It 's a19th century mark
of an architect called...
:54:05
Lippard-Smith.
Do you know anything about him?
:54:08
No.
:54:11
Pity.
:54:15
Apparently the rat
is recovering nicely.
:54:25
It 's not your fault, Losey.
:54:31
I think I know who we could ask
about Lippard-Smith.
:54:46
She won't be able to talk long,
just had a biopsy.
:54:51
Professor Lebourg,
you've got guests.
:54:54
And I'm not deaf.
:54:56
I'll be in my office.
:54:59
Well...
:55:02
don't just stand there grinning
like monkeys. Do sit down.
:55:13
- Professor...
- Please, call me Catherine.
:55:16
- What 's your name?
- Strother. Michael Strother.
:55:21
Are you famous?
:55:23
No.
:55:25
Pity. Is she?
:55:28
No, I'm not famous, either.
:55:29
We're doing some research.
We've been reading your book.
:55:32
- Oh, yes? Which one?
- "The Hidden Light".
:55:36
Not my best.
:55:38
We are specifically interested
in Francis Paladine.
:55:42
A great man.
:55:45
Greatly misunderstood.
:55:48
Do you know of any active
followers of his ideas?
:55:52
Half the population
of Silicon Valley.
:55:55
I'm sorry?
:55:57
Naturally none of them
have ever heard of him...
:55:59
but they're all trying to download
their consciousness into computers.
