Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe Page #2

my name on the mailbox?

Well, sir, I wasn't exactly

in that frame of mind, sir.

As you can imagine,

I was otherwise occupied, sir.

I'll stop talking now, sir.

So I checked my docket

for an assignment...

that would get you out of my sight

for the foreseeable future...

and I think I found just the thing.

Not Siberia. Please, not Siberia.

You're going to Colombia.

Tonight.

Sir, with all due respect,

I need to pack, sir, and, well, uh--

- Are you refusing orders?

- No, sir. Of course not.

It's just that I-

Well, it's been a while, sir, and-

For a mission in South America,

I should really brush up on my Spanish.

Well, you got a 12-hour plane ride, so...

...brush up, amigo.

Amigo. That's "friend," right, sir?

Get the hell out of my office!

So, like a good soldier,

the next morning I was up bright and early...

...enjoying a first-class

plane ride down to Colombia.

# I said I mean what I said

I said baby #

# You try to protect me

Oh #

- Hey!

- # And I know that you won't dare to forget me ##

- What the hell are you wearing, brother?

- I got issued these.

You do know

most of Colombia's green, right?

I don't think the guy who issued them

wanted me to blend in.

Can you turn that crap off?

I was supposed to be taking some Green

Beret named Donohue down on this mission.

Heard he got drunk and set a tank on fire.

- Guess you screwed up even worse, huh?

- Yeah, it would seem so.

What did you do?

Must've been something crazy, man.

- I don't wanna get into it, okay?

- Suit yourself.

- Good luck, big guy.

- Yeah, thanks.

I read over the mission.

Essentially, I was going down to check

on reports of unrest in the region.

Basically, a local Colombian official

with connections in the States...

called in a few favors.

He needed someone

to observe and report on a situation...

...so he could scare up

some U.S. military aid.

And I was the lucky guy who got to do

the observing and reporting.

Sir, I read the file, but I was hoping you

could fill me in on the basics of the situation.

I was dropped into this a little suddenly.

This group,

the so-called Espada Ardiente...

...has been staging serious attacks

all over this countryside.

And the situation is getting only worse

and worse. We need help.

Espada Ardiente. Is that some kind

of homegrown insurgent group?

Yes. Actually,

we don't know much about them.

There's someone I would like you to meet.

Will you follow me, please?

Comandante Veracruz,

let me introduce Commander Axe.

It is a pleasure, Commander Axe.

Comandante Veracruz has worked before

with American soldiers.

- He's at your disposal.

- I believe we have mutual acquaintances.
