Wake 'em up!

Enchanter...
This is the United States
Coast Guard.
Heave to and prepare
to be boarded.
Enchanter, you
are a US Flag ship
and we are going to board you.
Heave to now.

MAN 2: Captain.
Captain?
Go ahead, senior chief.
It's a bad one.
I think you better send
over the video camera.
Jack, come on in. How
high is the pile on your desk?
About this high.
Now it's this high.
What have you got?
You heard about that business
in the South Caribbean?
Yeah, a little bit.
I need the full skinny.
By when?
As soon as you can.
Okay.
Jack?
Yes, sir?
Be discreet.
What do you mean?
You'll find out.
Mysterious.
Ooh...
[CHUCKLES]
I love a mystery.
SECURITY GUARD: Ryan, John P.
MAN: [ON INTERCOM]
Let him through.
Here you go.
Thank you.
You, uh, know
where you're going?
Yep. Thank you.
Oh, where do I park?
Right, uh, over there.
Thank you.
MAN: [IN VIDEO] Okay. I'm in a
passageway, going forward,
past her stateroom.
Got blood on the deck.
RYAN: 19 cartridges
were recovered...
As well as the, uh...
As the two weapons
that fired them.
Blood samples taken
were consistent with the crew.
Hardin and, uh, his wife
and his son and daughter.
MAN: [IN VIDEO] I got blood
on both the sheets and pillow.
On both starboard and
port-side racks.
There's some blood up there
on the mirror, too.
They were k*lled
in their staterooms,
apparently as they slept,
dragged topside,
and thrown overboard.
The two men in
custody surrendered
after a brief attempt
to outrun the coast guard.
What do we know about them,
the men in custody?
Half a dozen arrests
for drug trafficking
in Bogota, Mr. President.
dr*gs...
Suspected ties to the
Cali Cartel, not Medellin...
[GASPS]
You all right, James?
According to DEA.
Why?
Nothing exotic, sir.
Straight piracy and m*rder.
It's not the first time.
It's the first time
it was a friend of mine.
Yes, sir.
What was that in there?
Are you all right?
Yeah.
Jeez. I haven't
slept in 36 hours.
I make any sense?
I don't know.
What did you say?
Just kidding.
Good job.
You ought to give
diplomacy lessons, Bobby.
I call it the way
I see it. That's my job.
James!
And he's yours.
Wait for me.
Shut the door.
I promised the American people
I would do something
about the dr*gs
pouring into this country.
You are.
We support
the Colombians' efforts
against the cartels
with equipment and...
And accomplish nothing!
What do these
drug dealers think,
we're powerless?
Is that what they think?
They think they can keep
doing this kind of thing
and there's no response, ever!
Are you suggesting
a course of action, sir?
The course of action I'd suggest
is a course of action
I can't suggest.
I'm, uh, not sure
where that leaves us.
These drug cartels represent
a clear and present danger
to the national security
of the United States.

That doesn't surprise me.
It should at the very
least concern you.
What are they going to do,
come after me?
Arrest me?
You're scaring me.
Will you stop long enough
for me to tell you
something important?
Thank you.
Listen, you pay me
to counsel you,
and I am counseling you.
I'm keeping you alive
with information.
Now, if you
disregard my counsel,
if you keep running your
business the way you have been,
with your balls
instead of your head,
two things will happen,
I'll quit,
and you'll get k*lled.
You forgot to tell me
about your scouting trip.
No, I didn't.
You made another
contact. Who is he?
Castro always asked me the
same question about my sources,
and I always gave him
the same answer.
Yes, but Castro didn't
pay you what I pay you.
This one will cost you nothing.
A woman.
You're using a woman.

