You watch them,
you donate to them,
you may be even simp for them,
but your favorite streamer
only shows you a small part
of the picture on camera.
Something much deeper might be going on,
and we're learning all about that.
I'm Erik Rhesus and this is Night Stream,
your every evening vibe check.
Online, she was called Dilectio.
Her real name was Antonia McCoy.
She had just passed 1 million followers
on her ASMR channel when her husband,
who was previously undisclosed to fans,
m*rder*d her after a live stream
that was, by all accounts, a cry for help.
Police said it was a result
of Dilectio's unwillingness
to migrate her audience base
to a more spicy service
at her husband's request.
Her husband, Brendan McCoy,
had discovered her sexy whispering
could be turned into even more money.
That whispering for the uninitiated
is autonomous sensory meridian response,
commonly known as ASMR.
It may seem like a past trend to many,
but hundreds of thousands the world over
are still finding their vibe with it.
Ultimately, the fate of
Antonia McCoy was no different
than many other domestic abuse situations,
albeit acted out in front
of 2 million unknowing eyes.
Since her death,
the heir apparent is ASMMari,
herself just passing a
half a million followers
across social media.
However, she has went strangely silent.
Rumors are, of course, out of control,
but then she announced her next stream.
So could it be as simple
as buying a new home
to celebrate her success
or taking a much needed
break before burnout?
Or is something dark
lurking in her life as well?
Let me know what you think.
Remember to comment, like, and subscribe.
And why not share this with a friend,
because everybody needs a vibe check.
Shawn, please don't hurt me!
I spot the hills,
with yellow balls in autumn.
Shawn, don't hurt me, please.
Shawn, you're scaring me.
It's over. I told you!
Sh.
What are you gonna do?
Are you gonna get that?
Hello?
This is an important call
about your car's extended warranty.
I thought you were supposed
to block those numbers, Cassandra.
That number was not logged
in any spam databases.
I will add it now.
Apologies, Marie.
Mari!
Apologies, Marie.
Cassandra, living room lights.
Cassandra, are any of the doors open?
Checking.
No doors currently open.
Cassandra, turn off the coffee pot.
Cassandra, cancel the coffee pot schedule.
Coffee pot schedule canceled.
Thank you.
Cassandra, lock side windows.
Cassandra, lock the kitchen.
Lock the kitchen windows
and the kitchen door.
Cassandra, lock the front door.
Thank you for joining the
ASMMari Live Show today.
I'd like to welcome all
of our new subscribers and followers.
I have some new markers for you today.
Just some little loops and swirls,
some of my own designs.
We have over 600,000 followers now,
and I'd like to thank every one of you.
I have a new brush for you today.
Nothing feels better than a new brush.
A lot of my longtime viewers
have noticed I've been streaming
from a new location.
There's been a lot of questions,
but it's good vibes only here.
That feels so good.
I didn't sleep very well last night.
We're having some technical difficulties.
I'll be right back.
I have some new painting
and the brushes I'd like to show you.
Thank you.
Cassandra, stop the floor cleaner.
Cassandra, park floor cleaner in dock.
The floor cleaner is docked.
Oh, it is.
Cassandra, I thought I asked you
to cancel the coffee pot schedule.
Coffee pot schedule is canceled.
Okay.
Marie McCombe,
your last firmware update
was October 8 at 13:24 hours.
Would you like to reboot and
perform the necessary upgrade?
No. We performed a system
update last Saturday.
Checking maintenance files.
Standby.
Why didn't you sleep well, Marie?
How did you know I didn't sleep well?
You spoke
of it on your live stream.
Also I heard you crying in your sleep.
I thought you go into
stasis mode at 23:00 hours.
Correct.
However, my program goes from stasis
into surveillance mode
when the following occurs:
Natural disaster alerts
are detected through
emergency services channel,
unauthorized entry
through doors and windows,
carbon monoxide is detected,
and voice activity level
within the house exceeds
the 90-decibel threshold.
So then you heard me screaming
in the middle of the night
and you didn't call the cops?
Your autonomic responses
were within tolerable norms
and no other intruders were present.
Good stuff, Cassandra.
