No Postage Necessary (2017) - full transcript
Sam, a brilliant computer hacker seeking a better life, always seems to make the wrong choices, even under the watchful eye of his probation officer, Harry. Now, barred from using the Internet and stuck working fast food with his best friend and fellow hacker, Stanley, Sam poses as a Postal Worker, stealing people's mail to make ends meet. Until one letter changes everything. Written by the beautiful Josie to her dead husband, a Marine killed in Afghanistan, the heart-wrenching missive wakes something in Sam. Desperate to become worthy of such love, he begins following Josie and stealing more letters, until finally finding the courage to introduce himself. As Sam and Josie grow closer, she warms to the possibility of a new life as he's reminded of the values left behind in childhood. But fate shows its hand when Sam's past catches up with him in the form of an aggressive FBI agent and missing Bitcoins. When Josie discovers the truth, she must decide if the betrayal will force her back into her shell or give her the strength to follow her once-forgotten dreams, while Sam must choose whether to, yet again, be victimized by the mistakes of his past or finally stand up and become the man he's always intended to be.
Cyberthreats...
Have become one of the most
serious threats to our nation.
The cyber challenges
we're talking about
are not theoretical.
Hackers can shut down
our electric grid...
Telecommunications...
Our money, our secrets.
This is something real.
We're already under attack.
Sony pictures...
Target comes to mind.
Sooner or later,
the U.S. will take action.
We will respond.
The FBI hopes to graduate
hundreds of new cyber agents.
We still have a hard time
finding the right people.
The bureau's having trouble
finding enough
qualified personnel.
The current threat outpaces
our existing authorities.
Terrorists...
Foreign governments...
Criminals...
Hacktivists...
The massive distributed
denial of service attack.
A new form of warfare.
Cyber attacks are
only going to get worse.
The cyber threat
is threat number one.
And in local news,
a hillsborough county man
has been sentenced
to three years in prison
for hacking into a multinational
agricultural company
and posting online
the home addresses
and social security numbers
of its board of directors.
Seriously?
Have you remained
in the same residence
since our last meeting?
Yes, sir, still at my brother's.
Have you maintained
gainful full-time employment?
Yes, sir,
I'm dutifully employed
in the land of minimum wage.
In lieu of paying restitution,
you've opted to perform
community service.
Have you complied
with the court order
for the required
number of hours?
Yes, sir, nothing gives me
more pleasure than seeing
those little rug rats smile.
Have you
knowingly violated any law
at the municipal, county,
state or federal level?
I'm as honest as a politician
during election season.
Answer the question, yes or no.
No, sir,
I haven't violated any laws...
That I'm specifically aware of.
Finally, have you
operated any devices
connected to the Internet,
including a computer,
phone, tablet or television?
No, sir. I haven't.
I'm telling you,
give me one chance,
and I'd hack those terrorist
cells so fast,
they'd think I was
in the next room.
You think our government's
doing anything about it?
No. They rely on outside
groups like anonymous
to do their dirty work.
To pass them information.
And then, they lock up kids
who were just having fun,
when it's those kids
they should be hiring.
Doesn't that make you mad?
Fools give full vent
to their rage.
The wise bring calm in the end.
For christs' sake, Stan...
And once again, please,
my name is David now.
You know... David,
changing your name doesn't
mean you get to start over.
This isn't halo,
you can't just respawn.
You know, I'm willing
to accept my faults
and set a path to correct them.
But like a talisman,
my name serves
as the key
to the spiritual mindset
that I'm trying to achieve.
Doesn't alcohol
do the same thing?
You should come to Bible
study with us sometime.
All the answers are in here.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
we have customers.
State-sponsored
cyberterrorism, though,
isn't that the FBI's
worst nightmare?
Yes, if a rogue terrorist
were to perpetrate a hack,
it would be the worst nightmare.
Yes.
You forget something?
I found this,
stuck between my seats.
Wait right there,
I have something for ya.
Hi there, Jack.
Hello.
Beautiful weather we're having.
Are you kiddin' me?
It's hotter than hell out here.
Oh, you know us Southern
ladies never sweat.
You came early today.
Efficiency's my middle name.
Early isn't efficient,
it's just early.
You got that letter for me?
Right.
You okay there, son?
Mm-hmm.
"Happy birthday, Tommy.
"We remember when you were
just a little boy
and now you're ten."
Blah, blah, blah.
"Love you very much.
Love grammy and granddad."
Thank you, grammy.
Mwah.
Adam... from Barb.
Whoa. Nice to meet you.
Stay right there.
How generous of you.
"Dear Adam, I've never done
anything like this before."
Really?
"I'm a little embarrassed
"but you make me feel
so comfortable.
"I can't tell you enough
how much your encouragement
"has brought me
out of a very dark place.
"I don't know what's
more impressive,
"that I'm wearing lingerie,
"or that I figured out
the camera timer."
Well done.
What's up with the getup?
I thought you were at work?
Called in sick.
"Dear, Michael.
"Tomorrow will be six years
since you left us.
"2,190 days since
they told me you were gone."
That's 2,190 nights dreaming
the same beautiful dream
of you next to me.
And then the same
horrible nightmare
where you float away...
Dissolving into darkness.
Leaving only that moment
when the doorbell rang.
I forgive the soldier.
I'm still angry with god.
Daisy looks
more like you every day.
She has your cute stubbornness
and your intellect, too.
But she struggles
connecting with others.
I just don't know what to do.
I sent her application
fo that school
for the gifted in Nashville.
It's a long shot,
and it's expensive.
Too expensive.
But I think you'd at least want
me to try, wouldn't you?
I miss our mornings together.
The dawning of each new day
bringing endless possibilities.
Days filled with love.
Nights filled with laughter.
A life full of dreams.
But that song has been sung.
The Harmony's gone.
Dad thinks it's time to move on.
That rhetoric is
a poor substitute for action.
Doesn't he realize my prince
charming is never coming back?
Be right there.
Agent ames.
Sam. May I come in?
Do I have a choice?
You always have a choice.
Some choices are just
better than others.
So, what brings you to
this side of the tracks?
Ever hear of the spice trail?
Oh, the indo-European
trade route?
Yeah, we learn
about it in school...
That's funny, that's very funny,
but I'm referring to
the online drug marketplace.
Oh, that spice trail.
Well, you really should
have been more clear.
We infiltrated it a few years
back, and we were hacked.
Over 1,000 bitcoin was stolen.
We've only just now
caught up with the trail.
Great. Congratulations.
However, we're at a dead end.
The trail vanishes.
You think that's funny?
It's just, I don't recall you
reaching a dead end with...
With me.
I'm sure whoever you're after
is using an encrypted Tor server
just like I did.
Yet you were somehow magically
able to find my ip address.
So, I'm just wondering,
why you don't break the law
to find them as well?
Sam, the thing is,
we know the ip address.
It was routed through the same
data center you used.
Well, thanks to you,
I'm prohibited
from using the Internet.
So, unfortunately,
there's no way I can help you.
Actually, we think you can.
Nobody leaves a calling card
quite like you, Sam.
That's over $10 million
worth of bitcoin, gone.
Which would make
you a very rich man.
Look, I have no idea
who stole your coins or how,
that wasn't my game.
If you were willing
to break into monsanto...
Come on, that was for the people
subjected to their
genetically-modified crap.
That is a far cry from stealing
assets, even in the real world.
Sam.
Do you have the coins?
No. I don't have them.
Thank you for your time.
Should have visited me
in prison.
I've missed our little
conversations.
There's always next time.
If you were to die today,
how sure are you that
you'll be going to heaven?
Well,
if god's willing to overlook
that drunken one-night stand
from last week,
I'd say I've got a 50-50 chance.
You've got to be kidding me?
What is it?
Trying to cash out of
this stupid poker game
but it's saying
all I get is 1.2 dollars,
which is a bunch of crap,
I just took the pot.
Well, let me see that for a sec.
Oh, no, it's not 1.2 dollars,
it's 1.2 bitcoin.
Those sneaky bastards!
I gave them my credit card.
No, it's still real money.
It's just...
It's a digital currency
based on a perceived value
created by a group of people
who engage in trade,
just like the dollar.
Why are you such a dork?
So, how do I get my money?
In dollars.
It's easy, you just...
You just cash out
and then convert the dollars
on an exchange.
I can do it for you.
Stanley?
Hi, Rachel.
We need to talk.
Is everything okay?
What's going on?
You hacked the spice trail?
Jesus Christ, Stan.
Please don't take
the lord's name in vain.
How could you?
It was a few years ago.
A few years...
That isn't what we were into.
It wasn't corporate.
We agreed to stay corporate.
Why would you hack into
a drug marketplace?
You went rogue on me.
I've already been to prison
once, I'm not going back again.
Why?
'Cause they're bad people.
They sell drugs to kids.
They sold drugs to my sister.
They killed her, Sam.
I... I can't cover
for you this time.
You don't have to, dude.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Tell that to agent ames,
he stopped by this afternoon.
What?
So, where are the bitcoins?
I lost them.
They're gone.
Gone?
Why is he talking
to you about this?
Check your wallet.
Karate cat was hangry.
I'll go talk to him.
No. I'll take care of it.
He can't prove anything.
After you, m'lady.
Watch your step.
Oh, hey there, little bro.
Meet Nancy.
Nancy, this is dipshit.
This is your brother?
Mmm.
Why don't you come
party with us tonight?
It'll be fun.
Oh, baby, come on,
you know I'm just playing.
