♪♪

Gustavo...

Brother.

You have to
trust me.

Our armies may be stopped
at the Darien Gap,

but we have friends
in Central America.

They have guns and men.

Let me gather their armies
and --

Slattery: Captain Aguilar's ship
will cover an area

15 miles
off the coast of Mexico.

Mr. Fuentes
does the same off Cuba.

Land batteries
and mines on either side

will fill the gaps
and provide early warning.

Should be enough
to protect the oil complex



'til the US-Mexican
calvary arrives.

If Gustavo's forces try
to make it through the mines,

they sink.

They hug beach,
we blast 'em from land.

And if they come straight up
the middle towards us...

We'll be ready.

I only wish Cuba
could provide more support.

Aguilar:
Señor Fuentes,

on behalf
of the people of Mexico,

we are grateful
for the risks you have taken,

not just
for the battle to come,

but for the future
of our two countries.

♪♪

♪♪

The airfield
is in that direction.

Sasha: Pablo said the Narcos
leave for Northern Mexico

every Wednesday at 1600.

If they're still
up and running.

That leaves us eight hours
to get to the airfield

and convince them
to give us a lift.

You will get
that lift.

Everybody loved Pablo.

♪♪

Vasquez will guide you
from here.

Sí, Jefe.

You've bought the rebel movement
some time and more.

You gave us confidence.

Take Gustavo's war plans
back to the States.

Crack his code.

And let us win this.

♪♪

[ Conversing in Spanish ]

Gracias, amigo.

We will meet again.

I'm sure.

♪♪

Morning, babe.

Kelsi:
What are you doing up?

You got home
three hours ago.

I got to get back.

I was
making breakfast.

Can't.
We're so close.

Close to what?

Close to figuring out how we got
attacked in the first place.

Sounds like you've been playing
a lot of catch up.

Everyone's doing
their part.

Including you.

Oh, yeah?

How so?
[ Chuckles ]

Just being there
for me.

Having my back
through all of this.

It means
more than you know.

Yeah.

That's me,
making a difference.

[ Chuckles ]

♪♪

Fuentes and Aguilar
are aboard their ships, sir.

♪♪

Where the hell are you,
Gustavo?

Chandler:
CIC, bridge.

Admiral Slattery,

I can hear you pacing
from the bridge.

I'm beginning to think
we should shift to offense, Tom.

We know Gustavo's fleet's
headed toward this strait.

Let's charge him head-on.

Flush him out.

I'm itching, too, Mike,
but it's a solid plan.

Just need to give it
a little more time.

♪♪

T.A.O.,
we have a ping.

I have 1, 2...

Admiral,
I have three signals pinging

southwest of the strait

consistent with those
of three large vessels.

Son of a bitch,
took you long enough.

♪♪

Captain Aguilar, Señor Fuentes,
this is Nathan James.

We have sonobuoy signals

at groups Kilo,
Sierra, and Echo.

Captain Aguilar,

we have three unidentified
contacts heading our way.

I say again,
we have three contacts.

Aguilar:Copy that, Admiral.

Mexico is prepared
to engage.

May God
be with us all.

♪♪

♪♪

Third group of sonobuoys
is pinging south southwest,

bearing 2-5-0.
OOD,
come to course 2-7-0.

OOD, aye.
Helm, come to course 2-7-0.

Helm, aye,
coming to course 2-7-0.

All teams,
Gustavo's fleet

has adjusted course
five degrees.

Aguilar,
if they maintain course...

all three ships
are set to split our line.

Copy that,Nathan James.

Can you ID
any of those vessels?

Sir, I'm unable to identify them
off the sonobuoy markers.

And they're still too far
away for me to analyze
their signatures on radar.

Holler as soon
as you do.

I want to know
what we're up against.

Yes, sir.

Dufine: And what if
this doesn't work?

Kindkaid:
Mexico could fall

and I just sent 900 troops into
potential hostile territory.

My men could be marching
alongside the very troops

ordered to shoot them
in the back.

Latest Intel does indicate a
growing rift within the country,

but for now, Northern Mexico
is standing strong

against Gran Colombia.

"For now" being
the operative phrase here.

