Replikator (1994) - full transcript
Two companies are competing to develop equipment that can replicate any kind of material, including human tissue. However, one of the companies has more plans for this machine, and more resources to block the other company from succeeding. The movie is set in a future earth with no ozone layer and a peculiar justice system.

Announcer: Sunrise at 6:45
eastern standard time.
Radiation hazard,
avoid sunlight.
Have you seen ludo?
Try the night scene.
Jim!
Hey, John.
Ludo still in there?
Uh-huh.
Computer:
Score: 31,000.
Good game, player man.
Yes.
Select another game
to continue.
Hey, thanks be
to cyberspace,
a worthy opponent at last.
Ha ha ha.
Whee-ha!
Come on, blue.
Ha ha ha ha.
Hoo-ha!
Yee-ha! Ha ha.
What's the matter, blue?
You're making it
too easy for me.
[Gunfire]
Ha ha, ha, whoo!
Whoo!
Come on, blue.
Come on, blue!
Heh heh heh, yeah!
Game over, blue,
whoever you are.
[Machine-gun fire]
Ah, yes!
Yee-ha!
[Dance music plays]
Thank you.
Hey, good game, blue.
Sure wasn't
expecting ludovic
to show up tonight.
He's been out
for 6 months, Kat.
Don't you think
you guys should talk?
Why?
It's over.
Well, at least your
little encounter
was restricted
to cyberspace.
If I'd known it was him,
I would have tried
harder to win.
[Laughs]
Can we go, please?
Sure.
Hi, Kat.
You still mad at me?
Keep it movin'.
Sorry.
Ludo!
Wasn't that...
Uh-huh.
Hey, you should
talk with her.
I do ok on my own.
Well, it doesn't matter,
because I found a--
hey, wait!
Ludo!
Ludo, listen to me.
What?
You know how when we try
to replicate anything complex
it just falls apart?
Man,
don't you ever relax?
Have a drink
or something.
It's the peripheral
software.
That's where
the replicated sample
amplifies imperfections
in the original.
Well, if that's right,
then we, uh...
Route the signal through
a super-cooled path.
Ludo, that's it.
John, tomorrow
we go online.
Laptop computer voice:
Cheever, John...
On parole for cyberspace
appropriation.
Granby,
is anybody working
till close tonight?
I doubt it.
Thanks--easy!
Ok, I'll--I'll
see you tomorrow.
Tomorrow.
John cheever?
You're too soft,
Valiant.
Police loudspeaker:
Curfew time,
parolee ludovic.
Kathy: We agreed this isn't
what the replikator was for.
Judge: Mr. Ludovic,
your forging days are over.
Kathy: They're
confiscating the lab.
Ludovic: Sorry, Kat.
Kathy:
Everything, my life.
Ludovic: Sorry, Kat.
First name?
Ludovic: Ludovic.
Last name?
Ludovic: Ludovic.
What's your name?!
Ludovic ludovic.
What idiot would name
a kid ludovic ludovic?
A forger?
Think it's funny?
We'll see if
you're still laughing
in a few years.
[Electric razor]
What are you
talking about?
Shut up!
You don't know nothing!
I've already told you.
Will you shut up!
Narrator: Salvador wishbang,
another young follower
of the new destiny underground
was arrested today
for pushing virtualitol.
The virtual reality drug
was hidden in copies
of new destiny's
manifesto,
which advocates the creation
of a superior race.
The gullible wishbang's
mentor is lord falcon,
whose real identity
is a secret.
One wonders if the falcon
is a drug dealer, too.
Vote on the guilt or innocence
of Salvador wishbang.
Remember, when you vote,
you're eligible to participate
in lotto-justice
and win great prizes.
Shut up! I'm not takin'
this crap anymore!
Hey, John.
Ludo.
Computer:
Good morning, ludovic.
All files clear for access,
excluding replikator
interface program.
Thank you.
Announcer:
The high tower
proudly presents
the one, the only,
miss Tina show!
[Jazz music plays]
Computer: Heads up!
Heads up! Coffee's up!
It's hot. It's good.
It's ready. It's ready.
It's hot.
Morning, everybody.
Do we have
a replikator online?
No? A progress
report, perhaps.
A breakthrough,
Mr. Scott.
Yes. What was
the problem?
The problem was
how to sustain
quantum flux
in the replication field
while conforming the signal
from the sample that
we're replicating.
Fine. Fine. When can we
expect the test?
Tomorrow, maybe.
Good work.
I'm sure you're right.
Candor.
[Jazz music plays]
Ludo.
[Music stops]
Good morning,
Cecilia.
When are you guys
gonna trust me
with this thing?
I do.
The parole
board doesn't.
[Sighs]
I heard something.
Yeah?
Zyklor's about to test
the replikator.
If they succeed first,
we're history.
Zyklor is bureaucracy.
Everything takes
forever.
Oh, really?
That's not what I heard.
They are ready,
online.
Oh, they are?
So are we.
We're ready.
Are you certain?
Good. Then we
test it tonight,
before we tell the world.
This system works,
I'll buy you
a private party
at the high towers.
[Jazz music plays]
Scott, what a surprise.
Chief, how goes the
law-and-order business?
Oh, it has its days...
And...how may I assist
in the good works
of zyklor, Mr. Scott?
We're ready.
I can't wait
any longer.
You sure you're ready?
You sure you're ready?
If we're ready,
the competition
can't be far behind.
If we're ready,
the competition
can't be far behind.
All right, Scott.
All right, Scott.
Once I commit...
There's no turning back.
Once I commit...
There's no turning back.
Good.
What the hell
were you thinking,
promising him
we'd be ready tomorrow?
Ready to test.
That's what it is,
a test.
Why do you set
yourself up like this?
To please him?
Because he will
eat you alive
if we screw up.
It's research, honey.
He understands.
I don't trust him
to understand, ok?
Not at all.
I really don't get
your problem.
It's just a test.
This is the atomic bomb,
little girl,
the door that
can't be closed.
This is not
just a test.
Kathy, I can't
explain this.
I just think
it's too dangerous
to trust him
the way you do.
Scott is the one
who believed in me,
all right?
He invested
in my ideas.
Yeah, well, intersec
was tearing your lab down.
Yeah, well,
at least he had vision.
I don't mind answering
to that kind of support.
Woman over P.A.: Kathy,
it's the investors from Seoul.
Secure video, line 2.
I'll be in my workstation
if you need me.
Fine.
So, Kathy,
would you say
that our investors
cannot be assured
that replicated
tissue capacity
will be marketable
this quarter?
That's correct.
We might be able
to pull it off that fast,
but I can't guarantee it.
We're counting on you,
miss moskow.
You'll keep US advised
of any developments,
won't you?
Of course.
[Sighs]
[Telephone rings]
Good morning.
John speaking.
Uh...uh...
You know where
to find me.
No, no, I, uh...
I'll be right there.
I want to speak
to Valiant.
The parole board
has the right
to reassign your work term
if you don't keep up
your obligations.
There's no reason
to reassign me.
I've done nothing wrong.
In my opinion,
you have.
So i'm
reassigning you, John.
Hey, John, you're on
the winning side now.
I'm already on
the winning side.
Ludo's replikator
goes online tonight.
[Dialing]
Yeah, it's me.
Either, you know,
I'm in another dimension,
or I don't want to answer
this call, so...
[Sighs]
Leave a message.
Maybe I'll get back to you.
Heh heh.
Hello, Victor.
Just thought you
might like to know
we've reassigned
that street trash
of yours,
John cheever,
to zyklor,
and there's nothing
you can do about it.
Hey, moskow.
Hey, moskow.
Say hello
to John cheever.
Say hello
to John cheever.
You know, that other
child genius
of biodesign.
Why?
Work program
reassignment.
I don't need him.
Well, when you've finished
your cause in science,
perhaps you can set about to
reform the justice system.
So do it and die,
you jerk.
Ohh.
So, John...
How's ludovic
making out?
Ok, I guess.
Mm-hmm. Well,
he usually does.
Would you, uh,
help him, John?
[Beeping]
Forever optimistic.
I like that.
Tokyo.
I've got to take it.
Uh, the disk?
See you in 15.
Announcer:
10 years ago today,
the United Nations
bans virtualitol.
The drug became popular
as a virtual reality enhancer.
Its side effects, however...
Hey, watch where
you're going!
Kathy.
Hello.
Hop in.
[Dialing]
You have reached zyklab,
the zyklor tissue
regeneration laboratory.
If you wish to reach
Dr. Lena turnbull,
dial extension 47.
For Kathy moskow,
dial extension 43.
For Dr. Hart--
this is Kathy moskow.
Please leave your message
after the tone.
Hey, Kat, don't
erase this yet.
You want to hear it.
Yes?
You called in
an alarm.
Impossible.
Well, we just had one.
Biodesign?
We'll take
a quick look-see
and be on our way.
No way we had an alarm.
A visionary scientist
needs to commit...
Sometimes needs to
commit in the absence
of certainty.
You have that quality,
Kathy.
That Mark of genius.
The lab is a team.
Never mind them.
Let's stay on genius...
And Genesis...
On the essence
of creation.
[Door slams]
Cecilia?
You...
The replikator.
No one else
thought of it.
That's the point.
I didn't think of it.
It was an accident.
Tell me about it.
Destroy the disk.
What?
Run...
[Distant door slams]
Well, I was, um...
My ex-partner and i--
yes, ludovic,
the, uh, young forger.
Back then, we were a couple
of cyberspace cowboys
working on virtual reality
software
problems,
you know, resolution,
that kind of thing.
[Gunshots]
I'm
very impressed.
So that's when
ludo asked,
if we can recreate an image
in 4-dimensional density,
then what's the difference
between that image...
And the real thing?
This is it?
Yeah, mm-hmm.
It's the first thing
ever replicated?
Ha.
Backtrack.
I'll take
the level down.
Can you see him?
Computer: Illegal command.
Enter personal
security code.
Incorrect code entry.
Please try again.
Listen, ludo...
Pull the disk.
I'll take that,
Mr. Ludovic.
Computer: Enter code 5
to terminate test sequence.
Now, Mr. Ludovic.
Test sequence engaged.
Enter code 5 to terminate

