The Numbers Station Page #5

Mainframe's connected

to the computer.

So whatever's on this...

You said the codes

were impossible to crack.

Unless you have

the original cypher.

But whatever they're looking

for, it's on this, so can you?

Yeah, I'm on it, I'm on it.

Who's this?

Oh, it's the Director of

Clandestine Operations Overseas.

Somebody's boss's boss's boss.

Somebody high up in the company.

Director Atwater.

Director Collins.

Templeman.

Keep going.

Yeah, these are

people being groomed

for top slots in

the corporation.

Go back, go back.

I know that man.

That's my f***ing boss.

Fifteen dossiers.

Fifteen broadcasts.

There it is.

If I wanted to cripple the

system in one fell swoop,

these would be

the 15 I'd start with.

You kill these men today,

you won't recognize the world

when you wake up in the morning.

But they've already

sent the broadcasts.

I mean, what the hell

do they want with us?

They wanna kill us. Make sure you

don't cancel the broadcasts.

Grab that.

Let's go.

Here.

That's all the information from

the laptop, in case, uh...

I don't know, in case

we don't get out of here.

Drink that.

"Of course we'll get

out of here, Katherine."

"Don't you worry

about a thing."

You ever get used to it?

Used to what?

Bodies. Dead people.

Seeing them.

No.

They never seem to stay dead.

How's it going over there?

There's stuff on here,

but it's password protected.

I know, but can you open it?

I don't know.

I'm trying.

mayhem hasn't already happened?

We don't.

Good. Just keep working.

F***.

Can you just talk to me?

Yeah, what do you

wanna talk about?

Anything. Just regular stuff. Like

what normal people talk about.

Not really my

strong suit, Katherine.

I'll start.

How do you know I

dropped out of college?

Oh, that was just

a lucky guess.

Grabbed my file or something?

You fit a profile.

Of what?

Civilian broadcasters have a certain,

you know, personality trait.

Keep working.

Well, I can't work in silence, so you

might as well just entertain me.

Okay.

A troubled childhood

with an emphasis

on extreme emotional

loss or fatigue.

Death of a parent.

Sometimes sexual abuse.

Lack of a strong authority

figure in adolescence.

Low self-esteem resulting in few

permanent relationships. Defensive.

Rebellious.

Highly intelligent.

Susceptible to being stuck in one

position, environment or occupation

for long periods of time.

Wow... Yeah,

you're terrible at this.

How about your profile?

Indifferent and emotionally

detached from reality.

Inability to communicate

Willing to sit silently in one

place for hours at a time.
