Prisoner X Page #3

Synopsis: On a cold February night, a young man is found unconscious at the wheel of a crashed vehicle in Montana not far from the Canadian border and a lump of weapons-grade Uranium is recovered from the trunk. He is immediately thrown into a high-security prison and tortured relentlessly for months. But apart from a few vicious-sounding curses in an unknown language, he utters nothing. Then one day out of the blue, he gives his interrogators a list of numbers and letters, which turn out to be astronomical coordinates of upcoming Supernova explosions. The very next day the first of those celestial events occurs exactly as predicted, sending shock-waves through the security establishment. It's obvious; the man in custody is no ordinary terrorist. He is a time-traveller from the future. Fifteen years later, RAMIRO still sits in the same secret prison two kilometres under the ground, but much has changed in the world above. Based on the information he has provided over the years, the US has waged

- Fischer!

- Medic!

We need it right now!

Come on, come on. Stay with me.

I don't know what happened,

he just collapsed.

- He's in v-fib.

- Come on, come on!

- Defibrillating.

Clear.

Clear.

Clear.

He's dead.

- No no no.

What do you mean he's dead?

How can a man just die at will?

No!

He's dead.

What the f***?

- This is my first and

last warning, Fischer.

The next time, I

won't come back.

- Any news

from Lincoln, Nebraska?

- It's fine.

Nothing has happened

there as far as we know.

- You know it's been two

years since I saw my family?

It's hard.

On't get much news down here,

even when Indian

point point happened,

they didn't tell us

for a whole week.

- What did they tell you?

- That a dirty bomb went

off at the nuclear reactor.

- No.

It was not a dirty bomb,

it was a Soviet warhead

that was supposedly

decommissioned 12-years ago.

That's what killed

half-a-million people.

Including my sister

and my niece.

So you and Fischer,

how close were you?

- Well I didn't see it

coming if that's what

you're asking, ma'am.

- I don't think that anyone did.

But still you were the last

person to see him alive.

- I was?

- Yeah.

So, what was his mood that

day when you spoke to him?

- Actually, I didn't.

Fischer didn't even say hi.

He went straight in, same

thing when he came out.

- How long was he in there for?

- Barely five minutes.

- Fischer unplugged the cameras.

So we have no idea

what happened in there.

So he goes into his apartment,

he's alone for two days

and nobody hears from

him or talks to him.

- Actually,

I heard him.

I mean, I heard his voice

last night as I walked

past his door, I heard

him talking on the phone.

- Could you make out

what he was saying?

- No, but it sounded like he was

having an argument.

- Are sure he was on the phone?

- Well there's

nobody else in there.

- Bad news,

Fischer. The tests failed again.

We haven't found a functioning

equation, that's the problem,

and I don't understand why.

We've done everything right

based on original parameters.

Unless they're wrong somehow.

Is that possible?

I don't know, Fischer.

I'm out of ideas.

Looks like this is the

end of project sigma.

Doctor Ellis speaking.

- Yeah hi, this

agent Carmen Reese.

I'm Fischer's replacement.

- Yeah, I heard

about Fischer, what happened?

Did he really kill himself?

- It appears

so but I have my doubts.

Look, I need to talk to you,

about project sigma and this

equation that you're after.

- This used to be a darker

facility back in the 50's.

Did all kinds of

experiments here.

Mind control,

genetic manipulation.

You name it.

Sometimes it feels

like nothing's changed.
