The Mother

Okay. Tape ID number 703.

Time of day, 6:14 a.m.

Interview with informant resumes.

Please restate the names of these two men.

Hector Álvarez. Adrian Lovell.

- You introduced them? - Yes.

You brokered an arms deal between them?

Yes.

And you were in a relationship with both of them?

Yes.

All right. Okay.

Help me get the food chain right.

Hector Álvarez was supplying Adrian Lovell with weapons.

What kind of weapons?

This place isn't secure.

Lady, stop telling us our jobs. We can take you in if you want.

- You don't know how bad this gets. - Then tell us.

Here.

Look, I get that this is dark,

so why don't we start with the weapons Álvarez is supplying?

Soviet PKM machine guns,

LAWS rocket launchers,

M18 claymore mines.

It's not the point.

Actually, it is.

They want you dead for what you know, right?

We need to talk about my deal.

I'm sick of the bridge tournament this bitch is playing.

If you need our protection--

You wouldn't know the first thing about protecting me.

Hey. You're safe here.

No, I'm not.

Álvarez is in Cuba, Lovell's under surveillance.

We've had a tail on him since the second he landed at O'Hare.

- Then he knows where we are. - Let me tell you--

You think you're following him? He's following you.

If you think you're gonna dictate how we conduct an interrogation,

- I don't know who you-- -

- -

Agents down, shooter outside.

Hawthorne? Carter? Do you copy?

Are we breached? Do you copy?

Come.

- Not the window, don't-- -

- No, let me get-- - Shh!

Am I gonna die?

I don't know.

I know you're in there.

Did you think you could hide from me?

You must have known I'd find you.

Adrian.

No.

It's a girl.

Is she okay?

She's perfect.

Gimme the room.

Special Agent Williams.

How are you?

- Where's my baby? - She's in the nursery.

She was very fortunate.

I wanna see her.

Well, what you want is no longer the deciding factor in what happens next.

You wasted 12 hours of FBI time trying to cut a deal for yourself

and seven agents were killed.

This conversation now takes place on our terms.

You can't keep her from me. I'm her mother.

What you are to that child right now is a death sentence.

Adrian Lovell and Hector Álvarez represent ruthless business interests.

If you leave here with that child, they will kill her.

Lovell already stabbed a pregnant belly.

What would he do to a live child?

Adrian Lovell is dead.

Lovell was extracted from the house fire before backup arrived.

His body was never accounted for.

Your daughter will be placed in witness security...

My daughter is not going into the foster system.

...so no one knows who her mother is.

You underestimate my ability to protect my child.

Yeah, well, I'm aware.

Back-to-back tours in Iraq and Afghanistan,

46 confirmed kills, accurate to 1,300 meters with an M24.

Tell me how that helps her.

You and I both know the only way you protect that child is to disappear.

And if I don't?

They'll find you. Both of you.

And just so you know,

the FBI has a terrible record of protecting the whereabouts of people

who caused the death of federal agents.

Termination of parental rights. Sign when you're ready.

- Let her in. - You sure?

She's good.

Hey.

They just told me.

You all right?

Three things.

One, you put her with good people.

I want her to have the most boring, stable life there is.

It's a girl?

Two, you let me know she's safe,

every birthday.

Three,

if there's trouble...

you let me know.

I owe you that.

Is she yours?

No.

Don't sneak up on somebody with PTS--

Well, now I'm really fucking triggered.

You'll need a job.

Some of the ranchers would pay good money for shooters like you.

Get rid of the wolves.

I don't wanna shoot wolves.

You found God or something?

No.

It's good. Thanks.

- If you want-- - I don't want anything, Jons.

Hey. We're all lost when we get out.

I got more than lost.

Whatever you've done, you're still here.

Still time to make it right.

Anybody sees us in town, you don't know me.

It's that bad?

Another birthday.

Let's see how big she got.

It's not her birthday.

She's in trouble?

We gonna say hello first?

Hello.

Civilization is built on the little things.

Tell me what's going on, Cruise.

ATF busted some of Hector Álvarez's men at a stash house in Nuevo Laredo.

Typical stuff. MK12s, you know, bump stocks, silencers.

But they also had this.

The six men are in custody in Mexico.

- We wanted you to ID them. -

You didn't bring me here for a lineup.

I keep my promises.

- I will protect her. - Can't advise you on that.

What's her name?

You can tell me her name now.

Her name is Zoe.

It's Greek for "life."

- Okay, that was close. Almost. - Almost!

Hey, there.

I know you.

- -

- Hey! - Come on!

Please, stop! Mom!

Zoe!

Vamos, vamos.

- - No!

- -

- You okay? - Go! Drive!

You knew this was coming. You should've had people.

I couldn't know how or when. I couldn't know what Hector was--

And you couldn't set up a standard perimeter?

Obviously that was beyond what I expected. That was Hector's top lieutenants.

Yes, Yanil Gonzalez, the one who grabbed her.

Tarantula.

There's a change of clothes next to you.

- - I made you three promises.

I kept them all and did what I could to keep her a secret.
