[AMBER BREATHING HEAVILY]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

[CHATTER FADES]

[SIGHS]

[TARIQ, IN SPANISH] Who is it?

It's your brother.

[MOMO] Look, I left this shitty place.

And I have worked hard to make my music.

To be an artist, to have
nothing to do with you.

And then two f*cking
psychopaths come out of nowhere.

They kidnap me, drug me, and t*rture me.

All because of you, assh*le.

You didn't do sh*t!

I sent some people

but they were k*lled.

And if I said you were a f*cking traitor

it was to protect your ass.

What did you want me to say?

That you're my little brother?

That I love you?

Hmm?

They would've k*lled
you like an assh*le.

You don't love anyone.

If that's what you think...

why are you here?

Hmm?

I came here so we could
talk like civilized people.

Like grown-ups.

Talk.

Let the American woman go.

Her family told me that she's innocent.

You have the power.

Release her, forget about her.

Those guys are rats.

They're f*cking K*llers.

But what would you know? Hmm?

For years you've been
living the good life.

Hmm?

Traveling.

Chasing ass.

Playing your music.

[BREATHES SHAKILY]

They electrocuted my balls.

You think I did that to you?

Do you think I did that to you?

Can you or can't you do something?

[PRINCE, IN ENGLISH] Nice
road for a sports car.

[SOFT ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

Where are we?

[CAR ENGINE REVS]

No.

[SCREAMS]

Now, which one is you? Which one?

I told you who the f*ck I am!

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

[CHILDREN CHUCKLING]

[CHUCKLES]

- [YOUNG AMBER] Snow ball!
- [GIGGLING]

[LAUGHS]

- Lay down! You stay the f*ck down!
- [CRIES]

Shut up!

Shut your mouth! [GROANS]

[MAGGIE] Stop!

[YOUNG AMBER] Mom!

- [BOYFRIEND] You're gonna f*cking learn!
- [GASPS]

[BOYFRIEND] f*cking listen to me.

- [WHIMPERS]
- [MAGGIE GROANING]

- [TOMÁS] Do it.
- [g*nsh*t]

[YOUNG AMBER CRIES]

[BOTH BREATHING HEAVILY]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[YOUNG BAMBI BREATHES HEAVILY]

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

[GROANS]

Hey.

I'm bad. I'm bad.

I'm so bad.

You're not bad.

[BREATHES SHAKILY]

You're Bambi.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[BIRDS SQUAWKING]

[CHICKENS CROWING]

[DOGS BARKING]

[HORN HONKS]

- [WALKIE-TALKIE BEEPS]
- Yeah. Let him in.

- [WALKIE-TALKIE BEEPS]
- [SPEAKING SPANISH]

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

- Hola. [SPEAKS SPANISH]
- [JAVI, IN ENGLISH] Hey, man.

You ready to make some money?

I don't know, man.

Are you sure it's okay?

It's all good.

Come meet some of my friends.

- Come on.
- [SIGHS]

Okay.

You're safe here, bro.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah. I'm gonna look after you.

Don't you worry.

[TOMÁS] A mosquito.

Only the female bites.

You know, she is the leading
cause of death in human history?

More so than any other cause.

Malaria. Zika. West Nile.
Yellow Fever. Dengue.

Mind your head.

[TOMÁS] You admire it.

I do. Yeah.

Some people think she may
have k*lled the dinosaurs.

This is Javi. He knows the
place better than anyone.

And he's one of us now.

You've s... seen this video?

You gotta watch it,
man. You gotta see this.

Hey, Javi. Mucho gusto.

[AMBER] She's the
undisputed k*ller of man.

The destroyer of worlds.

She's fed on both saints, emperors.

Young, old. Black, white. Male, female.

She doesn't discriminate.
It's all for blood.

[PRINCE] She's lost
it. She's not well, man.

It's all for survival.

Yeah. Well, it doesn't even
sound like her, brother.

- She's traumatized.
- Listen...

This is the beginning of
serious mental illness, dude.

Yeah. We got a bigger problem.

[BAMBI] Tell him what
you told me. It's okay.

Uh, t... There is a rumor in the prison,

uh, that Amber is going to be ex*cuted.

Tariq wants revenge for
what you did to his brother.

I... They don't want
you coming to rescue her.

When?

[SIGHS] I don't know,
man. Maybe in a few days.

