Intelligence (2014): Season 1, Episode 8 - Delta Force - full transcript

While in Bolivia with Riley to protect a presidential candidate from assassination, Gabriel is shocked to learn his best friend is the suspect.

This is
the third opposition leader

assassinated in Bolivia in the past month.

The situation down there has been a mess

since President Carrizales took over.

So you think that President Carrizales

is taking out his enemies
to ensure his re-election?

It appears that way.

But many countries are about to have

a renewed interest in Bolivia,
including the U.S.

- Lithium.
- Exactly.

Turns out that Bolivia sits
on the world's largest deposits.



Every battery needs it.
Every cellphone needs it.

The leader who controls Bolivia
will have the power

to influence the most important
currency in the world... energy.

And we're hoping that leader
will be Javier León.

He's a moderate,
married to a schoolteacher...

brother's a priest, a man of the people,

and someone we can work with.

Who has a target on his back.

The state department is quietly sending

the undersecretary of state
to meet with León in two days.

It is imperative that he remain alive.

I have an asset down there

who can assist your team when they arrive.

Whoever the killer is, he's good.



And the president doesn't
want to take any chances.

Not bad. Not bad.

Not bad?
I threaded the needle.

Let me show you how it's done.

Okay, I'm just gonna study your form.

Boom.

It looks like we have

a bit of a runaway over there on the left.

Should we put out an A.P.B.?
It might have fled the state.

You distracted me.

- Jameson.
- Morning.

I haven't seen you down here in a while.

I guess he's shooting off memos.

Okay, Special Agent Chris
Jameson, let's see what you got.

That's how you shoot off a memo.

No strays.

Lillian needs us
at C-Doc.

This is a series of photos

that was taken by an ATM outside of LA Paz

just moments after the vicente
assassination in the brothel.

I know it's hard to make him out here.

We don't have
a positive I.D. yet,

but we believe that
it's the same man seen here.

Same hat, same jacket.

And this was taken a little
while after the second killing.

If he committed three assassinations,

we have every reason
to believe that he's the one

that's now targeting Javier León.

Gabriel.
Do you recognize him?

- Yeah.
- Who is he?

Lieutenant John Norris.

- Lieutenant?
- Delta Force, tier 1.

Is the chip telling you that?

Don't need the chip.

He was my best friend.

Gabriel Vaughn, one of our nation's
most decorated soldiers.

He's a hero, and now our
country's most secret weapon.

Gabriel possesses a rare genetic mutation

that allowed us to implant
a microchip in his brain.

We connected his mind directly
to the information grid.

It's something the chip does
that nobody expected.

I can create a virtual snapshot
of an event in my mind

and then walk through it.

It's like a virtual evidence wall.

At U.S. Cyber Command,

we created a highly
specialized unit around him...

Satellite in five.

And assigned an agent to protect him.

Run!

He's the first of his kind...

the next evolution of intelligence.

So, how does a... special-forces
soldier like Norris,

that kind of résumé,

become a hired mercenary for a
crazed despot in South America?

Combat's addictive.
No other rush like it.

A lot of guys start jonesing

the minute they leave the battlefield.

But to become an assassin?

Were there any warning signs with Norris?

Psychological spikes,
morally questionable behavior?

Morally questionable behavior.

Yeah.

It's called war.

There.
Go, go!

Aah!

Come on. Come on.

Aah!

- Aah!
- You good?

Hang on. Hang on.

My tank's empty, bro.

I counted 15 of them.

I'm out.

I got, five rounds.

You got to keep moving.
I'll dig in here.

Funny guy.

You never were that good at math, Norris.

Even if you hit them with all 5 rounds,

that still leaves 10 of them to kill us.

Oh, they won't kill us.
They'll torture us.

Good. For a minute there,
I thought we were in trouble.

All right.

You sit tight.
I'm gonna draw them off.

I'll circle back around for you.

That's your plan?

What's the first rule of delta?

Everybody goes home. Everybody goes home.
That's right.

All right.
You hang on to this.

Come on.

What am I gonna do with one bullet?
Just in case.

