He is the guy with the gun who is hot on our guys’ trail.

This guy’s job is to find out what they’re really up to. “Another new character is a hacker named Roland. Our team has learned to have some level of trust among each other, or at least they know everyone else’s agenda, but this is a new guy they’re forced to work with, and they’re not sure how they feel about him, but they need his expertise in the technological stuff that our guys don’t necessarily have.” Kristin@E!Online
