Echelon Conspiracy Page #4

I'll hold onto this till tonight.

You stay confined

to the hotel and act normal.

Normal?

It's Grant for you, sir.

Coffee's cold.

Morning, Grant.

Afternoon, sir.

Right. Now that we've got the small

talk out of the way, what's our status?

We got Peterson.

And?

He doesn't know anything.

Whoever's playing him

is doing it anonymously.

Why him? Any idea?

Not yet, sir.

When can we go live?

We can be ready in

three hours, sir.

Done.

Tracking protocol in three hours,

folks.

Zone 180, trunk-line three negative

lock.

Someday all this will be yours.

Really?

No.

Sir?

John.

I need some answers.

I'm sorry, Mr. Mueller.

I haven't got

anything for you yet.

A man walks into my casino

with nothing more than a phone...

...and walks out with

three million Euros.

If my casinos are vulnerable,

what about my banks?

What about my

commodities operations?

I need to know that some

fool with a phone...

...can't bring down a

multi-billion dollar empire.

I will find whoever's behind this.

Not just who, John. How.

Of course.

Do you like archery, John?

I'm sorry?

Archery.

I was quite an archer

when I was young.

I was passionate about it.

Used to make my own arrows.

Do you know the secret of making an

arrow that will fly to the target?

You need strong feathers.

So, I bought myself a falcon.

Called him Apollo,

afterthe god of archery.

Marvelous creature.

Beautiful, proud.

Magnificent feathers.

So, one day,

Apollo was flying the grounds here.

Flying freely.

I was watching him,

admiring him.

I picked up my bow and shot him.

Straight through the heart.

Died instantly.

Do you know why I did that, John?

To remind myself.

It's the seemingly harmless

traces we leave behind...

...that later can be

used to destroy us.

Feathers, John.

Feathers.

I think I understand.

Follow the messages, John.

Bring me the sender.

Yes, sir.

Yeah?

Hi, it's Kamila.

Wow! Hi.

Where are you?

So, you basically protect

data from hackers?

Yeah. Believe me,

it's not as exciting as it sounds.

Well, don't get me wrong,

it's not a bad job.

I get to travel sometimes.

But why computers?

Well, I don't know.

They're reliable.

They always follow

their programming.

What, as opposed to people?

Well, yeah.

When computers tell you something,

it doesn't really hide what it means.

Oh.

What?

Someone's still hurting

from a bad break-up.

Beautiful and wise.

So, where are you from?

The States.

I bounced around a lot.

And you live in Prague?

Yeah. I study photography

at the university.

So, now you're a photographer?

Not exactly.

Well...

...we all have our secrets,

I guess.

Oh, great.

I gotta go.
