SEAL Team (2017) s04e05 Episode Script

The Carrot or the Stick

Previously on SEAL Team You know, behind that pious front of yours, Ray, - you are one selfish little - Hey, hey! Change and operators aren't always a good mix.
- Video just came in.
- That's Perry.
A SEAL has never been in enemy captivity before.
I want my team back.
- Bravo is not deployable.
- They are with me.
Good to have our QB back.
I'm not back, Sonny, I'm just here for Ray.
You'll be without overwatch or a close QRF.
Eh, we'll take that deal.
They must got something really big in there with all this firepower! Or someone! Not waiting on the cavalry.
We got to see what's inside.
Clear.
I got nothing.
This ain't the place, boys.
Video file from a phone Bravo pulled.
The picture on the wall.
We were in that room.
20 minutes late.
There was something else on the phone.
Messages offering Ray up.
I let him slip away.
Sonny, pass me that extra mag, will you? Will you guys knock it off? You do you, Thirty.
The rest of us are gonna stay ready for the next time we roll out to get Ray.
Four hits since we missed him three days ago.
That ain't enough to keep you primed? So many dry holes, they got me chafing.
The longer it takes to find him, the worse his chances get.
Whole task force has torn Tunisia apart, so could be he's been moved out of country.
Davis wasn't sure who Ansar was brokering him to.
She thought maybe the Al-Khidhir Movement.
I just hope it's not AKM.
Killing Americans is their Red River Showdown.
That video was a negotiation.
- Doesn't mean that a deal closed.
- All right, look.
Ray's trained to do whatever it takes to escape and survive.
But if whoever has him has found out he's U.
S.
military They'd have splashed the execution video all over Jihad Tonight.
You know what? Ray's out there somewhere.
He needs us.
We're gonna go find him and bring our brother home.
Alive.
Davis.
Davis.
What are you doing? Boys are ready for the next target package - and you're having a coffee break? - I'm still working on it.
Come on.
Still working on it? You're working on the coffee.
- You're not working on the package here - You're back in midseason form after a couple months off.
I have been up for nearly a hundred hours chasing leads on Ray.
Caffeine is necessary.
You're right, you're right.
I get it, I get it.
Look, I know that you're climbing the walls, desperate for another door to kick, but it's not like the Intel gets stronger as we widen our search.
You're the one who saw the signs of Al-Hazred Jr.
when everyone else didn't, so there's got to be something here.
- There's one thing.
- What's that? In the HUMINT we used to build yesterday's raid in Tunis, there was a single reference to the city of Sousse.
Sousse? What's there? Well, that's the question.
It's not a terrorist hotbed, but it caught my eye because there's a stray ping in Sousse in SIGIN used to build the Annaba raid the day before.
Maybe the group went underground 'cause all hell's ensued.
Or maybe it's a money launderer or a weapons dealer that's got nothing to do with Ray.
I got a lot of dots that don't connect.
It's not enough information to build a legitimate target package.
Well, I-I understand that, but, you know, these legitimate target packages that we've had have yielded us nothing these past few days.
Well, I appreciate that you want to do anything and everything to find Ray, but we can't send operators - out on a wild goose chase.
- I'll tell you what.
If you have reason for us to get to Sousse, we're there.
All right? Trust your gut.
Just trust it.
I do.
Come on.
The target is a tobacconist's shophouse in the city of Sousse.
We looking for Ray or Full Metal's nicotine fix? You remember Salah Behadj? Yeah, that's the leader of the Ansar cell that grabbed Ray.
Who wasn't home the night that Alpha and Charlie hit the house and we missed our Bravo 2.
That night his phone pinged once in Sousse.
At the shophouse? We couldn't triangulate his location that precisely, but an Ansar foot soldier mentioned the tobacconist under interrogation.
So, our best lead to Ray is based off of this phone ping and some random comment by a dead man walking? Our best lead is based off of exhaustive analysis of the available Intel.
But even if Behadj was at the smoke shop, why hit it three days later? 'Cause we're not looking for him, all right? We're looking for Ray.
So let Davis finish.
Go ahead.
There's a handful of Tunisian and foreign fighters that have been detained in Sousse over the past six months, all of them in close proximity to the shophouse, which I believe to be a stop on the AKM ratline bringing fighters, family members and hostages in and out of the country.
So, if somebody moved Ray out of Tunisia, you're saying that it's possible it was coordinated out of the shophouse.
- It's possible.
- Yeah.
This isn't Intel.
This is just data.
