[ROY] Hey.

Hey, man.

- Good to see you.
- Yeah.

All good. Put them there. Right there.

[BAMBI] Yeah. Prince said
he called for reinforcements.

- [ROY] Yeah, just here to help out.
- Welcome to hell, brother.

[ROY CHUCKLES]

[BAMBI] How's our boy?

Yeah. I think he wants

Ah, f*ck. [BREATHING HEAVILY]

- Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.
- All right.

Your brother seems to want
you back. Can we trust him?

All I know is... [BREATHES HEAVILY]

... Tariq is not gonna lift
a finger to save me. Okay?

This will be another way
that I have embarrassed him,

and you don't know him, you
know? You don't know him.

He's... He's... He's not a good
person. He's a piece of sh*t.

So, you have to take me back, okay?

Just... I swear. Just-Just
take me back and I forget you.

I ever... [BREATHES HEAVILY] I
have money. I have a lot of money.

If you want money, I have a lot
of money, bro. Please, no, don't!

[MUMBLING] No, no, no!

No, no! [GRUNTS] No!

[GRUNTING, SCREAMS] f*ck!

How long we gonna wait

Tariq will call.

It's taking too long, man.
[BREATHES HEAVILY] Something's wrong.

Just saying, Tariq
would have called by now.

He knows we have his brother.

- I'd say this plan is clearly not working.
- [PRINCE SIGHS]

He ain't playing, man.

Just because it's taking longer
doesn't mean it's not working.

He wants his brother back, trust me.

Can we please talk?

[SNIFFS, SIGHS]

[SNIFFS]

[SIGHS]

Why are you here?

Sorry?

Why aren't you at work?

[SNIFFS]

Is Gloria okay?

Yes.

I just dropped her off at school.

I came back to get some documents.

[IN ENGLISH] Okay.

[IN SPANISH] She's also
worried about you, you know.

[SIGHS]

I am not going to pretend

- that I understand what you went through.
- [VIOLETA] No.

I appreciate that.

But...

can you help me understand?

I'm not a psychiatrist.

But I am your husband and I love you.

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[CLAMORING, SCREAMING]

- Violeta.
- What?

[ERNESTO SIGHS]

Look, I'm glad we're
finally talking about this.

I spoke to the General. He
explained everything to me.

[TABLET BEEPS]

What is that?

Where are you going?

To work.

To work?

- [SIGHS]
- [VIOLETA SNIFFS]

You've barely said words to me
or your daughter since you got back.

You were in a firefight
and almost got k*lled.

But you don't want my help,

you won't talk to anyone,
you won't see a therapist.

Look, your American friends.

[STAMMERS, SPEAKING SPANISH]

[SECRETARY] Ms. Matíz, I have read
your articles with great interest.

It was very brave of you
to help that American woman.

I don't know that I
could have done the same.

[VIOLETA] We had hoped for a
different outcome. I'm not that brave.

[CHUCKLES] In this office we
all think you were very brave.

Ms. Matíz, it's an honor, truly.

The President is waiting for you inside.

Violeta Matíz.

Nice to see you again.

Mr. President, thank you for
having me on such short notice.

I have been looking
forward to seeing you.

This way, please.

Now, let me say, first

that despite our best
efforts, there are still those

in our country who would
perpetuate this kind of v*olence.

I will be the first to admit,
if something had happened to you

it would have been a tragedy.

You are the most important
journalist in the country.

Thank you very much, sir.

A lot of young Colombian women
admire and look up to you.

Too bad our political views
are not completely in sync.

You're not exactly a
supporter of my party.

My personal political
beliefs are irrelevant, sir.

Yes, of course, you're objective.

In fact, that's what I'm counting
on, an objective observation.

That is the job.

So, what can I help you with?

There's a story I have been
working on for The Times

and I would like your opinion about it.

It's about the kidnapping in Medellín.

It's likely that
Americans were behind it.

Here are some images

from the surveillance
cameras at the stadium.

I know who they are.

I had one of them on my show.

They're U.S. Special Forces.

Yes, this is being investigated.

My guess is that if I
have access to these images

the intelligence services
must have briefed you.

Did you give the DNI any special
instructions on how to handle them?

Sir, why weren't they arrested?

Why haven't they been
questioned at least?

You know I can't speak about
an ongoing investigation.

If you'll excuse me.

My aide will put you in touch
with somebody from the m*llitary

who can answer any further
questions or concerns.

Yes, of course.

Now, there's a small matter
that needs my attention.

Thank you very much for your time.

- [PRESIDENT] Nice to see you.
- [VIOLETA] Excuse me.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

- [IN ENGLISH] Times. Lindgren.
- Hey. It's Violeta.

