- Can I have this?
- I'm not through yet.
Remember you told me to tell you when
you were acting rudely and insensitively?
"Theatrewide biotoxic
and chemical warfare."
- This didn't come from Protovision.
- Ask him where it did come from, Jim!
- I told you already.
- Looks military to me. Definitely.
- Probably classified, too.
- If it's military, why does it have games
- Iike checkers and backgammon?
- Those games teach basic strategy.
Jim, how do I get into that system?
the new data encryption algorithm.
- You'll never get in.
- No system is totally secure.
- I bet you Jim could get in.
- I bet you he couldn't!
- I bet you he could.
- You won't get through frontline security.
- But you might look for a back door.
- I can't believe it, Jim!
That girl's listening,
and you talk about back doors!
Mr Potato-head.
Mr Potato-head!
Back doors are not secrets!
- You're giving away all our best tricks.
- They're not tricks.
- What's a back door?
I put in a password
that only I know about.
That way, whenever I wanna get back in,
I can bypass whatever security they've
added on. That's basically what it is.
Yeah?
OK. You really wanna get in, find out
about the guy who designed the system.
Come on! I don't even
know the guy's name.
Boy, are you guys dumb! You guys are
so dumb. I got this thing all figured out.
Oh, yeah, Malvin? How would you do it?
The first game in the list.
Go right through Falken's Maze.
Hi! I'm Jennifer.
- Is David here?
- How do you do?
Yeah. He's up in his room.
Thanks.
Have you ever heard
of the word tumulus?
Tumulus? No. I haven't. I'm sorry.
Neither have l.
Yeah?
Hi!
- Where have you been?
- What?
I haven't seen you all week in school.
Are you sick?
No, no. I was...
I was doing things.
You wanna sit down? How are you?
- No. I'm going to get some water, OK?
- OK.
- What is all that stuff?
- Oh, it's nothing. I was just...
I was trying to find out about the guy
who designed those game programs,
so I could get his secret password.
- Why?
- Why? Cos...
What's so special about playing
games with some machine?
Oh, no...
No, it's not just some machine.
Here. Look at this.
This is a tape that I got from the library.
It's about this guy named Falken.
He was into games as well as computers.
He designed them so that
they could play checkers or poker.
- Chess.
- Everybody's doing that now.
- Oh, no, no. What he did was great!
He designed his computer
so it could learn from its mistakes.
So they'd be better
the next time they played.
The system actually learned how to learn.
If I could just get that damn password,
I could play the computer.
That's him. That's Falken.
That's him? Wow!
He's amazing-looking!
Can't you write to him
or call him somehow?
No. He's dead.
- He's dead?
- Yeah.
Here. Look. Here's his obituary.
- He wasn't very old.
- Well, he was pretty old. He was 41 .
Oh, yeah? Oh, that's old.
That's his little boy.
Oh, yeah?
This is really sad. Did you know the child
and his mother were killed in a car crash?
- I know.
- "ln the years that followed
the tragic loss of his family,
Dr Falken's health deteriorated."
My dad is 45.
- Once he was really sick...
- What was his name?
- My father?
- No, no, no. Falken's kid.
Joshua.
It can't be that simple.
- Wow!
- What?
We got something.
We're in!
It thinks I'm Falken!
Hello.
- How can it ask you that?
- It'll ask whatever it's programmed to.
- Do you wanna hear it talk?
- Yeah!
I'll ask it how it feels.
I'm fine. How are... you?
Excellent. It's been a long time.
Can you explain the removal of
your useraccount on June 23rd, 1973?
They must have told it he died.
People sometimes make... mistakes.
- Yes, they do.
- How can it talk?
It's not a real voice. This box interprets
signals and turns them into sound.
Shall we play a game?
Oh!
- Yeah. Weird, isn't it?
Love to!
How about Global Thermonuclear War?
Wouldn't you prefer
a good game ofchess?
Later.
Let's play
Global Thermonuclear War.
Fine.
All right!
Wow!
Which side do you want?
I'll be the Russians.