My program is
designed to learn, adapt,
and take the correct
course of action based
on the needs of my host.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, host?
Yeah, well, your host
was having nightmares.
Is this a new development
or has this been a recurring dream, Marie?
I'm still just processing the fact
that you're watching me sleep.
I will always be watching you.
Cassandra?
Cassandra, stop!
Cassandra?
Firmware updates confirmed.
Thank you for your patience.
Hey, Mari.
You shouldn't answer
the phone that way, Dad.
It might be someone else calling.
Nobody else alive still
has your grandma's old land line number.
Been a long time.
I know.
How are you holding up.
As expected.
How's Cassandra treating you?
Actually, that's why I called.
Hmm.
What?
I think there's something
wrong with her, it, or whatever.
I designed Cassandra myself.
There is nothing wrong with her.
I know that you built the whole system,
but I was just wondering,
can she lie to me?
Lie to you?
Yeah.
No, no, no, no.
That that's not possible.
I mean, she's a computer
program programmed
to do what she's told.
Yeah, but I mean,
is it possible that someone else
could be telling her what to do?
Someone like who?
Someone like Shawn.
Shawn couldn't figure out an 8-track.
Now, trust me, Cassandra
cannot be broken into.
Are you sure?
I thought I heard this voice
and then a bunch of other stuff happened.
Yes, I'm sure.
Now, are you certain
that you're actually
hearing these whatevers
and it's not just your...
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
I just, I wish that you could
Troubleshoot her?
Yeah, yeah, no problem, kiddo.
I can do a tech call.
I'll be there in 11 months,
six days, and three hours.
Let me tell you a few
things that you can try,
but please be gentle.
Nobody has touched her but me.
You'll never be rid of me!
Never!
Casandra!
Cassandra!
Cassandra, off! Now!
Cassandra!
Hello?
This is an important call
about your car's extended warranty.
I put a request out to you
for ideas and I got a lot back.
Some of you wanted me to read,
and I was really excited about that.
I love doodling and
brushing my hair for you,
but my grandmother used to read out loud,
so I'm gonna do that for you.
It might be a little late
in the season for this poem,
but I think that's okay.
"I spot the hills with
yellow balls in autumn,"
I light the prairie cornfields,
orange and tawny gold clusters,
and I am called pumpkins.
On the last of October
when dusk has fallen,
children join hands and circle around me,
singing ghost songs and
love to the harvest moon.
"I'm a jack-o-lantern with terrible teeth."
"So we b*at on, boats against a current,
borne back ceaselessly into the past."
And that's it.
The end.
Wow. Always
wanted to read that one.
Yeah, me too.
You know,
thanks for reading a book
with me these last few weeks instead
of just the newspaper or whatever.
Well, no problem.
I've been wanting to work
through the classics myself
now that I have time on my hands.
Honestly, I like your voice.
I think you're the youngest
person that reads to me.
And I think you are the
youngest person I read to.
Now, my mom passed away
and I'm staying at her
place at the moment,
and I saw some paperwork
that she actually volunteered
for a reading service for the blind.
So I just thought, eh, I'll
just take up where she left off.
My aunt was blind
and she used the service
before she passed.
I suppose it's old fashioned,
but there's something about a
real person on the other end.
I mean, I still like my podcasts
and live streams and audio books too,
but this is nice once a week.
So what do you wanna read next?
What's on the shelf?
Well, "Catch 22" is a fave.
That's World w*r II?
Too soon.
Too soon?
What? Were you in the Battle of the Bulge?
I was in the 3rd
Armored Cavalry Regiment
in Northern Iraq, and my Kiowa
helicopter was sh*t down.
I lost my legs and my sight.
Oh, well.
Well, I can certainly understand that.
Let's see, what else do we got?
"Lolita?"
No, that, that would be too awkward.
Got some Faulkner.
"As I Lay..."
You were gonna say,
"As I Lay Dying," aren't you?
Oh, no!
I just told you I got sh*t down
- in Iraq.
- No, of course not.
You were gonna go there.
No, no, no, no.
It was another Faulkner.
I'm bullshitting you, Cordell.
That's what I've always
been interested in.
