He said that he would

kill me. I'm so sorry.

Everything's gonna be okay, we

need to get out of here, now.

Which way do we go?

Jump.

Here, take this.

Wherever I've spent the most time,

that's where the boy will be.

You need to start there.

I don't know

where you've been.

Look, he pushed me out of the van.

He forced me to do that,

and then he pulled

me back in again.

He only took me with him

that last time as bait.

I'm sorry.

I don't know where that is.

Okay, when I change

you follow me,

you watch me,

you bring the police.

I can't do that.

Then you need to get as far

away from me as possible.

Because if I see you again,

I will kill you. So, just go.

The boy that

you're helping.

Is he your son?

Why do you care so much?

What else do I have?

Get the girl.

Move. Move. Go!

Freeze! Now!

Stand right where you are.

Get the girl now.

Hands down.

Come here.

You have the right

to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be

used against you in a court of law.

You have a right

to an attorney.

If you cannot afford an attorney,

one will be provided for you.

Do you understand

these rights...

...six terrorist, seven terrorist, eight

terrorist, nine terrorist, 10 terrorist.

Let's go again.

One terrorist, two terrorist, three

terrorist, four terrorist, five terrorist,

six terrorist, seven terrorist, eight

terrorist, nine terrorist, 10 terrorist.

F*** it, eleven terrorist.

Won't ask you again.

Where's Leonid?

In a secret lab.

Making avirus.

Finally. Where?

I want to tell you, but I'm being

controlled by Dr. Francis Langham.

I've have, like,

a modem inside me.

Sometimes the signal goes

down, and I'm myself again.

It's called droning.

Now, we have procedures we

have to follow, as you know.

Always have a medic present

during waterings,

wait five minutes

between bouts, all that sh*t.

The thing is, this flight.

It doesn't exist.

So the rule book goes out

of the f***ing window.

Wait!

Let's say I give

the benefit of the doubt.

I'm gonna try

and reason with you.

Look at this sh*t.

And this, and this.

Leonid,

the guy you're covering for,

has worked out how to do

something that no one else can.

There are guys who know how to

genetically code and engineer a virus.

We've been doing it ever since we

grew an ear on a mouse decades ago,

but Leonid's are

something special.

His viruses

f*** with your DNA.

This one was

his first success.

Made you grow extra lungs. Only

they wouldn't stop growing.

To stop it going global

we had to scorch the earth

for 100 miles

around his lab.

Now, Leonid out,

cooking up viruses in a lab?

That's a very bad idea.

So, where the f***

is this dangerous a**hole?

I don't know.

I'm being controlled.

You need to speak

to Dr. Francis Langham.

LSR Bioware?

Yes.

Him and his son,

they made me kidnap a kid.

He and his son killed themselves

when their company went down.

They faked it.

He's controlling me.

Bullshit.

This is your last chance.

I'm old school, my dad was old school.

Served 50 years.

I like old school things.

Cars, records,

Sun;

No codes, just odds.

Right now it's one in six.

Where's the lab?

I don't know. Oh, God!

I'd advise you

to start talking.

Who's in charge of the operation?

Who are you?

I don't know! Please.

Four. It's exciting,

isn't it?

You sure you don't want to

tell us where the lab is?

I'm sorry.

Please!

I just wanna save the kid.

What's the plan?

What virus is Leonid making?

I don't know...

It's the organ!

It's the organ he's

controlling me with.

It's bioware.

He's made it smaller.

Nano, pico,

Leonid's virus will carry it.

Everyone infected will grow

a place the tech can sit.

This thing that

they've done to me,

they're gonna do

it to everyone!

He wants to control everyone!

I'm just gonna shoot him!

Please! Please! You have to

believe me, please. Please.

He's either crazy or

he's telling the truth.

Yeah, I say crazy.

I've seen worse though.

Korea.

There's this guy

who thought he was the devil.

Another guy

thought he was God.

Just to see what would happen,

we put 'em in a cell together.

Straight off, they started whaling

on each other. Real dirty.

Who won?

It was even.

But the devil had

the better moves.

Hey. Hey,

is that plane following us?

Sh*t, it's firing something.

Is that you, Ryan?

Back again?

Hmm?

What do you think

about this arrangement?

No more dealing with inflatable

balls and knockout drugs.

All the tech in the world and the

best thing is to simply tie you up.

It's me, son.

Really.

Yes.

I'm trying to imagine what it will

be like to control anyone I choose.

The prospect

makes me quite giddy.

Me, too.

We'll be more

efficient and powerful

than any

government in the world.

A few necessary sacrifices,

and people will not only want

control, they'll demand it.

Leonid wants to see his kid free.

Delivery is in a few days.

I would like to

stretch my legs, son.

This? I might as well

be back in the chair.

We can't let that happen.

You should have been chained the

moment the fugues started, Father.

Ryan nearly destroyed

the whole project.

The solar flares

are settling,

and they will no longer be

effecting the satellite's signal.

One, maybe two

episodes at most.

So you gave the

satellite a high orbit.

I didn't know solar storms were going

to interfere with the satellite.

It's an 11-year cycle.

This size?

It's once every

thousand years.

How am I... You should've

checked all eventualities.

I did. I've sacrificed so much.

I have worked so hard.

You demanded obedience, and I

obeyed and succeeded, despite this.

You're right.

Your behavior these last few

months has impressed me.

Thank you.

I may not often say, but I

am proud to be your father.

Embrace me, son!

Ryan.

Clever, I admit.

But what now?

Save that kid?

From out here,

the middle of nowhere?

In the amount of

time that you have left?

I don't see that

happening, do you?

Just enjoy the sun on your

skin, breeze in your face.

Bird singing.

I have a suggestion.

Let's have a drink.

I'll show you a picture of your wife.

You remember her, don't you?

Come.

Have a seat.

I get it Ryan. I do.

Did I ever tell

you about my mom?

She was 35. She was killed

along with 26 other people

by a solo crazed gunman who

didn't wanna pay taxes anymore.

Now, how is that fair?

He did the wrong thing.

I'm doing the right thing.

Just like your wife.

She's gone. Move on.

Don't spend the few remaining

fragments of your life suffering.

Enjoy them.

To living every moment

as if it were your last.

You're right.

So now I know

what I need to do.

What's the point?

You don't wanna do that.

You'll kill us both.

You followed me.

Following, watching, everywhere

just like you asked.

I used the money you

left me and the truth is,

no one's been as

good to me as you.

Ever.

There isn't anytime.

So you might as

well just let me die.

Will you,

Ryan, come back again?
