Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - Empty Planet - full transcript

NATIONAL NEWS NETWORK.
HOW MAY I DIRECT YOUR CALL?

THERE WILL
BE AN EXPLOSION
THIS MORNING.

EXCUSE ME?

I SAID,
"THERE WILL BE

AN EXPLOSION
THIS MORNING."

A BOMB.
OH.

SORRY. DID YOU SAY
A...BOMB, SIR?

ON A BUS

IN THE CITY
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN.

GET MY MESSAGE OUT.

MESSAGE



THAT THIS IS ONLY
THE BEGINNING.

UNTIL IT IS BROUGHT BACK
UNDER CONTROL,

PEOPLE...WILL...DIE.

HEY! MORNIN', J.J.

HOW WAS YOUR...

WEEKEND?

YEAH?

HOMELAND SECURITY
JUST REPORTED A BOMB THREAT

FOR AN UNSPECIFIED
URBAN AREA.

IT WAS PHONED INTO
THE NATIONAL NEWS NETWORK.

I'LL CALL YOU BACK.
WHEN?

LAST HALF HOUR.

THEY NEED
A THREAT ASSESSMENT ASAP.

GET THE TEAM TOGETHER.
YEAH.



SORRY.
DID YOU SAY A BOMB, SIR?

ON A BUS
IN THE CITY
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN.

GET MY MESSAGE OUT.

MESSAGE

THAT THIS IS ONLY
THE BEGINNING.

UNTIL IT IS BROUGHT BACK
UNDER CONTROL,

PEOPLE...WILL...DIE.

IN THE LAST 20 MINUTES,

VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL THREATS
HAVE BEEN MADE

TO MOST OF THE COAST-TO-COAST
NEWS NETWORKS IN THE COUNTRY.

IT'S THE SAME INFORMATION
JUST SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WORDS.

SO IT'S NOT A RECORDED
MESSAGE OR SCRIPT.

DISPLAYS A MEASURE
OF CONFIDENCE.

HE COULD HAVE EASILY
JUST CALLED ONE NETWORK.

THIS GUY OBVIOUSLY
WANTS ATTENTION.

IT'S TYPICAL BEHAVIOR FOR
A PERSONAL CAUSE BOMBER.

ONE BOMB HAS A FINITE IMPACT--

IT'S JUST A LITTLE PACKAGE.
MAKE BUNCH OF PHONE CALLS,

THAT MAGNIFIES
MY EXPLOSION 100 TIMES.

WE HAVE THE ADDITIONAL
RECORDED CALLS BEING
GATHERED FOR ASSESSMENT.

NETWORKS SAY THE CALLS
CAME FROM A RESTRICTED NUMBER.

2 HAVE GIVEN LIMITED PERMISSION
TO TRAP AND TRACE THE LINES

IF WE SHOULD NEED TO.

YOU GOT A NEWS
ORGANIZATION TO AGREE
TO A TRAP AND TRACE?

WHO COULD SAY "NO" TO ME?

THIS IS NOT
LIKELY AL-QAEDA.

THEY DON'T CALL UNLESS
THEY BOMB SOMETHING.

AT HOMELAND SECURITY'S REQUEST,

THE NETWORKS ARE GOING
TO KEEP THIS QUIET

UNTIL WE'VE ASSESSED
THE SITUATION.

IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE A HOAX.
HIS VOICE IS CALM, RESIGNED.

HE'S MADE HIS DECISION.
HE'S COMMITTED TO IT.

PLUS HE SAID,
"THIS IS ONLY
THE BEGINNING."

THE BEGINNING OF WHAT?
AND HE ALSO SAID,

"UNTIL IT IS BROUGHT
BACK UNDER CONTROL..."

WHAT'S IT?
HE HAS TO CALL BACK.

AND IF THIS THREAT ISN'T
FOLLOWED BY AN EVENT,

NO ONE WILL TAKE ANY
FUTURE CALLS SERIOUSLY.

SO, WE'RE GOING TO TELL
THE MEDIA TO GO AHEAD
WITH THE STORY?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

THREATS LIKE THIS
WITH AN UNSPECIFIED LOCATION

WILL JUST CAUSE
TREMENDOUS PANIC.

THEN...WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

UNFORTUNATELY,
ALL WE CAN DO IS WAIT.

CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY CBS

ROBESPIERRE ONCE WROTE,

"CRIME BUTCHERS INNOCENTS
TO SECURE A PRIZE.

AND INNOCENCE STRUGGLES
WITH ALL ITS MIGHT AGAINST
THE ATTEMPTS OF CRIME."

SO SEATTLE'S
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN.

WE JUST NEED TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT IT IS.

AND OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD,

I CAN THINK OF GRUNGE MUSIC
AND OVERPRICED COFFEE.

THAT DOESN'T SEEM
SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH
FOR TERRORISM.

IT'S A PERSONAL CAUSE BOMBER.

IT ONLY NEEDS TO BE
OF SIGNIFICANCE TO HIM.

AGENT NICK CASEY,
SEATTLE FIELD OFFICE.

S.S.A. HOTCHNER.
HOW DO YOU DO?

THIS IS DR. SPENCER REID,
S.S.A. MORGAN,

AGENT JAREAU,
AND S.S.A. GIDEON.

HAVE YOU IDENTIFIED
THE DEVICE?

LOOKS LIKE A SMALL
PIPE BOMB ATTACHED
TO AN UMBRELLA.

I'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT
THOSE BOMB FRAGMENTS
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I'VE GOT BOMB SQUAD
EXPERIENCE.

AS SOON AS
THEY'RE CATALOGUED.

HOW MANY PEOPLE
WERE ON THE BUS

WHEN THE EXPLOSION WENT OFF?

25 INCLUDING THE DRIVER.

EXPLOSION KILLED 2--

THE DRIVER
AND A YOUNG MALE.

INJURED 7.

A PIPE BOMB
ON A CROWDED CITY BUS

AND ONLY 2 PEOPLE
ARE KILLED?

HAD A RELATIVELY
SMALL CHARGE.

THE 2 DEAD WERE FOUND
CLOSEST TO THE BOMB
AT THE TIME OF DETONATION.

SYLVIA COHEN,
AN ELDERLY PASSENGER,

FOUND THE UMBRELLA
ON THE FLOOR AT HER FEET.

SHE SAID THE YOUNG MAN
VOLUNTEERED TO TAKE IT
TO THE DRIVER FOR HER.

SHE'S PRETTY BROKEN UP
ABOUT IT.

HAVE YOU VETTED
AND DEBRIEFED

THE REST OF
THE PASSENGERS?

I HAVE THEIR INFO
IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO THEM.

