(SHOCKING)

Perfect, that's it, thank you.

Install bi-C please,

hold for system start up.

Inject in three, two, one.

(HIGH-PITCHED WHIRRING)

Excellent, system start

up, please and thank you.

Cerebral re-orientation

complete.

Cover for spectrum

sensory reprogramming.

Okay, she's done.

(MACHINE WHIRRING)

Let's have her nap, please.

Bring in the next one.

(GRUNTING)

Oh, God!

PIERCE:
Sorry.

I got it.

We'll keep you here from

being a stuck pig for an hour.

I've got a doc on the way.

I know what I'm doing.

That's good.

(SHAUN GASPING)

Oh yeah, good call.

Yeah.

Get a band-aid on that,

moron.

Okay, so, uh, this is going to

hurt like a real motherf***er.

(SPITS)

SHAUN:
What is that?

The name we've settled

with was son of a b*tch.

Ready?

Perfect, here we go.

(YELLING)

F***!

Fills the hole, plugs

the veins, sources out

the infection and puts

a temporary block on it.

Couple shots of Fentanyl and

you'll be all smiles. (LAUGHS)

(GROANING)

Please don't puke on me.

(GASPING)

Oh, I gotta get out of here.

Well, good luck with that.

What the f*** is

that supposed to mean?

Well, for one,

I may not let you.

Two, if the plan is to o get

the girl, you're too ate.

(GROANING)

They scooped her up

right after I got you.

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa.

There's nothing

you can do for her.

Okay?

Not that it's going to make

anything better, but, uh,

they're not going to kill her.

I've got tabs in G60 lens on

almost every suit in town.

These corporate f***

sticks have like

a processing plant,

it's a small outfit.

You know, put in the

rejects, pop out the suits.

It's like a suit kitchen.

She's going to

wish she was dead.

Sorry.

Well, it's not my finest

work, but, it' I do.

You know me, I know you.

What is happening to me?

You should've stayed

out of state, Shaun.

You get in familiar settings and

it starts triggering

memories, blank spaces.

It's a major f***ing

defect of doing a wipe.

It's like taking an

eraser to pencil,

leaves that lead residue.

You,

Shaun,

Rhett, you were a

suit, my friend.

One of its first kind, too.

They didn't have any

volunteers at first,

so they just scooped up

people out of the blue,

used them up, dumped them.

But we got to you before that.

You used to work for the state

and then you worked for me.

What did we do, exactly?

We started a

revol-f***ing-lution.

(MACHINES WHIRRING AND SCREAMING)

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

Hi mom, I miss you.

When are you coming home?

Let me tell you about my day.

I played and I watched TV.

(GIGGLES)

I'm not looking

forward to bedtime,

but I am looking

forward to see you.

I love you, mom, I'll

talk to you later.

Hey sweetie, I got

your little video.

Thank you.

I'm sorry I couldn't

be home tonight I,

I've just been... (SNIFFLING)

Mommy's been very busy, but um,

but I promise you that, um...

(MAN THROAT CLEARING)

Sorry, it's just I, I have

Breckeridge on the line.

I'm busy at the moment.

I know, again I'm sorry.

He is insisting on

a status report.

And I will call him back later.

He's new, isn't he?

A little green, we

all start somewhere.

How's your girl?

She's growing up fast.

Does Francis...

Don't.

Seriously, what are you

actually doing here?

What stake do you have in this?

I already told you.

I made the same oath to God,

country and state you did.

It didn't really

get me anywhere.

Unlike some people.

I made a mistake that cost

lives and put others in danger.

Your family, mine.

These people that

think they're above

everything that we

do, it's never enough.

Just rodents in a cage, right?

Except this one

managed to get out.

Your one rodent, Mr.

Murphy, he got out.

If he's your mistake, why aren't

you out there looking for him?

I don't need to.

And why is that?

Because you have the bait.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

This place man, this state.

I don't know how they managed

to get this far, but they did.

They counted on the

public being sheep.

I have a little more

faith than that.

Shaun, there's a movement,

a resurgence of human will.

When the country

folded and the S.E.A.

took over they put fear in us.

Do this or that'll happen.

Be that or this'll happen.

They're putting the wool

over our f***ing eyes.

This, is a list, tax

records, income reports,

health statistics,

phone records,

internet records,

dates, times, addresses.

Who you f***ed, who

you didn't f***.

Every possible detail about

every human living in the state.

Complete and total

state surveillance.

This list reads like the f***ing

naught? List from

Santa Claus, okay.

If you no longer live a

certain lifestyle that

the S.E.A. deem appropriate,

you're defective.

Almost instant execution.

Word hasn't gotten out yet,

but they've already started

and they're doing at will

in the streets now, too.

They've been building up

to this the whole time.

Pushing people into

the corner with fear

and forcing them

into acceptance.

Taking out the

independent thinkers

until their whole

state is nothing

but their perfect

f***ing gene pool.

Next thing, the country,

maybe even the world.

It's not a city corporation like

the S.E.A. pulling

the strings anymore,

it's something big,

really f***ing big.

And I'm not talking

like Washington big.

We need to stop it.

(SCOFFS)

With what, a

couple of people, us?

Sometimes that's all it takes

to make a f***ing

difference, man.

They have a defect, it's like

a registry or a supercomputer.

Every little thing

that they need in order

to keep their operation

running is on there.

If we can cripple it

they lose control.

I've been working

on this sturdy boy.

I haven't thought of a

catchy name for it yet,

but it that thing acts as

a bomb, this is the fuse.

I hope.

Shaun, we used you.

You'd been a suit for a

couple of years at that point.

You and I worked very

closely together.

We needed superior inside access

that we couldn't

get our hands on.

That was you, man.

I just think, I don't know,

maybe you saw too much.

Got you a new identity,

got you out of the system.

What if you were

meant to be here?

Hmm?

What do you think?

I'm going back for her.

(GROANING)

They will kill you, Shaun.

This company is the devil.

You cannot win a battle

against hell on your own.

You still have a chance

at something else.

Let me give you a clean slate,

a fresh start,

call it my apology.

I don't want to sound like

an a**hole, but she's gone.

I think you're

here for a reason.

The people, they need

someone like you, a hero.

It's your call.

Tell me where to find my sister.

Rhett Murphy.

Enough, it's already

too late for her.

If you're smart you'll

let us continue.

It's good for her, it's a

path to a better future.

Give yourself up willingly
