01x02 - Tora Bora in the City

[bunniefuu]

Where's my hairbrush?

In the bathroom, princess, where else?

I looked, it's not there.

Why don't you check again?

What's up bug?

- Where's my hairbrush?

- I don't know.

- Do you want me to help you?

- I think the brush is hiding.

- Come, let's go.

- Where could it be?

- Listen, I need a favor.

- Yes?

Did you hear anything about the

American woman that went missing?

No. Here in Colombia?

I'll tell you, wait.

Come here love, let's go.

I already looked everywhere!

Everywhere?

Everywhere, Daddy.

How about here? You look

here, and I'll look there.

It's not there either.

I looked already.

Not there either?

If I were a brush, where would I hide?

Let's see.

How about here? Look in that box.

- The hairbrush.

- Aha!

- Come here.

- Okay, let's see!

You do it.

Come here.

My little queen.

What's that sound?

A little bird?

- The brush?

- There it is.

The water?

Oh.

- What are you doing?

- I'm putting it away.

Come here. I'll tell

you about the American.

Her name is Amber Chesborough.

She was near San José del

Guaviare when she disappeared.

- Was it the rebels?

- Yes.

What was she doing there?

Traditional medicine.

Researching.

Her father-in-law just called me.

He's a very big deal in the U.S.

Of course I told him

I was at his disposal.

So, what do you think?

Amber's brother and husband

are flying here right now.

Maybe through one of your sources

we'd be able to get inside information.

They're a good family.

Good people.

I'm calling to ask if

you have any information

regarding a kidnapped American?

Amber Chesborough.

- Mm-hmm.

- Señora.

Bueno.

Good morning.

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Honorable congressmen.

My party has considered it

pertinent to put at your disposal

for the consideration of this plenary

a 90% investment

for the good of the people.

- Excuse me, Senator.

- Yes?

- May I ask you something?

- Of course.

It's about the kidnapping

of the American woman.

I'd like to know if you think

it could be related to the FARC.

Of course not. Not at all.

Is this an official statement?

If there has been a crime, the

criminals will obviously have to pay.

But I know nothing about it.

Okay, then

Who do you think may be involved?

You said one question

and it's been three.

- Senator

- No, I can't talk about it.

Off the record, you know very well

this could be a tragedy

for the peace agreement.

You're not worried?

Off the record, they're

a g*ng of criminals

and pseudo-intellectuals.

I know people who have

been talking to them.

They're giving her back.

Are you sure about that?

Yes.

Now, if I may

- Ms. Matíz.

- Yes, of course.

Good luck in the polls.

Thank you.

Where are we?

Welcome lady.

- Go, up!

- Where are we?

Relax. You're home, don't worry.

Okay.

We have men on the street

watching you, stay here.

Excuse me, do you know

where I can find Enrique?

No, ask there.

Thank you.

Hi.

- Are you Enrique?

- No.

Do you know where he is?

Enrique?

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

- I'm a big fan.

- Thank you.

Have a seat.

So where do we begin?

Are you the spokesperson?

Yes.

Yes, you could call me that.

We usually don't speak to the press.

But, now's the time.

What group do you belong to?

- I mean, you're part of the ELN, right?

- No.

We're not part of any group.

We're something new.

We don't have a name.

We don't have a brand.

Perhaps you can be the one to name us.

- No, I don't think so.

- No?

No, I'm not here to

write a story about you.

But, it would be great.

You're the best

journalist in the country.

Yes, but I won't give you publicity.

I'm a bit confused.

I thought this was

supposed to be an interview?

No, this is not an interview.

I'm here to ask you to

free the American woman.

Once you do it, we can discuss

the possibility of an interview.

I don't understand.

You're telling me what to do?

No.

I'm here to give you some

advice, for your own safety.

What the f*ck? You're a journalist.

You can't come in here, thr*aten

me, tell me what to do and

Let's see

imagine that at this very moment

the m*llitary is deciding what

actions to take to solve this matter.

And I'm the person holding

her hands out like this

In search of peace.

But, what would happen

if I change my mind?

And simply suggest for

them to be tougher on you.

They could come here tonight.

While you're sleeping.

Why don't you go and f*ck yourself?

Hmm?

I'm very sorry.

