Get me everything you can on Domingo Chavez.
[Chavez] Chao Fah Sein wants out. He said
my entire operation was controlled by the Triad, and
that whoever was running us in Washington was in their pockets.
- So what are we getting at? - Convergence.
The fusing of a drug cartel with a terrorist organization.
[Morales] They want me to seize the lab.
- [Chavez] How much? - Double.
[Chao Fah] This was a money problem.
That's your department.
It was Jack Ryan.

[newsman] Violence continues on the streets of Lagos
nearly three weeks after the assassination of President Udoh.
The so-called "death squads" are believed to be supporters
of infamous warlord Ekon Ameh,
who's expected to make a play for the presidency,
potentially ousting Interim President Okoli.
The continued violence has destabilized the region
as many global leaders are left wondering
who will be in power once the dust settles. The warlord...
[Ade] Are you sure you still want to land in Lagos?
[Wright] We'll assess on the tarmac.
- Still appreciate the invite? - [Ade] Oh, of course.
This is not typical of the CIA.
No, it's not, but I'm meeting with a president under siege,
and I need someone who understands his country
- as well as he does. - Better...
than he does.
So... born and raised there?
Born, not raised.
Nigeria, extreme poverty, small village
constantly raided by soldiers,
watched my father killed in front of me,
grew up wanting to fight...
until Mormon missionaries.
They came, restored our village, raised enough money
for me to get out of Nigeria and go to school.
At the fundraiser, you said
the situation there was convoluted
in the eyes of politicians.
- Pretend I'm one of them. - There are three major players.
The recently assassinated President Udoh,
Ekon Ameh, the warlord whose men probably pulled the trigger,
and replacement president, Okoli.
He's, um, a practical politician
who thinks he has to carry on Udoh's cause
to reclaim Nigeria's resources for its people at any cost.
Which is commendable.
[Ade] President Okoli's refusal to compromise
in order to uphold old ideals...
It's denying Nigeria's evolution.
Nigeria isn't just a country, it's an opportunity.
It's a strategic hub in a world whose global powers...
they're equalizing.
We both know that you're not just here for the optics.
You're here to bring stability at a price,
and Okoli knows this.

Hey, buddy.
- What the fuck? - [Mike laughs]
Say "welcome."
- Figured we could use the help. - Any word from Chavez?
I've searched his hotel, his car, airport.
- Nothing. - It's all right. We'll find him.
Oh, yeah?
I've known guys like this my whole career.
If he doesn't want to be found, you'll never find him.
Yeah, unless you already know where he's going.
Oh, where is he going?
To find Chao Fah.
His asset?
Yup.
Oh, so you think this shit is connected?
What I think is, with Miller gone, Chao Fah is all we've got.
And without his intel on convergence, we've got nothing.
Miller being murdered proves
that this corruption goes way higher
than just the director of the CIA, so we find Chao Fah,
we find who's behind all this.
Jack, just because you know where Chavez is going
doesn't mean you know where he is.
Yeah, we do.
Even Chavez knows the only way to get back in the game is
to start at the beginning.

A storm I desperately hope I can steer us out of, but right now,
