:25:04
And he has deciphered a message written
in the most sophisticated code...
:25:07
the world has ever known...
:25:09
in a geek's
puzzle magazine.
:25:12
I don't recall
ever authorizing...
:25:15
anyone to put any message...
:25:17
into any magazine!
:25:19
That couldn't just happen.
A kid couldn't just pop it open.
:25:24
Not only is he nine years old,
he is handicapped. He is autistic.
:25:29
Yes, that explains it.
:25:31
So our $2 billion code
is an open book...
:25:34
- to people of diminished capacity?
- No, sir.
:25:36
Autism isn't synonymous
with diminished capacity.
:25:39
Autistic people are...
They're shut off.
:25:42
But it's not unusual
for an autistic person to be a savant.
:25:45
- Oh, a savant!
- He may not be able
to actually decipher the code.
:25:48
- It might just appear to him.
- Right. He didn't calculate anything.
:25:50
He just saw it. Like those stupid
pictures at the mall. You stare at them.
:25:54
- All of a sudden you're looking
at the Statue of Liberty.
- Exactly.
:25:57
This is not a stupid picture
at the mall.
:26:00
This is national security.
:26:05
Looking at the best case scenario,
let's suppose the boy is unique...
:26:09
and he doesn't understand
what he's just done.
:26:13
Does that solve my problem?
Answer: No!
:26:16
Analysis: All we need now
is for someone else...
:26:19
who understands his capability
to come along...
:26:22
and my problems are increased
exponentially.
:26:25
Then maybe we should talk
to the kid.
:26:28
- And, uh...
- No.
:26:31
No. No.
:26:36
There must be nothing
that connects the boy to this office.
:26:39
Nothing.
Am I clear?
:26:42
Yes, sir.
:26:44
I want you to erase
the tape.
:26:46
Am I clear?
:26:49
Yes, sir.
:26:54
- Honey, will you get that?
- Yeah, I got it.
:26:58
- Martin Lynch?
- Yeah.