Baby?
Babe.
Come on, you know I love you.
Babe?
Baby?
Come on, baby.
Are you ready for a good day
at school today?
Hi. I'm Sam.
I like long walks on the beach
and candlelit dinners.
Oh, yeah, I'm also
a convicted felon.
Recently released from prison,
who stole your letter
and staked out your house.
Yeah, I know, and you were
expecting prince charming.
J other girls
j just won't say
ji know...
This is so wrong.
I don't even have
a driver's license, dude.
Just drive in a straight
line and slam on the brakes.
I'll pretend you hit me.
It'll be fine.
That's her.
Oh, she's very pretty.
What? She is.
Remember. Just like we planned.
J been around the world
I've seen
j enough crying out
from a girl for me
J baby I'm here
all right.
Oh, shit!
Whoa, watch out!
Shit.
Are you okay?
Can you hear me?
Are you hurt?
Hi.
Come on. Let's get you up.
Come on, that's it.
The guy just
came out of nowhere.
Hey!
Hey!
Honestly, it's fine. Wait...
Hey!
Get back here!
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Little...
Light-headed.
Okay, let's get you inside.
Thank you.
That's it. Over here.
Sit down.
Oh, my goodness, your hand.
Does it hurt?
I hadn't even noticed.
It was very brave of you.
Thank you.
Are you okay?
I'll tell you what,
here is my name and number.
If you start to feel worse
or get a headache, or just
wanna lawyer up
and need a witness,
call me.
Hi, Josie. I'm Sam.
Hi, Sam.
You sure you're okay?
Better now.
Okay.
Have you remained
in the same residence
since our last meeting?
Yes, sir. Still living
with my deadbeat brother.
Have you maintained
gainful full-time employment?
Yep. I'm still stuck in reverse.
In lieu of paying restitution,
you've opted to perform
community service,
have you complied
with the court order
for the required
number of hours?
Tell me, sir, is this it?
Is this what rehabilitation
looks like?
Something troubling you, son?
Yeah.
I need a better job,
for starters,
and a new car would be nice.
And how's that possible
when the system's rigged
against people like me?
People like you?
I'm not a bad person.
You're also not a victim.
Look...
I understand how hard it is
when you first get out,
you got no job, no prospects,
and in your case,
are unable to earn a living
using the unique skill set
that you have.
I do get it.
That's just it.
I can still do coding
and security work.
I don't have to be
connected to the Internet.
I mean, I can do all
my work on a dummy station
and then send thumb drives.
There has to be a job
that'll let me do that.
I'll tell you what,
I'll do some digging for you.
Really?
In lieu of paying restitution,
you've opted to perform
community service.
Have you complied
with the court order
for the required
number of hours?
Yes, sir.
Sweetie, why aren't you asleep?
Mama...
Yes?
Do you think daddy's in heaven?
Well...
Come here.
What do you think?
Well, Albert Einstein said,
"energy can't be
created or destroyed,
"it can only be changed
from one form to another.”
I think daddy is a star.
Daddy is a star.
He was our star.
Would you please sing me a song.
Mm-hmm.
J Galileo, what were
you thinkin'
j what were you seein'
j did it frighten you sometimes
you might be a fool
j did you stand beneath
the moon glow
j to change the world
j or impress a girl?
J were you just sleepless
and needing
j something to do
J tell me, Galileo j
Come on.
Come on, pops.
Well, hello there, sir.
Hello.
Where's your truck?
High cholesterol.
Doctor said I need
more exercise.
You look thin enough.
It's a silent killer.
Aren't they all?
You have any mail in that bag
of yours for me?
Afraid not.
You got any
outgoing mail for me?
Yes, I do. Right there.
Thank you. You have
a great day, sir.
You too.
I interviewed for that
customer service position today.
I think it went well.
Hi, sir, how can I help you?
Yeah, I need bee honey
and all you have
is wild flower honey, so...
Well, sir, wild flower honey
just means that the bees use
primarily wild flower blossoms
to make the honey. So...
You think I'm stupid
or something?
My wife sent me down here
to get bee honey,
I need honey that's
made from bees.
Not by wild flowers.
And although the pay
raise would certainly help,
I still don't think
it'll be enough for Daisy.
Daisy...
She got in trouble again
at school today.
What am I doing wrong?
The guys are playing
again this weekend.
Should I go?
I miss the music.
But that was a different life.
I was a different person.
No.
Honey, you need to eat.
Grandpa went through a lot
of trouble making that for you.
Smells like Godzilla farted.
Daisy maribel!
Where did you learn that?
At school.
It's okay.
No, dad, it's not okay.
Apologize.
I'm sorry, grandpop.
Apology accepted.
Now we eat some chicken nuggets
and French fries?
That'd be much better.
Thank you.
You're quite welcome.
Whatcha doing?
I'm drawing a precessional
graph of Mercury's orbit.
Isn't it pretty?
I've been stuck
on this page for years.
It's beautiful.
I want to start
a new chapter but,
who am I?
I've been caught between
the past and the future.
Just waiting...
Is this it for me?
All the dreams I had,
are they...
Are they gone forever, too?
Hey there, Josie. Looking good!
Hi, Tom, how are you today?
Mother's going out
for bingo tonight.
She's going to be out late.
That's nice.
Excuse me!
Um... I have a date tonight.
Sorry, Tom.
I think you just saved me again.
I guess it's Providence
that we ran into
each other then.
Again.
So, I never got a call from you,
I take it you're okay?
Well, I am a little concerned
about this corn.
Do you know if it's non-gmo?
Did you get it in the certified
organic produce section?
Yes, I did.
Then, yes, it is non-gmo.
Great. I feel so much
better now. Shall we?
Shall we what?
I believe you mentioned a date?
Well, that...
No, I didn't actually
mean that you...
You and I were gonna go on a...
On a date.
Then, shall we have a drink?
Isn't that the same thing?
Depends on how you look at it.
Plus you do kind of owe me.
I do not.
Tom?
Stop it.
Tom?
And I jumped in front
of a car for you.
If that doesn't get a guy
a drink, I don't know what does.
Let me go clock out.
J why?
J the lies had to make
the truth so heavy
j oh, I
j I was such a fool
no, I wasn't ready j
here you go.
Thank you.
I can't stay long, though.
My daughter is with
her grandfather.
You have a daughter?
Where are you going?
Yes, I have a daughter,
I am widowed,
and I haven't spoken
with another man in years,
let alone have a drink with one.
Please, don't go.
I'm ss o rry, I
I haven't done this in...
Ever.
Neither have I.
I always dreamed
of being a singer.
But, I mean, what kid didn't?
Me.
I respect music way too much
to subject this voice to it.
So, what's stopping you?
Life, I suppose.
I was even in a band.
People really do that?
I mean, I feel like
everybody wants to
but I never met anybody
who actually has.
Well, don't let this customer
service uniform fool you.
We were good.
You are brave.
I was brave. I was.
What about you?
What did you want to be
when you grew up?
A fighter pilot.
That's impressive.
So are you a fighter pilot?
Unfortunately, no.
A little thing called
school got in the way.
Grades?
No, no, that wasn't the problem,
I got straight a's.
I had what you might call
behavioral problems.
Looking back,
I think I was just bored.
I acted out a lot.
Do you still act out?
Honesty, I just try to focus
on the little victories.
It's what gets me
through the day.
Hmm.
Maybe some day,
they'll add up to something.
Something special.
Let's drink to that.
Hello, Mrs. Cartwright,
this is hawthorne
elementary calling.
Please give us a call back.
It's regarding your daughter,
Daisy. Thank you.
Come in.
Please, sit down,
Mrs. Cartwright.
What happened?
Daisy hit a girl.
She's okay. Just a little
shaken up, they both are.
Daisy gets frustrated easily
which I'm sure you know.
But the thing is,
it's getting worse.
She's becoming more anti-social.
She just retreats into herself.
She doesn't pay attention,
she doesn't interact with
the other kids,
she just doodles all day long.
I would like you
to consider this.
Special education?
You're not serious?
We just feel that
she would do better
in another program.
One that can cater
to her unique needs.
But she's smart.
She's really smart.
We're doing the best
we can, Mrs. Cartwright.
But we can't have her
hitting other kids.
That's two weeks in a row.
I have to take the well-being
of all students into account,
including that of Daisy's.
Hey.
You okay?
Come here.
J I think of you
and I find my strength
j remembering
your warm embrace... j
Hello.
I was going to wait
the requisite 48 hours, but...
Hello?
Hi, Sam.
I'm sorry. It's just
been a really bad day.
Well, lucky for you,
I have just the thing.
Do you want to go out
with me on a date?
A real date.
I don't even know you.
That's exactly what
I'm trying to remedy.
So, I'll pick you up at 8:00?
Is that a yes?
Yes.
Yes.
That's a yes.
Hey. Can I have your address?
Thank you.
You sure this is a good idea?
I can't pick her up
in the car you almost hit her.
No, I mean this entire
situation, dude.
Look, have you ever
had anybody love you?
Think you were the greatest
thing in the world?
Yes.
Jesus.
Well, I haven't. But she has.
Maybe she can feel that
way about me someday.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-mmm.
That's it. That's the one.
How do you think
this is gonna end?
Really?
I've gotta try.
Try to be something better.
If I don't, I'll just be living
the same life I've always lived.
Where has that gotten me?
Hello?
Sam?
Yes.
Free tomorrow?
Yes, sir.
Got you an interview.
