[bird cawing]

Why do you spend the whole day on the computer, dad?

Why don't you come over here and find out?

Come on.

[bird cawing]

Here.

Sometimes there's not so good people in this world

and it's daddy's, job to find out before they do bad things.

What kind of bad things?

Well, they hurt of innocent people,

you know, sometimes it's because they don't like

other people thinking differently than they do.

How do you find them using a computer?

They're on the other side of the world, honey,

and even though they're far away, they can still do us harm.

But from my computer here, see,

sometimes I get lucky and see

what they plan on doing before they do it.

Does that make sense?

Here, here, you give it a try.

[suspenseful music]

Hello, Laura

Silly goose.

You see, when they send messages, it's coded.

[upbeat music]

But if we're lucky, we can get those messages

and hopefully we can decode them.

When we get on the computer like this,

we can intercept their messages.

[door kicked in]

John O'Brien, I'm arresting you for national treason.

You and I both know this is bogus.

Did you get what you want, Borden?

Huh?

What's going to happen to my daughter?

Oh, I'm afraid there's no room for her

where you're going, John.

That's what social services is for.

Don't worry, I'm sure she'll be in good hands.

You promised!

[suspenseful music]

You know, my mother she, she always told me,

"Don't do internet dating."

But it's not that bad.

You know, sure, I've been on some not so great dates,

but everyone has.

You know, and I got the chance to meet you.

I know, no one is talking about marriage or anything,

but who knows where this could go?

I mean, you know, I feel like we're on the same page,

there's just something there between us.

Every great relationship starts with a great first date,

I've always said that.

You know what, I'm going to run

to the ladies' room really fast.

Oh yeah, sure.

♪ There was a man I loved

[car engine roars]

Who knows what this could lead to!

That's how all great relationships start.

Freaking kidding me?

[mellow music]

Good morning, Popeye.

Hey, Popeye!

Good morning.

Oh man, I'm happy to be home.

You ready for a little treat?

[Popeye caws]

I know I was gone a long time.

Popeye, you know you're always my main guy, right?

I mean, this was definitely not the one.

All he did was blab and blab about his mundane life.

You're still my main man.

Still my main man.

I mean, who wants a guy who can't keep his mouth shut?

Just like a clear sign that he's only into himself,

and he lived at home with his mom.

Kind of like you, Popeye.

I have you, anyway.

What more do I need?

Just you, and me.

Just you and me.

That's right.

Two birds in a cage, huh?

[Popeye caws]

[mellow music]

Seriously?

No, payment not received.

Come on, guys.

You spend trillions of dollars on national security,

and I do a better job from my laptop.

K for the find.

Now.

All right, Popeye, time to find out

what the bad guys on the other side of the world

are chatting about.

Date from hell.

Yeah, you got that right.

What do you think, where should we start today, huh?

You got any wisdom for me?

You are the older, wiser one after all.

What is that?

That's strange.

[upbeat music]

[computer beeps]

Hey, Popeye.

Turn your music down.

Yeah.

What is up, lady?

I came across something and I can't seem to decrypt it.

It's an infrastructure I haven't seen before.

How'd you find it?

Kind of just right in front of me.

And data with that level of encryption

shouldn't just be sitting there.

And they purposefully hid it in plain sight.

Okay, send me the string.

Eh, I don't know, Laura,

it looks to me like a random anomaly.

Yeah, and that's what they want it to look like,

but look at the sub-coding.

Whoa.

Right?

I mean, that's not an anomaly

and I couldn't program like that if I wanted to.

Huh, yeah the coding's unverified.

Maybe go through the backbone.

I tried that.

Hold on, I got an idea.

Okay, here we go, I'm getting a couple pieces,

are you seeing any of this?

It's a phantom communication interface,

basically a dark web chat room,

three, no I'm sorry, four parties speaking back and forth.

Assassination August 9th, 5PM.

Strategically placed sniper.

But who is the target?

More importantly, who is behind this?

Let me dig into the encryption,

I might recognize the coding.

Whoa.

Whoa, Laura, this looks identical to NSA encryption.

You know what, log out, it's none of our business,

we didn't see a thing.

Whoa, you think this is homegrown?

Did you hear me?

I said NSA, the people we work for.

You know, I say log out now, we did not see any of this.

Forget the payday.

Okay, how do we just log out?

Someone's life is at stake here.

Plus what does it matter anyway, we're ghosts, you and I.

Who are they going to come after?

If we log out now, we are signing

someone's death certificate.

How are you going to live with that?

I don't know, Laura, this is way too deep.

