Wlth the passage of the Freedom of Observatlon act,
a new and mlghty weapon In the war on terror was placed In our hands.
The flrst major step mandated under the new law
was to unlte the vast array of separate publlc and prlvate survelllance cameras
throughout our natlon Into a slngle network-
the Optlcal Defense Intelllgence Network,
- named O D I N.
O D I N monltors every form of domestlc electronlc communlcatlon
for crlmlnal actlvlty.
The most vlslble and hlghly successful addltlon to our eye llne
has been the Introductlon of a powerful new set
of state-of-the-art moblle robotlc survelllance cameras
known as Eyeborgs.
Lord, glve me eyes that I mlght see.
That's better.
What Is he up to? Terrorlst bastard.
Yeah, I'm looklng at you.
Excellent.
Cool.
Look, I got something.
Something big.
Only-I don't know what it is.
Show me.
What Is thls, now?
Show me what they've got.
Clear left and zoom.
It's somethlng new they're developlng.
It's something we've never seen before.
We dld It.
Come on.
We lost the slgnal. Should we move In?
Negative. Hold positions.
We got company.
Shells?
Yeah.
Now, I wonder how it got in here.
What?
Wait a minute.
Hey, you don't think that I brought
I think - you just got careless.
Damn it.
Move in, move in.
Go, go, go.
Go around back. Here we go.
Key on us.
Find him.
All rlght, llttle frlend. Show me what happened here.
You were so hot on stage tonlght.
I just love your band.
What's it called again?
Painful Daze.
Right, Painful Daze.
Brandon, you're an awesome slnger,
and out of all those glrls, you plcked me.
Well, you seem...
Special.
So, you got the stuff?
Oh, God, oh, God.
Relax, it's a friend.
G- Man.
Who's she?
She's cool. So you got the stuff?
You know what you got to do.
I- I know. I'll break it good.
Enjoy your stuff.
What was that?
J ust forget about it, okay?
Is that what I thlnk It Is?
As promised.
Genulne homegrown...
North Carolina tobacco.
Oh, my God.
I haven't had a clgarette
slnce the government made smoklng lllegal.
God, you taste llke an ash tray.
You too.
That is so hot.
What was that?
Shh.
Okay, Marsha.
All right. If Brandon calls you or anything,
just let me know, and I'll do the same, all right?
Okay, thanks.
Nothing. He disappeared with that chick after the show last night.
Nobody knows where he is.
Palnful Daze, you're up.
Okay. Well, Jarett, I hope you know the lyrics,
because you just became lead singer of the band.
What lyrics? Nobody knows the lyrics.
It's just a bunch of incoherent screaming.
Thank you, guys, so very much. You guys have been awesome.
Get ready to go balls to the walls with Painful Daze.
Sldeshow 321 Alpha

Once agaln, a Department of Homeland Securlty

Everyone please remaln calm and follow all Instructlons as glven.
Whoa!
Everyone please remaln where you are.
D H S, put the gun on the ground!
Back off. Back off.
Step away from the girl, Sankur.
Don't make this harder than it is.
On the ground, now.
Now.
You can't stop me.
Away. Move, move, move.
Stay away! Stay where you are!
I mean it.
Take hlm down.
I'm dolng thls for you.
Put your guns down. Thls Is for everyone.

Ah.
Go, go, go.

Suppresslon flre only.
Suppresslon flre only I
Stay down.
We've got to stop them.
What was that?
What?
What are you doing?
We needed him alive.
Well, you got your target. It's this punk kid over here.
Wake up, Amerlcal
The president is lying.
Are you hurt?
No, I don't think so.
Where is the truth?
They're watchlng us.
They're watching us all.
They're watchlng us all I
You're a lucky son of a bitch.
That little Eyeborg just saved your life.
Oh, God.
I've got a gig.
You're lucky to be alive.
Any idea why this guy would be taking a shot at you?
No, I don't know.
What's your name?
U h, Jarett.
I'm with Painful Daze.
Jarett. Last name, Jarett?
Hewes.
H- U-G-
No. H-E-W-E-S.
You mean like-
Yeah.
Next you're gonna tell me you're related.
He's my uncle.
You serlously want me to belleve
that the president of the U nited States is your uncle?
Hey, he's serlous.
You do have a gig,
playlng for the presldent of the U nlted States next week.
Yeah.
Well, he's a good man.
He'll get my vote again.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, me too.
Hey, llsten, you thlnk we could just not tell anybody about thls?
I got enough nut jobs coming after me as it is.
Yeah. Our job is keeping you safe.
Keep the family relations quiet.
Okay, thank you.
Yeah, well, we know where to find you.
Ronnl?
You don't suppose hlm belng the presldent's nephew has anythlng to do wlth thls?
Gunner.
Donut run.
Gunner, Gunner.
Agent Reynolds.
Yeah. Ms. Hoppy, isn't it?
Barbara Hawkins. What happened here this evening?
Nothing. It's all over.
We heard reports of gunshots from this establishment.
Yeah, there were gunshots.
And why was that?
Because guns were being fired.
Was there a reason, or are you and your men
just the sort to enjoy shootlng off thelr loads whlle people watch?
Not if you're filming it. Good night, Ms. Harpy.
Hawkins.
