(JET ENGINES WHINE)

Load flight deck, one hour out.

Prepare for landing. Get passengers up.

Roger.

Hey, buddy. Goin' down, one hour.

MAN: That's it. We're on the schedule.

How long is our flight? Oh, I don't know.

(SHOUTING IN DISTANCE)

You Tucker?

They told me to run you straight to command. Let's go.

Good to see you again, bro.

(TENSE MUSIC)

These guys are from the State Department, right.

MAN: Destroy everything.

(CHATTER) Let's go.

Chief. Ah...

Here they are!

Well, well, well. From one mess to another.

Sorry about Riley. Yeah.

Tough break.

This is Clay. Best replacement I could find on short notice.

Bit of a hotshot, but a promising kid.

Yo.

Hamid was afraid Tali would ID him,

so he sent his family here on their own.

They got rejected by some greenhorn Marine

that didn't know the code.

Hamid deserves a Medal of Honor. We can't even fly him out?

Let's not point fingers, eh? Hamid was one of our own. CHARLIE: Damn straight.

His wife made quite a fuss, probably got made.

Don't know how long we have until they track his hideout.

Since then, Taliban has entirely surrounded his neighbourhood.

No vehicles getting through.

Too many checkpoints.

Five miles, more or less.

Any questions?

Then let's save them.

COLONEL: You guys been here before. Think up a way in already?

Gettin' in's the easy part.

It's the gettin' out that's hard.

(PILLS RATTLE)

What you got there? Boner pills? I wish!

I got these migraines lately.

Feels like an ice pick against my eardrum.

Anyhow, you need something?

I was looking for the MON. Oh, sorry.

Wasn't enough time for proper conduct.

I cleared it up top, though. Title 50.

That's how you got yourself pulled out of Yemen.

Copy that.

(UNSETTLING MUSIC)

BRUCE: Might get some looks, hotshot. You're givin' me a hard-on.

CLAY: Don't test me, little man. TUCKER: Quiet down.

Salam alaikum. Wa alaikum assalam.

(VEHICLES APPROACHING)

(VEHICLES STOP)

(HANDBRAKE RATCHETS)

(CHATTER IN PASHTO)

TUCKER: 33 to 10. Do you copy? Go for 10.

Tell the old man that the nest has been taken.

Come again, 33?

The nest is swarming with flies.

I count about 30.

Can you still deliver the package?

The package is being moved as we speak.

(MAN GRUNTS)

That can't happen. Either we open it or no one does.

(MEN SHOUT ANGRILY NEARBY)

Can you strike it?

Clear out, 33. We got a bird on your location.

WOMAN: Hamid!

Negative. Hold. The family is there.

WOMAN: Hamid!

TUCKER: I repeat, the family is on premises.

(ARGUING)

33...

I hate to ask you... God knows I hate to ask you.

ALEX: Don't do it, boss.

LARRY: "33, do you copy?"

"33?"

(SHOUTING)

33?

Hey, I can do it.

Shut up. I don't know him.

No.

(SHOUTING)

(URGENT SHOUTING)

Change of plans. Assault forward. Roger that.

What the fuck is he doing? His job.

Charlie, on me. Alex, push right.

MATT: On your six, Alex. Let's bring him back, boys.

ALEX: Keep right! On me!

MATT: Coming up! Coming up! Coming up!

TUCKER: Go, go, go, go! Move, move, move.

On you, on you!

Move, move, move!

(GUNMAN GRUNTS) Move it!

Come on, come on.

CHARLIE: Moving up.

ALEX: Take Cover!

Fucking go!

(TUCKER GROANS)

ALEX: Take cover!

Somebody get an angle on that. MATT: I'm going. Moving.

ALEX: No, wait!

(MATT SCREAMS) ALEX: Matt!

MATT: I'm hit! TUCKER: Hang on, Matt.

(MATT GROANS) TUCKER: Hang on!

Matt's down. Matt's down.

It's a fucking disaster. Get me INSCOM on the line.

Shut it or clear out.

BRUCE: Move in! On your right. On your right.

Hang in there, Matt!

(GROANS)

TUCKER: "Go, go, go!"

50 cals down!

BRUCE: Come on, come on. Come on. I got you.

(MATT GROANS)

TUCKER: They're moving Hamid! They're moving Hamid!

TUCKER: I'm going after him. Move, move!

Check fire. Check fire. Check fire!

Check fire! Check fire.

Check fire.

(MAN GROANS)

(HAMID GROANS)

Take it out. The car. Take it out.

COLONEL: Negative. He's too close.

(GUNSHOT)

(GUNSHOT)

Hey, hey. Mission's over. We're leaving.

The wife and kids. She'll find a new man.

We gotta get Matt to the hospital right now. Let's go.

BRUCE: Alex! Help me out! Don't go in the house.

(PRESSES BUTTON) Don't go in the...

BRUCE: Charlie, stay under cover. Son of a bitch.

Goin' back for Matt. Hell.

TUCKER: Prep for exfil. We're heading inside.

Roger that. Breathe.

Oh, fuck!I'm gonna get us some wheels out of here. You got him?

I got him. I'm gonna get you out of here, Matt.

Tie it. Tie it fucking tight! Breathe.

MATT: Fuck!

(WOMAN SCREAMS)

(SCREAMING FROM UPSTAIRS)

(URGENT CHATTER)

TUCKER: You good? CLAY: Yeah. I'm good.

(CHILD SCREAMS) I think I'm good.

(GRUNTING)

Allahu Akbar! (GUNSHOT)

CHARLIE: We got you, baby. You good?

Yup. You good. Here we go.

(EXHALES) (MATT GROANS)

ALEX: I got you, brother. Fuck! Argh!

You happy now?

(MUFFLED WHIMPER)

Leave him. He's a kid.

We might not make it back and I don't need another dead kid on my conscience.

He's young. They'll take him in. He'll grow up with his own.

