Killer App (2017)
Technology.
It's all around us. Helping. Enriching. Entertaining. Protecting. For the last ten years, titan has brought you closer faster... Making life easier... Smarter... Unique, fearless bold. These are words you've come to associate and expect from titan and its ceo, Linus springer. Titan international technology and networking. Feel good? Remember, don't be nervous. This is where it all started. When I first met Natalie, there was a fish market on the first floor of this building. Remember the smell? God, it was terrible. We named all the search algorithms after body parts. Guts, heads, gills. I think we used so many iterations we ran out of names nearly. But of course you cracked it. Oh, yes, you did. The code that changed Internet search forever and the algorithm that launched titan. Every day for 15 years we've remained consistently at 100% uptime. And now, the search tool you created is the foundation for everything that titan is. Email, books, news, health care, social media. We're in your desktops, we're in your pockets and soon, we're pretty much gonna be everywhere. So... Natalie... I would very much be deeply grateful... If you would be the very first person to share with the users of the world titan's new product. Ahem. Hello, Andi. Hello, Natalie. Nice to meet you all. I'm Andi-di-di. Nice to meet you. I'm Andi. Nice to meet you. There's 200 million users logged into it right now. Fix the bug. Seems that Andi's been programmed with a repetitive cordiality and civility cycle just for this day. Well, uh... We'll take a short break and be right back with you. Fix it. What are you doing? Linus needs you. Are you going to finish that? Do you think it's a good idea to drink right now? Linus says you have until Friday to get Andi online. He expects a flawless rollout. It can't be done by Friday. Linus didn't offer an alternative. Tell him I'll be right down. Mmm. Did you hear that? Yeah, so I fixed the lighting in this whole section here tuning up the textures, rendered a little bit. I took the sex scene out of here. Come on. Yup. Can your video card think you can handle this? Fixed the, uh, oh, wait, check this out. See ya. Ah! You walked into my trap. The game's no fun if you always win. Why would I make a game where I lose? You died in that explosion too, remember? Technically, the blast hit you out first, so I win. You're so dead next time. It's open. You really need a decorator. What I really need is a new soldering iron and video card. -How's Mateo? -He killed me. Yeah, another good reason not to hang out with that kid. Don't worry, officer mom, we are still broken up. I just need someone to bounce ideas off of. I can trust his coding skills, even if I can't trust him. He's still totally on probation. Are you sure you're ready for this? I've tested and retested my app. I am feeling good about it. I don't mean that, I mean do you really want to go to titan? I've been waiting for this my whole life. Alright, no more "get out of jail free" cards, Jess. No more trouble, I promise. You're not the one that got in trouble. Listen, titan likes my app. I want their money. It's that's simple. So you do have something in common with your father. Take that back. Okay. So, should we go? Actually, they're sending a car. Titan is sending you a car? Relax. It's an Andi. It drives itself. You can come see it if you want. Didn't that fail in it's first launch? That was three months ago, beta-tested. It's gonna be huge. It's better than I thought. Huh. Should I sit in the front or the back? W-wait, wait, wait, wait, this car drives itself? How is this remotely safe? They've logged over a million miles with one accident. And that was the other guy's fault. Yeah, it's always the other guy's fault, right? Hello, Jessie. I'm Andi. Please let me know if I can help you in any way. -This is cool. -Who's Andi? Titan's voice-activated plain language interface. Alright, well, make sure you take care of my daughter, Andi. Don't worry, Emily. Jessie will be safe with me. See that? You and Andi are on the same page. I love you, mom. I love you, too. Alright, Andi, let's go to titan. Heading to titan, original campus. Jessie! Andi? Actually, barclay. And Andi. I'm titan's senior vice president of business development. As well as the voice. Sounds like springer's got you doing double duty. Linus prefers a lean operation. Seems like things are about as lean as they can be around here. We are upgrading some design and tech elements before the building is fully staffed. But where better for the world's brightest young minds than the new Andi-powered office? Yeah, saw the rollout presentation a couple months ago, you guys finally get Andi up and running? She got you here, didn't she? This will connect you to Andi. She'll be your ID, your keys, your calendar and your communications hub. But first, I just need you to click accept. What am I accepting? Nondisclosure, liability waiver, it's standard. And if I don't accept? Then Linus has directed me to wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. "Just click and accept" the famous last words of the Internet. Welcome to titan international technology and networking. Welcome to titan international technology and communications. Andi, where to now? Please select your floor. Level one, entrance and lobby. Level two, meeting rooms and shared workspace. Level three, micro dorms and sleeping pods. Level five, executive offices and roof access. Andi, what's on level four? Unfortunately, you do not have access