Alpha Team in position.

One hostile at the
back door, over.

Bravo Set - one single
guard at the front entrance.

Delta Set - one guarding the
back door armed with a long gun.

No night vision. Charlie
Set - roof is clear.

Echo confirming one guarding the
front entrance. Roof is clear.

Delta we move on your mark.
Call the Ball. Roger.

Echo, you have the sentry guarding the front
door, I will take the one guarding the back.

Charlie, continue overwatch
in case of any response.

Confirm when ready. Set. Set.

On my
mark..three... two...



Target down. All clear.

Alpha, Bravo, you are clear to move.
Move.

We have a squirter Target down.

Barnes!

Alpha team clear.
Warehouse clear.

Clear. Clear. All clear. Barnes!

How is she? She's a little
dazed, but otherwise okay.

I think she might be drugged too.
The DEA can come in now, it's clear.

Let's see what these
bastards have been up to.

Check that box.

What the hell?

Something's not right here.

Is it just me, or does that wall
look a little out of place here?

It's definitely hollow.



What the hell?

Alpha, there's a girl in here walking
toward us. Copy, we found some in here too

checking it out. Hon?

Are you okay?

BOMB!

Hi.

Excuse me, um... I...

I'm here for the interview...

I didn't know this
company was a startup.

Not that it
matters... I... love... a challenge.

Please have a seat
and put these on.

Ah ha ha... so cool...

Is that what your company does?
Because... if...

so, this is my peanut
butter and jam.

I'm definitely on board.
Uh, and who is that dude.

He is a man on a mission

that must be the boss.
Good morning Mr Martin.

I find it more convenient
to conduct my meetings

this way. This won't take
much of your time. Or mine.

Okay... I completely
understand... mister...

Smith... you may call me Mr Smith.
Okay, Mr... uh... Smith.

You're the one
conducting the interview?

Quite frankly, this is not so much
of an interview as it is an offer.

I get the job? Your brother is under investigation
by the securities and exchange commission.

Yeah... you're with
the SEC... right?

Yeah, okay then... this interview is
over until I can get my attorney.

No, Mr Martin... I
am not with the SEC.

May I continue? That securities and
exchange commission will find your brother

guilty, of that there is no doubt.
He has been dealing with

some extremely shady people.
As a result, your brother

and his family are in for
some very difficult times...

in the near and distant future. How did you...
This is where my offer to you comes in.

Mr Martin, you possess

a certain skill set. Skills
of which my organization

is in need. You mean
my programming...

Perhaps I should have said skills
possessed by your alter ego... Mimir.

Mim... mi... no... no... Interesting
choice for a hackers pseudonym...

Mimir... the Norse God of Wisdom.

I do hope you possess
the wisdom of Mimir.

As I said... you possess certain
skills that my organisation

is in need of. If you accept
my offer, we will ensure that

your brother's investigation with the
SEC will be concluded in his favor.

I thought you said you
weren't with the SEC I'm not.

I'm simply to effect the
influence of a great many things.

Your brother's
investigation is one of them.

Oh... kay... and...

if I reject your offer?
As I said,

your brother and his family will
be in for a very..hard... time...

I get the bargain... I, uh...

I become your
hacker slave and...

you fix my brother and his

family's problems. No, in fact, Mr
Martin, we will only require your services

for this one assignment. After
that you may go back to your life

hacking away, as normal,
except you will have

a very large stipend as
compensation for your services.

Ummm.

How many laws would I have to break? Considering
the number of laws you've already broken,

I wouldn't think that would
be a consideration for you.

But, you will be doing a
service foryour country.

Ah ha... okay... yeah... you're
with the government.

No, I am not with the government... on
the contrary we provide

extra-governmental oversight... preferring
to work outside the contraints

of the political agendas of most countries...
opting to work for our own country

and it's citizens.

You needn't make a decision immediately. I'll give you the rest
of the day to think about my office. Tomorrow at precisely

noon, you will receive a text.
We will expect your answer then.

