I wanna talk to you about
a fundamental threat
to American democracy.

For the first time
in the history of our country,

a majority of
our people believe

that the next five years

will be worse
than the past five years.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER ON RADIO)

Shit.

(PA SYSTEM BEEPS)

Cuban exiles.

They pay

homegrown contraband

through Canadian hubs.

Central America, right now.

We're building nations

Holy shit.

BARRY: Hot damn!
Look at her.

MONTY: Well, they,

she's pretty fast.

Yeah. Yeah.

It's the fastest
twin-engine on the planet.
Mmm.

I mean, shit!

She looks like she's going
300 miles an hour
just sitting there.

(LAUGHS)

CIA owns this?

No. No.

Uh, Independent
Aviation Consultants.

IAC.

Yeah.

Well, what is that?
What do they call them?

One of them front groups?
Is that...

No, no, no.
It's as real as IBM.
Uh-huh.

You‘d run the company,
but after hours,
you work for us.

Yeah.

Takes pictures?
Mmm.

We say it
"collects intelligence."

Uh-huh.
(LAUGHING)

Where? Russia?

Uh...

South of the border,
north of the equator.

Let's just say, uh,
"enemies of democracy."

Look, the real work is covert.
You understand? So...

(LAUGHS) "Covert."

So, uh, anyone
finds out about it,

uh, family, friends,
even Lucy.
It's Lucy, right?

Yeah, that's right.

That'd be a problem.

What?

All this is legal?

If you're doing it
for the good guys, yeah.

(LAUGHS)

Just don't get caught.

(CHUCKLES)

You wanna take
her for a spin?

Fuck it! Take her
for a fucking spin!
(LAUGHS)

I want you to
take her for a spin.

(LAUGHING)

It's all for me.
Mmm-hmm.

It's new business.
It's gonna be my business.

Okay.

Logistical support
for airports.
That's right.

Okay. And you're
calling it IAC?

What do you know
about business?

You are
a TWA airline pilot.

That's how you
support this family.

This is gonna be
good for us, all right?

What about benefits?

Our healthcare?

We have great
healthcare with TWA.

(STAMM ERS) That's...

You know, I'm sure
that's not gonna
be a problem.

And what the hell
does IAC mean, anyway?

Independent
Aviation Consultants.

BARRY: (CHUCKLES)
Shit! I know, I know.

That was bold.

That was bold.

I do tend to leap
before I look.

Maybe, uh...
(CLICKS TONGUE)

Maybe I should have asked
a few more questions.

Anyway, it was back
in '78 and, uh...

It was September? October.

Anyway, it, uh...

That was the day
I joined the CIA.

Now, in those days,
the Cold War
was in full swing.

The Soviets were
backing communist
insurgents

all over Central America.

(SCREECHING)

of them insurgents.

(LAUGHING)

I mean, they say
they're the best

reconnaissance photos
they have ever seen.

Does this mean
I get a raise?

You‘re doing great.

Hey, you got

DOCTOR: Big push!
(SCREAMS)

Motherfucker!
(BABY CRIES)

Wife? Kids?

See, I, Uh...

I didn't tell Lucy
I ain't working

You‘re serving
your country.

I am gonna need
some more money
at some point.

You'll figure it out.

Oh. Uh...
(CLEARS THROAT)

We, uh...

We're sending you
to Panama tomorrow.

BARRY: The CIA was so
happy with my work,

they gave me another job.

Bagman.

See, there was this colonel
down in Panama

named Noriega.

And he was selling
the agency's intel
on all the commies down there.

For your friends.

BARRY: Myjob wasjust
to drop off and pick up.

Just drop off

Thank you for

Sir, I... Ithink

of mistake here, because I...

These fellas just
picked me up
at the airport, and...

No, no. No mistake.
Just, please, have a seat.

Coffee, Mr. Seal?

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

You know my name?

You're the gringo

with your fancy plane.

(CHUCKLES)
Oh, yeah,

See, l have a, uh...

Aviation company here
in South America that l...

Yes. Yes, the AIC.

IAC. Yes, sir.

Or is it CIA?

(CHUCKLING) What?

No...

No, no, no.
I'm just
a businessman here.

I'm a businessman.

Imports, exports,
cattle, horses.

But now...

