SEAL Team (2017) s03e04 Episode Script
The Strength of the Wolf
1 - Previously on SEAL Team - Ensign Davis.
SONNY: I got us this really nice reservation at this restaurant up in Richmond.
That's a hundred miles away.
SONNY: Well, don't want anybody to spot us.
(PHONE CHIMING) Oh, we got a new target package coming in.
I got to go back.
I'm sorry.
Hey, don't be sorry.
I'm gonna try for warrant officer.
NAIMA: What about Jason? You'll be an officer? Won't you outrank him? How's he gonna take that? Jason'll be fine.
Gentlemen, it's my privilege to introduce you to DEVGRU's next commanding officer, Captain Greyson Lindell.
Bravo Team, Captain Harrington told me all about you.
JASON: Game, set Ripper Magoo, next round's on you, buddy boy.
It's getting expensive hanging with you like this, man.
- Is that four in a row? - JASON: That would be five in a row.
Hey, beer's a great motivator.
How about you, Sonny boy? Want to get the next beating? - What? - I got to tell you, man, it's a little sad watching you sit there moping and waiting for a call - that's never gonna come in.
- Oh, come on, now.
Look-it, man, couples text in the 21st century there, - old-timer.
- Yeah, or don't, in your case.
Come on, this whole girlfriend thing, is it a rumor, or what? Look, I did not get stood up.
Because she has work obligations, as do I.
Speaking of which, I actually have a bottle at home with my name on it.
- See ya.
- Hard to believe I drafted that dude.
Be careful, or he's gonna be walking around upright real soon.
Damn.
Whole team's evolving, man.
And Bravo's gonna look a lot different once Ray leaves to run his own team.
Whoa, whoa.
Pump the brakes there.
You lobbying for 2IC? Come on.
Be a long time before you wear that crown.
I'm just saying, who you gonna turn to in a bind once Ray's gone, Full Metal? - Sure, if I want to bury a body.
- Yeah, exactly.
I'm saying that Ray leaves a void.
And you think you're the one who can fill that void? Yeah.
Yeah? Okay, tell you what - (DART THUDS) - let's go hit Smoke's.
- Last call.
- Come on.
Dude, we've been shutting bars down every night this week I need some shuteye, man.
You got to go home at some point, boss.
Yeah, I know.
I'm just gonna settle up my tab.
That's it.
And I will, uh, be on your six.
Hey.
Whiskey.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Hey Baby Ah, please don't sing that tune - Yeah, hey - (SIGHS) (JET PASSING) JASON: Your teammate suffers a line-over chute malfunction that strands him in enemy territory on the other side of the mountain from your LZ.
Your orders are to Charlie Mike, which leaves him to fend for himself.
What's your call? Do we have ISR? Negative, Candidate Yoder.
- Comms? - RAY: With the tactical operations center, - but not your guy.
- Continue the mission.
That's what secondary and tertiary exfil points are for.
I'd expect my team to do the same if it was me out there.
Hold security.
Wait for a FRAGO.
Reach out to partner forces.
Wait for orders.
And hold for a new window on the target.
- Do I like the guy? - RAY: Excuse me, Lopez, but how warm and fuzzy you are for this guy is gonna impact your decision? It'll impact how much I bitch about having to lug it over a mountain to save his ass.
Without question, I'm going for my teammate.
Move heaven and earth for any Frogman.
Team is everything.
But I'll bitch more if the guy's a turd.
Solid crop of candidates we got this year.
- Yep.
- Clay operated with that Yoder kid.
Swears he's the real deal, and I tend to agree.
Mm-hmm.
(GROANS) Out running with the young bucks again last night? Hard to soar with the eagles when you hoot with the owls.
What are you, like, my mother or something? Seriously? That's what you told me when I first joined Bravo, Jason.
Well, that Ray needed to hear that.
Now, look, you're all grown up, about to make master chief.
- Isn't that sweet? - (CHUCKLES) Yeah, look, Jace, about that, I, um Jace, what's up, man? We hitting the range? (LAUGHS): Look at that.
Mr.
Spenser's he's trying to find ways of buying me beers.
Isn't that nice of him.
You in? No, man.
I'll catch up with you later.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay, so, uh, later on.
Get in there.
CLAY: How'd my boy Yoder and the rest of the Green Team candidates look? Like a bunch of eighth graders.
SONNY: That's the beauty of Green Teamers.
We get older and they stay the same.
JASON: Yep.
CLAY: But my boy Yoder, dude's a pipe hitter, right? Yeah.
You know what? Looks Bravo-worthy to me.
Let's just hope that, uh he's better than my last candidate.
(CHUCKLES) CLAY: Hey, topless bull riding tonight at Smoke's.
You in? I'm definitely coming to Smoke's.
You kidding? Gonna roll, rip, ready.
- (LAUGHTER) - The Wilt Chamberlain twins ride again.
That's right.
- (BARKS) - Hey! This is Dr.
Natalie Pierce.
She is a research physiologist at the NHRC's Department of Warfighter Performance.
The Navy can keep trying, but my head can't be shrunk.
She's a physiologist, not a psychologist, Sonny.
Please, just call me Natalie.
I'm here to conduct research to identify risk factors associated with operational longevity.
Bravo Team's your lab rats, right? I know how this kind of thing could be received downrange.
I just wanted to get us all on the same page.
Same page, that's all.
LINDELL: Master Chief Hayes, a word.
Warfighter longevity is one of my priorities.
Most valuable resource for future generations is the current one.
I would like you to give Natalie every opportunity to work with Bravo Team.
Appreciate that, sir, but Bravo Team has a way of doing things.
- We're just fine.
- NATALIE: Do you? Bravo Team has a lot of miles on it, and you have even more.
Lot a gas left in the tank.
I actually have that "new car" smell.
NATALIE (CHUCKLES): I'm here to help you manage that wear-and-tear.
Keep the tank from hitting empty, and the only way that I can do that is by seeing what's under the hood.
Wow.
Now, you know what, that is quite a sales pitch.
It's not a pitch.
It's my job.
And I'm good at it.
I'm sure you're better than good.
But we're fine.
It is my belief that nobody could benefit more from Natalie's expertise than you, Master Chief.
I just wanted you to break the ice.
Ice has been broken, sir.
Dr.
Pierce.
Natalie.
Warrant Officer Mack, you got a minute? Hmm.
That's awful formal sounding for a door-kicker, - Senior Chief Perry.
What's up, man? - (LAUGHS) - You all right? - I wanted to, uh Yeah, I'm good.
I just wanted to follow up about putting in a package.
Don't tell me you changed your mind - about going warrant officer? - Oh, not a chance.
My man.
- My man.
Have a seat.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
I was afraid your teammates talked you out of it.
- Frogmen freak when one of us goes warrant.
- Well, that's because no one actually knows what the hell a warrant officer does.
That's kind of true.
Got the fancy title.
Straddling the worlds between enlisted and officer ranks.
You wonder why our boys freak? Nah, that's the beauty of the gig, man it's, like, one day you're in your camis on a sniper rifle, the next day you're in a suit rubbing elbows with dignitaries, trying to facilitate a clandestine op.
You end up becoming, like, a an expert in all things Special Operations, you know what I mean? Offer Bravo a fresh perspective.
Well, it's a good thing Jason Hayes is always open - to new ideas, you know? - Right.
Right.
How'd he take the news? My team leader's head exploded when I told him.
Yeah.
I haven't exactly told him yet.
So, look, I'm just gonna say it.
I, uh, I'd appreciate it if you'd consider sponsoring my package.
Really? Look, a thinking man like you, you're gonna make a great warrant, okay? Put your service record together.
I'll convene a review board.
Make sure you, you know, walk the line for the next few months, okay? I don't want anything derailing your application.
I hear you.
Never thought I'd be jealous of paperwork.
But them hours you've been grinding with eggheads, you're startin' to change.
I'm sorry about last night.
Just awful inconsiderate.
The enemy isn't considerate of our social schedule.
- Well, I'll make it up to you.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah, I got us tickets to the Longbranch Rodeo.
