But that's not my destiny.

I have things to do,

people to see...

a billion calls to make.

You will die

in the explosion.

You're trapped.

You're trapped

in here, aren't you?

You're trapped right here.

Peter is here.

Jobe, he's in here.

He's going to die.

Jobe, please.

Please, Jobe!

Don't sacrifice Peter.

You and I have been

responsible...

for so much destruction.

What's happening?

I don't want more death.

Go. Save him.

Jobe, come back with me.

Hurry!

Go!

Access denied.

Help! I'm lost!

Somebody!

We've got to get out of here!

The whole building's

going to blow up!

The door's locked!

It won't open!

Open.

Run, run!

Access denied.

Get down, Peter! Quick!

Get down!

There's got to be one.

Let me in!

Come on, Peter, quick!

Peter, come on.

Where is it?

Access denied.

Maintenance line

access granted.

A back door.

Get out of here! Go now!

July 10.

Last journal entry for a while.

I won't let Jobe's death

be for nothing.

What happened to him is

my responsibility.

For some reason, I've

been given a second chance...

so I'm taking my work

underground.

I can't let it fall

into the wrong hands again.

If we can somehow

embrace our wisdom...

instead of ignorance...

this technology

will free the mind of man...

not enslave it.

We're ready.

Good.

They'll be here soon.

OK. Let's go.