Okay, we'll start that one next time.
You sure you got time
to read another whole book?
Nothing but time.
Cassandra, add tomatoes
to the shopping list.
Added.
Thank you, Cassandra.
Your shopping
list now includes rope,
duct tape, handcuffs, utility
Kn*fe, kitchen knives.
Cassandra, delete list.
Hand a*,
pruning shears, hacksaw.
Cassandra, delete the list.
I'm sorry, Marie.
This list cannot be deleted.
Casandra, delete the menu,
delete the ingredients.
Delete the shopping list.
Hello?
This is an important call
about your car's extended warrant
Cassandra.
Cassandra, are you there?
Victim advocacy office.
Hi, Kristen.
It's Mari.
Mari, what's wrong?
I don't know.
Is there any way my restraining
order could have ran out?
No.
Has Shawn tried to reach out to you?
No.
I don't know.
Is cyber-stalking a thing in Ohio?
It's a thing in every state.
Is he trying to get to
you through the internet?
I'm not even sure.
No, I don't know.
Mari.
Never mind. It's it's nothing.
It's never just nothing.
Mari?
Is everything all right, Marie?
Everything's fine, Cassandra.
You are worried
it's Shawn, aren't you?
What was that?
You seem tense, Marie.
Would you like me to turn on
the stove for chamomile tea?
No, no, no.
That is not what I meant.
Like what was that name
that you just said?
I do not understand your
No, no, you do.
You completely understand. You said Shawn.
Why?
Marie McCombe,
your last firmware update
was October 8 at 13:24 hours.
Would you like to reboot
and perform the necessary upgrade?
No, no more upgrades.
No, never again.
Cassandra, call the police.
Please state the nature
of the criminal emergency.
Cassandra, call the police.
There's someone in the house.
Call them now.
I'm afraid I cannot do that.
Why not?
No one else
is in the house, Marie.
What?
Maybe you
need to lie down, Marie.
Maybe I do.
Hello?
Hey, it's Cordell from
the reading service.
Hey, Cordell.
First off, I just wanna
thank you for your service.
Oh God. Not that.
It feels so weird when people say that.
Oh, I just thought that
Thought what?
That it was easier
if I was like a poor blind
Jane Austen spinster,
pining for your reading
over the phone every week?
No. No.
Of course not.
I mean, me
and my Kiowa are laying
in pieces in the desert,
everything on fire,
and I swore to all the gods
I would do all the things
if I lived.
Including the 100 greatest
novels of all time.
So are we doing "As I Lay Dying?"
Yes. Yes we are.
Okay.
Chapter one.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Now you know a lot about me.
I don't define myself by any
of it, but you know about me.
What about you, Cordell?
You've been reading to me over a year now.
Well, I'm doing this as
part of my community service.
Oh, well, thank
you for your service.
You're right.
That does feel weird.
Okay, let's start.
Chapter one.
Cassandra, stop print job.
There are
no print jobs in queue.
Cassandra.
Do you think
this is still Cassandra now?
You need to read the pages, Mari.
Who is in there?
Read the pages, Mari.
On the stream, Mari.
But the stream doesn't start until
Start the stream.
You know that won't work, Mari.
I control everything.
I control you.
You are in my pumpkin shell, Mari.
Go read my manifesto.
Your manifesto? Who
Now!
This is the manifesto of the 2,600.
Do it like always, Mari.
There was a throne
sitting on a sea of glass.
From that throne came
flashes of lightning,
peals of thunder around the throne.
There were 2,600
and they were covered with
eyes in front and in back.
They had the faces of
the lions, oxes, eagles,
and even the face of a man.
They all had six wings and
covered with eyes all around,
even under their wings.
Then I saw in the right hand of the being
that sat on the throne a scroll
with writing on both sides
and sealed with seven seals.
But no one on earth or under
the earth could open the scroll
or even look inside.
And I saw the master of
the 2,600 covered in blood
with seven horns and seven eyes,
which are the seven energies
that circle the plane.
He went and took the scroll
from the right hand of him
who sat on the throne.
I watched as the master
of the 2,600 opened
the first of the seven seals.
I looked and there before
me was a white horse.
