1

00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,595

Look, Ben, this is what infuriates me.
Don't you see? It's so painfully obvious.
2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,069
Why do you think our stock's in the toilet?
3
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,919
Because you're cutting research in half.
4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,594
You've forgotten what the
adventure's about.
5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,990
The industry's changing.
We need to make some hard choices.
6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:26,676
- Save your sound bite for the press!
- Let's not relive the stockholders' meeting.
7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,196
You're killing me!
You're killing my company!
8
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,159
Eurisko is not your company, Brad.
Not any more.
9
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,993
And you damn well better grow up
and get used to it!
10
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,389
You're gonna regret this.
11
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:49,037
New paragraph.
12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,839
As I 'm sure everyone
on the board will agree,...
13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:57,278
..Eurisko has to face head-on the realities
of an increasingly competitive world.

14
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,796
Since the unfortunate departure
of Brad Wilczek,...
15
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,758
..I have made recommendations
that I believe
16
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,037
will reposition Eurisko
as an industiy leader.
17
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:14,232
At the top of this list is the immediate
termination of the COS project.
18
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:18,509
Its disastrous performance
over the past three quarters
19
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,189
and projected losses well into 1994...
20
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,280
..leave us no other choice.
21
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,312
Hm.
22
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,630
Ah...
23
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,070
Hello? Hello!
24
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,311
At the tone, Eastern Standard Time...
25
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,072
..will be 7.35 p.m.
26
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,230
What the hell...?
27
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,877

Damn.
28
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,317
Argh!
29
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,115
File deleted.
30
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,037
Mulder.
31
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,637
Jerry?
32
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,277
You're Dana Scully, right? Jerry Lamana.
33
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,911
- We worked together in Violent Crimes.
- "Worked together"! We were partners.
34
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,677
That's $8.50, please.
35
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,912
- Jerry, what are you doing here?
- Looking for you. And I'm buying you lunch.
36
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,833
- No, really.
- Look, it's on me.
37
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,592
Here.
38
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,039
- Cause of death was electrocution.
- And it wasn't accidental?
39
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,716
Looks like some kind of elaborate booby
trap, but we don't know a whole lot more.
40
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:41,035
Engineerjust found him 12 hours ago.
41

00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,079

- Who's running the investigation?
- Either of you know Nancy Spiller?
42
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,799
The forensics instructor at the Academy!
43
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,831
- We used to call her the Iron Maiden.
- On a good day!
44
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,639
Anyway,
she's putting together the squad and...
45
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,314
..I took the liberty of mentioning your name.
46
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,397
Look, Jerry, I'd like to help you out,
but we're not on general assignment.
47
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,990
Because of the X-Files?
48
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,998
Look, the truth is I could use a little help on
this. I don't wanna drop the ball on this one.
49
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,196
You won't drop the ball.
50
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:20,909
Drake wasn't just the CEO
of a Fortune 500 company.
51
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,798
He was a good friend
of the Attorney General's.
52
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,192
Another feather in my cap would be nice
cos the one I got is looking mangy.
53
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:30,794
- Yeah, but, Jerry...
- Look,...

54
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,872
..I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important.
55
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,878
- How come you went your separate ways?
- I'm a pain in the ass to work with.
56
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,872
- Seriously, Mulder.
- I'm not a pain in the ass?
57
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,315
We had different career goals.
58
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,470
Jerry wanted the fifth floor.
59
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,518
- And you?
- I was gunning for a basement office...
60
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,477
..with no heat or windows.
61
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,677
Well, I know where you ended up.
What about Jerry?
62
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,309
He ran into a little bad luck in Atlanta
working Hate Crimes.
63
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,915
- What kind of bad luck?
- He misplaced a piece of evidence.
64
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,070
Sent it to the cleaners.
65
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,039
By the time he got it back, a federal judge
had lost both hands and an eye.
66
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,556
- 29?
- Uh-huh.

