SEAL Team (2017) s05e10 Episode Script
Head On
1
Previously on SEAL Team
Put the breach next to that door!
Keep hammering!
CLAY: Did you warn the GIGN
about any EOD hazards
in the building when you told 'em
where to put the wall charge?
There were no EOD hazards
in the building.
Are you sure he's so oblivious to the mistake that he made? CLAY: Could be he smells an ambush.
STELLA: You're not attacking him.
You're trying to help him.
CLAY: Yeah, by telling him his head's so cracked he nearly blew up his own team.
You're a prime candidate for Breacher's Syndrome.
I encourage you to look now, before the effects become disastrous.
Soon as the baby comes, I'm gonna ask to take a family leave from Bravo.
- I think my water just broke.
- Hey, we're gonna get you - to the hospital, okay? - Okay.
Hey, Sonny, why don't you go check in with Hannah - and give our ears a break? - I haven't touched base with her since we spun up.
She doesn't know you're in the hospital? SONNY: Being honest with Hannah is courting disaster.
You publish this paper, you are gonna start a shitstorm that you want no part of.
Is it crazy to think that you and I - could start something? - RAY: I have known Team guys that started nonprofits.
What's wrong? I've just got a lot on my plate right now.
- Okay, so tell me about it.
- It's on me.
I don't want you to have to pay for it.
Maybe we shouldn't book this room for a while.
Yeah.
[GROANS.]
[STEADY BEEPING.]
It's a good sign that they-they lowered the vent settings.
That means his-his lungs are getting stronger.
Shouldn't have to be on a ventilator at all.
You know, if I'd just been around a little more All right, for the hundredth time, you wouldn't have prevented this.
Trained doctors saw no indication that I was at risk for preterm labor.
'Kay? [SCOFFS SOFTLY.]
You needed to be taking it easy.
Instead, you were picking up all my slack after I got spun up and stressing out about me being in the hospital I know that it goes against your frogman nature to believe that anything is beyond your control, but this was.
And the last two weeks have proven to us that he's a fighter, like his father.
Look how quickly he got out from under those French fry lights.
This isn't how I wanted parenthood to start for us.
JASON: You know, you could've just brought me lunch.
Didn't have to make it for me.
EMMA: Figured you could use some of the major food groups that don't involve lard for once.
You're telling me you came all the way down here to lecture me - about my diet? - You don't want to hear it, you should've scheduled yourself an escape to the Sands.
Huh? The Sands at Rehoboth? Time away with Mandy? You are still spending time away with her, yeah? Uh, plate just got a little full, you know? Team got blown up.
- Mm.
- Pop-Pop, uh his priorities, they needed adjusting, too.
Oh, the great protector looks out for everyone but himself.
I hope you're seeing her soon, at least.
[GRUNTS.]
That's why you sounded so down.
What happened to accepting you deserve a full life away from Bravo? No, I'm I'm not down.
I am not down.
Right.
How can you be down when you're filling your hours with brain games? It's fun games.
It's puzzles.
You don't like puzzles? I am good.
This one could have potential.
It used to be a dry cleaner.
[CHUCKLES.]
That is dark, damp and depressing.
The idea is for vets like Sam to feel comfortable so they can get the help they need.
So we'll make it comfortable.
Look, over here, a welcome desk staffed with smiling faces.
And over there - could be the yoga room.
- [SIGHS.]
[EXHALES.]
I guess we could enclose this area here and it'd be a good place for group therapy.
There it is.
Project like this requires optimism and imagination.
Y-Yeah.
Not to mention a lot of money and effort.
I mean, babe, rent, renovations, supplies, staff.
The money Mom gave us from the first responders settlement - is not gonna cover all that.
- Look, I can talk to some fundraising people at the hospital.
I-I know there are ways.
Grants, loans, financial partners.
Look, whatever it takes until your 20-year pension kicks in.
I keep telling you that if Command determines that I was hiding my PTS in Nigeria, I won't even make it to 20.
Well, then it's a good thing you have this as a backup plan.
See? More optimism.
- [CRYING.]
- Oh, come on, munchkin.
This refusal to sleep is not a good look for you.
Okay? Well, she's she's definitely got her daddy's stubborn gene, - that's for sure.
- Mm-hmm.
Never had this issue back home.
This is your home.
Just sleep regression.
Yeah.
Book says it's normal.
Ain't that right? I can't help she sits around watching her mama do nothing all day.
- Kids learn what they live.
- Come on, now.
Thought we were trying to raise a confident girl here.
Yeah.
My role modeling will get better once I get a job.
Who knew a sociology degree and 15 years running a bar wouldn't open up doors to a newcomer in town? You know, uh, I could put a word in at the Bulkhead for you.
[CHUCKLES.]
Lord knows they owe me a favor or two with the fortune that I dropped in there.
Running a bar, that means being on call 24-7.
I'm gonna need a lot of babysitting favors from your friends' wives when you get spun up.
They're up for it.
It's what we do around here.
'Sides, I-I got all our expenses covered.
You know, just take your time and figure out a dream job for that sociology degree.
Yeah.
What do you want to be when you grow up? Huh? What do you want to be? You want to be the first person to walk on Mars? Do ya? Or maybe Daddy's gonna have to reconsider his stance on female SEALs, - if that's what you dreamed of.
- [GIGGLES.]
But you need to sleep before you dream, munchkin.
You hear that? [STEADY BEEPING.]
- I've done this a time or two now.
- [PHONE BUZZING.]
It's hard for me not to - Here, can you grab that? - Sorry.
- Thanks.
- Here.
It's Sonny.
He's just checking on the baby.
You want me to write back for you? Yeah, you can just Wait, there's more, there's more.
The guys are being called in.
You think they're getting spun up? Parental leave means I'm out of the loop.
Well, do you want to You want to go see what's up? No.
Look, I I hate to leave here, even for a second.
Look, neither one of us have had much of a break in the last two weeks, right? You haven't seen the guys since the baby was born.
Maybe you can You know, you'll have a chance to have that talk with Jason, too, so The only upside to baby boy coming early: been forgetting how hard it's gonna be letting my team leader and mentor know that he may no longer be fit to lead.
Uh, best-case scenario, you just catch up with your brothers and, um you can bring me back a vanilla latte.
Be back as soon as possible, - all right? - Okay.
All right.
- You got that? - Yeah, yeah.
Don't overfeed him now.
[SNIFFS.]
Hey.
I won't be gone long, little man, all right? Bye, Tiny.
You know what this is about? - Thought you would.
- Oh.
- [CHATTERING.]
- Afternoon, Captain Morris.
Geez.
The hell was that about? My white paper's making some waves.
Uh, you know, Command's not too happy with my thesis or my arguments or my conclusions.
I mean, I knew that going in, but I just Trouble finds you in this job.
Don't have to go looking for it.
Looks like the, uh, parental leave policy's been canked.
- Look at this, huh? - [CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
Question is, man, how you all holding up? Good, man.
Just, uh, you know, best we can.
Jaundice is gone, and lungs are clearing up, so, you know, clear a new hurdle every few days.
Sounds like things are going in the right direction.
Okay, tell me right now.
Is this where you reveal your baby's name? Honestly, I think we're gonna wait till we can we can hold the little guy before we - Right.
- before we settle on one - that fits him best.
- Yeah.
I'm sorry, but "Percival" - didn't make the cut.
- [LAUGHING.]
Obviously, he doesn't have a big hammer.
- That's actually the, uh - [LAUGHS.]
- favorite of the list.
- All right, listen up.
- Spense, what are you doing here? - [DOOR CLOSES.]
You need me to step out? That's Bravo 6.
Technically, he's on parental leave.
He can stay.
Everyone, this is Keith Kincaid.
He's a lawyer for the Department of Defense.
Uh, does that mean we need to have our lawyers here? Because mine right now is putting his face on a bus stop.
