00:00In the near future, Doc Terror and his cyborg companion, Hacker,
00:05unleash their forces to conquer Earth.
00:08Only one force can stop this evil.
00:11A handful of brave men.
00:13In specially created exo-frames, they can be transported anywhere.
00:18To fuse with incredible assault weapon systems,
00:21beamed down from the space station Sky Vault.
00:25Becoming man and machine, power extreme.
00:30Max Ray, brilliant sea operations commander.
00:37Jake Rockwell, rugged land operations specialist.
00:43Ace McLeod, daring air operations expert.
00:51Whatever the challenge, they are ready.
00:54The Centurion!
01:16She came into my life one dark and stormy night in Chicago.
01:20I'd never seen anyone more beautiful or more desperate.
01:23I was about to call it a night when I...
01:32You're Gabriel Knight, the detective?
01:36That's what it said on my window before someone broke it.
01:41I need your help.
01:43I've been framed for zone dancing.
01:48Sounds like you've got problems.
01:50You got a name, too?
01:54My name is Crystal.
01:56Crystal Kane.
01:59Our scope show him right below you, Ace.
02:01Heading north on 101.
02:02Roger, I'm on him.
02:10That's a mean machine.
02:12It costs more than I make in a year.
02:15With all his criminal activities, he can afford it.
02:18Don't tip our hand yet.
02:19Stay out of sight.
02:31Uh-oh.
02:32Mickey spotted me.
02:49Strobe flare.
02:50Too much of my polarizers.
02:52Can't see.
02:56Ace, have you been hurt?
03:00Only my prize.
03:02Time for our backup.
03:03Ready, Jake?
03:05I thought you'd never call.
03:07Assembling fire force.
03:16Power!
03:18Extreme!
03:23You're speeding, pal.
03:26And here's your ticket.
03:38Give it up.
03:40Give it up?
03:40Thought so.
03:43Thanks, Groundhog.
03:44I owe you one.
03:45You owe me several.
03:47This is just one more.
03:49Ace McCloud to Sky Vault.
03:51Copy, Ace.
03:52Go ahead.
03:53This case is a wrap.
03:55I'm looking forward to a good meal.
03:57You've earned it.
03:58Stand by for...
04:00Centurians, assemble at Centrum immediately for Class Alpha priority red alert.
04:05I guess dinner's on.
04:08I guess dinner's on.
04:08Guess so.
04:15She said she was framed for zone dancing.
04:18Zone dancing was what they called illegal tapping into the big corporate computers full of top secret data.
04:24Crystal was wearing a hacker's trough used to plug into a computer, where that didn't necessarily make her a dancer.
04:32Phony troughs were high fashion these days.
04:42Hello, Gibson.
04:45Oh, hi, Gabe.
04:47It's been a while.
04:48I know.
04:49Haven't seen you since you finished doing time for the Chiba City computer job.
04:53See, you're still wearing a draught.
04:55Some guys never learn.
04:56I need information, Gibson.
04:58Any new dancers in the zone?
04:59One.
05:00Code name's Neon.
05:02Word is he's looking to crash the Sky Vault computer.
05:06Find out everything you can about him for me.
05:08I'll make it worth your time.
05:10Nice talking to you, too.
05:14Okay, so what's the big emergency?
05:17I'll let Dr. Wu explain.
05:20Please regard the main monitor Centurians.
05:23That's the Megacorp building in Chicago.
05:25Megacorp designed the program for the beaming process.
05:28We have just learned that the program has been illegally duplicated by a zone dancer.
05:33We have to find out who it is, and fast.
05:37In the wrong hands, that program could be a deadly weapon.
05:41Ace, you'll beam into the Megacorp offices and try to trace the theft.
05:47And I've had Crystal contact John Thunder to go with you.
05:53Crystal Kane.
05:54I thought I had the weekend off.
05:56You did.
05:57Past tense.
05:58There's a major crisis brewing, and your Centurion infiltration expertise is needed.
06:03Okay, fill me in as I'm riding.
06:09If anyone could tell me what was happening in the zone, Gibson could.
06:12I just hoped he could find out in time to help Crystal.
06:26Come on, Gumshoe.
06:27Santos wants you.
06:36Glad you could make it, John.
06:38Someone has to show you how to be sneaky.
06:42If anyone's tap dancing in these memory banks, this tracer will spot him.
06:49Talk about luck.
06:51Someone's plugged in now from inside the building.
06:55Tenth floor.