Excuse me.

f*ck, f*ck.

I'm warm. I'm dry.

Nobody's sh**ting at me.

I'm warm. I'm dry.

Nobody's sh**ting at me.

Please, God. Dear

Heavenly Father, please

Okay.

Bambi. Where are you, Bambi?

f*cking listen to me.

Welcome to Bogotá.

Hi. US special operations.

Morning.

It might take two days.

It might take a week.

You get the f*ck outta here.

I'm gonna get the f*ck out of here.

Come on.

All right. f*ck this.

Scuse me.

Hey.

- Sorry for the wait, guys.

- Yeah.

Amick Dunn. Embassy security.

Hello.

- So, there is some positive news here.

- Okay.

Kidnappers have asked for $250,000.

So pay it.

It's not that simple.

We countered at 100.

Or I'll pay it. We'll

back-channel it later.

We'll meet in the middle.

And we'll wait a few days.

See, if you offer them

that amount, you

- You're gonna wait a few days?

- they'll move the goalposts.

I sort of studied the history

of kidnapping in Colombia.

Well, that's just great.

I get where you're coming from.

You don't, actually.

Why don't you just go get your

chief of station, all right?

Okay. Okay.

All right.

Hello. I'm Natalie Foster, COS.

Alex Chesborough.

Eric Haas.

- You want answers.

- Yes, ma'am. We just want to be read in.

Okay. Well, why don't you

grab your things and follow me?

- Thank you. Thanks.

- Great.

You've already been filled

in on the negotiations?

Yes, we have.

But, you know

he means "read in"

as if you trust us. Okay?

As if we're on the same team.

As if we have security clearance.

As if we do this for a living.

Are you really treating this

as a f*cking business deal?

You know she's linked

to the agency, right?

They're not aware of that.

In Colombia, kidnappings usually

are business transactions.

And I don't work for you,

so please watch your tone

- when you're in my embassy.

- Ma'am, uh

Honestly, we're, uh we're

desperate for something.

She's She's his wife.

She's my sister. Please.

You two look dehydrated from that

flight, and we're at 8,000 feet.

Come on. Let's go get you

some water. It's downstairs.

I'm going to trust you guys.

Help yourselves.

Thanks.

Are we still in the same house?

Yes, ma'am.

How about we go again with any

new specificity and context?

Sorry. So, according to

their cell phone data,

she is still in that red

house here. In Ciudad Bolívar.

I can hear two male adults inside,

uh, undetermined amount of kids

and just a lot of

people coming in and out.

So as you can see, we

have it all in hand.

Is that Colombian SF?

The colonel in charge, yes.

But we're not gonna need him.

Negotiations are gonna work. We'll

have her back in a couple of days.

Do you mind if I speak to him?

Sure, you can try.

Colonel Pereira.

These are the husband and the brother.

Good morning Colonel.

I'm part of a JSOC m*llitary unit.

- Delta?

- Delta.

If you have a moment

we'd like to have a quick talk with you.

Your perspective is

very important to me.

Permission to disclose?

Yes.

I have a call. I'm

gonna let you boys chat.

Thank you.

English or Spanish?

English please, for my friend.

- Sure.

- Thank you.

This neighborhood makes it very,

very hard to neutralize the tangos.

There are too many spotters.

Local kids, gangs,

sh**t on motorcycles.

If one policeman goes

in, all the alarms go off.

I have also established three OPs.

Here, here and here. Making

a triangle with the sn*pers.

It's hard for me to get the green flag.

Authorization must

come from the embassy.

I'm stuck under a lot of approvals.

And what about the exfil?

Well, I'm sure you know it's

always the most dangerous part.

The moment we grab that package

the neighborhood will start

yelping like a wounded animal.

We'll be using 9mm amm*nit*on

to minimize civilian casualties.

If we go, my commanders will get her.

They're very experienced.

And now, what you can tell me about her?

I don't know her training.

Can she handle a w*apon?

Uh

Will she be too scared

to move? Do we carry her?

She'll be the best fighter you ever had.

Oh.

How are you?

I'm great.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yes, I want a phone.

A cell phone.

No.

For my family.

I can't do that.

Please!

Money

for just a moment

to use your phone.

No.

Okay.

What is this?

