That’s impossible! There IS a net. I saw it.
You gotta call 9-1-1! You can’t leave those people. They might still be alive.
OK, OK. Relax.
Hello. Yes, this is an emergency. I just witnessed four—no, five—
people jump off the bridge. The suicide net— It’s NOT a suicide net. Painting and repairs!? Oh shit! No, I’m too far away and it happened so fast. My name? Sorry (static) losing (static)—
Why did do that?
Do what?
That static stuff.
Cause they don’t really need my name. Besides we’re leaving now.
What about—
In the car. Now! Let’s go!
Do you really think all those people have demons?
Don’t be stupid. Demons are fictions. These people had unsecure devices in their bodies.
What do you mean ‘unsecure devices?’
Pacemakers, retinal implants, neural implants, cochlear implants—
all kinds of medical implants, and all accessible wirelessly—
You can hack into them? Is that what you did? You hacked into that old man’s pacemaker?
