Pulse Page #5

I found some other stuff that

I think you need to see.

When I booted the drive,

this is what came up.

Josh?

This message is

for Douglas Zeigler.

I'm Josh Ockmann, I'm the guy

who hacked into your system.

I'm sorry...

but now I got to talk to you.

He kept a video diary?

It's more like a play-by-play.

Zeigler, it's Josh again.

How can I convince you

to talk to me?

Whatever you had locked up

in your system,

I let it loose.

I let...

And now I don't know

how to stop it.

You okay with this?

Yeah.

I need to know

what you had in there.

I... I need to know.

I've never seen

anything like it,

but it's burning

through every firewall,

it's frying every circuit.

I need your help.

I bookmarked the rest.

Zeig, I got your e-mail.

I think I figured out

a way to stop it.

I'm writing a virus

that could shut it down.

Meet me at the library

at 5:
00 today.

Check this one out.

I saw something in the library.

I can still feel it.

Like it reached inside of me,

like it took something

out of me.

My life.

Why won't you answer me, Zeig?

I need your help.

Goddamn it,

why didn't you warn me?

Is that it?

There's one more,

but...

I want to see it.

It's breaking me down.

I feel like

there's nothing left of me.

I can't think, I can't move,

I can't take the pain.

I just can't.

I'm not even me anymore.

It's all gone.

I... can't go on.

I'm sorry, Mattie.

I'm so sorry, Mattie.

What if it's all connected?

- What?

- The suicides,

the... Internet people,

the things I saw.

The ghosts?

I'm not buying it, Mattie.

Josh thought he saw them...

and it messed him up

so bad, he...

...he did what he did.

W...

Okay, what do you think

drove him over the edge?

Josh had some pretty

bad sh*t going on.

Josh wasn't on a power trip

with viruses.

He saw something horrible...

something like this...

and he wanted to stop it.

Hackers do this stuff

all the time.

It's a prank.

He got it off the Internet.

Come on.

But it wasn't hooked up

to the Internet.

- The cable was unplugged.

- So?

It came through the Wi-Fi.

Just like Josh said,

he pulled something through...

Pulled ghosts through the Wi-Fi?

It just doesn't make any sense.

It makes all the sense

in the world.

Do you have any idea

of the amount of data

that's floating out there?

The amount of information

we just beam into the air?

We broadcast

to everyone where we are,

and we think we're safe?

The whole freakin' city

is going insane,

and we're acting like

it's nothing.

Well, it's not nothing.

It's something

we don't understand,

and it is coming for us.

You're freaking us out, man.

It's the end of the world.

That's what it is.

Maybe it's the booze
