Stingray 6, this is Hawkeye. Live fire, exercise, green to go. Requesting permission to fire.
Permission to fire, granted.
That's a Roger Stingray 6. BFT, has you cleared.
Target is confirmed. You have authorization to fire. All in back.
Hawkeye is fired. And 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Hawkeye, this is Stingray 6. Confirm missile fired. Over.
Standby.
Hawkeye, we are getting on this fire alert.
Hawkeye, your drone is veering off course. Return to previous vector.
Briggs, what the hell's happening?
Target coordinates are shifting.
Mike, get out of there. I've now lost control of the drone.
Hawkeye, we have radar confirmation of missile fired. You can buy.
Mike, the missile's lying. Get out of there.
Mike!
So? So? I want to know. You want to gossip at my expense.
Come on, how'd it go last night? Date number 2. It didn't. Cancelled. He cancelled? I cancelled.
It wouldn't have ended well. It's pretty much over.
I thought the first date went great.
Look, you guys, I am the best first date girl in town. I mean, I bring my A game.
Funny, flirty, charming, spontaneous, tasteful.
Like me.
And the second?
Second date, antsy, bored, distant, impatient, irritable.
Like G.
I decided to save everybody some trouble, end it early, and, uh, embrace my skill set.
The first date's the last date.
Absolutely.
Few men know how to deal with a smart, strong, independent woman.
They say they want a soulmate to share their dreams and their hopes with,
but all they really want is a substitute mommy.
Okay, as a professional psychologist, I have to complete this.
Hey, sit down.
Okay, well, I'm gonna sit.
Missing briefing?
Sexual harassment guidelines.
There's a seminar next week, and it is mandatory even for you, Mr. Callan.
George Hamilton once told me that what men really love is a woman who plays hard to get.
Or was it Sinatra?
Saved by the whistle.
Yeah.
All right, footage from Camp Pendleton, tagged classified.
How old is this?
Approximately 24 hours.
What are we looking at exactly?
The battlefield through the eyes of an unmanned aerial vehicle,
commonly referred to as a UAV.
Future of warfare.
Field operatives in Pakistan calling a target to a pilot sitting behind a joystick in California.
The pilot hits a button, rains missiles down on the bad guys.
Like a video game, but real.
This feed is from a live-fire training exercise at Pendleton.
Marine unit was working in tandem with the drone.
This one happened to be armed with two Hellfire missiles.
Who changed the target coordinate?
Still trying to figure that out.
Here comes the feed from the missile's warhead camera.
The Marine was killed.
Run it back.
There.
Sergeant Michael Haslett.
Specialized in coordinating UAVs with the ground teams.
Married, three kids.
Who is flying the drone?
Air Force Captain Mark Holden Briggs says he didn't miss fire.
Drone fired itself.
I think we need to take a look at that drone.
Good luck with that.
Disappeared from radar.
Crashed.
They can't find it.
So what killed Sergeant Haslett?
Theory one, pilot error.
Theory two, system malfunction.
Theory three, sabotage.
There was a joint-off between the Marine Corps and the Air Force.
Security clearance could narrow those choices.
The Air Force doesn't want us going through their dirty laundry.
Larger never requests me these 50 pages of fine print in a day's wait.
We're sitting on our hands while the trail runs cold.
Be a rocker.
It's all about who you know.
We know anyone?
We know people.
The kind of people who know people.
Heady and Frank Sinatra.
Don't go there.
He told the men like women who play hard to get.
Sam?
Would suggest that Heady was playing hard to get with Frank Sinatra.
I told you not to go there.
Yeah, you did.
Old Blue Eyes is Heady.
I guess Heady did it her way.
Here he comes.
What agency is this guy with?
CIA, NSA, DOD.
Some say he's a black ops handler for all three.
But he's our guy.
He's not our guy.
He's Heady's guy.
Gentlemen, this conversation never happened.
You have 60 seconds.
How secure are these UAVs?
Well hackers are testing the USAF security protocols constantly.
Well the past month we had four experimental UAVs breached domestically.
This has happened before?
Well every other time it happened the drones crashed within 10 seconds.
Practice runs.
