Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Orinoco - full transcript

The U.S. Special Activities team lands in Venezuela where Jack's intel leads them to a militia guarded compound. Deep in the jungle, Jack's search for answers puts the whole team in danger....

Close it up.

You know, the SOC-R
would've been a better boat

for the river work.

What boat?

We're not even
supposed to be there.

So, where are we going?
Central or South America?

Who said anything
about our destination?

You asked me how my Spanish was,
remember?

And I didn't think we were
invading Mexico anytime soon.

I'm a little rusty.

I'll manage.



Well, you better hurry up
and get on that plane

if you want to get
a window seat.

What's your name?

Marcus.

No, your call sign.

Mine's Coyote.

And that, uh, piece of shit
over there, that's Disco.

Black Mamba.

Like Uma Thurman
in, uh, Kill Bill?

- No, like Kobe.
- Yeah, that sucks.

Not gonna work.
You're a boat guy, right?

- Yeah, SWCC.
- All right.

- So, you, uh, you're a driver?
- Yeah.

Uber.



That's your name.

Ub... Fuck that. Black Mamba.

Yeah, sorry, Uber,
but your name's fucking Uber.

Two minutes!

- Ten klicks from drop zone.
- Roger that.

Hey!

What's with the nerves?
You've done this before.

Yeah, all the time.

You'll be fine.

- Just like riding a bike.
- Oh, yeah?

Not really,
but I thought you could use

a little confidence booster.

Where'd you get that bling from?

It's my dad's ring.
The Naval Academy.

Well, hang on to it, man.
Might come in handy

in case you need to knock
a motherfucker out or something.

Approaching drop zone.

- Let's go, motherfucker!
- Yeah!

Whoo! Yeah! Let's go!

Let's go, bitches!

- Geronimo!
- Whoo!

You better hurry up or
you're gonna have a long swim!

Oorah, motherfucker!

Oh, fuck.

Gotcha, boss.

Hey, new guy.
There's a hole in the boat.

- His name's Uber.
- No, it's not.

Uber. I like that one.

Thank you.

Shit. The electronics got wet.

Guys, we're better than
20 klicks offshore.

That's a long swim.

Fiberglass crack,
but I can fix it.

How long's it gonna take
to un-fuck this?

Everybody off the boat.

You want it to sink?

Everybody get
the fuck off the boat.

Let's go! Off the boat!

Through the tireless efforts
of our esteemed police force...

I'm pleased to announce

- that the brutal killers of U.S. Senator Jaime Moreno...
- Jesus Christ.

- Can't believe anyone's buying this shit.
- have been captured.

How's the interrogations coming?

More than 50 locals
work in that building.

We're interrogating all of them.
Love to tell you

that none of them are spies
for Reyes,

- but that's just not the case.
- Well, your ex is putting on

- one hell of a show.
- Yep.

She does her job well.

- How's your back?
- I'll be fine.

I got people
checking all the hospitals

for anyone with an injury
to the left eye.

- Jim, how you feeling?
- I'm good.

They took off
before I got there.

Ryan got the worst of it.

All right. Take a walk with me,
both of you.

You got to know
this is bullshit.

The F.A.I.
is a tiny leftist militia.

Anti-Americanism
isn't even in their DNA.

I agree.

Ambushing U.S. senators
in downtown Caracas

is not their style or skill set.

Which is why, as far as
headquarters is concerned,

I never saw the memo they sent
telling us to stand down.

You met José.

- Sir.
- This is Navarro.

They're gonna roll with us
down to the waterfront.

Waterfront?

You go down to the cargo port,

you run into
some shady South African dude,

then you get jumped and
nearly killed out of the blue?

Just seems like
we ought to go check it out.

Esperanza...

can you help me get juice
for the kids?

Gracias.

Ham again, Mom?

I'm sick of it.

You love ham...

You asked for it yesterday.

That was yesterday.

So what happened
between yesterday and today?

I don't want it today.

Ily, be grateful.
We're lucky to have ham.

There are many people
in this country

- that don't have enough to eat.
- Hmm?

Make them eat the ham.

Enough.

Today you eat ham.
Tomorrow you can choose.

We're ready, Mrs. Bonalde.

Don't forget your juice.

Let's go.

Hey, Ily...

Come here, my love.

I love you.
Have a good day.

Carlos! Come here!

- Are you leaving without saying goodbye
to your mother? -

I love you.

- Learn a lot.
- I will.

Bye, Mom.

Good morning, Alberto.

Make sure everyone gets
a sandwich.

Buenos días.

- Good morning, Rodrigo.
- Good morning, Mrs. Bonalde.

I love ham!

You'd better.

How are we doing?

Incredible.

Reyes's numbers are falling...

and we are up four more points
since last week.

Some of the papers are saying
you could actually win.

Not in this country.

Not the papers in Venezuela,
but in Peru...

Colombia, Argentina...

¿Señora?

Did you hear me?

We're in this.

Said you got to wear
your vest and the badge.

Morten Haugland?

Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

All right, just park here.

Cinco Palmas is right there.

Hey.

- How's he doing?
- Ryan? What do you mean?

He and the senator were close.
Is this too personal for him?