Heads up! Heads up!
Coffee's up!
It's hot. It's good.
It's ready. It's ready.

It's ready. It's ready.

I've been, uh, thinking
about that test tomorrow.
I've been, uh, thinking
about that test tomorrow.
And I was thinking that
maybe we could, uh...
And I was thinking that
maybe we could, uh...
We could take it
one small visionary
step further...
Some...
Rudimentary life form,
something simple.
What do you say?
Well, we're not ready
to do a life form,
even a simple one.
And even if we were,
I mean, should we try?
Kathy...
It's going to happen.
[Sloshing in puddles
of coffee]
What's the matter,
ludo?
Aren't you happy
to see US?
Repeat after me...
Man has become immortal.
Come on.
Snap out of it.
You knew in the back
of your mind
everything would
come down to this moment.
This is the ground floor,
brother.
Can't you see
what we can accomplish?
We go back,
secure the disk...
And wait.
[Laughs]
We deserve this.
We earned it.
We own it.
No.
[Groans]
What is it?
What's happening?
Ohh!
I don't know.
We can't do this alone,
ludo.
We must stick together.
[Footsteps]
[Woman screams on TV]
Hi.
Hi.
Sorry I jumped
the gun today.
That's ok.
Relax.
Right.
If you're hungry,
there's something
on the stove.
Great. Thank you.
Dance for me!
Slowly...
Ooh, that's nice.
Oh, let me touch you...
Let me touch you...
Yeah...
Yeah...
Kathy's voice: If we
can recreate an image
Kathy's voice: If we
can recreate an image
a 4-dimensional density,
then what's the difference
between that image
and the real thing?
And you through me
we will make...
A secret race
of superior men and women.
I should have visited.
What?
Ludovic.
What about him?
In jail.
I should have visited.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Get him out of here.
Ludo: I want to talk
to Valiant.
You talk to me, ludo.
What happened
to the two cops?
Only two dead people,
ludo.
A security guard
and Cecilia masters.
No cops.
You liar.
What in god's name
is she doing?
Your favorite
street kid
just murdered
two coworkers.
Attila the hun
answered the call.
Murder?
No. Not ludovic.
Yes. Ludovic.
Ludo, you were found
at the scene of the crime,
with the murder weapon,
with her blood all over you!
Victor, I didn't do it.
Yeah, if you didn't
do it, you know what?
Somebody went to a lot--
I mean a
whole
lot--
of trouble
to make it look
like you did do it.
Yeah. Two intersec cops.
Ok, ludo, ok.
Let's take it once more.
From the top.
[Rock music blares]
Uhh--
[crack]
Computer: Biodesign
replication file.

Defendant ludovic alleges
defendant ludovic alleges
one intersec officer
impaled on the east wall.
[Sighs]
Nothing. Nothing.
Bang.
Defendant ludovic alleges
at least 4 gunshots
fired in chase
would have hit
north boiler.
Analysis:
Recent paint...
So, ludo...
You're not as crazy
as we thought.
Spectrographic analysis
reveals traces...
Oh, boy.
...consistent with
fractural ammunition.
Somebody's been messing
with the evidence.
Is there a possibility
that we had other officers--
you know, maybe from,
you know,
another jurisdiction,
whatever--
who were investigating
biodesign?
The answer is no.
Victor,
I would hate to think
that you were attempting
to place responsibility with me.
Disabuse you of this...
Speculation.
Uh, may I make
the assumption, uh,
that you are declining
this opportunity
that I am giving you
to tell me what the hell
is going on, sir?
The death
of Cecilia masters
has left the community
crying for justice.
We have a suspect
in custody.
He will have
his day in court.
Yeah, but--ok, no,
what about this--
the administration,
in fact, the very future
of this program...
Is no longer
your responsibility.
Good night, Victor.
Ludovic.
Guard: Cell 16.
Hello, ludo.
[Door opens]
How long has it been,
almost 2 years?
Maybe.
Over 2 years.
The warden told me
you've been a model inmate.
In a real facility
with, uh...
Computers.
The parole board
is recommending you
for a new work program.
The rehabilitation committee
is serious this time.
Interested?
Get disk.
You're not gonna let me down,
are you, ludo?
I'm a new man,
inspector.
Destroy disk...
[Electronic beeping]
All parolees are
required to wear
this homing device.
Does this mean
we're married?
You eat and
sleep with it.
Run...
Run.
Guard!
Man: Quiet!
I want to talk to Valiant!
Quiet!
Quiet!
Announcer: A bludgeoning
in biodesign.
Lawmen lock up ludovic
for the murder of masters.
Ludovic,
the street-kid forger,
now computer whiz,
claims innocence.
What do you think?
Hear the facts
on the justice channel,
your interactive pulse
on public security,
and vote on ludovic's
innocence or guilt.
Remember,
when you vote, you're
automatically included
in the lotto-justice draw.
You could win
a neuro-cap vacation for 2,
a dream date
with Tina show,
or your choice of
high-fashion persona brand
easy-breathing face pieces.
No. No way.
People change, Kat.
You don't know him
anymore.
It doesn't make sense.
That's not ludovic.
He's not a killer.
[Beep beep]
Computer, show me
a plasma field diagnostic.
Computer: Plasma field
diagnostic on screen.
Thank you.
[Keystroking]
Would you like
your phone messages
from last night, Kathy?
Yes. Go ahead, please.
Hey, Kat, uh, don't
erase this yet.
You want to hear it.
I'm testing a matter
replication system
tonight,
and, uh...
Well...
I just thought
you might want
to be here
when it happens.
So come on over.
Ciao.
Lena?
What?
Have a seat.
Ok.
[Typing]
Hey, Kat, uh, don't
erase this yet.
You want to hear it.
I'm testing a matter
replication system
tonight,
and, uh...Well...
Weirder and weirder.
Yeah. Look
at the time.
7:32.
So?
I was out running
yesterday,
and an intersec car
cuts me off,
racing to biodesign.
Well, I always
finish my run
at 7:30, right?
Yeah.
So, then how could
he have called me
if intersec has
already responded,
presumably,
to the murder call?
Good morning, ladies!
Are we online today?
Spare some change,
mister?
[Dance music plays]
A pleasure.
I didn't get
any pleasure.
Have a nice time,
you pervert?
TV evangelist: You will be
able to walk in the straight
and the narrow path
to freedom
and to paradise,
because I'm telling you,
brothers,
I'm telling you, sisters,
that if you believe in him,
whether you're a sinner or
whether you're not a sinner,
because we're all sinners
in our soul--
in our soul,
we're all sinners--
but if you dig deep enough
and you pray to the lord,
and you ask Jesus
for your health...
[Guard pacing]
He will help you to grow
into something
really beautiful,
and it will make you worthy
of that paradise
to come,
that wonderful joy,
and one day...

