Keep your legs bent, then you can stretch them out when you are steady.

1, 2, 3. All the way up. And clamp between his knees.

It burns, but it's good. Perfect.

Spin around.

Perfect! I'm so proud of you!

When you are really happy, like a big part of you just get on with it.

One thinks, what could be more important than this?

What? Oh my God, it's so beautiful!

Many people sail through life happy.

Why would not I?

A man's usability is due to IF HE LIVES UP TO ITS IDEAL

I started working for the CIA again.

My title was a solution consultant.

In principle, I sold over priced hardware.

I thought you had spoken up. It was only commissioned work for Geneva.

Booz Allen Hamilton, Dell, in collaboration with the CIA, NSA and DIA.

It is the intelligence world revolving door.

How was it to be back in the US?

It was ...

It was really nice to be home.

But Maryland's where it started to turn for me.

Each time I felt I let fear and doubt which kept me awake

I found something new that I could not ignore.

There were three top officials of the NSA. Bill Binney, Ed Loomis and Kirk Wiebe.

They had complained about the exceeding of powers and abuse of power for years.

That was all they did. Only registered complaints.

And the FBI broke down their doors and did raided.

And then there was Thomas Drake. As the other three

Drake tried to change the system from inside.

But when it did not work, he went to the media.

So he was accused of spying and we were shocked, the whole world of intelligence.

Why do you think you were accused of this? They wanted to send a message.

To whom? To other whistleblower. To other government officials.

"Shut up. Do not challenge power,

"If so, we will crush you"

It develops new applications on the NSA's operations center in Oahu.

You would be set against Chinese cyber divisions.

Are you interested?

It will not be as high pay now but

you will be doing your country a great service, I know that's important to you.

You mean services in Geneva? Geneva was a mistake.

We would not have pushed you there. You did not,

I asked for field work, and you gave it to me. Not your fault.

Is it something that's my fault?

You did not say that we trawled the world of information, Corbin.

Nice shooting, Ed. Thank you.

Fantastic.

It was the only thing I was good at in the army.

Have you considered that it's been 60 years since the Second World War

and we still have not had something third.

Why? For that we used our power, in general, for the world's best.

For prosperity. Order.

How can we defend ourselves against nuclear war, terrorist attacks,

cyber attacks, without a central intelligence factory that runs around the clock?

So we'll be posting billions of people's lives?

They do this through the public consumption.

The book of his life, and it is voluntary. We give them no choice. We take everything.

Most Americans do not want freedom. They want security.

It is a simple haggling. Good girl!

If you want to play, but all the new toys and be sure

you must pay the entry fee.

But people do not even know that they signed the agreement.

Where is the modern battlefield, soldier?

Everywhere. What is the first rule of war?

Never reveal your position.

And if an unauthorized person knew? Or Congress?

When the enemy would also know. Such is the world now, Mr. Snowden.

Secrecy is the security and safety is victory.

Tack sir.

Here's one that I want you to meet.

Mr Lowell. Jim. How are you?

Dorian. Allan. Welcome to the United States.

How did it go today, Corbin? Very mediocre.

Not like Ed here.

Apparently teaches army out how to shoot straight. So this is Ed Snowden?

Nice to meet you. The brains behind the Epic Shelter.

Brilliant work. Thank you.

I have some questions for you. Jim ...

Excuse us, gentlemen. Nice to meet.

Well .. it seems very useful for our drnarprogram.

I heard that. With the transfer of intelligence from abroad.

Yes, the transfer takes place directly at the gathering. Directly to the Pentagon.

And the Mossad if they need to. We can act directly.

The drones have shortened response time to a tenth.

Ed, you were working with signals in Japan too, right?

What did you think of it? It was a very rewarding job, sir.

With this new job in Hawaii, you will have even greater safety.

I asked Corbin to talk to you, but it's my offer.

Take time to think. It will take a few months to get the program back on its feet.

Excuse me, gentlemen. I see dinner.

A beer, sir. And you? No thanks.

Epic Shelter was created as a backup program.

Lowell create this job for you, Ed.

You will be the first consultant outside Fort Meade working with cyber defense.

It's your ticket to the top.

Do you think the US is the best country?

And.

Have you ever used the program you had security concerns for?

No.

We usually do not need to submit our own work

but my editor said that she would make an exception.

Good, right?

I will have to submit a contribution.

Ignore me on purpose or what?

No. Sorry.

I was just thinking. On what?

I was going to take it at dinner, but come and sit.

Is everything okay? Yes.

Vicedirektren p NSA

has offered me a new job.

It was a while ago and now they need an answer.

Is there anything you want to do?

I would be good at it.

Can you tell me anything about it at all?

You know I can not. I know the mission in the first place.

Is there any social benefits? Gala dinners in the White House?

The job is in Hawaii.

We have worked hard to get where we are now.

And you're willing to just tear it up again.

We finally have a house we love, and a job I like.

And real friends, and we live near our families.

I understand, and if you want to stay so we stop. That's how it is.

Do not say it just because I want to hear it.

I do not.

I let you once, I will not do again.

Sh*t, sorry. The paste. One second.

I think I actually almost got it right this time.

I'll get some candles.

h gud! And! And!

I know Tegretol. It slows you down. I've seen it with my mom.

She has taken all possible medicine for life.

They function in 70% of cases.

Ed, epilepsy is serious. If you get an attack

when driving alone or with someone else in the car

or if you are somewhere where you can fall ..

There is nothing to take lightly. It is vital to take the medicine.

Okay?

And.

Oh, thank you.

I have thought about what the doctor said. If less stress.

A warmer climate could help.

If Hawaii is something we decide is better for you

so I'm going with.

Janine, how did the conversation with the White House?

I made it clear that we have a genuine FISA court orders.

They wanted to see it, we refused. Now, I pray that it is genuine.

Questions you really? No one has seen before. There is no model.

Our source risked his life to that document. There is genuine.

Tell me, has the White House claimed something specific about national security,