Really?
Brinker stag investments.
That's great. That's amazing.
Be there at 10:00 A.M. sharp.
Yeah, I'll be there.
All right, good luck.
How can I help you,
special agent...
You have Sam Collins
on papers, correct?
I do. Is there a problem?
Has he reported
on his weekly probation?
He has.
Hasn't missed even once?
No, he's been
a model probationer, why?
Hasn't asked you
to look the other way?
You know, you're bordering
on the offensive, agent...
Ames.
Ames. Right.
Of course, forgive me.
Uh...
One more question
before I leave.
Has he mentioned anything to you
at all about stolen bitcoins?
No.
Thank you for your time.
You're aware that
lying to an FBI agent
carries a maximum sentence
of five years?
Yes, I'm well aware
of the law, agent ames.
Is there anything else
I can do for you?
J please, please me
j please, please me
Hello, sir.
I'm here to pick up Josie.
Postal work pays pretty well.
My aunt recently...
We were very close.
Honey...
Who are you?
Come inside with grandpa.
Please take her, dad.
Come on, darling.
Okay, but, who is that man?
That's the mailman.
Hi.
Wow, I haven't been
to this part of town in forever.
I hear there are some great
restaurants that opened up.
And speaking of.
I thought we were
going to dinner.
Don't let this place fool you.
They serve the best corned
beef you'll ever taste.
I can't go in there.
Look, here's the thing.
We could do a quiet evening
in a restaurant
talking all night.
Serious adults having
serious conversations.
Or, we could go in here,
have a meal, laugh,
listen to great music.
Your choice.
Hey, man, can I get another
round of guinness for the band.
It'll be up in a wee minute.
Josie? Is that really you?
Oh, my god, I can't believe
you're actually here.
How've you been?
God, you look amazing.
Hey, I'm Sam.
Hey, there. I'm gareth.
Oh, uh...
Sorry.
I hope you're taking
good care of this one.
She's a special girl.
Absolu...
It's not like...
Um, well, look, we're just
about to start the first set,
but please swing by
during the break.
I know the rest of the gang
would love to see you.
Yeah.
It was great to see you again.
It's good to see
you too, gareth.
When's the music gonna start?
Cheers.
So, you know that band
I used to sing with.
No, way. What are the chances?
"Neither snow nor rain nor heat
"nor gloom of night
stays these couriers
"from the swift completion
of their appointed round.”
Come on. You are making that up.
No, that's really
the postman"s creed.
If only every occupation
sounded so noble.
So, you like it?
It certainly has its perks.
J let's go slowly
j don't say love me
j don't want to roll the dice
j just yet j
I was five years old.
Looked up to my grandpa.
He was my idol in a way
that parents can't be
at that age.
And I was walking
down the street
with my mom, and...
He was on the other side,
approaching us.
And, so, I called out to him,
"grandpa! Grandpa!"
And he just kept walking.
Pretended like
he didn't even see me.
Wow.
He had remarried.
His first wife had died
and the new wife thought
it would be a good idea to
disassociate him from his kids.
That was the last I ever
talked to my grandfather.
A few weeks later,
we packed up and left town
in the middle of the night.
I started to stutter.
I kept asking my parents if...
If I was good.
I was paranoid, really.
And then I grew up and realized,
it doesn't really matter
if you're good or not.
My being good had nothing
to do with his choice.
Jesus.
You can probably tell
I don't get out much.
My husband died.
Six years ago, in Afghanistan.
He was a marine.
Compliments of the band.
And can I get you anything else?
No, thank you.
The sad part is, is that
he never even got
to meet his daughter.
What kind of man was he?
He was honest.
He always saw the positive
in everything.
He was a romantic.
He was kind.
He loved me.
And I loved him.
We were high school sweethearts,
I mean...
He's all I've ever known.
And when his life ended,
so did mine.
Now I live for Daisy.
At least I try to.
Wow.
Yeah.
Wow.
Thank you very much, folks.
We're fair play lass.
And now I'd like to invite
a very, very special lady
up on stage.
It's been a long time since
she's spit a few lines with us
and seeing her here tonight,
me and the boys just couldn't
pass on the opportunity.
I think he's talking about you.
Josie, come on up here.
Let's have some fun.
Um, I'm good. No.
Go on, I'll be right here.
You can do this.
There she is, folks,
give her a big hand.
J baby
j tell me what you're thinking
j 'cause, baby
j I've been thinking, too
j maybe
j it's only wishful dreaming
j but lately
j 1 only dream of you
I oh
ji need to know
j tell me
j would you come running
whenever love calls
j would you fly with me
without fear in the fall
j give me your heart
j or nothing at all j
Thank you for tonight.
I had forgotten what it feels
like to have fun.
Look, Josie,
I really like you and I wanna
be completely hon...
Shh.
Yeah, that was pretty smooth.
Good night.
Good night.
Fill this out.
And I also need to see
two forms of ID.
Hey, I'm from
the zoldi corporation.
We look after
your network infrastructure.
Excuse me.
We recently updated the BIOS
on your system drives
and as reported,
the Wi-Fi is assigning
dynamic ip addresses
to the ones that
should be static.
So, I need to get
in the server room.
It's an emergency,
so if you could just
push that button.
Thank you.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Unbelievable.
How may I help you?
I was brought in to do
an integrity check on
the Wi-Fi network,
and I came across a ddos attack
on the way on your mainframe.
"Distributed denial of service.”
It's kind of a big problem.
Okay. What would
you like me to do?
I would like you
to get me in there.
They're in meetings.
Look,
I'm sure you've done
everything right
to get behind this big desk.
Went to the right school,
flashed that saccharine
smile of yours,
and used it at just the right
moment to kiss the boss's ass,
but if you don't
get me in there,
all anybody will remember
is that you're the guy who
failed to protect this company.
You're responsible
for all its clients'
money being stolen.
Now, is that what you
worked so hard for?
No. No, it's not.
So, I want you to use those
perfectly-manicured
hands of yours
to pick up that phone
and get me in there. Right now.
Yes, there's a gentleman
out here
with our network provider,
who says we're under
a distributed denial...
Of service attack.
Of service attack?
Yes, ma'am.
Yes, okay.
She said to go on in.
What do you know?
What's going on?
I'm here for my interview.
Excuse me?
The network security interview.
May 1?
You've been hacked, by the way.
I don't understand.
It's what's called
social engineering.
I simply impersonated
a field technician,
said I was checking
Wi-Fi integrity
and security
parted like the red sea.
I could have loaded
any kind of malware
or spyware on
your company's mainframe.
I could have downloaded
every document or email
in this firm.
But, of course, I didn't.
Sam Collins?
Yes, sir.
I understand the condition
of your probation
is you're not allowed
access to the Internet.
Maybe I should have
hacked in after all.
Changed the records.
Forgive me, but, isn't access
to the Internet kind of needed
to secure our company
from attacks
coming... from... the Internet?
Well...
As I said, my hack today
was simple social engineering.
Which is exactly what
some teenager did
when he hacked the head
of the CIA, by the way.
Where the Internet is concerned,
I can write software simulating
any kind of attack imaginable.
Then I can create
a virtual environment
to test these attacks,
and then provide the code
for somebody else to implement.
Mr. Collins,
although we appreciate
your enthusiasm...
Corporations spend
$60 billion worldwide
on information security
services last year.
They're expected to shell out
another 86 billion this year.
The reality is,
you control a lot of money,
but you're vulnerable.
Entrepreneurial hackers hunt
for security flaws in companies
just like yours.
Then they sell that
info to governments
from Russia to North Korea,
as well as your competitors.
For that single vulnerability,
I could have been paid $150,000.
You're welcome.
Look, hire a middle-aged man
with a computer degree from
your local community college,
if that's what you think
will protect you.
But don't say
you haven't been warned.
Thank you, Mr. Collins for your
insightful commentary.
We'll be in touch.
How'd the interview go?
What are you doing here?
Sure, help yourself.
What are we gonna do
with you, Sam?
You've got nothing on me.
You know, impersonating
a postal worker
is a federal crime?
I'm sure that your probation
officer would be
none too pleased upon
receiving this information.
Neither would the judge.
Okay, I get it.
Okay, so back to
my original question.
What are we gonna do with you?
Pretend like it never happened.
No, that's...
That's not what I had in mind.
Get me the bitcoins, Sam.
Then this little problem
of yours will go away.
I told you, I don't have them.
I... I never did.
You got three days.
J in a world
j highest achievement there
when you're not home
j with... j
Stanley, we need to talk.
Come on, Stan,
I know you're in there.
David, please open up.
We need to find
those bitcoins, now.
Agent ames just busted me
for stealing mail.
What?
Why are you stealing mail?
Well, first for money,
but then for...
Love.
Oh, so the bad boys
really do get all
the girls, don't they?
No, they don't.
The girls that matter,
they just want an honest man.
Okay, the, uh...
Okay.
The bitcoins disappeared
when I ran them
through the tumbler.
He's never gonna find them.
I'm sorry, Sam.
I can't believe
you tried to launder them.
What are you gonna do?
I don't know, David.
I'm thinking of giving
prayer a try.
Kung fu?
Really?
Yeah. It's cool.
Are you messing with me, Sam?
No, sir.
Then why did you hack into
that job interview?
I was trying to take initiative.
I thought I could help them.
They weren't asking you
for that kind of help.
Their ignorance isn't
something I could ignore.
Their ignorance?
I was doing
that company a favor.
No! You were gambling
with my relationships.