Well?
We're online.
I'm so proud of you.
Computer:

Test sequence completed.
Kat: We did it.
They're perfect, ludo!
Each stone is identical,
brilliant, perfect.
Well, which one's
the original?
They're both authentic.
Now the lab
tests each sample
for comparisons
with the original.
Fine.
Fine. Fine.
Let's run
the other test.
We should conclude
the comparisons first.
What other test?
Kat, what other test?
It's all right.
It's just a simple
living organism,
that's all.
No.
It's ok.
We talked--
you can't just--
why not?
Because this
is not designed
to replicate
living organisms.
Now, we did talk
about this--
slow down.
Now, is there
any scientific
reason
why we can't
replicate
our furry little
friend here?
It's too complex.
Even if every atom
was correctly decoded
and recreated,
it won't replicate
living neural activity--
too much theory.
Let's just try it
and see what happens.
Go on.
You!
Can you run
this thing?
No. I'm...I'm new here.
I do know how to work
the coffee machine, though.
Frick and frack,
can you clowns
do it?
You--do it.
Unless the girls here
change their minds.
Please, Scott,
don't...
See how much
he loves you?
Computer: Second

Absolutely brilliant.
Pure genius.
You guys are great.
Hey...
Come here, little guy.
Ow!
[Drops cages]
[Hissing]
Frick, frack, out!
Kat: Calm down, Scott.
Ok, this was premature...
We never held out hopes to
replicate living organisms.
What about human tissue?
Well, soon.
You led me to believe
that we were ready.
You promised.
Now I'm gonna ask you...
Once again, when?
I'll think about it.
"I'll think about it."
Scott: Do you realize how long
"I'll think about it" means...
To someone
who needs surgery
with replicated tissue?
Do you?!
You've...
You've been cooped up
in this lab for too long.
You have lost touch
with the world's needs.
Now, if it were you...
Would you want to wait?
If you needed...
Reconstructive
surgery?
Hmm? Hmm?
If I cut her up...
Deep...right here...
Would you understand
the unbelievable
urgency then?
Hmm?
Hmm?
Answer me!
No!
I'll kill you!
Aah!
Ha ha ha!
Ooh! Ohh!
The replikator project
is over, Scott.
We're gone.
Get the disks.
The disks stay here.
Ciao, girls.
[Rock music plays]
Hyaaah!
Hey, Victor.
Yeah?
Hey, that street kid of yours
got out real fast, man.
Ludo?
No. No.
He's in steyer.
It sure looked
like him to me.
Fight at the night scene,
got away.
It wasn't ludo.
He's in steyer.
I was just
over there, ok?
Yeah, sure, Victor.
He did it.
He actually did it.
Ludo ludovic.
They can't seem
to rehabilitate you,
can they?
A shame, really.
You're so gifted.
What are you doing here?
You can get out tonight,
pursuing science
at zyklor tomorrow.
Well, thank you, Scott,
but I already
have a job.
I don't think so.
Bar design's
a crime scene.
It's an empty shell.
And you can
make me free.
Fortuitous, isn't it?
[Chuckles]
Let me get this
straight.
I come and work
for you at zyklor,
or stay here and...
Rot in this cell.
I don't know, Scott.
Sounds like about
the same thing to me.
Do you know your friend
John's working for US?
That's right.
Tch.
I'd hate to make him
responsible
for the failure of
our replikator program.
No.
No. Scott.
He--he doesn't know
anything, Scott.
Hey...
Hey!
Heck, yeah.
Hey.
Bor-ing.
Here, how about this?
Uh-uh-uh.
Whoo!
[Cocks shotgun]
You're sick.
Well, she's no Tina show.
Get out.
She's no high towers.
Hey, have a nice time,
you pervert?
Can you spare some change?
[Dog whimpers]
Uh-uh-uh.
Not so fast.
What are you gonna
give me in return?
Hmm?
Oh. Ha ha! Ha!
No way, mister.
This is my dog.
Why do you care?
Why do you care?!
What--hey, look--
that's my dog!
You come back
with my dog!
Now what?
Whoa...

Valiant.
Woman: Valiant?
Yeah.
Listen to me and
listen carefully.
Yeah!
I just saw ludovic
on the street.
No--
did you really think
you could get away
with this?
I've had it with you
and your...
Liberal bleeding-heart
judges--
ludo ludovic
happens to be
resting comfortably
in steyer prison--
steyer prison!
Did you really think
you could get away
with this?
I know that
for a fact!
Ludo, it seems
you've been, uh...
Getting around lately.
What do you mean?
Why, I ask myself...
Is it a long-lost twin?
Is there a ludo look-alike
fan club?
That's what
I was afraid of.
Look...
I don't know
what went wrong.
All I know is,
he's a monster.
You got to help me
get out of here,
Victor.
You got to help me
find him.
Announcer: Citizens are frantic
as an unidentified fashion fiend
cuts a swath of destruction
through town.
The foppish criminal counts
theft, violence,
and snappy getaways
among his anti-civic traits.
The justice channel says,
keep your eyes open
and report this man
if you see him.
Remember,
the justice channel
is your pulse
on public security.
Ah, Victor. Good.
About the inquiries
you've made
in the last 24 hours...
Your request for
most recent financial
statements
and listing of the board
of directors of zyklor...
Denied.
Request for
transport log sheet
and activity report
for the last 2 weeks
from zyklor security...
Denied.
Request to reopen
sealed government files
which document
the purported activities
of one Byron Scott,
1996-2004...
Denied.
Oh, and one final
directive.
As of tomorrow morning,
you will be removed from
the biodesign investigation
and assigned elsewhere.
You may, if you wish,
file a grievance with our
internal board of inquiry,
which will,
I can assure you,
receive my prompt
and serious attention.
Good-bye, Victor.
You know of anyone
who might want
to do this?
An old boyfriend,
perhaps?
No.
Ok. We'll file
a report,
but these cases
usually go unsolved.
Kathy moskow?
Yes?
You guys
finished?
Yeah. Basically.
I'm Victor.
I know.
You arrested ludovic
years ago
on that forgery thing.
Ludo's in trouble.
Again.
Except this time,
I don't think
he did it.
Well, so far,
I agree with you.
Why should we trust him?
Because I think
you two may be
in more trouble
than you think
you are.
Kathy?
Boo!
Ha ha ha ha!
What's the matter,
were you expecting
somebody else? Ha ha!
What have you
done with her?
Relax.
I haven't touched her.
I just came to ask you
one question.
When you first saw me...
I could tell
you were afraid.
Is that because
I was the same...
Or because
I was different?
I don't know.
Look at me, ludo.
What do you see?
Because I see you...
Pathetic, weak,
afraid.
And then I realize...
I'm the one who's suited
for this world,
and you're the freak.
Ciao, ludo.
[Typing]
Computer: Accessing record
of parolee ludovic.
Ludovic. 27.
[Typing]
This is so unfair.
Thanks.
I'll call you
as soon as I know
anything.
No. I'm gonna
go with you.
I can't just sit
around here--
no. No. You go
with your family
in the skirts.
They've been informed.
I've got enough to do
keeping my eyes
on these guys.
You'll call me?
I promise.
Ok.
Bye.
Didn't think this one
would make bail.
Parolee ludovic
traveling.
P.A.: Ludovic traveling.
You live here?
Yeah. Why?
This place
is worse than jail.
It was a joke.
Just a joke.
I've got somebody here
I think can help US.
John?
Hi.
That's for all the trouble
you've been causing.
Again.
Ludo.
Is this gonna be ok?
Ok?
This is gonna
be great.
Chief.
What can I do for you?
I don't know, Scott.
What can you do?
Expect a positive attitude
from all
my associates, chief.
I've got a cop with
a positive attitude, Scott.
His name is Valiant,
and he's following the trail
of your incompetence
right to US.
One damn killing
after another,
no replikator online,
no commerce, no confidence--
not in you or your promises.
Your cop
is your problem.
As for the replikator,
it will be up
and running
soon.
I've heard too many
fairy tales, Scott.
You told me you were ready.
You're not.
Shame, really.
Changed your mind.
Wrong.
Ludovic
is still in prison.
Ha. Ha ha.
Think, Scott.
Think the unthinkable.
Think...replikator.
You're a copy?
No. I'm better.
Stronger.
Superior.
You and I think alike.
Your replikator works.
Till your flunkies
trashed it.
Sorry. It was
just business.
Anyway, I've come here
to make a deal.
I'm listening.
Put me in charge
of your replikator program.
What are you getting
in return?
Nothing.
Nothing?
What about your
schizophrenic other?
I'll Bury him.
In that case...
We have a deal.
Bonsoir.
Ludo!
Ha ha ha!
Your shadow...
Swipes Kat's
back-up tapes
and tries again,
unsuccessfully,
to get the replikator
to work. Why?
'Cause he's an egomaniac
and he wants to
recreate himself.
Well, maybe he's just
trying to understand
what makes him
different.
Maybe he's lonely.
You're kidding, right?
He needs a replikator
that works, so...
Zyklor.
Him and Scott.
What a nightmare.
[Whistles]
Would ya look at this.
Huh.
Yes.
You kids ever do
any...Cryptic crosswords?
My wife used to do 'em
all the time, bless her.
You know, I've been
looking into these...
Extremist...gangs...
[Sighs]
Ok.
If you do a cryptic
of lord falcon,
you get...Byron Scott.
So?
There's more to this Scott guy
than meets the eye.
Yeah. Yeah. Here.
"The secretary for
industry and technology,
Byron Scott,
"was named as
a key suspect in
the illegal distribution
of the drug virtualitol."
Wow. And this was
10 years ago.
There's more.
"Cleared of all allegations,
Byron Scott issued
a statement
through his lawyer."
You recognize him?
The lawyer?
Yeah.
No.
That's chief reinhart!
You mean the cops
that attacked biodesign
were working for Scott?
Somebody wanted to
take your replikator
program out, so--
why would the chief
be involved?
Cops covering for cops
covering for zyklor?
What a mess.

