"Six-fifteen." "Why is everybody up already?" "At their age, they're probably just happy they're up, period." "Henry, you hungry?" "Ma, how many times do I have to tell you?" "Don't interrupt me when I'm working." "I'm making waffles." "You can't work on an empty stomach." "It's not good for you." "Mr. Korfelt." "It's the FBI." "Open up." "Couldn't you come back later?" "He doesn't like to be interrupted while working." "We have a search warrant." "You have to open the door right now." "Henry!" "Smoke." "I smell smoke." " Guys, he's running." "He's running." " Copy." "We're on our way." "Turn off the engine." "Now put you hands back on the wheel." "Do it!" "Don't move." "Step out of the car." "Toward my voice." "Come on." "What the hell were you doing?" "Just making things a lot worse for himself, is what he was doing." "Korfelt's facing a couple of years for forgery." "Why pull a stupid stunt with a car?" "Maybe this is part of the answer." "Wasn't just making passports." " Car registrations, gun permits." " Automobiles and weapons." "You might wanna take a look at this." " What is that?" "Code?" " I think I know how we can find out." "Okay, see?" "What am I doing wrong here?" "I'm telling you, Larry, it's the 11th critical fold that you keep..." "I know, I know." "I keep impinging upon my laminar boundary layer." "Right, which results in a high Reynolds number." "See, I can't..." "No." "I can't do this anymore." "I can't." "Hey, don't get all Fleinhardt on me." "It's just the Physics Department Paper Airplane Contest." ""Fleinhardt"?" "Since when did my last name become a predicate-adjective?" "Since your students started using it that way." "Here's a different design." "It's much more forgiving than the billed-face." " Look at that." "Try that." " Let me try this one." " Hey, Don." "What's going on?" " Just work, guys." " Who made this?" " Me." "Why?" " The wings are a little thin here." " Hey, wait." "Let me see this." "Forgive me if all my years of advance applied mathematics take issue with that assessment." "Yeah, well, forgive me if all my years of high-school detention say I'm right." "You go ahead." "You make those wings wider, it'll fly." "What's going on?" "Some idiot tried to run over one of my agents this morning over what we thought were fake passports." "He left this." "Just be careful." "It's a transposition cipher." " Can you break it?" " Yeah." "I'll need some time." "How long?" "Because there's something not sitting right about it to me." "I can already tell you the basic context of this, and it's not about passports." "What's it about?" "There are letter groupings here that I've seen before when I consulted for the NSA." " What?" " Standard code references" " for a very specific type of operation." " What kind of operation?" "Don, it's a plan for an assassination." "We all use math every day." "To predict weather, to tell time, to handle money." "Math is more than formulas and equations." "It's logic." "It's rationality." "It's using your mind to solve the biggest mysteries we know." " An assassination?" "On U.S. soil?" " Yeah." "Charlie, how can you be sure if you haven't decoded the rest of Korfelt's book?" "Pattern recognition." "Everybody here does it all the time." "I mean, you've all played Scrabble, right?" "Your mind knows language." "It sort of automatically searches for groupings of letters that make sense to us, that make a word." "Well, my mind knows codes and ciphers." "I can't help but recognise these patterns." "These groupings are abbreviations." "They're not encrypted." " Abbreviations for what?" " Types of killings." "Open." "Secret." "Lost." "Safe." " Open?" " Open." "If there's no need to hide the murder." "Secret, if it has to appear as an accident." "You're sure about this?" "Korfelt hasn't even started talking." "I've worked with the National Security Agency on intercepts of actual covert communications." "I checked these abbreviations against my logs," " and, yeah, they're authentic." " I've notified Washington." "They just wanna know as soon as there's a threat to national security." "Well, Korfelt's involvement suggests that the assassin isn't local." "He needs a passport." "So the killer needs to get inside the country." "Unless he's already here." " So, what's this one about?" " A possible assassination." "Assassination." " Who was killed?" " No one, as far as we know." "At least, not yet." "You know, when it's done right, you never do find out who did it." "Kennedy, Dallas, '63." "They're