My name is Soyan Schwartz, and I am
an Internet Activist.
I have infiltrated the IT systems of numerous
government agencies and corporations.
Over the years I have sought out
to expose classified information.
Today I found something that requires
immediate disclosure.
Today many companies are trying to rewrite
our history and alter the truth, the truth,
the truth, the truth....
Well it looks like another wet one, folks.
Get your umbrellas and your booties
if you're going out.
Possible thunderstorms...
Three suspects now wanted in the murder of
the Victoria girl found last week in the river.
Though their website has not gone offline
since last month's attack, Angela King warned
of future reprisals of the security firm
pursued independently.
Stock Market went through the roof today.
No one seems to have predicted this, so it's hard
to know where it's heading.
Noji shares plunged after a cyber attack
shut down several networks in
Southeast Asia yesterday afternoon.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack,
but sources indicate the virus may have originated
from servers in China.
And in politics today, the election
is proving to be a close race.
Now I don't mean to sound cynical, but...
...were arrested on suspicion of
the denial of the service attack.
The hacking organization Independent Leak,
denies any involvement.
...laughter makes you smile.
Well, guess what.
It also raises the levels of chemicals...
The UN and the Arab League have declared
an Embargo against the impressive regime.
Light and heavy arms continue to flow into the region.
Traffic is backed up, there's an accident
on the freeway that hasn't been cleared yet.
And everyone is stopping to look.
Internet Activist Angela King is still at large,
though Interpol has traced her movements
to South America.
Thanks for the news.
We've got a lot of great music coming up for you
in just a few minutes.
Here he is.
Over here, sit down.
I'm Lena Lebovitz.
This is my partner, Russel Beleon.
Our lawyer, Clift Brown.
We asked you in here today, because recently
something very serious happened at our company.
Most of our clients sign on for our services
online, it's about 200 a day.
So you can imagine our surprise Friday morning when
our server crashed after millions
of new users registered.
We know it was a hack.
We lost a few big clients, that's what happened.
All because a few kids wanted to have some fun.
Good thing is, when someone hacks a system,
there's always the possibility of getting caught.
And you know how DA's like to make an example
out of some stupid kid.
Especially if they connect the bust
to National Security issues.
We did find a few IP addresses and traced them.
Hopefully that's how we'll get our guy.
We know.
Do you understand what I'm telling you?
We represent a lot of high profile clients here.
They rely on us to create new identities,
change facts, rewrite history, so to speak.
How would you like to go to work for us?
You already know our system.
Great, I'll take that as a yes.
The arms trafficking ring has been tied
to a consortium of front companies,
owned by businessman and entrepreneur,
Haans Vanderbilt.
A number of unarmed civilians were made
to lay down on the road outside.
This is what followed.
After issuing a comprehensive report on violations
of the Embargo, Human Search founder Alice Carson
may finally have her day in court.
ICC judges rule on Monday whether
the case may proceed.
Here are a few photos of the victims.
You can match them, online photographs and videos,
through what you call facial recognition software?
We will then make positive IDs and create
a master list of addresses and
group them into families.
How many people are there?
This will take weeks.
Here's a file with names and addresses,
we don't have everything.
That's why I need you.
Who else has access to this?
No one, just you and me.
Why, is something wrong?
How do we make any money with this?
I still have a donor or two left,
but I'm takin' a lot of heat.
From who?
From people who know how to
pick the locks on my office.
Sorry.
I was setting up the code for the firewall.
OK, shall we?
This is Teco, Fortune 500.
The CEO John Chester just died at the age of 87,
his son James is set to inherit his job.
His wife is the problem.
We discovered that in the 90's she made a number of
soft core films under the name, Bella Blue.
Jump to 2000, fell completely off the grid.
Got plastic surgery and became Mrs. James Chester.
Does the husband know?
No, not fully.
Now they have three children, host political
fundraisers and sit on the board of
several major charities.
So, who wants us to clean up their past?
Teco, the Board of Directors is naturally concerned.
Let's see.
She's still got some fan pages.
