spy his whole life.

Caught me red-handed.

"Trust me," he said.

I get it.

"No one likes to fail.

"But I'd rather not

catch fish with my family...

than catch 20 fish alone".

I didn't even understand

what he meant back then.

But I do now.

Take care, Max.

End transmission.

Transmission ended.

What was all that?

That was the first decent

conversation we've had in years.

Oh! Oh, my God!

Would you relax?

What?

Do you have a moment?

Yes! I do, I got your message.

Jesus.

What happened?

Did Secret Service Barbie dump you?

I-I need to show you something.

Take a look at this.

You remember that day

Dad took us fishing?

He dropped his

cellphone in Key Biscayne.

Our dad never took us fishing.

Oh.

That's sad.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm not good at the, like,

talk about your daddy issues

kinda friend thing, I just...

What? No.

No, no, no.

It's a code.

"He dropped his cellphone

in Key Biscayne".

His cellphone number is the key.

Take a look at the digits.

Okay, you got your first number,

that's your first word.

Second number, nine.

You move on nine words.

- That's your second word.

- Mm-hmm.

Third number, nine again.

Another nine, you move on.

Then nine, then two, then nine,

then five, so on, and so on,

until you get an entirely

different message.

So, who came up with

this encryption, a 12-year-old?

No. I was 13.

Okay.

So, one, nine, nine, nine,

two, nine, five,

five, eight, seven, one. And go.

Proof of sabotage at the

highest level of government.

Trust no one.

Well, you said you were

looking for action.

Yeah, but I mean, holy sh*t.

If you don't wanna take

this any further, I understand.

Oh, no, no, no.

I do, I do. It's just...

I do and I don't.

Kinda like going on a roller coaster

or eating Chipotle.

What's our next move?

Okay, I need you to find

anything you can

on a file named Project Zeus.

Project Zeus?

Yeah.

Okay. Looks like we have

ourselves a bro-spicacy here.

Uh, just run the damn search.

Um...

I am getting a hit.

Um...

Looks like it's double-encrypted.

It's a little OCD.

C-Can you break it?

Yeah, I could but...

I can't do it from here.

File's under a White

House security

network and it's

just not hackable.

I'd have to log in and

I don't have the credentials for it.

Sh*t. Nor do I.

Uh, I-I don't know anyone who does.

Yeah, you do.

Max?

Freeze.

Oh! Holy sh*t!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, honey, relax!

Who is this girl in our house?

I-I can explain everything.

Uhmm, that sounds really pervy.

- Shut up.

- Okay, I'm sorry, I will.

I broke one of your wine glasses.

Um, i-it just fell and

I promise I'm gonna reimburse you.

Um, I have the money, I'm sorry.

Talk.

This is Dana.

She works with me in State.

Now I asked her here

'cause I need her help.

And uh, well, as it turns out,

I need your help too.

She's hot!

I know how much

your job means to you.

I took an oath, Max.

We have rules.

And technically,

you're not supposed

to be sleeping together, either.

Dana.

You're asking me

to commit a crime.

You're soliciting a Secret

Service agent

to break into the

White House server

and illegally obtain files.

And you thought I would say yes!

Yeah, I still think

you're gonna say yes.

Why?

Because I'm the one

who's asking you.

You know, and if I'm asking you,

well, then it must be important.

And you know that

it's bigger than you and me.

You and I.

- Shut up.

- Shut up.

Sarah, please.

One time.

We need to play back

the security cameras

without alerting anyone.

Someone killed Makmoud.

We find out why,

we'll know who's behind this.

But you can't access the cameras

without being logged in.

That's why we're going

to the backup server room.

See? It comes in handy

that I built the place.

Yes. But I live here.

Show-off.

Makmoud was prepping diagnostics

on the Afghan sat

while we launched a replacement.

Son of a b*tch.

He pulled something off the sat.

Poor bastard figured it out

and they killed him

to make sure no one else did.

There are no cameras

allowed in the locker rooms.

Then let's go

take a look for ourselves.

What's the code?

Seven, six, three, six, three.

What do you think you're doing?

You know what happened to me

out there wasn't an accident.

Whoever did that...

killed Makmoud.

And what makes

you think it is not me?

'Cause if it was you,

I'd be dead already.

Dussette, lower your gun.

Whatever you're looking for

it is not in this locker.

I was here when Makmoud came in.

He put his stuff

in an empty one.

Why didn't you tell me?

You watched the same

security footage that I did.

I was just waiting to see

who's gonna come and

look for Makmoud's stuff.

It's in here.

Two, six, six, five, three.

Bingo.

This is everything he copied off

the satellite onto

his holoframe.

That's a virus.

That wasn't generated by the

satellite's onboard computer.

Because they were planted.

Makmoud found the virus,

got killed before he could tell anyone.

Oh, I got it.

All right, here we go.

Project Zeus.

There are tens of thousands

of storm simulations in here

and each one is

starting in a different place.

They all end the same way.

A geostorm.

And unlike anything

we've ever seen.

Dana, can you-can you

show us just uh,

the simulation that

begins in Afghanistan?

Yeah, sure.

Okay, now, now filter those

so that the second

malfunctions over Hong Kong.

Where are you going with this?

What if Cheng realized

that someone was

following one of his scenarios?

Making it look like

a predicted pattern of malfunction.

Disguising a crime

like a series of accidents.

It might actually be

a series of accidents.

If it were, they

wouldn't have killed him.

Someone has weaponized Dutch Boy.

Virtual conference initiating.

Hey.

New face?

Yeah, yeah, a friend.

She's keepin' things

off the monitors, chillin',

so, we're good.

- So, you got my message?

- Yeah, I got your message.

It's uh, it's worse than we thought.

Whoever's doing this is using

Dutch Boy to target cities.

And they're disguising

their moves as malfunctions.

They already killed the man

who found out about this.

And I don't think they're done.

Yeah.

This is my life's work, Max.

You know, they said it was impossible,

but we pulled it off.

And it worked

perfectly, without fail

day after day, year after year.

So, what do people do with it?

Turn it into a gun.

I know.

I know. It's not too late.

We can fix this

before it happens again,

but I can't do it on my own.

I need you. I need

you to tell me.

How are they

controlling Dutch Boy?

- I know how they're controlling it.

- How?

A virus.

Well, could you stop it?

There's only one way.

We can shut down

Dutch Boy temporarily.

The reboot will

flush out the system,

kill the virus, and revert back

to the failsafe OS.

Okay. Let's do it.

Then I'm authorizing.

Yeah, I think we've established

I don't really wait for that.

This isn't a Chromebook.

You don't just put your