Now get moving.

(BOY SOBS)

10, you read?

LARRY: "Go for 10."

We're coming back hard with a waffle.

No time for stops. I need that diversion ASAP.

And the package?

Sealed.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(EXHALES)

Copy.

Wait a second. What diversion? I don't answer to you, Colonel.

Take it up with Congress!

(HELICOPTER WHIRS)

Open up, damn it! Come on. Now! (TOOTS HORN)

Closing! Closing!

ALEX: Look at me! Look at me!

Clay, how's Matt doing back there?

JONES: Clear, clear, clear.

Go!

Go! Go, go, go!

(CHATTER)

Shit. Get ready.

ALEX: What are we doing, boss? How are we looking, chief?

TUCKER: "We need this." Do it now.

OK. Now, get out. What?

Get out! Jesus.

Where are you going? To hell! Move!

What the hell is he doing?

Open the goddamn gate!

(URGENT CHATTER IN PASHTO)

CHARLIE: You seeing this? I think they're buying it.

TUCKER: There they go.

(ALL LAUGH)

Fucking idiots.

Man down! Man down!

I called for an evac. Get him stable and on the bird.

CHARLIE: OK, on two. (GROANING)

Go. There you go. Be careful. Careful. Careful.

Fucking cowboys! Cocksucking 007 wannabe shitheads.

You think you can just waltz in here and pull our assets

against orders from your superiors?

I just got off the phone with the director of operations at INSCOM.

Langley told Larry to stand down. This whole thing was rigged by him.

Completely unauthorised, and you just created a shit storm out there.

Oh, you didn't know?

Unbelievable.

Where is Larry? Took the car and bailed.

He, uh... He said he was going to hell.

Thought he was going after you guys.

You have an ambulance?

Take us there. Like hell he will.

You're not going anywhere.

You're going in my report. Now.

You guys are done. Fucking done!

Go fuck yourself, Colonel.

(SIREN WAILS)

Two rights, then a left.

TUCKER: Roger that.

How'd you know he was here? Tracker in the car.

ALEX: These beauty salons were brothels, Tucker.

Looks like Tali shut them down. Yeah.

(TENSE MUSIC)

CLAY: Clear.

(DOOR SQUEAKS)

Clear.

LARRY: Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners...

..now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

I was too late. We were all too late.

Not who I thought he was.

This is Dinaris. She's from Kyrgyzstan.

She was my best source of intel on foreign actors.

And I couldn't even get her a visa.

Our bosses at DCI told me to stand down on Hamid.

Do nothing. You believe that?

(SCOFFS) "Do nothing." That was my directive. Hmm.

(SOBS)

Shit.

Shit. Shit.

Another migraine?

It's ringing so loud it's like I'm inside a church bell.

(GROANS)

I just can't...can't make it stop.

It's all gone upside down, Tucker boy.

Every time, it's Saigon all over again.

We just leave 'em hanging and move on to the next fucking circus.

We killed him.

He gave us everything and we just...

..put him down like a dog.

Get out. Get out, all of you, while you still can.

It's all a waste of your blood and tears.

(LAUGHS)

Might as well start learning Chinese.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, God.

# Oh, say, can you see

# By the dawn's early light

# Whose broad stripes and bright stars

# Through the perilous fight

# And the rockets' red glare

# The bombs bursting in air

# Gave proof through the night

# That our flag was still there... #

(PHONE BUZZES)

Hey. Hey, Tucker.

Hey, Gina. I'm glad you're here.

Good to see you.

So what is it, dementia?

They're not entirely sure. Could be Alzheimer's.

How bad are we talking?

He's shooting his mouth off. Brain's on autopilot

and we have no control over what's gonna come out next.

Before we brought him home, he was running codes to the nurses.

They thought it was gibberish. The psychiatrist called us.

So your name's come up a few times.

We were hoping that maybe you could jog his memory.

Hey, Ash.

(LARRY MUTTERS) (KNOCK AT DOOR)

What's the score, chief? How we feelin'?

Larry, honey.

It's Tucker, remember?

You said you wanted to see him.

Who are YOU, darlin'?

I'm your wife, Gina.

You can be my wife if you want. I remember one time in Nepal...

OK. Um, maybe...maybe... maybe give us a minute.

..Shelby. He was always a bastard.

God, was she beautiful. But I love him anyway.

What are YOU looking at, boy?

Somebody looks at me like that when I was young...

Yeah. I knew you when you were young.

You did?

Wait. Wait. Hell, I didn't recognise you.

Thomas. Thomas.

That's right.

Yeah. Thomas. You remember me.

Thomas, my boy.

I haven't seen you since... How are you?

Did you find her?

I, uh... I tried. I tried, but she was gone.

Oh, Fariba. What an intellect.

You think she took the money?

You know, I don't know. What do YOU think?

No, she loved you. Yeah.

What was it? Twen... 20? 25?

25, yeah. 25.

25? Million.

For the counterrevolution.

We were gonna start it, remember? Me, you, and Fariba.

Oh, what a day that was.

The embassy went down.

We got out...

got out and put it in the wall.

Room...705.

705. Yeah, yeah. 705. Took us all damn night.

Fariba helped us, and then we left. But we were gonna go back.

We were gonna go back where? What do you mean WHERE?

Hotel Tehran. We... We... We were gonna do it in '81.

'80...'81. '81.

And then we realised there wasn't gonna be any counterrevolution.

And then... And then you died on me, Thomas.

You went back for her first and then you died.

You... You died. What are you doing here?

You're dead.

Thomas, you're...

Nurse. Nurse! Nurse!

Who... Who is he?

TUCKER: So who's Thomas? JAMES: Jesus.

The mysteries of the mind.

He and Larry worked together in Tehran.

His name's in the Book of Honor.

Never recovered his body, though.

When was that? What year was that? '81, I think.

He disappeared in Iran.

