The Terminal List: Dark Wolf (2025) s01e01 Episode Script
Inherent Resolve
1
[Ben] What are we fighting for
when we step on that battlefield?
[somber music playing]
You ask an admiral or a general,
and you'll hear words
like freedom, honor and glory.
And, yeah, there is some of that.
But when you ask an operator,
a SEAL,
you'll hear something different.
We fight for each other.
And when you're a part
of that brotherhood,
every battle is
about bringing your brothers home.
Which is why it's so hard
to see them buried.
And the only thing that's worse
is when you give up that brotherhood.
That's a weight you can't even imagine.
♪
And a story that's so hard to tell.
This.
This is my story.
[reporter 1] The United States,
this morning, is promising
to help Iraq fight off
a new al-Qaeda offensive.
Militants took over one important city,
and there is intense fighting in another.
[reporter 2] The militants fighting
in Iraq are members
of the al-Qaeda-linked
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria,
or ISIS, which has flourished
in the power vacuum
left by Syria's civil war.
[line ringing]
[Ben] Reecer, what's the word?
[Reece] Yeah, all good on this end.
How about you?
Is that prisoner exchange still happening,
or did you manage to get
that op shitcanned?
[Ben] Nope. I tried.
It's a gnarly one, man.
It makes zero sense.
[Reece] I hear you, brother.
Our orders come from the top.
We don't always love 'em,
but we execute.
[Ben] Yeah, Daran knows
some of the families,
so, needless to say,
this one hits close to home.
[Reece] Just remember, we're training them
to stand up so that we can stand down.
And they are fighting for their country,
so do what you can to motivate them.
Most importantly, keep your men safe.
Keep crushing, brother. I'll see you soon.
[Ben] See you soon, brother.
[dramatic music playing]
[Daran speaking Arabic]
Taking back control of your country
that is freedom in its purest form.
And once you taste it, you'll give
everything you have to protect it.
Daran, they getting all this, or what?
[Daran] Yes, Chief. I made sure of it.
Good.
This is a story
about why we're here today.
[Daran translating to Arabic]
[Ben] Evil has reached new heights.
[translating to Arabic]
Two mikes out, Chief.
[Ben] Copy that.
[Daran translating to Arabic]
And I promise,
if you make the choice to conquer
-your fear…
-[translating to Arabic]
you and your city
will know freedom, too.
[Daran translating to Arabic]
Daran.
Let's fucking go.

Let's get moving.
Off-load the detainee.
30 mikes till exchange.
The old "conquer your fears" story, eh?
[Ben] Oh, yeah. Inspiration 101, L.T.
Tell 'em what they need to hear.
[Boozer] They need more than stories
on this one, Chief.
Come on, man, we ain't in the business
of doing fucking prisoner exchanges.
And we said no to this bridge
at least five fucking times.
Yeah, well, it's not our op, Boozer.
We're here to advise and assist.
New war, new rules.
And he's about to "advise and assist"
with that MK11.
Aren't you, Boozer?
That's right, Chief.
Have fun, my friend.
Enjoy, brother.
Got your back.
[Mo] As-salaam alaikum, Chief.
Wa alaikum salaam, Major.
Colonel.
-Chief.
-Hastings.
[Raife] How was the drive in, Mo?
We clocked four, five ISIS spotters.
Good call to bring Al-Jabouri by boat.
Easy day.
Now we just need ISIS
to hold up their end of the bargain.
Okay. Let's move.
Let's do it.
[tense music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
Take care of yourself, brother.
[speaks Arabic] You, too.
Here we go, brother.
Daran, maintain eyes
until all hostages are off the bridge.
[Daran translates to Arabic]
Fletch.
On it, Chief.
[women crying]
Charlie Zero-One, this is Zero-Six.
I count 18 hostages. I repeat,

[pilot] Charlie Zero-One,
this is Sentinel.
I spot one gun truck and one technical.

-[phone rings]
Daesh, you will abide by
the agreed to terms.
The exchange of our ISF family members
for ISIS leader Hamid Al-Jabouri.
You are a lucky man, Hamid.
If it was up to me
I wouldn't trade you for all of Mosul.
Neither would I.

They will kill us.
Don't cross. Stay here.
Stay here!
[Boozer] Chief, I got eight hostages
stopped mid-bridge.
L.T., I don't like this.
Move!
Don't go!
Who has eyes on Al-Jabouri?
[Boozer] Zero-One, this is Zero-Six.
Be advised.
Al-Jabouri's getting off the X.
Mo, why did that group stop?
I can't tell. I'm moving out.
Negative. No one goes.
Remaining hostages might be bait.
Or they're wired, man.
Keep your head on a swivel.

Go forward!

Sentinel One-One, do you have Al-Jabouri?
Or any ISIS movement on the bridge?

No tango movement on target. Over.