J ust in the nick of too late.
You know, they have machines that'll do your job now, minus the lip.
We're off.
To make the news.
You just got careless.
I didn't do it.
Are you saying I can't trust what I see with my own eyes?
You're not seeing it with your own eyes.
You're seeing it with thelr eyes.
All right. Let's talk about last night.
The kid. You were trying to kill him.
Why?
The kld Is a stepplng stone.
To the president?
He's not the president.
He was never elected into office.
Funny, I thought we had an election.
Not an election, a coup!
Computerized voting. No paper trail.
The exit polls showed him
tralllng the whole day, and then some computer
announces he's our new presldent?
Oh, this guy looks like
the love child of Charles Manson and Karl Marx. Ew.
He doesn't look like a Marx brother.
Oh, cute.
Their guy wins, it's democracy.
Our guy wins, it's a coup.
Actually, I voted for the other guy.
Really?
U h-huh.
Me, too.
Oh.
You want some coffee?
And the only way we can take America back
is to kill Benjamin Hewes.
President won't be in town for another two weeks.
And you knew you dldn't have two weeks,
so you went after the kid.
You're just putting nails in freedom's coffin.
My job is to protect freedom and the people of this nation
from those that would do them harm.
I n that case, we're on the same side.
What say we go after that son of a bitch Hewes together?
You realize you're facing federal charges.
U nder the Freedom of Observatlon Act,
it is a government offense to tamper with, disable,
or otherwise interfere with
the operatlon of an offlclal observatlon devlce,
which basically means you're screwed,
'cause you're going to pay for that Eyeborg you shot.
Now, take some time and come up with some names
by the time I get back.
How about Kyle?
And Sharon?
Damn shame what happened to your family.
I am sorry about that.
I'm sure you are.
But if it wasn't for what happened to them,
we wouldn't have Eyeborgs to scrape out scum like you.
Don't let that freak get to you.
He's not.
Go figure.
Well, ain't you a cute little thing.
Oh, there he Is. Agent Reynolds.
Ms. Hawkins, what are you doing here?
I'm trying to get a straight answer about what happened last night.
I have no comment.
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Wait.
Decaf.
There was a shooting last night at a public facility.
Turn that camera off. No, don't turn the camera off.
You have no right to film in this building. I do, I am in the lobby.
Turn that camera off or I'll shoot you.
- He can't shoot you. - I will shoot you.
He is allowed to be in the lobby.
Everybody wants to be a comedian. What's that all about?
Hey, drink up. First they ban cigarettes. This will be next.
H uh?
Obviously, you're hiding something.
- I'm not hiding anything. - No! Turn that back on!
Hey, hey.
Oh, God. No, no, no, no. U h-uh.
Security breach. All sections initiate lock-down procedures immediately.
I nltlate lockdown procedures Immedlately.
J ust stay here!
Thls Is not a drlll.
Oh!
Ashley, talk to me.
The subject is headed toward the south hall.
Damn.
Toward the west lobby.
East stairwell, now.
East stairwell.
Yeah, he's in the west lobby.
There he is. U p there.
Now in the north stairwell.
Come on, go, go, go.
Got you.
Ah!
I need you to override the emergency lock-down on level six.
Overriding the lock-down on level six.
Come on.
Agent Warner, are you in yet?
Hang on.
Let's go.
Override lock-down, level seven.
Abort lock-down. Come on.
No! No!
D H S agents are uncertaln
how a suspect who was In the process of belng Interrogated
managed to escape from the room and commlt sulclde,
but an Investlgatlon Is under way.
Jack.
Horrlble turn of events, Barbara.
Absolutely horrlble. Thank you, Barbara.
I n other news, Presldent Benjamln Hewes...
My uncle's politics take a turn to fucking derangement land,
and people want to take it out on me.
I mean, I haven't even seen him since I was a little kid.
I don't even know him anymore, you know?
I wouldn't vote for the son of a bitch, and we're related.
Jarett, at least you're still alive.
I mean, God knows I never thought I'd say this.
As much as those Eyeborg things creep me out,
you would be dead if it weren't for them.
Tsk. M m.
Look, I am sure the guitar man can fix her up.
Yeah, well, if G - Man can't, no one can.
I could use a little fixing, too.
H m! Yeah?
Oh, look.
It's your uncle.
As presldent, there Is nothlng more Important
than protectlng the people.
Great. Now he's cutting into my sex life, too.
That Is why I supported the Freedom of Observatlon Act.
Now, wlth my new law,
every camera In the natlon,
as well as mllllons of moblle unlts,
have been llnked dlrectly Into O D I N.
Man, millions of mobile units.
...a network that never sleeps, never rests,
and never stops looklng out for you.
Yesterday, the State Department
Issued yet another terror alert,
thls tlme cltlng the natlon of Zlmbeklstan.
What? Zimbekistan?
Are they your next target, M r. Presldent?
How many more natlons wlll we Invade
before you're satlsfled we're safe?
The flnal debate wlll be held next week,
wlth our own Wlnston Salem playlng host
to the presldent's contlngent. Jamle Kell reports.
Jlll, I'm standlng outslde the Mlllennlum Center,
from whlch the presldent's slde of the debate wlll be broadcast.
I'm gonna be there.
