No, no, no. Por favor, no...
No. No!
Hey! Rápido, rápido! Vamos, vamos!
Silencio.
God, please help us. Please, God. Dear Heavenly Father, please...
I know. Oh, my God. I know. So pretty.
I just feel like I can't breathe. Okay.
All right, well... A little bit.
Maybe just take small breaths. Just like... In and out.
Dress is compressing my diaphragm, you guys.
It's like somebody stole my oxygen. Just breathe. Small breaths.
Okay, Amber, you are perfect, and it is three o'clock.
I need a Valium.
Actually, I need my brother.
Okay. Really? We can do that.
Yeah, I just need a second... Need a minute with my brother.
Yeah, let's do it. We'll be right there.
Let's go, girls. Thank you.
All good? Yeah. I mean...
They're always late.
Give me a minute. All good.
Everything all right? Yeah.
Wow.
Thanks.
I just need you to tell me this is real. It's gonna last.
Well, nothing lasts forever, and he is your first husband.
That's a good point. Yeah.
But it's real. It's love. It's happiness.
That's it, Bug. You did it.
I know.
But, like, I'm not missing something, right?
Yeah, we're different. Our values...
Prince doesn't like family. He only sees his dad once a year.
He hasn't talked to his mother in forever.
Amber, baby...
I'm not worried for you two. I mean, he's good to you, no?
Prince is a guy who's used to getting what he wants.
You've got spine.
It's gonna be a real marriage of equals.
You know how much I love you, right?
Nothing's gonna change here.
It's always been you and me.
Yeah. Yeah.
And Mom.
Okay. If I throw you over my shoulder, this dress will wrinkle.
Okay. Okay?
Let's go.
Wait.
What?
One thing's different.
He's not just another guy in your unit.
You need to bring him back to me.
He comes home.
Yes or no?
I hear you, Bug.
Okay. Okay.
What can I tell you, son? Happy wife, happy life.
Isn't that right?
Congratulations, bud. Great ceremony. Hey. Thanks, man.
Well, that's pretty rich coming from you.
Well, after three tries, trust me, I'm an expert.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, man. Welcome to the family.
I know I'm not your father,
but I would like the honor of stepping in for him today and having this dance.
Would that be possible? Yes.
I'll be back, hon. Excellent.
Anything you need today,
I'm your man, okay? Thank you.
Hey, John, I need the keys to number two.
Yeah, we got that up here for him already.
What's going on, Mom?
Fresh air. Taking it all in.
Enjoying the party?
Not my people. They don't want me to participate.
Maybe for your daughter's sake, fake it as a normal person.
Lay off the drugs.
Or maybe you have a drink. Might improve your personality.
Now get back in there and do your job. Take care of your sister.
You're probably boiling up inside.
She married your rich friend. You still got a job to do.
You make sure he doesn't start treating her like a piece of property.
Is it too soon to talk about a baby?
It probably is, right? Yeah, maybe... Maybe wait till after the wedding?
Or maybe we should... Yeah, we can wait till tomorrow.
I mean, I'm kidding. I mean, I'm not...
He's a deliberate man. Yeah.
He likes to think it through.
But the clock is ticking on the Senate run too.
There's nothing more irresistible than a war hero with a young family.
I don't want the window to close on that opportunity.
Does this remind you of our wedding? Nope. A lot of important people here.
You're pretty important too. Yeah?
You're their leader. All your boys are growing up.
Son, cut in.
Can I get some water, please?
Brother-in-law, right? I am now.
Yeah, Roy Leonard.
Alex Chesborough. Call me "Bambi."
Bambi? That's right.
Prince tells me you're ex-New Zealand group?
Yeah. That was back in the day, mate.
You know the story. We ate snakes in the jungle.
Yeah. Heard that one. It tastes like chicken, right?
It's an important step in a man's life
when you take a wife and start a family. Right?
Nurturing others, not just yourself. That's the true mark of manhood.
Yeah. Cheers to that. But remember,
this is the only family you can call at two o'clock in the morning,
say, "I'm fucked up, I crashed the car, and there's a body in the trunk."
And we're not gonna ask why. We're gonna say, "What do you need?"
Unless you split with my sister.
Nah, then we'll just shoot you.
A couple times.
Well, to murder.
Murder. Murder.
Yes, sir?
Roger that.
Prince!
Yo, Drifter. Brother!
We got a flyaway. Fuck.
You have fun tonight. I'll see you in the morning.
Love you, brother.
Listen up. We gotta be wheels up in eight hours.
We're gonna grab a couple of our own. No more boozing.
Yes, sir. Copy.
Let's roll.
Hey, now you are my North Star.
Like a navigation point?
Like a GPS? No.