This is why I tell you guys, never fall in love with an asset.

And the asset? Who knows? Or cares?

He mentioned something about money. Forget it.

It's a jumble of wires in there.

Maybe there's something in there that can trigger something in him.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

JAMES: I collected all I could.

Most of this has been approved for release in the last three years.

Some of it could still get me fired, though.

Some interesting shit on there. Perhaps his brain isn't ALL gone.

She's a political activist.

The asset.

She's still alive.

(SPEAKS FRENCH)

TUCKER: Merci.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

Mrs Rajevi, Samuel Pierce.

Liberty National Magazine.

Thomas' old cover. Clever.

My press agent told me about your request.

Certainly made me curious.

Do you remember Larry Thompson, Mrs Rajevi?

How could I forget? A real charmer, Larry.

Always had an angle,

but he loved Thomas like a brother.

Well, Larry is not doing so well. I was with him last week.

He started talking about 1979, Thomas, you, and Hotel Tehran.

Room 705. So you were there?

They couldn't speak a word of Farsi. Someone had to check them in.

Then in '81, after Thomas was killed,

I was arrested and deported.

Never had the opportunity to go back.

Yes. Well, I've checked with all of my sources,

and there doesn't seem to be a Hotel Tehran.

There never was. It was just a code name we used.

A code name for what?

I have a daughter...

born here in Paris to activist parents.

When she was little, her father filled her mind with hope.

Of regime change? Socialist democracy in Iran.

The IRGC has just issued a warrant for her arrest.

She's in hiding now near Tehran.

I don't know how long she has until they find her.

Bring my daughter back...

..and I will tell you where Hotel Tehran is.

And the money?

Do you have kids, Mr Pierce?

I have one.

If you thought you would never see your child again,

and then someone made it possible for you...

..what would that be worth to you?

TROY: Bye.

(HORN TOOTS)

Alright. OK.

PETER: Love you. Alright. Love you too.

(MATT GROANS)

THERAPIST: That's good.

I got you.

Keep going.

(WHISPERS) Hey.

It's tough.

They amputated over the knee. And now what?

Katy had mentioned that there's a...

..a new...you know, type of operation or something else...

No. I appreciate you guys sending money and all that,

but we can't afford it.

Also, you can't go on the water with that.

You can't swim.

I like to swim.

I served my country for 17 years.

Alex did about the same.

Charlie and Bruce pulled 12, and you, what, went 22?

Yeah.

And Larry?

Larry was a lifer. He started in 'Nam, so 50 years.

50?

Then they just wrote us off.

No severance package. No nothing.

I lost my leg to SAVE Hamid, not KILL him.

I can't stop thinking about that.

I'm sorry, man.

I know you did what you thought was right back then.

I was right there with you.

You're right to be angry.

(CHILDREN LAUGH)

GIRL: Go faster, go faster!

BOY: Stop.

Got you! Yah!

Got you. Head shot.

(GUN CLICKS) Who's that guy?

Easy, Papa Bear.

Tucker?!

The farm's a disaster. (CHUCKLES)

I thought about growing cannabis, but you know how restless I am.

Linda's job's good, though. Keeps us going.

She's a good woman.

LINDA: Hey kids, dinner. Come on.

BOY: Aw, man. Come on, come on.

Hey, baby doll. She's the best.

You know what? I think this was a mistake.

I think I should go. Hey. Hey. Wait a second.

Wait a second. Talk to me, man.

I'm dying here. You got it good.

I wasn't thinking straight.

You know, I'm 39 years old, and I already feel useless.

Whatever you got, I need it.

(METAL TARGETS DING)

What the hell? (CHUCKLES)

What are YOU doing here? All the reapers come here.

Wanna spot me? Sure.

Spotter up.

Good. Send it.

(INHALES)

(EXHALES SLOWLY)

So you get that medal yet?

No, man. Same old shit.

Africa? Ukraine.

How long you in the country? Couple months.

Hey, listen, man. I...

I never got the chance to, um, you know...

Why'd you clear me from the fallout in Afghanistan?

Cos you weren't done yet.

Me and my guys, it was over for us. I was doing them a favour.

It ain't right what they did to you. No one wanted to listen.

But YOU spoke up. I mean, that was more than most.

What?

How much leave you got coming up?

Ah...

I'm... I'm due.

But what for?

(DANCE MUSIC BLARES)

(PARTY CHATTER)

(MUSIC DROWNS SPEECH)

Oh, shit!

(BRUCE LAUGHS)

CHARLIE: Are we getting the band back together or what?

BRUCE: So glad to see you!

So remind me again, what is it exactly you guys do now?

NFTs.

Right. What the fuck is an NFT?

It's uh...anything and everything.

We sell digital pieces of worthless shit.

That. I don't get it.

No one does. That's the beauty of it. It's a legal Ponzi scheme.

Oh, fun. Yeah.

So what do we owe this honour to?

TUCKER: So that's it.

We do some good, we get the final tip,

snag 25 million out of a wall, skate to Azerbaijan,

and then we split it seven ways with Gina and Matt.

We're gonna need a woman. Five foreigners roaming around Iran?

Play the couple card.

You and Alex look like two fucking Mormons, and Clay in Iran?

No offence, but it's back to the full burqa for you.

Yeah. I'll get one from your mom.

Can you volunteer an asset? No. I'll find someone.

There's no need for another insider. Just cover.

Wait. Who's funding this?

Nadir. He's gonna pay for most of it,

but we gotta put up some seed money. 50,000 each.

Oh, no fucking way. I got your share.

Uh-uh, no one's coming out of pocket.

Yeah, we got it. Seed money return.

PETER: Good morning. Yup.

SOPHIE: Are you hungry?

(SOPHIE GASPS)

I know. No, you don't.

Speak up. I gotta take Zoe to daycare in 15 minutes.

