01x05 - We Reject Your Influence

[bunniefuu]

Sophie.

Jairo, what's up, man?

Hey, Maria Eugenia!

Hello, Javier, how are you?

- I saw your husband with another woman.
- Ah.

Watch out.

Javier, how are you?

Look what I brought you.

Let's see, what do
you have in there?

Well, look at this beauty.

That's a good looking fish.

Enjoy.

So much meat and me on a diet.

Quit teasing, girls.

You taking care of her?

She looks horrible.

It's okay.

Apologies.

I meant to be here
when you first arrived.

I came as soon as I could.

Called payara.

Ugly, but it's delicious.

And the locals know
how to make it.

Anyway.

I'm Tommy.

I'm Venezuelan, obviously, but I
was educated in the US. Georgetown.

Do you know if...

Do you know if my
husband is alive?

Good question. And feel free
to ask me anything you want.

Okay?

But about that, I don't know.

Should eat. It's
always good advice.

How long will I be here?

I don't know.

Different department.

Sorry, I'm just a bureaucrat
with limited vision.

Not a very glamorous job.

But you?

One of your
employers is the CIA.

- No.
- No?

It's a mistake, this file?

If that's what it says, yeah.

Well, I can't change
what the file says, but…

I can write a new file that goes
on top, becomes the current file.

So, tell me about yourself.

I'm a scientist.

Peer-reviewed.

You can look it up online.

And I was picked up collecting plant
samples to study tribal medicine.

I do addiction research.

And there was a giant mix-up over
the fact that I had a GPS beacon

in my stuff.

Not any GPS beacon. Army issued.

Right.

My husband's in the
m*llitary. So is my brother.

I mean, you should see our house.
It's like a f*cking armory.

Well, you know,
Amber, to be fair,

there was a great deal of hardware
unleashed to save someone.

And don't take offense,
someone who's only a scientist.

No.

You're conflating facts.

Please.

My brother is like a
legend in Special Forces.

My husband's very
f*cking powerful.

So, they have the means and the
resources to mount a rescue.

That's not a bad thing.

Is it... Is it bad
that they love me?

No.

No, but the other view would
be that your family members

with the security clearances
make you very trustworthy.

So, your family loves you, sure,
but the CIA could love you too, no?

I have friends at Langley, believe
it or not, from my college days.

I know how it works.

I used to be a writer.

I was pretty good.

Then I went into
national security,

and for a while there, I
was actually doing both.

Writing fiction during the week and
gathering intelligence on the weekend.

Just like you. Two lives.

So, I feel like
I understand you.

Where is this going?

Honestly?

You'd probably die here.

I'm just checking boxes.

And now we're both just
here, in... in this scenario,

and I wanna have a good
relationship with you.

I want that too.

Good. Great.

Thank you.

There is no reason
we cannot be friends.

I'll be back in two or three
weeks to take your statement.

Hey, Tomás, I have something else
really important to say to you, okay?

What is it?

f*ck you.

Oh, I love it. I really do.

You know, a normal person
would be terrified.

They'd... You'd be kissing my
shoes, but you're so composed.

You must have had some
great f*cking training.

It's my childhood.

When I was little, there
was this r*pist guy, right,

who was my mother's boyfriend.

And my brother, who is
probably gonna k*ll you...

Yeah, anyway, he-he sh*t
this guy when he was eight.

Just close range,
with a hunting r*fle,

right in front of
my f*cking face.

And I think that that
event taught me about fear.

And I acquired this
immunity to sadists.

It's like she's
still here with me.

I just can't believe it.

In one second,
everything changed.

She should be here with us.

I let her down. I
didn't take care of her.

What's going on, Manuel?

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Ready to head out?
- Yes, boss.

- Give me a minute and I'll be right there.
- Okay.

Hello.

You're leaving so soon?

Gotta go to Caracas to report on
the good work being done here.

Especially by you.

Listen.

I want you to know we are
all very sorry about Fami.

- Thank you.
- So what?

Are you leaving?

Give it some time.

Stay. Relax.

Drink, eat, you deserve
it. And the fish is…

Okay.

