"It's so early, and I hate to ask, but I have a big meeting this morning, and I didn't have a chance to get to the store, so..." "[Chuckles]" "Mrs. Salib, you are a lifesaver." "[Chuckles]" "Something's wrong." "I was supposed to meet my source at hamdi market last night." "He didn't show." "I tried." "He's not picking up his phone." "Okay, they're following me." "[Tires screech]" "[Tires screech]" "Police!" "[Shouting]" "[Soft thud]" "[Shouts in foreign language]" "Don't shoot." "Don't shoot." "Journalist." "I'm-- I'm a journalist." "Mr. Jensen, welcome to Tariq prison." "I suggest you make yourself at home." "My name is Commander Bahar." "I'll be overseeing your interrogation." "Interrogation?" "No." "No, wait." "Listen." "I don't know who you think I am." "We know exactly who you are." "Kevin Jensen, journalist." "Sahafi." "S-Sahafi." "[Speaksforeignlanguage]" "Yes." "Reporter." "Yes." "I'm an international correspondent for the empire times  in New York." "I'm in Kyrkistan to cover-- objectively cover-- what some people are saying-- human rights violations by y" "as you can see, I've been reading your work." "Stories about oppressed students in China." ""Missing mustard gas stolen by extremists in Libya."" "All very convincing." "But also a lie." "You say you come here to report." "This is true, but not as a journalist for an American paper." "As an operative for the CIA." "CIA?" "Come on." "You don't really believe that." "Go ahead." "Call my editor." "I" "I have a degree from the school of journalism at Boston university." "I..." "I want a lawyer." "And I want a phone call." "And I assert the rights afforded to the press by the humanitarian law set forth by article" "I don't care about the government's policy, Walter." "We're talking about my son." "If there's a way to pay for his release, then look into it, Walter." "We should be exploring every option." "[Cries softly]" "That was the family lawyer." "He's skiing in Aspen." "Meryl, I am so sorry." "[Grunting]" "Kevin's paper's been fantastic." "I spoke with the editor in chief." "She promises to use every resource at her disposal." "What's the state department saying?" "Their intelligence confirms." "He's being charged with espionage." "[Chuckles] Kevin's not a spy, Scottie." "You know him as well as anyone." "And I don't understand." "Don't they have to tell us what evidence they're relying on?" "No, not in their system." "There's no formal arraignment, no written charges, no right to council." "But he will get a trial?" "If you can call it that." "There are no witnesses called." "He won't be allowed to make statements." "Generally, the judge just reviews the government's case in chambers and reaches a verdict." "When will that happen?" "I don't know." "They won't give notice." "Could be a day, could be a few years." "The man I spoke with-- uh, his name is Jerry Langsfeld." "He-- he's the under secretary for civilian security, democracy, and human rights." "He said state was working with the FBI, doing everything they can." "I told him, "you can send a black hawk with a SEAL team and go get my kid." "That's what you can do."" "Let me get you some water." ""That won't be possible."" "That's what he said." "Like I'd asked him if Tuesday was good for dinner." "Jerry's a nice guy, but he's not calling the shots." "There are others I can reach out to." "Thank you." "I'm just..." "Kevin loves you so much." "And I don't know what I'd do without you." "Hey." "Hey." "[Crying softly]" "I'll get him back." "Welcome, players." "For those of you joining our game in progress, today we'll be talking about Kyrkistan, the brutal and unseasonably chilly nation-state located on the eastern border of Turkey." "Leaving when?" "[Dumont] Tbd." "Scottie just said to have everyone stand ready." "Please tell me we're going to get Kevin Jensen." "You know him?" "No, but I know his work." "He's one of the best investigative journalists we have." "He'll do anything for the story." "Yeah, well, he picked a pretty insane time to go sniffing around Kyrkistan." "The country's run by this guy-- president Ahmed Aberjan." "He's supposed to be up for re-election in six weeks, but I guess he didn't like how the polls were tracking because he decided not to risk it." "Instead, he cracked down on the rival political party." "Mm, doesn't sound very Democratic." "Put the whole country on lockdown." "Tens of thousands have been arrested." "Police, military, judges, students-- journalists." "He's taking out anyone who doesn't support him." "So bottom line, it won't be easy getting in undetected." "Especially with