Who Is Simon Miller? Page #2

Ugh!

All right.

Listen, we have 2 hours

until the disciplinary

hearing, ok?

I can do everything

everybody needs done,

as long as I get

a little cooperation, ok?

Why are you looking

at me like I'm crazy?

Let's do this.

No one's hungry, mom.

We need to eat.

You need to cook.

There's a difference.

It helps me think,

all right?

It's all about

balance and harmony,

neither of which

we have right now.

That's a recent development?

Watch your step,

young lady.

You're already

on thin ice.

You are so unfair, mom!

It's not what you think.

Really? What...

what do I think?

Hello?

Hello! Mrs. Miller,

it's Pamela.

Finally! Pamela,

what is going on?

Where's Simon?

He's just been delayed.

Yeah, obviously.

What's going on?

Some complications

at the exploitation site.

We're not sure when the

situation will be stable enough

for him to come home.

Why hasn't he called me?

He's out in the field.

There isn't much development

because of the pipelines,

so cell phone service

is actually really bad.

But he got through to you.

And asked me to call you.

Ok, so, where...where...

When is he coming back?

We're not sure yet. Things are

a little crazy over there.

You mean "down there".

Down there, yes.

West Virginia is south of us,

but it's west of us too.

What did he say

about the meeting?

What meeting?

The mandatory one

at Sarah's school.

He didn't mention anything.

We got cut off.

Ok, listen,

thank you for calling.

Let me know when

you hear from him again, ok?

Will do.

Something's wrong.

Pamela's nervous.

She's never nervous.

Now she's making me nervous.

My mind-reading skills aren't

what they could be,

so I have to ask

what's going on.

I'm looking for a contact

list, an itinerary,

anything we can...

Oh! Come on.

There has to be

a lock somewhere.

Kevin, stop messing

with your dad's things.

Just never seen a remote

with these buttons before.

That's our song.

That was the first dance

at our wedding reception.

This was your song?

Yes, we were

original ones.

Kevin, what did you do?

There are

no alpha keys on this.

So it must be numeric.

What are you talking about?

What's your

wedding date? October...

...12th, 1990.

Kevin, you did it.

What's dad hiding

with a lock like that?

Where did dad

get a lock like that?

What are those to?

You two stay here.

Here? In the office?

Ok...

I'll have my cell.

Where are you going?

I'll be back

as soon as I can.

Mom! What about

my hearing?

Aw! Ok, um...

I'll get you

there, all right?

We still have

an hour and a half.

We'll talk everything through

in the car on the way there.

I promise. - You...

Do your homework.

You get your jacket.

Mom just said

to stay put.

Yeah, I think she could

use a little support.

Already in motion.

This has got to be

a mistake.

What?

What did I tell you?

To clean my room.

Am I on the wrong

conversation?

I cannot believe

the two of you.

You shouldn't

be here alone.

And if something is going on

with dad, we need to know.

Listen, I'm telling you,

this is a waste

of everybody's time.

Take this.

I mean, there's no way

this key is gonna...

We're committed.

Mom, what is this?

I wish I knew.

All right...

Password.

If his desk at home

is your anniversary,

maybe Sarah's birthday.

No, my birthday.

Mom's.

Sarah's birthday

plus my birthday.

Try the square root

of weirdness

divided by

"you're a dork."

Hey! Divided by...

France, Belgium.

Kenya?

- So he does fly.

Sarah, please. Your father will

explain all of this to us, I'm sure.

Would that be

my father, Simon Miller,

or my father,

Thomas Shaughnessy.

What?

Or Brian Powers?

What?

Fernando Calderon.

Who knew

we were Spanish?

Your father seems

to have a life

that we didn't know about.

Wow! Encrypted

government files.

This doesn't make sense.

Sure it does.

Dad works with government

agencies all the time.

No, no, no. This is

Tom Clancy kind of stuff.

Mega-high clearance.

- How do you know that?

In gaming club, some of

the guys were into hacking.

You hacked dad?

No, I figured out

the password.

Add the digits of your birthday

to the digits of mine

and divided by the sum of

the digits of mom's birthday.

Encryption 101.

Wait, you saying that your dad

has files he shouldn't have?

He...he...hello?

Meredith? Listen, sweetie.

I love you very much.

You and the kids have to stay

together. Don't talk to anyone.

Don't trust anyone,

not even the authorities.

I have to go.

I love you.

Was that dad?

Where is he?

I don't know.

Is he ok?

I don't know!

Hmm!

This a phone?

And there's a camera

in my navel.

Way to live up

to the legend.

I want my family

to know I'm ok.

I understand.

But you're not, are you?

Ah! Ok, um,

your father said:

"trust no one,

talk to no one,

stay together."

What does that even mean?

- I don't know.

Doesn't sound good,

whatever it is.

I'll get an explanation

from your father, I promise.

Whoa! Check this out.

A credit card with

no spending limit,

and the last charge

is from yesterday.

"where?" you should ask.

Where?

Switzerland. A store that

does custom t-shirts.

Dad's order was sent to

an address in Geneva.

Bam!

Ten hours ago.

Miss Widmer, I apologize,

but it's a family emergency

and I have to leave immediately.

No, I will not let

Sarah attend alone.

Listen, I'll call you

when I get back, ok?

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

What? No, absolutely not!

You are staying here

to look after your brother.

Dad said to stay together

and you said to trust him,

so we have to do what he says.

Honey, this could be

a very dangerous trip.

Yeah, which is why

you can't go alone.

I'm not buying you a ticket.

- I'm 18. I can buy one myself.

With the surplus

college money I have.

Who knows if I'm even going

to college now, anyway?

What?

I'm at least

taking a gap year.

Come on, don't do this to me

right now, ok? Please.

Fine. We can talk

about this later,

after we go to Geneva.

I have got my passport

and my clean underwear.

Let's go.

No! You guys!

Listen to me.

I know what your father said

about staying together,

but taking the two of you is

completely irresponsible.

Ok? I will take

care of this.

You don't have to do

everything yourself, mom.

In fact, you can't.

Have you read

any Tom Clancy?

Dad's broken his cover

by warning us,

which means he's in danger,

which puts

us in danger.

That's why we need

to stay together.

To any enemy of dad's,

we're valuable as leverage.

If I were them,

I'd so be stalking us right now.

I can't believe

I'm saying this.

Let's go to Geneva.

bGeneva, Switzerland/b

This is the address

from the t-shirt order.

Simon?

Simon, hello!

Let me try something.

You gonna whisper our

birthdays into the keyhole?

I'm gonna huff a puff

and blow this house down.

What are you doing?

- Chill, mom.

Do I even want to know

where you learned that trick?

It's like a puzzle,

making the tumblers fit together
