to the head.

Police are searching

for the passenger of that car...

a young woman in her 20s, brunette,

going under the name of Ruth Marx...

and believed to be wanted on federal

charges of car theft.

All Cathedral employees,

this is a reminder...

that the Cathedral booth

at the Moscone Center...

is in the northwest corner

of the convention hall.

Okay. All right.

Mozart's Ghost!

The hottest band...

Don't do this to me. Do not

do this to me. I am Angela Bennett.

Me.

- Cathedral Software.

- Angela Bennett, please.

Programing. Angela Bennett.

Hello?

Hello?

Who the hell is this?

- You got something to say? Otherwise...

- Don't hang up.

Angela?

All right, Miss Bennett,

now that I know where you are...

let's see if we can get you

away from your machine.

How about I start a little fire...

right here?

This is a fire alarm.

Please proceed

to the nearest emergency exit.

- Angela.

- What?

- There's a fire in the building.

- Yeah, just a sec.

Don't give me a sec.

Let's go!

Now! Come on!

Mozart's Ghost!

The hottest band on the Internet.

About time.

Password.

If there's a fire, where's the smoke?

There's no smoke.

We're looking into it, ma'am.

What's this?

"Terminate all Mozart's Ghost files now

and terminate..."

Gotcha, don't I?

Who is Praetorian?

Okay, let's search you out.

It's Gregg.

All Cathedral employees,

return to your workstations.

The fire department has advised us

this was a false alarm.

All clear.

Where are you?

There you go.

You did do this, didn't you?

Come on!

You gotta go to the john too?

Disk, where are you?

Where are your disks?

Virus.

Thank you, Dale.

Save. Come on, come on.

Yes!

Thank you.

We are going to the convention.

Oh, my God!

Security.

Had a break-in on the fifth floor

at Cathedral.

You're looking for a female,

about 5'7", brunette.

Did you see a brunette?

Did she come by here?

- Sorry, nobody came by here.

- Only people are firemen.

Devlin.

- Where is she?

- She's gotta be with the firemen.

We have to find her now.

She's copied the disk.

How the hell did that happen? You were

supposed to get rid of everything.

You were to put a bullet in her head.

She should never have been alive

to make that copy.

Smart. Better call Gregg.

She's gone to the Moscone Center.

Jesus! She could be anywhere.

Are you sure she's out there?

She's out there.

She won't be hiding in some corner.

She came here to use a computer.

Get away from the computer.

What did you think you were trying

to do? Save the world?

Not the world, just myself.

It's too late for that.

The offer's been withdrawn.

Look at the screen.

Everything on that disk was just sent

to the FBl. Everything.

So?

Proof that the Gatekeeper program

has a back door.

My, my.

Proof that Bergstrom and Dale's murder

were orchestrated by Gregg.

Watch her.

The beauty of the Gatekeeper system

is that we can get in the FBl...

like it's the public library.

It's a beautiful system.

Let's finish and get out.

These people make me nervous.

No harm done.

Everything you've done will be wiped out

by just escaping the system.

Really?

Goddamn it, you're in the mainframe.

It's eating through Gregg's system.

Do something.

It's a virus eating through

the Gatekeeper program.

There's gonna be nothing left.

Everything will be destroyed.

Take the far side!

Stop!

Sh*t!

It's just you and me now.

Do you realize

you've changed everything?

Yeah. One little stroke of the key...

and you've wiped out my employer.

You've canceled my contract.

You've reversed everything

they've done to you.

Taken back your life.

That's what you wanted, wasn't it?

I knew you'd do the right thing.

- It's not responding to anything.

- Try a new password.

Excuse me, Miss.

I can't remember

what you told me to plant.

Why don't I come outside

and help you?

The law caught up with billionaire

Jeff Gregg today...

as FBl agents escorted him

from his exclusive New York penthouse.

Gregg will be arraigned tomorrow

on nine counts of conspiracy, fraud...

and complicity in the death of

Undersecretary of Defense Bergstrom.

An FBl spokesperson attributes

the surprising arrest...

to a transmission sent over the Internet

by an Angela Bennett...

a program systems analyst

from Los Angeles.

In other news, San Francisco police

are investigating...

two mysterious deaths

at the Pan-Pacific computer convention.

A young woman found shot to death

in a back-room area...

has been identified

as 28-year-old Ruth Marx.

The other deceased, a male

in his 30s, is as yet unidentified.

Turning now to weather,

the forecast for the weekend...

is bright and sunny

with patchy early-morning clouds.

It seems like summer

is finally here.