Tomás doesn't want to...
to do it, but eventually,

it would happen, you know.

Is it only Tariq?

Anybody else have the authority
to order her execution?

He's the boss, man.

[PRINCE] I'll call Mitch.

I'll handle it.

Gracias, Javi.

Gracias, amigo.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

[AMBER BREATHING HEAVILY]

[TOMÁS SIGHS]

Okay, Amber.

Third time is the charm, hmm?

[SIGHS]

Is it because of Hildy?

- [AMBER] Yeah.
- [TOMÁS] Hmm?

Is that why you're not cooperating?

Why then, Amber? [SPEAKS SPANISH]

Because you drugged me with
the wrong compound, Tommy.

Uh... [SIGHS, SCOFFS]

Some kind of hallucinogen.

I've just been having
these really vivid daydreams

of you being blown to pieces.

- [g*n COCKS]
- [g*n FIRES]

[CHUCKLES]

See, this drug, whatever it is,
it doesn't make me afraid of you.

- Okay.
- [AMBER CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLING]

Today is Monday, Amber.

This here, this day is Saturday.

It's a national holiday and
it's also the day I was told

I'm supposed to k*ll you.

I don't want to k*ll
you, but I will. Saturday.

This is the day that
you're going to die.

Please nod if you understand.

I'll take that as a "yes".

["THE MAN COMES AROUND" PLAYING]

[SONG ENDS]

- [ASSISTANT] Hi. Your name, please?
- [MAGGIE] I'm not on the list.

I'm here to see Eric Haas II. I'm
his in-law. This is an emergency.

[ASSISTANT] I'm sorry,
ma'am. I can't help you.

Maggie Chesborough. He'll know.

- [WALKIE-TALKIE CHATTER]
- Ray?

Ma'am, is there a problem?

You want me to make a scene?
Okay, I'll make a scene.

Eric Haas, get down here.

- Ma'am, I work for Mr. Haas.
- Hmm?

- He's not here right now. Can I help you?
- I doubt it.

- Mr. Haas?
- Ma'am?

Turn around and wait for me
at the bottom of the stairs

or I'm gonna call the Sheriff.

Please, ma'am.

Go on. It'll be okay.

[LINE RINGING]

Hi, boss. Yeah, she's right here.

[ERIC] Well, this is
a pleasant surprise.

[CHUCKLES] Are... Are
you really not here?

I flew back from Colombia and
drove all the way here to see you.

I'm... I'm here now, Maggie.

[SIGHS] Okay. The boys
are in trouble down there.

They've turned into criminals,
kidnapping people in broad daylight.

No, that's... that's... that's insane.

Your man, Roy, is dead.

Uh, Maggie, have you
been taking your pills?

You don't believe me? Call your son.

They're off the rails.
They are on the warpath.

There's nothing I can do if he
wants to throw away his life.

I told him to stay home and
let the professionals go,

and he said, "f*ck off, old man."

You know, our obligations
to our children

do not end when they're unkind to us.

[CHUCKLES]

They need a force multiplier.

[ERIC] Oh... [STAMMERS]
a force multiplier.

I-I-I didn't know you were such
an expert on m*llitary strategy.

Every grandfather, every father,

every single blessed
son in my family tree

has served in the United States m*llitary

since the days of Robert E. Lee.

And before that, my
blood fought the Apaches.

So, damn right, I know something
about m*llitary strategy.

Send help.

Protect your kin.

[SIGHS]

Any ideas?

Amber, it's Thursday.

In hours...

I'm going to have to k*ll you. Hmm?

We're wasting the last
of our precious time.

And I have to go to Caracas,
and I... I have to give a report.

[g*nsh*t]

[ANIMALS GROWLING]

This is the time to move.

[ANIMALS GROWLING]

Amber?

[TOMÁS SIGHS]

El Dorado.

Qué?

El Dorado.

[TOMÁS STAMMERS] Dorado?

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

Take her off the program.
We are wasting medicine.

[PRINCE] Are we falling asleep or what?

- [CROWD CHEERING]
- [POP MUSIC PLAYING]

Whoo-hoo! This party is
getting a little bit boring,

don't you think? Shall we
make it more interesting?

[CROWD CHEERING]

Shall I jump in this
f*cking freezing water?

[CROWD CHANTING] Jump!

[PRINCE] f*ck it. Let's jump! Here I go!

Should I do it?

