Max, I came here to
talk to you alone.

You were supposed to
deliver a package to my boss

two days ago.

He's done waiting.

You've got 24 hours.

And if you don't
deliver in 24 hours,

you know what's gonna happen.

Man, that guy really
needs to get laid, huh?

It only gets better
from here on in.

And your loyalty will
be rewarded.

You know we never let
you down, right?



But we have been taking
a lot of risk lately.

A lot of unnecessary risks.

And I'm not complaining.

I'm just saying that...

What they're
trying to say is...

That we're locked and
loaded and ready for whatever.

Guys, it's Friday,

let's have a drink.

I want you to go out

and I want you to burn
some steam off

because I want you to be
ready for the main event.

We all need it.

You still haven't told us
the plan for this week boss.

What plan?



Oh yeah, the plan.

I'll lay it out in time.

Now is not the time for work.

Business is great.

Life is good.

You know what they say,

All work and no play
makes Jack an asshole.

That's why I insist you guys
go out and enjoy yourselves.

I'm all for that boss.

I just wanna be ready when the
time comes to have your back

and the sooner I know what
I need to know,

the better I can do my job.

Did I say something wrong?

No, not at all.

I just had a moment of clarity.

You see, you're the most
recent addition

to my security team

so I had a background
check on you

and guess what?

You came out clean.

Spy clean.

And then yesterday,

a colleague of mine told
me that she knew you

by Kniffen dang

Imagine my surprise when
I saw a picture

of you together in Turkey.

I still didn't believe it,

until now.

Salam Aleikum my friend.

Aleikum Salam.

Who the hell was that guy?

Oh him?

A spy.

Enemy brought us over here

to make sure this
transaction won't happen.

Then they know you've
been feeding me intel.

Yeah, it means I'm suspected.

If I was made, I would be dead.

Still, what's gonna happen
when this guy doesn't show up?

I'm not worried.

I shot him with the
weapon you gave me.

They track it back to us troops.

Exactly.

That means they're gonna know

you've been feeding me intel.

Look, I can take
care of myself.

I feel like you're not
understanding me.

You're burned.

We gotta get you out of here.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Not possible my friend.

Not possible, okay?

I cannot leave.

Why?

That's why.

She's beautiful.

Who is she?

She's my wife.

We met in secret

so that way my enemies
won't know my weakness.

Today I found that she
was pregnant.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Now you see why I can't leave

and why the money you
pay me very much, I need.

I almost forgot.

I didn't.

So what do you got for me?

Yes, yes.

Business, business, business.

Three groups of 30 coming down
to US compound post tonight.

Very heavy firepower

but they travel light.

So no tanks or
anything like that.

We need to fortify defenses.

Not necessarily.

Let's just say bring 200 troops

to the South by midnight.

You should kill them easily.

Much obliged.

Oh, and thanks for
saving my life again.

No problem.

You'd do the same for me, no?

Yeah.

I hope so.

Yes.

Good.

Because I've hearing rumors

that I've not been
liking too much.

What kind of rumors?

Your President is meeting

with the Turkish
President tonight.

Probably some
political bullshit.

No.

Significance, friend,
significance.

The Kurds I've been working

with the US forces for years.

Thousands have died already.

Now, I'm not worried
about myself too much.

I know my faith, Allah.

I know I've been here.

I know where I'm going to

but if that happens

you please tell me if
you hear anything

of any withdrawal.

Please, urgency.

Tell me.

Not to worry about me but Aisha.

I think your worrying
about nothing

but of course I got you.

You look like you've been
in the desert for a week.

Did you get anything good?

About 90 Skinnies headed
toward base camp tonight.

I love it.

Why is that funny?

We've got a surprise
waiting for them.

We're gonna barbecue those
sons of bitches

Why? we got a new
weapon or something?

Dude, he's been in desert.

He hasn't seen the
news or anything.

Will somebody
please cut the shit

and tell me what's going on.

We got orders from
the Commander in Chief

to vacate this hell hole.

We're redeploying today.

Base are already empty Sheph.

Well, you know, except
for the C4 we left behind.

We're leaving?

Get the Arabic out
of your brain

and listen to the words that
are coming out of my mouth.

