in the north part of the country...

near the Russian border,

and here in the capital.

The problem is

their forces are well-trained.

They're threatening to turn

this whole thing into a civil war.

(indistinct chattering)

Moldova. Russians had it, lost it.

It became independent,

but it's struggling internally.

On the one hand, you have an insurgency,

made up of the regime's

former elite soldiers.

They're well-trained and dangerous.

On the other,

you have most of the population,

who are tearing down the regime's flags

and demanding a new government.

Civil unrest, as complicated as it is,

is a business we're familiar with.

We like to think we're good at it.

But this thing your camera found...

it's a whole new piece of business.

I can't send this video to EUCOM.

I'm just afraid they'd think it's a joke.

(Clyne)

DOD doesn't have a sense of humor.

(Orland) Typically not. Hook us up.

I'm sure there's a scientific explanation

for what's on these,

but until you tell me,

I'm not sending it

up the chain of command.

- You done?

- (man) Yes, sir.

- Get out. Seal us in. Wait outside.

- Sir.

(door closes)

Nobody here has been able

to make heads or tails of this.

It's thrown a wrench

into our entire operation

for reasons I'm not at liberty

to discuss with you.

I can tell you we need answers fast.

- Do you mind?

- You spotted that quick.

Five different helmet cams picked up

something similar in the last three weeks.

At first, our signals intelligence tech

wrote it off as interference.

That's not interference.

I don't think you'd fly me

all the way here for interference.

Wanna tell me what you're thinking?

I want you to tell me

what you're thinking.

I don't know what I'm thinking... yet.

But there is an explanation.

(Orland) That was the first sighting.

Three others just like it.

The last was different.

It involved a member of Delta Force,

that makes it particularly sensitive.

This is Fran Madison with CIA.

What Special Ops does here

is done under CIA covert operations.

You need to sign this

before we go any further.

- What is this?

- It's an SCI oath.

You're acknowledging it's life in prison

if you reveal anything you're told.

(door buzzing and clanging)

(beeping)

(door buzzing)

- (Fran) Cue up the Davis file, please.

- (man) Yes, ma'am.

Three days ago

we conducted a raid in mid-city.

Our communications were intermittent,

and a guy got separated from the group...

where he ended up killed in action.

He got closer than anybody.

Too close.

(radio static)

(whirring)

(Davis) Dagger Team 1, you seeing this?

There's some kind of disturbance here.

(man over radio)

Davis, what is that? What are you seeing?