- Ooh-wee.
Figured it'd be good to, uh, get out of these walls.
Rubbed meat and rope tying is the quickest way to this Texas boy's heart.
- Can't wait.
- Good.
Ensign Davis.
Petty Officer Quinn.
What was that about? Aw, you know, we were just talkin' and Oh, relax.
I-I told him that we're - we're just friends.
- What do you mean? He said something to you? (PHONE BEEPS) This is bad, Sonny.
My brother.
What's this about Lindell bringing in a physiologist? What was that about? Some new C.
O.
thinking they can reinvent the wheel, - that's what it's about.
- Yeah, till you show him the wheels are spinning just fine, right? You know, if it's not broke, don't fix it, right? Our motto is: Can't mess with success.
I agree.
Which is why I've decided not to go for master chief.
I'm staying with Bravo.
I'm sorry, what are you t what are you talking about? I put in for warrant officer.
Ray, you're about to make E-9.
You've been wanting to run your own team for years, and now you're putting in for warrant officer? I know.
I know, man, but I've just been thinking about it, I've been praying on it, talked to Naima about it, and it's just a lot of factors in play, Jace.
Big pay bump for my family.
I get to stick with my brothers.
Yeah, you get to stick with your brothers until they come around and they just snatch you up for some Special Activities assignment.
One foot in, one foot out.
That just affects the flow of the team.
Why the hell didn't you come to me about this first? 'Cause it's my choice, Jace.
It's my career.
Yeah, but it's my team.
My team.
(PHONE BEEPS) Unbelievable.
Warrant officer? This is Orion 9, a Malaysian trawler used by criminal and terror groups in Southeast Asia as a "hostage bank".
It holds high-value prisoners offshore until their ransoms are paid.
It's a floating prison.
And of the 14 hostages on board, three are American.
Martin Brice, Richard Harrison and Anna Loch.
- How long they been holding them? - Brice and Harrison were kidnapped three months ago; - Loch's been on the ship nearly six.
- RAY: Well, why not keep negotiating? What's pushing us to move now? Anna Loch has a kidney condition.
Proof-of-life videos indicate that she's in bad shape and won't live long without proper medical care.
Okay, so where are these pirates sailing? The Orion 9 is sailing somewhere in the territorial waters of the South China Sea.
At the moment, it's off grid.
And you don't know where it is? ERIC: Ensign Davis will find that boat soon enough.
And when she does, you're looking at a maritime interdiction, boys.
Anna Loch's life depends on it.
Maritime interdiction hostage rescue is no walk in the park.
Not like we haven't done it before, Ray.
- Never a roided-out fortress like this though.
- RAY: Exactly.
This one's far trickier.
This ship is outfitted with multiple defensive countermeasures.
Thai SEALs found that out the hard way.
They tried to interdict the Orion two weeks ago and failed.
Took on a number of casualties.
Before they went off the grid, pirates rigged the Orion with even more countermeasures: electrified perimeter fencing, a net of razor wire trailing the stern, and additional welding to nearly every hatch.
So, break into Fort Knox in the middle of the ocean.
What could go wrong? Yeah.
Thought you'd never ask.
Before the ship went dark, - FLIR showed sentries posted on deck.
- Yeah.
Which makes a helo insert too risky.
Thought risky was your thing, Sonny.
RHIBs should be quiet enough for a DUCK infil.
Pirates have blind spots here, so I think this is our hook point.
Yeah, but all that extra welding is gonna cost us more breach time.
And if we're made, them pirates will start popping off the hostages, and this whole op goes south.
We got another wrinkle.
When we were tracking the Orion, it typically skirted Chinese territorial waters.
Once on board, you got about ten minutes to complete the mission.
RAY: Yeah, and the minute they know we're on board, they're gonna head that way, knowing we won't risk war - by hanging around.
- CLAY: So, not only do we have to secure the hostages but we also have to take control of the boat and keep it out of China? We'll break up into three fireteams.
One to the hostages, one to the bridge, one to take out the aft steering.
You sure you want to go after the hostages that light on shooters? I'm-I'm thinking we secure the hostages while we hit the bridge, then head to the aft steering.
Every ship takedown that we have done, we've secured the bridge and the aft steering to control the vessel.
That's what we're gonna do.
We got time before we find the ship, so let's train before we spin up.
Got it? ERIC: All right, I'll scrounge the Green Team guys to help out.
Hi.
Hey.
I didn't see you in here.
I'm, uh, prepping for a protection op in Yemen.
- Ah.
- How you doing? I am feeling like a woman that's tasked with finding a ship in over a million square miles of open water.
- You'll find 'em.
- I don't know about that.
The Thai SEALs attempted a rescue and spooked these guys.
Caused them to change their pattern of behavior? That's what I'm bumping up against.
They changed their pattern five days after the Thai op.
So, why? Because maybe the assault isn't what caused them to break their pattern of behavior? What else would? Money.
That's-that's the only reason.
I Anna Loch's an American hostage.
She's sick.
She represents their biggest potential payday.
They'd want to keep her alive.
So, uh they get medical help, someplace they feel safe? Petty Officer Baker, find me all the harbors that the Orion's made port in in the last six months.
Will do, ma'am.
How 'bout a break, boss? How 'bout no? We ran it four times, we failed four times.
It might be worth rethinking our approach, Jason.
Run it again.
Move.
Move, move, move, move.
Ready, positions, set, go.
Take us out.
Move.
(GRUNTS) Come on.
Let's go! Sonny! - Come on, man.
- Move! Come on.
We're in! Go.
Break off.
Bravo 6, what's your status? (GUNSHOTS) Fall back! Fall back! Bravo 6, what's your status? (GUNSHOTS) We're trying to clear our way to the bridge.
Over.
Steering? All clear! Go.
Move, move, move.
Bravo 3, - stable aft steering? - (GUNFIRE) Negative, Bravo 1! I got held up at the breach point! JASON: You're moving too slow, Sonny.
Hurry it up, Texas.
(GROANS) Ah! God! Just a flesh wound.
(GUNFIRE) ERIC: You're out of time.
You're now entering Chinese waters.
Bravo 1, this is 6.
Bridge is secure.
Bravo 3, what's your status? 1, this is 4.
We're working a breach outside aft steering.
Damn it! Yeah, and almost killed twice, 'cause I'm on one wheel, dragging an axle.
JASON: Come on, let's go.
Move.
Ah, God! Open! Open! Open! (ALARM BUZZING) End ex.
End ex.
Yeah, well, that sucked.
ERIC: Congratulations, boys.
The hostages are dead, and those of you lucky enough to have survived will spend the rest of your lives - in some Chinese prison.
- Right.
Complete mission failure.
Complete mission failure.
What is the problem? - JASON: A lot of problems.
- Same plan, same result.
Well, fix it.
Resetting.
I still say we need to split into two teams instead of three.
CLAY: The plan's fine.
Problem is we're not moving together as a unit.
Agree.
Team mindset's off.
Completely whacked.
Well, the hook point needs fixing.
Too much exposure on the deck.
We'd have less exposure on this deck if you hit the first hatch a lot faster, Sonny.
You know that.
- First hatch, less than a minute.
- Finishing in a minute - shouldn't be a problem for Sonny.
- That's real hilarious there, - Blond Rickles.
- G-G-Guys, it's-it's training, all right? - Let's stop fighting.
Let's-let's learn.
- Damn right we're training.
- We're sitting here talking about practice.
- JASON: Yeah, practice.
Practice.
I mean, come on.
Since when do we give a lick about practice? Since a bunch of Green Teamers just handed us our lunch.
That's when we care, Sonny.
Okay, well, this game is rigged 'cause those newbies know - when and where we're coming.
- Get your head in the game, Sonny.
Think.
You're more concerned about some broad standing you up on the phone, doesn't call you back.
What the hell did you just say? - J.
- What part of that did you not understand? You're more concerned about your phone not ringing! J! Look, man, maybe we call it a night.
A-And we come back tomorrow after we cool off, okay? No, we're not gonna call it a night.
