The Throwaways Page #2
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
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.
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,
