[Michael and Rachel have entered the inner sanctum, where the computer is which, presumably, Michael designed or reverse-engineered]
Michael Jennings:
Let's take a look at the future before we destroy this thing.
[Jennings looks intense, then smiles as he discovers that he innately knows how to place his fingers and palms on the devices. But his smile turns to a frown as he discovers the same virus message that Brown has been receiving: ERROR - 41. He taps at some controls, then whispers:]
Michael Jennings:
I bugged it! I rigged it, so Jimmy wouldn't use it against me.
Rachel Porter:
Then you can fix it, right?
[He sighs and climbs down into the engineering section]
Michael Jennings:
Where would I have planted that bug? Maybe I wanted the motherboards. Whoa! Whoa!
[He sees that Rachel has picked up a monkey wrench]
Michael Jennings:
We won't be needing this, okay? You're dangerous with that thing!
[He seizes the monkey wrench and tosses it away onto the ground. Rachel's fingers curl against her bosom]
Rachel Porter:
You must have given yourself something to help you find it.
Michael Jennings:
I know. The only things left would be are the bullet and the, this.
Rachel Porter:
The crossword?
Michael Jennings:
Yeah!
Michael Jennings:
[He studies it]
Look at this: 12-Down.
[the clue is circled in ink and it reads: Used for changing connections in a circuit]
Michael Jennings:
Maybe it's here.
Michael Jennings:
[He counts circuits until he comes to the twelfth]
Maybe it's a circuit diagram? I wouldn't have put it in the primary path. Twelve down.
[By placing the crossword puzzle over the grid, he discovers the bug; and he looks at Rachel with sly pride. They grin at each other. The virus warning turns into a pleasing display on the screen]
Michael Jennings:
[In another room, Rethrick has been spying on them and has followed their progress]
Jimmy Rethrick:
Take 'em.
Wolfe:
Okay, Corridor 3, Level A: Jennings' lab.
[Rethrick arms his pistol and starts walking]