It won't float!
John, what do you want,

Waffles!
I don't have time for waffles.
Anybody seen my keys?
They're either on the front
hall table or in your pocket.
Where are my keys?
Pancakes! Toast, please.
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
Bye.
Bye, Dad!
Bye, pal.
Hello. Yes.
It's not supposed to float.
It's a submarine.
It's a boat
that goes underwater.
CATHY: Jack.
Hello.
When?
I thought I had the flu.
I'd still think I had the flu
if they weren't
telling me otherwise.
Well, what are they telling you?
Pancreatic cancer
of an aggressive nature,
if I heard them right.
Oh, Jesus.
Well, uh, what does that mean?
I guess it means
I'm in big trouble.
No, I mean,
can they operate or...
Maybe. That's what
they said, maybe.
Which sounds suspiciously
like no to me.
There's one of them now.
Hey.
I'm not dead yet.
But I am in the hospital,
which means that
I'm not in my office,
which means I don't
know what's going on.
I need you there.
Where?
In my office, doing my job.
Oh, wait. I...
I hate not knowing what's
going on, Jack. You know that.
I wouldn't know the first
thing about doing your job, sir.
You've been around.
No big mystery.
You've been to the White House.
Once. I hated it.
No, you didn't.
Want to know about
politics in Washington?
Four words,
watch your back, Jack.
Bobby, you should be
the first to know,
or I guess the third
or fourth to know...
I'm appointing Ryan the Acting
Deputy Director, Intelligence.
It'll be a provisional appointment,
of course, till James recovers.
I want you to
get him up to speed
on our aid program
to the Colombians.
He's got to brief
the oversight committee
and talk them out of
another $75 million.
And not make a complete
fool out of himself.
What's happening on
the Hardin murders?
I'm on it.
The president's calling
for a full-court press.
So, you guys are going to be
working together hand in hand.
That's great.
Margaret.
Why don't we leave
all his things?
Okay.
RITTER: Ryan...
I can't believe it.
Not a team player, is
that what you're saying?
Not a team player.
He's a boy scout.
A g*dd*mn boy scout.
Believes in loyalty,
cleanliness, and knot tying.
So leave him out of it.
He's the Deputy Director
of Intelligence, James.
That's going to be a little
tricky, don't you think?
Why? What does
he need to know?
Nothing.
He needs to know nothing.
He's going to know nothing.
I want a copy of the
president's authorization
of this new action
against the cartels.
You want what?
You heard me.
He doesn't know about it.
Let me explain it
to you very simply.
This is your deal,
not mine.
So unless I have
written authorization,
this thing is over
before it begins,
because I'm not going to be
only one left without a chair
when the music stops.
[TYPING]
Reciprocity.
That's a clever name for it.
Revenge is a very, very,
very dangerous motivation.
Are you able to handle
this operation or not?
What I'm looking for here
is a simple yes or no.
What you're looking
for is a political mess.
Yes or no?
Is that what they want?
Because that's what this is.
They want what every
first-term administration wants:
a second term.
I don't imagine the boys on
the hill have approved this.
[ORDERING IN SPANISH]
Have they?
Is that a no?
[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
I want the money in my account
before I move an inch.
You got it.
I'll need a COMSAT link.
An insertion team.
You got it.
You can have a brigade.
I don't want a friggin' brigade.
I just need 12 men who
understand discretionary warfare.
Special Ops people,
Spanish-speaking.
Cutter will get the m*llitary.
CUSTOMS OFFICIAL:
How are you today, sir?
Very well.
What is the purpose

Well, I build them,

Oh, we did that

Do I remember?
Do you?
Vaguely.
Maybe I should
refresh your memory.
Maybe you should.
Excuse me. Your

Give it to somebody else.
I'll get a cab.
Moira?
Oh, hi.
I thought that was you.
How are you?
How's Jack?
He's great, just great.
You still with the FBI?
Oh, yeah. In the
director's office.
Who was that?
My new friend,
Senor Roberto Landa.
Mmm...
Doesn't he look like Jack?
Oh, does he?
I can't quite see.
Only Latin.
A Latin Jack Ryan? Oh,
well, this I have to see.
I have to go. Bye.
Well, we know it's not piracy.
Pirates steal boats.
These guys had plane tickets,
Miami to Bogota the
morning after the killings.
Hey, Dan.
How's it going?
We're sneaking up
on a motive here.
Dan Murray, Bureau.
Ralph Williams, DEA.
Said anything yet?
Yeah.
"We're innocent."
Till the DA offers them a deal.
He already has.
Regular or extra crispy.
He was either referring
to fried chicken
or the electric chair.
What are you picturing here?
A hit on a respectable
American businessman
and his family?
You're assuming
he's respectable.
Oh...
We have...
Memos, letters, credit
card statements...

No.

No.

This is for you.
No.

Hmm.

No.

No.