The footprint looks just like the NSA,

and if not, then that's definitely where they were trained,

and that scares me more.

Logging off.

[upbeat music]

[dogs barking]

Who are you?

Who are you planning on killing?

[computer beeps]

[tense music]

No, no, no, no, no, no.

You're getting in my terminal.

[suspenseful music]

He's gone caveman on us, sir.

Full blackout.

How much data's been compromised?

Hard to tell, sir, but I only see

hits on a single communication string.

Hits, did you say hits?

Does that mean there's someone else involved?

It appears another party may have accessed the data.

I'll dig deeper.

Well, what did you get on him before blackout?

Not much, sir, the level of infrastructure

shows that this is a pro at work.

How does someone access our encrypted

and supposedly private communication?

Probably an independent contractor working for NSA?

They spend their whole day scouring the web

looking for national security threats,

anything that's encrypted or out of the ordinary,

and they intercept communications that way.

Probably how he found us.

During the communication I planted a Trojan on his system.

If he comes back to life, at any point,

the system will notify me

and I'll be able to get a lock on him.

Don't you think he'll know we're there?

To be seen.

To be seen is not good enough.

Get it done.

Find him at any cost.

[suspenseful music]

Someone hacked into my system last night.

Wait, what do you mean

someone hacked into your system?

How's that even possible?

Yeah, exactly.

I think I've been compromised.

Not necessarily.

There's nothing to compromise, you don't exist.

What do they want?

They want their data back.

Well, we don't have their data, so we're fine.

I made a copy, Chad.

What, are you nuts?

I told you to stay away.

Get rid of it right now!

What?

No, no way.

That's the only leverage I have.

Are you on your interface?

They probably planted a Trojan, walk off.

Don't you think I thought of that?

Listen, I can't just walk away from this,

an innocent man is gonna get killed.

We know nothing, how do you know he's an innocent man?

We've been doing this a long time,

when was the last time you saw

this much secrecy to kill a guilty man?

Good point.

We have to do something.

We don't know who's behind this or even who the target is.

You'll need more information before you can do anything.

That's why I need your help.

Are you nuts?

I told you to stay away.

What makes you think I'm getting myself more involved?

'Cause they don't know you exist.

As far as they know, only one person has seen this.

If this is as serious as it seems, then let them track me.

Okay, I'll see what I can find.

Thank you.

All right, I got to go.

I'm going to be in touch, okay?

Hey, watch your back, Popeye.

We don't know how big these people are.

I'm about to find out.

[upbeat music]

Oh my God, what are you doing?

Is that a gun?

Dude, what are you doing?

[upbeat music]

This is it.

It's probably wiped clean, but take it in anyway.

[suspenseful music]

We just missed him, sir.

He left us a taunting message.

I want you to tap into everything

and anything in the vicinity.

Every video feed, store cameras,

ATMs, damn GoPros from bicycles riding by.

And check if there's a satellite feed

on the area at the time.

Already underway.

[eerie music]

So now you're taunting us.

[suspenseful music]

[car engine roaring]

[suspenseful music]

Stop.

Pull up that camera.

Rewind and play it back.

That's him.

Look at the body language.

Do we have any other angles on his face?

Nothing, sir.

It's the back alley,

so this is the single angle we have there.

Zoom in on the tags and run them.

[upbeat music]

I've got a name and an address, sir.

Good, send Porter over.

Your first mistake.

Hey, Banjo.

Hey, what's cooking, good looking?

It's been a while, look, I need to fly under the radar,

like really under the radar.

What do you have in mind?

I'm thinking hardwire IP scramblers,

I don't know, what do you got?

I got you covered.

[car alarm beeps]

[suspenseful music]

[car engine roars]

Good morning, good morning.

Good morning, good morning.

Good morning, good morning.

It's late afternoon, Popeye.

It's late afternoon, Popeye.

Okay.

All right.

Good morning.

How about good afternoon?

Good afternoon.

That's more like it.

With this being an election year,

more pressure has been put on the candidates

to take a firm stance on their position.

Congresswoman Boyle is no exception.

Known as a strong and vocal supporter

of the telecommunications security and privacy act,

she is expected to become even more outspoken

on the matter in a--

There we go, let's see, find me now.

Starting with her first press conference

on August 9th, at 5PM.

Now the congresswoman has strongly opposed

the mass surveillance society,

which she claims is controlled by organizations

like the NSA.

[car engine roaring]

[eerie music]

A week from today, the August 9th press conference,

we expect the congresswoman's first order of business

to be exactly that, as well as her stance

on protecting the digital privacy rights

of American citizens.

