[Mullins] A congresswoman was kidnapped

on American soil.

[Hollar] No Mexican criminal organization

is gonna do something this reckless

without pressure from an outside force.

- It's China. - [Kyle] Congresswoman?

[Kyle] The Los Tigres cartel has

the closest ties to the Chinese.

[Meade] Leader of Los Tigres has a niece.

[Joe] Captain Carrillo.

How well do you know your uncle?

What do you know about the Lioness program?

What do you want me to do?

I'm supposed to look at people

I love in the eye,

blow their whole world apart.

- They know, Daddy. - Who's they?

Your brother is the leader of Los Tigres.

A foreign operative planned a kidnapping.

- We want him. - [Gutierrez] Whatever it is

you think you're doing, Beijing knows.

The cartel knows.

Bomber wasn't there for us.

He was there to keep us from an asset.

[Westfield] Suicide bomber along the border

was most likely Iranian.

A number of the individuals with him were Chinese.

We need to show Iran and China

that we aren't the only nation with an open border.

Great, have some food and coffee.

If we're sent on a hot exfil, what's our ride?

It depends on timeline and location.

We got Little Birds en route right now.

If they're ready, they'll provide air support

If not, you'll just take Humvees in.

Tex, you got overwatch.

- Who wants the 240? - I'll take it, Bobby.

All right. Two Cups?

- Yo! - Pack the 32.

Is there armor at this outpost?

If you're wondering where all the shit we left

in Kabul ended up, look no further.

[sighs] Great.

Who's got the AT4?

Anybody?

I can't carry everything. My back is fucked.

Fuck it, fuck it, I'll take it, I'll take it.

No. You're observe and advise, boss.

[helicopter blades whirring]

Someone's been flying my helicopter.

This is not your helicopter.

It's the United States Army's helicopter.

You need a copilot,

two crew chiefs and a gunner.

All I need is a gunner.

Army regulations exist for a reason, Cap.

And surely you have not forgotten that in a month.

Submit me your flight plan and your op plan,

and I'll pick a crew for you.

I don't have a flight plan, sir.

Well, if you don't have the flight plan, who the fuck does?

Do we have to do this again?

The mission's classified.

One pilot,

Do you have a rating as a door gunner?

Nothing to it. Point, put the target in the crosshairs

and pull the fucking trigger.

Right, 'cause that's all there is to it.

That's all there ever is to it.

- Any idea when? - Soon.

Sitrep in five.

You good?

Oh, yeah, this is my happy place.

Mm. That makes one of us. I hate the shit out of 'em.

When we get through this, you and I should have a talk.

Oh, there's nothing to talk about.

Talks are not one of my strengths.

Me, neither.

But after this, you know, we could just sit down

and not talk.

Okay. It's a date.

Okay, then.

Okay, then.

Uh, got to go load a bunch of rifle mags.

That's oddly arousing.

[chuckles softly]

This outpost is a half klick in country from the Turkish border.

This dirt road meets pavement about 20 klicks to the south.

And just north of that convergence is

the best place to intercept.

There is no high ground

for armor, so we fly

below radar if we can approach

from the west along that canyon.

Now if they do move the targets

by helo, most likely, they will skirt east of that road

in order to stay in contact with that radar.

We do believe it's highly likely, though,

that they do transport the targets by vehicle

up to Sahand missile base and

then helo them the rest of the way to Isfahan Nuclear facility.

You have a Republican Guard base 100 klicks to the south.

When you engage, you are two hours from the world showing up.

Dalampar outpost is roughly two companies.

You've got 100 combat troops.

The rest is command, communication and support.

They do have armor.

Satellite has picked up

three M1 Abrams tanks

that were left there at the airport in Kabul.

Whether they're operational or Iranian military

have crews capable of operating them is unclear.

They've got two T-72s.

We're gonna assume that they do have crews to run those.

Sayyad fast attack vehicle.

It's armed with 77-millimeter rockets,

guided missiles, various chain guns.

They've got BMP-2s, a Russian infantry attack vehicle.