It's, uh, my my avalanche beacon.

I don't know how

to say it in Spanish. Um.

How do you say it?

Snow? Uh. Uh

Snow!

Uh, for skiing.

Ski. I'm a skier. So

You're skiing Colombia?

No.

Not in Colombia.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I ski in Colorado!

Resistance!

Hey, I need to talk to Graciela.

Why?

I can't tell you.

Resistance!

Long live the national strike!

Long live the national strike!

All good?

It's the American woman.

She's fine.

The thing is, the guys in the jungle

found something in her backpack.

An electronic device.

sh*t.

It looks m*llitary.

That's what I thought.

Now what?

Will you talk to her?

It's risky for me to talk to her.

So I need to be in charge.

Give it here.

I asked my wife,

Violeta, to get involved.

She's a journalist and very influential.

I spoke with someone this morning.

He is a kind of s publicist

for this organization.

He seems very unexperienced.

I'm very scared about all

the situation that they make.

At the same time, I

met with the senator.

He was FARC, so he

knows a lot, of course.

And And he believes that

she will be returned safely.

What the CIA say?

Well, uh, it's a business transaction.

It seems everybody is in

the same reality, right?

Darling, you didn't mention

that this was a new group.

Yeah, that's true.

- It's a new version of M-19.

- Uh, M-19.

But it's all the same sh*t.

They all start political,

end up criminal.

But this moment where this group

is at is the most dangerous.

Really? Why?

Well, because they're young,

they can be unrealistic.

It's like playing poker with a rookie

that still doesn't understand

the rules of the game.

They make crazy bets.

Mmm.

Long time ago, Violeta and her

sister were kidnapped by guerrillas.

It was a lot more common back then.

They called it "pesca

milagrosa," "miracle fishing."

We had a lot of

conversation with the police

and there was a lot of planning.

Things kept changing, and,

eventually, we did it ourselves.

Yeah. She was k*lled

there in the cross fire.

Very sorry.

I have a meeting now, and

I know you have one too.

- But let's keep talking about this.

- Yeah.

How about you guys come for

dinner tonight, all right?

You should be with friends right now.

Here comes your new girl boss!

Oops.

Welcome to your ranch.

Hmm. Hmm.

Looks like the party was fun.

Hey, Chino.

Chino.

Go get the American.

Dude. A chair, please.

Gracias.

Hola.

You are so pretty.

Thank Thank you. Hi. Hi.

Um, we're taking over, okay?

Cool.

Who are you guys?

Um

2.0.

What's that?

Political stuff. Don't worry about it.

Okay. Cool. Yeah. No,

I totally get that.

Taking up arms against

an oppressive system.

I I would I would

totally do the same thing

if I was in your shoes.

Nah, I don't think so.

Yeah. Yeah, I I would, actually.

You'd go to a protest.

Right, that's what we do in America.

- This is also America, you know?

- South, but

No, I'm I'm just saying

that if my country

was in a civil w*r,

I-I think I would join too. That's all.

Um, so you're saying that you came

down here for the trees, right?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm a

I'm a research scientist.

I specialize in in bioactive plants.

And there are specific compounds

that are unique to this region

that I-I-I find promising

for my addiction research.

- Nice.

- Yeah.

Cool.

Yeah.

I know you probably need money, so

I could I could get you $2,000.

You know, that's a lot of money

for a poor Colombian, right?

It's what I have.

But wait, what will we

do with $2,000? Thank you.

What will we do with $2,000?

I don't know. What will we do?

I don't know. I don't know.

A lot of rice for your village.

Chinese rice.

This is really f*cked up, guys.

Just, if you give me a

cell, I'll get you money.

I'll get you a lot of money.

Okay, I'm gonna tell

you two things right now.

- Mm-hmm.

- And I want you to remember, okay?

Okay.

This is not a village.

This is a f*cking country

and a beautiful one.

And I don't want your money. And

we don't need your money, right?

- Got it?

- Got it.

We know who your husband is.

We are negotiating for your release.

- Okay.

- But it's kind of a problem.

- Why?

- 'Cause we have doubts about you.

Maybe you're DEA or CIA?

Why would I be DEA or CIA?

This isn't Jason Bourne.

Such a great film, you know?

But no, isn't, actually.

