All language subtitles for Zero Day S01E04.eng

They're not telling
us what's going on.

- I know! I know!
- We need to stop.

- I'm cold!
- Open the fucking door!

Let's go! Let's go!

This morning,

our eighth-largest consumer
bank, American homestead,

was the target of an
apparent cyberattack.

As of this hour, the
bank and its customers

are unable to
access their accounts.

I know! I know
you're frustrated.

We're doing everything we can to
restore your account information,

and we'll open as
soon as we can.

Our first priority
must be to safeguard

the rest of our financial system,
which is why, just moments ago,

congress passed the emergency
measure I've now signed into law placing

an immediate freeze through the
weekend on all financial activity.

No wire transfers, no withdrawals,
no credit card transactions.

All markets will be closed

until we are certain that we can protect
other institutions from a similar attack.

Let us in and give
us our fucking money!

- What happens after the weekend?
- Are any of our systems safe?

I spoke with former president
mullen just moments ago.

As of this morning, he believes
that he has a suspect in custody

who may be at the
center of both events.

Is that Evan green?

He has a suspect.

Mullen is driving us
all off a fucking cliff.

You need to take back the wheel.

Let me guess,
and hand it to you?

The bank is its own thing,
unrelated to zero day.

And Evan green's got
nothing to do with it.

Yeah? And how
would you know that?

I chaired house
judiciary for eight years.

I talked to more people at
the FBI than the damn director,

and they all say this
is another copycat.

I hired the damn director.

If he has something
to tell me, he'll call me.

Advocating the overthrow
of our banking system,

the erasure of customer data,

redistribution of wealth,

segments you repeatedly aired
three months before the attack.

I'm… I'm sorry. I'm…
I'm a little… confused.

You… you brought me down here
just to tell me you're a fan of the show?

Tell us about Leon, Evan.

How he and his reaper friends
spread the zero day malware.

How they attacked American
homestead this morning.

Tell me about Anna sindler.

You're three weeks in.

Three weeks, and
you got nothing.

That's pathetic.

You can keep me here as long
as you like. It's great for ratings.

Every minute I'm here,
my audience grows.

We have texts, emails, dozens of
them, from you to members of the reapers,

openly colluding.

And you must know no
hard drive is ever truly erased.

So what are we going to
find when we restore yours?

Well. Teens, gang bangs,

cbts, small penis humiliation…

You just think this is a
big fucking joke, don't you?

Tearing this country apart,
lighting fires just to make a buck.

You're a fucking parasite.

I'd like my lawyer. Now.

As a detainee of this commission,
you are not entitled to counsel.

That's okay, Carl. Let
the man have his lawyer.

Well, how sure are we that
green is behind both attacks?

We're following the evidence.

Mullen believes green
might be hiding something.

You need to talk
some sense into him.

You can't still think
that he listens to me.

I just mean, are we
considering other suspects?

Says the guy who gave
us the fucking photos?

Look, this is going south fast.

Come Monday, if we don't
reopen the banks, we're fucked.

And if we do,

and everyone wants their money
because we haven't solved this

- yes. Then it's a disaster. I know.
- I just think

don't think. Get to your desk.

Call dod. White house wants to
deploy 200,000 additional national guard.

- We need to coordinate.
- Okay, okay.

It all comes apart. Your
father can't help us anymore,

but he can hurt us.

He needs to understand that.

So, how's your day?

Peachy.

How I always pictured
the apocalypse.

Fuck, what time did we
go to sleep last night?

God, I don't even know.

What do you think
he'd do right now?

Nick?

Run.

Not look back.

Why don't we?

Just fucking

run.

We find us

some cozy little place in,

I don't know, Belize?

New Zealand?

Costa Rica?

It's really not that crazy,

considering the
fucking shit storm

that we're in.

If things continue,

and the mob storms the castle
and comes for all of our heads,

everyone's gonna be trying to
figure out where the nearest exit is,

and we could just be gone.

Right?

Yeah, I think we'd probably
kill each other in, like, two days.

Hey.

You've known my dad
a really long time, right?

I mean, you probably know him
better than me at this point, so just

what is going on with him?

He hasn't been himself.

The kill chain analysis
is still underway.