You go home now.

In
International news,

Following the US
President's decision

to withdraw all troops
from the region,

abandoning it's Kurdish allies,

Turkish forces have moved
in slaughtering

thousands of Kurdish
fighters and civilians.

David,
It's me.

I woke up and you were gone.

Anyway, last night was fun.

Call me.

David, it's
dad obviously.

You didn't show up for your
job interview at the firm.

I don't know what
you're trying to do,

but I can't keep
putting my reputation

on the line for you.

Call me.

Shepherd,
it's Dr. Schwab from the VA.

You missed your
appointment this morning

so I was just calling to
make sure you're okay.

You may not think your
therapy's working

but I assure you we're
making progress.

Please be sure to reschedule it.

Alina?

Yes.

Drive fast.

Okay.

Rough day?

You don't even know.

They say
bartenders and drivers

are the best listeners.

You look like you have
enough problems of your own.

No offense.

Everybody has problems.

Everybody sleeps in their car?

Smells like morning
breath and sex.

What?

I have parents.

I know.

I thought we were
talking about you.

Trust me.

You don't wanna know.

Try me.

I just saw something horrible.

What the hell?

Who are you?

I'm nobody, I swear.

Nobody wants to kill
nobody that bad.

Wait, what are you doing?

Get down.

What's your passcode.

I need to call my parents.

I don't recommend it, not yet.

Why?

If someone's after you,

your parents could get
caught in the crossfire,

and you don't want that.

So then what are we
supposed to do now?

Let's start with
trying to figure out

who's trying to kill you.

I don't know.

You have to know.

What were you trying
to tell me in the car?

You saw something horrible.

My best friend Natalia and I,

we go to St. Mary's School

and she left her
book at my house

so I went to return it.

The front door was open
so I walked inside.

When I got to the kitchen

I saw a man stab
Natalia's father

and I ran away but I
think he saw me.

What does Natalie's
father do for a living?

I don't know, but
they're rich.

Expensive cars, nice house.

All of that.

Hey, why aren't you more
freaked out about all this?

It didn't happen to me.

It did.

There's bullet holes
in your car.

Do you want me to freak out?

No, but I don't want
you to accept it

like a psychopath either.

You ask a lot of questions.

So do you.

I was in the army, okay?

That's cool.

What'd you do?

Intelligence.

You, intelligence?

I expect an intelligence
guy to be all nerdy

and reading data all day.

I did that too.

Those are analysts.

I did that too

but mostly human Intel and
interrogations.

That's cool.

Why'd you leave?

Long story.

Tell me.

Some other time.

Let's focus on
keeping you alive.

Okay, so now what?

You must have a plan.

Bad guys always have a plan.

I'm working on one.

Working on one?

Maybe we need an analyst.

Very funny.

Get in the car.

In the front seat.

This is your home?

Well, technically.

It's my dad's house.

You still live with your dad?

He's old.

He gets lonely.

Make yourself at home

I'll be right back.

David Shepherd?

Who the hell is asking?

Howard Baskis.

Z sends her regards.

Who the hell is Z?

Hello.

Oh hi, you must be
David's dad.

I am and who are you,
young lady?

Alina.

Well, hello Alina.

Where is my son?

I don't know.

He went to go get the mail

but I think he went to
get food or something.

He told me to make
myself a home.

Oh, he did, did he?

Well, let me call him.

This is
David, leave a message.

Well, seems like it's
just you and I.

Have you eaten?

No, I'm starving.

Well, join me in the kitchen.

So you like sandwiches?

Yes.

So what did my son
tell you about me?

Not much.

Just that you're old and lonely.

Really?

But it seems like you have
it more together than he does.

Well, my son is going
through a rough patch right now

and he's keeping it together.

Definitely from his time
in the military

and obviously he's
got a big heart.

I mean, you're here.

So tell me, how how
did y'all meet?

He picked me up.

Picked you up?

Yeah, Rideshare.

Rideshare, yes.

Good, so go on.

Calub, you seem like a
really nice guy

and I don't really wanna
cause problems

but there's more to
how I met David.

You see, when David
picked me up,

I saw something horrible.

