03x03 - The Inside Job

Post by bunniefuu »

This way!

Infrared, now!

Good. Go!

Down left. You two, right!

Then we'll meet a man with proof...

that some of the founding fathers

were a lot racier than we thought.

But first, Dr. Thomas Swift
defends his theory that...

Well. Hey....Vikings were the
first settlers in New England.

I'm Janet Lin reporting
live, Channel 6 News.

You know, technically,
these are our offices.

Well, you know, I sleep upstairs.

What am I supposed to
do, cook on a hotplate?

Try this.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Prison kitchen, six months.

I should've had you cook me
breakfast a long time ago.

Are we ever gonna
talk about that kiss?

Kiss?

Yeah.

Oh. I don't remember a kiss.

I remember a slap.

You're still working off the slap.

This had better be good.

Parker's in trouble.

Who the hell is this?

No time for that, Ford.
She went in without me.

She's alone, and they have
a Steranko Security System.

You of all people
know what that means.

A-a Steranko? Parker tried
to cr*ck a Steranko?

You've got to help her, Ford.
I can't get to her.

I'm on the building
across the street.

Okay, let's fan out.
Check the roof.

What? Parker took an outside job?

Okay. I'll call Eliot.
You call Hardison.

Tell him to meet us at
Parker's place right now.

Is she in trouble?

Way more than trouble.

No sign yet, but we're close.

It's only a matter of time.

The rich and powerful
take what they want.

We steal it back for you.

Sometimes, bad guys
make the best good guys.

We provide... Leverage!

This can't be Parker's place.

Oh, the address on,
uh, Central Square?

That's a dummy.
She's got six of 'em.

What?! She still doesn't trust us?

Well, yeah, she took an outside
job without telling us.

I don't think any of us knows
what goes on in that girl's head.

Oh, great, a keypad.

Oh, wait. This is Parker's place.

Parker picked the code.

Unbelievable.

Maybe I do know her after all.

You're not gonna tell
me what it is, are you?

Sure.

It's my real name.

Oh, my god.

I didn't expect this.

This is surreal.

She lives here?

"Archie"? Who the hell is Archie?

Parker!

Okay. This is a little freaky.

Really? This is exactly
what I expected.

What happened to you guys?
You should've beaten us here.

We went to the wrong address.

Oh, the Central Square address?

Yeah, yeah, the Central...

Yeah, the Ce- Central Square...

I tracked your phone.

All right, listen.

She left timetables,

security codes, schematics.

Now, let's look at all this stuff

and see where she went
and what she's after.

God, this is so well-organized.

She's got everything
laid out just so.

This is as clean as
one of your plans.

Yeah. Maybe you're
rubbing off on her, Nate.

Well, I doubt I'm
rubbing off on her.

She would have never
tried to b*at a...

Steranko? A Steranko.

On her own? Has she lost her mind?!

Okay, please, please.
Somebody explain to me...

What the hell is a Steranko?

Steranko's the toughest
security system in the world,

In the universe, in the multi...
whatever.

How do you not know this?

I am a grifter.

If I'm doing my job right,

Then the mark just

turns off the alarm for me.

Look, Soph, you take
one of those computers

that can b*at like
100 people at chess,

It's got a brain the
size of a building,

You hook it up to
m*llitary-grade, infrared,

ultrasound, motion sensors...

Yeah, and then give
it the personality

of a pissed-off rottweiler.

That's a Steranko.

It has a heuristic algorithm. Okay?

It adapts to your moves
and evolves a strategy

based on your response.

It learns.

It hunts.

Can you cr*ck it?

Can I cr*ck... Nate...

Steranko's like Mount Everest.

You don't just jump on it.

You... you gotta train, muscle up.

No, no, no, no. Hardison. No, no.

For Parker, can you cr*ck it?

Yeah, I-I can...

Even if I tried... just tried...

I can't do it remote.

I'd have to get in that building.

Okay, so, we get you in,

You open the doors for
Parker, she goes out.

Through what? Where?

I mean, we don't even
know where she's at.

The Wakefield Building, downtown.

So...

Let's go steal a Parker.

Wakefield Agriculture,
Worldwide Incorporated.