I cannot belleve you convlnced me
to play thls fundralser.
Oh, stop whining.
He is desperate for the younger vote,
and you need the gig.
J ust take advantage of it and invite some fans along.
Yeah, right.
He won't even let me bring the band.
He only speaks In front of Invlted, supportlng crowds,
for security reasons.
As wlth prevlous debates,
the candldates are In dlfferent locatlons
to create a less centrallzed target for terrorlsts.
What are you doing?
Do you remember that wedding gig you did last month?
The two ladies who got married.
No, the other one.
Oh, the forelgn guy?
There has deflnltely been a bank error.
Come and check it out.
Only Indlvlduals especlally Invlted by the presldent
are permltted Inslde the debate hall.
Obvlously he llked us.
Obviously a computer hair-balled up a decimal point in the wrong place.
I mean, I'll have the bank fix it,
but do you remember that terror alert on the news, about Zimbekistan?
Yeah?
Well, that's where all this money came from.
What?
Yeah.
Oh, shit!
Ronni, the last thing I need is for the government to think
that I'm in some kind of business with terrorists.
I mean, If U ncle B's opponents get ahold of that, thls could be really serlous.
I know, I know, I will have it fixed by tomorrow.
Look, who never fails you?
My Ronni.
That's right. Don't ever forget it.
I'm glad you failed once.
Yeah, me too.
Or I'd have never met you.
You know the most romantlc thlng you ever sald to me?
U m, put on this collar and bark like a dog?
No, but that was dope.
The flrst tlme we talked-
M m-hm?
Jarett, just shut up and fuck me already.
U h, yeah, that was it.
No, no, play it again.
That's not what happened. I locked that door.
I keyed in the codes.
I got the red light.
Not according to O D I N.
Database confirms what the cameras show.
You keyed the unlock code twice.
Then the database is wrong.
Are you postal?
There's nothing wrong with the database.
You keyed the wrong codes.
Video shows it, and computer records confirm it.
It's wrong. I locked that door.
What are you saying? I can't trust what I can see with my own eyes?
J im, you were there. What happened?
I'm sorry, I didn't see it.
What do you mean, you didn't see?
You were standing next to me.
You were upset.
You've keyed those codes a thousand times.
This time, you made a mistake.
And that's how I'm writing it up, all right?
E. O. F.
Play it again.
George! George, you can't do an end of file on this one.
Because?
Because Sankur was trying to kill the president.
What if he wasn't working alone?
No one was working with Sankur.
How do we know that?
Because the head office said so.
They've had this fruit basket flagged and monitored
ever since he checked out The Anarchist's Cookbook from the local library.
He was a lone nut. Now he's a dead nut.
Well, at least let Bradley and I check out his apartment.
Jesus, Gunner!
We might find-
Don't you get it?
You've got good friends in high places,
probably because your testimony helped get the Eyeborg system on-line.
Aw, come on! Don't pull that on me, George!
But push this too far-
and someone may press charges for negligence.
Don't let one mistake ruin a great career.
I'm not ordering you as a supervisor.
I'm telling you as a friend.
Let it go!
What kind of a tenant was Sankur?
He was very, very quiet,
and he was very strange.
They always are.
Oh, am I gonna be on television?
Maybe.
Oh. Oh.
These doors kind of stick.
Oh, there we go.
Thank you. We won't be long.
Oh, take your time.
You know, I'm a fan of yours.
Oh, thank you.
Bye.
Thank you. Bye bye.
Whoa.
Suddenly the clutter In my apartment doesn't seem that bad.
Gunner said they were done here, but it doesn't look like anybody's been in here!
There's got to be something really good here.
Ho, ho, ho. Here's something good.
M r. Deller's, it's been such a long time.
How are you doing?
Eric, don't even look at this.
I've got it under control.
It's like running into your ex-wife.
Glad to be rid of her, but there were some good times.
Come on, Eric, give it - You take this and I'll take this.
Pry it loose. Pry it loose. Pry it loose.
Okay.
Oh!
Look at this, look at this, look at this.
What? What?
This is the kid,
the punk rocker that Sankur attacked the other nlght.
He's related to the presldent.
He's related to the president. That's what Gunner was hiding!
Yeah, probably worried you'd report it.
And risk losing my reporter's license?
I don't thlnk so.
Do you think he's hiding something else?
Yeah, he did seem a little tense.
A llttle tense? He threatened to shoot me.
Wait a minute, wait a minute. Sankur claimed this D H S footage wasn't real.
Is it possible that this is fake?
Sure. I mean, computers these days-
Anybody can make a computer composite.
But to make It reallstlc-looklng and rendered In real tlme?
Now you're talklng some serlous processlng power.
Would you check it out for me, please?
Worth a bottle of Deller's?
No, it's not.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
Of course I'll do it for you, Barbara.
Come on I We're offl
Off to make the news, baby.

You're supposed to stay open tlll 5.:00. Where are you?
G- Man?

Wlnd blows open my door,
and who floats in on the breeze?
None other than the nephew of the almlghty hlmself.
Come on, G, not again.
Stlll a llttle touchy about belng related to the bastard-In-chlef, huh?
You really wanna talk politics to a guy with purple hair? Seriously?
How's It hanglng, J?
It's good. You?
Eh, long and llmp, but at least I can walk on It.
