Well, for that kind of money I'd take a few punches

I know that. Hey Jordan, this is uh this is clean

I mean it's way too clean.

Looking at it

Same as the last story
Any motives?

None

None

How was he killed?

Strangled with the motem cord

How convenient

Well don't finish up here

and put your report on my desk by tomorrow

Salinas, did you kill him?

No

Get your greasy fingerprints off the evidence

This is sick

You put that down. That's mine. I spit in it

Tastey

How'd you get in here?

Well the city's finest arts are fine

except for you, Jordan

Phillips, I'd rather do the dead guy

Ow shit's gotta hurt

You know she hasn't changed a bit

I'll let myself out

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Okay

Okay
Hello? Hello, is anybody home?

Hello? Hello, is anybody home?

Hi Newman, it's slick

yeah you know I got pulled over
driving through that school zone again

You know there's always
a squad car parked behind the car -- cafeteria

Now you tell me

have you picked up the latest copy -- oh let me guess

Cyber thoughts? You mean,
cyber thoughts from cyber morons?

Yes, this is the best one yet

I agree. Of course you agree

Zeiss? What computer geek

Zeiss? What computer geek
I agree

I agree

I agree
I'd like to ask you -- ooh -- a personal question

I'd like to ask you -- ooh -- a personal question

Home brother, I've read about stuff like this

of course enlightenment

What level of enlightenment

Oh good I thought he was gonna ask if I was gay

Level six

You must have a close bond with MICA.
Well, naturally.

I bet you are you little freaker

I've only... attained level

Converts?

you know there were those
three in college, but -- no, no

10 million, at least

you heard me cyber stud. 10 million

Not including the extraterrestrials,

Manuel Noriega, the
gravediggers, the Laker Girls,

anyone involved with the Teamsters

whatever

[Music]

[Music]

Hmm. Thank God, I'm starving

How's the report coming?

well, the captain's gonna get an
in-depth report on nothing. In five

okay

Start with what we know. Nothing.
That's what we know

None of the victims have any criminal records,

No history of drug or alcohol usage,

background check shows no

family or geographic connection
between victims,

and their educational backgrounds are varied

Plus no common hangouts

We know it's not gender motivated
since three of the victims are males

No prints no strands of hair nothing

I can't find a pattern to the timing
of the murders either

Only common length is a twisted
way this psycho chooses to leave his calling card

Or hers

Doesn't mean crossed arms

A sign?

Sacrifice?

Some type of ancient burial ride

You may be on to something

Could be. I'll call the archaeology
department tomorrow

and I'll have them pull some reference materials

Great. What about the coroner's report?

Great. What about the coroner's report?
tomorrow

tomorrow

phone mail records?

Not yet

Here. This one's for you

Life in paradise soon await you

You mean this isn't it?

yes a little cold, huh? Sure, sure

yes a little cold, huh? Sure, sure
[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

he was such a charming boy

Thoughtful, gallant I can't imagine why
anyone would want to kill such a nice young man

What are you doing here?

My job

Mrs. Nash, thank you for coming by
today you've been very helpful

Do you really think so?

Yes, I do

Well, thank you

We're done. You can go now

Oh

So, what have you got?

Nothing you can have

You missed me. Admit it

Well, no drugs or alcohol in the blood stream.
Death is officially by strangulation

Well, no drugs or alcohol in the blood stream.
Death is officially by strangulation
Big surprise

Big surprise

Same as the last three

Jordan, what is he doing here?

He wants a statement

No kidding

Have either of you hotshots
checked out the connection with bulletin boards

What about it?

All the victims talked on the CYECOM

And how do you know that?

Well, I look through their mail

Suffering with police evidence

no let's call the thorough investigation

all right, genius. Who's our killer?

okay I think your killers a cyber stalker

A what?

Don't you people read the paper?

I think your killer stalking his victims
through his computer

And just what makes you so sure?

It's not so uncommon this guy
probably has no social life

He spends all his time on the computer

So how does that prove anything?

