Other mistake: In the opening coffee shop scene, Gabriel is seen preparing and lighting a cigar. Following this you have several clear shots of both hands above the table. However when he leaves the coffee shop, he has a bomb trigger in his hand, that he implies will go off if he lets go. Where was it when he was preparing his cigar and sipping his coffee? (00:01:33)

Questions

Question: After Stan finished building the Hydra, he said: 'it's time to disguise you as internal destruction'. Now, I'm not a hacker or a great programmer, so can anybody please explain to me what he meant?

Answer: He wants to dupe everyone who investigates the problem into thinking it was an internal error, rather than a virus. Doing so would lead them away from Stan, and he would get away with the attack.