still waiting for an answer on that one." "I suppose this'll take you the rest of the week, huh?" "Pretty much, yeah." "Why?" "It's Aunt Irene's 80th on the 27th." " Aunt Irene hates you." " No, she doesn't hate me." "She was just a little disappointed at your mother's choice of a spouse." "Yet you're still going?" "Well, she's still your mother's aunt." "It doesn't change just because your mother's not here." "Yeah, well, I went to her 75th." "She made me dance with her." "A very slow dance." "I really could use a wingman on this one." "I'm sorry." "Even if I could make the time," "I'm supposed to go to a concert on the 27th." " Why don't you ask Don?" " No, Don's too busy." " I'm busy too." " I didn't mean it that way." "Anyway, this is not about you, this is..." "It's about me." "Yeah." "You do realise who has to dance with her now." "You assaulted a federal officer with a deadly weapon." "It was a Volkswagen." "You think it's funny?" " Hey, how's it going?" " Okay." "What does all your behavioural-science training tell you about a man who still lives with his mother?" "Probably about the same as two brothers still mooching meals at their dad's house three nights a week." "Hey, technically, it's my brother's house." "But okay, Megan." "I see how it's gonna be." " I just call them like I see them." " All right." "I don't know anything about a murder." "It's not gonna fly." "We cracked your code." "We know you provided documents and vehicles and weapons to an assassin." "We don't need to talk to him anymore." "We should talk to his mother." "It's her apartment, right?" "You can't do that." "My mother has a heart condition." "Then start telling us what we wanna know or think about a defibrillator for Mommy." "He'll kill me." "Don't you understand?" "Look, Henry," "I'm all you got." "I don't know names." "Only a code reference." "Condor." " And who's the target?" " He's a Colombian." "A kid, I think." "His father was an activist who got killed down there." "Immigration list of registered aliens from Colombia." "Korfelt's description fits Gabriel Ruiz." "Twenty-four, he's a film student, and he seems clean." " Why him?" " His dad, Raul Ruiz." "He was big in the reform movement." "He disappeared three years ago with an older son, Estevan." "A month ago, a crew digging a highway bed uncovered the bodies." "You think this kid knows who killed his father and brother?" "If he did, he'd be dead a long time ago." "So why kill him now?" "Well, finding the bodies was big news." "Maybe it brought the spotlight back." "Yeah, right back on to the last surviving son." "You know, even if I wanted to, I can't go back." " No?" " No." "Due to the murder of my family," "I was exiled by the Colombian government." "Exiled?" "For what reason?" "For being my father's son." "Doesn't really matter, though." "I have no intention of going back." "Colombia holds nothing for me anymore." "What about what happened to your father and brother?" "It's not a mystery, Agent Eppes." "The government's corrupted by the cartels." "And they murder anyone who goes against them: prosecutors, judges, reformers like my father and my brother." "And you never thought about revenge?" "I was just 21, living in Bogotá when they were killed." "My mother died when I was young." "I had no family, no money." "Whatever friends my family had were frightened back into their holes." "Is it possible that whoever killed them thinks, for some reason, you pose as a threat now?" "How?" "I'm a 3rd-year film student who owns a small café." "I loved my father and my brother, but their country isn't mine anymore." "You know, I talked to my dad once about America, when I was applying to schools." " Oh, yeah?" " Yeah." "He wanted me to get an education here, but he warned me that America can make you forget where you come from." "That first night, arriving in Los Angeles," "I prayed to God that my father was right." " Hey, you still up for lunch?" " Yeah." "Hey, I spoke to my buddy." "He says I can get those tickets for the concert for the White Stripes." " Charlie, what is all this?" " The methodology of assassination." "You have a lot of variables here." "I mean, isn't there any way to narrow them down?" "Well, knowing how the assassin intends to carry out the killing would help." "If he has to make it look like an accident, that would limit his methods and opportunities." "Charlie, where did you learn all this stuff about assassination?" "If I told you that, I'd have to kill