- Not good.

It's worse for the guy in there.

I'm surprised you went along.

Washington didn't see Chai Wan.

You asked him to change his password?

When he downloaded the PDF...

what he downloaded was the keylogger.

Got it.

Now, we wait.

We're in.

You can call me

"chica" any time you want.

This is our actor's home IP address.

His home server.

He's not in Mumbai,

not in Minneapolis, not in Riga.

He is in Jakarta.

Can you crack the site?

No.

Intrarmour's a hosting company

like a hotel or a Swiss bank,

exclusively for black hat hackers,

so it's bulletproof.

His server's in there,

but we can't crack the site.

All right. So, the move

is strictly low tech.

As in...

Go to Jakarta, burglarize the place,

get our hands on his server.

We don't have visas or badges

that work in Indonesia.

Can't FBI get us documented?

After the NSA turndown,

I'd stay away from D.C.

Then I'll work my side

of the house for entry.

That'll take a face-to-face

with my bosses.

- All right.

- All right.

You getting anywhere?

No. Not into the servers.

But I got into Intrarmour's accounting.

Look at this.

Charges to our boy's account. Okay, so?

Look at this. $14, $17.

Now, $16,400.

Five times. Paid to SatelliteShot.

SatelliteShot rents satellite time.

- What kind of shot?

- This kind.

Hi-res scan.

Of the coast of Malaysia.

What's there?

Nothing much.

Why'd he scan there?

Sh*t!

This is Barrett.

What the hell did you

let go on there, Carol?

Pollack?

- Do you know what your guy did?

- What are you talking about?

Cut the crap. I'm talking about calls I got

from the goddamn NSA and Defense.

Our guy blew a reactor at Chai Wan.

Don't you watch CNN?

That's not the point.

That's not the point.

That's exactly the point.

The guy we're working will drop the big

hammer and not think twice about it.

Come on, come on, come on.

Don't evoke 9/11 on me.

You didn't lose anyone there, Stanley.

Look, I'm under orders. Now, so are you.

Bring him in, Carol. Bring him in.

What's going on?

Damn it! Hathaway's gone.

Hey. This says he's here.

He cut his bracelet?

He can't. It signals an alarm.

This says it's working.

Check your settings.

He reset it to once every 24 hours.

We haven't been tracking him since LA.

- They're at Cheung Hau Street.

- Sh*t.

Hey.

They're coming for you.

They're coming for you

because of Black Widow.

That was fast.

They want me to turn you

over to the Americans.

So, turn me in and walk away.

And then, Barrett and Jessup

will back me up.

NSA won't care.

They think because of you,

now we have Black Widow.

You have to run.

What? You're gonna refuse an order?

You escaped.

We reconnect in Jakarta.

Look, your bosses can add two and two.

I'm not turning you in.

Do I go with you or Nick?

Neither.

- What?

- This doesn't involve you.

Who made that choice?

He's right.

Look, I'm not sure there's any light

at the end of this tunnel anymore.

What did you do, Chen Dawai?

Remind him he owes you?

To get him to leave me behind?

You're not going down that road.

I decide what's for me!

Yeah, well, I decide what's for me.

I'm going. You're not.

Right now, we need our data.

Here. You take the car.

You may have to move faster.

I'll bring the hard drive to Quarry Bay.

He's in Kowloon. Right here.

You're gonna take him into custody?

I follow orders.

Which orders?

Stop the bad guys, or arrest Hathaway?

I'm gonna ask you a personal question.

Don't answer if you don't want to.

Who did you lose in 9/11?

My husband.

You got to get rid of that thing.

We got a couple of hours.

Hold it. Hold it.

He's on the move again.

He's in Hong Kong.

Quarry Bay.

- Where?

- He's headed toward Quarry Bay.

I thought you were going separately.

Nick's taking a small plane.

I'm flying commercial.

Sister, go home.

You did this.

All right, let's go.

Lien!

Hold up! Stop.

- What?

- Hold up. Hold up!

- What?

- Stop.

- What?

- Listen!

I'm a fugitive now!

They'll issue the warrant within hours!

Hey.

Would I take you where I'm going?

Don't blame your brother.

No!

Go, go, go!

Barrett!

Lien, can they get to the next stop

before the train?

Listen, we gotta grieve later, okay?

We have to survive.

Can they get to the next

stop before the train?

No, they can't.

Okay, okay.

We're both going after them!

We're both going.

Yes, we are.

We are.

Perak, Malaysia.

Coordinates are right here.

Here. Right here. Looked at this.

He's got $74 million

in cash, he's writing code.

What for?

What's here?

You got Dean Palm Oil,

Pera Limited Mining.

Agriculture... Jesus.

Hey, this pump, it's a Stasik pump.

They use the same model

Stasik water pumps as Chai Wan reactor.

The same brand.

Are they controlled by the same PLCs?

Yes.

What are they mining over there?

Pera Limited.

- Mining tin.

- Tin?

Malaysia is one of

the biggest exporters.

And there's four other tin mining

operations in the next valley.

This is a riverbed.

They divert water with Stasik pumps.

You know why Chai Wan reactor?

We've been looking through

the looking glass the wrong way.

He didn't target the reactor

to knock out the reactor.

He targeted it to knock out the pumps.

He was rehearsing. It was a rehearsal.

Chai Wan was a rehearsal.

He's going to shut down these pumps

and flood the tin mine,

and the valleys, and the villages,

village people, village dogs.

Create a shortage in tin.

Tin prices will rise and shoot up.

His $74 million from Chicago

was to buy options on tin ore.

That's what you're doing.

Isn't it, you son of a b*tch?

All right, look at this.

A third version of his virus,

running more PLCs.

Fifty-three...

Fifty-three PLCs.

Five different tin mines.

For which he's going to flood

five river valleys.

Here's the money from Chicago.

$73.6 million in cash,

deposited into a local bank.

Bank Sentra Agatis.

To this address.

- Hi.

- Hello.

Excuse me, I'm sorry.

Can you speak English?

- A little.

- Okay.

I'm here to have a meeting with

Mr. Jumhari in five minutes.

Go to the reception on the third floor.

Yeah, I know, but

can you help me?

My presentation got stained.

Any chance,

can you print me a new copy, please?

Not supposed to, but...

So?

Home run.

You got my message.

Why are you here?

You tell me, what do you want?

I am not gonna talk to a f***ing bagman.

Here's the terms.

Phones only. No face-to-face.

You got that? Good.

Next, your boss on

the line with me in 15.

That's not possible.

I have $74 million of his money.

You make it possible.

Yeah.

Your note said that you know me,

but I don't know you.

But that's not really true,

is it, Hathaway?

Yeah? I know you.

You do?

Well, that makes one of us.

Sometimes I wake up in the morning

and I don't even know who I am.

Where I am. In what country.

And you know me?

I know you,

and you're about money

because it's your scoreboard

in the virtual world.

You found me.

What do you want?

I want to be Casper the Ghost.
