milo?
you know my name.
you're famous around here.
i wouldn't worry about it. you've gotta figure most people around here were their teachers' pets.
we moved around so much i barely knew my teachers.
something like that. yeah.
no, i know what you mean. i used to spend my life wishing people could be like computers. least they make sense. sometimes you think they've betrayed you. like a person would. but then you see, no, you just missed a step. you can go back and make it all work.
graphical interfaces. for skywire? i'm s'posed to coordinate with you.
yeah? i ran it for lots of platforms, ranging from the narrowest bandwidth to --
did you wanna be alone?
they just pushed up the schedule on skywire apps. how fast are you going?
mine's not the ceo. he barely remembers to take a shower.
maybe once. i re-wrote it, anyway.
mmm-more like -- i have a little trouble. trusting people.
long story. not that interesting.
then and now. but not right now.
that's great. i -- didn't know.
you okay?
milo? you okay?
so you're not avoiding me.
what's wrong?
why would you do a thing like --
the day care?
but why would they --?
i'm sorry, milo.  i'm sorry.
oh yeah?
so that's in my -- file?
is that my -- scenario? tell me.
he's out of prison?
no.
milo?
i always felt if a -- boy i liked ever found out -- he'd run. he'd think i was unclean.
what about the fbi?
who can we trust?
how do you let go of a secret without telling the wrong person.
there're so many disinformation sites about gary already. where he has devil's horns or they crop him in with saddam hussein.
the mainstream media. tv, or a newsmagazine.
we could cross-reference a data base on media ownership. but not on our own computers. not even at home.
what about "60 minutes."
but still, you can't say cbs wouldn't love to break something like --
time?
milo?
how close are you?
he's got 12 satellites up. he's got dishes on top of 21. he's building this -- mega-network for skywire. let's use it.
a what?
but they'd still get the idea, right?
it's a standard gui. once i've got a concept, it's maybe three day's work.
before they kill somebody else, too.
you mean -- break in?
and what if the broadcast dishes on top of 21 aren't hot yet? you said the place isn't finished.
i'll go look. they'll just have a few more pictures of me snooping around.
i thought the worst they would do is fire me. who knew they took termination so literally?
oh. i liked you. i was checking you out.
'cause their apartments might be bugged?
what'd he say?
gary.
i needed t'see it up close for a graphic. the outpost with a dish on top? i climbed up there to get it right.
the dishes are juiced up, too.
milo? shrot suspects somebody broke into #21. i was in his office when he was reviewing the card readouts.
he doesn't know about the day care.
yeah, that's old, in a tree.
milo? what if shrot notices somebody entered the day care at four a.m.? and tells them about it?
one window'll be obits i downloaded, based on the scenarios you described. the other windows'll accommodate the surveillance stuff you told me about. the idea is, this works with anything, since we can't edit.
same with the excerpts i'm choosing: they'll play against any of the images you described.
you could always say you have to go the bathroom.
you'll come up with something.
does he know you know?
why?!
please don't go.
here's the interface.
tell me you're not calling on your car phone?!
it's three years old, it --
but you said the other --
longitude 77 degrees, 03 minutes, 58 seconds east.
latitude 38 degrees, 55 minutes, 14 seconds south.
maybe it's the satellite.
they're already here. my laptop must be wired!
you checked your connections?
what?
latitude 47 degrees.
longitude 66.
come now. they've got guns!
oh my god.
milo? who's got skywire?
