Becketts insistence that they deviate from the mission plan and belief that Miller is unfit for command sparks friction. Early on, they encounter a group of Indians, who lead them past rebel guerrillas in return for a favor and a target of opportunity to eliminate El Cirujano The Surgeon, an exCIA torture expert who works with the rebels. Beckett agrees to do so. Not certain of Millers reliability and skeptical about his kill aboard the helicopter, Beckett expects Miller to make the kill to prove himself. When it comes time, Miller fails again by making a warning shot before missing a head shot at Cirujano. The ensuing firefight with the alarmed guerrillas results in the death of one of the Indians. Although the Indians do not directly blame Beckett or Miller, they withdraw further help.On their way to their target, Beckett and Miller realize they are being followed. They head to a village to contact their informant, a priest, only to find him already tortured and murdered. Beckett speculates out loud that it is the work of El Cirujano, calling into question Millers credibility. That night, Beckett marks their track to bait the followerthe sniper that killed Papichinto a trap and uses Miller as a bait to pull the sniper out of hiding.
