Blake played footage of the alien he was searching for, murdering countless numbers of CIA agents for Takal. Takal smiled at the sight of his fellow alien killing humans so mercilessly. Blake asked, "Do you know who that is?"
Takal said, "I can't tell from the footage. But I must ask... where was this video taken?"
Blake said, "Argentina."
Takal nodded and said, "I know of a ship that went to that location. There were only a few aliens that could fight like that. One, very exceptional."
Blake asked, "Who?"
Takal said, "Her name is Soa. I trained with her. Like I said, she's exceptionally good. I can see why you need my help."
Blake asked, "Great, so now that you know that... how do we find her?"
Takal said, "If I know her, she'll be taking refuge in the destroyed ship."
Blake said, "We've been in there. Found nothing."
Takal said, "There are some areas of the ship that can only be accessed by aliens."
Blake understood what this meant and began preparing a team to head off to Argentina. Before Blake exited the room, Takal stopped him and said, "May I ask a favor?"
Blake sighed and asked, "What is it?"
Takal said, "I don't want to be noticed by this alien. Say you allow me to go free... I won't be safe if I'm noticed by other aliens."
Blake said, "And?"
Takal said, "Allow me to go to a space craft. There, I'll be able to wear a human disguise."
Blake asked, "You know of a place?"
Takal nodded and said, "The place I was arrested at, of course."
Blake said, "Fine, we'll take you to the location. But the disguise has to be original. Nothing that already exists. We don't need you trying to blend in and escape."
Takal smiled malevolently at Blake, causing him to be ever more worried about Takal and the mission ahead.

With an original human disguise, Takal and the agents took off for Argentina in a private jet for the CIA.
After arriving in a destroyed city in the country, they quickly began preparing themselves for the mission. The mission was to follow Takal into the space ship and allow him to find the possible hidden location of Soa. If they're able to find her and she's not easy to capture, Takal would be the only one strong enough to take her on. But if Takal were to fail, the agents would riddle her with bullets. Either way, the plan is to kill the alien or save her for a death penalty later down the road.

They arrived at the abandoned green alien space ship. The door had fallen off upon crashing to the ground, so entering wasn't hard at all. The agents turned on their flashlights as they roamed the ship. Takal led the way, hoping to actually find Soa in the ship.
Takal had peeked into every unreachable location to humans and found no sign of alien life.
The agents began to notice that Takal was looking desperate. Blake could sense that maybe this was all a big mistake. Takal said, "She has to be here!"
Blake stopped the agents from moving any further. Takal yelled, "Where are you?!"
He turned to Blake and said, "This isn't over!"
Blake said, "She's not here. Maybe she moved to a new location."
Takal asked, "Why? Why move?"
Blake said, "Any smart person wouldn't remain in the same location for a long period of time. Especially if they're being hunted."
Takal even realized that fact himself. He looked all around the ship, hoping to find something out of the ordinary. But the ship was the way he thought it was. Blake said, "Come on, let's head back."
The agents and Blake began leaving the ship. Takal eventually followed behind them.
Blake knew that this wasn't going to look good to the director. She was already against this plan of using Takal. Now she was definitely going to shut down this project.
Blake and the agents were now outside of the ship. Takal wasn't far behind them when he suddenly heard someone whisper his name. Takal stopped in his tracks and turned to see who could possibly be calling his name. It was too dark to see anyone. But the voice was definitely female.
Blake turned to Takal and called out to him. Just as Takal was about to turn to the agents and alert them of what happened, the emergency doors slammed down. The agents and Blake were unable to reach Takal and Takal was unable to reach the agents. Blake ran at the door in anger. He turned to the agents and yelled, "Shoot it down!"
The agents quickly began to open fire on the hard metal door. Takal stood staring at the door, keeping him from the agents. A part of him felt relieved, but the other part was worried about what he was about to face.
Energy ran through the ship as lights began to shine in the halls. Takal's eyes were adjusting to the light and as they were, he could see someone standing a few feet from him. Takal looked harder and eventually met eyes with Soa. Soa smiled at him and said, "You and I got a lot to talk about."
