). Hector and Adrian are the ones who brought the Mother into the fold, back when she was the most skilled sniper in her military unit, and their operation will cease if the Mother successfully gives them up. And although they may not succeed in their first mission to off their defector, the two remain determined to exact their retaliation over the next 12 years.

Some perfect soundtrack choices work in that favor as well. I never knew I needed to see Jennifer Lopez teach her daughter how to shoot a sniper rifle, set to a Grimes song.