67
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,630
- Going up.
- Must be for the visually impaired.
68
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,598
How about that?
A politically correct elevator.
69
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,750
Third floor.
70
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:31,354
Fourth floor.
71
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,758
- You OK?
- Yeah.
72
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,270
What was that?
73
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,597
- Yes?
- Hello?
74
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,797
- Security. Who's this?
- This is Agent Dana Scully.
75
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,917
- Do you have a problem?
- Fifth floor. Sixth floor.
76
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,912
Uh, actually, I think everything's OK.
77
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,629
Ninth floor. Tenth floor. Eleventh floor.
78
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,678
See here?
Someone has tampered with the servo.
79
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,320
They switched the ground to the negative,...
80

00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,279

- ..so when he put the key in the lock...
- He completed the circuit.
81
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,114
lt's fused.
It takes a lot ofjuice to melt a steel key.
82
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,317
And to throw a 180-pound man ten feet.
83
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,350
The servo switch could it have been moved manually?
84
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,432
We didn't find any prints
in the surrounding area.
85
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:38,640
Sure. It could have been switched manually,
but whoever did it had to override the COS.
86
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,314
- What's the COS?
- The Central Operating System.
87
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,072
It runs the building.
88
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:48,154
It regulates everything from energy output
to the volume of water in each toilet flush.
89
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,478
This is Claude Peterson, a building
systems engineer. He found the body.
90
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,518
If you wanted to override the COS,
what would they...?
91
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,720
First you'd have to break the access code,
which... well, let's say it wouldn't be easy.
92
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,997
We'll need a list

of the people with that know-how.

93
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,038
I can tell you right now, it'll be a short list.
94
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,396
- Would you be on it?
- Me?!
95
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,393
Hey, look, I'm just a glorified building super.
96
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,359
All I do is monitor the system,
make sure it's functioning properly,...
97
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,512
..like when I saw the overload
in Mr Drake's office.
98
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,956
What about the phone lines?
Does the COS monitor all calls?
99
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,079
- Yes, it does. Why?
- I'm just wondering.
100
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,990
OK. Look, can I go now?
101
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,870
Why'd you ask him about the phones?
102
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,910
Phone's off the hook.
103
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,638
Maybe Drake was talking to somebody
104
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,429
right before he did
his Ben Franklin impersonation.
105
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,550
Taught him everything he knows.

106
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,514
Come in.
107
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,672
lt's past three.
108
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,877
I'm just looking for my profile notes.
109
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,157
Maybe if you cleaned your desk
more than once a year.
110
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,748
They were right here. I'm telling you.
111
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,794
We're late.
112
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,117
There are a couple of elements
for us to consider.
113
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:36,354
Both the statistical rarity
of homicidal electrocution...
114
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,434
..and the complexity of the crime
indicate a certain devious premeditation.
115
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,829
After all, there are much simpler ways
of killing someone.
116
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,071
All of which leads me to believe
that our guy was some kind of
117
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,991
sociopathic game player,...
118
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,957
..maybe even a recluse,...
119
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,316

..since he designed a trap,

not only to avoid detection,...
120
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,994
..but to avoid contact with the victim.
121
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,357
Is that your profile?
122
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,351
Forget it. No.
123
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,796
Drake's final phone call
supports this theory.
124
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:16,231
At the tone,
Eastern Standard Time will be 7.35 p.m.
125
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,436
Drake's estimated time of death.
126
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,751
Why would Drake call for the correct time
just before he died?
127
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,910
It was an incoming call...
128
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,798
..from somewhere
in the Eurisko building itself.
129
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,714
Whoever set the trap wanted
to make sure that Drake took the bait.
130
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,269
- Excellent work, Agent Lamana.
- Thank you.
131
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,390
Jerry, what the hell are you doing?
132
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,950
- Hey, don't get all bent out of shape.

- That was my profile.