You've been called here today for an Omega operation in South America, ranging from one to six months.
To do what? Details will only be given in-country.
KINCAID: Per Omega, you will operate outside the traditional structures laid out in both Title 10 and Title 50.
That means you're not technically working for the DoD, nor are you technically recognized by the CIA.
ERIC: You will be given complete autonomy to execute the missions involved in the operations.
No oversight, no backstop and, most importantly, no footprint.
KINCAID: For these reasons, this operation is completely voluntary.
ERIC: Should you choose to accept, you will no longer be Bravo Team, nor will you be under the protections of DEVGRU or the DoD.
Life as you know it is going to change.
You will be assigned new identities.
Communications with folks back home will be limited.
In every sense, you will be on your own.
No cavalry, no QRF.
No exceptions.
Hey.
See me in my office after.
Copy that.
CLAY: Title 60's full - of legal landmines.
- [DOOR CLOSES.]
No wonder the DoD sent Perry Mason.
I wish I just had any information about the assignment to help us decide if it was worth the risk of working without a safety net.
Cloak-and-dagger does have its appeal.
I kind of always wanted a secret identity.
No, it's not just secret identities.
I mean, it changes the way we work, with ranks dissolved.
Gonna need to be clear we can all trust each other.
We know you're solid, Ray.
Still, I mean, you know, that-that one-to six-month timeline it's hard enough as it is putting our lives on hold when we know - when we're coming back.
- JASON: Good news is you get to sidestep 'em.
You're staying home.
SONNY: Yeah.
Leaving Leanne behind with so many damn question marks.
It's gonna be tough.
JASON: Is it? Job's easier when we remember there's no choice in duty.
I'm in.
Me, too.
SONNY: I became a SEAL because I wanted to be first into fire, and decision's a hell of a lot easier knowing that Leanne is gonna be there when I get home.
I'm in.
I'm in.
I hope.
Hit the cages, clear out your kits.
Anything that can identify you, leave it behind.
ERIC: Come in! [GRUNTS.]
You wanted to see me, sir? Yeah.
Command finished its review into the report about your behavior last deployment.
Finished? [STAMMERS.]
Without interviewing me? Didn't need to.
Your teammates satisfied Command's concerns.
My teammates were called in? And given instructions not to discuss the matter with you or each other.
Look, for your own peace of mind, I can tell you that the initial report did not come from anyone on Bravo.
Um, so, what, that-that's it? I mean, months of looking over my shoulder, questioning my teammates, myself, f for nothing? Well Command knows that you are fit for duty, and your teammates want to keep operating with you.
I'd call that job security.
Take the win, Ray.
JASON: You're still here? Hey.
What is the You remember that guy's name from, uh from Echo Team? I'm looking for, uh, someone to fill in for you.
Uh, Pete Foley? Nah, that doesn't sound right.
You nicknamed him Axel.
Right.
Axel.
- [SNAPS FINGERS.]
Right.
- Yeah.
Right, right, right, right.
Hey, are you, uh you sure that Bravo should should be doing this Omega? Know you got a lot on your plate.
Let me worry about what's best for Bravo Team, okay? Yeah.
It's just, you know team's been hitting the red pretty hard since came back from, uh from North Korea.
This is voluntary, you know? I mean, everyone's got some stuff worth sticking around for inside the wire.
Yeah.
You most of all.
So, what, are we just supposed to sit back and wait for your calendar to open up? Doesn't work that way.
Maybe I should come.
You know, I mean, with Trent out, Bravo's already down a man.
Not ideal.
Especially if you got your son in the hospital, all right? He's in intensive care.
Trust me, you stay here and you be there for him.
Got it? You'll thank me down the line for that one.
- Copy.
- [EXHALES LOUDLY.]
[DOOR OPENS.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
Yes.
Thank you, Erin.
So helpful.
'Kay, talk soon.
Development officer at work had some ideas on where to get more money for the center.
Command closed the Nigeria inquiry.
I'm clear.
My bird and my pension are out - of the crosshairs, babe.
- Ah! What a relief.
- [GRUNTING.]
- [LAUGHS.]
Things getting ironed out at work change our timeline? Uh, we're spinning up.
That's changing the timeline.
And I don't know how long we're gonna be gone.
Could be six months.
Sounds more like a deployment than a spin-up.
Yeah.
Uh, we might have to hit the pause button on our project while I'm gone.
Figure out if we're biting off more than we can chew.
Okay, well, at least you can have some time to decide if this side hustle was a passion project or a distraction from problems at work.
- STELLA: Stop it.
- ASH: That - You got to do it - Stop telling me.
- Stop.
No.
- the other way.
- [LAUGHS.]
Uh-oh.
- Yay.
- [CHUCKLES.]
: Oh.
- Just in time.
Something for me to wash this down with.
I'm just glad you're eating.
The nurse said that you're gonna forget - because of all the stress.
- Yeah.
Hey.
You should have some chicken.
Yeah.
I will.
So what's the word? Bravo's getting deployed for up to six months.
Deep-cover special task force.
Sounds intense.
CLAY: Yeah.
I didn't get the chance to start that conversation with Jason.
Okay, well, when are they leaving? - Tomorrow.
- Well, then you still have time to try and make him see the light.
Well, can you, um, actually give me an hour before you try again? 'Cause I don't remember the last time I showered, and I kind of [WHISPERS.]
: You're starting to get - a little smelly.
- [LAUGHING.]
Oh, wait, are you gonna Are you guys gonna be okay unsupervised? Are you kidding me? I will force him to eat.
Great.
What's going on with Jason? Uh [INHALES DEEPLY.]
I need to read him in on something that [EXHALES.]
could force him to step aside or cost him his bird.
Mm-hmm.
Operator like him would rather go out on his shield than take himself off the battlefield.
You starting messing with his livelihood, who knows how he'll react? Yeah, I know.
But don't I owe it to him and-and my teammates to speak up if I know there's a problem? [CHUCKLES.]
What are you gonna do when he doesn't listen? You gonna run to Command? You don't want to end up like me, son, get PNG'd.
Jason's gonna do what he wants to do, regardless of your input.
Whether you confront him or go behind his back, be careful.
It's just gonna blow up in your face.
Hey, hey.
[CHUCKLES.]
Is Leanne boycotting her naps again? Man, she's like the Jimmy Carter of babies.
[WHISPERS.]
: She just dozed off.
- Mama's got that sway down.
- Yeah.
How 'bout we get some Mommy and Daddy time tonight? Just use these hips for dancing instead of sleeping.
You think Brock's avail? Uh I'm afraid not.
We're getting spun up for a bit.
How long's "a bit"? I don't know.
A month.
Six months.
Six months? Yeah.
I mean, how-how you think I feel? You know? Think of all the Leanne milestones I'm gonna miss.
Okay.
Well, maybe I'll just I'll take her back to Texas while you're gone.
[CHUCKLES.]
Why do I got to keep reminding you that this is your home? You go to Texas, what's gonna stop you from never coming back? [LAUGHING.]
Do you hear yourself right now? - What? - It sounds like we're your prisoners and not your family.
Shows how fragile our situation is.
What does that mean? I mean We both love our little girl, and we want to do what's best for her, but maybe we're just playing house for her sake.
You serious? I mean, th-this feels - real to me.
I mean - Does it? I saw you when we had drinks with Davis.
The spark's still alive - between you two.
- Hey.
Come on.
I-I've told you, okay, it's-it's over between Davis and I.
Uh It's all about you and Leanne now.
That may be true.
But not telling me you were in a hospital overseas? That's not the sign of a healthy relationship.
Okay, well, we've hit a rough patch, then.
All right? I'll I will I'll stay home from the op and I will just 100% focus on us.
That's got to help, right? If there were no Leanne, would you be gripping so hard right now? Do you even think you're in love with me? I want to be.
And I want to be in love with you.
But Leanne deserves better than just a family playing make-believe.