Is that her?
Yes, that's her.
We're gonna need a good back story for this one.
Let's kill her off.
What do you mean, kill her off?
Start a rumor online, Bella Blue died
in a car crash, suicide, whatever.
Plant some articles, fabricate some photos,
and build a paper trail for Mrs. Chester Jr.
What about everything in print?
The newspaper'll pick it up and put it
on their website.
It'll go 'round and 'round from there.
OK, let's do it, pull the trigger.
The company has booked you a hotel suite
so you can work at your leisure.
I'll be by later to check on things.
You have two weeks.
Good luck.
Kid does have imagination.
We'll see how he swims with bigger fish.
Clift, you ready?
A number of unarmed civilians were made
to lay down on the road outside.
This is what followed.
Arms dealer Vanderbilt was arrested then released
after only a few hours.
He has been identified by the
International Criminal Court as a person of interest
in violating the Embargo.
Over the last 20 years, Vanderbilt has built
one of the most powerful arms fortunes in Europe,
and also may be responsible for countless deaths
through illegal weapons trafficking.
Yeah, I heard the news.
Let's talk tomorrow.
I haven't finished.
He paid the bond and vanished.
Even if we kept our last donor, I'd still lose the case.
They're too strong.
Don't worry you can pay me later.
Loise, you don't understand.
No I don't.
I'll call you, OK?
Yes.
I've been wanting to speak with you for some time.
Well, I'd rather meet you in person.
I'll text you the address and I'll see ya then.
Yes, OK.
Hey, come on in.
You got your laptop with ya?
I wanna show you something.
I had a conference call with
some arms dealers yesterday.
They sold their products to the wrong side,
there was an Embargo, now they're in trouble.
Those are the clients, there's the front company.
there's the main company.
And this one here, she's the liar.
She filed a complaint with
the International Criminal Court.
I tried to sideline her, but she is stubborn.
Anyway, I arranged a meeting with her for
a job interview tomorrow.
Going to throw her off trail very gently.
What do you want me to do?
Make up something good.
Tell them they were there to hand out
food, medicine, the usual, and we need to
erase that bank transfer from the Cayman Islands.
I don't know how the hell she figured that out,
but I'm gonna get to the bottom of it.
Pull over here, please.
You think you can handle this?
Good.
Just make 'em look like the good guys.
I'll be back in a few minutes.
And there was another drive by shooting
today downtown, it appears to be...
Vanderbilt's representatives stated that
the wholesaler sold Ammonium nitrate solely
for agricultural purposes.
They declined to comment on its use in a recent
bombing of the Embassy.
Vanderbilt's charity raised over 100 million dollars
in its efforts to combat the spread
of AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa.
...been appointed CEO of Teco,
North America's largest food processing conserve.
Chester will be granted two million shares of...
Hey.
What are you doing here all the time?
Near a cell.
Need a good wireless reception.
You work in high tech?
Not really.
I'm more interested in history.
What kinda history?
I don't know, people?
I'm more interested in technology.
You're a game tester?
I'm a player.
Look.
ICMP protocol 873DFS3.
Key log the pass code from the database Cash.
Bypass the honey pot.
Check for Admins.
Done, I'm in.
Inside of what?
Bank of Kilnay.
What should I do?
I don't know, hack a real bank.
We Bonnie and Clyde?
We're not.
You know why a computer's so easy to hack?
They were never designed for the Internet.
It's their ultimate weakness.
I don't think people are made for the Internet either.
Personally, I don't trust computers.
But you have one.
Yeah, what choice do you have?
What do you choose?
No viruses, no batteries.
Never crashes, very reliable.
I could store a thousand of those on my keydrive.
Yeah, you're just out of this world.
I didn't mean to upset you.
Where are you going?
Russel sent me over to see how you settled in.
And I brought the files you requested.
You know, I was against hiring you at first.
But now I'm just as impressed as Russel is.
Do you mind?
I can't stand those heels.
Would you?
You don't have much experience with women, do you.
It's OK.
Lean back.