at this time. Alright, then I'll just go to the dorms. Alright. Let's just do this. Welcome home, Jessie. Thanks, Andi. I thought you left me for dead in an explosion. Nice digs. How sweet was that car ride? Hmm? Say billionaire! Hey, don't worry about it. In tech... Nobody cares about your past. It's all about your future. I'm not worried. I'm just here to win and go home. I'm not leaving, i hate to break it to you but, uh, if you wanna win, you're gonna have to beat me. That's just not gonna happen. Welcome session in five minutes on level three. -You heard that, too? -Yeah. I guess we gotta do what the robot says. -After you. -No, after you. -You sure? -Just-just... -Just go. -Okay. You're really uptight. You're not gonna crack, are you? I'm doing fine. Some people just can't hack it. This is the building that lady killed herself off of. Password, l8rg8r. Later gator! Is this your way of reassuring me? I was making conversation, look, it'd be a lot easier if we didn't dance around the real issue. I like dancing. You know, you can't punish me forever. Andi, level two. Maybe not forever but this is not the week to figure out what we are, okay? I need to focus. Oh, my god. Y-you froze me out for nine months, alright? And I think this is the perfect time you know, cooped up in the original titan building where springer started it all. We could be a power couple right off the bat. What if we're more power friends? -Do I have another choice? -Not really. -Not yet. -You're relentless. Hey, it's what makes me charming. Jessie and Mateo, thanks for joining us. And just so you're aware, Mr. springer expects everyone to be five minutes early to meetings. You told us about the meeting five minutes ago. Thank you, barclay. Do be a sweetheart, get me a cup of green tea. Okay. Innovation. Disruption. Revolution. Genesis. Before man landed on the moon there were at least a dozen or so who died trying. Why? 'Cause change is painful. And pain is changeful. And it requires sacrifice. And that's what I'm looking for in this young innovators' boot camp. The next generation, the next wave of young men and young women who will challenge themselves who will drag us into the future no matter what or who gets in their way. Ian. Where's Ian? Ian. Yes. Your 3D printer was magnificent. Why don't you share with us wha-what made it so special? Uh, my model is inexpensive and scalable-- yeah, I know how how you do it, but I, uh... I wanna know what makes it special. Wow me. Wow us. My printer prints other 3D printers. Now we're talking here! Now we're cooking on gas! Who's next? Who wants to get up here? Alright, come on. Come on! I have to deal with severe asthma. I hate being weak so I started hacking my own body. My forearm unit tracks my heart rate, respiration blood chemistry, everything. I get instant feedback from my eyepiece and my fitness software tells me exactly how and when I should eat. Who needs a plastic inhaler when you have silicon chips? If we want to push our bodies to the limit we need to upgrade our processors. I want to totally erase the line between man and machine. I'm Stacey. At 14, I founded my own venture capital fund which I sold at 16 for an undisclosed sum but instead of retiring as a high school sophomore I figured I could transition into a second career in the start-up world. Through my father, I've had the pleasure of knowing Linus since I was born but I assure you i am no product of nepotism. Some of us just have brands with built in pre-awareness. Alright, come on, come on! Hey, man. Very well, go ahead. I'm, uh, Mateo. So I couldn't afford video games when I was a kid and, uh, I built my own. And by the time I was ten, i had an arcade in my garage and a couple years later i bought my first car with 1600 rolls of quarters. You know, games for me, i-i think they're more than just entertainment, i think they can be art. I think they can transport us to different worlds. And I think they can unlock doors to-to different lives. That's what I plan to do with this. So thank you. Wonderful, thank you for sharing marvelous. This is what it's all about. Talent, passion, ideas. But I brought you here... 'Cause that's not enough. It's the market that drives innovation. You disagree? Ideas drive innovation, not money. I can crowd-source my funding, create open source software and let the hive mind make it even better. Please, go ahead, don't let me stop you talking about how I should just gift my company away. Hi, I built an app that helps connect people from all around the world to collaborate on free software. The people we know online don't just have to be our friends. They can be our our designers, our engineers, our scientists. If the world's best programmer lives in a small village in the Sudan, i want to find her. With my app, we open up software development to everyone to help build tools for everyone. It's a social network for like-minded people to share their ideas together to create a better world. I've seen your app. It's, um, quite interesting. The possibilities are endless. Setting up communication systems after natural disasters. Payment plans in the third world countries. Creating a search algorithm that can compete with titan. Thank you. Well said. Very good. Very good and very small. See, you have an opportunity to revolutionize the way companies deal with their employees. Actually... You could make employees obsolete. This is not summer camp. It's not an internship. It's not an apprenticeship. I don't need you to go and get my tea. Thankfully, i