And you and I do, too.
What are you saying right now? I think Leanne and I should move home.
- And how long will you be gone? - I don't know.
And how do I get in touch with you? Uh, like I always got in touch with you, all right? I'll get in touch with you, you don't get in touch with me.
You know the drill.
Okay? And do not make any major life decisions before I'm back, you got it? Really? That's the last thing you want to say to me before you go? Hmm.
Yeah, well, 'cause I mean it.
You have to let this go.
You and Mom were married by the time you were my age.
Your mom sacrificed a lot for me so I could be with the teams.
All right? Now with Brad heading off to BUD/S, that puts you on the same path.
It doesn't have to.
Look this war's not going anywhere, you understand? All right? It's only breaking the people that fight it and, sadly, breaking the people who love them.
You make Mom sound like some tragic victim.
Your mom suffered because of me.
- All right? - What's that mean? [EXHALES.]
Visits from Grandma Linda and Pop-Pop swooping in like Mary Poppins when I was gone, does that ring a bell? Mom was one of the strongest people I've ever known.
She didn't back down from challenges, and she knew when to ask for help.
You know what, if Brad wants to end up busted and full of regrets, that's fine, just don't make the same mistakes.
I'm not Mom, but more importantly, Brad is not you.
What's that supposed to mean? You were so close, Dad, to the life you deserve.
Breaks my heart seeing you retreat back into your miserable three-foot world.
You know what, don't worry about reaching out while you're gone.
Fine, I won't.
[MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY.]
Hi, baby.
Thank you for that.
CLAY: He's so helpless.
Well, we're doing everything we can to protect him.
Wish everything was so black and white.
Are you still trying to figure out how to talk to Jason? Confronting him on the eve of deploying would just mess with his head even more, put Bravo more at risk.
I just have to, you know, trust that he'll go on the op, the team will be okay.
There's no way that you're comfortable with that scenario.
You're thinking about going with them.
You would be there to protect him, protect your brothers? If I go, I-I can't confront him down there.
I mean, I-I would just be his backstop, try and keep the team safe.
But I can't leave you and our unnamed baby just here in the NICU behind.
I mean, after-after I promised I would never abandon you again.
Look, I'll-I'll do whatever you want, all right? [CHUCKLES.]
Come on, you know you're not actually giving me a choice, right? I mean, if I tell you to stay home and something happens to them, would you ever forgive me? Would you forgive yourself? So you think I should go? I think that I would give anything to not have the-the two most important people in my life in harm's way at the same time.
But I also think [SIGHS.]
I also think that, without you, Bravo will have no safety net and Jason will have no backstop.
Whatever you do, it has to be your choice.
Grant, hey, it's me.
Again.
Ah Um, look, I know you have a crazy day today.
I just really didn't want to leave this over your voice mail.
I have to go out of town for work.
Um, I hate going, since we're in such a good groove, but I don't have a choice.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
So, um, look, I guess I'll ju I'm gonna try you again later.
Okay.
Sir.
Just wanted to say that I am so excited about, you know, - being a part of Omega Team.
- Mm.
I know that this is a privilege for me to be included, - and I'm grateful.
- Well, it is a privilege, one that not everyone on Command felt you merited.
- Because of my paper? - Yeah.
I argued that you're more than qualified, and sending you with Bravo makes the most tactical sense.
Whether they agreed with me or saw this as an opportunity to send you into a hole for a few months is unclear.
I see.
Is there a reason why you're reading me in on these details now? I warned you about that paper.
The damage to your career has begun.
It's on you to figure out how to control it.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
We Chase misprinted lies We Face the path of time And yet I fight, and yet I fight This battle all alone No one to cry to No place to call home Ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh And yet I find, and yet I find Repeating in my head If I can't be my own I'd feel better dead.
[BEEPING.]
Huh.
It's low energy from the two guys who normally can't wait to get outside the wire to kick doors.
Just focused up is all.
You know the drill.
SONNY: I'm happy to just have Vah Beach in my rearview mirror.
Even though I am flying commercial.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh, Omega op protocol, man.
Staggered commercial flights keeps us clean.
JASON: Brock should've landed in, uh, Riohacha by now.
Should be connected with our contacts.
Brock all alone in Colombia, huh? What could possibly go wrong? What the hell are you doing here? Thought I told you we don't need you for this one.
- All in all the time.
- SONNY: What, you're deploying while your kid's in the hospital? Look, man, the doctor can do more for my kid right now than I can.
No room for the home front on an Omega.
I need all my guys dialed in.
My focus is on Bravo.
My flight's next.
See you all in-country.
Hey, Clay, we chose rooms already.
Thought we should stick you with Sonny.
Yeah, you know, we thought you needed a little practice losing sleep to a gassy, whiny kid.
- That's cute.
- [DAVIS CHUCKLES.]
Bravo Team, welcome to Colombia.
Ops Officer Smith, Jason Hayes.
- Yes, sir.
- Blackburn says hi.
Served with your XO before I moved to the Agency.
He speaks highly of your team's abilities, which will be put to the test while you're down here.
Well, hopefully that, uh, RadioShack keypad isn't put to the test protecting this safe house.
This residence is not intended to be a stronghold.
While you'll need to maintain cover here in Riohacha, it is a permissive environment.
Your operations will be over the border.
- Venezuela.
- [RAY GROANS.]
I take it you've worked there? Oh, yeah, we, uh, spent a decade there one week.
Just hope our digs don't come under siege this time.
I'll be on call to support you over the course of the Omega.
Welcome bags have secure cell phones, pistols and new IDs for each of you.
Armory's through that door.
All indig weapons to maintain cover.
If you don't see what you need, I've got guys who can get it.
Only thing missing is any clue what we're doing down here.
After Bravo Team's rescue of Dr.
Jin from North Korea, he's proven to be a critical source for the Agency in our efforts to monitor nuclear armament worldwide.
Right this way.
One of Dr.
Jin's students is this man, Dr.
Francisco Guillen, a Venezuelan national.
Since leaving his training in North Korea, intel says Dr.
Guillen is developing a Venezuelan nuclear weapons program.
So we got a volatile state in our hemisphere getting nukes? That is the stuff of Cold War nightmares.
We're here to take him out? SMITH: This Omega's strategic mission is dismantling the Venezuelan nuclear weapons program.
All indications are that a capture/kill of Guillen will strike a fatal blow to it.
You got a lot of legwork on this wallpaper.
I mean, did you have a team running CTR on Guillen? Ground Branch tracked him for weeks where he resides in Maracaibo, establishing pattern of life.
CLAY: I imagine the Venezuelans keep a pretty tight watch on the guy who could single-handedly promote them to global threat.
On the rare occasion when he emerges from his gilded cage where he's kept, Guillen is shadowed by a constant security detail.
We'll get him.
SMITH: Challenge is in neutralizing him while leaving no trace.
I'll let you get to it.
JASON: Tomorrow we take this guy out.
Davis, how long is it gonna take you to install the vehicle-hacking software? Matter of seconds for a stationary vehicle.
The signal routes through the Bluetooth on the HVT's cell phone into the car's computer, so he and the driver will have no clue.
Based on the pattern of life, Guillen will make his weekly trip to this restaurant right here.
And after dinner, he'll come back to his car, he'll head back home across that bridge.
SONNY: And then we'll play a massive game of Grand Theft Auto.
DAVIS: We'll have total control over the target vehicle's acceleration, the brakes, the steering.
We'll drive him right off the bridge.
- "Look, a tragic accident".
- And the Venezuelans' atomic plans will go "Hasta la vista, baby".
Yeah, we hope.
What do you mean, you hope? I mean, what if there's more to the-the nuclear program than Guillen? Right? More that he could shine a light on.
RAY: Mm.
Clay's right.
Guillen could provide priceless intel.
We're here to dismantle their whole program, not just one man.
Capture may be the better option.