And do keep in mind, Mr Martin, we
will not make this offer a second time.

Good day.

He'll work... he's a much better
programmer than even he realizes.

His hacking skills
are off the charts.

There will be some growing
pains... for all of them.

But in the end I'm positive he'll mesh
well for... whatever you have in mind.

CLICK

No... no... I
completely understand.

Thank you for everything
you're doing for my father.

According to this note,
you're the last one.

Seven names... seven people.

So... are you the one who's going to tell us what the hell
we're going here? None of these idiots know anything.

All I know is...

What I was told
during my interview...

I'm just here for my hacking skills.

Well, well... the
mysterious "Mr Smith".

Again...

My
Kind of meeting, right to the point>

Well, you've certainly pulled
together quite an interesting group.

Military... military.
Maybe police...

Military... military...

I'm going to guess you're
our token geek... And you...

No clue... but you have a
very seedy look to you.

We're all waiting to hear with baited
breath.

Who's
rumored to be the next Republican

candidate for President of
the United States.

She's very active in the women's
right movement in the Middle East.

She's been using her father's connections
to work with the Afghan government

to build schools and provide education
for young Afghan girls. And it hasn't made

her very propular with some very
nasty people from what I hear.

You seem to know a lot about her.
The middle east is my specialty...

I'm guessing that's why I'm here...

How many dead?

How did they
manage to keep that one quiet?

Who claimed responsibility?

Others?

How is
someone "accidentally" rescued?

Because, we didn't
know they were there.

We were working with the
DEA... doing what we could

to interrupt the flow of drugs coming
out of Afghanistan. We had a lead

on a large of stash of high grade opiates supposedly being
stored in a warehouse... but instead of finding drugs

we found five women chained to a wall.
Who is "we"?

Captain Dale Swanson...

currently assigned to first special
forces, operational detachment delta.

This is a military operation? I
guess should have figured... with...

looks of you guys... but I thought you said we weren't
going to be working with the government... I'm no leave...

After the ...incident...

at the warehouse, I was told
to take all the time I needed.

Finding give women chained to a
wall effected you that much... No...

It was the suicide bomber that took out half
of my team and the entire DEA contingent.

Three days into my leave,
I was contacted by Mr Smith...

I have a feeling you all know the
rest of the story.

(you are to search for an rescue Miss Thurman,
and any other young ladies who might.

TEXT TONES

Yeah... wait... uh...

Do you want me to use my own computer
equipment or is there something

that you'd like me to use?

I guess he meant that literally.

Okay... first thing I'd like to
do is figure out who we are...

what we can do... what
we can't do...

I'm not used to working with a team I don't
know. That's as good a place to start as any.

I'm Julian... but only my
mother calls me Julian...

Everyone who knows
me calls me Jules...

and I've a feeling before this is
over we'll know each other quite well.

You were pretty
spot on... Miss...

Ankita. Ankita...

A lot of people refer to
my profession as "seedy"

I tend to move around in the
dark underbelly of society

I'm in the business of finding and
procuring anything my customer needs

by any means... whether
they be legal

or illicit... Black marketeer... I can
definitely see the benefits of you on our team.

My specialty includes profiling

and deprogramming. I'm guessing I'm here
in case Miss Thurman needs deprogramming

after the ordeal. FBI?

At one point... let's
leave it at that.

Well, what do you think?

I think you've put together
a good group of individuals.

Let's see if they can operate as a team.
You know the history some of them have.

We have Lilah to thank for bringing
them here. Another good choice.

Now we have to see if Captain Swanson
can bring them together as a team.

There's the question mark.

The incident in Ankara hit him pretty hard.
Hopefully it doesn't effect his leadership

of this team. We can't afford
for him to be overly cautious.

My real concern is Larry.

We've created a pack of Alpha Wolves
and tossed a sheep in their midst.

I just hope he doesn't get eaten
alive before this is all over.

Time will tell.

Folami... I'm an engineer.

But I cut my teeth in
the Legion Etrangere.