We're gonna run it again.
And then we're gonna go run it again until we get it right.
Nobody leaves the base.
Lockdown.
Getting it right.
Run it again! (GROANS) (GRUNTS) - Painkillers, huh? - (GROANS) Ooh.
- Must've been a hell of a day.
- (SIGHS) Still early.
The day is not over.
Trust me, I can still get it up.
You certainly know your way around a cold pack.
I'm guessing that's from the four arthroscopic knee surgeries, the torn rotator cuff, the dozen bone fractures.
Right.
Did you read all about that in my jacket? Let me guess, they had a, uh, centerfold of me - that you could pull out, look at, too, huh? - (CHUCKLES) Sadly, no.
But it did paint a picture.
Well, keep that picture in your brain, 'cause, uh, that's the only way you're gonna see me.
Sure about that? You're in the top one percent when it comes to operator age.
I'm the top one percent when it comes to anything operator-related.
- Called rarefied air.
- (CHUCKLES) Even air gets old.
That's where I come in.
You know, I'll tell you what, I'll pass.
I understand the body.
I understand how I work.
I don't need anyone to tell me differently.
- 'Course.
- Okay? No one is gonna tell me the odds.
Worked with a ton of team guys.
You all look at me the same at first.
Really? And how is that? - Oh, like I'm a narc, - (CHUCKLES) sent in to find out just how damaged you are so that Command can ship you off to the scrap heap.
You know, you have a very Serpico vibe to you.
Mm.
Yeah.
You don't know me and you do not trust me.
But another perspective is often the missing ingredient in maximizing longevity.
Right.
Well, tell you what.
It's a shame that there's nothing missing, 'cause I really wanted to see you again.
I'm fine.
Yeah.
That's why you're wearing, uh, two beer cans there and popping tramadol like they're M&M'S? - (SIGHS) - Look, there's one thing I know about operators: as much as you say you're all about team, you think you can take on the world all by yourselves.
I'll be here when you realize you can't.
(SIGHS) Davis.
Hey.
Listen, just wanted to clear the air.
Not at work, Sonny.
Okay, well, where else are we gonna do it? (SIGHS) Does Ray know about us? - No.
- Then why did you need to explain to him that we're just friends? He saw us in Serbia, and he asked.
And you didn't tell me? Is this why you wanted to go to Richmond last month? You know, I almost missed a briefing because of that.
What-what do you mean? Lisa, people go to Richmond.
They-they go to dinner, - and people miss things, okay? - Sonny, we are walking in a minefield, and the least that you can do is tell me where the mines are.
This relationship is hard enough, but it's gonna be impossible if I can't trust you.
You're telling me you can't trust me? You're in your head, Lisa, and you need to relax.
Don't tell me what to do.
- (CHUCKLES) What is your problem? - You're not listening.
- That is my problem.
- Wow.
- I can't do this right now.
- Yeah.
- We've got 14 people that are depending on us.
- We do.
- Okay.
- Roger that.
Fall back! Fall back! We're pinned down! Damn it! - (GUNFIRE CONTINUES) - Too slow! Move! (GUNSHOTS) (ALARM BUZZING) Move! Back to one.
Do it again.
Run it again! 12 hours straight.
I feel like a rented mule.
Still not good enough.
We're still outgunned once we make entry.
Still taking too long to open the first hatch.
SONNY: I've been staring at a 10,000-degree lightsaber on repeat.
I'm going blind.
What about a carbide blade? - Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Carbide blade cuts faster - than a diamond cuts.
Can shave off 15, 20 - What'd you just say? What'd you say? Maybe I'll use it to cut that loose tongue out of your mouth, newbie.
- You better watch yourself, Yoder.
- Come on.
Come on.
Ease up, Texas.
Carbide blade wears out faster, anyway.
Two hatches down, Sonny'll be changing blades while the bad guy starts popping hostages.
Well, Yoder's just trying to execute Jason's plan, okay? Maybe we wouldn't be in this jam if y'all were doing the same thing.
You know what, tell me what the team needs once you've been here as long as I have, how about that? Well, I hear that's not possible, Ray, 'cause I hear - you're never leaving.
- JASON: All right, knock it off.
Knock it off.
Running us into the ground isn't proving anything, Jason.
It proves to me that priorities are out of whack.
- That's what it proves to me.
- SONNY: Our priorities? Yeah, priorities, Sonny.
SONNY: What the hell, man? We were locked in here playing paintball because you got nowhere else to go - but the bar.
- Hour break.
- SONNY: Yeah.
- Eat some Twinkies.
- That's the truth and you know it.
- All right - Back at it.
- Yeah, grab another drink.
(EXHALES) Stop.
Ready? Yeah.
(BOTH GRUNT) You didn't have to do that.
Yeah, well, I figure if I'm nice, maybe you'll stop shooting us in the ass.
(LAUGHS) You know, you guys don't stand a chance.
I mean, we know when you're coming.
I know your hook point.
We may be Green Team, but we're still serious door-kickers.
Read in your file you're from Newark.
- That's a rough city, man.
- You could say that.
I know that look.
Come on, talk on it.
Neighborhood, I could handle.
My old man was a different story, though, depending which version of him walked through the door that night.
But you did eventually get away.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
When I was 14.
Lebanese restaurant.
Started washing dishes.
That's where you learned Arabic.
(SPEAKING ARABIC) Spent my whole life feeling out of place.
So I ran.
I ran from my family, from the restaurant.
I even ran from the regular Navy to BUD/S.
But when I made it to the teams, I stopped.
Think you'd fit in well with our team? You got a bunch of stone-cold hammers who aren't afraid to let the world know their opinions.
If being alpha is the prime ingredient for Bravo, well, then, Yoder's your man, not me.
But if you need a guy who can keep his mouth shut, his kit tight and wants to do the work? Well, then, I might be your guy.
Direct ISR to Ha Long Bay and track the coast moving north.
The Orion 9's probably hiding amongst the commercial boats - in the area.
- Roger that, ma'am.
Find the Orion, Ensign Davis? Not yet, sir.
Uh, but we did confirm that it made port in Cam Pha two days ago.
Vietnam.
Makes sense.
Remote.
Less likely to run into issues there.
I'm guessing they're sailing north for the protection of Chinese waters.
- That's great work, Ensign.
- Took too long to figure out.
Every minute counts.
Ensign.
Officers carry a heavy enough burden without kicking the snot out of themselves.
No offense, but you got to get over it.
You committed all your energy and focus into finding the Orion.
You did your job.
Done.
Bravo must be primed for battle with all the training you guys have been doing.
More like, uh coming apart at the seams.
Jason's got us locked down.
Guys are at each other's throats, but he can't see he's just making things worse.
Jason's digging in his heels? I can't believe it.
- (CHUCKLES) - Oh, he just seems hell-bent on proving he can do this op without me.
Without any of us.
And given all the challenges of this op, it seems like your perspective might help.
Unfortunately, "help" is a foreign word to Jason, Mandy.
I'll talk to you.
All right, let's go.
Break time's over, okay? Sonny, switch out the quickie saw with the Broco.
- Come on.
- Roger that.
Ensign Davis just located the Orion 9 sitting off the coast of Vietnam.
We're wheels up in an hour.
Wheels up in an hour.
SONNY: Oh, man, I would much rather crack this nut before jumping back in the fire.
- (GRUNTS) - It's a little late to start caring about training now, there, Sonny.
Ah, kiss my ass, platinum wonder.
RAY: You think the Pentagon cares that every run has ended in disaster? Know what, Pentagon trusts us to hit it on target.
They say go, we go.
(GRUNTS) Hey.
- JASON: Yeah.
- Can't sleep? Yeah, well, you know, jumping into a zero-margin op where the team's been off all week? Yeah, I can't sleep.
What do you think? So now you're trying to figure out the impossible - all by yourself? - I've done it before, Sonny.
I know you have.
But is that what got you through BUD/S alone? What about Green Team? The strength of the pack is the wolf, but the strength of the wolf is the pack.
- And the pack's out of sorts right now.
