That word right there means

death. This is a warning.

Yeah. Well,

nobody's dead.

Right?

Lin, hold it up.

Ahead of schedule. I'm

impressed, Sergeant McCall.

Well, you gave us the map. I almost

feel guilty taking your money.

My goodness.

It's exquisite.

If you say so.

What's Lin think?

Hang on.

Lin. Carla.

Did you see it?

Is it the one?

Definitely. The blade is a

little older than I thought,

but the handle's

vintage 14th century.

Wait, hold on.

What is it?

It's the...

The stone on the hilt,

it's not obsidian. It's...

Oh...

It's a ruby.

A ruby?

Are you sure?

Yeah. It's gorgeous.

It's got to be 30 carats.

Maybe more.

I've never seen

a stone this big.

Send me a picture.

Okay, hold on.

How much you think

that's worth?

More than you

or I could ever spend.

Lin, let me talk

to McCall again.

Yeah?

Listen to me

very carefully.

I don't want anyone

getting any crazy ideas

or renegotiating

their contracts.

So, you take that dagger

and you keep it safe.

Do it now.

Yes, ma'am.

Hand it over.

Boss's orders.

Got it.

Good.

Now turn around, head

straight back to camp.

Do not stop

for anything or anyone.

I want that dagger in my...

McCall.

McCall, talk to me!

What's happening?

I don't know.

Uh... Guys?

Nobody move.

Wrap it up.

That way, let's go.

We can't just leave.

Yes, we can!

Stay together!

Hey! Hey!

Santiago,

find the release point!

You, stay with her.

Don't move!

Cut him down!

Cut him down!

Santiago, come here,

come here.

Give me a hand!

Give me a hand!

Lin, Lin. Relax. Relax.

Get Lin down!

What? No!

No! No! Santiago!

Help me! Help!

Get me down!

Wait! Wait!

Go.

Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Vargas.

We've got a slight problem.

The expedition was attacked

and we lost contact with them.

Attacked?

Attacked by whom?

We're eliminating

possibilities.

Gomez swears his men

are nowhere near our people.

Okay, hold on. Have

they found the dagger?

Yes, I'm uploading

an image now.

All right.

Where is the team now?

Last check had them

leaving the grave site.

When the fighting broke out,

we lost GPS tracking.

There it is.

They found it.

They really found it.

Yes. It's exquisite,

isn't it?

Wait a minute. Wait a

minute. What is that?

Is that a ruby?

Yes, sir. You forgot

to mention that before.

Wait. It isn't documented. I

didn't know anything about it.

Oh, my God!

This changes everything.

I'm sorry?

How do you know for sure

that the team was attacked?

I mean, how can

you be certain?

Well, I heard gunfire...

Whose gunfire?

I assume it was enemy fire.

I pay you for facts,

not assumptions!

They took it. They took it!

I can feel it.

I'm coming there!

No, Harry, wait.