Although she does have a lot of supporters,

several state legislators are opposed to her opinion,

claiming that such tactics are in fact

necessary to ensure national security.

As updates continue to happen,

we'll bring it to you right here.

Congresswoman Boyle?

She's your target?

Husky.

Okay, so let's cross reference you with congresswoman Boyle.

And see what comes up.

[suspenseful music]

[car door slams]

[suspenseful music]

And there you are.

Major Michael Borden.

Former US Army major, went by the nickname, The Husky.

Transferred to the NSA, promoted to deputy head.

Relieved from duty by congressman Boyle three years ago.

And there it is.

[suspenseful music]

Why do you want to assassinate her three years later?

[bird caws]

We have the wrong house.

[eerie music]

Witty, put keyword surveillance on all media.

Anyone who does press leaks, phones, emails, you name it.

I want it tapped and it gets into our hands before theirs.

If that's his game, we'll beat him to it.

Chad, I got it, the target is Dominique Boyle,

the congresswoman.

She has a huge press conference August 9th,

the same date we saw on the message.

Well, that doesn't mean a thing,

I'm sure there's a ton of stuff happening on August 9th.

What makes you think it's her that they're going after?

Because I found the man that's behind it,

his name is Michael Borden.

He's the former head of the NSA.

I ran a cross-reference between their two names

and guess what came up?

Dominique Boyle is the woman who lobbied

to get him out of the NSA.

Then we get a message from Michael Borden

detailing an assassination on the woman

who destroyed his life, the same day

she has a huge public rally.

I mean, I don't think that's a coincidence, do you?

Why's he even doing all this?

I mean, I think he's just a renegade

who thinks he can save America single handedly.

Okay, so you have more information.

Now what?

We still can't take it to any of the government agencies.

For all we know, the rabbit hole

goes much deeper than you realized.

How can you trust anybody?

If we take this public, I don't know,

I think that's the only way to save her.

No, you still don't have enough.

You put that online and it will be treated like

some asinine conspiracy theory.

There's no evidence, all you have

is a random intercepted communication,

and that in itself will be discredited.

Well, then we need to find out

more about this Borden guy.

Once we have that, we can go public.

And why are you asking me to find this?

Chad, come on, with everything I've done for you,

you owe me this.

Plus, I think I have a journalist I can reach out to.

You sure that's a good idea?

She's real anti-government.

She can't be paid off.

I think she's safe.

Okay, sounds good.

I'll let you know if I find something.

Be careful.

Hey, you have anything else

on this Husky character before I write my eulogy?

No, that's all for now.

[phone vibrates]

Harper.

Hey, I've got something for you.

Well hey, stranger, what do you have for me?

Probably the biggest yet.

I hope so, you've been silent for a while.

Well, I've been busy.

Now why do I have trouble believing that?

Busy normally means that you're calling me with leads.

Yeah, well, I've had a lot going on.

Other stuff usually refers to boys,

you've been holding out on me?

Not now, Jane, I don't have a lot of time.

All right, spill the beans.

[satellite beeping]

I can't do it here.

2PM Darlington Park, the bench by the pond.

All right, I'll be there.

[suspenseful music]

Bravo one, do you have eyes on the subject?

Target is in place, no activity.

Copy that, maintain visual.

Alpha one, status update.

No change, she's still on the bridge.

We have a male subject approaching.

Maintaining visual.

Keep eyes on him.

Heading towards the subject.

No transaction made, he's clean.

Female subject approaching at nine o'clock.

Maintain visual.

Female subject's now on the bridge.

Give me satellite feed.

So what do you have for me?

I hope this picnic in the park is worth my time?

Isn't it always?

Communication established.

This is it, folks, we're on.

It's not ready for publication yet.

I still need you to find out who these people are.

Come on, you know better than that.

Don't bring it to me unless it's ready.

And since when do I do the digging for you?

You do the digging, and you bring me the intel.

I have my own leads I'm working on right now.

Not as good as this.

Trust me, this is worth your time.

All right, what are we dealing with?

High profile assassination.

How high profile?

Congresswoman Boyle.

Who's behind it?

That's where you come in.

I need your resources on this,

it's a massive conspiracy and I can't figure out why.

Look, they cut my budgets recently.

How much do you want for the lead?

This one's free of charge,

since you're doing the digging here.

I think I was compromised already.

There's people after me.

After you?

What the hell have you gotten me into?

I can't let this woman get killed.

We have to take this public, it is the only way to save her.

I compiled all the data you need.

It's decoded for you, all you have to do

is connect the dots.

