Plan 9 Page #2

a photon

causes a much

larger reaction.

This is astounding.

Yeah.

We're really on

to something here.

But we have to keep it quiet.

We have to keep it secret.

If professor Robertson finds out

what we're doing on the side,

he'll have us both exiled

from the profession.

Once we run a test,

he can do whatever he wants.

We'll have all the data we need

to approach the board.

You gonna run a test there?

In a couple of days.

Montana is very scarce.

Just gotta find a locale.

Don't forget to tape it.

What? You have

no faith in me?

None whatsoever.

Sh*t,

head honcho's coming.

I gotta go.

Stay in touch.

Hey, Jimmy.

Hey.

You gonna talk

to them again?

Yeah, just doing

our daily duty.

Hey hey hey hey.

Calm down.

Calm down.

-Relax.

-What?

Calm down. You guys

know better than this.

Can't be acting up

like this all the time.

We can't keep

coming out here.

-Go suck an egg.

-Hey hey hey.

All right, that's enough.

Where's your dad?

Where's your dad?

Just get inside.

He's inside? You go

show me where he is.

Larry,

I wanna go home.

Just come on.

I just...

I wanna go home.

Hey.

You okay, squirt?

Yeah.

When you fall, you

don't have to be scared.

What?

Your boys

are causing

quite a ruckus

again, Jamie.

I'll talk to them.

Yeah, but do you think

maybe you could

talk some sense

into them this time.

We don't want

to have to come back.

And lock

anybody up again.

I understand.

All right.

You have

a good day then.

Let's go, fellas.

We should tell them

what is coming.

It's not our place.

Tonight, they'll come.

Jeff, you're home.

Feeling a bit mushy,

are we?

Very mushy.

Listen,

we're on our way,

we'll be be there

in five minutes.

Okay, stay inside

until then.

I understand that.

Stay inside.

All righty,

looks like I'm done here.

Hey, what do you say, babe?

Wanna go get some grub?

Here you go.

Steak.

Can't afford steak.

She said she saw

Clyde Campbell.

That old lady's

losing her marbles.

Clyde Campbell?

He died almost a week ago.

What?

For Christ sake,

I was at his funeral.

She swears it was him.

Up and about,

trying to get

into the house.

So you think we should

take her up to the clinic?

Lieutenant Harper,

please stop pointing

your firearm at me.

Sorry.

You always do that.

But to answer your question,

yes.

If the old broad is

seeing dead people,

we gotta

get her someplace

where there's

a little bit more padding.

This is boss man Mike

on the mic.

I've been getting some

distressing phone calls

this hallow's Eve.

Now I don't know

if you cats

are playing tricks

on the old boss,

but...

hello, you're on the mic

with Mike who's call...

they're in my house!

Tell you what,

ghouls and goblins,

sounds like y'all

are really having

a blast out there

this Halloween.

Some of these pranks

are really starting to scare

the ol' boss man,

though.

Tell you what, let's calm

things down a little bit.

Let's get

into another ditty.

And also don't forget,

for the finest one-eye

burger on the river,

come on down

to the Nilbog food-hut.

And don't forget to ask

for Sally's special sauce.

Enjoy the song.

That's nice.

Hey, what's wrong?

You hungry?

No.

A little sleepy.

Well, I'm gonna make

myself some eggs.

If you wake up, come to

the kitchen and join me.

We gotta cross

a graveyard?

No.

You stay with the car,

I'll take care of it.

I'll be right back.

Damn, he's...

whoa.

What the f***?

Lucy, what the f***

are you doing?

Lucy, you jump out in front of

my car. Nearly killing you and me.

Now you've got me

in Robertson's laboratory

without telling me why.

In fact, I'm done.

This is

quiet time.

You have five seconds to tell me

why I'm not arresting

you right now.

I believe we have

a very huge problem.

One of lab's field

sensors has just detected

some kind

of kinetic energy pulse

that may very well kill

any living thing it touches.

Right... what?

Kelton, focus.

Based on my readings

and calculations,

we have about ten minutes

until another pulse hits

and covers the entire down.

-Nifty.

-That's bad.

-Not nifty.

-Remember the whole,

"could kill any living thing

it touches"

part of our conversation.

Sh*t!

-You scared me.

-I did, didn't I?

I couldn't sleep.

I'm gonna run down to Sammy's

and grab some goodies, okay?

I'll be back

in 20 minutes.

Hey, I love you.

Did I tell you

I love you tonight?

No.

I will.

Jeff.

I want you to leave your job.

I know. I know it's

a lot of money.

But I don't care.

You were gone

for two whole months.

And I was all alone.

All I have now is this pillow

that smells like you.

And since I feel

so distant from you,

I've resorted to talking to it.

Please,

baby.

If you love me,

stay home.

You think

he'll go for it?

More b*obs.

Jeff.

I want you to leave your job.

I know, but Lucy

seems pretty sure.

Thanks, Larry. They're gonna

have a hard time believing this.

As long as they evacuate the town,

it doesn't matter what they believe.

-We have to seal this place.

-But why?

This facility houses a particle

physics lab with a lead lining

to prevent any wayward

particles of electricity

from getting out.

Hopefully it will

work in reverse

and prevent something

from getting in.

-The pulse?

-Yes.

If my figures

are correct,

we have less than five

minutes until meltdown.

Lucy, less big words.

This pulse is unlike

anything ever charted before.

It packs

a large amount

of kinetic,

or moving energy.

I believe that the

next time it happens,

it will reach out

even further,

causing any living thing

it comes in contact with

to have a heart attack

or something similar.

How do you

know all this?

Back off, man,

I'm a scientist.

And we're safe in here?

I'm not sure.

The night can finally begin

for you have arrived.

How's your victory romp?

I believe he's still

in between rounds.

Right.

Come on.

What does it take?

I need something

to help me fall asleep.

And forget I ever existed.

I told you, I can't sell you

alcohol this late.

I'm sorry.

You smug f*** Nazi.

I will shoot you.

Did you lock

the door?

I always

lock the door.

Jamie! They're

in our house.

Where are you?

Sh*t.

Do you think

the lead stopped it?

I'm not sure.

I felt the wave.

Maybe it lessened

the strength of the blast.

So the whole town is...

too early

to determine.

Dead guy.

Somehow I think

my calculations

were a tad off.

Dead guy.

Think they're freaked out

'cause of the quake?

No, I think

they've been drinking.

Look at the way they walk.

Mac?

I think I'm gonna

go inside now.

Okay, Danny boy.

I'm gonna go see

if they need an ambulance.

Help!

Open the door!

It's okay,

we're alive.

-Open the f***ing door.

-Come on, let's go.

Come on!

Jesus Christ!

No, ma'am. We've got everybody

out on call right now.

We're gonna get somebody over

to you as soon as possible.

Hello? Hel...

Nilbog PD.

Yes, sir.

-Yep, we'll be right there.
