Hey, man,

how about some money, man?

Come on.

Brother, you got something for me?

Help a brother out.

On my way out.

Come on, man, give me some.

I'm dying in this heat.

You might want to take off that coat.

Where's Ahmad today?

What do you need?

I can get it for you.

This.

This?

Where's

the headache medicine?

Where's the rest?

Excuse me?

The total is 16-

I gave you 100 dollar bill.

No. You gave me a 20.

Right here.

This one.

Where's your uncle?

What is the trouble, my friend?

Your cashier is

either very bad at math

or a second-rate thief.

He is mistaken, I promise you!

What is the problem, my friend?

What do you need?

I gave him a 100 dollar

bill for a pack of gum

and what I got back is

3 bucks and some change.

Why would you pay for a pack of gum

with such a large bill?

Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?

Not about this.

We're honest merchants here.

Why you make problems for us?

What did we do to you?

Our security

cameras are not running.

What do you want me to do?

Tell him to empty his pockets.

F*** you, man.

, do it now.

Ahled, what is this?

It's mine.

AK50403409AK11 series, 1996.

How the f*** did you do that?

Pay attention.

Give him back his money now!

I'm so sorry, sir.

If there's anything you need,

you come see me, Rodger.

Please accept my sincerest

apologies for my nephew.

Sir, sir, your change.

Sir!

I've got 20 minutes.

Yes, sir.

Make this current.

Different players, different

complications, same objective.

Figure out how we get there.

What else?

NSA systems went down

6 minutes after CIA and FBI.

9 servers crashed within 12 minutes.

Between 4 to 500 personal

records, mostly CIA and FBI.

NSA computers are still down.

IP address is from an

internet cafe in Homburg,

a computer lab in Singapore,

or a hotel lobby in Islamabad,

all public computers, all within 2

blocks of radical Islamic.

Password authentication came

from a CIA issued laptop

currently in Kandahar.

But, the IP addresses,

they could have been

bounced via encryption software.

What do you have on the laptop?

Top secret security prints,

case officer, South Asia station.

Sniffer program lifted his login,

his password,.

Get everything you know

on this case officer;

what he's been working on,

agents he's been working with.

Get to the bottom of thing in 72 hours,

or bury it and come up

with a plausible story;

an international CS

students based in Europe,

radical Islamic leanings from

a country on our sh*t list,

you fill in the rest.

Draft a memo with

Harrison's signature on it.

Send it classified to all the agency heads

and make it clear that we've

retrieved all the files

and there are safeguards

in place to ensure

that nothing like this will happen again.

But if this turns out to be an attack,

we must be very clear,

no one fucks with the

United States of America!

I'll pull some people

from today.

Wait 10 minutes after I leave

and then exit through the south building.

, mother f***er.

Rise and shine.

To

another day in paradise.

Wake up,

you stupid mother f***er.

Who told you you could sh*t yourself?

You have to ask permission to

sh*t yourself, you dumb f***.

You stupid mother f***er!

Water. Please, water.

You want water?

You don't get no water.

You a

terrorist, mother f***er?

No, I'm an American! Help me!

Help you? Help you?

Sorry, sir. I'm gonna f*** you up!

Hey man,

you ever kill anybody?

I've done a few

at Black Hawk once,

but not like this.

You think he can hear us?

If he can,

he ain't gonna remember it tomorrow.

Did you upload

those East Asia maps yet?

DOD needs them on their

servers by this afternoon.

Just about.

Is this one ready?

Thank you.

Name.

Boyd, Tabitha.

Give me just a moment.

Thank you.

Ray.

I'll be out in just a minute.

Need any help finding anything?

Hi, nice to see you again.

How are you?

How have you been?

I'm fine. Thank you.

I was hoping I'd see you again.

I found that first edition Madame

Bovary you were looking for.

Over here.

It's unedited.

I pulled it for you.

I have a strange

affection for tragedy, I guess.

When all the kids in my

neighborhood were playing outside,

I was inside hoping for rain.

You never played in the rain?

No, not really.

In the library or book stores mostly.

Nothing like this.

These here are beautiful.

I could spend a whole week in here.

You're in good company.

This is where we

keep the first editions.

It's okay. Really,

don't worry about it.

I hid it over here

in the Russian section.

Someone must have re-shelved it.

Have you always

loved books so much?

I think so.

Is it family,

something back home?

Maybe.

My father wasn't around much,

but he'd always bring me

a book from his travels.

They kept me company.

What kind of books?

Classics, Russian usually.

He'd set them beside my bed.

This is how we'd communicate,

I'd read a book at night

and wait for the next one.

Tolstoy, Dostoevsky,.

Then one day my Dad stopped coming home

and all I had were these books.

I read and I re-read them.

I committed them to memory.

Just trying to find

some message, something

in order to explain why it

was so important to read them.

You know?

Why my father gave them to me,

why he never came home again.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry.

It's okay.

I spent my whole life cracking codes,

but I never cracked those.

Can you excuse me for a second?

I'll be right back.

Sure.

It'll be just a moment.

Is this everything?

Yes.

Hi, Roland.

Jeff's conferencing in a live

feed with Asia.

Can he call you back?

Hand him the phone.

He's conferencing

with Asia.

Put him on now!

These guys just don't quit.

Why are they sending me this sh*t?

Roland, can I call you back?

Now is not a good time.

What's with Cienna Capital?

These guys are showing up at my office,

sending FedEx's to my house.

What's going on?

I'm gonna be back in LA Wednesday.

Let's have lunch.

I'll give you all the details.

No, now, Jeffery.

What is going on?

What are you not telling me?

We're selling

everything, you, me, everybody,

movie, TV, cable, satellite, wireless,

all the telecom.

What does that mean?

Everything.

As in me, you're

getting rid of me?

All of it.

AE129 patents

are in my name, remember?

Legal can better explain

it to you than I can, frankly.

Now is not a good time.

I gotta keep moving on.

Don't do that!

This is a joke, right?

Tell me some fat f*** in a sumo suit

is going to jump out of my

trunk and say something funny,

because I am very close to going nuclear!

Calm down, Roland.

I'm gonna hang up if you don't -

Nobody is going to buy those boxes

with your chips in them, without me.

They're not done and the only blueprint

is in my head, so good

luck trying to unload

your pile of sand to

the Chinese without me!

Ford's already approved.

Goldman's on board, everybody makes out.

It's when.

Take a few years off,

go back

and count your money.

Count.

This can't be just about money, can it?