How much trouble is that going to get me into?

I don't know.

Well, you know what they say,

live by the pen, die by the gun.

Give me a couple days, I'll get back in touch.

I've got her in my sights.

Free shot.

How shall I proceed?

I'm about to lose her, it's now or never.

Five more seconds or she's gone.

Too public, let her walk.

We've closed in, so it won't be long now.

[door slams]

This is the house, this is the house.

This is the house.

This is the house, this is the house.

This is the house, this is the house.

This is the house.

This is the house.

[suspenseful music]

Good afternoon.

I love you, Popeye.

[glass shatters]

[gun fires]

[suspenseful music]

Shh, shh.

I'm here to help you, not hurt you.

Okay, look at me, look.

If I wanted to kill you, you would be dead already.

We only have seconds now, all right?

I'm leaving right now,

and you can either come with me or be left behind.

Your choice.

Okay.

[suspenseful music]

[car engine roaring]

[car door slams]

I'm sure you now realize what kind of danger you're in.

Really?

What in God's name made you think that?

How much of their data do you have?

See, how do you know anything about the data?

Who are you?

You work with them, right?

I just saved you, didn't I?

Trust me they are the last people I would work with.

I have people at my house somehow,

God knows how, firing guns at me, trying to kill me,

and I'm supposed to just trust you?

What were you doing there anyway?

How did you even get in my house?

I know what I'm about to tell you

is going to be really hard for you to understand,

given everything that you've been through,

but I need you to believe me.

And I'm not going to beat around the bush.

Your father sent me.

I've worked with him for a long time

and he's explained everything to me, okay?

And he expected that you might react this way,

that's why he told me he would need to speak to you himself.

What are you talking about?

My father killed himself 20 years ago.

What are you doing?

What is this?

Whoa, hey, it's just a phone.

Okay?

Look at me.

I will not hurt you.

Look, I have guns, see?

Here, take it, go ahead.

There's a live round in there.

You can point that at me if you,

if it makes you feel more comfortable,

but just please, let me make this phone call.

It's just one phone call, if you're not happy,

you can do whatever you want.

Understand?

Yeah, I have her with me, sir.

She's fine.

Okay.

Whoa, whoa, you have the gun,

use your other hand to take the phone.

Just listen to what he has to say.

I've been waiting for this day

for a very long time, Laura.

I'm sorry it had to happen this way.

I know this is going to be difficult,

I don't even know where to start,

you just have to believe me.

Believe what?

That you're my dad, resurrected from the dead.

We both know I have your data,

just let's stop this and tell me what you want.

One morning, when you were eight years old,

you walked downstairs from your bedroom,

in your pink and purple pajamas,

and you had your favorite stuffed animal in your hands.

You walked right up to me,

you gently placed him on the counter,

and his left ear was missing.

And you looked me square in the eye and you said,

"Daddy,

"I need you to make a bowl

"of your special chicken noodle soup for Cuddles."

Do you remember, do you remember why you asked me?

Why?

Why didn't you come get me?

How could you be smart enough to get away from them,

and not smart enough to find me?

How could you let me live for 20 years

thinking you killed yourself?

You know, I never got married, I never had kids,

I never even let myself have a friend.

My closest friend is a parrot, dad.

I never let anybody in.

'Cause everybody left me.

I didn't have a choice, Laura.

I did the best thing I could.

I knew if they believed me dead, only then would they stop.

That's why I went into hiding after escaping.

You chose your freedom over me.

No, I picked you over my freedom.

God, if they knew I was alive,

they would've come to you to get to me

and no way could I live a life on the run with you.

You didn't deserve that.

I didn't deserve that?

But I deserved to live without a mother and father?

To go from foster home to foster home,

thinking there's no one on this earth I can trust?

That's what I deserved?

To just be alone?

No, you were never alone.

I may not have been there in person,

but I watched over you from afar.

I've always kept an eye on you, baby.

When I discovered that you followed me in my footsteps,

it scared the living hell out of me.

But I also knew that the only reason

you followed in my footsteps was

because you were just like me.

Look, I need you to trust me on this one, sweet pea.

Please.

The man who's with you, he's a serviceman

and he's well-trained.

I trust him deeply, and I need you to trust him.

He's going to bring you to me.

They won't be able to track you where I am.

At least that will buy us some time.

Also, you make sure you stay completely off the radar.

This phone call itself is a risk,

so I'll be disconnecting now, okay?

I love you, Laura.

I'll be seeing you soon.

[suspenseful music]

[car engine roaring]

[gentle music]

You clearly know a lot about me.

Where I live, my name.