Now, God above has blessed
this great country
with new riches, Mr. Seal.

And you could help us.

How's that?

You know the routes,

you can get in and
out of Estados Unidos
with your fancy plane.

What... What kind of riches
are we talking about here?

OCHOA: Cocaine, Mr. Seal!

We had a few
difficulties

getting our exports to
your country, Mr. Seal.

WOMAN: (ON RADIO)
Nine-nine-nine-six.

Ma'am, what's in the bag?

(BARKING)

We decided
to try new ideas.

We want you to
take off from here,
fly directly to Miami.

We'll pay you
$2,000 per kilo.

How much is a kilo?

2.2 pounds,
Mr. Seal.

BARRY: $2,000

every 2.2 pounds.

I... I'm sorry, fellas.

I didn't catch
y'all's names.

Jorge Ochoa.

Carlos Lehder.

Pablo Escobar.

A couple of billion dollars
from now,

they'd be known as
the Medellin Cartel.

Back then, they were
just three businessmen

trying to figure out
how to get

their merchandise
to the United States.

There was just
one small problem.

See, pilots,
they were killing themselves
trying to get off that runway.

| see you had a few other boys
try to make it outta here.

(CHUCKLES) SI, sI'.

Terrible pilots.

Yeah, well,

I'm sure they
were heavy, you know,

carrying a lot
of fuel to make it
to the States,

and merchandise, and...

Yeah, you know,
this airport, I mean,

it's high altitude
and a short runway.

And, I mean, shit, you got
trees and mountains
on both sides.

Is there, uh...

Is there somewhere else
I could take off from?

OCHOA: Nowhere the Army
wouldn't notice.

Well, uh...

Can you make
the runway longer?

(LAUGHS)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)
(LAUGHING)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

OCHOA: (IN ENGLISH) They say
I should get rid of you.

That you can't do it.

OCHOA: We have
our people in Miami.
BARRY: Yeah.

You‘re gonna land at
the Okeechobee airport
between 2:00 and 6:00 am.

BARRY: Look, there's, uh...

There's been
a change of plans,

'cause I ain't
landing in Miami in...

(ESCOBAR SPEAKS SPANISH)
Thank you. Gracias.

See, I ain't landing
anywhere with this stuff.

That's... That's how
y'all got in trouble.

Now, look,
just hear me out.

I know Louisiana.
Now, here's a map.

Now, I'm gonna drop
this stuff right where
"X" marks the spot.

All right?
Just... (GRUNTS)

What do you mean,
you're not gonna
land, huevon?

BARRY: Okay. Now, just...

Hey. Come here.

Look... Just look at this.

Look.

See that there?

Hmm.

Right there is your
million-dollar door.

All right. You just
go around. Each side.

But tight.

No, no, no.
No more.

I said no more.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

But there's
plenty of room, gringo.

No, no, no.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Guys, guys, it ain't
about room, all right?
It's about weight.

Now, we agreed on 200,
I even put on 300.

No, no, no.

This guy's fatter than fuck.

I'm already 1,500
pounds overweight.

or I fly your product.

(MEN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY

Oh, my God!

You look terrible.

It is so good to see you.

You missing a tooth?
Yeah.

What the fuck?

See these fellas
right here?

Yeah.

I think they
know that I am CIA.

You're not CIA.

You're a drug
smuggler, Barry.

Listen.

Louisiana PD was notified
of your arrest here.

They're gonna raid
your house at 6:00 am.

They're gonna pick up Lucy,
bring her in for questioning.

Maybe even keep
her overnight.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.
You gotta get
me out of here.

Well, maybe...

Maybe we could
figure something out.

BARRY: Okay, you can...
You can stop now ifyou want.

'Cause, believe me,

Shit gets crazy from here.

Do you remember
them fellas that

I told you I was
taking snaps of?

Turns out they was
a bunch of commies.

Called themselves Sandinistas.

These fellas managed
to get their shit together

and take control right here
in this little country
called Nicaragua.

Oh, no, that’s El Salvador.

Here you go. Nicaragua.

AN NOU NCER: Theirs is the
first successful revolution
in Central America.

BARRY: Now, that may have been
bad news for some people,

but not for me.

See, there was
a new sheriff in town.

My fellow Americans,
I must speak to you tonight

about a mounting danger
in CentralAmerica.

