Person of Interest (2011–2016): Season 2, Episode 19 - Trojan Horse - full transcript

FINCH:
You are being watched.

The government has a secret system.

A machine that spies on you
every hour of every day.

I designed the machine to detect
acts of terror, but it sees everything.

Violent crimes involving
ordinary people.

The government
considers these people irrelevant.

We don't.

Hunted by the authorities,
we work in secret.

You will never find us.

But victim or perpetrator,
if your number's up, we'll find you.

MAN 1:
Justin Lee is dead, sir.



She's started digging into the accident.

And knowing her, she won't stop.

MAN 2:
Then see to it that she does.

FINCH:
Interesting strategy, Mr. Elias.

Care to explain?

Trying to learn how to win
at a disadvantage.

I assume we're talking about
more than just chess.

Rook and knight. Valuable pieces.

The Assistant District Attorney
and Detective Szymanski.

Their deaths benefited your enemy,
Peter Yogorov.

Very good, Harold.

FINCH:
And I'm in touch enough to know...

...that a number of your associates inside
have recently been transferred elsewhere.

Who are you playing against?



The Russians? HR?

A ghost.

Someone I'd very much like to identify.

From the board, I'd say the outcome
is a foregone conclusion.

Don't count me out just yet, Harold.

Might have a few moves left.

Give John my best.

[PHONE RINGING]

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Miss me already, Finch?

It's not a social call, Mr. Reese.

I want to inform you
we have a new number.

I'll head back.

No, you're tracking a number too,
albeit a prior one.

- Stay the course.
- So who's up this time?

Monica Jacobs. Senior VP of Strategy
and Systems at Rylatech.

One of the top networking companies
in America.

Security is tight, right down to the
RFID tracking chips in the employee ID.

So how will you get close to her?

I've found an appropriate cover.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

She's certainly a rising star
in the tech world.

Gushing profiles in blogs
and national magazines.

Not bad for a small-town girl from Indiana.

Tech geeks and code monkeys.
Doesn't sound too dangerous.

FINCH: Ms. Jacobs is a top executive
in a billion-dollar business...

...where corporate espionage is rampant.
The threat could come from anywhere.

How's my day, Jerome?

Let's go with "slammed." Tovo at 10,
New Technologies at 11.

The florist called, wanting the correct
address for the Lee family.

- Should we let that go?
- No. I'll handle it myself.

Wait.

- Is that the new Centra-6 processor?
- Yes.

I thought they weren't out
until next quarter.

- Variable processing as nimble as they say?
- A vast improvement.

Energy consumption, efficiency--

I knew it. Anybody who says
tablet hex cores are overkill--

Has no idea how to fully utilize
CPU architecture, I agree.

Well. It's very nice to meet you...

...Harold.
IT is lucky to have you.

I believe our network solutions proposal
says it all.

Rylatech's routers and switches
have a 99.7 percent reliability rating--

On the basis of what?

Independent tests run alongside
three of our five main competitors.

- Our firmware is self-upgrading--
- Like everyone else's.

Including Censatek.

Who had better pastries.

Look-- What is your name again?

Ross Haskell.

- Head of Product Development.
MAN: Ross.

Our VP didn't come here
to listen to dry stats.

- Why should we use Rylatech's products?
MONICA: Because you already do.

We've spent the last 15 years
building the backbone of the Internet.

And our latest components
will set the standard for the next 15.

Even the Department of Defense trusts us
to get their data from point A to point B.

But if you want just one reason?

Martin Baxter.

He started Rylatech in his parents' garage
and built it into this.

That determination? We all have it.

We'll never stop working hard for you.

Or go with Censatek.

Who is known for offering kickbacks
to networking execs...

...along with their nice pastries.

So how did you know about
those kickbacks at Censatek?

I have spies everywhere, Martin.

Well, if they ever try to entice you
to jump ship...

...give me a chance to match their offer.

