Summary

Bandaged up, Marco meets with his team to review the tape. Listening to the recording, the team learns Raymond will be wearing a priest costume and that his mother has commanded him to say he is working for the Russians if captured. He also reveals he knows that his mother is angry that they chose him and that it was the first time in his life he had ever seen her upset. The tape abruptly cuts off after Raymond describes his mission to kill the presidential candidate and pretend to wound his step-father, who will then hold up the dead candidate and recite an impassioned speech the Russian have been working on for eight years. Marco refuses to tell the team what happened after the tape stopped, only saying they have to hurry.
