We have Intel that a VIP is coming into the block from some big meeting-- someone way bigger than Snyder.

The guy that had a g*n on you in the Yonk?

There's a decent chance that you've at least seen his face.

[ominous music]

I specifically tripled last night's Homeland Security detail to avoid this.

What the hell happened?

There were a lot of people on the street before curfew last night, mostly in peaceful recognition of the anniversary.

There was some looting, a few protests that turned violent, but most of the v*olence appears to have been spontaneous and random.

Most, but not all.

There were four or five incidents that may have been coordinated.

Proxy, can we talk to you in private?

[background chatter]

[phones ringing]

Why all the secrecy?

[clears throat]

We think a new cell might have set up operations outside the colony.

That's not possible.

We have a reliable CI that says it is.

His cousin signed up with someone offering cash and weapons to anyone willing to fight the Occupation in the LA bloc.

He said he went to meet a guy at the old Commerce building downtown.

Downtown?

How would they get in and out?

Maybe someone found a way under the wall that the RAPs never sealed.

What's important here is it looks like someone's invested in making you look bad.

The scarier att*cks from last night were all well-orchestrated, but then everyone vanished without a trace.

It's like when the Taliban was hiding out in Pakistan.

Nobody had the balls to cross the border and go after them.

Everyone looked the other way, so they had safe haven.

Let's say for a moment that I was interested in exploring this.

Let us take a run through the wall into downtown, check it out.

Look, I'm the most cautious man you've ever met, and I trust Katie with my life.

So can you.

So here's the rundown.

Our friends here got intel on a VIP coming into the bloc from outside the colony, someone major in regional leadership.

They use the metro line to bring certain VIPs in and out of the colony.

I thought all the metros were shut down.

The target's supposed to come into the colony in two days.

We know which MTA line he'll be on, but we don't know which station he's headed to.

Why don't you three scout Wilshire and Vermont?

We'll check out MacArthur Park Station.

Did you know the Mandels?

No.

Not many people in the LA art community did.

They lived very simply, and they didn't run in our social circles.

But they loved their art.

They sunk every dollar they earned into it, and they had great taste.

Their collection isn't in any of your catalogues.

Very few people know it even exists... but I do because I helped them track a lot of it down.

At least two of the insurgents were operating out of the top floor of the building.

Where are they?

They got clear.

We found this.

These were the locations of four of the largest "Zero Day" att*cks.

This means they were coordinated, and our CI's intel was good.

And he was right about something else too.

I sent Homeland's engineer corps out to look for any weak spots in the Wall.

They found a tunnel under an old DWP substation that leads right into downtown.

That must be how they were getting in and out undetected.

We're gonna shut it down.

No, don't do that. We can exploit this.

Set a trap for whoever's using the tunnel.

Redhats everywhere.

This is great.

Great?

Is that your GI Joe gallows humor, like, "Ha ha, we're all gonna die"?

It means your intel is good.

If the Redhats are guarding the station, it means they're using it for something.

What's better is we figured out the time their shift changes.

So we can hit them while they're changing personnel.

Okay.

How did you guys get this intel?

That's proprietary.

No.

This is either a partnership or it isn't.

And if it is, then it's full disclosure in both directions, and if it's not, then this isn't for us.

Battery d*ed a couple of weeks ago, but they picked up a bunch of other intel that back this up.

Who's "Hyperion"?

Apparently, he's a big F-ing deal.

All right, the plan, therefore, would be to hit the metro and abduct him at the MacArthur Park station.

Judging by security presence, it looks like Wilshire and Vermont is the final destination.

But we want to hit the train further upstream, here in the tunnel before it enters MacArthur Park station.

We come in through this egress hatch, plant the charge and wait around the corner.

After the charge goes, they'll be scrambling.

We can grab the VIP and bring him out through the tunnels.

And then bring him back here for safekeeping.

Sorry, we're blowing up a train?

No, we're just gonna nudge it off the tracks.

Newton's first law does the rest.