have an Oxford grad who already does that for me. This is a competition. Be ruthless. Thank you. Your app is great. You're gonna be fine. I don't need this from you right now, okay? I have a lot going on. For the record, i agree with you. Your dad's a dinosaur on this one. Yeah, her dad's dead, so... It's a little more complicated than that. From the, uh, court transcripts i read, it's pretty clear cut. Seems springer didn't even have to take a paternity test. -What's he talking about? -Family court files are sealed. I was, I was going to tell you at a better time. And having a capital letter and a number in your password will keep out Russian hackers. I'm sorry. Who, who are you? Don't answer that, alright. I-I'll just hack in your smartphone in five minutes and find out myself. Except I'm over smartphones. So I got a dumb phone. Hacked into phone companies to get free nights and weekends. Sounds like a challenge. Please, by all means. Oh, and, uh, don't you worry. Juvenile court records are sealed, too so, it'll be our little secret. Your presence is requested in Linus springer's office in four minutes. You hear that? I am t-minus one minute late for a meeting with springer. We'll talk later. I promise. You. Mind your own business. Congratulations. You're the first person to dress me down in my new building. You really need a decorator. Physical objects hold no interest for me. Go ahead. Try it. There's no reason we should limit ourselves to things we can touch. I've been reading up on you. Impressive. Computers and i come together naturally. Some would say it's in my DNA. Eh. DNA is just code. Code is a pretty big part of my life. Well, don't give other people credit for your hard work. It's intelligence and ambition that got you where you are today, not DNA. What? What's so funny? Eighteen years, and neither of us has anything nice to say. Yes, well personal conversation is overrated. I prefer action. So let's take action. Okay, what do you want to do? I don't know. Why don't you wow me? Okay. All right. Come on. Prepare to be wowed. Live search terms... Being sent to our servers from around the world. A thing of beauty, isn't it? It's like stream of consciousness poetry written by the Internet. Yes. I like to remind my employees there are people using these products. Medical devices. Directions. You still need employees, huh? For now, yes. Have you been to level zero? Sorry, I unfortunately do not have access at this time. Yes, well, we can change all that. Now, this is a very early prototype. It'll be the fastest 3D printer ever made. Not just polymers. Circuits optics, prosthetics, you name it. This little puppy can build just about anything. When's it going on shelves? I'm not building it to put it on shelves. I'm building it to put it on Mars. The last piece of the puzzle... Is organics. If you're 250 million miles from the nearest hospital wouldn't it be useful to print your own kidney? That's not a kidney. No, you're right. It's not. It's, it's you. Hello, Jessie. See? I do have a sense of humor. Any more surprises on level four? Nothing really earth shattering. All the really cool stuff is on level zero. What's on level zero? Come along. Is this the basement where you're hiding the jet packs? Down here, young lady, is the Internet. I was expecting more porn. You know why I came back to this building? A combination of fish and nostalgia? It was more than that. You mean like how before it was a fish market this building hosted the first telephone exchange on the west coast o-or the first computer to computer network in north America? And then? And then you have your own "meet me" room. All those cables are from different service providers and connect right there. -Also known as... -The Internet. Right. All those wires, all those zeros and ones, ones and zeros they all flow through me. It's information. It's everywhere. And we control it right down here in this nervous system. Connect agencies, connect teenagers. You name it. We connect it. And it's all controlled... In these rooms. Come on. So, what do you do with all those ones and zeros? I win. We know our users better than they even know themselves. Ambitions. Dreams. Hopes. Desires. We are uniquely positioned to provide them the service. We are the ultimate service provider. What do you say we take a look inside, eh? Oh, Jessie, no, please. Security. It's not for social. Just something to show mom. I wanted to say... Look, I, um... I just didn't wanna be on the hook for a child I wasn't sure was mine. You never even checked. Does it matter? You're 18. You're doing great. Would you have got this far if I'd handed everything to you? So you did me a favor. Why else do you think you're here? To win. Thank you for the tour. It's been inspirational. Hey. Sorry if I came in a little hot earlier. I take my privacy seriously and I should have respected yours. Privacy is dead. O-only if we let them take it away. -Uh, cyborg hunter 727. -What? You know, in case you want to find me. I don't feel like I have many secrets left from you. Think you might be right about the dead privacy thing. So how was quality time with dad? My boyfriend's cheating on me with a cheerleader. All the cliches. Oh, my god, how many times have we been over this? -I-I've apologized enough. -I know. I'm sorry. It's just this whole thing is super weird. I'm, I'm glad you're here. It's nice to have a familiar face. I know. And ass? -Don't forget my ass. -Nobody could forget your ass. Maybe I shouldn't have come here. Springer