Hackers are trying to see if they can get the hang of it.
Your time is up.
Tell Heady, I haven't forgotten about the paul.
As far as I'm concerned, we're even now.
Didn't seem like 60 seconds to me.
Bad cologne.
A copy of the UAVs video feed just popped up on SphereGuide.com.
Which is?
Like YouTube for hackers.
Can you trace the IP address?
The poster's signal was bounced off six different servers.
He doesn't want to be found, but I'll get him.
Rewind it.
This is the feed from the drone's camera.
Looks like it landed in the desert somewhere.
Based on its last coordinates, it's gotta be local.
So there was no crash.
How many health art missiles were on the drone?
Two.
It fired one.
And here comes our man.
What do you want to?
You powered it down.
Must have loaded the drone in the back of the truck.
Who was this guy?
A proud new owner of a health art missile.
And he's somewhere in LA.
I started a facial recognition search on the driver.
Well, there's no plates on the truck.
How are we going to trace him?
Kaleidoscope.
The R&D guys over at China Lake develop the algorithm.
What is it?
It's the Naval Weapon Center's brand new visual query system.
You feed it the description of a person, place, or thing.
Scans, live feeds from traffic cams,
ATM cams, and satellite images for a result.
You gotta be kidding me.
I kid you not.
All right, search terms, blue 18-wheel semi,
and Middle Eastern man in his 20s behind the wheel.
Well, what if he isn't mobile anymore?
Then we wait.
We'll have to move the drone eventually.
We'll have to stop him from flying it out of the country.
UAV's transponder automatically activates on takeoff.
Once it's online, we can track it, so he's not going to risk it.
My guess is if we see it airborne again,
we'll probably be in targeting mode.
Every government and terrorist group in the Middle East
wants a piece of that technology.
They have no problem finding a buyer.
Eric, alert homeland security.
We can't let this guy get it out of the country.
How fast can we get that footage off the web?
With or without the cooperation of sphereguide.com's legal department.
Okay, cutting through legal tape.
I just crashed their entire server.
Uh-oh.
Sam, I think we're doing the boathouse.
Walking.
Eric did it.
Hey, Eddie.
I was watching that viral video with the cats and the trampoline,
and the site just froze up and crashed on me.
Did you have anything to do with that?
I don't know.
Who have anything to do with that?
Gentlemen, our tale of the tape.
Captain Mark Holden Briggs, 32 years old,
earned valedictorian honors from the Air Force Academy
and graduated with the top 1% of his class at USAF weapons school.
Smart guy.
Also has a narcissist egocentric disorder.
Type of person who believes the world revolves around him.
If he's guilty, he'll have what he believes to be perfectly good reasons for his actions.
Joystick jacket with an attitude.
Antagonizing him is not a way to break through him.
Do I look like an antagonist, Nate?
This is by no means an admission of guilt,
but I want my Jag lawyer present.
Maybe he'll get here eventually, but traffic's a bitch today.
Mike Haslett.
Mike Haslett was a good man.
A friend.
I knew his wife and his kids.
Friends don't always get alone.
Check the paperwork.
We ran a full diagnostic.
There was no system failure.
I did not misfire.
It's all documented.
Then what happened?
A hacker got into the system.
It's experimental.
It's flawed, and I knew it.
Mike knew it.
Maybe he made a mistake.
Maybe that mistake led a hacker in the system.
I don't program. I fly him.
And I don't make mistakes.
Maybe you got paid to fly someone off the grid.
I hate it.
You think I sold out?
I should be flying F-22s over Afghanistan right now,
but I'm stuck in Riverside,
rotting away in a steel box next to joystick jockeys
raised on energy drinks and video games.
What happened yesterday was inevitable.
Drones can get hacked.
Fighter pilots can't.
And now America's about to find that out the hard way.
Everything that came out of Briggs' mouth
could be considered motive,
but his body language is indicating something else entirely.
Which is?
Well, he's frustrated and angry,
but Briggs is not our guy.
What do you got, Eric?
A hit.
Kaleidoscope?
No, that's still looking.
We got a lead on our hacker.
We got the attack footage from the Rothmore tech campus,
more specifically the science auditorium at 10.23 a.m. today.
