The Impostor Files: The Making of 'Impostor' Page #2

and all by the age of 23.

Outstanding.

No military record.

Father, John Olham, fighter

pilot, distinguished service.

Ship went down

in historic Z-12 dogfight.

MIA case

until they found his body

at a Centauri P.O.W. camp.

He'd been flayed alive.

Young Spencer was

eight years old.

Spencer Olham was a driven man.

I'm not happy about losing him.

And when I'm not happy,

nobody's happy.

Wha...

Do you like jokes?

I have a joke for you.

Knock, knock.

Why are you doing this?

I'll say it one more time:

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Not Spencer Olham.

What do you want?

Yes?

Come on... ouch!

Come on. Ouch!

Ouch!

Three days ago

our Special Ops team

intercepted a Centauri

Intelligence courier.

This was on its body.

Centauri. Your native tongue.

Sounds like a wild boar

on the make.

Anyway...

we muddled through it

and decoded your plan

to infiltrate our installations

using humanoid robots.

What?! I'm a scientist.

You're a scientist.

You know, you things

are really something.

It's not a mechanical

robot at all...

but a genetic cyborg

evolved from synthetic DNA.

It breathes...

sweats, bleeds...

but right here, right now

it seems to have no idea

what it is.

Now this will really excite you.

A Centauri hit list.

Humans targeted for murder

and then replication.

This morning

we found your target-

Olham's name- on that list.

Wha...

Wait a minute.

This is a mistake.

Now, I-I-I...

I know you think you know

what's going on here

but I can clear this up

very quickly. We have tests-

"We"?

methods- you can run

a spiral core PET scan...

"We"? "We" who?

or DNA amplification using a...

Oh, I see you've learned

to patronize, as well.

Please, listen to me.

DNA amplification...

Your needle ship penetrated

our outer dome.

You murdered Spencer Olham

when he was most vulnerable.

Somewhere outside the city.

Somewhere unrestricted.

- Where? Where is your ship?!

- This is insane.

Please, please listen to me.

I know you're a tool

for assassination.

You have no proof.

Your meeting tonight with the Chancellor

that's when you would detonate.

I am Spencer Olham,

you crazy f***!

Do you know when my

dog pleases me most?

It's when he displays

human qualities.

Sometimes he c*cks his head,

puzzled.

You're not the prototype.

We found this cyborg

trying to pass himself off

as an engineer

at one of our Mars bases.

I'm telling you,

my name is Jack Stoller!

You're making a mistake!

I got a wife and two kids!

Please don't do this!

I'm begging you.

Please don't do this!

I'm Jack Stoller!

You're making a mistake!

My name is Jack Stoller!

My name is Jack Stoller!

Stop! Please stop!

Don't, don't, don't!

The Centauri U-bomb.

Annoying, isn't it?

If I could blow us all to hell,

then what are you doing here?

You're not close enough

to your target.

The U-bomb is programmed

to coalesce at trigger phase.

Right now,

you're just a useless curiosity.

Nelson...

Jesus Christ,

don't let them do this.

Please, tell them it's me.

You know it's me... Nelson...

Remember my...

my wedding?

You got piss-drunk.

You hit on Maya

and you begged her not to tell me.

Well, she told me, Nelson.

I never brought it up;

I forgave you.

And when Josh had

an emergency appendectomy

I sat with you all night

and I asked you

if you ever regretted having kids in this miserable war,

and you said,

No, because they made it all bearable.

They made it all worth it.

It's me, Nelson.

It's me.

Please, help me.

This monster is

out of his f***ing mind!

Memories...

senses, knowledge-

you pilfered them all.

But there was one thing you couldn't take

from Spencer Olham.

Do you know what that is?

"When the solution is simple

God is answering," I quote...

Einstein.

I know who said it.

I want the answer.

Can God give you the answer?

What was it you couldn't take

from Spencer's dead body? Hmm?

His soul.

I forgave you,

you son of a b*tch.

Gentlemen, let's get started.

That's right, let's get started.

Hathaway's a bit on the slow side, isn't he?

Oh, too bad, he's a little dim!

Hey, I got a joke for you.

Here's my joke for the day:

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Hathaway.

Hathaway, who?

Hathaway

the real target.

You thought it was

the Chancellor.

Fatal error.

Trigger phase activated.

Countdown, 30 seconds:

Tick, tock.

Tick, tock.

Tick, tock.

Tick, tock...

"When the solution is simple

God is answering!"

Strap him in the Vivisec.

Tick, tock.

Tick, tock.

Tick, tock. Tick, tock.

That's right, you drill me.

You drill me real good.

We'll all go out

in a blaze of glory!

Long live the Centauri!

Target lock- Kaboom!

He's playing with you.

He's trained to do that.

Strap in the robot.

Watch your fingers.

Ten... nine... eight...

Get back!

Put the gun down!

Get back!

Clear the room!

Get back!

Attention, all ESA units:

Enemy infiltration in progress.

Enemy infiltration in progress.

Oh, sh*t...

Sh*t.

Damn it.

I don't see anything!

Move! Run around that corner!

Double-check that quadrant!

Yes, sir!

Affirmative!

All clear at 19-6!

Move back here!

Omega Six. Status.

Omega Two-Niner-Six.

Status.

He's on his way to the surface.

Nelson... Nelson...

Shh, shh.

Hold on.

You're going to be all right.

Listen. Listen to me.

You're not going to die.

Goddamn it, hold on.

Hold on.

Veterans Hospital.

How may I direct your call?

Olham. Maya Olham.

I'll transfer you.

Maya...

- Hi, this is Dr. Olham at Veterans Hospital.

Please leave a message.

If this is a medical emergency

enter code 2112.

You'll have 30 seconds

after the symbol.

Maya, Christ, I need to know...

Spence?

Maya.

Thank God.

Are you all right?

What did they do to you?

Where are you?

Tell me what they told you-

the ESA.

They told me that you've been arrested for treason.

They think I'm someone else.

They said that you're a spy.

- Maya, please listen to me.

Why you?

They want me dead!

Listen, there's a test,

in the hospital.

It's something they missed.

I took it three years ago.

A test?

What does this have to do...?

If I can run another one

a comparative for proof,

they'll see that...

You can't come...

You can't...

It's comprehensive.

It's undeniable.

You can't come here.

But you see it, don't you?

Maya...

You're not...

You're not listening

to them, are you?

It's not safe.

Locking down A-sector now.

Spence, I need to know

where you are.

I'll come to you.

Initiating lockdown.

I'll find you.

From 20 Kansas

through 19 Nevada.

You'll be thankful

for those drugs.

Move! Go! Go-go-go!

Get down!

Get down!

There it is!

Get back! Get down!

- Watch its head!

- Get down!

Hold your fire...!

Initiating lockdown

from 20 Kansas

through 19 Nevada.

Get portable scanners- as many

as you can find or steal.

Wake up the NMR team,

put them on standby.

I want a hot-link into the

Census Bureau Comm Center

in case they get a hit

that we don't.

One more thing-

turn off these f***ing alarms!