I got it!
Ha ha ha!
Right here.
Ha ha ha!
Wife's birth month,
daughter's day,
son's year...
No kidding.
...but not in reverse.
Sorry.
Print me up that one, will you?
Yes, sir.
Good boy.
RYAN:
And then 3 years ago,
Hardin received a large infusion
of foreign investment capital,
which he invested wisely
in 20 major shopping centers
from Ft. Worth to Atlanta.
I say wisely because in
the middle of the recession,
he posted record profits,
at least to the IRS,
who he apparently feared
more than his own partners.
To them, according to the stockholder
statements he was giving them,
the shopping centers
weren't doing nearly as well.
They were.
He was just skimming
the lion's share of the
profits, $650 million,
and putting it in numbered
accounts in Luxembourg, Panama,
and the Cayman Islands.
They k*lled him for it.
Who?
His partners.
Who were his partners?
Well, it seems clear that, uh...
That he was laundering money
for the Colombian drug cartels.
Jesus. I knew the man
for 40 years.
We went to school together.
We almost went into
business together.
That would have been good.
Oh, man, the press is going
to have a field day with this.
No one outside of this
room knows anything about it.
They will.
They always do.
It'll come out. You're
absolutely right about that.
But when it does, we'll downplay
your relationship
with Hardin somehow.
Hmm.
What?
What?
Defuse it.
What? You disagree?
No.
Well, actually, yes.
Forgive me, but I would
go in the other direction.
If a reporter asked If you
and Hardin were friends,
I'd say, "No.
We're good friends."
If they asked if you
were good friends,
I'd say, "No, no,
we're lifelong friends."
I would give them
no place to go, um,
nothing to report,
no story.
I mean, there's, uh, no sense
defusing a b*mb
after it's already...
It's already gone off.
[DING]
Damn! sh*t!
You see him?
All right.
Move your team
That's it.
Stop.
Touch that light-colored grass.

Now! Run!
Keep coming!
[ON RADIO] Stop.
To your left.
To your left.
And stop.
sn*per at your feet.
Or what is it?
He had lunch here,
Sergeant Major.
McDonald's, quarter-pounder,
with cheese.
Damn.
[DING]
Damn!
That's four.
All right, you won
this one. Come on out.
Soldier, how did you
get that close to me?
sn*per approached the instructor
by being a sneaky bastard,
Sergeant Major!
Do you know the fine
for littering
in the state of
California, Chavez?
Yes, sir!
CLARK: I saw you on the
sn*per course. You looked good.
Just about finished here,
aren't you, Sergeant?
Yes, sir.
Looking forward
to taking some leave
with that young wife and kids?
I don't have any
young wife and kids, sir.
What do you have?
I mean, you don't call anybody
with great frequency,
don't write many letters,
don't receive them.
Who are you, sir, if you
don't mind my asking?
Mr. Clark and I are putting
together a special mission,
and the group commander
wants my team to be a part of it.
You'd be gone a couple
months, maybe six,
after which, if you're not dead,
you'd have your choice of
assignments in special ops.
[BAND PLAYING SEMPER FIDELIS]
REPORTER 1: Mr. President, do
you have a comment on...
REPORTER 2: Mr. President!
REPORTER 3: Mr. President.
[REPORTERS SHOUTING
QUESTIONS]
REPORTER 4: [ON TV] ...that
appears to be defusing an issue
that was snowballing
into yet another scandal
for this administration.
REPORTER 5: The New York Times
is reporting
that you and Hardin
were good friends.
Is that true?
No, not quite.
We weren't good friends,
we were lifelong friends.
I said that.
I said that.
I told him to say that.
What?
I didn't say anything.
Yeah, but you're
thinking something.
Well...
I was just distracted
by how much trouble
you were having with
your ensemble today.
Well, it's not every day
you have to look trustworthy.
Who told who to say what, Dad?
It's not important.

Yeah.
Mom says she makes more

Bye, Dad. See ya.
She's probably right.
Bye.
WOMAN: I want
to thank you, Dr. Ryan,
for the information you've
shared with us this afternoon.
RYAN:
Thank you, Senator.
I agree we have to help
the Colombians
in their struggle to curtail
the drug cartels' activities,
however, I'm confused.
How do you see
additional funds alone
advancing this program
from the utter failure
that it is?
You see what I'm getting at?
No, I'm afraid I don't.
You said this effort would
be totally benign on our part.
The finding clearly states
that our assistance is limited
to supply and advice
only, Senator.
I know.
I've read that.
I've also read a similar finding
written 35 years ago
this week regarding
a little-thought-of sliver of
jungle in Southeast Asia.
I'm sorry,
you're comparing our request
for supplemental
antidrug funds to Vietnam?
I'm comparing it to every instance
a legislative body such is this
is asked to render judgment
based on less than all the facts.
Well, I'm afraid I don't
know what to say to that.
You could begin by assuring us
we have been
given all the facts.
I thought I had.
You could further
assure us, then,
that this increase in funds,
this escalation,
to use your word,
will not be used for any
covert m*llitary action.
I don't know how
you're getting to this.
Long experience, sir.
No troops, then.
I enunciate that clearly
because I don't want
there to be any mistake.
No troops.
You could say I have
your word on that?
You could, indeed,
because you do.
PILOT 1: ...I'm going
down to three.
PILOT 2: Roger.
Listen up!