06:56Let's go.
06:57Let's go.
07:12This won't be easy.
07:15You gotta have the proper tools, pale face.
07:18John Thunder to Sky Vault.
07:20I need Thunder Knife.
07:21Copy, John.
07:25Energize.
07:25Power extreme!
07:43Crystal.
07:47Ah!
07:48Ah!
07:49Ah!
07:50Ah!
07:51Ah!
07:51Ah!
07:52Ah!
07:57Crystal, help us!
08:03Only one chance!
08:17Did you see what I saw?
08:19If what you saw was Crystal, yes.
08:23Ace McCloud to Sky Vault. Crystal, are you there?
08:27Affirmative, Ace. Where else would I be?
08:31Beam us up, Chris. We got a problem. A big one.
08:36Usually the cops don't come down on me, but I was beginning to get the feeling that this was no
08:40ordinary case.
08:41I'm only going to tell you this once, Knight. Drop this now, before it's too late.
08:48Hey, come on, Santos.
08:50I'm trying to keep you out of trouble. This case is Centurion territory. Understand?
08:56Okay. Take us down.
09:03A lot of people have said I can't take a hint, but I figured I'd better take this one.
09:08If the Centurions were involved, I was in over my head. I decided to drop the case.
09:15Then I saw her sitting in my office.
09:20Hey, come on. It's okay. Talk to me.
09:24I'm sorry. It's just that you're the only one I can trust.
09:28This is real, isn't it?
09:32Yes. But I don't know where I got it, Gabe. Something's controlling me. You have to believe me.
09:39Okay. Okay. Tell me about it.
09:41I... I don't have any memories more than a month old.
09:46Sometimes I have to plug into the Zone, and I don't know why.
09:50Then we'll just have to find the answers.
09:52But where?
09:55There's only one place in the Zone.
10:00She was your twin, Chris. Identical.
10:02Except she was wearing a drowd.
10:04The drowd was real. She used it to sic those armatures on us.
10:08This is what we were afraid of.
10:11Exactly. Someone is using the Beam program for illegal matrix defecation.
10:16I don't get it.
10:18The stolen software contains the information to create an exact copy of any one of us.
10:23All that's needed is the proper amount of water, calcium, and trace minerals, and presto!
10:28A Beam clone identical to the original.
10:31So what do we do?
10:33Hmm.
10:36What's your plan, Max?
10:38She's a Zone dancer.
10:39And the one thing a dancer can't resist is information.
10:50Chris Stone.
10:53No, Neon. Please. Leave me alone.
10:57Go to the Hosaka restaurant at the bottom of Lake Michigan.
11:00There is someone with information I want.
11:03You will do as I say, Crystal. Now!
11:07I. Will. Do. As. You. Say.
11:12The headset isn't as good as a drowd, but it'll let you ride with me into the Zone.
11:19Hang on. Here we go.
11:31The Zone isn't a real place. Any more than the inside of your head is a real place. It's like
11:36being in a computer's dream. But it can still be deadly.
11:41Gibson's handle in the Zone was cowboy.
11:44But you see why.
11:45Stay close. The big name frames can be dangerous.
11:49This is the last place I saw Neon. The memory banks of the Sky Vault computer.
11:53I follow me. But be careful. This baby's got some heavy artillery.
12:02There he is. That's Neon.
12:05He's tapped into the Sky Vault computer.
12:10Gibson!
12:11It's a cyber virus. One of the system's defenses!
12:30Try the blowfish. You'll like it.
12:33That's right. I'm the guy you put the arm on a few hours ago.
12:37You're not going anywhere, lady. I'm jamming your beam.
12:41Now, let's talk.
12:44Very well. About what?
12:46About who you are and what you are.
12:54Max, she's yours.
13:05Emergency. Illegal override. System data being raised.
13:13This is Neon. Your computer is mine now and I'm shutting your systems down.
13:20Power! Extreme!
13:23Woo!
13:23Ooh!
13:27whoa! Oh,
13:32no. Ahh!
13:49Crystal,
13:50Max is in trouble. So are
13:52we, Ace. Hi.
13:52Someone's tapped into the computer and is draining its data.
13:59Our lightsaboard systems are shutting down.
14:01If it isn't stopped, we're done for up here.
14:07I'd thought that finding Neon had been too easy.
14:10Now it looked like I was right.
14:21Come on, let's get out of here.
14:23Wait, we have to stop him.
14:25Are you crazy? Who do you think sicked that Cypher virus on us?
