Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia Page #3

---

The Colombian government

has issued a statement

condemning the actions

of the U.S. military,

and is calling for an immediate withdrawal

of all U.S. armed forces of the region.

They've also released this video

of a captured American serviceman.

It seems talk of peace regarding

Colombia's 40 years of internal strife

is now all but history.

Holy God, this has gone tits-up.

Commander, your men have lost control.

No. I know my men. This is wrong.

This is not right. They've been set up.

Carl Dobb, CIA.

Commander, you are ordered

to stand down immediately.

- I still have men in the field.

- This is no longer a military operation.

Listen up, people.

This is a high priority situation,

I have full NSA authority.

Are there any questions?

I'm sorry.

I can't untie you.

You Navy SEALs don't know

when to give up.

- Who are you? FARC?

- No.

- Colombian Army?

- The FARC killed my wife and my son.

Colombian Army was also at that meet.

You murdered your own countrymen.

Anyone who wishes to make peace

with those monsters

are no countrymen of mine.

They are traitors.

Think it's empty. I'll secure the site.

Everyone went home for the night.

This is awesome.

It's like junior high all over again.

So, why didn't they pick us up?

It's the Colombian President.

He looks pissed.

He's calling us assassins.

An American military hit squad

sent to derail the peace talks between

FARC and the Colombian government.

Assassins?

That's not even off our vid packs.

Yeah, somebody wanted

that peace summit stopped.

They wanted us to take the blame for it.

Now he's saying we did it

because the U.S. believes

that as long as FARC is a problem,

Colombians will be dependent

upon us for aid,

and therefore will remain

America's puppet.

No, no, no, no.

We saw the guys that ambushed us.

The Colombian Army hit

its own peace talks. Why?

- First, we get Kevin.

- I agree.

They're only gonna keep him alive

for a few more photo ops.

- Check the radio.

- I'm on it.

Got static. We're too far out of range.

We're gonna need a trace,

and we're gonna need wheels.

Maserati, Ferrari? What do you want?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wait! This guy...

He is the one I saw

doing most of the talking

before the bullets started flying.

- Okay. Who is he?

- He's a witness.

Protesters have

been throwing firebombs

at the American Embassy,

shouting "U.S. out of Colombia. "

Look, I'm sorry about your men.

I need the CIA intel on Rivera

and this Apotequil character.

I wanna know who sent my men

into a meat grinder.

Don't know if I can do that.

You and I both know that

if the Colombians get a hold of my men,

there'll be no handling it

through diplomatic channels.

- The Colombians are an ally of the U.S.

- They will say my men resisted.

They will say there was a fire fight.

It will be an execution.

Okay. Okay.

Boytano.

Hey, I had to call your wife

to get your number.

You okay? What's your status?

Well, we've got everybody in Colombia

on our ass.

You know we didn't do this.

You're being hung out to dry.

The Company's calling the shots,

trying to save face.

You know, there was a general.

He survived.

He can confirm we're not the shooters.

Yeah, well, he's not talking.

The Colombians are calling it

an act of war.

The FARC has gone apeshit.

They're burning down entire villages.

Yeah, great job on the extraction,

by the way.

Washington...

Washington wants to talk this out.

They want you to surrender.

Is that what you want?

What do you need?

I need a trace on a radio frequency

in Villavicencio.

What are the numbers?

Cluster of radio signals, 118 degrees,

four minutes, six seconds east.

Twenty-four, twenty-six, forty-six north.

Traded my last favor for that.

Get our man out alive.

God, this building's poured concrete.

I can't get any heat signatures.

- We're gonna have to go in blind.

- It's a tactical nightmare.

- Hostile count?

- Principal's location unknown.

Trident.

It's our boy.

All right, I got this. Two guards

on the roof. Two on the ground.

We're gonna need a big show.

Give me two minutes.

I'll be there for you.

Where's my gear?

Get down!

Goddamn, am I happy to see you.

For the record, I'm only here

'cause you owe Carter ten bucks.

Stop at the ATM on the way out.

- Let's go!

The gate, it's locked!

Grenade! Get out of here!

Meter's running, boys.

What took you guys so long?

This thing got seatbelts?

- Sure you're all right?

- Bastards made me eat McDonalds.

What the hell are you guys

still doing here?

Carter will fill you in.

We need fresh wheels.

- Where are you going?

- See a sick friend.

- Carlos?

- Shut your mouth.

'Cause you and me,

we're gonna have a little talk.

Okay. Okay, okay.

Okay.

- What do you want?

- I was there. I saw what happened.

And I know that

you know we weren't the shooters.

- You understand me?

- Understand. I understand.

I am sorry about

what happened to your people.

But your government's blaming us.

They're calling us assassins.

Yeah, well, I cannot contradict them.

Why not?

Americans are not very popular

in Latin America.

There are people in my government

who want to see the U.S. out,

completely out of South America.

Then we need to do something about that.

Who were the shooters?

Their uniforms had no markings.

I didn't recognize anyone.

You know they weren't American.

We were set up,

and you have to tell the media that.

I saw the news report.

They say you were the only survivor.

- You're a national hero to them.

- No.

The government will discredit me

and call me a liar.

And then they'll shoot me for treason. No.

No, it's too late.

Wait...

Wait.

Unless you have proof.

I'm gonna give you a number.

You find anything, you call me.

It's the only thing that can stop this.

- God, this car smells like boiled ass.

- Hey, sorry.

Okay, it was the only thing I could find

that didn't have goats, chickens,

or people sleeping in the back, okay.

So, did you and the general

solve our little problem there, LT?

His hands are tied

unless we can get him solid proof.

Kevin, tell him what you told me.

The guy in charge's name is Alvaro.

Real intense.

Said his family was killed by the rebels.

There's not a chance in hell this guy wants

to make peace with FARC.

Anything else?

Got a guard to spit out

the location of our gear,

along with a few of his teeth.

I was gonna grab the sat phone

as soon as I blew out of that joint.

And that'd be a great idea,

except for the fact that

the bastards fragged our phone.

Right.

Our vid packs.

Yeah, the vid packs.

Maybe we've got these a**holes on tape.

Proof.

- Let's get our gear.

- 10-4.

This is a major shitstorm.

Colombia's ordered our military and

diplomatic personnel out of the country.

My priority's my men.

The intel about the base

was leaked through the CIA through Rivera.

- He was the only source.

- Son of a b*tch.

Dobb.

You and your Langley gang

got played by your source.
