[parent 1 speaks Spanish]

Where's my hairbrush?

In the bathroom, princess, where else?

I looked, it's not there.

Why don't you check again?

What's up bug?

[child] Where's my hairbrush?

I don't know.

-Do you want me to help you? -I think the brush is hiding.

-Come, let's go. -Where could it be?

Listen, I need a favor.

Yes?

Did you hear anything about the American woman that went missing?

No. Here in Colombia?

I'll tell you, wait. Come here love, let's go.

[speaks Spanish]

[child] I already looked everywhere!

[parent 2] Everywhere?

[child] Everywhere, Daddy.

[parent 2] How about here? You look here, and I'll look there.

It's not there either.

I looked already.

Not there either?

If I were a brush, where would I hide?

Let's see.

How about here? Look in that box.

The hairbrush.

Aha! [chuckles]

-Come here. -[parent 1] Okay, let's see!

You do it.

Come here.

My little queen.

-[electronic beeping] -What's that sound?

A little bird?

The brush?

There it is.

[child] The water?

-[speaks Spanish] -[laughs]

Oh.

-[parent 1] What are you doing? -I'm putting it away.

Come here. I'll tell you about the American.

[parent 2] Her name is Amber Chesborough.

She was near San José del Guaviare when she disappeared.

[parent 1] Was it the rebels?

[parent 2] Yes.

What was she doing there?

Traditional medicine.

Researching.

Her father-in-law just called me.

He's a very big deal in the U.S.

Of course I told him I was at his disposal.

So, what do you think?

Amber's brother and husband are flying here right now.

Maybe through one of your sources

we'd be able to get inside information.

They're a good family.

Good people.

[speaking Spanish]

[speaks Spanish]

[speaks Spanish]

-[grunts] -[speaks Spanish]

[Spanish music playing]

[line ringing]

I'm calling to ask if you have any information

regarding a kidnapped American?

Amber Chesborough.

-Mm-hmm. [speaks Spanish] -Señora.

Bueno.

Good morning.

[secretary speaking Spanish]

[Senator Mario] Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Honorable congressmen.

My party has considered it pertinent to put at your disposal

for the consideration of this plenary

a 90% investment

for the good of the people.

[murmuring, clamoring]

[gavel rapping]

[speaks Spanish]

[clamoring continues]

-Excuse me, Senator. -Yes?

-May I ask you something? -Of course.

It's about the kidnapping of the American woman.

I'd like to know if you think it could be related to the FARC.

Of course not.

Not at all.

Is this an official statement?

If there has been a crime, the criminals will obviously have to pay.

But I know nothing about it.

Okay, then…

Who do you think may be involved?

You said one question and it's been three.

-Senator… -No, I can't talk about it.

Off the record, you know very well

this could be a tragedy for the peace agreement.

You're not worried?

Off the record, they're a gang of criminals

and pseudo-intellectuals.

I know people who have been talking to them.

They're giving her back.

Are you sure about that?

Yes.

Now, if I may…

-Ms. Matíz. -Yes, of course.

Good luck in the polls.

Thank you.

[congress members clamoring]

[Spanish music playing]

[Amber] Where are we?

Welcome lady.

-[kidnapper 1] Go, up! -[Amber] Where are we?

[kidnapper 1] Relax. You're home, don't worry.

[Amber breathing heavily]

Okay.

[kidnapper 1] We have men on the street watching you, stay here.

[speaks Spanish]

Excuse me, do you know where I can find Enrique?

No, ask there.

[parent 1] Thank you.

Hi.

-Are you Enrique? -No.

Do you know where he is?

Enrique?

[chuckles]

-Good morning. -Good morning.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

[parent 1 speaks Spanish]

I'm a big fan.

Thank you.

Have a seat.

[chuckles]

So where do we begin?

Are you the spokesperson?

Yes.

Yes, you could call me that.

We usually don't speak to the press.

But, now's the time.

What group do you belong to?

I mean, you're part of the ELN, right?

No.

We're not part of any group.

We're something new.

We don't have a name.

We don't have a brand.

Perhaps you can be the one to name us.

-[sighs] -[Enrique laughs]

No, I don't think so.

[Enrique] No?

No, I'm not here to write a story about you.

But, it would be great.

You're the best journalist in the country.

Yes, but I won't give you publicity.

[chuckles]

I'm a bit confused.

I thought this was supposed to be an interview?