Now, Wakefield's a big player
in the world cereal market,

And by "Cereal" I mean
wheat, corn, rice...

So it's a grocery store.

Yeah, if Godzilla's a gecko.

They do $200 million a
year in biotech research

and third-world infrastructure.

All right, so it's a
massive grocery store.

Yeah, but even they weren't
immune to the financial crunch.

The last two years, they did
a bunch of bad investments,

research that turned up empty.

This guy right here,
CEO Charles Rushing?

The board's after his head.

Now, he avoided two
takeover attempts,

but he's running scared.

I just swept the perimeter.

Lobby's the only point of entry.

Everything else is locked down.

And I gotta tell you, man,

I ain't big on taking this place
in broad daylight, on the fly.

What you mean you
ain't big on taking...

No, no, no. You just want to
throw Parker under the bus?

Take it easy. I didn't say that.

- Yeah, but you are saying just walk.
- That's not what I said.

I'm saying, "What happened to
having a damn plan?" Hardison!

Okay, guys, guys. Listen.

If you're gonna do a job like this,

you'd need a... a base camp, right?

Something kind of private
with good visibility?

And a partner, 'cause
I ain't insane.

Yeah, exactly.
you'd want a partner, right?

But, I mean, all the sh*ts
from Parker's place,

They were taken from a
single location up high.

Look at the way the sun's
going off the windows there.

According to this height... wait.

"On" the building.

He said "On... on the
building across the street."

Not "In."

All right, Eliot, you're
gonna come with me.

Sophie, walk Hardison
into Wakefield

so you can get your
hands on the Steranko.

That's the plan? It's all I got.

Nate, I keep telling
you, man, this...

Fine. Whatever.
Forget it. Forget it.

It's fine. We can do this.

Parker's gonna be okay.

Yeah, I know. Quiet and
sneaky... standard.

Quiet and sneaky is fine

if you're thinking like a thief.

Thieves find entrances,
but grifters?

We make them.

This thing was supposed
to be foolproof.

This intruder made it all the
way up to my laboratories

before he tripped an alarm.

Mr. Rushing and Dr. Hannity, please.

The Steranko has got
the intruder trapped,

here between the 25th
and the 40th floor

in the biotech levels.

Now, if I can lock the
entire building down... no.

This company is bleeding red ink.

We're being audited every week.

I have bankers calling me

from countries I've
never even heard of.

Do you know what'll
happen to our stock prices

if there is even a
rumor of a break-in?

Great.

I've got two more from the
London office downstairs.

Get this done, Vorhees...

Quietly...no alarms, no panic...

Not while these auditors are here.

I can have my men
go floor to floor.

Match retinal scans
with ID Badges.

Once a floor is clear,
we lock it down.

There is no way out.

How long will it take?

50 minutes.

Do it.

Quietly.

It's all under control, Dr. Hannity.

Why is this happening
today of all days?

The board promised to
give me a fair warning.

This is not fair.

Hello! Charles Rushing.

Emily Peal, J & L Resource Consultants.

Jonathan Steed,

Financial review analyst.

We're here to see who
gets fired today.

It's got to be the right roof.

Well, you got a clear line of
sight to the Wakefield Tower.

Good place to supervise a heist.

Nobody can get past us...

Nate Ford.

Lisbon.

I think... Florence.

You know this guy.

Mr. Ford and I once moved
in similar spheres.

It was Majorca.

Right. White doves.

Eliot, I'd like you
to meet Archie Leech,

The world's greatest thief.

Don't move! Don't move!

You're pretty, uh,
spry for a dead guy.

You mean the car crash
in Paris? Nobody...

What color is that hat
of yours these days,

White or black?

Come on, boy.

Pardon me, sir!

Well... Nice.

Those guys weren't with you?

Don't be ridiculous.

They're here to make
sure I get the job done.

I'm their hostage.

Barely got away from them
long enough to call you.

Parker's your partner.

Parker... is rescuing me.

Why would she rescue you?

Because I'm her father.

Yes.

This will do nicely. Now...

I'm gonna need all
your senior executives

and heads of departments
in five minutes.