The French Foreign Legion.

Koa... Royal Thai Army... Special
Warfare Division.

But you're not Thai... Laotian?
Yes...

My father worked with the American
CIA during the Vietnamese War.

When the American forces left the country, they left
him. So he fled, taking all of us to Thailand with him.

I'm going to guess
"Ivan" over here

is also Spec
Ops... probably Spetznaz

Alexi... yes... before...

when I was young and stupid.

Now I work as chief of security for
a Russian businessman in Moscow.

So you're an enforcer
for the Russian Mafia.

Da... I knew you looked
familiar... I've done some work

for your boss on occasion.

I think my main reason for being here is to
soften the testosterone level of the group.

No... that's probably me.

My specialty is the middle eastern affairs
with a focus on fundamentalist terrorism.

Formerly with the RAW, now I work in
the private sector. So you're a spook!

Watch out... she'll
take your teeth.

And... I'm your IT guy.

IT guy... well specs... it's
time to earn your money.

That goes for all of you... enough chit
chat... let's find this girl for the boss.

If you so much as move.

You'll end up with a Russian
Bowtie.

Anyone curious enough to know
who he is, or should I just-

Whoa...

Let's not get crazy.

Now I AM curious. I'm just delivering
the supplies you requested.

You don't look much
like a delivery boy.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Start talking. I'm Clark...

your handler... your contact... it's
my number that's on your phone.

Why the hell you sneaking around
in the middle of the night?

This lot needs
their beauty sleep.

This isn't a nine-to-five... things
get done when they need to get done.

Even if it does interfere
with your beauty rest.

So, now that you're all awake you can
help me bring in the rest of the stuff.

I got some extra
special toys for you.

I bet computer.

You need all of this?
Geek!

For what it's worth,
thanks for all the gear.

So what's inside this thing anyway. That case
you're carrying has the latest intelligence dump

for the area. It'll give you a
good starting point in your search.

We managed to narrow it down to just a few groups who might be
responsible. And I'll be able to contact you any time we need something.

Using the number Smith sent us, correct?
You'll be able to contact me any time you want

just by looking over and talking to me. I'll be with you
permanently... for the rest of the mission. Excuse me?

I was under the impression I was going to have
full control of the team, not have someone staring

over my shoulder
micromanaging the whole time.

I'm simply a liaison. A resource for you and the rest of
the team. I'll be operating as a member of your team.

You're in command. No need to
worry about me getting in the way.

If nothing else, we can still
use him to keep Koa in line.

Any more surprises?
That is all Captain.

Then you're dismissed.

This is some next generation

shhhhh-stuff

I had no idea this
gear even existed.

The trade mags say
this is at least ten

years away.

We... are... IN.

Haha... terrorist network hacked

bucket list checked!

You don't think this is going to put
me on some terrorist hit list do you?

That would suck...

So what's your take on Clark?

He doesn't appear to be just
another corporate bean-counter type.

There's more to that book than just the
cover... a lot more than he's telling us.

Koa here is a force to be reckoned with and
Cark handled him as if he was a school boy.

He caught me offguard.

Amateur.

My point exactly. I'd
love to hear his story.

But I doubt we'll ever get it.

They're doing well together so far.

If the death of his team is weighing
on him, he isn't letting it show.

And if he resists?

Yes sir.

There... what is that?

Uh...

Huh...

It seems to be...

Detailed files of every
girl they've kidnapped.

Down to daily schedules... this
one... right there.

We have Mary Templeton...

She's a vegetarian... she goes
to the local farmers market

every Saturday morning... wait...

How many girls

did they saw had
been kidnapped... 27?

Swanson! Yeah...

OH, yeah... I've-i've discovered
a local server that the.

Islamic State is using and I was
able to hack into it and found-

What am I looking at? It appears to
be detailed files of thirty young

women... 27 of whom have
already been kidnapped.

You're telling me we have a list of women
they're still planning to kidnap. Possibly.

Any clue on a timeline
or who's next even?