You got a name?
We got 67 names.
So many students were logged on to the wireless hub at the time.
All of them taking a day-long class in advanced computer science.
They are on lunch break now.
They reconvene in about 90 minutes.
They're scheduled to have a guest speaker,
a reformed hacker who now works for the FBI.
What is the good news?
Well, the only people that can put an actual face
and name work for the bureau.
So we can improvise.
Eric, find out who posted that video of the drone landing.
Oh, brah!
Excuse me?
It's a server thing.
It's a server thing?
Yeah, as in a spontaneous expression of ecstasy,
the could accompany the perfect swell.
You know, the kind that just crests like that.
Eric, you're just riding in it.
You can hang up now.
Wait, facial recognition.
I'm going to be database.
New SIFT Colleen.
No criminal record.
Home address in Venice, California.
You went soft on him.
Briggs.
Man, I know you're not going to go here with me right now.
We're in the middle of chasing our only lead on our only suspect.
You know your ears wiggle when you try to avoid a conversation?
It's kind of adorable.
Huh.
Okay.
For years I dreamed of being a seal.
I gave up everything else to get there.
Everything.
If I saw the finish line and found out that the Navy
was going to bump me somewhere else,
I'd be angry too.
Now my ears don't wiggle.
So what did we just do?
A couple of salesmen who got lost.
Maybe some guys looking for old college friends.
How about we're two armed federal agents
trying to apprehend a terrorist?
Oh, yeah.
Do it.
Clear.
An aloe will rain the fire of the just,
done on Zion and America,
the two satans crushing the infidels.
Just needs a little ray, Evie.
Islamic discussion boards 24-7.
Get your hand out of the bag.
This is not the way of Allah.
What do you know about Allah?
Kalim.
Salati.
What deity?
Wahayati.
Wa-mouti.
Il Allah.
Rabb al-alameen.
You call the Quran an arbi,
but you still do the work of infidels.
We just want to talk.
Nobody ever wanted to talk to me.
We do, all right?
We just want to talk.
I promise you.
Put this out, you damn.
Allah, I'll rock you.
Run!
What happened?
Kalim's dead.
How?
Shot.
Blowin' up.
You guys are thorough.
Yeah, what are we doing now?
We focus on the hacker who posted the UAV footage.
This is our blood, Mr. Hannah.
Mostly.
Yours?
Other guys.
Can we bill him?
Not any more.
No.
Can we bill him?
Not any more.
You wouldn't happen to have a fresh pair of pants
I could borrow with you.
Sure.
What happened in Nepal?
Excuse me.
I told you to never mention the apology.
Crazy.
I bet you didn't involve Sherpas.
Sherpas?
Razor Mantis?
As in the sexually carnivorous insect?
As in the one that has a mating ritual
which begins with the female biting off the male's head?
Come on, babe.
This is what I get for opening up to you about my dating life.
The real Razor Mantis was supposed to speak at the Rothmore Tech class
and were improvising.
All right, fine.
So what's my background?
FBI arrested you for stealing files from the Department of Defense
and you cut a deal to avoid jail time
in exchange for teaching classes about the perils of cyber crime.
What if one of the students checks up on my story?
Consider yourself backstopped.
As far as the legal system is concerned,
you are the Razor Mantis.
Many of the students are hackers themselves.
Now, they've heard of you, but they don't know what you look like.
Hackers are feisty, so they might try to challenge your authority.
Which is what we want?
That's right.
You ought to elicit a response,
and I suspect hubris will be his downfall.
In terms of your computer skills,
you might be a little out of your league with these Rothmore Tech kids.
Oh, please.
I have proficient season IPsec architecture at Kerberos
and Pluto Plus with the FBI.
These kids are invented, that stuff, so...
These guys have spent more time with their World of Warcraft avatars
than real women who aren't called mom.
Ah, just in case.
Great, because there's nothing I love more
than falling back on my sexuality to get the job done.
Oh, and those shoes are crocodile stilettos.
You scuff them, tear them, lose them.
And I'll end you.
Tutsi.
Check Doc Colleen's house.
Found a weapon stash.