Um, good, sir.
When am I going to meet

She's dying to meet you, sir.
Good. Good.
Sit down.
Thank you.
Thank you.
So...
The cash is still there, hmm?
Sir?
In Hardin's offshore accounts.
$650 million.
And change. And change. And
we have the account numbers?
Yes, sir.
Well, what are we waiting for?
Let's get it.
Let's get it?
Let's get it.
Let's turn this thing around.
$650 million and change.
It's worth 10 times that
in political capital.
What?
Uh, well, um...
This connection between
Hardin and the cartels
is a theory.
Theory?
A theory of mine.
It's a theory?
Well, I know the money is there,
but who exactly
Hardin was working for,
I don't know that exactly.
And I think we would
have to establish that
before we could seize the money.
So, go down there, establish it.
Go where?
Colombia.
Who, me?
[LAUGHING]
I leave you alone for two weeks,
and you walk straight
into a big bear trap.
I don't know

Are you sure?
Watch him like a hawk.

Okey-dokey.

Yes.

WOMAN: Now go to

Okay.
Who is doing this?
If I had to guess?
No. That is not what
I asked you, to guess.
I can guess.
Someone has been talking
to the drug police.
Now, that's impossible.
If anyone spoke to the police,
I would be the first to know.
WOMAN:
Ernesto.
You think one of the
others is trying to ruin me,
to steal my business
after what I did
to the American?
I guess that wasn't
quite the deterrent
you thought it would be.

What do you make
of this, Colonel?
An opportunity.
An opportunity, Sipo.
Good afternoon. Afternoon.
Messages, please.
Dr. Ryan.
Clark.
I'm sorry I'm late.
I got 10 minutes.
Okay.
I mean, I'm positive that Hardin
was tied in with the cartels.
It's definitely drug money.
But you can't prove it.
So far.
Mind if I ask you a question?
No.
Why are you telling me all this?
I've been out of the game
for a long time.
Oh. Well, I was told
that you were
wired in down here,
that you knew
the town, the people,
that you were a player.
Who told you that?
Jim Greer.
How's he doing?
Well, he's not good.
It's cancer...
Terminal.
He's a good man.
The best.
You a coffee drinker,
Dr. Ryan?
Yeah, I like coffee.
Try the Lindo brand.
Lindo.
I think you'll like it.
RYAN: Mr. President,
I've got some good news.
Good.
Hardin's partner down here
was someone you may have
heard of, Ernesto Escobedo.
Escobedo.
Figures.
Now, is this another
of your theories, Ryan?
No, sir. I think we can
call this one fact.
Escobedo, like every other
drug lord down here,
was also running
legitimate businesses.
Hardin was doing business
with these businesses,
importing, among
other things, coffee,
which in and of itself
means nothing,
but he was paying a little
bit too much for this coffee,
$6,200 a pound, if my
arithmetic is correct.
Well, that's expensive coffee.
Yes, sir.
I'd have to agree.
Well, this is good news.
I think this does it.
Um, sir...
I also have some other news
which is not so good. Um...
Oh, God.
Um... DEA here feels that
the Colombian government
would want the seized funds,
or at least
a large portion of them.
Well...
This is our money.
This is our money.
We found it.
Uh, we could try
telling them that.
Try? Tell them!
Or don't tell them.
I don't care.
Sir, with all due respect...
This is our money.
Just tell them that.
Um, I wouldn't know what to say.
I wouldn't know where to start.
I'm not a negotiator.
Don't you know someone
in their government?
I went to school with
their attorney general.
Jacobs will come down.
He'll take care of it.
He'll negotiate.
Yes, sir. This is our money.

[BEEP]
Good afternoon.
ALL: Good afternoon,
Mr. President.
Good news in the
fight against dr*gs.
I wish to announce
that an investigation
by the Department of Justice
has identified
several bank accounts
from Luxembourg
to the Cayman Islands
used for laundering drug money
on an unprecedented scale.
In cooperation with
five foreign governments,
we have taken
the necessary steps
to seize those funds,
which amount
to over $650 million.
Ah, sh*t.
Also to seize 20 real-estate
joint-venture investments
here in the United States,
which were the primary agencies
in the laundering operations.
Mr. President.
Mr. President.
REPORTER 1: Mr. President,
you did say $650 million?
That's right. It is $650
million and change.
They're stealing my money!
PRESIDENT: Elizabeth?
ELIZABETH: What's our take?
I'm sorry.
What's our take?
Our take. It's hard
to say at the moment.
No, it isn't.
You're stealing my money.
I made it,
and you're stealing it!
REPORTER 2: Mr. President,
can we speak
with FBI Director
Jacobs about this matter?
PRESIDENT: Director Jacobs
is not available for comment.
Someone will die for this.
He's personally involved
in this investigation.
As you can imagine,
he and his team are
pretty busy at the moment.
No, no. This avenue
has to be avoided.
They'll be coming
from the airport
up Avenida Aeropuerto El Dorado
all the way to Gran America.
Santa Fe's our spot.
As much as I would love
to be here for this,
I have to take care of some
business in Washington,

