He's got friends in high places, and whatever enemies this guy has They can't touch him.
He knows too much.
He knows everything.
Look, I know how you feel.
Your friends are dead and all seems so impossible, so you want to run.
But there's still someone here to really needs your protection.
What do you want me to do? We can't give up.
If they win, it won't matter if we get away.
Lights up, get down! What about the other two? These folks with you? Let me introduce a few of my off the grid neighbors.
Doug Derozier, ex-New York Police Department, Jack Fitch, retired F.
B.
I.
, and Nick Redcloud, angry pure blood Mowhawk.
.
So what was it? What the psychics see that was worth killing them to keep secret? That's classified.
Yeah? Oh Looks I've got a full access now.
The men you bumped into.
You did something to him Oh my God.
About that man across the street.
What happened to him? - I don't know what you're talking about.
- He fell.
I recognized him.
.
He's that Senator, right?.
.
the one who died of a heart attack - but it wasn't a heart attack, was it? - You're crazy.
You murdered a Senator in cold blood.
Prove it.
You know, M.
Smith, that we can work a deal I can use a man like you on my team.
It's intermittent, but it looks like we're getting a signal again.
The numbers are back I can feel them Yeah, we're just outside of the blackout zone.
It was kinda nice, - the quiet.
- Ready to give it a try? - Tell me again what I'm looking for? - It was a street in Georgetown, three days ago.
Scanlon and Senator Marshall.
Do we know for sure we're going to find something? Scanlon is so paranoid he records everything.
Guy makes Richard Nixon look like a trusting soul.
Okay, that's level one.
Now we just enter the access code Slip in the back door, to see what he has in his underwear door.
- What is it? Something wrong? - The access code have changed.
Don't you have some kind of doublesecret backdoor code? This is a billion-dollar project.
Every keystroke had to be approved.
I think we're outta luck, here.
Touch me.
What do you want us to do with these guys? You're wrong.
Take them to a doctor -- take your time.
Or we could do to them what they did to Sylvia and the others.
Nothing personal,sweetheart.
So you won't take it personally when I shoot you? Give me that.
- That's not how this is going to work.
- No, no, no.
.
Let her kill me.
You think you can stop the future? Do you? You take down Eyetrap And there's gonna be another program just like it on line before the new year.
And you know why? Because the American public is buying what we're selling, They think our technology protects them and it's good for them.
Technology isn't good or bad.
It's the people in charge of it.
And we're about to make a change upstairs.
Get them out of here.
Let's go.
Did you get it? Like a candy from a crazed fanatic baby.
- The access code? - You're ready ?.
.
seven nine four six six again four.
nine.
We're in-- You're a very talented girl, Miss Gibson.
You got some mad skills yourself, Mr.
Pynchon.
Right, let's find this footage.
.
Bingo.
I know all about the budget authorization, and I can count heads: you're one vote short.
Maybe your extortion tactics worked on the others, but there's nothing about me that hasn't come out the last six campaigns.
- We don't need to talk like this.
Not here.
- We don't need to talk at all, do we? I should just assume that you know everything.
Thanks to Eyetrap.
Do your worst, Scanlon.
I'm voting no.
I'm disappointed, Senator.
Very disappointed.
this shocking video shows the director of Argon with Maine Senator Theodore Marshall just moments before he was apparently poisoned by a second man, Robert Coulter, an employee of the company.
Company spokesmen deny any knowledge of the activities of those involved.
Virginia police have arrested Scanlon and the Senate Intelligence Committee is scheduling hearings on the appropriation for the Eyetrap system.
The FBI also continues to search in vain for the hackers who broke into one of the most secure computer systems in the world, spamming news organizations around the globe with this very sensitive footage Well, I'm glad everything went well.
The kids had a great time, but J.
J.
missed you.
Oh, yeah? - I'm making it up to him.
- How? That's classified operation, Sarah.
- I'll call you later, ok? - Ok, bye! Alright.
Credits cards.
"View from Paradize" watch out!.
.
Oh! Hey, hey! Hey, J.
J.
I'm letting you skateboard in the house, but you gotta watch for the moulding! Ok? Sorry! It's okay, It's okay ! I'm a fun dadI'm a fun dad