I saw my best friend's
dad get stabbed.

I'm so sorry.

I know it must be
really hard on you.

I'm going through it.

Well listen, you're in
the right place.

Like I said, my son's
got a big heart

and he knows what he's doing.

You can depend on him.

So we wait for him.

And for now we'll have
some sandwiches and...

Video games.

And play some video games,
of course.

Welcome.

Oh, don't be so antisocial

just because you've been
running around town,

keeping us from our targets.

Who the hell are you people?

We are an
organization of heroes.

We protect America
from the threat

of asymmetrical warfare

by providing intelligence

and occasionally getting
rid of human scum.

Mercenaries.

Hmm.

I hate labels.

So go ahead, ask your
next question.

I know you want to.

Why am I here?

Bingo.

Why are you here?

Hmm.

Is it because you took
out our best operative?

No, we don't take any prisoners.

We kill our enemies
and we move on.

Okay, so why then?

The only reason that
you're alive right now

is because I believe
that you can be useful.

I checked you out.

Your Delta, highly decorated,

has a problem with authority.

When authority does
the wrong things.

Touche.

I have a proposition for you.

The girl you're protecting,

she's collateral damage.

She witnessed our operative,

taking out someone that
desperately needed to be killed.

He was an enemy of the State.

She's just a kid who's
she gonna tell?

Shepherd, we operate
in the shadows.

As insignificant as that
little girl is,

she can bring us to the ground.

Don't act like you don't
understand that.

So what's the proposition?

You do a job for us

and we'll leave her alone.

What's the job?

I'm sorry, was that a yes?

One kill and you
leave her alone forever.

One kill

The Target's name is
Maximiliano Che.

He is an international
arms dealer specializing

in biological weapons.

How do I know you're not
gonna just kill her anyway

after I do this job for you?

You don't, you roll the dice

or she dies today.

Up to you.

Go on.

We lost a man on our
last mission.

He was gathering Intel on Che

until his cover was blown.

Che, killed him in cold blood.

However, we did find out

what he was planning to
sell and when.

What we know is it's a
weapon of mass destruction

created by Eve Howell,
American scientist.

What we don't know is
how it works

and who he's planning
to sell it to.

So what's the play?

Che is a ghost.

Eve Howell, she's your best bet.

That's where you need to start.

You know what will
happen if you fail.

I won't.

Hey, I'm Maxine.

Shepherd.

Here to support
your operation.

And well, used to
work for the NSA

but I was too forward
thinking for them.

I'm an anarchist,

born in several countries.

I'm mobile and don't
have many friends.

I don't buy it.

I do.

Here's your assault pack.

Weapons, other useful gadgets.

What's this?

That is an acid bomb.

Activate it, you have
five seconds.

So deactivate it.

So am wearing a helmet
camera or what?

Do you wear contacts?

No.

Now you do.

We watch your every move.

I also took the Liberty

of checking out the scientist.

She'll be at the gala tomorrow.

I'll be shutting off all of
the electricity in her car

and the rest is up to you.

Any questions?

My car got set up,

can you give me a new one?

What do you want?

Lamborghini.

We'll get yours fixed.

What seems to be the problem?

Let me guess,
you're a mechanic?

I know a little something.

Pop the hood.

I got you.

Problem is
definitely electrical.

I was gonna have this with you.

How about I call you
a tow truck?

You know what, I'm
really in a hurry.

Do you think you can give
me a ride to my event?

Well, it depends.

You're not crazy or anything,
are you?

We all have our triggers,
good and bad.

I'll just have to stay
on those good triggers now.

Let's go.

So if you don't mind my asking,

what do you do for a living?

I'm a secret agent.

Mm hmm.

What kind of missions?

Mostly international stuff.

I'm like the black female 007.

Okay, we might run
some of the same circles.

Wow, you're gullible

You have an honest face, okay?

What can I say?

I'm a scientist.

A very boring scientist.

I doubt that.

It's true.

I mean, don't get me wrong.

I love my job

and I guess it's just
not what it used to be.

Well, I can relate to that.

My last job was like that.

Really?

Yeah.

Is this one better?

It's too early to tell.

