The Brave

Come in.

Thank you.

Sorry for your loss, ma'am.

Deputy director?

What is it, Noah?

Chatter about an impending attack

on the West Africa peace talks in Nigeria.

How much chatter?

Enough I'm knocking on your door.

I ran a threat assessment

based on the talk we're hearing.

This is the most likely target.

US Ambassador Charles Webb.

He's a rising star in the US Foreign Service

and instrumental in brokering

the fragile ceasefire

between the Nigerian government

and its various rebel groups.

Peace talks conclude in 72 hours.

If there's gonna be an attack, it will be in that window.

And Dalton and his team to be on the ground

in Lagos before the talks resume in the morning.

- Sounds good. - Let's make that happen.

Whoo.

Okay, yes, princess.

Yes, okay, but it's after your bedtime.

Kiss Mommy good night for me.

You know what it feels like to have three daughters?

I have no idea.

It feels like being a cash register.

No, seriously. Every time they call the phone,

every time they walk through the door,

I gotta prepare myself.

"Daddy, can we talk?" Ka-ching.

"Daddy, Stacey's got a new cell phone!"

Ka-ching. "Daddy, my jeans aren't cool.

They don't fit." Ka-ching. Ka-ching.

Well, maybe if you weren't such a pushover, Preach,

it wouldn't be an issue.

Oh, so you think you'd be different?

Let's see you have a little girl and how you do

against those doe eyes staring up at you.

You would fold like laundry.

You make a hell of an argument

for remaining single, that's for sure.

- How about you, Jaz? - You think of doing

- the family thing? - If I can get it in writing

that it won't be anything like mine.

See?

I'm not alone.

Alone is what both of

your sorry asses is gonna be.

Deputy director Campbell.

Dalton. Gear up.

We need you in Nigeria.

We have evidence of an impending attack

on US interests.

The prime target is US Ambassador Charles Webb.

Webb has been instrumental in negotiating

a fragile peace in the region.

Anything happens to Webb,

those talks will collapse.

You and your team will be running

enhanced protection on Webb

until the talks are concluded.

All right, Ambassador.

So you know the drill.

Once we get there, my team and I, we'll do a sweep

and we'll take you inside.

You think there's anything to the rumors?

About an attack?

Well, we got you well-protected, sir.

Reassuring and yet evasive.

You could be a diplomat.

No thank you, sir.

I'll leave that to the pros.

Screen left.

Turn right.

You're tough.

But you're a girl.

Maybe I'm tough because I'm a girl.

I don't think she's read it yet.

It's just sitting there on her desk.

I had to write one of those letters once.

To think my parents almost received it.

What do you even say in something like that?

Simple things.

How much you love them.

What a gift your life was.

Uh, Mr. Ambassador, we gotta get going.

It's my wife checking on me.

If I don't answer it,

you're gonna have to protect me from her.

Hi, honey.

Do you think the girls would be mad

if I brought them the same dress,

but in two different colors?

They're 13-year-old twins.

I think they'll be mad, no matter what we do.

- Sir, we really gotta go. - Okay?

That would be funny if it weren't true

and if they weren't growing up so fast.

Honey. I'm fine.

Talks are going great.

Making progress.

I'm well-protected.

See you tonight, okay?

See you tonight.

I love you.

Guess intel got the attack right but the target wrong.

We got an IED detonation in the direction of the mall.

My wife is in that mall!

All right, Jaz and McG are buttoning up

the ambassador back at the consulate,

but his wife's a high-value target.

Last report we got, she's still inside the mall.

Five mikes.

What do we know?

An attacker sent a car bomb to the east entrance

of the Palm Grove shopping mall.

Dear God.

We're looking at multiple civilian casualties.

Witnesses on the ground report

seeing armed men inside firing on civilians.

How many armed men?

- That's unclear. - Can we get eyes inside?

Mall security is closed-circuit.

It'll take a few minutes to hack in.

Dalton's gonna be there in a few minutes.

It would be nice to give him something to go on.

NRO has a satellite with thermal imaging

in orbit over the Sudan.

It'd give us a bird's-eye view of what's going on inside.

Have them re-task it.

If they push back, tell them to send me the bill.

On it.

All right, I think

we've got an ID on our attackers.

MEND just uploaded that.

They're on our watch list of radical groups

in the region.

We have taken over the American-owned

Palm Grove shopping center.

We demand the release of our general,

David Ogu,

from prison immediately.

We will speak only

to General Ogu directly.

Ogu's MEND's leader.

So this isn't about the peace talks.

No, or the ambassador.

It's just about how many innocent people are in there.

We will kill one hostage

for every other voice we hear.

Do not test us. We are prepared to die.

We are prepared to take

everyone with us.

This is bad.

Ogu is a war criminal.

The Nigerians are never gonna release him.

Ogu is dead.

He died in custody two days ago.

We have got armed militants

demanding the release of a dead man.

What's the playbook for that?

There is none.

Car bomb to block the main entrance.

Smart.

Oh my god! Oh my god!

Cover! Contact!

Sniper on overwatch.

Even smarter.

All right. Preach, you're with me.

Copy.

Amir...

I'm gonna need you to take out that sniper.

Top?

You're my invisible man.

Yeah, I'm inconspicuous.

In a crowd, not alone on a rooftop.

It's gonna be great.

All right. Get after him.

Ready? Cover!

Command, we're currently three on sight.

Things are pretty chaotic.

I got a line to the west entrance.

I think we can get inside.

Understood. Stand by.

We're getting IDs on the hostiles.

Talk to me.

Emmanuel Ade, AKA "The Leopard."

This guy's trained.

He spent five years in the Nigerian special forces

before he turned militant.

Suspected to be behind the attacks

on the West African gas pipeline.

Killed 27 workers.

This guy's a true believer, boss.

Hannah.

What's the ETA on the Nigerians' response?