you." "Okay, seriously." "Seriously." "What do you know about something called Condor?" "I am an official of the Colombian government." "And it's not appropriate for me to address certain topics." "Counsellor Benavides, you think it's appropriate for your country to play out its problems on the streets of L. A?" "It's a protocol from the past." "Operation Condor, a pact made in the '70s by six South American nations to kill each other's political enemies." "It involves the use of a highly-trained assassin." "So why would a protocol like that be taken out against Gabriel Ruiz?" "The name Ruiz is very powerful in Colombian politics." "It carries great hope, much like the name Kennedy once carried." "And just like John Jr., who didn't wanna go into politics after his father was murdered, everyone expected that sooner or later, he would." "So kill him before he has a chance to change his mind?" "An obvious murder would cause an outcry in Colombia." "They'd have to make it look like an accident." "Hey, Charlie." "Listen." "We're thinking Gabriel's assassination is gonna look like an accident." "Awesome." "That gives us a better chance at winning this game." " What game?" " Hide-and-seek." " What, like the kids' version?" " A mathematical approach to it, yes." "See, the assassin must hide in order to accomplish his goal." "We must seek and find the assassin before he achieves that goal." "Behavioural game theory." "Yeah, we studied this at Quantico." "Not in the way that Rubinstein, Tversky and Heller studied two-person constant-sum hide-and-seek with unique mixed-strategy equilibria." " No, not quite that way." " Just bear with him." "Concept's simple." "It's almost instinctive." "But when an assassin has many opportunities to hit his target, it gets complex." "Imagine the game Battleship." "Okay, it's essentially a hide-and-seek game." "Except, let's say the ships can be moved." "One player tries to get his ship on several squares of opportunity before all his ships are found." "Now suppose that the player hiding has limited options." "He can only move one ship at a time, one square at a time." "That will give the player seeking him the ability to calculate his likely moves." "So you're saying, if we know Condor's opportunities, we can predict the attacks?" "Not predict as much as calculate the probabilities." "If Condor has to make this look like an accident, he can't use, say, a gun or a bomb." "He has to avoid witnesses." "He's limited." " So limited by locations, methods?" " That's right." "How long will it take you to come up with probabilities?" "Soon." "Of course, the accuracy will improve the more I know about Condor's abilities." "So I think you should talk to the man you arrested again." "This is the U.S. Marshall." "We're coming down." "Open the gate." "The van should be on the south side of the building." "Copy that." " Can we walk a little faster?" " What's your rush?" "I'd just like to get to prison as soon as poss..." "Everybody get down!" " One L-10, code four." " Copy that, One L- 10." "No evidence of the sniper's setup anywhere." "A type-four flack jacket should stop a high-velocity round." "But this went right through the trauma plate." "It was a.308-calibre tungsten bullet." "Not the kind we'll find at the corner gun store." "No one knew about the move?" "Not even the jail staff?" "Shooter must've been waiting for him." "If we're saying that Korfelt was supplying Condor with everything from documents to weapons, we should be running down every name in that codebook, okay?" "I wanna get someone on Gabriel Ruiz today." "You got it." "How'd you come by all this hard data on assassination techniques?" "I have a friend at the NSA," " who has a friend at the CIA." " Don't even tell me." "You know what's interesting?" "When a death must look accidental, we automatically reject modern weapons in favour of methods that've been around thousands of years." "Drowning, smothering, blow to the noggin." "I think we have to give value to defenestration." "What's defenestration?" "Charles, come on." "When I was an undergrad, even Math and Science majors had to have English." "I took English, Larry." "Didn't memorize the dictionary." "Okay, well, the ideal of the Renaissance man, is just still a goal with me." "Defenestration is the act of throwing something out the window." "Oh, I got that covered." "In fact, the most effective method of killing a man is to drop him onto a hard surface from a height of at least 75 feet." "It