So how does that prove anything?
I told you they're all members of CYECOM

I told you they're all members of CYECOM
Yeah? Well, they all had cable too

Yeah? Well, they all had cable too

Yeah? Well, they all had cable too
Oh, come on Jordan think about it
for a minute it makes sense

Oh, come on Jordan think about it
for a minute it makes sense

These people form whole communities
they bond with each other talk with each other

Just like we do over a cup of coffee

It's easy to get personal information

Okay, but why what's the motive?

Well, that's not my problem it's yours

Don, this story is not ready to go to print yet

It will be by tomorrow I just want to get a statement

It will be by tomorrow I just want to get a statement
Not today, buddy

Not today, buddy

Okay, fine

Come on, Jordan

I can't

Just give me the coroner's report. What's that?

Living Decay

You took the dead guy's comic

Yep. Of course not I picked it up at the news stand

it's got some pretty weird stuff in here
I thought it might give us a lead

You're serious?

You're serious?
Yeah. I know it's loose but who knows. You read it

Yeah. I know it's loose but who knows. You read it

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]
Be still. You have lied about your allegiance

[Music]

MICA has shown you the way you refused to see

I'm sorry you could not envision
the new world society

Do not fear the gathering

MICA awaits you

[Music]

I am pleased. This strength, your conviction

You are now a level four disciple

When guidance is necessary, I will instruct you

Take a look

I have

Look at what that little prick wrote down

Bet CYECOM's not too happy about it

Bet CYECOM's not too happy about it
Oh, and get this. He wants to meet with us

Oh, and get this. He wants to meet with us

What does he want?

He says he has some info in the case, and he's pretty

insistent about it, so I think we
ought to check it out

Why doesn't he just waltz in here
and tell us like he usually does

Apparently it has something to do with
the CYECOM connection and he has to

show it to us on his computer

Interesting. Let's go

This better be good

Still got your key?

Shut up

[Music]

[Music]

oh my god

[Music]

Check the door, check the door. Check the door!

Damnit

Jord, right

Freeze, police!

Chill out, Jordan. Come on, we lost him

Chill out, Jordan. Come on, we lost him
Damnit

Chill out, Jordan. Come on, we lost him

System's damaged

So what does that mean? Can you still get through

No, he must have run a virus on it.
Everything's gone

What about backups?

They've all been erased

Great. Kevin's gonna love this

Jordan, I really don't think you should doing

Jordan, I really don't think you should doing
I can't leave him like this

I can't leave him like this

[Music]

No, I can't now. No!

No, I can't now. No!
[Music]

Yeah, I know

Yeah, I know
[Music]

[Music]
yeah, I know

I've been working on this all night long

and as far as I can tell your killer
didn't even breathe on any of his victims

and as far as I can tell your killer
didn't even breathe on any of his victims
victims much less leave anything
behind that we can use

victims much less leave anything
behind that we can use

I mean there's no hair

I mean there's no hair
there's no prints there's not a trace of anything

there's no prints there's not a trace of anything

You know, the Emmys report that

really doesn't help too much either

They weren't all killed in the same way
except for number five and Phillips

Sorry, Jordan. And even then you know they

weren't killed with the same gun

So really unless we go through all this

evidence with a mass spectrometer, I

doubt we're gonna find anything else

doubt we're gonna find anything else
There's just nothing there

There's just nothing there

What about the slugs? Can they be traced?

I doubt it they're common american-made jobs you

can get them at any fruit stand

Has captain heard all this?

Not unless your office is bugged

Not unless your office is bugged
Okay, you need to get this to him

Okay, you need to get this to him

Give what to him?

Just a little light reading, Cap.
See you guys later. Thanks

mm-hmm

look Jordan I'm sorry

but what were you two doing there?

Well you see Captain. We walked in --

Well you see Captain. We walked in --
Shut up

Shut up

Phillips called. He told us he had
gathered some information on the case

Why didn't you have him come down here?

The information he wanted us to see
was on his computer

The information he wanted us to see
was on his computer
It was the CYECOM stuff he wrote about

It was the CYECOM stuff he wrote about

I told him not to print it

What? What did you say?

I said I told him not to print the
information about CYECOM

I said I told him not to print the
information about CYECOM
You mean, you knew about the
lead prior to the printing?

