[BOBBY] You run this up the flagpole?
[JOE SIGHS]
I'm about to.
CBP arrived. They want a statement.
I'm sure.
What is our position on this?
Everyone uses their FBI credentials.
We had intel on a smuggling ring
that overlapped
with a DEA investigation,
and we're unable to speak on that
for risk of jeopardizing
undercover agents
still in the field. Just get
get Gutierrez on the same page.
So, no statement.
No statement.

Boss, it ain't your fault.
Question to ask is
would she still be alive
if we hadn't tried to save her?
[JOSIE] There was a time
I thought of my father as this
immovable force.
I would see other kids' fathers
and think they were
so much less than mine.
Even the bigger men seemed smaller.
What do you see now?
I don't know what I see anymore.
What do you see when you look at yours?
Um
I never knew mine.
I had a stepfather
who was somewhere between a
a big brother and the coolest
uncle you could have kind.
Like a friend.
But he died when I was 16.
How?
Uh [SIGHS]
I found him and a friend
shot in the back of the head
in a railroad switchyard.
It wasn't the kind of crime police
were trying real hard to solve,
if you know what I mean.
I'm sorry.
Life is choices.
Making bad ones
was my family's specialty.
Now, they're all gone.
We don't need to talk about my family.
We need to talk about yours.
I shouldn't care.
I don't know who he is.
So why am I
so fucking scared to do this?
What's your favorite memory with him?
I was in Mexico.
I was nine.
We were at my uncle's hacienda.
We were taking pictures,
and my mom wanted us all on horses.
Me, my sister, my father,
my uncle, his wife, his two sons.
And he had a daughter.
Maybe a year old.
She could barely walk.
She just stumbled around
like an old drunk,
knocking into everything
and falling down.
And my aunt placed her on a horse.
And the horse takes off
with the baby on its back. And
we all watched in slow motion
as this baby was
falling six feet to the ground.
My father raced his horse up,
jumped from it,
catches the baby
maybe six inches off the ground,
pulled her to his chest and rolled.
The baby didn't get a scratch.
But it scared the shit out of her,
so she cried.
So he handed her to my aunt,
looked at my mother and said,
"Maybe it's better
someone just hold the baby,"
as if he jumped off of horses
to save infants all the time.
I thought he was immortal.
There's, uh
there's a psychology course
in building sources.
It says your father
will always be the man he was
in your fondest memory of him.
Unless he was abusive,
then it's the worst.
And you will always be the age you were
when that memory was formed.
So
[SIGHS]
you got to remind yourself,
you ain't nine.
You're a woman.
And he is half the man
you made him out to be, if that.
[SNIFFLES]
I might need to take this course.
[CHUCKLES]
Imagine all the grief it would
save me dating. [LAUGHS]
I haven't figured out
how to apply it to that yet.
Yeah. Let me know when you do.
[LAUGHS]
Yeah.
[EXHALES]
It needs to happen this morning.
We're a day behind.
Your father's too smart.
He's gonna figure out
what this isn't real quick,
if he hasn't already.
Then he's gonna start wondering
what this really is.
[DENISE] If you don't put
arnica on it, Pete, it'll scar.
I don't care.
Well, you will care
in about three years,
and you'll really care in ten.
[PETE] I said I don't want it!
[DENISE] It should've healed a week ago.
But here's a thought, don't pick fights,
and there won't be anything
to have to heal.
- Mom, I didn't pick it.
- He didn't pick it, honey.
Catcher charged him. Right, buddy?
I don't know what that means.
It means he didn't pick it.
[DENISE] You want some milk, babe?
- [SAM] Is that real milk?
- It's almond milk, honey.
[TAYLAN] The world is now so warped,
we refer to the compressed juice
of mass-produced almonds
and corn syrup as "milk."
The extract from
a fruit or seed is a juice,
not milk. I would
like some milk from a cow,
from the mammaries of a cow,
where all actual milk is produced.
You are so based.
Cow's milk is in the fridge,
and if you're old enough
to lecture me about it,
you are certainly old enough
to walk to the refrigerator
- and get it.
- I guess we've reached
the part of my childhood where
you act like a total witch
to ensure I leave the nest
upon graduation.
[DENISE SCOFFS] Yes, in fact,
the minute you walk the stage,
your bags will be packed
on the other side, waiting.
Dad!
Hey, you swing a stick at the nest,
- expect a hornet to come out.
- [DENISE] Call me a bitch again.
I said "witch." Dad!
- [PHONE VIBRATES]
- I need a minute.
[QUIETLY] Fuck.
I don't know when I became
a second-class citizen in my own home.
I said I need a minute!
When your father's office calls,
you leave him alone.
Yeah.