BARRY: Even after
everything that happened, I...

I still love Ronnie Reagan.

I mean,
any man that can make it

from that monkey movie

all the way to
the White House...

(BANGING)
What's the
matter with him?

BARRY: ...he's gotta know
What the hell he's doing.

And what he wanted was to kick
them commie Sandinistas
out of Nicaragua.

And he wanted the Nicaraguan
freedom fighters,
called Contras, to do it.

They need to know
that the U. S. supports them

with more than
just pretty words
and good wishes.

BARRY: But Congress,
well, they smelled

the makings of
another Vietnam,

and they outright refused
to let Ronnie have his war.

But do you think
them politicians

could tell
the Gipper what to do?

Hell no. He turned to the CIA,

and the CIA turned to me.

Schafer? Schafer,
that morning raid

on my family,
that's off now, right?

No, no. That's, uh...
That‘s still happening.

What?
6:00 am.

This fucking country!

Well, hold on, now.
Stop!

Now, we have a deal!

I'm not a cop, Barry.

I can't make
a search warrant
go away, you know?

Things are in motion here.

Come on, man.
What the hell
am I gonna do?

| suggest you get your
family outta Louisiana.

Well, where am I
supposed to take them?

We got a place for ya.

Mena.

Arkansas.

Arkansas?

BARRY: Hey.

Hey, Luce.

Mmm. Hey, baby.

Hey, hey, hey.

My God, baby,
what happened to you?

I'm okay.

Barry, you're

Hey, uh...
(CLOCK TICKING)

We‘re moving.

We gotta pack
everything up.

We gotta be outta here

We, uh...

So, we'll get
these dresses and...

Do you, uh...

You need all them shoes?

Well, hey there, sunshine.

How you doing?

Now, look. I'm gonna
give you a plastic bag.

What I want you to do
is you go upstairs

and you put your
favorite toys...

Go on back to bed, honey.
Daddy done lost his mind.

No. Darlin',
you listen to Daddy.

You go do that
'cause we're
going on an adventure.

LUCY: No, we're not
going on an adventure.

Like the time we went
camping in the parish?

Not actually, but...

'Cause every adventure
is different.

Oh, my God.
You're actually
serious right now.

Barry, it's 4:00 am,
I'm not moving.

Christina's school
play is tomorrow.

Hey, do you trust me?

No!

But you love me.
You do love me.

Yeah, of course,
I fucking love you.

Then, listen,

It's got a lot of charm.

This place has got

SHERIFF DOWNING:
Plenty. But all we got's
a porta-potty out back.

And I think that'd be cruel
and unusual punishment. Right?

(CHUCKLES)

Well, I'll be sure
to give 'em a good
what for on Monday, though.

All right?

CHRISTINA: Thank you.

BARRY: Front door's open.

(BABY CRYING)

(SHUSHING) It's okay.

That‘s... That's
an easy fix.

(HORN HONKING)

I gotta...

Get in. Come on.

Oh, shit.

We gotta make this quick.

She might leave me
before I get back.

So, this is all yours.

Including everything
between here
and your house.

Almost 2,000 acres.

What do you think?

I own all this?

Oh, yeah.

This whole airport?

Yeah. Congratulations.

MONTY: AK-47s.

Soviet-made for the PLO.

The Israelis captured these
and then secretly
traded them to us.

And you're gonna
fly 'em to Nicaragua.

You didn't say
nothing about guns.

It's a war, Barry.

Freedom fighters can't
put up much ofa fight
if they aren't armed.

This was the deal.

Or would you rather be
in a Colombian prison?

This is every current
law enforcement
invesfigauon

on the Gulf Coast.

FBI, ATF, DEA, Customs.

These maps will help
you avoid all of 'em.

Holy Shit.

You'd just fly
where they ain't.

Everything in
this hangar's mine?

Oh, yeah.

That truck's mine?
Mmm-hmm.

Tools are mine?

Yes, sir.

This airplane's mine.

Bag is mine.

What bag?

LUCY: lfed the kids.

They're Sleeping.

Unpacked the car.

That‘s good.

Fixed the sink.
Just a valve.

See? I told you
that was gonna be easy.

(GRUNTS)

Fuck, Barry!

Okay. All right.
All right. Okay.