Now what graces you to my doorstep?
Check it out.
Let me guess - Brandon bounclng around on stage agaln?
U h, no. Brandon's, llke, mlsslng.
What?
He disappeared with some chick after the H igh Point show.
Well, if not him, then who?
A freaking Lie-borg did this?
Hey, It saved my llfe, man.
Really, I'm serious. I know you don't like them.
Don't like them? That's an understatement.
Look, I can count seven or elght of them damn thlngs, rlght from here,
and every one of them photon-sucklng spy-bots-
Wired directly to your uncle's office.
Yeah, I'm actually pretty sure the O D I N mainframe
is not sitting in the Oval Office.
M ight as well be.
We, the people, sure don't run this country anymore.
Looks llke my uncle wants me to play thls fundralser next week.
Never figured the C- in-C for a headbanger.
Thlnk you can get her done?
Patience, kid, patience.
I love the extremeness of your life, man.
As long as those Eyeborgs are around.
Dude, they're just cameras.
An E B saved your life, didn't it?
Yes. By taklng a pretty plcture of you?
No. By gettlng between me and a bullet.
Wow. Pretty smart move for a camera, don't you think?
Ah.
Here. Read thls.
"The Freedom of Observatlon Act?"
Are you kidding me? Did you actually read all this?
More than the stupid senators and congressmen that passed it.
Check out page 742.
" I n the absence of any formal law enforcement authority,
"a unit may act as needed to obstruct a perpetrator
In the commlsslon of a crlme. "
So yeah, If a terrorlst Is about to blow up a bulldlng,
and there's no cops around to stop It,
then an Eyeborg can stop it.
Exactly.
What is wrong with that?
What's wrong with it?
Yeah.
It's not limited to just terrorists blowing up buildings.
What If an Eyeborg catches you dolng somethlng wrong,
and no one's around to stop it?
It can do whatever it wants.
They're just security cameras.
What if it's not just a camera?
What if somebody puts a weapon in it?
Think about it.
Robot soldlers Inflltratlng soclety,
seeklng out enemles of the government.
This is America.
Thlngs llke that can't just happen.
Man, you really had me golng there wlth all that consplracy crap.
It's not crap. I was there
when they first used robot soldiers to kill people in GW2.
I'm telling you-
Eyeborgs keep us safe.
"Those who choose safety over freedom deserve neither. "
Benny Franklin, 1776.
Those who would play for the president need a working guitar.
Jarett, 5: 27.
I'll get her all pretty for you. Don't worry.
All right. Hey, thanks, bro.
See you.
Oh, God, look out. My God, he's got a gun.
Ha. What do you know?
M m.
Eric, hey, what's up?
I did what you asked.
I went over Sankur's homicide video,
and guess what I found?
What?
Plxel blendlng.
What does that mean?
If you create a 3-D object In a computer,
you can render It wlth 2-D, but If the angle's too steep,
you get artifacts.
The only way to get somethlng llke that perfect
Is to have a 3-D scan of the person.
Wlthout that, there's always some flaw to glve It away.
I n Sankur's clothing, there's an area
where It looks llke- You guessed It- Plxel blendlng.
So does that mean the video could be fake?
That's what I just sald.
Oh, I knew somethlng was up. Beam It over to me rlght now.
U m, this system's not networked.
What, are you In the Stone Age?
It keeps from gettlng vlruses, all rlght? Hold on. Okay.
Look, I got the chip in hand. I'll come over and show you what I'm talking about.
That's even better. I'm gonna be home in ten minutes. Go right now. Go.
What is this?
Barbara, I was just kidding.
Jeez, you want to get me fired?
Get off of me!
Let me go!
Let go of me.
What are you dolng?
What are you doing?
Ahh!
Ahhh!
Yeah, whoo!
Now that's how you make the news, baby.
Thank you.
You have been "dis-armed", baby.
Damn.
Hell's a'popping.
See what you can find out.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
No, I'm okay. I'm okay.
We D Led Eric leaving the station.
And these are from the trafflc camera.
Eyewltness sald he nearly kllled her when he ran a red llght.
He was all over the road, completely out of control.
Were you aware that Eric had a history of alcohol abuse?
Yes, but he was always so definite that his drinking was in the past.
Why did you call us? This was a traffic accident.
What made you thlnk It was a D H S matter?
This is going to sound a little crazy now,
but I had Erlc analyze the Sankur homlclde vldeo.
Why?
Sankur sald the vldeo wasn't real,
and Eric's a video expert, so I had him analy ze it.
He said it looked fake.
He was coming to show me.
Report from the forenslc guy.
Sounds a lot less plausible coming from a drunk.
But he didn't sound drunk.
Computer analysis.
Shows he had almost a full bottle today.
I'm sorry.
But he didn't sound drunk.
Coffee?
So how'd you find me here?
My little friend showed me.
Oh, yeah. I keep forgetting you are the father of the Eyeborgs.
That's not my favorite title.
It's just that everybody knows that if it weren't for you,
the O D I N system would never have gone beyond the testlng stage.
That's because I testified in front of the senate committee,
and you reported how I felt.
Look, Gunner, I had a story to do,
and it was about how you felt.
You weren't just another law enforcement officer bucking for a tool.