Does the available Intel indicate that Ansar actually transferred Ray to AKM? No.
No.
All right, so, we don't know for sure that this place is even part of AKM's ratline.
And even if it is, we don't know that AKM has Ray.
So, who and what are we actually looking for in this tobacky shop? Anything or anyone that's gonna lead us to Ray.
Yeah, I don't mind fishing if it ends up getting Ray, but what do we expect on target? - How many fighters? - We don't know.
Task force is also prepping a new package for all assault teams on Behadj.
He's resurfaced on Sfax, but diplomatic issues are slowing its approval.
Task force is calling him Target A.
In the meantime, Bravo has been approved to hit Target B, our shophouse.
Why not wait for Target A, an actual terrorist tied to Ray? Why? Because this is the most important op of our lives, and we're gonna turn over every stone that Davis has if that means getting Ray back.
You got it? So, quit bitching, jock up.
- Jace.
- Yeah.
Listen, I respect the fact that you came back for one last op to save Ray, but don't make it Bravo's last, too.
They want him back just as bad as I do.
And that's why they're following you.
Just be careful where you lead 'em.
Unless you want sacrificing the whole team to be your legacy.
I came back to get Ray.
That's what I'm gonna do.
Get up.
Get up.
Rise and shine.
Up! Get up! Stay right there.
Stay right Nice and easy, baby.
Get up.
Hey! - Sonny.
Hey, Sonny! Sonny, take it easy.
- What? Stay still right there, huh? If these guys are Ansar like Davis says they are, - they could be strapped.
- But they aren't.
All right? And they might know something useful.
Carrots before sticks.
You know, this desk job of yours has turned you into a real pacifist, Mahatma Blondie.
Or maybe this guy's just taking the punishment right now 'cause you're mad at yourself for your little fight with Ray.
Oh, it's got nothing to do with that, all right? Just these two.
- Weapons? - No.
No, nobody's carrying any hardware.
Not sure these fellas are ready for the end of days.
Davis's theory might be off.
Brock, collect SSE, will ya? Trent, Metal, hold security up front.
The rest of you, take pictures for Havoc, will you? Havoc, this is 1.
I pass Barnacle.
Sending pictures soon for FRS.
Bravo 1, Havoc copies Barnacle.
Standing by for images.
Gonna take a few to run 'em.
There's too many of them and too few of us to drill down on all of 'em at once.
Not sure we have time for that.
Hey, Jace, who you want to start with? Got to figure out who works here.
These two were sleeping in the office.
Sonny, drill down on him.
Let's go, Q-tip.
What do you say you and I have a little chat? Clay, you're with me.
I am Zied.
You think I'm a danger to you because I look like them.
But they are not my friends.
I'm not asking about your name or anything about you, but it appears you spend more time with these savages.
If you can tell me what to expect Perhaps if I knew what lies ahead, I can Silent treatment.
I know this very well.
My six-year-old does this when he's cross with me.
But, eventually, I always win Sami over.
I'm afraid I will never see him again.
I am more afraid for him.
He hasn't heard from me in many days.
What must he think has happened? A parent is meant to worry for their child, not the other way around.
Where are you from? This guy's stonewalling.
Somebody must have said something about an American passing through.
Who was it? Come on.
I'm-I'm trying to gain some rapport.
Okay, Ray doesn't have time for that.
Have you seen this man? Huh? Look at me.
Have you seen this man? - Get anything? - No.
He just stared at me like he was downwind from Full Metal on fajita night.
Sit your ass down.
Captain America's taking this too personal.
Got us running down rabbit holes, wasting time and energy.
Yeah, well, if Bravo 1 hadn't come back, none of us would be here right now.
You're hoping this is Jordan coming out of retirement.
What I'm hoping is you stop bitching about every damn thing, and start giving a crap about finding Ray.
You think I don't care? I've known him longer than you.
And I wasn't the one who blew him up - the last time I spoke to him.
- Yeah.
Prime Time's a hell of an operator.
Same training we had, smarter than the both of us put together.
You better believe he's working the problem.
If there's a way for him to escape he'll find it.
Got him to talk already, huh? Your charm is undeniable.
- How about your guy? - Nope, he's all clammed up and got no leverage, no carrots.
Havoc, this is 1.
Need FRS update.
Bravo 1, FRS negative.
Copy.
Negative on FRS.
Bravo 1, be advised, Target A has been approved.
- What do you got? - Office had a bunch of photos, stolen passports, visa paperwork.
Forging materials.