DID YOU GET
THEIR POSITIONS?

SORRY

NO.

J.J., MAYBE YOU CAN
RECONTACT THE PASSENGERS
AND MAP THEIR LOCATIONS.

YEAH,
YOU GOT IT.

NOBODY SAW ANYONE
LEAVE THE UMBRELLA?

NO.

BUT, YOU KNOW,
FROM THE STYLE
IT LOOKS LIKE, UH,

REMOTE DETONATOR
ON THE CORNER
OVER THERE.

YOU SAY REMOTE?

LIMITED
FREQUENCY REMOTE.

LIKE A GARAGE DOOR OPENER?

THAT'S AWFULLY RISKY.

ANYONE ON THIS BUS
COULD HAVE ACCIDENTALLY
DETONATED THE BOMB

JUST BY PULLING OUT
OF THEIR GARAGE.

HE USED A REMOTE
FROM THE CORNER.

DID HE WANT TO BE CLOSE
ENOUGH TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED?

OR DID HE NEED TO BE
MECHANICALLY?

THOSE REMOTES
ARE PRETTY LIMITED.

HE PROBABLY NEEDED TO BE.

THEN HE MIGHT
HAVE BEEN NERVOUS.

MAYBE THAT MADE HIM
STAND OUT.

I COULD SET UP
A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

ENCOURAGING ANYONE WHO WAS
IN THE AREA OF THE TIME
OF THE BOMBING TO CONTACT US.

WELL, WE DO NEED
A PRESS CONFERENCE.

BUT IT'LL BE ABOUT
GETTING THIS UNSUB
TO CALL US.

WE'RE STILL TRYING
TO DETERMINE WHAT HAPPENED.

INITIAL REPORTS CALLED IT
A BOMB,

BUT SINCE NO ONE
HAS CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY,

WE CAN'T RULE OUT SOME KIND
OF MECHANICAL FAILURE.

SUPERVISORY SPECIAL AGENT GIDEON

WILL BE HANDLING ANY FUTURE
COMMUNICATION ON THIS INCIDENT.

IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION
THEY FEEL MIGHT BE HELPFUL,

PLEASE CONTACT S.S.A. GIDEON

AT THE NUMBER
APPEARING ON YOUR SCREEN.

WE WILL KEEP YOU POSTED
WITH FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS.

THANK YOU.

THINK THAT WAS ENOUGH?

IT WILL DEFINITELY STRESS HIM

THAT HIS MESSAGE
ISN'T GETTING OUT.

WHAT IF HE DOESN'T CALL?

REID AND MORGAN
ARE GOING OVER THE DEVICE.

MAYBE THEY'LL COME UP
WITH SOMETHING.

YOU KNOW, REID,

THE BOMBER COULD HAVE
BOUGHT THIS DETONATOR
AT ANY OLD TOY STORE.

YOU TAKE A REMOTE
CONTROL CAR,
PLANE, BOAT,

ATTACH A DETONATOR
LIKE THIS TO THE MOTOR,

TOUCH THE REMOTE, BOOM!

INSTANT FOURTH OF JULY.

HOW YOU DOING?
I'M DEREK MORGAN.

THIS IS
DR. SPENCER REID.
WE'RE WITH THE B.A.U.

SONDRA ATKINS.
CASS OR CASSY WORKS, TOO.

BOMB TECH.

IT'S A REALLY NICE
RECONSTRUCTION.

OH, IT WASN'T THAT HARD.
EXPLOSIVE WAS LIMITED

AND THE FRAGMENTS WERE
COMPARATIVELY EASY TO LOCATE.

OK. SO TELL ME
WHAT ELSE YOU GOT HERE?

WELL, BESIDES THE LIGHT
EXPLOSIVE LOAD,

HE USED DRY PEAS.

DRY PEAS.

HE CHOSE A SHRAPNEL
THAT WOULDN'T DO
TOO MUCH DAMAGE

OUTSIDE OF A LIMITED
RANGE. WHY?

WHAT'S HE DOING,
TRYING TO MINIMIZE
HIS KILLS?

IT ALSO HAS A PICTURE
ENGRAVED ON IT. RIGHT THERE.

IT'S ROBOT
WITH AN ARROW THROUGH IT.

ANTI-ROBOTICS?

DOESN'T THE CITY CENTER
BUS STOP USE SMART BUSES?

SMART BUSES?
YEAH.

HI-TECH BUSES THAT USE
TIME SENSORS ON THE BUSES
AND THE BUS STOPS

TO GIVE OUT ARRIVAL
AND DEPARTURE TIMES?

YEAH. WENT AUTOMATED
LAST YEAR.

SO HE'S
ANTI-TECHNOLOGY.

MAYBE.

HEY, DOLLFACE,
READY TO WORK
SOME MAGIC FOR ME?

CHALLENGE ME, YOU BEAUTIFUL,
BEHAVIORAL ANALYST.

DOMESTIC TERRORIST ACTIVITY
IN THE SEATTLE AREA.

UGH, MORGAN,
I SAID CHALLENGE ME.

DOESN'T EVEN
RAISE MY BLOOD PRESSURE.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST IS, LIKE,
RIPE WITH THE DISGRUNTLED.

YOU HAVE ANIMAL RIGHTS,
ZONING LAWS.

SPECIFICALLY
ANTI-TECHNOLOGY?

AHH, YES.
MY LOONEY OPPOSITES.

HERE'S SOMETHING! MONTH AGO.
TACOMA, WASHINGTON--

DISGUISED YOUNG GUY WENT CRAZY
ON A BUNCH OF COMPUTERS

AT A SCIENCE LAB,
SCREAMING,

"WE WILL SOON BE THE SLAVES
AND THE MACHINES WILL BE
THE MASTERS."

YIKES.

THAT WOULD
TOTALLY SUCK FOR ME.

I'M SURROUNDED IN HERE.

COME ON, WHAT ARE YOU
WORRIED ABOUT?

YOU GOT ME
TO PROTECT YOU.

HA! NOW THAT
GETS MY BLOOD UP.

I'M UPLOADING
THE VIDEO TO YOU NOW.

WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE,
GARCIA?

I ALSO FOUND AN ARTICLE
IN THE ST. DENNIS UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE NEWSPAPER.

LAST SPRING,
CLOSE TO THE SCHOOL,

AN INTERNET CAFE WAS ATTACKED.

SOMEONE CREATED
FLOPPY DISK BOMBS

THAT WENT OFF
IN 4 OF THE COMPUTERS.
NO ONE WAS INJURED.

WHO USES FLOPPY
DISKS ANYMORE?