133
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,429
Look, I didn't think you'd mind.
134
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,271
Anyway, they were just notes.
I filled in the blanks.
135
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,796
Jerry, you went into my office
and you stole my work.
136
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,590
Look, you're on this case cos I asked you
to help me out, and you helped me out.
137
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:08,750
What is the big deal?
138
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,478
- What did he say?
- He apologised... in his own way.
139
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,113
ljust got off the phone with Peterson,
the systems engineer.
140
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,395
One name! Brad Wilczek?
141
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,550
He said it would be a short list.
142
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,313
And it's headline news
how much he despised Drake.
143
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,871
Thatjust seems too obvious. To kill Drake
would be so brazenly egomaniacal.
144
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,317
And fully consistent
with Jerry's excellent behavioural profile.
145
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,556

Fully.
146
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:10,354
This is what a 220 IQ and a $400-million
severance settlement buys you.
147
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,313
Yes?
148
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,557
Brad Wilczek? We're with the FBI.
149
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,390
What took you guys so long?
150
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,634
Would you mind taking off your shoes?
151
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,755
You can divide the computer science
industry into two types of people:
152
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,717
neat and scruffy.
153
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,750
- Benjamin Drake fit into the first category?
- Neat people like things neat.
154
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,389
They wear nicely pressed suits
and work on surface phenomena.
155
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,031
Things they can understand:
market shares and third-quarter profits.
156
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,157
And you had a different vision
for the company?
157
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,199
I started Eurisko out of my parents' garage.
I was 22 years old.
158
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,909
I'd just spent a year

following around The Grateful Dead.

159
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,434
- You know what Eurisko means?
- Mm-mm.
160
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:12,630
That's from the Greek, isn't it?
161
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,280
Um,... "I learn things".
162
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,954
Not exactly. It means "I discover things".
163
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,759
But Ben Drake wasn't interested
in discovery.
164
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,515
He was a short-sighted,
power-hungry opportunist.
165
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,357
Let me show you something. Smart home.
166
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,069
From this prototype I have access
to every square foot of my house.
167
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,915
This place is as safe as Fort Knox and
as energy efficient as your average igloo.
168
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,514
We were two years ahead of Microsoft...
169
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,639
..when Drake, in his infinite wisdom,
killed the programme.
170
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,036
Is this system related to the one
in your corporate building?
171
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,633
Variation on a theme.

172
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,429
How many people know the system
well enough to override it?
173
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:57,712
Finally the bonus question.
Not many is the answer.
174
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,996
Could someone have hacked
into the system?
175
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,277
Not your average phone freak,
that's for sure.
176
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,793
But there's plenty of kooks out there.
177
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,112
Data travellers, electro wizards,
techno anarchists.
178
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,270
Anything's possible.
179
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:18,195
- Could you have done it?
- Of course. I designed the system.
180
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,954
That's why you guys are here, isn't it?
181
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,110
I'm your logical suspect.
182
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,955
You don't seem too worried.
183
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,600
It's a puzzle, Ms Scully.
184
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,871
And scruffy minds like me like puzzles.
185

00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:38,080

We enjoy walking down unpredictable
avenues of thought, turning new comers.
186
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,472
But as a general rule
scruffy minds don't commit murder.
187
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,349
Some see genius
as the ability to connect the unconnected.
188
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,797
To make juxtapositions.
To see relationships where others cannot.
189
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,189
ls Brad Wilczek a genius?
190
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,390
I don 't know.
191
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,550
But I do know this for certain.
192
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,598
He has a predilection
for elaborate game playing...
193
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,035
..and knowledge of the Eurisko building.
194
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,079
And he has a demonstrable motive
for killing Benjamin Drake.
195
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,710
The question remains.
196
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,232
But if he's so clever, how do we nail him?
197
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,355
End of eld journal, October 24th 1993.
198
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,156
File opened.

199
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,519
From the outset,
I knew Eurisko would expand effectively,...
200
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:33,116
..not by traditional Western structures,
but by employing certain Zen beliefs...
201
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,509
..and other Eastern philosophies.
202
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,835
..and other Eastern philosophies.
203
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,870
..Eastern philosophies...
204
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,356
..Eastern...
205
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,790
Would you give me a second?
206
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:02,394
Look, I'm here with my hat in my hand.
207
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,358
I screwed up. I'm sorry.
What more can I say?
208
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,752
All you had to do was ask.
I would have helped you with the profile.
209
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,197
- You don't know what it's like.
- What what's like?
210
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,952
You heard about Atlanta?
211
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,190
They got me on six months' probation.
212
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,078

