Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

So...

So, this is your specialty?

The cartels in Mexico are your specialty?

Yeah. Yeah.

Is there anything I should know?

You're asking me how a watch works.

For now, just keep an eye on the time.

Okay.

How you doin'?

Howdy! How you been?

Good, buddy. How you feelin'?

Well, when I pee, it burns.

Maybe it's gonorrhea.

What color is it?

Yellow with red specks.

Red specks or blood?

I'm tryin' to get DOD to let me look into this

conspiracy to sink Fiji.

- Fiji?

- Yeah.

Leave Fiji alone, terrorists!

Exactly. I figure a month or two over there,

we'll get it all worked out.

So, who's goin' over there today?

Marshals, DEA...

I pulled a team for you, Matt.

Oh, man, I love it when you say "a team."

it makes me all warm and fuzzy.

They're a crack bunch, too.

Just rotated back from Afghanistan.

Where's everybody linkin' up?

A.l.C.

Good, good, good.

Mexican Federal Police

will meet you at the border,

and proceed with you to the courthouse,

located here.

This is a high-level target.

The most likely spots for an attempt

will be at the exchange,

and at the border crossing on the return.

The Marshals will enter...

Kevin, Keith, you wanna stand up?

Now, the Marshals' response team

is in Laredo...

Love Texans.

...so our friends from Delta

have volunteered to come along,

and will escort the Marshals

on the exchange.

And here's the man of the hour.

You comin' with or waitin' here?

We'll take the tour with you.

Loan us a couple pop guns.

All right, this is turnin' into an all-star affair!

Keith, you want another hand

on the exchange?

You sober?

Will be by the time we get there.

Got a bottle in the truck

in case your hands get shaky.

I know I could always count on you, Keith.

All right, we'll gear you up

as soon as we're done here.

Now, Matt, you can be the tip of the spear,

and we don't have to rob a guy from Delta.

Now, be careful on the turnaround.

If the Federale's a shooter,

it's gonna happen on the turnaround.

Delta's Team One will be the lead vehicle.

We can divide Team Two between the

carry car and the trail vehicle. That okay?

Good. Now, Delta,

if you can identify yourselves,

so everyone knows who to hide behind

if sh*t hits the fan.

The most likely spot for a hit will be

at the border crossing on the return.

Anywhere along the way, anyone not

in this room is a potential shooter.

The op isn't over until we get back here.

Okay?

Be alert. Be vigilant. And be aware. Let's go.

What?

Hey! I thought you were in prison.

They took me out.

They needed somebody for this job.

For good behavior or bad behavior?

Have you ever been over there?

I worked in Jurez.