I can't imagine how we'd get along
without you, Monica.

Well done, Ross.

I hear you're running point
on the Szymanski and ADA homicides.

- Yeah.
- You got any leads?

Nothing solid,
but we're pushing on all fronts.

What about the mayor's guy
who got wounded, Quinn?

All he remembers is
the shooter was wearing a mask...

...and he ran out the back door.

- Keep me up to date.
- Will do.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

- Carter.
- Just calling to check in, detective.

And to say how sorry I am.
I know Detective Szymanski was a friend.

- Thanks, Finch. I appreciate it.
- If there's anything I can do for you....

Um....

I'll let you know. Talk to you soon.

[PHONE BEEPS]

Hey.

I know you don't want to talk to me.

- But look, about Szymanski--
- There's nothing to talk about.

Unless you're ready to tell me
the name of your C.I. who got him killed.

- Joss.
- Like I said.

You okay?

Beecher got a tip about dirty money
on Szymanski.

I prove the money wasn't his,
Szymanski turns up dead?

I gotta know if Beecher set him up,
Fusco.

- I'll see what I can find out.
- Okay.

Good evening, Mr. Reese.
Have you made contact with your quarry?

REESE:
Not yet.

You keeping track of yours?

Yes. Thanks to the chips in the ID cards...

...I can see the location of every employee
in the building.

Identify any potential threats?

So far, just overwork
and the consumption of raw seafood.

Ms. Jacobs is dedicated,
passionate, technically astute.

You got a crush on this number,
don't you, Finch?

A human being can recognize
qualities in another human being without--

She's leaving her office.

Strange. I followed her to the R&D floor.
She's in the computer storage room.

Appears to be looking for something.

REESE: Like what?
FINCH: I'm not sure.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

[SECURITY GUARD'S RADIO CHATTERING]

FINCH:
Why would someone in Ms. Jacobs' position...

...be sneaking around, stealing computer
files and hiding from corporate security?

I know you like this woman, Finch.

But if the Agency taught me one thing...

...it's that the most effective spy
is the one you'd never suspect.

A true believer.

Mr. Reese?

- Mr. Reese, are you there?
- Gotta call you back, Finch.

Hello, Shaw.

I thought I just might find you here.

And you decided to drop in for a visit?

Stakeouts can get a little tedious.

And what made you think I wanted
the company? The time I shot you...

- ...or the time I ditched you at the cemetery?
- I'm persistent.

Maybe you just can't take a hint.

Darlene and Evan Cole.

- Your former partner's parents.
- Dead partner.

The government framed Cole
as a domestic terrorist.

I thought you might come back
to set the record straight.

How'd you figure that?

It's what I'd do.

Control killed their son.

They didn't need to take
their memory of him.

Even the CIA wouldn't stoop that low.

They'd just sweep their mess under the rug
and give him a star on the wall.

Your former employers killed Cole
for discovering the truth.

And nothing's stopping them
from killing his parents too.

But you already know this.

That's why you're out here
and not in there.

Next time you want some fresh air...

...pick a different spot.

A friend once told me...

...in our line of work...

...we walk in the dark.

Doesn't mean we have to walk in it alone.

Well, I'm not sure
the source of your problem is a virus.

It's more likely...

...mochachino.

- I'll try to find you a new keyboard.
- Thank you.

FINCH:
Now, what was it you were stealing?

What are you doing
in Ms. Jacobs' office?

Security update.

We just had an update a week ago.

We've since discovered additional threats
to the network.

And what threats might those be,
specifically?

A complex kernel-mode rootkit.

Disables secure sub-systems
through compromised applets.

I'm sure I don't need to explain to you
how dangerous that could be...

...if the update were not installed.

All set.

You're welcome.

[DOOR OPENS]

- Hey.
- Hey.

- What are you thinking?
- They're out of paper towels.

I'm talking about you refusing to say who
gave you the tip on the Szymanski money.

Bills were marked by the Feds.

