-Gracias,
-Thank you.

:01:02
Try it. It's heaven.
:01:07
So, what is she after?
:01:08
You ever read Kurt Vonnegut?
:01:11
Yeah.
:01:12
-You read "Cat's Cradle"?
-Nah.

:01:14
Well, in that book,
the world ends

:01:19
because in a chip of ice,
a molecule is discovered

:01:22
that can turn all the water
it touches into ice.

:01:27
Since all water
is interconnected --

:01:29
that is, pond to stream,
stream to river,

:01:32
river to lake,
lake to ocean --

:01:35
the entire world freezes
and dies,

:01:37
and that seed molecule
is called lce 9.

:01:43
Ice 9.
:01:44
Langley has invented
a computer virus

:01:48
that can plug into
any electrical receptacle --

:01:52
that is, the wall outlet
in your apartment --

:01:56
using existing wiring
:01:57
to spread right through
the entire national grid.

:02:00
No firewalls, no protection.
:02:02
Jesus.
:02:03
That's it.
:02:05
Our national defense,
:02:07
our national survival
depends on electronics.

:02:10
You take that away...
:02:12
we're back in the Stone Age
with our enemies.

:02:16
This was good.
:02:18
Can I make it?
:02:22
Oh! So close.
:02:29
You're going to Langley.
:02:33
Your cover story is that
you washed out of the farm,

:02:37
but we love you --
:02:39
you're a good boy,
a patriot --

:02:41
so we got you a low-level,
low-security gig...

:02:44
but your real assignment
is to get close to Layla

:02:48
and to stay close to her.
:02:51
Find out who she's talking to.