just wants to take rightclique and run the world from a former fish market. Wow. You know, for an idealist, you're quite cynical. Well, he doesn't have my app yet. Yeah, but he will tomorrow when you present it. You're gonna kill it. You just, you need, like, a tagline or something. "Rightclique, making global local with social." No, that's terrible. Ugh! Springer thinks he can control the Internet. But he can't. No one can. And I'm not gonna help him. So what are you going to do? Gonna make something new. Something a little more titan. You worked on this app for about 10 months, right? You think you're gonna come up with something else overnight? It's not gonna happen. What titan really needs is a tool for people to say how they really feel about each other. You know, not this fake like culture. Not anonymous trolling, either. If you're enemies, say so. Brutal truth. Anti-social networking. Yeah, I see the funding pouring right in for that. That's great. You're self-destructing again. No, I'm finally seeing things clearly. So what are you guys working on? Don't worry, I'm not gonna steal any ideas worth less than $25 million. -Pitch me. -What? Pitch me your app. What do ya got? It's a first-person shooter game. And it uses your phone's camera to superimpose the game on the world around you. Hmm, so you must love titan's first-person shooter game that they're releasing in a few months. -What? -Titan has a game like this? Yes, every tech company has a reality shooter game. That's not really what you're pitching tomorrow, is it? Wow. Well, don't worry. I... I make things happen. I think a little brutal truth could be useful right now. Hey, let the code monkey go. I think you and i have a lot to discuss. Andi, level three, please. I'm not blind. Right? I'm not blind! I want their money. It's that simple. Maybe you do have something in common with your father. Nobody cares about your past. It's all about your future. It's all about your future. Hello, Andi. Welcome to titan international technology and communications. I just didn't wanna be on the hook for a child I wasn't sure was mine. Some of us just have brands with built in pre-awareness. App presentation. 50 minutes past due. No, no, no, no, no! Rightclique is a collaborative workflow solution that connects software developers and engineers from all around the world for seamless social project creation. "Rightclique making global local with social." Thank you all so much. Thank you. Very good. Very good indeed. Very good indeed. "Voila," as the French like to say. I'm so excited I might dance. Hey, Todd. No, what's the... Hang on. I'll get back to you. He stole it. You know he stole it. He says you developed it together. We bounced ideas off each other, but it was my app. My code. Where's the girl who likes to share things gone? Mateo saw the potential he took a risk, that kid has balls. -You can't teach that. -You can't do this. I can and I did, as per your agreement with titan I'm well within my rights to. Both of you... Both of you are horrible. I think you should use this as a teaching moment. This what you think parenting is? This is what life is, Jessie. You're angry. You should be. Use that. Be ruthless. Where were we, Todd? Yeah. Now the future looks bright from where I'm sitting. Yeah. Jessie, open up. Come on, I'm sorry. I just couldn't let you waste the opportunity like that. Jessie, come on. Look, i-i did it for both of us. Shut up! You want ruthless, I'll show you ruthless. Open source this. Eighteen years old, and on the way to an eight-figure bank account. And a hot piece of ass. You know, the future belongs to those who take it. You're ruthless. I do. I'm ruthless. Come here. What? -Too easy. -Uh... Do you really think that's a good idea? I'm not driving, officer. What? "Stand on one wheel, say the alphabet backwards." Come on, let's ride. It's fine. -Okay. -Yeah? -Let me see... okay. -Hey! If it isn't a risk, it isn't worth it. Alright, let's get outta here. Morning, everybody. Good to see you again, Jessie. What's wrong? Mateo. -So Mateo was driving? -The car was driving. He was in the driver's seat and you were in the passenger seat? Passenger seat, yes. But he dropped me off. The car dropped me off. I got dropped off, okay? I know. I think that if-if we're not driving the car then we didn't steal it. You know, if that's not a rule, it should be. Woo-hoo! -What, are you sick? -Can you stop the car? -Real quick? -Don't ask me. Ask the car. -Can you just put-- -Andi, stop the car. Sorry, it is not safe to stop the car here. -Andi! -Stop it! Sorry, it is not safe to stop the car here. Look, okay, it's stopping. It's stopping. Car stopping. Get out. Don't throw up in here. Whoo! Is that how you remember it? Do you remember it? Where did you get that? You posted it last night. So, everyone's seen that? Everyone. Am I trending? Have a seat. Your car drives itself, huh? You see, it's the computer inside the car that drives it. Can I see the computer's drivers license? Our software is a thousand times safer than any human driver. Surely doesn't look that way. Any malfunction was human, not machine. The car tracks its own location, atmosphere, tire pressure and it sends back the data from the servers to my engineers. I'll be happy to show what they find. Give me the data and I'll let you know what's on it. Give me a subpoena and I'd be happy to share it. Okay. Uh... The, uh, car could someone from here manipulate it remotely? You mean hacked? Yes. You bring me the human being who can