To answer your question,
General Dufine,

if this doesn't work,
I plan to retreat out of Mexico

and back
to the Rio Grande.

After which, I suppose,
I'll be popping by

the President's office
to fall on the sword.

Master Chief...

how long
have you been in the Navy?

Just north of 30 years, ma'am,
27 at sea.

So maybe
you can tell us.

What are the odds a smallboy
and two allied gunboats

can defeat
an enemy fleet?

Well, I stood
on the bridge of that smallboy

while she took out
a Chinese fleet,

a Greek fleet,
an Astute-class submarine,

and a Russian
nuclear battleship,

each time without
an allied gunboat in sight.

So when we talk aboutNathan James,ma'am,

there's no such thing
as odds.

Sir, the first,
smaller virus --

The servo-motor
instructions.

Right,
the servo-motor instructions

manipulated one of
the satellite dishes

on the roof
of this building,

shifting it
.125 degrees to the west.

Now, a movement like that
is small but significant.

Enough to redirect
the dish

toward another satellite
within close orbit to our own.

And we wouldn't
even notice.
Clayton: Once the enemy
satellite connected,

it sent the second virus
into our system.

In that moment,
we became a Botnet, sir,

unwittingly
relaying the virus

across the entire
military network.

Alisha: And for
a good three minutes,

the enemy had total access
to our computer systems,

so they knew exactly
where our fleet was.

And they timed it perfectly
to shut us down

just as their attack planes
would've shown up

on our
early-warning radar.

Yes, sir.
How did they get
the primary virus

into our building
in the first place?

I'm still
not able to tell you

how our firewalls
were breached, sir,

but I'm confident
I will.

♪♪

Don't want to create
an outbreak of panic.

Find out
how we were compromised.

Do it quickly
and quietly.

Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.

♪♪

First ship has cleared
the sonobuoys.

They're in
column formation.

Safe to assume they have us
on radar by now.

We head west
and they follow.

Gustavo's lead ship will
hit the minefield straight on.

OOD, come to course 2-6-5,
all ahead full.

ODI.

Helm, come to course 2-6-5,
all ahead full.

Bell: Helm, aye,
all engines ahead full,

coming to course 2-6-5.

[ Engines whirring ]

♪♪

Admiral,
they've adjusted course.

Now heading
north northwest.

[ Grunts ]

♪♪

Detonation detected.

Their lead ship was just hit
by a Mexican mine.

Nice job, Aguilar.

That should light a fire
under their asses.

Fire control, stay frosty.
Aye, sir.

Nathan James,this is Captain Aguilar,

confirming Alpha contact
is dead in the water

and sinking fast.

Gator: Ships Bravo and Charlie
have adjusted course

away from the minefield
now heading southwest.

Captain Aguilar, have your
land battery at the ready.

They've headed for the shallows
near Cozumel for cover.

Copy,
Admiral Chandler.

Mexico's land battery
is standing by.

Kara:
CIC, Captain.

Keep an eye on those buoys
in case they double back.

If the markers on either flank
start to give us a return,

they've split their force
east and west.

Man:T.A.O., aye.

I will alert
the Commander-in-Chief.

[ Telephone rings ]
Commander?

What's wrong,
Ensign?

Ma'am,
our keycards.

That's how they sneaked
the original virus

into the building.

Each chip
contains 400k of RAM.

Only half of that's
actually used to open the doors.

But there's still 200k
of unused junk.

All someone had to do
was replace the junk RAM

with machine code.

And when the card
came in contact

with the
security system,

it delivered the code
that turned our satellite dish.

It wormed its way
into the system

and into
the servo-motor controls.

These cards
are the only electronic element

that doesn't go
into a Faraday cage.

I do know it happened
at 2:16 p.m.,

two days
before the attack.

That much is embedded
into the code, here.

But that doesn't explain

how the virus got into the card
in the first place.

Well, the ID badges
are low-wattage bluetooth.

To hack in,
all it takes

is for the card to be within
18 inches of the wrong computer,

networked machine,
or even a cellphone,

and boom,
now you have it.

Kelsi:Now you have it.

It's crazy,
right?

It's gonna take me days to
sort through all the real code

and junk code
in everyone's cards