Sir, even with the
transaction freeze,

people want to be sure
that their balances are intact.

In the last hour, we've
seen the apps and websites

of perfectly healthy banks
crash with all the traffic.

And that has spawned
mass speculation online

that all bank accounts have
been "homesteaded," zeroed out.

Well, we have to work even
harder on getting the truth out.

It's not that simple.

A lot of the traffic
isn't organic.

It's being amplified, along with some
increasingly pointed criticism of you

by Monica kidder.

She's putting this
second attack at your feet.

So, what are the options?

Change the narrative.

Accept the invitation to testify
at the oversight committee.

No, I won't be testifying.
Not until we're done.

Has green shared
anything useful?

Not yet. He's meeting with his
lawyer. Then he's meeting with me.

Good. Thank you. That's all.

Carl mentioned you
asked green something odd

about someone
called Anna sindler.

I threw a lot at him just
to keep him off balance.

We need him to break, which
is why I have to get back to work.

My followers must be
through the roof, right?

And did you check the spike
in traffic to the site? Will you?

And… and when you get out of
here, I want you to call Jason.

Let's get that merch going.

Let's get t-shirts. Let's get cups.
Let's get hats. People fucking love hats.

And, you know, let's get my face
on it with… with, like, mandela, mlk.

Evan, I don't think you grasp
how serious your situation is.

Come on, Bob, will you relax?

Okay? Relax.

They can't keep me
in this shithole forever.

And I'm telling you they can.

As you pointed out
repeatedly on your own show,

they threw out the constitution
when they authorized this commission.

Yeah, but come on.

I'm a prominent public figure with
a grassroots movement behind me.

Who just wiped his hard
drives with no explanation.

- How do you think that looks?
- Now that they hauled me in here?

That looks pretty fucking smart.

You need to talk.

You have to tell them
everything you know

about the whack jobs
you love slumming it with.

That's who they're after.

First thing, Bob, they're
called guests, okay?

Just because I have them on my show
doesn't mean I'm shacking up with them.

- Evan.
- Jesus Christ, Bob.

Are you buying
their bullshit too?

It's still a free country
last time I checked.

No, it's not.

Not anymore.

I'm not here as
your lawyer, Evan.

You don't get one.

The only reason they let me in here
was to try to talk some sense into you.

And if I have failed to do
that, then god help you.

Because if you don't
give them something,

I can't tell you
what they'll do next.

Mr. McKenna?

I'm Valerie white
sell. I work for...

I know who you work for.
I want nothing to do with it.

No, no, no. Please. I came
to talk to you about proteus.

Looks like somebody's
brought it back.

I need your help, and
I'm running out of time.

Please.

- How'd you find me?
- It wasn't easy.

You were the only scientist
from the original team

that I was able to track down.

- Well, the others are all dead.
- So you're suggesting

well, we were secretly
designing neurological weapons

for the United
States government.

Complete violation of
the Geneva convention

and every single other international
arms control treaty that there was.

So, yeah.

We knew the risks.

I need to know what
proteus would do to a person

if somehow it was revived
and the weapon was completed.

The idea behind proteus was
to inflict a traumatic brain injury

from a distance with
surgical precision.

An injury whose origin could
never be definitively traced.

So if someone somehow has perfected
it, and they are using it right now,

what would the symptoms be?

I'm beginning to wonder

if George mullen's
approach to this investigation

has been entirely ineffective.

We were told the entire
point of this commission

was to guarantee another
attack wouldn't happen again.

What did I always say
during the campaign?

Don't forget the purell.

Ignore the noise.

You came through.

You always have. You've
always come through.

Come on. Please, sir.

The next few hours, you watch.
We're gonna solve this thing.

Green is gonna break.

- No cash, no groceries.
- No cash, no groceries.

I can't get cash.

How am I supposed to eat?

Where you from?

Baltimore.

Originally.

Baltimore.

- That's not what I mean.
- I know what you mean.

Otieno.

I'm gonna guess… Ethiopia.

- Kenya.
- Kenya.

Kenya.

Yeah.

Kenya.

You know about the
mau mau rebellion, right?

What the British
did there to quash it.

Real nasty shit.

Executions.

Concentration camps.

Well, Mr. Otieno.

