1 INT. FBI MEETING ROOM - DAY 2 =========================== 3 4 About a dozen men and women in dark suits sit around a table. At the end 5 of a table a man is standing, giving a presentation. 6 7 > AGENT SMITH 8 >> Here's what we know now: most vehicles involved in food distribution 9 >> in California have stopped for some unknown reason. There seem to be 10 >> no casualties, but until the vehicles start working again, food 11 >> stores won't get new supplies from central warehouses. Eventually 12 >> they will run out of food, and then there'll be problems, but that 13 >> will take several days, so there's no panic yet. 14 15 > AGENT JONES 16 >> Some vehicles still work. 17 18 > AGENT SMITH 19 >> Yes. Agent Harrison from the technical team has been looking at that. 20 >> Harrison? 21 22 > AGENT HARRISON 23 >> All of the disabled vehicles are equipped with a monitoring and 24 >> remote-controlling system from ObCo. We don't know of more than about 25 >> a dozen vehicles with the system that are not disabled. 26 27 > AGENT SMITH 28 >> Your conclusion? 29 30 > AGENT HARRISON 31 >> Sir. It appears the ObCo system has been used to disable the 32 >> vehicles. That's what it has been designed for. 33 34 > AGENT JONES 35 >> Why would anyone build a system to stop vehicles? 36 37 > AGENT HARRISON 38 >> Its purpose is to prevent unauthorized use, and to monitor the 39 >> efficiency of the drivers – to make sure they don't damage the 40 >> vehicles by driving recklessly. 41 42 > AGENT SMITH 43 >> So, Harrison, what's going on? Could this be an error in the system? 44 >> A simple malfunction that's preventing ALL of California from getting 45 >> food and supplies? Or is it terrorists? Criminals? 46 47 > AGENT HARRISON 48 >> It could be either. It would be a case of gross misconduct on ObCo's 49 >> behalf if it's a technical error. Not impossible, but they have an 50 >> impeccable reputation for correctness and security. I would not rule 51 >> out a terrorist attack. Or a criminal one. Have there been any signs 52 >> of blackmailing? 53 54 > AGENT SMITH 55 >> No signs of blackmailing. We'll have to treat this as a possible 56 >> terrorist attack. Jones, prepare a team to go to ObCo, lock them 57 >> down, and start questioning people. Harrison, you'll head the 58 >> computer forensics team; you'll go through their computers as soon as 59 >> the place is secured. Everyone clear? Meet in the garage in 45 60 >> minutes. 61 62 > AGENT JONES 63 >> Sir, I expect ObCo will co-operate. Their chief of security, Alan 64 >> Whateverhisnamewas, used to be in army intelligence and is still 65 >> active in the security community. I know him personally, I can't 66 >> think he's part of an attack. 67 68 > AGENT SMITH 69 >> That's good. Still, everyone will be armed, and we'll be careful. 70 >> We'll lock them down hard, but politely.
