Get me everything you can
on Domingo Chavez.

[CHAVEZ] Chao Fah Sein wants out.

He said my entire operation was
controlled by the Triad,

and that whoever was running us in
Washington was in their pockets.

- So what are we getting at?
- Convergence.

The fusing of a drug cartel
with a t*rror1st organization.

[MORALES] They want me to seize the lab.

- [CHAVEZ] How much?
- Double.

[CHAO FAH] This was a money problem.

That's your department.

It was Jack Ryan.

He's the one that shut it down.

Pluto, I need you to turn it back on.

And do what?
Put Chavez back where he was?

[NEWSMAN] v*olence continues
on the streets of Lagos

nearly three weeks after the
assassination of President Udoh.

The so-called "death squads"
are believed to be supporters

of infamous w*rlord Ekon Ameh,

who's expected to make a play
for the presidency,

potentially ousting
Interim President Okoli.

The continued v*olence
has destabilized the region

as many global leaders
are left wondering

who will be in power once the
dust settles. The w*rlord...

[ADE] Are you sure you still
want to land in Lagos?

[WRIGHT] We'll assess on the tarmac.

- Still appreciate the invite?
- [ADE] Oh, of course.

This is not typical of the CIA.

No, it's not, but I'm meeting
with a president under siege,

and I need someone
who understands his country

- as well as he does.
- Better...

than he does.

So... born and raised there?

Born, not raised.

Nigeria, extreme poverty, small village

constantly raided by soldiers,

watched my father k*lled in front of me,

grew up wanting to fight...

until Mormon missionaries.

They came, restored our village,

raised enough money,
for me to get out of Nigeria

and go to school.

At the fundraiser, you said the
situation there was convoluted

in the eyes of politicians.

- Pretend I'm one of them.
- There are three major players.

The recently assassinated
President Udoh,

Ekon Ameh, the w*rlord whose men
probably pulled the trigger,

and replacement president, Okoli.

He's, um, a practical politician

who thinks he has
to carry on Udoh's cause

to reclaim Nigeria's resources
for its people at any cost.

Which is commendable.

[ADE] President Okoli's
refusal to compromise

in order to uphold old ideals...

It's denying Nigeria's evolution.

Nigeria isn't just a country,
it's an opportunity.

It's a strategic hub in a world
whose global powers...

they're equalizing.

We both know that you're not
just here for the optics.

You're here
to bring stability at a price,

and Okoli knows this.

- Any word from Chavez?

I've searched his hotel,
his car, airport.

- Nothing.
- It's all right. We'll find him.

Oh, yeah?

I've known guys like this
my whole career.

If he doesn't want to be found,
you'll never find him.

Yeah, unless you already know
where he's going.

Oh, where is he going?

To find Chao Fah.

His asset?

Yup.

Oh, so you think this sh*t is connected?

What I think is, with Miller
gone, Chao Fah is all we've got.

And without his intel on
convergence, we've got nothing.

Miller being m*rder*d proves

that this corruption goes way higher

than just the director of
the CIA, so we find Chao Fah,

we find who's behind all this.

Jack, just because
you know where Chavez is going

doesn't mean you know where he is.

Yeah, we do.

Even Chavez knows the only way
to get back in the game is