I got a date.
I'll see ya later.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I have some good news
and some bad news.
The bad news is
miss Tina show has
a case of laryngitis
and unfortunately
will not be able
to sing for US
this evening.
The good news is,
who cares?
[Rim shot]
No, but seriously, folks,
hang on to your hats.
[Rim shot]
Hang on to your zippers.
The high towers
proudly presents
the blonde Venus
of sensuality...
The one, the only,
miss Tina show!
[Jazzy music plays]
Bravo!
Bravo, bravo!
Bravo!
I'm just up here.
I can't tell you
how long I've been
waiting for this moment.
I'll be back.
[Belches]
Evian, please.
Hi, John.
I've got a message
from a friend.
Ludo,
liebchen,
may I please have
some champagne?
Hmm?
Here.
Ah, ah, ah, ah,
ah, ah!
Come here, baby.
Ludo, this is not
some rotten
whorehouse.
Ow!
He's out there functioning
contrary to the rules
of any science I understand.
Ok, it's just like
the mouse, remember?
So maybe he's on
the same edge,
some sort of freaky
balance between
forces that can't hold
a pattern for any time,
an accident just waiting
to fall apart.
[Tina screams]
Ludo's double has
brought the replikator
to a very sophisticated
level.
Why? What's Scott
trying to do?
Maybe I could go back
and drop in a virus,
buy some time.
No way.
You are
persona
non grata
at zyklor.
I could do it.
What if they see you?
They won't.
No one works late
at the lab.
Ok, but you be careful.
I'm gonna meet you back here.
In an hour.
Announcer: Intersect video
catches killer escaping
moments after murder
of Tina show.
Mayhem marks the high towers
as ludo ludovic,
already a suspect
in the slaying of
Cecilia masters,
roamed free on bail
and not in jail.
Tina, star of stage and vr,
was stabbed to death
during a private performance.
Intersec asks you
to report this man.
The justice channel asks,
isn't it time to replace
the liberal bleeding hearts
running our parole boards?
Zyklor. The tower
is a back up.
It's also the most
secure place
in the complex.
Intersec figures if...
That's where he's gonna
hold out if he's under attack.
Wow.
It's almost like
he knew this was
gonna happen.
Hmm. It's just
what it's like.
Be vigilant.
This calm can be
very deceiving.
Keep it running.
I got one more thing
I still gotta do.
Jeez.
Come on, John.
Working late, John?
How ironic.
You'll make
a fine specimen.
Surprise, Scott.
[Knock on window]
You're working late,
Valiant.
Oh, yeah. Ha ha.
You, too, huh?
Come up to my office.
Uh, sure.
News flash, inspector.
Tonight we arrest
Byron Scott for
the biodesign murders.
Just like that.
Your evidence supports
a...Parallel investigation.
You were right.
The man is dangerous.
It's time to take him.
I see.
We don't necessarily
expect
zyklor security forces
to respect lawful authority.
It could get...Messy.
Computer: Replication

Leave a message.
Maybe I'll get back
to you. Ha ha.
Hi. It's me.
Where are you guys?
Um, John went to the lab
to fix things,
and he hasn't
come back.
I can't wait anymore.
So I'm gonna go after him.
Ok? Thanks.
Look! I don't want
to be the one to tell Scott
that this isn't working!
Try something different!
4 replicants.
4 failures.
They're guessing.
How long?
5...6 minutes.
And then they die.
You're sitting
in my chair.
Kathy: Ludo!
Computer: Warning.
Zyklor security

[Gasps]
Hello, Kat.
Closing in
on the tower.
This is
a power play, ok?
I mean, if they
take out Scott,
they control
the replikator.
Ok, I'm goin'
after Kat. Go!
We meet on the
perimeter at 3:45.
All right?
On the perimeter.
Go save the girl!
What am I
supposed to feel?
I don't know.
What do you feel?
I feel sick!
We invented
the replikator, Kathy.
These...
Are our children.
And I will not let
humans destroy them.
What are you gonna do?
Whatever it takes.
But--
ciao,
Kat.
Computer: Warning.
Zyklor security

[Laughs]
[Alarm sounding]
P.A.: Byron Scott.
This is intersec.
You are under arrest.
Tell your security forces
to stand down
and give yourself up.
[Telephone rings]
Yes?
No.
Listen to me.
I am the falcon,
and I demand their
total annihilation.
Is that understood?
Ha ha ha!
Ooh-wah!
And again.
And again!
Ah ha ha ha ha ha!
How do you like being
buried alive, Scotty boy?
Stop it!
[Screeching]
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Ah ha ha ha ha!
Ludo!
We can work
together on this.
Just...get me
outta here!
[Mimicking] Outta here!
Get me outta here!
Ah ha ha ha ha ha!
Ah ha ha ha ha ha!
[Tinny sound]
Ha ha ha!
Stop, stop, stop!
Ah ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
How do you like
being buried alive?
Stop it!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
How do you like
being buried alive?
Stop it!
You got a lot of
good software.
[Tinny sound]
How do you like being
buried alive, Scotty boy?
Ludo!
[Crying]
[Coughing]
Appears you have
a...
Standoff on your
hands, chief.
On the contrary,
I have Mr. Scott
exactly where I want him.
I think the situation
would be best served
if you intervene
as our negotiator.
So, you get to play
the hero again.
P.A.: Byron Scott,
this is intersec.
We are sending in
a negotiator.
Hold your fire.
That doesn't
sound right.
Look!
I'm gonna
follow him.
No--
stay here.
Stay here.
Hello!
Byron Scott,
this is intersec.
We are sending in
a negotiator.
Hold your fire.
Chief: Get me demolitions.
I want that tower
blown sky high.
Mr. Scott.
Hold your fire.
Press the button.
What about
the inspector?
Oh, he'll get
a company funeral.
Move it, Victor!
Move it, move it!
...buried alive?
Stop it!
Give it to me.
Aah!
Victor!
Did you really think
you could take over, chief?

