North 2-0, Showman 5-0,

I have my men ready. Do we go in?

No, no, no. No, Major, please.

Hold your men. I want Danford.

Copy. Halt! Hold up!

SOLDIER:
Halt!

Bravo 2-7,

follow if they leave.

COLONEL POWELL:

Hawaii 5, confirm PID.

Roger, North 2-0.

I'd like to be closer.

COLONEL POWELL:
Peg 9-0,

go closer for PID.

GALVEZ:
North 2-0, Hawaii 5

confirms positive IDs on

Muhammad Abdisalaam

and Rasheed Hamud.

COLONEL POWELL:

Roger that.

- COLONEL POWELL: Who's that?

- Zoom in.

Is that Danford?

I need a PID.

Sh*t.

Damn it. Is that her,

or does Ahmed have a wife?

I'm sorry,

Colonel, we don't know.

No, not good

enough, people.

It has to be her.

Why didn't we know

she was already in the house?

Movers, say intentions.

- Stay on PAX.

- LIEUTENANT WATTS: Copy.

Bravo 2-7 following.

Hawaii 5, I want a PID on that woman

as soon as we get a visual.

Yes, ma'am.

LIEUTENANT WATTS:

Zoom out.

MOSES:

North 2-0. Showman 5-0.

Looks like they're heading

towards Eastleigh.

So, how do we launch a ground

assault if she's going in there?

MOSES:
We can't.

Al-Shabab controls that neighborhood.

It would trigger

a massacre.

All right. All right, just...

Just stay with her.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER CONTINUES)

(HONKING)

Showman 50, Bravo 27.

It's too risky to follow.

MOSES:
Return to base.

COLONEL POWELL:
Showman 5-0,

do we know this house?

MOSES:
It belongs

to Amadu Mukhtar.

He's a Somali trader,

but there is no other intel on him.

(BEEPING)

Oh, sh*t.

Hawaii 5, North 2-0.

Did you see anything there?

- No, ma'am.

- Sh*t.

Showman 5-0,

we need an eye inside that house.

I have to know if Danford is inside,

and who is with her.

Ma'am, it would mean putting

a man in the street,

and you'd have to get close

to control the beetle.

It would easily

raise suspicion.

What, even if you

use a Somali?

Every stranger is

suspicious, even a Somali.

Moses, we both believe that Danford

is inside that house, do we not?

Yes, ma'am.

And I cannot authorize a

strike without a positive ID.

I believe we have to accept

the risk and send someone in.

Moses, can you do it?

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you.

Appreciate what you're doing.

Peg 9-0, Showman 5-0.

I need you to engage Ringo

at the target house.

We need a positive ID.

(HONKING LOUDLY)

(VENDOR SHOUTING)

Okay.

- Thanks, man.

- Mmm-hmm.

What?

(BOTH SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)

Alia.

Alia.

What's that?

(CAR HONKS)

(BOTH SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(FLIES BUZZING)

COLONEL POWELL:
Get Ringo around the

other side to identify the woman.

That's Danford.

Hawaii 5, confirm PID, please.

PID, Susan Helen Danford.

(SIGHS)