- Okay, well, maybe training balls to the wall's - got something to do with that.
- Got to run hard if you want to break through.
And breakthrough is worthless if the cost is breakdown.
You're here to question my leadership, just turn around, go to sleep.
Jace, I would follow you anywhere.
You know that.
But you got this way of bending the universe and forcing it into the way you think things are supposed to be.
You're not alone in this, Jason.
The Orion's steaming north about two miles from Chinese waters.
ISR picked up four sentries on deck.
Uh, that's a scenario we trained for.
Let's run it like we planned, boys.
Let's go.
All right, hold up.
Look, I know these past few days, I've pushed you really hard during the training.
And maybe that's because of all the changes that I'm going through back home in my life.
I just want you to know that I trust each and every one of you with my life.
And there's no other group of guys I'd rather jump into hell with.
So, let's get this done.
Come on.
- Together.
- Hooyah.
All right? - We got this, man.
- Come on.
Havoc, this is 1.
We're passing Yellowhammer.
Good copy, Bravo 1.
Passing Yellowhammer.
Be advised, I am seeing what appears to be one sentry headed towards the starboard side.
JASON: Good copy, Havoc.
JASON: Take us out.
DAVIS: Bravo 1, be advised.
You have an armed sentry headed toward the bridge of the vessel.
How copy? JASON: Good copy.
Sonny.
Breacher up.
Ray.
Ray, sentry's back.
Cover the starboard side.
ERIC: Bravo 1, this is Havoc.
Be advised, sentry is 15 meters after your pos.
Looks like he's stopped moving.
Ray, you got him? Nothing yet.
ERIC: Bravo 1, be advised.
Sentry is on the move again.
He's gonna be on top of you soon.
Get inside.
They're gonna know we're here fast.
Move! Hurry up! Pirates are awake.
(MEN SHOUTING) I'm in.
The target ship just changed course.
She's headed approximately 40 degrees due north.
How long till they make Chinese territory? Ten minutes.
- Our guys beat that time in training? - Not once.
Bravo 1, this is Havoc.
Be advised, the target vessel has changed its heading and is moving out for Chinese waters.
You have approximately ten minutes to gain control of that vessel before you are forced to abort.
How copy? Good copy, Havoc.
Hey, I got to call an audible.
Keep the aft team with us? Well, you should have said that earlier.
Sonny, Clay, Brock, on the bridge; rest on me.
We're going with Ray's plan two teams instead of three.
Havoc, this is 1.
I'm passing Camellia.
ERIC: 1, I copy Camellia, break.
We'll cover the topside for you.
Chinese waters are coming up awfully fast.
Sonny, how much you got left in that torch? Enough.
(GUNFIRE) That's a big gunfight up there, Jace.
- It's not our problem.
- (GUNFIRE CONTINUES) Bravo 6, what's your sitrep? SONNY: It's open! 1, this is 6, about to make entry.
Go.
(EXPLOSION) Trent, you're up.
Padlock.
Nice toss, Broccoli.
Bravo 6, bridge is secure.
Adjusting our heading.
Shutting her down.
(HOSTAGES SCREAMING) Please! Please! No! No! Please, no! (OVERLAPPING SHOUTING) (SCREAMING) ANNA: Oh, God! Oh, my God! Only 500 yards from Chinese waters.
SONNY: Ooh-ee! I told you all that training would pay off.
You talking about practice? I'm talking about practice.
(WHIMPERING) We're American military.
Here to take you home.
All right.
Come on.
We're here to take you home.
We got you.
It's okay.
You're safe now.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Havoc, this is 1.
Passing Racking Horse.
That's a good copy, 1.
Passing Racking Horse.
Nice job, gents.
Let's get you guys out of there.
Extract is inbound.
Sounds good to us.
Bravo out.
We're gonna take you home.
Okay? Over here.
Over here.
Easy.
Easy.
Easy.
JASON: Here you go.
Hell of a week, huh? RAY: (SCOFFS) I'll say.
- But we got it done, right? - Mm-hmm.
We got it done, man.
Listen, Ray, this whole, uh, warrant thing.
You know, you going for it I I get it, you know? Your family.
I should have supported you more, and I didn't, and I feel bad about that.
Look, brother, I-I should have talked to you about it.
I really should have.
I just I never thought how me staying would disrupt the team.
Yeah, team needs you.
Always known it, but these past few days just proved it even more and more.
Yeah.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm gonna fight like hell to keep Bravo "Bravo" for as long as possible.
Well, how long is that gonna be? I don't know.
- Hopefully, another few decades, right? - (GROANS) I don't know if I can last that long, Ray.
Look, man, you-you've passed Bravo down to all of us, - and it's on the young bucks to keep it going.
- Right.
I've got to make sure they get this Green Team pick right, huh? (SIGHS) So, this kid Yoder, you think he's, uh he's Bravo material? Guy checks all the boxes.
Okay, checks all the boxes, but you don't sound too convincing.
Look, brother, we already got a lot of Yoders.
I think what the team needs is a guy who's gonna complement his teammates, not compete with them.
And for me, that guy is Vic Lopez.
Vic? Yes.
J, we're not getting any younger, man.
This pick is about Bravo ten years from now.
And if Clay's running the show, who'd make a better 2IC: Vic or Yoder? Seems to me a ninja team leader with a more reserved number two works pretty damn well.
Just my two cents.
All right, boys, what is it Blackburn always says? - ALL: Listen up! - So listen up.
Let's all welcome the newest brother to Bravo Team.
SONNY: Drumroll! Vic Lopez.
- And here he is.
- (WHOOPING) Huh? Come on.
There it is, buddy boy.
Come on.
Get in there now.
Before you start, uh, buying us cases of beer And it will be cases.
Yeah.
Bravo has decided to buy you your first drink.
Aw.
SONNY: Here you go.
Okay.
Don't spill.
That's the good stuff.
Chug.
- Chug.
Take no breaks.
- (OVERLAPPING CHATTER) Keep your lips on the glass! Hey! - All the way.
- SONNY: What is that face you're making? - (COUGHING) - Go, go, go! - Don't stop.
- SONNY: Come on.
Are you gonna cry? - Don't cry.
Don't make him cry.
- Keep going.
Keep going.
'Cause it's good for you.
- ALL: Yeah! - SONNY: There you go! - RAY: Welcome to Bravo, brother.
- SONNY: He's sweating already.
(SONNY LAUGHS) Yeah.
JASON: Watch out for the can now.
The tin cans.
Hey, hey, hey.
Whoa, whoa.
Where you going? What? What happened to drafting Yoder? Changed my mind.
Ray change it for you? You know what? If you make it one day to team leader, you're gonna understand.
Until then, he's the guy.
Come on.
We're gonna hit the Bulkhead.
Coming? I'm buying.
No, I'm going to, uh I'm gonna go home.
(DOOR OPENS) (CRICKETS CHIRPING) (TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWING) (GRUNTS SOFTLY) I don't get it.
What's the matter? - We are, Sonny.
- (LAUGHS): Come on.
Hold on, now.
I mean, you know, the whole week was off.
Everybody was off, but so what? No, it isn't just this week, one week.
This is every day of every week.
This is our life now.
Ah, it ain't a bad life, is it? It is not a life.
It is a lie.
We're stealing conversations.
We're-we're hiding how we feel.
We're sneaking out of town.
We're trying to worry about if our friends find out, because if this gets out, our careers are done.
Uh, after all we've been through? Hmm, it's this it's this damn job.
It's not just a job, Sonny.
Lives are at stake.
Yeah, I'm aware of that.
(CLEARS THROAT) We have not been ourselves on the clock the past few days.
What happens when the stakes get real for us as a couple? The stakes are real for us, Lisa.
We just crushed that op.
And when the chips were down, every damn person stepped up.
Look at me.
We can get through this.
We can't be together, Sonny.
Are you saying it's over? Look, you are my best friend.
I thought we could handle this, but it can't work.
Not as long as both of us are at DEVGRU.
I'm sorry.