No, this isn't an option.
SONNY: If Guillen vanishes, the Venezuelan program is gonna go so deep, you may never get a shot at it again.
Yeah, so we-we grab Guillen without them ever knowing he's gone.
Your plan still works, we just add one element.
- Pixie dust? - Divers.
RAY: A dive team could wait under the bridge and pull Guillen from the wreckage while he's still alive.
You're telling me that no one's gonna suspect that the driver's missing when they dredge up the car? It could've washed out with the tide.
This is not Dr.
Jin, looking to defect.
I'm gonna have to agree.
I mean, everything on the wall says this guy's a true believer.
JASON: That's right.
You know, he won't cooperate.
Not worth the risk.
No ranks in Omega.
We all get a say.
There's only one person in this room who can make a call like this, and it's not Bravo 6.
Hey, why don't we take five minutes, man? Come on, man.
Look, you said your piece.
We both know Jason's not gonna back down.
Uh, makes him stubborn, not right.
You and I aren't the only ones seeing that capture's the smarter play here.
Let's put it to vote.
Clay, it may be no ranks down here, but what happens when we get back home and it's back to Bravo as usual? How's that go? What happens in Venezuela will not stay in Venezuela.
You'd rather lose a chance at critical intel - than step on Jason's toes? - That capture plan is not a sure thing.
It goes sideways, we blow this whole op before it even starts.
Now, if you want to put it to a vote, my vote is to not start Bravo Civil War on day one.
Come on.
Let's go knock this thing down.
Hey, slow your roll, Sonny.
Yeah, I already prepped all that stuff, man, you're screwing it up.
Look, just because you didn't get your way with the op plan doesn't mean you need to micromanage me, okay? Them NICU doctors, they probably got sick and tired of you standing over their shoulder, telling 'em what to do, so they sent you packing, huh? Look, I'm here because I have a responsibility to this team.
[CHUCKLES.]
You really think your shit don't stink, don't you? Hmm? God, what would happen to us if Bravo 6 wasn't here to save us all? Hey.
Roll out in five, two vehicles.
Davis, you're with me, to deploy the software.
Gonna be in the middle of the action again.
I'm ready.
CLAY: Hey, Davis, I can, uh, I can be in there with you and help you run whatever tech.
Uh, Jace, you got your favorite back seat driver.
Hey, fuck off, Sonny.
- Hey, hey.
Settle down, man.
- Whoa, whoa.
Hey.
Clay, Sonny, ride together.
The rest of you with me.
[BIRDS CHIRPING.]
I got to relieve myself after that four-hour drive.
Guess this should work.
Are you serious, man? Haven't you heard? Everything's bigger in Texas.
Yeah, okay.
Oh.
Dr.
Guillen looks like he's living pretty large.
Sure he's got a few bathrooms in there.
CLAY: Well, man knows how to kill a half a million people with an atom.
Makes sense they'd want to keep him comfy.
SONNY: Well, hope he enjoyed it.
'Cause he's getting in his coffin.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
Target vehicle is moving.
JASON: That's good copy.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
Stick close.
HVT's vehicle is approaching your pos.
It's connecting.
[MEN SPEAKING SPANISH.]
- [COMPUTER BEEPS.]
- Upload complete.
Let me test it.
Looks good.
Target upload's complete.
Sonny, seriously? It's a bottle.
1, this is 6.
Target vehicle still hasn't moved.
JASON: Copy.
Keep eyes on.
Once HVT is back on road, RTB.
Hey, you want us to stick around here, - hang tight and back you up? - Negative.
You will RTB.
[SNIFFLES.]
All the variables on this one, I don't know why he doesn't want us to stay close.
Back seat driving from another car.
All right.
Magnificent.
Look, man, I just want to get home to my kid.
Okay, the quicker that we dismantle this program, the quicker we get back to our families.
Look, I refuse to take family advice from a guy who blew town while his kid's still in the hospital.
Look, man, I-I think you seem to forget that you left your family behind, too.
I ain't got no family to forget.
What does that mean? Leanne was ripped away from me right before we, uh, spun up.
Hannah decided to take her back to Texas.
Sonny, I'm sorry, man.
Spare me your pity.
1, this is 6.
Target vehicle's on the move.
- JASON: Copy, 6.
- [ENGINE STARTS.]
JASON: Who are these guys? Briefcases say business.
Ray, you're gonna want to ID them.
On it.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING.]
Look at the way Guillen's kissing their asses.
Must be VIPs.
Want Team 1 to follow? Not worth the risk of exposure.
We'll run their pictures through the Agency database for ID.
- 3, RTB.
- CLAY: Are you sure - you don't need more eyes? - Negative.
RTB now.
[WOMAN SHOUTING.]
What is this? Looks like Guillen must have a hard time hearing no.
Jesus.
They're putting a civilian in the car.
There's no way we're gonna crash it now.
[SHOUTING.]
Hey, what are you doing? - [SCREAMS.]
- [PEOPLE SHOUTING.]
[TIRES SCREECHING.]
- JASON: Let's go.
- Eh, so much for zero footprint.
Stay on them.
Move! [TIRES SCREECHING.]
He's changing routes.
Shots spooked them.
[TIRES SCREECHING.]
That truck's VSP.
Death squad we locked horns with - the last time we were here.
- Yeah, the two-inch scar - on my scalp remembers.
- RAY: We got to cut bait.
He'll be at the restaurant same time next week.
No, if they're scared enough to call in the VSP, they're gonna change up their pattern and Guillen's gonna vanish.
We won't have another chance.
VSP attached itself to HVT.
Waiting for them to drop off before we make our move on the target car.
Yeah, copy, 2.
We're turning around to assist.
Clay wants to provide support.
No, we do not need another vehicle drawing attention.
Will you call him off? We're managing, 6.
Continue to RTB.
We got to turn around.
Did you got your wires crossed in your comms there? You heard him say no.
I heard "VSP".
All right? Op's already sideways, and now there's killers in the mix.
[TIRES SCREECHING.]
Team 2, we're heading your direction to remove the HVT's security escort.
RAY: Our chance is slipping away, Jace.
If he's got an idea, let's hear it.
- CLAY: Here they come.
- [ENGINES APPROACHING.]
I got eyes on the target vehicle and VSP security escort.
You got one shot at this.
Got to make them think it's a blowout.
[TIRES SCREECHING.]
[MEN SPEAKING SPANISH.]
JASON: Okay, just take it easy.
Slow down.
All right? Stay back.
They don't buy that's a flat tire, they're gonna go shields up right here.
Go.
Go.
We're less than two klicks from Guillen's house.
Window's closing fast.
Uh, we need to pick our spot.
T intersection up ahead, he'll have to go left or right.
Brock, get closer to him, will you? JASON: It's now or never.
Davis, take control.
[ENGINE REVS.]
Guess a deployment beer doesn't taste as sweet when there's no general order prohibiting it.
Uh, deployment beer tastes so much better when you get a fire.
We should, uh, see what we can grab from down here and torch up on the roof.
RAY [CHUCKLES.]
: Oh, yeah, a rooftop inferno is gonna do wonders for our cover.
Drew enough attention to ourselves on that op, I mean, it can't hurt.
What, do you got a problem with that execution? RAY: Look, it wasn't as slick as we planned, but we got it done.
Guillen is erased.
Hey, the two guys we saw with Guillen? FRS just identified them as Ephraim Zaid and Arman Soroush.
Iranian nationals.
RAY: Iranians? They're no strangers to the nuclear game.
You think they're involved down here? Zaid and Soroush are top-tier leadership in the Iranian nuclear program.
They wouldn't waste their time on some pipe dream.
If they're here, the Venezuelan program is real.
Except for the local Dr.
Strangelove that ate the engine block.
Ask him how real it is now.
CLAY: Be nice if we could.
Maybe capturing him wasn't such a terrible idea.