Uh, look, Sophie,

I've been going through some pretty dark mental stuff,

and I haven't been able to face him yet,

but I am getting there.

That's good(!) I'll let him know, next time he asks when he's gonna see his daddy again.

Can you please not do that? This is very difficult for me to explain.

I'm terrified that I'm gonna taint the boy.

It's been almost a year, Tucker.

I know you ain't working, because I humiliated myself and called some of our old friends.

I was really messed up when I came back here, OK?

I've needed time.

(EXHALES) That's new.

I'm not perfect. I've never claimed to be perfect.

But...correct me if I'm wrong, YOU walked out on us.

I didn't walk out on us. "Us"?

There was never us.

It was just you and your next op. Oh, here we go.

You know, you forget I was in this too,

but you insisted I quit so we could raise a family.

You never came back with blood on your hands.

I held down the fort, but the fort was always empty.

I was just one woman.

I could never compete with the fate of the free world.

No one can.

You done, sweetie?

Good girl.

I went to see Troy at school and I saw Peter dropping him off

and I thought to myself - Don't you dare badmouth Peter.

I thought, "Wow, Peter is the dad that he deserves."

Come here, sweetie.

I gotta take Zoe to daycare. What is it you want?

I have a huge favour to ask.

And it's only for Troy.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be here.

(HORN TOOTS)

These are some relevant girls the agency was considering.

A few potential desirables in there.

Look at you. Still irresistible.

Thank you so much. Thanks.

Ahh. That's nine.

I gotta leave soon. Still think seven was the one.

Mm, look who's here.

We are an exclusive import-export - luxury products.

Customer care is key,

so we're looking for candidates that are eloquent,

well-travelled, and multilingual.

Only women, though?

I have two kids, can't travel much,

and we need a woman's touch.

We wanna break into the rug business.

Your resume mentions that you speak Farsi.

Yes. I was born in Iran.

We moved to Germany when I was about eight years old and came here at 14.

(IN FARSI)

How do you identify? American or Iranian?

Persian. In my house, we spit on the current regime.

America was just as advertised, a dream come true.

What do you plan to do with your life, Zara?

Why'd you send your CV? I like to travel,

and your email said exciting job offer and high pay.

I don't know. Maybe I'm just naive. You don't seem naive.

Look. It's very simple.

I need to be able to move around Iran...freely,

and that's very difficult for a foreign man.

American, you mean? Kiwi, actually.

I'm from New Zealand, but I've been here a long time and lost the accent.

What exactly is this job?

We need you to pretend to be Rory's wife.

(SCOFFS)

You want me to marry him?

Like people do for a green card. Just for papers.

You pretend to be my wife for a few short trips

and act as a guide and translator.

That's it.

Wait a minute. Is this what I think it is?

You also approached my friend back in college, right?

No idea what you're talking about.

It's just a job offer.

I need to think about it. Sure. Then go think about it.

It was nice to meet you. Same.

Thank you.

So what'd you think?

I think she likes you. That's not what I asked.

I know. Something about her.

Too eager? Or maybe I'm just jealous.

She'll call back, but I still bet on seven.

I gotta go.

Peter's great, but you're his father.

You need to figure this out.

(TRADITIONAL INSTRUMENTS PLAY IN POP SONG)

(POP SONG PLAYS IN VEHICLE)

You sure you're not about to sell me to someone?

We just got married. You're the love of my life.

And I swear I will never let anyone hurt you.

(MELLOW MUSIC)

Hello, old friend. NADIR: Welcome to Baku, my brother.

Good to see you again. This is my wife, Zara.

Hi. Nice to meet you. Nadir. Nice to meet you.

Meet my wife, Leila. Leila. A pleasure.

Hey. Nice to meet you.

First time in Azerbaijan, yes?

Thank you.

NADIR: How many of you are crossing over by sea?

TUCKER: Two. But we will be six on the way out.

It could get rough on the water between Azerbaijan and Iran.

It's not our first rodeo, Nadir. It's not YOU I'm worried about.

Well...

..that's the end of my property, Tucker.

Far enough from your wife?

I would keep an eye on such a beautiful thing,

but I guess priorities...

Yes. Well...

..if I were YOU...

..I would keep my eye on this.

You want to become a magician?

(LAUGHS)

Sure. Something like that.

(GASPS) (HORSE WHINNIES)

What the fuck is this, Tucker?

A demonstration.

(GIVES ORDER IN HIS LANGUAGE)

Impressive. Why the show?

To remind you that I'm a man of my word.

We get in and we get out. You get paid, we go home.

But if you cross me, my ghost will find you.

He'll be in Baku when we come out, acting as my insurance.

25 million - in cash.

All bills unmarked. You'll get your three.

And the rest? The rest you will transfer in crypto

to our designated account.

My men will be in touch about the equipment and the boat.

(CHINESE ACCENT) We sell chips for mobile phones.

I'm the regional representative. Oh, that's Chinese.

TUCKER: Yeah. I vetted him. He's good.

(DISTANT CHATTER)

MEHDI: You can rest if you want. It's a three-hour drive.

TUCKER: So how do you know Maryam again?

MEHDI: She's a distant relative.

Fariba's husband was my mother's cousin.

Are you sure all of this is gonna be secure here?

Don't worry. This whole area belongs to my family.

(WHIRRING)

(WHIRRING STOPS)

Want some coffee?

Was I snoring? No. Surprisingly quiet, actually.

You're...not gonna tell me where you've been all night, right?

What am I REALLY doing here?

Or are you gonna keep me locked in the whole week?

I'm gonna jump in the shower, and then we're gonna go shopping.

Leave some of these out there.

(LIVELY CHATTER)

Don't ask too many questions. Just try it.

Thank you. Thank you.

Who is that? This our local partner, Abtin.

Salam. Salam.

Out again?

I'm starting to feel like a jealous wife.

Look, some of our imports come from outside of Tehran.

Small-town owners who don't want to be associated

with the West for obvious reasons.

