Transcript
The blue-haired woman reaches toward the electrical fence. She says, “This...yeah, this sounds right.” “What if I can mess it up?” “I'll make you notice.” She touches the fence and says, “Just enough to trigger an alarm.” “Just nudge it a little, little tap.” A control-room screen reads, “HORIZON POWER OPERATIONS CENTER,” “TROUBLE ALARM,” and “SUBSTATION 4.” Alarm lights flash. The woman says, “Alarms are firing.” “Someone down there will come.” Smiling, she says, “That should get them here.”
