The Brave

[RECORDING OF CHILD SINGING "RING AROUND THE ROSIE"]

Siete. Dos. Cinco.

Nueve. Dos.

Ocho. Seis.

Uno. Dos.

Uno. Seis.

Ocho.

Uno. Tres.

Message was sent at 0247 hours this morning.

Emitted from a numbers station

outside Caborca, Mexico.

A numbers station?

I thought those died with the Cold War.

Most of them did.

But sometimes, old tech is the safest way

to communicate,

since no one pays attention to it.

Man who sent the message is Agent Hugo Vargez,

Mexican intelligence.

And his message is that Ranier Boothe

is coming to Mexico for two days.

That's right.

Ranier Boothe.

Currently topping everyone's list

for the world's most elusive arms dealer.

Every one of your agencies knows him.

Every one of you

has opened files related to him,

whether that be for

supplying explosives used

in the Berlin bombing

or the London Tube attack.

He's sold to ISIS,

Al Qaeda, Hamas, and he has a lot of

high-powered people in his pocket,

which is why we've never been able to get close to him.

Until now.

Obviously, we have two options.

Capture him, or kill him.

I'd like to know from each of you

which one you'd choose.

Kill him.

Capture him. Get him to talk.

Capture.

I say kill this son of a bitch.

I say neither.

Patricia, with all due respect,

- we aren't here to debate. - If we capture Boothe,

all of the people that he's been working with

are just going to switch up their operations.

If we kill him, it's the same result.

We get to pull him off the board,

but the game remains unchanged.

What do you propose we do?

I want to bug him.

Kill the spider, all you get is a spider.

Put a listening device on him, you get the whole web.

I suppose you have a plan?

They go for it?

Call Dalton. Tell him he's going to Mexico.

Agent Vargez.

Commander Dalton. Pleasure.

Should be plenty of room.

Another vehicle's waiting at the safe house.

- I've arranged... - Actually, we arranged

our own accommodations.

Fact, if you don't mind,

put this on for us.

Just till we get to know each other a little better.

Protocol.

A blindfold.

I've worked with some careful types before,

but you all take it to another level.

Yes, we do.

You ever been to this part of the world before?

Mexico? No.

This isn't Mexico, my friend.

It's Sonora. A narco state.

Put a foot out of place here, you die.

- - Lovely.

All right, DIA. How do you read?

Like you're in the next room.

Top, we're up.

So...

Ranier Boothe. When's he land?

You Americans usually like to dance a little first.

I'm sure your friends can tell you specifics.

All I know is he's flying out of Zurich.

Tail number Hotel Bravo eight zero eight Golf.

Currently flying over the Gulf of Mexico.

ETA, maybe four hours, give or take.

Okay, you know where he's staying?

The cartel owns many homes in the hills.

Boothe has his pick, as a part of their arrangement.

They give him nice sheets, he sells them cheap guns.

Top.

So he flies halfway around the world for one buyer?

No, he conducts a lot of his business

in Sonora. It's safe here.

Bad guys won.

I see you got... you got two meetings

listed here for him in your notes.

Those are the only two I know details on.

The first is tonight with a man named Lazkani.

And the second is tomorrow afternoon

with Martin Urzua.

Martin Urzua. Looks like he's management

in the Sonora cartel.

Urzua's house is a hard target,

so it's best to hit Boothe

at the Lazkani meeting tonight.

I have schematics of the hotel where Lazkani is staying.

There's only one way in or out.

Well, you're intel's good.

It's real good.

You've done your homework, done all the legwork,

your reasoning's sound.

There's just one thing that's bothering me.

All of your intel

comes from one source,

from Boothe's mistress.

- Yes. - Yeah.

So why don't you tell me about her?

Her name is Sofia.

She grew up in a small village near where I'm from.

Like many beautiful girls,

she got caught up in the life,

and the life led her to Boothe.

But I sensed there was decency in her,

so I worked her.

How long?

Two years.

A few months ago, I convinced her to turn.

Promised her I'd keep her safe.

There's a promise you should never make.

I appreciate you and your team

are cautious people. So am I.

Sofia's genuine.

The information is good.

Okay.

All right, so it seems like the hotel tonight's our window.

Show us what you got.

Now that I passed your test,

maybe you explain how you expect to plant a bug

on a man as careful as Ranier Boothe.

You ever seen his cell phone?

An Avento Diamond.

Has voice communication encryption.

Would cost $100,000, American.

Practically one of a kind.

Practically.

Hey, Hannah, when you were under,

did you work for the Sonora cartel?

Sometimes.

Did you ever meet this Urzua guy?

Yeah.

Look, uh, I don't want to pry,

but it's pretty obvious that you're upset,

and if this mission cuts too close to home...

Look. Noah?

I'm fine. Okay?

And frankly, I don't appreciate you implying

I can't do my job.

No, that wasn't what I was doing, I wasn't saying...

That's exactly what you were doing.

All right, so how much security

does Boothe travel with?

About three guards.

A man named Keller,

always at his side.

The others roam

in the background.

Yeah, looks like Lazkani's

got his own details,

so it's going to be crowded.

Preach? Any thoughts?

Any good pickpocket worth his weight

knows that the key to making any swap

is the distraction.

Amir.

You deal with your hands, right?

What is it, Noah?

Uh, sorry to bother you, boss.

It's about Hannah. Um...

About what happened to her in Mexico, I've heard rumors...