You mean, you knew about the
lead prior to the printing?

At the time, we didn't think it was a lead

At the time, we didn't think it was a lead
well you were wrong

well you were wrong

[Music]

[Music]

Oh, okay. That's it. The reports on your desk

Thanks for waiting

No problem

I'm thinking of going to JD's tonight
for a drink. Maybe I'll get lucky

Be careful. There are a lot of crazies out there

Thanks. I'll see you tomorrow

[Music]

[Music]

Need some help?

No thanks. I'll be fine

Suit yourself

I think I do need some help

Sure thing

Sounds like your battery is on the
fritz. Better jump it

Got some cables in the back

Thanks

[Music]

[Music]
Don't move. In life there are two roads.
You have chosen the wrong one

Don't move. In life there are two roads.
You have chosen the wrong one

I will prepare you for the right path

I envy you

You will interface with MICA before the day is out

I stay and convert the masses

It is time

You have done well

It is time for you to ascend to level 5

You have reached the bridge of your awareness

Come to me

You are ready for greater things

It is time. You are not alone.

Find a powerful ally to walk with you

[Music]

you have to remember that just because

it's printed in the newspaper doesn't

make it the gospel truth

I know, but I know all the people who died

How did you know them?

They were my friends

We couldn't find a common link between

the victims. How could you know all of them?

Well, CYECOM. We talked on the

computer bulletin boards

What if the newspaper is right?

Unbelievable

I'm afraid

I'm afraid
Have you given any personal

Have you given any personal

information over the computer your address or

information over the computer your address or
No

information over the computer your address or

Okay, then don't worry about it. Keep your
door locked and be careful in the computer

Alright. I'll get the report. I'll be right back

I'm sorry

I really am afraid

Don't be sorry. He's just
frustrated with this case

I don't think he buys the CYECOM connection

Do you buy it?

In light of what you've told us, I might

Listen. Here's my card. Has my number on it

If you suspect anything, I want you to give me a call

I'm here if you need me

Thank you

You could have been a little more sympathetic

What

never mind

Okay, now look. All we got to do is cross

reference to the bulletin board and we

got our killer

It's not that easy

Why not?

Do you knowhow many people talk on CYECOM?

It's an International Board. It would take

forever to interview everyone who's ever

logged on and talked to anyone of our victims

logged on and talked to anyone of our victims
Okay, now. Wait a minute we're
on the same team, right?

Okay, now. Wait a minute we're
on the same team, right?

Are we really?

I'll put Macey on it. Maybe he'll find something

Damn it, Jordan

That's why I think it's the best one, Jason

I understand your interest in

Cyberthoughts. It is truly one of the more

intriguing comics. However, I like a

series with a bit more spice. If you know what I mean

What?

Oh, come on. You know I like my comics
the way I like my women

nasty have you ever read Future Flesh Wars?

Of course

Yeah well, you can keep all

that pseudo-intellectual crap. I mean I'm

that pseudo-intellectual crap. I mean I'm
into sci-fi and stuff, but
Flesh Wars is my favorite

into sci-fi and stuff, but
Flesh Wars is my favorite

I completely understand

I have a valuable collection of

pornographic comics and toys myself

really why haven't you ever told me

really why haven't you ever told me
I thought you're only into that
Cyberthoughts crap

I thought you're only into that
Cyberthoughts crap

Would you like to see my collection?

drink a few beers? I have some

films we can watch I think you would like

Cool. When?

Tonight

Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe I have the wrong
address. I'm looking for a guy named Newman

I'm Newman. Come on in

Wait a minute. I mean, what's going on here

Are you surprised? Disappointed?

Well, yes. I mean, uh, no

[Music]

[Music]

Wine?

Sure

I hope you don't mind my forwardness

You know I really couldn't help myself

Well, I certainly didn't expect this

I've said some pretty personal
stuff to you on CYECOM

I had no idea you were up check

Follow me

[Music]

Undress

[Music]

Mmm. This is happening

[Music]

Do you trust me?

Do you trust me?
[Music]

[Music]

I want some more wine

You are a disgrace to MICA with
your petty human lust

Come in. Newman

Are you busy?

