Stage Illegal Strike"

She's a political.

So that would explain it.

What do you mean?

I mean, there might

not be a consent form.

Get it?

But that's illegal.

You know for a child prodigy,

you ain't too bright.

- We gotta do something.

- Like what?

- We gotta let 'em know upstairs.

- And how are we gonna do that?

Call up.

- It's just for emergencies.

- Well what do you think this is?

I don't see a fire.

I don't see a gas leak,

or flooding.

I don't see you writhing on the floor

in the throws of a heart attack

But God knows

right now I'd like to!

She's gonna die in there

and she's probably innocent!

None of them are innocent!

You read the files. You know what

kind of people end up in there!

Exactly! All we know is

what we read in the files...

Oh my God...

What if it's all bogus?

The files, the crimes, everything.

Maybe they're just putting anyone

in there they don't like, maybe...

There's a purpose, and there's a plan.

And I'm not so stupid to think that there's

no plan just because I don't understand it!

Here's a newsflash:

We're just the button men!

If we're meant to be analysts,

we'd be working upstairs!

Would you forget the party line

for once and make the call?

Okay.

You do it.

You're the hero.

Just remember,

She was in the news and

they made her disappear.

How much easier would it be to get to you.

No one even know you exist.

Who knows where you'll

wake up tomorrow?

Hello?

It's for you.

Yeah?

Sir.

Yes, sir. Right away, sir.

Yes, sir.

I understand, sir. Yes, sir.

We've got work to do.

Someone's at the exit.

Our exit?

What do we do?

The exit procedure.

Wait a minute. I've never done this before.

Don't you usually do this with Owen?

That's right my friend,

but Owen is not here, is he?

And the rules clearly state

that two senior technicians

have to be present

at all exit procedures.

Right, but I'm not a senior technician.

Hey! I need help here.

That was a phone call from upstairs.

Personal contact. Direct orders from above.

They never do that.

We can't screw this up.

- We?

- Yes. We.

As far as I understand, sir,

only senior techs are allowed to

perform the exit procedure.

Perhaps it would be my be

interest to abstain until receiving

clearance from higher up.

You little prick.

Okay.

Okay, I get it.

Look, you help me with this,

I'll tell them about your girlfriend. Okay?

- When?

- What?

When will you let them know?

As soon as we're done

with this. All right?

Okay.

- What do I do?

- Just follow my lead.

Okay, here we go. Step one,

Visual confirmation of

subject in exit room.

Oh, no. Owen.

- It's Owen.

- Shut up.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?