Found in a raid on a bodega
Elias was operating out of.

- So?
- Money never made it to Evidence.

So either Elias's boys got ahold of it,
or some dirty cops did.

Either way, it stinks.

You saying I had something to do with it?

I'm saying Szymanski got set up.

And by you keeping quiet,
makes me think you were in on it.

See, I got friends who used to work
in your old precinct, Fusco.

I heard about your crew.

Two are in jail and one's missing.

And you're calling me dirty?

Let me spell it out for you.

- Stay away from Carter.
- Or what?

[DOOR OPENS]

- What's going on, fellas?
FUSCO: That's a good question.

What is going on?

[DOOR CLOSES]

I can do that for you, Monica.

It's okay, I've got it.

JEROME:
You want me to pick you up some lunch?

No, I have a meeting.

- I don't have anything scheduled.
- Last minute thing.

I didn't bother putting it on the calendar.

FINCH: Mr. Reese, where are you?
REESE: On my way.

You learn what our number is up to?

I believe Ms. Jacobs is about to hand off
some sensitive information.

- Monica.
- Or perhaps not. I'll patch you in.

What's so urgent I had to cancel my lunch
and meet you here?

Justin Lee.

He was one of your engineers in R&D.

Yeah, he died in an accident
a little over a week ago. It was tragic.

I discovered something concerning.

When I had flowers sent to his parents...

...the florist said no one by that name
lived at that address.

HASKELL:
People move, change their address--

I checked, the parents never lived there.
And it's not just that.

Everything about Lee, from his contact
information to his work history, was a lie.

I think he may have been a plant.

A plant? For who?

Could be any of our competitors.

That's why I didn't want to have
this conversation at the office.

And then there's this.

She just gave him the flash drive
that she used last night.

I found Lee's computer,
made copies of his files.

Found a handful of encrypted e-mails
sent the day he died.

I couldn't open them.

Who else knows about this?

Just you.
Seeing as he worked in your division...

- ...I thought you'd wanna get in front of this.
- I do.

I'll look into it, then we can tell
the old man together, okay?

And Monica...

...thank you.

I need to see the e-mails on that drive.

I'll have to contrive a reason
to get into his office.

I have a better idea.

Uh--

Excuse me.

Nice to have you back.

Thanks for meeting me, Mr. Quinn.

How's the shoulder?

Getting stronger, day by day.

You sounded concerned on the phone.

There's been some questions
about the Szymanski investigation.

Like, who my source was about the money.

- And you said?
- Nothing.

You asked me to keep your name out of it
and I have.

Thing is, uh, I've been wondering myself.

Where did that tip come from?

The tip was strong. Why does it matter?

A dead detective's reputation is on the line.

It matters.

Cal, in my position,
I'm constantly being offered information.

And the reason people come to me
is they know I will keep their confidence.

Right.

Look...

...the tip came from one of Elias's soldiers.

Since Elias has been in prison,
his men have struggled.

This guy was just tired of seeing Szymanski
getting paid while he scraped by.

Now, I could have given that information
to anybody.

But I wanted my godson
to get the credit for it.

I imagine whoever's questioned you
wishes they'd made the bust.

Don't let them rattle you.

- We good?
- Yeah.

Thanks, Mr. Quinn.

Anytime.

He gonna be a problem?

Let's hope not.

So Monica wasn't spying.

She was hunting a spy.

Which means the threat may be coming
from whoever Lee was spying for.

I've asked Detective Carter
to look into his death.

[CELL PHONE BEEPING]

Ms. Jacobs' phone seems to be syncing.

But she's not doing it.

REESE: Then who is?
- Good question.

They're adding contacts, appointments,
phone calls she never made.

Mr. Reese, something's terribly wrong.

- Excuse me, this is my office.
MAN: You'll need to wait here, please.

MONICA: What the hell is going on?
MARTIN: I'd ask you the same question.