No, this is not an interview.

I'm here to ask you to free the American woman.

Once you do it, we can discuss the possibility of an interview.

I don't understand.

You're telling me what to do?

No.

I'm here to give you some advice, for your own safety.

[chuckling]

What the fuck?

You're a journalist.

You can't come in here, threaten me, tell me what to do and…

[parent 1] Let's see…

imagine that at this very moment

the military is deciding what actions to take to solve this matter.

And I'm the person holding her hands out like this…

In search of peace.

But, what would happen if I change my mind?

And simply suggest for them to be tougher on you.

They could come here tonight.

While you're sleeping.

[Enrique sighs]

[scoffs]

[inhales deeply]

Why don't you go and fuck yourself?

Hmm?

[chuckles]

I'm very sorry.

Excuse me.

[sighing]

[breathing heavily]

[sighs, speaks in English] Fuck, fuck.

[breathing heavily]

I'm warm. I'm dry. [inhales deeply] Nobody's shooting at me.

[breathes deeply]

I'm warm. I'm dry. [exhales deeply] Nobody's shooting at me.

[breathes deeply]

[horse whinnies]

Please, God. Dear Heavenly Father, please--

-[gunshot] -[gasps, sighs] Okay.

[breathing shakily] Bambi. Where are you, Bambi?

Fucking listen to me. [cries]

[flight attendant] Welcome to Bogotá.

[Bambi] Hi. US special operations.

Morning.

[device beeps]

[Amber sighs] It might take two days. It might take a week.

You get the fuck outta here.

[breathes shakily] I'm gonna get the fuck out of here.

[breathes deeply]

Come on.

All right. Fuck this. [grunts]

Scuse me.

Hey.

-Sorry for the wait, guys. [sighs] -[Bambi] Yeah.

Amick Dunn. Embassy security.

[Prince] Hello.

So, there is some positive news here.

Okay.

Kidnappers have asked for $250,000.

So pay it.

It's not that simple. We countered at 100.

Or I'll pay it. We'll back-channel it later.

We'll meet in the middle. And we'll wait a few days.

See, if you offer them that amount, you…

-You're gonna wait a few days? -[Amick] …they'll move the goalposts.

I sort of studied the history of kidnapping in Colombia.

-[stammers] -Well, that's just great.

I get where you're coming from.

You don't, actually.

Why don't you just go get your chief of station, all right?

Okay. Okay.

All right.

Hello. I'm Natalie Foster, COS.

Alex Chesborough.

Eric Haas.

You want answers.

Yes, ma'am. We just want to be read in.

Okay. Well, why don't you grab your things and follow me?

-Thank you. Thanks. -[Prince] Great.

You've already been filled in on the negotiations?

Yes, we have.

But, you know… [scoffs] …he means "read in" as if you trust us. Okay?

As if we're on the same team. As if we have security clearance.

As if we do this for a living.

Are you really treating this as a fucking business deal?

You know she's linked to the agency, right?

They're not aware of that.

In Colombia, kidnappings usually are business transactions.

And I don't work for you, so please watch your tone

-when you're in my embassy. -Ma'am, uh--

Honestly, we're, uh-- we're desperate for something.

She's-- She's his wife. She's my sister. Please.

You two look dehydrated from that flight, and we're at 8,000 feet.

Come on. Let's go get you some water. It's downstairs.

I'm going to trust you guys.

Help yourselves.

[Bambi] Thanks.

[Natalie] Are we still in the same house?

[technician] Yes, ma'am.

[Natalie] How about we go again with any new specificity and context?

Sorry. So, according to their cell phone data,

she is still in that red house here. In Ciudad Bolívar.

I can hear two male adults inside, uh, undetermined amount of kids

and just a lot of people coming in and out.

So as you can see, we have it all in hand.

Is that Colombian SF?

The colonel in charge, yes. But we're not gonna need him.

Negotiations are gonna work. We'll have her back in a couple of days.

-Do you mind if I speak to him? -[sighs]

Sure, you can try.

Colonel Pereira.

These are the husband and the brother.

[in Spanish] Good morning Colonel.

I'm part of a JSOC military unit.

Delta?

Delta.

If you have a moment

we'd like to have a quick talk with you.

Your perspective is very important to me.

Permission to disclose?

Yes.

[in English] I have a call. I'm gonna let you boys chat.

Thank you.

[in Spanish] English or Spanish?

English please, for my friend.

