It's always about the agency.

Wait, you're considering this?

What are you going to do, fly into some

cartel stronghold and shoot it up?

It's not protected at night.

We walk in, we walk out.

Look, we're not going to

be able to talk her out.

You paying for this?

Scale, two operators?

We can loosen up some cash here.

Fine.

Good.

Make some calls, this needs

to happen right away.

Hey...

Hey, hey.

I want one of them donuts.

Hey don't you go shooting

anyone I know with that piece.

F*** you too, Dale.

Invoice me.

Hey, I'm borrowing the van!

I'm gonna need a computer.

You know any internet

cafes around here?

Yeah let's go to my place,

it'll be a lot safer.

Bathroom's over there.

I gotta take a shower, I smell like

a hooker. You need anything?

Just gonna use your laptop.

Yeah, go ahead.

So you live alone?

Yeah, when I'm around,

travel a lot for work.

You travel with Sarah?

Yeah, articles had taken

her down to Colombia.

- Did you get the laptop?

- Yeah.

What's going on?

Nothing, it's fine everything's okay.

You mind if I make

myself some coffee?

Yeah, second cabinet.

You want me to heat that up for you?

I gotta get out of here.

And you get out of my email.

Where are you going?

Gotta meet the contractors.

- You mean like, mercenaries?

- Yeah, same thing.

Well what if something happens

to her? What if she dies?

I don't see we have any other

options in the time we have left.

- And you're not coming with me.

- Like hell I'm not.

- What is it?

- We've got company.

Sh*t.

Come on, let's go.

Aydame!

- Sh*t.

- Follow me.

Aydame!

Vamos, vamos!

This is modern drug war technology?

Hey, it works.

What happened to your

multi-billion dollar DEA budget?

That van kept getting stolen.

Fitz.

- Cole.

- Weyland.

She's cool.

No photos.

- Everything okay at the border?

- We're clean.

Okay, so listen you guys are

going to invoice me personally.

Money will become available

upon admittance to the DEA.

Okay, this is a single

mark extraction.

Okay.

Let's talk operations.

You have to stay here.

Wait, wait...

What am I supposed to do?

What if they come here?

Just keep a lookout.

- You guys are clear, come on in.

- Copy that.

Oh, sh*t.

Cole, there's somebody here.

- Quiet on the net.

- We have company.

There's four guys,

four guys on the loading dock.

- Are they armed?

- Yeah, yeah I think so.

Copy that.

F***!

F***!

Cole, Wey's down, Wey's down,

we gotta get out.

Hide, hide, they're coming in.

Let's go!

On my mark.

You're going to be okay.

Listen, it's not on you, okay?

Don't worry about it.

You're gonna get him to a medic?

Yeah, I got someone.

I think we should split up.

Are you gonna be okay?

Yeah, I just need some time to think.

What the f*** do you want?

They raided the warehouse.

F***!

- Who the f*** was it?

- We don't know.

Get your sh*t ready. Get your f***ing

sh*t ready. You get the hell out of here.

Ah, f*** it, let's just go.

Well, come on, let's go

kill these motherfuckers.

Vamos, cabrn. Vmanos!

Dale, it was a goddamn clusterfuck.

What the bloody hell were five guys

doing there in the middle of the night?

- Did you know about this?

- No Cole, of course not. They knew.

What are you talking about, Dale?

Who knew what?

Have you heard about your brother?

I'm sorry Cole, man. I didn't

know what to tell you, man.

- They knew.

- Cole.

What's happening?

Cole!

Cole, Cole talk to me.

Cole, this is not the way to do this.

You're never going to get

close to Cesar like this.

What do you think is going

to happen, huh? What are you...

Cole, just stop!

Stop it! Stop it!

Getting yourself killed is

not gonna bring her back.

We can get this guy.

And we can get Sarah and

bring down Montenegro.

How?

I know her editor.

These machines are usually running.

Where is everyone?

That's him.

That's Hector, that's the editor.

Well, they were

definitely scared off.

Sh*t.

They must be in hiding.

Even if we knew where he lived,

he wouldn't be there.

"For your birthday, love mom."

What's the betting he

told his mom where he is?

Home address.

- Buenas, seora.

- Buenas.

You look like sh*t.

What took you so long?

It doesn't look like she gets too

many visitors, she wanted to talk.

To a census taker?

She made me coffee.

I did get an address.

It's a motel just out of town,

she said it's her son's.

Made me promise not to

give it to any bad guys.

Alright.

It's right there.

You wait here, I'll check it out.

A friend of Sarah's,

I just want to talk!

I just want some information!

Trying to find out where she is.

Hector...

it's me, Gracie.

Gracie...

the photographer.

How did you find me?

We found your mother.

How is she?

- Is she okay?

- She's okay, she's fine.

For now, but if we can

find her, anyone can.

- Put the gun down.

- Put the gun down.

Put it away!

Put it away.

He's okay.

We just wanna talk.

Relax, okay?

We're looking for

information on Sarah.

Did you hear what

happened to her husband?

Yeah, I did.

Poor bastard didn't have a chance.

We think she could still be alive,

but we need to know how to find her.

I doubt that she's alive.

Do you know what she

was working on, exactly?

She was following the money.

Offshore money transfers.

Then came the bearer bonds,

and that's what derailed everything.

By the way, how is my mother?

Is she worried?

She's fine, she made me coffee.

Did you ever see any

of her informants?

No, I never met them.

She was religious about

protecting their identity.

How many were there?

I don't know. They came, they left.

A recent one she called "the boy".

- She was very protective of him.

- Do you know how she contacted him?

Ya, she would text message him,

through this number.

We have to send a password

with it too, it was her idea.

Well...

thank you very much.

- Sorry I shot at you.

- You're not the first.

- Want to go?

- Yeah, thank you.

- So, what do I do now?

- You're doing it.

Just lay low and

hopefully this'll go...

Get to the bathroom,

keep your head down.

Check if they're dead.

Come on, we're going to

get the f*** out of here.

- Just go to the car, okay?

- Okay, okay, let's go.

On three, straight to the car.

Two, three.

- Oh, god.

- You okay?

Yeah, you?

Yeah, still in one piece.

I need you to send that text now.

He's agreed to meet in

an hour, by the school.

- You know where that is?

- Yeah.

- Est bien.

- Okay.

Gracias.

Okay, so by "boy" she

actually meant boy.

He's the one that stole the bonds.

Did he know where she is?

He's not sure. He's Raul's nephew.

He was working for Cesar and...

said there's been a lot of activity on his

uncle's property the past couple days.

That could be anything.

It's the best we got,

and it's recent.

What do you wanna do now?

I don't know yet.

We could go to the police.

Who can we trust?

Look what happened to Johnny.

I understand now why she

agreed to take the bonds.

She was protecting that boy.
