bike of yours and go on home.

Don't know what Jobe was thinking

he's just as crazy as this guy.

Trippy fool invented some kind of

Chyron chip.

- What did you say?

Chyron chip?

Come inside.

- So, what's your name, kid?

- Peter... Doc.

Call me Trace. Well, Peter, it's

all in here. All the answers

- in the water, in the air...

- The reason I came is because.

My friend Jobe is dying. You're

he only one who could save him.

You seem a bit young to know

anything about the Chyron chip.

- Well, Jobe told me about it.

- Who is Jobe?

He was our lawnmower man back

when my mom was still alive...

he was my best friend, but now

he's stuck in Virtual Reality.

- What does he know about it?

- He is building it.

- He is building it?

- That's what he said. I need you

I don't live that life anymore.

That technology just consumes you

I need your help. You can

find me at the 3rd st. Station.

Tunnel eleven,

if you change your mind.

Doctor Benjamin Trace.

Only he can stop this.

- What if he won't jack-in?

Tell him I'm building his chip.

- My dog does not stink.

- Yes, it does, Shawn...

- the funck is burning my eyes.

- It does not stink!

I looked at him and I almost

went blind. Harvey used...

to be a poodle. He looks like

a Chihuahua on steroids.

Who is it?

You know this guy, Peter?

Back off. This is the guy Jobe

old me about!

- You all live down here?

- This is just our summer cottage.

- I love your ventilation system.

Listen, this guy can help us.

Adults have betrayed me my whole

life. You know that, Peter.

Look, Travis, you don't have to

trust him. You must trust Peter.

So, you are the Einstein of VR?

I'll take that

as a compliment, Travis...

You know, Einstein made a few

mistakes himself.

- What are these?

- Man, you must be a dinosaur!

The electroplates on the sides?

They hit your temple and tap into

certain neurons, giving you full

neuro-sensory involvement.

- You can actually feel?

- Exactly...

See, that's why we have to save

Jobe, though. Because he's real

in there. He dies in there,

he is going to die out there.

Are you sure Jobe need saving?

What are you trying to say? Jobe

wouldn't lie to me.

You said you couldn't trust

any adults

He's not like you. I mean, he's

like a kid. He was until...

- Until what?

- Until my next door nieghbor did

some experiments with him in VR

and turned him from a simpleton

into a genius. We are wasting

time. You can ask him yourself.

- Ready!

Let's hook it up. Let's do it.

- Doc, here is your stuff.

No, I do not want to go into VR

- Why not?

I'm not ready yet. It is scary.

- I might get lost or something.

- Fine, I'll go in.

Back door access to Cyberspace

granted, please stand by.

Welcome to my world, Peter.

Did you bring the good Doctor?

- No, he's watching.

- Jack-in, jack-off.

Scared of the boogy man, doctor?

You can at least humor me with

a point of view, can not you?

It is a pleasure to finally meet

you. I feel like we're almost

I am blushing... family.

- I do not think so, Jobe.

- Don't be sure."Incest", the game...

the whole family can play.

My brother is my Daddy.

Doc, we are both unwanted,

under appreciated and...

ahead of our time. And the only

difference is your time was then.

- My time is now.

- It's a short ride. Enjoy it.

I plan to enjoy it for a long

time. I've found the secret to...

- inmortality in the Chyron chip.

- Where is the Chyron chip?

Come with me, won't you?

There she is... Miss Chyron chip!

It is taken years of work, but

our Chyron chip is a reality.

Look what I am doing, Doctor.

Sn't it amazing?

You do not look like you are in

danger. What do you want?

Egypt. Do not hold back on

me. It is a hidden "nano-routine"

encoded into the design of

he Chyron chip.

- I'm not going to help you.

- You share Egypt with me and I'II...

share with you technological

knowledge beyond your dreams.

This is your worl too, Doctor.

Your work helped create it.

My work is to build it. Now,

tell me. What does Egypt mean?

I'm not going to tell you.

You don't understand its power

I do, Doctor. And in 3 days I'll

be in every system in the world

Tell me what Egypt means, doctor,

before I get really pissed off!

Get out of here, Peter!

It is getting out of control!

Something is wrong. I've

neverseen Jobe like that before.

Stop it! I can stop it!

I thought you said the trains

didn't run through these tunnels.

They do not!

Oh, my God, It is heading

right for us!

Get out of here!

But this is our home!

Dispatch, do something!

Implement emergency procedures

immediately.

Dispatch shut all systems down.

Disengage...

Come on! Jade, Peter, hurry up!

The game is afoot.

Closed track. Code red.

The caboose is loose.

Shawn, let's go, come on!

I can not leave Harvey here!

Come on, Trace, get out of there!

Let's get out of here, it is

going to blow!

Now, let's deal with the

true believers.

Show me all the contributors to

fundamental world religions over.

The past five years.

And each user thinks that

they have total privacy.

Every time anyone logs onto

Virtual Light Uplink...

we'll know everything about them.

Show me all hypocriticaldemocrats

making over 300,000 a year.

That train was no accident,

was it?

Not a chance.

Man, now we have lost our home

and the Cyberspace.

I bet Jobe did it, so he could

build this his city.

Like this world didn't suck

enough already.

I think that's just a taste of

what he could do if.

It can not get any worse.

W What's with this Egyptthing,

Doesn't he need it from you?

If Jobe's worried about Egypt,

it means he's about to use it

to its full hideous potential.

Which is?

Enter every system in the world

and take over through VR.

So is there any way

to stop him or...

should we just start digging

ourown graves?

We've got to stael him the Chyron

chip before he figures out Egypt.

Federal Library?

If we could use their computers

we'll find the chip.

That's right, Peter, let's go.

Initiate image regeneration.

You have to help me.

Isn't that just like a recording?

We have to strip away the layers

within the program to discover

who the software that Jobe used

to enter VR was licensed to.

We have a problem.

I can not get past the memory

lock to isolate the chain.

Simple. Just enhance

the memoryindex.

What have we got hare?

Actualize data.

Five...

Here we go...

Execute worm function.

Enhance.

Redimensionalize variables.

All we have to do now is access

Datatronic Systems.

I am right with you, Doc...

there is our registered

wner. Platt.

I am accessing phone

listings, now.

We have forty three Platts.

See if you have a Cori Platt.

No Cori, but we have 3 C.

Platts. One is a PhD.

Trace, pull over.

Aren't we going to Dr.

Platt's apartment?

First we have to get tracker so

she can lead us to the chip.

It is locked.

- How are they going to do this?

- No problem. My brother can...

handle it. He is great at this
