The Signal
Which one are you
going for, bud?
The white one?
With goggles?
Okay, I'm gonna show you
how to get there. Okay?
Okay, you're gonna follow
this line till it gets to...
Till it gets to
this circle, okay?
When it hits that circle,
you press the button.
Then you're gonna
follow this bottom line
until it gets to this circle.
Then you press the button,
okay? Got it?
Okay, you got any money?
Okay, well, here's $1.
Good luck.
Hey.
Nomad's back.
He's messing with us again.
What did he say?
"Your hack into MI servers was legit."
That was fast.
"Ta, ta, ta."
What is that?
"They put that sh*t on us.
"We almost got expelled."
"Vibes."
Who's this Vibes?
Okay, guy.
"We're going to
expose you at DEF CON,
"so you better
watch your back."
Dude, what is that?
What the...
Go into the building.
Get the Pwnie.
All right, let's do this.
Open up a Linux terminal and start an Nmap,
dude
Haley's gonna have
to drive tomorrow.
Hey, focus.
That's what I'm saying,
I won't be able to.
Technically
she's the one moving,
so technically
she should be driving.
Is it open yet?
In a sec.
Okay, I'm good.
Okay.
Okay, type something.
I'm trying to think
of something funny.
Damn.
"Do androids take
an electric sheet?"
You're stupid.
Okay, read me out the IPs
on the C&C servers.
"192. 236. 19. 147."
Start sniffing connections.
Copy that.
Firing up the listeners.
All right,
this guy's toast.
Nevada.
Dude, we're going
right through Nevada.
We got him.
We got him!
Are you guys being
serious right now?
Well, you're driving
in the morning,
so good night.
I'd like to see you make me,
you Caltech turncoat.
Haley, this fish tank's
leaking something.
It's water, Jonah.
It's gross.
Shut up.
You Caltech turncoats.
Dude, can you stop saying that?
Signal sucks out here.
You're right, it does suck.
Hey, you want one of these?
No, I'm good, thanks.
You want?
Dude.
What?
Check this out.
What the hell?
Why isn't that working?
Is that my car?
Yeah.
It's a traffic camera.
This guy is so gnarly.
How does he have
a picture of my car?
Hold on a sec.
Why would this guy go to all
the trouble to hack into MIT,
and then, you know,
just taunt us like this?
The same reason anyone does anything.
Acknowledgment.
"I'm better than you,
you're better than me," whatever.
Here, dude, I can't unlock it.
You try.
You guys should just
stop provoking him.
He's probably
just some little kid.
Nic, are we doing this or not?
I can't, dude.
What do you mean, you can't?
I just can't right now.
Look,
I get we have to take Haley to California.
But there's no reason
we shouldn't do this, too.
Nomad hacking into MIT is one thing,
but Haley's computer?
No, but it's crazy
not to go after this guy.
Jonah, what's the sales tax?
We're so close.
6.3.
It's on the way.
$14.74.
You can keep the change.
You guys want something?
Yeah.
Coffee?
Yeah, I'd love a coffee.
Black?
There you go.
Yeah, please.
What?
Has Nic said anything
to you about me moving?
No.
Nothing?
No, obviously he's bummed you're
gonna be gone for a year.
It just seems like
he's trying to
distance himself
from me, you know?
Look, you guys
are my best friends,
and I'm just...
I'm the wrongest guy to ask.
Yeah.
Oh, crap.
Hey.
You all right, bud?
I'm fine.
Yeah?
I'm fine, I'm fine.
I'm gonna get more coffees.
I'm gonna move the car.
Best friends!
Is this one mine?
Yeah.
I already put two in.
I got it.
Nic, I offer to help not
because I think you need it,
but because I know you don't.
Yeah, well, you won't have to
worry about that soon, will you?
Okay.
Thanks, bud.
We're not really that far from this guy,
are we?
180 miles, give or take.
All right, dude, let's do it.
Let's go.
Now, see, this is
You know, just determined,
ruthless, competitive.
Oh, and favors caffeine.
Where's Haley?
I don't know.
I think she walked, uh...
That way.
Haley, look, I'm sorry.
It's just, I've been distracted.
to make a big speech.
I think this whole trip is about
What are you talking about?
I'm not gonna make a speech.
Stop.
Haley, you know how many times
I've played this out in my head?
Twice-a-week
doctor's appointments.
Who knows how many
MRIs and tests.
Eventually a wheelchair.
All the time wondering if
you're gonna break up with me.
Stop. When you're gonna get
tired of this bullshit.
It's not fair to make me the
bad guy without my input.
Haley, that's not
what I'm saying.
I'm just saying I'm not gonna
be the guy who holds you back.
Cool. So, uh...
I move away for one year
and because you're scared
of what's gonna happen,
you immediately
resort to breaking up?
I'm just saying...
I'm just saying I need to
protect myself.
From what?
Is it your heart
talking or your head?
It's me talking.
But you're the one
that always told me
to run toward something
and not away from it.
Yeah, well, that was
before all this sh*t.
What are you doing?
You can keep your promises.
I don't want them.
Haley.
You just take a left up here.
Maybe we should
drop Haley off first.
Can you not talk about me
like I'm not in the car?
Haley, you don't
have to come along.
No, I wanna meet this a**hole.
Me, too.
Just keep going.
We still got, like, a quarter mile.
- Stop, stop, we passed it.
- What?
Yeah, back up.
Say, 20 or 30 feet.
Stop, stop.
- You serious?
It's right here.
It's right here.
Don't get us stuck.
Please, Nic.
We're fine.
It's over here.
You should kill the headlights.
Are you sure
you want to do this?
I'm not gonna lie.
This doesn't look right.
What do you think?
We're not gonna know
by sitting in the car.
Come on, let's go.
Get your camera.
Haley, stay in
and lock the doors, okay?
Nic.
You know all this
is stupid, right?
Where do you think
we went wrong?
What are you talking about?
You know, it must have been,
Like, they could be
in Georgia for all we know.
Like, Europe Georgia.
Shut up.
Or they could be
using this as a relay point.
A big mama sat in that chair.
I'm gonna have to say
there's nobody here, Nic.
Dude, Nomad is not here.
Let's take a look.
He's not here.
We'll take a look
and then we'll go.
Let's go find him.
This guy has a baby?
Shh!
Shh!
Jonah?
Jonah?
Jonah?
Dude, I can see you.
What are you doing?
Hey!
Dude,
you're such an a**hole!
How funny is this little chair?
It was really facing
the corner like this.
Come on.
There's a basement.
You're such a kike.
Go down.
Screw that, you go down.
Be careful.
What is this place?
Check it out, man.
What are those?
Server racks.
That's weird.
Oh, wait. Haley!
Haley! Haley! Haley!
Haley!
What the hell?
- What was that sound?
- I don't know.
Why are the car doors open like that?
