The Thirteenth Floor Page #2
DOUGLAS:
Did he ever tell you he had a daughter?
WHITNEY:
Why?
DOUGLAS:
Because I just met her.
WHITNEY:
You're kidding me.
INT. OFFICE ROBBY
DOUGLAS:
John, I need the number of that cab company.
GUARD:
No need, sir. She went to the Omni Hotel.
INT. THE 13TH FLOOR
WHITNEY:
Doug?
McBAIN
Detective McBain. Sorry to disappoint you.
WHITNEY:
I'll find Doug.
McBAIN
Actually it's you I want to have a few word with.
WHITNEY:
What for?
McBAIN
Want me to catch your boss's killer?
WHITNEY:
Of course.
McBAIN
The whole thing's a giant computer game?
WHITNEY:
No not at all, it doesn't need a user to interact with it to
function. Its units are fully-formed, self-learning cyber beings.
McBAIN
Units?
WHITNEY:
Electronic, simulated characters. They populate the system. They
think they work, they eat,
McBAIN
They f***?
WHITNEY:
Let's just say that they're modeled after us. Right now we have
a working prototype
Los Angeles, circa 1937.
McBAIN
Why '37?
WHITNEY:
Fuller wanted to start by recreating the era of his youth. You
see, while my mind is jacked in, I'm walking around experiencing
1937. My body stays here and holds the consciousness of the
program link unit.
McBAIN
You think one of them units crawled up an extension cord and
killed its maker?
INT. HOTEL ROBBY
DOUGLAS:
DOUGLAS:
Glad I caught you.
JANE:
Mr. Hall. What are you doing here.
DOUGLAS:
Well, it's about your father. Actually. You said you spoke with
him a few days ago. Can you tell me anything about that
conversation? Did he seem strange to you at all?
JANE:
Well, he'd been under a lot of stress lately. He asked me to fly
to the States, so I could help with the company.
DOUGLAS:
Help him run it?
JANE:
Shut it down.
DOUGLAS:
I worked with him for 6 years. If he wanted to shut it down, he
would've told me about it.
JANE:
He didn't tell you about me. But I wish he had.
MAN:
It's nice to see you again.
JANE:
Sorry I'm late. Have you had a chance to look through the
paperwork?
MAN:
Yes, I have. And I think we have a very strong case. The company
should be yours in no time.
JANE:
What do you mean strong case?
MAN:
What I'm saying is , your father changed his will in favor of
the employees. In fact you aren't mentioned in the original will
either. But as I said, I think we have a very strong case.
JANE:
MAN:
Douglas Hall.
McBAIN
Not bad. Owner of a &2 billion enterprise. Strange, Fuller would
amend his will just a couple days before he died.
DOUGLAS:
I was on a airplane when it happened.
McBAIN
According to the security guard, Fuller left the office at ten-
thirty p.m., 30 minutes after your plane arrived. Autopsy shows
that he died around midnight. You had time to catch up with him.