So, Abtin and I have to deal with these guys at night.

Not the kind of places nor the kind of men you want to be around.

How do YOU know the kind of men that I want to be around?

Just get on the WiFi, search for rugs on local sites,

make some calls from here at the hotel, leave some messages...

and lock the door. I'll be back in the morning.

Yes, sir.

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

When did they get into Tehran? MEHDI: About an hour ago.

(WEAPON COMPONENTS CLICKING) Hey, chief.

You sure you want to keep her here?

There isn't even a toilet in this place.

Well, it's just for one night, and then we move her to a hotel.

MEHDI: She can't check into a hotel. She won't have to.

Charlie, where you get this feed? That's not a civilian set.

Ask him.

According to Mehdi, Maryam will be here tonight.

MEHDI: It's right here at the back.

Our network is sheltering about 40 women right now.

They are all facing imminent execution.

Do we know anything about the people she's gonna be staying with?

They've done this before and haven't been caught.

Oh, well, that's reassuring.

Maryam has a burner phone she's gonna turn on at 0200 for one hour.

Mehdi's gonna send her a coded text, then go pick her up.

We secure them, bring them here. Should be simple enough.

That's way too fast and loose in my book.

We should recce, figure the best in and out.

He's got a good point. They move her into a new place

every night now. That's the good and the bad.

Boys, it's this or you can go home. Oh.

Hey, this is the right thing to do. It's worth the risk.

It's just a whole lot of trust we're extending to this guy here.

Yeah, well, he's good. I vetted him. Yeah, with who?

If I wanted to betray you, I could have done this five times already.

Someone could have been waiting for you at the village.

The pick-up point, the bazaar, or even here.

The only reason I didn't bring her to the village yet...

was to protect you. Oh, he's got a good point, too.

So we stay in the car with getaway driver number one here,

and we only engage if it's the only option.

(SCOFFS) You got something to say?

Nah. Good. Saddle up.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(ENGINE OFF)

Thanks for coming to see me.

So, how'd it go?

All of us are now on administrative separation.

All of us except for the kid. That was the best that I could do.

I'm... I'm real sorry.

I...wish I could fix it.

I... I gotta fix this.

Drop it. We had to try. Nobody blames you.

Matter of fact, it was nice to see how much you cared.

You seen the doctor yet? (SCOFFS)

What do THEY know?

They're not optimistic.

The memory lapses are getting worse.

(LAUGHS)

Two days ago, I couldn't remember my wife's name

for half a day.

Look on the bright side.

You won't be remembering Kabul either soon enough.

Funny.

THAT I can't forget.

He was a brave man, Hamid.

Believed in what we were doing. Yeah, he did.

If you didn't take that shot,

they would have pulled out his nails one by one...

cut a limb, maybe,

until he gave them everything - other assets, their families.

Then they would have tied him to a pickup truck

and taken him for a ride.

You gave him a clean death - respectable.

If we don't see each other again, I want to ask you two things.

In the future, if you get an opportunity to do good, cherish it.

Don't be cynical like I was.

It all goes in the book.

(PHONE BUZZES)

ALEX: Who is it?

Talk to me. MEHDI: "I have a situation here.

She's not alone, and she doesn't want to come out

unless I take her friends with us."

Jesus Christ.

I'll be right there.

No, you're not.

You said you're not getting out of the car. We're not getting out the car.

Fuck.

What are you guys doing? CLAY: What it look like?

Alright.

Keep those guns hidden.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Maryam?

I... I cannot leave my sisters behind.

There's not enough room on the boat. I'm sorry.

So tell my mom I'm sorry, then.

This is my fate. Your fate?

You've already made way too much noise out there.

They will find you, break you, use you, and disappear you.

That is not how to save your sisters.

If you want to help them, you need to stay alive.

You all need to leave now.

Mehdi will take you to the next safe house. Let's go.

Wait a second.

Someone else could get them. I should stay with you and Maryam.

Each girl is someone's Maryam.

The more they stay on the run, the less the IRGC knows who we came for.

What are we doing, boss?

We're leaving. (TYRES SQUEAL)

Shit! I knew it.

CHARLIE: "You see this? We've got company."

(URGENT CHATTER) (SIREN WAILS)

Put a blindfold on her. OK.

And once we collect, I can get her back to you.

"(FARIBA EXHALES)"

What?

ALEX: This is bad.

Like run-for-the-hills bad.

You sure this is the right place?

Yeah. I checked. Three times.

Why didn't you tell the guys?

Because I didn't want to scare them off yet.

I just need a night, just one night.

If I can't come up with anything, then we walk.

OK, boss.

'(KNOCKING)' TUCKER: 'Zara.'

Zara. (GRUNTS)

I did. Well done. Thank you.

I picked you because when you're with me,

I don't think I even know your real name...

..but I liked you inside ten seconds.

..but I liked you inside ten seconds.

This is a mistake.

(CHATTER)

(TENSE MUSIC)

That's a lot.

Does this turn you on?

I'm gonna check us in.

OK.

I know I promised I wouldn't ask, but what are we doing?

I'm gonna need you to pack up all these clothes

and these extra burqas in the bag.

I'll be right back.

This is for your own good. Trust me.

Wow.

ALEX: Right here? Yeah.

Where are we going? I thought you're getting me out.

We will - in a day or two.

I'm sorry. I need you to put this on.

Fuck. What's going on? Shh.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to surprise you. I told you to leave.

Did anyone see you come up here? No.

Who is this woman? Salam.

This is Maryam.

Please help her get cleaned up. She's been through a lot.

She's cute. I can see how you got things twisted up.

I'm an idiot. I wasn't thinking.

It's OK to be human, boss.

I think I know her.

I've seen her post on Instagram before.

I'm gonna need you to stay here until we come back.

Do you think you can handle that?

Yes. Good.

Let's go.