This place is definitely working on the ratline.
Davis was right.
Doesn't mean Ray was here.
Could sweat all these guys and see what they know.
Don't have time for that when there's an actual target to hit.
Hey.
You seen this man recently? Look at him.
Look at him.
Look.
I got cash.
How 'bout a nice vacation? Whatever you need.
Anyone.
You seen him? You seen this man recently? - We're wasting time.
- Have you seen him? - Ray's time.
- Have you seen him? Coming here looking for answers was the right thing to do.
- Anyone! - But Thirty's right.
Absolutely nothing puts Ray here.
Let me talk to two guys.
That's it.
These two.
We stick around, and the rest of these guys are more useless than these two, then we miss Behadj.
The guy actually behind Ray's capture.
Havoc, this is 1.
I got 11 uniform on target.
Request prisoner transport from partner force.
When that happens, we'll move on to Target A.
Bravo 1, Havoc copies all.
We'll contact the BA and get a prisoner transport out to target.
That's a good copy.
Check their wrists.
Make sure they're secure.
Do a med check, too.
I don't want these guys complaining they were mistreated when the Tunisians show up.
Got it? Turn around.
What the hell? - Jace.
- Yeah? Check this out, man.
That's Ray's watch.
Hey that's Ray's watch! What have they done? How can I help you? Keep your voice down.
- You want 'em to come back? - No.
I want to know what they have done to you.
It's not about breaking your body.
Though pounding on the soles of your feet, ripping out your fingernails hurts like hell.
They want to break your mind and your spirit.
They come randomly.
No schedule.
It's disorienting.
To drive us insane.
How do you stay sane? Focus on what keeps your spirit strong.
Faith.
Family.
You have children? Two.
They were, uh They were upset the night before I left, so I didn't kiss 'em good-bye the next morning.
Can you imagine that? Passing on a chance to kiss your babies.
I'm getting out of here to make that right.
I met my wife demonstrating for democracy in the revolution.
I still love to hear stories about the protests.
They have happy endings.
Hope and hard work wins the day.
But what if I was wrong to teach him about hope? No father wants to be the reason his kid's childhood ends.
But you did the right thing.
I don't know.
Hey, you and me, we need that lesson now more than ever.
That that hope, that we'll see our family again, that's what gets us through this.
We have got to stay strong for them.
For them.
Please use English.
Your butchered Arabic hurts my ears.
Tell us about the watch, Faraz.
You went through our IDs.
Oh, you're smart, man.
I like dealing with smart people.
Dumb people, they just annoy me.
So tell us about the watch.
Numbers are big, easy to read.
- Where'd you get it? - It was a gift.
- From who? - Whom.
Someone who thought I deserved it.
Why would you deserve it? Why wouldn't I? Do you know it has a thermometer? No air conditioning here, and now I know exactly how hot it gets.
31 degrees in the middle of the night.
You know, some people find that uncomfortable.
Do you? - Would you like water? - I would.
It's not going to change my answers about the watch.
Let's talk about you, shall we? There's more people out there than there are bags.
- Married couples pack together.
- We went through the bags.
One of them had women's clothes.
You should not have touched those.
My calculations, that means two people aren't traveling they work here.
Maybe you'd be less concerned about the air conditioning if you were just passing through.
Maybe I'm simply making conversation.
Okay, so, if you don't work here, that means you're traveling to the fight.
And I'm sorry, I just I don't see that.
A fighter's ability comes from his soul, not his body.
Really? So if I gave you my knife, what would you do with it? I'd slit your throat.
Now, that is the first honest answer we've had.
Okay, let's try two for two.
Have you seen him? Unless we're talking about the weather, I have nothing to say.
All right, we're done here.
Let's go.
Come on.
- Go.
Get out.
Sonny? - Yep? Keep this guy secluded.
- Don't give him any water, will you? - Copy, boss.
The hell was that about the knife? Trying to get a read on him.
So, what do you think? Well, good English.
When you mentioned the women's clothes, he's definitely more religious than secular.
I agree with you, he's not on his way to the front, - but he could be in charge here.
- Bravo 1, this is Havoc.
Support teams have been withdrawn.
Bravo is now taking Target A solo.
What is your ETA? Havoc, this is 1.
We're still digging.
How copy? It's gonna be hard convincing him to leave when he doesn't know how Ray's watch got there.
Yeah, worst thing that could happen is Jason doesn't get his answers and we lose our shot at Behadj.
Yeah, Bravo 1, understand you need more time on target.