hack my computer and I will give him a share of my company. I gotta write that down. Big words. No point eavesdropping. Our conference rooms are soundproof. It's like he doesn't care about anybody but himself. He thinks on a different scale. He believes technology is going to save the world. In the meantime, he's not bothered by the details. Details like Mateo? Or his daughter? He didn't think you'd show. Well, he doesn't know me. I moved your call. They're on hold and ready for you. Jessie. -Yes? -Your mother's here. Mom, what are you doing here? The department might have her on probation but she's still your mom and the best tech mind on the force so I'm happy to have her any day. Have a seat. So, uh, when did you last see Mateo? Yesterday, after the app presentations. You, uh, you two dated, right? We broke up about a year ago. He and Stacey, they got pretty close pretty fast. He's free to make whatever mistakes he wants. Tell me about, uh... Rightclique that's the app you said he stole from you, right? Mateo stole rightclique? He tried. It doesn't matter. It belongs to titan now. Must've pissed you off. I mean, it would piss me off. I was mad, but I would never hurt him. Your ex-boyfriend steals your idea hooks up with a new, rich, cute girl and the next morning, poof, he's gone. To be honest, it doesn't sound so good. I think we're getting ahead of ourselves here. We have a jilted kid whose ex-boyfriend stole a million dollar idea from her-- -billion. Billion dollar. -Oh, exactly. Jess, where were you last night? In my room, on my computer. I just need to know what were you doing on your computer and we can clear all this out. Surfing, hanging out, gaming. Are you aware that the app that you created that you said Mateo stole from you was hacked last night? Should we add Mateo to the enemies list? Is Mateo your enemy? -Ramon, enough. -It's complicated. Sure sounds like it. Jess. Nope. Jess. Jess, stop. Mateo is an ass, but I would never hurt him. Okay. I just want to know. Do you have any idea how serious this is? -Yeah. -You do? Then I want you to come home because the money is not worth it... okay? I'm not doing this for the money. And you know that. Then I just, like, blacked out. I'm just, I'm really lucky to be alive, you know? Back in the competition, obviously, but... So it's just back to work? Uh, yeah. Jessie, you need to learn to compartmentalize. Look, I could have died, okay? But I didn't. And there's a lot of work to do, so... You're a monster. Wow. Does, does that mean that I'm your enemy? We all know you created killlist. Actually I've been meaning to check out the app because it's getting so much traction. You know, everyone's using it. So I did, a-and I saw that you don't have any enemies yet but I'm willing to help you out in that department. You have a new enemy. Watch your back. I can't believe you guys are using this. It's called software development. That requires, you know, using software. I can't get it to work on my phone. You know what, Jessie, you were right. It's, it's really freeing to be able to tell people you hate their guts. Check this out, guys. "Thirty three ways a job in tech will kill you." Number six will literally toss you over the side of a bridge in a self-driving car. Aah! What the hell? Has being plugged into those machines robbed you of your basic human decency? I think my bitch detector is malfunctioning. Beep, beep. Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep. No, it seems to be operational. Sorry. I-i thought I was alone. We're never alone. Are you following me? Just following my curiosity. How'd you do it? Do what? I mean, if you wrote rightclique in the first place rewriting the code wouldn't be so hard. You know, impressive you did it so fast, but you're good. I get it. But how did you get the killlist into titan servers? Or send updates remotely? I don't know what you're talking about. Backdoor? Brute force attack? Is titan's password just password? Nobody can hack titan. It's impossible. Everything is hackable. How do I know I can trust you? 'Cause I came to you and not to springer or the cops. Theoretically, if I were to build an app for titan I would make sure that my baby would call home occasionally and check in. Titan thinks they're the backdoor but actually you are. Theoretically. Well done. Sorry to bother you. I'll, uh, let you get back to your phone or whatever it is people do these days when they're by themselves. Andi, workout complete. Monitor vitals during regeneration and cooldown. You have reached 40 percent of cooldown. Please replenish with energy drinks and vitamins. Ew. Don't let them get to you. Andi, lights on. Andi... lights on. Andi, check vitals? Monitoring vitals. Please replenish with energy drinks and vitamins. Really? Andi, unlock the door. Unlock the door. Your heart rate is low. Administering adrenaline and electronic stimulation... That's not actually what I need. Administer steroid. Your heart rate is dropping. Administering emergency external atrial stimulation. Andi, please, please! Andi, please! Pull the damn plug. Good morning, Jessie. Your enemy has been defeated. What? No. What... "Not available." No. You would've thought his robot suit would have saved him. Two kids in two days? That's why you don't trust your life to a machine. Well, when something goes wrong with the machine you don't blame the machine, you blame the engineer. He built it himself, you're saying that he dugged his own grave then? I think he was fine until he plugged into titan. Titan