All we heard at the agency was

how brilliant Carl Hauser was.

But I know what you are.

You're a traitor, Hauser.

And traitors get put to death!

Come on, come on, come on.

So you might want to give

your little girlfriend a kiss good-bye.

Long as she doesn't mind

where those lips have been.

Oh, that's it, I'm ending this b*tch.

Sh*t, I'm out.

Come on! Come on!

Go!

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Come on.

Sh*t.

Go!

There.

Oh, sh*t.

Come on.

Give me the gun.

Track him.

Grab my arm!

Is this going down?

No?

Level D-14.

Sh*t.

Come on. Come on.

Wait, wait.

Go!

You really know how to pick 'em.

Come on.

Sources close to the Chancellor

will neither confirm nor deny...

Passage on The Fall requires

a current transit visa.

If you do not have a current transit visa,

please visit the information office.

The largest real estate agency

has now opened. Be sure to visit...

The Resistance leader has been

in hiding for over six months.

In the wake of these latest attacks,

federal police have

uncovered alarming new evidence

proving what many

in the Cohaagen administration have

long suspected, that Matthias

and his terrorist movement

are being funded by The Colony's governor

and his district's organisation.

And we're now hearing unconfirmed reports

of military mobilisation.

Sources close to the Chancellor will neither

- confirm nor deny the reports.

- Jesus.

The Resistance leader has been...

We've got to get you to Matthias.

How the hell do we find him?

There's a way. Come on.

You sure you can trust him?

Yes. I'm sure.

Welcome home.

Yeah.

Airlock sealed.

Cohaagen scours U.F.B.

and The Colony every day

looking for Matthias.

The reason they can't

find him is he's not there.

After the wars,

no one would be crazy

enough to come out here.

Everyone stays out of the No Zone.

Makes sense.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Almost there.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm...

Everyone seems to know me, but me.

It's strange.

Yeah.

I can see he meant a lot to these guys.

Yeah.

He gave us the upper hand.

And some of us were really

able to see the best in him.

What if the best is gone?

I'm sorry.

Hauser wasn't perfect, you know.

Could be a real a**hole sometimes.

You're just trying to make me feel better.

Maybe.

It's working.

Clear.

He wants to see him alone.

Don't go too far.

Okay.

Mr Hauser.

What is it you want?

I want to help you.

That is not the only reason you're here.

I want to remember.

Why?

So I can be myself, be who I was.

It is each man's quest

to find out who he truly is,

but the answer to that lies

in the present, not in the past.

As it is for all of us.

But the past tells us who we've become.

The past is a construct of the mind.

It blinds us.

It fools us into believing it.

But the heart

wants to live in the present.

Look there.

You'll find your answer.

I am told you have information

that may save us all.

I am told the same.

The firewall to the memory banks.

We're in.

There.

You see?

Jesus.

Can you retrieve it?

It's encrypted.

What is this?

Hello, Matthias.

You can't imagine how much

I've been looking forward

to seeing you again.

It's been far too long.

You know, you're a very hard man to find.

- It's a trap.

- Shut it all down!

Secure all entrances!

Move! Move!

Go, go, go!

Get him out of here!

Gun down now!

Now!

Well done.

It's impressive.

You'll be interested to know that

there is no kill code.

It was a fake.

You're lying.

Sorry.

It was the only way to get to you.

All this trouble for one man.

Oh, never underestimate

the power of one man.

I know I don't.

No!

- Let go of me!

- No! No!

No.

- Lieutenant?

- It's all here, sir.

Matthias' defensive plans,

troop numbers and location coordinates

on every Resistance outpost in The Colony.

The first wave of attack is already underway.

Brilliant.

Congratulations, my friend.

Get him up, please.

Up, up, up.

You did it.

You're a hero.

What are you talking about?

Matthias is dead,

The Colony is about to fall,

and it's all thanks to you.

It was just brilliant.

What better than a double agent

who doesn't realise he is one?

There it is.

The old Hauser spirit.

You're going to need that.

Granted, there were a few hiccups

along the way... You popping

your memory cap at Rekall, for instance.

That wasn't good.

And then there was your lovely wife,

who strayed from her directive.

Look at me.

She was ordered to bring you back alive.

I'll deal with that later.

But.

You led us here, Hauser.

You helped us win this,

and for that,

I'm going to give you a second chance.

What do you mean?

- No.

- What are you doing?

What are you...

What are you doing?

Bringing back the old you.

We made sure to back up Hauser's memory

before we sent him in there.

Before he became corrupted.

No.

Just think of it. In a few hours,

you'll awake,

and you will be the old Hauser once again.

Loyal

Patriotic.

Ruthless.

Now, what to do with you?

I think we keep her.

Leave her out of this.

I think the world will be very interested

to hear the confession

of Matthias' lieutenant.

Never.

Cohaagen!

You'll be very surprised

to see how good Hauser is at beating

a confession out of someone.

God damn you, Cohaagen.

You have me.

Let her go.

Let her go!

Melina.

Just try to relax.

It'll all be over soon, I promise you.

We'll be reunited very soon.

And meanwhile,

I have an invasion to lead.

I wish I could forget that easily.

Lori.

Sweet dreams.

Hold him still, Hammond.

Do me a favour, a**hole.

Fight it as much as possible.

Hurts more that way.

Jesus, Hammond.

Suspected reports of military mobilisation

in the U.F.B. have now been confirmed.

But what was thought to be an operation

to uproot terrorist leader Matthias

appears to be on the scale

of a full military invasion.

An estimated 50,000 armed troops

can be seen boarding The Fall,

preparing to deploy for The Colony.

The governor has issued a level-three alert

to all districts of The Colony.

Have the latest mission profiles

been programmed into all our troops?

Being distributed to

all squadron commanders as we speak.

Excellent. When do we depart?

As soon as you give the order, sir.

You have it.

And find someplace for her, will you?

Bay three access granted.

We are a go on Code 310.

Citizens of The Colony are

to be considered hostile.

Program all synthetics to use lethal force.

Repeat, citizens of The Colony

are to be considered hostile.

We are a go on Code 310.

- Are you all right?

- Yeah.

We got to get off this thing.

Now.

Damage report in bay six.

- Are you ready?

- Yeah.

All emergency personnel,

please report to bay six.

Prepare for gravity shift.

Drop your weapons!

Now!

Right now!

Lieutenant, we've

secured the prisoners attempting escape

on level nine.

The prisoner in bay six

was just caught attempting escape.

She was with a second individual, male.

That's him.

Deal with it.

Come on.