But right now,

I really like my job.

So yeah, when I first started

I thought I was gonna
change the world

one scientific
discovery at a time.

I was hired to cure very
powerful disease

that I can't mention due to
my nondisclosure agreement.

And I found the cure but it
was hidden from the public.

Too much money in the
treatment drugs.

Exactly.

And then I discovered
an anti-aging formula

that really worked and
still it was suppressed.

Wow.

My latest discovery would make

the entire world safer
from extreme weather.

I donated that one to the
US government.

That way, if they try
to suppress it,

I can still share it
with the world.

Sounds like a game changer.

Yeah I hope so.

I truly do.

I just wanna, you know,
leave my mark

and do my part, you know.

I do.

I definitely do.

The sedative worked.

Nicely done.

Didn't swallow any, did you?

No sleeping on the job.

I'm good.

What do I do now?

Old one.

Old one?

I'm running a program that
analyzes her buying trends

to determine most likely
password choices.

Almost there.

Alright.

Try capital S science girl one.

I'm in, Wow.

You need to be hacking banks.

Who says I haven't?

Okay, so what's next?

All right, type in this
code in the search bar

Now hit Enter.

Done.

Good.

I'm accessing her files now.

Get out of there before
she wakes up.

Eve Howell, scientist.

Eve was hired by the
Department of Energy

to create a device that
would prevent a hurricane

from reaching shore.

The device creates a
current inside the storm

which effectively cancels
out the hurricane.

Unfortunately Howell's
supposed contact

turned out to be one of the
Che's men, Nicholas Garner.

Che's purpose of the device
was always meant to be used

as a weapon of mass destruction,

sold to the highest bidder.

A weather bomb.

Deployed on land the device
can destroy any structure

within a 20 mile radius

killing hundreds and
thousands in the process.

We believe Che
has a buyer.

We've identified his
location as this house.

Get in, get Che
and get out.

And
don't get caught.

Excuse me, but can I help you?

Probably.

Will you?

That is the question.

I'm here with my husband.

Oh, I know.

Happy anniversary.

Look I'm gonna call security.

Someone's gonna kill the
man you're in love with.

My husband, why?

Not your husband, the
man you're in love with.

The man you spent
last night with

on your supposed business trip.

What do you want?

Just some honest conversation

between two people with a
lot of secrets.

Well, talk fast.

He'll be back in a minute.

He's got a lot of body
guards, a lot body guards.

But when death comes for Reyes,

it wont come when he's
surrounded by his body guards

it will come when he's
at his most vulnerable.

Can you imagine when he's
at his most vulnerable?

When he's with me?

Bingo.

See, the thing is death
doesn't like witnesses.

So what do you think that
means for you?

They'll kill me too.

Indeed.

So I guess this is where
your story ends.

What a waste.

Unless,

unless you tell me exactly

where and when Reyes will
be alone and vulnerable.

I'll find a way.

Text me at this
number when you do.

I don't even know your name.

Trust me, you're better
off not knowing.

I thought teenagers
were supposed

to be good at video games?

Looks like your fears are
about to get disappointed.

Don't worry about me, old man.

Old man?

I'm just giving you a
false sense of security

before I break you.

Really?

Really, watch it.

Well, this old man is feeling
pretty secure right now.

So I guess it's working.

Hello?

Yes.

Hey dad, it's me.

David.

Let me talk to him.

Hi David.

I just wanted to
tell you thanks.

I know you don't have to do this

but well, that's it I guess.

David, your little
friend told me everything.

Yeah, it's
been a complicated day.

How the heck did you
get yourself mixed up

in all this mess?

I'm just trying
to do the right thing, dad.

The right thing?

Who are these people?

Can't
tell you that.

Well, tell me, are we
in any danger?

Not if I do
what they asked me to do.

Well, what are they
asking you to do?

I can't tell
you that either.

Alright David, just, be
careful out there, all right?

David?

Hey Shepherd.

Yeah.

Don't shoot the bomb.

You see him shooting at me,
right?

Kevlar vest is fortified
to deal with pistols

so you can take it.

As long as I
don't get shot in the face.

Exactly.

