And my password is my thumbprint.

May I?

Sure.

Can I have some approval now?

All right. This is the code for our RAT.

See, it's compact. It's slick. Under a meg.

You would never have picked up on it.

- Ever leave that USB drive on your desk?

- I suppose so.

Who works here who doesn't like you?

Recently hired? Fired?

No.

Who?

Lozano.

His mother passed away.

He left two weeks ago.

John Lozano. He was only

on the job for a month.

- He have access to your office?

- Yes.

I'll pull his employment records.

Everything will come up phony.

Except this. You got his photo ID?

Yeah.

This section of his code

right here is a mess.

There's 25 lines, he's left text.

It looks incomplete.

Are they notes to himself?

Dead-end ideas?

Maybe he's still writing.

Yeah, that's good.

So if you've got the ability

to move a commodity

any way you want, what do you do?

I play it out long and low-key.

I do not do one big spike.

Instead, I'd play it out month after month.

Less risk of detection.

Yeah, right. But our guy

jacks soy 250% in a day.

It's flashy. He knows

he's gonna bring down heat.

Maybe he needs cash.

Fast.

He's got the money from the soy run-up.

And he's busy writing

code for what's next.

I think the real hit is still to come.

We have Lozano's photo.

What's on his neck?

Kid had tattoos.

You have any routine surveillance tapes?

Right there.

Face of stone.

- Pollack.

- It's me.

Can you have someone

jump on the NCIC database?

Search for Latino males

under 30 with priors in,

I don't know, anything like carding,

identity theft,

who were in West Texas prison gangs.

Our cowboy has a tattoo on his shoulder.

He's with Los Zapotecas.

I'm sending you something right now.

That's him in the bottom left.

Alonzo Reyes. Did two years

in Huntsville for carding.

Paroled. Moved back to LA.

I'll have LA pick him up.

He's gonna monitor his home grid. I did.

We got a better shot

getting a first look at him ourselves.

Isn't that why you brought me here?

Okay?

Yeah. Go ahead.

That means you and me are on the money.

Unless you think you can

do that on your own, too.

I do okay.

You do?

Let's see how you handle

the financial sector.

Thanks, Stanley.

My eye's on you.

Where do you think I'm going?

This guy is one step away

from my "get out of jail free" card.

So...

How can I help?

We want to see your trading records

of your traders who took

large profits from the soy run-up.

You're requesting I turn over records

to the FBI and a foreign power

on thousands of private brokers

and traders?

Afraid I can't possibly accommodate you.

You're gonna protect the person

who manipulated your market?

No. You're casting your net

way too wide, Mr. Chen.

You want to see my data, you come up

with something a little more tangible.

Something more in the way

of probable cause than your hunch.

Gary. May I call you Gary?

How's this for tangible?

In the next 15 seconds

I call Laura Greer

at the Commodities Trading Commission.

And I say, "Laura, how you doing?

"I'd like to launch an official

investigation on one Gary Baker."

So the headline,

"M-Tech Official Investigated

for Aiding and Abetting Cyber Criminals"

leaks to CNN in the next 90

so it makes

the three o'clock news cycle,

as well as the nightly news.

That'd be good, too.

Am I being tangible?

Gary?

Look around here. But I stay here

with you. No take nothing.

Hey, mi carnal?

What happened to you?

He has WRT hardware and an onion router.

He can route encrypted data

and stay anonymous with no IP address.

Yeah, somebody must have

told him how to set it up.

She probably called 911.

Who's the woman?

It's the manager. Mrs. Novo.

Here, let me see it.

Here. Try it now.

Barrett, this is Jessup.

Thanks, Jessup.

Well, we better make following

the money pay off,

Reyes isn't. He's dead.

Oh, great.

Wait a minute.

We've been looking for buyers of soy.

Switch to sellers.

Only our player would know exactly

when to get out.

Reyes got an email about a drop tonight.

With no Reyes, we gotta find

a new link to our main player.

I'm gonna see who shows.

You tell Jessup?

No. They'll spot him 10 blocks away.

You get into not enough for one day?

Look, I play it my way, it works.

It don't, at least I own it.

I go, too.

You look not so different

from the pictures.

What pictures?

That my brother sent me before.

Why you're in prison?

I was in a bar, I met some girl,

and some guy got in my face about her.

He started a fight and when it's over,

he's in the hospital and I'm arrested.

I wound up sentenced

to 18 months at MCI-Norfolk.

I traded academia for gladiator academy.

Then what?

Then I got out.

I'm 22,

and not a lot going on in Silicon Valley

for an ex-con with no degree. So.

Carding?

Yeah, that and I was

in wholesaling internationally.

I had an eight-year run, then the Feeb

caught up with me. And I got 13 years.

You have regrets?

Regrets? No.

The banks got hit for

the losses, not people.

I didn't burn people.

I don't burn people.

No.

I mean, banks are chiseling everybody

all the time, anyway.

I don't feel sorry for banks, no.

I mean, I'm sorry for

what happened to you.

Don't be. I'm not fishing

for sympathy, here.

I did the crime, I'm doing the time.

Time isn't doing me.

What's that mean?

I do my own time, not the institution's.

See, to hold on to who you are in there,

you dedicate yourself to your program.

You work out on your body and your mind.

Open your eyes.

What'd you say?

You talk like you are still in prison.

But you're not in prison.

Get your thinking to where you are,

not where you've been.

What do you know about where I've been?

No. Nothing.

- No, nothing.

- But...

Okay, tell me, what is it I'm supposed

to start seeing so fast?

Where you are.

What, Koreatown?

This restaurant, this table? What?

You'll be in the rapid stream

of decision-making.

Having to make intuitive choices.

The people against you

are high-speed, world-class dangers.

To be genius coder

to outsmart, out-think

like my brother always said you could,

you have to think about it clear.

Not easy, I know.

There's no transition time.

But I believe you are a very strong man.

Very smart man.

Here, Chen.

Three trades. Three different accounts.

Large volumes.

They all sell within

minutes of each other.

Just at the soft close,

at 13:
13 and 13:14.

Timed perfectly when to dump.

What's that?

Bank accounts. Foreign.

Same place, all three.

Where?

Hong Kong.

You want your bill?

You not order more, you give up table.

You're really hurting for space?

Maybe our guy is no-show.

What is it?

Let's go.

What's happening?

Who are you?

Why are you here?

Who are you?

Watch out!

Hey, hey! Hey!

And Reyes probably was killed.

The email on his computer was bait.

Whoever this is wanted to see

if we were on Reyes' trail.

We're burned.

Could you track it

to our guy's location?

No, the video feed went through
