‘Stitchers’ 2x02 WonderCon Sneak Peek: Kirsten Investigates Hacker’s Death

The Stitchers team investigates the suspicious death of a hacker in this sneak peek of Stitchers episode 2x02 “Hack Me If You Can”.

The team looks into the death of Derek, a 28-year-old hacker who used to be third on the FBI’s Most Wanted hacker list. The FBI caught him posting internal memos from one of the big five oil companies. The FBI offered him a deal and Derek turned white hat. His job was to prevent cyber terrorists from breaching government systems.

Derek was hit by a car in Downtown Los Angeles. He looked disoriented before he walked into traffic.

Kirsten stitches into Derek’s memories. She sees a woman threaten to kill him. And right before Derek’s death, he received an email that said “5 million sent. Destroy the list”. The email was sent by a website where married people go to have affairs.

Before bouncing out of the memory, Kirsten realizes that Derek’s insulin pump is the cause of his death.