10 members of the escort party
were also k*lled,
and eight wounded.
Five of the dead
have been identified
as security personnel
attached to the...
Cathy.
Don't tell me

I'm right in the middle of it.
Honey, Dan was k*lled...
Dan Murray.
I was 10 feet away.
There was nothing I could do.
I'm coming home.
Thank God.
I love you.
I thought his going
down there was a secret.
It was.
Then I don't get it.
What happened?
Nobody knows.
How stupid are these people?
They believe
they can do anything.
You know what?
They're wrong.
Yes, sir.
They're wrong.
They've directly challenged

of the United States.
No more sending messages.
He wants them to get the message

Those are his words?
Do they sound like his words?
He can't be clear when clarity
is exactly what

Yeah.

You know...
You have no answers.
Is this the way

Did I do this thing?
Are you calling to ask

You don't consult with us,
you put us in danger,
and now you have the arrogance
to want me to believe
that it wasn't you?
It wasn't, Enrique.
You have invited the
Americans to retaliate
against all of us.
I swear, I had nothing
to do with it. Nothing!
Why do you expect me

He's scared.
ROJAS: He should be.
I don't know what you
said to him, but it was right.
[GOING HOME PLAYING]
Strange, don't you think?
Jacobs and his secretary
getting k*lled on the same day.
He wasn't a secretary.
He was an assistant,
a member of the security detail.
Who?
I don't remember his name.
I'm talking about Moira.
What?
Moira. You remember,
Jacobs' secretary.
I know Moira, honey.
What are you talking about?
She said he was
a Latin Jack Ryan.
He was?
That's what she called him.
I know. The point is he's
Latin, which in my mind
connects her death and Jacobs'
beyond the mere fact
that they worked together.
You saw somebody you think
is responsible for both killings?
BOTH: Yes.
[TELEPHONE RECORDING PLAYING]
She did.
[ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS]
She did.
I saw him from a distance...
From behind.
Medium height,

Is that what the people
from the cabin said?
Yeah.
Did you check out
these calls to Venezuela?
Disconnected.
Okay.
So you have no leads, huh?
Oh, I have a lot of leads...
I have a fictitious name
on a register,
I have a stolen,
phoned-in credit card number,
I have two eyewitnesses,
one of whom was in the room
who saw a guy
but really didn't see him.
Wait. Excuse me.
Could you play that again?
MAN: Yes, sir.
[TAPE REWINDING]