Titanium
crystals my ass

that shit hurt.

Cant believe you fell
for that one.

I'm starting
to not like you.

Mumbles.

Maxine, that sound is
coming from that device.

Is that normal?

I don't know.

It's counting down.

How do I stop it?

I don't know.

You don't know?

That's literally your only job.

I'm a hacker not a wizard.

It's not built with any
deactivation feature.

The only person who
will know is...

Eve.

Hello

David, so nice to hear from you.

You got a moment?

Yeah, sure.

What's going on?

So I really don't know
how to say this

but I need your help.

So I'm just gonna say it.

That's how I like it.

Raw and real

Hello.

Eve, I'm a spy.

Well, the government
agent kind of.

Okay, I get it.

You're trying to get me back
for that secret agent joke.

Very funny.

No Eve, not funny.

The device that you created

for the Department of
Energy to save people

from hurricanes is
being weaponized on land

to produce mass casualties.

I was hired to stop the
sale from happening.

And I did that

but I accidentally triggered
the five minute timer.

If you don't help me a
hundred thousand people

are gonna die.

Including us.

Did you just say five
minute timer?

How could you
possibly know that?

Because I'm telling the truth.

Okay listen, you won't
be able to open the case

without an
authorized hand print.

There's a rectangular section

on the side of the case.

That will activate it.

Okay, one sec.

Wait, don't move the device.

If you move it, it will
self-destruct

and override the timer.

Okay.

All right, I have the print.

Now what?

Okay.

Gently, gently open the case.

Listen, do not move that case
from its current position.

No pressure.

Okay, here we go.

It made a different noise
but it's still counting down.

Okay, that's fine.

It just means you have
90 seconds to enter in

the deactivation code.

You can only enter it
in one time.

So you can't miss a number.

Understand?

Okay, yeah I got it.

Let's go.

The 12 digit code is seven,
two.

Eve.

Eve.

Eve.

Any ideas?

I got nothing.

Okay, what was the
passport on the laptop?

Signscore1.

That's 12 characters.

So we just need to assign
a number to each character

that's not a number.

Well, if we go by the phone

that's three to four
possibilities for a number.

But we can run a personality
test using the buying trends

and see what I come up with.

30 seconds.

Okay. Got it.

Type this in,

nine, eight, five, three, seven,
seven, seven, eight, nine,

six, seven, one.

Hi.

Delivery from Ms Yvonne.

Okay, thank you.

This video was sent to
us an hour ago.

Why? Who are they?

They work for the
would-be buyer

of the device that
you intercepted.

They will torture her

until she agrees to
manufacture another device.

She won't do it.

How do you know?

Eve is...

She's a true believer.

She's on some Zen shit.

Something about every person

has a role to play
in this world.

Now that she knows

that the device won't
be used to save lives

she won't recreate it.

She will die soon.

No, she's not.

Where are they taking her?

Columbia.

Passport with your alias,
plane tickets

and a photo of Reyes.

You sending a team with me?

No.

This mission is unsanctioned.

The US government hired
us to neutralize

the threat of attack by
eliminating Che.

Disarming the bomb,

that was a bonus

but that'll keep us in business.

It's an added value if you will.

But saving Eve Howell,

that is not a priority
on the US government list

at this time.

But if she was to make...

As such, we have to
limit our exposure

in case something goes wrong.

Unfortunately, that's
all the support

I can give you at this time.

Happy hunting.

Also.

What's this?

Cyanide.

The government has no
connection to you

and has no authority to
act against Reyes.

Reyes is ex CIA.

He's a master interrogator.

He'll make you wish for
death for years

only to kill you after you
tell him what he wants to know.

If you're captured,
take the pill.

You lost me?

Yvonne's sends her regards.

So what can the CIA do for
Yvonne and her team today?

I see.

You know I do a lot of
business with Reyes.

Is Yvonne prepared to
compensate me for my losses?

Check your bank account.

Now you're talking
my language.

I need weapons and a location.

He's not gonna be an
easy mark, you know.

I'm not expecting one.

He and his men recently
acquired a scientist.

So I'm guessing you
want her back.

I'll get you what you need.

Like it?