works every time." "Does your subject often stand by high windows?" " I have no idea." " I see you have his schedule here." "But do you do know if he jaywalks in traffic?" "Attempts home repairs?" "I get it, I get it." "I should be aware of all the opportunities" " that Gabriel Ruiz might present." " Yeah, or you don't have all the data." " I have to actually talk to him." " Yeah, it's fieldwork." "It's just fieldwork." "There's no substitute." "So Korfelt's got no activity on his credit cards for the last three weeks." "Yeah, he was laying low." "There's gotta be something." "Yeah." "Rumour has it you got an eyeful in Afghanistan." "It wasn't so bad, you know." "College degree kept me off the frontline and all." "That's why you joined the bureau?" "Wanted to get some action?" "What else was I gonna do with three years of interrogation techniques?" "Wait a minute." "Korfelt's mom." "We ran her credit cards, right?" "Yeah." "That should be in that package." "Bingo." "Used at a bookstore on Melrose five times in the last two weeks." " What's the address?" " 6215 Melrose Avenue." "Look." "It's only a couple of blocks from the Colombian Consulate." "I wonder if he had a contact there." "Let's get a list of Consulate employees." "See if Ruiz recognizes any names connected to the murder of his family." "Yeah." "Will do." "Look, I'd feel more comfortable if someone else" " got Gabriel's schedule for you." " That's not as effective." "I need to work the data against the risk-success scenarios that I've established." "I'll have very specific questions, Don." "Besides, with a secret assassination, the odds of an attack are less likely" " when the target is with others." " I'll set it up." "But I'm gonna have an agent with you." "I gotta answer to Dad about..." "Yeah, well, somehow you managed to escape an invite to Aunt Irene's 80th birthday party." "Lucky you." "Yeah." "Dad invited me." "He didn't even bother asking you, because, well, you're working." " I'm in the middle of a case." " Always in the middle of a case." " Charlie, I've done my share." " Yeah." "I live with him." " That's your choice." " Don, I can't go." "I have concert tickets for that night." "It's for me and Amita." "Charlie, well, I've gotta find an assassin, okay?" "So assassin, concert." "Concert, assassin." "You tell me." "I don't know why everything always has to fall on my shoulders." "Dad doesn't wanna go alone." "Think about it." "I'm not sure I really understand why all this is necessary." "I thought it was explained to you." "They told me there was a chance someone might want to harm me." "I told them there was no reason." "Now you show up." "Some kind of assassination specialist?" " I'm a mathematician, actually." " Mathematician?" "I consult for the FBI." "I'm here to get some parameters of your movements." "Your daily routine." "Where you go and how you get there." " You're studying film, right?" " Yes." "And I own a small café." "What?" "Does your café have ain'tight, walk-in refrigerators or freezers?" " Yes." " You need to avoid those." "They're problematic." "I also need to list your hobbies and regular activities." " I like hiking." " Hiking could also be problematic." "It's easy to stage an injury or leave the person alone to die of exposure." "Also, during certain seasons, hunting accidents..." "Then someone really is trying to kill me." "Eppes." "That was the same name the other agent had." "We're brothers." "You don't worry about him?" "With his job at the FBI?" "I guess I just don't think about it that much." "Either did I." "I was the youngest." "My brother always tried to keep me away from their work." "I heard about what happened to your family." "I'm very sorry." "Okay." "What about driving?" "Or just even walking down the street?" "Driving would be better." "A staged vehicle accident often results in injury but not death." "So you're saying that there's no way to keep myself safe?" " You should be taking precautions." " Like what?" "Like not walking?" "Not working?" "I don't want this, any of it." "You tell whoever's behind this, I want nothing to do with it." "Nothing." "At least the parameters he gave you should prove to be very useful." "They're more than parameters though, aren't they?" "What we're really looking at here is all the ways Gabriel Ruiz might die" " in the next few days." " Your work didn't create this assassin." "No." "But until Gabriel spoke to me, he had hope." "Research can't be performed in a vacuum." "The subject will