I gotta file daily reports

like some cherry-new agent.
213
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,879
That was bad luck.
Could have happened to anybody.
214
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,156
Not to you.
215
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,473
Don't run yourself down.
You're a good agent.
216
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,951
- We did some good work together.
- Let's face it, I was tagging along.
217
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,270
- That's not how it was.
- How would you know?
218
00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:41,557
You were too busy dazzling them
up there on the high wire.
219
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,517
Mulder.
220
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,670
Take a look.
221
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,714
We borrowed this from
the voice biometrics lab at Georgetown.
222
00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:00,874
It's a computer spectrogram capable of
identifying individual speech patterns.
223
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,794
This is the recording the COS made
of the phone call Drake received
224
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,552
just before he died.
225

00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,039

At the tone,
Eastern Standard Time will be 7.35 p.m.
226
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,279
This we put together
from a series of lectures
227
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:20,079
Wilczek gave at the Smithsonian last year.
228
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,912
At the tone,
Eastern Standard Time will be 7.35 p.m.
229
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,750
Now we'll stack them.
230
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,790
At the tone,
Eastern Standard Time will be 7.35 p.m.
231
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:41,036
- You saying this is the same person?
- I'm saying both voices are Brad Wilczek's.
232
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:43,190
He may have disguised his voice,
233
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,272
but not the formants unique
to his own speech patterns.
234
00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:49,477
Which means that
he was the one that killed Drake.
235
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,120
He had the motive and the means.
236
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,953
And now we have the physical evidence.
237
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,951
Judge Benson lives in Washington Heights.
I can get a warrant in less than an hour.
238

00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,349

Someone must make sure
Wilczek stays put.
239
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,989
- I'll go with you.
- No, I'm gonna bring him in alone.
240
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,718
I need this one, Mulder.
241
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,319
All right.
242
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,308
Come on, come on. Let me in.
243
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:47,835
Damn!
244
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,630
Mr Wilczek!
245
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,955
Going up.
246
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,998
Second floor. Third floor. Fourth...
247
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,358
- Can I help you?
- FBI.
248
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,631
Welcome back, Brad.
249
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,718
You're not equipped
with a voice synthesizer.
250
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,675
What is my user level?
251
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,792
That is now at the discretion
of the operating system.

252
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,512
Going up.
253
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,558
Second floor. Third floor. Fourth floor.
254
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:43,715
Fifth floor. Sixth floor.
Seventh floor. Eighth floor. Ninth floor.
255
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:49,272
Tenth floor. Eleventh floor.
Twelfth floor. Fourteenth floor.
256
00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:52,716
Fifteenth floor. Sixteenth floor.
257
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,870
What the hell...?
258
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,638
What are you doing?
259
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,111
Sony. Those commands are not available
at your current user level.
260
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,872
Try again.
261
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,078
Twenty-third floor. Twenty-fourth floor.
262
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,835
- What are you doing?!
- What are you doing?
263
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,593
Twenty-eighth floor. Twenty-ninth floor.
264
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,318
Thirtieth floor.
265
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:25,958
Twenty-ninth. Thirtieth.
Twenty-ninth. Thirtieth...

266
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,794
Twenty-ninth. Thirtieth.
Twenty-ninth. Thirtieth...
267
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,950
Oh, man!
268
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,716
Going down.
269
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,797
No! Don't do this!
270
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,795
Oh, my God.
271
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,550
Program executed.
272
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,876
I heard about Jerry.
273
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,310
I'm sorry.
274
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,230
I don't think Wilczek did it.
275
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,117
What?
276
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,710
It doesn't make sense.
277
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,870
Why would he go back to Eurisko?
278
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,999
To destroy evidence. To cover his tracks.
279
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,868
If you were gonna destroy evidence,
would you pose for the cameras?
280

00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,670

Mulder.
281
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,270
You've been through a lot.
282
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,914
More than I think even you realise.
283
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,914
I think Wilczek is smarter than this.
284
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,910
He just signed a confession.
285
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,750
How much proof do you need?
286
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,274
This is a crime scene. You'll have to leave.
287
00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:41,749
Yeah, I know. I ordered the subpoena.
288
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,594
- That subpoena's been obviated.
- What are you talking about?
289
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:50,913
Unless you've got a Code 5 clearance,
I'm gonna have to ask you to turn back.
290
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:21,749
- Thanks for coming.
- I'm here against my betterjudgement.
291
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:26,595
In the future I must insist that you respect
the terms of our arrangement.
292
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,753
Why is Wilczek
under a Code 5 investigation?
293
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,717
Why do the Defence Department want him?