It's OK.
Ya know,
I've been wondering what turns you on.
Cyber sex?
Double jab to the body, a couple short.
Oh, but that uppercut, it lands hard
to the side of the face.
Our challenger is reeling, he's trying
to find his footing.
Oh, their tied up in the center of the ring.
Now there, there's a jab, there's a combination.
A left and then the right, oh and there's
a hard uppercut, hard to the jaw.
Our challenger is reeling.
Then he comes back with a counter punch.
It's going left, to the right, a hard one to the temple.
Oh, that's gotta hurt, folks.
We are getting our money's worth, this fight is
going down to the wire.
Hey sis.
How've you been?
Fine, are you OK?
Just dealin' with my new flat.
Still in New York?
Well, you know, it's been hard.
You need money?
I wanna see you.
Why don't you ever call me?
I'll call you if anything comes up, OK?
Oh, they're tied up in the center of the ring.
Do you normally have meetings at your house?
Normally, no, but when it's confidential.
So let's get to it.
You said we both have some
valuable information to share?
Did I say that?
Well you called me 10 times,
so I'd like to know.
OK, fair enough.
I'm a head hunter, and I'm looking to recruit
some one for our high tech company.
I don't work in the high tech field.
Do you know anything about hackers?
Anything about criminal investigations?
I do know about criminals, but only in relations
to Human Rights.
That's why I noticed your profile.
Do you know why Babylon fell?
Too much information.
Too many languages.
A breakdown of communications,
and that's where we are today.
What we don't need is another Babylon.
That's why I think it's important to apply
International Human Rights Standards to the Internet.
Seriously, I'm in bad shape.
I guess I came at the right time then.
Tell me, how much would you like to earn per year?
What do you mean?
I mean, give me a number if your dreams came true.
If my dreams came true.
Sorry, I missed my bus.
You like the water, do you wanna take a dip?
I don't know how to swim.
A computer hacker that doesn't drive
and doesn't swim, true modern man.
Come on, your parents never taught you
how to swim?
I never had parents.
Do you have any relatives at all?
Well look at the advantages, you're a free man.
No roots, you can do whatever the hell you like.
What about you, you got any family?
I do whatever the hell I like as well.
I wanna ask you something, have you heard about
this hacking group Independent Leak?
What you know about 'em?
I know they're tough, radical, they hack into
corporations, banks, governments.
That means us too.
They intend on releasing millions of
classified emails that we don't want going out.
We've gotta do whatever it takes to stop them.
I'll look into it.
I've got a name for ya.
Angela King, apparently the ring leader.
We don't have much information on her.
No fixed address.
Always on the move.
Sometimes we spot her name on flight manifests,
but always a little too late.
Maybe she works for the Chinese.
No, no she's a freelancer.
How's our Firewall?
It's safe... now.
Good.
Because we can't take any chances.
Let's go inside, I wanna give you somethin'.
You've got no excuse to be late now.
We're both on company time.
Thank you.
How you gettin' home?
I'll just catch the bus.
Here, take my car that's in the drive.
Let's just say, it's an advance for this next job.
Hey, the door was open.
My door is always open.
I brought your stuff back.
Look at you!
Which is, oh, Life Against Death, Norman O'Brown.
One of Jim Morrison's favorites.
Nice to see how this place never changes.
I haven't read this one, may I?
Uh huh.
Coffee?
You look worried, what's going on?
Still no news about him?
No.
It's over.
You know that's not the case, it's part of you.
And there's always a chance for good news.
I don't know.
So, how 'bout you?
I'm putting finishing touches on my book
about this hedge fund that dabbled in the drug trade.
I'm gonna call it Powder Brokers, or Wall of Powder,
I don't know, I haven't decided yet.
Sounds like Pulitzer material.
Oh, I'm not gettin' that.
You're my only friend.
Why don't you take a break?
Get out outta town?
I'll think about it, gotta run.
You texted me your address, so I assumed
it was an invitation.
Wait.
You don't drink?
I've never really met a girl like you before.