I guess the shoe's
on the other foot now?

My dad came here
when he was a kid.

Lost his parents,
his sister… everyone.

Still wakes up screaming
all these years later

until he remembers
he's in queens.

In the United States of America.

I get it.

You were born on third base.

Take all this for granted.

Have no idea what happens if
it all really falls apart around us.

Not me, Evan.

My dad never let me.

So, yeah, the shoe's on the other
foot, and the foot's on your fucking neck.

This. This is real.

So who hacked homestead,
and what's the plan for Monday?

- I don't know.
- Yes, you do.

I don't know who hacked
it, and I don't know the plan.

I do know that "grigori,"

his name is guy stark man.

"Phenex" is a guy
named Mickey grondahl.

"Fourthseal," his name
is Josh Simon. And, yeah.

Yeah, they were all
guests on my show.

But if they are who you say they are,
why don't you haul them in and ask them?

Run the names.

Round them up and everyone they've
interacted with in the last six months,

and tell Carl not to let up.
Green's still holding out.

- Yes, sir.
- What's this?

Complete inventory
of the reapers' farm.

Data recovery failed.
Servers were all toast.

Chameleonmini, ubertooth one,

a long range am
radio. O.Mg elite cable…

Sir, you're gonna want to see this.
Could you pull up that clip, please?

It was the great Benjamin
Franklin who said

those who would give
up essential freedom

to purchase temporary safety
deserve neither freedom nor safety.

Now, I'm told
mullen isn't online.

But if people share my concern,

I suggest they find a way
to make their voices heard,

you know, in the real world.

Okay, thanks.

Local news caught her
coming out of her office.

This clip has gone
viral again with her help,

and now there's a protest being organized
for tomorrow outside of your house.

There's also been
a significant bump

in personal threats against
you that we're tracking.

It's mostly lone crazies
jumping on the bandwagon.

But not to worry, sir.
They won't get close.

This has to stop.

Sir, I know Monica.
She's not unreasonable.

She just wants respect.
She wants to be invited in.

You could make her an ally.

- So, what are you saying?
- Thirty minutes. One-on-one.

You're seeing how much damage
she's doing as a Thorn in your side.

Imagine how much she could help.

Fifteen. That's it. No more.

I will call her team at
panoply and set it up.

I need to speak to you.

Proteus.

You mentioned it at
your press conference,

but it was never a cyberweapon.

It's neurological. You
should have known that.

I met with one of the people
who developed proteus

before we shut it down.

He described
everything that it could do.

Well, I…

I've had episodes

with symptoms like… this.

And sometimes.

I… I hear sounds
that aren't there,

or I might see faces that
may or may not be there.

Anna sindler?

She did die. I spoke
to the coroner myself.

The one you sent Roger to.

So,

you're saying proteus
could be… being used on me?

I think it's possible.

Here you go.

Long-range am radio
from the pocatello raid.

Great, thanks.

What do we do?

Well, the engineer I spoke to said that
the weapon targets specific locations.

My house. Well,
that's where it started.

So then, I don't think
you can go back there.

You can sleep here?

- And what about Sheila?
- Well, she's not who they're after.

And she's not
exhibiting any signs.

Well, I... I'd need a portable scif
for my office. Something secure.

And your circle around you is
tight, but we're gonna make it tighter.

People like Roger…

- I know you love him.
- All right.

Everything will go
through you from now on.

Mullen was a fine
idea. Safe, unifying.

I may not have liked it, but
I never said it wasn't smart.

We all hoped it would work out.

I'm here to offer you a pivot.

A chance to change direction

while protecting yourself
from any blowback.

You'd do that for me, dick?

I get it. You hired him.

You damn well can't fire
him without looking like a fool.

But he could resign, and that
would be on him and not on you.

George mullen, resign? Now?

There is precedent, of course.

George mullen walked away from
this office when no one else does.

Would anybody really be
surprised if he quits again?

Not the same. Back
then it was personal.

Everyone knew that his family
was coming apart, and so was he.

And everyone knows that
history tends to repeat itself.

All banks and savings and
loans have been ordered

to cease the financial freeze.

People are reminded to
line up in an orderly fashion.

It is anticipated that
once the banks reopen,

there could be quite a rush.