Well, I'm on my way to a meeting right now

Aw, okay. I'm sorry

Aw, okay. I'm sorry
No, it's okay. Come on in. Is everything all right?

No, it's okay. Come on in. Is everything all right?

I'm not sure

I had an interesting conversation with
a guy on the computer last night

And?

it's probably just a jerk but I
saved the conversation,

and I wanted you to read it

Future Flesh Wars let's get together

and roleplay. What is your address?

This is sick. so then what happened?

I'm got scared. I logged off

I think those subversive comics are dangerous

Not all of them. Some of the comics are good

Oh, yeah? Like which ones?

We all read Cyberthoughts

Who's we?

All of us who talked on the fantasy bulletin boards

So you discuss this specific comic
with everyone on the board?

Of course

Including the murder victims?

Yeah

These damn laws are so generic.
I don't have any titles

These damn laws are so generic.
I don't have any titles
Do you read any other comics? Living decay?

Do you read any other comics? Living decay?

I only read Cyberthoughts

Really? what's that about?

Well, in the last days MICA
will interface with humanity

and create a new world society

I'm not sure I follow you. What is MICA?

I thought you'd be interested

You're right. I bought this comic book

It will help you understand

Okay, I really have to run to this meeting,

but I do want to talk to you about this later

Read that first

Who is it?

Who is it?
Who do you think?

Who do you think?

Come in

Jordan, be careful. That stuff's addictive

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of

I brought dinner

Stuff is morbid

They all are

the premise seems to be there's some
God-like artificial intelligence

named MICA that makes people computer-like

What's MICA?

He's the Master Intelligence
Computer Assimilator

Whew, that's deep

Yeah, there's also this warrior-like
character named Zeiss

He's the leader of these
half-human half-computer people

These people need to get out more

You're telling me? Newman said
all the victims read it too

So what you're saying is that our
murderer thinks he's the Zeus guy

Zeiss

Look at this

Oh my god

In the comic book, when you reach a
new computer level you go into these pods,

and you cross your arms in allegiance to MICA,

and he transforms you

So who's ever reading this comic book
may know something about the killer

Yeah, but why aren't they coming forward?

Well, it's because Phillips was killed

Well, it's because Phillips was killed
I mean, they're either probably scared, or if

I mean, they're either probably scared, or if
they're not they just don't want to get

they're not they just don't want to get
involved

involved

Yeah, I doubt it if he did it, he'd be
broadcasting his guilt

Yeah, I doubt it if he did it, he'd be
broadcasting his guilt
But he might know something

But he might know something

[Music]

Hey, buddy. What are you looking at?

Why don't you get out of here, and go
home to your family

Yeah

Well, what do we got here?

Hey, last time I checked this is a
free country.What are you doing back here?

Looking Sisters, Debbie and Her Dog.
Oh, well, well, well

Nice little interlude with three
boys.Very young boys

Nothing in here violates any city ordinances

These kids aren't 18

You don't know that

You don't know that
Yeah. You're right, I don't

Yeah. You're right, I don't

So, what do you say we just shut down your
little freak factory until we can check it out?

What do you think, Captain?

You're right, Salinas. I shouldn't take
more than a couple of weeks

You're right, Salinas. I shouldn't take
more than a couple of weeks
Okay, okay, I get it. What do you want?

Okay, okay, I get it. What do you want?

We're gonna haunt one of your customers as our man

Wow. You guys are a couple rocket scientists

That really narrows it down, doesn't
it? To what, hundreds?

That's right

That's right
Hey

Hey

We want your database

Where's your warrant?