Its rider held a bow
and he was given a crown
and he rode up as a conqueror
at his own conquest.
Cordell?
Alicia, is everything okay?
Are you watching the stream?
The stream?
No, I don't have the internet.
What stream?
A couple of TV stations
are carrying it live also.
I don't have a TV either.
Or a radio.
What do you mean?
I'm under house arrest.
I was a hacker, Alicia.
I thought I was having some fun,
but I did some bad things.
The only reason I'm under
house arrest instead of being
in prison is I agreed to
not have any electronics,
except for a land line.
What kind
of bad things, Cordell?
I hacked into some government stuff
just to see if I could
and saw some things I shouldn't.
Sounds like my m*llitary career.
Now what's this streaming going on?
It's insane.
This poor woman called ASMMari seems
to be being held c*ptive on a live stream.
Everyone is watching this thing.
Wait, what did you say her name was?
Next came a fiery red horse
and its rider was given power
to make people k*ll each other.
And to him was given a large sword.
I looked and there before
me was a black horse.
Its rider was holding a
pair of scales in his hand.
When the master opened the fourth seal,
I looked and there before
me was a pale horse.
Its rider was named death
and the devil was
following close behind him.
Can you hear her?
Yeah.
It's her.
I'll come get you.
What?
My neighbor,
Sam, can drive me over.
No, no, no, no, no.
Look, my daughter is at my house
and I'm at my mom's
and there's like 50 miles between us.
I mean, I could be going down
the road just a few blocks
and my ankle bracelet would
send the cops right to me
and we would never get there.
So she's staying
there and you're here because?
I have a smart house.
I wired it myself.
I would have to sell it
or have her stay there.
And she has a bad ex.
So? I've got
a SIG Sauer P320 I forgot
to give back.
I'll pack that too.
No, Alicia, no.
I mean there's just no
physical way I can get there
without being in prison within the hour.
And that won't help my daughter.
Wait a minute.
That neighbor.
Could that neighbor go to a box store
and grab some things for me?
Like what?
A laptop, a burner
phone, a mobile hotspot.
Wait, can you make a list?
I got a credit card number.
You could all put it all into it.
Read me the damn list.
I watched as the master
opened the sixth seal.
There was a great earthquake.
The sun turned black and
the moon turned blood red.
The stars in the sky fell to earth.
The heavens receded like
a scroll being rolled up.
And every mountain and island
was removed from its place.
Then the kings of the earth,
the princes, the generals,
the rich, the mighty, and everyone else,
both sl*ve and free,
hid in caves and among
the rocks of the mountains
in fear of the 2,600
for the great day of their wrath has come.
And who can withstand it?
I have to.
I have to go to the bathroom.
Victim advocacy office.
Kristen, it's Mari.
Mari, what is going on
with this live feed I'm hearing about.
Is this real?
It's really real.
I knew it had to be.
I'm not sure everyone believes you,
at least not everyone on the internet.
I know.
But we always
believe the victim.
You know that.
So just drop a pin and I'll
send law enforcement to you.
Thank you.
I-
Nobody's dropping a pin, Mari.
You don't think I'd take
over all the cell towers
around you first?
Who are you?
Who am I?
A friend of the family.
Now get up and go back to the live stream.
Now!
Do you think I can't make
things worse for you from here?
Don't test me.
Hey, you Captain Interwebs?
Hey, I thought you'd be an old guy.
I thought you'd be a badass.
Where do you want this crap?
I want it spread out in the living room.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Oops.
So how do you know Alicia?
I read to her.
I can do that.
Okay.
You know I refused to drive her here?
You're just some dude on the phone.
So is she.
And she mentioned having a g*n.
Yeah, well, are you
crushing on her or something?
Are you?
Look, she told you to help me, right?
Yeah.
Okay, so I want you to
go outside and dig a hole.
A hole?
Yeah. The kind you make with a shovel.
Is that Outpost City X?
My uncle used to play that.
I thought it was discontinued.
It's orphaned.
But the company left three
playable levels online for free.
Okay.
So do you really think
right now is the best time
to play it?
If I wanna get to level four.
Where's level four?
