[breathes deeply]

[Amber] Oh! [screams] H-Help. [yells]

Oh, my God. [breathes heavily]

[screams] Oh, fuck!

Oh, fuck! [pants, yells]

[guerrilla 1 speaking Spanish]

[in English] Oh, my God.

[in Spanish]

[in English] Hey, hey, hey, hey. Chill.

Pack your shit. We have to go now.

What?

-We're leaving now. Come on. -[panting]

- Hey. Now! [speaks Spanish] - [guerrillas chattering]

[pants] Okay.

[Luis] Eric, it's good to meet you.

Thanks so much for doing this on such short notice.

My pleasure.

Anything I can do to help. Please, let's sit down.

[speaks Spanish]

Tonight, the husband of an American scientist

taken hostage in Colombia opens up about the terrifying abduction.

Sergeant, thank you very much

for having the time to talk to us.

Thank you.

Sergeant, what was the first thought you had when you knew

that your wife had been kidnapped?

I'm going to get her back safe in my arms if I have to die trying.

Our sources say that last night a boy was shot and killed

in a rescue operation.

Is that something you'll confirm to us?

I have no idea. I wasn't there.

But I have it on good authority

that the Colombian military is all over this.

They may have shot a kidnapper. I don't know.

Delta security operations are highly classified,

- and it may never be known to the public. - [clears throat]

Is it safe to say that you would never confirm an operation,

something like this?

Well, I can confirm this. I want a mission.

I want the Colombian military to step up.

Are you suggesting that the Colombian government isn't...

Isn't even trying?

I'm suggesting there's always more that can be done

for an innocent woman.

Sounds like you're calling out the president of Colombia

and perhaps the president of the United States. Is... Is that so?

- I do hope they're listening. - [phone ringing]

- [Prince] The buck stops at the top. - [line connects]

- [Bambi] Hey, man. - You fucked me.

You fucking fucked me. But I don't even care about that.

You fucked yourself by going on CNN.

What part of "keep a low profile" don't you understand?

Yeah, well, isn't public pressure good for us?

You're on speaker with Prince.

- [Mitch] Hey, Prince. - Hey, Mitch.

Pressure's only good when I generate it.

You do realize now that the comms guys at the White House

and the political shop are gonna take this over and focus-group it

every fucking step of the way.

Now, why would you want that in an election year?

We had no choice. Everything's moving too slow.

So you go shoot up an entire neighborhood

and call out the Colombian president on national television?

Super fucking dumb.

Do you really want the Colombian military on this,

with their record of hostage rescue and cross fire?

They shoot both the rebels and the hostages.

We're gonna be on their op. Make sure she's safe.

[line disconnects]

[breathes heavily]

- [Amber yelps, groans] - [kidnapper 1] Be more careful.

Nobody's fucking carrying you if you twist an ankle.

We're going in a circle.

[shushes]

[kidnapper 1] Hey.

[sighs]

[flies buzzing]

Set up your hammock and get some sleep while you can.

[breathes heavily]

You bring us back fucking here!

[choking]

- [Amber yells, coughs] - [yells in Spanish]

[Amber] You're... [yells, grunts]

[sighs]

[guerrilla 2 speaks Spanish]

[sighs]

[helicopter whirring]

[soldiers chattering]

- [lead soldier speaking Spanish] - [soldiers grunting]

[general] If everything was kept on my side, in my house,

maybe I could have worked it out.

But now this operation is no longer a secret.

You see, we have a new spokesperson,

and he got us a new mission.

We're going to engage.

[speaks Spanish]

That's good news.

So, when you're ready to launch,

attach us as advisers so we can help.

[speaks Spanish]

Thanks for the offer, but no.

Anything else?

Yes, sir. We need to go there.

No, you don't.

We're requesting to be there. Professional courtesy.

[laughs] Courtesy? You called us out on TV.

Well, maybe your friends in the CIA are gonna force us to take you,

but I don't think so.

- Sir, we... - Thank you, sir. We understand.

We need to talk to him outside of his office.

What are you thinking?

I'm gonna bribe his ass.

[pop music playing]

- [shutter clicking] - [glasses clinking]

[Bambi] Didn't Ernesto say the general was coming alone?

He did.

[in Spanish]

[applause]

[Violeta]

[both laugh]

[Bolero]

[speaks Spanish]

Gracias.

[speaks Spanish]

[speaks Spanish]

Gracias.

General... [sighs]

[in English] I know you're aware of...

the terrible situation that my wife is in.

[in Spanish] Si.

And, um... Well, I know we're asking for a favor.

But if you can see your way fit to bending the rules for us,

just this once,

I hope you'll also see your way to letting us return the favor.

Do you understand in which position you put me in?

You took advantage of my trust.

You know, my family owns a company

with a lot of interests in the region.

I could have had my snipers to shoot you. You know that?

But you didn't.

Want to offer you a seat on the board of Haas Industries.

We meet three times a year. It's a paid position.

[Violeta, in Spanish]

[instrumental music playing]

[through computer]

[in English] Amber, um... [breathes deeply]

if you're out there and you're listening, it's me, and I'm on it.

[inhales deeply] We're all so worried about you, and, uh...

[breathes deeply]

well, everyone's just waiting patiently for the process to play out.

[swallows] But you did nothing wrong, baby. Nothing.

[sniffles]

[cries]

[Bambi] We love you, baby.

We're gonna find a peaceful way out of this.

He's good.

[in Spanish]

[kidnapper 2]

[Bambi, in English] I need you to stay warm

and stay dry, and be patient, okay?

[Violeta, in Spanish]

[Violeta speaks Spanish]

[guerrilla 3 speaks Spanish]

[speaks Spanish]

[in English] Hello, Amber.

I'm a journalist. I want to talk to you.

I... I... I recognize your voice.

From the radio. [Violeta] Yeah.

Your brother is a friend.

And your father-in-law is my husband's friend.

I wanna help you.

Thank you.

Do you know why you were taken in this way?

Wrong place, wrong time.

They think I'm CIA. It's fucking ridiculous.

I know how you feel.

I was kidnapped.

I was in a very small room during two months.

I hope you don't go through that.

But if you do, you have to know you will survive.

They want to know if you're an American agent.

I don't care if you are or not.

I'm going to talk with the commander right now

and tell him you're innocent.

[whispering] You should stay with me. It's much safer.

They're all gonna get killed in this camp. Everyone.

Don't fantasize of a rescue.

They can't find this place

in the middle of the jungle.

You don't know my family.

[Amber] I guarantee you they tracked you here.

Why do you think my brother did your show?

You're a bird dog.

You flush out the prey.

[guerrilla 4, in Spanish]

[speaks Spanish]

[Violeta] Everything will be okay. [Amber] Right.

[guerrilla 4 speaks Spanish]

[Prince grunts]

[chattering]

[Bambi, in English] I have eyes on Violeta.

Negative on Amber.