The world is burning around us,
and we're playing by
a different set of rules.
You smoke one joint,
you're not FBI material.
You show initiative,
you're told not to
think outside the box.
You hack into a company
to try to help people,
you're relegated to working
in an ice-cream cone.
It's not how you win a war.
Not this one.
A war?
Okay, enlighten me, son.
How does one win this war?
You put your best soldiers
on the front lines
and let them battle it out.
Just like we've always done.
Is that how you see yourself,
a soldier?
I could be.
Young man,
to be a soldier,
you have to think of someone
other than yourself.
Because when you're a soldier,
if you make a mistake,
people could die.
Right now,
what I see hiding behind
that charming smile of yours,
is someone who is out for
himself, damn the rest of us.
Is that the type
of soldier you wanna be?
Agent ames,
came by my office yesterday.
Is there something
you wanna tell me?
About stolen bitcoins?
I didn't steal his bitcoins.
Not that it matters,
he circumvented the law before
to put me in prison,
he'll do it again.
Okay.
Hmm.
Whoa.
Okay, let's make this cool.
All right. Hi-yah!
Huh?
Hello, Barb.
Stay right there.
Hey, Adam.
Sorry, do I know you?
You think it's funny,
what you're doing to that lady?
What's it to you?
She's somebody's mother.
Somebody's daughter.
What if it was your mom?
Gimme the money.
Sorry.
Tell that to her.
Get in the car.
I sent you packing
for a reason, honey.
What the hell!
This shit better be important.
FBI.
I swear, she told me she was 18.
Where's Sam?
Oh, um, have you
checked his work?
What I was just saying before,
I was just kiddin'.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Excuse me. Outta my way.
Where's Sam?
I'm sorry. I don't speak rude.
Don't mess with me,
sprinkle lady.
I don't know,
he's not on the schedule.
You wanna look?
I was wondering when
you'd show back up.
Come here.
I got somethin' for ya.
Well... aren't you
gonna open it?
How long have you known?
I had a barber in Vietnam.
His name was frank.
That wasn't his real name.
He had a wife, kids,
from the village,
just outside of Saigon
where I was stationed.
Long binh.
Frank was a jolly guy,
always smilin'.
Just like you.
Then one day while
he was giving me a shave,
the razor stopped.
I looked up at frank,
and he had this look
on his face...
A mixture of hate and fear.
Normally you just
see one or the other
when they're fightin'.
But this was close up.
It made it more real.
Turns out frank was viet cong.
Turns out a lot
of our friends were.
So,
tell me,
what is it you want, Sam?
I just wanna be the kinda man
that she could someday
write a letter to.
Nothing's stopping you
from being that kinda man
but yourself.
You'll find her at work.
I'm assuming you've
received my e-mail?
Our adversary, the devil,
prowls like a roaring lion
seeking to devour its prey.
FBI.
That so?
Yeah, that is so.
We're investigating reports
of missing mail
in the neighborhood.
Have you noticed anything
out of the ordinary?
Can't say I have.
If you and your daughter
are involved in any of this,
that makes you accessories
after the fact.
Again,
I have no idea what
you're talking about.
Well, if you think of anything.
Cheese is in
the dairy section, last aisle.
Have a good day.
Thanks.
Bye.
Are you here for some more corn?
No.
I'm here for you.
I want you to know that
I haven't been honest with you.
Not about some things at least.
Things I hope don't change
how you feel about me
because I'm...
I'm...
I'm still the same person.
Mr. Collins.
You're under arrest
for impersonating a
U.S. postal worker.
Josie...
Sam, what's going on?
Let's go.
I'm ss o rry, I
you're not sorry. You're done.
That was your answer?
Stealing more of my bitcoins?
Huh?
Stay right there.
Stand down,
I'm arresting this man.
No, you're not.
I said, stand down,
I'm arresting this man.
No, no, no.
Drop your weapon!
I said, drop your weapon.
Drop your weapon.
Drop it now!
We know about the bitcoins.
It's all over, ames.
Last chance.
I'm not gonna tell you again.
Drop your weapon now.
You're making a big mistake.
Mark ames, you're under arrest
for wire fraud
and money laundering.
Do you know who I am?
Each count carries
a maximum sentence of 20 years.
I assume you're aware
you're going to jail.
You have the right
to remain silent.
Anything you say can
and will be held against
you in a court of law.
You okay, kid?
Yeah. Thank you.
Go ahead. Open it.
The tomb of the unknown solider
doesn't actually
receive letters.
But, I never had
the heart to tell you.
It seemed you needed
something to hold on to.
Something that could
get you from moment to moment.
So, when the first letter
was returned,
I set up a post office box
and forwarded them there.
This box is just one of many.
There's two letters
missing from that box.
You think there's
a chance they may
have reached their intended
destination after all?
How could you say that?
Michael is dead.
He died six years ago.
Daisy needs a mother.
A mother willing to
chase her dreams,
otherwise what are
you showing her?
How to survive?
Survival isn't enough.
Not when she has
an opportunity to thrive.
You can honor him by living.
Not by writing letters.
Have you remained
in the same residence
since our last meeting?
Yes, sir.
Have you maintained
gainful full-time employment?
Have you, uh...
You handled yourself well
during this whole mess.
I could have done better.
Well, life is more about
where you end up,
not where you begin.
Don't you think?
Yes, sir.
I'm gonna
recommend early termination
of your probation.
What?
I mean, it'll be up to the judge
to make the final
decision, but...
I'm confident
he'll judge favorably.
Thank you. Thank you, sir.
I don't have to tell you
to make the most
of this second chance.
No, sir. You have my word.
I'm so glad to see you.
How are you?
I'm doing well.
Why are you doing this, David?
Please, call me Stanley.
Oh, thank god.
I knew if agent ames
stole bitcoins once,
he'd do it again.
So, I hacked into his accounts
and traced all his deposits.
But, in order to send
everybody that email,
I had to hack into
the department of justice.
Apparently they don't look too
favorably on that sorta thing.
So...
I also told them that it
was me who stole the mail.
What? Why would you do that?
"Greater love hath
no man than this,
"that a man lay down
his life for his friends."
It's exactly what
you did for me,
when you took the fall for us.
This is my opportunity
to pay you back.
I have to tell them.
Don't you dare.
It'll mess up my plea bargain.
So,
how's your girl?
Doubtful I'll ever know.
Haven't you asked her?
Sam, you have to ask her.
Otherwise, what has this
whole thing been for?
Remember, you've got to try.
Speaking of...
She's a weird girl, that Rachel.
Said she always wanted
a pen pal in prison.
What can I do for you?
Talk to Josie.
Sam.
There's something
I want you to have.
Yeah?
My Bible.
I'd be honored.
John, chapter 4 is my favorite.
Let's see what the big deal
is, Stan, shall we.
John, chapter 4.
John, chapter 4.
A bitcoin wallet address?
Stanley, you sly son of a gun.
Well, what do you know.
You really do have
all the answers.
J I could never see
j the man
ji should be
J till I loved you
what are you doing here?
I came to apologize.
You stole my letters.
Yes, I did.
What gives you the right?
Nothing. Nothing at all.
I don't even know who you are.
I'm a computer hacker.
A convicted felon
who was recently granted
early release from probation.
I work in a giant ice cream cone
on the other side of town.
And I stole your mail,
hoping I could earn
a couple extra bucks.
But that was before
I read your letters.
Before I fell in love with you.
From that moment,
I resolved to change.
To become a better man.
You're a thief.
I only hacked into
the bad people.
You hacked into me, Sam.
Into my life.
You know all about
my little girl, my family!
Do you know how violated
that makes me feel?
What, am I a bad person, too?
No, you're the best person
I've ever met.
We're leaving.
We're moving to
Nashville next month.
What will you do?
I don't know.
I don't know,
besides knock on the door
of that school every day
until they let Daisy in.
She's no closer to getting
in by being here.
I meant, for you.
I am so thankful that we met,
and whether this was
real or not...
This was real. For me.
For me, too.
I'm a better person
because of you.
So aml.
Take care of yourself, Sam.
Good things happen
to good people.
Don't ever lose hope in that.
J didn't dream
j of all the things
j life could be
j till I loved you
j till I loved you
j till I loved you j
Oh, hey, dad. She's finished
with her lesson,
I'll be home tonight
around 10:00, so...
A letter came for you.
From who?
Why don't you take a look.
Shh. It's okay.
We'll figure something out.
No.
"On behalf of
the kinsen Morgan academy,
"I'm please to congratulate
you on the acceptance
"of your daughter,
Daisy, into our program.”
What?
Keep reading.
"A designated scholarship gift
"has been presented
in Daisy's name,
"covering tuition and fees
for each year she is enrolled.”
How well
do you manage adversity?
Well, you've heard of
the fight or flight response.
I was really good
at the flight part.
Problem is, I was
equally good at convincing
people I was fighting.
And now?
I'm tired of running
and getting nowhere.
So, I figured it was about time
to start fighting for
something bigger than myself.
Can you describe a time
when you had to
demonstrate leadership?
I think I've always
been a natural leader.
It's where I've led people
that's been the problem.
So, that's why I'm here.
What do you have to offer us?
Let's get you outta here.
Intelligence.
Your intelligence?
Yeah, that...
Computers, Internet.
Obtaining political
and military information.
Fighting with my fingers,
you know?
Care to explain?
I can destroy networks.
Penetrate enemy computers
to steal or manipulate data.