You want to go to Colombia?

No, there's nothing
for me there.

Then it's settled.

Take all the time
you want, okay?

Hey?

- Yes?
- Okay.

All right, then.

Take care.

Put the American on the program.

- Will do.
- Keep an eye on her.

You know it, brother.

All right, then. Take care.

Down by the bay

Where the watermelons grow

Back to my home

I dare not go

For if I do

My mother will say

"Have you ever seen a
bear Combing his hair"…

You look like sh*t.

You should learn how to
dress up a little better.

I ate some bad fish.

But I'm ready to brief you.

Go on, then.

She's marvelous.

My idea is to produce
videos with her.

Give a little love to the base.

Love to the base?

What the f*ck are
you talking about?

More YouTube?

Picture it,

"The damsel they
cannot bring home."

It's perfect because
her family is m*llitary.

If I can get her to
disavow her own blood!

Wow! That sh*t goes viral.

f*ck.

It's a little obvious, no?

Obvious is good, no?

Makes it clear.

What's clear?

f*ck YouTube.

I asked you to find out what
role she plays in all this.

None.

Maybe she's a
subcontractor, I don't know.

You're losing it.

You're either full of sh*t, or I don't
know what the f*ck is wrong with you.

You're coming up with this
silly YouTube video sh*t.

f*ck, how can I do my job
if you don't trust me?

You want me to trust
you? Take responsibility.

- Give it to me.
- Will you take responsibility?

Find that sh*t out, now.

What the f*ck is her
role in all this?

Get answers or I'm
gonna f*ck you!

Okay.

Okay, nothing.

Move your ass and
get to work, f*ck.

Done.

Get out of here.

I want to get out of here!

You better get out.

Out of here!

Don't come in here.

Do not come in here. No,
no, no. Uh-uh. Uh-uh.

Hello?

Go away.

Go away. You're not
supposed to be in here.

Hello?

I'm Amber.

This is my room.

Won't you get out of here?

Okay.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

What day is it?

I don't know.

- Are you trying to confuse me?
- Not at all.

I didn't know you were in here.

The door was unlocked.

- What day is it?
- I don't know.

I will not speak to
you, in that case.

Are you German?

How long have you been here?

Is that a toothbrush?

You can't have it!

- The music is so loud.
- There's no music.

- The music is so loud. Too loud!
- There's no music.

- Hey, hey! Hey!
- Stop!

Listen.

They turned the
music off. It's over.

There was...

There was no music.

So, I... Now I
know you're a liar.

Thank you very much.

Liar.

I would like to know
how 500 million points

of mega data got
pushed in four weeks.

I don't know. I do not kn...

Amber, no. What are
you doing, Amber?

No, no, no. What are you doing?

This is not right. Not like
this. You use your hamstrings.

I do it like this.
You do it like this.

What is your problem?
Why you never talk to me?

I've tried. It's hard.

No, you don't. Not really.
You don't really talk to me.

Not from the heart.

Hey.

Have you ever been diagnosed
with schizophrenia?

You imagine things that aren't real,
like that music, the music playing.

Hallucinations are a
feature of schizophrenia.

Maybe if I'm crazy, I shouldn't
tell you that I'm leaving.

I'm leaving in November.
It's been decided.

And, if you want me to,

I can maybe call your family,
let them know you're here.

You're very
fortunate to have me.

Can I ask you a question?

Ja.

Why do you get to move around
wherever you want all by yourself?

They let you go anywhere.

- I earn it.
- How?

They love free labor.

If I earn five
minutes by myself…

swim across.

You can't escape
from here. Never.

You want a tip though? Don't
drink the soup. It's poisoned.

The soup?

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

Do you have a family?

Sí.

I got Amber!

Alex!

Just wanted to say thank you.

Will you take this?
It's just a gift.

Adios, chicas.

Thank you.

That's not the way
to get... Escape.

You know a better one?

Yeah, I do. But I can't tell you.
They will k*ll me immediately.

- Don't you wanna get out?
- Yeah, I am.

- No, you're not.
- Yes, I am.

- I am!
- The only way out is with me.

It's with me.

Look.

Okay.