I'm gonna come clean.

I don't work
for TWA no more.

No shit, Barry.

Are you going to prison?

No, ma'am. (CHUCKLES)

You've gotta take
care of this family.

'Cause I will take the kids.

I will go right
back to working
for Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Luce, what I'm
working on, it's...

Barry, I am six
months pregnant.

It's top secret.

I need a fridge.

I need beds
for our children.

I need a stove,
a fucking
washing machine...

Washing machine
over there, all right?

Now, let me just...

Is this all legal?

All right.
What I'm about to
tell you, you... You...

You gotta swear you
can't ever tell
anybody this, Lucy.

Howdy, amigos.

I am here on
behalf of Uncle Sam.

(MEN SHOUTING IN SPANISH)

BARRY: Look, Schafer,
I ain't no military expert,

but are you sure
these are the right guys?

'Cause they seemed
a damn sight more

interested in my boots
than in your guns.

MONTY: (OVER PHONE) Now, look.
This is getting big time.

Schafer, I just don't
think I'm the guy for this.

You just keep delivering
that pizza, hear me?

You just keep delivering.

(MEN SPEAKING SPANISH)

These are gifts.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(ALL SPEAKING SPANISH)

I'm not fucking around.

(HORN BLARES)

Barry! Put the
bat down, huevdn.

We‘re all friends here.

Jorge.

What the hell
are you doing here?

OCHOA: This is
Don Adolfo Calero.

He works for your government
on the revolution

to bring down the Sandinistas.

Jorge tells me you
are the crazy gringo
who always delivers.

OCHOA: We have a new
business proposition
to you, Barry.

You bring your
American guns
to Colombia,

deliver our cocaine here,
to the Contras,

the Contras take it by
fishing boats to Miami,

and everybody's happy.

It's for the war effort,
Mr. Seal.

BARRY: Turns out,
the Contras didn't really
want to fight a war.

They just wanted
to make money.

Like the rest of us.

Meanwhile, the Medellin
Cartel wanted guns.

So they worked
out a little trade.
What was I gonna tell ’em?

I’m just a gringo
who always delivers.

Here '3 how
the operation worked.

I’d load up with guns in Mena,

then, using Schafer's intel,
I’d bypass any law enforcement

and fly straight to
the cartel's airstrip
in Medellin.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

BARRY: The Colombians,
well, they loved them guns.

(CHUCKLES)

And I'd load up
with fresh powder

and fly on to
the Contra training camp.

The Contras hid
the coke in fishing boats
and sailed it up to Miami.

Meanwhile, I'd get
another load of powder,

take it back to the States
with a quick stop
to refuel in Panama

under the protection
of my old friend,
Colonel Noriega.

Congratulations on
your promotion, General.

'Course,
he'd get his cut, too.

On the way back,
I'd keep an eye
out for the DEA

and then I’d dump it all
in the swamps of Louisiana.

The operation got so big

I had to get some help.

Pete Dubois manufactured guns
until he discovered

he had a knack
for selling pot.

Stan Mason flew dope
from Mexico to Arizona.

Bill Cooper.
He flew opium all around
Southeast Asia during Vietnam.

Then there’s Bob. Uh...

I don't know much about Bob.
Hell of a pilot, though.

I called these boys
my Snowbirds,

and we could fly
through anything.

Schafer!

Barry.

How's it going?

BILL: Hey, boss!

That was fucking crazy,
man! Whoo! (LAUGHS)

How's it, uh...
How's it going
down there?

Oh, you know...

Busy.

You?

Oh, yeah.

Busy.

Where are
they going?

We need to borrow
some of your land.

They want you to

unless we get Medellin.

BARRY: Now, you may be
wondering why my ass wasn't
in jail at this point.

This is disgusting!

BARRY: But I gotta be honest.
Frankly, so was I.

RANGEL: Ollie...
COLONEL NORTH: Oh, please!

BARRY: This fella here
is with the DEA.

And this fella here
is a colonel
named Ollie North.

Reagan's go-to guy.

The DEA just wants to nail
the Medellin Cartel
once and for all.

Now, at the same time,
Colonel North wants to prove

the commies in Central America
are involved in
the drug trade.

Let me say that again.

This is disgusting!

BARRY: Colonel North
wants to prove the commies
are dealing drugs.