RIGHT, AGENT BRAIN,

THAT WAS THE POINT
OF THE ATTACK.
THEY LEFT A NOTE,

"ULTIMATELY,
YOU'LL BE AS OBSOLETE

AS YOUR GRAVEYARD
TECHNOLOGY."

IS THE NOTE SIGNED?
"F.F.T. BRIGADE."

I'M FINDING
REFERENCES TO A FREEDOM
FROM TECHNOLOGY BRIGADE,

A FRINGE GROUP
THAT'S SHOWING UP LATELY.

ANYTHING ELSE
IN THE NOTE?

YEAH. THERE'S A...

NOT VERY ARTISTIC DRAWING
OF WHAT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE

A ROBOT WITH AN ARROW
THROUGH IT.

I'M UPLOADING IT TO YOU NOW.

YOU KNOW,
SEATTLE'S THE BIRTHPLACE

OF SOME OF THE MOST
CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY
IN THE WORLD.

WHERE IT BEGAN.

I THINK WE'RE READY
TO GIVE A PROFILE.

WE BELIEVE THE UNSUB
RESIDES IN SEATTLE.

ALL OF THE ATTACKS,
MOST OF WHICH HAVE JUST
INVOLVED PROPERTY DAMAGE,

HAVE TAKEN PLACE HERE,

AND THE TIMING AND LOCATION
INDICATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE AREA.

EVEN THOUGH HE ESCALATED
TO A LETHAL BOMBING TODAY,

WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT THAT
WAS NECESSARILY HIS INTENTION.

IN FACT, ANYONE NOT DIRECTLY
NEXT TO THE DEVICE RECEIVED
MINOR INJURIES.

SO WE THINK FEAR MAY HAVE
BEEN THE LARGER MOTIVE.

SO HE'S
A TERRORIST THEN.

HE IS. BUT THAT'S
TOO VAGUE OF A DESCRIPTION
FOR OUR PURPOSES.

DOUGLAS AND OLSHAKER
CATEGORIZE BOMBERS AS CRIMINAL,

GROUP CAUSE,
PSYCHOLOGICALLY DISORGANIZED,

AND PERSONAL CAUSE BOMBERS.

AND WE BELIEVE THIS GUY TO BE
A PERSONAL CAUSE BOMBER.

AND PERSONAL CAUSE
BOMBERS ARE MOTIVATED BY

AN UNDERLYING
EMOTIONAL CONFLICT.

IN AN INTERVIEW FROM PRISON,
THE UNABOMBER, TED KACZYNKSI,

ADMITTED THAT WHILE HE WAS
A GRADUATE STUDENT AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN,

HE STARTED HAVING FANTASIES
OF BECOMING A WOMAN.

EVEN GOT ON A LIST TO GET
A SEX-CHANGE OPERATION

BUT, DURING A MANDATORY
PSYCHOLOGICAL EXAM
PRIOR TO THE PROCEDURE,

HE CHANGED HIS MIND.
HE TOLD THE PSYCHOLOGIST
THAT HE MADE A MISTAKE.

FROM THAT MOMENT
THROUGH THE NEXT
3 DECADES OF HIS LIFE,

TED KACZYNKSI CARRIED
OUT A CAMPAIGN OF
ISOLATION AND MURDER.

THIS UNSUB IS MALE.
HE LIVES ALONE.

HE'S POSSIBLY SELF-EMPLOYED.

HE'S HIGHLY ORGANIZED.
HE'S METICULOUS.

AND HE'S VERY SMART.

AND HE SEEMS ODD
TO THOSE WHO KNOW HIM.

ANGRY, DISTANT,

PRONE TO SUDDEN VIOLENT RAGE.

THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF GUY
WHOSE NEIGHBORS WILL BE
SURPRISED TO FIND OUT

WHAT HE'S ARRESTED FOR.
THIS GUY'S NEIGHBORS WILL HAVE
NO TROUBLE BELIEVING IT.

TARGETS APPEAR
TO BE TECHNOLOGY,

BUT NOT THE HI-TECH VARIETY.
THE KIND OF TECHNOLOGY
WE'RE SURROUNDED BY.

IN A CITY THE SIZE OF
SEATTLE, WE'RE TALKING--

10,000 POSSIBLE TARGETS.

AGENT GIDEON,
YOU GOT A CALL
ON THE TIP LINE.

OK, GO AHEAD.

THIS IS AGENT GIDEON.

WHY DID YOU SAY NO ONE
TOOK RESPONSIBILITY?!

I'M SORRY.

WE CALLED THEM ALL--
ALL THE NETWORKS--

BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENED.
THEY DIDN'T TELL ANYONE?!

WELL, THE NETWORKS
ARE INCOMPETENT.

IF YOU NEED TO GET
YOUR MESSAGE OUT
OR YOU HAVE A DEMAND,

I'M IN A MUCH BETTER
POSITION TO DO THAT
FOR YOU.

YOU HAVE A NAME, SIR?

WE'RE THE F.F.T. BRIGADE.

NO. NO. NO.
I MEAN YOU SPECIFICALLY.

WHAT...
WHAT CAN I CALL YA?

THIS IS NOT
ABOUT INDIVIDUALS.

F.F.T.'s
A MAJOR ORGANIZATION--

WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF MEMBERS.

BUT YOU--
YOU HAVE A NAME.

YOU MAY CALL ME ALLEGRO.

SO, ALLEGRO,
LET'S MEET SOMEWHERE.

WE CAN TALK ABOUT
YOUR MESSAGE, UH,
TRY TO HELP YOU--

IF THE NETWORKS
WON'T GET OUR MESSAGE OUT,

THEN IT IS UP TO YOU.
IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

SO CALL THIS NUMBER.
THEY'LL PUT YOU THROUGH
TO ME IMMEDIATELY.

I WON'T NEED TO CALL AGAIN.

MY MESSAGE WILL BE HERE
WHEN YOU ARRIVE.

I'M SORRY,
WHEN I ARRIVE?

WHAT'S THAT?

ALLEGRO?

HELLO

CAN YOU SMELL THAT?

SAME EXPLOSIVE,
JUST MORE OF IT.

YEAH. AND SAME
DETONATION DEVICE, TOO.

THE GAS STATION
CLOSED 15 MINUTES
PRIOR TO THE EXPLOSION.

FORTUNATELY, THE WORKER
HAD ALREADY GONE HOME.

NO CASUALTIES, AN ESCALATION
IN THE SIZE OF THE EXPLOSION,

AND A DECREASE
IN THE NUMBER OF VICTIMS.

WE NEED TO DO A GRID SEARCH
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

WHAT DO I TELL THEM
WE'RE LOOKING FOR?