the weaponry needed for a rescue mission." "Well, getting in is only the beginning." "We still have to rescue Jensen from a maximum-security prison and get him and our team out of the country safely." "Not that that doesn't sound thrilling, but..." "How the hell are we supposed to do that?" "You don't." "Fine." "Then you do it." "Absolutely not." "Look, Aberjan's on the warpath right now." "The man's paranoid, angry, and we're on the long list of enemies he's pointing the finger at." "That's ridiculous." "We supported his regime." "Yeah, well, apparently not to his satisfaction." "He's making threats, and we're doing everything we can to appease him." "You're letting him railroad an American civilian." "Kevin Jensen's not CIA." "Come on." "This kid's like family to me." "And we will employ every diplomatic resource to bring him home." "I'm sorry, Scottie." "I really am." "But you know the deal." "We need Aberjan." "We've got our hands full fighting extremists in the region." "To do that, our military needs safe passage across Kyrkistani airspace." "If I send in a black-ops team to forcibly extract Jensen," "Aberjan will close the airspace, and the president will fire me, and he'd be right to do so." "I don't need your permission." "Now, you listen." "Your government is telling you to stand down." "I'll say that again so that you don't someday argue to some congressional committee that I was unclear." "Stand down." "They're torturing him, Bob." "You know how they operate." "They'll coerce a confession and execute him." "That's if he survives the interrogation." "[Slaps Jensen's back]" "[Beeps]" "My name is Kevin Jensen." "I'm 32 years old." "I entered this country claiming to be a journalist working for the empire times  as an international correspondent, but..." "That was not the truth." "The truth is I am a deep-cover operative for the central intelligence agency." "I apologize to the Kyrkistani people." "I pray for their understanding, and now..." "For their mercy." "[Beeps]" "None of that was true." "You know that." "I'm a reporter." "Sahafi." "Your denials are an insult." "There will be no mercy." "In time, you will be executed for your crimes." "But I said what you wanted me to say." "You say what you are..." "Not because I want you to..." "But because this is the truth." "Please..." "[Speaking foreign language]" "[Speaks foreign language] Please don't..." "No." "Please don't do this." "[Jensen] Ienteredthiscountry claimingtobe ajournalist workingfortheempiretimes asaninternational correspondent,but..." "Thatwasnotthe truth." "[Keyboard clacks]" "[Sighs softly]" "Hi,honey."

"[Scottie] That'sright." "Notrainingwheels." "[Giggling]" "[Kevingrunts]" "Kevin,becareful." "I'mokay." "[Keyboard clacks]" "Scottie, everyone's standing by." "What do you want me to tell them?" "I lost my son, Christopher, when he was four." "He and Kevin were in the same preschool class-- blue room-- a lifetime ago." "When Christopher disappeared, when I lost my family, the Jensens made me part of theirs." "Kevin's not my child, but..." "If I leave him there, he'll die." "Diplomacy won't save him." "He'll be executed, and we won't know until it's over." "With Howard gone, everyone's watching what you do now, and ordering an unsanctioned black op on enemy soil is going to make a lot of people very nervous." "Where are we on infiltration?" "There's a plan." "It's awaiting your approval." "[Scottie] Let me be clear." "The administration has specifically instructed halcyon to stand down." "For that reason, what I'm asking you to do is even more dangerous and illegal than most of the grey matters we take on." "You know Jensen and his family?" "Very well." "Kevin and my son, Christopher, were friends." "They were?" "Yes, and I've remained close with him and his family." "Look, this is personal for me." "I'm not hiding that, and I realize that fact may be clouding my judgment, but I won't leave him there." "You all have to make your own decision." "If you want out, you have my word there won't be any reprisals." "But if you do, I need to know now." "So, how do we get in?" "Our journey begins with the European union." "They got a partnership and cooperation agreement with Kyrkistan, but president Aberjan has been acting like a real dictator lately." "So that relationship's a bit dicey." "The EU wants a meeting." "Under pressure, Aberjan has agreed to make some low-level foreign ministers available." "Which we thought was an opportunity." "I agree." "Who are they sending?" "You mean, "who were they sending?"" "Two special envoys-- one Dutch, one German." "These