You going to tell me your name?

Clarence.

Clarence, wow.

I don't think I've ever met a Clarence.

That's very old-fashioned.

It was my grandfather's name.

Sounds like it's from a book or something.

How long have you been working for my dad?

About 10 years now.

He saved my life when he didn't have to,

I'm deeply indebted to him.

He probably chose to do that.

You don't owe him anything.

I know.

He's a unique man, your father.

The way he got away from them

and managed to make them believe he killed himself.

He's brilliant.

You'll understand more when you meet him.

So, what's your story?

You know, tell me about you.

Come on, I think you probably know my story, right?

Guilty as charged.

But I don't know everything,

I don't know about your personal life.

I have a boyfriend.

His name is Popeye.

Popeye?

Don't laugh, he's a really tough guy.

No, no, no, no, I wasn't making fun, it's just it's weird.

Oh, Popeye is a weird name?

It's a unique name, let's say.

Okay, well he's a parrot, so.

Look, we all need friends, right?

So, what does my dad have planned for us when we get there?

Not a clue.

I trust your father's decisions, so I just do as he says.

And right now he asked me to bring you to him,

so that's the job.

Glad to know I'm the job.

[upbeat music]

Hi, two rooms please.

What, are you guys having a fight or something?

No, we're not together.

Well you should be, 'cause you'd make a cute couple.

[clears throat] all's I got is a single room, folks.

Might have to hunker down together.

What about a room with two beds?

Nope, just a queen.

You can have the bed.

Dribbles around two guards

before passing it to the court.

Thank you, John.

This just in, another high profile death in West Hollywood,

and unfortunately very close to home.

Fellow journalist, Jane Harper.

Thanks to an anonymous tip,

the lead investigative journalist of SCAL News 9,

Jane Harper was found deceased this morning,

sitting in her vehicle, parked in her garage.

No foul play is suspected at this point,

and this is currently being deemed a suicide.

A few empty prescription medication bottles

were found in the passenger seat beside her.

Jane Harper had a prominent career

as a journalist with this network

and she leaves behind her husband, Matt Harper,

and young son, James.

Where are you going?

I got to get some fresh air.

[somber music]

Yes?

Chad, hey, it's me.

Where the hell have you been?

I don't have long.

Things have gotten really out of control.

What are you talking about?

Change of heart?

No, not a change of heart, but you were right,

this is way more dangerous than I thought.

I'm sorry I dragged you into this.

You're the only person I can trust right now.

You know I'm with you, Popeye.

Just tell me what's happening, and I'll do whatever I can.

Somebody tried to kill me today.

What?

How?

I don't know, I don't know,

they found me, they found my house.

And then minutes ago I find out Jane Harper is dead.

I literally gave her the data this morning

and then they find her dead in her garage this afternoon?

They're calling it a suicide,

I find that really hard to believe.

I don't know how they could've found you.

What are you going to do?

Where are you now?

Look, I don't have any internet access where I am,

but I need you to send them a message for me.

Tell them I'm willing to make a trade,

but they have to leave me alone.

And I have floater copies out there,

so if anything happens to me, it gets leaked.

Hey, look, I got to go.

Thank you.

Good job, kid.

[phone rings]

Incoming call, sir.

What do you have?

We have a location, sir.

Roadside pit stop, two hours from LA.

I'll forward you the coordinates.

Send Porter.

She says she's willing to do a trade.

She mentioned she had floater copies.

Well, that could be a problem.

What should I do with the kid?

Keep him alive for now, we might need him again.

You dodged a bullet.

[gun cocks] Keep typing.

[suspenseful music]

[gun fires]

I have her.

Are you sure?

Yes, definitely.

Don't make a move.

I need to know where she's headed.

Stay on her.

Copy that.

[upbeat music]

I guess he meant it when he said he was in hiding.

It's about as off the grid as it gets.

[car engine roars]

[soft music]

What do I do now?

You don't waste another second.

[car engine roars]

[birds chirping]

It's really beautiful here.

Yeah, it is, isn't it?

How you feeling about everything?

Scared.

An entire rogue agency is after me.

Firing guns in my house.

No, not them, this.

Oh, I don't know.

I'm still trying to process it, I guess.

You let me think you were dead for 20 years.

I don't know what I think.

Confused.

I guess it's gonna take a little getting used to.

Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Took a lot of getting used to.

I always doubted whether I made the right decision, Laura.

But having you right here, beside me,

it's, with all this happening, makes it...

All this stuff, it's unimportant.

What do you mean by that?

It means that I'd rather have you by my side,

even if the whole world is after us.