A nice human computer bringing you home. No. Like the sun. Like the moon.
You're the whole universe.
I love you.
Babe?
We have a flyaway...
tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Yeah. It's already tomorrow.
I'm so sorry. Hostage rescue.
I'm so sorry.
I have to be on base at 0800.
They let me have the night.
Well...
gives us six hours.
Systems are good. good.
Copy. LZ is three minutes out.
If it gets much worse then we have to abort.
Copy. Starting our approach.
ISR has the LZ.
Copy. LZ is clear.
One minute out. One minute!
One minute. One minute.
Starting our approach.
We're approaching the LZ.
Roger. You should have ISR coverage in 30 seconds.
Have eyes on in 30 seconds. Thirty seconds!
Three, two, one. Doors open.
Doors open.
Anything?
Visibility is degrading.
Lay low.
Ropes, ropes, ropes.
Copy. Ropes coming out on the left side.
First rope is going out. Copy.
Prince, wait.
This isn't right. Something's wrong.
The drone is over the wrong mountain. This LZ is not clear.
Get that fucking drone over the right mountain.
Yes, sir. Moving in now.
Moving down. There's movement on the ground.
Taking fire! We're taking fire!
Ridgeline. Ridgeline!
Prince is on the rope! Prince is on the rope!
Okay, we still have an operator on the rope.
He's off. He's off.
Prince, are you all right?
I'm good.
Abort! Abort! We've got a man down there!
The bird's damaged. We've gotta go back to base and transload.
Then put me down right here!
You're 1,000 feet of elevation and half a klick from the target.
The snow looks pretty soft.
Roger that.
Troops are clear. Troops are clear.
Copy that. Let's go.
What's the plan? Do you have me?
We're being reinserted half a klick away,
and we're climbing back up.
Roger.
Good thing we left our snowshoes on the bird.
The hostages are coming down to you.
They're coming down to us.
Might have to choose between getting the hostages and going for Prince.
That's easy. We get our guy.
No, mission first. Prince will have to wait.
Let's set up right here. They'll walk right to us.
Prince, you good?
I'm good, but not for much longer.
This is bullshit. We're sitting here, playing commando,
while Prince is up there by himself.
Prince? I'm good. I'm good.
Hang tight.
Journalists! Don't shoot!
Don't shoot! Journalists!
US rescue force! USA! We're rescue force. You're safe.
Command, package secure.
Roger. Gunship had to pull off because of daylight. Stand by for QRF inbound.
Get 'em down to the bird.
We also have movement coming up the mountain.
Drifter, I gotta get Prince. Okay.
We're going for Prince.
Drifter, we cannot get any fixed-wing support in there right now.
Prince is alone up there.
On me.
I got eyes on our guy.
Prince, we have a visual on you, brother.
Guys, we've got a bunker up there with a heavy machine gun.
I'm not going to be able to get to you.
You've gotta clear that first.
Triple, we gotta leave our own base and fire so we can get him across.
We've gotta flank 'em. Copy that.
Bambi, you cover our movements. Copy that.
Stay there, Prince. Roger.
Drifter, you're clear.
Bunker's cleared.
Roger. Moving across.
Bambi, I'm coming back down to you.
Drifter!
We got another fighter up there.
Drifter is down.
Bambi, go to him. Go to him! I'm moving!
I'm hit!
Oh, fuck.
You okay?
I'm good, I'm good. Help Drifter.
Prince is hit. Fuck!
Foot patrol leaving the target area.
Six or seven fighters going down to the tree line.
You gotta move. You don't have much time.
Drifter!
You okay?
Just key in the comms, "I'm here."
Just move your head. Move your foot.
Bambi, this is Triple. I can't get back to you, brother.
I'm stuck. I'm at least ten minutes out.
You've got fighters closing in on Prince's position. Thirty seconds.
Just move your foot or your head. Just key in the comms, "I'm here."
Taliban on you in 20 seconds.
Triple, get back to the bird. I got Prince. I'm headed down.
Drifter is dead. We gotta go down.
Are you sure? Drifter is dead. We gotta go.
Fuck! Are you sure?
You feel so good.
So do you.
Hey.
What's wrong?
Is it Drifter?
Why don't you talk to Bambi about it?
Hey, can I ask you something about the mission?
I'm trying to piece it together, but he's not talking to me about it.
He got jammed up, but I was already over the X by that time.
I was doing my thing. He was doing his.
I didn't really see Prince on the op once it started.
Yeah. Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you both for having dinner with me. It means a lot to me.
Of course. We're here for each other. Right?
That's right.
How are we this evening? Three specials,
and get us a bottle of your most outrageous cabernet, please.
And some water for this guy.
Turned your back on him and your meal was gone.