I can release a worm
to take down control
and command
systems of our enemies,
so they can't communicate
with ground forces.
Or fire surface-to-air missiles.
That sort of thing.
Why do you want
to serve your country?
I appreciate the opportunity
we all have to chase our dreams,
no matter our background.
And I'm willing to do
whatever it takes,
to ensure we don't
lose that right.
Plus, there's something
undeniably sexy about
being part of the biggest,
baddest military on the planet.
Don't you think?
Do you think you have
what it takes to be a soldier?
Yes, sir.
I believe I do.
"Dear Josie..."

Have become one of the most
serious threats to our nation.
The cyber challenges
we're talking about
are not theoretical.
Hackers can shut down
our electric grid...
Telecommunications...
Our money, our secrets.
This is something real.
We're already under attack.
Sony pictures...
Target comes to mind.
Sooner or later,
the U.S. will take action.
We will respond.
The FBI hopes to graduate
hundreds of new cyber agents.
We still have a hard time
finding the right people.
The bureau's having trouble
finding enough
qualified personnel.
The current threat outpaces
our existing authorities.
Terrorists...
Foreign governments...
Criminals...
Hacktivists...
The massive distributed
denial of service attack.
A new form of warfare.
Cyber attacks are
only going to get worse.
The cyber threat
is threat number one.
And in local news,
a hillsborough county man
has been sentenced
to three years in prison
for hacking into a multinational
agricultural company
and posting online
the home addresses
and social security numbers
of its board of directors.
Seriously?
Have you remained
in the same residence
since our last meeting?
Yes, sir, still at my brother's.
Have you maintained
gainful full-time employment?
Yes, sir,
I'm dutifully employed
in the land of minimum wage.
In lieu of paying restitution,
you've opted to perform
community service.
Have you complied
with the court order
for the required
number of hours?
Yes, sir, nothing gives me
more pleasure than seeing
those little rug rats smile.
Have you
knowingly violated any law
at the municipal, county,
state or federal level?
I'm as honest as a politician
during election season.
Answer the question, yes or no.
No, sir,
I haven't violated any laws...
That I'm specifically aware of.
Finally, have you
operated any devices
connected to the Internet,
including a computer,
phone, tablet or television?
No, sir. I haven't.
I'm telling you,
give me one chance,
and I'd hack those terrorist
cells so fast,
they'd think I was
in the next room.
You think our government's
doing anything about it?
No. They rely on outside
groups like anonymous
to do their dirty work.
To pass them information.
And then, they lock up kids
who were just having fun,
when it's those kids
they should be hiring.
Doesn't that make you mad?
Fools give full vent
to their rage.
The wise bring calm in the end.
For christs' sake, Stan...
And once again, please,
my name is David now.
You know... David,
changing your name doesn't
mean you get to start over.
This isn't halo,
you can't just respawn.
You know, I'm willing
to accept my faults
and set a path to correct them.
But like a talisman,
my name serves
as the key
to the spiritual mindset
that I'm trying to achieve.
Doesn't alcohol
do the same thing?
You should come to Bible
study with us sometime.
All the answers are in here.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
we have customers.
State-sponsored
cyberterrorism, though,
isn't that the FBI's
worst nightmare?
Yes, if a rogue terrorist
were to perpetrate a hack,
it would be the worst nightmare.
Yes.
You forget something?
I found this,
stuck between my seats.
Wait right there,
I have something for ya.
Hi there, Jack.
Hello.
Beautiful weather we're having.
Are you kiddin' me?
It's hotter than hell out here.
Oh, you know us Southern
ladies never sweat.
You came early today.
Efficiency's my middle name.
Early isn't efficient,
it's just early.
You got that letter for me?
Right.
You okay there, son?
Mm-hmm.
"Happy birthday, Tommy.
"We remember when you were
just a little boy
and now you're ten."
Blah, blah, blah.
"Love you very much.
Love grammy and granddad."
Thank you, grammy.
Mwah.
Adam... from Barb.
Whoa. Nice to meet you.
Stay right there.
How generous of you.
"Dear Adam, I've never done
anything like this before."
Really?
"I'm a little embarrassed
"but you make me feel
so comfortable.
"I can't tell you enough
how much your encouragement
"has brought me
out of a very dark place.
"I don't know what's
more impressive,
"that I'm wearing lingerie,
"or that I figured out
the camera timer."
Well done.
What's up with the getup?
I thought you were at work?
Called in sick.
"Dear, Michael.
"Tomorrow will be six years
since you left us.
"2,190 days since
they told me you were gone."
That's 2,190 nights dreaming
the same beautiful dream
of you next to me.
And then the same
horrible nightmare
where you float away...
Dissolving into darkness.
Leaving only that moment
when the doorbell rang.
I forgive the soldier.
I'm still angry with god.
Daisy looks
more like you every day.
She has your cute stubbornness
and your intellect, too.
But she struggles
connecting with others.
I just don't know what to do.
I sent her application
fo that school
for the gifted in Nashville.
It's a long shot,
and it's expensive.
Too expensive.
But I think you'd at least want
me to try, wouldn't you?
I miss our mornings together.
The dawning of each new day
bringing endless possibilities.
Days filled with love.
Nights filled with laughter.
A life full of dreams.
But that song has been sung.
The Harmony's gone.
Dad thinks it's time to move on.
That rhetoric is
a poor substitute for action.
Doesn't he realize my prince
charming is never coming back?
Be right there.
Agent ames.
Sam. May I come in?
Do I have a choice?
You always have a choice.
Some choices are just
better than others.
So, what brings you to
this side of the tracks?
Ever hear of the spice trail?
Oh, the indo-European
trade route?
Yeah, we learn
about it in school...
That's funny, that's very funny,
but I'm referring to
the online drug marketplace.
Oh, that spice trail.
Well, you really should
have been more clear.
We infiltrated it a few years
back, and we were hacked.
Over 1,000 bitcoin was stolen.
We've only just now
caught up with the trail.
Great. Congratulations.
However, we're at a dead end.
The trail vanishes.
You think that's funny?
It's just, I don't recall you
reaching a dead end with...
With me.
I'm sure whoever you're after
is using an encrypted Tor server
just like I did.
Yet you were somehow magically
able to find my ip address.
So, I'm just wondering,
why you don't break the law
to find them as well?
Sam, the thing is,
we know the ip address.
It was routed through the same
data center you used.
Well, thanks to you,
I'm prohibited
from using the Internet.
So, unfortunately,
there's no way I can help you.
Actually, we think you can.
Nobody leaves a calling card
quite like you, Sam.
That's over $10 million
worth of bitcoin, gone.
Which would make
you a very rich man.
Look, I have no idea
who stole your coins or how,
that wasn't my game.
If you were willing
to break into monsanto...
Come on, that was for the people
subjected to their
genetically-modified crap.
That is a far cry from stealing
assets, even in the real world.
Sam.
Do you have the coins?
No. I don't have them.
Thank you for your time.
Should have visited me
in prison.
I've missed our little
conversations.
There's always next time.
If you were to die today,
how sure are you that
you'll be going to heaven?
Well,
if god's willing to overlook
that drunken one-night stand
from last week,
I'd say I've got a 50-50 chance.
You've got to be kidding me?
What is it?
Trying to cash out of
this stupid poker game
but it's saying
all I get is 1.2 dollars,
which is a bunch of crap,
I just took the pot.
Well, let me see that for a sec.
Oh, no, it's not 1.2 dollars,
it's 1.2 bitcoin.
Those sneaky bastards!
I gave them my credit card.
No, it's still real money.
It's just...
It's a digital currency
based on a perceived value
created by a group of people
who engage in trade,
just like the dollar.
Why are you such a dork?
So, how do I get my money?
In dollars.
It's easy, you just...
You just cash out
and then convert the dollars
on an exchange.
I can do it for you.
Stanley?
Hi, Rachel.
We need to talk.
Is everything okay?
What's going on?
You hacked the spice trail?
Jesus Christ, Stan.
Please don't take
the lord's name in vain.
How could you?
It was a few years ago.
A few years...
That isn't what we were into.
It wasn't corporate.
We agreed to stay corporate.
Why would you hack into
a drug marketplace?
You went rogue on me.
I've already been to prison
once, I'm not going back again.
Why?
'Cause they're bad people.
They sell drugs to kids.
They sold drugs to my sister.
They killed her, Sam.
I... I can't cover
for you this time.
You don't have to, dude.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Tell that to agent ames,
he stopped by this afternoon.
What?
So, where are the bitcoins?
I lost them.
They're gone.
Gone?
Why is he talking
to you about this?
Check your wallet.
Karate cat was hangry.
I'll go talk to him.
No. I'll take care of it.
He can't prove anything.
After you, m'lady.
Watch your step.
Oh, hey there, little bro.
Meet Nancy.
Nancy, this is dipshit.
This is your brother?
Mmm.
Why don't you come
party with us tonight?
It'll be fun.
Oh, baby, come on,
you know I'm just playing.
Baby?
Babe.
Come on, you know I love you.
Babe?
Baby?
Come on, baby.
Are you ready for a good day
at school today?
Hi. I'm Sam.
I like long walks on the beach
and candlelit dinners.
Oh, yeah, I'm also
a convicted felon.
Recently released from prison,
who stole your letter
and staked out your house.
Yeah, I know, and you were
expecting prince charming.
J other girls
j just won't say
ji know...
This is so wrong.
I don't even have
a driver's license, dude.
Just drive in a straight
line and slam on the brakes.