(ENGINE STARTS) ("AFTER THE FIRE IS GONE" BY LORETTA LYNN AND CONWAY TWITTY) Love is where you find it When you find no love at home And there's nothin' cold as ashes After the fire is gone.
SONNY: I got us this really nice reservation at this restaurant up in Richmond.
That's a hundred miles away.
SONNY: Well, don't want anybody to spot us.
(PHONE CHIMING) Oh, we got a new target package coming in.
I got to go back.
I'm sorry.
Hey, don't be sorry.
I'm gonna try for warrant officer.
NAIMA: What about Jason? You'll be an officer? Won't you outrank him? How's he gonna take that? Jason'll be fine.
Gentlemen, it's my privilege to introduce you to DEVGRU's next commanding officer, Captain Greyson Lindell.
Bravo Team, Captain Harrington told me all about you.
JASON: Game, set Ripper Magoo, next round's on you, buddy boy.
It's getting expensive hanging with you like this, man.
- Is that four in a row? - JASON: That would be five in a row.
Hey, beer's a great motivator.
How about you, Sonny boy? Want to get the next beating? - What? - I got to tell you, man, it's a little sad watching you sit there moping and waiting for a call - that's never gonna come in.
- Oh, come on, now.
Look-it, man, couples text in the 21st century there, - old-timer.
- Yeah, or don't, in your case.
Come on, this whole girlfriend thing, is it a rumor, or what? Look, I did not get stood up.
Because she has work obligations, as do I.
Speaking of which, I actually have a bottle at home with my name on it.
- See ya.
- Hard to believe I drafted that dude.
Be careful, or he's gonna be walking around upright real soon.
Damn.
Whole team's evolving, man.
And Bravo's gonna look a lot different once Ray leaves to run his own team.
Whoa, whoa.
Pump the brakes there.
You lobbying for 2IC? Come on.
Be a long time before you wear that crown.
I'm just saying, who you gonna turn to in a bind once Ray's gone, Full Metal? - Sure, if I want to bury a body.
- Yeah, exactly.
I'm saying that Ray leaves a void.
And you think you're the one who can fill that void? Yeah.
Yeah? Okay, tell you what - (DART THUDS) - let's go hit Smoke's.
- Last call.
- Come on.
Dude, we've been shutting bars down every night this week I need some shuteye, man.
You got to go home at some point, boss.
Yeah, I know.
I'm just gonna settle up my tab.
That's it.
And I will, uh, be on your six.
Hey.
Whiskey.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Hey Baby Ah, please don't sing that tune - Yeah, hey - (SIGHS) (JET PASSING) JASON: Your teammate suffers a line-over chute malfunction that strands him in enemy territory on the other side of the mountain from your LZ.
Your orders are to Charlie Mike, which leaves him to fend for himself.
What's your call? Do we have ISR? Negative, Candidate Yoder.
- Comms? - RAY: With the tactical operations center, - but not your guy.
- Continue the mission.
That's what secondary and tertiary exfil points are for.
I'd expect my team to do the same if it was me out there.
Hold security.
Wait for a FRAGO.
Reach out to partner forces.
Wait for orders.
And hold for a new window on the target.
- Do I like the guy? - RAY: Excuse me, Lopez, but how warm and fuzzy you are for this guy is gonna impact your decision? It'll impact how much I bitch about having to lug it over a mountain to save his ass.
Without question, I'm going for my teammate.
Move heaven and earth for any Frogman.
Team is everything.
But I'll bitch more if the guy's a turd.
Solid crop of candidates we got this year.
- Yep.
- Clay operated with that Yoder kid.
Swears he's the real deal, and I tend to agree.
Mm-hmm.
(GROANS) Out running with the young bucks again last night? Hard to soar with the eagles when you hoot with the owls.
What are you, like, my mother or something? Seriously? That's what you told me when I first joined Bravo, Jason.
Well, that Ray needed to hear that.
Now, look, you're all grown up, about to make master chief.
- Isn't that sweet? - (CHUCKLES) Yeah, look, Jace, about that, I, um Jace, what's up, man? We hitting the range? (LAUGHS): Look at that.
Mr.
Spenser's he's trying to find ways of buying me beers.
Isn't that nice of him.
You in? No, man.
I'll catch up with you later.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay, so, uh, later on.
Get in there.
CLAY: How'd my boy Yoder and the rest of the Green Team candidates look? Like a bunch of eighth graders.
SONNY: That's the beauty of Green Teamers.
We get older and they stay the same.
JASON: Yep.
CLAY: But my boy Yoder, dude's a pipe hitter, right? Yeah.
You know what? Looks Bravo-worthy to me.
Let's just hope that, uh he's better than my last candidate.
(CHUCKLES) CLAY: Hey, topless bull riding tonight at Smoke's.
You in? I'm definitely coming to Smoke's.
You kidding? Gonna roll, rip, ready.
- (LAUGHTER) - The Wilt Chamberlain twins ride again.
That's right.
- (BARKS) - Hey! This is Dr.
Natalie Pierce.
She is a research physiologist at the NHRC's Department of Warfighter Performance.
The Navy can keep trying, but my head can't be shrunk.
She's a physiologist, not a psychologist, Sonny.
Please, just call me Natalie.
I'm here to conduct research to identify risk factors associated with operational longevity.
Bravo Team's your lab rats, right? I know how this kind of thing could be received downrange.
I just wanted to get us all on the same page.
Same page, that's all.
LINDELL: Master Chief Hayes, a word.
Warfighter longevity is one of my priorities.
Most valuable resource for future generations is the current one.
I would like you to give Natalie every opportunity to work with Bravo Team.
Appreciate that, sir, but Bravo Team has a way of doing things.
- We're just fine.
- NATALIE: Do you? Bravo Team has a lot of miles on it, and you have even more.
Lot a gas left in the tank.
I actually have that "new car" smell.
NATALIE (CHUCKLES): I'm here to help you manage that wear-and-tear.
Keep the tank from hitting empty, and the only way that I can do that is by seeing what's under the hood.
Wow.
Now, you know what, that is quite a sales pitch.
It's not a pitch.
It's my job.
And I'm good at it.
I'm sure you're better than good.
But we're fine.
It is my belief that nobody could benefit more from Natalie's expertise than you, Master Chief.
I just wanted you to break the ice.
Ice has been broken, sir.
Dr.
Pierce.
Natalie.
Warrant Officer Mack, you got a minute? Hmm.
That's awful formal sounding for a door-kicker, - Senior Chief Perry.
What's up, man? - (LAUGHS) - You all right? - I wanted to, uh Yeah, I'm good.
I just wanted to follow up about putting in a package.
Don't tell me you changed your mind - about going warrant officer? - Oh, not a chance.
My man.
- My man.
Have a seat.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
I was afraid your teammates talked you out of it.
- Frogmen freak when one of us goes warrant.
- Well, that's because no one actually knows what the hell a warrant officer does.
That's kind of true.
Got the fancy title.
Straddling the worlds between enlisted and officer ranks.
You wonder why our boys freak? Nah, that's the beauty of the gig, man it's, like, one day you're in your camis on a sniper rifle, the next day you're in a suit rubbing elbows with dignitaries, trying to facilitate a clandestine op.
You end up becoming, like, a an expert in all things Special Operations, you know what I mean? Offer Bravo a fresh perspective.
Well, it's a good thing Jason Hayes is always open - to new ideas, you know? - Right.
Right.
How'd he take the news? My team leader's head exploded when I told him.
Yeah.
I haven't exactly told him yet.
So, look, I'm just gonna say it.
I, uh, I'd appreciate it if you'd consider sponsoring my package.
Really? Look, a thinking man like you, you're gonna make a great warrant, okay? Put your service record together.
I'll convene a review board.
Make sure you, you know, walk the line for the next few months, okay? I don't want anything derailing your application.
I hear you.
Never thought I'd be jealous of paperwork.
But them hours you've been grinding with eggheads, you're startin' to change.
I'm sorry about last night.
Just awful inconsiderate.
The enemy isn't considerate of our social schedule.