They're queuing up outside
Manhattan financial institution.

We do not know… hi, mom.

No, I'm… I'm fine. I just...

I'm worried about dad.

Free Evan green! Deep-state George!
Free Evan green! Deep-state George!

Free Evan green! Deep-state
George! Free Evan…

- Hey.
- Hi. I didn't think you'd pick up.

Well, no, actually I was
just about to call you.

The protest.

Tom said you can't even
hear it. Just stay in the house.

Yeah, George, I just had a
long talk with Alex about you.

Okay. What'd you talk about?

You told me that you were fine and
this episode with Wayne was a mistake.

She says that
that's not the case.

I can't talk about it
now on the phone.

Well, we'll talk about
it when you're home.

Well, that's why I was about to call
you. I'm not gonna be coming home.

Thanks.

Red rooster, this is blue hawk.

Axis falcon, ld, Alpha
India November.

Current status is
yankee bravo 32 Lima.

Red rooster, this is blue hawk.

Confirm yankee bravo 32 Lima.

Next status update November
echo one-two-hundred.

Ms. Kidder, thank
you for coming to talk.

Well, thank you for inviting me.

I must admit, I assumed you'd
have more important things to do

than worry about
a little bad press.

No, I don't mind bad press.

I don't even mind the crazies
camped outside my house.

Well, it doesn't much
matter if you mind or not.

If we're still pretending
that the constitution is intact.

Well, what I do mind, though,
is the intentional spread

of dangerous disinformation.

I'm told that there are
levers that you can pull.

Levers that, until now, have
been used to sow panic and fear.

This country would be grateful,

I would be grateful,

if, instead, you would use
those levers to encourage calm.

Now you want my help.

You'll recall, three weeks
ago, I offered precisely that.

To be part of the solution. You chose
instead to rely on government employees

to resolve this mess.

Men and women who no
doubt are as well-intentioned

as they are severely
limited in their actual talents.

And so here we are, on
the brink of total collapse.

Ms. Kidder, your offer to help
with the investigation was gracious,

but hard to accept due to the fact
that the DOJ is investigating you

for 19 violations of the
sherman antitrust act.

Every aspiring autocracy begins
by insisting that the private sector

bend a knee.

And who's the one trying to stop a
run on the banks to secure your billions?

You tech people, you all want
government to be hands-off,

until you don't.

Mr. President, I have no idea
how secure my billions are.

I have an entire floor of accountants
who cannot log on and find out.

Well, okay.

Thank you for coming.

Of course.

By the way, the Franklin
quote? I think you got it wrong.

It's "Liberty" we shouldn't
sacrifice for safety. Not "freedom."

What's the difference?

"Freedom" is what allows people
like you to do whatever you want.

"Liberty" is what protects the
rest of us from people like you.

Thanks for the tea.

Free Evan green! Free
Evan green! Free Evan green!

Free Evan green!

Fry Evan green!

Keep him off the street!

Fry Evan green!

Keep him off the
street! Fry Evan green!

You can't do that!

Hold it right there!

Where's my fucking money?
Where's my fucking money?

Where's my fucking money?!
Where's my fucking money?!

These men green named, now in
custody under active interrogation,

traded dozens of emails mentioning
"bank attack" in just the last few weeks.

Have any of them
acknowledged actual responsibility

for either American homestead
or the zero day attacks?

- They will.
- By sunrise tomorrow?

Can you guarantee that?

Worst case, we
extend the freeze.

People can't buy food, George.

Green knows more.
We're close. I'm telling you

unless he is just
another fucking blowhard

who has nothing to do with this.

You're aware that American
homestead was hacked last spring?

No. There was no
mention of anything like that.

They didn't report it because they paid
a ransom in violation of FBI guidance.

Dreyer has a friend on the
board who tipped him off.

Same exact target,
similar method.

This could easily be
just another shakedown.

George,

I need to know that you
have this under control.

I'm worried that you don't.

There's too much at
stake not to be certain.

Extend the shutdown and give
me the time to find out for sure.

The national guard is maxed out.

They say we'll be lucky
if we make it to morning

without widespread civil unrest.

If it's not a one-off, the same malware
could be on the verge of spreading

to 1,000 banks.