But by the looks of it,
the answer's pretty clear.

Security found confidential designs
and documents on your computer.

- Those files were from Lee.
HASKELL: Why were they attached to e-mails...

...you were preparing to send to our main
competitors? Phone calls, meetings.

- You were meeting with everyone.
MONICA: What?

Lee wasn't the spy. You were.

That's impossible.
Jerome knows my schedule.

I should have said something,
Mr. Haskell.

But she's been acting strangely
for a while. Keeping her own schedule.

- Making off-the-book appointments.
- Jerome.

I'm sorry, Monica.
I don't know what you want me to say.

- Martin, listen--
JEROME: Monica, please.

- Security will show you out.
- You're firing me?

Effective immediately.
Civil and criminal charges pending.

- Martin, I've worked for you for 10 years.
- Then you can afford a good lawyer.

MAN: This way.
- You--

This is a mistake.
I-- I wasn't stealing anything.

If you just let me explain.

Ms. Jacobs has just been terminated
from Rylatech.

Someone may be trying to silence her.

And I'm afraid they won't stop
until they've done so.

Permanently.

FINCH:
Morning, Mr. Reese.

Any news on Ms. Jacobs?

Yes.

She's having coffee.
Right in front of Rylatech.

Something tells me she's not
taking her termination lying down.

I've gone over everything
Ms. Jacobs collected on Lee...

...the potential spy she was looking into...

...and she was right.

Lee's been operating
under a remarkably deep cover.

Take his degree from MIT.

Certified with a slightly outdated seal.

His New Jersey birth certificate,
medical history. Whoever set this up--

They're pros. That's how
they were able to frame her so quickly...

...when they discovered she was on to them.
Question is, who did the framing?

FINCH: If I could decrypt his e-mails,
they might tell us.

She's tailing her assistant, Finch.

Hope you don't expect me to play.

No offense, detective. My opponent
brings a little more to the table.

And you're breaking my concentration.

BEECHER:
I'll cut to it, then.

Detective named Szymanski,
Organized Crime. Was he on your payroll?

- Afraid you made a bad move.
- Just trying to get some answers.

Then start asking better questions.

Who benefits from Szymanski's
arrest and murder?

How could one arrange these acts
without being suspected?

And who is at the center of the strings
that were quietly pulled?

See, I think you know something
you don't even know you know.

Which means you're playing a chess game
of your own. You just don't realize it.

- Did you give money to Szymanski?
- Absolutely.

And he threw it in our faces.
He was clean.

And you got played by HR.

It was nice meeting you, Detective Beecher.

Word of advice?

Choose your next move wisely,
or it's going to be chosen for you.

Detective Carter,
had a chance to look into Lee's death?

CARTER:
That's why I'm calling.

His BMW's black box said there was
no impact from any other car.

No brake or system failure.
Just a simple accident.

I decided I'd take prints off the body,
see what popped in the system.

- Did the prints tell you anything?
- Couldn't get them. Body's gone.

- What?
- Searched that morgue for 45 minutes.

Somebody got in there, got your boy Lee,
and vanished without a trace.

Not bearing good news, I assume.

Beecher's looking for answers.

One of our guys at Rikers saw him...

...with Elias.

Looks like your talk with him
didn't do the trick.

That's a damn shame.

We could promote him out of town.

Desk job upstate.

I always told Cal to be careful.

Being a cop's a dangerous job.

[IN MANDARIN]

MONICA:
Jerome.

- Monica, what are you doing?
- What happened yesterday?

Why did you say those things?

- Were you following me? Let go.
- Not till I get some answers.

I don't answer to you anymore, bitch.

Now, be nice
and answer the lady's question.

In English, not Mandarin.

Who are you working for?

You're wasting your time.
There's too many of us.

[GUNSHOTS]

[GRUNTS]

MONICA: Who are you?
- Right now, an easy target.

FINCH: Mr. Reese, I have news.
- Can it wait, Finch?