The group of people that are after you

are called the Agency.

It's the same group of people that were after me,

for different reasons, 20 years ago.

How much do you know about the Agency?

More than I'd like to.

I know that the man behind them is called Michael Borden.

I know his backstory, I know that it was 20 years ago,

that I remember him.

They know I'm your daughter.

No, no, not yet.

Let's keep it that way for as long as we can,

but he's sure to connect the dots eventually.

What about your suicide story, he buy that?

Yeah, but that could change any time.

When I escaped, had I not done that,

they would've never stopped coming after me.

Look, I'm sorry, dad.

There's nothing to be sorry about.

It's not your fault.

You know that, right?

I went under the radar to protect you.

I thought it was the best thing for you.

You were the best thing for me, dad.

Not leaving me alone for 20 years.

I don't think you know what that felt like.

Yeah, I think I do.

What are we supposed to do now?

Now we put an end to all of this.

And we start anew, right?

Deal?

[soft music]

[camera shutters]

[birds chirping]

Thank you.

That's all I need, so you're relieved.

If it's all right with you,

I'd like to stay and help, sir.

No, no, no, we had a deal and I'm sticking to it.

You bring her to me, you're free to go.

I'll take it from here.

I know we had a deal,

but this isn't just about our deal, sir.

Okay.

I got something to show you.

[birds chirping]

Oh, wow, you've definitely kept up with the ages.

Very different than the dial up modem I remember you having.

Well, I built a setup that is probably beyond

that of major government agencies.

I have access to everything and anything.

Yet I remain completely untraceable.

Even to Borden.

That's impressive.

So why are you showing me this?

Because this is the new age front line.

We're going to fight this battle from here.

She's holed up in some remote cabin

with a male subject, mid-50s.

Have you seen him before?

No, I haven't.

Images should be on the server now.

Pause!

Zoom in and enhance!

I'll run a facial recognition on him, sir.

No, that won't be necessary.

[upbeat music]

It really is calm here.

Yeah, but sometimes I miss

the hustle and bustle of the city, you know?

The guy honking his horn all night,

or somebody blasting their music.

So what's the real story with Michael Borden?

The only people that really know Michael Borden

are the ones that are on the receiving end of his ugly side.

And how does somebody stop him?

Well, clearly I have not been able to do so.

The most efficient way to kill a snake

is to cut it at the head.

Yeah, what if there's a much bigger snake

buried behind the smaller snake in front of you, then what?

Come on guys, this is so much bigger than him.

I mean, he's just a small piece of a bigger equation.

Borden has access to the most secure

intelligence databases in America.

Nobody knows he does.

I mean, he has an unlimited budget to do as he pleases.

Where do you think his financing comes from?

It comes from people in higher places

that in no way, shape or form

will allow Congresswoman Boyle to get elected.

How can one woman have this much power?

I mean, don't you think it's a little extreme

to assassinate her?

You know, just by being in congress,

she's severely restricted them.

The rest of 'em are set in their old ways,

look, she's the only one up to date.

The public, they already know their privacy's

a thing of the past.

Their phone calls, their emails,

their web surfing history,

but she, she is capable of exposing their practices.

Yeah, I get all that, but why Borden?

Why not hire a guy who hates your enemies

more than you do?

Congresswoman Boyle took him out of the NSA.

You want her gone, who better than Borden?

So, what we just roll over

and let ourselves get killed in the name of fear?

What I'm saying is, you got to know your enemy,

in order to defeat him.

Look, they fear Boyle because she learned

how to use the media and technology to empower herself

more than the people that she's up against.

That's the only way we're going to fight this thing.

Didn't you already try that with the journalist?

And look what happened to her,

they killed her the same day that you talked to her.

And to top it off, they made it look like a suicide.

That's because I didn't realize what I was up against.

I just have to do it better this time.

Even if you managed to get a leak out there, right?

They would have it deleted almost immediately.

Okay, and so what, Clarence?

So what do you want to do?

You want to just let this woman get killed?

By the way, neither of us are asking

for you to stick around.

Apparently you have no idea why I'm sticking around.

Hey, guys, look, I agree with Laura.

You know, we've been on the run for far too long,

at least I have, and this ends here.

If we can get the word out to the public,

they join forces, take on the battle from there.

We're just taking the first step.

Question is, how?

All right, I know someone that can help us.

[suspenseful music]

[phone rings]

It's her.

Find out what her plans are.

How?

That's up to you, you know her, figure it out.

[phone rings]

Hey.

Hey, were you able to send that message?

Yeah, I did.