All of these will require a LAW or a Stinger

to destroy, of course, except the M1,

which will require Javelin.

They've got typical truck-bed-mounted .50s,

which you are well-versed in defending against.

In short, this is a very well-armed, if not terribly

well-trained outpost.

If we hit here,

you are roughly two miles from Iraqi border.

Now, I'm not saying that that border is gonna

dissuade them if they are in pursuit.

We will send up F-22s upon mission launch.

Questions, Captain?

Will snipers mark target vehicles?

The entire convoy is your target.

Time to site for CAS if called upon?

[Amber] Unclear.

Thirty minutes is our goal,

but it's a stretch for them,

which is why we can't hold in place to engage.

We do not have a refueler in the region,

so they have to fly in,

drop their load and then go home.

We do have Delta snipers in place with eyes on Dalampar,

and they are prepared to fall back

for overwatch and assist if assistance is needed.

- Any questions? - [Joe] What happened

to the two Delta teams?

- En route. - ETA?

Unclear.

I would sure like to know.

By COB.

[Tucker] Enemy infantry capabilities.

What do they got, thermal, NV...?

[Amber] They've got a version of everything that we've got.

Op name is Sky Hawk.

Command is Night One. Attack helo is Thunder.

Snipers on-site, that's Sword three-one.

Your team is Sword three-two.

Delta team inbound, Sword three-three.

You look important.

I am.

We've frozen your bank accounts.

Not just the ones in Dallas. The ones in Nassau,

the ones in Zurich, the ones

under your 22 different LLCs and trusts

that you've established in the States,

the trusts you've established for your children.

All of it. All $372 million dollars of it.

And we've just started looking.

That's illegal. I'm not under indictment.

We don't need indictments. We don't need warrants.

We just need congressional approval

to act against known terrorist organizations.

And as of October 22nd,

your organization was listed as such.

You have no evidence tying me to...

[Westfield] We don't need that, either.

All we need is the belief.

Being placed on a terrorist watch list

suspends your protections under the Fourth Amendment,

your right to an attorney, any Miranda protections.

You see, we don't prosecute criminal cases.

We eliminate threats to the national security

of the United States of America.

And when your organization began working with enemies

of the United States

to transport their agents into our country

to attack that security,

threat is exactly what you became.

[chuckles]

So, you're here to eliminate me.

We're here to eliminate the threat.

[Pablo] You could've done that in Dallas.

You're not the threat. Your brother's the threat.

He's the one that's fostered these relationships

that threaten us.

[Westfield] Every problem has a solution,

and here's ours, Pablo.

We can't control the relationships

that an organization makes

unless we have a measure of trust

with the leader of that organization.

You want our trust?

We want your trust.

What else do you want?

[Westfield] If we have your trust, that's all we need.

Trust to do what?

Refrain from working with our enemies.

Inform us when they reach out.

Work to eliminate their influence

anywhere that you find it.

[Westfield] That trust would be very valuable to us.

Valuable enough that we would work tirelessly to protect it.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

♪ tense music ♪

I think I do.

So you can give us that trust?

I can give you that, but...

...what power do you have here? Hmm?

You can control men in Iraq, the Middle East,

because you have soldiers there.

Well...

[Pablo] You have no soldiers here.

We think it's best if your organization

is run from the States.

Is that possible?

Is that, uh, something that can be done?

In Mexico, we are free from prosecution.

[Westfield] That's not freedom, though.

You aren't free to travel. Your children aren't, either.

No school is safe, no restaurant, nothing.

[Meade] Here, you sacrifice freedom for security.

But it's a prison.

It's a prison of luxury.

It's a prison of your choosing, but it's...

it is a prison, nonetheless.

What if you could have the security you have in Mexico

with the freedom you have in the United States?

What would you say to that?

What about my family?

They get the same.

[Pablo] All of them?

All but one.

You have his phone?

We'd like to see him tomorrow, first thing.

My brother equates trust with money.

I'll give him his $300 million to start.

How's that?

He'll want more.

More can be arranged.