I've cracked Lee's encrypted e-mails.

They're messages
reporting back to his father...

...a high-ranking official
in the Chinese Communist Party.

What are you saying?

Lee wasn't spying for a company,
he was spying for his country.

We picked a fight
with the People's Republic of China.

- Where are you taking me?
- Someplace safe.

FINCH: Let's use the new accommodations,
Mr. Reese.

I'll catch up to you as soon as--

It's not nice when someone
hunts you down, now is it?

- What brings you here, Ms. Shaw?
- I assume you wanted me to find you.

Why else would you have
given me your number?

[BEAR WHIMPERS]

I guess I imagined that you would just call.

But I suppose this works too.

My offer still stands, you know.

You think I should have a hobby.
Now, what would that be?

Hanging around a derelict library with you,
your poorly socialized guard dog...

...and Bear, here?

Bit of a comedown from saving the world,
I guess, but we have our moments.

And what's your end? Harold?

Is this your hobby? Running a halfway house
for retired assassins?

Hate to see talent go to waste.

Awfully trusting of you, now, isn't it?

I'm quite confident, Ms. Shaw, that you are
the first person that's said that to me.

Besides, you're not holding a firearm.
Looks like progress. What can I do for you?

Interesting story in the news this morning.

A CIA operative died in the line of duty
on a covert operation.

He'd uncovered a domestic terrorism plot.

Now, the agency would neither
deny or confirm this, but a journalist...

...received leaked documents
from within Langley itself.

I saw the story too. It's very sad.

He seemed to have died heroically.

You and I both know
that Cole did not work for the CIA.

So I have this crazy theory...

...that someone hacked into one of the most
powerful agencies in the world...

...and created an employee
who up until yesterday...

...did not exist.

That does sound somewhat far-fetched.

My friend from the hotel.

Our conversation was cut short...

...yet we seem to have so much in common.

Tell me about her.

My relationship with that woman
is rather complicated.

What's your interest?

You think I need a hobby, Harold?

I think I just found one.

FINCH:
Traitor.

Lee was a spy?

- For China?
- Looks that way.

Any idea why China
might be interested in Rylatech?

Our proprietary designs
keep us at the forefront of the industry.

- Maybe they want to steal our work.
- Or sabotage it.

Lee could have been
secretly altering your designs.

- Making them unworkable.
- And Jerome?

- Probably there to keep an eye on you.
- He was my assistant for over two years.

[SIGHS]

- And now he's dead.
- We won't let that happen to you.

We?

- Ms. Jacobs.
- Harold?

I'd have been here sooner,
but a friend of yours stopped by...

...to say how much she enjoyed
your chat the other night.

Wait...

- ...so you're not an IT guy?
- Not in any traditional sense.

Perhaps we should
set those questions aside...

...until we've dealt with whomever it is
that's trying to kill you.

Now, I expect it was more than just
your assistant working with Mr. Lee.

To place someone in a division as secure
as Research and Development--

They need someone with access.
Hiring approval.

Well, R&D is Ross's division.

He's the only one I told about Lee.

- Well, I need to go to the police or FBI.
- They're expecting you to.

While you're being questioned,
they'll destroy evidence...

...that could implicate them
or exonerate you.

Unless we get to that evidence first.

All my network requests are being blocked.

Did you try the web interface?

Yes, but I can't access settings
or the RPC portmapper.

Um.... May I?

This was one of my babies.

We completely rebuilt the interface,
disabled the portmapper.

- Secondary authentication?
- Added for access to the FTP and SNMP.

If you two would rather be alone....

I made it virtually impossible
to hack into our company.

And now, here I am, doing just that.

Ten years of my life.

Nights, weekends.

You know how many offers I turned away?

It's a rare kind of loyalty these days.

Truth is, I never wanted
to work anywhere else.

Those people aren't just co-workers,
they're my family.

And now they think I've betrayed them.

The look on Martin's face.

