Xchange Page #7

You better be:

A blind tip just came in

with your address

posted on the Police website.

My guess is Xchange

put it there.

So my suggestion is to you,

to get the hell out of there.

Thank you.

There's something

you should know.

There's a D.A.M.

board meeting tomorrow

and we think

Fisk is gonna try something.

Like what?

Killing Ross Finerman.

Maybe killing them all.

Listen to me, Miss Renard,

why don't you just come in?

I mean, there's nothing

I can do for--

How did they find you?

Your I Ds are shielded.

No no.

You can't shield this.

Okay, we better go.

It doesn't matter

where we go,

they'll be able

to track me.

We have to get

this thing off.

How?

How does it feel?

Cold.

Does it feel numb?

Let's just do this.

Wait, be careful.

Don't damage it, or I won't know

how long I've got.

- Okay.

- Ready, set...

go.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Sh*t.

( groaning in pain )

Wait a second.

Sh*t.

Okay, hurry, hurry, hurry.

Oh, my God !

Are you all right?

Yes, yes, yes.

Where do we go from here?

Hotels aren't gonna work,

not with the whole city

looking for me.

Who do you know

that no one else knows?

Well, I know someone,

but I don't think

you're gonna like her.

( humming )

H ello?

H i, Gloria, Stuart Toffler.

Sugar pie !

You know,

I had a feeling you'd call.

Look, can I come over

to your place?

Aren't we eager?

Oh, it's a little late.

Listen, Gloria, please.

I don't have a lot of time

in this body.

I'm in a G.E.F.

A G.E.F!

Whoa-ho, meet me

at my apartment,

and don't stop

for coffee.

Maybe it's a bad idea.

It's better than getting caught

violating the curfew.

Look, we'll spend

the night,

in the morning

we'll go to the hotel and wait.

H ere I am.

This is the real me.

- Gloria?

- Yeah.

H i.

- Wow.

- Thank you so much.

Yeah, I see you

brought a friend.

Yeah, this is Madeline,

Gloria. Gloria, Madeline.

Gloria:
Mmmm...

So, is that

your fulltime body?

Yes, in fact, but I only

drive it on the weekends.

So, listen,

it's great to see you...

It's very good

to see you.

...but I am exhausted.

Oh, don't you worry

I'll take care of that.

You just come with me.

You can rest

on the couch, Marilyn.

Madeline.

( moaning within )

I've never been

with a G.E.F. before.

Gloria.

You know these

floater friends of mine...

They have their own

body transfer machine.

And you know, sugar pie...

Gloria, please--

I know what it's like

to be a man.

Listen, I can't do this

right now.

Are you still going to have

this body tomorrow?

I really hope not.

Oh, no, you hope so!

You see,

I get the party tomorrow.

That's how they keep

from getting caught by the Feds

with their bootleg machine.

They just move it

from place to place.

So, how about it?

What do you say?

Haven't you ever wondered

what it feels like to be a woman?

I guarantee you,

once you've tried being a woman,

you'll regret being a man.

Gloria, stop it!

Please, I have a lot

on my mind.

You weren't like this

in San Francisco.

We'll do it again

some other time, okay?

There's coffee in there,

Marilyn.

Madeline.

Yeah, whatever.

Well, I gotta run.

Ciao, sugar pie !

Sleep well, sugar pie?

Nothing happened.

We just talked.

It doesn't matter to me.

After today, we're done.

Gimme a break, Madeline.

I don't care, all right?

Come on.

We're taking her car.

And put this on.

I borrowed this

from Gloria's closet.

You don't want to be recognized,

do you?

Fisk had better be there.

H ey, don't worry.

We'll put you

back together again.

Sure

All the king's horses

and all the king's men.

Look!

There's your body.

Let's go.

Stuart!

Are you all right?

Yeah.

How long have I been out?

Oh, I can answer that.

But don't worry,

you're not gonna

last that long.

Gimme that toy, would you?

I'm about to win a game.

I'm happy for you.

What are you doing?

Watch.

H ey!

( hissing )

Pretty potent stuff, huh?

Can I have that detonator?

See this?

If I open this up

and press this button,

the whole world changes.

You found your way around

the Yamashta screen, didn't you?

Yes, I did.

You're so smart.

We assembled the bomb

in the conference room.

It's cool.

What does it fee like?

All your school connections

and family ties,

all your corpie buddies.

None of them help you now,

do they?

Do you feel that?

That powerlessness?

Because other than corpies,

that's what we all feel like

all the time !

That's what they will

never understand.

You're not agreeing with him,

are you?

Not with his methods,

but his argument is sound.

Yeah, see, Rix?

That is a kindred spirit.

So you do all this

to undermine the system, huh?

No.

I just like to kill corpies.

It empowers me.

It's a great debate.

Can we just kill them now?

No, we can't.

We have to wait for little

big man to show up,

so he can watch.

You know, you corpies are all

a bunch of sadistic fucks.

See these keys?

They're the only things

that open this door.

And this one's mine.

And this one's yours.

Tick, tick, tick, tick...

I'll be back.

Would you relax?

Or have a drink,

have a cigarette.

Fisk just called me

from the plant.

Everything is under control.

Toffler and Renard will vanish

within the hour.

What about Fisk?

What if the Feds get their hands

on Mr. Fisk?

What would you have me do?

Want me to go down there

and blow his brains out?

H ey, that's a good idea.

Just you wait until

he's finished his job, okay?

Where would I be

without you?

Oh, baby, that's easy.

In corporate limbo,

where I found you.

Your father wouldn't even

return your calls, remember?

Oh, God, I'm such an idiot.

I never should have dragged you

into any of this.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for everything.

No, stop saying you're sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't love you

the first time.

But I do now.

So let's not give up.

Oh, wait a minute,

wait a minute.

What?

The monofilament.

It's in my pocket.

- Which pocket?

- I think it's in my pocket.

Come on.

- Which pocket?

- Reach in this pocket.

If you say you're just happy

to see me, I'll kill you.

Very funny.

I got it!

Okay, now take it out.

But be careful,

don't hurt yourself.

I have it.

Now cut me free.

No, I can't see

to cut your rope.

Just feel for it.

- I don't know.

- Come on, do it!

Madeline:

Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait.

- Okay.

- Okay, I got it.

( yelping )

What, what did I hurt you?

It's okay, turn around.

I'm all right.

Okay, 1 , 2, 3, okay.

- ( screaming )

- It's okay, it's okay.

- I'm sorry!

- It's all right.

- I didn't want to do that.

- We're both free.

- I'm sorry.

- It's okay. H ere.

Take this now

and go try to open up the door.

Go, please go.

There's nothing to cut here.

It's just a keyhole.

Now we're trapped.

H ere.

U se that to pick up the key

and then open the door quickly.

What are you doing?

It's not my body.

No, you can't do this.

Please, we gotta get out.

Now, stand back.

No, don't do this !
