The Elevator Page #7

It makes sure all cages don't

go to the same floor.

Yes, it's the lift's brain.

And you think there's a failure in

the electronic part.

Yes, and it was provided by

Rising Sun.

Do you think your colleague

found out?

Yes... I think so.

Why would that have driven

him insane?

Maybe he's got a screw loose too?

It's not funny.

Why are you so worried about that

lift?

It's not working normally.

-I don't always do that either.

But you're not a machine.

Thank you.

He's with someone else.

I knew it.

He's got another woman. The bastard!

Come!

Why don't you go to the police?

I don't have any proof.

They wouldn't believe me.

My newspaper clippings didn't help much.

-I now know what kind of company it is.

What time will you see them?

-I'm about to go there.

Alright.

What do you mean?

-You're not going alone.

What?

-I'm coming too.

I can't bring a journalist.

-Why not?

NO ADMITTANCE:

Behave, ok?

What can I do for you?

Hello, I have an appointment.

What's your name?

Felix Adelaar.

You have an appointment with Mr Kroon

from R&D, at 4:
45 pm.

You're right on time.

He forgot his pager. I'll go

get him.

Put that thing away.

-What's wrong?

Mr Adelaar? Kroon.

I was only expecting you.

She's a colleague.

We were in the area.

A colleague? Doesn't seem like

women's work to me.

Why not?

I don't have a lot of time.

What can I do for you?

This morning, one of your

mechanics...

checked the electronics of a lift

that I worked on...

That's possible. We often do routine

checkups.

The customer can request it.

I wondered if there could be anything

wrong with it.

With the electronics?

With the operating system.

That's impossible.

Our systems are tested extensively.

We have a reputation to uphold.

I don't know much about electronics, but

why couldn't there be something wrong?

Mr Adelaar, we sell our systems all

over the world.

For lifts...

factories, hospitals, nuclear

reactors.

Everything.

We spend millions on research.

We can't afford to make mistakes.

Our microprocessors are 100% reliable.

Are you making them there?

What?

Your microprocessors.

Part of them. The rest comes

from Japan.

We mainly do maintenance here.

I can't help you any further.

-I'd like to have a look.

I don't have any more time.

-Neither do we. We've got work to do.

Yes, we have to fix a loose relay

in the shaft.

Thanks for your time.

Don't hesitate if you need more

assistance.

I will.

He wasn't very convincing.

Neither were you. I hope I won't

get in trouble.

Did you believe him?

If anything was wrong, he'd never

tell us anyway.

What do you think is wrong with

the electronics?

No idea. Do you know?

A new recipe?