SAID HIS MESSAGE
WOULD BE HERE
WHEN WE ARRIVED.

CLEAR!

IT'S A BOOK.

SAYS, "MANIFESTO."

BAG IT.

HIS MANIFESTO'S MAIN DEMAND
IS COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC--

STOP ALL AUTOMATED MACHINERY
THAT'S REPLACED AMERICAN
WORKERS WITHIN A WEEK.

AND IF HIS DEMANDS
AREN'T MET,

HE SAYS HE'LL DETONATE
EVEN LARGER BOMBS.

SO WE HAVE
AN ANTI-TECHNOLOGY BOMBER

WHO SO FAR
HAS ATTACKED COMPUTERS,

AN AUTOMATED CASHIER,
AN AUTOMATED GAS STATION,

AND A SMART BUS.

WHO CALLS HIMSELF
ALLEGRO.

WH--WHAT WAS THAT?

HE TOLD ME
TO CALL HIM ALLEGRO.

OF COURSE...
YEAH. IT'S A BOOK.

YEAH. IT OUGHT TO BE.

NO, NO. IT'S AN ACTUAL BOOK--
A NOVEL I READ IT AS A KID.

IT'S CALLED EMPTY PLANET
BY ONE-HIT-WONDER AUTHOR
DAVID HANSBERRY.

IT'S GOT IT ALL--
TECHNOIDS, MINUTIANS.
ALL THAT STUFF'S IN THERE.

IT'S ROBOTS
THAT TAKE OVER THE WORLD

ONCE THEY FIGURE OUT
HOW TO REPRODUCE
WITH HUMANS.

ESSENTIALLY, HUMANITY'S LOST
TO TECHNOLOGY.

AND THE HERO OF THE BOOK
IS A 12-YEAR-OLD BOY
NAMED ALLEGRO

WHO BUILDS AN ARMY
AND FIGHTS FOR THE HUMANS.

MORGAN, HAVE GARCIA
GET AS MUCH INFORMATION
AS POSSIBLE

ON THE AUTHOR
OF EMPTY PLANET.
DAVID HANSBERRY?

UH, HANSBERRY, YEAH.

I'M ON IT.

THERE WAS A PASSENGER
ON THE BUS YESTERDAY,

A DR. EMORY COOKE.

HE'S SUPPOSED
TO BE SOME KIND
OF COMPUTER GENIUS,

PIONEER IN ARTIFICIAL LIFE.

YEAH, COOKE. HE DEVELOPED
SOFTWARE THAT MIRRORS

THE HUMAN
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM.

COMPUTERS THAT CAN
REPLICATE THEMSELVES.

SO MAYBE COOKE WAS THE TARGET
AND NOT THE SMART BUS.

IF SO, THAT WOULD
DEFINITELY BE IMITATING
EVENTS FROM THE BOOK.

ALLEGRO AND HIS ARMY
NOT ONLY DESTROYED ROBOTS,

BUT THEY ASSASSINATE
THE SCIENTISTS

THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR CREATING THEM.

DR. COOKE WAS SITTING RIGHT
IN FRONT OF SYLVIA COHEN.

AND THE UMBRELLA WAS
INITIALLY FOUND

UNDERNEATH
DR. COOKE'S SEAT.

YEAH.

THANK YOU FOR COMING
SO QUICKLY, DR. COOKE.

PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY SOME
RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISTS,

OPPOSE THE WORK YOU DO.

DO YOU RECEIVE ANY THREATENING
LETTERS OR PHONE CALLS

FROM ANYONE ABOUT YOUR WORK?

NEVER.
REALLY?

I'VE MANAGED
TO PUT TO REST
CERTAIN ANXIETIES

ABOUT THE GODLESSNESS
OF ARTIFICIAL LIFE

BY OPENLY SHARING
MY OWN PERSONAL BELIEFS.

WHICH ARE?

NO SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE

PRECLUDES THE EXISTENCE
OF GOD.

THERE ARE ALSO THOSE
WITH VERY STRONG
ETHICAL CONCERNS.

ETHICAL CONCERNS
REVOLVE MAINLY AROUND

THE MANIPULATION
OF ALREADY-EXISTING LIFE
FORMS .

MY WORK IS ON CREATING
ARTIFICIAL LIFE,

WHICH PRESENTS FAR LESS
ETHICAL DILEMMA.

NOT FROM THE MAN
THAT PUT THE BOMB
ON THE BUS YESTERDAY.

HE SEEMS TO BE OBSESSED
WITH THE SCIENCE FICTION
NOVEL BY DAVID HANSBERRY

CALLED EMPTY PLANET.

ARE YOU FAMILIAR
WITH THE BOOK?

I'M FRIENDS
WITH THE AUTHOR.

THE AUTHOR OF THE EMPTY
PLANET USED DAVID HANSBERRY
AS A PSEUDONYM.

COME ON, GARCIA,
I KNOW YOU GOT HIS NAME,
SO GIVE IT UP.

HER NAME, YOU CUTE
LITTLE CHAUVINIST,

IS URSULA KENT,

AND SHE'S A LITERATURE
PROFESSOR AT...OH, MY.

IN SEATTLE,
ST. DENNIS UNIVERSITY.

WHERE THE FLOPPY DISC
BOMBS WERE SET.

UH-HUH.

OH, YOU ARE THE LIGHT
OF MY LIFE, SWEET LADY.

DRIVES ME CRAZY
WHEN YOU TALK THAT

VOULEZ COUCHER
STUFF TO ME.

STOP IT.
HMM.

URSULA KENT
IS A BRILLIANT WOMAN.

SHE'S A POST-MODERNIST
LITERATURE PROFESSOR.

EVERY SEMESTER
I GIVE A GUEST LECTURE
IN HER CLASS.

SHE--SHE'S HERE

IS THAT NOT
WHAT I JUST SAID?

SIR, THIS GUY READS
EMPTY PLANET
LIKE IT'S PROPHECY.

HE'S TARGETING
WHAT HE CONSIDERS THREATS

TO THE SURVIVAL
OF HUMAN BEINGS,

AND I BELIEVE THAT
HE FINDS YOU ONE OF THESE
THREATS, DR. COOKE.

AS I'VE SAID,
I RATHER DOUBT THAT.

DO YOU THINK
THE FACT THAT
YOU WERE ON THAT BUS

AND YOU'RE FRIENDS
WITH THE AUTHOR
IS A COINCIDENCE?

A COGNITIVE SCIENTIST
AT M.I.T. ONCE SAID,

"COINCIDENCES SEEM
TO BE THE SOURCE

FOR SOME OF OUR GREATEST
IRRATIONALITIES."