was driving Mateo. Titan has got a lot of engineers. There's a lot of blame to go around. Maybe this time we don't blame the engineer. Maybe we blame the ceo. The key is to go very slowly and work the muscle until complete and utter fatigue. A body hack. Work... 20 minutes a week. What are you doing to these kids? I'm giving them the opportunity of a lifetime. If they live, you mean? Maybe this industry isn't the right one for them. You of all people should know that. No. No, it's kind of hard to stay ahead in the game when have a small child depending on you. Hmm. Decisions. Sacrifices. If I had a teenage girl, i wouldn't put her in front of a computer screen. Where was your parenting advice when I needed it? I'm going to need all of the Andi logs and depending on what I find I'm probably going to need everything. On the desk. Feel free. Just, uh, leave your subpoena there, would you? And I'm probably going to need to see your badge. My attorneys, huh, they're sticklers for the details. They're very good as you know. They better be. I'm watching you. And I'm watching you. Come on. Jess, it's mom. Did you hear about what happened to ping? I, I messed up. I was playing around with the app and I got locked out of the source code. -You added an enemies list. -I was angry, but... Oh, Jess. Somebody hacked the hacker. I didn't, I didn't hurt anybody, okay? This is really bad. Do you... I know, b-but we can... We can fix this. We can find out who did it a-and stop it. No, no, no. That's my job. I'll do it. Mom, I can't let you be fixing another mess of mine. It's fine. What are they going to do, fire me? I'm already on probation. What? Do me a favor, try to get off campus. Stay off of titan's network. I wish you could find a friend, somebody you trusted. I really don't want you here alone. Shoot. I need your help. Have you tried restarting the computer? I am not in the mood for jokes right now. You are the only one who's not on rightclique killlist or any of it. I've tried to get it to work on this thing but I took it to the genius bar and they were stumped. We need to talk. Then we should get out of the titan fishbowl where they're not listening. That was the idea. I know this place that's got the best food on the west coast. It should be open. I didn't realize how hungry i was. I feel so much better just getting out of there for a while. We all need to disconnect and reboot sometimes. Thank you. Where did you find this place? Well, I was driving by one day and couldn't find anything about it online so I had to try it. I like it. Just hopefully good food and other human beings. Just keep it offline, and it'll never be ruined. I wish I could share these amazing carnitas with the world. -Sacrifices. -Now you sound like springer. Those are not the kind of sacrifices I'm talking about. You know, for someone who likes technology so much you sure do a lot to avoid it. -Computers are evil. -So why do you work with them? So when our robot overlords eventually conquer humanity I'll know how to defeat them. Computers can't be much worse than most people I know. Computers may be rising up right now The craziest part is that you might actually believe that. I appreciate the simplicity and logic behind technology. Without human greed, we could do great things. Green technology, fight human hunger have all human knowledge at our fingertips. So you're not doing this for the money? I didn't say that but I don't need much to finance the kind of things I want to do. What about you? Any, uh, major felonies recently? No felonies to speak of, thanks to my mom. The world does like to punish those who expose the truth. My school spent ten years covering up for that creep in the math department, i told the world the truth. Maybe hacking into the school newspaper alerting the local press was a little overkill, but... You did the right thing. Just a bummer your mom took the fall. Yeah. She saved my ass. And it almost cost her her job. I'm afraid things are going to be even worse. So you hacked your own app and created a kill list. It's just another harmless prank. It doesn't feel so harmless right now. Listen, Mateo was a drunk behind the wheel of some untested buggy hardware. Ping trusted technology with his life and tech fails all the time. -Yeah, I know, but-- -there's no murderer. Just... sloppy code and terrible accidents. I hope you're right. Yeah. I think that the publicity could be of good thing, you know? -You do? -Yes. Well, well, I'm not going to argue with you. Um, look, you just make yourself comfortable. I'll check on my screens for the-- can I ask you something inappropriate? -Inappropriate? -Mm-hmm. Well, yes, i do believe you could. How inappropriate... Are we talking? Oh, my goodness. Well... I think that you should move up the release of rightclique. I think you should get it into the wild immediately. You want to know what I think? What? -Hang on. -What? Did you hear that? -Uh, Linus. -What? Linus... Right or wrong, the app has buzz. Yes. And I think it could be a big project. And I think that you should lead it yourself. -Oh, you do, do you? -Mm-hmm. I also think that it's a very nice night out and you should enjoy the view. Uh, well, the view looks pretty good from here. Killlist is broadcasting your location. Congratulations, you have a new enemy. Watch your back. Oh, damn it. Hello. You should really turn that off. The data of yours, broadcasting everything. I mean, if you don't want to be tracked. What? My mom's in the hospital. She has severe swelling