You okay with this?

Yeah.

I need to know

what you had in there.

I... I need to know.

I've never seen

anything like it,

but it's burning

through every firewall,

it's frying every circuit.

I need your help.

I bookmarked the rest.

Zeig, I got your e-mail.

I think I figured out

a way to stop it.

I'm writing a virus

that could shut it down.

Meet me at the library

at 5:
00 today.

Check this one out.

I saw something in the library.

I can still feel it.

Like it reached inside of me,

like it took something

out of me.

My life.

Why won't you answer me, Zeig?

I need your help.

Goddamn it,

why didn't you warn me?

Is that it?

There's one more,

but...

I want to see it.

It's breaking me down.

I feel like

there's nothing left of me.

I can't think, I can't move,

I can't take the pain.

I just can't.

I'm not even me anymore.

It's all gone.

I... can't go on.

I'm sorry, Mattie.

I'm so sorry, Mattie.

What if it's all connected?

- What?

- The suicides,

the... Internet people,

the things I saw.

The ghosts?

I'm not buying it, Mattie.

Josh thought he saw them...

and it messed him up

so bad, he...

...he did what he did.

W...

Okay, what do you think

drove him over the edge?

Josh had some pretty

bad sh*t going on.

Josh wasn't on a power trip

with viruses.

He saw something horrible...

something like this...

and he wanted to stop it.

Hackers do this stuff

all the time.

It's a prank.

He got it off the Internet.

Come on.

But it wasn't hooked up

to the Internet.

- The cable was unplugged.

- So?

It came through the Wi-Fi.

Just like Josh said,

he pulled something through...

Pulled ghosts through the Wi-Fi?

It just doesn't make any sense.

It makes all the sense

in the world.

Do you have any idea

of the amount of data

that's floating out there?

The amount of information

we just beam into the air?

We broadcast

to everyone where we are,

and we think we're safe?

The whole freakin' city

is going insane,

and we're acting like

it's nothing.

Well, it's not nothing.

It's something

we don't understand,

and it is coming for us.

You're freaking us out, man.

It's the end of the world.

That's what it is.

Maybe it's the booze

in your coffee.

What about Zeigler?

This whole thing

started with him.

He was one of Josh's

hacker friends.

There's got to be

someone at school

who knows how we can find him.

Maybe he knows

what the hell is going on.

...computer virus

is affecting Internet service

worldwide.

Authorities are requesting

those of you who do not need

to use your computers,

to shut them down now

to avoid spreading the bug.

Hey.

I'm starting to think

I'm the only one living here.

Is there anything

going on tonight?

I don't really go out much.

Sorry.

B*tch.

"Douglas Zeigler."

Zeigler, the virus is inside...

inside... inside...

Inside?

Are you saying...

...not available for comment,

but we are receiving reports

of... mass disappearances

in other cities, as well.

By all accounts, the crisis

appears to be spreading,

and the federal government

is mobilizing a response,

as more and more law enforcement

and emergency systems

appear to be...

simply shutting dow...

I just wanted

to see you, Mattie.

Tim?

I just wanted to see you.

How are you doing this?

I see you.

Izzie, are you in there?

- This voice mail is no longer

- Hey, I'm looking for Izzie.

accepting incoming messages.

Please try again later.

Message 687.

Isabelle?

Oh...

Come here. Come here.

You'll be okay.

You know what dying tastes like?

Metal.

You don't want to breathe.

Because every time, it's...

...it's more of it inside you.

I want to die but I'm

too afraid to do it.

You're not gonna die.

I want to.

What do they want?

They want what they

don't have anymore.

They want life.

They're coming for you, too.

There's nothing

you can do about it.

God, you're freezing.

Wait... here a second.

You have reached 911 emergency.

Sorry, all operators are busy.

Please stay on the line

for the next available operator.

I'm sorry, Mattie.

Izzie!

- Hello. This is Louise Webber.

- Hello?

- Leave your name and message...

- Damn it!

Mattie!

Dexter...

Isabelle's gone.

What do you mean she's gone?

I'm packing a bag.

I'll meet you out front.

I'm on my way.

She was just standing there,

empty...

like she wanted to die.

And she was just nothing.

Just... ash, just this

Mattie, look at me.

...black, floating ash.

- Look at me!

I saw it... the thing Josh was

talking about, it came for me.

- Right after I found this.

- What?

The virus Josh was working on.

I found it taped

inside of his computer case.

Off-line, where they

couldn't get to it.

- Will it work?

- I don't know.

But Zeigler will.

You found Zeigler?

We're gonna get some answers.

Yeah.

We're gonna shut it down.

We're gonna shut it down.

Mattie... Mattie...

You all right?

Yeah.

Get out of the car.

Get out of the car.

Is he all right?

- Let's go.

- What?!

Come on.

There's nobody in the car?

No.

Come on. Come on.

Don't you move!

What the f...

- Don't come any closer!

- Don't shoot!

Put the gun down!

Calvin, are you crazy?

They're safe, they're not...

they're just kids!

We're not going to hurt you.

Put it down.

We've got to keep moving.

We're wasting time.

We've got to get out

of the city!

They came through the computer.

We saw them.

We think we have a solution.

Are you people insane?

You stay here, you're dead.

We shouldn't be out here...

they say it's spreading.

They say

that they don't know how long

until it's everywhere.

The cops are gone!

People are dying

all over the place! Come on!

We heard it's safe

in the dead zones,

anywhere there's no computers,

no phones, no Wi-Fi.

Come on!

Anywhere where they

can't come through.

- Let's go!

- Save yourselves!

Hurry!

What if they got Zeigler?

What if we can't get out?

He's alive!

He's got to be.

Douglas Zeigler?

Zeigler!

Whoa.

My God.

He's not here.

No! You're going

to let them in!

- Who are you?!

My friend Josh

needed to see you. Why?

That's the little prick

who let them in.

Let what in?

The slightest leak,

the slightest hole,

that's how.

We need to know

what you were working on.

What was it?!

It was a telecom project!

It was my baby.

It was super-wide band.

We found frequencies that we

didn't even know existed,

and they came through.

Who did?

We didn't know

what it was at first.

We thought it was

like a radio wave interference.

Then, we realized

that there was a pattern to it.

Every time that we'd try

to monitor them,

they would stop, or they

would change frequencies.

I mean, they were smart.

They were reacting to us,

and then...

we started seeing things

around the lab.

But shadows can't hide

underneath the desk.

Shadows can't walk

across a room

in broad daylight.

There was this tape.

Red utility tape.

Have you seen it?

It must have blocked

part of the spectrum

that they needed