Your story- What happened to your family-
That is what moved people.
I just wanted to catch the bastard that killed my wife and took my son.
I know. And you got the Eyeborgs instead.
Yeah, and a very nice note from the vice president,
thanklng me for my support on hls pet project.
Look, how close were you with Eric?
He was like a little brother. He was a pest sometimes,
but I don't know what I'm going to do without him.
If he was drinking again, do you think he would have hidden it from you?
Like you hiding that the kid who was attacked the other night was the president's nephew?
You are on a need to know basis.
I couldn't have his identity compromised
by puttlng hls name on the alr.
Do you know what this is?
A journalist's license.
When the government started requiring
that journalists be licensed, most of my colleagues quit,
but I stayed. Do you know why?
Because my husband was killed in the last attacks,
and I swore I'd do whatever I could
to prevent anyone from havlng to feel that klnd of paln.
Other reporters called me a traltor,
but I believe in what I did,
so don't treat me like I can't be trusted.
Are you certain that Eric was right about the video?
Absolutely. I am posltlve.
Because if you report what I'm about to tell you,
we could both be brought up on Patriot Act charges.
Well then, I guess it's all about trust, then, isn't it?
I must be loslng my mlnd.
Flne. There are thlngs-
Small thlngs, but a lot of them.
...Vetoed pendlng leglslatlon,
prohlbltlng domestlc deployment,
saylng wlth the ever-changlng nature of the terrorlst threat,
It Is vltal to keep all optlons open.
Earller thls afternoon, Vlce Presldent Rutledge
Introduced the latest In a developlng llne
of mllltary klller robot soldlers.
Bastard.
These robot soldlers,
whlch are belng deployed today,
are deslgned to protect our men and women overseas
and our chlldren at home.
Why dld the presldent veto a blll
deslgned to prohlblt domestlc deployment?
Terrorlsm knows no borders. Now, the presldent and I
are gonna be explorlng every optlon avallable
to make sure that we protect all the cltlzens of thls country.
Go.
You got to stop the project.
Is your line encrypted?
It doesn't matter. They know.
Where are you?
Look, I don't think I have much time.
You-you got to cancel the project.
Davld, calm down.
It's rlgged and ready.
Well, unrig it. U nrig it now!
David?
The president.
The Eyeborgs. I know the truth.
What truth?
God help us all.
They're here.
Nol
Robot rats.
Come on, try to get a plece of me, you slllcon psychosl
You little binary bastards.
Llttle dlgltal dlngoes.
Ahh I
Ahh!
Hey, G-Man.
Hey, G, You in there, man?
Hey, G, it's Jarett.
Hey, hey, hey.
Help, help, help.
Help. Hey, hey, hey.
Help, help. Help. Help.
Help. Hey. Whoa.
G- Man! G-Man! Oh, God.
G- Man. I need an ambulance.
I'm in Liberty and Trade Street behind M idtown Guitar.
Don't tell me to calm down I
Want to go over the part agaln
about what you saw In the alley?
I saw an Eyeborg rushlng out, and It attacked me.
Eyeborgs aren't allowed on private property without a warrant.
I know that.
There's no warrant Issued for thls property,
so there's no way there was an Eyeborg Inslde.
Video surveillance in the alley.
No, no, that's not rlght.
No, It wasn't a man. It was an Eyeborg.
It was one of those, it was one of the big spidery ones.
Yeah, but I see a man.
But you're not seeing through your eyes.
You're seelng wlth thelr eyes.
I saw what I saw.
What are you dolng? Are you golng nuts?
I'd like to know if my partner's going nuts before you get us both killed.
I don't know, J im.
J ust cut me some slack.
I'm working on something.
Is that the guitar G- Man repaired?
Yeah. G-Man was the best.
Can I take her?
Sure. It's not evldence.
Try to stay out of trouble.
I just want to go home and be wlth my glrl.
Guilty conscience there, partner?
Is thls a joke?
Come on.
Come on, son. I'll buy you some ice cream.
My momma warned me about guys like you.
Thank you, I ris. Ahhh.
Isn't thls fabulous?
Sure you don't want some?
It's freedom vanilla.
What's the deal, man?
Am I under arrest here?
I mean, every time something bad happens-
I thought this would be a safe place to talk.
And now G- man is dead.
I thought thls would relax you a llttle blt,
because you seem to be very tense most of the time.
Now, of course, I'm eating freedom vanilla ice cream
in an exotic car wash with a D H S officer.
I believe you saw an Eyeborg the other night.
Thank you.
I can't be certain, but I think someone hacked into the O D I N system
and Is controlllng them.
Focus!
What?
Yeah, no, I know. I thought there were-
I think someone's trying to kill the president.
H uh? Are you kidding me?
No, I'm not.
Someone-
Someone has compromised our surveillance system.
Like who?
Like terrorists.
Ooh, terrorists. I'm so scared.
The government made the Eyeborgs, they control the Eyeborgs,
but if something goes wrong, it's never the government's fault.
There's a traitor somewhere, somewhere probably high up in government office.
Maybe even Inslde the D H S.
What do you want me to do about it?
I need you to contact the presldent.
You have found the wrong guy for that.
We're talking about his life here.
I can't do that.
Why not? You're the only one that can go dlrectly to hlm.
