They've identified Craig Hanson as the man who murdered your wife.
When I heard, I wanted to kill him.
Stonebridge has requested reassignment to this unit.
- And you approved that? - We need the best.
Christy Bryant.
I should see that they're fully briefed on you.
- They know. - Everything?
What is it that you really want?
El Soldat is a man that could get us the triggers.
- The terrorist? - I thought you dealt with anyone.
The man that you know as Othmani is El Soldat's brother.
- Two trucks heading your way. - El Soldat's men.
- We got to move. - What about the triggers?
We got to go.

RPG!
Zero, you got a position on El Soldat's men?
They're still at the bus.
Bravo, as soon as they have the triggers,
they'll be headed your way.
How's he doing?
He's lost a lot of blood.
There's a French monk, helps out the locals.
One kilometer from here.
Maybe he has IV fluids.
I don't give a shit. We're not stopping.
Then he will die.
We keep him alive, we have something to bargain with.

This place is a fucking death trap.
Yeah, I know.
Get what we need to keep Othmani alive,

Scott.
Coming to you.
We have a wounded man,
and we could use some help, please.
Sir, we got a guy dying here,
so we'd really appreciate a little Christian charity.
Understand?
Thank you.
Come on.
Fix him up.
Thank you.
Give me that.
Here, here.
Make it quick, huh?
It's all clear out back.
If he's not sewn up properly,
nothing will help.
You got 5 minutes.
Money?
Are you fucking kidding me?
If you don't help,
he's going to die.
Here. How much do you want? Fuck.
It's going to take at least--
Yeah. You got 5 minutes, buddy.
Yeah.
Locals have a lot of trauma wounds?
Out here, men get very possessive with the goats.
Take your fucking time.
You seen a white bunny with a pocket watch recently?
I'm beginning to think you fell down the rabbit hole, bud.
I'm here.
You better be.
What's taking them so long?
Bravo, El Soldat and his men are on their way.
You've got a minute, two at most.
Fuck.
All right. Hey, people. Let's go.
We're moving out right now.
You see that white bunny, you let me know.
I will.

Sorry about your truck.
So, what happens now?
You ever heard of the Alamo?
How long have you known
that Othmani is El Soldat's brother?
Half-brother.
For sure? Not until I saw his face.
Would it have made any difference before now?
You're not a spook anymore.
You're the leader of this team.
We share what we know
because out there, knowledge isn't power.
It's what keeps us alive.

You think they want to surrender?
Mike. Hmm?
White flag out there.
Do you believe it?
Well, don't know.
There's only one way to find out.
I'll go.
I'm better with people.
Yeah.
Fuck off.
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
Zero, I have visual.
It's El Soldat in person.
I never got close.
Your people are excited, huh?
I don't get out much.
Anyone tell you you got a great profile?
Once.
Bravo One, make sure you have a clear shot.
Copy that.
When Bravo Two signals he's clear, and on my command,
take it.
We have your brother.
We only share a mother,
but she would be most disappointed
if I did not bring him home,
so give him back to me,
and you may leave.
You release the triggers, let us go,
and I'll let you have your family reunion.
I have made my offer.
Oh, fuck.
Bravo Two, you're marked.
About your 2 o'clock.
Zero, if I take this hit,
Bravo Two is dead.
Zero, Bravo Two is signaling
to take the shot anyway.
Major.
Bravo Two, disengage.
One soldier for El Soldat.
Yes, I thought about it, Major.
Are you sure you won't change your mind?
Because as you see, I have many men and RPGs.
Yeah, but you'll never use them
unless you want to barbecue your brother.
You have limited ammunition
and a perimeter you cannot defend.
And there is one thing else you should know:
My men--they are not as educated as I am.
Last month, they cut off the cocks
of an Algerian army patrol
and put them in their mouth just like this,
for fun.
We're done here.
Stupid as well as naive.
You must be an excellent soldier.
I hope you like my country,
because you will die here.
So that whole "shoot him anyway" stunt...
Huh?
If I'd have taken that shot,
you'd be dead, buddy.
Yeah, well, I knew you wouldn't take it.
Really?
Yeah, really.
Bullshit.
So, what did he have to say?
The usual bad-guy bollocks.
Yeah.
Oh, and he said something about
cutting off our cocks and putting them in our mouths.
Awesome.
Hmm.
I've been thinking of a new look.
Ha. Try shaving.
All right, so we move out of here as soon as it's dark.
That's a plan.
Good.
Thanks.
You got a spare one of those?
They told you I'm a terrorist.
I'm a soldier.
Huh.
This is a war,
and sooner or later, you're going to have to choose: Us or them.
What's to choose?
And you--why do you help these people?
It suits me.
They come here.
They take what they want, and they move on.
They don't give a shit about us.
That's a little harsh.
And now it's "us"?
At least they do move on, Arab.
Over a thousand years, and we're still waiting for you to leave.
We're leaving as soon as it gets dark.