No, he can handle it.

We were on the Suleiman
task force together.

And?

He's the one that ran Suleiman
down in the Metro.

He shot him and killed him.

Well, they were fucking
organized, whoever they were.

They even swept the floors.

All right,
let's get out of here.

We know they went upriver.

My S.A.D. guys just got
in theater a couple hours ago.

They're standing by
at the mouth of the Orinoco.

- Wait. You got a boat?
- Yeah, and four guys.

- You didn't say anything.
- You didn't ask.

They gave me an eight-digit grid
for a rally point in the jungle.

I'm gonna meet them, then go
upriver to the cargo depot.

All right, well,
then I'm coming with you.

Mike.

You're chief of station.

Yeah.
Extra manpower won't hurt.

I want sitreps
every couple hours, minimum.

Of course.

I'm driving.

Did I tell you
how much I miss you?

Not yet.

So, I can be Black Mamba now?

We'll upgrade you
to Uber Select.

Whoa!

You enjoy the quinceañera?

It was quite the party.

What did Esmeralda think?

She loved it.

Most importantly,
Claudia was happy.

Who told you
I was under surveillance?

Bastos.

How would he know?

You undervalue him.

No.

I value him exactly
as he should be valued.

Why didn't you tell me
about the American senator?

Tell you what?

I didn't kill him.

Then why
the coerced confessions?

Perhaps you can do my job
better than me?

Isn't that what
you and Cassandra said?

Fuck.

No, no.

- Did you say it?
- No, I didn't say it!

I was angry.

You've always valued my counsel.

Yes.

But unlike you...

I don't have the luxury
of being self-righteous.

It's okay. I know you're
under a great deal of stress.

I know.

You remember when we were kids
back in Catia?

We had to go to mass
every Sunday...

They forced us to pray...
how'd it go?

Oh Most Holy Virgin
of Coromoto...

Mother of Mercy...

We entrust to You the
beloved nation of Venezuela.

And after mass
everyone would put

an offering outside their house.

Some fruit, food,
anything they had.

Even rum.

And one day...

you caught me
stealing the offerings...

You were starving.

We both were.

Yes, but that
didn't matter to you.

You made me give it all back,
house by house.

You told me:

"Venezuela is our family,
Miguel."

Remember?

Nicolás...

Even as a child...

you felt responsible
for Venezuela.

And I'll continue to do so.

Always.

Yes.

I know.

We're here.

Thank you, Rodrigo.

Good morning.
How are you?

Thank you very much
for being here.

Good morning, guys.

Love seeing you here.

I want you to know
Venezuela stands with you!

Thank you very much,
and thank you for being here.

Gracias.

Buenos días.

They're waiting for you, Gloria.

Muchas gracias.
Buenos días.

Thank you for being here.

- Will you take a picture with me?
- Of course.

- Thank you.
- Sorry, we're late.

Good morning.
How are you?

Muchas gracias.

Buenas.

Hi, everyone.

Thank you so much for coming.

Thank you for being here.

Are you ready? You're just
going to go straight on.

What do you want me to do?

Perform a magic trick
to warm up the crowd?

Holy shit.

Do you believe me now?

They're here for you.

Gracias.

I told you...

We can win!

Sí. Sí, sí, sí.

Okay, I better go.
Thank you.

My people...

When I decided to run
for President...

I did it as a protest.

I did it for myself...

and in honor of Sergio,
my husband...

who went missing one night and I
haven't seen him in over a year.

So I think you all very much
for being here.

President Reyes talks of change.

About a revolution.

But he doesn't really want
a revolution.

President Reyes
doesn't want you...

to notice the dozens
of missing patriots

just like Sergio.

Who disappeared because
they refused to be silent.

He doesn't want to hear about
the pain we feel from hunger.

From diseases.

From corruption in Venezuela!

But he forgot
one important thing...

Our history.

Simón Bolivar once said:

"People who love freedom...

will in the end always be free!"

And this...

this is our country...

and we will take it back!

The people united
will never be defeated!

So how you feeling?

I'm fine.

Anything you want
to talk to me about?

No.

Here, I think you dropped these.

If there was something
you needed to know,

I'd tell you.

All right. Let's go.

These damn mosquitoes.

They're not even touching you.

I'm a Louisiana boy.

In Turkey, you said
you were from Cincinnati.

Are you that fucking
gullible, Bright Boy?

I'm from Belle Chasse,
just outside of New Orleans.

Got the bayou in my veins.

Well, that doesn't really matter
'cause mosquitoes are attracted

to carbon dioxide,
not place of origin.

Well, contrary
to popular opinion,

mosquitoes have
tremendous visual acuity.

They love color.

- Is that true?
- Yeah.

They don't fuck with me
because they know the truth.

What is the truth?

I bite back.

Here we go.

El Jefe is in the house.

All right, Uber,
swing us around up here, okay?

I sincerely hoped I would not
see you motherfuckers again.

Yeah, likewise.

And you,
Mr. Doctor of Economics,

who never sent me
a fucking stock tip.

The secret is to get yourself a
really good S&P 500 index fund.