Two handguns, a semi-automatic rifle, and three more grenades.
Nate says he's more of a follower than a leader.
What else?
He used to work for a tech company.
Agent Concept Solutions.
He was started up just over a year ago by a man named Arthur Janssen.
I'm gonna need to meet him.
I'll track him down for you.
Oh, Jesus.
These jeans are too tight.
So you're not the men's in Nepal?
Okay, everyone, take your seats, please.
As you might have heard from Dr. Noor,
I'm going to be your guest lecturer for this afternoon's session.
When I was arrested by the FBI,
I was known as the Razor Mantis.
For eight years, I specialized...
Once they've logged on, you can scan their hard drives?
Yeah, I'll just be throwing them out.
Additional data on the touchscreen?
They'll be picking out anyone who's suspicious.
That'll be most of them.
And we're off.
Predictably, each student just ran a search for the Razor Mantis.
Check this out.
Today, we'll be discussing the overlap
of our domestic cyber crime community with terrorism abroad.
Question.
Do you think the slave-generated data bots
out of Silicon Valley are vulnerable to Sigma-7 overrides?
That is an excellent question.
They could be two answers.
Hold on, hold on. There could be two answers to that question.
Seven overrides.
There could be two answers to that question.
Yeah, no kidding. That's why I asked you the opinion.
What he's asking makes no sense.
That's because it's a trick question.
Sigma-7 overrides their incompatible
with slave-generated data bots,
because those bots can't exist on single-tuned harmonic filters.
Those data bots can't exist on a single-tuned harmonic filter.
Anyone else want to try and stumble over
with a trick question?
All right, 50 hard drives scanned and downloaded.
We're almost there.
What's the difference between string system code
and MV06 languages?
Oh, really? You want to go there?
And MV06 languages.
Kenzie, ignore him.
Just look down at your laptop and hit some keys.
Now tell him that you'll answer
once the guy who was left stops messaging him
about your bra size.
I will consider answering your question
once the guy who was left stops I amming you about my bra size.
Okay, okay, this is what we want.
If you guys are getting paranoid and logging off the network.
That's what you call listening to reaction.
I'm sending you their names and search results.
Oh, okay, we got an outlier.
Joel Hardy on financial aid, low-income family,
but has made some big purchases recently.
2009, Ducati.
See a trip to Vegas.
And...
$20,000 in computer hardware.
This could be our hacker.
To your left, 7th row up, end seat.
Mr. Fidgeting.
Does he want to make eye contact?
Yeah, he's hiding something.
Trying to play cool.
All right, Kenzie, here comes your excuse to follow him.
Excuse me, I have to take this call.
Let's take a 10-minute break.
Someone higher up financed his spending spree.
He can lead us there.
Eric, tell me about this guy.
Old parking tickets, bad habits,
friends, taste of music, anything.
He shut down his laptop before I could mind anything relevant.
Gotta go in cold.
Just like it's the first date.
Hey.
Hi.
Do you have a minute?
No.
I'm just checking up your lecture.
Shouldn't you be staying to hear it?
I got a thing.
A thing?
Yeah, somewhere to be.
Oh, I see.
Okay, well, I'm sorry I bothered you.
Have fun at your thing.
Wait!
What's she doing?
She's playing hard to get.
Hey!
What do you want to ask me?
I'm, uh, stuck in town for the night.
Bomber?
Do you know where I could get a drink?
Or five?
Nice. You won't count any.
I go.
Arthur Jansen?
Ah, you must be the gentleman my secretary mentioned.
What can I do for you?
Most of Kaleem is dead.
He was your employee.
You mind telling us about him?
I'm afraid I don't know that much.
No?
He worked here for over a year.
Kaleem was a business associate.
You gonna rush, Mr. Jansen?
I don't get close to people on the job.
No.
Trust me. You open that door up,
you're asking for a needy, whiny slacker of a colleague.
I know exactly what you mean.
Any details will help.
I hired Kaleem because he was skilled at writing computer code.
I'm gonna think of it.
Lately he's been spouting off about politics and religion on the job.
Real crazy.
Venomous, anti-American stuff.
Why didn't you just fire him?