Mr. Steed here is gonna
need computer access,

somewhere private,

where he can take an endoscopic
look at all your records.

Is that really necessary?

I mean, there's a certain order...

This company is on the brink.
It is hemorrhaging money.

Now, someone will be blamed.

Now, I can either
be your white knight

or the angel of death...

Your choice.

Yes, of course.
Anything to help, Miss Peal.

Anything at all.

Get Mr. Steed any office he wants.

Good.

Of course, I'm not her real father.

New York City, 12 years ago.

The little scamp lifted my wallet.

When I first met her, she was wild,

Dangerous to herself and to others.

But she had the gift.

I made her, honed her...

My perfect thief.

She was your legacy.

Just so.

I taught her everything I know

and unleashed her on the world.

You know, she was broken.
You understand that?

Parker was broken,
and you had no...

You should have taken her in...

What? Taken her home
like a real daughter?

This is my wife, Marilyn.

My grandsons.

I love them dearly.

They think I'm an accountant.

What was I supposed to do?

You know Parker.
You know she wouldn't fit in.

God, she doesn't fit in anywhere.

Yeah, but she was good enough
to send into a deathtrap, huh?

I didn't send her anywhere.

I was retired.

They found me, whoever they are.

Told me to break into Wakefield
and steal some canister

from the labs there.

Or they would k*ll my family.

My grandchildren.

You couldn't b*at a
Steranko even in your prime.

Which I'm long past.
Thanks for the reminder.

But my employer gave
me these blueprints

and most of the codes.

So I thought I could
break the bloody thing!

I called Parker for
help, just to plan.

Next thing I know,

she jumps the g*n
and goes in herself.

No idea what she was thinking.

All right. Listen.
I need you to get in position.

When Hardison finds a door,

I'm counting on you
to get her through it.

Okay, Hardison, are we on yet?

On and cracking.

I'm in the main company system.

Put this in your ear. Ah.

Now, you get that back to me.

I'm downloading all files...

Now.

Okay, and what about the Steranko?

All the alarm systems are
run through shielded cable,

which means I can't
hack it through wi-fi.

But if you find the actual cable...

Okay. All right.

All right.

I'm in.

Uh, don't know how far, though.

Okay.

Get what you can and fast.

Sophie.

What are we doing here?

We want to create some chaos.
All right?

Get them to focus on
you, on each other,

but just get them
off Hardison's back.

I know what I'm doing here.

Someone has to cut $90
million of putrid dead weight

from this flabby company.

And that putrid dead
weight is you all.

Now, see here, Miss Peal.
There's no call for rudeness.

Wakefield Agriculture is teetering.

I know it. Your board knows it.

Your shareholders know it.

The only people that
don't seem to know it

are here in this room,

which is why you are all fired.

It's happening.

They're laying everybody
off right now.

You're just a consultant.

You don't have the
authority to fire us.

I think you'll find that I do...

Dr. Hannity.

Silver lining...

Anyone that can convince
me, right here, right now,

that their job is
necessary will be rehired.

Um... Just... Well,
one at a time. I... what?

Okay, guys, uh...

I got bad news and not-so-bad news.

The not-so-bad news is

that Steranko's only
running at a level one.

How many levels are there?

Okay, uh, level one,
passive lockdown.

Two, fire. Three,
t*rror1st takeover.

And four, hazmat
containment breach.

Now, if it stays at a level one,

she just needs to stay
away from doors, cameras,

uh, security key cards,
even actual security guards,

and she'll be cool...for a while.

So she's safe as
long as she stays in,

but if she tries to get out...

Boom. Game over.

And that's the bad news.

It's a lobster trap.

It's easy to get in,
but there's no way out.

And this helps me how?

And what about the perimeter?

Perimeter's locked down tight.
It's a solid grid. Right?

You got sensors.
You got cameras on everything.

You want to make a bet these suits

don't like giving up their privacy?

You're gonna find a blank
on one of these offices.

That's actually not... bad.

All right, guys. So it's a party.

But before we rescue Parker,

we got to find out where she is.

Nate...

You do realize the entire
building is looking for Parker.

I mean, the actual, physical
building is looking for her.