Jace! - Hey.
- [METALLIC THUD.]
This whole "no ranks" bullshit, it stops right now.
You questioning my orders earlier, then you just taking a run at me right now in front of my team? You're looking for some kind of measuring contest, guess what, buddy, you're gonna lose.
- That's not what I'm doing.
- Then what exactly - are you doing? - I'm keeping this team safe.
That's my job.
I don't need your help, 6.
You know, it's one thing for an operator to go outside the wire and miss the birth of his child, but to go outside of the wire when your child is in the NICU? Your son is fighting for his life, and all you care about is your ego? Look, I am here protecting Bravo from you, okay? Your head is not right, and it hasn't been for months.
Interesting.
Huh, that's your fucking play? Stick me with TBI so you have a clear path to being Bravo 1? You being compromised is dangerous for everyone.
You want to know what's fucking dangerous? Huh? You threatening your team leader.
So you better think long and hard, right, about what you're gonna say and do next, 'cause the next time it's not gonna be a fucking warning.
Are you sure he's so oblivious to the mistake that he made? CLAY: Could be he smells an ambush.
STELLA: You're not attacking him.
You're trying to help him.
CLAY: Yeah, by telling him his head's so cracked he nearly blew up his own team.
You're a prime candidate for Breacher's Syndrome.
I encourage you to look now, before the effects become disastrous.
Soon as the baby comes, I'm gonna ask to take a family leave from Bravo.
- I think my water just broke.
- Hey, we're gonna get you - to the hospital, okay? - Okay.
Hey, Sonny, why don't you go check in with Hannah - and give our ears a break? - I haven't touched base with her since we spun up.
She doesn't know you're in the hospital? SONNY: Being honest with Hannah is courting disaster.
You publish this paper, you are gonna start a shitstorm that you want no part of.
Is it crazy to think that you and I - could start something? - RAY: I have known Team guys that started nonprofits.
What's wrong? I've just got a lot on my plate right now.
- Okay, so tell me about it.
- It's on me.
I don't want you to have to pay for it.
Maybe we shouldn't book this room for a while.
Yeah.
[GROANS.]
[STEADY BEEPING.]
It's a good sign that they-they lowered the vent settings.
That means his-his lungs are getting stronger.
Shouldn't have to be on a ventilator at all.
You know, if I'd just been around a little more All right, for the hundredth time, you wouldn't have prevented this.
Trained doctors saw no indication that I was at risk for preterm labor.
'Kay? [SCOFFS SOFTLY.]
You needed to be taking it easy.
Instead, you were picking up all my slack after I got spun up and stressing out about me being in the hospital I know that it goes against your frogman nature to believe that anything is beyond your control, but this was.
And the last two weeks have proven to us that he's a fighter, like his father.
Look how quickly he got out from under those French fry lights.
This isn't how I wanted parenthood to start for us.
JASON: You know, you could've just brought me lunch.
Didn't have to make it for me.
EMMA: Figured you could use some of the major food groups that don't involve lard for once.
You're telling me you came all the way down here to lecture me - about my diet? - You don't want to hear it, you should've scheduled yourself an escape to the Sands.
Huh? The Sands at Rehoboth? Time away with Mandy? You are still spending time away with her, yeah? Uh, plate just got a little full, you know? Team got blown up.
- Mm.
- Pop-Pop, uh his priorities, they needed adjusting, too.
Oh, the great protector looks out for everyone but himself.
I hope you're seeing her soon, at least.
[GRUNTS.]
That's why you sounded so down.
What happened to accepting you deserve a full life away from Bravo? No, I'm I'm not down.
I am not down.
Right.
How can you be down when you're filling your hours with brain games? It's fun games.
It's puzzles.
You don't like puzzles? I am good.
This one could have potential.
It used to be a dry cleaner.
[CHUCKLES.]
That is dark, damp and depressing.
The idea is for vets like Sam to feel comfortable so they can get the help they need.
So we'll make it comfortable.
Look, over here, a welcome desk staffed with smiling faces.
And over there - could be the yoga room.
- [SIGHS.]
[EXHALES.]
I guess we could enclose this area here and it'd be a good place for group therapy.
There it is.
Project like this requires optimism and imagination.
Y-Yeah.
Not to mention a lot of money and effort.
I mean, babe, rent, renovations, supplies, staff.
The money Mom gave us from the first responders settlement - is not gonna cover all that.
- Look, I can talk to some fundraising people at the hospital.
I-I know there are ways.
Grants, loans, financial partners.
Look, whatever it takes until your 20-year pension kicks in.
I keep telling you that if Command determines that I was hiding my PTS in Nigeria, I won't even make it to 20.
Well, then it's a good thing you have this as a backup plan.
See? More optimism.
- [CRYING.]
- Oh, come on, munchkin.
This refusal to sleep is not a good look for you.
Okay? Well, she's she's definitely got her daddy's stubborn gene, - that's for sure.
- Mm-hmm.
Never had this issue back home.
This is your home.
Just sleep regression.
Yeah.
Book says it's normal.
Ain't that right? I can't help she sits around watching her mama do nothing all day.
- Kids learn what they live.
- Come on, now.
Thought we were trying to raise a confident girl here.
Yeah.
My role modeling will get better once I get a job.
Who knew a sociology degree and 15 years running a bar wouldn't open up doors to a newcomer in town? You know, uh, I could put a word in at the Bulkhead for you.
[CHUCKLES.]
Lord knows they owe me a favor or two with the fortune that I dropped in there.
Running a bar, that means being on call 24-7.
I'm gonna need a lot of babysitting favors from your friends' wives when you get spun up.
They're up for it.
It's what we do around here.
'Sides, I-I got all our expenses covered.
You know, just take your time and figure out a dream job for that sociology degree.
Yeah.
What do you want to be when you grow up? Huh? What do you want to be? You want to be the first person to walk on Mars? Do ya? Or maybe Daddy's gonna have to reconsider his stance on female SEALs, - if that's what you dreamed of.
- [GIGGLES.]
But you need to sleep before you dream, munchkin.
You hear that? [STEADY BEEPING.]
- I've done this a time or two now.
- [PHONE BUZZING.]
It's hard for me not to - Here, can you grab that? - Sorry.
- Thanks.
- Here.
It's Sonny.
He's just checking on the baby.
You want me to write back for you? Yeah, you can just Wait, there's more, there's more.
The guys are being called in.
You think they're getting spun up? Parental leave means I'm out of the loop.
Well, do you want to You want to go see what's up? No.
Look, I I hate to leave here, even for a second.
Look, neither one of us have had much of a break in the last two weeks, right? You haven't seen the guys since the baby was born.
Maybe you can You know, you'll have a chance to have that talk with Jason, too, so The only upside to baby boy coming early: been forgetting how hard it's gonna be letting my team leader and mentor know that he may no longer be fit to lead.
Uh, best-case scenario, you just catch up with your brothers and, um you can bring me back a vanilla latte.
Be back as soon as possible, - all right? - Okay.
All right.
- You got that? - Yeah, yeah.
Don't overfeed him now.
[SNIFFS.]
Hey.
I won't be gone long, little man, all right? Bye, Tiny.
You know what this is about? - Thought you would.
- Oh.
- [CHATTERING.]
- Afternoon, Captain Morris.
Geez.
The hell was that about? My white paper's making some waves.
Uh, you know, Command's not too happy with my thesis or my arguments or my conclusions.
I mean, I knew that going in, but I just Trouble finds you in this job.
Don't have to go looking for it.
Looks like the, uh, parental leave policy's been canked.
- Look at this, huh? - [CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
Question is, man, how you all holding up? Good, man.
Just, uh, you know, best we can.
Jaundice is gone, and lungs are clearing up, so, you know, clear a new hurdle every few days.
Sounds like things are going in the right direction.
Okay, tell me right now.
Is this where you reveal your baby's name? Honestly, I think we're gonna wait till we can we can hold the little guy before we - Right.
