[TIN TUN] He said you were

If that's who they really were.

Marquez's competition
was already wiped out.

Then perhaps our payments didn't
make it to the right people.

Have you contacted our team in Mexico?

I haven't contacted anyone.

And since Miller left office,
all communication to that team

has been through him.
Now, if you'll excuse me...

- I might ask you to wait.
- For what?

They want to speak to you.

Luckily they have my number.

I'm going to see my family.

They still don't know I'm alive.

I might ask you to wait.

Don't ever tell me what the f*ck
to do or when to do it.

I no longer answer to you.

Nor I you.

The only reason you're
in this position...

Because your family
sold out the operation,

and the new partners want
a check against the son

Oh, yes. I did everything she told me.

- Where'd you go?
- To the airport.

- No, Gawa, you didn't.

Did you know some families
can have the same dreams?

Well, what do you mean?

We all dreamt you went to the airport.

And if you got on that plane...

you would've woken up

safe and sound with us.

But that dream wasn't real.

And now we must face what's real.

So if anyone asks if you went
anywhere while I was gone,

you tell them you went
to the doctor, okay?

Now, this... is Mun.

[LAUGHS]

Mun is very special.

Because he cannot talk,

he's very good at keeping secrets.

Who?

That's what I'm trying

Domingo Chavez?

Born January , , East Los Angeles.

Yeah, I know who I am.

From what I read, you were
the top of your BUD/S class,

devoted to your country.

Not someone who would
hold a g*n to my head.

That sounds like the life you
were trying to run away from.

Thomas Miller.

That name mean anything to you?

The director.

Any interactions?

No.

We were run by this guy Walters. CIA.

Who now I know is anything but. Why?

Well, because the director of the CIA

doesn't usually personally
handle finances of ops.

And yet Miller's signature was
on every single page of Pluto.

- What else you got?
- Very little.

File's a cipher.

But from what I could translate,

it sounds like you carried out

over SOG missions across the globe.

Every single target a confirmed k*ll.

Never really clear
on who you were k*lling or why,

but it was clear why Miller chose you.

On paper, you might be
the deadliest operator

the CIA's ever employed.

See this? Now I'm blushing.

You know what?

You don't need my help.

But I sure as sh*t need yours.

I need to find out exactly

Yes.

Looking for clarity.

On my way to contact Miller now.

And if the reason isn't sufficient?

What about the strike team? Our man?

[SIGHS]

[CHAVEZ] His name is Chao Fah Sein.

Head of operations of the
Silver Lotus triad in Burma.

And I have no way of contacting him.

- How'd you meet him?
- [SIGHS]

months ago, I embedded myself
in the Marquez cartel

through my cousin Marin.

Cartels have more intel on
each other than we can ever get.

I was told to carry out
Marquez's wishes,

which was to eliminate competition.

Emilio was the last mark.

That's when Chao Fah contacted me.

What did he want?

He wanted to tell me the truth.

About?

Me.

He said my entire operation
was controlled by the triad.

That whoever was running us in
Washington was in their pockets.

When I tried to call bullshit,
he told me every detail

to every operation I ever carried out.

- In Mexico?
- [SCOFFS]

f*cking Mexico, Iran, Afghanistan.

He knew everything.

The names of the commanding officers,

team members, alive or dead.

Now, these operations you're running,

what did you think you were doing?

I thought I was helping.

You know, the-the man upstairs

says "Take out this target,
you save American lives,"

I rose up.

I didn't ask any questions.

Now I realize that those answers
are what buried my men.

But why would he reach out to you?

I mean, he wants out.

You know, he promised hard evidence.

He said the CIA is just the beginning,

and so were the dr*gs.

You're saying
the triad's using the cartel

for something other than dr*gs?

- You have evidence?
- No. No.

I mean, some assclown
named Morales mentioned it,

but I think he just
made it up for leverage.

But Chao Fah, you trust him?

Yeah. [SNIFFS]

Yeah. I stood right in front
of him, shook his hand.

And I guaranteed
the safety of his family.

Why?

Why would you take that risk?

[WRIGHT] Finally.

You ready to join us?

I'm ready to read you in.

[WRIGHT] So, where is Chavez now?