Look, a-any cameras
that I piggyback,

any sensors that I access,

anything I do to find Parker

could lead the bad
guys right to her.

What's... what's my play?

Nate, I'm hacking a security system

that the Pentagon calls "Overkill".

with a laptop I found
in the back of my car!

Look, man, honest answer...

We can't find Parker.

We just have to wait for
her to send up a signal

And hopefully, we get to her first.

Laser tripwires.

In a ventilation shaft?!

I'm in trouble.

State your name and
the floor you work on.

Dr. Enzen, 4.

Look up here, please.

Thank you.

Okay. You're clear.

She's clear. She can go.

Okay.

Speak.

Hardison, listen. I screwed up.

I'm downtown in a
building, and I...

We are already here, Mama.

You are? All of you?

Wait. Parker, are you calling
me from a company landline?

Yeah. But it's okay,
'cause I have an ID.

No, no. Not okay.

Parker, they are matching
IDs to retinal scans.

If a security guard scans
your ID, you're busted.

And now that you're calling me,

Steranko knows exactly
where you are.

What?! Why?! Make it stop!

I don't know. Okay.
You got a 30-second window.

Right now you're at 20.

You need to hang up.

Get to cubicle 27. Wait there.

Go now.

You find something?

Guys, what would you
say if I told you

that all of Mr. Leech's schematics

are watermarked with
the Wakefield logo?

Sounds like original documents.

Probably from the
company's hard-copy files.

Yes, the kind of files
that are restricted

to high-level company personnel.

Head of security or above.

Okay, Sophie, I need
you to do me a favor.

Anything.

It's not as if there's
anything going on where I am.

I want you to take a
look around the room.

I mean, really take a good look.

Uh, anything standing out to you?

What are we gonna do? Look...

I can't do this.

Stop.

Dr. Hannity is awfully calm.

Hannity, Hannity, Hannity.

"Dr. Anne Hannity."

She's the Senior Vice President

in charge of the research
and development department.

She runs the biotech division.

Yeah, and she has
access to the Steranko

and the vault that Parker's hitting

on the biotech level.

Let me ask you something...
You ever have contact

with a client, I mean, face-to-face?

The client insisted on
complete discretion.

She's in on it! She's in on it.

Why didn't I see it before?

Okay. All right, Archie.

Ford, an inside job like
this only works if...

If they've tied up loose ends. Yes.

If they find Parker, they're
not gonna arrest her.

They'll k*ll her!

Archie, wait, wait.
Slow down. Slow down.

Look, we got to warn her.
They're gonna k*ll her.

I got my people on it.
All right? Hardison?

Talk to me. Where's Parker?

Yeah. Yeah. Um...

I already took care of it.

Thank you.

Earbud's going hot

in 5...

4...

3...

2...

1.

Okay, I got it.
I'm on. Come get me.

Is Archie there?

Yeah. Parker.

Archie. Are you okay?

- Yeah. Right as rain, kiddo.
- "Kiddo"?

I'm sorry. I couldn't
get the canister.

The transcription codes were...

Parker, what the hell were
you thinking, going in there?

They would've caught you, Archie.

They would've hurt
you or your family.

Your real family.

I couldn't let that happen.

Well, it's all right.
J-just stay focused.

Yes, sir.

"Sir"?

Kiddo, I want you to stand
up and have a look around.

Tell me what you see.

A bunch of people stealing stuff...

Staplers, paper...

They're pretty bad at it.

Oh, thank God.

I was dying.

Who is he? Who are you?

Uh, it's... it's me.

Me?

Marketing. Cubicle 135.

Cubicle 27.

Listen, I know we said we'd
just keep sexting each other

and keep it all online,

but with these layoffs coming,
I just had to see you!

Oh. You're hot!

Let's go.

Oh, I'm... gee, is it time
for Shelly's severance party?

Come get me. Come get me.
Come get me!

We're on it. Hang tight.

Your young man. Hardison.

Hardison.

Have you got a way
out for our girl yet?

You don't mind if I...

No, no, no. Go. Go ahead.

I have a hole in the grid

on the 38th floor.

CEO's office.

No cameras, no sensors of any kind.

Eliot, that was a nice call, man.

All right. So, rushing
wants his privacy.