[CROWD CONTINUES CHANTING]

[CROWD CHEERS]

["TAKE YOU THERE" PLAYING]

[AMBER] What are you doing up here?

Are you suicidal?

- Save me.
- [SHOUTS]

[CHUCKLES] Oh, f*ck.

[CHUCKLING] That wasn't funny. Sorry.

Cool watch. Did your
daddy buy that for you?

You know, you're, like, the only
girl at this party who's not rich.

And I bet you got a
daddy with a shotgun too

- somewhere in Tennessee.
- [AMBER] Georgia.

No daddy. But I got a brother who
knows his way around a crossbow.

Primitive. I like it.

[AMBER] Actually, you should meet him.

[PRINCE CHUCKLES] Why?
So he can kick my ass?

[AMBER] No, 'cause I can
tell you've got a problem

with finding meaning in your life.

He deals with guys like you all
the time. You know, lost souls.

[PRINCE] Is he a therapist?

[RADIO MUSIC PLAYING]

Special Forces.

[AMBER INHALES SHARPLY] Mmm.

[PRINCE] Wow.

- You weren't kidding, huh?
- Come on.

- This is legit redneck.
- [CHUCKLES]

- [AMBER] Hey.
- Hey.

- Shut up.
- [PRINCE] Hey, man.

- Sorry, man.
- Just give me your f*cking hand.

Anyone who's good with my
sister, is good with me.

[BAMBI] Why don't you take a go?

Now, the biggest thing
when you're holding a Kn*fe

and there's blood and slippery,

is you make sure you cut the
f*cking deer and not your fingers.

Cut down here. You'll
feel where the hardness is,

- you'll end up with a nice loin.
- [PRINCE] You can feel it?

[KIDNAPPER SPEAKS SPANISH]

[AMBER GROANING, GRUNTING]

[KIDNAPPER SPEAKS SPANISH]

[AMBER SHOUTS]

[KIDNAPPER SPEAKS SPANISH]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[SHOUTING] Hey!

[AMBER] Bambi?

Is that you?

Hey, Bug. It's me.

How'd you get in here?

That's what I do, kiddo.

Why do you look so down? Huh?

A little deprivation is no big deal.

No food?

[INHALES SHARPLY]

When we hit Tora Bora to hunt
bin Laden, we had to choose.

Carry b*ll*ts or carry food.

I lost pounds in
two weeks. [CHUCKLES]

It's just mental.

[BAMBI, ECHOING] It's just mental.

This isn't real. It's a hallucination.

[INHALES DEEPLY] Well, the good
thing is nobody can k*ll me.

[WATER DRIPPING]

Bambi?

[MITCH] Welcome to my
home away from home.

Yeah. What's up?

Bambi wanted me to talk
to you about the exfil.

[PRINCE] Is this the condition?

- Tell your guys it'll make them safer.
- [SCOFFS] Is that true?

It's true that, if
you wear those patches

and present as Colombian m*llitary,

I can get you out.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Bambi agreed to this?

Mm-hmm. You're the last domino.

[SIGHS] f*ck me.

You're turning this into a
false flag operation, huh?

You're using us to create
instability on the border.

I am not doing anything at all.

You asked for an exfil, all right?

That takes dedicated
resources. Backside support.

I have to get up on Colombia's
comms. Reposition satellites.

Peacetime, that's a no.

Everyone's constipated.

State of emergency, things get looser.

Now, give me a little w*r...

the juices start to flow.

[PRINCE] You're right.

It's just straight.

[SOLDIER, IN SPANISH] Gentlemen!

Everyone down quickly,

I don't want anyone
sleeping. We don't have time.

[IN ENGLISH] You Tiburon?

- Sí, señor.
- Mucho gusto.

What have you been told?

Just you are the boss.

[BAMBI] Good.

[PRINCE CHUCKLES]

We're good.

Raise your hand if you speak English.

Okay, that's good.

So, first things first.

Nobody, not even your family,

should know you're
involved in this, okay?

You all need to think long
and hard about the money.

When we get Amber,

there's gonna be a bonus on
top of your initial salary.

If that's your only motivation,
then y'all need to reconsider.

Because we may ask you to do
something for which there is no price.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

[PRINCE] We value civilian lives.

But make no mistake, we're bringing
my wife home no matter what.

[BAMBI] He and I, we're here for family.

We're here to save an innocent woman.

