What makes you think Alejandro is done done and will return back to be an abogado again?
He was a lawyer in Mexico that completely changed his profession once his wife and daughter were brutally murdered. Maybe he stays on to help, but it is not inconceivable that he disappears after this (I understand there is a sequel).

Also, the US gave him the opportunity for that revenge. You think that his obligations and repayment ended there?
Even if he had obligations, it is strange that the foreign asset that the CIA brought in is the one that is getting a legal document signed. Again, it makes a lot more sense for this to be the concern of the CIA agent.

The CIA and Delta dont need some cheesedick FBI agent on an operational mission like that.
She was there only to make what they did legitimate or lawful. Incorporating a "clean" sister agency is a nice way to clean all that up.
The end of the movie tells you all that, he will blow her head off if she doesnt sign the memo that says in her opinion (FBI) things were done properly.

You think it's an optimal strategy for the CIA to send a known CIA agent to kill a federal LEO as opposed to someone who they have complete plausible deniability over (who works for the Colombian cartel on paper)?

I'm saying I don't understand why Alejandro gives a shite. They clearly show that he has a certain fondness for Kate. She reminds him of his daughter. Why would he care if the US government thinks the operation was legit enough to murder her? He already got what he wanted. I could see him murdering her just to get the chance for his revenge, but that carrot was already eaten.
Also, if the overall goal was to kill her, they could have done it way easier in Nogales. Alejandro was not sent there to kill Kate. He was sent there to get the signature. I get that he threatened to kill her and make it look like a suicide, but he would've just done that if that was the primary goal.

Yea, maybe so. I never really thought about that. I guess so Matt could maintain plausible deniability, and Alejandro is probably on the CIA payroll as well?

They needed a member of the FBI involved because the CIA cannot operate independently on U.S. soil. That was her only purpose. She just decided to dig deeper and question things more than Graver and the CIA expected.

I guess Alejandro's potential concern would be that, if the illegal actions of Graver and the CIA did become known, he would be implicated in it. We also know because of Day of the Saldado that he planned to keep his relationship with Graver and the CIA alive, even if after he got his revenge.

This might be in the thread already. It's a short vid explaining why Kate is the villian in the movie.