You may be down, Monica,
but you're not out. Not yet.

If I can get past this server firewall...

...we should be able to locate
the hidden network...

...that Lee and the other spies are using.

Uh-oh.

- What is it?
- We've been hacked.

They've broken the password
coded into the laptop's battery.

Hijacked the firmware.
Get back. Get back.

- What happened?
- They disabled the micro-controller...

...that regulates the battery's charge.

- Spies must be monitoring the network.
- So, what now?

If I can't get through the firewall?
Not sure.

What about bypassing it altogether
and directly accessing the servers?

- That requires going back inside Rylatech.
- I could show you where to go.

Too risky.
Everyone in that building knows you.

Ms. Jacobs, do you still have
your employee ID card?

Yes, but it's been deactivated.

Besides, the locator chip
would tell security where I was.

Yes, I'm aware.

She's not allowed on the premises.

Let's go.

Up on the left.

[GROWLING]

Bear.

[FINCH SPEAKS IN GERMAN]

[BEAR BARKING]

You're clear, Mr. Reese. Let me know
when you find the server room.

- We're in.
- Now see if there's a catalog server.

- Catalog server?
- Here.

Transmitter's installed.

MONICA:
You should have access.

Now I'm connected.
Let's see what we can find.

How are we looking, Finch?

I found lots of high-level encrypted traffic...

...using a suspicious amount of bandwidth.

We don't have much time here.

Working as fast as I can, Mr. Reese.

Oh, that's interesting.

REESE: What?
- Nothing.

I've located the end users
receiving the traffic.

You mean the spies?

Yes. It appears that we may have
underestimated the scale of the operation.

That's over half of our senior-level
employees, in every department.

All this rerouted traffic seems to be coming
from an unending number of networks...

...belonging to...

...the government...

...military, banking institutions.

These are Rylatech clients. But how--?

Our routers and switches. They've been
compromised. They have backdoors.

The spies aren't spying on Rylatech.
They're using Rylatech's technology...

- ...to spy on the entire country.
- My God.

Who are these people?

Mr. Reese, I fear that our own spying
has been detected.

You and Ms. Jacobs
need to get out of there now.

I couldn't agree more, Finch.

[MONICA SCREAMS]

[MAN GRUNTS]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Mr. Reese, are you okay?

We're fine, but they've got operatives
inside the building.

They're communicating
on an internal SMS network...

...receiving messages from a single location:

The office belonging to Ross Haskell.

- Where's Haskell's office?
- This way.

There's something you ought to know
about Haskell.

His name's not on the list.
Haskell is not one of the spies.

- Oh!
MAN: Drop your weapon now.

[GUN CLATTERS]

MONICA:
Martin?

Martin. You?

I know how this looks, Monica.

How it looks?

You're a murderer.

- And a spy for China.
MARTIN: No.

I'm protecting what I spent my life building.

- How could you do this?
- Simple economics.

When the dot-com bust hit,
we were bankrupt.

A prime takeover target.
And then an opportunity presented itself.

To save your company
by selling out your country.

- Who the hell are you?
- That doesn't matter. He's right.

He's a fool.

The world has changed, Monica.

There is no value placed on...

...outdated notions like patriotism anymore.

And companies like ours, we have to
constantly look forward to the future.

So that we can prepare
for what comes next.

And what's that?

Selling information
instead of protecting it?

Controlling it.

Because whoever controls information,
will control the future.

And what about what this company
supposedly stood for?

The great American success story?

People love stories.

I believed it.

Of course. And that's why
you were so good at your job.

And why you could never
be trusted with the truth.

Just like Ross...

...one of several victims
of a disgraced former employee...

...who broke in, shot him,
and then turned the gun on herself.

Mr. Reese, I've alerted the authorities
and sent the evidence to the FBI.

Your plan won't work.
The Feds are on the way.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

- Yes?
- Mr. Baxter.

Do you recall our discussion
the day we sealed our arrangement?