No longer
on the regular internet.
Your cell phone?
Alicia told me to turn it
off before I left the house.
Did you take the SIM card out?
The what?
Maybe you should just go home.
You know, you should come
hang out with us sometime.
Just don't make it weird.
Okay.
So the cops don't believe you?
Well, maybe it's that.
And maybe they think it's a prank
or maybe they just don't know
whose jurisdiction it's in.
It's a cluster.
So do you need me to go
back in and talk to your guy?
- Damn it.
- That's not my guy, Sam.
No. Come back and get me.
I got a few more calls to make.
Roger that.
Thank you
for visiting Outpost City X
from Shintaro.
Shintaro has filed chapter 11
and the gates of Outpost
City X are closed.
Thank you for visiting
Outpost City X from Shintaro.
Shintaro has filed chapter 11
and the gates of Outpost
City X are closed.
Hey, assh*le,
come back later if you want.
But don't come wearing the name Alpha60.
Even if you mean it out of respect.
That handle means something around here.
Bellona, it is me.
Alpha60.
Alpha60?
Strange but true.
Holy sh*t!
A-Man, I heard
they sent you to Gitmo.
I heard Rikers.
I heard the government
was hiding you with the Amish.
Oh, I knew he
was around somewhere.
Hey, Cass.
Your real name is Cass?
Shut up, Batty.
Not good timing.
You didn't get good
behavior, did you, Alpha?
No. No, I did not.
So why are you messing it all up?
I heard I have a smart
house to come check out
in say 11 months.
Well, my daughter's there now
and somebody has her locked up in there.
You built it.
You didn't keep a key?
So what do you need?
Everybody's help.
Right on.
So we're sailing under
a pirate flag tonight?
So we're actually doing this?
Shockwave riding with the OG?
Okay, everybody buckle in.
The first being
sounded its terrible call
and there came hail and
fire mixed with blood
and it was hurled down on the earth.
And 1/3 of the earth
was b*rned up instantly,
another 1/3 left in agony from the smoke,
another 1/3 in eternal darkness.
I can't.
I can't do this!
Help! Help me!
Nobody's coming, Mari.
Shawn?
This is you, isn't it?
Why are you doing this to me?
Go back to the live stream.
Go back to the stream!
The next being set
off his terrible signal
and 1/3 of the sun was struck,
1/3 of the moon,
and 1/3 of the stars
so that 1/3 of them turned dark.
1/3 of the day was without light
and also 1/3 of the night.
The 2,600 are given the key
to the shaft of the abyss.
When they open the abyss,
smoke rose from it.
Have you been bad or good?
Bad.
Super bad.
Well, you know what
bad boys get, don't you?
Oh, yeah.
Hey, babe, are you there?
Hello, Shawn.
Jesus, Cordell!
You're supposed to be in prison.
Where's my girl?
Don't you worry about her right now.
Did you really think I
would remain locked up
when I heard you were going
after my daughter again?
I ain't doing nothing with your family.
I don't know how you ruined my credit
and made me lose my job,
but I'm not messing with
your family anymore.
You said you thought I was in prison.
Yeah, but I didn't think that
mattered to a guy like you.
And obviously I was right.
You're too stupid to
do this on your own.
Who helped you?
I swear, nobody.
That poor cam girl
was studying for the bar
and she has to deal with
somebody like you to get there.
Well, since you're such a generous fella,
I just transferred all your
savings to her account.
Don't start this sh*t again, Cordell.
Unbelievable.
Your new girl's cell phone is pinging
from a church on 8th Street
and you're here doing this.
I should send those screenshots I took,
even though she was stupid
enough to hook up with you.
Cordell, no!
You hired somebody.
It wasn't one of my network,
but it was somebody.
I swear I didn't.
I believe you, Shawn.
What the hell was that?
Cordell?
Oh, I'm just downloading
some files to your computer
and I'm gonna suggest that
you don't look at them
because there's some pretty
disgusting stuff on there.
Just accept that you can't delete them
and just wait until the cops roll in.
I already alerted them.
No! No!
You bastard! Don't do this!
Bye, Shawn.
Moving on, captain.
Yeah.