294
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:37,749
Why do you think they want the most
innovative programmer in this hemisphere?
295
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,876
- Software?
- Yeah.
296
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,589
For years Wilczek has
thumbed his nose at any contract
297
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,636
involving weapons applications.
298
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,756
He's a bleeding heart.
299
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,956
What kind of software?
300
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,669
How much do you know
about artificial intelligence?
301
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,194
I thought it was only theoretical.
302
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,350
It was... until two years ago.
303
00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,509
Remember Helsinki?
304
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,672
The first time a chess-playing
computer beat a grandmaster?
305
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,716
That was Wilczek's program.
306
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,077
And the rumour was that he did it
by developing the first adaptive network.
307
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,435

An adaptive network?
308
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,193
It's a learning machine.
309
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,834
A computer that actually thinks.
310
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,639
And it's, uh, become
something of a holy grail...
311
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,952
..for some of our more inquisitive
colleagues in the Department of Defence.
312
00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:34,954
They make me wear shoes all the time.
What else do you want from me?
313
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,191
Why are you willing to spend
the rest of your life in prison
314
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,838
for a crime you didn't commit?
315
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,391
- What are you talking about? I'm guilty!
- I know you're innocent!
316
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,715
You're protecting the machine.
The Central Operating System at Eurisko.
317
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,997
If I'm protecting anything,
it's not the machine.
318
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,750
Then what?
319
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,912
After the bomb was dropped
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki,...
320
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,678

..Robert Oppenheimer spent

the rest of his life regretting
321
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,035
he'd ever glimpsed an atom.
322
00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:14,429
Oppenheimer may have
regretted his actions,
323
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,159
but he never denied responsibility for them.
324
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,192
He loved the work, Mr Mulder.
325
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,834
His mistake was in sharing it
with an immoral government.
326
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,790
I won't make the same mistake.
327
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,988
But your machine killed Drake.
328
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,552
And it killed my friend.
329
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,515
I'm sorry about what happened,...
330
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,875
..but there's nothing I can do.
331
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,951
And you talk about morality!
332
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:48,830
You're afraid of the government, but you'll
accept the risk your machine will kill again!
333
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,309
Lesser of two evils.
334
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,916

What about a third option?

335
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,989
You created that machine.
336
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,435
Now you tell me how to destroy it.
337
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,713
Wilczek can create a virus
to destroy the system.
338
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,759
Mulder, don't you see? Blaming the machine
is an alibi, and a bad one.
339
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,956
It's the only thing that makes sense.
340
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,759
The COS project was posting
big losses for Eurisko.
341
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,910
Drake was about to end the programme.
342
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,037
So the machine killed Drake
out of self-defence?
343
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,749
Self-preservation the primary instinct of all sentient beings.
344
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,914
Mulder, that level of artificial intelligence
is decades away from being realised.
345
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,238
Then why was our government
trying to usurp Wilczek's research?
346
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,157
I think you're looking for something
that isn't there.
347
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,038

And I think it has

something to do with Jerry.
348
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,911
Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea
if you talked to someone.
349
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,830
You're probably right.
350
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,632
- Where are you going?
- To talk to someone.
351
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,195
How much time do you need?
352
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,990
Hello?
353
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,796
Oh, my God.
354
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:21,273
This is Special Agent Dana Scully,
ID number 2317-616.
355
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,915
I need you to run a quick trace
on a number for me. Yeah.
356
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,513
202-555-6431.
357
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,718
Yeah, that's my number.
Somebody's accessing my computer.
358
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,798
- Mulder!
- Scully, what are you doing here?
359
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:05,237
Someone or something's been scanning
my computer files, tapping my phones.
360
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,148

I traced the line.

