Chain Reaction Page #4

Obstructing an FBI investigation

is a federal crime.

- I know the law, Mr...

- Doyle.

National security does not include

murdering people.

Domestically, at least.

Tell your friends at Langley

that domestic is our back yard.

They're not allowed to play here.

You can keep the returns.

Nice house.

And for dinner tonight,

we have a choice of sardines...

...or sardines.

Gosh, I think I'll have... sardines.

Sardines. Beautiful choice.

So, is this how you seduce all the girls?

Only physicists with hypothermia

who are accused of being a terrorist.

Thank you.

There's a garage.

I'm going to see what's in there.

I won't be long, OK?

Your pit bull has killed

a Wisconsin state trooper.

Well, now.

Would you rather the Bureau

got the girl and Kasalivich?

First, he was a suspect.

Worst case scenario... they arrest him.

Now he's a cop-killer.

Worst case scenario, they kill him.

For God's sake, what possessed you

to frame him in the first place?

Two words.

Convenience... and expedience.

He saw too much, he was talking.

The poor boy was

in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I need this poor boy!

This poor boy is the only one

who knows the frequencies!

Do you understand the concept, Lyman?

Poor impulse control?

Barkley, Chen, the regulator.

That was supposed to be it!

That was all of it!

I am sick to death

of cleaning up your messes.

No, Paul, no. Yours.

Not mine.

You lost it, Paul.

Lost control, perspective.

You made it personal with these people.

Well, we'll find them.

We'll find them, and when we do

and we've got this thing working,

then, my friend, then

this young man will be a liability.

That'll be my problem.

- Our problem.

- No, Lyman.

When the time comes,

I'll handle it.

You'd better.

So what does he want us to do?

We find him and give him an injection.

Lily.

Lily!

Come on.

Leesburg, Virginia.

C-Systems.

Who are they?

Not cops.

Cops carry badges,

credit cards, pictures of their families.

If it's crowded, don't go in.

OK.

- Hi!

- Hello.

Can I help you?

I'd like to send some flowers

and a note to a friend in Virginia.

It's a little strange, Mr Shannon,

but these just arrived.

I'm not quite sure where they're from.

Here's a note.

May I see that?

Thank you.

Hold it right there, buddy.

FBI.

Step outside the van, please.

Why don't you bring

your invoice sheet out with you?

Do you know if the order

originated at this shop?

I don't think so.

I think it was a wire from Georgetown.

- Mind if I take one of these?

- No, sure.

Have a nice day.

So officially this investigation

is now code-named Steel Bomb.

We'll input the data into Rapid Start.

Look what I brought back

from the flower shop.

I think this is Kasalivich.

Spawn versus Neanderthal man, 4pm today.

What is this, a wrestling match?

Bad movie, video game?

Spawn, it's a comic-book character.

- The guy who comes back from the dead?

- Yeah, like Kasalivich.

Maybe Shannon is the Neanderthal man?

Very well may be.

Hello, Eddie.

Glad you got the flowers.

Very clever.

Are you all right?

No, not really.

I guess I can understand that.

We were at Maggie's.

Caught. We were about to be arrested.

Somebody shot the cop.

Later, two guys tried to kill us.

I've got my car outside. Follow me.

We'll go someplace we can talk.

I found this... in one of the guy's wallets.

They weren't cops.

What do you know about C-Systems, Paul?

This is not the time or the place, Eddie.

We're being watched.

Eddie,

the world isn't as simple

as we'd like it to be.

It just doesn't work that way.

Shannon, who are you?

I'm your friend, Eddie.

I may be your only friend.

Is it you, Paul?

Are you responsible for all this?

Time to go, Eddie.

You've got ajob to complete.

The experiment needs verifying.

Do your work... This will all be over.

Eddie, we're beyond that now.

Let's just get this done.

Come back to work with me.

You'll have your life back, I promise you.

You don't control our lives.

You'll have to trust me, Eddie.

Just like Alistair?

Eddie!

Eddie!

A trip that normally takes over five hours.

But today, you'll experience the events

of that flight in just seven minutes.

The crew is preparing for takeoff.

Your pilot for today's flight

is Captain Dave Larsen.

Stay here.

Our co-pilot is First Officer...

Get in.

She's in the hatch.

Look out!

The crew are going through

their final pre-flight checks...

Eddie!

Eddie!

Come on, don't do anything foolish.

Get Ford. DC police reported

a disturbance at the Science Museum

by the Neanderthal man exhibit.

CQ 493... CQ 493.

Here you are, darling. Drink this.

You're dehydrated.

Wash it out of your system.

Mr Collier and I have a few colleagues

we'd like you to meet.

Dr Holloway, Dr Hamada, and Dr Orbit.

They are very interested

to discuss your work with you.

And, of course, Dr Lu Chen.

Lu.

Lily.

We would like you and Dr Chen

to continue the work

you were doing with Dr Barkley.

- You can't be serious!

- Oh, yes.

We've been impressed with your work

for a long time.

Do you drug and kidnap everyone

whose work you admire?

No.

Dr Barkley, we left behind.

Slay the dreamer, eh, Mr Shannon?

You end up sleeping on the street.

I can't believe you'd do that.

Can you spare some change?

A quarter, what's a quarter?

Can't you see me?

Can I share your grate?

You make me sick!

We can't go in! We got kicked out!

What are all youse looking at?

Let go!

CQ 493.

This is Eddie. I think. He does.

But he really does.

What are you watching?

"Honeymooner" reruns?

Kasalivich and Barkley. Look at this.

Does he look like he's about to kill this guy

and blow the place up?

The whole thing stinks.

We've got the ballistics report back

on that trooper killed in Wisconsin.

Teflon sniper round

went through the cop's Kevlar vest.

I don't buy it.

He's smart enough to blow up the lab

but stupid enough

to leave $250,000 where we'd find it?

Are you saying some cowboy's

gone off the reservation?

$100. The kid didn't do it.

You've got a nationwide manhunt

for an innocent man.

Make sure nobody shoots him.

Next shift's going down now, OK?

Yeah, right.

Help me out on this, will you?

I've had problems with the conveyor belt.

No, I'll have Jim Zinsky work on that.

OK? All right.

If you've got any problems,

call me on channel four.

How is our young charge?

Did she say anything?

We'll soon find out, won't we?

The young lady

does appear to be cooperating.

Good.

- Gentlemen, you're just in time.

- Let's get on with it.

Miss Sinclair, Mr Chen,

please, have a seat.

Attention, all personnel.

Critical path experiment

will commence in ten minutes.

Critical path experiment

will commence in ten minutes.

Level five.

Activate the H2 compressor.

On... on automatic.

Here we go.

Lucasz, what are you reading?

- Two million kelvin.

- Activate the laser.

Four million kelvin.

You don't have it. It's unstable.

Shut it down! Shut it down!