Yeah, like sitting on our hands

You'd better be ready to mesmerize

that explains this.
There is no story,
and there'll be no statement.
We have agents working undercover,
and statements endanger their lives
- and hinder the investigation.
- Right.
Yeah.
Let's see how far
you can kick that fucking ball.
That genie's gonna be pretty tough
to squeeze back in the bottle.
We're gonna need to fire

It's how they always played.
Their technology got better.
You know, it used to be

Now it's suicide vests

[PABLO] Let me tell you about the CIA.
In July of 2000, heroin was
almost completely eradicated
from the United States.
It was impossible to find.
Then 9/11.
Then your CIA funded
every militia in Afghanistan
and every poppy field they could plant,
and they brought back a drug
that had been dormant for a decade.
That's your CIA.
They don't care about drugs.
And they don't care about
some South Texas congresswoman
living in a $6 million dollar house
a half hour from the border.
So they wreck your career.
And I bet they really wrecked it, too,
gave you no options.

Let me start by saying
that I am very fucking pissed
- about
- [DOOR CLOSES]
[NEWS ANCHOR]
A joint statement from the FBI,
DOJ and the DEA
highlights the extremely
sensitive nature
of the operation
and deep concerns
that discussing it
would jeopardize
the lives of undercover agents
still in the field,
but what we do know
is this is the largest
loss of life
for a federal agency
since the ill-fated raid
on the Branch Davidian
compound some 30
- years ago.
- To this point,
you have violated
virtually every assurance
you gave us when we authorized
this operation.
Wait, the operation we are on
now is so far from the operation
- that you initially requested
- Whose fault is that?
- It's not ours.
- [HOLLAR] Did the CIA appoint
a different deputy director
since our last meeting?
Did Special Activities
your program in particular
mysteriously find itself
under the control
of people not standing in this room??
We were given a mission:
return the congresswoman,
which we did.
Then you gave us the task
of infiltrating
the largest criminal organization
inside our closest neighbor
with an asset not of our choosing,
with agencies
that we specifically warned
- against working with.
- You were given
a blank fucking check
for resources and assets,
and all you've done is commit our Army
to its first battle in Iraq
in a fucking decade,
and then run a nighttime raid in Mexico
on a human smuggling operation
and don't bother
rescuing the smuggled humans
when you fucking find them.
[WESTFIELD] We were sent in
with a team of eight
and intel from a stateside
law enforcement agency
that was mandated by you!
We have never mandated any parameters
to the execution of your
missions, apart from avoidance
of collateral damage
and maintaining your cover,
both of which you have
entirely violated.
That's fucking bullshit!
Come on. Everybody sit down.
Come on, sit the fuck down.
Now, how do we move on from this?
Hmm?
We're so far off the original purpose
of this mission that I can hardly
remember what the fuck it is.
Now, what happens when your Lioness
is in fucking Mexico,
a place where there is no rule of law,
what happens when your QRF
is outnumbered a hundred to one,
in a nation that will see your actions
as a crime
and an act of war, simultaneously?
We are a clandestine
organization, sir
I don't know if you can
make that claim anymore.
- Go fuck yourself.
- [HOLLAR] Are you unaware
of the chain of command in this room?
You are at the bottom of it,
so show some fucking respect, Byron.
[MULLINS] All right, all right.
Come on.
Now, we have a series of catastrophes
that need to be contained.
And I need to fully understand
if this operation is executable,
and exactly what the future risks are.
If I may, we have made contact
with Carrillo in Dallas.
We have a Lioness and the shadow
they're embedded.
Once inside, they were compromised
by security personnel
unknown to the operation.
- Why were they unknown?
- Two reasons.
We were given a timeline
of days to insert,
giving us no time to mine proper intel.
And two, the DEA agent that was
assigned to our task force
has an informant working
in the Carrillo estate.
This information was withheld
from us, intentionally.
So, this renders everything
we have done to this point
as compromised,
and every future operation
as compromised as well.
Define compromised.
Carrillo physically
assaulted our Lioness,
which caused our shadow
to have to intervene,
which mandated QRF to have
to take control of the scene.
QRF one has removed Carrillo
and the informant
to a safe location and QRF two remanded
the compromised agent into custody
- at Bliss
- [MASON] We are not authorized
to detain a federal agent.
Under U.S. Code 2381,
our officers are authorized
to detain anyone
who gives aid to our enemies abroad
or within the United States.
TFO is assisting in cleaning up
the scene in Dallas.
Meanwhile, we have to decide
whether we're gonna act
with the information we possess
or whether we're gonna
shut the operation down.
I should also add
that our senior case officer
was injured in the altercation
at the border.
She's being treated at Keesler.
If the operation is successful,
she will be
- transported to Reed.
- Are you talking about Joe?
I am, sir.
Wounded how?
Gunshot to the chest.
The bullet, uh, penetrated the liver,
fragments entered the lungs.
Is there a prognosis?
- No.
- There is not.
[SIGHS]
I don't know.
A successful mission would send
a strong message to the Chinese,
but would have no value from
a public perspective standpoint,
because we must publicly deny
that a mission took place.
This feels like a punt.
Slow down,
find another way in.
With less risk
and a lot less collateral damage.