Careful. Careful.

I thought you said
it was poisoned.

It is. Nasty dr*gs.
Who cares? I'm leaving.

Might as well enjoy.

May I have yours?

No.

It's not poisoned.
You want my soup.

Nein. Amber, w... was?

I got you.

I got your number.

It means,

"When you see the gold,
you've found El Dorado."

Let's talk about
something that's real.

It's real. It's all around us.

Hey.

Nice to see you. You look nice.

Look, I have... I
have a new theory.

And I... I think
it's pretty good.

Our partners from Russia
and Cuba pulled your travel.

I asked them for help…

…with you because they have
advanced capabilities...

I like to travel.

And they have you at
Kleiner Tiergarten Park.

In Berlin, August 25th, 2019.

What?

Two days before
you arrived there,

a Chechen separatist got k*lled
by a suppressed Glock 26.

You think I k*lled him.

Of course you didn't
k*ll him, Amber.

The FSB k*lled him. You were
sent in to map the scene.

- And that's you, first in.
- I was just a tourist.

There was probably 10,000
tourists there that day.

And that's what you were
doing at the border.

You were mapping our network,
assessing our ties to the villages.

Oh, my God. Oh, my
God, Tommy. Timmy?

Or is it Tomás?

Look, I'm your prisoner.
I'll say anything you want.

You can make me say anything you
want, so cut out all this bullshit.

- Let's do our tape.
- Okay, okay.

I'm just clearing up the
air. Just giving you my news.

So talk about the
School of Americas,

all the assassination bullshit,

and whatever new piece you
were setting up in Venezuela.

And look at me. Look
at me, not the camera.

Tell us why you are here.

My name is Amber Chesborough.

I'm a botanist and
a pharmacologist,

and I'm being held as
a prisoner in Venezuela

because they think that
I'm part of the CIA.

Are you f*cking
with me right now?

Sorry, I just had to
get that out there.

Oh, my God. Okay.

Just explain to me the
School of Americas thing.

Like, what e... what exactly it
is, and if it's related to cocaine,

'cause I wanna say it right.

I'm sorry. I don't know.

I don't know what the
CIA does around here,

and you f*cking know that,
you sadistic bastard.

Amber, I'm t-trying to help you.

This is how you and I survive.

Okay, then just
tell me what to say.

- It doesn't work that...
- Tell me what to say. Give me the line.

It doesn't work that way, okay?

My name is Amber Chesborough.

The daughter of
Maggie, an artist.

The sister of Alex,
a decorated soldier.

And the wife of Eric
Haas, a decorated soldier.

And I'm being held against
my will in Venezuela.

Unreal.

I surprised you, huh? Huh?

You came to this region to
hurt people. Admit that much.

To punish us until
we become like you.

But the truth is that democracy
is dead in North America,

and we don't want
to imitate you.

We reject your influence.

Oh, so what, you f*cking
corrupt little baby?

But don't get like that, Amber.
I'm talking about the old you.

- Now you've changed.
- No, I'm completely the same.

- Oh, no, Amber.
- Yeah. Yeah, I am.

Amber, I've seen you.

Now you're making friends here, huh?
Like the people in the cocaine lab.

America should no
longer treat Venezuela

as the enemy any more than we
treat ourselves as the enemy.

We're all human beings, and we
deserve equal treatment under God.

We have one good one.
I need ten more like.

America has done awful things
to Venezuela over the years.

- Our leaders are flawed. They're capable...
- Okay, that's... that's good. Good.

- Yeah, okay.
- It's generic.

You don't want to
talk about the CIA.

It's okay. Fine. So what?

Now we're making a
propaganda tape, okay?

So you don't have to believe
it. It's make-believe.

It's for the TV. It's
for the Internet.

If my brother sees
me trashing the US…

He will understand.
He's... He's not naive.

He has risked his
life for this country.

- Let's move on.
- I just...

- I can't do it to him.
- Amber, let me make this easy for you.

I will move you to
the men's prison.

This is the last time
I'm gonna hit record.

My name is Amber Chesborough…

and I'd like to make a
statement about America.