be changed by the process." "It's just hard to look somebody in the eye and tell them there's a strong probability" " they're going to be murdered." " Oh, yeah." "But would you rather less involvement, or a more accurate result?" "I thought I heard somebody back here." "Hi, Larry." "So, what are you guys doing?" "Still working on Don's case?" " A difficult problem." " Don's very lucky to have two of the most brilliant minds of Los Angeles helping him." "It's not really the math that's proving so difficult here, it's encountering the human stakes." "Charlie?" "I never realized how hard it must be for Don." "It's not easy what he does, is it?" "No." "No, it's not." "Did you ever try to talk him out of doing that kind of work?" "We are talking about Don, right?" "See, Charlie, the thing about kids is that you can't make them into what you want." "You can teach them values, character, a little common sense, but then you have to let go." "You have to let them become the man or woman they were intended to be." "That doesn't sound easy either." "No." "Believe me, it's not." " Agent Sinclair." "Here for Gabriel Ruiz." " He's inside." " Is Charles Eppes still here?" " Agent Eppes' brother left a while ago." " All right." "How's it going?" " Pretty good." " I don't see him in here." " What are you talking about?" "Hey." "Hey!" "Help." "Help me!" " Hey!" "In the water!" " Help." " Help." " FBI!" " What happened?" " I don't know." " I just saw him." "He wasn't moving." " Get him to shore." "Easy." "Easy, easy." "Ready?" "One, two, three." "Call 911." "Ruiz's blood alcohol level was 0.2, and a preliminary tox report found diazepam." " That's a muscle relaxant." " I got your message." "Is he all right?" " He's all right." "He's recovering." " What happened?" "David found him unconscious in the canal." "Did you talk to the guy who rescued him?" "What do you mean, the guy who rescued him?" "When I got there, a guy was pulling him out of the water." "Basic protocol of a secret assassination, be the first respondent." "I think you were face-to-face with Condor." "I don't remember any man." "Certainly can't describe him." "What's the last thing you do remember?" "Your brother and I spoke, then I went and fixed something to eat." " What'd you eat?" " Just something from my café." " You also had something to drink." " Some wine." " The wine from the same café?" " Yes." "You went for a walk alone." "You avoided the agents sent to guard you when you knew your life was at risk." "It was foolish." "I know that now." "You walk around these canals with alcohol and enough diazepam in your system to knock you out." "You think I did this to myself?" "My brother said you were pretty upset." "I went to clear my head." "That's all." "All right, this is a list of names of people who work at the Colombian Consulate." "Take a look at it." "Put a mark next to any names that are linked to your family's enemies in Bogotá." "So you believe that Condor is real?" "And that they have one of their assassins here in Los Angeles?" "I also have evidence linking the plot to your office." "What do you want?" "I want the name of the person running the operation." "Look, Henry Korfelt's credit card records show him buying coffee for himself and someone else five times." " You believe it was me?" " Think I'd be here if I did?" "I don't know anything about a murder plot." "Hold on." "This is a list of people who work at the Consulate." "Now, someone on this list does." "Even if what you are telling me is true, by helping you, you're asking me to betray a fellow countryman." "No." "What I'm asking you to do is save one." "Charlie." "Hey." "Gabriel's new schedule." "He's following a far more restricted routine." "I don't know if it's enough to stop Condor." "If I'm right, it may alter his methods." "You see, he may be considering a low-probability attack." "He thinks that's what we won't be looking for." "If he's trying to outthink us, we'll try to outthink him." "It's cognitive hierarchy." "A zero-step thinker will play the obvious moves." "A one-step thinking will play the non-obvious moves." "While a two-step thinker will consider both types." "Have you talked to your contact at the Consulate?" "Yeah, I'm hoping she'll spread the word, but I don't know." "This type of conspiracy relies on people feeling like no one knows what they're doing." "Once they hear the FBI is on this case, it's likely to force a change in strategy, which I can't account for." "So does that make me a