were submitted electronically to Kyrkistan for pre-approval a few hours ago." "Of course I intercepted them." "We propose to send these instead, along with a request to hold the meeting up by 48 hours." "Call me Omar Claasen." "TrainedinlawattheHague , fouryearsas aspecial representativeinAnkara, two in Brussels." "[Speaking foreign language] ...Helen Gruner, mostrecentlyapart oftheEU delegation toAfghanistan." "I like it." "Whenyoudeplane, you'llbemet bya governmentliaison." "He'll check your credentials against the ones we pre-cleared." "Mr. Claasen, Ms. Gruner." "Welcome to Kyrkistan." "Documents, please." "[Nez] Andwhatif something goeswrong?" "If it does, you're on your own." "There's no backup this time." "[Cell phone rings]" "[Beeps]" "[Manspeakingforeignlanguage onP.A.]" "Uh-oh." "If things pop off, we take down these two, go back the way we came, try to get back to the Tarmac." "Mm-hmm." "[With foreign accent] Is there a problem?" "Security matter." "I assumed it would be acceptable to review your credentials here at the gate." "I was wrong." "My superior insisted on inspecting them personally." "It appears everything's in order." "If you follow me, I will escort you to a hotel." "Danke." "Yes." "[Scottie]Onceyouland, theclock'sticking." "You have to be out before the real EU envoys show up and your cover is blown." "What about weapons?" "Weapons are my job." "Dumont thinks that we can just, uh... [clicks teeth]" "Drive them right across the border." "How?" "What are we hiding them in?" "There's a trucking company called Kyrkistan logistics." "Twice a week, they drive supplies and equipment across the border to Armenia, where they're unloaded and come back empty." "All I have to do is seize control of the truck in Armenia, load the weapons, and then drive it back across the border undetected." "Forget it." "They'll inspect the truck on return." "How do we hide assault rifles and body armor in an empty truck?" "It's my personal spin on what scientists call a Rochester Cloak." "It was developed at the university of Rochester, although..." "[Chuckles] They never did it quite like this." "So it's a cloaking device?" "Kinda." "More of a system than a device." "Bottom line, it uses a pre-standing array of mirrors and lenses to bend light around objects you want to hide." "Looks empty." "That's the idea." "But go ahead, step inside." "The light coming off the back wall is literally bent around the boxes at the center and projected to the eye unbroken." "Tasty." "Okay, let's do some recon on the driver." "[Nez] Hisnameis evrenmargosian." "Hedeliversashipment inArmeniaat 7h00A.M." "Now, we've mapped out his return route, which generally includes a truck stop about 20 minutes from the border."

"The air in the truck is a lot warmer than the air outside." "What happens when a mass of cold air meets a mass of warm air?" "Thecondensationis going tobreaktheillusion." "You're burned." "Get out of there!" "I made it across." "I'monfoot,about amileinsidethe border." "Thank god." "[Dumont] Question is, what now, tom-tom?" "Wejustlostall our weapons." "Yeah." "And to replace them, we're gonna need a contact withaccess tomilitary-gradegear." "Hang on." "Hang on." "I might know someone." "He's not a soldier, but he makes a living by getting people what they need." "I'llsendtheaddress." "Okay." "Yes, yes." "Your man just got here, Scottie." "You could have saved him the trip." "Volkan, darling, this is no time to be shy." "You're one of the most powerful menintheKyrkistani underworld." "Surely you can get what we need." "Undernormalcircumstances, yes, but things right now, they're anything but normal." "Many of my associates have been arrested." "Many of my assets have been seized." "In fact, the only reason I myself was not arrested is because I maintain high-level contacts within the national police." "Name your price." "Idon'tthink Ineedto tellyou  what the government would do to my family, to my business, if your people were caught and connected to me." "Theywon'tbe ." "You're expanding into real estate, developing areas destroyed by regional fighting." "What if I get you contracts?" "American government contracts?" "No,no,no , now you're overreaching." "Even Howard could not get that done." "Try me." "You and Howard were associates." "I'msuggestingwe be friends." "Okay, friend, truth be told, there is one contract I am interested in." "My daughter is a singer." "She loves your American pop music." "I want a record deal withanAmericanlabel, albumrelease, national tour." "I'm not a record executive." "But you know people who are."