Ha ha ha!
All right, let's go!
You're not down yet, huh?
Ok, ludo,
let's see if you
got the guts to end
the beginning, huh?
This is the end
of the game, ludovic.
Don't do this to US.
No escape, ludovic.
And you're comin' down
with me!
What do I do now?
Huh?
[Shouting]
What do I do now?!
Announcer: Intersec
stops insurrection,
seeking arrest
of Byron Scott.
Scott's real identity
is lord falcon,
leader of the new destiny
underground.
Falcon was turning
replication technology
to the production
of a superior race.
Falcon was also named
in the murder
of Cecilia masters,
having framed ludo ludovic
in the killing.
Intersec's Victor Valiant
barely escaped the battle,
but verifies ludovic's
innocence of charges
against him.
Ludovic's crimes,
perpetrated by his
twin replicant,
killed in a horrific
helicopter crash.
Valiant is said to have
declined intersec's offer
to assume the mantle
of chief of police.
Remember, enter lotto-justice

[Footsteps]
Good morning.
Did we come
at a bad time?
No, it's all right.
No, it's all right.
Thank you, Victor.
That's very sweet.
Thank you, Victor.
That's very sweet.
Victor: Here's to...
The unemployed.
I have an idea.
How about
if we all go...
To another city
and start over?
All the decent
cities are halfway
around the world.
And what if...
Money wasn't
a problem?
You didn't.
No.
No. I live
by the rules now.
Good.
Well, I broke one.
It's the replikator disk.
Always back up
your work.
Well, what do you
say, uh...
I'd say we're
back in business.
Hey. Will this
buy me in?
Partners?
All: Partners!
Ludo: Now, one thing
bothers me.
He must have known
he was falling apart,
right?
So when he perfected
the replication
program--
Kathy: Why didn't he
replicate himself over again?
Ludo: I would have.
Victor: Oh, no.
Not again.

He's been out

Don't you think

Well, at least your

The virtual reality drug
was hidden in copies

is a drug dealer, too.

It's hot.
Morning, everybody.
Do we have
a replikator online?
No? A progress
report, perhaps.
A breakthrough,
Mr. Scott.
Yes. What was
the problem?
The problem was
how to sustain
quantum flux
in the replication field
while conforming the signal
from the sample that
we're replicating.
Fine. Fine. When can we
expect the test?
Tomorrow, maybe.
Good work.
I'm sure you're right.
Candor.

Ludo.
[Music stops]
Good morning,
Cecilia.
When are you guys
gonna trust me
with this thing?
I do.
The parole
board doesn't.
[Sighs]
I heard something.
Yeah?
Zyklor's about to test
the replikator.
If they succeed first,
we're history.
Zyklor is bureaucracy.
Everything takes
forever.
Oh, really?
That's not what I heard.
They are ready,
online.
Oh, they are?
So are we.
We're ready.
Are you certain?
Good. Then we
test it tonight,
before we tell the world.
This system works,
I'll buy you
a private party
at the high towers.
[Jazz music plays]
Scott, what a surprise.
Chief, how goes the
law-and-order business?
Oh, it has its days...
And...how may I assist
in the good works
of zyklor, Mr. Scott?
We're ready.
I can't wait
any longer.
You sure you're ready?
You sure you're ready?
If we're ready,
the competition
can't be far behind.
If we're ready,

All right, Scott.
All right, Scott.
Once I commit...
There's no turning back.
Once I commit...
There's no turning back.
Good.
What the hell
were you thinking,
promising him
we'd be ready tomorrow?
Ready to test.
That's what it is,
a test.
Why do you set
yourself up like this?
To please him?
Because he will
eat you alive
if we screw up.
It's research, honey.
He understands.
I don't trust him
to understand, ok?
Not at all.
I really don't get
your problem.
It's just a test.
This is the atomic bomb,
little girl,
the door that
can't be closed.
This is not
just a test.
Kathy, I can't
explain this.
I just think
it's too dangerous
to trust him
the way you do.
Scott is the one
who believed in me,
all right?
He invested
in my ideas.
Yeah, well, intersec
was tearing your lab down.
Yeah, well,
at least he had vision.
I don't mind answering
to that kind of support.
Woman over P.A.: Kathy,
it's the investors from Seoul.
Secure video, line 2.
I'll be in my workstation
if you need me.
Fine.
So, Kathy,
would you say
that our investors
cannot be assured
that replicated
tissue capacity
will be marketable
this quarter?
That's correct.
We might be able
to pull it off that fast,
but I can't guarantee it.
We're counting on you,
miss moskow.
You'll keep US advised
of any developments,
won't you?
Of course.
[Sighs]
[Telephone rings]
Good morning.
John speaking.
Uh...uh...
You know where
to find me.
No, no, I, uh...
I'll be right there.
I want to speak
to Valiant.
The parole board
has the right
to reassign your work term
if you don't keep up
your obligations.
There's no reason
to reassign me.
I've done nothing wrong.
In my opinion,
you have.
So i'm
reassigning you, John.
Hey, John, you're on
the winning side now.
I'm already on
the winning side.
Ludo's replikator
goes online tonight.
[Dialing]
Yeah, it's me.
Either, you know,
I'm in another dimension,
or I don't want to answer
this call, so...
[Sighs]
Leave a message.
Maybe I'll get back to you.
Heh heh.
Hello, Victor.
Just thought you
might like to know
we've reassigned
that street trash
of yours,
John cheever,
to zyklor,
and there's nothing
you can do about it.
Hey, moskow.
Hey, moskow.
Say hello
to John cheever.
Say hello
to John cheever.
You know, that other
child genius
of biodesign.
Why?
Work program
reassignment.
I don't need him.
Well, when you've finished
your cause in science,
perhaps you can set about to
reform the justice system.
So do it and die,
you jerk.
Ohh.
So, John...
How's ludovic
making out?
Ok, I guess.
Mm-hmm. Well,
he usually does.
Would you, uh,
help him, John?
[Beeping]
Forever optimistic.
I like that.
Tokyo.
I've got to take it.
Uh, the disk?
See you in 15.
Announcer:
10 years ago today,
the United Nations
bans virtualitol.
The drug became popular
as a virtual reality enhancer.
Its side effects, however...
Hey, watch where
you're going!
Kathy.
Hello.
Hop in.
[Dialing]
You have reached zyklab,
the zyklor tissue
regeneration laboratory.
If you wish to reach
Dr. Lena turnbull,
dial extension 47.
For Kathy moskow,
dial extension 43.
For Dr. Hart--
this is Kathy moskow.
Please leave your message
after the tone.
Hey, Kat, don't
erase this yet.
You want to hear it.
Yes?
You called in
an alarm.
Impossible.
Well, we just had one.
Biodesign?
We'll take
a quick look-see
and be on our way.
No way we had an alarm.
A visionary scientist
needs to commit...
Sometimes needs to
commit in the absence
of certainty.
You have that quality,
Kathy.
That Mark of genius.
The lab is a team.
Never mind them.
Let's stay on genius...
And Genesis...
On the essence
of creation.
[Door slams]
Cecilia?
You...
The replikator.
No one else
thought of it.
That's the point.
I didn't think of it.
It was an accident.
Tell me about it.
Destroy the disk.
What?
Run...
[Distant door slams]
Well, I was, um...
My ex-partner and i--
yes, ludovic,
the, uh, young forger.
Back then, we were a couple
of cyberspace cowboys
working on virtual reality
software
problems,
you know, resolution,
that kind of thing.
[Gunshots]
I'm
very impressed.
So that's when
ludo asked,
if we can recreate an image
in 4-dimensional density,
then what's the difference
between that image...
And the real thing?
This is it?
Yeah, mm-hmm.
It's the first thing
ever replicated?
Ha.
Backtrack.
I'll take
the level down.
Can you see him?
Computer: Illegal command.
Enter personal
security code.
Incorrect code entry.
Please try again.
Listen, ludo...
Pull the disk.
I'll take that,
Mr. Ludovic.
Computer: Enter code 5
to terminate test sequence.
Now, Mr. Ludovic.