I'll pretend you hit me.
It'll be fine.
That's her.
Oh, she's very pretty.
What? She is.
Remember. Just like we planned.
J been around the world
I've seen
j enough crying out
from a girl for me
J baby I'm here
all right.
Oh, shit!
Whoa, watch out!
Shit.
Are you okay?
Can you hear me?
Are you hurt?
Hi.
Come on. Let's get you up.
Come on, that's it.
The guy just
came out of nowhere.
Hey!
Hey!
Honestly, it's fine. Wait...
Hey!
Get back here!
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Little...
Light-headed.
Okay, let's get you inside.
Thank you.
That's it. Over here.
Sit down.
Oh, my goodness, your hand.
Does it hurt?
I hadn't even noticed.
It was very brave of you.
Thank you.
Are you okay?
I'll tell you what,
here is my name and number.
If you start to feel worse
or get a headache, or just
wanna lawyer up
and need a witness,
call me.
Hi, Josie. I'm Sam.
Hi, Sam.
You sure you're okay?
Better now.
Okay.
Have you remained
in the same residence
since our last meeting?
Yes, sir. Still living
with my deadbeat brother.
Have you maintained
gainful full-time employment?
Yep. I'm still stuck in reverse.
In lieu of paying restitution,
you've opted to perform
community service,
have you complied
with the court order
for the required
number of hours?
Tell me, sir, is this it?
Is this what rehabilitation
looks like?
Something troubling you, son?
Yeah.
I need a better job,
for starters,
and a new car would be nice.
And how's that possible
when the system's rigged
against people like me?
People like you?
I'm not a bad person.
You're also not a victim.
Look...
I understand how hard it is
when you first get out,
you got no job, no prospects,
and in your case,
are unable to earn a living
using the unique skill set
that you have.
I do get it.
That's just it.
I can still do coding
and security work.
I don't have to be
connected to the Internet.
I mean, I can do all
my work on a dummy station
and then send thumb drives.
There has to be a job
that'll let me do that.
I'll tell you what,
I'll do some digging for you.
Really?
In lieu of paying restitution,
you've opted to perform
community service.
Have you complied
with the court order
for the required
number of hours?
Yes, sir.
Sweetie, why aren't you asleep?
Mama...
Yes?
Do you think daddy's in heaven?
Well...
Come here.
What do you think?
Well, Albert Einstein said,
"energy can't be
created or destroyed,
"it can only be changed
from one form to another.”
I think daddy is a star.
Daddy is a star.
He was our star.
Would you please sing me a song.
Mm-hmm.
J Galileo, what were
you thinkin'
j what were you seein'
j did it frighten you sometimes
you might be a fool
j did you stand beneath
the moon glow
j to change the world
j or impress a girl?
J were you just sleepless
and needing
j something to do
J tell me, Galileo j
Come on.
Come on, pops.
Well, hello there, sir.
Hello.
Where's your truck?
High cholesterol.
Doctor said I need
more exercise.
You look thin enough.
It's a silent killer.
Aren't they all?
You have any mail in that bag
of yours for me?
Afraid not.
You got any
outgoing mail for me?
Yes, I do. Right there.
Thank you. You have
a great day, sir.
You too.
I interviewed for that
customer service position today.
I think it went well.
Hi, sir, how can I help you?
Yeah, I need bee honey
and all you have
is wild flower honey, so...
Well, sir, wild flower honey
just means that the bees use
primarily wild flower blossoms
to make the honey. So...
You think I'm stupid
or something?
My wife sent me down here
to get bee honey,
I need honey that's
made from bees.
Not by wild flowers.
And although the pay
raise would certainly help,
I still don't think
it'll be enough for Daisy.
Daisy...
She got in trouble again
at school today.
What am I doing wrong?
The guys are playing
again this weekend.
Should I go?
I miss the music.
But that was a different life.
I was a different person.
No.
Honey, you need to eat.
Grandpa went through a lot
of trouble making that for you.
Smells like Godzilla farted.
Daisy maribel!
Where did you learn that?
At school.
It's okay.
No, dad, it's not okay.
Apologize.
I'm sorry, grandpop.
Apology accepted.
Now we eat some chicken nuggets
and French fries?
That'd be much better.
Thank you.
You're quite welcome.
Whatcha doing?
I'm drawing a precessional
graph of Mercury's orbit.
Isn't it pretty?
I've been stuck
on this page for years.
It's beautiful.
I want to start
a new chapter but,
who am I?
I've been caught between
the past and the future.
Just waiting...
Is this it for me?
All the dreams I had,
are they...
Are they gone forever, too?
Hey there, Josie. Looking good!
Hi, Tom, how are you today?
Mother's going out
for bingo tonight.
She's going to be out late.
That's nice.
Excuse me!
Um... I have a date tonight.
Sorry, Tom.
I think you just saved me again.
I guess it's Providence
that we ran into
each other then.
Again.
So, I never got a call from you,
I take it you're okay?
Well, I am a little concerned
about this corn.
Do you know if it's non-gmo?
Did you get it in the certified
organic produce section?
Yes, I did.
Then, yes, it is non-gmo.
Great. I feel so much
better now. Shall we?
Shall we what?
I believe you mentioned a date?
Well, that...
No, I didn't actually
mean that you...
You and I were gonna go on a...
On a date.
Then, shall we have a drink?
Isn't that the same thing?
Depends on how you look at it.
Plus you do kind of owe me.
I do not.
Tom?
Stop it.
Tom?
And I jumped in front
of a car for you.
If that doesn't get a guy
a drink, I don't know what does.
Let me go clock out.
J why?
J the lies had to make
the truth so heavy
j oh, I
j I was such a fool
no, I wasn't ready j
here you go.
Thank you.
I can't stay long, though.
My daughter is with
her grandfather.
You have a daughter?
Where are you going?
Yes, I have a daughter,
I am widowed,
and I haven't spoken
with another man in years,
let alone have a drink with one.
Please, don't go.
I'm ss o rry, I
I haven't done this in...
Ever.
Neither have I.
I always dreamed
of being a singer.
But, I mean, what kid didn't?
Me.
I respect music way too much
to subject this voice to it.
So, what's stopping you?
Life, I suppose.
I was even in a band.
People really do that?
I mean, I feel like
everybody wants to
but I never met anybody
who actually has.
Well, don't let this customer
service uniform fool you.
We were good.
You are brave.
I was brave. I was.
What about you?
What did you want to be
when you grew up?
A fighter pilot.
That's impressive.
So are you a fighter pilot?
Unfortunately, no.
A little thing called
school got in the way.
Grades?
No, no, that wasn't the problem,
I got straight a's.
I had what you might call
behavioral problems.
Looking back,
I think I was just bored.
I acted out a lot.
Do you still act out?
Honesty, I just try to focus
on the little victories.
It's what gets me
through the day.
Hmm.
Maybe some day,
they'll add up to something.
Something special.
Let's drink to that.
Hello, Mrs. Cartwright,
this is hawthorne
elementary calling.
Please give us a call back.
It's regarding your daughter,
Daisy. Thank you.
Come in.
Please, sit down,
Mrs. Cartwright.
What happened?
Daisy hit a girl.
She's okay. Just a little
shaken up, they both are.
Daisy gets frustrated easily
which I'm sure you know.
But the thing is,
it's getting worse.
She's becoming more anti-social.
She just retreats into herself.
She doesn't pay attention,
she doesn't interact with
the other kids,
she just doodles all day long.
I would like you
to consider this.
Special education?
You're not serious?
We just feel that
she would do better
in another program.
One that can cater
to her unique needs.
But she's smart.
She's really smart.
We're doing the best
we can, Mrs. Cartwright.
But we can't have her
hitting other kids.
That's two weeks in a row.
I have to take the well-being
of all students into account,
including that of Daisy's.
Hey.
You okay?
Come here.
J I think of you
and I find my strength
j remembering
your warm embrace... j
Hello.
I was going to wait
the requisite 48 hours, but...
Hello?
Hi, Sam.
I'm sorry. It's just
been a really bad day.
Well, lucky for you,
I have just the thing.
Do you want to go out
with me on a date?
A real date.
I don't even know you.
That's exactly what
I'm trying to remedy.
So, I'll pick you up at 8:00?
Is that a yes?
Yes.
Yes.
That's a yes.
Hey. Can I have your address?
Thank you.
You sure this is a good idea?
I can't pick her up
in the car you almost hit her.
No, I mean this entire
situation, dude.
Look, have you ever
had anybody love you?
Think you were the greatest
thing in the world?
Yes.
Jesus.
Well, I haven't. But she has.
Maybe she can feel that
way about me someday.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-mmm.
That's it. That's the one.
How do you think
this is gonna end?
Really?
I've gotta try.
Try to be something better.
If I don't, I'll just be living
the same life I've always lived.
Where has that gotten me?
Hello?
Sam?
Yes.
Free tomorrow?
Yes, sir.
Got you an interview.
Really?
Brinker stag investments.
That's great. That's amazing.
Be there at 10:00 A.M. sharp.
Yeah, I'll be there.
All right, good luck.
How can I help you,
special agent...
You have Sam Collins
on papers, correct?
I do. Is there a problem?
Has he reported
on his weekly probation?
He has.
Hasn't missed even once?
No, he's been
a model probationer, why?
Hasn't asked you
to look the other way?
You know, you're bordering
on the offensive, agent...
Ames.
Ames. Right.
Of course, forgive me.
Uh...
