[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

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.

[upbeat music]