- Well, I'll make it up to you.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah, I got us tickets to the Longbranch Rodeo.
- Ooh-wee.
Figured it'd be good to, uh, get out of these walls.
Rubbed meat and rope tying is the quickest way to this Texas boy's heart.
- Can't wait.
- Good.
Ensign Davis.
Petty Officer Quinn.
What was that about? Aw, you know, we were just talkin' and Oh, relax.
I-I told him that we're - we're just friends.
- What do you mean? He said something to you? (PHONE BEEPS) This is bad, Sonny.
My brother.
What's this about Lindell bringing in a physiologist? What was that about? Some new C.
O.
thinking they can reinvent the wheel, - that's what it's about.
- Yeah, till you show him the wheels are spinning just fine, right? You know, if it's not broke, don't fix it, right? Our motto is: Can't mess with success.
I agree.
Which is why I've decided not to go for master chief.
I'm staying with Bravo.
I'm sorry, what are you t what are you talking about? I put in for warrant officer.
Ray, you're about to make E-9.
You've been wanting to run your own team for years, and now you're putting in for warrant officer? I know.
I know, man, but I've just been thinking about it, I've been praying on it, talked to Naima about it, and it's just a lot of factors in play, Jace.
Big pay bump for my family.
I get to stick with my brothers.
Yeah, you get to stick with your brothers until they come around and they just snatch you up for some Special Activities assignment.
One foot in, one foot out.
That just affects the flow of the team.
Why the hell didn't you come to me about this first? 'Cause it's my choice, Jace.
It's my career.
Yeah, but it's my team.
My team.
(PHONE BEEPS) Unbelievable.
Warrant officer? This is Orion 9, a Malaysian trawler used by criminal and terror groups in Southeast Asia as a "hostage bank".
It holds high-value prisoners offshore until their ransoms are paid.
It's a floating prison.
And of the 14 hostages on board, three are American.
Martin Brice, Richard Harrison and Anna Loch.
- How long they been holding them? - Brice and Harrison were kidnapped three months ago; - Loch's been on the ship nearly six.
- RAY: Well, why not keep negotiating? What's pushing us to move now? Anna Loch has a kidney condition.
Proof-of-life videos indicate that she's in bad shape and won't live long without proper medical care.
Okay, so where are these pirates sailing? The Orion 9 is sailing somewhere in the territorial waters of the South China Sea.
At the moment, it's off grid.
And you don't know where it is? ERIC: Ensign Davis will find that boat soon enough.
And when she does, you're looking at a maritime interdiction, boys.
Anna Loch's life depends on it.
Maritime interdiction hostage rescue is no walk in the park.
Not like we haven't done it before, Ray.
- Never a roided-out fortress like this though.
- RAY: Exactly.
This one's far trickier.
This ship is outfitted with multiple defensive countermeasures.
Thai SEALs found that out the hard way.
They tried to interdict the Orion two weeks ago and failed.
Took on a number of casualties.
Before they went off the grid, pirates rigged the Orion with even more countermeasures: electrified perimeter fencing, a net of razor wire trailing the stern, and additional welding to nearly every hatch.
So, break into Fort Knox in the middle of the ocean.
What could go wrong? Yeah.
Thought you'd never ask.
Before the ship went dark, - FLIR showed sentries posted on deck.
- Yeah.
Which makes a helo insert too risky.
Thought risky was your thing, Sonny.
RHIBs should be quiet enough for a DUCK infil.
Pirates have blind spots here, so I think this is our hook point.
Yeah, but all that extra welding is gonna cost us more breach time.
And if we're made, them pirates will start popping off the hostages, and this whole op goes south.
We got another wrinkle.
When we were tracking the Orion, it typically skirted Chinese territorial waters.
Once on board, you got about ten minutes to complete the mission.
RAY: Yeah, and the minute they know we're on board, they're gonna head that way, knowing we won't risk war - by hanging around.
- CLAY: So, not only do we have to secure the hostages but we also have to take control of the boat and keep it out of China? We'll break up into three fireteams.
One to the hostages, one to the bridge, one to take out the aft steering.
You sure you want to go after the hostages that light on shooters? I'm-I'm thinking we secure the hostages while we hit the bridge, then head to the aft steering.
Every ship takedown that we have done, we've secured the bridge and the aft steering to control the vessel.
That's what we're gonna do.
We got time before we find the ship, so let's train before we spin up.
Got it? ERIC: All right, I'll scrounge the Green Team guys to help out.
Hi.
Hey.
I didn't see you in here.
I'm, uh, prepping for a protection op in Yemen.
- Ah.
- How you doing? I am feeling like a woman that's tasked with finding a ship in over a million square miles of open water.
- You'll find 'em.
- I don't know about that.
The Thai SEALs attempted a rescue and spooked these guys.
Caused them to change their pattern of behavior? That's what I'm bumping up against.
They changed their pattern five days after the Thai op.
So, why? Because maybe the assault isn't what caused them to break their pattern of behavior? What else would? Money.
That's-that's the only reason.
I Anna Loch's an American hostage.
She's sick.
She represents their biggest potential payday.
They'd want to keep her alive.
So, uh they get medical help, someplace they feel safe? Petty Officer Baker, find me all the harbors that the Orion's made port in in the last six months.
Will do, ma'am.
How 'bout a break, boss? How 'bout no? We ran it four times, we failed four times.
It might be worth rethinking our approach, Jason.
Run it again.
Move.
Move, move, move, move.
Ready, positions, set, go.
Take us out.
Move.
(GRUNTS) Come on.
Let's go! Sonny! - Come on, man.
- Move! Come on.
We're in! Go.
Break off.
Bravo 6, what's your status? (GUNSHOTS) Fall back! Fall back! Bravo 6, what's your status? (GUNSHOTS) We're trying to clear our way to the bridge.
Over.
Steering? All clear! Go.
Move, move, move.
Bravo 3, - stable aft steering? - (GUNFIRE) Negative, Bravo 1! I got held up at the breach point! JASON: You're moving too slow, Sonny.
Hurry it up, Texas.
(GROANS) Ah! God! Just a flesh wound.
(GUNFIRE) ERIC: You're out of time.
You're now entering Chinese waters.
Bravo 1, this is 6.
Bridge is secure.
Bravo 3, what's your status? 1, this is 4.
We're working a breach outside aft steering.
Damn it! Yeah, and almost killed twice, 'cause I'm on one wheel, dragging an axle.
JASON: Come on, let's go.
Move.
Ah, God! Open! Open! Open! (ALARM BUZZING) End ex.
End ex.
Yeah, well, that sucked.
ERIC: Congratulations, boys.
The hostages are dead, and those of you lucky enough to have survived will spend the rest of your lives - in some Chinese prison.
- Right.
Complete mission failure.
Complete mission failure.
What is the problem? - JASON: A lot of problems.
- Same plan, same result.
Well, fix it.
Resetting.
I still say we need to split into two teams instead of three.
CLAY: The plan's fine.
Problem is we're not moving together as a unit.
Agree.
Team mindset's off.
Completely whacked.
Well, the hook point needs fixing.
Too much exposure on the deck.
We'd have less exposure on this deck if you hit the first hatch a lot faster, Sonny.
You know that.
- First hatch, less than a minute.
- Finishing in a minute - shouldn't be a problem for Sonny.
- That's real hilarious there, - Blond Rickles.
- G-G-Guys, it's-it's training, all right? - Let's stop fighting.
Let's-let's learn.
- Damn right we're training.
- We're sitting here talking about practice.
- JASON: Yeah, practice.
Practice.
I mean, come on.
Since when do we give a lick about practice? Since a bunch of Green Teamers just handed us our lunch.
That's when we care, Sonny.
Okay, well, this game is rigged 'cause those newbies know - when and where we're coming.
- Get your head in the game, Sonny.
Think.
You're more concerned about some broad standing you up on the phone, doesn't call you back.
What the hell did you just say? - J.
- What part of that did you not understand? You're more concerned about your phone not ringing! J! Look, man, maybe we call it a night.