One more question
before I leave.
Has he mentioned anything to you
at all about stolen bitcoins?
No.
Thank you for your time.
You're aware that
lying to an FBI agent
carries a maximum sentence
of five years?
Yes, I'm well aware
of the law, agent ames.
Is there anything else
I can do for you?
J please, please me
j please, please me
Hello, sir.
I'm here to pick up Josie.
Postal work pays pretty well.
My aunt recently...
We were very close.
Honey...
Who are you?
Come inside with grandpa.
Please take her, dad.
Come on, darling.
Okay, but, who is that man?
That's the mailman.
Hi.
Wow, I haven't been
to this part of town in forever.
I hear there are some great
restaurants that opened up.
And speaking of.
I thought we were
going to dinner.
Don't let this place fool you.
They serve the best corned
beef you'll ever taste.
I can't go in there.
Look, here's the thing.
We could do a quiet evening
in a restaurant
talking all night.
Serious adults having
serious conversations.
Or, we could go in here,
have a meal, laugh,
listen to great music.
Your choice.
Hey, man, can I get another
round of guinness for the band.
It'll be up in a wee minute.
Josie? Is that really you?
Oh, my god, I can't believe
you're actually here.
How've you been?
God, you look amazing.
Hey, I'm Sam.
Hey, there. I'm gareth.
Oh, uh...
Sorry.
I hope you're taking
good care of this one.
She's a special girl.
Absolu...
It's not like...
Um, well, look, we're just
about to start the first set,
but please swing by
during the break.
I know the rest of the gang
would love to see you.
Yeah.
It was great to see you again.
It's good to see
you too, gareth.
When's the music gonna start?
Cheers.
So, you know that band
I used to sing with.
No, way. What are the chances?
"Neither snow nor rain nor heat
"nor gloom of night
stays these couriers
"from the swift completion
of their appointed round.”
Come on. You are making that up.
No, that's really
the postman"s creed.
If only every occupation
sounded so noble.
So, you like it?
It certainly has its perks.
J let's go slowly
j don't say love me
j don't want to roll the dice
j just yet j
I was five years old.
Looked up to my grandpa.
He was my idol in a way
that parents can't be
at that age.
And I was walking
down the street
with my mom, and...
He was on the other side,
approaching us.
And, so, I called out to him,
"grandpa! Grandpa!"
And he just kept walking.
Pretended like
he didn't even see me.
Wow.
He had remarried.
His first wife had died
and the new wife thought
it would be a good idea to
disassociate him from his kids.
That was the last I ever
talked to my grandfather.
A few weeks later,
we packed up and left town
in the middle of the night.
I started to stutter.
I kept asking my parents if...
If I was good.
I was paranoid, really.
And then I grew up and realized,
it doesn't really matter
if you're good or not.
My being good had nothing
to do with his choice.
Jesus.
You can probably tell
I don't get out much.
My husband died.
Six years ago, in Afghanistan.
He was a marine.
Compliments of the band.
And can I get you anything else?
No, thank you.
The sad part is, is that
he never even got
to meet his daughter.
What kind of man was he?
He was honest.
He always saw the positive
in everything.
He was a romantic.
He was kind.
He loved me.
And I loved him.
We were high school sweethearts,
I mean...
He's all I've ever known.
And when his life ended,
so did mine.
Now I live for Daisy.
At least I try to.
Wow.
Yeah.
Wow.
Thank you very much, folks.
We're fair play lass.
And now I'd like to invite
a very, very special lady
up on stage.
It's been a long time since
she's spit a few lines with us
and seeing her here tonight,
me and the boys just couldn't
pass on the opportunity.
I think he's talking about you.
Josie, come on up here.
Let's have some fun.
Um, I'm good. No.
Go on, I'll be right here.
You can do this.
There she is, folks,
give her a big hand.
J baby
j tell me what you're thinking
j 'cause, baby
j I've been thinking, too
j maybe
j it's only wishful dreaming
j but lately
j 1 only dream of you
I oh
ji need to know
j tell me
j would you come running
whenever love calls
j would you fly with me
without fear in the fall
j give me your heart
j or nothing at all j
Thank you for tonight.
I had forgotten what it feels
like to have fun.
Look, Josie,
I really like you and I wanna
be completely hon...
Shh.
Yeah, that was pretty smooth.
Good night.
Good night.
Fill this out.
And I also need to see
two forms of ID.
Hey, I'm from
the zoldi corporation.
We look after
your network infrastructure.
Excuse me.
We recently updated the BIOS
on your system drives
and as reported,
the Wi-Fi is assigning
dynamic ip addresses
to the ones that
should be static.
So, I need to get
in the server room.
It's an emergency,
so if you could just
push that button.
Thank you.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Unbelievable.
How may I help you?
I was brought in to do
an integrity check on
the Wi-Fi network,
and I came across a ddos attack
on the way on your mainframe.
"Distributed denial of service.”
It's kind of a big problem.
Okay. What would
you like me to do?
I would like you
to get me in there.
They're in meetings.
Look,
I'm sure you've done
everything right
to get behind this big desk.
Went to the right school,
flashed that saccharine
smile of yours,
and used it at just the right
moment to kiss the boss's ass,
but if you don't
get me in there,
all anybody will remember
is that you're the guy who
failed to protect this company.
You're responsible
for all its clients'
money being stolen.
Now, is that what you
worked so hard for?
No. No, it's not.
So, I want you to use those
perfectly-manicured
hands of yours
to pick up that phone
and get me in there. Right now.
Yes, there's a gentleman
out here
with our network provider,
who says we're under
a distributed denial...
Of service attack.
Of service attack?
Yes, ma'am.
Yes, okay.
She said to go on in.
What do you know?
What's going on?
I'm here for my interview.
Excuse me?
The network security interview.
May 1?
You've been hacked, by the way.
I don't understand.
It's what's called
social engineering.
I simply impersonated
a field technician,
said I was checking
Wi-Fi integrity
and security
parted like the red sea.
I could have loaded
any kind of malware
or spyware on
your company's mainframe.
I could have downloaded
every document or email
in this firm.
But, of course, I didn't.
Sam Collins?
Yes, sir.
I understand the condition
of your probation
is you're not allowed
access to the Internet.
Maybe I should have
hacked in after all.
Changed the records.
Forgive me, but, isn't access
to the Internet kind of needed
to secure our company
from attacks
coming... from... the Internet?
Well...
As I said, my hack today
was simple social engineering.
Which is exactly what
some teenager did
when he hacked the head
of the CIA, by the way.
Where the Internet is concerned,
I can write software simulating
any kind of attack imaginable.
Then I can create
a virtual environment
to test these attacks,
and then provide the code
for somebody else to implement.
Mr. Collins,
although we appreciate
your enthusiasm...
Corporations spend
$60 billion worldwide
on information security
services last year.
They're expected to shell out
another 86 billion this year.
The reality is,
you control a lot of money,
but you're vulnerable.
Entrepreneurial hackers hunt
for security flaws in companies
just like yours.
Then they sell that
info to governments
from Russia to North Korea,
as well as your competitors.
For that single vulnerability,
I could have been paid $150,000.
You're welcome.
Look, hire a middle-aged man
with a computer degree from
your local community college,
if that's what you think
will protect you.
But don't say
you haven't been warned.
Thank you, Mr. Collins for your
insightful commentary.
We'll be in touch.
How'd the interview go?
What are you doing here?
Sure, help yourself.
What are we gonna do
with you, Sam?
You've got nothing on me.
You know, impersonating
a postal worker
is a federal crime?
I'm sure that your probation
officer would be
none too pleased upon
receiving this information.
Neither would the judge.
Okay, I get it.
Okay, so back to
my original question.
What are we gonna do with you?
Pretend like it never happened.
No, that's...
That's not what I had in mind.
Get me the bitcoins, Sam.
Then this little problem
of yours will go away.
I told you, I don't have them.
I... I never did.
You got three days.
J in a world
j highest achievement there
when you're not home
j with... j
Stanley, we need to talk.
Come on, Stan,
I know you're in there.
David, please open up.
We need to find
those bitcoins, now.
Agent ames just busted me
for stealing mail.
What?
Why are you stealing mail?
Well, first for money,
but then for...
Love.
Oh, so the bad boys
really do get all
the girls, don't they?
No, they don't.
The girls that matter,
they just want an honest man.
Okay, the, uh...
Okay.
The bitcoins disappeared
when I ran them
through the tumbler.
He's never gonna find them.
I'm sorry, Sam.
I can't believe
you tried to launder them.
What are you gonna do?
I don't know, David.
I'm thinking of giving
prayer a try.
Kung fu?
Really?
Yeah. It's cool.
Are you messing with me, Sam?
No, sir.
Then why did you hack into
that job interview?
I was trying to take initiative.
I thought I could help them.
They weren't asking you
for that kind of help.
Their ignorance isn't
something I could ignore.
Their ignorance?
I was doing
that company a favor.
No! You were gambling
with my relationships.
The world is burning around us,
and we're playing by
a different set of rules.
You smoke one joint,
you're not FBI material.
You show initiative,
you're told not to
think outside the box.
You hack into a company
to try to help people,
you're relegated to working
in an ice-cream cone.
It's not how you win a war.
Not this one.
A war?
Okay, enlighten me, son.
How does one win this war?
You put your best soldiers
on the front lines
and let them battle it out.
Just like we've always done.
Is that how you see yourself,
a soldier?
I could be.