Why are you telling me this?
I don't know, you seem friendly.
Don't try to label this.
I'm not.
I like your company, but my text wasn't a proposition.
Sure.
So you box?
Yeah, wanna try?
No, I'm sure you're too strong for me.
Do you play any video games?
Not anymore, that's kid stuff.
I'm playing all the time.
I created a game that combines virtual reality,
telepathy, and the real world.
I'll show you.
Basically in any room I can create
a chess board, 64 squares.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H,
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Now match all the objects up as if the game
is already in motion.
So, the coffee maker could be one of your knights.
And those glasses over there could be your pawns.
Even your eye can become a piece,
rooks, bishops...
...king, queen.
You follow me?
Not really.
Close your eyes.
All right, let's begin, simply with a pawn.
I'd do E2, E4.
Now your turn.
Try N, G, A, F, six.
Follow me?
OK, this is my knight.
I'm gonna move it towards you.
I do N, G, A, F, six.
No, no, no, no, don't do that.
But I didn't do anything.
It's telepathy, between you and me, you feel it?
Trust it, it's all there, just let me guide you.
Take my pawn, and I move my pawn, D2, D3.
Now.
N, A4, C5.
Hey, how'd you do that?
Concentrate.
All right, I do Q, D1, E2.
What do you do?
Q, seven, E.
Yes!
OK, I can't focus anymore.
That's fine, you really know how
to visualize the game!
Yeah, it's like with permutations
or identifying the password.
Each move has a limited number of combinations.
I get that.
I'm impressed.
Don't be.
Do you mind if I crash here?
I had a dream last night.
Really.
Yeah, you were in it.
No kidding.
I gotta go.
When can I see you again?
Thanks for-
-Thank you for what?
So how often do they see each other?
I don't know.
I thought you kept tabs on him.
I do.
The kid is young and naive.
We took a huge risk with him.
So, what about this girl?
She's young too.
I think she's a nobody, but here's something
you're not gonna like, apparently she was working for
my new lawyer friend.
Really.
I told ya you weren't gonna like it.
And you think it's just a coincidence that
they happen to work for each other?
Maybe she's spying on us.
I doubt it, Lena.
Listen, I'll figure it out.
I'll contain the problem, don't worry about it.
So what did your new lawyer friend say about her?
She said that the girl wasn't a problem, but I had to
dig a little deeper.
And?
And I fucked her.
You fucked the lawyer?
Yes, I fucked the lawyer.
It's just business, Lena.
Are you proud of yourself, Russ?
I think she's in love with me.
There's nothing I can do about it.
She wanted a job.
Maybe.
You know, you believe in yourself
a little bit too much, Russ.
And what's worse, you believe your own lies.
I guess that's how you made it.
Listen, we're working on it.
You're workin' on who.
Angela King.
None of us want those email released.
The kid found out some information,
she's on a flight next week.
Take care of it.
Good.
Hey.
I need a drink.
How would you play your game in this hotel suite?
A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
I thought you weren't interested.
I can win.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
Whites or blacks, you choose.
This one.
You start.
E2, E4.
C7, C5.
N, G1, F3.
Hold on, let me show you something.
What's that?
Just put it on.
What is that?
One, two, three.
You see something?
It's beautiful!
It's a virtual reality program.
Here, go like that, haven't actually done this
with two pairs of glasses before.
OK, same thing, concentrate.
You with me?
Yeah.
N, B8, C6.
N, B1, C3.
N, G8, F6.
Q, D4, D8.
Where's the king?
K, E7, E6.
E3, E2.
B, F1, B5, as ordered my queen.
Checkmate.
Indeed.
I think you lost intentionally.
Oh yeah?
What are we doing.
Listen, we're working on it.
You're working on who?
Angela King.
None of us want those emails released.
The kid found out some information,
she's on a flight next week.
In just a second, it was completely hidden in a
cloud of a combination of smoke and dust.
The circumstances of the crash have attracted
additional scrutiny, ever since Internet Activist
Angela King was identified as one of the passengers.