three-step thinker?" "Keep working with me, you'll get there." " Shut up." " Soon enough." "Soon enough." "You work it out with Dad about Aunt Irene's party and your concert?" "Oh, you know what?" "I couldn't even get the tickets." " So you don't have a date with Amita?" " No." "No big deal." "What is going on with you guys?" "You've been playing this game for a year." "It's okay." "When are you gonna start living your own life and realise that Dad can take care of himself?" "I'll tell you what." "Help me catch this guy, and I'll go to Aunt Irene's next party, all right?" "Deal." " Hey." " Where you been?" "Local DEA." "Running down the names from the Colombian Consulate." "I got nothing." "How'd you guys do with Korfelt's known associates?" "Charlie decoded a name from Korfelt's book." "W. Wells." " Okay." " We ran down 47 people." "First initial, W, last name Wells." "Found three of them with sheets." "One Warren Davis Wells has a record for sale and possession of illegal weapons." "But aside from his name in the book, has no other ties to Korfelt." "Well, Condor shot Korfelt with a high-powered rifle." "He probably got that locally." "Maybe Korfelt's L.A. contact." "We don't have an address on him." "But according to this, he has a brother who own a computer shop in West L.A." "Drive safely." " Hey, Amita." " Hey, Charlie." "How's the hunt for Red October going?" " You know, the assassin." " Oh, I'm..." "I'm working on it." "Listen, there's something I need to talk to you about." "The concert." "I don't think I can go." "Oh, too busy with the case?" "Actually, no, it's a family event, and my Dad doesn't wanna go alone." " I see." " I mean, you can have the tickets." " That's not a problem." " No, I can't." "I already bought them." "I bought them for you." "It'd be a shame if you didn't go and have a good time." "Actually, Charlie, I have other plans." "I'm going to San Diego." "Dr. Kepler's giving a seminar at UCSD." "After what happened at dinner..." "I'm sorry, I just..." " I didn't think you'd actually get them." " Right." "No." "I mean we've talked about this so many times..." "I totally understand." "It's not a big deal." "I'm sure I'll find somebody who wants tickets." "It's the White Stripes, so..." " I'll see you later." " Okay." " Is Warren Wells here?" " I don't know." "I'll go check." "Hold on." "We'll see for ourselves." "Sit down." "Get back." "Do not move." " Put it down." " Drop it." " Put it down." " Come on." "Put it down slowly." "Put it down, right now!" "Put them there." " If you fired, you'd have blinded me." " Should've closed your eyes." "Looks like we have a very different type of MAC." "Wells did a stint in the Army, then went to work for a gun manufacture." "Then he got into arms dealing, but single-point transactions:" " hard to acquire or custom-made." " Very hard to acquire." "I found this at Wells' shop." "It's a FRAG-12 cartridge." "High-explosive fragmentation round." " What shoots this?" " This." "Auto-assault 12 combat shotgun." "Uses a gas piston." "No recoil." "Fast and easy." "When you just really gotta kill someone." " If Condor's got a gun like this..." " Then when Gabriel Ruiz tries to run, he's just gonna be really tired when he gets killed." "Condor's decision to employ this weapon changes everything." "It makes it pretty hard to keep the murder a secret, right?" "Sure." "And an open assassination means Condor's opportunities increase like fivefold, tenfold." "Warren Wells' computer-repair shop got a new client two weeks ago." "The Colombian Consulate." "Check it out." " Repaired six of their computers." " What's that mean?" "Hard evidence of a link between the consulate and Condor's weapons dealer." "It gives credence to him being run by someone in the consulate." "If that's true, it's a connection we can exploit." " How?" " By removing step-thinking entirely." "It's like the game of chess, where you must think first, before you move." "Each player's trying to outthink each other, trying to guess each other's moves, each other's strategy." "The complexity of the game requires multi-step thinking." "However, if one player can create the illusion he has committed a zero-step move, a move that would give his opponent a significant advantage, that can create a false-step of thinking in his opponent, which will then prompt a move that delivers checkmate." "You eliminate the need for a strategy by creating a move outside the conditions of the game." "In other words, you set up an