Quotes

• Marshall: Well, it's a subdermal device placed just below the skull at the brain stem. I've never seen one this small before. It looks like they patched a radio receiver to a powerful microcharge.

Will: So, w-what does that mean?

Marshall: It means that th-th-they put a bomb in your head.

Will: What?

Marshall: I know. I know. Um, but there's good news. It looks like the charge is small enough that the blast will be localised.

Will: Wait, wait, wait. So it might not kill me.

Marshall: Oh, no. It'll definitely kill you. There just won't be any collateral damage.