OUR MINDS SEE
COINCIDENCES AND--

I UNDERSTOOD HIM.

I'D LIKE TO ATTACH
A PROTECTIVE DETAIL

FOR YOU, DR. COOKE,
UNTIL WE FIND THE GUY.

NO. THANK YOU.
EXCUSE ME?

REALLY, NOW. DO I SEEM
LIKE THE SORT

WHO WOULD WANT TO BE
FOLLOWED AROUND ALL DAY

BY A GOVERNMENT GOON SQUAD?
I DON'T THINK SO.

GOON SQUAD?

EVER TALK TO SOMEONE
WHO WANTS

TO CONTINUALLY SHOW YOU
HE'S SMARTER THAN YOU?

EVERYDAY.

I REALLY HATE THAT.

GARCIA FOUND THE AUTHOR
OF THE BOOK.

DAVID HANSBERRY'S
JUST A PEN NAME.

THE REAL NAME IS URSULA--
URSULA KENT.

THE PROFESSOR
OF POST-MODERN LITERATURE
AT ST. DENNIS UNIVERSITY

WHERE THE FLOPPY DISC
BOMBS WERE SENT.

HMM. ANYWAY,
J.J.'S CONTACTING HER.

WE CAN GO SEE HER ANY TIME.
LET'S GO.

WE NEED TO STOP BY
A BOOKSTORE AND GET
A COPY OF EMPTY PLANET.

I WANT TO RE-READ BEFORE
WE TALK TO THE AUTHOR.

I HAVEN'T READ IT
SINCE I WAS 6.

6? I WAS STILL RIDIN'
BY BIG WHEEL AT 6 YEARS OLD.

DO YOU MIND? IT'LL ONLY
TAKE 10 MINUTES.

TO BUY IT
OR READ IT?

UH, BOTH, ACTUALLY.

HAVE AGENT CASEY
SET UP PROTECTION
FOR DR. COOKE.

LIKE HIM OR NOT,
HE'S IN DANGER.

HE USED A COMPRESSION
DETONATOR.

LOOKS LIKE IT WAS
UNDER THE SEAT.

ONCE HE SAT DOWN,
IT ARMS.

DETONATED WHEN
HE RELEASED THE PRESSURE
BY GETTING UP.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE
NOTHING WENT WRONG THIS TIME.

NOBODY MOVED THE UMBRELLA.

HOTCH, GIDEON JUST
TALKED TO THIS GUY.

OFFERED HIM SECURITY
BUT HE REFUSED.

WE WERE GONNA
SET IT UP ANYWAY.

I DOUBT IT WOULD
HAVE HELPED.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

COMPRESSION DETONATOR.

IT HAD TO HAVE BEEN SET
WHEN HE WAS WITH US

OR IT WOULD HAVE
DETONATED

WHEN HE ARRIVED
AT THE FIELD OFFICE.

I'LL GET SECURITY
TO START RUNNING TAPES

OF THE LAB
FOR THE LAST 2 HOURS.

GOOD.

GIDEON.

I'M GLAD NO ONE BUT
DR. COOKE WAS HURT.

DR. COOKE WASN'T HURT.

HE WAS MURDERED.

MURDER IS NOT MURDER
DURING WAR.

BUT THIS--
THIS ISN'T A WAR.

YOU'RE--YOU'RE...
YOU'RE LIVIN' A NOVEL.

YOU'RE LIVIN'
A FICTION.

WILL YOU MEET MY DEMANDS?
I CAN'T.

STOPPING ALL AUTOMATION
AT A WEEK,

YOU KNOW THAT'S
IMPOSSIBLE.

AND I WANT
MY MANIFESTO PRINTED

IN THE SEATTLE LEDGER
BY TONIGHT.

NOT THE NEW YORK TIMES,
WASHINGTON POST?

SOMEBODY IN SEATTLE
IMPORTANT TO YOU?

THERE'S MORE WORK
TO BE DONE.

MUCH, MUCH MORE.

IN FACT, I'M GOING TO VISIT
AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE RIGHT NOW.

I'D INVITE YOU,
BUT YOU'RE ALL GOING
TO BE VERY BUSY.

GOT IT. IT WAS
THE LAST COPY LEFT.

ACCORDING TO THE CLERK,
IT'S ACTUALLY BECOME

A PRETTY POPULAR NOVEL
IN SCIENCE FICTION CIRCLES.

HOTCH.

A SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE
WAS FOUND AT THE WATER WORKS.

THE REPORT SAYS
IT LOOKS LIKE A PIPE BOMB.

WE'RE ON OUR WAY THERE NOW.

OK, KEEP ME POSTED.

UNSUB SAYS WE'RE
GONNA BE BUSY.

GOT IT.

LOOKS LIKE A PIPE BOMB
AT THE WATER WORKS.

ARE WE GONNA GO THERE?

NO, WE'LL STILL GO SEE
PROFESSOR KENT.

SEATBELTS.

HELLO. URSULA KENT.

HI. MY PLEASURE,
PROFESSOR KENT.

JASON GIDEON, F.B.I.
THIS IS DR. REID.

IT'S A REAL PLEASURE
TO MEET YOU.

I'M A FAN
OF YOUR WORK.

WELL, THAT'S VERY NICE
OF YOU TO SAY.

UM, WE CAN SPEAK IN MY OFFICE.
LEAD THE WAY.

YOUR BOOK HAS BECOME
A SIGNIFICANT PART
OF OUR INVESTIGATION.

SO YOUR COLLEAGUE
EXPLAINED.

I CAN'T IMAGINE
HOW, THOUGH.

BOMBER SEES IT
AS SOME KIND
OF PROPHETIC WORK.

HE'S ATTEMPTING
TO SAVE HUMANITY

BY STOPPING
THE PROLIFERATION

OF ROBOTIC
TECHNOLOGY.

WELL, THAT'S ABSURD.

HE'S WRITTEN
A DOCUMENT-LIKE
MANIFESTO

CALLED A GUIDE TO
PRACTICAL LIVING,

AND SEVERAL
SECTIONS OF IT

ARE LIFTED DIRECTLY
FROM EMPTY PLANET.

HE'S TAKEN UP WHAT
HE BELIEVES TO BE YOUR CAUSE

AND HE'S KILLING PEOPLE
FOR THE SAKE OF IT.

BUT EMPTY PLANET
IS A FANTASY.

NOT TO THIS MAN.

HOW COULD ANYONE THINK
IT'S MORE THAN THAT?

UNFORTUNATELY,
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT

HOW AN UNSTABLE MIND
WILL INTERPRET SOMETHING.

AND IT'S CAUSED HIM
TO KILL PEOPLE?

