You need to understand something.

Ethan is my friend

And if I have 1 second of doubt

whose side you're on.

I believe you...

Alright.

- Alright.

What do I have to go on?

- Not much.

And not a lot of time.

His name is Solomon Lane.

He created the Syndicate.

Where does he come from?

He's former British intelligence.

Well. If British intelligence

knows the Syndicate exist,

why don't they just tell the CIA?

Because they don't want

anyone knowing the

Syndicate was created by one of their own.

I was sent undercover to earn Lane's trust.

And eventually identifying

the members of his organization.

For the first time in 2 years,

I'm close to knowing who they are.

Lane had a ledger. It contain

the identities of his operatives,

his terrorist associates, the entire

inner workings of the Syndicate.

One of his agents stole it

hoping to blackmail him.

He kept it in a secure computer

facility for safe keeping.

He died being interrogated

for the access code.

Leaving Lane with a serious problem.

So the key to crushing Lane is sitting in a...

...computer just waiting

for someone to take it?

So why hasn't Lane just

send someone to steal it?

Oh, he has.

He sent me.

And I can tell you.

It's impossible.

The facility is hidden beneath the

local power plant under military guard.

And the only way to download

the ledger is through...

...the central computer

terminal located there.

To reach the terminal,

you'll need to pass the main gates.

Access the elevator with

fingerprint recognition

And open 3 separate combination locks.

Well, that's easy. We just impersonate the...

...agent who stole the

ledger in the first place.

And.

I get to wear a mask.

Unfortunately, even if you can make

it through every other security measure...

...you won't beat the last one. That's

because it's protected by gait analysis.

A step beyond facial recognition.

These cameras actually know

how the agent walks,

how he talks, how he moves,

right down to his facial takes.

So, what you're saying is,

no mask can beat it.

We're busted before we could

even get into the vault.

And I wind up in a Morocco

jail playing mommies...

...and daddies without a mother strangler.

Okay, I don't get to wear a mask.

And there's no other way

into the computer lab?

No other way in.

Air Shaft?

- 6 inch diameter pipe.

Foundation?

- 12 feet of concrete, top and bottom.

Electrical conduit?

- Bottom line is,

there's no way into that terminal unless...

...your profile is pre-installed

in the security system.

Profile?

Where're the profile stored?

All security data is stored

offline in the liquid cooler aid.

Here, inside the torus,

liquid cooled.

You mean that thing is under water?

Yes.

- Yes.

Okay.

So, to get the ledger, one of us

needs to enter the torus...

...and change the security profile.

So that the other one can access

the computer without being caught.

That's the only way.

- That's the only way.

Can I get in through there.

What's that?

- That's the service hatch.

It can only be opened from the inside

If you try and open it from the outside,

you'll be hit with 70 thousand

gallons of pressurized water.

Where does the water come from?

Desalinized seawater

flows through the intake.

In the pipeline.

And before you ask.

The system is designed to shut down...

...automatically if any

metal enters the intake.

No oxygen tanks.

Alright. Well, how long will it take to free...

...swim from the intake to the service hatch.

2 minutes.

With the current at full power.

Well. Then, you just have to hold

your breath for 2 minutes.

What about installing the security profile?

Well. That's gonna be like a minute tops.

So, I have to hold my breath for 3 minutes?

You can do that.

But I think you're overlooking,

is the physical exertion.

The more you exert yourself,

the faster you consume oxygen.

Don't worry about him.

Alright.

All he has to do is install the fake

profile before I get to the gait analysis.

You said it yourself,

it's the only way

That doesn't sound impossible.

Satellite over-watch

covering all 7 continents,

DNA profiling, facial recognition,

drone surveillance, drone strikes.

So, how are we suppose to find

Ethan and Benji before they do?

I'm not even looking for them.

I'm looking for her.

What do you mean?

These sketches, what do you see?

Ethan's not exactly sure who this guys is.

But this woman, he knows her.

He trust her.

I'm betting that if he's not

already with her, he's on his way.

Find her, find Ethan.

Tell me it's possible to pull

facial recognition of a sketch.

For mere mortals, no.

For me, I could've done this at home.

Alright.

How long is this going to take?

- Found her.

CCTV picked her up

at the airport in Casablanca.

What the hell?

She's bad news.

Card.

- Hello.

Sorry...

Your card is not working.

- Benji, we're in.

Thank you.

One more time.

You have 3 minutes.

2.5 minutes to switch the security profile.

30 seconds to escape

through the service hatch.

Remember, conserve oxygen.

Don't move a muscle if you don't have to.

I'm in the elevator.

That current will carry you to a torus.

Once you're there,

I'll shut it down.

Important note.

The profile is in slot 108.

And a slightly more important note,

if you haven't switched that profile

before I reach the gait analysis,

I'm dead.

Thank you, Benji.

What's the problem?

- The cooling system is rebooting...

...by itself.

Oaf.

All systems' normal.

All systems at full power.

No-no-no...

You're alright.

You're okay.

See.

What did I told you.

Difficult, absolutely,

but certainly not impossible...

Jesus, is he alright?

What happened? What happened?

Okay.

Okay.

Here.

Hey.

I misjudged you.

Hey, man. Hey.

You okay? How're you doing?

Hey, buddy.

Benji.

- Yes, it's Benji.

You did good.

You take a moment, alright.

Just-Just take a moment.

There's nothing a little sunshine

and fresh air won't fix you.

You'll be as right as rain.

- What are you doing here?

Look-look-look...

We got it.

I knew we'll get it.

Listen. I don't want to

sound ungrateful, okay.

I appreciate everything you do for me, but...

...one of these days,

you're gonna take it too far.

We got it.

We're gonna nail that...

Wait.

Wait.

I thought you said you can find him?

I said I could locate him.

You've to find him.

Right.

Where's Hunt?

He's dead.

Oh.

That really hurts!

Can you walk?

- Yes, I can.

We have to get to her before Lane does.

Whoa-whoa-whoa...

Are you okay to drive?

I mean. A minute ago you were dead.

What are you talking about?

This is not gonna end well.

There she is.

Stairs, stairs, stairs!

Stairs, stairs, stairs!

Ah!

God damn it.

Whoa.

Hey?

I found them.

Come on, man.

Sh*t.

It's a high-speed chase.

You just had to get the 4 by 4, didn't you?

Hey, look. Don't blame me.

You chose the car.

You just had to have it!

- Do you want me to drive?

Do you want me to drive?

- Look, it's a stick.
