According to U.S. officials,

the name of the servicemen are being withheld

You approved the plant yourself.

You cleared the footage of the FOB.

- I-I... - [Meade] You have an issue.

It's not her cover story. What is the issue?

[Mason] Outrage over the incident

isn't sustaining.

It's only polling at 38% awareness.

Okay, so push the press.

[Hollar] Press is resisting.

They're resisting.

They're resisting to cover the kidnapping

of a United States congresswoman

and the murder of her family on U.S. soil.

The rescue is polling as overreach.

Mexico is, understandably, outraged.

I'm a little outraged myself.

[Mason] Look, this thing is dividing on party lines.

This would be a lot simpler if she had been...

[Westfield] If she had what?

- Been a Democrat? - [Meade] We can arrange

the kidnapping of a Democrat

if, uh, that would be helpful.

You think that's funny?

[Meade] I think it's tragic.

I think it's a dereliction of duty

that borders on treason that...

that Congress refuses to act in the best interest of this nation

because... because they're more concerned

with the next election.

[Mason] That's easy for you to say.

You were appointed to your position.

[Westfield] And you were appointed to yours.

So was everyone in this fucking room.

Now, what you need to do is get out of this room,

go to the Capitol and start pulling heads out of asses.

President's polling right around 40%.

We are fucking paralyzed.

We need more support from our side of the aisle...

This is not a kidnapping.

I hope everyone here understands that.

[Mullins] Well, it sure looked

like a kidnapping to me.

It's a probe.

[Mason] A probe.

Explain what you mean by a probe.

Do you mean it's a false flag?

It is an act to study our reaction

and the public's sentiment toward whatever action we take.

She was held for almost 24 hours just south of the border.

That's enough time for us to formulate a plan

and move a QRF into place.

The victim wasn't stripped and searched

for electronics or tracking systems.

[Meade] A legitimate attempt to secure her

would've involved a thorough search

and immediate removal to the interior of Mexico

in a large urban area

where we would have no ability to provide

air or ground support to QRF, and we would have to

enter the nation through commercial means,

with a greatly compromised tactical capacity.

This was a test case

that they're gonna base their next operation around.

[Mason] Our intel sees this more as a psyop

meant to further divide the parties of Congress,

which is certainly the effect it is having.

You're wrong. Your intel's wrong.

You are wrong. Their mission is the next mission.

This was the USS Cole.

Our lack of response to that was the green light to 9/11.

That is what this is.

Even if you're right,

they're not gonna believe.

They will believe it from us, sir.

That's you.

I can't believe that actually worked.

Yeah, it's just, uh, physics.

How is she doing?

Well, she's a helicopter pilot, doesn't know shit.

But stays cool under pressure,

takes direction fast and executes what she's told

without many questions.

That's a good place to start.

We'll run her through the simulator.

Okay.

[Joe] You ready?

All right, what should I expect?

You don't expect anything. You just react.

[distant gunfire]

[gunfire continues]

I don't know my mission.

[man shouts in Spanish]

- Fuck! - [man yells]

- [gunshots] - [groans]

I don't know what I'm supposed to do!

Whatever you do, just don't do it

in the middle of the fucking street.

[men shouting in distance]

- [Josie gasps] - [man shouts in Spanish]

- [gunfire] - Fuck.

This is fucking insane!

[panting]

[girl screaming]

Hey!

Let her go.

Let her go!

Let her go!

[panting]

What the fuck was that?

What are you, a cop?

"Let her go"?

What's that girl to you?

He was holding her hostage.

What are we, a hostage rescue team?

- Evidently not. - No.

We're a kill team.

We have targets. Eliminating our target is our mission,

and it is our only mission.

Any obstacle must be circumvented or overcome.

And how do you overcome a 16-year-old girl

with a gun to her head?

You shoot her yourself.

Then you shoot the man behind her

and then you keep running.

That's murder.

[door closing]

It's survival.

[Joe sighs]

I need another month with her, at least.

If we don't get her embedded now,

they're gonna do what they always do, Joe.

Take the path of least resistance.

Walk with me, Captain.

Have a seat.

You got the whole thing planned out?

I do.

Everyone knows their role?

You care to clue me in on mine?

You're gonna go home.

To Hood?

To Dallas.

No.

No, that's not my home.

It's your parents' home.

[Josie] We don't...

we don't have that type of relationship.

Why is that?

Mexican families are supposed to be close.

Why isn't yours?

Because you know.

You've always known.

What else do you know

that you fucking forgot to tell me?

[sighs]

I stayed away

because that's not my path.

Mm.

She knows about her father.

I don't know.

She fucking knows about her father.

- I don't know. I suspect. - What about your uncle?

Do you know your uncle?

- Have you met him? - [Joe] The one you said

you'd never met, the one you said doesn't exist.

- Have you met him? - [Josie] You're the one

who shows up at the desert, firing off questions

- about my family. - Your drug-running,

murdering, monster of a family.

[speaks Spanish]

[responds in Spanish]

- Wow. - Fuck!

Doesn't speak fucking Spanish.

Congratulations, Joe.

You just recruited a mole.

[Joe sighs] I fucking knew it.

Bobby, Tucker?

Hold her here until MPC arrives.

Wait. What?

You fucking lied to me.

You fucking lied to me!

Your fucking father is a lawyer?

You don't speak Spanish?

You think we're fucking amateurs?

We do this for a living.

I stayed away because I don't want any part

of what they do. I don't... I don't want to see it.

- I don't want to know it. - And yet you do know it.

That's the fucking problem.

I agreed to join this program

because I believe in what I do.

- I-I believe in this c... - No. No.

You're here to protect them.

That's what you're here to do.

I joined this program because I love my country.

- Yeah? - Just like you asked. Yes!

Really, you love it enough

to put your father in prison?

'Cause that's the best of all possible outcomes for him.

What about your mother? What the fuck does she know?

Your sister? How about your cousins?

You expect me to believe that you love it enough

that you're willing to destroy

everyone and everything they ever built?

I fucking saved your life.

- All of you. - Yeah.

Now we get to return the favor.

You get one chance and one chance only.

I love my country.

Yeah, we're about to find out how much.

[sniffles]

[line ringing]

[man] Bueno.

Papá.

Josecita.

¿Cómo estás, papá?

Estoy bien.

¿Y contigo todo bien, chiquita?

[crying] No. No, papá.