DO YOU KNOW
DR. EMORY COOKE?

VERY WELL.

HE SPOKE
TO YOUR CLASSES?
YES.

DR. COOKE WAS MURDERED
BY THE BOMBER
AN HOUR AGO.

NO...

CLEAR!

IT'S SAFE NOW.
ANOTHER SMALL CHARGE.

MORE MEANT TO SCARE
THAN TO HARM.

DEFINITELY
THE SAME UNSUB.

SAME SIGNATURE.

CASEY.

WE'LL GET
THERE A.S.A.P.

THERE'S ANOTHER BOMB
AT THE POST OFFICE.

LET'S GO.

PROFESSOR, WHAT IS THAT?

OH, UH...

THIS IS SOMETHING SOMEONE--
A BRILLIANT MAN

GAVE ME A LONG TIME AGO
BEFORE HE DIED.

ACTUALLY, IT'S PART
OF THE INSPIRATION
FOR EMPTY PLANET.

JAMES WAS A RATHER
EARLY ALARMIST

ABOUT HOW MUCH WE WERE
LETTING TECHNOLOGY
CONTROL OUR LIVES.

IT'S BECOME A SORT OF
TALISMAN FOR ME.

YOU WEAR IT
WHEN YOU TEACH?

SOMETIMES, YES.

THIS HAS BEEN ETCHED
ON THE BOMBER'S DEVICES.

OH, MY GOD.

BOMBER'S WRITTEN
A MANIFESTO
HE WANTS PUBLISHED,

BUT NOT IN THE NATIONAL
NEWSPAPER.

HE WANTS IT PUBLISHED
IN THE SEATTLE LEDGER.

HE WANTS SOMEONE HERE
TO READ IT.

HAVE YOU EVER HAD A STUDENT
YOU THINK MIGHT BE CAPABLE
OF DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS?

ONE OF MY STUDENTS

I'M A POST-MODERNIST.
IN MY AREA OF STUDY,

TECHNOLOGICAL INVENTIONS
ARE OFTEN VIEWED
AS ART OBJECTS.

THAT'S TRUE,
BUT OFTENTIMES

THE BIGGEST CRITICS
OF TECHNOLOGY

ARE THOSE
WITH SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUNDS,

AND YOUR STUDENTS
DEFINITELY FIT THAT CATEGORY.

I NEED YOU
TO READ THIS.

TELL ME
IF THE WRITING SEEMS

AT ALL FAMILIAR
TO YOU.

WE'LL WAIT.

MORGAN.

GIDEON, THIS GUY'S
PISSING ME OFF
RIGHT ABOUT NOW.

THIS IS
THE FOURTH LOCATION
IN THE LAST 50 MINUTES.

ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN
VERY SMALL BOMBS.

WHAT KIND
OF LOCATIONS?

MUNICIPAL.
WATER WORKS,

MAIN POST OFFICE,
SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE,

AND NOW WE'RE
AT THE MAIN BRANCH
OF THE LIBRARY.

GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS.
NOTHING INVOLVING TECHNOLOGY.

NO, NOTHIN'.
THEN WHAT'S THE PURPOSE?

DISTRACT US,
KEEP US MOVIN'.

HE'S DOING
A DAMN GOOD JOB, GIDEON.

I DON'T LIKE THIS AT ALL.

WE'RE CHASIN' THIS GUY.

WE GOTTA DO SOMETHIN'
TO GET AHEAD OF HIM.

PROFESSOR KENT
IS READING THE MANIFESTO.

I HOPE SHE READS
AS FAST AS REID.

NO ONE READS
AS FAST AS REID.

IS THIS THE SYLLABUS
FOR YOUR CLASS?

YES.

IS IT THE SAME
EVERY SEMESTER?

MOSTLY, MAYBE A BOOK
OR PROJECT CHANGED.

YOU ONLY HAVE
2 GUEST LECTURERS LISTED.

YES. UH, DR. COOKE
AND DR. BRASIER.

I ALWAYS HAVE THOSE TWO,

THEY'RE THE ONLY TWO
I INVITE.

THEY SPEAK TO EVERY
NEW CLASS.

DR. COOKE IS--
WAS AN EXPERT

ON ARTIFICIAL LIFE,
AND DR. BRASIER--

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

DR. BRASIER HAVE AN OFFICE
ON CAMPUS?

NO, UM,
IT'S CROSS TOWN

AT ROLLING HILLS.

MORGAN, I MAY HAVE SOMETHING.

HEY, SHELLY.

I'M ON MY WAY
TO THE SYMPOSIUM NOW.

THEN SAVE ME A SEAT.

IT'S NOT RUDE.

FINE, THEN TELL THEM
A V.I.P. IS COMING

AND YOU'LL LOSE
YOUR JOB IF YOU DON'T
SAVE THE SEAT.

HOW LONG AGO DID HER ASSISTANT
SAY SHE LEFT?

MINUTES.

GOOD, MAYBE SHE'S NOT
IN THE CAR YET.

YEAH.

HEY, SHELLY.

I'M THE V.I.P.

YES, I AM.

I DON'T CARE
WHAT YOU TELL THEM.

STOP THE CAR!
STOP THE CAR!

SEE, I'M TIRED
AND I NEED A SEAT.

STOP THE CAR, MA'AM!
STOP THE CAR!

LISTEN TO ME. DO NOT
TOUCH THE IGNITION.
PUT THE CAR IN PARK.

MA'AM, PUT THE CAR IN PARK,
DON'T TOUCH THE IGNITION.

DON'T PANIC.
I'M F.B.I.

F.B.I.?!

ARE YOU DR. BRASIER?
YES, I'M DR. BRASIER.

IT'S HER.
GIRL, LET ME CALL YOU BACK.

DOCTOR, DO NOT MOVE.

EXCUSE ME?

I NEED YOU TO SIT AS STILL
AS YOU CAN, PLEASE.

PLEASE.

DAMN IT.

OK, DOCTOR,
LISTEN CAREFULLY.

YOU MUST SIT AS STILL
AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN,

YOU UNDERSTAND?

WHY?

THERE IS A BOMB
UNDER YOUR SEAT.

BE OF GOOD COURAGE
AND HE WILL STRENGTHEN
THINE HEART.

DOCTOR...

YOU'RE GONNA BE
JUST FINE.

HE WILL STRENGTHEN
THINE HEART.

EVERY DEVICE
THIS GUY HAS MADE

HAS BEEN
FAIRLY BASIC.

I'M GUESSING
THIS IS A SIMPLE

LEVER ACTION COMPRESSION
DETONATOR.

KINDA LIKE A DOOR LATCH.

