- Martin! Enough!

I'm okay! Seriously.

I'm going into town.

Anybody need anything?

Try to find some antiseptic.

The pharmacy should have some.

Okay, I'm gonna need some cash.

Hurry back, Will.

Gracias.

I love you.

- I got it. Be careful.

- Okay.

Hey. Did you see

where that boat went?

Guys, any of you see a boat?

Like, a sailboat? No?

Mom?

Please, you gotta help me.

Something's happened to my family.

What?

Hey! Something's

happened to my family!

My boat's been ripped to sh*t

and they're gone!

- I'm Captain Pizarro. You are?

- I'm Will Shaw.

Where are you going?

Take me to the boat.

- Who the hell is that?

- Please, Mr. Shaw, relax.

Will. Can I call you Will?

How do you know my name?

Your mother told me.

- Where is she?

- I can take you to her.

And the rest of your family. Come on.

No, hey!

- Hey! Come on!

- No, no! Hey!

- Come on.

- Hey, let me go! Get off me!

Sh*t!

Will? Will?

Let's go. Come on. Get up.

Are you okay, Will?

Head hurts.

I just got the sh*t kicked out of me.

Where's Mom? Where's Josh?

I'm not sure where they are.

What?

I asked you, "Where's Mom? Where's Josh?"

I left them with you.

Men came on the boat.

They put a gun to my head, and they took

your mother and Josh and Dara.

- What the hell is happening?

- I'm sorry.

- Why are you sorry? What?

- I'm sorry.

Will, I don't book gospel quartets

and Picasso experts.

It's not the job I do at the Embassy.

The only thing that's true is that

I've worked for the government a long time.

So what do you do?

It's a branch of the Agency.

It's a special branch of the Agency.

- And Mom and Josh are gone.

- Not like you think.

- Just don't treat me like an idiot.

- I'm not.

- You are! Mom and Josh are gone.

- I'm not treating...

You're CIA

and you don't know where they are?

I'm sorry.

Is it something you did?

It may be, yes.

I'm sorry, Will.

There's no way

I could ever explain that to you.

But we're gonna get your mother back

and Josh back and Dara back.

Try and get some rest.

- Hey.

- Marty, is that you?

- Yeah, it's me.

- What's going on?

- I'm on my way now.

- What's happening?

- Where are you?

- I'm at home. It's 3:00 in the morning.

I need to see you.

Yeah. Let's go. Come on.

I need you to drive.

Diego, I'm gonna meet Carrack.

I need your help.

I'll call you later.

Does Mom know?

Yeah, she knows.

She knows everything.

- She's my wife.

- How could you not tell me this?

There was no way to tell you.

No way, Will.

It would have never been right

to tell you what I do.

Who's that?

A friend.

Just sit tight.

You gonna be all right?

You're a great son.

Be back in a second.

- Are you okay?