Uh... Look... I thin
we've hit a lucky break.

Someone's put out a call for bids... someone wants
to place an order for a large quantity of C-4.

Okay... follow up on that. Print out that
list for me and dig deeper into the server.

The rest of you guys over here... we
got a plan to work out... Pronto.

How the hell did Smith

get ahold of a Predator?

Yeah... probably best we not
know how he does what he does.

Out... out of the car!

Out... out of the car!

Out or we will kill
you where you sit and

leave your body for the crows.

(Electrical crackling)

They're finally waking up.

Glad to have you both join us again.
We're looking for some answers.

Maybe you can help us and
I don't have a lot of time.

Looking for this girl. Hey!
Looking for this girl!

I need you to tell me
everything you know.

Names... locations... tactical
data...

I don't think you appreciate
the gravity of this situation.

Either you give me
the answers I need

and prove yourself useful or I'm going to put a bullet
in your head and dump your body over the bridge!!

Does he speak English?
You won't do that.

You are American military and
you have to follow the rules.

Well, I'm not...

Hey...

I said I'D put a bullet in him.

Now...

are you going to be more useful?

Or am I going to have see if
your buddies have more to say?

The ones who are supposed to
be capturing the other girls?

Yeah... that's good...

Wait... did he just...

This is definitely
quite a large order.

In addition to the large quantity of
C-4 they're looking for burner phones

and tactical
vests... detonators...

someone's going to be making
a lot of bomb vests...

from the numbers I'd
say... fifty or sixty of them.

Well, it's not like they don't have
volunteers for a trip to paradise

and their 72 virgins.

Well, I placed a bid for
everything on the list.

Purposely lowballed so I should
easily win the bid.

See... that didn't take long.

They've already accepted my
bid... given us delivery instructions.

Let me see that.

See what I can do to, uh

to track that email down.

Probably not likely they've used
anything we can track but you never know.

Alright... uh...

Uh, let me know if you

uh... get anything else... uh... the
more information I get

the better. Yeah... sure.

It appears the car that left

as we were arriving is the only one.
Nothing back here.

No lights showing except the
one next to the back door.

Deploying laser.

Let's see if someone
comes out to check it.

Three girls on the floor
near the bed. No bogies in sight.

Too easy.

Blow the door.

Get off!

Stop! Get off!

Miss Thurman!
Rankin..in here... NOW!

Miss Thurman, we're
here to help you.

There really was
no other choice.

What would we do with
them all afterward?

We extracted the information we needed?
I don't know... turn them in?

To who?? The local police?
The FBI? The military?

How would we explain it to them?

Exactly... you can't just show
up at the local police precinct

and say, "Hi, I'm with a secret non-governmental
agency who's tracking terrorists..."

"we killed a few of them, but
here's the ones we didn't."

Yeah... I know... I get it...

Doesn't make it any easier
though... I've never seen a dead body...

I've never even been to a funeral, much
less watched someone killed in cold blood.

Believe me, that was
not in cold blood.

The blood on those terrorists
hands was still warm...

and imagine how many others
they were planning to murder.

So why do you think
they took these girls.

We know the terrorists are using every
method they can do fund their activities.

We know that they are
trafficking drugs.

Human trafficking is just
another revenue source.

Yeah, but why these
girls specifically.

Imagine the value of the daughter of a wealthy
influential American on the Black Market.

The bigger, more important her father
or mother is, the greater her value.

Huh... well they do say

that Madeline's father may well
become the next President... so...

Imagine what she's worth...

They're gonna be pissed
that they lost her...

Well, this was quite a
surprise, Mr President.

If I had known you were
coming to dinner tonight

I'd have had something a little more
substantial than pizza planned...

Are you kidding? Do you know how
often Margaret lets me have pizza?

This is a treat.
I'm glad to hear it.

So, what brings you
to our humble abode

this evening, Mr President?

Well, I'm actually here to ask you a favor
on behalf of the Republican Party. Oh?