I'M GONNA USE THIS,
PUT IT BETWEEN THE LATCH
AND THE SEAT BOTTOM

TO DEPRESS THE LATCH,
AND I THINK WE
SHOULD BE OK.

SHOULD?

WELL, IF THERE'S MERCURY,
WE GOT PROBLEMS.

THANKS, HOTCH.
YEAH, I'M RIGHT HERE.

SO?

BOMB TECH'S
JUST ABOUT READY.

MAYBE WE SHOULD
GET OVER THERE.

NO. I THINK WE WOULD
JUST BE IN THE WAY.

WHAT ABOUT MORGAN?

HE HASN'T CHANGED
HIS MIND.

MORGAN?

I'M ORDERING YOU
TO STEP AWAY
FROM THE CAR.

HOTCH, YOU KNOW
I RESPECT YOU.

I'M NOT LEAVIN' HER.

YOU SHOULD LISTEN
TO YOUR FRIENDS.

HEY...

DON'T DO THAT.

DON'T YOU TURN
ON ME, DOC.

I'M RIGHT HERE.
WITH YOU.

GOT IT?

OK.

MY GIRL IS USING
ONE OF MY HANDS.

NOW, CASSIE.
YEAH?

YOU MIGHT THE OTHER
ONE, SO COME ON.

DO WHAT YOU
GOTTA DO,
LET'S DO THIS.

STEP BACK.

Thank you.

ASIDE FROM THE SECTIONS
OF MY NOVEL THAT WERE
BLATANTLY PLAGIARIZED,

I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE ANYTHING.

IT'S JUST PAGE AFTER PAGE
OF THE RAVINGS OF A LUNATIC.

RIGHT NOW, A YOUNG MAN
I GREATLY RESPECT AND ADMIRE

IS PUTTING HIS LIFE
ON THE LINE BECAUSE
OF THAT LUNATIC.

I'LL...
LOOK THROUGH IT AGAIN.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE GONNA BE
JUST FINE.

WAIT ON THE LORD, I SAY.

THAT WAS LUCKY.

YEAH, THIS TIME.

YEAH. YEAH, THEY'RE OK.

GOOD.

NOW BLOW THE CAR UP.

YOU'RE BLOWING IT UP?

BEST WAY TO KEEP
DR. BRASIER SAFE

IS BY LETTING THE BOMBER
THINK HE WAS SUCCESSFUL
IN KILLING HER.

NEIGHBORS WILL HEAR
AN EXPLOSION,

IT'LL BE ON THE NEWS.

YOU HAVE
A COMPLICATED LIFE.

IT'S A COMPLICATED WORLD.

I'M SORRY
I COULDN'T BE MORE HELP.

YEAH, ME, TOO.

GIVE THE MANIFESTO
A LITTLE MORE THOUGHT.

MAYBE SOMETHING
WILL OCCUR TO YOU

WITHOUT THE PRESSURE
OF US LOOMING OVER YOU.

YOU COULD GO BACK OVER
YOUR STUDENT LIST.

THINK ABOUT THE MALES.
ANYTHING ODD ABOUT THEM.

GUY PROBABLY HAD A TEMPER.

SOMETHIN' YOU MAYBE
HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT
FOR YEARS.

I'VE HAVE MY T.A.
PULL THE FILES.

MAY I ASK YOU
SOMETHING, MA'AM?

OF COURSE.

WHY DIDN'T YOU EVER
WRITE ANOTHER BOOK?

I GUESS IT WAS
THE ONLY STORY
I NEEDED TO TELL.

I'LL BE WORKING IN MY OFFICE
MOST OF THE NIGHT.

DON'T HESITATE TO CALL.

THANK YOU.

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
YOU, TOO.

MELISSA, I NEED YOU
TO PULL THE FILE
AND THESIS PAPER

ON A STUDENT
FROM LAST YEAR.

YEAH, HIS NAME IS
KENNETH ROBERTS.

GREAT, THANKS.

SO IT BEGINS
WITH THE FATHER'S SUICIDE--

OK, WE GOT
5 CRIME SCENES' WORTH

OF NEW INFORMATION
TO GO THROUGH.

AND THE TARGETS
THAT UNSUB CHOSE
FOR THE DECOY BOMBS--

DO THEY FORCE
A CHANGE IN THE PROFILE?

I DON'T THINK SO.
I THINK THEY ARE
WHAT THE ARE.

DECOYS TO THROW US
OFF THE TRAIL OF
DR. BRASIER.

REID, WHAT'S THAT?

IT'S THE SUBPLOT
OF THE EMPTY PLANET BOOK.

ALLEGRO KILLS
HIS MOTHER?

YEAH, AT THE END,
HE DISCOVERS HE'S ADOPTED.

HE'S REUNITED
WITH HIS BIRTH MOM.

HE THANKS HER
FOR HAVING THE STRENGTH

TO GIVE HIM
A BETTER LIFE, BUT...

IRONICALLY, HE REALIZES
THAT SHE HERSELF
HAS BECOME A ROBOT,

SO HE KILLS HER.

HE SACRIFICES
THE ONE PERSON IN THE WORLD

HE HAS A BIOLOGICAL
CONNECTION WITH

FOR THE GREATER GOOD.

WOW. I THOUGHT
WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT

SOME GEEKY
SCI-FI BOOK HERE.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE
GREEK TRAGEDY.

IT'S NOT PLAYED AS
A TRAGEDY AT ALL THOUGH.

IN FACT, HIS MOTHER'S
INCREDIBLY PROUD
OF THIS FINAL ACT,

LIKE IT'S THE ULTIMATE
FULFILLMENT OF HIS DESTINY,

PROOF THAT--
PROOF THAT SHE WAS RIGHT

TO HAVE GIVEN HIM UP
IN THE FIRST PLACE.

WAIT A MINUTE.
IF HE KILLS HER,

HOW DO YOU KNOW
SHE WAS PROUD?

IT'S TOLD FROM
HER POINT OF VIEW.

THE WHOLE BOOK IS.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE
SHE'S TALKING

TO THE READER FROM HEAVEN.

MOTHER'S
THE NARRATOR.

YEAH...

IT'S REALLY HER STORY.

ONLY STORY
SHE NEEDED
TO TELL.

AND IN ORDER
TO FULFILL THE STORY,

HE'S GOTTA KILL
HIS MOTHER.

DON'T HATE THE BOOK.

WITHOUT THIS, I NEVER
WOULD HAVE KNOWN YOU AT ALL.

MOTHER.

KENNETH,
DID YOU DO THIS?

DID YOU KILL
DR. COOKE?

YOU'VE READ MY MANIFESTO.