Don't want to end up on YouTube

with your head chopped off, do you?

Hey. Johnny.

Thanks, bro.

Of course.

We're landing.

Gabriel, look.
I know he's your friend.

Was my friend.

What happened between you two?

He used to say I was his conscience.

That doesn't sound so bad.

He didn't want a conscience.

So, going up against him...

Not a problem.

Is that our CIA contact?

Agent Dale Cogan.

He set up the meet with Javier León.

Hello.
I'm Javier León.

This is my wife, Marcela.

Agent Vaughn.
This is Agent Jameson.

Agent Neal's keeping an eye outside.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

The pleasure's ours, sir.

So, how does this work?

I'll bring you to a secure safe house,

and you'll remain with me there

until the undersecretary and his
team have arrived in country.

Agent Jameson will then take you
to the location of the meeting.

And where will that be?

It's better if we don't tell you that yet.

At this point,
any information is need-to-know.

You don't trust me, señor Vaughn?

Respectfully, sir,
we don't know your team.

This is my wife's brother, nestor.

He's the primary reason we're still alive.

You played two seasons as
a midfielder for Banda Roja.

- You follow LA Paz football?
- A little bit.

- Gabriel.
- Mucho gusto.

And what will you be doing, Agent Vaughn,

while Señor Jameson is keeping us so safe?

I'm gonna find the man who wants you dead.

No matter how I feel about
the men who have been killed,

assassination is the lowest form
of political protest.

When you find those who are responsible

for the murder of my opponents,
please bring them to justice.

We'll do our best, sir.

The package is safe
and on its way to the kitchen.

And you're certain nobody
was following you?

As certain as I can be,
given we didn't set up the meet.

Is your guy Cogan reliable?

Of course.

He's also our only covert asset
in the country.

If anyone would have the intel on
Norris, it would be Agent Cogan.

Well, we're about to meet him.

Nice digs.

When you guys say “clandestine”"
you really mean it.

Talk to you crazy kids later.

I don't appreciate his manner.

You'll get used to it.
Sort of.

You sightseeing?

It's a secret service tick.

I don't like going into places
where the only exit I know of

is the door we're walking in.

Relax. Uncle Sam pays the rent.
It's all wired.

There's a security camera above that door.

I'm looking back at us
right now. Say “cheese”"

let's go.

Something's wrong.
Get behind me.

You get behind me.

Riley.
Gabriel.

Together, then.
One, two...

Three.

- Is that Cogan?
- It's him.

Norris!

Norris!

Norris is in the back of the house.

Gabriel!

You tripped something.

Run!

Are you okay?

I think so.

Are you?

That was close.

He's gone.

We lost him.

So, what's our theory on this?

Norris found out the CIA was tracking him,

so he killed Cogan.

And booby-traps the apartment
to take out

any other spook who shows up there.

Now that he's seen me,
it just got personal.

And for you, is it personal?

No.

He's just a guy we have to
bring down, nothing more.

Who are you calling?

C-doc. We have to tell them
Norris killed Cogan.

I have a better idea.

Let's call Norris.

How do you plan on doing that?

He's got a cellphone on him.

I caught the digits
right before the room blew.

Can you use it to track him?

He's too smart
to use a next-gen phone.

What do you mean?

The older ones don't have GPS...
harder to track.

We'd have to triangulate off three towers.

And we're in Bolivia.
We're lucky we have one.

So you're just gonna call him?

Why not?

Yeah?

Where are
you running to, Johnny?

Believe me, I'm as surprised as you are.

The hell are you doing here?

I came to see you.

So what's your game, brah?
Who are you working for?

I was gonna ask you the same question.

We need to meet.
I want to talk.

No, we don't need to talk.
You need to step off.

Or what, Johnny?

You know better than to ask me that.

Did he threaten you?

It's just the way he says hello.

Don't shoot, bro.
Might need that bullet.

Aah!

You said this place was clear.
It is.

Come on. Come on. Get up.

Come on.

Where the hell are they?

Relax.
I got it covered.

Come on.

Aah!

Shut up.