I've been, uh, thinking
about that test tomorrow.
I've been, uh, thinking
about that test tomorrow.
And I was thinking that
maybe we could, uh...
And I was thinking that
maybe we could, uh...
We could take it
one small visionary
step further...
Some...
Rudimentary life form,
something simple.
What do you say?
Well, we're not ready
to do a life form,
even a simple one.
And even if we were,
I mean, should we try?
Kathy...
It's going to happen.
[Sloshing in puddles
of coffee]
What's the matter,
ludo?
Aren't you happy
to see US?
Repeat after me...
Man has become immortal.
Come on.
Snap out of it.
You knew in the back
of your mind
everything would
come down to this moment.
This is the ground floor,
brother.
Can't you see
what we can accomplish?
We go back,
secure the disk...
And wait.
[Laughs]
We deserve this.
We earned it.
We own it.
No.
[Groans]
What is it?
What's happening?
Ohh!
I don't know.
We can't do this alone,
ludo.
We must stick together.
[Footsteps]
[Woman screams on TV]
Hi.
Hi.
Sorry I jumped
the gun today.
That's ok.
Relax.
Right.
If you're hungry,
there's something
on the stove.
Great. Thank you.
Dance for me!
Slowly...
Ooh, that's nice.
Oh, let me touch you...
Let me touch you...
Yeah...
Yeah...
Kathy's voice: If we
can recreate an image
Kathy's voice: If we
can recreate an image
a 4-dimensional density,
then what's the difference
between that image
and the real thing?
And you through me
we will make...
A secret race
of superior men and women.
I should have visited.
What?
Ludovic.
What about him?
In jail.
I should have visited.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Get him out of here.
Ludo: I want to talk
to Valiant.
You talk to me, ludo.
What happened
to the two cops?
Only two dead people,
ludo.
A security guard
and Cecilia masters.
No cops.
You liar.
What in god's name
is she doing?
Your favorite
street kid
just murdered
two coworkers.
Attila the hun
answered the call.
Murder?
No. Not ludovic.
Yes. Ludovic.
Ludo, you were found
at the scene of the crime,
with the murder weapon,
with her blood all over you!
Victor, I didn't do it.
Yeah, if you didn't
do it, you know what?
Somebody went to a lot--
I mean a
whole
lot--
of trouble
to make it look
like you did do it.
Yeah. Two intersec cops.
Ok, ludo, ok.
Let's take it once more.
From the top.

Nothing. Nothing.
Bang.
Defendant ludovic alleges
at least 4 gunshots
fired in chase
would have hit
north boiler.
Analysis:
Recent paint...
So, ludo...
You're not as crazy
as we thought.
Spectrographic analysis
reveals traces...
Oh, boy.
...consistent with
fractural ammunition.
Somebody's been messing
with the evidence.
Is there a possibility
that we had other officers--
you know, maybe from,
you know,
another jurisdiction,
whatever--
who were investigating
biodesign?
The answer is no.
Victor,
I would hate to think
that you were attempting
to place responsibility with me.
Disabuse you of this...
Speculation.
Uh, may I make
the assumption, uh,
that you are declining
this opportunity
that I am giving you
to tell me what the hell
is going on, sir?
The death
of Cecilia masters
has left the community
crying for justice.
We have a suspect
in custody.
He will have
his day in court.
Yeah, but--ok, no,
what about this--
the administration,
in fact, the very future
of this program...
Is no longer
your responsibility.
Good night, Victor.
Ludovic.
Guard: Cell 16.
Hello, ludo.
[Door opens]
How long has it been,
almost 2 years?
Maybe.
Over 2 years.
The warden told me
you've been a model inmate.
In a real facility
with, uh...
Computers.
The parole board
is recommending you
for a new work program.
The rehabilitation committee
is serious this time.
Interested?
Get disk.
You're not gonna let me down,
are you, ludo?
I'm a new man,
inspector.
Destroy disk...
[Electronic beeping]
All parolees are
required to wear
this homing device.
Does this mean
we're married?
You eat and
sleep with it.
Run...
Run.
Guard!
Man: Quiet!
I want to talk to Valiant!
Quiet!
Quiet!
Announcer: A bludgeoning
in biodesign.
Lawmen lock up ludovic
for the murder of masters.
Ludovic,
the street-kid forger,
now computer whiz,
claims innocence.
What do you think?
Hear the facts
on the justice channel,
your interactive pulse
on public security,
and vote on ludovic's
innocence or guilt.
Remember,
when you vote, you're
automatically included
in the lotto-justice draw.
You could win
a neuro-cap vacation for 2,
a dream date
with Tina show,
or your choice of
high-fashion persona brand
easy-breathing face pieces.
No. No way.
People change, Kat.
You don't know him
anymore.
It doesn't make sense.
That's not ludovic.
He's not a killer.
[Beep beep]
Computer, show me
a plasma field diagnostic.
Computer: Plasma field
diagnostic on screen.
Thank you.
[Keystroking]
Would you like
your phone messages
from last night, Kathy?
Yes. Go ahead, please.
Hey, Kat, uh, don't
erase this yet.
You want to hear it.
I'm testing a matter
replication system
tonight,
and, uh...
Well...
I just thought
you might want
to be here
when it happens.
So come on over.
Ciao.
Lena?
What?
Have a seat.
Ok.
[Typing]
Hey, Kat, uh, don't
erase this yet.
You want to hear it.
I'm testing a matter
replication system
tonight,
and, uh...Well...
Weirder and weirder.
Yeah. Look
at the time.
7:32.
So?
I was out running
yesterday,
and an intersec car
cuts me off,
racing to biodesign.
Well, I always
finish my run
at 7:30, right?
Yeah.
So, then how could
he have called me
if intersec has
already responded,
presumably,
to the murder call?
Good morning, ladies!
Are we online today?
Spare some change,
mister?
[Dance music plays]
A pleasure.
I didn't get
any pleasure.
Have a nice time,
you pervert?
TV evangelist: You will be
able to walk in the straight
and the narrow path
to freedom
and to paradise,
because I'm telling you,
brothers,
I'm telling you, sisters,
that if you believe in him,
whether you're a sinner or
whether you're not a sinner,
because we're all sinners
in our soul--
in our soul,
we're all sinners--
but if you dig deep enough
and you pray to the lord,
and you ask Jesus
for your health...
[Guard pacing]
He will help you to grow
into something
really beautiful,
and it will make you worthy
of that paradise
to come,
that wonderful joy,
and one day...

Kat: We did it.
They're perfect, ludo!
Each stone is identical,
brilliant, perfect.
Well, which one's
the original?
They're both authentic.
Now the lab
tests each sample
for comparisons
with the original.
Fine.
Fine. Fine.
Let's run
the other test.
We should conclude
the comparisons first.
What other test?
Kat, what other test?
It's all right.
It's just a simple
living organism,
that's all.
No.
It's ok.
We talked--
you can't just--
why not?
Because this
is not designed
to replicate
living organisms.
Now, we did talk
about this--
slow down.
Now, is there
any scientific
reason
why we can't
replicate
our furry little
friend here?
It's too complex.
Even if every atom
was correctly decoded
and recreated,
it won't replicate
living neural activity--
too much theory.
Let's just try it
and see what happens.
Go on.
You!
Can you run
this thing?
No. I'm...I'm new here.
I do know how to work
the coffee machine, though.
Frick and frack,
can you clowns
do it?
You--do it.
Unless the girls here
change their minds.
Please, Scott,
don't...
See how much
he loves you?

