**.shadow — the User behind the program —** Paul Walker · the fallen golden boy — the star the machine uses up

**who —** Lance Harbor — the anointed star QB whose knee, and Florida State scholarship, the needle takes away.
**what —** The sacrifice: the golden boy who falls so the reluctant hero can rise, and who coaches from the sideline he can't leave.
**where —** On the throne, then on the bench calling plays.
**why —** Because the hero needs room, and the film needs the cost of the W made visible in one ruined knee.
**how —** By taking one cortisone shot too many on a bad knee, and handing Mox the playbook.

**the seal —** I was the golden boy — the scholarship, the girl, the throne. One bad knee and my ride out left without me.
