Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan Season 2, Episode 3, “Orinoco”, slows the momentum down slightly to give more context to the story and provides more development for the characters.
After two hectic opening episodes, “Orinoco” slows it down a little to add layers to the story. It begins in Tampa, Florida, and Marcus (Jovan Adepo) has accepted Matice’s deal — they will be heading to Venezuela on a special task force team. As Marcus is the boat driver, the men nickname him “Uber”, which you can tell does not delight him.
The special task team head to the shipments in the middle of a jungle. Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan Season 2 continues down the path that Jack is unstable in his actions; he goes rogue without the team’s assistance, entering one of the shipments. He is caught, but the task team finally catches up and helo Jack. The man who attacked Jack is now their hostage — Jim and Matice rip one of his fingers off so they can analyze his DNA. here

Yes, he’s still older and more experienced than Ryan, but he’s also still in the field. With his medical condition and the rigorous torture that Reyes’s man Bastos has subjected him to this season, though, Greer recognizes his limits. It’s time for him to leave the field entirely and, if not retire, at least apply his skills and knowledge to the CIA’s more administrative aspects.
“I used to sit across the table from an asset, and I swear to god I could hear their heartbeat. I knew when they were gonna sweat five minutes before they did. That’s how it has to be in the field. That’s what it takes to be great,” he says. “No. I can’t. Not anymore. It’s been a helluva run but it’s over. Time to move on.”
Though the biggest and most wide-ranging cost for Jack Ryan arrives in one of the finale’s penultimate scenes when Greer and his former underling sit down for some “chow” aboard a U.S. Navy destroyer. “You’re not hungry?” Ryan asks when he sits down at Greer’s table. “I had enough chow on boats like this to last a lifetime,” he responds. And when Ryan casually mentions he actually “kind of missed it,” Greer takes his cue and establishes the narrative bedrock for whatever story season 3 (and other potential seasons) will decide to tell.

In the majority of Clancy’s Jack Ryan books, not to mention the property’s disparate film adaptations over the years, the character’s origins as a young CIA analyst turned field operative were always accompanied by a much older, desk-ridden version of Greer. With Jack Ryan’s first season, though, this interpretation by The Wire’s Pierce started a little earlier.
Matice was also tasked with tying up loose ends, which he accomplished in Morocco where he tracked down and assassinated Ibrahim, Suleiman's most trusted lieutenant. here
While tracking Uber down, the team encountered guerrillas lead by Mateo Bastos, who is directing his team from a rock outcropping above where Matice's team is maneuvering using the same Flash Lidar system Reyes' people used to mine tantalum in the jungle. Uber managed to sneak up behind Mateo and disable him, buying the team some time to continue evading the guerrillas. However, as they continued to exfil the jungle, Matice dropped further behind to engage the guerrillas, and was shot in the leg while falling back. The guerrillas quickly closed in on him, and while he killed many of them in the process, he ultimately ran out of ammunition and was cornered by the remainder of the group. Rather than surrendering, he offered an insult and the guerrillas shot him to death with multiple gunshot wounds to the torso.
While Matice, Coyote and Disco are in the jungle with Ryan and Greer, Matice orders Uber to guard the boat and prep for rapid egress. When mercenaries begin sweeping the area near the shore where the boat is parked, Uber leaves the boat and evades them by sneaking into the jungle. When the team returns, they're forced to take the boat and leave Uber behind, vowing to return for him. After dropping Ryan and Greer downriver so they can analyze the intel they gathered from the site, the team returned to find Uber.

He was involved in the ongoing field operations while T-FAD continued to investigate Suleiman's terrorist network in Europe and the Middle East. He also led the strike team that raided Suleiman's compound in Syria, recovering Daniel Nadler and other doctors who had been taken hostage by al-Radwan and his followers, and executing the former ISIS colonel before the team's ex-fil.
Tom Clancy would have made the whole production better.
MY EXACT WORDS WHEN I SAW THAT SCENE. [links]
Why not use an actual SEAL. They acted like it was some amazing skill to plug a hole in a fibreglass boat.
The Others pretty much said the same, when they find him they are going to shoot him in the hand.
That and the fact that a 14 year old kid out ran him.
MY SECOND COMMENT ONCE THE EPISODE ENDED.
