Hardwired Page #6

Let's show him the way.

I don't know how much more

I can take.

Who did this to us?

Man, last time you asked that,

your melon damn near split open.

We need to go to the cops,

the media, somebody.

Who would believe us?

We're nobody.

How did you get in here?

Whoa, no...

What?

What are you talking about?

Take it easy, Luke.

Luke? Who's Luke?

I was just doing my job.

Put down the gun,

please.

You're freaking me out, man.

Who the hell are you talking to?

You've gotta believe me.

It was nothing personal.

Neither is this.

Get another gig.

Hi, my name is Carter Burke.

[SIZZLES]

Time to tell the lab rats

the truth.

Now!

[MAN]:

Project 660 has the potential

to increase profits

for Hope Industries

at an annual growth rate

of 831 percent.

The Psi-Com Implant interfaces

with the optical

and auditory sensors

of the brain.

Downloads are experienced

by the subject

as both visual

and auditory stimuli,

and can be repeated until

the subject acts upon them.

In this case, buying whatever

product is being sold.

The implant is also equipped

with its own receptors

and controls,

notably a fail-safe mechanism.

Should the subject transgress

the boundaries

of the experimental

environment,

the mechanism can be used

to modify his behavior.

Or in extreme cases,

the fail-safe mechanism

can be used

to terminate the experiment.

[AUTOMATED VOICE]: Initiating

avatar program, level two.

Do you think you've won?

Think you've stopped us?

Do you think telling the truth

to 660 lost souls

is enough to bring down

all of Hope Industries?

Do you really think

Randolph Hope

is going to spend

one minute in jail?

Tomorrow, Hope Industries

will still be

the largest shareholder

in the company you call America.

Confusing, isn't it?

But one of us is real.

Of course,

you have to figure out which one

before I kill you.

[CHUCKLING]

Now, Luke, your wife wouldn't

want you to be a murderer.

Here I am.

[LAUGHING]

Oh, isn't that sweet?

They're still trying

to help you. But they can't.

[LAUGHING]

Go infrared.

Well,

it's been fun.

Goodbye, Mr. Gibson.

[GRUNTS]

[AUTOMATED VOICE]: Avatar-system

shutdown initiated.

[MACHINERY POWERING DOWN]

[BEEPING]

What's he doing?

I don't know.

[BLUE]:

What the hell?

Look at this.

I love you, Luke.

And I'm gonna remember this

as the happiest day ever.

And you'd better too.

[GIGGLES]

I remember you.

Ronnie.

Ronnie.

Ronnie.

[SIGHS]

[LUKE]:

Virgil Kirkhill was right.

We didn't bring down

Hope Industries.

But we're the crack

in the wall,

and we keep chipping away.

Randolph Hope still wields

a lot of power,

but we know how

to stay under the radar.

And if you've ever been

on the grid,

we can track you down.

There's work to be done,

hard work.

I have people to protect

and wrongs to set right.

He's looking for us,

but we found him first.

My name is Luke Gibson.

They stole my past,

but I'm taking back my future.
