It's so good to see you, bro.

Not half as much as it

is for me to see you.

Let's get out of here.

So, you planned to reunite with your friend

from the moment you landed?

It entered my mind.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay. Please keep them out of sight,

if you can help it.

See? He ripped off

and repurposed our code.

- What the hell is this?

- What?

The agreement was an approval

and a presence for his computer access.

- I approved it.

- A DOJ approval.

- Now you're changing the goalposts?

- Hola, chica. You came to me.

How am I supposed to do my work?

On an abacus or something?

"Chica"? Am I Hispanic?

What the hell's going on?

I advocated getting you over here.

I pulled every string to get your convicted

felon sprung, Mr. Chen.

"Captain" Chen. And I didn't ask.

I offered partnership, an equivalent,

or we would do it on our own.

Well, I'll be happy

to bust him back to Canaan

and put your ass

on the first plane back to China.

He apologizes.

My brother misunderstood

our arrangement, Special Agent.

Look around.

I have to run the morning backup.

Your network is sitting behind

deep packet inspection,

intrusion protection.

It's extensively firewalled.

Exactly.

So somebody had to physically

enter this room and plug the virus in.

We reviewed keycard scans

and surveillance tapes.

There was no unauthorized entry.

Now, we're thinking about

a routing weakness.

That's too complicated.

He wouldn't have done that.

Yeah. Well, what you're proposing

didn't happen.

There's only one person who's authorized

to access these terminals.

Me.

And my password is my thumbprint.

May I?

Sure.

Can I have some approval now?

All right. This is the code for our RAT.

See, it's compact. It's slick. Under a meg.

You would never have picked up on it.

- Ever leave that USB drive on your desk?

- I suppose so.

Who works here who doesn't like you?

Recently hired? Fired?

No.

Who?

Lozano.

His mother passed away.

He left two weeks ago.

John Lozano. He was only

on the job for a month.

- He have access to your office?

- Yes.

I'll pull his employment records.

Everything will come up phony.

Except this. You got his photo ID?

Yeah.

This section of his code

right here is a mess.

There's 25 lines, he's left text.

It looks incomplete.

Are they notes to himself?

Dead-end ideas?

Maybe he's still writing.

Yeah, that's good.

So if you've got the ability

to move a commodity

any way you want, what do you do?

I play it out long and low-key.

I do not do one big spike.

Instead, I'd play it out month after month.

Less risk of detection.

Yeah, right. But our guy

jacks soy 250% in a day.

It's flashy. He knows

he's gonna bring down heat.
