He's the hero in his own video game. He's the hero in his own video game. Precisely. Yeah. I mean, and what's fascinating here is he's going public. He's revealing himself to the world. He's saying this, that I could be hunted down by the triads or by the CIA. And yet he hasn't planned an exit strategy yet. And I think it's really kind of telling and odd that he hasn't.

And I mean, one option would have been for him to go back to say, here I am and I'm going back to the US and I'm going to go on trial and I'm going to make my case. Now, his argument is that he would have faced a kind of sham trial. You know, he might not have been able to have a jury trial in which he gave a defence and because of the Espionage Act, he wouldn't be able to make his case.

And yet he still doesn't really know what he's going to do. And here now he's gone public in Hong Kong. And in the video, they don't say he's at the Mirror Hotel, but it's clear it's Hong Kong. And so now it becomes clear that people are going to track him down. Hong Kong press and the world's press are descending on Hong Kong to find this whistleblower.

And they're looking at the kind of, as you do now with kind of open source intelligence, looking at the pictures of him in his hotel room and going, that looks like the Mirror Hotel, you know. You refer to him by the W word, Gordon. Yeah. Whistleblower. Leaker. So he realizes he's got to run the next day. He's got to go on the move.

friendly, would accept him. Yeah. And Iceland seemed to have been his first choice. I mean, it's interesting because I think China does become an option at one point. So the next day after the video, he's bundled out of the Mira Hotel. I mean, you see a bit of it in the film. Lawyers in Hong Kong help him and help hide him.

They take him to a kind of cramped apartment in a poor neighborhood filled with refugees rather than the kind of five-star hotels he's been in. And he kind of wears a hat and sunglasses. He's moving from place to place with people who are trying to escape deportation. There is a point here where I think he does consider going over the border into China.

And it's interesting because he does an interview with a local paper in Hong Kong revealing that the NSA had hacked Chinese mobile phone companies and a university.