- Make it quick.
- Havoc, we need to delay the partner force coming for the prisoner transport.
We're doing what we can, Bravo 1, but 11 uniform on target got the Tunisians' attention.
With Charlie and Foxtrot tied up, if we don't move on Behadj, nobody gets him.
Faraz is the key.
He either crossed paths with Ray or knows somebody who did.
We have no many hands this watch passed through before he ended up with it this could be a dead end.
He had that watch 'cause he's important to someone.
You think he's not in charge here? Threatening to slit my throat? Come on, poser, he's arrogant.
Trying too hard to prove his self-worth.
If he's working for someone, how are we gonna find out, man? He knows not to say anything.
So you want to pop smoke and go for Behadj? Whatever you think's best, man I'll follow your lead.
I lead let's go find Faraz's boss.
How do you go through something like this and think you'll see your children again? There's no hope in that room.
You have to believe there's light at the end of the tunnel.
It's the only way.
Is that where you see a light? It may be small, but makes me feel like I have some control.
Oh, no.
No, not again.
They can't be coming back so soon.
Here's your special request.
Kitchen closes in ten.
Thank you.
Guess Faraz wasn't thirsty after all.
Unless he needs permission.
Let's see who he's waiting on.
Think we found the boss.
Look at that that's impressive, Mr.
Nasri.
Hid in plain sight in your office.
Too bad Faraz gave you up.
Faraz is not as smart as he thinks he is.
So are you gonna have to tell your AKM bosses that he messed up or is that something you can handle? Look, I completely understand how frustrating middle management can be.
I am an independent businessman.
A talented one when it comes to smuggling people.
But we don't care where those folks outside are going, right? I do, I do have one question though.
Now I assume that Faraz sleeps near the room to keep an eye on the guests.
Why was one of them in here with you, the boss? Is that your one question? It's been bothering me since we figured out who's who.
He wouldn't share a room with the women.
The curtain wasn't enough for him.
You thought I was going to ask something else? You've been waving a picture around since you arrived.
You were interested in Faraz's watch.
You know anything about either one? When you go fishing, you need better bait.
Wouldn't you rather be fishing instead of, uh, making travel arrangements for people you don't even like? Look, I-I believe that you're a businessman.
Because if you were really committed to the fight, you wouldn't be operating out of this office.
I would prefer my family to live in a world with no bloodshed.
But my business partners value my discretion.
And as you know, these are not people to betray.
We can protect you.
We can protect your family.
If you tell us what we want to know.
You are in no position to make any offer.
You already told me you're middle management.
It's just an act.
Been through it four times before.
Just deep breaths.
Stay with me.
How could you go on as though nothing has happened? That was worse than physical pain.
I told you.
Think about your son.
I'd rather kill myself than let those people have power over me and Sami.
I know that feeling.
I've had it myself.
But we have power, too.
What, what power? Knowledge.
They made a mistake when they walked us in together.
See, now that we know there are at least five of them and each only has one weapon.
This is how your mind works? Does that mean we can escape? Is that what that is for? I think we have a better shot than most people in our situation would, but we need a way to call for help.
A phone or radio.
Have you noticed static when they walk you to the other room? Yes.
Yes.
What is it? That's what we need to find out.
Okay.
Bravo 1, this is Havoc, give me a sitrep.
Come on, get up.
Get your ass up.
Go.
Havoc, this is 1, we need more time on target.
Yeah, I hope that means someone's talking, 'cause the window's closing on Target A.
The assault on Behadj isn't the only clock that they need to worry about.
Bravo 1, be advised you have local authorities en route to your pos to take custody of detainees.
- I thought you were buying us more time.
- We tried.
But the Tunisians want to put a lid on this as soon as they can.
They're responsible for anyone detained.
What's their ETA? Approximately 15 mikes.
I copy, 15 mikes.
Bravo out.
On me.
Clock's running out.
We need a buzzer beater.
- What's on your mind, Jace? - Nasri knows something.
- Faraz, too.
- That smoke shop's giving you a contact high you think we're getting anything - from those dudes.
- Could go at Nasri again, - sweeten the offer.
- Nah, he's more afraid of AKM than he is of us.
Not gonna make a deal.
Can't give a carrot to someone who ain't hungry.
How about we give them the stick? Enhanced interrogation? Standard interrogation's got us nothing.
Lot of people say EITs get that same result.
Doesn't matter if it works or not, it's illegal.