He must either be released

Well, I don't see a plan to go forward.
We shift our mission focus, sir.
We shift it from an insertion
to a hard target hit.
We transport Carrillo back to Mexico.
We focus on the senior
leadership within that cartel.
And we hope that MSS is embedded
- with that leadership.

But he died when I was 16.
How?

I found him and a friend
shot in the back of the head
in a railroad switchyard.
It wasn't the kind of crime police
were trying real hard to solve,

I'm sorry.
Life is choices.
Making bad ones
was my family's specialty.
Now, they're all gone.
We don't need to talk about my family.
We need to talk about yours.
I shouldn't care.
I don't know who he is.
So why am I
so fucking scared to do this?
What's your favorite memory with him?
I was in Mexico.
I was nine.
We were at my uncle's hacienda.
We were taking pictures,
and my mom wanted us all on horses.
Me, my sister, my father,
my uncle, his wife, his two sons.
And he had a daughter.
Maybe a year old.
She could barely walk.
She just stumbled around
like an old drunk,
knocking into everything
and falling down.
And my aunt placed her on a horse.
And the horse takes off
with the baby on its back. And
we all watched in slow motion
as this baby was
falling six feet to the ground.
My father raced his horse up,
jumped from it,
catches the baby
maybe six inches off the ground,
pulled her to his chest and rolled.
The baby didn't get a scratch.
But it scared the shit out of her,
so she cried.
So he handed her to my aunt,
looked at my mother and said,
"Maybe it's better
someone just hold the baby,"
as if he jumped off of horses
to save infants all the time.
I thought he was immortal.
There's, uh
there's a psychology course
in building sources.
It says your father
will always be the man he was
in your fondest memory of him.
Unless he was abusive,
then it's the worst.
And you will always be the age you were
when that memory was formed.

