While the team investigates the crime scene, an improvised explosive device in the backyard shed explodes, killing two officers. Afterwards, Kate's boss, Dave Jennings (Victor Garber), recommends her to Matt Graver (Josh Brolin), a CIA Special Activities Division undercover officer and Department of Defense adviser leading a team of Delta Force operators searching for the men responsible, including cartel boss Manuel Díaz. Kate volunteers to join the team. On the plane to El Paso, Texas, Kate meets Matt's partner, Alejandro Gillick (Benicio del Toro), and learns that they are going to Juárez, Mexico, where they will extradite one of Diaz' top men, Guillermo, and his brother. While crossing back into the United States over the Bridge of the Americas, Matt, Alejandro, and their team realize that cartel thugs are attempting to intercept them in a traffic jam, and the team kills the cartel men when they attempt to capture Guillermo. After interrogating and torturing Guillermo, Matt and Alejandro learn the location of Díaz's hideout. Alejandro, Matt, and Kate return to Arizona, where Reggie drives them to a Border Patrol station to question a group of Mexican migrants for information. Tired of being kept in the dark about the greater objectives of the mission, Reggie and Kate confront Alejandro and Matt for an explanation. Matt tells them that their goal is to cause such a disruption in Díaz's drug operations that he will be called back to Mexico to meet with his boss, drug lord Fausto Alarcón (Julio Cedillo). With the help of several migrants who know the border well, the team discovers the whereabouts of a tunnel that the cartel uses to get its drugs into the United States. The team follows Díaz's money launderers to a bank, where they deposit his money and are arrested. Díaz's accounts are then frozen. Kate, believing they can arrest Díaz with this information, gets records of the transactions, but Matt forbids her from going forward, telling her that they are working toward a greater goal than simply arresting Díaz. Frustrated with the way Matt and Alejandro work, Reggie and Kate visit a bar for drinks. Reggie introduces Kate to one of his buddies, a local cop named Ted (Jon Bernthal). After a night of drinking and dancing, Ted and Kate end up back at her apartment, where she discovers a rubber wristband in his possession—the same type used to bundle Díaz's laundered money. Sensing that she knows he is corrupt, Ted struggles to subdue her and nearly chokes her to death. Alerted by the noise, Alejandro stops him at gunpoint and beats him up. After Alejandro and Matt threaten the lives of Ted and his family, he reveals the names of other local corrupt cops working for Díaz. The next morning, Matt and his team prepare to follow Díaz, who has been called back to Alarcón. Kate protests that the FBI does not have jurisdiction in Mexico and learns that she and Reggie are no longer needed; the FBI agents were attached to the team purely to give the CIA the legal ability to operate within US borders. Reggie tells Kate they should leave the operation, as they were being used from the beginning, but Kate wishes to see things through to the end. Their raid on the tunnel serves as a distraction so that Alejandro can sneak through to the Mexican side. Once there, he kidnaps one of Díaz's mules, a corrupt Mexican police officer named Silvio (Maximiliano Hernández). Kate follows and attempts to arrest Alejandro, who shoots her in her bulletproof vest and tells her to return to the United States. Threatening Silvio at gunpoint, Alejandro forces him to pursue Díaz in his Mexican police car. Meanwhile, Kate demands answers from Matt, who explains that their goal is to restore power to the Colombian Medellín Cartel. Returning control of the drug trade to a single cartel will restore some semblance of order. Alejandro with Silvio driving catches up with Díaz's Mercedes, upon which Alejandro kills Silvio and wounds Díaz. Díaz then drives Alejandro to Alarcón's estate, where Alejandro kills Díaz and Alarcón's guards before finding Alarcón and his family. Alarcón, who murdered Alejandro's wife and daughter when Alejandro was a prosecutor in Juárez, mocks Alejandro, who shoots Alarcón's wife and two sons to death in front of him, then kills the drug lord. The next morning, Alejandro sneaks back into Kate's apartment and gives her a waiver to sign stating that everything they did together was "by the book". Kate relents when Alejandro puts a gun to her head. After he leaves, Kate goes to her balcony, points her gun at him and hesitates, and then watches him walk away. Sometime later at a football field in Mexico, Silvio's widow watches her son's soccer game, which is briefly interrupted by gunfire in the distance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sicario (2015 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