A-And we come back tomorrow after we cool off, okay? No, we're not gonna call it a night.
We're gonna run it again.
And then we're gonna go run it again until we get it right.
Nobody leaves the base.
Lockdown.
Getting it right.
Run it again! (GROANS) (GRUNTS) - Painkillers, huh? - (GROANS) Ooh.
- Must've been a hell of a day.
- (SIGHS) Still early.
The day is not over.
Trust me, I can still get it up.
You certainly know your way around a cold pack.
I'm guessing that's from the four arthroscopic knee surgeries, the torn rotator cuff, the dozen bone fractures.
Right.
Did you read all about that in my jacket? Let me guess, they had a, uh, centerfold of me - that you could pull out, look at, too, huh? - (CHUCKLES) Sadly, no.
But it did paint a picture.
Well, keep that picture in your brain, 'cause, uh, that's the only way you're gonna see me.
Sure about that? You're in the top one percent when it comes to operator age.
I'm the top one percent when it comes to anything operator-related.
- Called rarefied air.
- (CHUCKLES) Even air gets old.
That's where I come in.
You know, I'll tell you what, I'll pass.
I understand the body.
I understand how I work.
I don't need anyone to tell me differently.
- 'Course.
- Okay? No one is gonna tell me the odds.
Worked with a ton of team guys.
You all look at me the same at first.
Really? And how is that? - Oh, like I'm a narc, - (CHUCKLES) sent in to find out just how damaged you are so that Command can ship you off to the scrap heap.
You know, you have a very Serpico vibe to you.
Mm.
Yeah.
You don't know me and you do not trust me.
But another perspective is often the missing ingredient in maximizing longevity.
Right.
Well, tell you what.
It's a shame that there's nothing missing, 'cause I really wanted to see you again.
I'm fine.
Yeah.
That's why you're wearing, uh, two beer cans there and popping tramadol like they're M&M'S? - (SIGHS) - Look, there's one thing I know about operators: as much as you say you're all about team, you think you can take on the world all by yourselves.
I'll be here when you realize you can't.
(SIGHS) Davis.
Hey.
Listen, just wanted to clear the air.
Not at work, Sonny.
Okay, well, where else are we gonna do it? (SIGHS) Does Ray know about us? - No.
- Then why did you need to explain to him that we're just friends? He saw us in Serbia, and he asked.
And you didn't tell me? Is this why you wanted to go to Richmond last month? You know, I almost missed a briefing because of that.
What-what do you mean? Lisa, people go to Richmond.
They-they go to dinner, - and people miss things, okay? - Sonny, we are walking in a minefield, and the least that you can do is tell me where the mines are.
This relationship is hard enough, but it's gonna be impossible if I can't trust you.
You're telling me you can't trust me? You're in your head, Lisa, and you need to relax.
Don't tell me what to do.
- (CHUCKLES) What is your problem? - You're not listening.
- That is my problem.
- Wow.
- I can't do this right now.
- Yeah.
- We've got 14 people that are depending on us.
- We do.
- Okay.
- Roger that.
Fall back! Fall back! We're pinned down! Damn it! - (GUNFIRE CONTINUES) - Too slow! Move! (GUNSHOTS) (ALARM BUZZING) Move! Back to one.
Do it again.
Run it again! 12 hours straight.
I feel like a rented mule.
Still not good enough.
We're still outgunned once we make entry.
Still taking too long to open the first hatch.
SONNY: I've been staring at a 10,000-degree lightsaber on repeat.
I'm going blind.
What about a carbide blade? - Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Carbide blade cuts faster - than a diamond cuts.
Can shave off 15, 20 - What'd you just say? What'd you say? Maybe I'll use it to cut that loose tongue out of your mouth, newbie.
- You better watch yourself, Yoder.
- Come on.
Come on.
Ease up, Texas.
Carbide blade wears out faster, anyway.
Two hatches down, Sonny'll be changing blades while the bad guy starts popping hostages.
Well, Yoder's just trying to execute Jason's plan, okay? Maybe we wouldn't be in this jam if y'all were doing the same thing.
You know what, tell me what the team needs once you've been here as long as I have, how about that? Well, I hear that's not possible, Ray, 'cause I hear - you're never leaving.
- JASON: All right, knock it off.
Knock it off.
Running us into the ground isn't proving anything, Jason.
It proves to me that priorities are out of whack.
- That's what it proves to me.
- SONNY: Our priorities? Yeah, priorities, Sonny.
SONNY: What the hell, man? We were locked in here playing paintball because you got nowhere else to go - but the bar.
- Hour break.
- SONNY: Yeah.
- Eat some Twinkies.
- That's the truth and you know it.
- All right - Back at it.
- Yeah, grab another drink.
(EXHALES) Stop.
Ready? Yeah.
(BOTH GRUNT) You didn't have to do that.
Yeah, well, I figure if I'm nice, maybe you'll stop shooting us in the ass.
(LAUGHS) You know, you guys don't stand a chance.
I mean, we know when you're coming.
I know your hook point.
We may be Green Team, but we're still serious door-kickers.
Read in your file you're from Newark.
- That's a rough city, man.
- You could say that.
I know that look.
Come on, talk on it.
Neighborhood, I could handle.
My old man was a different story, though, depending which version of him walked through the door that night.
But you did eventually get away.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
When I was 14.
Lebanese restaurant.
Started washing dishes.
That's where you learned Arabic.
(SPEAKING ARABIC) Spent my whole life feeling out of place.
So I ran.
I ran from my family, from the restaurant.
I even ran from the regular Navy to BUD/S.
But when I made it to the teams, I stopped.
Think you'd fit in well with our team? You got a bunch of stone-cold hammers who aren't afraid to let the world know their opinions.
If being alpha is the prime ingredient for Bravo, well, then, Yoder's your man, not me.
But if you need a guy who can keep his mouth shut, his kit tight and wants to do the work? Well, then, I might be your guy.
Direct ISR to Ha Long Bay and track the coast moving north.
The Orion 9's probably hiding amongst the commercial boats - in the area.
- Roger that, ma'am.
Find the Orion, Ensign Davis? Not yet, sir.
Uh, but we did confirm that it made port in Cam Pha two days ago.
Vietnam.
Makes sense.
Remote.
Less likely to run into issues there.
I'm guessing they're sailing north for the protection of Chinese waters.
- That's great work, Ensign.
- Took too long to figure out.
Every minute counts.
Ensign.
Officers carry a heavy enough burden without kicking the snot out of themselves.
No offense, but you got to get over it.
You committed all your energy and focus into finding the Orion.
You did your job.
Done.
Bravo must be primed for battle with all the training you guys have been doing.
More like, uh coming apart at the seams.
Jason's got us locked down.
Guys are at each other's throats, but he can't see he's just making things worse.
Jason's digging in his heels? I can't believe it.
- (CHUCKLES) - Oh, he just seems hell-bent on proving he can do this op without me.
Without any of us.
And given all the challenges of this op, it seems like your perspective might help.
Unfortunately, "help" is a foreign word to Jason, Mandy.
I'll talk to you.
All right, let's go.
Break time's over, okay? Sonny, switch out the quickie saw with the Broco.
- Come on.
- Roger that.
Ensign Davis just located the Orion 9 sitting off the coast of Vietnam.
We're wheels up in an hour.
Wheels up in an hour.
SONNY: Oh, man, I would much rather crack this nut before jumping back in the fire.
- (GRUNTS) - It's a little late to start caring about training now, there, Sonny.
Ah, kiss my ass, platinum wonder.
RAY: You think the Pentagon cares that every run has ended in disaster? Know what, Pentagon trusts us to hit it on target.
They say go, we go.
(GRUNTS) Hey.
- JASON: Yeah.
- Can't sleep? Yeah, well, you know, jumping into a zero-margin op where the team's been off all week? Yeah, I can't sleep.
What do you think? So now you're trying to figure out the impossible - all by yourself? - I've done it before, Sonny.
I know you have.
But is that what got you through BUD/S alone? What about Green Team? The strength of the pack is the wolf, but the strength of the wolf is the pack.