Telling me you dragged me
all the way up this river

to tell me I should buy

a fucking index fund?

Goddamn.

On top of that,
I didn't bring any bug spray.

- Here. Take mine.
- Oh, thanks.

Oh, you bite back?

Little Miss Sunshine over here

is called Coyote.

This warrior princess is Disco.

Over here we got Uber Duber.

He'll take us wherever we want
to go. Isn't that right, Uber?

- Whatever he says.
- Okay.

Let's be clear.

This is ISR only.
No cowboy stuff.

Do not fire
unless fired upon, okay?

Got it?

In. Out. Rinse. Repeat.

Once we're inside, we'll open up
one or two containers,

look for illegal arms shipments.

Ryan here will check
the rad levels.

I'll take some photographs.

The rest of you
are perimeter security.

Then we go home.

No one will ever know
that we were even here.

Any questions?

As you all know,

we have no air support;
that means this boat

is our only way
in and out of the jungle.

Entonces, there's no room
for fuckups, kids.

All right, let's do this.

This is nice...

being here with you
on a work night.

Is something wrong, Miguel?

Our house is bugged.

They're listening to everything.

Who's listening?

I don't know.

Nicolás says
it's the Americans...

I don't know what to believe.

So what do we do?

- Do we tell Maria?
- No. No, no, no.

We should act as if
everything is normal...

but we need to watch
what she says,

especially when
it comes to Nicolás.

I don't want a target
on her too.

Why would there be
a target on her?

Nicolás is her uncle.

He would never let anything
happen to Maria.

We're giving our rights
to the State.

So that it will take care of us.

But that's not the point.

The question is...

why do people like the State?

See?

- Look what you started.
- So what?

Let's be clear.
The world is very violent.

And I think
the people need to feel

that someone is protecting them.

Max Weber.

- Max Weber. Max Weber.
- Max Weber. -Huh?

You know his definition
of the State, right?

An organization that holds

the exclusive rights
to use, threaten...

or authorize physical force

against residents
of its territory.

That monopoly...

determines its power.

Someone get the man
some more wine!

No, if you give him more,
he'll keep talking!

There it is!

Cheers, friends!

Okay, up here.

They must've moved most of
the containers to higher ground.

The water on this part
of the river's unpredictable,

so it makes sense
they'd move things inland.

According to the sat
photos, the main camp

is 400 meters northwest of here.

Okay, Uber, swing us around.

Drop us 500 meters south.

Well, I've got some bad news.

Radios got fucked on the drop.

So we'll go without comms.

Copy that.

If we get separated,
y'all stay put.

These IR beacons are gonna lead
us right to your location.

Okay.

Hey, since we ain't got comms,

you see us coming,
you got to be ready to jet.

- You copy?
- Copy.

Good.

Okay.

See those containers
at the edge of the camp?

We could get in and out.

Move.

What does the Geiger say?

Nothing.

What the fuck is this?

Somebody's coming.

Doc, we got to go now.

Shit.

Go.

Wait.

There's more containers.

There's no weapons, Doc.

You made a bad call.
It's time to go.

Where in the fuck is he going?

Ryan.

Ammonium nitrate.

Oi!

Come here!

You.

Put your hands on your head.

Still looking
for your coffee beans?

Are you alone?

Nope.

Put your gun down.

Slowly.

Doc.

You cover this shit whistle?

Look at what we found.

Hook him up.

Who are you?

Listen to me.

What is Reyes doing
in the jungle?

Yo, let's smoke this
motherfucker and bounce.

He's an unarmed combatant.
We're not just gonna kill him.

Well, we sure as shit

ain't gonna bring him with us.

We don't have time for this.
You heard my friend.

What are you doing
in the jungle?

Fuck you.

All right.

Fuck me?
Which hand do you shoot with?

Huh?

- Holy shit.
- Any more noise

and I'll take another one.

You wanted to know
who he is, right?

DNA.

- Get on your knees.
- Let's go.

Shit.

You all right?

- I'm fine. Get on the fucking boat.
- Come on, we got to go.

I told you, I'm fine.

I told you,
I don't work for you anymore.

Let's go.

Don't let them
get back to the river!

Go!

Here they are!

Fire!

Contact rear!

Got 'em at the wall!

Stay close to the wall!
Stay close, stay close!

Move! Move! Get across!

Move!

Fuck!

Shit.

Come on.

Uber, fire up
the fucking engine!

Uber!

The fuck is he?

Where the hell is Uber?

We'll come back for him.

From what I've heard,
Gloria Bonalde...

has the support of the people.

Some polls even show that she
could possibly win the election.

Thank you, Mateo.

You may go.

Yes, Mr. President.

What was that about?

Miguel...

tell me the truth.

Gloria Bonalde...

Is there any chance
she can win this election?

Going to drop you and Ryan off,

and then we're going back
for Uber.

Sounds good.

What happened back there...

We came here
to search containers.

So that's what I did.

I have a heart condition.

And it's not a good diagnosis.

That's the reason why
I left Moscow.

Who else knows?

Chief of station in Moscow.

And you.

If the higher-ups found out
about this,

they'd put me on a desk
or force me into retirement.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know.
