The Numbers Station Page #6

kill every person that you ever meet.

No. Close.

No, I had a stable childhood

but with an underlying desire to break

free from control or authority.

Restless.

Sense of self-entitlement.

Striking lack of empathy or

compassion for other people.

Bordering between autism...

Stop.

You know, I, um,

didn't always do this.

This is my first

station assignment.

I was on the other

end of the numbers.

Looking at nine million

black-book tax dollars.

Recruited me

straight out of college.

Said it was the best

opportunity I'd ever have.

Told me I'd do special

things, important things.

Well, you're worth more than

what some bureaucrat wrote down

on a piece of

paper 20 years ago.

Hmm...

All they're really talking

about is what's real. Reality.

They know how to use it.

They're good at it.

Why not quit?

Yeah. Yeah.

I knew a guy once, and he

decided he wanted to quit.

He squirreled away money for about

and wanted to

create a new life,

and he survived

about 37 months.

They killed him?

No, I did.

See if you can get

into those files.

Get it off me!

How much longer?

Little while still.

tell her to come out.

Tell her to come out right now!

be a f***ing hero?

Get the f*** off me!

how they got in.

I mean, how can

they have gotten

the door code?

It changes every shift.

Unless someone...

They knew the code

and I told Mere...

I told Meredith to lock herself

inside the broadcast room

to broadcast over

the emergency channel.

If anyone's even listening, if

it's even still on the air...

They've cut into all our other

secure lines of communication.

I don't know how. I mean,

who could know that much?

Even the one-way

operator line,

I didn't even think

that was possible.

Wait.

What did he just say?

Even the one-way

operator line,

I didn't even think

that was possible.

into the operator line?

You did speak to someone on the phone.

You spoke to the operator.

Yes.

I swear to God, if you were

pretending to talk to someone...

Katherine, I gave him the code.

He verified the code.

Yeah, but did you verify him?

"Cardiff, Aberdeen, Glasgow,

Belfast, Liverpool, Slough."

Operator.

That wasn't the right code.

What?

What I just called in.

It wasn't the right code.

Tell me you killed the girl

before you figured that out.

What?

F***! They got to

the emergency phones.

Just let me think.

No one even knows

we're in trouble, do they?

No, they don't.

There has to be a safety

measure, right? No.

Something or someone?

There's nothing.

Someone who

cancels the broadcast

when something

like this happens.

There's no one.

There has to be

some kind of back-up,

like an emergency back-up...
