![]() The Professor eventually follows her to a farm and finds her in the barn, gun drawn. “I am crazy.” She’s certainly crazier than Marseille, who loses both the game of chicken and two tires to Sierra’s handgun while she doesn’t so much as slow down passing him. She orders him off his collision course, and he begs her to quit acting crazy. While Sierra needles the Professor about his narcissistic need to pull off one last spectacular job, Marseille gets off the highway and comes straight at Sierra. Soon the Professor is popping up on Sierra’s dashboard screen - she can’t turn off this “safety feature” (doesn’t seem very safe to forcibly compromise a driver’s attention by pulling their eyes off the road?), and he’s tracking her on GPS. The Professor - assured by Lisbon that they will stick to the plan while he deals with Sierra - gives chase in one of the remaining vehicles Marseille takes the other. While the Professor loses it in the bathroom, Sierra takes advantage of his distraction to take her clip and slip out with Victoria, using the cuticle nippers she stole from the medicine cabinet to hot-wire one of their vehicles. Well, let’s backtrack to what has been happening at the hideout. Tamayo then has to rush out to handle an emergency call from his wife, but what could that be about?! (Not that those soldiers necessarily deserved to die, but it was established in the first part of the season that many of the commandos were war criminals, so I’m not sure how much effect Tamayo’s plan would have had once the media started digging into their service records.) Ángel snits that there’s a difference: Lisbon’s feelings are real. Tamayo is furious: Lisbon beat the cops to define the narrative, so even if he tried to manipulate the media with the soldiers’ family photos, it wouldn’t work. The crowd disagrees, immediately starting a “We’re not leaving!” chant. They’re no longer worth applauding - and they’re probably never getting out, Rio adds as he joins Lisbon on camera - so the “red tide” outside the bank should leave. Lisbon asks the crew’s supporters for forgiveness for the war their rescue mission has become. The crew’s next move is for Lisbon to broadcast an update live online: Seven* people are dead including Tokyo. I realize we had to get Tokyo’s ghostly apparition for this moment, but maybe someone else could have stepped in for Rio so he wouldn’t have had to see her physical remains? Whatever condition she ended up in, it’s bad enough that we viewers don’t see it. He remembers her telling him about her mother’s notion of little Silene drawing a magic door on any wall to summon her mother on the other side, and he uses the ash around Tokyo’s body to draw a magic door on his heart that she can open whenever she wants. Tokyo says the goose bumps rising on Rio’s arm are her way of communicating to him she was at peace. Palermo rejects Sagasta’s framing: “There are no right sides in hell.”Īs Rio carefully picks his way through the wreckage in the kitchen, Tokyo’s voice tells us that some believe the spirit of a person who has been tragically killed briefly remains in the place where they died. Sagasta doesn’t dispute that the world is full of bastards: Soldiers are bad, but terrorists like Palermo are worse. “You still think there’s a right side?” Palermo shoots back. Sagasta muses that Tokyo would have made a good soldier if she’d chosen the right side. If they let Vázquez out, Sagasta will remain as their prisoner, but Palermo will only agree to let a surgeon in and takes Sagasta’s radio and gun while Lisbon and Rio search for any other commandos. Sagasta produces six sets of dog tags to prove the losses on his side. Inside, Sagasta and Palermo sit to negotiate. This just gives Tamayo a disgusting idea: They’ll get the media the most heart-tugging photos of the soldiers’ happy lives to contrast with the wreckage of their corpses, parading them around “like the corpse of Che Guevara.” Appalled, Ángel tries to shame Tamayo out of turning the soldiers’ surviving families into “emotional porn,” forgetting Tamayo has no shame. Meanwhile, Tamayo is getting ready for filth by Suárez and Ángel, the latter reciting how many spouses and children the dead soldiers left behind. But this is where they are - Rio is alive, and he can’t do anything that will get anyone else killed. If it had been up to her, they never would have tried to spring him from that Algerian prison, and Tokyo and Nairobi would still be alive. ![]() There was a time when Berlin would do all their dirty work - what would he have done with Gandía? Rio’s emotions distract him enough to let Lisbon knock the weapon out of his hands. Gandía killed Nairobi in response, they treated him and got him out only for him to turn back around and kill Tokyo. … holding a rocket launcher because, in his opinion, they can’t keep trying to be the good guys.