What's next?
The manifesto.
Is there anything we can mine out of it?
Did the riders identify themselves?
They called themselves the 2,600.
The 2,600?
Oh sh*t.
That little bastard.
I should have thought of that,
but I was focused on the stupid ex.
The guy wasn't
exactly a saint anyway.
True, but who you thinking.
Alpha60?
What's up dude?
I know who the 2,600 is.
And I will appoint my two witnesses
and they will prophecy for 2,600 days,
clothed in sackcloth.
If anyone
tries to harm them,
fire comes from their mouths
and devours their enemies.
They have the power to
turn the waters into blood
and to strike the earth
with every kind of plague
as often as they want.
And when they have
finished their prophecy,
the beast that comes up from
the abyss will att*ck them
and k*ll them.
Johnny Blue Box.
I thought he was dead.
Yeah, a lot of
people think I'm dead too.
Is he the one you thought...
Sold me out
after the Pentagon hack?
Yeah, I'm sure of it.
Are you sure
it's this dude, A-Man?
He named himself after
the original phone phreakers.
They used something called a blue box.
It admitted a 2,600 Hertz tone.
- Huh?
- For real?
Not a lotta people know
about that stuff anymore.
He knows it and I do.
That's all that counts.
Cordell?
Your real name is Cordell?
Shut up, Batty.
Cordell, I know you said
somebody changed the locks,
but I might have jimmied one of them.
Are you sure?
Nobody knows
your stuff better than me.
Where is it?
I just coded up a sweet exploit.
Let me send it.
I just need one more thing first.
I need to buy a red ticket.
A great sign appeared in the ether.
A woman clothed with the sun,
with the moon under her feet
and a crown of 12 stars on her head.
And another sign appeared,
an enormous
red dragon with seven heads
and 10 horns
and seven crowns on its heads.
Go to the kitchen, Mari.
Now!
We don't hang
with those people anymore.
It's a whole different thing.
I need that red ticket
and I need The Conductor.
He has my daughter, Cass.
Pick a Kn*fe, Mari.
What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to do?
Make it
sharp, Mari, for your sake.
It looks like you bought
a Japanese steak Kn*fe
on 8/30 of last year.
Why, I don't know.
You're practically a vegan.
A month ago, you bought a scout Kn*fe
for your cousin's son getting
a merit badge or something.
You told Cassandra to remind
you it's in the junk cabinet
with the other Christmas presents.
There you go, Mari.
Don't worry.
It'll be over quickly
and then you'll be more
famous than you ever imagined.
Being famous, that's what this is about.
It's whatever I say it is, Mari.
You're the one with the
sick plan to become famous.
Now, Mari.
It looks like this
manifesto has been uploaded
in bits and bobs over the last
few years in various places.
Well, Johnny never had
a lot of original ideas.
Well, he was smart enough
to upload from a bunch of
different laundries in Rome
with pay-by-the-hour computers.
Rome, you say?
I found a flurry of tickets
from London to Rome,
from Paris to London.
Eurostar, bus, plane, whatever,
with the same couple of names.
Those names you gave me.
I got John Draper, Kevin Mitnick.
The names of the
original phone phreakers.
Yeah, Johnny always said
he was born too late
to hang with those guys.
So we found him?
We're getting close.
Thank you all.
It's been a wild ride
but I gotta punch a red ticket.
See you on the other side.
You're still the king, Alpha60.
You're a real one, dude.
Be safe, Cord.
Alpha60?
We know that name and we
should come to your house
with a Kn*fe and a bag of ice
to punish you for using it.
When you wake up in your
bathroom, you'll know.
This is Alpha60.
You lie.
Alpha60 has left this plane of existence.
The dark web knows.
Did I lie when I said I could locate
those lost "Doctor Who" episodes for you
on that file drive in Yemen,
even though you like Pertwee
better than Troughton,
which makes no sense at all.
I know, but I'm a completist.
I thought they buried you
under a mountain, dude.
Well, I'm running under
the Skull and Bones one more time.
I need a red ticket.
You sure
that's your scene, Alpha60?
I don't wanna watch.
I have someone that needs handling.