maybe they cut a deal and flip again,
but when you get caught
flipping in our game
we are gonna wring every lie out of you
and then we're gonna kill you.
And then we're gonna grind you up
and fertilize the garden at Guantanamo
with your fucking ass.
The fuck are you talking about?
[GROANING]
[KYLE] It's a three-hour drive to base.
That's how long you have to accept.
And you can't lie to me, 'cause lying
is my fucking business,
and I am the best at what I do.
[SIRENS WAILING]
[MIKE] I got no vitals.
Eyes are dilated.
[SURGEON] Oh, don't hit her
with those paddles.
- That won't stop the blood loss.
- [MIKE] There is no blood loss.
[SURGEON] It's a GSW with
no exit, the blood is internal.
All right, let's run
a crystalloid drip, one liter.
Can we get some oxygen?
[AIR HISSES]
Let's get her up.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- [ROTOR WHIRRING]
[SIGHS]
How is she?
She had to be revived en route.
She's in surgery now.
What does the family know?
I have the husband en route.
You think that's a good idea?
He's a surgeon. I mean,
he's aware of the obstacles,
and he could be helpful.
- Who knows?
- That is not what I meant.
Joe doesn't share with him.
He knows enough not to ask.
So, what am I walking into here?
A buzz saw. It's the lead story
on a slow Monday.
It's the worst possible combination.
Is the cover holding?
So far.
[DOOR CLOSES]
I have something for your back pocket.
The agent DEA sent over
he was working a member
of the Carrillo household.
The maid. He had her wired.
Took us on two suicide missions
and never divulged
his informant in the house.
So, if he had the maid,
he knew security was staged
across the street.
And he knew it was wired into security,
and he never shared any of it.
You know this how?
Things are falling apart everywhere.
[WESTFIELD EXHALES]
We turn this on them.
They were the ones
that told us to work with them.
They were the ones that
authorized the follow detail
on Joe in the first place.
Yeah, well, I'm gonna do
a lot more than turn it on 'em.
I'm gonna beat 'em
over the fucking head with it.
- [KNOCKING]
- [DOOR OPENS]
Let me start by saying
that I am very fucking pissed
- about
- [DOOR CLOSES]
[NEWS ANCHOR]
A joint statement from the FBI,
DOJ and the DEA
highlights the extremely
sensitive nature
of the operation
and deep concerns
that discussing it
would jeopardize
the lives of undercover agents
still in the field,
but what we do know
is this is the largest
loss of life
for a federal agency
since the ill-fated raid
on the Branch Davidian
compound some 30
- years ago.
- To this point,
you have violated
virtually every assurance
you gave us when we authorized
this operation.
Wait, the operation we are on
now is so far from the operation
- that you initially requested
- Whose fault is that?
- It's not ours.
- [HOLLAR] Did the CIA appoint
a different deputy director
since our last meeting?
Did Special Activities
your program in particular
mysteriously find itself
under the control
of people not standing in this room??
We were given a mission:
return the congresswoman,
which we did.
Then you gave us the task
of infiltrating
the largest criminal organization
inside our closest neighbor
with an asset not of our choosing,
with agencies
that we specifically warned
- against working with.
- You were given
a blank fucking check
for resources and assets,
and all you've done is commit our Army
to its first battle in Iraq
in a fucking decade,
and then run a nighttime raid in Mexico
on a human smuggling operation
and don't bother
rescuing the smuggled humans
when you fucking find them.
[WESTFIELD] We were sent in
with a team of eight
and intel from a stateside
law enforcement agency
that was mandated by you!
We have never mandated any parameters
to the execution of your
missions, apart from avoidance
of collateral damage
and maintaining your cover,
both of which you have
entirely violated.
That's fucking bullshit!
Come on. Everybody sit down.
Come on, sit the fuck down.
Now, how do we move on from this?
Hmm?
We're so far off the original purpose
of this mission that I can hardly
remember what the fuck it is.
Now, what happens when your Lioness
is in fucking Mexico,
a place where there is no rule of law,
what happens when your QRF
is outnumbered a hundred to one,
in a nation that will see your actions
as a crime
and an act of war, simultaneously?
We are a clandestine
organization, sir
I don't know if you can
make that claim anymore.
- Go fuck yourself.
- [HOLLAR] Are you unaware
of the chain of command in this room?
You are at the bottom of it,
so show some fucking respect, Byron.
[MULLINS] All right, all right.
Come on.
Now, we have a series of catastrophes
that need to be contained.
And I need to fully understand
if this operation is executable,
and exactly what the future risks are.
If I may, we have made contact
with Carrillo in Dallas.
We have a Lioness and the shadow
they're embedded.
Once inside, they were compromised
by security personnel
unknown to the operation.
- Why were they unknown?
- Two reasons.
We were given a timeline
of days to insert,
giving us no time to mine proper intel.
And two, the DEA agent that was
assigned to our task force
has an informant working
in the Carrillo estate.
This information was withheld
from us, intentionally.
So, this renders everything
we have done to this point
as compromised,
and every future operation
as compromised as well.
Define compromised.
Carrillo physically
assaulted our Lioness,
which caused our shadow
to have to intervene,
which mandated QRF to have
to take control of the scene.
QRF one has removed Carrillo
and the informant
to a safe location and QRF two remanded
the compromised agent into custody
- at Bliss
- [MASON] We are not authorized
to detain a federal agent.
Under U.S. Code 2381,
our officers are authorized
to detain anyone
who gives aid to our enemies abroad
or within the United States.
TFO is assisting in cleaning up
the scene in Dallas.
Meanwhile, we have to decide
whether we're gonna act
with the information we possess
or whether we're gonna
shut the operation down.
I should also add
that our senior case officer
was injured in the altercation
at the border.
She's being treated at Keesler.
If the operation is successful,
she will be
- transported to Reed.
- Are you talking about Joe?
I am, sir.
Wounded how?
Gunshot to the chest.
The bullet, uh, penetrated the liver,
fragments entered the lungs.
Is there a prognosis?
- No.
- There is not.
[SIGHS]
I don't know.
A successful mission would send
a strong message to the Chinese,
but would have no value from
a public perspective standpoint,
because we must publicly deny
that a mission took place.
This feels like a punt.
Slow down,
find another way in.
With less risk
and a lot less collateral damage.
Unfortunately, sir, I
I don't think we're in a stopping place.
- Why not?
- We are currently
holding number two in
the Chihuahua-Coahuila cartel.
That will not go unnoticed.
We are also holding
the agent with the DEA.
He must either be released
or handed over to DOJ.
Well, I don't see a plan to go forward.
We shift our mission focus, sir.
We shift it from an insertion
to a hard target hit.
We transport Carrillo back to Mexico.
We focus on the senior
leadership within that cartel.
And we hope that MSS is embedded
- with that leadership.
- [HOLLAR] How does that solve
the issue that we're still
detaining a U.S. citizen
with no authority to do so,
and a federal officer?
The QRF will ensure that neither return
once the operation is complete.