Talked to Washington this morning.
Someone got Angela King.
You know who got her?
Makes no difference, she's out of the picture.
Gotta be careful what's next.
We have to anticipate the other guy's move,
kinda like a chess game.
You play?
No.
Well, ya should.
Business, politics, life, it's all like chess.
You have to always be two steps ahead.
She is perfect for a screensaver.
Have you had any dreams lately?
No, just that one time I crashed at your place.
You see that little star over there?
On that star are all the people I love.
Did you see this one, it's moving.
Yeah a satellite or plane.
Do you think we're a part of this universe?
Not at all.
Who is that?
Nothing.
Who is he?
You're jealous?
No.
It's my brother.
He vanished a long time ago.
What happened?
I was at a fair with my sister and my brother.
Remember those video game arcades?
I could spend hours on those machines.
Sometimes my brother would wander the arcade
while I played, as kids do.
How old would he be today?
20-something.
Suppose you've already checked
the juvenile records database.
It's gotta be in there someplace.
What's his name?
Jeremy.
Here's the website.
I can actually search for you later, if you want.
I have to go.
A number of unarmed civilians were made
to lay down on the road outside.
This is what followed.
You shouldn't worry about Loise.
Well I am concerned.
She's getting to him, I'm losin' the boy.
Take her out of this, not her.
I don't get it.
You know her, she used to work for you.
I mean, it's a little close for comfort.
What the fuck is going on, are you her
guardian angel or what?
I'll take care of Loise, don't worry 'bout her.
That still leaves me with a bigger issue,
what to do with him.
You'll take care of him, he's your protege, not mine.
What's happening, you vanished.
How did my files end up on your computer?
What are you talking about?
My files ass hole!
I don't know what you're talking about!
Who are you?
Who the fuck are you!
You wouldn't believe me, even if I told you.
I'm sorry.
Get the fuck out of here.
My name is Soyan Schwartz,
and I am an Internet Activist.
I have infiltrated the IT systems of numerous
government agencies and corporations.
Over the years, I have sought out to expose
classified information.
Today I found something that requires
immediate disclosure.
Today many companies are trying to rewrite
our history and alter the truth.
As Mau, Lennon, and others used propaganda for
political purposes, corporations now control...
What's going on in here?
There are three ways to escape a bad situation.
You can attack your enemy and fight back, you can
defend yourself and limit the damages, or you can
just kill yourself and exit the game entirely.
What are you doing?
You're a sweet boy.
Intelligent, even brilliant.
But so naive.
Who sent ya here, Russel?
That girlfriend of yours, Loise,
has been hacking your computer.
How do you know that?
We have sources.
Who are you spying on, her or me?
I'm just trying to save that nice ass of yours.
You've been played.
She doesn't want you, she wants your files.
I don't believe it.
Well you better believe it, because that is the
only story that's gonna fly with Russel and his clients.
We still have a lot of work to do, OK?
Stay away from her.
You've been warned.
Loise, Loise, Loise, answer me!
What are you doing here?
It's OK, it's OK, I'm gonna get us outta here, OK?
Go away!
You're gonna be OK.
Where are we?
Who are you?
I don't know.
Some time ago, I bonded with the other hackers.
I started an organization called Independent Leak.
We hit banks, corporations, police databases,
insurance companies, everything we could.
Started as a game, before it got big.
We have millions of emails and databases
with secrets people have to know.
About what?
Classified information.
Independent Leak was founded
by a woman, Angela King.
She was killed, right?
She was attracting too much attention.
Where did you leave those emails?
I have them.
I have a copy at the hotel,
and a backup somewhere else, hidden.
I'm gonna release those emails.
I wanna get outta here.
I'm with you.
There's so much more I wanna tell you.
See you on the rooftop, 9 p.m.
Look, you think I've done something wrong, OK.
I may have crossed the line,
I never gave up on the case.
It's too late.
I gave you information that put you at risk.
See, I erased everything, no more files, we're all set.
I feel responsible for you.
So if you're planning anything, you should tell me about it.
