The first 200 lines.
Let's go.
To the right.
Approaching target now.
Stairwell, through the hall on your right.
Affirmative.
We're on the landing. Where now?
Room across the hall. Move.
Taking confirmation sample.
We're blown.
Then I would suggest you leave.
Let's go.
Move, move, move.
Take cover!
We're taking fire. Do you copy?
All done for the day, Mr. Walters?
All done.
- Well, you have a good one. - You too, James.
Thank you.
DNA pending, target eliminated.
The Lagos shipping lanes are cleared.
He'll see you now.
There's a lot of rumors floating around about Lagos.
What do we actually know?
Well, unfortunately, sir, not enough.
I mean, it's an ongoing process, but President Udoh
certainly had his fair share of enemies.
He made a name for himself when he promised
to nationalize his country's resources, but
he upset a whole lot of foreign interests.
A modern-day Mosaddegh, but with a less aggressive edge.
And these "death squads"?
Exaggerated, but real.
What about the prisoner?
They were able to capture one of the assassins.
Unfortunately, sir, they just sent through some photos
of his weaponry and his equipment.
It's ours.
You can confirm that?
Yes.
So...
- who do we think is behind it? - Ekon Ameh
is the obvious choice. He was his opponent
and is a known warlord,
but with the natural resources at play,
that part of the world is a game board of changing hands.
Best guess?
Honestly, sir, we couldn't say.
Meaning, you can't tell me if your own agency is responsible.
Meaning... it's an ongoing process.
Careful, Ryan,
you keep using lines like that, and you're ready for politics.
God forbid.
No offense.
None taken.
This is bad timing.
Your confirmation hearings begin in a week.
They're gonna be asking similar questions and they're gonna need
a hell of a lot better answer than that.
Like it or not,
anything inherited from former Director Miller is now on you,
and with everything going on,
the Senate Intelligence Committee is asking
- for a briefing. - Yes, sir.
Bottom line,
if you don't know which operations
your agency is running, they're gonna
- use that against you. - Understood.
Good luck, Jack.
Thank you, sir.
Hola, Emilio.
Dr. Ryan, would you please rise and raise
your right hand?
You swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
- so help you God? - I do.
Dr. Ryan, two days ago,
a strike team assassinated Nigerian President Udoh.
Can you assure this committee
that the CIA had no involvement in President Udoh's death?
No.
Can you elaborate on that?
Only to the extent that I have no answers.
We have no reason to believe the CIA was involved.
Well, former Director Miller warned this committee
on several occasions about the threat
that President Udoh presented.
Ideas that the acting director and I do not share.
And yet, you cannot prove
that we weren't involved.
Doesn't that concern you?
No, sir.
It terrifies me.
The CIA is a perfect microcosm of the American people,
which means
we are in danger of being splintered.
More easily controlled by outside interests,
both foreign and domestic.
Interests that intend to use the Agency
for their own advantage.
But I believe that the president has chosen
Acting Director Wright and myself for a reason.
We believe that the CIA cannot exist
unless it has no other interests
but those of the American people.
Do you have any evidence
of these supposed "outside interests"?
Sir, proof is why I'm here.
It is my job to eliminate any and all doubts
left behind by our former predecessor,
and I will not quit until I do it.
Well, you may not have the luxury of quitting.
Acting Deputy Director Ryan,
could you please inform the committee,
did you recently take part in a mission
within the borders of Russia?
Uh, Senator, I believe that intelligence is classified.
Well, everyone here has TS/SCI clearance, so...
Did you assemble a SOG team?
- Without proper authorization? - Senator...
And then order that team
to approach an active U.S. naval destroyer
that just happened to be at DEFCON 2?
And did you leave the fate of the world
in the hands of a Russian officer
when you were specifically advised against it?
Senator, respectfully, it is my goal to brief you
on all relevant intelligence, however...
I do not report to you.
- Yeah, but you see my point, though? - Not yet.
Uh, well, my point is that you might appear
to be our saving grace when you may in fact
be part of the problem.
I think what the senator is saying
is that change starts from the top.
- Yes, sir. - Well...
going rogue is the example that you set at the CIA,
why should we expect anything to change?
You shouldn't.
Not yet.
You did well, cousin.
Marquez is impressed.
Was it difficult?
- No. - Hmm.
So why the picture?
Those hands hold the keys.
- The keys to what? - To Asia.
To pure product.
To the Silver Lotus Triad.
You really think you can trust them?
Trust them? We will control them.
Do you have any idea what a direct line
to Southeast Asia will mean?
No more piecemeal operations,
no more product shortage,
and we'll be their only gateway to the U.S.
Why else would they invite me back to the marketplace so soon?
- What marketplace? - The marketplace.
They want to connect us to their mutual contractors.
Strengthen our shared network.
Know what that says to me?
Without us,
they are nothing.
So why would they choose Marquez?
Now that we eliminated the competition,
we are the last cartel standing.
That means we are the Federation.
- And what now? - Now?
Now, they come to us.
Hmm?
What is the timeline?
We're on schedule.
And the first shipment will be ready for delivery
when Marquez takes control?
You really don't understand it, do you?
What do I need to understand?
We're creating a network.
Invisible, untraceable.
An opportunity to do something unique.
The floodgates of America will open
and then the rest of the world.
The only thing it needs to do is make money.
The form it takes is irrelevant.
And that's why you'll never rise above your station.
You have no vision.
Careful.
I've survived this game far longer than you.
Hi.
Oh, thank God.
That's what I thought.
I figured you could use a little cheering up.
All you got.
Wow. Smells amazing.
I'm sure whoever cooked it
would love to hear that.
Hey, you know what?
Wow.
You want to talk about it?
No. I have this so I don't have to talk about it.
- You want me to? - Ooh, boy.
That is a loaded question.