[LINDGREN] Hey, V. What's up?

[VIOLETA] The president was
evasive. That's to be expected.

[LINDGREN] Well, yes, I suppose.

[VIOLETA] At this point,
I am almost certain

- the CIA is involved with these guys.
- [SPEAKING SPANISH]

[SQUEALS]

I mean, how else will you explain
why they are not being arrested?

What I still don't know is where
my country pans out in this.

Are they helping or not?

I have to admit... [SIGHS]

- ... I'm afraid we're slipping back in time...
- [CHATTERING IN SPANISH, LAUGHING]

... to when the US did whatever
they wanted to in Colombia.

[LINDGREN] Yeah, well,
you may be on to something.

There may be dangerous times ahead,
but you just keep digging, okay?

- Hang in there, champ.
- Mm-hmm.

[NATALIE SIGHS]

The famous Violeta Matíz.

You've been busy lately.

Are you tracking me?

I don't track you.

We get reports from the Colombian
side. They track the sh*t out of you.

[EXHALES SHARPLY] I'm writing
about the American SF guys.

I know them, and I
know what they're doing.

That sounds like an interesting story.

Yeah. It is.

They have help.

It's you, right?

Yeah. It's you.

Hey. So where we at?

[PRINCE] Still waiting.

You decided what you wanna do?

[PRINCE] We can't do that
here. We need to be more remote.

I'll make it happen.

Copy that.

Listen, uh... [SIGHS]
slight complication.

Your, uh... Your mother-in-law's here.

[PRINCE] What?

[GASPS] Give your mama
some sugar. [KISSES]

[KISSES]

Why are you here?

Well, you know, that's just what
I said to you when you were born.

But you turned out all right.

I'm sorry, Mom, but...
Listen, I don't understand.

What's to understand, son?

You're here, Amber's here,
my son-in-law is here.

When y'all left we were family.
That hasn't changed, right?

Right.

Hey, don't worry about
me, son, I can be useful.

I know, Mom.

I'm just saying, it'd
be nice if you gave me

a little heads-up, that's all.

I texted you, didn't I?

Jesus, everybody but me needs
to be coddled all the time.

Thank you.

There's a bad guy tied up
in the bedroom on the right.

This is our bedroom. This
is where we're gonna sleep.

[STAMMERS] What's all this?

It's a small arsenal.

What are you planning, son?

[SIGHS]

[STAMMERS] Amber was taken
to a black site facility

near the border of Venezuela.

[INHALES SHARPLY]
I tracked her there but, uh,

it was very heavily guarded, and
a straight-up extraction is tricky.

And the CIA isn't gonna help.

[SIGHS] Well, there's
a f*cking surprise.

But Prince did find out

that the guy that runs the prison system

in Venezuela has a younger brother.

So, we grabbed him and brought him here.

Straight-up hostage swap, then?

Yeah.

Then why all the
hardware? That your plan B?

No, plan B is something else.

You're gonna need to hear this.
Everyone is right where we want them.

Tariq is on edge 'cause
he knows we're serious,

and we have his brother.

Now, this shouldn't take
much. Use a light touch.

I ain't doing any of it. You're the pro.

Don't believe everything you hear, man.

Especially when it's coming
from other people at the Agency

who are just trying to
cover their own asses.

Right. Well, let's just

I'll call Tariq. You get him warmed up.

He wants to talk to
you. Wanna talk to him?

I tried to simplify
this for you, my brother.

[TARIQ] What's going on?

Hello?

Hello?

Where the f*ck's he going?

[MOMO WHIMPERING]

[BAMBI] All right.

[PRINCE] This is going
the wrong way, Tariq.

Three of your men are dead.

[TARIQ] I hope you're
proud of yourself. Hmm?

Kidnapping a harmless puppy like
my brother and then torturing him.

Is this what they teach
you in your Special Forces?

[PRINCE] What you
should be concerned about

is that this is only the
beginning of what they teach us.

[TARIQ] Either way,
it will do you no good.

As far as Amber is
concerned, my hands are tied.

- The decision is over my head now.
- Bullshit.

You control the prisons,
you control the facility.

You're Maduro's second in
command. Everyone knows it.

You can let her go.

You're wrong. You're hurting
an innocent man for nothing.

We're just getting started.

This is serious, brother.

They are animals.

[IN ENGLISH] I don't think you get it.

If I attach this wire, he's ruined.
You understand what that means?

This is pointless. Don't you think
I would release her if I could?

She means nothing to me at all.

But I cannot help her because
your wife was spying for the CIA.

Part of their new school
of the America's program.

