Snowden Page #7

that would prevent you from publishing?

No. I asked several times. They had no answer.

Well then, what more do you want? You can publish and know that you are safe.

Glenn, I want to talk with Alan before going ahead.

When he lands? About six hours.

No, we are live targets here. The clock is 13 in New York,

If you do not get out of this in four hours we miss the evening news on the East Coast.

We can publish later tonight.

Sorry, but Alan is our chief editor ..

Bullshit! The government knows that we have the documents now.

The CIA could burst at any time and you want more time.

Act like a f***ing journalist instead of procrastinating.

I was standing right up against the White House.

I risk my career. How dare you doubt me?

Let dampen down a bit ... You're right, I doubt you.

This is completely incomprehensible.

We publish themselves, you are out.

Okay, Glenn. We have it ready by the time the 16th

I need to go through the article again. Why?

To still need editing.

All intelligence jargon, my head hurts.

PRISM article is still incomprehensible. It is the second article.

Verizon is the first. Have it ready at 16, later 17

No shilly-shallying, because then we run ourselves.

"THE TUNNEL", OPERATIVT NSA-CENTER

OAHU, HAWAII 2012

My new job was counter-espionage against the Chinese

the NSA's cryptographic regional centers on Oahu.

Place the bag there, sir.

No personal laptops, no USB memory, no phones?

No electronic devices? No.

Okay.

Snow White, is that you?

Gabriel? What the hell are you doing here?

Fantastic.

You work here? Yup, three years, two months and five days.

But who's counting?

Who would have thought that an underground base WWII

would be paradise for thousands of geeks?

Is it good pizza here? Yes, but the lift is tough as hell.

A hell of a place, right?

Where do you work? Are you NTOC or ROC?

Between us? NTOC.

Cool. You can hack the hackers. You move up in the world.

Fresh brain to you, Trevor.

Trevor James, Interactive Operations department.

Ed Snowden. I have received the information.

NTOC sitting there. Defense. There you will be working.

Over there, we ROC, offensive.

I chefar both departments. We are professionals here so ..

You will be working with Haynes. Patrick Haynes.

Beware of him. He is the smartest place on this.

Come on .. How many languages can you again?

Seven coding language, six-spoke, two sign language.

I can be a bit of American Sign Language.

Cruelly!

Lovely. Another language I do not understand. See you later, Ed.

Wait

Anytime now ...

Light of Waziristan, gentlemen. What were we here?

The underside of the Reaper drone has a large bloody antenna.

The sniffing everything that sends a signal.

We fix geographical location. My friend Tasha on Air Force rains missiles.

Hey Trev, do you like the show? You know that.

We track, you are bombing. Who was it we tracked?

Not who, what. We track the enemy's mobile phones. Sometimes SIM.

Okay. So how do we know that the enemy still has a mobile phone?

We do not know. Clearly we know. JSOC and the CIA have people in the field.

What's the program?

Epic Shelter. There was a backup program from the beginning.

In the event of disaster. Yes how did you know?

I built it. I have been thinking of another way to use it.

What do you mean, for example?

I chatted with Jim Lowell .. The Deputy Director?

Yes. There are so many programs that they are difficult to keep track of.

So why not create a central database?

As a table of contents? Yes. Which is updated in real time.

Epic Shelter already collect intelligence.

We just need a web portal to catalog them.

Make them searchable. Let me think about it.

Regardless, we have to pull it through Fort Meade. Do you have any name suggestions?

If there is time, I would like to call it the heartbeat.

Heartbeat.

... Five, four, three, two, one.

Firing at the target.

Are you okay down there? Oh yeah.

This is why I think we should walk more.

You are right. Look at me.

Come on, it's several years ago.

With social media's standards are not even longer.

Only one. Smile. Show me your teeth!

My elusive E, finally caught.

I am a certified boyfriend now? Yes.

It's a shame, you who used to be one of those cute little model.

Small? I was a little ?! Wait!

Stop.

Oh my God. I think you got some color.

Seriously, it looks good. It is impossible.

I meant to ask you something. Have you changed the pharmacy?

Because I tried to pick up your medication.

But I could not. Why did you do it?

Because I was there and thought I was helping you.

I have stopped taking Tegretol.

What? When then? A few months ago.

And you say it only now? I wanted to say it, but I just ..

I can not take it there, it makes me groggy.

I need to be quick in the head, on the job. Continuously.

What is it with this f***ing job is more important than your life?

I do not understand. State.

State what?

State loses billions of dollars a year because of kineiska hackers.

I have been hired to stop them.

Lots of people depend on my job.

More dependent than any other?

And.

No, it .. That's bullshit.

We did not come here for you to be better, right?

This job would be less stressful.

It feels like I was born for this, and if I do not do it ..

I know no one else who can do it.

I'm on a course I can not deviate from.

You can always turn around.

I want you to give me a "yes" - or "no" answer.

NSA collects into any type of data at all about

millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?

No, sir. It does not?

Not intentionally.

There are cases where they might inadvertently can collect data,

but not intentionally.

Thanks. I have further questions in text form.

Okay, so I wanted to show you a picture that I found

while I built the indexing program.

And what is this? Data collected in the month of March.

Worldwide. Email and Skype calls. France. 70 million.

Germany. 500 million.

Brazil. Two billion.

Inside the US borders.

3.1 billion emails and calls. Excluding the telecom operators' data.

So how much we collected in Russia?

Russia is 1.5 billion.

Wait, so we collect twice as much in the US as in Russia?

It's crazy.

Have you shown this to anyone else? No, just you.

I had been very careful with it. It may seem like you're rocking the boat.

You are right. But I needed to know if I was the only

who thought this was crazy.

What the hell is going on? What are you doing here?

Nothing. I showed them the only thing that I needed help.

Why map? My fault, Trev.

We made a bet on which country we collected the most from.

He said Iran and Pakistan, I said.

Vem vann? Ed.

Need to go. See you.

Better luck next time. Okay.

No more bets. And I do not see anyone without permission here again.

Especially not with Heartbeat. You are right. Will not happen again.

Happy Birthday!

.. In Vegas and looked at Afghanistan, so we worked late.

Something blurred objects come wandering into the end zone.

We knew all of us that it was a child. Poof, gone.