- And the pack's out of sorts right now.
- Okay, well, maybe training balls to the wall's - got something to do with that.
- Got to run hard if you want to break through.
And breakthrough is worthless if the cost is breakdown.
You're here to question my leadership, just turn around, go to sleep.
Jace, I would follow you anywhere.
You know that.
But you got this way of bending the universe and forcing it into the way you think things are supposed to be.
You're not alone in this, Jason.
The Orion's steaming north about two miles from Chinese waters.
ISR picked up four sentries on deck.
Uh, that's a scenario we trained for.
Let's run it like we planned, boys.
Let's go.
All right, hold up.
Look, I know these past few days, I've pushed you really hard during the training.
And maybe that's because of all the changes that I'm going through back home in my life.
I just want you to know that I trust each and every one of you with my life.
And there's no other group of guys I'd rather jump into hell with.
So, let's get this done.
Come on.
- Together.
- Hooyah.
All right? - We got this, man.
- Come on.
Havoc, this is 1.
We're passing Yellowhammer.
Good copy, Bravo 1.
Passing Yellowhammer.
Be advised, I am seeing what appears to be one sentry headed towards the starboard side.
JASON: Good copy, Havoc.
JASON: Take us out.
DAVIS: Bravo 1, be advised.
You have an armed sentry headed toward the bridge of the vessel.
How copy? JASON: Good copy.
Sonny.
Breacher up.
Ray.
Ray, sentry's back.
Cover the starboard side.
ERIC: Bravo 1, this is Havoc.
Be advised, sentry is 15 meters after your pos.
Looks like he's stopped moving.
Ray, you got him? Nothing yet.
ERIC: Bravo 1, be advised.
Sentry is on the move again.
He's gonna be on top of you soon.
Get inside.
They're gonna know we're here fast.
Move! Hurry up! Pirates are awake.
(MEN SHOUTING) I'm in.
The target ship just changed course.
She's headed approximately 40 degrees due north.
How long till they make Chinese territory? Ten minutes.
- Our guys beat that time in training? - Not once.
Bravo 1, this is Havoc.
Be advised, the target vessel has changed its heading and is moving out for Chinese waters.
You have approximately ten minutes to gain control of that vessel before you are forced to abort.
How copy? Good copy, Havoc.
Hey, I got to call an audible.
Keep the aft team with us? Well, you should have said that earlier.
Sonny, Clay, Brock, on the bridge; rest on me.
We're going with Ray's plan two teams instead of three.
Havoc, this is 1.
I'm passing Camellia.
ERIC: 1, I copy Camellia, break.
We'll cover the topside for you.
Chinese waters are coming up awfully fast.
Sonny, how much you got left in that torch? Enough.
(GUNFIRE) That's a big gunfight up there, Jace.
- It's not our problem.
- (GUNFIRE CONTINUES) Bravo 6, what's your sitrep? SONNY: It's open! 1, this is 6, about to make entry.
Go.
(EXPLOSION) Trent, you're up.
Padlock.
Nice toss, Broccoli.
Bravo 6, bridge is secure.
Adjusting our heading.
Shutting her down.
(HOSTAGES SCREAMING) Please! Please! No! No! Please, no! (OVERLAPPING SHOUTING) (SCREAMING) ANNA: Oh, God! Oh, my God! Only 500 yards from Chinese waters.
SONNY: Ooh-ee! I told you all that training would pay off.
You talking about practice? I'm talking about practice.
(WHIMPERING) We're American military.
Here to take you home.
All right.
Come on.
We're here to take you home.
We got you.
It's okay.
You're safe now.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Havoc, this is 1.
Passing Racking Horse.
That's a good copy, 1.
Passing Racking Horse.
Nice job, gents.
Let's get you guys out of there.
Extract is inbound.
Sounds good to us.
Bravo out.
We're gonna take you home.
Okay? Over here.
Over here.
Easy.
Easy.
Easy.
JASON: Here you go.
Hell of a week, huh? RAY: (SCOFFS) I'll say.
- But we got it done, right? - Mm-hmm.
We got it done, man.
Listen, Ray, this whole, uh, warrant thing.
You know, you going for it I I get it, you know? Your family.
I should have supported you more, and I didn't, and I feel bad about that.
Look, brother, I-I should have talked to you about it.
I really should have.
I just I never thought how me staying would disrupt the team.
Yeah, team needs you.
Always known it, but these past few days just proved it even more and more.
Yeah.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm gonna fight like hell to keep Bravo "Bravo" for as long as possible.
Well, how long is that gonna be? I don't know.
- Hopefully, another few decades, right? - (GROANS) I don't know if I can last that long, Ray.
Look, man, you-you've passed Bravo down to all of us, - and it's on the young bucks to keep it going.
- Right.
I've got to make sure they get this Green Team pick right, huh? (SIGHS) So, this kid Yoder, you think he's, uh he's Bravo material? Guy checks all the boxes.
Okay, checks all the boxes, but you don't sound too convincing.
Look, brother, we already got a lot of Yoders.
I think what the team needs is a guy who's gonna complement his teammates, not compete with them.
And for me, that guy is Vic Lopez.
Vic? Yes.
J, we're not getting any younger, man.
This pick is about Bravo ten years from now.
And if Clay's running the show, who'd make a better 2IC: Vic or Yoder? Seems to me a ninja team leader with a more reserved number two works pretty damn well.
Just my two cents.
All right, boys, what is it Blackburn always says? - ALL: Listen up! - So listen up.
Let's all welcome the newest brother to Bravo Team.
SONNY: Drumroll! Vic Lopez.
- And here he is.
- (WHOOPING) Huh? Come on.
There it is, buddy boy.
Come on.
Get in there now.
Before you start, uh, buying us cases of beer And it will be cases.
Yeah.
Bravo has decided to buy you your first drink.
Aw.
SONNY: Here you go.
Okay.
Don't spill.
That's the good stuff.
Chug.
- Chug.
Take no breaks.
- (OVERLAPPING CHATTER) Keep your lips on the glass! Hey! - All the way.
- SONNY: What is that face you're making? - (COUGHING) - Go, go, go! - Don't stop.
- SONNY: Come on.
Are you gonna cry? - Don't cry.
Don't make him cry.
- Keep going.
Keep going.
'Cause it's good for you.
- ALL: Yeah! - SONNY: There you go! - RAY: Welcome to Bravo, brother.
- SONNY: He's sweating already.
(SONNY LAUGHS) Yeah.
JASON: Watch out for the can now.
The tin cans.
Hey, hey, hey.
Whoa, whoa.
Where you going? What? What happened to drafting Yoder? Changed my mind.
Ray change it for you? You know what? If you make it one day to team leader, you're gonna understand.
Until then, he's the guy.
Come on.
We're gonna hit the Bulkhead.
Coming? I'm buying.
No, I'm going to, uh I'm gonna go home.
(DOOR OPENS) (CRICKETS CHIRPING) (TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWING) (GRUNTS SOFTLY) I don't get it.
What's the matter? - We are, Sonny.
- (LAUGHS): Come on.
Hold on, now.
I mean, you know, the whole week was off.
Everybody was off, but so what? No, it isn't just this week, one week.
This is every day of every week.
This is our life now.
Ah, it ain't a bad life, is it? It is not a life.
It is a lie.
We're stealing conversations.
We're-we're hiding how we feel.
We're sneaking out of town.
We're trying to worry about if our friends find out, because if this gets out, our careers are done.
Uh, after all we've been through? Hmm, it's this it's this damn job.
It's not just a job, Sonny.
Lives are at stake.
Yeah, I'm aware of that.
(CLEARS THROAT) We have not been ourselves on the clock the past few days.
What happens when the stakes get real for us as a couple? The stakes are real for us, Lisa.
We just crushed that op.
And when the chips were down, every damn person stepped up.
Look at me.
We can get through this.
We can't be together, Sonny.
Are you saying it's over? Look, you are my best friend.
I thought we could handle this, but it can't work.
Not as long as both of us are at DEVGRU.
I'm sorry.