[JACK] I don't know.

Do you believe him?

Unfortunately.

If you take what he's saying,

the details of who's
involved and where...

...imagine the worst-case scenario.

There's someone else
who needs to hear this.

[JACK] Two nights ago,
a man named Domingo Chavez

broke into my home
and put a g*n to my head.

And he's one of ours.

Black ops.

He asked that I turn back on
Operation Pluto.

Which is?

One of the operations I had shut down.

The kind you and I discussed.

- And?
- [WRIGHT] And it involves Miller.

Directly.

Sir, I believe that the former director

may be an asset for Myanmar's
Silver Lotus triad.

That's a hell of an accusation.

Well, sir, Miller was manipulating

Chavez's black ops team as a w*apon.

- To what end?
- To eliminate the triad's competition.

To consolidate power
for one Mexican cartel,

allowing for the Silver Lotus to use

that cartel's infrastructure
for their own benefit.

So it's a power grab,
the merging of cartels?

- Obviously a problem, but...
- Well, actually, sir,

it may be worse than that.

Chavez's asset alluded to the fact

that his triad was using the cartel

for something far worse than dr*gs.

- So, what are we getting at?
- Convergence.

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

Unlimited resources
paired with undying hatred.

Wait, do we know if this triad
even has t*rror1st leanings?

This is not about them
having t*rror1st leanings

or even the country of Myanmar.

This is about them
creating an open market.

The Burmese triads
are some of the most elusive

criminal enterprises in the world,

with access far beyond
anything we've ever seen before.

If just one of them
were to provide those resources

to any group in the world...

That, combined with the cartel's
access to America,

they could move anything.

- Like what?
- Humans.

Weapons.

su1c1de bombers.

Jesus.

Sir, we know that the dr*gs
that are stopped

at the border every day

are a fraction of what
actually gets through.

Imagine applying that same ratio
to t*rror1st threats.

Where is Miller now?

We have our best man on him.

And this Chavez? Operation Pluto?

Unfortunately, sir,
I can't control Chavez.

But all that matters right now
is his mole Chao Fah Sein.

This man is the head of operations

for the entire
Silver Lotus organization.

If I can work Miller
to reestablish contact,

he will be an invaluable asset.

And if you can't reconnect with him?

If this mess in Mexico
gets traced back to you?

Well, sir, you just said it yourself.

My fingerprints are
all over Operation Pluto.

So, if they come
to blame Director Wright,

you pin it on me.

This is not how I wanted
things to start, Jack.

Nor did we.

[BACHLER] Director Wright
is about to walk

into the Senate
and promise a restored CIA.

And that's exactly what
we're gonna give them.

[EXHALES]

Thank you, Jack.

I'd like a moment with Director Wright.

Of course, sir.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

You need to manage this.

- Yes, sir.
- How are you going to do that?

Well, you and I both
learned the hard way that Jack

is a bit unorthodox.

But I think we can trust him
to handle this.

Good.

Because right now
you are all about image.

I understand.

Then there's something
I'd like you to consider.

President Okoli
reached out to me personally.

The situation in Lagos has gotten worse.

The w*rlord Ameh is now accusing him

of helping the CIA
carry out the assassination.

So I've heard.

Okoli would like
to get to the bottom of it.

How does he propose to do that?

He asked me if you might
consider visiting personally.

An unusual request, I know.

Especially during
the confirmation process.

But it sends the right message.

The director of the CIA no
longer sits in an ivory tower.

No, sir. I do not.

[PHONE CHIMES]

Yeah?

Meeting's tonight.

Eleven o'clock, Waterfront Park.

Please be seated.

Thank you, Chairman Henshaw,

I have spent my career

But my journey did not begin
in the far-flung outposts

It began on the streets of Queens.

In my neighborhood,
we had a microcosm of America.

of communicating.

Sometimes those differing
forms of communication

sparked conflicts,
often entirely unintended.

We were k*lling drug dealers.

Is that how they sold it to you?

Oh, f*ck you.

I was promised real results if
certain targets were eliminated.

Lower drug trade resulting
in less crime, and guess what.

- By who?

Private interests with more
power than the U.S. government.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

You do not work for the American

And they do the same. Over and over.

You know what you have
