INT. OBCO OFFICE - DAY

The ObCo office still has an FBI presence, but the programmers have returned to work. Carl enters through the main door and walks to Alan.

CARL

Good morning, Alan. What is the situation?

ALAN

Good morning, Carl. We're still working on figuring out what exactly happened. The FBI is here to see that nothing new goes wrong.

CARL

Is there anything you need me to do?

ALAN

No, just stick around in case anyone needs you.

CARL

Right. I'll do a quick inspection to see that our physical security is still working.

Carl starts walking around, checking doors and windows. When he comes to the balcony (the same one Ville used for smoking), he goes out for a moment, takes a knotted rope from his back pack, ties one end on the balcony and drops the other. He then goes back inside, leaving the door unlocked.

CUT TO BUILDING EXTERIOR: Vera emerges from behind a trash bin, and starts climbing the knotted rope.

CUT TO INSIDE OFFICE: Carl continues his round around the office. Just when Vera sneaks inside, Carl starts shouting at the other end of the office.

CARL
(Shouting)

Hey, what, what's this? This window is open! Everyone come look.

Alan and several FBI agents come running.

CUT TO: ObCo's server room.

Vera uses the diversion Carl has created to sneak into the server room. She sits at the computer, inserts a CD-ROM she has brought with her, and reboots the computer. Then she starts typing, quickly, and without hesitation. We see a Unix command line prompt appear, and various commands be entered. Eventually she inserts a USB key into the computer for a while and starts copying files to it.

CUT TO: The ObCo open office.

FBI AGENT

What do you mean, shouting like that because of an open window? You made us think something is really wrong. It's just an open window.

CARL

You don't understand. According to the company security code, all windows must be kept closed and locked at all times. This one was open. Anybody could have climbed in.

FBI AGENT

We're in the fourth floor.

CARL

That doesn't matter. The rules say...

ALAN
(Interrupts.)

Look here, Carl, you'd better not make a ruckus about small violations of rules just now. Don't shout unless something is really wrong.

FBI AGENT
(Shouts and points.)

Hey! Who's that!

ALAN

That's Vera X!

FBI AGENT

Catch her! You there! Freeze! This is the FBI! You're under arrest!

All the FBI agents in the room start running towards Vera. After they've taken a few steps, Carl shouts.

CARL
(Shouting loud.)

Everybody stop! I have a bomb! Stop and put your guns down!

FBI agents stop and turn around, looking at Carl. They keep their weapons. They see Carl standing with his hands empty.

CARL

I said drop your weapons.

The agent nearest Carl shoots him in the leg, and then jumps on him with a colleague.

We see Vera look back just before she gets out through the balcony door. She sees Carl go down.

CUT TO: Alan is also looking at what has happened to Carl, and looks utterly devastated.