Ow!
[Drops cages]
[Hissing]
Frick, frack, out!
Kat: Calm down, Scott.
Ok, this was premature...
We never held out hopes to
replicate living organisms.
What about human tissue?
Well, soon.
You led me to believe
that we were ready.
You promised.
Now I'm gonna ask you...
Once again, when?
I'll think about it.
"I'll think about it."
Scott: Do you realize how long
"I'll think about it" means...
To someone
who needs surgery
with replicated tissue?
Do you?!
You've...
You've been cooped up
in this lab for too long.
You have lost touch
with the world's needs.
Now, if it were you...
Would you want to wait?
If you needed...
Reconstructive
surgery?
Hmm? Hmm?
If I cut her up...
Deep...right here...
Would you understand
the unbelievable
urgency then?
Hmm?
Hmm?
Answer me!
No!
I'll kill you!
Aah!
Ha ha ha!
Ooh! Ohh!
The replikator project
is over, Scott.
We're gone.
Get the disks.
The disks stay here.
Ciao, girls.
[Rock music plays]
Hyaaah!
Hey, Victor.
Yeah?
Hey, that street kid of yours
got out real fast, man.
Ludo?
No. No.
He's in steyer.
It sure looked
like him to me.
Fight at the night scene,
got away.
It wasn't ludo.
He's in steyer.
I was just
over there, ok?
Yeah, sure, Victor.
He did it.
He actually did it.
Ludo ludovic.
They can't seem
to rehabilitate you,
can they?
A shame, really.
You're so gifted.
What are you doing here?
You can get out tonight,
pursuing science
at zyklor tomorrow.
Well, thank you, Scott,
but I already
have a job.
I don't think so.
Bar design's
a crime scene.
It's an empty shell.
And you can
make me free.
Fortuitous, isn't it?
[Chuckles]
Let me get this
straight.
I come and work
for you at zyklor,
or stay here and...
Rot in this cell.
I don't know, Scott.
Sounds like about
the same thing to me.
Do you know your friend
John's working for US?
That's right.
Tch.
I'd hate to make him
responsible
for the failure of
our replikator program.
No.
No. Scott.
He--he doesn't know
anything, Scott.
Hey...
Hey!
Heck, yeah.
Hey.
Bor-ing.
Here, how about this?
Uh-uh-uh.
Whoo!
[Cocks shotgun]
You're sick.
Well, she's no Tina show.
Get out.
She's no high towers.
Hey, have a nice time,
you pervert?
Can you spare some change?
[Dog whimpers]
Uh-uh-uh.
Not so fast.
What are you gonna
give me in return?
Hmm?
Oh. Ha ha! Ha!
No way, mister.
This is my dog.
Why do you care?
Why do you care?!
What--hey, look--
that's my dog!
You come back
with my dog!
Now what?

Valiant.
Woman: Valiant?
Yeah.
Listen to me and
listen carefully.
Yeah!
I just saw ludovic
on the street.
No--
did you really think
you could get away
with this?
I've had it with you
and your...
Liberal bleeding-heart
judges--
ludo ludovic
happens to be
resting comfortably
in steyer prison--
steyer prison!
Did you really think
you could get away
with this?
I know that
for a fact!
Ludo, it seems
you've been, uh...
Getting around lately.
What do you mean?
Why, I ask myself...
Is it a long-lost twin?
Is there a ludo look-alike
fan club?
That's what
I was afraid of.
Look...
I don't know
what went wrong.
All I know is,
he's a monster.
You got to help me
get out of here,
Victor.
You got to help me
find him.
Announcer: Citizens are frantic
as an unidentified fashion fiend
cuts a swath of destruction
through town.
The foppish criminal counts
theft, violence,
and snappy getaways
among his anti-civic traits.
The justice channel says,
keep your eyes open
and report this man
if you see him.
Remember,
the justice channel
is your pulse
on public security.
Ah, Victor. Good.
About the inquiries
you've made
in the last 24 hours...
Your request for
most recent financial
statements
and listing of the board
of directors of zyklor...
Denied.
Request for
transport log sheet
and activity report
for the last 2 weeks
from zyklor security...
Denied.
Request to reopen
sealed government files
which document
the purported activities
of one Byron Scott,
1996-2004...
Denied.
Oh, and one final
directive.
As of tomorrow morning,
you will be removed from
the biodesign investigation
and assigned elsewhere.
You may, if you wish,
file a grievance with our
internal board of inquiry,
which will,
I can assure you,
receive my prompt
and serious attention.
Good-bye, Victor.
You know of anyone
who might want
to do this?
An old boyfriend,
perhaps?
No.
Ok. We'll file
a report,
but these cases
usually go unsolved.
Kathy moskow?
Yes?
You guys
finished?
Yeah. Basically.
I'm Victor.
I know.
You arrested ludovic
years ago
on that forgery thing.
Ludo's in trouble.
Again.
Except this time,
I don't think
he did it.
Well, so far,
I agree with you.
Why should we trust him?
Because I think
you two may be
in more trouble
than you think
you are.
Kathy?
Boo!
Ha ha ha ha!
What's the matter,
were you expecting
somebody else? Ha ha!
What have you
done with her?
Relax.
I haven't touched her.
I just came to ask you
one question.
When you first saw me...
I could tell
you were afraid.
Is that because
I was the same...
Or because
I was different?
I don't know.
Look at me, ludo.
What do you see?
Because I see you...
Pathetic, weak,
afraid.
And then I realize...
I'm the one who's suited
for this world,
and you're the freak.
Ciao, ludo.

This is so unfair.
Thanks.
I'll call you
as soon as I know
anything.
No. I'm gonna
go with you.
I can't just sit
around here--
no. No. You go
with your family
in the skirts.
They've been informed.
I've got enough to do
keeping my eyes
on these guys.
You'll call me?
I promise.
Ok.
Bye.
Didn't think this one
would make bail.
Parolee ludovic
traveling.
P.A.: Ludovic traveling.
You live here?
Yeah. Why?
This place
is worse than jail.
It was a joke.
Just a joke.
I've got somebody here
I think can help US.
John?
Hi.
That's for all the trouble
you've been causing.
Again.
Ludo.
Is this gonna be ok?
Ok?
This is gonna
be great.
Chief.
What can I do for you?
I don't know, Scott.
What can you do?
Expect a positive attitude
from all
my associates, chief.
I've got a cop with
a positive attitude, Scott.
His name is Valiant,
and he's following the trail
of your incompetence
right to US.
One damn killing
after another,
no replikator online,
no commerce, no confidence--
not in you or your promises.
Your cop
is your problem.
As for the replikator,
it will be up
and running
soon.
I've heard too many
fairy tales, Scott.
You told me you were ready.
You're not.
Shame, really.
Changed your mind.
Wrong.
Ludovic
is still in prison.
Ha. Ha ha.
Think, Scott.
Think the unthinkable.
Think...replikator.
You're a copy?
No. I'm better.
Stronger.
Superior.
You and I think alike.
Your replikator works.
Till your flunkies
trashed it.
Sorry. It was
just business.
Anyway, I've come here
to make a deal.
I'm listening.
Put me in charge
of your replikator program.
What are you getting
in return?
Nothing.
Nothing?
What about your
schizophrenic other?
I'll Bury him.
In that case...
We have a deal.
Bonsoir.
Ludo!
Ha ha ha!
Your shadow...
Swipes Kat's
back-up tapes
and tries again,
unsuccessfully,
to get the replikator
to work. Why?
'Cause he's an egomaniac
and he wants to
recreate himself.
Well, maybe he's just
trying to understand
what makes him
different.
Maybe he's lonely.
You're kidding, right?
He needs a replikator
that works, so...
Zyklor.
Him and Scott.
What a nightmare.
[Whistles]
Would ya look at this.
Huh.
Yes.
You kids ever do
any...Cryptic crosswords?
My wife used to do 'em
all the time, bless her.
You know, I've been
looking into these...
Extremist...gangs...
[Sighs]
Ok.
If you do a cryptic
of lord falcon,
you get...Byron Scott.
So?
There's more to this Scott guy
than meets the eye.
Yeah. Yeah. Here.
"The secretary for
industry and technology,
Byron Scott,
"was named as
a key suspect in
the illegal distribution
of the drug virtualitol."
Wow. And this was
10 years ago.
There's more.
"Cleared of all allegations,
Byron Scott issued
a statement
through his lawyer."
You recognize him?
The lawyer?
Yeah.
No.
That's chief reinhart!
You mean the cops
that attacked biodesign
were working for Scott?
Somebody wanted to
take your replikator
program out, so--
why would the chief
be involved?
Cops covering for cops
covering for zyklor?
What a mess.