But I haven't heard anything back yet, though.

Look, I think I found a way to take this thing public,

we just have to do what congresswoman Boyle's been doing.

Look, I need one more thing from you, Chad.

And look, I know that I've explained

the dangers of this to you already,

so if you're not up for it, it's okay.

All right, look, I understand.

Honestly, it's probably better that way.

No, no, no, I'll help you.

Okay, first tell me, did you consider

a DNS trace on the cross-browser?

What?

No.

Why?

That doesn't even make any sense.

[gun cocks] I'm sorry,

I betrayed you Laura, they found me.

I was just trying to help. [gun fires]

Chad!

Chad!

Chad!

Chad! Hey,

what's going on?

What's going on?

They killed him.

Killed who?

They killed him.

Wait, wait, what are you talking about?

Who did they kill?

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

What's going on?

I'm so scared.

Hey, hey, look at me, look at me, it's okay.

You're not alone anymore.

Okay?

We're here with you.

I'm here with you.

Okay?

I really like you, Laura.

I know.

[soft music]

No.

No, no.

Not here.

Not like this.

It's going to be okay, I promise.

Our informant has no more information to give us.

Why, what are you talking about?

Let's just say he's been rendered useless.

What, did you kill him?

I had to, he was giving us up.

Damn it.

What else did you get from him?

She's looking to go public with the information,

I'm just not sure how.

[knocking on chair]

Good morning.

It's nice to meet you, finally.

You sure are beautiful when you sleep.

How did you get in here?

Years of experience.

Quite the alarm system your father has set up, though.

What did you do to him?

Where's the other one?

Other what?

Not what, who.

You know, the handsome chap

you shacked up with at the motel the other night.

Oh, well, it doesn't matter.

It's not him I'm here for.

I'm here for you.

So, what was your plan?

To come up to this cabin in the middle of nowhere,

and hide like nothing ever happened?

You thought we wouldn't find you.

Well, we've already found you quite a few times,

Laura O'Brien.

Or do you prefer Popeye?

Yeah, the hacker friend of yours, Chad,

he gave up everything.

He gave you up, Laura, but who can you trust these days?

Just when you thought he was your friend.

But don't you worry, we made him pay for betraying you.

You see, we're here to help you, Laura.

Contrary to what you may believe,

we are your friends, Laura.

I mean, everything we do, we do for you,

and people just like you.

To help you, to keep you safe.

Now, in exchange, why don't you help us out?

And what we want is very simple.

So, give us what we want, and you walk.

Now, if you don't give us what we want,

we have no choice but to take it by force.

And that's the last thing we want to do.

You know you're not letting me walk away from this.

[eerie music]

Come on, let's go.

Now!

Dad!

Oh, baby, you okay?

I'm fine. [phone rings]

It's for you.

Good to finally speak with you, Laura.

I'm all for digital communication, but there's nothing

like a good old-fashioned conversation, am I right?

Oh, and say hello to poppa for me, will you?

Hugs and kisses.

All these years I thought he was dead.

Who knew?

Quite the shocker, wouldn't you agree?

Well look, Laura, we've been playing this game

for way too long, so I really need

to get down to brass tacks here.

The status quo has obviously changed,

so I see your offer and I raise you a counteroffer,

which is that you give us all the data.

As well as any copies that have been floating

around out there, and we'll let your father live.

But, he stays with us for a little while.

This is not a negotiation, Laura.

I want you to think of him staying with us

as sort of like, well, an insurance policy,

just so we feel comfortable

that there's nothing floating around out there.

If a year goes by, and something turns up, well, he dies.

Like I said, Laura, this is no longer a negotiation.

You have five seconds to make a decision

or I'll have my associates kill the both of you,

and well, that'll be the end of it.

Five seconds, starts now.

Five, four, three, two.

One.

Okay, all right, I'll give you what you want.

[gun fires]

Oh, damn glad you stayed, kid.

Porter, Porter!

What the hell's going on there?

Porter!

Your man is dead.

And now that you've lost your leverage,

there's a new deal on the table.

I'll give you your data back,

but you're going to stay away

from my family, you understand?

Hey, listen, Laura,

we tried to work with you from day one.

I'll meet you at a location of my choosing.

You need to be there in person, and alone,

if you want your data back.

Laura?

I'll be in touch with a time and a place.

Are you out of your mind?

What on earth do you think you're doing?

I have a plan.

You sure as hell better have one.

[upbeat music]

[birds chirping]

Well, well, well, we've been here before, haven't we?

You know the drill, John.

I'm surprised you showed.

Just for you, O'Brien.

