Welcome to the game, Sydney Bloom...
VR.5
SISTERS
COLLEEN FLYNN
WILLIE GARSON
with DAVID MCCALLUM
as doctor Joseph Bloom
What are you doing?
Doing this. What are you doing?
Nothing.
You've been going up and down the stairs for an hour now.
You've been watching me?
I don't need to. My retroscope tells me so.
Duncan, do you dream?
On bare foot in the woods, a firefly, a fish...
I've had this dream...
So the train, gone through the tunnel
has to turn the tracks.
...with my father and my sister.
It's the same dream every time.
It wasn't your fault, Syd. You've got to know that.
Just...come hang with me.
VR.5.
VR - what?!
VR.1 is the computer screen.
VR.2 is an interactive stream like a videogame.
VR.3 would be a flight simulator.
And VR.4 - cyberspace.
Then in VR.5...
I thought that you're not gonna do this any more.
I thought that you hated it.
I do...but...
But?
I love it.
Wow! What to my wondering eyes should appear?
I just thought...I...
I'd hate to think that you actually liked working for me.
I don't work for you. I work for TelCal.
Oh, yes, right, I forgot, you were just some simple telephone worker, weren't you?
Do you think every time I go into the VR,
I go deeper into my subconscious?
No one knows.
I'm scared it's affecting my memory.
I think that memory is a collection of neurons dancing around in the cortex
and when you're playing around with them, it could be scary and seductive,
and then it can become addictive and obsessive.
Not me.
Oh, no, not you. No way. Never.
Doctor Morgan!
What will happen?
I've been doing it around for years. I was further ahead in that technology
than anybody...oh, almost anybody.
Then you came along and you were a giant step further.
And I can tell you one thing for certain:
No one knows.
Next.
Are you new here?
You like old movies, huh?
That's all of it.
Next.
Excuse me...
Next!
I saw you.
I hate to say that, it's not my business, but I saw you.
Saw me what?
I saw you take the money.
What?
You took a twenty and you took a ten.
And you can go to cort.
What are you talking about?
How did you see such a thing?! I'm shocked!
I saw you.
So you like old movies, huh?
MOVIE THEATRE
I'll take you to a movie where a crime doesn't pay.
Just a little lesson.
Hallo.
What's your pleasure, miss?
Could you tell me where the powder room is?
Through that very door.
Thank you.
I'd be pleased to accompany you.
What?
On your journey. To the ladies' room.
Excuse me?
Just an idle thought.
I don't think so.
I'd known you'd be here!
This is perfect!
I beg your pardon?
As soon as I find her, I want you to be sure... Oh, I know, you're not you.
You know who I am?
Don't you?
Are you quite all right?
This is crazy.
Don't move.
There you are.
I need your help!
I've been looking for you.
The thing is stuck.
It's about time.
Doctor Morgan!
Don't call loud without need.
But the cop is an insider.
And you came back to warn me?
How sweet.
Not exactly.
A crime doesn't pay...
Hey, you!
I see you! I've seen what you're doing!
Oh, no, this isn't me. It's not me, it's her!
What is it?
It's the manager.
No. You don't understand, sir. It's not me...
It's really...It's not...
Where are we going?
Come on, run!
I can't run with those shoes.
What happened?
Crazy!
Doctor Morgan?
I thought you weren't there.
No, I was...busy.
We have a job for you.
I thought you'd be excited.
Well, If not excited, then at least interested.
If not interested, at least...testy.
Come right in.
Of course. How are you?
Ok.
What have you been doing?
Now I'm packing...working...
And?
Nothing.
Why is it that I find it a little hard to believe?
No...I did something else.
I see...
Last night I was fooling around in a...
You've been...fooling around?
In VR.
You even sneaked a little phone calling on me?
You took me in?
Oh, no. But I took somebody else in and you just appeared.
Who?
Who was he?
What happened?
I don't know.
Not what I expected.
It was not what I programmed.
What are you toying around with?
This is private.
Well, everything is personal and private.
Anything from your subconscious can be pulled into the VR,
You know that, right?
Anything and anybody else's.
People. Incidents. Memories.
Traumas. Pathology.