The Equal Opportunity Act makes it illegal for me to fire him
based on his religious views.
I was amused that he hated the country
that kept him gainfully employed.
That's one of my big complaints
with the Mujahideen.
No sense of irony.
Unfortunately, the same could be said for my clients.
Excuse me?
I don't want.
I'm not needy, and I don't slack.
Two out of three ain't bad.
Any luck with the semi?
I'm finding the drone?
No kaleidoscopes to looking.
I bet you the kind of guy who thinks the pressing
the elevator button over and over again
makes it get there more quickly, aren't you?
Yeah.
I like the way you party.
It's only money, right?
Mm-hmm.
You very clearly know how to spend it.
Unless you say I know the right people,
then leave it at that.
The right people. I know all about them.
I've done favors for half of Silicon Valley.
The other half, pays me for protection.
You dig that.
Running network protection schemes on yuppies,
chasing stock options.
Well, it beats working for a living, doesn't it?
Call it money.
Don't call it living.
Then what's living to a guy like you?
Bypassing military grade quantum cryptography.
And?
You guys got to save something for a second date, right?
Mm-hmm.
I'll be back.
All right.
Down, keep an eye on him.
You look like a man on a mission.
Maybe later.
Aw.
Yeah, pretty good.
Damn, everything okay in there?
Down be there?
Down?
This is security camp footage Eric pulled from the bar.
Joel Hardy walked in that bathroom less than 30 seconds ago.
Rewind it.
Now, hold on to that guy that comes out just after Dom goes in.
I'll walk it right past him.
Don't let it bother you, Dom.
There's no way you could have known who he was.
Now, all the bad news is, our only lead in this case is dead.
Good news is, you're off the hook for date number two.
Sure.
Up on the Kenzie abuse train and while there's still Rome on board.
There, that's him.
Run him through the facial recognition.
You're not responsible for this, Dom.
You did your job.
And when doing my job isn't enough?
Come and see me when we talk about it.
Thanks.
I'm going to go back to work now.
Thanks, Rose.
Okay.
Let me know if anyone does.
Oh, I will.
I'll tell Nate, you say hi.
Yeah, he has a thing about coroners.
News?
No. No one has claimed Claims Body yet.
Or what's left of it?
Extremist views tend to estrange one from once friends and family.
I'm not sure.
I don't know.
I don't want friends and family.
I hope the 72 Virgins were worth it.
How's the team holding up?
Two bodies in one day.
That's a lot for anyone to handle.
It's to be expected.
It's when they stop being affected that I begin to worry.
Well, they've got a ways to go before they get to that point.
That's good to know.
Wake up, sweetheart.
Found this in Joe Hardy's apartment.
Good enough to fly UAV dumb?
With the right software and up links, yeah.
It needs to be hooked up to the computer, huh?
It's whatever. He's trying to crack the encryption.
Let's look at connections.
Starting with you, Seth Colleen.
Okay. Colleen was the perfect fall guy.
Anti-American views, strong religious beliefs,
and weak enough for someone to convince him to take on the high-risk work
of snatching the UAV from his landing site.
Joe Hardy.
Whiz kid who could beat the Air Force at their own game,
but he was immature.
He was money carelessly. He did drugs,
and he was reckless enough to post the UAV footage online.
He's just probably what got him killed.
Which means he's not the ringleader.
Captain Briggs, our pilot. Wildcat on the deck.
Well, he's got an axe to grind with the drone program
and the brain to pull off a conspiracy like this,
but he's not acting like a guilty man.
Ho, rock, score!
What was that?
It was Eric who caught a break.
I just breached Joel Hardy's laptop,
level 7 knock-fault software with the triple encryption code.
I found a program that would enable the user
to penetrate the kind of quantum encryption
used by the Air Force.
Joel sent it to AJ Concept Solutions.
We got a hit?
Hamzi Khan in Afghani, former beat cop in Kabul, retired in 03.
Not the first guy I'd hired for a hit in LA.
His wife died in Afghanistan in 2007.
Rivka Khan, she was the victim of a UAV attack.
The missile blew up the school where she was a teacher.
She and eight children were killed.
Pulling up her photo now.
Huh.