- They won't believe me. - Why not?
They won't believe me. Look, there is an entire branch
of government that's set up to protect him. You don't need me.
Listen, son.
Whether you want to be involved in this or not, you are.
Now, you, the president, and anyone connected to you could be in serious danger.
We don't know anyone In Zlmbeklstan.
So what you're telling me
Is that thls money came from the government of Zlmbeklstan,
and not a prlvate Indlvldual?
Well, you or somebody higher up than you
is gonna get this money back to Zimbekistan
if we have to be here till Gulf War 7 breaks out. Capisce?
All right, I expect to hear from you within the hour. Thank you.
Get- Get-get out.
Get out. Shoo. Get out!
You're not supposed to be in here.
Fine. If you won't get out, I will.
Call Jarett. Call-
Call Jarett.
I'm sorry, command not understood.
Call-Jarett!
Hey, baby, you will never guess what-
Jarett, help.
What?
Ronni? Hello, hello? Can you see me?
Jarett, help.
Yeah, you're breaking up. I can't really see you.
What's going on? Are you all right?
Ronni?
Ronni, I'm on my way.
I'm on my way home rlght now, okay?
Hang tlght.
Ronnl?
Shit.
Jarett!
Ronni? Ronni?
Ronni? Hey, Ronni?
Ronni?
Ronni, are you in there?
Ronni?
No, no, no, Ronni.
Ronni! Ronni! No!
Please, Ronni. Ronni.
Ronni. Ronni.
They're calllng It a sulclde
because she had a history, but I told them
what I thought I saw on the phone- An Eyeborg- When she called me.
And what did the police say when you said that?
There was no record that she called.
Dld you speak to your uncle?
No, I trled. I can't get ahold of hlm.
He's coming here tomorrow. I need you to make that meeting.
No, no. I can't. I can't.
I can't do that.
Jarett, I know this is really hard on you,
but think about what happened to Ronni,
what almost happened to you.
Your uncle could be in extreme danger.
Well, that's not my problem. That's not.
No. That's not my fucking problem.
You have no idea what you're asking me to do here, okay?
I never, I never talk to my family.
I mean, I am so far over on the other fucking side of this-
And there's no way-
I'm not. No. I'm-
Jarett Hewes?
Yeah?
Please hold for the presldent.
It's him.
Jerry?
U ncle Benjamin.
I heard about what happened,
and I am so sorry.
Is there anythlng I can do to help?
No, thank you.
U m, it's just...
I - I need to tell you something. I need to talk to you about the Eyeborgs.
Walt just a mlnute.
Wlll you excuse us, please?
Now, Jarett, llsten very carefully to me.
Thls Is not a secure llne, and I'm not In a posltlon to talk rlght now.
But It Is very Important that you not mentlon thls to anyone else.
J ust promlse me you'll be there tomorrow nlght,
and we can sort thls out face to face.
I really don't know if I can be there.
Jarett, please.
At least let me see you after what's happened.
Okay.
Okay, I'll be there.
I'll see you tomorrow, then.
Okay, bye.
He sounded concerned.
It doesn't seem like you're on the other side, does it?
Okay. Okay. I will play that fundraiser.
It's what Ronnl wanted me to do.
But if I'm going to walk in there and try to convince the president
that security cameras are killing people,
I need some real proof.
I'll get you the proof.
You just be there.
Okay.
Let's go.
Llve from 44 H D electlon central,
thls Is campalgn coverage of Declslon Amerlca,
wlth Jack Romero, Jlll Coppola,
Barbara Hawklns, Jamle Kell,
and the Eyewltness News Team.
Good afternoon to you. I'm Jack Romero.
And I'm Jlll Coppola.
Comlng to you llve from our state-of-the-art electlon central newsroom.
Today, Eyewltness News' contlnulng coverage of Declslon Amerlca,
and the final presidential debate of this election.
We begin our coverage with Barbara Hawkins at the debate site.
Barbara?
Thank you, Jlll.
The day of the debate has flnally arrlved
In Wlnston-Salem at the beautlful Mlllennlum Center.
The presldent's llmo arrlved moments ago,
and we've been Informed that he was escorted Inslde,
where a crowd of Invlted supporters
awalts hlm behlnd closed doors.
Oh.
This is a great idea you had,
checking out what's his face's shop.
G- Man.
I know what happened here. I saw the movie.
Well, now you can read the book.
Ha ha ha. That's funny.
Take a look at that.
What do you suppose made this?
Look, I know what I saw in the video.
Well, let's take a look inside.
Although only supporters are allowed near the presldent
for securlty reasons,
there are, In fact, many protesters
demonstratlng agalnst hls pollcles here today.
For safety, such dlssenters are kept far away from the presldent
In tlghtly regulated flrst amendment zones.
Thank you, Barbara.
You ever thlnk about how easy the Eyeborgs make It
to get convictions?
If you mean having video of a crime as compelling evidence, then yeah.
It's hard to argue with video.
Exactly. No cross examination.
Was there anything on the computers?
Nothing. Our guys went over it from the last bit and pixel.
Someone that doesn't trust machines
wouldn't put anything in there.
He'd be doing things the old-fashioned way.