You have a recording

Completely out of control.
RYAN: His name is Cortez.
Felix Cortez.
He was a colonel in Cuba's
intelligence service
until a few years ago.
Disappeared.
He turned up working
for the Macheteros,
a t*rror1st group
in Puerto Rico.
Disappeared again.
Then yesterday,
we taped him talking
to a Cali Cartel subject.
Look, I'll fax you
what I have on him.
If he shows up, pick
him up for me, will you?
You know I can't do that.
No, I don't mean you, I mean
the police, the Colombians.
The Colombian police, Jack,
do not pick up
members of the cartel,
I mean, unless they've got
some kind of a death wish.
I mean, you've been down here.
[REPORTER SPEAKING SPANISH]
Wait a minute.
Oh, Jesus.
Jack, something's happened here.
REPORTER ON TV: At least
including women and children.
Colombian police report
that the b*mb exploded
in a car belonging
to one of Rojas' associates.
Jack? Jack?
Yeah. Are you watching this?
Did this just happen?
Just now.
REPORTER: ...of the Cali
cocaine cartel.
It is one of Colombia's
best-known businessmen.
Look, send me all the stuff,
and we'll put a tail
on him if we spot him.
If he's still alive.
I got to go.
REPORTER: ...the latest in a
series of mysterious explosions.
Cops claim the v*olence...
CUTTER: You said it was
going to be a surgical strike.
It was.
It was perfect.
That's a kid they just
brought out, on NBC.
"Take the gloves off. Hurt
them." That's what you said.
I know what I said, Bobby.
Changing your mind now?
It's a little late for that.
No, I'm not changing my mind.
I hadn't counted on this
kind of... Collateral damage,
and neither did he.
It'll be interpreted
just like I said it would,
rivalry that ended in
the blast of a car-b*mb.
Good night.
...indicates that
the guerrilla offensive
against the cartels
by anti-drug units
of the Colombian...
Morning, Rose.
You finish the report?
Hot off the press.
Thanks.
Any chances any of these
bombing victims' names are aliases?
No. All IDs
have been confirmed.
Who are you hoping for?
If he's not here, he's not here.
Cortez.
He's not here.
Um...
Why was Operations
copied on this?
Ritter requested it.
Ritter, huh?
You look very nice today.
Thank you.
Car-b*mb.
What happens when
a car-b*mb goes off?
It explodes.
Right. It blows up
and out.
And a m*ssile?
Mmm-hmm.
This deeper crater?
That's characteristic.
Okay, bring up the
satellite photo now.
HMX,
and TNT,
which, when you mix it 70/30,
you get a compound called octol.
Put enough expl*sives
in the back of a car
and you'll get a crater
that big.
CHEMIST: It's very stable.
Yeah, but would it
still be in it?
The car, the truck, whatever it
was, would it still be in the crater?
I think it would
be blown to bits.
There'd be pieces
of it all around here.
And where is octol made?
Lots of places,
Europe, the US.
But nobody uses it.
Nobody can afford it
except the m*llitary.
ANALYST: An aerial b*mb
would do that,
but that's not an aerial b*mb.
RYAN: It's not?
No.
There is also a cellulose
residue on everything.
There should be shrapnel
here and here,
but there isn't.
No b*mb fragments.
"Cellulose encased
laser-guided b*mb."
Paper.
The Americans are here.
Ohh...
CORTEZ: We have
something in common.
Neither of us
can implement policy
without at least
tacit authorization
from our employer.
We have something else
in common.
We both know there are
American troops in Colombia
fighting an illegal w*r.
I will be staying
at the Hotel Paloma de Oro
in Panama City on Wednesday.
I suggest we meet.
[LATIN MUSIC PLAYING]
CHAVEZ:
6, this is Point. Over.
The stuff's here,
and there's a lot of it.
I'm also looking at
waiting around for something.
Over.
Colombian army?
Over.
Negative. They look
like mercenaries.
Over.
All right.
Get on back here.
Abort mission.
I say again,
abort mission. Out.
Raise your arms, please.
Thank you for responding
to my note so promptly.
You should know
that I had nothing to do
with the death of Mr. Jacobs.
It was an act of madness,
but a typical one
from the men I work for.
What do you want?
Same as you.
Mineral water.
Can we agree
that as long as
Americans demand dr*gs,
someone will supply them?
Look. I don't want to be
here any longer than I have to.
You said something in
your fax about a g*ng w*r.
What does that mean?
That you and I
want the same thing.
The same thing.
Really?
Only so far, you've
done all the work.
You've taken care
of the little fish.
I will take care of
the one that got away.
Once Escobedo is gone,
I will be in the
position to help you.
You want to help me, huh?
Your country, your people...
By restructuring the drug trade,
by regulating it.
What would you say
if I promised you
I will reduce
the cocaine shipments
to your country by half?
I'd say you've been using
too much of your product.
Ha ha!
I can also promise you
regular quotas on major arrests
that your police
can take credit for.
Imagine that, dramatic seizures,
drastic reductions,
no more senseless v*olence.
You'll have your victory.
In return for what?
Well, I also need a victory
to establish my position
with what is left of the cartel
so I can help you.
I need to defeat those soldiers
blowing up everything they see.
Give me maps of their locations.
Cut off their communications.
[GREER COUGHING]
RYAN: DEA's sending
the audio surveillance tape.
I haven't got it yet.
You know what you think about...
[COUGHS]
When you're lying here?
You know you're going to die,
and you think...
That's all right.
You lived a long time.
You had a family that loved you.
You had a job that you
thought made a difference,
that you thought
was honorable...
And then you see this.
I'm afraid
if I dig any deeper...
No one's going
to like what I find.
You took an oath...
If you recall...
When you first
came to work for me,
and I don't mean to the
national security advisor
of the United States.
I mean to his boss,
and I don't mean the president.
You gave your word...
To his boss.
You gave your word
to the people
of the United States.
Your word is who you are.
What else you got there?
I brought you
some new magazines.
The situation in East Timor
seems to have
stabilized during the day.
Good. Is that it?
Except for the other thing.
We've accomplished a lot.
We're seeing tangible results.
Drug shipments are down.
Price on the street is rising.
Perception is that
the administration
is doing something right.
What's the bad news?
I'm concerned about
this latest incident,
the car-b*mb coming so soon
after Jacobs' assassination.
It's just the kind of
thing reporters live for.
They'd love to try to
make a connection.
And you think they will.
I think it's time the
whole thing went away.
If that's what you think.
I think so.
Then it should go away.
It never happened.
Yes, sir.
PETEY: Well, I mean,
it's possible.
It would be a lot easier
if you told me
whose system you wanted
me to break into.
Good morning,

Hmm?