It's none of your business anymore.
It is my business, there are people after Soyan.
And after you too.
What do you mean?
I know who they are, and I know what
they're capable of, I continue the investigation.
I saw pictures, addresses, and files.
I saw surveillance video of you and Soyan together.
I thought you should know.
That's why I'm here.
Don't worry about me, I'm off.
How did you get in?
I pay for this room and the room next door.
Did you forget?
You're my guest here.
So, Angela King.
Soyan?
Like the king in a chess game.
And Angela, like an angel unseen.
I can't hear you.
Create your own avatar, book hotel rooms and flights
in her name and keep us chasing someone who
doesn't even exist.
That was clever.
Very clever, indeed.
I underestimated you.
Then, just as we were about to close in,
you kill her off, online, just like you did Bella Blue.
How'd you find out it was me?
We're on company time.
How much did they pay you
to stop Independent Leak?
How much information do you have on us?
Enough, enough to show how you
manipulated the media.
So you left your IP address intentionally.
That was a red herring.
Big companies often hire their hackers.
So you come in like a Trojan horse.
Makes me wonder, how many more like you
are gonna come out of the belly of that wooden steed.
More like an army.
Small rooms, Internet cafes,
anywhere there's a wireless connection.
We're faceless.
But we have eyes, and we see everything.
You're gonna lose your queen.
I don't think so.
Checkmate.
It goes something like this.
Promising young employee of high tech company
found dead in hotel room by heart attack.
It's got a nice ring to it, don't you think?
And when the authorities contact me, I'll tell them
how shocking it is.
Why, I just visited him the night before.
He seemed fine, and in a short time, a very
short time, it won't matter because you'll be forgotten.
Like everyone else.
D4, D8.
Where is he?
Cleaning!
Where is he?
Excuse me?
Did you see a young guy who was staying here?
He passed away.
Heart attack, they said.
They pick up the body.
OK, A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
Three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four, five.
E4, D8
Where is it, fuck!
Where is it.
The Commission is set to investigate the event
that took place here.
It was a long day with the relatives of hundreds
of other, apparently unarmed civilians,
who were killed, still waiting for an official
explanation for their deaths.
We need to disguise the IP address
before we upload it.
Can you do that?
Go ahead.
Today the activist organization Independent Link,
released millions of emails
from BL Reputation Management, a secretive
high tech company.
Though it will take a long time to fully assess
it's impact, the data dump has already
shaken financial markets and turned Congressional
elections upside down.
A Senate investigation is likely
to be announced later today.
This is it Russel, I can't cover this.
In a surprising turn of events, the ICC has recharged
Vanderbilt with violating the Embargo.
The suspect is currently in custody, awaiting trial
based on evidence supplied by Alice Carson,
the founder of Human Search.
Two days ago, Soyan Schwartz, the leader of
the Independent Leak, was found dead in his
hotel room after an apparent heart attack.
However, a secret video recording now reveals that
Mr. Schwartz may have been murdered in an attempt
to prevent his release of the classified emails.
Today many companies are trying to rewrite
our history and alter the truth, as Mau, Lennon,
and others use propaganda for political goals.
Corporations now control images
for commercial purposes.
We are on the verge of a new world, in which
objective facts can be altered in the name of
public relations, by companies who are
larger than states.
The media is the most powerful entity in the world.
They have the power to make the guilty innocent
and the innocent guilty, and that's power
because they control the minds of the masses.
Those are the words of Malcolm X.
This is Soyan Schwartz, and I wish you all good luck.
Loise, who'll take charge of Independent Leak now?
I'm gonna meet him tomorrow.
I don't know what to say.
You sure you don't wanna come with me?
No, I'd be too nervous.
I don't wanna scare him.
You go.
OK, I'll call you.
Loise, I knew you'd never give up on me and Jeremy.
We're a family.
We're a family again.
This is her, this is you...
...and this is us, all together.
I'll come back with Eileen next time.
Who helped you track me down on the Internet?
Soyan, a friend, a dear friend of mine.