Any kind of baggage.
Good or bad.
It's not like a watertight compartment in there.
You know that, right?
What you've done is you've linked up our waking dreams
and our sleeping dreams.
It's a gift. You've connected them
and that's why you're so important and so dangerous.
And that's why we have to protect you,
and that's why you can't be going off
like some kind of a loose can and just pulling in
anybody you want to.
But it's fine for you to say: "Dial, here".
You can't even go in there without me.
I have to find out what this means.
For me. For my life.
I just...The Committee worries about you.
Thanks.
I do, too.
Oh, sorry to interrupt.
My glasses...
I wish I could work outside.
I'm cramped inside all day.
You're paid more.
Really?
Linemen get $78.56 per day, to start, cashiers - $56.10.
That's $20,740 per year versus $14,809 and 60 cents in round numbers.
More than five thousand between us now.
I know that.
Well, what that means: anybody's hour is
done to the pennie.
I came for my glasses...
Here you go.
Thank you.
You?
Do you remember?
I remember.
All of it?
I remember you accused me of stealing.
That's enough, isn't it?
You do it for this roll?
What are you talking about?
Just a skill you can call out.
You don't know anything.
They're gonna send you to prison.
One word...
One word from you...
and I'll do whatever I have to do to protect myself...
and destroy you.
Now I got you.
This time I've got a word.
BANK
A little crime - a little punishment.
I know what to do.
Look. You still have two choices...
I've planned it.
You don't have to...
Are you chicking out of me? - No.
Just keep the car running, get ready to drive,
and don't worry about it. I'll be back in three minutes.
Sydney!
Janine...
Wow!
Where that came from?
And here he comes...
In the bank...
Go into the bank...
Go...into...the bank!
Excuse me, officer, I'm so sorry about the inconvinience, but...
Officer!
Officer?
Morgan! She's robbing the bank!
No, she was asking about the road .
Not her!
Come back!
I can't allow you to do this!
What are you doing here?
I'm going to get you out of here.
It's too late.
Now what, you want to kill somebody?
I need the money.
Money?...Come on.
Everybody! On the floor now!
The girls!
Come on!
Stop! I'm robbing the bank! Open the safe!
No.
Do it!
No.
Think about your life.
I don't like my life.
Well, I'll just have to...just...
There's just one thing. You are pretty attractive.
If you could...sort of...
Sort of...?
You know...if you could just...
...show me just a little...
Show you...?
A little.
I think that's enough.
You know, you are very attractive.
Just an idle thought.
Drop your pants.
Open the safe.
Now.
I can't believe we're here.
You can drive.
"You look pretty good".
You've got to stop this.
Sure we do. Since we ride for Kansas.
Where is Kansas? Is it in the desert?
No, it's not in the desert. I was born in the desert.
I would know where the desert is. I would smell it.
So, where you want to go?
I don't know. Where do you want to go?
Everywhere.
Wyoming.
One of those cowboy states.
You're an outlaw.
I need to get away from here.
Now I don't have to worry about coming back.
I've never felt so scared...or so alive.
That's the dirty secret, sister.
It's like sex. It's better than sex.
I wouldn't go that far.
Did you see the look on that guy's face? He dropped his pants.
Hey, you know, we abused that man...
Him? Not him. He got out a microscope.
Poor guy...
Don't be started on this laughing glamour topics.
Remember, I am older than you.
And I was married.
Married?
Which I did to get of my pretty sure perfect childhood.
I wish I had a familiy.
Next topic.
Now we are criminals.
Outlaws.
Outlaws. Call it outlaws. There is a big difference.
What's the difference?
An outlaw can take a pie. And he can champ a cookie,
and throw the rest of it in the garbage and be satisfied.
An outlaw can commit a crime,
but never rob himself anything for himself.
Then he can give it away.
Outlaw.
So, outlaw, what are you going to do with these bucks?
It's not for me.
Ah, you got them just for the thrill.
I have my reasons.
Janine...
Ok, it's time to go now. Other days, other banks.
Why aren't you telling me...
Forget it!
We can't stop right now. We are in such a roar!
Especialy since we've been together.
