Surrogates Page #2

Synopsis: People are living their lives remotely from the safety of their own homes via robotic surrogates -- sexy, physically perfect mechanical representations of themselves. It's an ideal world where crime, pain, fear and consequences don't exist. When the first murder in years jolts this utopia, FBI agent Greer discovers a vast conspiracy behind the surrogate phenomenon and must abandon his own surrogate, risking his life to unravel the mystery.

Tuxedo boys last moments.

Get lost meat bag.

- Looks like we got ourselves a witness.

- Mmmmhmm.

Hang on...

- What is that?

- Exactly...

- Some kind of weapon.

- Anything yet?

Hang on to yourself, I think

we may actually have a homicide here.

Come here and look at this.

- Are you serious?

- No we don't know that for sure.

Yeah but what if it is a homicide?

When was the last one?

This could be huge.

- Yeah, Lee go.

- We got your next of kin.

I hope you're sitting down.

The kids father is Lionel Canter.

As in the inventor of surrogates, Lionel Canter.

Jarid Canter, son of Dr.

Lionel Canter was found dead

In his Southern California

dormitory this morning

Cause of death

remains unknown.

A college sophmore, Jarid

was the only son

of the man known around the world

as the father of surrogacy.

The Former Chairman of VSI

Shaped it into one of the largest

corporations in the world.

However, a split between

Canter and his VSI partners

Over the direction of the company

Led to Canters firing

seven years ago.

Publicly humiliated and forced out

of the company he helped to build

Canter has since remained

absent from the public eye.

Dr. Canter's expecting you.

He actually lives here?

I didn't say that.

You'll be speaking with

one of his surrogates.

I work for Dr. Canter.

His private elevator is this way.

Please, wait in here.

What a nice place.

It should be.

It's a piece of every surrogate they sell.

Dr. Canter?

That's right.

You're with the FBI?

Yes we are.

This way.

I can't help but notice the similarities between

your surrogate... and the

one your son Jared was using.

I never really knew

Jarid as a child.

He grew up with his mother in California

Who kept him from me.

When he went to college I encourage him

to borrow my surrogates whenever he wanted.

How did you managed to do that?

A Surrie has to be coded

to your neural signature.

I am not exactly your

average VSI consumer.

This was just a way for me

to spend time with my son.

It's a felony to inhabit a surrogate

registered to another operator.

No offense Dr. Canter.

We're just trying to straighten out our facts.

What is this?

- Some kind of Good Cop, Bad Cop routine?

- No sir.

- You tryin' to handle me?

- No sir.

Because I'm not going to be handled.

Dr Canter...

- I know how you must feel.

- Do you?

Yes, sir.

I lost a son myself.

Do you have any idea why

someone might want to harm Jared?

No.

Or yourself?

Oh my God.

If it was me they were after...

I'm responsible for my sons death.

Well... I guess the interview's over.

No!

Robotic surrogates combine

the durability of machines

With the grace and beauty

Michael Ferris

Michael Ferris (21 November 1931 – 20 March 2000) was an Irish Labour Party politician who served for more than twenty years as a member of the Oireachtas, as both a Senator and a Teachta Dála (TD). Before becoming a full-time politician, he was secretary to a veterinary practice. Ferris was a native of Bansha, County Tipperary. There, in the 1950s, he came under the influence of the Very Reverend Canon John Hayes, founder of Muintir na Tíre, and adopted many of his ideas for rural development embracing all sections of the community in an inclusive way. He was elected to the 13th Seanad by the Agricultural Panel in a by-election on 23 April 1975. At the 1977 general election, he was an unsuccessful candidate for Dáil Éireann in the Tipperary South constituency, and was also defeated at the subsequent Seanad elections. He was re-elected in 1981 to the 15th Seanad, and returned again in 1982 and 1983.At the 1987 general election, Ferris unsuccessfully stood again in Tipperary South, but was afterwards re-elected to the 18th Seanad, again by the Agricultural Panel. In the 1989 election to the European Parliament he was defeated in the Munster constituency, trailing far behind his Labour colleague, Eileen Desmond, who narrowly missed a seat. However, polling for the 1989 general election was held on the same day, and he was finally elected to the Dáil, taking his seat in the 26th Dáil on his third attempt. He was re-elected at the 1992 general election and again at the 1997 general election, taking the last seat in each case. He died suddenly while on parliamentary business in Lisbon on 20 March 2000. The subsequent by-election for his Dáil seat was held on 2 June and won by an independent candidate, Séamus Healy. more…