[EXHALES SHARPLY] All right.
[SIGHS] I'm stepping out.

We cannot and will not authorize one.
I'm not saying it shouldn't happen.
What I'm saying is
we can't authorize it.
Understood?
Understood, sir.
[MASON] We need this
entire thing to disappear, Byron.
Make the whole goddamn thing go away.
We will.
Get to Bliss, then Dallas.
Find us a way out of this tornado.
[MEADE] How bad do you want the target?
I don't-I don't give a shit
about the target. I want out.
If the target's the way out, so be it.
If not, just get me contain.

It's your file.
Every case you're working,
every request for surveillance,
every CI. Everything.
Ain't the NSA a beautiful thing?
[KYLE] Doesn't mention
the maid at Carrillo's house.
Shit. Doesn't even mention Carrillo.
You don't have an open
investigation on him.
The fuck we don't.
No, I didn't say the agency, I said you.
This is the DEA file on Carrillo,
and it is pretty fucking thin.
I got no wiretap requests,
no bank searches,
no data mining of any kind.
You know what I got?
A known associate designation
and his fucking tax returns.
But you [LAUGHS]
[GROANS]
You got a wire on his fucking maid
and no record of it.
There's a federal statute, 2381.
It details our nation's
definition of treason,
which is knowingly aiding
an enemy of the state
which Carrillo clearly is
and withholding information
from a federal agent or agency
that results in harm to
a federal agent or agency
is considered aiding
an enemy of the state.
This is an act of war, Raymond.
See, this falls under AUMF.
It is the authorized
use of military force
to protect the state against
both foreign and U.S. nationals.
AUMF number 107-40, statute 224.
That means, Raymond,
I can kill you for what you did
to us yesterday,
and I can kill you
for what you won't tell us.

Sit up against the wall.
There you go.
You're gonna feel better now.
So
Your wife is Amanda.
Her maiden name is Petit and, uh,
she's a physical therapist.
Your son Rafael
he's 14.
Danny is 11 and Kendra, your daughter,
is nine.
So, the first thing we're gonna do
is we're gonna release your home address
and then the name and location
of their schools, and
Danny's tae kwon do class,
Kendra's dance class,
the home address of your parents,
your in-laws, because killing you
isn't gonna satiate our appetite
to do you harm
for what you've done to us.
So, your only option
to spare your family this fate
and any hint you might have
of a future on this planet
is complete surrender.
You have to surrender everything.
Every name, every connection,
every link to the cartel
- and yourself.

No, I understand everything.
You don't understand.
If I made a file of it,
then he would know.
Then everybody would fucking know.

Nothing.

Far as his bank accounts,
he's got checking and savings account.
Never more than eight grand
in the checking.
Three hundred grand in the savings.
Now, how'd he buy that house?
Hmm?
He fucking didn't.
A guy named Peter Ramon built it
and then he fucking died.
And guess what?
He left it to Carrillo
in his fucking will.
How's that for laundering money?
It's so fucking clean,
motherfucker could write a book.
But proof? One shred of evidence?
Doesn't exist.