Are you out of your mind?

It's okay.
I'm not gonna hurt you.

I won't hurt you.
I'm not gonna hurt you.

Shh. Shh.
Great scream.

Why don't you set off a flare
while you're at it?

Where's the father?

Wasn't here.

He's probably one of the guys
out there trying to kill us.

No. We're not animals.

I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.

We could
have tracked that number.

No, we couldn't have, Lillian.

Not out here, not without a satellite.

Why don't we have a satellite?

The closest one is over Mexico.

It'll take hours to get it in place.

Look, I know this man.
We bled together.

I thought I could talk him down.

I didn't send you there to talk him down.

I sent you there to take him out.

So, what?
I'm an assassin now?

You press a button, and I kill a man?

Yes, as a matter of fact.

I press a button and you kill a man.

That's how it works.
Are we clear?

Yeah, we're clear.

You and I might become friends after all.

Unlikely.

I wish my students were more like that.

Like what?

Straight to the books, no matter
how awful the situation.

And what is so awful?

That we have to be in a place
like this, hiding like cowards.

When Cleopatra was at war with her brother

for the throne of Alexandria,

there was one prize that she needed first.

Caesar.

If she could seduce Caesar...

She'd have a
titan for an ally.

And are you prepared to lift
your dress for America?

Okay, your men are outside.

Nestor will remain in the house with us.

What do you have there?

It's a blueprint. There's
a control room downstairs.

The Bolivians officially
ejected the U.S. in '84.

The CIA needed to protect

their people who were still
in the country,

so they built these safe houses.

Technology's a little outdated.

It should still work.

Now we have eyes.

What about communication?

Well, there's no cell tower in the area.

Fortunately, we brought our own.

A mobile satellite terminal.

With this puppy, we'll be able to remain

in direct communication
with our team at all times.

Okay, you two should get some rest.

The undersecretary will be here
in the morning.

Here?
It's the perfect location.

It's rural, secluded, and
it's completely off the grid.

Sounds like the making of a ghost story.

Let's hope not.

Do you think Cogan
had anything on his computer

that will help us find Norris?

If he did, we'll never know it.
This thing's too far gone.

I can't get anything off it.

You said that you and Norris
were once best friends.

What happened?

Fallujah.

Fubar clusterbang if I ever saw one.

We shouldn't have survived it, but we did.

After that, our backs were glued together.

Combat changes people.

No.

It reveals them.

Killing a human being for the first time

makes a normal person sick to the stomach.

For others, it's an appetizer.

It makes them hungry for more.

And that's Norris.

By the time I left my last tour,

he wasn't the same guy I knew.

I'd lost him.

There's just one thing
I can't wrap my head around.

What's that?

Why didn't he kill us?

What are you talking about?

He set a trap for us at the apartment.

Almost blew our heads off.

That trip laser wasn't meant
for us specifically.

Norris got what he needed,

set a trap for whoever else came in.

It just happened to be us.

But when he saw your face,

he could have headed us off
and taken us out, but he didn't.

What are you thinking?

You just said Norris
got what he needed from Cogan.

The safe house...
Cogan knew the location.

Gabriel. Jameson, he
knows you're there.

Jameson, can you hear me?!
Norris is coming!

He's already here.

Why is he just standing there?

He knows we're watching.
He's trying to lure us out.

No, no, no.

What are they doing?

I sent them out there to kill him.

Okay.

Do you know how to use this?
Of course.

You and Marcela lock yourselves
in here when we leave.

Let's go.

Stand behind me.
No, no.

Of the two of us, Javi,

I'm the only one
who's served in the military.

Give me that gun
before you shoot yourself.

Aah!

Norris, I know you're in here!

Jameson's down.

I don't know how he got inside.

Looks like the bullet went through.

Take it easy, nestor.
Is he gone?

He went that way.

Where's Javier and Marcela?

They're safe.
They're in the control room.

Norris has got to be close.
He doesn't give up.

Riley, you stay here with Jameson.

You don't actually think
you're going after Norris alone?

I know how he thinks.
You gonna be all right?

Stellar.