You got enough troops for that?

Twenty-three hours, 17 minutes.

I can't hold congress
off any longer.

That's all you got.

Starkman and Simon
may have been pen pals,

but they never met.

Never met Leon, were never
even in the same zip code,

and I'm not sure either of them
knows how to update an iPhone,

let alone orchestrate a
wide-scale cyberattack.

I'm gonna go back to green.

I hate to say it, sir, but
we've hit a wall there.

- You're gonna have to break through it.
- I don't have the tools to do that now.

We will not surrender
our moral standings.

Moral standing?

Sir, we've played by the
rules till now, and we're losing.

Want to protect your
conscience or this country?

Okay, well, Carl's
right. You know?

Uncooperative subject,
ticking time bomb,

enhanced interrogation methods,
precisely what the situation needs.

And one of the reasons you were tapped to
do this job was to prevent this scenario.

You know what it looks like
when we cross this line, sir.

George.

I'm here to tell the
American people

that congress will not be
extending this shutdown.

There were cyberattacks
before zero day,

and there will be
cyberattacks in the future.

But in the absence of hard proof

that the hack of American homestead
was anything more than a isolated event,

the likes of which
we've dealt with before,

we must be prudent.

Our constituents have to eat.

They have to pay their bills.

And people need to take a
breath and stop this hysteria.

Mr. Speaker, how can you be
so sure it was an isolated event?

I actually worried that I
might be overreacting.

Sheila, we have
reason to believe

that George is being targeted
by a neurological weapon.

Is that why my husband is
sleeping in a tent in his office?

Sleeping in the
scif was my idea.

Forgive me, but I don't
find that reassuring.

It's called proteus.

Whoever's responsible for zero
day may also be using this weapon

to try to impede the work of the
commission by attacking George.

It causes memory loss,
temporary confusion.

How about a sudden
affinity for fascism?

- Is that on the list?
- That's what this is about?

I told you to take this job,
not because you're perfect.

The three of us know
that you are far from that,

but the one thing I
thought I knew about you

is that you would always
put your country first.

If you're not fit to lead
because of this weapon,

anything else, then
you have to step down.

- I'm fine.
- Prove it.

What? How? What?

I don't know. A doctor.
Take a psych evaluation

and then pass it tonight.

I don't have time for that.

Well, I'm out of Patience.

You prove to me that
you are of sound mind,

or I will tell the country
that you are not.

All right, Costa Rica.

Costa Rica. I pick Costa
Rica with the ducks.

Chickens. They're
wild chickens, Alex.

Sorry, sorry.
They're wild chickens.

Ten minutes, and I'll be outside
your apartment with a full tank of gas.

Just say the word.

Yeah.

I might be counting on that.

And tonight, are we meeting up?

Yes. Give me… give me an hour.

All right.

Macallan neat.

Could you do me a favor?

Could you please tell lyndon,
or whoever the fuck sent you,

to fuck off?

Thank you very much, and Roger
Carlson is closed for business.

You don't get to decide that.

You know that.

And why is that? Because you're going to
tell the whole world what a scumbag I am?

No, no.

Just Alex.

Trust me.

Don't do that.

We hear mullen isn't right
in the head. Time's come.

It's best for everyone if he handed
over the reins of this commission

to someone else.

He admits to mental
health challenges.

He quits.

These days, no
one will think twice.

You want me to say
mullen is sick publicly?

I want you to get us proof.

I may have something.

I'd encourage you
to be more specific.

Ready?

Go.

You'll have three minutes to
observe this figure drawing.

Now, draw it from memory.

Ready? Go.

I'm going to read
you a list of words.

Face. Velvet.
Church. Daisy. Red.

Select the colored button that
corresponds to the color of the word.

Go.

Place the pegs in the shape
that you see in the picture.

Go. I read some
words to you earlier.

I'd like you to repeat as many of
those words as you can remember.

Ready? Go.

Face.

Velvet.

Church.

Daisy.

Red.

Okay.

And what day of the week is it?

Sunday.

And right now, how many
people are in the room with us?

Just you and me.

And what music am I playing?

Describe the
music, Mr. President.

There isn't any music.

Hey, Allison, how's it going?