-[in English] Sure. -Thank you.

This neighborhood makes it very, very hard to neutralize the tangos.

There are too many spotters.

Local kids, gangs, shooters on motorcycles.

If one policeman goes in, all the alarms go off.

I have also established three OPs.

Here, here and here. Making a triangle with the snipers.

It's hard for me to get the green flag.

Authorization must come from the embassy. I'm stuck under a lot of approvals.

And what about the exfil?

Well, I'm sure you know it's always the most dangerous part.

[in Spanish] The moment we grab that package

the neighborhood will start yelping like a wounded animal.

We'll be using 9mm ammunition

to minimize civilian casualties.

[in English] If we go, my commanders will get her.

They're very experienced.

And now, what you can tell me about her?

I don't know her training. Can she handle a weapon?

Uh-- [stammers]

Will she be too scared to move? Do we carry her?

She'll be the best fighter you ever had.

[Pereira] Oh.

[kidnapper, in Spanish] How are you?

I'm great.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yes, I want a phone.

[sighs]

[in English] A cell phone.

No.

[in Spanish] For my family.

I can't do that.

Please!

Money

for just a moment

to use your phone.

-[Amber pants] -[in English] No.

[breathing heavily] Okay.

[in Spanish] What is this?

[Amber sniffles]

[stammers, speaks in English] It's, uh, my-- my avalanche beacon.

I don't know… [sighs] …how to say it in Spanish. Um.

[in Spanish] How do you say it?

[in English] Snow? Uh. Uh…

[in Spanish] Snow!

[in English] Uh, for skiing.

[speaks Spanish]

[in English] Ski. I'm a skier. So…

You're skiing Colombia?

No.

Not in Colombia.

[breathes deeply]

[in Spanish] Thank you.

You're welcome.

[in English] I ski in Colorado!

[beating drums]

[protesters chanting]

[protesters] Resistance!

[kidnapper, in Spanish] Hey, I need to talk to Graciela.

Why?

I can't tell you.

[protesters] Resistance!

Long live the national strike!

Long live the national strike!

[chattering]

[in Spanish] All good?

It's the American woman.

[kidnapper 2] She's fine.

The thing is, the guys in the jungle found something in her backpack.

An electronic device.

[sighs]

Shit.

It looks military.

That's what I thought.

Now what?

Will you talk to her?

It's risky for me to talk to her.

So I need to be in charge.

Give it here.

[Ernesto, in English] I asked my wife, Violeta, to get involved.

She's a journalist and very influential.

[Violeta] I spoke with someone this morning.

He is a kind of s-- publicist for this organization.

He seems very unexperienced.

I'm very scared about all the situation that they make.

At the same time, I met with the senator. He was FARC, so he knows a lot, of course.

And-- And he believes that she will be returned safely.

What the CIA say?

[exhales sharply] Well, uh, it's a business transaction.

It seems everybody is in the same reality, right?

Darling, you didn't mention that this was a new group.

-[sighs] -Yeah, that's true.

-It's a new version of… [in Spanish] M-19. -[in English] Uh, M-19.

But… [chuckles] …it's all the same shit.

They all start political, end up criminal.

But this moment where this group is at is the most dangerous.

[Prince] Really? Why?

[Ernesto] Well, because they're young, they can be unrealistic.

It's like playing poker with a rookie

that still doesn't understand the rules of the game.

They make crazy bets.

[inhales deeply]

-[speaks Spanish] -Mmm.

Long time ago, Violeta and her sister were kidnapped by guerrillas.

It was a lot more common back then.

They called it "pesca milagrosa," "miracle fishing."

We had a lot of conversation with the police and there was a lot of planning.

Things kept changing, and, eventually, we did it ourselves.

Yeah. She was killed there in the cross fire.

Very sorry.

[inhales deeply] I have a meeting now, and I know you have one too.

-But let's keep talking about this. -Yeah.

[Ernesto] How about you guys come for dinner tonight, all right?

You should be with friends right now.

["Bogotá Mi Barrio" playing on speakers]

[kidnappers chuckling]

[kidnapper 1, in Spanish] Here comes your new girl boss!

[laughs] Oops.

-[Graciela speaking Spanish] -[kidnappers speaking Spanish]

Welcome to your ranch.

Hmm. Hmm.

Looks like the party was fun.

-[chuckling] -[mumbles]

[kidnapper 1] Hey, Chino.

