Alien Code Page #2

---

and living in

your mom and dad's old home.

You can't afford

to turn this down.

Check your phone.

You're serious.

Very.

You sign this contract,

the first half

will be transferred

into your account immediately.

The rest upon completion.

Yeah, I signed it.

I would've been crazy

not to.

It was a ridiculous

amount of money.

They came for me

the next day.

[EXHALES HEAVILY]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Your arm.

Are you f***ing

kidding me?

Don't get any ideas.

- [SYRINGE SHOOTS]

- Ah!

Jesus.

[]

[INHALES DEEPLY]

[]

F***.

- [GROANS]

- [DOOR OPENS]

How's your head?

I feel like I was roofied

and lobotomized.

That'll pass.

[SIGHS]

You ready

to see the lab?

Come on.

ALEX:

Let's do it.

Here you go.

I'm only decrypting

a message, right?

You'll find

everything you need.

If not, we'll do our best

to accommodate any requests.

Is that it?

REBECCA:
Yeah. That is the

chamber that contained the key.

No f***ing way.

It's a vacuum.

They used

quantum memory?

Yeah, but what we extracted

was just a lot of noise.

I'm assuming you guys tried

a dictionary attack, yeah?

REBECCA:
No luck. We

think they sabotaged

the encryption algorithm.

That's your real

entry point.

They left a back door.

REBECCA:
Something with which

you're uniquely qualified.

[CLICKS TONGUE]

Ai-ai-ai. Okay. Uh.

This... This could

take a little bit.

They sent it

back this way,

to this specific time,

for a reason.

They believed

we could crack it.

We've uploaded a portion of the

message onto a secure server.

That can help you

recover the key.

Any idea

what it could be?

We're all waiting

to find out.

Okay,

um...

All right. Well, I'm not

seeing a coffee pot in here.

That's gotta change.

Um, I'd also like a minifridge

filled with beer.

Not kidding.

And if you could get me

a bottle of Scotch

or bourbon.

Nothing under 20 years.

It's essential to my process.

You get me those things...

I'll get you the key.

[DOOR OPENS]

Good morning.

ALEX:

Is it?

I must have

missed the sunrise.

Progress?

We know this work

can be taxing,

and this environment

claustrophobic.

We've arranged for

a weekend leave.

You keep saying "we."

Who is "we"?

It's been five weeks,

Alex.

We think it's time

you take a break.

Get outside, maybe

interact with other people.

- I don't need it.

- We think it'd be good for you.

Yeah. I don't need it.

Human interaction

is important,

and you refuse to speak

to our psychologist.

Even one conversation a day

helps keep the mind healthy.

I don't need

to hear myself talk.

I do not crave comfort

through interaction,

and I do not feel

particularly compelled

to play pedestrian psych games