(BRUCE LAUGHS)

You're fucking joking, right?

I wish I was, but in 1985,

the hotel was taken over by the Revolutionary Guard.

And that puta didn't think about telling you that before?

Would YOU? In HER shoes? Why didn't you tell us yesterday?

I needed time to think about it. This is where we bail.

I don't think so. It can be done. Those bastards are fair game.

All these ladies hiding in this town, these are who they're hiding from.

Hey. We done some good.

Let's cut our losses, get Maryam out -

Hey! You haven't heard the plan. I don't NEED to.

You wanna break into the IRGC.

I'm trying to save you from yourself.

Well, I wanna hear it.

(WHISPERS)

(SHELL CASING RATTLES)

(URINE TRICKLES)

If we do this, there's no turning back.

You guys get that, right? You saw what they did to Maryam.

The IRGC are a terror organisation. They're fucking terrorists.

Oh, yeah? And what are we? We're not the agency.

Other than that, I don't know. Every man has to decide for himself.

ALEX: Well, shit.

(CLAY SIGHS)

You asked me to tell you when you've gone too far, right?

This is so far beyond too far you need a goddamn spacesuit.

After seeing those poor women, I'd love to stick it to 'em.

"Too far" is where I wanna be.

(IN SPANISH)

Kemo sabe.

Alex, we can use you behind the wheel.

He calls our bluff, we walk. We don't hurt innocent people.

I wouldn't have it any other way. Clay, can you get the girls seaside?

If we make it, we make it. If we don't, you bug out.

Fair enough. CLAY: "Girls"?

Uh, Zara missed the train. (ALL LAUGH)

What about the equipment, building layout plans?

We need intel. Don't worry. I got friends.

Wait. You working with the short guys?

The hell y'all talking about? Who are the short guys?

(MARYAM GASPS)

Hi.

Where's Zara? She, um...

This is Kelly. He's gonna stay with you tonight,

and you're gonna travel with him tomorrow.

Travel where? Who is he? Give me a sec.

Listen to me.

This... This was a mistake, and I'm sorry.

But now your life is in danger, so from here on out, do as I say.

Are we clear? No.

You've dragged me into this and put my life at risk.

At least tell me the truth. What was it all for?

Maryam is an activist, OK?

If we don't move her out of here - and quickly -

we're all gonna get burned.

I can't risk you going across borders right now,

so YOU go where SHE goes, alright?

Where are YOU going?

You think it's easy getting a fugitive out of Iran?

It takes work, trust me.

It wasn't a mistake.

Next time, wear something that says yay-yay.

Listen. I needed to thank you for all your previous intel and support.

I really owe you one. Forget it.

It's on the house, amigo.

Why are you still here?

I was expecting a postcard from Paris.

Right. Well, I'm not quite done yet.

I can deliver you a top IRGC asset, and you can even help pick the guy.

I just need a little more help. Saving a nice girl, that's OK.

But now what?

I'm sorry, man. I... I feel terrible.

Do you think it was Mehdi? Nah. No way.

"Is he still there with you now?" Check.

We're about a mile from the exfil. Alright. Put him on.

Mehdi.

Yes?

Listen, I'm sorry. We failed you.

They're gonna find out about Maryam.

Listen carefully. Go to your village.

Tell everyone who wants to get out

to get to the airport bus zone in arrivals.

How... How can you get us all out? "Did you hear me?"

Yes."Then get moving and put my man back on."

What about Maryam? It's safer if she stays with you.

"Is the exfil compromised?"

I can't tell from here, but who knows?

"Alright. Keep your eyes peeled. We'll be there soon."

We can't save everyone, boss.

(ALL GRADUALLY START LAUGHING)

This is Nadir. He's sending a message.

Of course, he had a tracker on it. This is rich.

Wanna show me what we got for all our troubles?

Well, I'm not really sure how I can do that right here.

Can I help? I'm a photographer.

OK. Now, one by one. (CAMERA CLICKS)

Nadir might be a gangster, but we still need him.

I know. NADIR: "Yes?"

That was a nice magic trick you pulled. I paid for that boat.

You also promised me three million for my help.

"Now, Tehran is on fire, so tell me, Tucker, not to worry."

I can't hear you, Tucker.

I don't have the money, but I've got something more valuable.

What's more valuable than money? You'll find out soon enough.

Khomeini. And who's THAT?

Stansfield Turner, CIA director under Carter.

CHARLIE: And that is... That would be Carter himself.

Khomeini was in bed with America?

A fucking king-size bed by the looks of it.

They must have copied all this before they shredded it in '79.

Yeah, it's all in here.

Records of secret talks, local assets on the ground.

This is proof that he lied to our people.

CLAY: It's also proof that we lied to our OWN people.

Nobody wins here.

This is what the young people of Iran need

in order to rise up again. You put this out -

You put this out, you commit suicide.

Nobody's putting anything out yet.

You scanned all this? Every single one of them.

Send them to me. Got it.

(PHONE WHOOSHES) (PHONE BUZZES)

(SIGHS) Between Mossad and Nadir, we'll get something out of this.

You really gonna sell this to Nadir?

That's straight to Russia - or worse, China. Maybe HERE.

Grow the fuck up. Nobody's gonna see this.

This is currency for extortion.

Best we can do is find the highest bidder, buy our freedom, and walk.

It's a win-win, man. Either a public moment of reckoning

or a painful lesson learned.

It's all patriotic enough in MY book.

They got Zara.

She'll break, if she hasn't already...

then all these families are done for unless we get them out of here.

I can't think about money right now.

Yeah, well, money is their only ticket out.

(SIGHS)

Boys, I dragged you into this mess, so it's mine to fix.

If you really wanna do right by me, cut loose, get out of here,

and I'll pay you when we get home.

You're so thick-headed you never listen.

This was never about the score.

We needed closure, and you gave us the perfect excuse,

so we're all good, man. Just in it to win it.

