Chain Reaction Page #3

Where's Chen?

You don't think he did it?

Let's er...

Let's get outta here, OK?

Can I help you?

I sure hope so.

We're looking for Mr Paul Shannon.

He's on the phone right now.

Excuse me, you can't go in there!

You can't go in!

There's a lot to explain.

I'll call you back.

What now, Agent Ford?

We've received Eddie Kasalivich's file.

He left college for disciplinary reasons.

He blew the hell out of the lab.

- This is a coincidence!

- You knew he was kicked out of school?

He resigned.

- Under some pressure?

- There was some pressure, yes.

- He blows up a building...

- Minor structural damage.

It was an interesting experiment.

It might have worked.

Didn't you think

this information was important?

I don't see the relevance.

- You don't see a small connection?

- No, Agent Ford, I don't.

The CIA tells me

Chen might be involved in espionage.

Kasalivich's past makes me nervous.

And Miss Sinclair is receiving faxes

inviting her to mainland China.

Really?

Really.

What's wrong?

That's my place.

Let's get outta here.

- It's a real shithole.

- How much does this guy make?

Not much, he's a student machinist.

- Sheen, why are you outside?

- Stay warm, buddy!

Got a loft for your mother.

Very artistic.

- Who's upstairs?

- Everybody. Half the city.

- Do you want to check that cabinet?

- I got it.

Jesus, you could put together

almost anything here.

I want all this.

All right! We need a total lab workup.

It's er... a neutron cappuccino machine.

Yeah, don't touch it.

Hey, Nick! What's this?

It's a transmitter.

It's a burst transmitter.

What does it do?

It sends massive amounts

of information by satellite

probably to China.

Nick! Doyle!

Calls flooded into

the University Of Chicago

from all over the world,

enquiring about the professor.

Concern came from

the Royal Academy in London,

from Paris, Moscow

and all parts of the compass.

But at the same time,

critics say Barkley was a Utopian dreamer.

They point out that the research

he was involved with

was far more dangerous than he realised.

Paul.

Shannon!

What's going on?

Tell me about the money, Eddie.

What money?

The $250,000 the FBI found in your loft.

I don't know what you're talking about.

What about the burst transmitter?

Think hard.

Jesus...

I suppose you're not in communication

with Dr Chen in China?

It wasn't Chen.

- Do you have an attorney?

- No.

I've got a good one.

He'll negotiate your surrender.

Come on. We'll call him.

- Surrender?

- They'll want to talk to you.

- I'm not going.

- What do you mean?

- We didn't do anything.

- The FBI will figure that out.

We're being set up. I'm not going

to the cops until I know more.