- before we settle on one - that fits him best.
- Yeah.
I'm sorry, but "Percival" - didn't make the cut.
- [LAUGHING.]
Obviously, he doesn't have a big hammer.
- That's actually the, uh - [LAUGHS.]
- favorite of the list.
- All right, listen up.
- Spense, what are you doing here? - [DOOR CLOSES.]
You need me to step out? That's Bravo 6.
Technically, he's on parental leave.
He can stay.
Everyone, this is Keith Kincaid.
He's a lawyer for the Department of Defense.
Uh, does that mean we need to have our lawyers here? Because mine right now is putting his face on a bus stop.
You've been called here today for an Omega operation in South America, ranging from one to six months.
To do what? Details will only be given in-country.
KINCAID: Per Omega, you will operate outside the traditional structures laid out in both Title 10 and Title 50.
That means you're not technically working for the DoD, nor are you technically recognized by the CIA.
ERIC: You will be given complete autonomy to execute the missions involved in the operations.
No oversight, no backstop and, most importantly, no footprint.
KINCAID: For these reasons, this operation is completely voluntary.
ERIC: Should you choose to accept, you will no longer be Bravo Team, nor will you be under the protections of DEVGRU or the DoD.
Life as you know it is going to change.
You will be assigned new identities.
Communications with folks back home will be limited.
In every sense, you will be on your own.
No cavalry, no QRF.
No exceptions.
Hey.
See me in my office after.
Copy that.
CLAY: Title 60's full - of legal landmines.
- [DOOR CLOSES.]
No wonder the DoD sent Perry Mason.
I wish I just had any information about the assignment to help us decide if it was worth the risk of working without a safety net.
Cloak-and-dagger does have its appeal.
I kind of always wanted a secret identity.
No, it's not just secret identities.
I mean, it changes the way we work, with ranks dissolved.
Gonna need to be clear we can all trust each other.
We know you're solid, Ray.
Still, I mean, you know, that-that one-to six-month timeline it's hard enough as it is putting our lives on hold when we know - when we're coming back.
- JASON: Good news is you get to sidestep 'em.
You're staying home.
SONNY: Yeah.
Leaving Leanne behind with so many damn question marks.
It's gonna be tough.
JASON: Is it? Job's easier when we remember there's no choice in duty.
I'm in.
Me, too.
SONNY: I became a SEAL because I wanted to be first into fire, and decision's a hell of a lot easier knowing that Leanne is gonna be there when I get home.
I'm in.
I'm in.
I hope.
Hit the cages, clear out your kits.
Anything that can identify you, leave it behind.
ERIC: Come in! [GRUNTS.]
You wanted to see me, sir? Yeah.
Command finished its review into the report about your behavior last deployment.
Finished? [STAMMERS.]
Without interviewing me? Didn't need to.
Your teammates satisfied Command's concerns.
My teammates were called in? And given instructions not to discuss the matter with you or each other.
Look, for your own peace of mind, I can tell you that the initial report did not come from anyone on Bravo.
Um, so, what, that-that's it? I mean, months of looking over my shoulder, questioning my teammates, myself, f for nothing? Well Command knows that you are fit for duty, and your teammates want to keep operating with you.
I'd call that job security.
Take the win, Ray.
JASON: You're still here? Hey.
What is the You remember that guy's name from, uh from Echo Team? I'm looking for, uh, someone to fill in for you.
Uh, Pete Foley? Nah, that doesn't sound right.
You nicknamed him Axel.
Right.
Axel.
- [SNAPS FINGERS.]
Right.
- Yeah.
Right, right, right, right.
Hey, are you, uh you sure that Bravo should should be doing this Omega? Know you got a lot on your plate.
Let me worry about what's best for Bravo Team, okay? Yeah.
It's just, you know team's been hitting the red pretty hard since came back from, uh from North Korea.
This is voluntary, you know? I mean, everyone's got some stuff worth sticking around for inside the wire.
Yeah.
You most of all.
So, what, are we just supposed to sit back and wait for your calendar to open up? Doesn't work that way.
Maybe I should come.
You know, I mean, with Trent out, Bravo's already down a man.
Not ideal.
Especially if you got your son in the hospital, all right? He's in intensive care.
Trust me, you stay here and you be there for him.
Got it? You'll thank me down the line for that one.
- Copy.
- [EXHALES LOUDLY.]
[DOOR OPENS.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
Yes.
Thank you, Erin.
So helpful.
'Kay, talk soon.
Development officer at work had some ideas on where to get more money for the center.
Command closed the Nigeria inquiry.
I'm clear.
My bird and my pension are out - of the crosshairs, babe.
- Ah! What a relief.
- [GRUNTING.]
- [LAUGHS.]
Things getting ironed out at work change our timeline? Uh, we're spinning up.
That's changing the timeline.
And I don't know how long we're gonna be gone.
Could be six months.
Sounds more like a deployment than a spin-up.
Yeah.
Uh, we might have to hit the pause button on our project while I'm gone.
Figure out if we're biting off more than we can chew.
Okay, well, at least you can have some time to decide if this side hustle was a passion project or a distraction from problems at work.
- STELLA: Stop it.
- ASH: That - You got to do it - Stop telling me.
- Stop.
No.
- the other way.
- [LAUGHS.]
Uh-oh.
- Yay.
- [CHUCKLES.]
: Oh.
- Just in time.
Something for me to wash this down with.
I'm just glad you're eating.
The nurse said that you're gonna forget - because of all the stress.
- Yeah.
Hey.
You should have some chicken.
Yeah.
I will.
So what's the word? Bravo's getting deployed for up to six months.
Deep-cover special task force.
Sounds intense.
CLAY: Yeah.
I didn't get the chance to start that conversation with Jason.
Okay, well, when are they leaving? - Tomorrow.
- Well, then you still have time to try and make him see the light.
Well, can you, um, actually give me an hour before you try again? 'Cause I don't remember the last time I showered, and I kind of [WHISPERS.]
: You're starting to get - a little smelly.
- [LAUGHING.]
Oh, wait, are you gonna Are you guys gonna be okay unsupervised? Are you kidding me? I will force him to eat.
Great.
What's going on with Jason? Uh [INHALES DEEPLY.]
I need to read him in on something that [EXHALES.]
could force him to step aside or cost him his bird.
Mm-hmm.
Operator like him would rather go out on his shield than take himself off the battlefield.
You starting messing with his livelihood, who knows how he'll react? Yeah, I know.
But don't I owe it to him and-and my teammates to speak up if I know there's a problem? [CHUCKLES.]
What are you gonna do when he doesn't listen? You gonna run to Command? You don't want to end up like me, son, get PNG'd.
Jason's gonna do what he wants to do, regardless of your input.
Whether you confront him or go behind his back, be careful.
It's just gonna blow up in your face.
Hey, hey.
[CHUCKLES.]
Is Leanne boycotting her naps again? Man, she's like the Jimmy Carter of babies.
[WHISPERS.]
: She just dozed off.
- Mama's got that sway down.
- Yeah.
How 'bout we get some Mommy and Daddy time tonight? Just use these hips for dancing instead of sleeping.
You think Brock's avail? Uh I'm afraid not.
We're getting spun up for a bit.
How long's "a bit"? I don't know.
A month.
Six months.
Six months? Yeah.
I mean, how-how you think I feel? You know? Think of all the Leanne milestones I'm gonna miss.
Okay.
Well, maybe I'll just I'll take her back to Texas while you're gone.
[CHUCKLES.]
Why do I got to keep reminding you that this is your home? You go to Texas, what's gonna stop you from never coming back? [LAUGHING.]
Do you hear yourself right now? - What? - It sounds like we're your prisoners and not your family.
Shows how fragile our situation is.
What does that mean? I mean We both love our little girl, and we want to do what's best for her, but maybe we're just playing house for her sake.
