Blackhat Page #3

a proxy server in the Ukraine.

Who knows where it bounces to off that?

Yeah, and our players are foreign, too.

What about the money?

Three accounts, all in the same place.

They took $74 million.

We're going to follow the money.

Where?

Put my sister on.

We're flying to China in the morning.

My dad was a steel worker.

Single father.

He raised us on his own.

Came to visit, twice.

Then he got sick.

I used to replay memories

so I could stay oriented

for when I got out.

Captain Chen?

Paul Wang, CNCERT.

In here.

What's the status?

We're trying to restore coolant

by pumping in sea water.

I got more injured.

Since it happened,

was there any demand for money?

No.

Then it's not about extortion.

Is he political? A terrorist attack?

Any declaration?

No claim. No statement.

What does this guy want?

What did the malware attack?

Programmable Launch Controllers. PLCs.

They tell the pumps

to turn on, turn off,

to cool the reactor.

Any idea where the attack originated?

I was tracking the malware

when the core went.

We had to evacuate.

But if a machine failed,

it should have saved the memory

to a diagnostic file.

Yeah, that's right. And in that memory dump

may be your traces of code.

Maybe even this guy's real IP address.

But those servers are in the control room.

Everything is still hot.

We're fighting a meltdown.

Chen Lien.

Inspector Alex Trang, Hong Kong Police.

Hathaway, US Marshal Mark Jessup.

Hello.

So, is this them?

These the guys?

Yeah.

We got anything?

Here they are.

Johnny Li, Yan Lin, Samuel Wu.

Li just got out of prison

two months ago.

Yan and his mother are both junkies.

Wu runs a chop shop.

Hardly commodities speculators.

They're fronts? Proxies?

So how do they communicate?

How do they connect up to our actor?

They don't.

Phones, the Internet.

And we've been on them

all day and all night.

Nothing.

If you were our player, right now,

what would be your next move?

I'd make my trail go cold.

- How?

- I'd cash out.

Cash money doesn't leave a trail.

Pick it up. Walk it anywhere you want.

But the money hasn't moved yet.

There's no activity in the accounts.

Yeah, this is all too clean.

I mean, there's got to be

somebody between them,

talking to them, instructing them,

telling them what to do.

There has to be someone in contact.

It wouldn't be the main player.

Too much exposure.

A middle man?

They didn't all fall by

here by accident either.

Where?

Can I see this?

Right there. Where's this?

Yau Ma Tei.

Great.

OCTB.

- We're running a surveillance.

- On whom?

Some Lebanese guy

on our trafficker watch list.

Why'd you let him in?

Well, they want to see if he's talking

to anybody homegrown.

Why here?

Every morning he comes here

to meet someone.

Run him down.

Elias Kassar.

Fought with the Christian Phalangists

in the Civil War, then disappeared.

Popped up in the '90s

with the paramilitaries in Colombia.

Renting a house

month-to-month in Shek O.

Who's he meet?

No one.

No one ever shows.

He texts.

Is your phone an Android?

Can I see it?

Trang.

Bluetooth transmitter.

Short range. We would never pick it up.

See, they don't come to meet him.

They come to meet this.

Kassar texts,

Wu, Yan and Li walk by.

The receivers in

their pockets pick it up.

They read it, delete it.

Kassar never meets them,

never sees them.

No emails. No phones. No nothing.

Slick.

Can you crack it?

In about a month.

See, it's locked in GPG encryption.

So, at least a 512-bit key.

We pick him up, lean all over him.

Or we let him ride and tail him

to the main player.

You don't have a choice. I mean,

this guy's history. He ain't gonna roll.

I think we let him ride.

Yeah.

Sunrise is in two hours.

When this is over,

what will you do?

I don't know. Fix TVs,

garage door openers.

Are you still gonna like me

if I'm fixing garage door openers?

I don't know. Maybe.

They're moving the money.

All three accounts.

Wire transfers to a Macau casino.

They're cashing out.

- Surveillance?

- Nobody's moved.

Kassar?

We can't reach Yan's team in Shek O.

We're going to Shek O. We're going

to Shek O to pick up Kassar.

Launch STU. Meet at the heliport.

I'm going to pick up the mules.

Let's talk about this.

I'm not blind.

I know the two of you are together.

But look at it through my eyes

and what do you see?

"Hathaway. Been in prison.

Damaged goods.

"Not much to offer my sister,

"and his future's not exactly guaranteed,"

is what I'd see.

What else?

"She deserves better,"

I'd think, if I was Chen.

I've rarely seen her happier.

But what if this fails?

Nine more years in prison.

What kind of life is that for her?

Chen, it's Barrett.

I hear you.

The mules. We've got Li and Yan.

And listen, we can't reach

surveillance in Shek O.

Come on. This way.

Trang!

Hold on, man! Hold on!

Stay down!

Go! Go!

Come on.

Elias! Elias, you coming?

Come on! Come on!

Don't wait! Drive the barge out of here!

- Wai.

- It's Paul Wang.

We were able to restore the water

above the fuel rods

and stabilize the reactor.

It's still hot, but we can get in.

Nick! Mark!

I still don't get it. What's he after?

And why this?

Hey, what'd she say?

Move fast.

Wang!

- Wang!

- Hey!

Take him! Both of you, get out of here!

Hathaway...

We were right.

In the memory dump

are the fragments of the malware.

But it's corrupted.

Maybe his IP address,

but it's too full of holes.

You know, when the Feeb team

busted me in '07 and hit my door,

I was flushing files.

But when I came to trial,

they retrieved all this data

that should have been irretrievable.

Black Widow. It's NSA software.

Examines fragments

and reconstructs originals

within a couple of

hours of supercomputing.

Big cases like yours,

they loan it to us.

Rich, I need access to Black Widow.

Sharing classified tech with the Chinese?

Are you kidding?

That's not even getting

into Hathaway using it.

We've committed to

full cooperation, Rich.

Yeah, well, you're Justice. We're NSA.

If I wanted to, I can't.

And I don't want to.

An unequivocal "No."

Okay, so how's it work? You give NSA

the data, they run it, what?

No, they have a remote login. We run it.

You're not thinking.

Come on. They got

the keys to the kingdom.

Our guy's address, maybe.

Whatever he's cooking up

next is right in there.

Only, we can't read it.

Let's go.

My old correspondence

with Donahue is here.

But there's no way that

login is still active.

I'm not gonna use that login.

Okay, Donahue, the NSA contact

you were just talking with.

If NSA discovers the intrusion...

You sure you want to do this?

FBI can't explain after the fact?

You locate this guy, you're okay.

You get discovered, you're dead meat.

You know that, don't you?

The NSA guy you were talking to,

what's his supervisor's name?

Ben Hitchens.

Maybe it's better

if the two of you and you

aren't around for the next part

so you can deny being here.

- How do you feel about this?
