Once it's in place, it lays dormant,

waiting for a signal to wake it up

and then it wreaks havoc.

It's more dangerous

than a standing army or a dozen nukes.

All you need to control it

is the encrypted data key.

It's a physical key, it's one of

a kind, it cannot be duplicated.

The code changes every ten-millionth

of a second in sync with the implant,

so if you copy the key,

it falls out of sync, you lose control.

It's been spreading since 2008.

So, coverage at this point

is probably around 80%.

Of what?

The world.

Every terrorist group

and hostile government in the world

is gonna try to get

their hands on the Pantheon key.

And if they do, they'll have the

power to blackout any city,

derail any train, melt down any

power plant, all from a laptop,

with just a few lines of code.

The fact that the hackers

who stole this didn't blow up Chicago

tells me he's coin-operated, and that

blanking out the city was just a demo.

So that he can sell it

to the highest bidder.

You want to nuke Tokyo, flood Rio,

burn Moscow or London, this is your guy.

Whatever we do, we have to track him down

and find him before he sells that key.

Okay, then.

Uh, Drew, here, will be a member of a team

that Agent Connelly is putting together

and I want you to know we're gonna put

everything we've got out there

to stop this thing, okay?

So, thanks.

Sir, with all due respect, he can't be trusted

and we don't need a geek in the field.

All due respect,

all you need is me in the field, okay?

This is not a team operation.

That's why I left SOCOM

in the first place. I work alone.

I really don't remember

asking either one of you for your opinion.

So, shut the hell up, okay?

Now, you will lead and,

Drew, you will follow.

Adios.

Thank you, sir.

- You don't want me on a team.

- What?

You don't want me on a team.

I don't play well with others, okay?

You know that about me.

I mean, people are fine

in the abstract, but up close and personal,

they're the worst.

I know that. I mean, I understand.

I know you're very

comfortable hiding in your trailer,

playing with your little toys.

See, but those days are kind of over.

So, you got two options.

A, you can take that

wonderful talent you have

and let it rot in a cell

for 30 to 50 years,

or, B, be a man and be useful, okay?

You said I'd have immunity.

This is Eastern Europe.

I don't need to charge you.

I've got three black sites

within an hour's drive of here.

I'm not going back.

Drew.

This is your code.

There are millions, millions of people

whose lives are at stake.

And if I'm going to stop it, I need you.

I know it's going to be

really, really dangerous.

I mean, horror of all horrors,