"Most of my stockpile has been seized." "These two are empty?" "Yes." "I don't think our good friend Volkan understands." "We're talking about an assault on a maximum-security prison." "[Laughing] We won't get past the perimeter with two rifles." "We need night vision." "We need body armor, grenade-- I don't know if we need night vision goggles-- you don't want it?" "Fine." "We're done here." "No, no, no, no, no." "We didn't say that, all right?" "It's just not what we expected." "Give-- give us a minute." "Ungrateful." "I am risking my life here." "These days, even the rumor that you spoke critically of the president is enough to get you thrown into a cell." "[Snaps fingers] Yeah, that could work to our advantage." "How?" "You said you had friends in the national police?" "Yes." "Could they get us uniforms and gear?" "Of course." "Why?" "What if someone told the national police that the warden and his staff at tariq prison were supporting Aberjan's rival in the upcoming election?" "I imagine emergency warrants would issue for their arrest." "We could piggyback on that, right?" "Walk right through the front door." "We need a vehicle." "But that could work." "Attaboy." "Hmm." "Naz, you've got a right turn coming up in three, two..." "Roger that." "We're all set." "Volkan's sources confirm arrest warrants were issued forthewarden and16of hisemployees."

"Scottie, the chief of staff's on the phone for you." "Excuse me one moment." "[Sighs]" "What the hell did you do?" "[Scottie] Sorry,Bob, but you're gonna need to be a little more specific." "You know perfectly well what I'm talking about." "Why are my assets in Kyrkistan telling me about a firefight at the prison where Kevin Jensen is being held?" "I think you mean, wasbeingheld." "I told you to stand down." "AndI toldyouIdidn 'tneed  yourpermission." "Halcyon is an independent entity." "Howard founded it that way, ran it that way." "And he may be gone, but that hasn't changed." "Iswear,Scottie, if our relationship with Aberjan crumbles so you could rescue a civilian for personal reasons, you're done." "You could be indicted for this." "Oh, please." "We're way past that, Bob." "ThethingsIknow?" "Thethingshalcyonhas done inthenameofthis country?" "Thisadministration?"

"[Phone beeps]" "We're working on a new exfiltration plan." "So, we'll get you home, just a few hours." "Wait." "No, we can't just leave." "I came here to report on human rights violations." "My camera and my laptop are all still at the building where I was staying." "I need to go get them." "Absolutely not." "The entire government's looking for us." "And we're basically down to handguns." "Please." "The people I spoke with, the victims-- they deserve to have their stories heard." "They spoke to me at great personal risk." "If I don't have my notes and my recordings, all of this was for nothing." "Nez is right." "The apartment's the first place they're gonna look." "I'm sorry, man." "It's just not a risk we can take." "No, of course." "I get it." "You guys have-- you guys have done enough already." "Safety has to be the priority." "[Solomon whistles]" "All right." "Today must be our lucky day." "Government didn't approve of this mission, but now that it's done, they're not gonna abandon us in hostile territory." "So they're coming to get us?" "No." "Oh." "But if we can make it to our embassy, preferably without being discovered, they'll stick us on the next flight home." "But it's not going to be easy." "The embassy is 12 miles from here." "We just sit tight till it's dark." "Dumont will monitor police activities." "We just stay one step ahead." "Stay on back roads, keep out of sight." "Still, it's going to be a long 12 miles." "Mm." "Where's Jensen?" "He was just here." "[Pounds window]" "We risk our lives to go get this guy, and he bolts on us?" "I guess you were right, tom." "Anything for a story." "Screw that." "No story's worth getting killed for." "And I did not come all the way out here for nothing." "Well, now you know how he feels." "Guy risks his life because the work needs doing." "I'm not saying he was right to go, but..." "I get it." "Kevin" "Kevin!" "[Speaking foreign language]" "I'll be out of here in two seconds, Mrs. Salib." "Thank you."

"We'll keep watch from here." "[Siren wailing in distance]" "What the hell are you doing, huh?" "I told you we can't be here." "I got what I came for." "Let's go." "[Sirens continue wailing]" "What do you think?" "I think we should've been chiropractors." "Or proctologists." "Pretty much anything else." "Hm." "Can't defend this position." "Let's go." "Okay." "We had to ditch the car." "We got company." "How many?" "Too many." "Can we take them?" "No, I count six vehicles." "That's at least a dozen police and state security."