Well, she's not an ethnic Afghani.
Rivka is Arabic for Rebecca.
Jansen has a sister named Rebecca.
So a predator killed Jansen's sister,
who happens to be married to Khan.
And now they want to give America a taste of drone warfare.
Yeah, Eric?
Thanks.
Kaleidoscope just picked up a 18-wheeler.
Pulled out of a warehouse downtown.
He's headed south.
His route lines up at the Port of LA.
Get out of the truck!
Get out!
Look out!
Oh, it's a truck!
Get out of the right there!
Spread him out!
I just need this truck dropped off at the port.
Don't move.
This guy?
Yeah. Yeah, that's him.
He's the one who got the truck.
Yeah. Yeah, that's him.
Face down.
We've been hit.
Yeah.
Callan, we've got a situation here.
Jansen wasn't trying to move the drone out of the country.
He wanted an airborne.
Transponder just went online.
Where's it headed?
It's circling Los Angeles.
I tap into the LAX air traffic control system,
and it shows an unidentified aircraft
circling Marina del Rey at 10,000 feet.
What are our options?
We could crash the Air Force's satellite drone server.
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.
Every UAV around the world would go haywire.
Dozens of surveillance missions would be compromised.
None of which is as important
as preventing a terrorist attack on American soil.
All right.
It's not gonna work.
Jansen insults his own server overrides.
He knows what he's doing.
Bypassing them will take hours.
And how long would it take to scramble an F-22 out of Edwards?
Including flight time.
20 minutes tops.
That's too long.
Eric, find Jansen.
I told you guys everything I know.
Your UAV is airborne.
Where?
Up there. Somewhere circling.
We think the guy who hijacked it is gonna use it.
Nobody listened to me.
You see?
You see what happens when you replace men with computer systems.
Eric triangulated the UAV's signal to this location.
Jansen's gotta be around here somewhere.
Joystick.
Throttle.
This was used to get control of your UAV.
We're gonna hack into the system.
And get it back.
I watched a friend die.
I couldn't help him.
I can't do that again.
Last night...
I watched a kid bleed out on the floor of a bathroom.
Because I couldn't get there in time to save him.
There's nothing I can do to fix that.
I don't get a second chance.
But you do.
Sometimes our best isn't good enough.
True.
But that's no reason to give anything less.
All right.
I've gone to Jansen's networked firewall.
I just need to bypass...
Sam, I'm in.
I've got his targeting information.
Holy crap.
William F. Cooley High School.
Ever get that school evacuated now?
Calling LAPD.
Not fast enough.
Got it.
Not commencing with fast enough.
I need specifics, Eric.
Anything that might give Jansen away.
All right, if he's controlling the drone,
he's gonna need a satellite dish or antenna array.
Sam, I found it.
Where?
Jansen is on a yacht called Rebecca.
Let's go.
Dr. Slip number 15.
Wow.
How you doing?
Unbelievable.
Is this a lung galley?
This is a private vessel.
What do you think this is?
35 meters?
Maybe 40?
You know, I bet you this is actually a private vessel.
It's a private vessel.
What do you think this is?
35 meters?
Maybe 40?
You know, I bet you this is actually 40.
Composite hull?
This is unbelievable.
Get back.
It's beautiful.
Kenzie, hostile down.
Slip 15.
I'm on the way.
This is a long shot.
This gear is all sorts of bugs.
Isn't working.
It's not responding.
I'm out of time.
I can't hack the drone.
If you can't hack the drone,
can you hack the missile instead?
Don't do it.
You're too late.
Come on.
I got it.
You guys got to play as you want to ditch this missile.
I believe we do.
Come on.
Hey.
Thanks.
Good night, Eddie.
That Nepal story was crazy.
You told Sam?
Ha!
She didn't really tell you, did she?
Sorry, geez.
Classified.
Oh!
Chinese takeout and a glass of red wine
never looked so good.
I thought you had a deal with that guy tonight.
The one who...
Oh.
Kenzie.
Hey, Kenzie.
Did he stop there?
Yeah, he's here.
It's Nate.
Still want to talk to him?
I'm good.
He's good.
Hey.
Woo!