Uh, the tire, sayidi.
-No, that's a wounded teammate.
-[Mo translating into Arabic]
The most important part of this drill
is getting your teammate to cover.
ISIS wound ISF soldiers on purpose,
so if you're going to break cover
and get your brother to safety,
don't do it halfway.
We do nothing halfway.
Every time you fight the enemy,
every time you step on that battlefield,
you are not only fighting
for your country,
you are fighting for that man next to you.

Over the next two weeks, Lieutenant Reece
and Alpha Platoon will be
running turnover ops, gradually
taking over duties from me,
Chief Edwards, and Charlie Platoon.
So now you get twice as many of us,
but the same level
of tactical instruction.
The better level of tactical instruction.
You don't have to tell 'em that, Mo.
They'll figure it out.

-Yeah?
-Hanging in.
Well, I got some good news.
I reached out
to this former Delta buddy of mine
who helps relocate ISF
-to the States.
-No, Chief.
-Yes. Housing, jobs
-No, Chief. No, no.
-It's the least I can do.
-No, I mean,
I don't need it just yet.
I'm coming back to serve.
No.
-Yes.
-No.

I appreciate it. Thank you.

-I love Mickey Mouse.
-Me, too.
I want to help you find Al-Jabouri.
It's the least I can do.
Have patience, Chief.
Our work here isn't finished just yet.

Be good.
Thank you.

Don't be shy.

[Boozer] That's my girl.
I'm not telling you my girl's name.
[ukulele playing]
[Boozer] Everybody knows
that's a terrible idea.
It's cold as Kodiak tonight, eh?
[Ben] Fucking Kodiak.
I don't miss that place.
I remember when we were building
those, uh, survival shelters,
it was so cold, I pissed solid for a week.
-[laughs]
-I swear.
Chief, that is a venereal disease.
-I know.
-[laughs]
[Ben] I've accepted this.
When you gonna get a
real-sized guitar there, Boozer?
Do I or do I not look huge
with this thing in my hands?
-You do. You do, yes.
-I do, right?
-I mean, your hands do.
-Yeah.
[Reece] You look like Shrek,
holding that thing.
[Boozer] There's a reason
I hold it all the time.
[laughter]
Before I forget, I brought gifts.
Besides the Cubans?
No, those are from your dad.
And this
is from my dad.
It's his wrist compass from 'Nam.
Figured you could take it on some of
the hunts you do after deployment.
This is a piece of history, brother.
Yes, it is.
I can't accept this.
You can agree to hold on to it a while.
I know this has been a hard one.
You boys need to hear it that
what we're doing out here is appreciated.
People didn't say that enough
during our fathers' wars.
I'm proud of you.
Thank you, brother.
Appreciate it, sir.
And for Ben
Is this just cash?
[laughs]
[Ben] Look at this wrap job.
-Yeah.
-[Raife] Yeah.
-[Reece] I did that myself.
-[laughter]
I know this book.
This is the third time
you've given me this.
[Reece] That's right.
It's one of the most significant books
on military leadership ever written.
And I want you to fucking read it.
I will.
Thank you, Reecer.
And then, ooh, Boozer.
Let's go.
-I saved the best for last.
-Yeah, you did.

-Lucy caught her first fish.
-Wow.
Yeah. Little yellowtail. Look at that.
Ah, hell.

Are you

-[laughs]
I swear to God. We took that picture,
and she goes,
"You have to show Uncle Booboo."
-[Boozer laughs]
-I was like, "Ah, I'll get it to him."
-[Ben] Amy went with you?
-She did.
She caught a couple herself.
Didn't get seasick.
-That's a first.
-Yeah.
We'll make a sailor out of her yet.
She changed her hair.
She looks good.
Don't sweat it, brother.
She knew what she got into
marrying a SEAL.
Your wife will have you back
in a couple weeks.
You can make it up to her.
Thank you, Chief.
Well, since we're giving gifts,
we have one for you, too, Reecer.
-Ooh.
-This right here is an intel report
on Hamid Al-Jabouri, our good old buddy.
-The bridge attack?
-Yes.
He's in Syria, but eventually,
he's gonna circle back
to Mosul, and when he does,
you and Alpha can finish the job.
That fucker never should've walked.
[Ben] Exactly.
Ten years bleeding on this soil,
the only thing that grows is a new enemy.