Hey, I'm good.

I just left some paperwork
in there that I need to grab.

- Okay.
- All right.

I should caution.

Testing of this kind is inexact.

In this case, I do think
the results are conclusive.

I can't speak to your state
of mind prior to tonight,

but as for this moment, I see no
cause for concern, Mr. President.

Well, okay. Thank you.

Thank you.

I guess this means your choices
in this job have really been yours.

Congratulations.

Sheila…
- deal's a deal.

I'll see myself out.

There's still time left.

Let's get to work.

I gave you names. I
gave you email addresses.

Come on, guys. It's
just a fucking TV show.

It's like you said, I'm just a
scumbag trying to make a buck.

What are you... okay,
you're hurting me.

You…you gotta let me out
of here. Okay, I cooperated.

I… I… I got nothing on the
malware or the reapers

or whatever the fuck
else it is you think I know.

Okay, look.

My speaking fees.

I take most of them
under the table.

And the merch. The merch
goes to offshore accounts.

It… it's 50 kinds of tax evasion.
That's what was on the hard drives.

All right?

Are you fucking satisfied now?

I thought we said an hour.

Why didn't you
answer your phone?

Hello?

Jesus, what now?

I love that lake.

That... what lake?

Your dad's friend's place.

In Tahoe?

That first August after everyone started
to figure out that we were together?

- Y… yeah.
- We took the boat out. I lied.

Told everyone I could drive it.

And then Nick got me drunk.

And we jumped in the water,
and we nearly froze to death.

Yeah, then I put you
guys in the sauna.

I loved that.

Right?

And then right after that, your
dad asked me to come work for him.

And

he said it was his idea, but…
but I knew it was your idea.

Are you, like, writing a memoir?
Wh… what are you talking about?

Roger.

What is going on?

Will… will you come sit down?

- Just tell me what's going on.
- Please.

Please come sit down.

I have to tell you something.

There's going to be some
things that come out about me

in the press tomorrow.

Or maybe tonight, even.

And I'm telling you because I
want you to know that it's true. Okay?

Okay.

A couple months ago,

when I ran into
you at the hearing,

after all the stuff came out
about your ex in the post.

- That wasn't a coincidence.
- What wasn't a coincidence?

The… the emails on the front
page or you running into me?

You hacked his phone?

What?

I… I saw it as a
way to get back.

To get us back.

I was… I was not supposed
to even be at the hear

you hacked my fucking
phone too, didn't you?

- Roger, did you hack my fucking phone?
- There's more. There's more.

…as uncertainty lingers
over what will happen

when the U.S. financial
system soon comes back online

with still no answer as to who was
behind the American homestead hack.

Many estimated
that president Mitchell

would extend the market
freeze into the coming week.

But as chaos spread at banks
and businesses around the country,

Mitchell has
decided to hold firm

to her initial plan of reopening
all American financial institutions

this morning.

Across the country,

American homestead
customers wait anxiously

sorry, man, I changed my
mind. I… I can't help you.

George?

George?

Tell me it's good news.

It is, ma'am.

Is it green? Did he break?

No.

It's Roger.

Good morning.

I'm pleased to report

that the FBI has
identified the criminals

behind the cyberattack on
American homestead bank.

They call themselves "sinecure"

and have no apparent
connection to the zero day attack.

In fact, they are the
same ransomware gang

that targeted the bank in a
previously unreported breach

last spring.

Thankfully, under
fear of prosecution,

one of their members
is now cooperating

to help unwind the malware.

And when markets open shortly,

depositors will find that
their accounts are fully intact.

Speaker dreyer can
answer any questions.

Speaker

is it true president mullen was advocating
for an extension of the financial freeze?

- Is Evan green still being held?
- These are reasonable questions.

Unfortunately, president mullen has
refused our request to answer them

before the house
oversight committee,

which is why later today we
will be subpoenaing his wife.

We have strong reason to
believe that the former first lady

possesses important insight into
her husband's decision-making

these past several weeks.

What if she refuses?

Then she'll be held in contempt of
congress the same as anyone else.

As you know, Mrs. Mullen has
aspirations to serve on the federal bench.

I have high hopes that she has
more… respect for the law than that.

Speaker dreyer...
