Maybe he needs cash.

Fast.

He's got the money from the soy run-up.

And he's busy writing

code for what's next.

I think the real hit is still to come.

We have Lozano's photo.

What's on his neck?

Kid had tattoos.

You have any routine surveillance tapes?

Right there.

Face of stone.

- Pollack.

- It's me.

Can you have someone

jump on the NCIC database?

Search for Latino males

under 30 with priors in,

I don't know, anything like carding,

identity theft,

who were in West Texas prison gangs.

Our cowboy has a tattoo on his shoulder.

He's with Los Zapotecas.

I'm sending you something right now.

That's him in the bottom left.

Alonzo Reyes. Did two years

in Huntsville for carding.

Paroled. Moved back to LA.

I'll have LA pick him up.

He's gonna monitor his home grid. I did.

We got a better shot

getting a first look at him ourselves.

Isn't that why you brought me here?

Okay?

Yeah. Go ahead.

That means you and me are on the money.

Unless you think you can

do that on your own, too.

I do okay.

You do?

Let's see how you handle

the financial sector.

Thanks, Stanley.

My eye's on you.

Where do you think I'm going?

This guy is one step away

from my "get out of jail free" card.

So...

How can I help?

We want to see your trading records

of your traders who took

large profits from the soy run-up.

You're requesting I turn over records

to the FBI and a foreign power

on thousands of private brokers

and traders?

Afraid I can't possibly accommodate you.

You're gonna protect the person

who manipulated your market?

No. You're casting your net

way too wide, Mr. Chen.

You want to see my data, you come up

with something a little more tangible.

Something more in the way

of probable cause than your hunch.

Gary. May I call you Gary?

How's this for tangible?

In the next 15 seconds

I call Laura Greer

at the Commodities Trading Commission.

And I say, "Laura, how you doing?

"I'd like to launch an official

investigation on one Gary Baker."

So the headline,

"M-Tech Official Investigated

for Aiding and Abetting Cyber Criminals"

leaks to CNN in the next 90

so it makes

the three o'clock news cycle,

as well as the nightly news.

That'd be good, too.

Am I being tangible?

Gary?

Look around here. But I stay here

with you. No take nothing.

Hey, mi carnal?

What happened to you?

He has WRT hardware and an onion router.

He can route encrypted data

and stay anonymous with no IP address.

Yeah, somebody must have

told him how to set it up.

She probably called 911.

Who's the woman?

It's the manager. Mrs. Novo.

Here, let me see it.

Here. Try it now.

Barrett, this is Jessup.

Thanks, Jessup.

Well, we better make following
