Was the bomb that killed Harry and his team activated automatically when someone entered the home?
Or did Payne detonate it by remote when he saw Harry entering the home? Which of the two?
shareIt was motion activated.
shareI see. Then how did he know that Harry and his team would go to this house? And how could he afford a house like that with a tiny pension?
shareI don't think he knew for sure, he was just covering his bases.
He could have been renting, he could have already paid it off. I don't remember the house being to flashy or anything.
It wasn't a super fancy house. And Sun Valley's a decent neighborhood but far from ritzy. But that's irrelevant because (A) Payne was asking for a lot more money than that house was worth, making it worth losing and (B) Payne didn't really seem motivated by money anyway, so much as the need to show how smart he was
As for how Payne knew Harry died, it's actually a bit inconsistent now that I think about it.
The house was rigged with a motion detector, confirmed by Harry's resigned expression right before the explosion. We'd expect Payne to have some form of notification when the bomb goes, even if he doesn't trigger it himself.
BUT ... if that's the case, why wouldn't he have a way to tell if the bus bomb was triggered?
I suppose he was relying on that behind-the-mirror the video feed that they hacked.
Also, how did he know it was Harry who died? Clearly Payne did his homework on both Harry and Jack, well enough to know where Jack gets his morning coffee and that Jack was the "brains" of their operation.
He could have also had video surveillance set up at his house.
shareWell Payne wanted more money that he needed for his survival. He could have lived off his tiny pension. Am I right?