Keep pressure on it.
Gabriel.

We can't lose Norris, and you can't
let Jameson bleed out. Thanks.

What do you suggest?
Be careful.

Can't get away, Johnny!

I'm better at this than you!

That's your problem!

You always thought you were better!

You want to hunt a tiger,

you better take him down in one shot!

Satellite in place?
Yes.

Thermal is detecting gunfire.

Can you isolate that?

Gabriel, can you hear me?

Not a great time right now.

We just got off with Riley
and heard what happened.

Okay, I really got to run.

The satellite is just now
getting into position.

Can you access the feed?

Technically, that'd be cheating.

Excuse me?

Never mind.

Did you lose the connection?

He just cut it himself.

There's no place you can go
I can't find you, Norris!

Norris!

Here I am.

You got the shot.

Question is, do you got the steel?

What a surprise.
He can't do it.

I don't have to, Johnny.

Why's that?

You're standing in the middle
of a minefield.

Prom-1
anti-personnel mines.

Planted by pinochet in the '70s.

Hard to see, but, you know, effective.

You want to survive, you're gonna need me.

Don't take another step!

There's a nut-cutter three feet,
two inches in front of you.

How the hell do you know that?

I got a satellite.
In your brain?

Also, the Bolivian military

kept detailed maps of the minefields.

Which you somehow memorized.

Are you insane?!

You're gonna have to trust me
if you want to get out of there!

I know where the mines are,

but you're gonna have to follow
my instructions exactly.

Turn to me.
Take two steps forward.

Unh-unh-unh!

Simon didn't say.

That's not funny, man.

You always were too serious.

Go ahead.

All right.
One step to your left.

You see that rock?

Stay to the right of that rock.

Before you take another step,
we're gonna put our guns away.

You think I would shoot you after this?

Yeah, Johnny, I do.

One step to your left.

Make that log.
You're home free.

Thanks, bro.

Hey, hey!

Yeah, I'll take your weapon now.

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
Hey, patrol's here.

About 100 yards out,
heading straight toward us.

Where's the mom and the little girl?

Hey, shh, shh, shh!

Shut up.

Shh! Shh!

She's gonna get us killed.

Hey, shh, shh!

Shh.
It's gonna be okay.

__

Can't let you do that, brah.

Oh, you just killed us.

__

__

__

You're lucky, boy.

You could have gotten killed

for some kid you're never gonna see again.

They didn't ask for this.
They're innocent.

It doesn't matter.
What does matter, Norris?

The first rule of delta...
everybody goes home.

All we have to do is survive, bro.

First rule of life...

remember what we're surviving for.

I don't get it.

Why didn't you let me bite it out there?

'Cause I'm not an assassin.

What do you call what you did to Cogan?

What are you talking about?
I never met Cogan.

That's 'cause you killed him first.
What are you trying to pull?

You killed Cogan.
We both know it.

And why would I kill Cogan?

Same reason you killed
the other three Bolivians.

Cut the crap, Norris.
I saw you there.

I showed up to check in.

10 seconds later, the place blew up.
Check in?

I worked for Cogan.

You saying you work for the CIA?

Red op.

Only Cogan knew.

Convenient.

Not really.

You assassinated
the other three rebel leaders.

Explain that.

Enemies on the battlefield.

Who says so? And don't say us,
'cause I know it wasn't.

What do you mean, “us?”

Cyber Com.

How the hell does somebody like
you end up in Cyber Command?

You barely know
how to check your e-mail.

Remember the time I had to get
the porn off your...

I'm not gonna let you kill Javier León.

Javier León?
He's not my target.

What are you talking about?

I wasn't sent to kill Javier.
I was sent to protect him.

From who?

Seriously?

You can't see it?

Marcela, the wife, and
the knuckle-dragging brother.

He pulled the fuses.

We should be good now.

How are you holding up?
Well...

I've been in worse spots.

I'm glad I wasn't there for those.

We're gonna get you out
with the undersecretary.

Are you okay?
I know you will.

I'll be glad when he's here.

He'll have diplomatic security with them.