14:29He's linked to the defense system. We're coming out now.
14:38That was quite a ride.
14:39Was it worth it?
14:42Yeah.
14:44Can you patch me into the Centurion's frequency?
14:47Sure, but why?
14:49Because I'm gonna need some help on this one.
15:05Crystal, Max is hurt. You gotta beam him up.
15:09We can't, Ace. The computer's being drained by a zone dancer who calls himself Neon.
15:17I might be able to jump charge the power cells with the special Centurion power pack long enough to bring
15:22him back.
15:23It's worth a try.
15:31It's working. Implementing beam link.
15:35All right. Now to track down Crystal's clone and...
15:41Centurion's, my name is Gabe Knight. And I know who's draining Sky Vault's power. But the information will cost you.
15:49Meet me at Zeros on the south side if you want to talk.
15:52I'm on my way, Crystal.
15:55Copy, Ace. But hurry. The power drain is becoming critical.
16:01I knew the Centurion's would want to get Neon. What I hoped was that they'd help me find Crystal in
16:06exchange for it.
16:08Okay, Knight. I got no time to play games.
16:12First, you gotta promise me that nothing will happen to my client, Crystal Kane.
16:17Your client? Listen, Knight. The woman you know as Crystal is a construct. A beam clone.
16:24So that's why she has no memories.
16:29Hey, you two norms got no business here. This area's for cyber punks only.
16:36Back off, man.
16:38And if I don't...
16:40Okay, we're leaving.
16:44You want our place?
16:51Let's have it, Knight. People's lives are at stake.
16:55Okay. I saw him in the zone, tapping into the Sky Vault computer. I have his frequency code.
17:03Thanks.
17:05Wait, let me go with you. I've got a stake in this.
17:09I must be crazy, but...
17:11Okay, come on!
17:19There. That's where it's coming from.
17:23Ace, we've traced Neon's signal. We've got just enough power to beam Jake down in Hornet.
17:27I'll meet him there. Ace out.
17:33Ready.
17:34Energize.
17:43Power!
17:44Extreme!
17:46Ah, ah, ah!
17:53That's all I can do. My power pack is dead.
17:56I've alerted the Chicago police. They'll clear the area.
18:00Oh, it's getting cold.
18:01And the air's getting stuffy.
18:04They'd better find Neon soon, or this place will be an orbiting deep freeze.
18:17Crystal!
18:23Don't come any closer.
18:25Neon's controlling you, Crystal. Fight it!
18:31I... can't.
18:33Jake, the police have cleared the building.
18:35Then I'll use the direct approach.
18:41You can fight him. You don't have to be his pawn.
18:45You can have a life of your own.
18:50This doesn't look good on you.
18:52What? You?
18:59Let's go. This whole place is gonna go up.
19:04I don't see him, Crystal. Wait.
19:07There they are.
19:11Jake, talk about timing.
19:13Can Hornet handle all of us?
19:15If you'll find out, I'm on.
19:26Ace McCloud to Sky Vault. How's tricks, Chris?
19:31Nearly back to normal, Ace. The computer's back online and everything looks okay.
19:37Copy that, Chris. Ace out.
19:40So, Neon was controlling me by using the drought he had implanted in me.
19:45Right. But you have Crystal's personality, and so you were able to resist his orders.
19:51Lucky for us.
19:53So, what happens now?
19:57Well, Neon's hideout was destroyed.
20:00And the bootleg beam program he stole was destroyed along with it.
20:05I think you've earned the right to your own life.
20:08I know a good plastic surgeon. With a new name and a new face, you'll be all set.
20:13As long as I have a new friend to go along with him.
20:19Ready to beam, Crystal.
20:21All in all, it wasn't a bad night. After all, it's not every private eye that gets to help the
20:26Centurions out.
20:28And find a new partner at the same time.
20:33Tools are extensions of the human body.
20:36In ancient times, thousands of workers were needed to build a structure like this one.
20:43Construction tools like this crane mechanically enable a few to do the work of thousands.
20:48Like the crane, the computer has given one person the ability to do work that once took many.
20:56In the early days of rocket flight, it took hundreds of mathematicians to do the necessary calculations.
21:01Today, the proper computer program can do the same work in seconds.
21:06Just as the crane is a tool that has the physical power of many workers, the computer is also a
21:11tool.
21:11But a tool that amplifies the powers of the mind.
21:18The sooner you throw it in you can SEEISE OUT.