Eliot, you're on.

Wait a second.

You want me to climb
a 40-story building

Yes. And I want you to do it now.

We're up against the clock.

Oh, Dr. Hannity,
you've been a bad girl.

Nate, Hannity blew through
$60 million last year

and didn't make Wakefield a dime.

Some kind of, uh, super
wheat that nobody wants.

She should be on the front
line, begging to keep her job.

I swear. I'd fire her.

Hannity is our inside man.

Okay, Sophie, you can let
everybody go except Hannity,

and I want her angry.

I mean steamed.

Shall we, Dr. Hannity?

Oh, dear.

It's a bit thin, isn't it?

PhD in agronomy from Stanford.

MBA from Harvard.

Mm-hmm. Yes.

Tsk. Oh, dear.

Graduated middle of
your class at both.

Published just... Here and there.

I'm Vice President of
a fortune 500 company.

I'm head of research.

I know. It's surprising, isn't it?

And with... with such
weak credentials.

I make one call, and you
are finished, Miss Peal.

Let's both make calls.

You whine to your CEO
about my bad manners,

and I'll remind the board

that your division has spent
$60 million developing...

What was it?

Wheat.

"Wheat"?

Okay.

You're an accountant, and
you're out of your depth.

A bit full of ourselves, aren't we?

You want to know what I've spent

the last two years working on?

Five companies... five...

Control all the
world's agriculture.

Trillions of dollars.

They do it through wheat.

The world's entire food
supply is founded on wheat.

Of course you didn't.

Now, do you know what this is?

Of course you don't.

This is a blight called UG99.

It's a variant of the black
stem fungus native to Russia.

Modern wheat has no immunity to it.

So this is what happens if
UG99 ever came to America.

The blight kills every wheat field,

anywhere it spreads.

Half the world's food supply
rotting in the fields.

That's a famine.

No.

It's an opportunity.

If UG99 ever hit,

those five companies that
control the food supply

will spend billions to b*at it.

Whoever comes up
with the solution...

Will save lives.

Will increase market share.

I'm getting Wakefield
ahead of the curve.

My team has bred a strain of wheat

that is totally immune
to the UG99 blight

and all its variants.

This company hired
you to make money,

Not "Super wheat" for some famine

that may never happen.

What if we knew, in advance,

exactly what strain

of UG99 would att*ck
the food supply,

where it would hit,

and Wakefield Agriculture had
the only wheat in the world

to survive it?

So you make your calls, Miss Peal.

And I'll make mine.

Six months from now,

we'll see who's still
looking for work.

Nate. I lost her. She's gone.

Nate, are you there?

Okay, just... just wait, wait.

Are you telling me
this woman paid us

to steal her own wheat? Worse.

To steal the blight.

Okay, now, she develops

this super wheat to go
against the UG99, the blight.

How does she do that?

By testing it over and over again

against the blight.

To test a vaccine, you
need the infection.

But she says her wheat's immune.

How does she know that?

Because she's got a big
canister of it in her lab

that she uses over and over again

to test her little project.

But why steal something
you already own? Why?

Because she wants it to get out.

That is very crazy
and absolutely right.

Nate, I'm sending you all the data

that Hannity has on that project.

Okay, look, I just punched into
the laboratory storage database.

Not only does Dr. Frankenstein

have some of that
UG99 nightmare fungus

stored in a biohazard vault
here at the Wakefield,

but, like you said,
she's keeping it

in a canister that
matches the schematics

that Archie was given.

Looks like somebody was trying
to jump-start an outbreak.

Oh, this... this virus,

this what-do-you-call-it, gets out

and kills the normal wheat.

That's right.
And famine everywhere.

I mean, it's a
multibillion-dollar market

ready for Wakefield to dominate.

It's so arcane, brutal.
She'd have to be a monster.

Yes. Yes, she would.

We got to take her out.
We have to get Parker out of there.

You got to let me
think this through.

Got to let me think.

You've got three people
trapped in there,

an outside man who can't get in.

So what now?

You gonna actually call the police?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Leech, just shut up! Shut up.

Parker is in there, waiting
for a b*llet in the head.

Yeah, and you put her in there.