ambush." "Right." "Because if he's being run by someone inside the consulate, we use Benavides to make Condor think he's got some kind of privileged information, and theoretically, he steps up his game, right?" "Right." " Gabriel's going back to Colombia." " Going back to Colombia?" "How?" "My country's got a standing exile order against him." " It's gonna be lifted in 48 hours." " I know nothing about this." "Where did you get your information?" "Seems your country's been after a pretty sizeable DEA grant." " The U.S. decided to step up." " To get rid of its problem." "As soon as it's lifted, he's gonna be on a military jet bound for Bogotá." "Till then, he'll be under FBI protection." "I just thought you'd wanna know." "What do you expect me to do with this?" "I don't know, Sonya." "I wouldn't sit on it if I were you." "Can't imagine your supervisors being happy if you withhold information about the well-being of one of their citizens, you know?" "So the trap at the safe house is set." "If Benavides or anyone else at the consulate is Condor's contact..." " Then Condor's up to speed." " Yeah." "He'll move fast." "The window of opportunity is closing." "Right." "We've only narrowed it down to a couple hours, one location." "And agents placed strategically to give the illusion of an exposed entry." " The game has changed completely." " This is a game we know how to play." "We're just supposed to sit here and wait for him?" "Yeah, that's pretty much the plan." "And what makes you so sure he'll really show up?" "Actually, you." "Don't worry about it." "Everything's gonna be fine." "That's why they call it a safe house." " FBI!" "Drop it!" " FBI." "Don't move!" "Drop the gun!" "Get you hands out where I can see them." "Get your hands out!" "Get them out!" "Don't!" "Who do you work for?" "Tell me who you work for." " Sonya." " Agent Eppes." "So I heard that the man you were pursuing is dead." "Who was it?" " Truthfully?" " Yeah, truthfully." "I have no idea." "But I am very glad that you succeeded in saving Gabriel Ruiz's life." "Come on." "You and I both know if whoever put out that contract isn't caught, that kid doesn't stand a chance." "Failed assassinations rarely bode well for the long-term health of those who plot them." "We're willing to share with your government what we know." "Yeah, when your government shares what they know with you." "What does that mean?" "The truth is that the best assassins in Colombia are trained by your CIA." "I want you to remember that the next time you talk about Colombian problems being played out in the streets of Los Angeles." "So who was the Condor?" "Prints didn't show up any database." "Not ours, not Interpol's." "Oh, come on." "Somebody's gotta know who he is." " He's not a ghost." " Just because he's dead, doesn't mean there aren't a lot more just like him, out there somewhere." "Yeah." "Gabriel may be right." "There may be no way for him to really save himself." " I appreciate you coming." " I wanted to see how you're doing." "Well, thanks to you and your brother, I seem to be doing fine." "It also gives me a chance to thank you." "And to say goodbye." "I'm going back to Colombia." " Are you serious?" " My exile's been lifted." "Gabriel, killing the assassin doesn't make you safe there." " I wasn't safe here." " Still, your probabilities for survival are way better if you stay in America." "The truth is, I'm not so afraid anymore." "Don't get me wrong." "I'm not any braver than I was." "It's just, somehow, this Condor finding me has given me a chance to find myself, I guess." "Turns out I'm a Ruiz after all." "What'll you do when you get there?" "I know I can't be my father and brother." "All I can do is take my camera down there and try and tell their story." "And in telling theirs, maybe I learn my own." " What are you doing here?" " Well, I'm ready to party like it's 1899." " Lose the suit." "Go find Amita." " Amita's in San Diego." " What?" " Yeah." "It's a long story." "Bummer." "Well, we all got them, pal." "Who got the tickets?" " Larry." " Larry's into the White Stripes?" "Oh, now, isn't this nice?" "We're all going to Aunt Irene's together, huh?" " Yeah." " Ready?" "Hope you brought your dancing shoes." "She hired a band." "Yeah, from the big-band era, I hear." "Hey, well, a little Glenn Miller, a lot of drinks, what could be bad?" " Yeah, just a word of advice." " Yeah?" "Make yourself scarce when the slow music starts." " Dad, you're the designated dancer." " No, she hates me."