You broke the law.
You are such a boy scout.
Look at you.
You see everything

No, no, no. Not black

Right and wrong!
You see?
There you go again.
Why was I kept out of it?
You weren't kept out of
it. You're neck-deep in it.
You went before Congress
and you got the money for it.
You went before
Congress and you lied...
I never lied to Congress!
[BOTH YELLING]
You told them no troops.
There are troops, Jack.
RYAN: I didn't know that!
You know I didn't know that.
No. "I have no
recollection of that."
That's the term
you have to learn.
Who authorized this?
I'm sure they'll ask you that.
Who authorized this?
I have no recollection, Senator.
I did not sign up for this.
This is somebody's
bullshit political agenda.
Who authorized this?
Cutter?
Cutter couldn't tie his

If I go down,

Ryan's gone, we're back on-line.
You understand?
Yes, sir.
[ANNOUNCEMENTS
IN SPANISH ON P.A.]
Clark.
Hey, Jesus.
Get in the van.
Don't be an assh*le. I
came here to find you.
You found me. Get in.
All right.
All right.
Behind the wheel!
Clark...
Drive!
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
Ritter.
CLARK: Ryan's dead.
How?
I k*lled him.
Turn the op back on.
Clark...
You said get rid of Ryan
and we're back
in business, right?
[RECEIVER CLICKS]
What the hell
are you doing here?
I came to help you
get those guys out.
What can you do to help me?
What do you need?
A helicopter.
A helicopter.
[LATIN DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
No, thank you.
What is this, happy hour?
It's always happy hour.
Your pilot owns this joint?
He lives here.
Here he is.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Morning. I'm here
to rent the Huey.
Sorry. We don't
rent it anymore.
But it is for sale.
Uh, how much is it?
$2 million.
Um, my pilot and I
would have to take it
for a test flight.
Yes, of course.
You just have
to leave a deposit.
How much is that?
$2 million.
Um...
Would you take a company check?
Yes.
Here we go.
She's a big son of
a bitch, ain't she?
You have any time in this type?
Get out of my chopper.
No, no, no.
My chopper.
Let's go.
Their last communication
put them here.
The closest extraction
point is here,
in this gorge.
I got it.
Is that a body down there?
Yeah.
One of ours?
One of mine.
Find a place to set her down.
We'll look for the others.
Nowhere to run to.
No place to hide.
Blood trails everywhere.
They all lead to the river.
These are the falls
we saw from the air.
They should be
about 50 meters down.
You left us!
You left us!
Hey!
With no support at all!
You left us out to dry!
You son of a...
RYAN: Easy! Easy!
Ease up, son!
Get off!
It's not his fault!
Whose fault is it?
It's my fault.
It's my fault.
I was on point
when the last att*ck came,
over a mile away.
By the time I got back,
it was over.
They were taking Captain Oso.
The others?
I buried them.
Road to the town.
They loaded the prisoners here.
Blood everywhere.
God knows where they are now.
Escobedo knows.
What are you going to
do, knock on his door?
[KNOCKING]
Good morning. I'd like
to see Ernesto Escobedo.
I don't have an appointment.
Gracias.
Sure.
Okay.
Arms up.
Arms up!
It's a tape recorder.
He's in.
Bird, this is
Variable. Over.
Bird, this is Variable.
Over.
[SNORING]
Dr. Ryan.
Come in.
Sit down.
What can I do for you?
Well, I didn't know
who else to turn to.
I have a problem.
An associate of mine,
a coffee buyer
and his assistant,
were on a business trip
in this area.
They unexpectedly
disappeared yesterday.
I'm very concerned.
Coffee buyer.
Mmm. It's very important
to me to find them.
Coffee buying is becoming
a very dangerous business.
Yes.
Yes. Well, it was
for Peter Hardin.
Who?
He was a client of Lindo Coffee.
Lindo Coffee has many clients.
Well, you must have
heard of this one.
He owed your company
a great deal of money.
Oh? Well,
I'll have to talk
to accounting about that.
$650 million...
And change.
Are you offering to help me
with the collection
of an unpaid debt?
No.
What are you offering?
A trade.
Felix Cortez has sold you out.
His next move is to
m*rder you, your family,
and to take over the cartel.
Where is my tape recorder?
Play the tape.
[SHOUTING IN SPANISH]
Let's move.
I'd like you to meet
my new friend...
Dr. Ryan.
A doctor? Why?
Is somebody sick?
CORTEZ:
What does he want?
The safe return
of his associates.
And, uh, what does he
offer us in return?
You.
Whatever this man
has told you is a lie.
He lies for a living.
He's in the
intelligence business.
Exactly. You're in the
intelligence business!
