Towards the end of A Time for Bravery, we realize that Solares had planned to sell the nuclear bombs to the highest bidder on the black market. He had taken control of the nuclear waste as it had a large amount of uranium, which he could use to make nuclear bombs.

But he realizes that they will need a special container to collect the waste. The Mexican army is the only one to have these containers for radioactive metals. Two of his men (Casasola and Montero) are deputed to steal it. They successfully managed to bring it to the warehouse. Prada then kills them as they could leak the information.

Diaz and Silverstein are around, and it leads to Prada's plan being put on hold. Diaz is held captive by Solares inside the office and is questioned. He wants to know how much Diaz knows. The commissioner tries to intervene, but he is threatened by Solares.

Meanwhile, Silverstein realizes that Diaz is in danger. The two have become good friends over time. He drives towards the National Investigation Agency building to save Diaz. Several police officers also reached the location to stop the corrupt system and their plans.

All of them go to the Camarasa, where they manage to stop everyone from stealing uranium. The authorities arrest Solares, and his sinister plans are put to an end. Diaz is saved by his friend.

As A Time for Bravery reaches its end, a senior NIA officer is seen talking to Silverstein and Diaz. He offers them a job in his agency. Silverstein rejects the offer. This leads Diaz to question if he has been a spy all this time. Diaz is thinking this way because of all the dangers Silverstein faced to save him.

However, Silverstein clears the doubt and reveals that he is not a spy. But he wants to join the agency and become one. His words drop a potential hint for a possible follow-up. This ambiguity and open ending leave the door open for a sequel in the future.