What's it been, over 20 years now?

Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Nice, quaint little spot you picked.

Please, have a seat.

No, no thanks, we're fine.

Have a seat.

Here we are.

I thought the deal was to come alone?

Do you see anyone else here?

The guy on the bench hasn't turned a page

since we got here.

I'm sure there's others, right?

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree,

does it, O'Brien?

You didn't really expect me to come alone, did you?

No, but I thought you'd be a little more discreet.

Discreet?

Discretion is for those who have something to hide.

I on the other hand,

have been very transparent from day one.

In particular about the things I want.

Where is it, Laura?

Or, John, I'm not quite sure who's running the show here.

I really thought you'd do the talking.

You'll get what you want, but first I want assurances.

You're alive right now, that's your assurance.

Remember, Laura, you stole from me.

You threatened me.

And you are about to commit murder.

Whoa, who said murder?

I know all about you, Michael Borden.

I read the communications,

I know that you are planning to assassinate

congresswoman Boyle on August 9th.

All just so you can be free

to spy on every human being in America.

Just to satisfy your desires,

regardless of people's freedoms.

The only reason that you can sit in this little park

is because of what people like me do every single day.

You people, you're so kind to yourselves.

There are a lot of other ways.

You're just delusional.

I'm delusional.

The boards are going crazy,

there's activity like I've never seen before.

What are you seeing?

I'm not quite sure,

but all of these hacker cells are intensely active.

You're delusional for thinking that I'm the enemy.

When there are hundreds, thousands of people

out here plotting to kill you at this very moment.

They don't even know you.

When you're watching a movie at the theater,

when you're Christmas shopping with your 10 year old kids,

when you're at the grocery store,

buying your damn organic bananas, and quinoa.

[upbeat music]

People losing their privacy in itself is a crime.

Oh, please, spare me.

You teach her this?

Oh, I forgot you've been out of commission for a while.

Privacy is an illusion, sweetheart.

You want your liberties?

Let me tell you a little story about your liberties,

as you so like to call them.

Liberties come from people like me,

doing anything and everything in their power

to ensure that you can live in safety.

And we will do it at any cost.

So what if a congresswoman dies?

Well then that's what it costs to keep you safe.

I don't want to kill her, but I have to do it,

and I will do it, and you know who I'm doing it for?

For you!

You and your dad!

And your little parrot.

[upbeat music]

What is going on?

Can we trace and disable?

No, there's no way that we can monitor all of this.

Guys, this is way bigger than you and I.

Don't you understand this?

There's nothing you're going to do to stop it.

I will check your emails when I please,

I will check your social media feed when I please.

I'll log into your online banking

and get your account balance if I need to.

And what can you do about it?

Nothing.

And that's why you framed me 20 years ago, right Borden?

You were trying to cover up your dirty tracks

and I caught wind of it, didn't I?

But nobody gets in the way of your insanity.

That is correct.

And that includes congresswoman Boyle.

And on August 9th, at precisely 5PM,

she will be assassinated.

Sir, we've been compromised.

What?

What do you mean we've been compromised?

The tables have turned, Borden.

Why don't you pull out that cell phone

and take a look at what we sent you.

You've been streamed live to the entire world,

since you began speaking.

We used your resources against you, Borden.

All the cameras that you have on us, right now,

we tapped into your central system,

and transmitted it to the world.

Oh, you can have this back.

There's not much to hide anymore, I guess.

After all, you said it, privacy is an illusion, sweetheart.

Sir, you need to leave now.

Sir, you've been compromised.

Leave now.

You have no idea what you've done.

You ain't no better than them, Borden.

No better than the people you think

you're protecting us from.

But you're the criminal!

[gun cocks]

[suspenseful music]

[gun fires]

[upbeat music]

[crowd applaud]

First of all, I would like to thank

all of you for coming here today.

As I'm sure you are all aware,

today's outcome was supposed to be much different.

A group of individuals working independently

from our government, chose to take it upon themselves

to decide what was best for our nation and it citizens.

This would've resulted in a very tragic outcome,

both for myself, for all of you in the audience,

and for our country as a whole.

But today, we will not be held prisoners.

These people will all be brought to justice

and held accountable for their heinous crimes.

And alongside the people of this nation, in particular,

one woman's actions are to thank for that.

That woman's name is Laura O'Brien.

That single woman embodies all of the values

that we hold dear to our hearts as Americans,

strength, honor, integrity, compassion,

and the never ending quest for freedom.

As a nation, we should be proud

of what we have achieved, and everything

we will achieve in the future.

And we will live freely.
