Surrogates Page #3

Who gave you the weapon?

And paid you to use it?

I don't know!

Myles you can't lie to me.

I'm not lyin'.

I swear to God sir, I'm not lying.

He never told me his name.

We talked on disposable cell phones.

I never saw

his face.

I couldn't tell you who he

was if my life depended on it!

A Police chase through Dorchester concluded

with an FBI helicopter crash landing

inside Bostons' Dread Reservation

Residents of the Reservation are outraged

over what they're calling

a gross violation of their territorial sovereignity.

Human Coalition Leader, The Prophet

responded in a statement made earlier today.

They've attacked us.

Declared War on our way of

life and left us with one option:

Revolution!

We did not throw the first stone.

But we will throw the last.

Hi.

Hey.

How's the headache?

Still there.

- Thanks for being here.

- Of course.

Imagine a World where

children are always safe.

a world where every child

and every parent is secure.

Make every childhood a happy one.

Surrogates for kids.

Exclusively from VSI.

Where it all Beg...

- Knock Knock. Hey.

- Andy. Hi.

Oh my gosh.

- I haven't seen you forever.

- I know.

I should let you guys talk.

- Will you be okay?

- Mmmhmm

See you tomorrow morning.

Bye.

Bye.

How bad?

The doctor said you're

lucky to be alive.

Good thing you unplugged.

You gotta go get him.

Stricklands got that weapon.

You just get a court order...

There won't be any court

orders, you've been suspended.

For what?

- Tom, you violated our treaty with the Dreads.

- Forget the Treaty!

He killed 5 cops!

Look... I'm gonna take care

of this case myself personally. Alright?

Now... I'm afraid the bureau won't

be able to supply you with a new

surrogate until after the official inquiry.

Same goes for your

gun and your badge.

Don't think about this now.

He killed 5 cops Andy.

Take some time to heal.

Hey.

- Hey.

- Sorry I'm late.

That's ok.

Wow... You look a lot

like your synth.

Yeah

Should we go?

How long has it been since you've

been out without a Surrie?

I can't even remember.

I can't believe they didn't give

you something for the axiety.

Greer?

- Look... This isn't gonna work.

- I'm fine.

I have an idea.

Come on... This is

a really bad idea...

It's gonna be alright. I'm sure

we'll find you something decent.

Now we're gonna have you

back on your feet in a sec.

Sync looks good.

It's responding well to signal, right?

It feels numb.

It's only a base model.

It comes with vision and hearing.

If you want other senses

they're extra.

Of course if you like seeing your own

face when you look in the mirror, no problem.

I'll just scan your head, cast the thermo plastic

and you're good to go

in less than an hour.

Hey no charge on the improvements.

I'm sure you wouldn't mind taking yourself back

What do you think of that?

- Hmmm?

- I think we're done here.

Greer.

Tom.

Tom.

Tom you can't come out

here by yourself. It's not safe.

- I'm fine.

- Let me take you home.

I'm not going home.

Tom. We gotta forget the case.

Stone is going to run things his way

and as far as we're concerned, it's over.

It's not over until we

get that weapon back.

Then you gotta let me help you.

I'm not gonna let you win.

Take care of yourself Peters.

Death came to Myles Strickland

As death comes to all men.

But for Myles

It's not an ending.

It's a new beginning.

When you sacrifice your

own personal desires

for a greater cause, a greater good.

You never die.

You never disappear.

That is what it means to be human.

There is no alternative

You can try to escape by

living through a puppet

Through a machine.

But deep down inside, you

know you're living a lie

Here, inside these walls

We understand the truth.

We sacrifice many modern

pleasures and conveniences

to feel truly connected.

Not with machines

But with ourselves.

This is the human condition.

This is what gives life meaning.

My friends.

Soon the day will come

when surrogacy must end.

That day, I promise you

Is close at hand.

The day... we get a second chance.

Excuse me.

- Can I help you?

- Yeah

I'd like to speak to

The Prohet for a minute.

You and everybody else bud, no.

You some kind of cop or somethin'?

You have no jurisdiction here.

Can I talk to you

about Myles Strickland please?

Enough.

It's different when you actually feel the pain.

Isn't it?

What happened to Strickland?

Was he a friend of yours?

He had a weapon.

A very dangerous weapon.

My people will do

anything to get this back.

Well... if I happen to come

across such a weapon

I promise to have it

delivered to your door.

Show him to the gates.

Gently.

Agent Greer.

May I offer you a ride?

You'll have to excuse my appearance.

It's not safe for me to

use my usual surrogates.

Dr. Canter.

This is one of VSI's newer models.

How long have you been following me?

Long enough to know you're getting

nowhere solving my sons murder.

You lost a child Agent Greer?

How?

Car accident.

It was just an accident.

I'm sorry.

I can think of no worse tragedy

than a parent outliving a child.

All I can tell you

is that the man who killed your son is dead.

His name was Myles Strickland.

Lived on the Res'.

He was killed by his own people.

And that's it?

Case solved?

One man didn't act on his own.

Whatever killed my son

was an extraordinary

sophisticated technology.

Far beyond the capabilites of the Dreads.

We're talking about a

billion dollar weapons project.

Who do you know spends money like that?

Focus on the weapon, where it came from.

Mmmm do me.

How was it?

- Hey Maggie?

- No, thank you.

Come on... it'll take the edge off.

Tom?

Honey?

I thought you were still in the hospital?

Yeah...

I can see that.

What happened?

Tom I don't want you going out

without your Surrie ever again.

- Tom?

- You look very nice, Sexy.

Ok... Don't start.

I'm sorry, those guys...

They're friends of Brigettes, she brought

them over, she wanted to go to this party...

I didn't even want to go.

How long have you been jacking?

I don't.

I don't do it Tom.

And what does it matter if I did?

Why are you being like this?

Okay go have a good time.

Tom stop it!

Tom?

Tom, what was that?

- What?

- What you want from me?

I want you...

...My wife.

I am your wife.

And you won't see it.

No. God.

No you're not.

Not...

Not... this.

Not this... thing...

This...

I just want you.

And I want the woman that's in that room.

My wife.

Things have changed Tom.

You're... No you've changed.

You're just scared.

You're just scared...

We could go talk to somebody...

Maggie...

Maggie your my wife.

Agent Greer?

Is that... Is that you?

Yeah.

- You look... You look terrible.

- Thanks you too.

The chips completely fried.

What do you got on the girl?

Come on...

Let's go talk to her Op.

We can we access any Surrie in the grid.

Touch of a Button, I can

tap into anyones feed.

Transfer to remote operator.

I wish I could help.
