the money pay off,

Reyes isn't. He's dead.

Oh, great.

Wait a minute.

We've been looking for buyers of soy.

Switch to sellers.

Only our player would know exactly

when to get out.

Reyes got an email about a drop tonight.

With no Reyes, we gotta find

a new link to our main player.

I'm gonna see who shows.

You tell Jessup?

No. They'll spot him 10 blocks away.

You get into not enough for one day?

Look, I play it my way, it works.

It don't, at least I own it.

I go, too.

You look not so different

from the pictures.

What pictures?

That my brother sent me before.

Why you're in prison?

I was in a bar, I met some girl,

and some guy got in my face about her.

He started a fight and when it's over,

he's in the hospital and I'm arrested.

I wound up sentenced

to 18 months at MCI-Norfolk.

I traded academia for gladiator academy.

Then what?

Then I got out.

I'm 22,

and not a lot going on in Silicon Valley

for an ex-con with no degree. So.

Carding?

Yeah, that and I was

in wholesaling internationally.

I had an eight-year run, then the Feeb

caught up with me. And I got 13 years.

You have regrets?

Regrets? No.

The banks got hit for

the losses, not people.

I didn't burn people.

I don't burn people.

No.

I mean, banks are chiseling everybody

all the time, anyway.

I don't feel sorry for banks, no.

I mean, I'm sorry for

what happened to you.

Don't be. I'm not fishing

for sympathy, here.

I did the crime, I'm doing the time.

Time isn't doing me.

What's that mean?

I do my own time, not the institution's.

See, to hold on to who you are in there,

you dedicate yourself to your program.

You work out on your body and your mind.

Open your eyes.

What'd you say?

You talk like you are still in prison.

But you're not in prison.

Get your thinking to where you are,

not where you've been.

What do you know about where I've been?

No. Nothing.

- No, nothing.

- But...

Okay, tell me, what is it I'm supposed

to start seeing so fast?

Where you are.

What, Koreatown?

This restaurant, this table? What?

You'll be in the rapid stream

of decision-making.

Having to make intuitive choices.

The people against you

are high-speed, world-class dangers.

To be genius coder

to outsmart, out-think

like my brother always said you could,

you have to think about it clear.

Not easy, I know.

There's no transition time.

But I believe you are a very strong man.

Very smart man.

Here, Chen.

Three trades. Three different accounts.

Large volumes.

They all sell within

minutes of each other.

Just at the soft close,

at 13:
13 and 13:14.

Timed perfectly when to dump.

What's that?

Bank accounts. Foreign.

Same place, all three.
