Takedown Page #6

What do you think he'll do when

he hears a scrambled message?

You got a point.

Well, in an hour or two,

Gibson will be in front

of Federal Judge Dickson.

Despite the fact we don't know

which apartment, he'll okay it.

And with a warrant,

we can make the arrest.

It's 3:
00, and I'm hoping

we will have this wrapped up

by 10:
00 or 10:30.

That'd be nice.

I wouldn't drink

too much of that coffee.

At least we can

keep tabs on him.

Sh*t!

Modem.

I don't like when I hear that.

Why?

All he needs to do is upload the

files, cache them on the Net.

Last time he used Netcom.

Next time, who knows?

He uploads his files,

erases his hard drive,

and when the feds

knock on the door...

What?

Tomu, what?

Knock on the door.

Yeah?

The knock is the only

warning he needs.

He uploads his files

someplace else.

They just disappear, and only

he knows where they are.

No evidence.

That's our window.

We can get the files back.

We just have to be

in position by then.

- What are you doing here?

- I need a favor.

Anybody in Raleigh

have a cell-site simulator?

- What do you mean, to borrow?

- Yeah.

I know a guy who knows a guy,

but he's not exactly a member

of the Better Business Bureau,

you know?

Look, you did not

get this from me.

I do not want Kevin Mitnick

coming after me.

We'll respect your privacy.

Privacy?

Never heard of it.

- Gibson said what?

- They got the warrant.

- They go at 9:
30.

- Rollins said 10:00!

Then the hell with

what Rollins said!

Get your ass there.

We're running out of time.

They ain't gonna make it, man!

They ain't gonna make it!

Tomu, Tomu, Tomu.

So this is what you're chasing.

We've narrowed it down

to about four apartments

on the second floor

on this side,

and Special Agent

Mitch Gibson here

will be using the cellular

scanner to make the sweep.

Once he locks in, we move in.

They're on the second floor.

Almost there.

A couple more seconds.

Get Rollins.

I think they're there.

This is gonna be good.

Here comes Rollins.

Okay.

Who's there?

FBI! Open up!

Let's go, Mitnick!

Oh, Christ.

Yeah.

Time to share

your dirty tool, Tsutomu.

The world has a right to know.

Aprs moi...

... the deluge.

1, 2, 3. F***.

Can I help you?

Whoa! Hey! Hey!

You're under arrest.

In Raleigh, North Carolina,

the world's most-wanted

computer hacker...

Suspect Kevin Mitnick

was arrested early Wednesday

at an apartment in Raleigh.

Led the FBI on a chase

over two years...

Mitnick was tracked down

by computer-security expert

Tsutomu Shimomura...

Kevin Mitnick is accused

of cybertheft

of information worth more

than a million dollars...

And at the time of his arrest,

the FBI's most-wanted

computer criminal.

Kevin Mitnick

has become a symbol

of the insecurities

of the information age.

Kevin, thanks for

letting me visit.

I just wanted to get

a chance to meet you.

Sorry it had to be like this.

What happened to my...

The files.

What happened to them?

I had a cellphone

simulator in my car

outside your apartment.

When you thought you

were talking to Netcom,

you were talking to me.

I took the upload.

You were the machine.

Yes, I was.

Kevin, why do you do it?

The question's "how?"

The question's always "how?"

Let me ask you a question.

Okay.

Why am I in here and you're not?

No answer?

Why am I in here and you're not?

What did I do that was bad?

What did you do that was good?

I cracked that code.

What I did was wrong,

and I know that now.

And all that research,

I destroyed it.

That's very touching.

Glad you can sleep.

Do you want to know

why you're in here, Kevin?

I got this in the mail.

It's a bill from a company

that specializes in bondage

for $29, 450.

You're no victim.

I didn't do that.

But I know who did.

Yeah, it's just a game to you.

Yeah, sometimes.

Prey on people, take advantage?

Since when did you

respect anyone?

Guard.

Guard!

Oh, that's right.

You walk away.

You go home, motherf***er!

You motherf***er!

Now it's finally over.

You glad you went?

Glad? No.

He's in there because of me.

That can't be.

I just deposited a check.

This stupid machine

just ate my card.