Chino.

Go get the American.

[speaks Spanish]

Dude. A chair, please.

[speaks Spanish]

-[speaking Spanish] -[music stops]

[grunts, speaks Spanish]

[chattering in Spanish]

[exclaims]

[kidnapper 2 speaks Spanish]

[speaks Spanish, sighs]

[piano playing classical music]

Gracias.

[Bambi sighing]

[breathing heavily, grunting]

[panting]

[speaks Spanish]

Hola.

[in English] You are so pretty.

Thank-- Thank you. Hi. Hi.

Um, we're taking over, okay?

Cool.

Who are you guys?

-Um… -[speaks Spanish]

[in English] 2.0.

What's that?

Political stuff. Don't worry about it.

Okay. Cool. Yeah. No, I totally get that.

Taking up arms against an oppressive system.

I-- I would-- I would totally do the same thing if I was in your shoes.

-[shutter clicks] -[laughs]

Nah, I don't think so.

Yeah. Yeah, I-- I would, actually.

You'd go to a protest. [sighs]

Right, that's what we do in America.

-This is also America, you know? -South, but--

No, I'm-- I'm just saying… [chuckles] …that if my country was in a civil war,

I-I think I would join too. That's all.

Um, so you're saying that you came down here for the trees, right?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm a-- I'm a research scientist.

I specialize in-- in bioactive plants.

And there are specific compounds that are unique to this region

that I-I-I find promising for my addiction research.

-Nice. -[Amber] Yeah.

Cool.

[Amber] Yeah.

I know you probably need money, so I could-- I could get you $2,000.

[laughs]

You know, that's a lot of money for a poor Colombian, right?

[sighs] It's what I have.

[gasps] But wait, what will we do with $2,000? Thank you.

[kidnapper 3 chuckles] What will we do with $2,000?

I don't know. What will we do?

I don't know. [chuckles] I don't know.

[in Spanish] A lot of rice for your village.

[both laughing]

[in English] Chinese rice.

[Amber] This is really fucked up, guys.

[stammers] Just, if you give me a cell, I'll get you money.

I'll get you a lot of money.

Okay, I'm gonna tell you two things right now.

-[Amber] Mm-hmm. -And I want you to remember, okay?

Okay.

This is not a village.

This is a fucking country and a beautiful one.

[Graciela sighs]

And I don't want your money. And we don't need your money, right?

-Got it? -Got it.

[Graciela speaks Spanish]

[in English] We know who your husband is. We are negotiating for your release.

-Okay. -But it's kind of a problem.

-Why? -'Cause we have doubts about you.

Maybe you're DEA or CIA?

Why would I be DEA or CIA? This isn't Jason Bourne.

[scoffs] Such a great film, you know?

But no, isn't, actually.

The technology in your bag. Tell us.

Yeah, okay.

My husband put it in there for when I go skiing,

in case there's an avalanche.

It was hiding in there.

Got it. Okay, now I understand you. [smacks lips]

So my… [chuckles] …my husband can be a bit of a dick,

and he put it in there.

I research it online, mi amor.

It's military.

Yes. Good. Yes.

His father sells military weapons to our government.

-Okay? -[kidnapper 3] Yeah.

And honestly, I didn't know it was in there.

He put it in my bag. I didn't even want it.

-Why? -Because I don't like to be followed.

So I said, "No, no. I don't wanna take that."

-You did, though. -No. Goddamn it! No!

I'm telling you that he put it in my bag. Do you understand that?

He put it in my bag.

Who the fuck are you really?

Are you CIA targeter? Are you building a deck?

-Are we your target? -Am I?

I just met you guys. I don't know who the fuck you are.

-Am-- And I'm a what? What did you say? -Targeter.

Oh, you don't know that word. Really?

-[speaks Spanish] -[Graciela] Come on.

[phone ringing]

[sighs] Hello.

[Natalie] So we're being overtaken by events.

-I need you to brace yourself. -[Bambi] Okay.

These are bad people, okay, but they're not totally stupid.

They found Amber's military beacon,

and they've changed their assessment of who she is.

Now that she's valuable,

negotiations are off.

They could hold her for 20 years or they could kill her tomorrow.

We're spinning up the rescue mission. It's on the director's desk.

Understood. Thank you.

That was Foster.

Everything's changed in the kidnappers' mindset.

That beacon you put in her bag,

they found it, and they've determined that it's military.