Hmm?
Here.
Ah, ah, ah, ah,
ah, ah!
Come here, baby.
Ludo, this is not
some rotten

Ow!
He's out there functioning
contrary to the rules
of any science I understand.
Ok, it's just like
the mouse, remember?
So maybe he's on
the same edge,
some sort of freaky
balance between
forces that can't hold
a pattern for any time,
an accident just waiting
to fall apart.
[Tina screams]
Ludo's double has
brought the replikator
to a very sophisticated
level.
Why? What's Scott
trying to do?
Maybe I could go back
and drop in a virus,
buy some time.
No way.
You are
persona
non grata
at zyklor.
I could do it.
What if they see you?
They won't.
No one works late
at the lab.
Ok, but you be careful.
I'm gonna meet you back here.
In an hour.
Announcer: Intersect video
catches killer escaping
moments after murder
of Tina show.
Mayhem marks the high towers
as ludo ludovic,
already a suspect
in the slaying of
Cecilia masters,
roamed free on bail
and not in jail.
Tina, star of stage and vr,
was stabbed to death
during a private performance.
Intersec asks you
to report this man.
The justice channel asks,
isn't it time to replace
the liberal bleeding hearts
running our parole boards?
Zyklor. The tower
is a back up.
It's also the most
secure place
in the complex.
Intersec figures if...
That's where he's gonna
hold out if he's under attack.
Wow.
It's almost like
he knew this was
gonna happen.
Hmm. It's just
what it's like.
Be vigilant.
This calm can be
very deceiving.
Keep it running.
I got one more thing
I still gotta do.
Jeez.
Come on, John.
Working late, John?
How ironic.
You'll make
a fine specimen.
Surprise, Scott.
[Knock on window]
You're working late,
Valiant.
Oh, yeah. Ha ha.
You, too, huh?
Come up to my office.
Uh, sure.
News flash, inspector.
Tonight we arrest
Byron Scott for
the biodesign murders.
Just like that.
Your evidence supports
a...Parallel investigation.
You were right.
The man is dangerous.
It's time to take him.
I see.
We don't necessarily
expect
zyklor security forces
to respect lawful authority.
It could get...Messy.
Computer: Replication
program failure.
Check for peripheral
software area.
Stand by.
Stand by.
Replication program failure.
Check for peripheral
software error.
Oh!
Do it again.
Replication error...
Test sequence activated.
Check for peripheral...
Stand by.
Software error.
Stand by.
Replication program failure.
Check for peripheral
software error.
Yeah, it's me.
[Sighs]
Leave a message.
Maybe I'll get back
to you. Ha ha.
Hi. It's me.
Where are you guys?
Um, John went to the lab
to fix things,
and he hasn't
come back.
I can't wait anymore.
So I'm gonna go after him.
Ok? Thanks.
Look! I don't want
to be the one to tell Scott
that this isn't working!
Try something different!
4 replicants.
4 failures.
They're guessing.
How long?
5...6 minutes.
And then they die.
You're sitting
in my chair.
Kathy: Ludo!
Computer: Warning.
Zyklor security
periphery breached.
[Gasps]
Hello, Kat.
Closing in
on the tower.
This is
a power play, ok?
I mean, if they
take out Scott,
they control
the replikator.
Ok, I'm goin'
after Kat. Go!
We meet on the
perimeter at 3:45.
All right?
On the perimeter.
Go save the girl!
What am I
supposed to feel?
I don't know.
What do you feel?
I feel sick!
We invented
the replikator, Kathy.
These...
Are our children.
And I will not let
humans destroy them.
What are you gonna do?
Whatever it takes.
But--
ciao,
Kat.
Computer: Warning.
Zyklor security
perimeter breached.
[Laughs]
[Alarm sounding]
P.A.: Byron Scott.
This is intersec.
You are under arrest.
Tell your security forces
to stand down
and give yourself up.
[Telephone rings]
Yes?
No.
Listen to me.
I am the falcon,
and I demand their
total annihilation.
Is that understood?
Ha ha ha!
Ooh-wah!
And again.
And again!
Ah ha ha ha ha ha!
How do you like being
buried alive, Scotty boy?
Stop it!
[Screeching]
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Ah ha ha ha ha!
Ludo!
We can work
together on this.
Just...get me
outta here!
[Mimicking] Outta here!
Get me outta here!
Ah ha ha ha ha ha!
Ah ha ha ha ha ha!
[Tinny sound]
Ha ha ha!
Stop, stop, stop!
Ah ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
How do you like
being buried alive?
Stop it!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
How do you like
being buried alive?
Stop it!
You got a lot of
good software.
[Tinny sound]
How do you like being
buried alive, Scotty boy?
Ludo!
[Crying]
[Coughing]
Appears you have
a...
Standoff on your
hands, chief.
On the contrary,
I have Mr. Scott
exactly where I want him.
I think the situation
would be best served
if you intervene
as our negotiator.
So, you get to play
the hero again.
P.A.: Byron Scott,
this is intersec.
We are sending in
a negotiator.
Hold your fire.
That doesn't
sound right.
Look!
I'm gonna
follow him.
No--
stay here.
Stay here.
Hello!
Byron Scott,
this is intersec.
We are sending in
a negotiator.
Hold your fire.
Chief: Get me demolitions.
I want that tower
blown sky high.
Mr. Scott.
Hold your fire.
Press the button.
What about
the inspector?
Oh, he'll get
a company funeral.
Move it, Victor!
Move it, move it!
...buried alive?
Stop it!
Give it to me.
Aah!
Victor!
Did you really think
you could take over, chief?
[Gunshot]
Announcer: Sunrise at 6:43
eastern standard time.
Radiation hazard
as of 7:32.
Remember to wear
protective clothes
and avoid sunlight.
Today's high...
Man has become...
Immortal.
[Laughing]
All right, brother!
Ha ha ha!
You wanna play?
Ha ha ha!
All right, let's go!
You're not down yet, huh?
Ok, ludo,
let's see if you
got the guts to end
the beginning, huh?
This is the end
of the game, ludovic.
Don't do this to US.
No escape, ludovic.
And you're comin' down
with me!
What do I do now?
Huh?
[Shouting]
What do I do now?!
Announcer: Intersec
stops insurrection,
seeking arrest
of Byron Scott.
Scott's real identity
is lord falcon,
leader of the new destiny
underground.
Falcon was turning
replication technology
to the production
of a superior race.
Falcon was also named
in the murder
of Cecilia masters,
having framed ludo ludovic
in the killing.
Intersec's Victor Valiant
barely escaped the battle,
but verifies ludovic's
innocence of charges
against him.
Ludovic's crimes,
perpetrated by his
twin replicant,
killed in a horrific
helicopter crash.
Valiant is said to have
declined intersec's offer
to assume the mantle
of chief of police.
Remember, enter lotto-justice
and win great prizes--
a vacation for two
in the city in daylight,
the
ciao, Tina,
in memoriam
vr pack,
or a frog climbing
a cracked vase.
[Footsteps]
Good morning.
Did we come
at a bad time?
No, it's all right.
No, it's all right.
Thank you, Victor.
That's very sweet.
Thank you, Victor.
That's very sweet.
Victor: Here's to...
The unemployed.
I have an idea.
How about
if we all go...
To another city
and start over?
All the decent
cities are halfway
around the world.
And what if...
Money wasn't
a problem?
You didn't.
No.
No. I live
by the rules now.
Good.
Well, I broke one.
It's the replikator disk.
Always back up
your work.
Well, what do you
say, uh...
I'd say we're
back in business.
Hey. Will this
buy me in?
Partners?
All: Partners!
Ludo: Now, one thing
bothers me.
He must have known
he was falling apart,
right?
So when he perfected
the replication
program--
Kathy: Why didn't he
replicate himself over again?
Ludo: I would have.
Victor: Oh, no.
Not again.