Yes.

The time has come.

Your family will be provided for.

I understand.

[GUN FIRES AND MONICA SCREAMS]

Mr. Reese?

Mr. Reese?

We're okay, Finch.

They're all gone.

[WHISTLES]

[BARKS]

[PHONE RINGING]

CARTER: We couldn't do
whatever this is at our desks?

This? No.

[PHONE BEEPS]

BEECHER [ON RECORDING]:
Did you give money to Szymanski?

ELIAS:
Absolutely.

And he threw it in our faces.
He was clean.

And you got played by HR.

Beecher was trying to find out
who set up Szymanski.

It means he wasn't in on it, Carter.

And that someone in HR used him.

- We need to get this to IAB so they can--
- Whoa, IAB?

Not like this was a court-approved wiretap.

You wanted to know about Beecher.
Now you know. I'd let it go.

Let it go? Fusco...

...do you know who gave Beecher that tip?

You'd have to ask him.

Beecher could be
walking through a minefield.

I'd be careful before I go and follow him.

He's carrying, but he won't talk to me
unless he sees I'm fit to buy.

All right, when the deal's done,
I'll make the bust.

If it goes right, you can keep half.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

- Beecher.
- Hey. You busy?

On a job.

When you're done, buy you a drink?

We need to talk.

Yeah, okay.

I'm in Washington Heights
but could meet you back at the 8th.

I'll wait for you.

DONNIE:
Hey. Hey!

Donnie, what are you doing?

- Let me get clear.
- Clear of what?

10-13, shots fired. I repeat, shots fired.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

- Carter.
FINCH: Detective.

It's urgent that we reach Beecher.
Is he with you?

No. Why?

Officer in distress, Washington Heights.

Washington Heights? Cal.

Cal.

Come on, Carter. Come on.

MAN [OVER TV]:
Shocking news out of Rylatech today.

Police discovered the bodies
of CEO Martin Baxter...

...and VP Ross Haskell
in an apparent murder-suicide--

WOMAN [OVER TV]: Rylatech stock plunged
amid rumors of spies in the company's ranks.

MAN [OVER TV]: Federal
investigators shut down operations...

...and ordered all Rylatech products at
government sites be immediately replaced.

Further inquiries are pending.

While we were off
fighting international espionage...

...things have gotten worse
in our own backyard.

Whatever game Elias is caught up in,
it grows more dangerous every day.

Ms. Jacobs, how are you doing?

Not bad, considering the company
I devoted the last 10 years of my life to...

...is under federal investigation.

And please, we've breached
firewalls together, call me Monica.

- So where will you go from here?
- I've had some offers come in.

Though the one I'm most intrigued by
is from a company called IFT.

I think I've heard of them.

They're doing some interesting things
in CPU architecture.

Sounds like a good fit.
I wish you the best of luck.

Take care, Monica.

You too, Harold.

You're gonna miss her,
aren't you, Finch?

I would if I had time.

As it is...

...there's a matter that we need to discuss.

The night we broke into Rylatech,
I recognized...

...some of the encrypted code
on the spies' network.

It had a signature similar to that virus
that Stanton uploaded.

I was able to crack the virus' code
and learn two things.

I'm all ears, Finch.

First, only a fraction of the stolen data
made it to the Chinese government.

The rest went to another organization.

I believe that they may have placed
the final call to Baxter.

I dug further, but all I could come up with
was a name: Decima Technologies.

And the second thing?

Whoever Decima is,
I believe they created the virus...

...to find and infect a single target:

The machine.

Unfortunately,
we've had to pull up stakes in Rylatech.

But as expected, the U.S. is entirely focused
on China's involvement, and not ours.

Oh, one small wrinkle.

The breach of our encrypted network...

...appears to be the work
of a single individual.

I shall do everything in my power
to determine his identity...

...and render him irrelevant.

Our larger operation is, of course,
still on schedule.
