REESE
The top brass are watching him. Do you have the file?

Steve opens his briefcase, then takes out a CD-ROM, hands it to Reese. Reese glances at the CD-ROM. The name....MILES BENNET DYSON....a personnel file.

STEVE
Right here. It's got everything on Miles Dyson. If Frank slips up, what happens to me?

REESE
We'll protect you. You'll be known as Miles Dyson by our computers.
(beat)
Sooner or later, Frank will be gone. It's just a matter of time.

INT. FRANK'S OFFICE -- DAY

An agitated Frank watches the conversation on a monitor. Steve and Colonel Reese leave the camera's view.

Frank coldly SLAMS his fist against the monitor. It shuts off. He walks to his desk, picks up the remote, turns on the TV. Images of riots and looting appear.

NEWS ANCHOR
(filtered)
...law and order is collapsing. The entire city is asking: Why?

FRANK
Simple. Lack of discipline.

He reaches into his briefcase, takes out a 3 inch square, black optical disk. Next to the disk are copies of MEIN KAMPF and the TURNER DIARIES on optical disks.

Frank turns on his computer, inserts the disk. Windows appear on the screen. Red background, white letters which reads in flashing text -- ARPANET ACCESS -- RESTRICTED USE ONLY. He types in his pass code.

Frank glances around the room, setting his sights on the...virtual reality device.

EXT. ABANDONED ARMORY - - DAY

Sarah brings the Neon to a halt at the back fence of an abandoned National Guard armory. Sarah and John step out, walk through a hole in the weathered cyclone fence and approach a pile of rusty barrels. Sarah moves the barrels above ground, revealing buried cache barrels. John uses a tire iron to pop off the cover of a barrel. Sarah reaches in, takes out plastic explosives, grenades, camouflage uniforms. She hands them to John.