What, are we gonna sit back and watch Ray get his throat slit because we're afraid of some kind of court-martial? This is the ticking time bomb scenario that EIT is for.
Mm-hmm.
They do it to us.
Turnabout is fair play.
We got to be better than that.
Better than them.
If-if we sink down to their level If we don't sink to their level, Ray's got no shot.
Team leader who taught me what this job means would never cross this line.
That line got moved when those dirtbags got Ray.
Think of your legacy as an operator.
Every good thing that you ever did on the teams gets erased by this one act.
Every good thing gets thrown out if I don't get Ray back.
- I mean I-I want to find him, too, but - All right, look, my career is over when I get Ray back, yours isn't.
You're on thin ice with Command as it is.
I'm not bringing you down with me.
You, either.
You know, I just keep thinking about how Ray reacted when we all wanted to lie for him when we thought he threw that homewrecker, and I'm just not sure he'd want us to trade our honor for his life.
Especially you, Jace.
If I don't do whatever it takes to get Ray back, his family will see him executed.
I'll have no honor to speak of.
Yeah, we're the only one thinking, uh I'd rather be bounced trying to save his life than regret letting you hang alone.
I'm in.
This here is what separates us from the enemy.
We have a code and they don't.
Sonny's right, Jace.
Ray wouldn't want this.
Oh.
It's good he's not here to stop me, then.
Let's go.
I don't suppose you'll tell me why you're so calm about all this.
I am not calm.
I'm scared.
I'm scared every minute.
It takes everything I have not to show it to them.
I cannot give them the satisfaction of knowing they're getting to me.
It was worse when I was alone.
But yet you endured.
I have a mantra.
"They will not break me".
"They will not break me".
They will not break me.
That's it, brother.
You got this.
Sit down.
Sit down.
War is hell, man.
Bravo 4, this is 6.
Can Metal and Brock hold security without you? Affirm.
Great.
Come meet me here at the DCP.
Copy that.
Moving.
What do you guys need? You and Thirty hold security here.
Come on.
Let's talk.
Let's go.
Come here.
Come here, sit down.
Sit down for a second.
Mr.
Nasri really likes you, Faraz.
You know that? He wouldn't have given you an American's watch if he didn't.
So if you know anything, tell me, and I can stop them from what they're doing to your friend in the other room.
He is not my friend.
He's a fool.
Did you smell the food, when we passed the static? Not now.
Let's start here.
You don't like Nasri? You think he's not a true Muslim.
He just, he takes money from your brothers doing the fighting and mocks their cause behind their backs? Yet you're gonna be the one who's enduring the pain and suffering next because you're sitting here protecting him.
It will be an honor to bleed for my brothers.
Think of your son.
It's a real simple question when you think about it.
The right answer will put a stop to all this.
Whatever you do to me, it won't be as bad as what happens if I betray my partners.
Unless you are more like them than I thought.
Being part of the cause is important to you, huh? Supporting your brothers? But you can't contribute the way you'd like.
That right? 'Cause Nasri's holding you back.
I know what it's like to work for someone who doesn't listen to me.
How many times has he overruled you - even though you knew better? - Every day.
It's infuriating.
Being ignored when you know what's best.
No, no Hey.
Come on.
Open them up.
Open them up.
I'm not weak like you.
When Nasri is wrong, I do what's right.
You know, I was wrong before.
You're not gonna have to bleed for your brothers.
- We know that Nasri's the only real player here.
- "Player"? Like, the leader, someone in charge, someone of value.
Not a little clerk like you.
I am a player, too.
Oh, really? Forging passports? You get a watch, he gets the glory from your brothers - for delivering the American.
- If it wasn't for me, my brothers wouldn't have the Americans.
That's right.
That's right, they wouldn't have the American, because you had a better idea than Mr.
Nasri.
But your heroes? They're gonna give him all the credit because he's the boss.
They're never gonna know that you're the real ally here, and they're always just gonna look at you like you're Nasri's little errand boy.
Nasri wanted to move them from here yesterday afternoon.
But too many eyes, so I changed it to El Kantaoui.
I am very good.
- All Bravo elements, this is Bravo 6.
- You will never find them.
Tango on target just informed us that Bravo 2 was transferred from El Kantaoui yesterday afternoon.
I say again, Bravo 2 was transferred from El Kantaoui.
You all right, Jace? - I stopped it in time? - Uh, damnedest thing, man.
He walked right up to the line and stopped himself from crossing it.
That office in there, well, it's a little worse for wear.
Hey.
Good work.
Let's go get Ray.