We came to take what we need

You don't have the balls

Now, one more time. We want your database

I'm gonna sue you for police harassment

I'm gonna sue you for police harassment
Oh, yeah? Well, here. Let me give you a reason to

Oh, yeah? Well, here. Let me give you a reason to

You won't live to tell about it

Give me

Quiet as it's kept, big boy

There are a lot of unhappy people out
there I just make them happy

Oh, yeah right

That is right! I just run a circus for adults

That is right! I just run a circus for adults
Yeah, and you're the ringmaster

Yeah, and you're the ringmaster

That is right too. You know it's not just perverts
and where does that come in here

There's a lot of fine upstanding
individuals who just want to get away

Bet half the people you know are into my stuff

Not likely

Gentlemen

You do not understand that there is a river
flowing out there that you will never stop

You don't understand that because
you're not even on the boat

You two are nothing. You're nothing but a
couple of cheeseball pawns

on the chess board of life, trying so hard
to enforce a bunch of laws

that are nothing! Just like you

that are nothing! Just like you
Now, you come on. You level with me, Captain

Now, you come on. You level with me, Captain
You can't tell me that there
aren't times that you'd

You can't tell me that there
aren't times that you'd
like to take a little swing on the old trapeze

like to take a little swing on the old trapeze

You can't tell me that you

weren't sick and tired of your life

You can't tell me that your sick and tired of

your sagging menopausal wife

and your neurotic, stupid pot-mark kids who don't

know anything but how to work a remote

and your cheap suits when you're

bad ties, and your stinking aftershave

You're sick and tired of your
pathetic, pseudo-important job!

The truth hurts, doesn't it? Captain

Stand him up

Hey, you can't do this

You guys are gonna be in jail for this

[Music]

[Punching & yelling]

Get him! Come on

[Cheering]

Get him!

Captain

Alright. Boot it up, ass wipe

Well, I've done what I can do

Ball's in your court now. Look at me. Look at me

Do we understand each other, Officer?

Yeah. Yeah, I got you

Do you consider humans lower life-forms?

Of course not

Why not? Are they perfect?

No

Do they make mistakes?

Yes

Then, by your own admission, they do commit errors

Of course

Then what makes them the higher life-form?

Ants are efficient workers

They don't take what isn't theirs

They work as a collective for the betterment of all

Perhaps they're the higher life-form

But they're insects. Do you think ants are

higher forms of life than you?

No. But humans aren't at the top either

What is?

The answer is right in front of you.
What is perfect? Is always right?

There's no fluctuation of emotion.
It's always available

I don't know

Yes, you do. And you can have
your dinner when you've answered correctly

The computer

Very good

But you're human. Do you think
something is above you?

Not above. With

I don't understand

Yes you do. And you will

Here

[Music]

Come. You have done well

Do not lose faith. Be patient with the new convert

Do not lose faith. Be patient with the new convert
[Music]

[Music]

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the
lord my soul to keep

If I should die before I wake, I pray
the lord my soul to take

[Music]

She will succumb to the trick

You have been chosen

Together, we will save humanity
from its inevitable self-destruction

Join me

Humanity has reached a point where
it can no longer regulate itself

Hunger, disease, war, and genocide have been the

overriding preoccupation of the race

The root of mankind's demise is lust
greed and self-promotion

Purification and the renewal of
emotion is the only solution

[Crying]

[Crying]
[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Let me go. I said let me go I can't take

this anymore I want to stand up

I can't let you go what else would you like

Some water

Alright

Newman. Please, put the gun down

I just wanted to stand up

Why are you lying to me? You don't have to lie to me

Newman, I'm sorry. I'm sorry

I didn't think you'd let me go

Newman, please. Please don't do this, Newman

Please, Newman, please. Don't do
this to me, please

Ahh!

[Music]

[Music]
Rise. Rise

[Music]

[Music]

What in the hell are you doing?

[Music]

You crazy bitch

You know this cop? That's probably the

reason why I just got my ass kicked!

What are you doing? Why are you doing this?

You, you trying to ease your own

guilty conscience by taking me down with you?

You kidnap a cop? You mental?

Come on! This makes one of our
little films look like nothing

That's it. That is it!

You loopy little bitch. I knew
that I should never--

Okay. Most of this list is first names or

code names like Firestar

Right. Any Jason's?

Yeah I got one. No last name, though

Alright, look. Run a check on the address

Address and phone number
belongs to a Marybeth Doden

Address and phone number
belongs to a Marybeth Doden
Here. Give me the number

Here you go

Okay, yes. Hi, this is John with a million

dollar sweepstakes, and your husband just

qualified for a grand prize. All I need

to do is verify his last name

What I have here is a Jason and
I can't quite make it out

Okay. Yes, okay I understand

Okay. Yes, okay I understand
All right, well, thank you

All right, well, thank you

That Jason's a little old lady. She uses a name as a

codename for on her computer

Great. All these are probably code names

Okay, look. We'll check on all the
addresses, all right?

