or us if you're here.

Here's some food.

I keep it hidden.

-Be careful out there.

-I will.

Thank you, Sister.

The Lord moves in mysterious ways.

He does.

Can you tell me

where I can find 2784?

Excuse me, sir.

I'm looking for 278--

Son of a b*tch!

I knew it!

Alex Furlong!

I knew it! I always knew it!

Look at you!

As young and healthy

as the day you got into that car!

The bastards snatched you!

You got no idea the sh*t I got.

The insurance wouldn't pay.

They couldn't find the body.

-You had me insured?

-I have all my drivers insured.

It did no good with you.

I looked for pieces!

A nose, a finger, anything!

This ain't my pad.

Here you either hide what you got

or you lose it.

This is remarkable.

I've never seen a Freejack.

Heard about them, sure.

I figured out it probably

happened to you.

Seen them on the 2-D, sure.

But touch one?

One I know? One that's alive?

Remarkable.

How do you lI ke my antique ashtray?

Porsche.

'67 Porsche.

You're Alex Furlong, all right.

What's that about?

The natives are restless.

-Why do they want me?

-Because you died.

Spectacularly.

Incredible piece of videotape.

You should see it.

They know where and when you died,

so you're a candidate for retrieval.

Space-time coordinates.

It's still raw, but it'll be perfected.

I don't get it. Why not grab

someone who's alive now?

Look at these people. They've lived

their lives with no ozone layer.

Sucking up megadoses of carbon

monoxide. . .

. . .sulfur dioxide, mercury, lead,

benzene. . .

. . .nuclear waste.

They're hooked on drugs not around

in the 20th century.

Let's face it, you're a hot property.

Do you remember Julie Redlund?

Sure, I remember Julie Redlund.

What happened to her?

She lives in Battery Park.

Safe behind the palisades of power.

She's an exec at

the McCandless Corporation.

Only the biggest company in the world.

They own everything.

I must reach her. I must see her.

That is the truth.

You must reach her.

They're not going for it.

We should try for the mineral rights.

Your try could kill the whole deal.

We're talking about 3 billion.

That's worth playing cards for.

Besides, I think they're

ready to fold.

I want it taken off the table.

Now.

Why don't they return to the table?

We will sign.

The mineral rights are yours.

Mr. McCandless is waiting

for your call.

You drive a hard bargain.

Pity we don't have more lI ke you.

Perhaps we would have

won the trade war.

Mr. McCandless is on line 17.

How'd it go?

Fun. I didn't make

friends, but I made a deal.

-Did we get exactly what we needed?

-And more.

That's good.

-Where are you?

-In Sydney.

I'm near the opera

for when the fat lady sings.

Something's come up.

The East-Pac deal is unglued.

I need you in Tokyo tonight.

-Can you handle it?

-Is this a promotion?

We'll discuss it

when the deal's done.

Andressen will brief

you in-flight.

-When will you be back?

-Tomorrow evening.

Call me if there's a problem.

Or if there's no problem. Bye.

Pull your hat down.

You look too healthy.

-I'm walking.

-You're standing out.

The heat's on you. Slow down.

Walk with a limp.

Think sick.

That's better.

If you look lI ke poison,

no one will touch you.

You gotta look messed up.

LI ke me.

There you go. One blue plate special.

I waited 20 minutes for this sh*t?!

I'll take it back!

-Brad! What's up?

-What's special today?

You're looking at it.

-Let me speak to her.

-Let me handle this.

I gotta talk to her.

These things can see and hear you.

Your voice over these lines,

you're done for.

Now trust me.

Go! !

You keep looking at me. . .

. . .you'll see me kill you.

Why is there a piece on the table?!

-Put that away.

-He started it.

Hey, you moron!

You messing with my boy here?

Mind your own business.

You'll live longer.

A limo is coming.

In 5 minutes, from the outhouse

to the penthouse.

Is Julie coming?

I just talked to Julie's car.

Besides, keep it zipped.

The frigging word is out on you.

What am I swilling this puke for?

In 5 minutes, I'll be eating caviar.

You?

What?

You said you'll be eating caviar.

Not us.

Christ! You're acting lI ke

one of these paranoid creeps.

You called them, you bastard!

You turned me in!

-I'm the one who called!

-Let go, you prick!

He's my bone!

-What the f***?

-Let go!

Let's get out of here!

Move, move, move!

Secure the door!

Give us a f***ing break!

Come on, start, you motherf***er.

Look out!

-Get out of my way!

-Get out of here!

Freejack approaching checkpoint

at high speed.

-Victor?

-What is it?

He crossed a checkpoint.

Heading toward Sector 9.

I know where he's going.

Don't be long, we're late.

-Be back in 20 minutes.

-Okay.

Door.

Hi, honey.

It's me, Alex.

Wait a second!

What's wrong?

Don't you remember me?!

You're a liar! Let go of me!

Who do you think I am?

You're not Alex Furlong!

You're the bastard who stole his body!

Damn it!

Stop and listen to me!

I'm Alex! I can prove it!

Look at me!

You gave this to me

before the race.

Don't you remember?!

That was yesterday.

What's happened to us?

Go, go! Move, move, move!

-I escaped while they fought.

-Then you just found me?

Brad told me where you lived.

How'd you get in here?

Through the open door.

Panel.

Security.

Central Locking reports

authorized personnel.

No unauthorized access.

You're lying.

There's no other explanation.

Your voice couldn't have

authorized access.

Intruder.

What'd you do that for?

Whoever you are, you've got

Attention, tenants.

You're wrong! Don't!

Please remain calm.

All unlocked doors will be secured...

...in 15 seconds.

Stay clear of the elevators.

They've been co-opted by Security.

This is not a drill.

Please stay where you are until

the all-clear sounds.

Three seconds.

Two, one.

Where's Furlong?

Yo! Is this your truck?

-Company's.

-Not anymore.

Calling in all support vehicles.

All vehicles in on this now!

Hey, Furlong. It's Vacendak.

I hate to say this...

...but you're speeding.

Where we going?

-I hate the dark!

-Piss off!

You can't get rid of me that easily.

Where're you guys coming from?

Mom told me never to pick up

hitchhI kers.

-No applause?

-Show's not over yet.

Box him in and run him down.

Be gentle.

I want him without a scratch.

You should stop. Imagine how upset

we'd both be if you were hurt.

Oh, imagine.

Come on, Vacendak.

You couldn't catch a cold.

Or catch the clap in a whorehouse!

Holy sh*t!

How am I doing?

Not bad.

The brake pedal's on the left.

Game's over, Furlong.

Don 't!

Don't do it!

If you drink any of that, I'm out of a

job.

Lord, the strange things

that wash up on this dock.

I'm beat.

You think so?

-Pretty much.

-Then you're beat.

A man thinks he's beat, he's beat.

You want some of this?

-What is it?

-River rat.

How do you eat that?

First you must cut off the head

and the tail.

Then you gut it.

It's all a matter of the sauce.

You don't just plop down warm rodent