A daughter, a wife and a sister.

You should be here for honor, for glory.

Doing something f*cking
meaningful with your life.

Now, that may sound
cheesy to some of you.

We don't really give a sh*t.

If it does, you can leave
right now. No hard feelings.

[IN SPANISH] They're
fighting to save their family.

We need to be here for honor.

If you're not, leave.

- Understood?
- Understood.

[PRINCE, IN ENGLISH] Good.

We've labeled the buildings through .

[PRINCE] As you can
see, the place is huge.

My team, Alpha, will come in on
the north side with building -.

We'll clear that. Set an overwatch.

[BAMBI] I'm taking Bravo team
across to the west side of the lake.

Oso, you're leading Charlie
team coming in on the south side

near guard tower .

You set your overwatch on
the roof of building -.

Tiburon, you'll take Delta team

on the east side and
cover the main gate.

Once all teams are in their
set points, we'll start at -,

which Javi has confirmed
connects to the prison, -.

[IN SPANISH] There's maybe
families living and working there.

The Narcos keep watch
over every single one.

It's a self sustainable city.
No one is allowed to leave.

Wait a sec, you said families?

At least .

[IN ENGLISH] How do we find
her with so many people there?

Especially at night.

[BAMBI] We're gonna be using
these ultra quiet drones.

Prototype, next-generation technology.

[PRINCE] Now, the drones
cannot locate Amber,

but they can distinguish
friend from foe.

They have the ability
to detect firearms.

So if this person here
or here had a firearm,

they'd be blinking red, not blue.

[BAMBI] There are two bad things
that can happen on this mission.

Number one, we get compromised.

The other bad thing can
happen is we can't find her.

When we go in, we will use stealth.

We will use surprise.

And any chance of discovery needs
to be dealt with immediately.

[PRINCE] Because there is
no way we can safely search

thousands of square
feet of interior space

within our mission parameters.

We cannot get into a prolonged
gunfight with them, or we will lose.

- [CHANTING IN SPANISH]
- [BAMBI] The good news is,

we know where she is.

She's gonna be where she always is,

in building -, or the cocaine lab.

And we have that on good authority
from our human intelligence.

He's gonna become your new best friend.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

[BAMBI] She's kept in
the prison every night.

[WHISTLES]

[PRINCE] Bravo team is
going to search building -.

We expect them to encounter an
accountant who may be working late.

He will be subdued quietly,

and then they will proceed
to search building -,

the first and the second floor,
where they will locate Amber.

At which point the teams
will begin to withdraw.

Bravo team will retrace its steps.

Overwatch positions go back
to where they started from,

and we pull out without
anybody being the wiser.

[BAMBI] Now, it is very important

that we preserve these
overwatch positions.

Because if we lose
them, we cannot search.

Now, we're gonna put on these
uniforms and Colombian tags.

From now on, this is a
Colombian m*llitary op.

'Cause we believe they will fold faster

if they think that we're Colombian army.

Now, I want you to say it in Spanish.

[IN SPANISH] We are Colombian m*llitary.

[PRINCE, IN ENGLISH] Exactly. Say it.

[IN SPANISH] We are Colombian m*llitary.

[PRINCE, IN ENGLISH] We
gotta move fast though.

We only have minutes to do this job.

At this point,

they will get their chance to
call the VZ m*llitary for support.

If anybody gets jammed up, the
mission continues. We wait for nobody.

[BAMBI] Check your gear. Study
your maps. Learn the layout cold.

We launch tonight.

[PRESIDENT, IN SPANISH] You know
that we are % in the business.

I think the important thing

that we bring to the
table now, with us here,

is our connections with the most
important people in Venezuela.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

That bullshit of bourgeois connections,

hanging out with the
elite, the powerful,

that was in the past.

Yes, that is true.

We are the elite now.

Let's speak clearly here.

Are you or are you not
with the government?

Is there or isn't there
money for the government?

I'm gonna tell you
again, for the third time

- we are % in it.
- [TARIQ] Wow. Wow.

- [TARIQ SPEAKS SPANISH]
- Revolution, yes or no?

Yes, all the way!

[TOMÁS] Three hours
going in circles with this.

[ALL SPEAK SPANISH]

The final strike.

Please, speaking about the final strike,

I can't with the topic of bullfights.

It's become a religion for my husband.

