Salt and Fire Page #4

I would like to see Dr. meier

and Dr. cavani.

Be assured...

...they are my respected guests.

Why are you holding me hostage?

Is it for money?

I can contact some officials

to negotiate.

No.

Tell me what you want.

You must be secret service.

Are you enjoying the massive

support of the government?

I am no secret service,

no government,

no plot of the CIA,

or anything of the sort.

Who are you, then?

Professor, I expected more

of you.

Matt Riley.

The ceo of the consortium.

The consortium exists

only as a legal entity today.

As you may know, after the

ever-opportunistic Swiss

sold their majority stock,

the Chinese,

the Americans,

the south Koreans...

...all ducked into the trenches

and became invisible.

But they're still there.

They are all responsible

for the diablo blanco disaster.

Despite that the disaster

had already begun

when I took over as ceo,

i personally feel responsible.

But you must have known

it was not a singular event.

It has evolved over decades.

We have measurements,

data and statistics

since the '70s.

Data.

Statistics.

I see another side to it.

Public relations.

Don't belittle yourself.

I'm not prepared

to speak about it now.

Because you are trying to hide

a big conspiracy, mr Riley?

Ah, I find that silly.

There is no reality...

...there are only views

of reality.

Only perceptions.

All collective anxieties

condense into

conspiracy theories.

My data is real.

There is a disaster.

Yes, and there are

three million Americans

who claim they have had

encounters with aliens.

Among them,

three hundred thousand women

who claim

that they have been abducted

and gang-raped by aliens.

Now this leads me

to two questions.

One...

Why do all these women

weigh over 350 pounds?

And, two...

Why have we never heard

of a single abducted woman

in Ethiopia?

Hm?

Of course the diablo blanco

disaster exists.

And it is not static.

It is spreading.

And my delegation has been sent

to determine at what rate...

...and make our findings public.

What prevents me from doing so

is that you have

taken me prisoner.

I am prepared to accept

the consequences.

Even go to prison

for what I am doing.

I demand to be released!

Don't pressure me!

This could end very badly

for both of us.

Do you want to be a martyr?!

I'm Laura sommerfeld.

I've been abducted.

I have been in a car...

...at least two or three hours.

I do not know where I am,

but I will play their game

to figure out

what Riley wants.

Hola.

Remember now thy creator

in the days of thy youth.

This magnificent specimen,

Mr. mcmurphy, speaks.

What did it just say?

"Remember now thy creator

in the days of thy youth."