And now they assume that she's high value.

[Bambi sighs]

Negotiations are off.

[sighs] Fuck.

Direct actions, two weeks of planning minimum.

Especially in that neighborhood.

[sighs]

[breathes shakily] I fucked her.

Pretty much.

I'm so sorry, man. I-- I feel like a monster.

Yeah, I don't give a shit how you feel, man.

[breathing heavily]

I was so fucking arrogant.

I thought that beacon would keep her safe.

[breathing shakily]

I can't let her die.

I'm not gonna let her die.

I can't let her die.

[breathing deeply]

Let's talk about strategy, okay?

Roger.

They're not gonna let her go. The agency will cut ties.

-I don't know. -[Prince chuckles] Well--

Foster seems sincere about the strike plan.

You want me to red-team that?

Yeah, be my guest.

Hey, truly no offense, but you--

Part of you is still a kid from the sticks happy to be in the room with a three-star.

When I was a kid, we had CIA directors at our dinner table begging us for crumbs.

And?

I know how these decisions are made.

They're not gonna say, but they won't approve a raid.

We need to get in there, hit that house now.

[door closes]

[door opens, closes]

[breathes deeply]

[elevator dings]

I guess we should cancel dinner.

[both chuckle]

Here we go.

That's it.

[Bambi] That's it. She could be just down there, man.

-Right under that fucking cover. -Uh-huh.

["Dame Vente" playing on stereo]

[Bambi] I'll take that.

Right. Here you go.

[sniper 1, in Spanish] Wolf 6, this is Ray 2.

I have the target on sight.

They're the gringos who were at the office.

They're tall, wearing reflective jackets and baseball caps.

Nobody shoots.

Understood? Freeze.

They're Purples, not Tangos.

Nobody shoots, I repeat.

Anybody got eyes on the package?

[sniper 2] That's a negative, sir.

[breathing heavily]

[panting]

[in English] I gotta show you something. There's a tunnel on the first floor.

It goes to the next house.

Dude, she's been sleeping up here.

[footsteps approaching]

[gasps] No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No.

[pants]

[in Spanish] Go back down the stairs.

Out, out!

[breathing heavily]

They got in!

[speaks Spanish]

[kidnappers chattering in Spanish]

[Ray 2, in Spanish] Two Purples are trapped on the roof.

[Wolf 6] Get the drone in the air.

Drone image on this screen, sir.

[Wolf 6] Which direction are the Purples moving?

[technician] Sierra Whiskey sir, Sierra Whiskey.

[grunts]

[Ray 2] Hot terrace. They're making contact, sir.

[Wolf 6] You're cleared to fire against all threats!

Protect the Purples!

[Ray 2] I'm losing sight of them, sir.

[Wolf 6] Wolf 6 to snipers.

Does anyone see them?

[sniper 2] That's a negative, sir.

[Wolf 6] Does anyone have eyes on them?

Negative.

[motorcycle approaching]

[motorcycle approaching]

[window opens]

[motorcycle approaching]

[Spanish music playing]

[door opens]

Buenas noches.

[door locks]

[passerby speaking Spanish]

[passerby scoffs]

[Ray 2] Wolf 6.

I have them on sight.

[kidnapper yelling in Spanish]

[kidnapper 2 speaking Spanish]

[sniper 3] All units from Sierra Whiskey,

moving towards Sierra Whiskey on a chase.

Sir, we have a motorcycle approaching.

Authorized to fire on Tangos.

Fire at will, sir.

[bullet fires]

-[kidnapper 2 speaking Spanish] -[Ray 2 speaking Spanish on radio]

[kidnapper 1 speaking Spanish]

-[kidnapper 1 scoffs] -[kidnapper 2 shouts in Spanish]

[kidnapper 1 speaks Spanish, scoffs]

[kidnapper 2 speaking Spanish]

[Bambi, in English] Wait, wait, wait.

[kidnapper 2 speaks Spanish]

[in English] Come on.

[kidnapper 1 speaks Spanish]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Just go, man.

[speaks Spanish]

[yells in Spanish]

[dogs barking]

[sniper 4] High value target has been shot by the Purples.

Repeat, high value target.

Tango 2 has been shot by the Purples.

They're running away through the streets and terraces, sir.

[sniper 5 speaking Spanish]

[dogs barking]

[sniper 5 speaking Spanish on radio]

[both panting]

[in English] We got our next move.