Not that anyone's asking ME what we should do, but I say we go with Nadir.

We know exactly what he wants.

Just make sure whatever deal you cut

saves them and gets them out of here.

What about the locals? We're taking away their chance for change.

So we give it to Maryam, and then what?

We get her and 70 locals to safety by paying Nadir with kindness?

MARYAM: I-I don't care about my safety.

My family is not more important than the people of Iran.

You don't get to make that call. Take some notes, man.

You didn't even mention Zara. What would you like me to say?

We just broke in and out of the IRGC,

and everyone's here and safe

while you couldn't get two women seaside.

(BOTH GRUNT)

No, no, no, no, no! BRUCE: Hey! Calm down.

Back the fuck off, boss! We don't got time for this shit.

If you didn't decide to take chances, she'd still be here.

Don't put your shit on ME.

You're on a course to get us all killed.

Zara's on me. That's true.

But until I get proof of life, we keep moving forward,

and hopefully, we don't lose anybody else.

If there is an opening, I will take it.

Now get your shit.

They're on the bus and moving. (SIREN WHOOPS)

MARYAM: Is this for us? Nope.

MOSHE: OK. I might be interested.

25 million and a full bus crossing the border in three hours.

Who do you think I am? Aladdin?

"Listen, I came to you first.

If you can't do it, you can't do it."

Who else are you talking to? Everyone.

The money, maybe.

But you'll have to find a way out on your own.

I can't risk the exposure.

I don't trust you.

How come you don't care who my buyer is?

but only WHEN and WHERE I know we're safe.

"I'll call you in three hours with the location to meet."

If you touch one hair on her head or you fail to answer,

I will send this directly to the Washington Post.

(TENSE MUSIC)

We're meeting two Azeri guides on the other side of this tunnel.

They're gonna smuggle you all across the border to Azerbaijan.

Tell them to get ready

and to keep quiet as we go up the pass.

MEHDI:

Hey. Thank you.

(SPEAKS FARSI)

Alex, Bruce, you come with me.

Charlie, Clay, help these folks up the pass.

We'll circle up with you soon.

CHARLIE: Let's go.

(BIRD SCREECHES IN DISTANCE)

(PANTING)

(MEHDI SPEAKS FARSI)

(MARYAM GRUNTS SOFTLY)

Hey, uh, you got this?

I'm gonna go scope for the guys.

Yeah.

Yeah. Cool.

Stay safe. Yeah. You too.

Alright, let's move. Come on.

QASIM:

(DRONE BUZZES)

CHARLIE: Hey. Hold, hold, hold.

Stay right here.

(PANTING) Alright. Good job, boys.

ALEX: We got them.

You go do what you gotta do. Bring her back, boss.

I'll catch you on the other side.

(OFFICER SPEAKS FARSI)

(TUCKER SCOFFS)

Still trying to make sure this ends well

for the red, white, and blue, huh?

If you knew, why'd you swallow the bait

back at the shooting range?

I don't know. I guess I was hoping that if we ran into some real shit,

you could pull strings that I can no longer pull.

Ain't how it works, and you know it.

Yeah, well, one can hope, can't they?

Can't let you trade it for her, man.

On this side, we can figure it out on the low.

Not over there.

You know, for the past year, I wake up in the middle of the night

thinking about that kid we left in Kabul.

To keep from going crazy, I tell myself, I need to get on YOUR level.

Be cold, ruthless, make the mission king.

The only mission is to make this the last.

How can you not see that?

I know you still care about your country, Tucker.

What we found in that wall could have a bigger impact

than anything any of us can ever do.

And if Zara needs to die for this...

..it is so big...

you taught me that was fine.

And what if I can't do that?

Then I have my orders.

Alright.

(SNIFFLES)

(CLEARS THROAT)

I ever tell you I got a kid?

He's 13 now, lives with his mom and his stepdad.

I remember when he was born,

I told myself the most important thing is to be a great dad.

There's this guy I'll never forget.

He was still breathing when we got to him.

I tried to give him CPR...

and when I pushed down on his chest, the whole thing just caved in, man.

Like his bones were melted or something.

I literally crushed his chest with my bare hands,

and I watched his lights go out right then and there.

And I remember in that moment, all I kept thinking was...

.."It smells so bad.

I... I gotta wash my hands.

I gotta wash my hands." Do you understand?

I have to wash my hands.

I've been thinking about that a lot lately, that incident.

The person that I am.

I don't want my son to end up anything like me.

So I stopped seeing him, which is...

And his mom, my ex, she doesn't understand.

How could you explain any of this stuff to somebody who's never...

Tucker, don't make me do this, man. And I keep asking myself...

Tucker.

Do we ALL feel this way, or is it just ME?

Is it just me, Clay?

I wish I didn't care.

I wish I could just...

But right now, Zara's getting tortured because of me.

And I cannot let this one slide.

So you can try and stop me if you want,

but I beg you, Clay - I am BEGGING you...

..do not test my resolve.

Hell, Tucker.

I ain't gonna STOP you, man.

I'm coming with.

We deal with it when we get back.

Yeah.

When we get back.

(SPEAKS FARSI)

(PHONE BUZZES AND CHIMES)

CHARLIE: He wants us to cross.

(BRUCE WHISTLES)

CHARLIE: Let's move. Let's move.

If you want this, I need to see her alive.

She's alive. She has been watching you from Tehran,

right till you walked in here.

Zara is a VAJA agent.

She was assigned to you.

You were spotted leaving Fariba's office in Paris,

which VAJA holds under surveillance.

They flagged you.

And when your wife posted the job, you became a prime suspect.

159 North Arlington, is it?

Sophie...Troy...Peter.

You're going to give me those negatives and your cell phone.

Then I will let you race back out there wondering,

"Did he kill my family?"

Which is exactly what's going to happen

if I don't walk out of here in the next five minutes.

Ah.