The people that I know

who work for the
American government…

believe that they can make
the world a better place.

That's America.

This childish idea that
is worth dying for…

…that we can make the
world a better place.

Despite perhaps the
most obvious evidence.

I'm going to grab some air.

When I come back, we're
gonna do it again.

I'm not allowed more
than three pumps of soap.

I fake most of my orgasms.

I want to rip out the
cat's whiskers sometimes.

I have been having
super psychotic dreams.

I don't like the
look of raisins.

I never knew my father.
He-he left when I was little.

And I heard from my brother
that he's a good dancer.

My father was wonderful.

My mother was the devil. She
prepared me for espionage.

My rich husband hates me.

He's so angry with me,

and that's why he's gonna
leave me in here to die.

That's absurd.

When I get out, I'll call them
and let them know you're here.

He's gonna come
here immediately.

I can't hear God anymore.

I keep trying to remember
what he sounds like.

God sounds like flapping
wings. My husband hates me.

He's gonna leave
me here because…

I lied to him.

I don't think your husband
would abandon someone so pretty.

You're so pretty. Is
that why he married you?

No. It was to prove something to himself,
that he wasn't his father, you know?

- But I shouldn't talk...
- But he kept you safe. He kept you safe.

But he looked down on me…

secretly.

If I'm honest…

I never loved him.

Okay. I don't believe that.

I don't wanna play this anymore.

Oh, no, no. I'm not
finished. I'm not finished.

You refuse to believe that the
person you love lied to you.

It's too shocking a discovery,

so you cover the trauma
with rationalizations

that the whole marriage
was a kind of fraud.

But you loved him.

No, I just said that I do not
love him. I just said that.

You're lying to yourself.

Forget about me, but why
is Amber lying to Amber?

No. I'm not taking therapy from
somebody who's mentally ill.

What if I am? So?

I'm still a lot smarter
than you, Amber.

And I received training at the
BND in personality analysis.

It's a lot harder
than studying plants.

I see you, my friend. I see you.

Hey. Did you sleep?

No.

Life is good. And
the work's good.

Stay there.

Amberline, where would I go?

You said you had a plan
to escape. What is it?

What do I do? Like,
where do I go?

Hey, they... they cannot understand
you. They don't speak any English.

Hey, Fabiola, do you
speak English? No.

What about you, Maria?
Do you speak English? No.

Pedro? No, no, no, no,
no, no. No English.

You can escape, but you
will have to k*ll someone.

And it's obvious to me,
Amber, that you're no k*ller.

That is the core
problem, honestly.

That's what really worries
me, that you're no k*ller.

Hey. Hey. Tell me.

Behind the helicopter pad,
the guards leave an ATV.

They take it into the
jungle, not to... to patrol,

but to have sexual adventures.

So you take that ATV, and you-you take
it down the path to the waterfall.

And from there, to the river
that leads to the Amazon.

And then you follow the
current to civilization.

You understand?

Yeah. Yeah.

You can't even k*ll a guard. Why
are we even talking about this?

Oh, you'd be surprised.

I don't think so.
That's why I like you.

You're not innocent at all,
but you're also not bad.

So you're a confused mixture.
That's okay. I like it.

Hildy. Hildy. Hildy.

Hildy, let's go. Let's
go. The hole's ready.

Come on. Come on.

Oh, no, Amberline.
I can't leave.

Can't leave.

What? No. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Let's go.

My best friend.

I'm gonna make it.

Oh, my God.

She came this way!

f*ck.

Okay. Okay.

We are in a tough situation.

We're all family here.

Brothers, sisters,
friends, fathers, mothers.

And these women

have been given the
same privileges.

The guy by the ATV,
you didn't k*ll him.

Amberline, you'll be okay.

But what did they do? Huh?

They took advantage of it.

Our men were in a
dangerous situation.

Risking their lives to find her.

This is a difficult situation.

I don't know what you
want me to do, Amber.

I have 400 people working under me,
and I have to maintain discipline, so…

someone has to be punished.

Okay.

You tell me, Amber.

sh**t me, please. sh**t me.

I did it, I did it.
sh**t me. sh**t me.