You serious? I mean, th-this feels - real to me.
I mean - Does it? I saw you when we had drinks with Davis.
The spark's still alive - between you two.
- Hey.
Come on.
I-I've told you, okay, it's-it's over between Davis and I.
Uh It's all about you and Leanne now.
That may be true.
But not telling me you were in a hospital overseas? That's not the sign of a healthy relationship.
Okay, well, we've hit a rough patch, then.
All right? I'll I will I'll stay home from the op and I will just 100% focus on us.
That's got to help, right? If there were no Leanne, would you be gripping so hard right now? Do you even think you're in love with me? I want to be.
And I want to be in love with you.
But Leanne deserves better than just a family playing make-believe.
And you and I do, too.
What are you saying right now? I think Leanne and I should move home.
- And how long will you be gone? - I don't know.
And how do I get in touch with you? Uh, like I always got in touch with you, all right? I'll get in touch with you, you don't get in touch with me.
You know the drill.
Okay? And do not make any major life decisions before I'm back, you got it? Really? That's the last thing you want to say to me before you go? Hmm.
Yeah, well, 'cause I mean it.
You have to let this go.
You and Mom were married by the time you were my age.
Your mom sacrificed a lot for me so I could be with the teams.
All right? Now with Brad heading off to BUD/S, that puts you on the same path.
It doesn't have to.
Look this war's not going anywhere, you understand? All right? It's only breaking the people that fight it and, sadly, breaking the people who love them.
You make Mom sound like some tragic victim.
Your mom suffered because of me.
- All right? - What's that mean? [EXHALES.]
Visits from Grandma Linda and Pop-Pop swooping in like Mary Poppins when I was gone, does that ring a bell? Mom was one of the strongest people I've ever known.
She didn't back down from challenges, and she knew when to ask for help.
You know what, if Brad wants to end up busted and full of regrets, that's fine, just don't make the same mistakes.
I'm not Mom, but more importantly, Brad is not you.
What's that supposed to mean? You were so close, Dad, to the life you deserve.
Breaks my heart seeing you retreat back into your miserable three-foot world.
You know what, don't worry about reaching out while you're gone.
Fine, I won't.
[MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY.]
Hi, baby.
Thank you for that.
CLAY: He's so helpless.
Well, we're doing everything we can to protect him.
Wish everything was so black and white.
Are you still trying to figure out how to talk to Jason? Confronting him on the eve of deploying would just mess with his head even more, put Bravo more at risk.
I just have to, you know, trust that he'll go on the op, the team will be okay.
There's no way that you're comfortable with that scenario.
You're thinking about going with them.
You would be there to protect him, protect your brothers? If I go, I-I can't confront him down there.
I mean, I-I would just be his backstop, try and keep the team safe.
But I can't leave you and our unnamed baby just here in the NICU behind.
I mean, after-after I promised I would never abandon you again.
Look, I'll-I'll do whatever you want, all right? [CHUCKLES.]
Come on, you know you're not actually giving me a choice, right? I mean, if I tell you to stay home and something happens to them, would you ever forgive me? Would you forgive yourself? So you think I should go? I think that I would give anything to not have the-the two most important people in my life in harm's way at the same time.
But I also think [SIGHS.]
I also think that, without you, Bravo will have no safety net and Jason will have no backstop.
Whatever you do, it has to be your choice.
Grant, hey, it's me.
Again.
Ah Um, look, I know you have a crazy day today.
I just really didn't want to leave this over your voice mail.
I have to go out of town for work.
Um, I hate going, since we're in such a good groove, but I don't have a choice.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
So, um, look, I guess I'll ju I'm gonna try you again later.
Okay.
Sir.
Just wanted to say that I am so excited about, you know, - being a part of Omega Team.
- Mm.
I know that this is a privilege for me to be included, - and I'm grateful.
- Well, it is a privilege, one that not everyone on Command felt you merited.
- Because of my paper? - Yeah.
I argued that you're more than qualified, and sending you with Bravo makes the most tactical sense.
Whether they agreed with me or saw this as an opportunity to send you into a hole for a few months is unclear.
I see.
Is there a reason why you're reading me in on these details now? I warned you about that paper.
The damage to your career has begun.
It's on you to figure out how to control it.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
We Chase misprinted lies We Face the path of time And yet I fight, and yet I fight This battle all alone No one to cry to No place to call home Ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh And yet I find, and yet I find Repeating in my head If I can't be my own I'd feel better dead.
[BEEPING.]
Huh.
It's low energy from the two guys who normally can't wait to get outside the wire to kick doors.
Just focused up is all.
You know the drill.
SONNY: I'm happy to just have Vah Beach in my rearview mirror.
Even though I am flying commercial.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh, Omega op protocol, man.
Staggered commercial flights keeps us clean.
JASON: Brock should've landed in, uh, Riohacha by now.
Should be connected with our contacts.
Brock all alone in Colombia, huh? What could possibly go wrong? What the hell are you doing here? Thought I told you we don't need you for this one.
- All in all the time.
- SONNY: What, you're deploying while your kid's in the hospital? Look, man, the doctor can do more for my kid right now than I can.
No room for the home front on an Omega.
I need all my guys dialed in.
My focus is on Bravo.
My flight's next.
See you all in-country.
Hey, Clay, we chose rooms already.
Thought we should stick you with Sonny.
Yeah, you know, we thought you needed a little practice losing sleep to a gassy, whiny kid.
- That's cute.
- [DAVIS CHUCKLES.]
Bravo Team, welcome to Colombia.
Ops Officer Smith, Jason Hayes.
- Yes, sir.
- Blackburn says hi.
Served with your XO before I moved to the Agency.
He speaks highly of your team's abilities, which will be put to the test while you're down here.
Well, hopefully that, uh, RadioShack keypad isn't put to the test protecting this safe house.
This residence is not intended to be a stronghold.
While you'll need to maintain cover here in Riohacha, it is a permissive environment.
Your operations will be over the border.
- Venezuela.
- [RAY GROANS.]
I take it you've worked there? Oh, yeah, we, uh, spent a decade there one week.
Just hope our digs don't come under siege this time.
I'll be on call to support you over the course of the Omega.
Welcome bags have secure cell phones, pistols and new IDs for each of you.
Armory's through that door.
All indig weapons to maintain cover.
If you don't see what you need, I've got guys who can get it.
Only thing missing is any clue what we're doing down here.
After Bravo Team's rescue of Dr.
Jin from North Korea, he's proven to be a critical source for the Agency in our efforts to monitor nuclear armament worldwide.
Right this way.
One of Dr.
Jin's students is this man, Dr.
Francisco Guillen, a Venezuelan national.
Since leaving his training in North Korea, intel says Dr.
Guillen is developing a Venezuelan nuclear weapons program.
So we got a volatile state in our hemisphere getting nukes? That is the stuff of Cold War nightmares.
We're here to take him out? SMITH: This Omega's strategic mission is dismantling the Venezuelan nuclear weapons program.
All indications are that a capture/kill of Guillen will strike a fatal blow to it.
You got a lot of legwork on this wallpaper.
I mean, did you have a team running CTR on Guillen? Ground Branch tracked him for weeks where he resides in Maracaibo, establishing pattern of life.
CLAY: I imagine the Venezuelans keep a pretty tight watch on the guy who could single-handedly promote them to global threat.
On the rare occasion when he emerges from his gilded cage where he's kept, Guillen is shadowed by a constant security detail.
We'll get him.
SMITH: Challenge is in neutralizing him while leaving no trace.
I'll let you get to it.
JASON: Tomorrow we take this guy out.
Davis, how long is it gonna take you to install the vehicle-hacking software? Matter of seconds for a stationary vehicle.
The signal routes through the Bluetooth on the HVT's cell phone into the car's computer, so he and the driver will have no clue.
Based on the pattern of life, Guillen will make his weekly trip to this restaurant right here.