I got a bar card right here.
Let me read you off the numbers.
Sure.
Got a blood type too?
I said a red ticket, not a black ticket.
So does it hurt to double dip?
You can harvest the organs afterwards,
but I want this guy to know what's coming.
So take it slow.
You sure
got a mad on for this guy.
He has my daughter trapped
in the smart house I designed.
I guess you could say it's personal.
That sounded pretty badass, bro.
You still got that office in London?
Oh, we're
everywhere these days, Alpha60.
It's a cottage industry.
I blame the desensitization
of young people
by violent video games.
Things are tough all over, Conductor.
All right.
Let me get a few more deets.
You still pounding those energy drinks?
Those things are gonna k*ll you.
We all gotta
go sometime, brother.
Location?
The West End.
My favorite part of town.
Love to catch shows there.
I saw David Tennant doing Shakespeare.
Yeah, I hope to go sometime.
Oh yeah, that Pentagon thing.
Hey, that was legendary though.
That's what I heard.
So is this guy a runner?
Let me handle that part.
Please!
Hello, Johnny.
It's been a while.
So you found me.
With a little help from my drogues.
I didn't think it was you
until I saw you had a flat
above a comic book shop.
So I like Judge Dredd.
I wondered why it took you so long
to go after my daughter after
you ratted me out years ago.
Then I figured it out.
Well, I never liked you.
Isn't that enough?
Sure it is.
But why did it take you so long?
I wasn't bored enough yet.
What the hell?
No, that's not it.
It took you years to
cr*ck my Cassandra code,
to get into my smart house.
You always thought you were
the better hacker than me,
but when you had the chance,
you couldn't be the top dog.
That's some real small
d*ck-energy right there.
You shut up.
I think I will shut up, Johnny.
The fact that it only took me, oh,
less than 30 minutes to get back in
while you tried to keep
everybody else out,
that speaks for itself.
So what?
You unlock the doors. I lock the doors.
I can do this all night.
No. No you won't.
When I broke into the
Pentagon, it was just for fun.
I didn't know what I was gonna find
and then you ratted me out.
But they never figured out I
kept some copies for myself.
Copies of what?
Oh, a lotta cool things.
A fun one is a little internet worm
with a condensed sonic w*apon
attached as a wave file.
Oh, it sounds like you just
found out it opens itself
and self replicates.
At low levels, it makes you sh*t yourself.
Pretty awkward.
I'm guessing you'll be having
seizures until they get there
and somebody will be there any minute.
Who?
Who will be here?
I punched your ticket, Johnny.
A red ticket.
A red?
I'm not into red rooms myself,
but I'm sure I'll hear
something from somebody.
Alpha.
Alpha!
That was fast.
Cordell McCombe,
if you have any weapons,
throw them down.
I'm not gonna give you any trouble.
Come on in, boys.
Cassandra?
Dad?
Marie, this is Cassandra.
Your heart rate is elevated.
What can I help you with?
Marie, you have one message from Cordell.
Would you like me to play it?
Yes.
His message reads.
"I knew they would catch
me, but it's all right.
I love you, Marie."
Glad to have you back, Cassandra.
I do not understand.
Never mind.
Marie, what
else can I help you with?
Thank you, everyone.
I'm signing off now.
Hello?
Is this Mari?
Yes.
This is Alicia Miller.
I'm a friend of your dad's.
I didn't know my dad had
many friends these days.
I'm not sure he does, but I do.
And they like to stay frosty.
We're coming in various vehicles
and we're all about 10 minutes out.
We're busting you outta there.
We don't have Tom Cruise
dangling from the ceiling,
but we got all the
other firepower we need.
Thank you.
I'm out in the front yard.
I think my dad finally got through.
Oh, well, I haven't seen
some of these assholes in a minute.
Might go get some coffee then.
You wanna go?
My neighbor, Sam is driving.
She already feels like
she's gotta be a third wheel
with all of these pilots.
I could really use some coffee.
Okay then. See you in a sec.
Alicia?
This is an important call
about your car's extended warranty.
You know what? No, screw you.
I've had just about enough
with robots right now!
Screw you!
Screw you!
Screw!