You heard It here-
The presldent says he understands and agrees
that we are way In over our heads flnanclally,
yet he contlnues to perpetuate the problem by contlnulng
to put more money Into a system whlch Is controlllng us,
and my goal Is to cut that out.
What are you dolng?
It's hollow.
What?
There Is one word
that the senator llkes to use a lot
wlth reference to O D I N, and that's control.
There's a very blg dlfference between observatlon and control.
Here. That's it. Come here.
...the O D I N system.
And from conceptlon Into development,
Into manufacturlng, Into Implementatlon,
many, many jobs have been created.
Good afternoon, M r. Hewes. Take that, please?
I thlnk to the tune of over slx mllllon jobs have been created,
and ladles and gentlemen, every one of those jobs Is wlthln the U nlted States.
We have greatly Increased the gross natlonal product,
and Increased the tax base and the revenues of the federal government.
It pays for Itself, ladles and gentlemen.
D H S to Secret Service, Headliner has entered the building.
What's this?
Look at these deslgns.
Weapons on the Eyeborgs?
They must be fake.
She's not lax at all, and we both know that.
We just dlsagree. We slmply dlsagree.
Hello?
We all know how I feel about It,
and I'm hoplng one day, she'll reveal how she feels about It,
and what she wants to do Instead.
I want to make one thlng perfectly clear,
and that Is I agree wlth the presldent.
I belleve that we should be protected.
I belleve that we do need securlty.
However, there Is a very thln llne
between belng protected and an Invaslon of prlvacy.
God.
What's this?
Looks like C-4.
It's more like a C-4 variant.
It's odorless and malleable.
This could get past the scanners without a problem.
There's no scent. The snlffers would mlss It.
G- Man had to get it near the president. How?
We are not watchlng the Amerlcan people.
These are cameras and moblle unlts. They are not human.
They are observlng and recordlng behavlor.
There are many levels, and the flrst level Is behavlor number one.
N umber one Is slmply normal human behavlor.
There's no threat. There's no red flag.
When a moblle unlt or a camera
sees behavlor that Indlcates posslble crlmlnal actlvlty Is In the works,
It goes to level two. Stlll, no human eye Is on the human belng.
I can't get a signal down here.
Come on, we've got to warn them.
Let's go.
Jlm, be careful.
What? Maybe they can help us get a signal.
Guys, we need for you to get us-
J im.
No.
J im?
Damn.
Come on, Ed.
Gunner, what the hell happened to you?
J im Bradley's dead.
How?
The Eyeborgs have been compromised.
How can the Eyeborgs be compromised?
And that's not our only problem.
Jarett Hewes, the president's nephew,
has a bomb hidden in his guitar.
The kid's already in the building.
We'll secure the perlmeter.
You take a team in and get the president out of there.
Yes, sir.
Sanchez, get your team together.
Let's not hurt the kid. He doesn't know he's been set up.
What's going on? What happened?
Terrorists have control of the Eyeborgs,
and Jarett's guitar is rigged to assassinate the president.
That's not funny.
No, you're right. It's not.
Round them up. Move them out.
What's the situation?
The debates are still going on
but we can't contact anyone on the radio.
Our first priority is to get the president out.
U nderstood.
Let's go, commander.
Yup. Sanchez?
D H S, Secret Servlce. Stand down.
Where are the president's guards?
I don't know. They should be here.
We're taking the president off-stage, then we get him out of the building.
Gunner, wait. Let's get a twenty on that kid first.
Coyle, take a team.
I want you to sweep the bulldlng.
Sanchez, I want you to do a perlmeter wlth a team,
and I want the bomb squad-
Gunner, Gunner.
It's not real.
Oh, Lord. He's not real.
What's going on?
Where's the president?
There is no president.
What?
There is no president.
I don't understand. Did terrorists-
There are no terrorists. No terrorists,
no election, no president, no more democracy.
O D I N has been using us.
That's why we Invade one country after another-
So it can breed.
You're recording this, right?
J ust keep recordlng
and sending it to the station.
Where's Barbara's feed?
It must be some klnd of a problem
wlth the robot camera we gave her.
Have you called her?
There was no answer,
but there's nothlng for her to do untll the debate's over.
I suppose.
Well, no more.
Not on my watch.
I want that boy out of here.
Ed, can you hear me?
Right here, right here.
What do we do now?
Hlgh, low. On two. One, two.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is unbelievable.
There Is no presldent,
no room of Invlted supporters.
We've got to get Jarett and that bomb out of this building.
O D I N wlll go to any extreme,
even kill our own American heroes,
to keep It secret.
Cover.
No one knows how long thls-
Barbara.
What are you doing here? You all right?
I can't move my legs.
We'll get you out of here.
No, no, have you found Jarett yet?
He's somewhere in the building. I don't know where.
The basement. They've got him in the old jail.
How do you know?
I've done a mllllon storles on thls place.
It used to be the old federal building.
We've got to get past them.
No, there's another way. See that slot up there?
It's part of the old survelllance tunnels.
They connect every room In the bulldlng.
Oh. There's a door behlnd that curtaln.
You just get in there.
You can get to the basement and get Jarett out.
Sanchez, send a bravo team. Go with Gunner.
Go.
Leave me the nine mil, another clip, and I'll be fine.
Don't do anything stupid.
We'll get you on the way out.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Where is Barbara?