[truck door opens]
[tense, suspenseful music playing]
Who's this?
[Fuller] House-borne IEDs.
Vehicular-borne IEDs.
Drone-delivered IEDs.
The only thing worse
than seeing ISIS's latest and greatest
is knowing they're selling ads
and financing terrorism
off Allied forces getting smoked.
Why the sudden increase of IEDs
in the ISIS playbook?
'Cause Mosul has a new player
on the board,
Massoud Danawi.
A notorious and notoriously private
weapons facilitator out of Lebanon.
This is our only known photo.
But Sunni, Shia,
Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed
Badr Organization.
Danawi doesn't give two shits
what you believe in.
You got the gold, he comes running.
[Cox] Officer Fuller and I just got back
from meeting with his contacts in Mosul.
Agency intel has Danawi
here in town, today.
ISF's gonna run close
target reconnaissance to confirm
his local contacts
and build out a pattern of life.
From there, the Agency will trace
how far his supply routes go.
ISF will use this beast here, equipped
with hidden cameras, to run recon.
SEALs provide support with QRF capability.
Any questions?
Yes, sir.
I see it's an automatic.
Is that because you know
that Boozer can't drive stick?
-[laughter]
-Uh, your mom drove my stick
last night, Reece.
-My mom's in Mosul?
-[laughs] Yeah.
[Landry] Okay, okay,
lock it up. Hey, hey, lock it up.
The man said "support."
Unlike the enemy
five years ago, ISIS is smarter,
able to recognize and target
nonindigenous drivers.
[Fuller] Thank you, Landry.

-[Reece] Fuck yeah.
-Good job, Mo.
-Yeah. All right.
You keep that.
Lieutenant Hastings, Chief Edwards.
Commander needs to see you.
Copy that.
-Go time.
-Let's go.
[knock at door]
Enter.
[door opens]
-[Ben] Sir.
-[Raife] Sir.
Why is Charlie prepping
for an op, Lieutenant?
Sir, we understand there's intel
indicating
that Hamid Al-Jabouri is back in Mosul.
Is that what Major Farooq told you?
'Cause apparently him and ISF
are gassing up Humvees in the motor pool.
Once that intel clears on Jabouri,
we're more than happy
to make him accountable
for the base bombing, sir.
Mission's been denied.
-Sir, we have a location on Al-Jabouri.
-That is all.
[Ben clears throat]
Permission to speak freely, sir?
All due respect
what the fuck are we doing here?
You said yourself, in order
to clean up the mess we made,
we have to get our hands dirty, no?
In order to build trust with ISF,
we have to be out there hammering targets,
not hiding behind walls.
Now we have a chance
to take down a known terrorist
who blackmailed Sergeant Amiri--
Or Amiri played us, Edwards.
Sergeant Amiri reenlisted
to get his family out of this fuckhole.
Does that sound like jihadi to you?
Sir, Hamid Al-Jabouri is our target.
He has been since the prisoner exchange.
Agency has lead on all things Al-Jabouri.
Commander Cox knows this. Commander?
You spoke your mind, Chief.
That's it?
Okay.
[clears throat]
[scoffs softly]
You're dismissed.
[Raife] Time to go, Chief.
Hmm? Let's go.
Oh, you got to be fucking kidding me.
Chief.
Jabouri never even left Mosul. Did he?
All that fucking intel you gave us.
Bullshit.
The Agency is protecting Jabouri.
He's an asset. Isn't he?
What, does he give you a little fucking
intel, and you guys give him immunity?
-Is this, is this how this fucking works?
-That's enough, brother.
Brother?
You are a fucking lap dog.
[Fuller] We made it clear, we have assets
helping us track the Danawi supply lines
to see how far and wide
-these weapons are being circulated.
-Your assets killed Iraqi
-and Danish partners.
-[Fuller] That's what matters.
-You cannot touch a CIA asset.
-[Ben] Not to mention
women and fucking children!
Sir, we train these men
to stand up while we stand down,
while ISIS is strapping bombs
to their fucking legs!
-That's what matters!
-Chief, let's go.
This fucking waste of oxygen
you're letting walk.
Fuck you! And fuck you!
-[Raife] Ben, that is enough.
-You go tell my men
what you just fucking told me.
You got the balls for that?
I'll fucking wait!
I need you to stop, now.
[slow, tense music playing]
Commander
let's fucking go, please.
Walk away.
[door opens, closes]
Where the fuck were you?
[Ben] It doesn't add up, Reecer.
[Reece] What's that?
The idea that Daran is jihadi.
I mean, why wait
for the last shift at chow?
Why sit in a corner?
Unless you're trying
to limit collateral damage.
Daran died for his family.
And they're gone, too.
Don't get me started
on Hastings, either, right now.
So far up Fuller's asshole,
it's unbelievable.
It's like some cherry L.T.
just hoping for a fucking raise.
I was protecting you, brother.
-If you go after Fuller, it will--
-Fuck Fuller.
Yes.
Fuck Fuller.
But it will make it ten times harder
for our commander,
or any of us,
to move on an Agency asset in theater.
[Reece] He's right.
You're both right.
Al-Jabouri is our target.
But if he's giving
choice intel to Langley,
we can't fucking hit him, can we?
[Raife] I've been talking with Mo.
ISF have intel that ISIS weapons
are being stored in the neighborhoods
on the outskirts of Mosul.
[Reece] Mm-hmm.
It's next up on the operations log.
It's in retaliation for the bombing.
That's our way back inside, boys.
We roll in with ISF,
then split off to Al-Jabouri's compound.
If we can expose him as an asset
ISIS will kill him for us.
Burn him?
Burn him.
We'll fucking burn him.
