The Deputy Defence Minister of Russia
is visiting the front line in Ukraine.
And here's his secret itinerary.
Nice work.
And if this, uh...
Leo.
...winds up Valhalla brigade commander,
he could become one hell of an asset, down the line.
Traveling with the minister,
in charge of his security detail,
is one Colonel Oleg Dimushenko.
Coyote's being handed over to Dimushenko? Why him?
Volchok know him personally?
He's a former lieutenant of his, protégé,
promoted to colonel in the FSB.
And then intel director at the Russian Ministry of Defense.
And my guess is Volchok
wants a meeting with his defense minister.
The general has political ambitions.
Nice. Mind the gap.
Valhalla's a fortress while he's in charge.
He's paranoid about security.
That's why we've never gotten inside.
Paranoia is his superpower.
Well, there's only one place on this list
I know we can't use.
The clinic. Operation Felix, right?
You know nothing about that.
Which is why I've told Leo the clinic is the handover.
You did what?
We need any edge we can get.
This is hostile territory. If we've got units
on the ground, I want to use 'em.
Y-You have no idea what that operation even is.
How dare you fuck a mission that isn't even ours?

Tell them we've redeployed a high-priority JSOC covert op.
We can't. They'll lose their shit.

We'll make it their call.

Listen. Listen. I cut you a ton of slack, Martian,

about how to save your life, or just one?
You are a fucking cog, Martian!

Felix is a three-man op--
one Delta and two Ukrainian Special Forces.
That's a kill team, Henry.

The clinic is a trap.

and get out alive?

Coyote is being held
by a Russian mercenary group called Valhalla,
commanded by General Volchok.
He's going to be handed over to FSB Colonel Oleg Dimushenko.
Dimushenko is currently in Ukraine,
escorting the Russian Deputy Defence Minister
on a tour of the front.
We started by trying to identify
how the handoff to the Russian security services
would be taking place.
We flipped one of Volchok's closest aides,
and, through him, obtained the itinerary
for the Comrade Minister's visit.
On that list was a medical clinic.
A photo op was planned there.
Ukrainian Special Forces had
a kill mission in place called Felix.
♪
We've redeployed those personnel in order
to position a rescue team.
The idea, now, is to put enough pressure on our man
inside Valhalla's base
so he directs Volchok into a kill zone.
If successful,
mercenaries holding Coyote will arrive at Felix noon tomorrow.
We spring the trap, get our boy.
That's it.