And why am I in the room?

'Cause I'm the gringo
who always delivers.

So, you want me
to keep going?

For your country.

We‘re gonna bring
these guys down.

And you're
gonna be a hero.

All right, then.

They put me right
back in business.

Now, I’m working
for the White House.

Fifty picture loads each.

You have one here in a bag.

The Sightline goes
straight down the back

to where those
gentlemen are now.

You have two more cameras
above each door.

Sightlines directly
in front of the door.

Each camera has a cord.

You just press this
button to take a picture.

(CAMERA CLICKING)

That's it.

Let's go.

I can see
the cords, Barry.

Yeah.

I can see this damn cord,
which means they
gonna be able to see it.

We'll hide it.

I'm not a photographer.

Your thumb work?
Yeah.

Well, you just
push the button.

When am I supposed
to push the button?

When the guys
are standing here
holding the powder.

You know what?
Fuck it, Pete.

I'll take the pictures.

Fuck!

BARRY: Listen.
What's gonna happen
with these photos?

Who exactly is going
to be looking at 'em?

These photos are gonna be
on a need-to-know basis.

Need-to-know.

They're gonna be
classified at the highest
levels, Barry.

BOY: Daddy! Daddy!

BARRY: Classified.
Daddy!

We do recognize
the dangers involved here.

No, you don't.

Well, you could
always tell us
to fuck off

and spend the next
30 years in Leavenworth.

PETE: Come on, boss!

Let‘s get this over with!

We‘ll see ya, Rangel.

LUCY: Smile, Barry!

Shit! There's

They're gonna
torture us.

Pull ourtongues
out through our necks.

That ain't
helping, Pete.

They're gonna cut us up
in little pieces and
feed us to the pigs.

I don't wanna be
fed to no pigs, Barry.

Gotta keep our shit
together. Hola!

(DOOR WHIRRING)

We're gonna get the yayo,

then get the hell out of here.

Let‘s keep our shit together.

BARRY: Hey, Jorge.

Now, let's go

RANGEL: Barry Seal!
MAN: Yeah!

Barry Seal!
He's a goddamn genius.

(ALL CHEERING)

There seems to be no crime
to which the Sandinistas
will not stoop.

(ON TV) This is
an outlaw regime.

The Sandinistas have even
involved themselves

in the international
drug trade.

I know every
American parent concerned

about the drug problem
will be outraged

to learn
that top Nicaraguan
government officials

are deeply involved
in drug trafficking.

This picture,
secretly taken at a military
airfield outside Managua

Shows Federico Vaughan,

a top aide to one of
the nine comandantes
who rule Nicaragua...

Fuck!

...loading an aircraft
with illegal narcotics
bound for the United States.

Those motherfuckers!

That's your
fucking face, Barry!

This is an outlaw regime.

Oh, my God!

(OCHOA SPEAKING SPANISH)

He betrayed us!

Pablo, we have to take
care of this immediately.

That son of a bitch.
I'm going to rip his head off!

RANGEL: (ON PHONE)
I am truly sorry, Barry.

North jumped the gun.

Yeah, well,
you boys fucked me good.

We all got fucked.

Those photos
weren't supposed
to be released,

and certainly not
until we had
the Colombians in custody.

Yeah, well, they ain't gonna
be coming for you.

Barry, you knew the risks
when you took those pictures.

You knew what
you were doing.

Barry?

Barry, you there?

Let‘s go get
some ice cream.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

BARRY: The feds,
they're gonna try
to take everything.

When they come,

you gotta put on
all yourjewelry.

All right? All your rings,
you know, your bracelets.

Necklace.

'Cause if you're wearing it,
they can't take it
away from you.

You understand?

All right, that's insurance
for you and the kids.

All right?

I understand.

All right. And don't
forget that it's
gonna be all right.

It's gonna be all right.

BARRY: Luce and the kids

DANA: How can we
have a war on drugs

when the biggest
enemy of the state

is being protected
by our side?

BARRY: And that

DANA: Why, he never
informed the FBI...

BARRY: ...she never,

I helped build an army,

defend a country,

and create
the biggest drug cartel
this world's ever seen.

DEA, CIA, White House.

Imean, it's been
a hell of an adventure.

Yeah. Sometimes a little