It's a bit dusty,

needs some cleaning

but it had its charm.

We are in a wartime bunker.

This is designed to protect
politicians, presidents

and the elite of my country.

We're 10 stories underground.

This is one of the safest
places in the world

and the last place anybody
will ever find you.

So?

You're the fine one,
aren't you?

Let me make this easy on me.

I'm not gonna make you
the bomb and that's it.

You fooled me once but
now that I know

what you plan to do
with the device,

I'd rather die.

The value of my life
is defined...

By the good that we do in
the world, blah, blah, blah.

I know what you're gonna say.

I've read your best
selling science book

and it's boring.

It's boring as hell.

Teaches all

Indeed my dear, indeed.

So if you know I'm
not gonna build the bomb

how come you just get
it over with?

Your boss is gonna make
you torture me until I die.

So you think you've got
it all figured out, huh?

I watch a lot of movies.

Well, that's where
you're wrong.

I don't have a boss.

I am the boss.

In fact, my media company
has helped elect

the past three presidents.

And for my next trick

I'm gonna get myself
elected President.

The only thing
standing in the way

is your government
supporting another candidate.

He's a puppet

He's a pun.

I am not a pun

And the first thing I
would do as President

is release my country

from US economic and
political influence.

And you're gonna help me
by delivering a credible

and devastating threat,
your device.

Why don't you just take
the $50 million?

The offer is still on the table.

It's for you.

Use that to buy some
breath mints.

Very well.

Look around, in this room
are all the components needed

for you to finish the device.

It needs to get done.

Do you understand?

We'll be watching and you
were right about one thing,

if you don't complete it,

you will die of starvation.

You want me to
finish him boss?

No, no, no, no, no.

Your never give you my

bomb.

I want you to go to the US

and give me my money.

I'll take care of this guy.

Now, this is nice.

This is a nice surprise.

My CIA contact told me
I might go to visitor.

And I thought who would be so
stupid to come look for me?

But I know now that
this, this is personal.

I know you're looking for Eve.

I don't know what
you see in her.

She's hard to work with.

One thing's for sure,

She loves pain

and I think that's very sexy.

Did I cut your nerve?

Don't worry about it.

You'll never find her.

She's at a place that nobody
will ever find her, okay?

I've always liked baseball

but you know what?

Football has always
been my sport.

But again like they say,

it's never too late to learn,
huh?

So if you're not with a CIA.

You're here alone.

And that means you're a
man in the know

and you must have the
information that I need.

I need you to tell
me everything.

All of it.

Eve.

Is she safe?

How did you...

Cyber spy anarchist, shepherd.

Give me a break.

She's not here.

Where is Reyes?

Dead.

Okay, give me a sec.

Reyes has 10 properties

but most of them are commercial

and the building scans are
showing no hidden rooms,

no trap doors, trick,
walls, nothing like that.

I'm sorry Shepherd,
there's nothing I can do.

Maxine, are any of
his buildings

built on top of
older structures?

Checking.

Jackpot.

His television studio is
built on the site

of an underground bunker.

That has to be when
they're keeping her.

And how do I get there?

There's has to be an
anomaly somewhere

but you don't see.

Here we go.

There's a private elevator.

That has to be it.

Send me the coordinates.

I'm on my way.

Okay, but I don't
work pro bono.

You survive this you
better get a job

so you can pay my fee.

You know where to find me.

10 seconds.

All right, copy that.

Welcome to Reyes's studio.

AKA propaganda TV.

Wait.

Two on patrol.

I thought you
said this was lightly guarded?

It is, it just happens
to be bad timing.

Go now.

Shepherd, you're about
to lose the connection.

The signal is getting weak.

I'm sending you the coordinates

of the elevator to your phone.

Watch your six.

Copy that.

Eve.

Eve.

Eve.

Eve.

Shepherd.

Yeah it's me, Eve.

You're safe now.

Get me out of here
before I eat you.

I can tell that
you're new to this.

So let me explain it to you.

Everything's business.

Nothing's personal.

You pay more than he
does and you get more.

You get it?

So now you have leverage on me.

So here, how about this
for an offer?

I'll pass.

I don't like empty promises.
