Scanners Page #3

- Cameron Vale.

- And your room number?

- 802.

Yes, this package is for you, sir.

My name is Cameron Vale.

- I've got to talk to Kim Obrist.

- Come on in.

Oh, God... They killed Ben Pierce.

- Yes.

- Come on upstairs.

Just wait here a sec.

Kim, Revok got to Ben Pierce. He's dead.

This guy's name is Cameron Vale.

I scanned him. He's for real.

He was there when it happened.

Sit down.

I know you.

You were at the gallery.

You were looking for Pierce.

I need help.

'Scan together. Scan together and

our minds begin to flow into each other

'until we become one mind.

One nervous system. One soul.

'One experience. Beautiful. Beautiful.'

'Beautiful and frightening.

Beautiful and frightening.'

'So frightening to lose yourself.

'So frightening to lose yourself to

the group, to lose yourself to the group will,

'to lose yourself to the group self.'

No!

Aaargh!

'The power...

'The power we can generate when

we focus our scans together is fantastic.

- 'Terrifying, supreme...'

- 'Terrifying, exhilarating...'

Around the side, quick!

Hurry!

Get in!

Let's go!

Kim...

Kim!

Kim, come on! Kim!

Now I know...

what it feels like to die.

Everywhere you go, somebody dies.

Who are you?

Who sent you?

- I'm a scanner.

- Who sent you?

I was found by ConSec.

- ConSec?

- They wanted me to find Revok.

I think they want to kill him.

But they never told me about you.

Tony!

Tony!

Tony...

Oh, no...

Come on, we gotta get out of here!

Come on!

Excuse me.

Excuse me, outside, ma'am.

OK, let's move out.

Back to the street.

Let me get out!

Let's get out of here!

We'll be all right here for a while.

It doesn't matter.

It's finished.

And nothing can stop Revok now.

We're the dream, he's the nightmare.

There's still us. I can help you.

We can destroy Revok together.

You?

You're barely human.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, but you don't understand.

You don't know Revok,

you don't know how evil he is,

how powerful he is, you don't know anything.

What are you doing?

He must have something

that will lead us to Revok.

Us? No, not me.

There it is.

That's it.

That's it.

Dr. Ruth, telephone call, sir.

You can take it right here.

Yes.

'It's Cameron Vale.'

We missed you.

I made a breakthrough to Revok.

I want to come in. I want to bring you

an informant from Revok's group.

That's excellent.

I'll arrange for you to be brought in.

Can you call me back in about ten minutes?

OK. Goodbye, Dr. Ruth.

All set?

Ten minutes.

We may have developed a serious problem.

Vale's coming in. He says

he has an informant from your group.

Now, is that possible?

No, he's lying.

Then why is he coming in?

Maybe he's homesick.

Vale must know something or his informant

does. It could be about me and you.

Then you'd better be the one

to interrogate the informant.

Ruth will talk to Vale.

I won't be able to prevent that.

If Ruth finds out anything,

anything at all... kill him.

Really?

- I thought you didn't want...

- Kill him.

Really.

One-six, Central,

this is ConSec two-niner. Clear to land.

'ConSec two-niner, this is ConSec Central.

Security is in place. You are clear to land.

'Repeat, affirmative to land.'

I'm afraid I'm going to have to

give you both an injection of Ephemerol.

Well, Braedon, no apologies,

no vote of confidence,

and my man brought back the goods.

We save the party until

we've unwrapped the presents.

It won't take long.

I have a way with these creatures.

I know that.

So has Trevellyan.

That's why he's asked me

to take the informant.

You can do what you like with Vale.

What if that won't work?

Police-state tactics simply won't work, sir.

Really? Why don't you send a letter

to the Board about that, Doctor?

I'm sure they'd love to hear from you.

Come in.

Welcome.

Congratulations.

It's good to have you back home.

Where's the girl? She should be here.

She's in another room, being interrogated.

I thought it would be you.

So did I. That's why I made sure the needles

I gave you both were harmless.

She'll be able

to protect herself if there's any problem.

Why did you do that?

Gesture of trust, dear friend.

I have my own methods.

And I've nothing to hide.

Nothing at all to hide.

Not even the RIPE programme?

The what?

Do you know of a drug laboratory

called Biocarbon Amalgamate?

Yes, of course. I founded it in 1942.

- You?

- I sold it to ConSec. That's why I'm here.

Let's say that

we have a... genial working relationship.

Do you know what that lab does?

It's been so long

since I've been in touch with them...

As far as I know,

they make some sort of chemical weaponry,

among other things.

It manufactures Ephemerol for Darryl Revok.

It may even be run by Darryl Revok.

That's impossible.

No. I was there.

I took the place of one of Revok's men.

I saw Revok in the control room.

The production of Ephemerol

is computerized.

It's being manufactured

and sent out in huge tankers.

Ephemerol is being sent out?

Sent out where?

The answer is in your own computer.

The programme that controls everything

is called RIPE.

And it's a ConSec programme.

That means that someone,

here at ConSec, is a traitor.

That someone is working with Revok.

I want you to access the RIPE programme.

I do not have ConSec computer clearance.

Neither do I.

You do have a nervous system.

So does a computer.

And you can scan the computer

as you would...

another human being.

Come.

- Hello.

- Hello.

What a pleasant surprise.

You're very attractive.

OK, let's do it the formal way.

Your name.

Kim Obrist.

Your name?

Not relevant.

Now... Tell me everything you know

about Darryl Revok's organization.

Before I tell you anything...

I want to know

how you're going to protect me.

When Revok finds out that I've come here...

he'll try and kill me.

Miss Obrist,

your best protection...

is to tell us everything we need to know.

As soon as you do,

Revok will cease to be a threat to anyone.

Not good enough.

Revok's people are everywhere...

and that scares me.

To be honest with you, Kim...

the only one you should be afraid of...

is me.

Why should I be afraid of you?

I came here of my own free will.

Because...

I know you're not what you say you are.

I want to see someone else.

Listen to me! Listen to me!

Now, I have acquaintances

in Revok's group. They tell me...

They tell me

that you have never been one of them.

Why are you here?

Why?

Goodbye, Kim.

It must be Kim. Where is she?

- Where is she?

- This is more important!

No!

'No, this is more important.

'The computer is more important.

'Access the RIPE programme.

'More important...

'But the RIPE programme is the past.

'Therefore to access the RIPE programme

is to access the past, no?

'Access the past...

'Access the past...'

Security!

The scanners. Find them and kill them.

Put it on the air!

Find them and kill them.

It mustn't happen again.

It's always been there inside me,

lurking away, sucking out my joy