I need the real names okay I need the addresses

and numbers for anyone whose name's

Jason, whose codename's Jason, or anything

that rhymes with Jason. All right?

We gotta find this guy

Okay he's gonna take a while I get
six pages worth of names there

Okay look just give me three

I must prepare Andy's body for the gathering

Now that he has been designated,

MICA will accept it

Do you mean God?

Nothing is as abstract as that

Pure information contained in a solid source

Once one taps into it, they're
perfected by its power

Power. What power?

Knowledge

Knowledge is power

Not a damn thing. What do you got?

Nothing yet. But I'm not there to list. Are you?

Hold the phone. I think I got something

What is it?

Well, wait. I'm cross-referencing with the

station database. There's something
familiar about this name

What's the name?

Jonas Baird

Okay, I know there's something familiar

Okay, I know there's something familiar
This guy's got a missing persons report out on him

This guy's got a missing persons report out on him

Found his car abandoned this morning

Check it out

Almost too simple

Hey, bud. This is Jonas. Leave a
message or don't call back

Here it is

Well, it says here that they found some
papers. Now where are they?

Yeah, well this is the guy, but he's not our killer

What are you talking about

This isn't the same conversation

What?

This isn't the same conversation. She doctored it

Newman had him go to her house

Maybe she dumped the car without checking it out

Names don't themselves, but but the
phone numbers the same as Newman's

Newman

Newman. New Humanity

Cyberthoughts

Damn, she was right under our nose the whole time

We need to report this

We need to report this
[Music]

[Music]

you have the authority to kill, but
you are fighting the wrong enemy

[Music]

[Music]
Andy was an unknown prophet

He had the vision, but he was not the one

You, Jordan, you are the one

You are under authority and with
authority. Do you understand?

You are under authority and with
authority. Do you understand?
[Music]

[Music]

Are you hungry?

Here

You have just experienced the first
stage of transformation

Soon you will begin to see your body
take on new forms as it is perfected by MICA

You will have authority over men now

You will be a leader for all to follow

I am so proud of you

You have the strength

Those other people they were weak

They were shown the way, but they could not see it

I understand human weakness

That is why I prepared their bodies

That is why I prepared their bodies
[Music]

We. You and I

We will assimilate higher than those
creatures. We understand

Are you ready?

[Car doors slamming shut]

There's an evil in the hearts of men

It will not always be that way

but for now mankind cannot help but destroy itself

wait here

Man, I don't like this. We need to get some back up

Man, I don't like this. We need to get some back up
Shut up Macy

Shut up Macy

[Gunfire]

Salinas. Oh

Shit. Gotcha

Don't do this. Don't do this

Sorry

Oh my god

God. No. Look at me Jordan. Come here, baby

Oh no no no. What have they done to you?

Oh my god

No, Jordan. Come on, baby. This ain't it

Jordan, what's wrong? You can tell me

This is Salinas. I love you. You
don't have to do this

I have the authority

He will be the next to join us in the gathering

You're not ready yet

[Music]

Bring him to me

[Crowd cheering]

[Cheering]

[Cheering]

[Music]

[Music]

Ahh

You will be next

I have subdued the prospect

Thank you for teaching me

What have you learned?

I know the way now. I have the
authority. I've accepted it

We're joined together. We are the same

You're the teacher, but I am the warrior

I have the authority now to decide who will
ascend to the stages of transformation

Give me your weapon

There can be no division between us

I will be your protector

You will enlighten the new prospect

I have waited for an ally, but you have much to learn

I know but you will show me

Newman!

Newman!
No!

No!

[Crying]

Wait --

Wait --
Ahh, I hate you! I hate you!

Ahh, I hate you! I hate you!

Come here. No, no, listen. It's
over! Yes, It's over

Come here. No, no, listen. It's
over! Yes, It's over