YES, AND, UH,

I THOUGHT SOME THINGS
SEEMED FAMILIAR.

AND I KNOW WHY
YOU WROTE EMPTY PLANET.

I KNOW WHAT
YOU'VE BEEN TRYING TO SAY.

KENNETH.

YOU'VE MISUNDERSTOOD.

I DON'T...THINK SO.

KENNETH...

THE BOOK IS
A WORK OF FICTION.

THE BOOK IS A GIFT!

NO, IT ISN'T.
IT'S JUST A STORY.

THEN LET ME TELL YOU
A STORY, PROFESSOR.

MY MOTHER DIED
WHEN I WAS EIGHT.

AND THEN SEVERAL YEARS AGO,

MY FATHER NEEDED
A BLOOD TRANSFUSION,

AND I TRIED TO DONATE,
ONLY TO DISCOVER

THAT WE HAD NOTHING
GENETICALLY IN COMMON.

I HAD TO WATCH HIM
WITHER AWAY,

BUT BEFORE HE DIED,
HE TOLD ME I WAS ADOPTED.

THIS IS NOT
WHAT YOU THINK.

I NEEDED TO FIND MY MOTHER,
BUT THE RECORDS WERE SEALED.

ALL I KNEW WAS THAT

I WAS ADOPTED
IN YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO.

AND THEN I CAME ACROSS
AN ARTICLE ABOUT

PROFESSOR URSULA KENT.

FAVORITE DAUGHTER
OF YOUNGSTOWN,

FAMOUS WRITER
OF EMPTY PLANET,

AND DO YOU KNOW, DO YOU KNOW,
WHAT THAT ARTICLE SAID?

IT--IT SAID...

THAT YOU HAD GIVEN UP
A BABY FOR ADOPTION

AND THAT BABY WAS
THE INSPIRATION FOR THE BOOK.

THAT IS TRUE.
THAT IS TRUE.

BUT THAT IS NOT
THE WHOLE STORY.

WHEN DID YOU GIVE UP
YOUR BABY FOR ADOPTION?

WASN'T IT 26 YEARS AGO?

IN YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO?

KENNETH, LISTEN TO ME--

NO!

IT'S YOUR TURN TO LISTEN.

AAH! AAH!

UHH! UHH!

COME ON!

I CAME OUT HERE
TO TAKE YOUR CLASS.

FOR A YEAR,
I SAT RIGHT THERE.

RIGHT THERE!

AND YOU NEVER SAW ME!

IF YOU'D JUST--

HOW COULD YOU
NOT RECOGNIZE ME?

IF YOU'D
JUST COME TO ME,

I COULD'VE EXPLAINED--
THEN I REALIZED,

THE ONLY WAY
TO GET YOU TO SEE ME

WAS TO LIVE OUT THE BOOK.

BUT GUESS WHAT? I DID THAT.

AND NOW,

YOU SEE ME, DON'T YOU?

THIS IS OUR DESTINY!

MORGAN, STAIRS.
GO AROUND.

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED,

I NEVER COULD HAVE
SEEN YOU.

KENNETH,
THE BABY I GAVE UP,

IT WAS A GIRL.

IT WAS A DAUGHTER.

THAT'S A LIE.

IT WAS A GIRL.
THAT'S A LIE!

I'M SO SORRY.
I KNOW THE PAIN
YOU'RE IN--

WHY DO YOU KEEP
LYING TO ME?!

YOU'RE NOT MY SON!

I PROMISE I WILL DO
EVERYTHING I CAN

TO HELP YOU FIND
YOUR BIRTH--

STOP IT!

ALLEGRO!

WAIT.

WAIT!

WAIT.

DON'T WANT TO HURT ANYONE.

YOU'VE GONE TO
GREAT LENGTHS

NOT TO HURT ANYONE
UNDER UNINTENTIONALLY--

LEAVE US ALONE!

NO, WE CAN'T
DO THAT, ALLEGRO.

WE CANNOT LEAVE YOU ALONE.

I'M OK. LISTEN,
I'M--I'M--

I'M OK.

DOESN'T HAVE
TO END THIS WAY.

THIS IS HOW IT ENDS!

YOU CAN CHANGE THE ENDING--

THIS IS HOW IT ENDS!

HOW DOES IT BEGIN?
I DON'T EVEN KNOW THE STORY.

TELL ME THE STORY.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE STORY!

TELL ME THE STORY.
I WANT TO KNOW.

I'M IN THE STORY RIGHT NOW.
LEAVE US ALONE!

ARE YOU WITH ME?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

TELL ME THE STORY.

LEAVE US ALONE!

GET AN AMBULANCE.

IT'S YOUR SHOULDER.

HE'S LOST.

HE'S JUST LOST.

JUST RELAX.

IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

CAN'T BLAME HIM.

YOUR EYES, URSULA.
I WANNA SEE YOUR EYES.

THERE THEY ARE.
THERE YOU GO.

YOU LISTENING?
I'M LISTENING.

HE JUST WANTS
TO KNOW WHO HE IS.

THAT'S ALL.

I UNDERSTAND.
OPEN THOSE EYES.

THERE YOU GO.

RIGHT.
KEEP LOOKING AT ME.

IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.

JUST RELAX.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

DO NOT CHEAT.

J.J., A LOT OF
SCIENCE FICTION'S DEEPER

THAN YOU MIGHT THINK.

MM-HMM.

I MEAN, THERE ARE SOME
GENUINE HUMAN EMOTIONS--

YEAH, LET ME SAVE YOU
THE TIME, REID.

I AM NEVER GOING
TO COMICON WITH YOU.

AHEM. I--

GIN.

WHAT, YOU DON'T
TRUST ME?

UH...
COME ON.

LET'S JUST MAKE SURE.

EIGHT...
LET'S JUST MAKE--

IT'S FUN BEATING
A GENIUS.

GENIUS DR. REID
LET YOU WIN.

LET'S PLAY AGAIN.

IF I REMEMBER,
YOU'RE BORDERLINE RETARDED.

I HEAR YOU WERE
WORRIED ABOUT ME.

'SCUSE ME?

THE BOMB AT THE GARAGE
UNDER THE CAR?

"A YOUNG MAN THAT
I GREATLY ADMIRE
AND RESPECT

IS PUTTING HIS LIFE
ON THE LINE."

WHAT

I DO SOMETHING?

WHAT YOU DID WITH
THE BOMB, STUPID.

GIDEON, I COULDN'T
LEAVE THAT LADY

OUT THERE BY HERSELF
LIKE THAT.

I DIDN'T SAY YOU WERE WRONG.

AND WHAT HE SAID I SAID...

MM-HMM?

I SAID.

I KNEW THAT.
