on the exchange?

You sober?

Will be by the time we get there.

Got a bottle in the truck

in case your hands get shaky.

I know I could always count on you, Keith.

All right, we'll gear you up

as soon as we're done here.

Now, Matt, you can be the tip of the spear,

and we don't have to rob a guy from Delta.

Now, be careful on the turnaround.

If the Federale's a shooter,

it's gonna happen on the turnaround.

Delta's Team One will be the lead vehicle.

We can divide Team Two between the

carry car and the trail vehicle. That okay?

Good. Now, Delta,

if you can identify yourselves,

so everyone knows who to hide behind

if sh*t hits the fan.

The most likely spot for a hit will be

at the border crossing on the return.

Anywhere along the way, anyone not

in this room is a potential shooter.

The op isn't over until we get back here.

Okay?

Be alert. Be vigilant. And be aware. Let's go.

What?

Hey! I thought you were in prison.

They took me out.

They needed somebody for this job.

For good behavior or bad behavior?

Have you ever been over there?

I worked in Jurez.

For the DEA?

No.

For who?

For Mexico.

I was a prosecutor.

You're not American?

No.

Who do you work for now?

I go where I'm sent.

Where were you sent from?

Cartagena.

Colombia.

Listen...

Nothing will make sense

to your American ears.

And you will doubt everything that we do.

But in the end, you will understand.

Here, try this on. See if it fits.

Is he CIA? Are you?

He's a DOD advisor, just like me.

No, he's not.

Just pay attention to Alejandro.

If he says to do somethin', just do it.

I'm not authorized to follow orders

from Alejandro!

Especially in Mexico!

Fine. Then stay here.

But you don't want to, do you?

I just wanna know what I'm getting into.

Kate, you volunteered to get on this train

because you know

you're doing nothing in Phoenix.

You're just sweeping up a f***ing mess.

In six months, every single house you raid

will be rigged with explosives.

Do you want to find the guys responsible?

Yes or no?

Yes.

'Yes?

'Yes!

This is where we start.

Try it on.

There she is.

The beast.

Juarez.

You know,

1900s, President Taft

went to visit President Diaz.

Took 4,000 men with him.

And it almost was called off.

Some guy had a pistol.

Was gonna walk right up to Taft

and just blow his brains out.

But it was avoided. 4,000 troops!

Think he felt safe?

Welcome to Jurez.

It's brilliant what they do.

When they mutilate a body like that,

they make people think

they must have been involved,

they must have deserved such a death

'cause they did something.

It's brilliant what they do.

You hear that?

Those aren't firecrackers.

Mexicans are adjusting our route.

There's activity ahead,

we need to go around. Everyone hold on.

Nothing will happen here.

They try anything, it will be at the border.

Keep an eye out for the State Police.

They're not always the good guys.

Spotter vehicle, left lane. Left lane!

Spotter vehicle, nine o'clock.

I'm gettin' a boner.

Is that one of ours?

Watch the right, watch the right.

No, that's a lone wolf.

Eyes on rooftops.

Nothing.

Rooftops clear.

Bridge is one klick out. Road is secure.

Hotfoot it, gentlemen.

Everyone stay in this lane.

Our agents at the border are

waving traffic through

to get us over as quickly as they can.

Everyone stay frosty.

Okay, it's a f***-up.

What are we gonna do now?

Here's the deal. A car broke down up ahead.

It's being sorted out,

but it's gonna take a while. Stand by.

Get your service weapon out.

Red Impala, two lanes over, on my ten.

Copy that. Red Impala, two lanes left.

Roger that.

Three lanes left. Seven o'clock. Green Civic.

Bring your window down.

Gun.

Gun! Gun left!

What are the rules here?

We must be engaged to engage.

Permission to get out of the vehicle

and set a perimeter?

Stay in your vehicle.

You can do what they do.

If they get out, you get out.

Get ready. They can see our lane clearing.

If it's coming, it's coming now.

Move!

Wait, wait, wait!

Get outta the car.

Jesus Christ!

Don't move!

No, no, no, no!

What the f*** are we doing?

F***!

Lane's clear! The lane's clear!

Don't look at me!

Put your hands behind your head! Go!

Hands behind your head!

- All clear!

- I got this!

Go, go, go!

Move, move, move!

This is gonna be on the front page

of every newspaper in America.

No, it won't.

It won't even make the papers in El Paso.

Clear!

Got a little nutty, huh?

Nutty? Yeah, that was f***ing illegal.

You wanna start a war?

You're a f***ing spook!

And him! I mean, who the f*** is that?

Told you, you could stay here.

Jesus Christ. You just spray bullets at...

Yeah, sure, there's just

f***ing civilians everywhere.

I'm not a soldier! This is not what I do!

Whoa! Don't sell yourself short, all right?

The reason Reggie's home is

I know he wasn't ready for this.

But he better get ready real quick

because this is the future, Kate!

Jurez is what happens when they dig in.

This is it!

What am I doing here?

What you're doing here is

you're giving us the opportunity

to shake the tree and create chaos.

That's what this is!

In the meantime,

just sponge everything up you see.

Learn! That's why you're here.

Guillermo...

You're giving him a belly full of water,

you devil.

You didn't think we'd get you here, did you?

No hablo lngls.

No hablo lngls?

I love it when they no hablo Ingls.

You know, I brought an old buddy of yours.

I bet you hablo to him. Yeah.

I didn't know ghosts got thirsty.

I know someone kept him alive for us.

I doubt it was easy.

What's easy these days?

I'm sorry about

what happened on the return.

I control only what I can.

It's not your fault.

There's rumors of a tunnel.

Fausto's main road into Arizona.

If you're doing what I think you're doing,

that's the best place to cross.

If you can find it. But time is against you.

In three days,

nobody will be where they are today.

Shall we?

No, it's better if you don't.

Something happens in that room,

it's easier to say you didn't see anything.

Well, Alejandro, I think he remembers you.

I'm gonna step out.

Timmy.

What do you keep lookin' at me for?

No hablo lngls, remember?

No, no.

Can I have one of those?

Thank you.

- You like fireworks?

- Huh?

Wanna see something cool?

Come on.

Here we go.

Look right there.

Unbelievable.

That's what happens when

you chop the head off a chicken.

Yeah.

I can see.

Can you get 'em all in one place?

We just landed back in Phoenix.

I'm on the clock, I can't wait.

All right, look, contact Bob Fisks.

Have him hold 'em in the staging area.

How long does it take to get to Tucson?

From here, it's a little over two hours.

All right. We'll be there around 2:00. Yeah.

Are we going to Tucson?

Yeah, you gotta learn

how to sleep on a plane.

They let me on the base

when you need a ride, don't they?

You okay?

- She's fine.

- I didn't ask you.

And yet I answered.