You can pretend all you want,
but you know this is true.

My brother. My brother
is a foolish performer

- whose family has disowned him.

- [MOMO] Please, brother. [YELLS]
- [TARIQ] Momo. Momo!

[IN SPANISH] This is happening
because you are a traitor.

I am not a traitor.

I have always been loyal
to you and to the regime.

Please help me, forgive me. [CRIES]

What the f*ck do you want, huh?

For the government and your
brother to save your ass?

Is that what you want?

Well, no.

As far as I'm concerned,
they can k*ll you like a dog.

[PRINCE] I don't care
how much you hate him.

He's still your brother. You
think I don't know what that means?

I think that like
every spoiled American,

you think that everyone
is just like you.

Don't test me! That's a
mistake. I know what I am.

[TARIQ] And I know what you are
too, Eric. A rich, arrogant boy.

Had you come to me with just a
small amount of humility or respect,

this could be different.
But you are all the same.

You think you can frighten us
into doing anything you want?

But now, Amber is going
to rot in that prison

for the rest of her life.

And I will double, triple
my forces surrounding it.

And I will let them do
whatever they wish to her,

until she will be unrecognizable.

I'm not testing you,
Eric. I'm b*ating you.

I will t*rture him,
then I will k*ll him.

And then, then I'll come for you.

Yeah, and I will leave the door open.

[BAMBI SIGHS]

[BAMBI] I know you can do it.

You can jam comms from that black
site back to the Venezuelan army.

Just scramble the radio for two hours.

[NATALIE] First, I wanna
talk about Medellín.

Please don't tell me that
Mitch did that to help you.

Why else would he do it?

[INHALES] Do you really
think that a guy at his level,

just below the seventh floor,

comes down here to help
you with a kidnapping?

Who did you kidnap?

The brother of a minister
who runs a black site, sure,

but that's not all. What
else does he control?

He's got his fingers in the
m*llitary, the presidency.

Think about the bigger picture.

Come on, let's walk.

[BAMBI] I'm gonna hit this facility,

and I need you to jam their satellites

and slow down the VZ air support.

I need two hours.

But what would it achieve?

- I'd get her out.
- What else?

What is Mitch doing here?

And what will it serve if
you jack up that minister?

If you do a cross-border raid?

Think about the history.

Go back years.

United States Objectives and Programs
for National Security, NSC .

The document that
President Truman signed

made rolling back communism
the single highest priority.

[CROWD CHEERING]

I mean, can you imagine
how f*cking hard that is?

[PHONE RINGING]

[NATALIE] Replacing left-wing

m*llitary takeovers. Coups. Protect

I mean, do you understand
how invested we are down here?

It's a lifetime commitment.

We're the ones who
did Argentina, Bolivia,

Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba,

Dominican Republic,
Guatemala, Nicaragua,

Paraguay, Panama and Venezuela.

The CIA's number one client
is the CIA. Never forget that.

Mitch wants a w*r. The agency needs one,

- and you're gonna give it to them.
- I don't care.

They don't give a sh*t
if you live or die.

We're gonna do this
cross-border operation.

- We're gonna hit their black site.
- [NATALIE SIGHS]

f*ck up the cocaine, steal a prisoner.

It's an instigation. The
Venezuelans will overreact.

They'll hit Colombia,

and it'll spiral into a
low-intensity conflict.

Pretty soon, it's a w*r.

I don't give a f*ck.
I'm pretty good at w*r.

And how many Venezuelan lives are
you willing to trade for your sister?

[SCOFFS] I don't know. How
many you got? A million?

- It was a shitty question.
- Yeah.

I'm sorry for the lecture.

I just needed to know
that you were self-aware.

[PRINCE] Listen, I'm not
officially part of Mitch's program,

so I haven't been read into
everything you've been doing for him.

But I have a job.

My op is a hostage rescue for my
wife, and take down a black site.

- It's complicated and dangerous...
- Okay.

... but it pays very well.

Need about men total.

Now, how well do you
men know the border?

[MERCENARY] Well enough to know

if we are doing something on their side.

The Venezuelan army will
be problem if they come.

[BAMBI] Are you gonna
give me the two hours?

[NATALIE] No. The best
I can do is minutes.

[BAMBI] Forty-eight minutes.

You have minutes before Caracas
receives word you're attacking.

Forty-eight minutes?
That's the best you can do?

You gotta give me more time.

[NATALIE] In on the way
home from the moon landing,

They were hurtling toward destruction.

no navigation equipment.

When they calculated the fuel
burn to readjust their flight path,

it came out to seconds of burn time.

They had seconds to save themselves.

Good luck.
