THIS GAME?
WELL, LET ME BE MORE CLEAR.
A COMPUTER DISK WITH INFORMATION
IMPLICATING YOUR COMPANY
IN THAT INCIDENT
HAS BEEN STOLEN.
IF THIS INFORMATION
COMES TO LIGHT,
THE WORLD WILL LEARN THAT MARTEZ
WAS NO INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT.
IN OTHER WORDS...
IF I GO DOWN, YOU GO DOWN.
I'LL PUT MY AGENTS
AT YOUR DISPOSAL.
I THOUGHT THAT
MIGHT CHANGE YOUR TUNE.
WE NEED TO GET THAT
DISK BACK IMMEDIATELY.
YOU THINK?
OH, AND I BELIEVE
ONE OF YOUR NEW MUTANTS
IS STANDING IN OUR WAY.
ONE OF MY MEN
WRAPPED A CAR AROUND HIM
- BUT HE WALKED
AWAY WITHOUT A SCRATCH.
I'LL SEE IF I CAN HELP.
YOU DO THAT.
MR. PORTER.
SINCE I ASSUME YOU'VE
BEEN EAVESDROPPING ALREADY,
I HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT FOR YOU.
GET THAT DISK NEXXOGEN IS
CHASING AND YOU MIGHT JUST
EARN YOURSELF THAT PROMOTION.
HOW YOU DOING?
I'LL BE DOING A LOT
BETTER WHEN MY DAD CALLS.
I SAW THE PICTURE THE TWO
OF YOU YOU GOT IN YOUR ROOM.
OH, THE FATHER-SON
MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENT.
YEAH.
WE WENT EVERY YEAR
UNTIL MY PARENTS SPLIT UP.
MY DAD'S JOB
WITH THE FEDS TOOK HIM
UNDERCOVER AND OVERSEAS.
IS THAT WHY
I NEVER MET HIM?
NO.
I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN HIM
SINCE HE WENT OFF TO EUROPE.
YOU OKAY?
YOU LOOK A LITTLE
WORRIED ABOUT HIM.
THE GUY IS
A DECORATED HERO.
HE'S BEEN ON A LOT OF
ASSIGNMENTS, BUT SOMETHING'S...
SOMETHING'S DIFFERENT.
WELL, IF YOU NEED ANY OF
US TO JUMP IN AND HELP,
YOU JUST SAY THE WORD.
THANK YOU.
OH, HEY.
I DID A LITTLE NOSING AROUND
IN NEXXOGEN'S PERSONNEL FILES.
YEAH?
IT TURNS OUT, NOAH KILMARTIN
WAS LISTED AS THE HEAD OF
SECURITY UNTIL A MONTH AGO.
HE WORKS FOR THEM?
YEAH,
UNTIL HE GOT FIRED.
SEEMS LIKE THEY MIGHT
HAVE TRIED TO SCREW HIM OVER.
WELL, LET'S KEEP DIGGING
BEFORE WE PASS JUDGEMENT.
WHAT ELSE DID YOU FIND?
SOME INTERESTING
INFORMATION ON NICOLE CARTER.
SHE'S THE DIRECTOR
OF OPERATIONS AT NEXXOGEN.
SINCE BEFORE THE EXPLOSION.
YEAH, SHE MUST
BE PRETTY POWERFUL
- OR BULLETPROOF
- TO HAVE LASTED.
YEAH,
MAYBE A LITTLE OF BOTH.
ACCORDING TO THIS, NEXXOGEN
WOULD'VE GONE BELLY-UP IF THEY
HADN'T GOTTEN
FUNDING FROM GENOMEX.
EXACTLY. BUT...
WHY WOULD ECKHART WANT
TO KEEP THEM IN BUSINESS?
WELL, MY FIRST GUESS IS
THAT GENOMEX HAD SOMETHING
TO DO WITH THE INCIDENT.
WELL,
DO YOU THINK JESSE'S FATHER
IS TIED TO THE INCIDENT TOO?
I THINK I KNOW
A WAY WE CAN FIND OUT.
DAD?
SORRY ABOUT LAST NIGHT, JESSE.
I DIDN'T MEAN
TO RUN OUT ON YOU AND LEAVE
YOU IN THE LURCH LIKE THAT.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
OH, I'LL LIVE.
BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO
GET YOU INVOLVED IN THIS.
I... I JUST HAD NO
IDEA WHERE ELSE TO TURN.
NO.
FORGET ABOUT IT.
WE'RE FAMILY.
LET ME COME GET YOU.
OH, I DON'T KNOW.
IN FACT, THE SITUATION IS
KIND OF DANGEROUS RIGHT NOW.
AND ALL THE
MORE REASON WHY WE SHOULD
BE HANDLING THIS TOGETHER.
ALL RIGHT.
BUT YOU HAVE TO COME ALONE.
AND YOU HAVE TO PROMISE NOT
TO TELL ANYBODY ABOUT THIS.
YOU THINK HE'D BE UP FOR IT?
LET ME TALK TO HIM.
CHECK IT OUT.
JESSE?
ARE YOU STILL THERE?
YEAH. I'M HERE, DAD. BUT...
LOOK, THERE'S NO BUTS.
OKAY. I WON'T TELL ANYONE.
THAT'S MY BOY.
I KNEW I
COULD COUNT ON YOU.
LOOK, I STILL THINK WE'RE
TAKING A BIG CHANCE HERE.
AND THAT'S A
CHANCE WE HAVE TO TAKE.
IF YOU SAY SO.
NOW, WHERE ARE YOU?
OKAY. I'LL BE IN THE COURTYARD
OF THE FAIRVIEW COMPLEX.
I'M ON MY WAY.
GOT HIM. LET'S GO.
HEY, ADAM.
YOU READY TO GIVE
NEXXOGEN A VISIT?
ABSOLUTELY.
I WANT YOU
BOTH TO BE CAREFUL.
SO BRENNAN TELLS US TO BE
ON HEIGHTENED SECURITY ALERT?
YEAH, BUT WE'LL
HAVE YOU COVERED ON THAT.
HERE, EMMA.
GIVE ME YOUR THUMB.
A LITTLE PRESS.
OW.
SORRY.
THEY SCREEN
ALL THEIR EMPLOYEES THROUGH
THUMBPRINT IDENTIFICATION.
THIS'LL GET YOU IN.
 BIG BABY.
SO WHAT'S THE BEST PLACE
TO TAP INTO THEIR DATABASE?
AH,
THEIR MAIN COMPUTER SYSTEM.
SORRY.
FROM THERE, WE CAN
ACCESS ALL THEIR FILES.
AND WITH THIS
LITTLE BABY OVER HERE,
WE CAN HAVE YOU IN AND
OUT IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES.
WHAT DO WE DO WITH IT?
INSTALL
IT INTO THEIR SYSTEM