Must be masking their heat signature.
Old Taliban trick.

Guess what I'm thinking right now.
A mule could guess.
I'm thinking...
that my last human contact
is potentially gonna be with some sweaty little bearded terrorist
who wants to kill me
just so he can cut off my cock

It might be safer there.
Maybe.
El Soldat's men could come at any time.
Yeah.
Well?
That's it.
♪
Quickly.
Yes, ma'am.
Ma'am?
You asked me to look into who was on the CIA flight
shot down over Mali.
There was a prisoner--
Faris Rafik, El Soldat's right-hand man.
But a closer friend
to the man that you know as Othmani.
They knew each other as children.
What is the exact nature
of your relationship with Othmani, Major?
Have you been speaking to Toby Oakes?
What did he tell you?
That you slept with Othmani
to get to El Soldat.
SIS got impatient.
They wanted him snatched, but he'd gone.
Did he tell you that I tipped him off?
Did you?
What--tip him off or fuck him?
Who you fuck in the line of duty is your business,
but if you warned him off
and he went on to bring down that plane over Mali,
then you're carrying baggage
that could impact your leadership of this unit,
and that... is my business.
Bravo,
is the prisoner conscious?
That's affirmative.
Put him on.
Oy. It's for you.
In English, for my friends.
I remember the taste of your skin
and the lies you whispered.
Perhaps they weren't all lies.
You are injured.
Life is hard on those of us who dare to dream.
The triggers were on the bus.
El Soldat has them.
You lost.
You made the call from the compound
initiating the bombing on the CIA flight.
Arrest me.
Your friend Faris Rafik was on that plane.
When there is no enemy within,
the enemy outside cannot hurt you.
He was a traitor?
I am tired now.
He's hiding something.
Where are you going?
If El Soldat's right-hand man
was talking to the Americans,
then I want to know what he said.
You did tip Othmani off in Tangiers, didn't you?
He guessed-- outplayed me.
It won't happen again.
Be advised: Helios is about to go blind.
We lose sat coverage at 0500.
If they mobilize for an attack, you let us know.
Hey.
Guess we're gonna be here for the party after all.
Look what I found-- fertilizer.
Huh.
There's a couple of cans of gas out the back,
so I figured we'd prep some shit,
lay it as soon as we find out
which way they're gonna come at us.
What about our friends with the night sight?
Yeah, I'm still working on that one.
You can't actually mean to fight them.
You must surrender.
Do what they say, exchange the brother for your freedom.
No way.
We're dead as soon as we hand him over.
You take sugar with your coffee, father?
What?
You got fresh coffee.
Yeah.
Grind it yourself?

You want to tell me what happened on the bus?
If you're gonna start that "Alice In Wonderland" bullshit,
I don't want to have this conversation, yeah?
I'm not.
I lost it.
Yeah.
You only came back to 20 because...
You thought it would be easier to track down Hanson, huh?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Don't blame you.
If I was you, I'd probably do the same thing.
But?
That shit leads down a dark and slippery path, Mike.
What's at the end of it-- that ain't pretty.
What we do, our jobs--
you let that shit get personal, and...
That's when you lose yourself.
Trust me.
I did.

Hmm.

El Soldat's men for years.
You motherfucker.
Get out.
Zero, can you have another look for that sniper for me?
Forget the heat signatures.
Looking for a void of some kind.
The rocks retain heat.
There should be some kind of displacement.
Bravo, I think I've found him.
Forwarding angle, elevation, and stellar triangulation.
Copy that.
Get me Othmani.
Bravo, request immediate contact with prisoner.
Oy. Here.
We have nothing more to say.
The game, it's over. You lost, remember?
Your friend isn't the traitor.
You killed the wrong person.
It's your brother who betrayed you.
This is what Rafik told the CIA?
El Soldat has been buying up Libyan arms
and selling them to whoever's paying.
He never gave a shit about you or your cause.
For him it's only ever been about money and power.
I have proof-- CIA recordings of the initial interview.
Faked.
He called you that as a kid, didn't he?
You told me it was because
you believed in right and wrong.
Are you?
You're just blinded by the love for your older brother.
Take cover.
You've spent your whole life doing whatever he asked,
one way or another, haven't you?
What would you know?
Where I'm coming from, family is everything.
Blood binds us.
Because when your brother told you to bring the triggers,
you came running like a faithful dog.
He will use them in God's name.
You don't believe that, really.
Not anymore.
Money is all the triggers are to El Soldat,
the next deal,
and to safeguard that deal,
he needed somebody to kill his right-hand man
and take down that plane, no questions asked.
Who else but the little fool?
You murdered your best friend
so El Soldat could have his triggers so the deal--
There will be no deal,
because he doesn't have them.
You put them on the bus in Niamey.
In the Khafir's bag.
What the fuck?
It's not possible.
Holy shit.
I did not see that one coming.
Ha! Must have nearly choked
