Hello?

'Morning.

What is this?

How ya feeling?

Whoa, whoa, easy.

Might want to give it a bit

before going for a stroll.

What happened?

You don't remember?

I was shot.

In the back.

Really?

Some kind of neutralizer.

Oh, gotcha.

I thought you meant, you

know, like shot, shot.

Is this...

What's your name?

Frank.

Frank.

Yeah.

I am your ISO.

What does that mean?

You can call me Howard.

No, what is ISO?

What does...

Hello?

Hello!!?

Yes, yep, sorry, just

getting set up here.

What am I doing here?

Is that rhetorical?

No, what is this place?

That was covered in

admissions and staging.

Ha, I don't even

know how I got here.

I didn't... No one's

told me anything.

I'm only here to acclimate you

to ISN habitat and service.

I've been arrested...

This is a...

I've been detained,

by the ISN?

I don't have that information.

But I haven't done

anything wrong.

What am I being charged with?

You're not being

charged with anything,

you're being processed.

Processed.

Listen.

I don't know what you think I've

done, or who you think I am,

but it's a mistake.

I don't have a record.

I've never been arrested before.

I have nothing to

do with the ISN.

I am a civilian.

So, can you check?

I don't have access.

What does that mean?

That's not how

this program works.

How does it work?

Do I get a phone call?

I don't think so.

How about a lawyer?

I'm not sure.

What do you know?

I know my job.

And what would that be?

I'm here to keep

you alive, frank.

Shall we get started?

I've got three different

flavors, orange citrus,

tropical Berry and ah, well,

regular water...

Oh, coffee too,

make that four flavors.

Want one?

No.

Do you want something to eat?

No, I'm not...

Want to hear some music?

Music, seriously?

Yeah, I've got a small library,

assorted genres,

classical, jazz, new age.

No.

Do you want to...

No.

Go for a walk?

A walk?

Yeah, stretch the legs.

Yeah, sure, okay.

How long you planning

on keeping me here?

Until you're processed.

When is that gonna start?

I don't have that information.

Ah, can I talk to

your supervisor?

Please?

I don't have a supervisor.

How can that be?

It's a server-based program,

operating off the GSL protocol.

A computer is your supervisor.

Well, no...

Listen, there is...

I guess you

could say that, but-

there has to be someone

who knows someone

who knows something

about why I'm here.

Could you, could you

talk to them, please?

What's your last name?

Lerner, Lerner.

Frank Lerner.

So, are you gonna check?

On what?

On why I'm here.

I don't have access.

Listen.

You can't keep me here without

telling me why, right?

I have rights.

At least the right to know

why I was brought here.

That was covered in the video.

I didn't see the god damn video.

I was shot. I was asleep.

I was knocked out!

This has been an error

and you can't even check?

I don't have access.

Of course not, of course not!

News reporter:

Demanding the release of

Fletcher may, leader

of the alliance,

whose mysterious disappearance

has sparked outrage

among IFO sympathizers.

Charges of illegal detainment

and military

strong-armed tactics

have only fueled the

volatile situation between

the ISN security units and

civil rights activists.

The white house press secretary,

Edward Baeza has denied

any involvement or knowledge

of may's disappearance

as administrative officials

seek a cease fire between

armed militants and the gr

police force security units.

No one even knows.

About what?

What happened to me.

Friends, family.

I just vanished.

So, where are ya from?

I'm from the south side.

Really?

Is that where you grew up?

Where are you from?

Or do you not have

that information?

I'm from Austin.

Texas.

You don't sound like

you're from Texas.

Born there, but I grew up in a

small town outside of Seattle,

a place not many

people have heard of.

Really?

That's fascinating.

Why would a small town boy like

you, ah join up with the ISN?

It's a job, I guess.

It's a job.

Doing this to people.

You know there used to

be laws against this.

Civil rights, Miranda.

Due process?

Constitution?

Any of this ring a bell?

That's not my department.

You, you're just

a button pusher.

I mean even with automated

protocol that doesn't really

fly anymore, Howard, does it?

I mean take a little

accountability

for what you're a part of.

You're the one keeping me here.

This is your department.

It's not just serving drinks,

taking song requests, is it?

What do you do for a job?

Christ.

You're something else,

I'll give you that.

You're a piece of work.

You said there was

something to eat?

Yeah, yeah okay.

I've got three

different flavors.

Chicken, beef and vegetable.

What do ya wanna try?

Whatever.

How long have I been in here?

Umm, I don't know.

You were asleep

when I signed on.

I need you to check

the files or whatever

to see if someone

went to my apartment.

What's in your apartment?

Look, after my arrest

I just need to know

if someone went there.

Why's that?

I have a dog.

You have a dog?

I know it may seem silly but

no one knows he's there, so...

What kind of dog?

He's, he's locked inside,

do you understand?

So he could bark all day

and no one would care.

He will die if no one shows up.

That's horrible.

No sh*t!

Could you make a phone

call, could you check,

could you contact

someone, please?

I can't do that.

You can't make a phone call?

You can't send a text?

Just to see if

someone went there.

Just to make sure

he's taken care of.

I don't need to know.

Please, please.

Please?

That's not how

the program works.

Ah, Jesus, god... The program!

Son of a b*tch!

I need water.

Can I...

Have some water please, Howard?

Yeah, of course.

Want to try one of the flavors?

Just water please.

What happened over here?

Where am I supposed to go?

You didn't give me a bucket.

Next time just ask

to use the bathroom.

The bathroom?

What the... Who did this?

Did you come in here?

Just a little room service.

Yeah... but how?

You done with the

bathroom, frank?

What can I get ya?

Hey, ah coffee?

What flavor?

Just regular coffee.

Boosts, room for meds?

No.

Alright, you're easy.

Jesus!

Want to try a different flavor?

Which one's this?

Vegetable.

May not seem like much, but it

does have everything you need.

Vitamins and minerals.

Have you tasted it?

I don't have that information.

Wait a sec, what does that mean?

Which part?

Howard?

Yes, frank.

Howard.

Yes, frank.

Howard.

Yes, frank.

Howard.

Yes, frank.

Howard.

Yes, frank.

Howard.

Yes, frank.

Howard!

Yes, frank.

You gotta be kidding me.

About what?

How did I not see that?

See what?

I'm talking to a computer.

I'm talking to a computer...

Get me out of here!

Frank, please I can

answer any questions.

Help me, answer questions?

You haven't answered one.

You don't know anything.

You don't have that information.

You get a real person