CORTEZ: [ON TAPE] You've
taken care of the little fish.
I will take care
of the one that got away.
Once Escobedo is gone,
I will be in the position
to help you.
So, the question is...
What am I supposed
to do with you?
Ohh!
Well?
Guess I'm supposed to
hit you with this bat!
CORTEZ: [ON TAPE]
I can also promise you...
Get up!
Major arrests that your police
can take credit for...
Dramatic seizures,
drastic reductions,
no more v*olence to speak of.
You'll have your victory.
CUTTER:
In return for what?
[b*llet HITS WALL]
Where are they?
They're here.
Seal the plant!
The American k*lled Ernesto!
Come on! Move!
Let's go!
Bird to Variable.
Over.
Bird, this is Variable.
Where the hell are you?
Well, I'm cruisin'
about, uh... Five clicks south
of the village. Over.
Stay there.
I'll get back to you.
Roger that.
No one.
The prisoners.
[GROANING]
[g*nsh*t]
Come on, guys.
Let's go, son.
We're goin' home, boys.
[MACHINERY TURNING]
[MEN YELLING]
Pick us up at
the Lindo Coffee factory.
[WATER RUNNING]
Psst!
[TAPE RECORDER PLAYING]
CORTEZ: [ON TAPE]
From your point of view,
it can eliminate a potential
security problem, does it not?
Not only can I expose
you to the press,
so can the soldiers.
Do you want to risk it?
Do you want to take your chances
with the courts
and congressional committees
and television reporters
and the world?
Do you want to end
the political career
of your commander-in-chief?
Aah!
Aah!
[HELICOPTER]
Come on.
Let's go!
Get your asses in here!
Come on! We got to go!
Come on! Run!
Get your butts in here!
Hold it!
We wait for Ryan!
Yeah? We're out
of here!
[g*nf*re]
Set it down!
He's down there!
[MACHINE g*n FIRE]
Come on!
[MACHINE g*n FIRE]
I've got you!
Chavez, cover me!
Your hand!
Give me your hand!
WOMAN: The President
will see you now, sir.
Jack.
I'm glad you're here.
Sit down.
Can I get you anything?
No.
Come on, sit down.
I would prefer to stand, sir.
Some things have gone on here
that I'm just becoming aware of.
I was kept in the dark,
as you were,
for a very long time.
Troubling things.
Yeah.
And now we have
to sort them out.
We have to figure out
who is responsible for what
and what to do about it,
and we have to do this
very delicately,
otherwise people might
get the wrong idea.
We have to lie.
Did I say that?
No, you didn't.
You're upset.
I'm upset.
Well, it's understandable.
You mind if I give you
a bit of advice?
Of course, you know this
because you're a smart guy.
You should never make important
decisions while you're upset.
You did,
and American soldiers
and innocent civilians
are dead because of it.
I never ordered any...
No. Don't even think about
playing that game with me.
I will not let you
dishonor their memories
by pretending you had
nothing to do with it.
How dare you come in here
and lecture me?
How dare you, sir?
How dare you come into
this office and bark at me
like some little junkyard dog!
I am the President
of the United States!
It gives me no pleasure
to do it, sir.
As acting deputy
director of intelligence,
it is my duty to
report this matter
to the Senate
Oversight Committee.
You're not going to do that.
I'm not?
No, no.
You've got yourself
a chip in the big game now.
You're going to tuck that away.
You are going to
save that for a time
when your own ass
is on the line.
And then you're
going to pull it out,
and I'm going
to cash it in for you,
right?
I don't think I have anything
more to say to you, sir.
The country can't afford
another scandal, Jack.
To protect itself,
it won't allow the possibility
of another deception
that goes all
the way to the top.
You'll take the blame.
Cutter and Ritter
will take some, too,
but it won't amount to much.
They'll get a slap on the wrist
and then $20,000 an hour
on the lecture circuit.
The rest of the blame
will fall on Greer.
Oh, yeah. You'll
take him down with you.
You'll destroy his reputation.
But that's as far as it'll go.
The old Potomac two-step, Jack.
I'm sorry,
Mr. President.
I don't dance.
Ryan, have you got a minute?
No.
We need to talk.
Ryan!
SENATOR: The committee
will please come to order.
The chair will now call
Dr. John Ryan.
Dr. Ryan,
thank you very much
for appearing before
the committee today.
Thank you,
Mr. Chairman.
Please stand
and raise your right hand.
Do you solemnly swear
that the testimony
you're about to give
before this committee
is the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth,
so help you God?
I do.
Dr. Ryan, you may
consider yourself under oath.
Please be seated.