And I'm gonna get her out.

Parker. It's Archie.
You've got to leg it.

Run for the front doors now.

No. No, Parker.
You're not going anywhere.

Your friends botched it, Parker.

Just listen to me, and
I'll get you home.

Parker, do not go anywhere
near the entrance.

There's 100 people there.
It's a bottleneck.

And this one's from Amy to Jeff.

"Don't sell yourself short.
40 is the new 25."

And that's very true.

- Thanks so much.
- Good luck, Shelly.

You're gonna be just fine.

And, finally, last but not least,

from me to a certain
special someone...

I know this seems like the end,

but I want you to think
about all the good times

and always remember
that I have been

and forever shall be...

Your rocket man."

Somebody tell me what to do.

Yeah, and fast.

I got codes to all the doors,

But Steranko is rewriting.

The bastard is quick... and smart.

Okay, your next open
door is two cubicles up

And down to the right.

You heard the man.

Now, go.

Going.

Come on. Come on.

Do not lock me out.

Cubicle 27. We're on our way.

Good. Now, up the stairs,
down the hall, left.

Can't grab me an elevator?

No. Elevators are a k*ll zone.

Buildings this tall,
nobody uses the stairs,

so they're wired for fire
safety, not security.

They're the better choice.

Uh, you are on the executive floor.

Okay, so that means less
electronic countermeasures.

I can spoof those.

But that also means
more human guards,

which are attached to
retinal scanners and g*ns.

Homestretch, Mama.

I get it. We're here
to get Parker out.

But this Hannity woman
is a piece of work.

There must be something we
can do to bring her down.

All right, Parker, you're
at the office. Break left.

One thing at a time.

Eliot, she's coming out hot.
Are you in position?

Yeah, I'm in position.
She's the one that...

Never mind. Scratch that.
There she is.

Move away.

Parker, move!

No.

No, I can't.

Parker, move!

No.

No, I can't.

Parker, what are you doing?

This is no time for crazy!
All right?!

We got to get the hell out of here!

I have to go back!

The Steranko has a
record of the break-in.

Hannity can walk the
blight out on her own

and blame it on me.

She's gonna get away with it.
We need proof.

What proof?

I have to go back and
steal the blight.

Parker, this is not what
I taught you. Archie?

We do not get involved. We get out.

Archie! This is not what we do!

No, this isn't what you do!

Okay, Hannity is bad.
She's gonna hurt people...

A lot of people.

You've taught me a lot
of things, Archie, but...

This is what we do.

She's right, Nate.

Well, somebody better
decide something,

'cause Steranko is whupping my ass.

You're not actually
considering this?

Parker, last time you
went to the vault...

No, I couldn't, but
I was alone then.

I'm not alone now. Okay?

Hardison, just clear
a path to the vault.

I know what I did wrong before.
I can do it!

Okay.

It's your show.

Go for it.

Of all the sanctimonious...

She was home free. She was out!

And now you've got
her playing hero?

She was right. It's what we do.

What you do.

You've k*lled her.

That's what you've bloody done.

You've k*lled her.

Security office, this is Charlie.

I'm on the executive level.
We got the intruder.

Intruder?

Me? No.

I'm just bringing the figures
for the thing up on the...

Not working for you, huh?

Hardison.

Options.

Stairwell.

Opening the doors...Now.

Damn it, Hardison!
What the hell, man?

You're supposed to keep
these guys off of us.

Hey, man. Do... do you want my job?

You want mine?

Look, you guys need to
get to the biotech level,

because Steranko is locking me out.

Parker, upstairs is the wrong way!

I know what I'm doing.

Yeah.

All right, Phil. Thanks.
I owe you one.

Just like you thought.
They're fake.

J & L has never even heard of 'em.

I knew it.

This is Leech, pulling
a double-cross.

I can't reach the other
guys I had sitting on him.

All right. It's fine.

We get Steed and Peal first.

Keep them on ice until
after we catch the thief.

Then get rid of them all at once.

I'm on it.

Oh, look, I am not
trying to rush y'all,

But y'all need to put
some pep in your step.

Where's the next open door?

Biotech floor, 10 floors
down from your last location.