The technology in your bag. Tell us.

Yeah, okay.

My husband put it in

there for when I go skiing,

in case there's an avalanche.

It was hiding in there.

Got it. Okay, now I understand you.

So my my husband

can be a bit of a d*ck,

and he put it in there.

I research it online, mi amor.

It's m*llitary.

Yes. Good. Yes.

His father sells m*llitary

weapons to our government.

- Okay?

- Yeah.

And honestly, I didn't

know it was in there.

He put it in my bag.

I didn't even want it.

- Why?

- Because I don't like to be followed.

So I said, "No, no. I

don't wanna take that."

- You did, though.

- No. g*dd*mn it! No!

I'm telling you that he put it

in my bag. Do you understand that?

He put it in my bag.

Who the f*ck are you really?

Are you CIA targeter?

Are you building a deck?

- Are we your target?

- Am I?

I just met you guys. I don't

know who the f*ck you are.

- Am And I'm a what? What did you say?

- Targeter.

Oh, you don't know that word. Really?

Come on.

Hello.

So we're being overtaken by events.

- I need you to brace yourself.

- Okay.

These are bad people, okay,

but they're not totally stupid.

They found Amber's m*llitary beacon,

and they've changed their

assessment of who she is.

Now that she's valuable,

negotiations are off.

They could hold her for 20 years

or they could k*ll her tomorrow.

We're spinning up the rescue

mission. It's on the director's desk.

Understood. Thank you.

That was Foster.

Everything's changed in

the kidnappers' mindset.

That beacon you put in her bag,

they found it, and they've

determined that it's m*llitary.

And now they assume

that she's high value.

Negotiations are off.

f*ck.

Direct actions, two

weeks of planning minimum.

Especially in that neighborhood.

I f*cked her.

Pretty much.

I'm so sorry, man. I

I feel like a monster.

Yeah, I don't give a

sh*t how you feel, man.

I was so f*cking arrogant.

I thought that beacon

would keep her safe.

I can't let her die.

I'm not gonna let her die.

I can't let her die.

Let's talk about strategy, okay?

Roger.

They're not gonna let her

go. The agency will cut ties.

- I don't know.

- Well

Foster seems sincere

about the strike plan.

You want me to red-team that?

Yeah, be my guest.

Hey, truly no offense, but you

Part of you is still

a kid from the sticks

happy to be in the

room with a three-star.

When I was a kid, we had CIA directors

at our dinner table

begging us for crumbs.

And?

I know how these decisions are made.

They're not gonna say, but

they won't approve a raid.

We need to get in there,

hit that house now.

I guess we should cancel dinner.

Here we go.

That's it.

That's it. She could

be just down there, man.

- Right under that f*cking cover.

- Uh-huh.

I'll take that.

Right. Here you go.

Wolf 6, this is Ray 2.

I have the target on sight.

They're the gringos

who were at the office.

They're tall, wearing reflective

jackets and baseball caps.

Nobody sh**t.

Understood? Freeze.

They're Purples, not Tangos.

Nobody sh**t, I repeat.

Anybody got eyes on the package?

That's a negative, sir.

I gotta show you something.

There's a tunnel on the first floor.

It goes to the next house.

Dude, she's been sleeping up here.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No.

Go back down the stairs.

Out, out!

They got in!

Two Purples are trapped on the roof.

Get the drone in the air.

Drone image on this screen, sir.

Which direction are the Purples moving?

Sierra Whiskey sir, Sierra Whiskey.

Hot terrace. They're

making contact, sir.

You're cleared to fire

against all threats!

Protect the Purples!

I'm losing sight of them, sir.

Wolf 6 to sn*pers.

Does anyone see them?

That's a negative, sir.

Does anyone have eyes on them?

Negative.

Buenas noches.

Wolf 6.

I have them on sight.

All units from Sierra Whiskey,

moving towards Sierra

Whiskey on a chase.

Sir, we have a motorcycle approaching.

Authorized to fire on Tangos.

Fire at will, sir.

Wait, wait, wait.

Come on.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Just go, man.

High value target has

been sh*t by the Purples.

Repeat, high value target.

Tango 2 has been sh*t by the Purples.

They're running away through

the streets and terraces, sir.

We got our next move.
