== Plot ==

== Plot ==

James Reese appears to be an efficient and affable personal aide to the U.S. ambassador in France and after a brief morning chat, Reese quickly leaves, slips into the building's dark parking garage to switch license plates on his vehicle before successfully surveilling men speeding away. While Reese is a CIA operative with an [[Cover_(intelligence_gathering)|Official Cover]], he longs for more work in the field and phones his supervisor to ask for a promotion. His boss gives him another assignment -- delivering a top secret chip to the ambassador's office. Reese discovers the chip was placed in his jacket pocket and hides it as his girlfriend knocks on the door. He is eventually partnered with [[Cover_(intelligence_gathering)|NOC]] field agent Charlie Wax. Reese discovers that Wax was detained by [[Directorate-General of Customs and Indirect Taxes|French Customs]], because he refused to surrender cans of his favorite [[energy drink]]. Despite the apparent triviality of the situation, Wax continues to verbally abuse French Customs until Reese uses his diplomatic authority to allow Wax's luggage through customs.

Once in the car, Wax apologizes for his behavior and reveals that the cans actually held pieces of his personal sidearm. Wax then explains that he has been sent to Paris to investigate a Triad drug ring, indirectly responsible for the death of the niece of the [[United States Secretary of Defense|Secretary of Defense]]. During the investigation, Wax raids a Triad-run restaurant and warehouse, where he reveals that his true objective is to trace money back to a group of Pakistani terrorists. Evidence leads them to the terrorist hideout in a rundown apartment, resulting in an armed confrontation wherein most of the terrorists are killed. There, Wax and Reese learn that the terrorists plan to infiltrate the U.S. embassy with explosives hidden beneath their [[Burqa|burkas]]. As they collect evidence, they find photographs of Reese pinned to a wall.