Young man,
to be a soldier,
you have to think of someone
other than yourself.
Because when you're a soldier,
if you make a mistake,
people could die.
Right now,
what I see hiding behind
that charming smile of yours,
is someone who is out for
himself, damn the rest of us.
Is that the type
of soldier you wanna be?
Agent ames,
came by my office yesterday.
Is there something
you wanna tell me?
About stolen bitcoins?
I didn't steal his bitcoins.
Not that it matters,
he circumvented the law before
to put me in prison,
he'll do it again.
Okay.
Hmm.
Whoa.
Okay, let's make this cool.
All right. Hi-yah!
Huh?
Hello, Barb.
Stay right there.
Hey, Adam.
Sorry, do I know you?
You think it's funny,
what you're doing to that lady?
What's it to you?
She's somebody's mother.
Somebody's daughter.
What if it was your mom?
Gimme the money.
Sorry.
Tell that to her.
Get in the car.
I sent you packing
for a reason, honey.
What the hell!
This shit better be important.
FBI.
I swear, she told me she was 18.
Where's Sam?
Oh, um, have you
checked his work?
What I was just saying before,
I was just kiddin'.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Excuse me. Outta my way.
Where's Sam?
I'm sorry. I don't speak rude.
Don't mess with me,
sprinkle lady.
I don't know,
he's not on the schedule.
You wanna look?
I was wondering when
you'd show back up.
Come here.
I got somethin' for ya.
Well... aren't you
gonna open it?
How long have you known?
I had a barber in Vietnam.
His name was frank.
That wasn't his real name.
He had a wife, kids,
from the village,
just outside of Saigon
where I was stationed.
Long binh.
Frank was a jolly guy,
always smilin'.
Just like you.
Then one day while
he was giving me a shave,
the razor stopped.
I looked up at frank,
and he had this look
on his face...
A mixture of hate and fear.
Normally you just
see one or the other
when they're fightin'.
But this was close up.
It made it more real.
Turns out frank was viet cong.
Turns out a lot
of our friends were.
So,
tell me,
what is it you want, Sam?
I just wanna be the kinda man
that she could someday
write a letter to.
Nothing's stopping you
from being that kinda man
but yourself.
You'll find her at work.
I'm assuming you've
received my e-mail?
Our adversary, the devil,
prowls like a roaring lion
seeking to devour its prey.
FBI.
That so?
Yeah, that is so.
We're investigating reports
of missing mail
in the neighborhood.
Have you noticed anything
out of the ordinary?
Can't say I have.
If you and your daughter
are involved in any of this,
that makes you accessories
after the fact.
Again,
I have no idea what
you're talking about.
Well, if you think of anything.
Cheese is in
the dairy section, last aisle.
Have a good day.
Thanks.
Bye.
Are you here for some more corn?
No.
I'm here for you.
I want you to know that
I haven't been honest with you.
Not about some things at least.
Things I hope don't change
how you feel about me
because I'm...
I'm...
I'm still the same person.
Mr. Collins.
You're under arrest
for impersonating a
U.S. postal worker.
Josie...
Sam, what's going on?
Let's go.
I'm ss o rry, I
you're not sorry. You're done.
That was your answer?
Stealing more of my bitcoins?
Huh?
Stay right there.
Stand down,
I'm arresting this man.
No, you're not.
I said, stand down,
I'm arresting this man.
No, no, no.
Drop your weapon!
I said, drop your weapon.
Drop your weapon.
Drop it now!
We know about the bitcoins.
It's all over, ames.
Last chance.
I'm not gonna tell you again.
Drop your weapon now.
You're making a big mistake.
Mark ames, you're under arrest
for wire fraud
and money laundering.
Do you know who I am?
Each count carries
a maximum sentence of 20 years.
I assume you're aware
you're going to jail.
You have the right
to remain silent.
Anything you say can
and will be held against
you in a court of law.
You okay, kid?
Yeah. Thank you.
Go ahead. Open it.
The tomb of the unknown solider
doesn't actually
receive letters.
But, I never had
the heart to tell you.
It seemed you needed
something to hold on to.
Something that could
get you from moment to moment.
So, when the first letter
was returned,
I set up a post office box
and forwarded them there.
This box is just one of many.
There's two letters
missing from that box.
You think there's
a chance they may
have reached their intended
destination after all?
How could you say that?
Michael is dead.
He died six years ago.
Daisy needs a mother.
A mother willing to
chase her dreams,
otherwise what are
you showing her?
How to survive?
Survival isn't enough.
Not when she has
an opportunity to thrive.
You can honor him by living.
Not by writing letters.
Have you remained
in the same residence
since our last meeting?
Yes, sir.
Have you maintained
gainful full-time employment?
Have you, uh...
You handled yourself well
during this whole mess.
I could have done better.
Well, life is more about
where you end up,
not where you begin.
Don't you think?
Yes, sir.
I'm gonna
recommend early termination
of your probation.
What?
I mean, it'll be up to the judge
to make the final
decision, but...
I'm confident
he'll judge favorably.
Thank you. Thank you, sir.
I don't have to tell you
to make the most
of this second chance.
No, sir. You have my word.
I'm so glad to see you.
How are you?
I'm doing well.
Why are you doing this, David?
Please, call me Stanley.
Oh, thank god.
I knew if agent ames
stole bitcoins once,
he'd do it again.
So, I hacked into his accounts
and traced all his deposits.
But, in order to send
everybody that email,
I had to hack into
the department of justice.
Apparently they don't look too
favorably on that sorta thing.
So...
I also told them that it
was me who stole the mail.
What? Why would you do that?
"Greater love hath
no man than this,
"that a man lay down
his life for his friends."
It's exactly what
you did for me,
when you took the fall for us.
This is my opportunity
to pay you back.
I have to tell them.
Don't you dare.
It'll mess up my plea bargain.
So,
how's your girl?
Doubtful I'll ever know.
Haven't you asked her?
Sam, you have to ask her.
Otherwise, what has this
whole thing been for?
Remember, you've got to try.
Speaking of...
She's a weird girl, that Rachel.
Said she always wanted
a pen pal in prison.
What can I do for you?
Talk to Josie.
Sam.
There's something
I want you to have.
Yeah?
My Bible.
I'd be honored.
John, chapter 4 is my favorite.
Let's see what the big deal
is, Stan, shall we.
John, chapter 4.
John, chapter 4.
A bitcoin wallet address?
Stanley, you sly son of a gun.
Well, what do you know.
You really do have
all the answers.
J I could never see
j the man
ji should be
J till I loved you
what are you doing here?
I came to apologize.
You stole my letters.
Yes, I did.
What gives you the right?
Nothing. Nothing at all.
I don't even know who you are.
I'm a computer hacker.
A convicted felon
who was recently granted
early release from probation.
I work in a giant ice cream cone
on the other side of town.
And I stole your mail,
hoping I could earn
a couple extra bucks.
But that was before
I read your letters.
Before I fell in love with you.
From that moment,
I resolved to change.
To become a better man.
You're a thief.
I only hacked into
the bad people.
You hacked into me, Sam.
Into my life.
You know all about
my little girl, my family!
Do you know how violated
that makes me feel?
What, am I a bad person, too?
No, you're the best person
I've ever met.
We're leaving.
We're moving to
Nashville next month.
What will you do?
I don't know.
I don't know,
besides knock on the door
of that school every day
until they let Daisy in.
She's no closer to getting
in by being here.
I meant, for you.
I am so thankful that we met,
and whether this was
real or not...
This was real. For me.
For me, too.
I'm a better person
because of you.
So aml.
Take care of yourself, Sam.
Good things happen
to good people.
Don't ever lose hope in that.
J didn't dream
j of all the things
j life could be
j till I loved you
j till I loved you
j till I loved you j
Oh, hey, dad. She's finished
with her lesson,
I'll be home tonight
around 10:00, so...
A letter came for you.
From who?
Why don't you take a look.
Shh. It's okay.
We'll figure something out.
No.
"On behalf of
the kinsen Morgan academy,
"I'm please to congratulate
you on the acceptance
"of your daughter,
Daisy, into our program.”
What?
Keep reading.
"A designated scholarship gift
"has been presented
in Daisy's name,
"covering tuition and fees
for each year she is enrolled.”
How well
do you manage adversity?
Well, you've heard of
the fight or flight response.
I was really good
at the flight part.
Problem is, I was
equally good at convincing
people I was fighting.
And now?
I'm tired of running
and getting nowhere.
So, I figured it was about time
to start fighting for
something bigger than myself.
Can you describe a time
when you had to
demonstrate leadership?
I think I've always
been a natural leader.
It's where I've led people
that's been the problem.
So, that's why I'm here.
What do you have to offer us?
Let's get you outta here.
Intelligence.
Your intelligence?
Yeah, that...
Computers, Internet.
Obtaining political
and military information.
Fighting with my fingers,
you know?
Care to explain?
I can destroy networks.
Penetrate enemy computers
to steal or manipulate data.
I can release a worm
to take down control
and command
systems of our enemies,
so they can't communicate
with ground forces.
Or fire surface-to-air missiles.
That sort of thing.
Why do you want
to serve your country?
I appreciate the opportunity
we all have to chase our dreams,
no matter our background.
And I'm willing to do
whatever it takes,
to ensure we don't
lose that right.
Plus, there's something
undeniably sexy about
being part of the biggest,
baddest military on the planet.
Don't you think?
Do you think you have
what it takes to be a soldier?
Yes, sir.
I believe I do.
