change in productivity

in shaping near-term transcyclical forces

as well as long term

sustainable growth,

perceptible for sustaining

slow advances in quality...

Just a reflex.

...Managers appear to be more generally

sanguine about the potential for innovation.

You are not Morgan Sullivan. You are Jack

Thursby. You are not married to Amy Sullivan.

Your wife is Diane Thursby.

Your wife is Diane Thursby.

You live in Redmond, Washington.

Accordingly to foster

financial conditions,

the federal reserve has quickened

the pace of adjustment for its policy,

and in conclusion, a cautious

approach is always the best strategy.

Thank you for your attention.

Excuse me, do you have the time?

- The time? Your watch?

- Yeah, it's 3:
30.

Already? Gosh, the last

speech just flew by.

Yeah.

Did you enjoy it?

Oh, yeah. Very much.

Hello?

It's for you.

Digicorp will approach you at the

airport. Tell them you are Jack Thursby.

Tell them you've never

heard of Morgan Sullivan.

Make them think you're brainwashed.

If you're exposed, they'll kill you.

What happened back there?

You're feeling the side effects of

the neutralizing agent in your system.

Don't worry. You'll be fine.

Mr. Sullivan. There's been a

change of plans, Mr. Sullivan.

You need to come to Digicorp's

local office right away.

Mr. Sullivan?

Mr. Sullivan?

Are you all right?

I think you're mistaken.

My name isn't Sullivan.

You're not Morgan Sullivan?

- You don't work for Digicorp?

- No. My name is Thursby. Jack Thursby.

I think you're looking

for somebody else.

I'm sorry, Mr. Thursby. My mistake.

That's okay.

Hello, sir. How are you?

I just need to see your

boarding pass, please. Thank you.

Thank you.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Excuse me.

- No problem.

Your turn. There's not

much hot water left. Sorry.

Could you make dinner a

half hour earlier tonight?

Sure.

I wrote down a list of

errands I need you to do today.

Okay.

Your car keys are in the

foyer next to your briefcase,

right where you left them.

Planning a trip?

Just some reading to pass the time.

You're expected in

reception, Mr. Thursby.

Down the hall and to the left.

- What's your name?

- Jack Thursby.

My name's Frank Callaway. I'm head

of security for Sunways Systems.

According to your

neuro-graph, you're lying.

You're lying when you say

that your name is Jack Thursby.

You're lying when you say that

you are not an undercover agent.

You are lying when you say that

you do not work for Digicorp.

And I cannot tell you

how happy that makes us.

No way. I am not going

back to that house.

You are in a unique

position here, Morgan.

Digicorp thinks that you're

brainwashed as Jack Thursby.

They think that you passed

our neuro-graph

and they want us to hire you

as one of our agents.

I don't care what they want.

Your counter intelligence work

for Sunways will be very simple.

Digicorp will never suspect

that you're working for us.

So they won't watch you too

closely while you're in the house.

All you have to do is to

place one bug in each room.

You don't f***ing understand. I'm

going home. I'm going to my real home.

Your real home is gone, Morgan.

What are you talking about?

Your wife put your house up for sale.

Her lawyer has been trying to

contact you for the last few days.

She filed for divorce three days ago.

I'm sorry, Morgan.

- Look, Morgan, I know this is hard.

- I want to see Rita.

- Who?

- Rita Foster.

- She pulled me out of the brainwashing.

- No, Morgan. You cannot see her.

- Why not? She works for you.

- She does not work for us.

But you sent her to find me

at the hotels, right?

No.

But you know who she works for?

Who does she work for?

- She works for Sebastian Rooks.

- Who's Sebastian Rooks?

Sebastian Rooks is a freelance

operative who we hired

to find out how Digicorp was getting

their agents past our neuro-graph.

Then we asked him to send us

an agent who wasn't brainwashed.

He delivered you.

He's the best in the business, but he's

also very dangerous and very ruthless.

I advise you to stay away from him.

Stay away from him and her.

Look,

we are offering you

a very good deal here.

When your work for us is finished,

we'll give you a new identity

and a new home, somewhere very

far away and safe from Digicorp.

I'm sorry, Mr. Callaway,

but you'll have to find

someone else for your job.

You won't last long out there.

Anywhere you go outside this complex,

Digicorp will have agents watching you.

If you try to run,

if you behave like Morgan

Sullivan instead of Jack Thursby,

they will eliminate you.

Quick. Efficient. Ruthless.

You're fortunate, Morgan. If we hadn't

interrupted the brainwashing process

you'd be like the

other convention guests:

programmed with a new identity and

sent to companies across the globe,

disposed of when you're

no more useful to Digicorp.

You have a chance to fight back.

So, are you ready to be a spy, Morgan?

I'm gonna get some more broccoli.

Phone lines are tapped.

We've got visual in all the rooms.

There they are in the dining room.

The salt shaker gives a

nice angle, doesn't it?

Very well. He believes

he's Jack Thursby.

He believes I'm his wife.

He's adjusted to this house.

- Who's she talking to?

- Digicorp agents.

She's giving them a report on you.

He spends much of his time indoors.

Of course he has no friends and he has

little contact with the outside world.

We've got the internet lines tapped too.

Excellent work, Morgan. Excellent.

My God.

My life is the same as it ever was.

That's because Digicorp monitored

your old life and then duplicated it.

It helps ease the transition

of becoming another person.

That's not who I am anymore.

I:

- I smoke cigarettes.

I like to drink scotch.

I play golf.

I'm not supposed to live in the suburbs.

I'm not supposed to be like that.

I'm sorry if you're

disappointed, Morgan.

But that is your vision of Jack Thursby.

It's not Digicorp's.

Can you guys clean up the

camera reception in that hallway?

Yes, Jamison?

This isn't Jamison. It's

Morgan Sullivan. B*tch.

- What do you want, Mr. Sullivan?

- I need your help.

I want to hire Sebastian Rooks.

- Are you still there?

- Goodbye, Mr. Sullivan.

- I'll pay him for his service.

- He doesn't work for individuals.

Ask him to make an exception.

- I'll do whatever it takes.

- You're on your own, I'm sorry.

No. No!

- Listen, you gotta help me.

- There's nothing I can-

You gotta help me, please.

You said I could trust you. I

believed you when you said that.

Meet me at the carwash at Fourth

and Jefferson in three hours.

Morgan! We'll be sending you on

your first assignment next week.

Our surveillance of your

house has already paid off.

We know exactly what sort of data

Digicorp is trying to steal from us.

So tonight you will say that you're

going out of town on a business trip.

Now, you know how to

tell her that, right?