from the blow to her head. She needs time to heal. You have to find whoever did this. I will. Lost track of you last night. Are you following me? Titan knows where everyone is but for some reason, they couldn't find you. You think I did this? To my own mother? I think a series of unfortunate coincidences is starting to feel more like a connected string of events. I can't figure out if you're the perp or the next victim. Either way, just... Just watch your back, Jessie. Just watch your back. Mommy feeling okay? Who are you? You can't hide in your room forever. Get out of here. I can't leave. I'm everywhere. Okay. You want an enemy... You've got an enemy. Andi, accept all enemies. Thank you. All enemies accepted. An enemy would like to meet you. Print shop. Five minutes. Good job, Andi. You're welcome, Jessie. -You? -Me what? -You're the one doing this. -You set the meeting. How did you even get up here? It's restricted. Well, I granted Linus special access, so Linus granted me special access. Yeah. Does he know you're hacking rightclique? Do I look like a nerdy hacker? No offense. Absolutely none taken. Okay, but seriously, you need to straighten this whole thing out, okay? We're going live with rightclique soon. You need to work out all the bugs like how tinder keeps trying to set me up with my cousin. He doesn't even have a car. What is that? -What are you doing? -I'm not doing anything. What were you gonna do, cut me? I should have known your white trash ass was a killer. What were you going to do, Jessie? Listen, I know your little ex-boyfriend wanted in on this action but that's no reason to get all stabby. Stacey, let go of the knife. -I swear I am not doing this. -Why are you doing this? -Who's doing this? -What are you talking to? Who is doing this? Please don't kill me! Please don't kill me! Jessie, please don't kill me. She's totally lost it. I think I have a concussion. If she wasn't poor, i would sue her. What the... Police! Open up. Jessie, I know you're in there. Open up. I'm coming. I have a warrant for your arrest. Okay, the-the app. I can explain. It was, it was my idea but then everything else, i-it wasn't me. I don't care about the hack. You're being charged with murder. What? What-what's going on? We have Stacey's dead body with a knife wound and your prints on it. -I gotta take you in. -I didn't do it. You don't understand what has been going on here. And I need to figure out who did this. I understand. I gotta take you in. No, you can't take me in. I gotta stay here. I gotta put handcuffs on you now. You have no idea what you're dealing with. Please, just let me figure this out. You're making a mistake. You're making a mistake! -What? -Jessie, Jessie. -You have to believe me. -You gotta stop. I didn't do this. I'm not the one who-- -they're going after my mom! -Jess. -They're going after my mom! -Jess. Jess. I didn't do it. I didn't do it! Your mother is a good woman. I'll make sure they'll treat you okay. You have to believe me. No, I don't. He-hello? Yes, dispatch. Pass it through. I'm calling from the consumer credit department... -What? -Regarding a pending transfer in the amount of $12,000 from your checking account. No, no, no, no, cancel-cancel it. Before I can go any further, i first need to confirm your identity. What is your mother's maiden name, sir? I didn't authorize any-any transfer. To protect the privacy of our customers we can't discuss your pending transfer any further until I confirm your identity. When you first set up your account you chose a security image. Can you describe that security image to me, sir? My mother's maiden name is-is Castro. Mm-hmm. I'm sorry. That's not what we have on file. This is crazy. I'm sorry you feel that way, sir. Would you be interested in taking a survey to help improve our customer service? -Just stop the transfer! -Of course, sir. If you would like to stop the pending transfer you can proceed to our nearest authorized banking location. Our records indicate the closest near you is on... the corner of 14th and San Pedro. I can't do that right now. I'm transporting a prisoner. This is crazy. I see you have a new credit card on the account. Shut up. Just tell me where to go, and I'll go. Corner of 14th and San Pedro. Okay, going right now. Wait in the car. I'm at the corner, but i-i don't see any buildings or any-any banks. Hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey! Open-- hey, open. Open the door! Open... -Whoo! -Nice social engineering. Some problems call for a low-tech solution. I figure every hacker went through a lock-picking phase. Some of us were lucky enough to practice on our mom's equipment. Where to? Fugitive's plan. -Titan. -That's crazy. Whoever's doing this, whoever attacked Mateo Stacey, and ping, they're going to kill my mom. They have to be at titan. How are you gonna find them? No one can erase their digital footprints. We all leave them. You know that better than anyone. So you did read me up. Come on, cyborg247, quite the player. Anonymous. Wikileaks. Playing Twitter pranks on Isis. You have Edward snowden on your Tor instant messenger. Just because I hang out in some interesting corners of the web doesn't make me a criminal. Quite the opposite. It makes you someone I can trust. -So what's the plan? -I don't know. But someone once told me everything's hackable. Right here. Let's go. Here we go. The key is avoid the cameras. Some problems call for low-tech solutions. Alright. Up there, they can see everything. Act normal. -Still have your earpiece? -In