Really? That's funny. Oh, yeah. Every time. Yeah.
Took Drifter's boys to hockey practice today.
First time they'd been back on the ice.
Jason got into a thing with the coach,
but he handled it well. They're solid boys.
They're so strong.
Yeah. Well, they had their dad for ten, 12 years.
I don't understand. You think it's okay for a ten-year-old to not have his dad?
No.
I'm saying they got a lot of substance from their father already
that'll help 'em.
What the f...
People surviving hardship, Prince. It's pretty common.
Right. I guess you're the best example.
Well, I'm just a hard dog.
What are we gonna do, bub?
Maybe you made a mistake.
Maybe.
You did.
Maybe not.
Maybe on the next op, I get smoked for something you do.
You're running loops. Don't put this on me.
You're "hypotheticalizing"... I'm not the problem.
And it doesn't work. You hear me?
And it's gonna get you jammed up next time we're out.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry too. But he needs to own this, otherwise we can't move on.
Accountability is a bitch, man.
God.
Denial is gonna tear you up. It's gonna fuck you up.
Is that right?
Drifter is dead. Your friend is dead.
Do we have to make it about this? Grieving widow.
There's two kids.
We just need to agree on this, man, and come clean about it.
I'm gonna go.
I'm sorry.
You watch your six down there if I don't see you before you go, okay?
Okay.
I'm sorry I was hard on him. I was just trying to tell the truth.
I don't understand you sometimes.
He would do exactly the same to me if he thought I'd screwed up.
No, he wouldn't.
He didn't have to leave him behind.
Well, maybe it's a good thing you're getting out now.
What's that supposed to mean?
Maybe it's not what you're meant to do.
I don't know, jump to politics. What?
Whatever it is, you're taking out your frustrations on Bambi.
You were there too. You didn't save Drifter.
This whole thing falls apart if we can't be honest with each other.
And you're sure this isn't about competition between you guys?
Is that what you really think of me? Just asking.
That's a gross question.
I'm in pain too, but instead of thinking of that,
all you can do is revert to your redneck loyalty.
Okay, I'm sorry, I know that's a shitty thing to say,
but you always take your brother's side, no matter how horrible.
Why did you even marry me if we're not gonna be a family?
I shouldn't have said that. Admit it.
I was way out of... You like it.
You like my redneck fucking loyalty.
That's true.
What is this doing here?
It's a beacon. It's to keep you safe.
Come on. It's the same as we carry. It's military grade.
No, thanks.
You're going to Colombia. Right. I've been all around the world.
Your phone isn't gonna work in the jungle.
This is just basic safety.
Now you think I'm being controlling?
This is protection against an emergency. Come on.
I'm concerned is all.
Yeah, well,
you promised me when we got married you wouldn't do this shit.
All right, so what if something happens to you?
What is this? What are you doing?
You're going out for a run now? Yeah.
Isn't that a little dangerous? Take the dog at least.
I need time alone.
We're fine, right?
Yeah.
Hey. Hey.
Should I stay and take care of you guys?
No, come on. We're big boys.
Relax. Everything's fine. Come on.
Good morning, y'all. Morning.
How is everybody today?
Yeah. Good. Good.
Has anyone taken drugs today?
Come on. What about coffee? 'Cause caffeine counts.
Nicotine?
How about a little spoonful of sugar? It is.
Sugar affects the brain in the same way as substances of abuse.
You see, the truth is we all take drugs every day,
but I am here to talk about the heavy hitters.
Here's a number for you. Twenty-three million.
That's the number of Americans who struggle with drug addiction.
We're a nation in pain.
And this is very personal for me, because my mother is a drug addict.
And it's frustrating,
because the cure for addiction is right in front of our faces,
but the scientific community,
we don't want to admit that there's a cure.
And we don't want to admit it
because then we would be admitting that these guys were right.
You see, neuroscience tells us
that addiction is a problem of the brain not being able to change
once it is hooked onto a substance,
yet we have decades of research that tell us
psychedelics are the most powerful mind-altering compounds on this planet.
Now, I am not suggesting we all drop acid, and we're cured. No.
You need to be in a therapeutic setting, and you need to be guided.
Fortunately, there are people that exist on this planet
who know how to use psychedelics therapeutically.
We call them "shamans."
He must be doing something right,
because addiction is essentially unknown in his community.
In fact, it does not exist.
Touch of ginger, bit of soy.
Yeah, that's magic. You are a magician.
Nah, I'm just one of the elves.
That's good. We're done.
Bye-bye.
Okay, Arthur, lay it on me.
It's our last day in the lab. I am wide open for advice.
We're gonna have one of those moments
where the mentor encourages his star student to believe in her vision.