(PHONE BUZZES AND CHIMES)

ALEX: Oh, shit. CHARLIE: Fuck, yeah.

(GRUNTS SOFTLY)

(GASPS AND LAUGHS)

(RUBBLE THUNDERS)

CHARLIE: It's OK. It's OK. Keep going.

(URGENT CHATTER IN FARSI)

(BULLET WHOOSHES)

(PANICKED CHATTER IN FARSI)

(GUNSHOT THUNDERS) (GROANS)

Bruce, Charlie, on me! Keep going! Keep going!

(GROANS)

Move, move, move!

OPERATOR:

(GUNFIRE STOPS) (HIGH-PITCHED TONE)

(DRONE BUZZES)

(DRONE THUDS)

(GROANS)

Fuck!

(SPLUTTERS)

(COUGHS)

Zara?

Come on, come on.

Fuck.

(SOBS)

(GRUNTING)

Oh, no! Oh, no, no, no!

I got him. I got him. I got him.

Alex, give me your phone! You OK?

I need your phone, dammit! Give me your phone!

Wait. Tucker!

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey.

Come on, come on, come on!

Hey.

(PHONE BUZZES)

Sophie! (GASPS)

Sophie, thank God. "Tucker?"

Can I talk to him? "Are you alright?"

I need to talk to him right now.

Are you safe?

SOPHIE: Troy?

Oh, Troy, wake up.

"Wake up. It's Daddy."

Wake up. Daddy. It's Daddy.

(SOBS) Hey, buddy.

(CHATTER)

(LIVELY TURKISH MUSIC)

(MUSIC IN BACKGROUND)

I was wondering when you'd find me.

Just tell me why.

How did they turn you?

Nobody turned me.

How could you support a regime that oppresses its people,

that treats women the way that it does?

You wanna save me so I can put on a bikini

and post it on Instagram?

What's so great about the way your society treats women?

I gave you my body because I knew

that in your world you could never suspect me after that.

But my body belongs to Iran,

and I would do anything for my country.

From what I've seen,

you no longer feel the same way about yours.

(SILENCED GUNSHOT)

(INSECTS BUZZ)

(MEMORY OF LARRY) 'If we don't see each other again, I want to ask you two things.

In the future, if you get an opportunity to do good,

cherish it.'

Don't be cynical like I was.

It all goes in the book.

And the second thing?

If I drift too far, start embarrassing myself,

you do me the same courtesy as you did Hamid.

A respectable death.

(LAUGHS)

It's a Christmas miracle. You're as dependable as the sunset.

You know, it's one thing to fool ME for an hour,

but how long did you have to fool poor Gina

with all of this bullshit? One month.

It was tough, but also touching.

You never know how much someone loves you

until they think they've lost you forever.

How much does she love you now that she's realised it's all an act?

She never found out.

I told her I was lucky, it was just Lyme disease.

Some antibiotics and I'd be back to my old self in no time.

I was so committed.

You are a real piece of work. You know that?

I actually CARED about you. Stop sulking, Tucker.

I care about you, too. Clay is dead because of you.

Clay didn't follow orders.

He was bound to eat a bullet sooner or later.

Not ruthless enough.

Not like YOU. No one's like YOU.

What was the point?

OK. Kabul was real, in case you were wondering.

Apparently, those migraines I was having was Havana syndrome,

an "anomalous health incident", as our government likes to call it.

But when I recovered from that, it was all clear to me.

I'd lost the plot,

put my personal feelings ahead, and that's...

that's a luxury that men like us don't have.

That's the sacrifice we made.

So I picked myself up

and found a way to tie up those loose ends,

fill that hole in all of us.

If you were gonna kill me, you would have done it already.

Come on.

Uh-uh-uh-uh. Uh.

Relax.

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

Who do you think paid for your ask? The Russians?

Promised you 25 million, didn't I? Be happy.

Your boys are square, and Uncle Sam got what he wanted.

(SCOFFS)

So this was your ticket back? It was.

Didn't hurt that they prefer to silence cases

of ultrasound weapons pointed at American personnel.

And how else could I get those who did it?

So I came back. And you should come back, too.

You're the best field operative I've ever had.

(LIQUID SLOSHES)

And you shall know the truth, and the truth...

..shall make you free.

There was a time I almost died for this intel,

but now it is best served gone. You lied to me.

I may deceive you, son, but I'll never lie to you.

We DID stash millions all over that city, just not all in one wall.

But I knew that saving Maryam, doing good,

was the only cure for what happened to Hamid.

This is the job, Tucker...

..and YOU...were born for it.

Come back home, son.

(EXHALES NERVOUSLY)

(SOPHIE MUTTERS)

(SIGHS) Hi.

Come in. Yeah.

Is he ready? Been counting the minutes.

Hey, Troy.

Hey, Troy.

(FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS)

Hey, buddy.

(KISSES) Oh, I missed you.

Hey. I was thinking maybe we could go fishing.

You know? It's been forever since we did something like that.

What is it? Do you... Do you have something else on your mind?

I'm happy to do whatever. I just wanted to spend time with you.

I was thinking maybe you could teach me how to shoot.

# Time will say nothing but I told you so

# Time only knows the price we have to pay

# If I could tell you, I would let you know

# If we should weep when clowns put on their show

# If we should stumble when musicians play

# Time will say nothing but I told you so

# There are no fortunes to be told, although

# Because I love you more than I can say

# If I could tell you, I would let you know

# The winds must come from somewhere

# When they blow

# There must be reasons

# Why the leaves decay

# Time will say nothing but I told you so

# Time will say nothing

# Perhaps the roses really want to grow

# The vision seriously intends to stay

# If I could tell you, I would let you know

# Time will say nothing

# But I told you so

# Suppose all the lions

# Get up and go

# And all the brooks and soldiers run away

# Will time say nothing but I told you so?

# If I could tell you

# I would let you know #