As in those are the cowboy states...
...partner.
Call me sister...sister.
OVERDUE
OVERDRAWN
DECLINED
Janine?
You may not remember...
I remember you.
I don't want to say what you think I am going to say.
You look different to me.
Look. I think they are after you.
I just want to warn you.
Please...not here.
I can't talk now.
I don't know what are you talking about.
Look what I've found under the seat!
It's Theodore, I lost him in the third grade.
It's mine, you stole him!
Did not!
You're such a liar!
You're a liar!
Girls! Please...
Fine! Only babies need stuffed animals anyway!
Fine! Take him! I hate you!
Sydney, how many times I have told you...
You again?
You couldn't sleep?
The dream again?
It's stll a beautiful night.
And somewhere, in Lima Peru, for example, it's a beautiful day.
Maybe it's not a dream.
Maybe it's my memory.
Well, a dream can't be a dream without memory.
Someone does something somewhere and doesn't remember.
You are weird.
Just weirder than the weird weird.
Bulls!
Duncan...you know what. If I had a family...
If I had a brother...
I'd choose you.
I liked that.
But you had a family.
I remember them.
You know, your father was a briliant man.
He memorized dictionaries and he talked about the brain
like other people talk about baseball.
And he couldn't tie his shoe laces.
Neither can you.
I've always admired them.
Your mother is a beautiful lady. And your sister...
Well, she was a little hell yet.
She was?
She was smart.
If you follow her, you always daring each other into all sort of trouble.
You are a lot like her that way.
I don't remember.
I mean, sometimes I remember a lot,
but just in pieces.
Why did they die?
You are not responsible. You are not to feel guilty about it, Syd.
It isn't likely to be alive.
I am not going to let it happen twice.
Sydney?
I came here to tell you what I've been doing.
I knew it would come to this.
You want me to work for you.
As I recall, now you don't have any choice.
Will I get paid?
You came here in the middle of the night to talk about a salary negotiation?
For somebody else.
The first person that you took in the VR.
I need your help.
Sydney, the Committee is not a philanthropic association
that's set up to help you solve your irresponsible personal dablings...
I wanted to teach her a lesson.
I thought I'd hated her, I did not like her.
But it's more than that.
It's out of control, I've got to stop it.
She needs money and she's been stealing.
She will go to prison and lose her kids.
I am not crying.
I am partly responsible.
I've told you not to mess around.
You want to use me.
Yes.
And I am going but to use you.
I've got it!
Sydney and Janine pull out. Sydney convinces Janine not to steal.
Janine: Now...you know what to do.
Now me.
Sydney: Look, you still have two choices...
and you don't have to go through with this.
Janine: What? Are you chickening out?
Me: No. Not at all.
Janine: What?
Sydney: We are going to put the money back.
I found a way to help you earn more,
so you and the kids be all right.
Fine.
You' ll have a new life.
Janine: Thank God.
Yes!
Hello?
Hi. Is your mom there?
No, sorry. My mommy is not here.
Take care.
Bye.
Hello?
It's now. You know what to do.
Look, you have two choices...
That's not what I plan out...
You don't have to go through with this...
You're not chickening now on me, are you?
No. Not at all.
Then just keep the car running, be ready to drive
and don't worry about it.
I'll be back in three hours.
...in three minutes.
Sydney. Sydney! The best is yet to come further.
I didn't write that.
Duncan?
Yes! Ok, come on, Morgan!
...just tell him everything is all right...
and you're going to put the money back...
...and then...what?
Officer Morgan!
What can I do for you?
Sydney!
Janine!
I am...
...robbing off your store!
Janine!
Are you ok?
How do you think?
Where's your gun?
I don't know. Where's yours?
I've got to get us out of here. Stop this!
I'm with you, partner.
How's my make-up?
You look better than you ever have!
Where are we going, sister?
Janine!
Janine! Are you all right?
Yes.
Come on. I'll help you.
What happened?
What were you doing?
I must have tread away from my desk, I guess...
Wait a minute!
Aren't you forgetting something?
I was going to make a cash.
I've got a promotion.
You did?
I think that my fee upped with you.
Thanks...
...sister.
