Tron Page #6

LORA:

Don't even say that. You've got to find that

file before he does..

FLYNN:

Not much chance of that now. The MCP can just

slip it into another system as soon as it

locates it...

ALAN:

Not if my Tron program was running. That

would seal the system off. If your file's in

there...

FLYNN:

Boy, if we were inside, I know how to forge

us a Group 6 access...

They all look at each other. After a beat, Lora holds the keys

to her van aloft.

LORA:

Shall we dance?

101 DILLINGER'S OFFICE - NIGHT101

Dillinger is seated at his computer-console desk. Gibbs, standing,

faces him.

GIBBS:

Ed, all I'm saying is - if our own

people can't get access to their

programs ... you know how frustrating

it is, when you're working on a piece

of research -

DILLINGER:

Walter, I sympathize, but I have data

coming out of the Master Control Program

saying there is something screwy --

GIBBS:

That MCP, you know, that's half the

problem right --

DILLINGER:

The MCP is the most efficient way of

handling what we do. I can't sit and

worry about every little user request that --

GIBBS:

User requests are what computers are for.

DILLINGER:

Doing our business is what computers are

for. Look, Walter, with all respect -- ICOM

isn't the business you started in your garage

anymore --

As he speaks, he types a quick command into the console key board,

and a series of IMAGES appear on the computer's screens: vast

computer banks...rows of-magnetic disks...ICOM's globe logo spinning

in space, covered with a glowing circuit pattern, then a shot of

millions of cancelled checks being counted electronically; then 3-D

computer representations of vessels (aircraft carrier and Solar

Sailer). On another screen, we see statements of ICOM's wealth

adding up, accounts receivable and assets.

DILLINGER (CONT.)

We're billing accounts in 30 countries,

we've got one of the largest systems in

existence...

Gibbs turns wearily away from the display.

GIBBS:

Oh, I know all that. Sometimes I wish I

was back in that garage...

DILLINGER:

It can be arranged...

Gibbs turns to face Dillinger again.

GIBBS:

That was uncalled-for.

DILLINGER:

I'm sorry, Walt. So much pressure lately...

you feel like going for a drink?

GIBBS:

Thank you, no. I have some work to do...

assuming I can still log on.

He exits.

102 EXT. ICOM BUILDING - NIGHT102

Lora's van pulls up on a side street, around the corner from ICOM's

main gate. The ICOM building looms high above them, an ominous box.

102a INT. VAN 102a

A digital CLOCK on the dashboard reads 12:12. Lora is at the wheel,

Alan next to her.

LORA:

You better get in back with Flynn.

And keep down.

She jerks her thumb over her shoulder.

ALAN:

Do I gotta?

But he climbs over the seat, and Lora starts to drive slowly forward.

103 CLOSE ON FLYNN AND ALAN 103

FLYNN:

Hi, Alan.

ALAN:

(resigned)

Hi, Flynn.

Flynn pulls a bag of doughnuts from his pocket.

FLYNN:

(explaining)

My dinner.

ALAN:

I was wondering where you got that

glow of good health.

FLYNN:

Want one?

ALAN:

Uh... got any cinnamon?

Flynn smiles, hands Alan a doughnut.

LORA'S VOICE (O.S.)

Keep it down, you guys.

104 EXT. ICOM - THE GIGANTIC SECURITY ENTRANCE - NIGHT 104

Lora's van pulls to a stop beyond the door at the rear of the ICOM

building, and the three get out. Lora inserts her I.D. card into a

magnetic reader beside the door. Nothing happens.

LORA:

I don't think I'm cleared for this.

ALAN:

I'm certainly not.

FLYNN:

Move aside. Let the kid have some room.

He gestures Alan and Lora out of the way, takes out a small black

box, with several buttons, a -digital counter- with LED numerals

and a small calculator keyboard. He leans over the security lock,

his BACK TO THE CAMERA and PLAYS a couple of notes. There's a

distinct CLICK, an the door starts to swing open ... and open ...

and open. We see that this door is about twenty feet thick. Flynn

starts LAUGHING.

105 INT. A CORRIDOR 105

The three of them walk along a semi-darkened corridor, trying to

nonchalantly avoid the security monitor camera mounted on the wall.

But as they go past it, it swivels and aims right at them.

LORA:

Okay ... Flynn, I'm gonna put you at

my terminal, down in the laser lab.

We'll be up in Alan's office.

FLYNN:

Swell...I'll log us both on, and you

can get your Tron thing running...

LORA:

As long as we stay off the top floor,

Dillinger'll never know we've been in

here...

106 POV SECURITY CAMERA 106

A SHOT of the three backs retreating down the corridor.

107-111 OMIT 107-111

112 INT. HALLWAY AT ELEVATOR - POV OF MCP112

from the rotating security camera outside the elevator on the floor

of the laser lab. We see Flynn's face peek out and see the camera.

His head pulls back in.

113 SHOT OF HALLWAY 113

As the security camera aims away from the-elevator, Flynn and Lora

make a mad dash down the hall and we see Alan's face watching.

114 INT. DOORWAY TO LASER LAB - POV OF MCP 114

from the camera at the entrance to the laser lab. We see Flynn

approaching the camera, stuffing the last donut from his bag into

his mouth. He takes the empty bag, raises it up, mugging to the

camera, and pushes the bag over the lens. The SCREEN GOES BLACK,

115 INT. ALAN'S OFFICE - NIGHT115

Alan comes into his office and sits at his terminal.

116-118 OMIT 116-118

119 INT. LASER LAB - NIGHT119

Lora watches as Flynn sits down at her terminal.

LORA:

This laser's my life's work.

Don't spill anything.

Flynn LAUGHS as Lora goes out.

120 CLOSE SHOT OF FLYNN 120

settling in, loosening his fingers, like a concert pianist, or a

safecracker. He types in a code number, presses the "enter" key.

121 VIEW OF THE CEILING 121

We see a camera emerging from a sliding panel.

122 POV OF MCP 122

from this camera. We watch as Flynn starts typing.

SCREEN:

Access code 6. Password Series PS 17.

Reindeer, Flotilla --

123 FLYNN'S CRT SCREEN 123

It clears abruptly, and the following appears as we hear the VOICE

of the MCP.

MCP:

You shouldn't have come back, Flynn.

FLYNN:

Hey hey, it's that big Master Control

Program everybody's talking about...

You don't look a thing like your pictures...

Tell me, have you really been thinking

about world domination like they say?

(types.)

CODE SERIES LSU-123 ... activate.

CODE SERIES ESS-999 ... activate.

CODE SERIES HHH-888 ... activate.

MCP:

That isn't going to do you any good, Flynn.

I'm afraid you...

The voice lurches, goes into high speed, and then back to normal.

MCP:

(continuing;

slightly shaken)

Stop, Flynn. You realize I can't allow this.

124 SHOT OF LASER EQUIPMENT 124

activating, lighting up.

125 SHOT OF FLYNN AT-TERMINAL 125

We see that one entire wall of the lab is a door and it is rising

silently, so that Flynn doesn't notice.

We can see as the door rises more of the laser equipment, and it

is this section that is being activated.