Any word from Gabriel yet?

Nothing.

I know staying back with me
and letting Gabriel

go off alone,
that had to be tough for you.

No.

No, it was the right call.

I just, you know...

Sometimes he acts before
he thinks, and I just hope...

you're worried about him.

I'm worried, too.

You're telling me Marcela's
gonna kill her own husband?

She worked for the government.
For El Presidente.

Oh, Javier doesn't have a clue.

Carrizales ordered them to kill him.

Why?

'Cause he decided
to deal with the U.S.

It's a red line for Carrizales' people.

So I got the order to...

Make sure Javier was protected
and the last one standing.

And when we realized Marcela
and Bro-zilla were dirty,

they got on the list.

Would you lower the gun already?

We're on the same team, brah.

Just like old times.

If you're telling the truth,
why isn't León dead yet?

This whole thing is about the
meeting with the undersecretary.

Marcela wants him dead, too.

All right. Fine.
You don't believe me.

But, your partner, the girl...

What about her?

Well, if I'm telling the truth

and you do nothing, she's dead, too.

Ready to gamble with her life?

Are you okay?

You've been here for a long time.

I'm fine.

It's not every day you meet
United States undersecretary.

You look beautiful.

I'll be right out.
Okay.

Don't make me regret this.

Keep up if you can, old man.

You're nervous?

This is an important meeting.

And today is for Bolivia.

Yes. It is.

He's here.

Can you hold down the fort?

Yeah, yeah.

Sir, Riley Neal, Cyber Com.

This is señor Javier León.

Señor León, I'm Jim Sutters.

I'm the undersecretary of state

in charge of South American affairs.

Mr. undersecretary
of state,

allow me to introduce to you
my wife, Marcela.

- It's an honor to meet you, señora.
- Likewise.

Gun! Get down!

Riley, no!

What are you doing?

Marcela! Marcela!

Aah!

Marcela!
It's a bomb!

Marcela.

I don't understand.

You could never see, Javi.

I married you because I thought
we could lead our country.

You're like...
you're like them,

willing to whore yourself
to the United States.

I'd rather die with my feet in the air

than live with my legs open to these pigs.

Aah!

The guy can shoot.
Yeah.

So, are you gonna explain this
to me at some point?

Oh, don't worry about me.
I'm fine. Joy.

Riley, Norris.
Norris, Riley.

I'd shake your hand, but, you shot me.

Yeah, well, I'd shake your hand, but
I'd rather just shoot you again.

Nice meeting you, too.

So, you guys are friends now?

Besties.

Guess we're even.

Now we're even.

So, we're good?

Yeah. Guess we are.

You ready to tell me what's up with you?

What are you talking about?

Well, first you somehow found
my burner phone,

and you memorized the minefield?

Maybe you should start by telling me
how you ended up a paid assassin.

I'm a soldier.

A soldier.

Back in the day, they dropped us
on the battlefield

and told us who to point our guns at.

As far as I'm concerned,
I'm doing the same exact thing.

Your turn.

What's up with you?

At some point, you might want
to think about coming home.

They do something to you?

No, they did something for me.

It isn't how it appears.

You put my asset at risk again.

I had no idea Norris was CIA.

He had his own handler.

Who never told us who he hired.

It was a ghost op.
It's not uncommon.

It's how we keep these things
at arm's length.

What was the directive to Cogan?

This is the cable.
Read it yourself.

There's one sentence here.

Read it.

“Uncle Sam backs
Javier León.”

he took that mean

we wanted to eliminate
all of the competition.

Cogan was old-school.

Old-school?

Without trust, you and I have nothing.

We've shared a lot of things, Jeff.

Trust has never been one of them.

You're off the clock.

Really? You think so?

I think I got it from here.

I'm never off the clock.

You know the gig.
This is 24/7.

And this is your last beer.

You sure you're okay?

How's Jameson?

He asked out the nurse.

She say yes?

What do you think?

Do you want to talk about Norris?

Not really.

You know, at one point,
there was nobody better.

There is somebody better.

Good night, Gabriel.

Good night.
