Is it?

I'm so sorry that

you're involved in this.

Hey, Shane!

Come here!

Sit down!

Sit down!

Go. Answer it.

You get the door.

Go.

Shh.

It's going to be ok.

What's up with all the shouting?

Oh, parent-kid stuff.

Shane's being a pain in the ass.

What're you doing here?

Well, you hung up on me

so we were never able to finish

our conversation.

Oh. Listen, I uh...

I'm sorry about that.

It's just not a good time, Gary.

I'm sorry. Ok?

Oh, right.

Well, I'm just trying to figure

out what was so important

about that particular mission.

Forget about it.

Forget about it?

Ok. Ok.

Uh... how- how long we been

partners, now?

I don't know. Three years?

Yeah. Three years.

And I know when you're spooked.

And you're spooked, ok?

Look, when you called

about the security briefing

and the leak, i- I got

to thinking,

I just got a little freaked out

but it's all good now.

You got a little freaked out?

Yeah.

Gary, I swear, you're reading

way too much into this.

Am I?

-Yes, you are.

Am I?

-Yes.

Ok.

Who's that?

Oh, our neighbour.

He saw Shane bust up Ellen's

windshield with a baseball.

Yeah, I saw that.

Yeah, Shane was lying

about it, so...

Acting like a little sh*t, huh?

Yeah, dumb sh*t.

Ok.

You're ok then, huh?

Yeah.

Ok.

Ok.

Alright. Well, why don't we have

a little pow wow

before the meeting

in the morning.

Tomorrow.

Yeah, ok.

Oh, and uh, tell Shane

to fly straight

or I'm gonna kick his ass.

You hear that, Shane?

Yeah, he heard it.

Alright.

Yeah, you got it.

Have a good night.

You are a painfully good liar,

Neil.

Are there any other secrets

we should discuss?

Dad, there's something that

i need to tell you.

Shane, you don't have

to do this!

You tell him nothing!

Don't tell him anything!

I was there, dad.

When granddad died.

He squeezed my hand and he

hadn't done that in months.

And then he looked at me

and he knew me.

And then... he stopped.

He stopped breathing.

I could have gotten a nurse.

I didn't feel like that was

what he wanted so I just-

I left him there for them

to find him.

I guess I didn't tell you

because I didn't want you

to feel guilty for not being

there.

You should have been there,

dad.

You should have been there.

That's a very good confession,

Shane.

But the guilty should

never be spared.

Visual ID confirmed.

Have you ever felt real guilt,

Neil?

When you look at those

people below

and you take their lives,

do you feel anything?

What do you want? Huh?

Do you want a confession?

Fine.

Me and the guy who just left,

we killed your family.

Satisfied?

Not at all.

Come on. You want revenge,

don't you?

You want revenge.

Come on, give me your best

f***ing shot.

Take it out on me!

But let them leave.

Who said anything

about revenge?

Well, why else would

you be here?

Haven't you listened to anything

I've said?

I'm listening. I'm listening.

Please tell us

how we can help you.

Tell us.

I've lost everything.

I'll never see my family again.

There's nothing left

for me here.

You're upset, you're not

thinking clearly.

This- no, you don't want this.

Please.

I am thinking clearly.

Please.

Please, please, please.

I'm thinking of how they were

taken from me.

I'll do anything you want.

But please let them leave.

I miss them so much.

I miss them so much.

Look.

Please, imir, let them go.

Just- just let them leave.

I'll do anything you want,

please.

Just let them leave.

Just let them go.

I'm sorry.

Now's the time, Neil.

No!

No target.

Shane!

No visual on detonator.

Hold positions.

Hey!

Get off me!

Now you... understand, Neil.

No.

You're not gonna die!

No!

No!

In the wake of

the recent NSA data breach,

private drone contractor

Neil wiston has come forward

with more information

on the CIA test program

that blurs the line between

contractors and the military.

Ironically, as a private

contractor,

Mr. wiston may be

held responsible

for any civilian casualties

during these previously

autonomous combat missions.

Some folks may call wiston

a patriot

but I have no doubt he is

a traitor to this country

and will be charged

with these crimes.

Serious damage has been done to

programs of national security.

This is the danger of

whistleblowers like Neil wiston.

They make our nation

vulnerable.
