The chip was supposed to make

things better for them.

Ironic. Still maybe it could.

What did he do here?

That's where Jobe merged the

nano-matching hardware.

He couldn't have. There is no

trans-matrix.

There isn't.

Something's wrong.

It should be there.

So you lost the chip.

You idiot.

Do you honestly think I'd entrust

something that important to you?

Voila!

People want a show...

and now that Jobe has solved the

link, the chip can be activated.

Now, get out of my sight.

Any progress?

Jobe is tracking down the intruders

And you are a genious.

Yes, I know. I think it is time

we call the President.

Try to get Virtual Light Europe.

- Where?

- Anywhere.

Uplink, England, Virtual Light...

Nothing.

Greetings, Mr. President.

And thank you for joining us

in this momentous occasion.

I am happy to be here.

I was shocked to hear about

Greenspan's dreadful accident...

I know how much he wanted to be

a part of what we are doing here.

But, "la vie continue"...

We will be joined by hundreds of

others prominent people...

who'll be jacking-in from all

over the country...

so, if you are ready, don your

eyephones...

and we can begin.

- I am...

- Just relax.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Welcome to Virtual Light...

We stand in the face of a new age...

The future is one world...

one thought, one mind...

Behold.

The future is now!

Twelve hours to Global interface.

It is all taken care of.

The foreign marketplace will be

secure only when they place...

their money in your hands.

Excellent work, Jobe.

- It is already started to happen

What's that supposed to mean?

It means that Jobe must have

figured a way around Egypt.

And he's using the chip

to enter...

every system around the world,

replacing it with himself

It takes about twelve hours for

the interface to complete.

Once complete it is irreversible.

Walker is going to stop him.

Are you crazy? Who do you think

is doing this with him?

Walker is a businessman and Jobe

is bad for business.

Come on!

What a surprise. I did not expect

to hear from you so soon, Doctor.

You have to stop Jobe before

it's too late.

Too late? What happened to your

sense of loyalty, Cori?

You wouldn't know the meaning of

the word, Walker.

Is that Doctor Benjamin Trace?

Listen, Walker, you have to take

Jobe off line immediately.

I would love to accommodate you,

Doctor, I really would.

But that is not an opinion

I can exercise right now.

Listen to me, you stupid bastard!

If you do not take him off line

you will have no options.

Are you threatening me, Doctor?

No, I'm not. Jobe is.

Jobe is a loyal employee.

I 'd trust him with my life.

You better, because you just

gave it to him.

Time to get rid of some pesky

little roaches.

Stop. Back two sectors.

Enhance.

They check in, but they do not

check out.

Systems override.

Still no response. Control,

I need help, I have a Mayday!

Control, you need to reply.

We are Alpha six!

Doctor, we have company.

Reference present position.

We are going in after him.

You have to help me.

Override the system!

Let's get out of here.

I lost frequency.

Help me out of here!

Two hours to Global Interface.

Give me access to all

credit accounts.

I am sorry,

your account is overdrawn.

This card is no longer valid.

ATM machins...

Department of Water and Power.

Reports of city wide civil

disturbances have been verified.

As the police department has gone

on full tactical alert.

But with automated system

failures occurring throughout...

the city, response is expected

to be slower than usual.

Already the violence has taken...

several lives and few see an end

to thecontinuing chaos.

Officials are reporting an

outbreak of looting and random...

myhem throughout the city,

nation and globe.

He has finished this city.

That's why he waited, so he could

offer an alternative.

People need hope.

If he can destroy our world,

we will have to turn to him...

a new Messiah in Cyberspace.

But you can not live

in Cyberspace.

Jobe can.

He can achieve global interface,

we won't have any choice.

- Egypt.

- Where they built the first dam.

- The chip is a dam.

Exactly.

Come to me all who have burdens.

I will set you free.

And you will no longer be the

children of a lost generation.

It is time to take control

of the system!

There shall be no more authority

to oppress you.

We can all be the authority.

Jack into a new world order.

Follow Jobe...

Follow Jobe...

Escape the violence and greed

that threatens to consume you.

Come be one with your

fellow man.

This is true spirituality.

There shall be no more authority

to oppress you.

World economic markets have been

taken some of the worst collapses

in the history.

Jonathon, I have some bad news

and I have some bad news.

Where are you going?

Come back here!

Stay here!

You can not go anywhere!

Come on!

Jobe, what the hell is going on?

We have lost control. AII the lab

files are disappearing!

Are you messing with me?

Answer me.

That is an order.

You have no power to give orders.

In 100 years your petty financial

empire will not mean anything...

but I'll still be here.

You son of a b*tch!

Without me you are nothing but

a deaf and dumb cripple.

I made you and I can unmake you.

Twenty minutes to

Global Interface...

You can't disconnect him.

Virtual Jobe will remain inside.

You can either heavily sedate him

or take him out.

If you want to take me out...

just ask.

Open the door, goddammit!

Bastard!

Alright. If that is the way

you want to play it.

Prime alert. Security breach.

Code Red. Code Red.

All personnel will evacuate

the building immediately

There are three terrorists

on the premises...

fully armed and dangerous moving

down corridor 6D.

Shoot on sight.

Repeat, shoot to kill.

That son of a b*tch.

- Sir, there were terrorist here.

- We are the terrorists you idiot!

Give me that gun.

There are three terrorists on the

premises.

Shoot on sight.

Repeat, shoot to kill.

Fifteen minutes to

Global Interface.

Give yourselves to me.

Your re-birth in the womb of

Cyberspace is a chance for a new

beginning. To live in Eden...

without hunger, without famine...

without temptation!

Ten minutes to Global Interface.

We have got ten minutes, Cori,

you better watch the monitors...

Pull the real chip at the exact

moment you destroy the Virtual.

Check it out, man.

Let us look!

If we can just jack in to that

dome unnoticed...

No. Jobe knows all about

anyone who jacks into the dome.

We have to find another way in.

These are the routes for the

information superhighway...

that lead directly into the dome.

You do not have to jack in, Doc.

You have a problem jacking

into VR?

No, I will be fine. I am not

going to run away this time.

Listen, guys...

We are going to follow the

superhighway through the city...

to where it goes underground all

the way into the dome.

We'll take this access route

follow that up inside and
