Agent Zeta (Zeta)

NEW YORK

Thank you all for coming to the event, especially the Marquises of…

BANGKOK (THAILAND)

Inés.

Please say yes.

Since I met you, I've been the happiest woman in the world.

PANAMA CITY

Hey, I have some really good news for you. The ambassador has given the go-ahead.

SPANISH EMBASSY

Yes. I've sent you a link so you can see which room you prefer, okay?

With the dimensions and so on. Oh, hey,

the day after tomorrow, they'll call you from the Ministry.

They're going to pick up all the material, okay?

TOKYO (JAPAN)

SPANISH EMBASSY

Good work, Takeshi.

Thank you for your work.

AGENT ZETA

RIBEIRA SACRA, GALICIA (SPAIN)

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE CENTER (CNI) MADRID (SPAIN)

Here it is.

Operation Ciénaga, hot off the presses.

What do we know about it?

Well, that the four murdered agents participated in it

and, since then, all of them had false identities.

Elena, if the press connects the dots, all hell will break loose.

You know what you have to do. Terrorism, ISIS, Al Qaeda, you name it.

Okay.

In the dossier, there was one more file.

This one.

Get me the minister.

None of this gets out of here until we know what we're dealing with.

All right.

What are you going to do?

The only thing I can do.

Pepe! I have to go.

All right. I'll finish.

Thank you.

Let's go.

How subtle.

With a phone call, you wouldn't have agreed.

I'm not agreeing to anything.

You haven't turned on the TV today, have you?

I don't have a TV.

That's why I'm here, to disconnect.

- I'm on leave, in case you don't remember. - I remember.

I asked you for a year. Half a year ago.

We'll talk six months from now.

I'll be right back.

Iago.

Go on, take this. Like this.

You have to take the spoon.

There.

Come on, you can do it. Come on.

Way to go, Mom. You're a champ.

Why didn't you tell me?

That's it. She has good and bad days.

But when I came back from Beirut, she'd stopped speaking.

Very good.

That's it.

You have your mother's eyes.

She says my personality is just like his.

Right, Mom?

Your father is a legend, they say.

All the fallen end up as legends. Come on.

The last one. That's it.

Andreia.

Very good.

Here, you take it.

The four victims lived under false identities,

scattered in Spanish embassies.

- All were protected by the government. - They were hiding from someone. Why?

No idea. But that someone has found them and executed them.

Why those four?

The victims had a connection.

They participated in a mission 37 years ago.

They are former members of CESID, old-school spies.

What kind of mission?

I can't tell you anything else. There are no records of the mission.

We leave little in writing, but we leave something.

Right. But nothing was written about Operation Ciénaga,

or it was destroyed. I don't know.

Look, Elena, my priority now is my mother.

Whatever time she has left, I'd like to be by her side.

- I can totally understand. - Okay.

But there could be another murder, Iago.

Five agents were involved in Operation Ciénaga.

Only four victims have been found.

- You can't locate the fifth. - Exactly.

His current name is Salvador Ancares.

He has disappeared, he didn't go to work today.

He was relocated to the embassy in Tallinn, Estonia.

He's either dead or has gone into hiding.

Surely. But finding him is much more important than you think.

Ancares is the only person who can tell us what Operation Ciénaga was

and who is killing our people.

I'm sorry, Elena, but this is what you get.

I'll talk to you in six months. I already told you.

If she could speak, your mother would advise you to agree to this.

Excuse me?

I swear I didn't want you to find out like this.

What the hell is this, a joke?

It's the file of Salvador Ancares.

Ciénaga, 1987.

He's the fifth agent I want you to locate and protect.

No, my father… He died on a mission when I was a baby.

It can't be him.

Right.

Éric Baena died 34 years ago.

He and the four agents were buried

before being relocated under these new identities.

My mother wouldn't lie to me about this.

- I'm sorry. - It can't be him.

I'm also only just finding out now.

Iago, find Ancares.

Let him tell you what the hell is going on.

My father is dead.

Iago, your mother is in bed now. I'm leaving.

Thank you.

- See you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow.

My father, is he still alive?

Say something, Mom.

Come on. A gesture, anything.

SPANISH EMBASSY

He was retiring today, that's why it's like this.

We were waiting for him.

- When he didn't show up... - His desk?

This one.

- Has he received any letters or packages? - No.

Something he bought that could've been shipped to him?

No, he didn't usually receive anything here.

- Are you sure? - Oh, yes.

- His cigarettes. - This right here?

Yes.

He smoked, but his wife didn't know, so he had them sent here.

A carton a week, every Friday.

Today is Thursday.

May I have a second alone, please?

- Sure. - Thanks.

Why hasn't he turned up like the others? He must be alive.

I'll get the camera footage from the area.

Ancares or his assassin must have left some trace.

Talk to his wife. See what you get out of her.

I'll call you when I get the footage.

Elena, just one thing.

He has another son.

Did you know that?

Zeta, the important thing now is to find Ancares, okay?

Right.

Is your mom here?

- Hi. Jesús, right? - Yes.

- Come on in. - Thank you.

Have you noticed any strange behavior lately?

On some days, he did act… strange.

Once he did say that he thought someone was following him, but…

Who would follow a cultural attaché in Estonia?

We don't know.

Does it have anything to do with this?

Listen to me, don't worry, we'll find him. Do you hear me?

Mrs. Karlsson, is there somewhere in the house where he spends more time?

Mrs. Karlsson. Calm down.

In here.

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening.

If you're watching this, the five of us from Ciénaga have been hunted down.

If you came to kill me, you won't find me.

Nor will I tell you anything about that mission or what happened. Nothing.

Please don't hurt them. They have nothing to do with it, they know nothing.

And if you're one of the good guys…

Good guys, bad guys, it's complicated to draw the line in what we do, I know.

Two things. Protect my family,

and in that envelope you have everything you need for now.

Iago. We're checking the codes, which look like ours.

- He didn't tell you anything else? - Nothing more.

- Chief, come take a look at this. - Let's see, just a moment.

The codes lead us to GPS coordinates here.

Zeta, confirmed. The codes are ours.

Son of a bitch.

Zeta?

Turn around, God damn it!

Colombian Intelligence Service.

Drop your weapon.

Salomé Suárez. Right.

Your code name?

Alpha.

- And yours, Jesús Bao? - Zeta.

I earned the name "Alpha" because I was top of my class.

I guess you were the worst in yours.

Why is Colombia looking for a former Spanish spy relocated to Estonia?

In the last few days, someone has been following Ancares.

I don't know. When I arrived, he had already disappeared.

And instead of identifying yourself, you attack me and steal from me.

I'm sorry?

I'm the one who ended up across a windshield, aren't I?

- Does the envelope say where Ancares is? - How do you know there's an envelope?

I told you, I was top of my class.

Why didn't the CNI have Ancares under control?

- You don't want anything? - I don't drink.

- I'll treat you. - I don't drink.

- Have you been doing this for a long time? - Too long.
