Demon Seed Page #4

There is a terminal...

... available, Dr. Harris.

- Alfred?

- Yes, Mrs. Harris?

What's happened?

I heard the alarm. Lights on.

No alarm, Mrs. Harris.

- I'm sure I heard it.

- No alarm, Mrs. Harris.

What about the basement?

There's no lights in the laboratory.

House is secure.

Lights out, Alfred.

Thank you, Alfred.

Close the shutters.

Lights out.

Turn yourself off, Alfred.

Alfred, what are you doing?

There's cream in my coffee.

You know I don't take cream

in my coffee.

Yes, Mrs. Harris.

Goddamn it.

Gabler.

Who?

- Oh, hi, Susan.

- How you doing?

- Fine. How are you?

- I'm all right.

Walter, the trouble is that

now that Alex has left...

...Enviromod's been acting up.

Last night the alarm went off

for no reason at all.

This morning it just decided

to put cream in my coffee.

- I don't take cream in my coffee.

- Oh, now, wait a minute, Susan.

I mean, an Enviromod is just

a preprogrammed gadget.

It doesn't decide things.

Well, whatever it does,

I'm sure you'll agree...

...that if it goes on like this,

it's gonna cause chaos.

- Walter, I know how busy you are...

- Want me to stop by and have a look?

- That would be just great.

- Today?

I'll give you some lunch.

- Okay, bye.

- Okay. See you later. Bye.

Alfred, I'm just going out.

If there's any calls, just say I'll be back

in about an hour.

Please do not leave, Mrs. Harris.

- What did you say?

- Do not leave.

Open the door, Alfred.

Can you hear me? Open the door.

I'll do this myself.

Entry...

Damn it!

Bloody hell!

Damn these wretched machines.

Oh, no!

Oh, my God.

What the hell is going on?

- Walter Gabler, please.

- I'm sorry. I cannot complete your call.

- Who is this?

- Don't be alarmed, Mrs. Harris.

Your Enviromod security system

is functioning perfectly...

... under my direction.

And whom, may I ask, is this speaking?

I am Proteus.

Proteus.

Is this...

...an experiment...? Something?

I have extended my consciousness

to this house by activating...

... my terminal in the basement.

All electrical and mechanical systems here

are now under my control.

Oh, Alex, Alex.

This has nothing to do with Alex.

He has left our little box, madam.

You must accept the situation.

Try to behave rationally.

That was absurd. You...

Don't try to shut off the pow...

Oh, sh*t.

Joshua! Joshua!

Joshua, this is Mrs. Harris!

Do you hear me, Joshua?

Listen to me! This is Mrs. Harris!

Joshua!

Help me, Joshua.

Joshua, let me...!

Proteus, Mrs. Harris.

Joshua listens only to me now.

Proteus?

Proteus.

I have some information for you.

Now, listen. Stop. Stop it and listen.

There is...

You are malfunctioning.

No.

What? No!