here. Okay. Seriously? I was right, wasn't I? Let's see if they stripped your access. -Where are we going? -Straight to the heart. Andi, open the door please. I guess they haven't updated the guest list. Or maybe they did. Keep your head down. -It's too late. -Springer's office? "Meet me" room. I don't think we're gonna have access to that at this hour. I'm not asking Andi. Fire exit. We'll take the stairs. Won't that set off the alarm? I guess it's already gone off. It won't get any worse. Good job, boy genius. That's locked. That's a fire hazard. I mean, i-i realize we're committing a felony but imagine if we weren't. Ladies first. Andi, open the door. It was worth a shot. -How do we get in? -We use the password. Oh, Jessie, no, please. Security. It's not for social. Just something to show mom. Acoustic cryptanalysis? Each button emits a distinct frequency. Everything leaves a digital trail. Springer should have known. Someone's always watching. I've been here before. In this room. Impossible. Besides me, the only other who had the admin password is dead. -It's not him. -That's right. He's not. When the dead take your company down from within, it does make one wonder. And sometimes, well the only choice you have is to let the dead make a mistake. Just because you're dead doesn't mean they revoke your access. -And I don't make mistakes -Mateo. That lady who offed herself left behind the keys. "Later gator." L-8-r-g-8-r. Her password. Am I seriously the only one who figured that out? Oh. You're behind all this? Ping? Stacey? My mom? They got in the way. It didn't have to be like this, you know? It really didn't. Aren't you sick and tired of being the poor kid? Oh, where you going? Where you going? Being treated like a pawn? Springer, you never wanted my game. I was bait. I was sent here to fail. Yeah, but he should have known. No, no. There are no more secrets here anymore. You knew he was my father. Of course I knew. What, you think this fool over here is the only one who can hack court records? Hmm? It was all for you, Jessie. Where you going? Huh? We will get our revenge. I thought we'd take down your father. I thought once again, just you and I, Jess we would be happy. Hey, Ian. -This is crazy. -I never asked for any of this. And that is why i had to do it for you. By "it," you mean kill these people? Well, as far as everyone knows, I'm dead. But you three... You have some problems, don't you? Yeah, two notorious online criminals on the run from the law. I mean, Grand Theft Auto, really? Really? That's the best plan you could come up with? And the high-flying ceo with skeletons in his closet. It only makes sense one of you would go on a rampage. And then out of guilt you offed yourselves with a gun from a 3D printer. You guys know how to use a 3D printer, right? -It's not right! -This is crazy! -Just let her go. -Just let her go. Just let her go. You love me. You love me. -Don't do this. -I did love you. No, I did. I really did, but... You gotta go. Bye, babe Mateo! God, we were such a good match, babe. What happened? You know what happened. Oh, I know what happened. It's just you and I. Don't fucking touch... Don't touch me. Okay, you win, Mateo. I give in. You win. There's no way we're both getting out of here unless you let me help you. And why should I trust you? Why? It's the only logical play. The nerd's dead. Nothing you can do. You take care of Jessie, she takes the fall. We both end up looking like the good guys. Wow. You would really kill your own daughter? I won't let anyone destroy my company. You are one cold dude. So are you gonna kill her or should I? Do you know what? On second thought... I rescind my offer. What? Shut down initiated. System shutting down. Hey. Hey. Hey, Ian. Ian. Ian. Ian. Oh. Oh god. Wait. Don't move. Don't move. Don't touch. Don't touch. Stay, don't, don't, don't. Stay. Okay, okay. Linus, thank goodness. I can't believe this. -It's horrible. -It's okay, barclay. It's over. It's not over, it's just beginning. What are you talking about? We're offline, Linus. The 100% uptime. 99.9% rounds up to 100. It's not funny. It's not just titan. It's everybody. -We broke the Internet. -This is very bad. Linus, this is very personal for you, I realize, so it's my place to put the company first. -Barclay, you're fired. -I'm sorry, what? You're in charge of employee access, correct? -Yes. -Yes, well, perhaps, when someone dies, you should delete their password so that some 18-year-old hacker can't destroy the company. This is personal time, i realize, but it's my place to put the company first. You can't do this. I am titan. I am the voice of Andi. I'm sorry. Unfortunately, you do not have access at this time. You saved my company. I don't want your money. I'm not offering you my money. I'm offering you my influence, my lawyers. You're in a lot of trouble. I can help get you out of those problems. What am I accepting? You develop your app for me... And titan protects you. In turn, you protect titan. Pretty standard stuff. And if I don't accept your... offer? Don't be silly, Jessie. You're facing real jail time. No, I don't accept. Not this time. You stole a cop car, Jessie. If anyone finds out what happened, titan goes down. You need me more than I need you. You're ruthless. It's in my DNA. Bye. What do you want? I thought she'd be up by now. She's gonna be okay. I know. I'm gonna go, okay? Did she just move? She just moved. Go get somebody. Mom. Mom. I'm so sorry. You're gonna be okay. My baby. I love you. I love you too. |
