A limo pulls up inside the garage and Hernandez approaches, saying something to one of the guards who's exiting the car. Billy runs down an escalator as Castro's escorted by a group of security guys down a carpeted hallway. Navarro rubs his hands on his pants. No, not like that! His palms are all sweaty! He's about to kill Fidel Castro, dudes! He's a wee bit nervous! Navarro pulls out his gun and gets ready. Elsewhere in the building, Billy slams around a corner and tries a door. Locked. He hits the elevator. Back down in the parking garage, Castro's about to come around the corner where Navarro's waiting. Suddenly, Billy jumps out a door onto a platform. He sees Navarro and shouts, "Secret Service!"
Navarro, figuring this is his only chance, ignores Billy and jumps out and attempts to aim at Castro. Castro's people shove Castro out of the way. Billy heaves himself over the side of the platform in slow motion and tackles Navarro to the ground. Billy and Navarro struggle on the ground as dozens of security guys scramble around with their thumbs up their butts. Castro's safely tossed into his limo, and Billy clocks Navarro a couple of times with some solid right hooks. Navarro kicks Billy off of him and stands, aiming his gun directly at Billy's head. But instead of firing a bullet directly into Billy's head, Navarro pauses, looking sort of confused.
"Callan?" says Navarro. "Señor Callan?" Before Billy can respond, "No no no. You must mean my brother. Did ya know him? Wasn't he cool?" Navarro gets shot in the back. When he falls to the ground, Hernandez is standing behind him. Billy looks up, expecting to be shot as well, but Hernandez just offers him a hand up, says "gracias," and walks away. Um. Okay. I thought Hernandez was one of the bad guys but, you know, whatever. Billy inexplicably takes the gun from Navarro's hand and shoves it in his pants. No, not like that!
Days later, Rocky's back in his car, about to make "the drop." The National Spy Players are gathered in Cheese's office. "What's in the file now?" asks Billy. "Everything that ties Hernandez to the plot should be in Castro's hands by tonight," says Cheese. Jeanie wants to know if they can trust the guy picking up the file. "The President called Castro personally," says Cheese. "He's expecting this." "Navarro knew me," says Billy. "He knew me." "He knew your brother," says Patton portentously.