- The bullfights are better than religion.
- [TOMÁS CHUCKLES]

What do you think,
Tariq? Does it offend you?

[STAMMERS]

- Offend me?
- [PRESIDENT] Huh?

[TARIQ] I don't know a
thing about bullfighting.

[PRESIDENT] You have to come
to the bullfights with me.

Bullfighting to me is too violent.

I may have thousands of defects

but I'm not violent, no.

Never.

You don't like v*olence?

Is that right, Momo?

He doesn't like v*olence?

- [TARIQ] I've never liked v*olence.
- [TOMÁS] No?

Does blood scare you, Tariq?

You're being funny.

Are you scared of the
bull's blood, the horns?

He's being funny.

- This guy's an animal!
- [TARIQ] Huh? Huh?

[TOMÁS SPEAKS SPANISH]

You're being funny.

[BOTH SPEAKING SPANISH]

[TOMÁS] Come on, what's wrong?

What's wrong with you?

Calm down. Look, he's not violent.

- Sit down.
- [SPEAKS SPANISH]

[TOMÁS, TARIQ, SPEAKING SPANISH]

[TARIQ] I apologize.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

[CLEARS THROAT]

People around here
forget who is the boss.

[TARIQ] Hmm?

[CHUCKLES]

Well, cheers!

[PATRONS SPEAK SPANISH]

[TARIQ] Long live the revolution.

[PRESIDENT'S PARTNER] For
good and new things to come.

[PRESIDENT] Nothing like
doing business with friends.

Cheers to all the good things ahead.

[TARIQ] I'm really happy
to have you back, brother.

My apologies about
what happened up there.

But that idiot got stupid.

That's normal.

Brothers fight.

We always fight for bullshit
reasons. Even us, too.

- Yes, but you always start.
- All right then.

That may be, but who saves your ass?

Me.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

Huh?

- [SPEAKS SPANISH]
- [ENGINE RATTLES]

[ENGINE REVS]

[g*n sh*ts]

[TIRES SQUEALING]

[MOMO BREATHING HEAVILY]

Tariq.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

[PHONE RINGS]

- Yeah.
- [MITCH] It's done. You go tonight.

[SIGHS]

Tariq is off the board.

[BAMBI] Good.

[STATIC ON RADIO]

[BAMBI] We should be offering
these guys more money.

[PRINCE] Nah, it was enough.

[BAMBI] For what we're
asking them to do?

Unfortunately, life is cheap down here.

The money we gave them, we can have
them for a month of gunslinging.

We're only asking for one night.

[SIGHS]

Can I ask you a question
I never asked before?

Sure.

Why'd you join?

- What?
- I mean, you got all that money.

Do what the f*ck you want.

Why did you want to f*ck
around with us in the m*llitary?

You know the answer to that.

[CHUCKLING] No. Actually, I don't.

[CHUCKLES] What?

It was because of you.

I looked up to you.

Why?

f*ck, man. I need to tell you something.

[SMACKS LIPS] I didn't
really f*ck up with Drifter

the way you think I did.

So, you're saying Drifter
was in a survivable state?

Maybe.

I don't think so.

But ultimately it didn't matter,

because I had to choose
about getting him or...

or pulling you off the mountain.

This has been eating me alive, man.

And filling me with a
coldness towards you.

You know, I don't understand.
Why couldn't you get us both?

[BAMBI] Drifter was on the south side.

If I ran to him, I wasn't
able to double back and get you

because the Taliban were
maneuvering on our flank.

- Yeah.
- And they would've pinned me with Drifter.

[SCOFFS]

And once I was in his position,

the only way off that
mountain was the south side,

- which would have meant...
- [PRINCE SIGHS]

leaving you behind.

You could've come for me, and then
we could've gotten Drifter together.

No.

There was no time.

I've been doing this
for years, you know.

Deployed times.

Eight confirmed kills. I've been
given every award you can think of.

And I'm telling you,
as God is my witness,

one of you guys would
have d*ed that day.

No f*cking doubt about it.

[INHALES, EXHALES SHARPLY]

sh*t, man. I don't know
what to say. I, uh...

I love you, man.

I loved Drifter.

I guess I wish you would have saved him.

He had two kids, you know.

He comes home. Yes or no?

Yeah.

Sometimes I wish I would
have saved Drifter too.

[MOTOR STARTS]

- Good luck. See you there.
- Gracias.
