Major!
I have the Secretary of Defense
calling for you.
I'll bet you do.
of our military machine-
would be able to contain it
in its own containment facility.
So the first question I have for you, Major,
is this:
Why are we having
this conversation?
I take full responsibility.
Effective immediately
I'll hand the matter over
to Captain Burke.
He's a good man.
Pick up your weapon, Major.
A good man is not what I need.
Is the replicant
still pursuing its target?
We don't know.
What is the range of the bomb?
We don't know.
We don't know.
Given that the Chancellor
is landing in four hours
is there anything you do know?
We know it's either in the evac tunnels
or out in the Zone.
I recommend you evacuate
the city immediately.
You recommend
that I set off a mass panic
and you can't even
show me an X ray?
Mr. Secretary...
the Centauri are well ahead
of us in nanotechnology.
The bomb, it eludes
standard detection.
at trigger phase.
That's when you'd hear
a big boom.
Don't f*** with me, Major.
Now, tell me how
we deactivate it.
We shoot it.
We can't shoot it, because you can't contain it.
It believes it is human.
It wants to live.
It knows fear.
It will make a mistake.
In the genius lies the defect.
Lucky for us...
it bleeds.
And how many innocent men bled
for your mistakes
before you uncovered
the first replicant?
Ten.
You don't lose any sleep
over those dead men
do you, Hathaway?
We lost ten and saved 10,000.
I sleep like a baby,
Mr. Secretary.
Old Grid.
hit on Spencer John Olham.
In the Zone.
You shouldn't be here.
I said you shouldn't be here.
Attention, all inhabitants.
You have 30 seconds to comply.
Do not refuse,
or you will be bodily removed.
Do not run,
or you will be stopped by force.
Go, go, go, go!
Go, go!
This man is a prison escapee.
Take a good look at him.
Have you seen him?
Come on! Let's go!
Outside! Hustle!
Burke, give me an update!
Zero read, sir-
either the masonry's too thick
or they still have
lead paint up there.
All right, bring it out.
All right, let's go.
Move it out!
All right, all right.
Circle around.
Take it down.
Over here!
Over here. This okay?
Set.
Let's get some power up here.
Switch it on.
Sir, we are draining 25%
of dome power.
Ready yourself, gentlemen!
One floor at a time,
Sergeant.
Burke...
we are up, and now scanning
the building.
I make four holdouts
ground floor,
and a fifth on the second.
Second floor.
Command, this is Alpha T.
We've got the holdout
on the second floor.
I've got another one.
Third floor.
Looks like a runner
heading upstairs.
That's fourth floor, Burke.
Identify runner
on the fourth floor.
Fifth floor.
Go.
Target is not moving.
There must be old motors
up there.
Goddamn it, Sergeant,
give me a fix.
Getting magnetic
interference, sir.
It's topped out.
Go slow, Burke.
Your target is now on the roof!
I repeat:
Your target is now on the roof.
Attention, all inhabitants
remain where you are...
Let's go. Proceed.
Benton...
uncover those tarps.
You got a hard fix on him?
Sir, I am picking up...
Got him! Got him!
Target-lock:
Eight meterseast.
Go, go, go, go.
Whoa.
Identify your target, Burke.
Burke, identify your target!
Target appears to be...
...a little girl, sir.
We're bringing her down.
A girl.
Next building, gentlemen.
Let's go!
Move it out!
Let's go!
Second building!
Go up the stairs
on the south side!
Let's go!
He's too f***ing hot.
We shouldn't have brought him here.
What are you talking about?
The hotter he is, the bigger the bank,
you know that.
He's wanted by the ESA.
going to come get him.
Just let me see if I can trade
something for him, okay?
Spencer John Olham.
Married.
No wants or warrants.
No history
of infectious disease.
Work record...
...classified.
Now that jacket
and this full-auto Glock 18 say ESA.
But everything else about you
smells like a sh*t
backed-up civilian
waiting on a heart attack.
Which are you?
Look...
those troopers will be back
and they may not miss this place
next time.
If you're smart
you'll just let me go.
Get up.
Get up!
if it was thinking
like Spencer Olham?
Sir...
Next quadrant.
Yes, sir!
Fall in!
This way. Come on, this way.
... at this time
all non-district personnel...
This way.
...at checkpoint D.
Security alerts are advised...
Border patrol.
That's right.
They pay good cash
for runners like you.
You're going to turn me in
to the ESA.
Life's a tragedy. Move.
Whatever you're going
to trade me for-
whatever you can get,
I'll triple it.
It's too late.
House allocation,
food rations...
I can get you all of it.
Come on, help me out.
Too late!
See that dome right there?
A government program built that
after we were bombed
by the Centauri
after we got turned
into the Dead Zone.
See, that's how
you G-fucks always deliver-
too goddamn late.
Now get up.
Walk.
Walk!
I'm not going back to them.
I won't die like that.
You can kill me, but I'm worth
a lot more to you alive.
You're useless to me.
Drugs:
narco-phetaminesadrenosteroids,
pharmaceutical grade.
- What?
- "Jump", "Delirium"
- anything you want.
- So, what you think?
You've got me down?
You think you know me?
All Zoners are junkies.
Right? Right?
No, that's not what I meant.
Not you.
You know, I don't like you.
You keep saying all the wrong things.
Then listen to the words.
I'm not saying "junkie,"
I'm saying "payoff. "
I'm offering you a real trade.
Punch in this CimCode: 746-218.
Come on.
Just do it.
Do it!
Grid units are advised
that all authorized and unauthorized personnel
arriving or departing
dome check-in
are subject to high security
clearance at this time.
"Maya June Olham. "
Pretty girl.
no wants or warrants.
Associate Director...
Associate Director
of Veterans Hospital,
Central City Sector.
She's my connection.
And she'll do anything...
to get her husband back alive.
Now I know that you can run me
into that city underground
and I can get you inside
that hospital supply.
In and out, clean.
So, what's it going to be?
Dr. Olham...
I'd like to convey my...
my deepest regrets.
I had... great respect
for your husband
his work.
We...
We all mourn with you.
I'm Major Hathaway.
Yes, I know who you are.
We haven't found
your husband's body yet
but every effort is being made
to locate his murderer
this "Impostor"...
Don't you think I'd know
my own husband, Major?
I think we'd all like to believe
that this never happened.
And when did it happen?
This "switch" ?
While we slept?
While he showered? When?
We don't know when.
Oh, so, you don't know
for certain then, do you?
We know that the replicant poses
a real threat to the public,
Dr. Olham.
And since it believes