I believe.
It's everybody else who thinks I'm crazy for going to South America
to study plants and rituals all to find, you know, cures for addiction.
Yeah, well, we talked about frontier science.
You're gonna get a lot of skepticism and ridicule,
but I can see the future, and in it, you help.
With your grasp of alkaloids, you could be the next Timothy Leary.
I do like to do good, but maybe that's vanity.
No.
It's who you are.
I read your study before you came.
We all did.
"Not all frontiers are in outer space.
Alkaloids are the last great black holes. They must be explored."
Thanks.
Hey, Amber. Yeah?
We got enough.
No, keep going.
Be careful.
This is why we came here.
Yeah.
Oh, nice.
Okay, guys. Let's go to work.
Nice. These are all mature.
See?
We need your knowledge for our... for lots of stuff.
I have to. I've got too much work to do.
My family. They're home, waiting for me.
Always.
Is this one?
Don't rob Peter to pay Paul. Is it?
Yeah. I think so.
You wanna know what else I think?
No.
You wanna be the boss, you've gotta pay the cost.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
Well, some people don't have a choice.
A man's character is his destiny.
That's not bad. I like it. Is it Greek?
Maybe.
You heard from Amber?
She hasn't called me in a few days.
I knew she'd get in trouble.
Just hope she wasn't eaten by an alligator.
You know they have 'em all over the jungle.
Or get bitten by a Zika insect and she can't have a baby for ten years.
How does your brain even do that?
I read a lot.
They have human slavery
and whore tents in banana fields where they get you hooked on heroin.
Do they?
Open your eyes.
You better go down there. Take care of your sister, buster.
Why can't we just talk without you turning everything into the apocalypse?
We don't know nothing about the dark side, do we?
Hello.
Welcome.
Do we know these guys?
Yeah, they're from the town.
I don't know why they're here.
All right. Looks like they wanna talk.
What's up?
What are you doing out here?
Scientific research.
I talked to the commander. We already have permission.
We have to check all your equipment.
Gentlemen,
we are here to work.
I already talked to your guys back at the village, the letter is authentic.
Here.
Take everything out.
Check it all.
Hey, what are they doing?
Hey, be careful with the equipment.
Gracias.
God, please help us. Please, God. Dear Heavenly Father, please...
Yeah? Where are you?
Lakewood.
Have you heard from Amber?
Not in a few days.
We need to meet. How fast can you be at my house?
You need context.
Before she left, I put a tracking beacon in her bag.
I've been following it daily.
She goes into the jungle for her research and back out to this camp,
but in the last 24 hours, the signal hasn't moved. It's been here.
New camp? There's no way to camp here.
You see, the signal is at the bottom of a cliff.
There you go.
She got separated from her beacon, that's what happened.
It was in her backpack.
Maybe she tossed it. Yeah.
I'm surprised she agreed to carry a beacon. She's supposed to be sterile.
I just put in her bag. I mean, she didn't want it.
Why would she have to be sterile?
For her work. What are you talking about?
She doesn't need to be sterile, she's a fucking scientist.
I don't know what to tell you, man.
What? What the fuck are you talking about with her being sterile?
That makes no sense.
There's things you don't know, I guess.
Well, go on.
She's got a side thing she's doing for the Agency down there.
A little work for Mitch. She's supposed to be sterile for that.
Is she a field officer? No, she's a subcontractor. Small fry.
How it works is they got thousands and thousands of people all over the world
collecting information... Yeah, I know how the CIA works.
So it's not that big a deal. It's not a big deal?
They put it in a file. Big data. Nobody looks at it.
You are both fucking liars.
She works for the CIA in whatever capacity, she should have told me.
And you should have told me at the very least.
This is delicious.
Where did you get it?
You fucking serious?
Yeah, where did you get it? They don't sell this imported shit in my store.
Where did you get it?
At a high-end, overpriced market for rich people.
Exactly.
This started when we were poor, before she even met you.
That's such a touching story.
No money, no daddy, so you both became liars.
How did they do it? Did they recruit her outta college?
They get her fellowships, money, support.
Well, what about Colombia? Is she taking pictures of sensitive sites?
I'm calling Mitch. No, she does not. That's really fucking dangerous.
Yeah.
I was just about to call you. Well, go.
She and two scientists
got rolled up by an ELN guerrilla group operating in the area.
We have contacts into them.
We know the leadership. She had permission to be there.
It was a mistake, it'll get sorted.
Now, the other two scientists may have been executed, but she's okay.
American, special status.
I need you to call me every 30 minutes, give me an update.
Roger. I got this. Hang tight.
I'm gonna ask you a question.
I want you to really think about this before you answer.
How much do you trust the CIA at this point?