It came from somewhere in there.
361
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,196
It's the machine.
362
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,157
How can we get in?
363
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,916
Remember the Trojan Horse?
364
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,033
Open sesame.
365
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:53,953
Oh, what the...
366
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,630
Mulder!
367
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,915
So much for the element of surprise!
368
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,990
What do you say we take the stairs?
369
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,709
28 down, one to go.
370
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,797
Oh, great.
371
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,552
Mulder?
372
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,390
Trick or treat?
373
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,318
No!
374
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,518
- What are you doing?
- Don't wanna make the mistake Drake did.

375
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,277
Who you lookin' at?
376
00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:25,429
There should be a way for you
to drop down and open the door.
377
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,717
Come on, Scully.
378
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,277
Scully?
379
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,872
Agent Mulder. What are you doing here?
380
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,670
Ah...
381
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,756
Argh!
382
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,075
Ah... Ah!
383
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,750
Ah! Argh!
384
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,430
Aaargh!
385
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,159
Uh!
386
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:09,111
The machine's been acting all crazy.
Power surges, shut-offs.
387
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,270
That's why I'm here so late.
388
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:14,757
- Where's the B-port?
- Oh, it's right back here.
389

00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:30,038

Are you sure you know what you're doing?
Because if you don't, it's myjob on the line.
390
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:37,515
Damn.
391
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,675
System access granted.
392
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,470
User code: level 7.
393
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,710
Now I can put in the virus.
394
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,756
Not bad, Agent Mulder.
395
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:31,231
You know, I've been trying
to access the CPU for the past two years.
396
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,915
Now, please, take out your gun
and remove the clip.
397
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,557
Careful.
398
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,472
Defence Department?
399
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,518
Let's say our paychecks are signed
by the same person.
400
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,478
Now give me the diskette
and step away from there.
401
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,199
You don't want to test my resolve,
Agent Mulder.
402
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,630
Put down the gun.

403
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:16,233
- You don't know what you're dealing with.
- Shut up and drop the gun!
404
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,154
You're making a mistake, Agent Scully.
405
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,749
Compromising your sworn duty.
406
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,674
This operation is more sensitive
than you can possibly imagine.
407
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,309
- Don't listen to him.
- The technology in this machine...
408
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,595
..is of enormous scientific interest.
409
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,558
It's a monster.
lt's killed two people.
410
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,756
They can't handle it any better than Wilczek.
411
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,393
Make no mistake.
412
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,948
You will be held accountable.
413
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,237
Mulder, put in the disk.
414
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,390
What are you doing, Brad?
415
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,870
Don 't do this, Brad.
416
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:09,480
Bad command or le name.

Sector 7 not found home.

417
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,637
Brad...
418
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,150
Brad...
419
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,958
Brad,... why?
420
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,789
I checked with the Department
of Corrections subcommittee.
421
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:23,078
- I even petitioned the Attorney General.
- You won't find him.
422
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,789
They can't take a man like Brad Wilczek
without an explanation.
423
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,429
They can do anything they want.
424
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,356
Where is he?
425
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,550
In the middle of what we in the trade call
"hard bargaining".
426
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,517
Wilczek won't deal.
He'll never work for them.
427
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:46,435
Loss of freedom does funny things to a man,
and Wilczek confessed to two murders.
428
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:51,275
And you effectively destroyed the only
evidence that could have exonerated him.
429
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,956
What else could I have done?

430
00:42:55,840 --> 00:43:00,675
Nothing, unless you were willing
to let the technology survive.
431
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,277
The Department of Defence
still hasn't found anything?
432
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:10,433
They've been on it for five days.
Wilczek's virus was thorough.
433
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,956
It left no trace of the artificial intelligence.
434
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,070
The machine is dead.
435
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:35,154
We pushed the pulse code
modulations to the limit.
436
00:43:35,240 --> 00:43:37,310
Nothing.
437
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,677
We've combed the parsing subroutine.
438
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,830
Yes, sir. Twice.
439
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,151
No, sir. Still nothing, but I'd like to request...
440
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:55,793
Yes, sir.
441
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,950
No, I understand.
442
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,917
Yes, sir.
443
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,555
Six more hours before we have to consign

444
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,518
the whole damn thing
to the metal shredder.
445
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,750
We'll do what we can, sir.
446
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,669
I'm gonna gure this thing out if it kills me.
447
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:14,752
I made this!
