Winston is the CEO of a company called NURV, and they are on the brink of completing the global communication's system, Synapse. They need Hoffman to help them meet their launch date, so after much thought and with the full support of his girlfriend Alice, he accepts the job.

You came out twice

without going back in.

Who are you?

Harry Houdini?

No, No, No. This things is screwed up.

Look.

It's also got me going

into Daycare that night.

Daycare Center is not in your tour.

Exactly, I've never been in there.

- Milo, we're late.

- I'm coming. I just gotta get...

find some scissors for this...

He called the house.

Asked if we have enough space.

- Alice I'm Gary.

- Hi.

This is my wife Clarissa.

So, this is Alice. Hello.

- Gary tells me you are an artist.

- Yes, I am.

Milo, this is Barry Linder.

He's visiting us from Hollywood.

Barry's studio is going to

help us fill the...

...SYNAPSE pipeline.

- Oh, great.

The marketing implications are epic.

A kid is watching a movie,

points and clicks

at the laser blaster

and before the reel is even over,

he's bought the toy.

So it's just to hell with story,

and how many toys can you sell?

He, he.

- What about the artist?

- Artist?

The only art left in America

is business,

and you're standing

in Da Vinci's house.

Excuse me, where is the bathroom?

- It's just around the corner.

- Thank you.

You left the party to work?

I got inspired.

I didn't want to forget it,

so I came here to write it down.

I'm sorry if I was rude.

I know what you're doing, Milo.

I just want to know

that it isn't affecting your work.

I don't know what you mean.

Milo, I'm not blind.

Lisa is very attractive young woman.

God knows.

Your private life is your own.

But we are very close

to our launch date.

and I need you to keep

your eye on the ball.

- I understand, Gary.

- Good.

Let's go have a drink.

Get the back slash, get the colon.

Keys kids don't use but geeks do.

What would Milo want in here anyway?

They know.

Just don't trust me with it

So we will get

the evidence first,

ask questions later.

You can get started on that one.

What if he knows what we are doing.

Do you think he's toying with us?

How much time do you need?

Two days.

Now did you write the code

to sequence the video files?

Yes, and the audio is done.

The text file will feed

your voice synthesizer.

Hey, you're back.

I bought a hu-nin cookbook.

'Cause we're always afraid for you

to eat in Chinese restaurants.

I've been mincing and chopping

things into

teeny weeny pieces all afternoon.

- But you never cook.

- I know.

I'm gonna go change.

Uh, uh...

No escaping.

- You look beautiful.

- Thank you.

Milo?

I'm going to go upstairs and

get changed.

I love the way you look.

Thanks.

Hey, do we have any chopsticks?

Yeah.

Great.

Wait...

Right. A toast.

To a long life.

- Is it good?

- It's delicious.

Yeah.

There's something I need to tell you.

What?

I love you.

- Rebecca?

- Yeah?

Come on... come on. Come on.

See?

Who needs computers?

Gary, believe me,

I'm looking at his prints right now.

You want Phil to handle it.

Whatever you say.

Bastards!

Oh no.

You don't get by me twice, kid.

- You gonna call Gary?

- Screw Gary.

Bob, these guys are criminals.

Now, I am gonna go out on a limb

here because

there's a good chance you're not

going to believe a word of what

I'm about to tell you.

You'd be surprised about what

I believe about these people.

Show me what you've got there.

- Milo?

- Get your laptop. We're going tonight.

You said two days!

So, I'm a genius.

- We're not ready. You said two days

- Yes we are.

Lisa, you gotta trust me, Okay?

I need you to trust me.

Okay

All right.

He left campus. He's taken some

surveillance data with him.

Don't worry,

we know where he is.

Is Brian here?

Brian Bissel.

Who wants to see him?

What's going on here?

You sounded insane on the phone.

We need to do a live broadcast,

right now.

You can't pre-empt yoga

that's our biggest show.

Brian, you want to be

a big deal in life, right?

That's your dream, isn't it?

Will it mean

I get to work for NURV?

After this,

there won't be a NURV.

We're going to bring him down

and you're going to help us.

- That the most insane thing...

- Come on, man...

What have they ever done for you?

- Okay.

- Great.

Do you want to be a part of history?

Not really.

All right. How about...

...$132?

Fold your hands behind your back.

Lift the sternum bone, lift the arms,

through the hip...

...slowly.

- You're interfaced with the dish.

- OK.

Read me these IP addresses

starting with number one.. Wait.

Phil, come over here.

It's almost 10 oclock. We're going

to shutdown the mother satellites.

- What?

- Read me the IP addresses,

starting with 1.

- Gary...

- Just do it, Phil!

It's gone way too far already.

- Go!

- Go!

- 10

- 10

- 192

- 192

Come on, come on..

Come on, come on..

- It's your software?

- Is it your dish?

All right. Number 2.

Go.

Give me number 2.

Milo, some weird-looking guys

just pulled in.

Brian, don't worry about it.

Just give me number 2.

Come on, come on..

Damn it!

Okay, Get out of the there!

- Checked your connection?

- Yes

- He knows!

- What?

He's shutting down

the satellites one step ahead.

Go to the end.

Give me number 12.

- 42

- Wait.

He knows I am shutting them down.

- What?

- I know how his mind works.

Give me the last one, Number 12.

- Gary?

- Just do it!

Ah, give me number 5.

- Hurry up, hurry up

- 230

Open the door Milo!

One more second.

Guys, we're okay.

I've got it under control.

Give us the disk Milo,

come on!

The disk, Milo, now.

Come on, it's over.

...reaching a calm, peaceful place...

Hey, hey, a**hole!

What's with the Mission Impossible 3,

bullshit, Milo?

You're a geek!

Excellent!

They'll be back here in five minutes

with Milo and the disk.

Good.

What do you want to do with him?

Surprise me.

Ok, Mr. Shrot,

I need the disk that Milo gave you.

You got something non-geeky

that I could do?

- Yeah, we're gonna need a TV set

in here.

- You got it.

So what are you typing

in there, Larry?

IP addresses, it's like

calling up a satellite on the phone.

The first two haven't picked up.

Come on pick up man.

Thank you.

And thank you.

You have achieved a miraculous thing.

I'm so proud of you.

Forgive me my methods but,

when you got off course, we had to

motivate you to keep working on SYNAPSE.

Without Lisa here urging you on,

we might not have made it.

It's true, Milo.

What we have done is so important.

Oh my god.

What?

Oh my god.

Gary!

Who's got SYNAPSE, Milo?

Does this mean we did it?

Does this mean we did it?

Yeah, man!

- That's what I'm talking about.

- Fantastic!!

Yeah, your Jim Broker

never saw us coming,

were coming!

Consumers don't care where

new ideas come from,

just so long as they're offered

a competitive price.

The Software business is binary.

You're a one or a zero.

Alive or dead.

We do have a monopoly here,

we do have a monopoly here,

Those who don't innovate are

doomed to die... doomed to die.

There is no second place.

SYNAPSE will fully unite

the global village.

New ideas are ready to be

devoured, re-defined.

This business is binary,