Don't act like this
is a surprise do you.

You know that your name is being bantered around
as the party's top choice to take my place

next year when I leave. We need
someone who is going to continue

to be hard on terrorism... and
Madeline's kidnapping

is still on everyone's mind.

The American people are
angry... they want revenge.

And they believe that you're the man to
make that happen. Thank you Mr President.

Everything okay hun? Yeah...

Friend drama.
Ah... friend drama...

Well, when you got
girls, you got drama.

I have three of them
and it's nonstop drama.

Yes.

Allahu akbar.

Huh... Uh... Ankita?

Come here a sec...

Swanson said he, uh..

His team was killed in
a drug raid gone bad...

Yes, they raided a warehouse looking for drugs used
by a terrorist organization to fund their activities.

They didn't find any drugs and one
of the terrorists managed to set a

bomb vest off,
killing half his team.

I think it was a set up.
What do you mean?

I managed to utilize
the information

that Jules gave me to dig
deeper into the terrorist

network. I found
some CCTV footage

of the warehouse where
his team was killed.

Alright... found this...

This where the team is moving

into the warehouse... and...

right here...

you can tell
everything is over...

they're standing down... and... I
think these are the

DEA guys coming into
the warehouse...

Then... this guy...

He notices something wonky.

Yes... and the other's too... they've
all gone tactical again.

Is there audio... can you
hear what they're saying?

No, just video... but watch.

This is right before the
suicide bomber set off the vest.

Why did they relax if there's an unknown approaching
them? I don't know... it's dark in there...

you can't see much... but...

right... here... right
before the best goes off.

We get a clear look at her.
Sally Ranson...

Yep... one of the missing
girls we're looking for.

Swanson... I'll go
over the details

in how we know later but right now you just
need to go with what I'm going to tell you.

The terrorists aren't just
kidnapping the girls..

They're brainwashing them and turning
them into suicide bombers... exactly.

And each time we rescue
one and bring them home

we're bringing another potential
suicide bomber back into the country.

You see... we all think that based
on the publicity... What they hell??

Bomb!! Don't shoot... that's
my daughter...

Madeline... what
the hell is this?

The enemies of God
must be struck down

wherever they are. By killing
the leader of the Crusaders, I am

the hammer that strikes
a blow for all Islam.

Good call on hacking into the cell
system and deactivating the phone.

On her vest. Do you
think I got it in time?

If you hadn't, it would
already be on the news.

Oh, man...

Rankin's with her.

He's good... she's in good hands.

He'll get her stable and then give you
a list of people you can call who can

continue her deprogramming. Seems they
did a really good job on her mind.

Are you people going to tell me who
you are? I'm afraid not, Mr Thurman.

Well I guess I will have
to win the Presidency

in order to find that out, huh?

I'm afraid even
that wouldn't help.

Okay... I got your kung
fu right here... uh...

We... Oh... Crap!!

Lost him...

How close were you? Uh...

No telling... could have
been the next tower...

There could have been
a thousand more...

zero way of telling. Any thoughts
of where the call originated?

Yeah... next door... or...

the moon... or
anywhere in between...

Whoever did this...

really good...

She's finally dozed off... there's a
Secret Service agent outside her door

but I think she's down for the count. She's going
to need a lot of help to get through this.

For now, I think rest is the best
prescription... for both of you.

I think that's our cue...

Mr Thurman... we'll
see ourself out.

Thank you gentlemen... thank
you very much.

Police say they don't have a motive
yet and the investigation continues.

The race for the White
House takes a turn today

with Langston Thurman throwing
his proverbial hat into the ring.

The Republican candidate is now on the ticket
in the Presidential race for this November.

Thurman made the announcement this
afternoon at a news conference

attended by supporters and his
family... his daughter Madeline at his side

as he spoke to the crowd of
hundreds of people. Thurman says he

vows to keep his campaign
"clean but aggressive".

He didn't expand on
what he means by that

and no comments from Democrats regarding
their new challenger. Still ahead tonight.