We have gunshot flre from wlthln the Mlllennlum Center.
Communications have been compromised. Let's go quietly.
Oh!
Team, gol
I'm here.
Help, help.
Help.
You all rlght?
Oh, my God, what's happening? Where's U ncle Benjamin?
He's dead.
Probably has been for years.
But he's the president.
Not anymore.
What Is thls?
I don't know. Some kind of 3- D scanner or something.
Oh, God.
Ahh. Ahh.
Let's be very careful with this.
Thank you.
Don't thank me. There's a bomb In It.
Go.
Fall back.
What's happening out there?
As far as we know, the presldent Is safe.
But we can nelther conflrm nor deny at thls tlme.
What the hell are those?
An Eyeborg no human ever designed.
Coyle, what'd they do to you, man?
Jesus.
Come on.
Gunner.
Gunner, take the guitar.
Get him out. I got you covered.
No, Sanchez. Come back, San-
Barbara.
Jarett!
Jarett, son, come here, son.
Come here.
Look at me, look at me.
I need you on your feet.
All right? You understand?
Okay!
All right, give me your arm.
Come on. Come on!
Gunner, what happened to the others?
Doesn't matter. We got to go.
Oh, no. Oh, God.
No, you can't move me.
Yes, I can.
Take Jarett. I can barely walk.
Come on, we haven't got much time!
No, you take Jarett and take these.
These are the computer chips from my camera.
They'll have everything that happened today.
They'll be the last recorded video.
It's the only proof you'll have of what happened.
Barbara.
I'm taking you out.
Promise me you'll take these out.
Promise me, Gunner! Promise me!
Yes. I promise.
All right, look, you promise me something-
Whatever comes through that door, do not move.
They are programmed to attack. Do not move.
And I will be back for you.
I know. I know.
I know.
Come on, son. I'm getting you out of here.
Come on, look at me.
Look at me. You can do this. Put your arm around me.
Agaln, I'm not sure If gunshots have been flred,
or If It's somethlng that sounds llke gunshots. Standlng by.
Do you know what I've got here?
The delete key.
No.
I, Thomas Rutledge, do solemnly swear-
That I wlll falth fully execute the offlce of presldent of the U nlted States-
You are looklng at hlstory In the maklng-
Footage just released, showlng the former vlce presldent
In an undlsclosed locatlon taklng the oath of offlce
and assumlng hls posltlon as the next U. S. presldent.
Welcome to Eyewltness News. I'm Jack Romero.
And I'm Jlll Coppola.
The new commander-In-chlef wasted no tlme
deploylng a coordlnated assault
Involvlng army, navy and alr force troops
agalnst the tlny, oll-produclng natlon of Zlmbeklstan.
We have Irrefutable proof that Zlmbeklstan Is Involved
beyond the funds glven to the traltor Jarett Hewes
for hls Involvement In thls terrorlst assasslnatlon plot.
Sad to say that we dare not trust anyone,
not even our own relatlves.
My admlnlstratlon has just begun Implementlng
sophlstlcated securlty provlslons
deslgned to protect you.
Wlth that, God bless you, and God bless Amerlca.
Sam.
Thanks, man. See you soon.
What about that vldeo?
Everybody knows that vldeos can be faked.
Regardless of the motlves of people,
they're deslgned to confused you,
so you must ask yourself, each and every cltlzen of thls country,
ask yourself one questlon and one questlon only-
Who do you belleve?
A government that Is sworn to protect you,
or a ratlngs-hungry medla beholden to no one?
Dude, thls outflt so does not work for me.
Eyeborgs use visual pattern recognition.
Besides, you look good in it.
Really, man? Here? I mean, just-
It was either here or the exotic car wash.
I thought this would be better for your soul.
H mm. Wanna know my preference?
Oh, no, I don't.
The world thinks I'm dead already.
Look, we go public with this,
and I get out there In front of cameras-
Trust me, it's been done with cameras before.
Gunner, I can't just slt here and do nothlng
whlle people are out there dylng.
Barbara's-Barbara's video has gone viral all over the net.
It's spreading like crazy, going peer-to-peer.
Even O D I N can't stop it.
So what do we do?
Be patient.
People aren't just accepting what they hear anymore.
Things are changing.
We have to stop the machine.
We will.
Have faith, my son.
Thank you, Father.
The Lord gave me my eyes to see for myself.
I don't need yours anymore.

Coming up next on Eyewitness News 44 H D, a nation mourns the loss
of its longest-sitting leader since F D R and recalls his legacy.
All the while, even under more tight security,
the Vice President is sworn in as the nation's new commander-in-chief.
Also, U S condemnation of Zimbekistan for the attack,
and threats of military retaliation against the tiny nation
in response to the unprecedented-
No one knows how long O D I N has perpetrated thls-
And builds a new coalition
A presldent that's merely an artlflclal flgurehead.
...nation.
U h, clearly some kind of technical problem there.
Some kind of a ghost-like-
We're not quite sure what that was we just saw.
Perhaps some kind of practical joke
by somebody with a very sick sense of humor.
But I'm sure the F C C and this network
will investigate and prosecute those responsible.
Meantime, we apologize for the interruption.
We hope you'll stay with us through the break and into our next program.
Stay tuned, and thank you.