Okay, thanks.

Eliot, how much do you weigh?

Are you kidding me?
Is she kidding me?!

I'm really not.

I ain't riding that thing.

Fine. See you on the biotech level.

And bring one of those scanners!

Okay.

I got you an elevator
and an open door

on the vault-level floor,

but now I am officially locked out.

All right.
Get Sophie and get going.

What about Parker?

Not your problem.

Get going.

This is never gonna work.

Not now, Leech. I'm on the phone.

Damn it!

Copy that. We're on our way.

Hey. It's you.

Hey, we should probably
exchange all our numbers, right?

He's okay.

He's okay.

Who's that guy?

Boyfriend.

Oh, this day sucks!

What's "Sexting"?

I'm not having this
conversation with you, Parker.

It's a retina scanner.

Only way to b*at the Steranko...

Is with the Steranko.

Not an ascii code.

It's a shellcode.

That's great.
You're awesome. Let's go!

That building's
completely locked down.

They're gonna catch her.
and it's all at your door.

She was perfect. You ruined her.

If you'd left her alone...

I didn't put her in there, Leech.

She stayed up there to service you

and your pathetic
Robin Hood fantasy.

I made her unique. What is she now?

I-I have no idea
what Parker is now.

I doubt she knows.

You're a thief. You're not a hitter.

You know nothing about me.

What I do know is that
w'd bo do to protect her.

Now, if you're gonna
sh**t me, do it.

I got work to do.

You're going in after her?

Always was, Leech.

Hazmat suits...
they're using 'em for cover.

We're at Alert-4.

Aren't the elevators locked down?

Elevator three is still active.

Steranko doesn't have
control of that one.

This is Leech.

These people are with Leech.

I can't stop the elevators,

but I can activate
the call buttons.

We can catch 'em in the lobby.

Bring your g*n.

All right, folks! No need to panic!

Everything's under control!

Just let the hazmat
people do their jobs!

We need to talk.

It's safe up here?

The entire floor
has been evacuated.

We're alone.

We had a deal.

We did, until you breached
our original contract.

After all, you did
want to k*ll me...

And my partner.

Business is business.

Yes. And so the price has gone up.

If you want your property,
you'll now pay double.

I've heard your proposal.

Now here's mine...

I take the blight now.

Mr. Vorhees kills all of you

and feeds your bodies to the
very expensive incinerators

we have in the sub-level.

And the police outside?

They're perfect.

With all those eyes
on the break-in,

The hazmat spill...

It'll be easy to blame
the theft on, well...

You people.

Six months from now, when
the famines make news,

Wakefield will be the
only company with a fix.

So... How do you want it?

Straight on, back of the head?

Mr. Vorhees is flexible.

Oh, neither, I think.

Is that enough for you, young lady?

That's plenty.

Janet Lin, Channel 6 News.

I'll just need to follow up

on your little conspiracy
to commit m*rder.

Any comment, doctor? We're live.

Hardison, can you get the Steranko

to trigger a fake hazmat alarm?

I was just busting my ass

so this thing won't go defcon-4.

Okay. I got you an elevator

and an open door on
the vault-level floor,

But now I am officially locked out.

All right.
Get Sophie and get going.

I don't know what you told
my producer on the phone,

but I am not sneaking my crew
inside a hazmat evacuation

just because you say a
Wakefield VP is dirty.

Do I look stupid?

You look like someone who would
rather have a Pulitzer...

Right? Than a local Emmy.

All right. You did it.

I have no idea how something
so slipshod could have worked,

but it did.

Cheers.

You have no idea how
warm that makes me feel.

No love lost here, huh?

Fair enough.

End it like gentlemen. Hmm?

Works for me.

You, uh...

You have a tough flight crew.

They're good. A little indisciplined.

Well, you can work with that.

Parker.

I know you did this because...

My family was in danger.

For what it's worth...

There are times now when I wish I hadn't...

Look...

It's ok.

I wouldn't have fit in
with the real family.

You didn't need it, anyhow.

You and I have made your own...

Parker.

***

My wallet, Parker.

- You ok?
- Yeah.

What did he talked to you about?

Um, you know...

This stuff.
