Plot[]
Cold Open[]
Luis Gomez kneels while lighting candles in a flower-filled part of a greenhouse. There is a picture of a woman and a girl, which he strokes. He speaks to them as he does, telling them that the candles are to guide their souls home. Rafa enters, asking forgiveness as he does. He tells Gomez that "he" has finally admitted to being in contact with the Americans but won't say any more. Gomez stands and leaves the greenhouse. There is a bloodied man tied to a chair. Gomez approaches him, but before he can speak there is an explosion and several armed men in skull masks rush in. They free the bound man and capture Gomez, putting them in the waiting SUV. One of the masked men removes his mask, revealing him to be James MacGyver. "Let's get the hell out of here."
