Hey, boys, we gotta roll!

Sh*t. Sir, it's those trucks,

- about 1,000 yards.

- Yep.

Ma'am, I'm taking you out.

Hey, Chief, he took a round to the eye with the exit wound behind the ear.

He's alive, but we gotta get moving now!

I lost Whiplash on the run.

Told 'em you hit the target early.

Breathe, Mikey. Come on, Mikey.

- I got no pulse.

QRF coming up the rear!

Whiplash! Whiplash!

Secondary extract is burnt.

Moving to tertiary extract.

I have eight packs,

seven Sierras, one package.

Package with multiple wounds.

The Sierra has gunshot wound to the head.

This will be a hot extract.

What the f***?!

- Oh, sh*t!

- Mikey, stay down!

- Keep him down, man!

- Where the f*** am I?!

- Calm down, brother.

- Mikey's up, man. Mikey's up.

Stay down, brother. Calm.

Be easy. We're almost out of here.

We're almost out of here.

Mikey!

- Hang on, buddy.

- Where are we?

- We're on our way to extract.

- What happened?

You're good to go.

You took one to the face, man.

You're a hard motherf***er.

- Did we get her?

- Yes.

- Oh, my God.

- We're on our way to extract.

Ajay, splash it. Splash it.

Water! Water! Water!

Going in! Going in!

I got her! I got her!

It's f***ing going under.

Out! Get the f*** out!

It wasn't for nothing.

You know, from time to time,

I get to see my old friends

from my old life.

And it's always, always disappointing.

Some become a**holes,

other boring,

and I can't believe I tried to get them

in bed all those years ago.

Hey.

It is nice not to be disappointed, Yuri.

- That's not my name.

- I know.

Mohammed Abu Shabal,

the son of Shabal.

Come on.

Your father's name is Yevgeny.

Things change.

Yeah, things have changed.

That's why this is the last time...

we might have to see each other

for quite some time.

For I might have

to find a hole to hide in.

I don't understand.

I'm being watched by the CIA,

and I'm not taking any chances.

As soon as the opportunity

presents itself,

I'm taking my family south.

I neither have the energy or the will

to fight the Americans.

What about our deal, Mikhail?

My men have been training

for almost a year now.

- I have devoted much of my resources...

- The deal stands, Yuri.

Just because I've taken

early retirement does not mean

I'm not holding up

my end of the bargain.

There is so much to be done.

And it will be, just without me.

You'll have to use

my trusted associates.

That's not so good for me.

- Hey...

- Hey! Shut up!

Shut up!

Stop your f***ing bullshit!

It's not good. Doesn't work.

You can't change it like that.

- Nothing changes. Nothing.

- You just told me everything's changed.

What... What is that?

What is that?

Do you know what I do to get here?!

Do you know the men who I've

had to sacrifice to get here?!

Do you have any idea?!

No, you sh*t! You live up here

in this Ivory tower!

You have no... You don't care!

Hey, Chief, what's the status on Mikey?

He's definitely gonna lose the eye,

but he's... he's hanging tough.

Hey, I'm gonna get right into this.

Greatjob smoke-checking those

a**holes and getting Morales back.

It's a bum deal for Mikey, but I gotta

tell you what, that was solid work.

So, Chief, you make sure you get

that down to the boys right away.

- You hear me?

- Check.

All right. Now, Morales,

Morales was one tough chick,

but she should've gotten the stuff

up the chain a lot faster...

because this thing is way

bigger than we thought it was.

How is that? I thought this was

a cut-and-dry AMCIT recovery.

Yeah, it was until we got into that phone

that you guys picked up in that shithole.

It turned me on to something

that just does not look right at all.

- And what's not right about it?

- Christo and Shabal are a lot closer

than I thought they were,

and Shabal is a wild card, man.

He is an old-school jihadi that couldn't

give a rat's ass about money or drugs.

Yeah, and his childhood friend,

Christo, the dope dealer?

He is not a dealer, man.

He's a smuggler.

- You have got to be kidding me.

- That is exactly what I'm thinking.

Shabal wants to kill Americans.

Christo knows how to get

f***ers inside America.

This could be big trouble

in little China, fellas.

They're gonna hit us at home.