And after dinner, he'll come back to his car, he'll head back home across that bridge.
SONNY: And then we'll play a massive game of Grand Theft Auto.
DAVIS: We'll have total control over the target vehicle's acceleration, the brakes, the steering.
We'll drive him right off the bridge.
- "Look, a tragic accident".
- And the Venezuelans' atomic plans will go "Hasta la vista, baby".
Yeah, we hope.
What do you mean, you hope? I mean, what if there's more to the-the nuclear program than Guillen? Right? More that he could shine a light on.
RAY: Mm.
Clay's right.
Guillen could provide priceless intel.
We're here to dismantle their whole program, not just one man.
Capture may be the better option.
No, this isn't an option.
SONNY: If Guillen vanishes, the Venezuelan program is gonna go so deep, you may never get a shot at it again.
Yeah, so we-we grab Guillen without them ever knowing he's gone.
Your plan still works, we just add one element.
- Pixie dust? - Divers.
RAY: A dive team could wait under the bridge and pull Guillen from the wreckage while he's still alive.
You're telling me that no one's gonna suspect that the driver's missing when they dredge up the car? It could've washed out with the tide.
This is not Dr.
Jin, looking to defect.
I'm gonna have to agree.
I mean, everything on the wall says this guy's a true believer.
JASON: That's right.
You know, he won't cooperate.
Not worth the risk.
No ranks in Omega.
We all get a say.
There's only one person in this room who can make a call like this, and it's not Bravo 6.
Hey, why don't we take five minutes, man? Come on, man.
Look, you said your piece.
We both know Jason's not gonna back down.
Uh, makes him stubborn, not right.
You and I aren't the only ones seeing that capture's the smarter play here.
Let's put it to vote.
Clay, it may be no ranks down here, but what happens when we get back home and it's back to Bravo as usual? How's that go? What happens in Venezuela will not stay in Venezuela.
You'd rather lose a chance at critical intel - than step on Jason's toes? - That capture plan is not a sure thing.
It goes sideways, we blow this whole op before it even starts.
Now, if you want to put it to a vote, my vote is to not start Bravo Civil War on day one.
Come on.
Let's go knock this thing down.
Hey, slow your roll, Sonny.
Yeah, I already prepped all that stuff, man, you're screwing it up.
Look, just because you didn't get your way with the op plan doesn't mean you need to micromanage me, okay? Them NICU doctors, they probably got sick and tired of you standing over their shoulder, telling 'em what to do, so they sent you packing, huh? Look, I'm here because I have a responsibility to this team.
[CHUCKLES.]
You really think your shit don't stink, don't you? Hmm? God, what would happen to us if Bravo 6 wasn't here to save us all? Hey.
Roll out in five, two vehicles.
Davis, you're with me, to deploy the software.
Gonna be in the middle of the action again.
I'm ready.
CLAY: Hey, Davis, I can, uh, I can be in there with you and help you run whatever tech.
Uh, Jace, you got your favorite back seat driver.
Hey, fuck off, Sonny.
- Hey, hey.
Settle down, man.
- Whoa, whoa.
Hey.
Clay, Sonny, ride together.
The rest of you with me.
[BIRDS CHIRPING.]
I got to relieve myself after that four-hour drive.
Guess this should work.
Are you serious, man? Haven't you heard? Everything's bigger in Texas.
Yeah, okay.
Oh.
Dr.
Guillen looks like he's living pretty large.
Sure he's got a few bathrooms in there.
CLAY: Well, man knows how to kill a half a million people with an atom.
Makes sense they'd want to keep him comfy.
SONNY: Well, hope he enjoyed it.
'Cause he's getting in his coffin.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
Target vehicle is moving.
JASON: That's good copy.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
Stick close.
HVT's vehicle is approaching your pos.
It's connecting.
[MEN SPEAKING SPANISH.]
- [COMPUTER BEEPS.]
- Upload complete.
Let me test it.
Looks good.
Target upload's complete.
Sonny, seriously? It's a bottle.
1, this is 6.
Target vehicle still hasn't moved.
JASON: Copy.
Keep eyes on.
Once HVT is back on road, RTB.
Hey, you want us to stick around here, - hang tight and back you up? - Negative.
You will RTB.
[SNIFFLES.]
All the variables on this one, I don't know why he doesn't want us to stay close.
Back seat driving from another car.
All right.
Magnificent.
Look, man, I just want to get home to my kid.
Okay, the quicker that we dismantle this program, the quicker we get back to our families.
Look, I refuse to take family advice from a guy who blew town while his kid's still in the hospital.
Look, man, I-I think you seem to forget that you left your family behind, too.
I ain't got no family to forget.
What does that mean? Leanne was ripped away from me right before we, uh, spun up.
Hannah decided to take her back to Texas.
Sonny, I'm sorry, man.
Spare me your pity.
1, this is 6.
Target vehicle's on the move.
- JASON: Copy, 6.
- [ENGINE STARTS.]
JASON: Who are these guys? Briefcases say business.
Ray, you're gonna want to ID them.
On it.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING.]
Look at the way Guillen's kissing their asses.
Must be VIPs.
Want Team 1 to follow? Not worth the risk of exposure.
We'll run their pictures through the Agency database for ID.
- 3, RTB.
- CLAY: Are you sure - you don't need more eyes? - Negative.
RTB now.
[WOMAN SHOUTING.]
What is this? Looks like Guillen must have a hard time hearing no.
Jesus.
They're putting a civilian in the car.
There's no way we're gonna crash it now.
[SHOUTING.]
Hey, what are you doing? - [SCREAMS.]
- [PEOPLE SHOUTING.]
[TIRES SCREECHING.]
- JASON: Let's go.
- Eh, so much for zero footprint.
Stay on them.
Move! [TIRES SCREECHING.]
He's changing routes.
Shots spooked them.
[TIRES SCREECHING.]
That truck's VSP.
Death squad we locked horns with - the last time we were here.
- Yeah, the two-inch scar - on my scalp remembers.
- RAY: We got to cut bait.
He'll be at the restaurant same time next week.
No, if they're scared enough to call in the VSP, they're gonna change up their pattern and Guillen's gonna vanish.
We won't have another chance.
VSP attached itself to HVT.
Waiting for them to drop off before we make our move on the target car.
Yeah, copy, 2.
We're turning around to assist.
Clay wants to provide support.
No, we do not need another vehicle drawing attention.
Will you call him off? We're managing, 6.
Continue to RTB.
We got to turn around.
Did you got your wires crossed in your comms there? You heard him say no.
I heard "VSP".
All right? Op's already sideways, and now there's killers in the mix.
[TIRES SCREECHING.]
Team 2, we're heading your direction to remove the HVT's security escort.
RAY: Our chance is slipping away, Jace.
If he's got an idea, let's hear it.
- CLAY: Here they come.
- [ENGINES APPROACHING.]
I got eyes on the target vehicle and VSP security escort.
You got one shot at this.
Got to make them think it's a blowout.
[TIRES SCREECHING.]
[MEN SPEAKING SPANISH.]
JASON: Okay, just take it easy.
Slow down.
All right? Stay back.
They don't buy that's a flat tire, they're gonna go shields up right here.
Go.
Go.
We're less than two klicks from Guillen's house.
Window's closing fast.
Uh, we need to pick our spot.
T intersection up ahead, he'll have to go left or right.
Brock, get closer to him, will you? JASON: It's now or never.
Davis, take control.
[ENGINE REVS.]
Guess a deployment beer doesn't taste as sweet when there's no general order prohibiting it.
Uh, deployment beer tastes so much better when you get a fire.
We should, uh, see what we can grab from down here and torch up on the roof.
RAY [CHUCKLES.]
: Oh, yeah, a rooftop inferno is gonna do wonders for our cover.
Drew enough attention to ourselves on that op, I mean, it can't hurt.
What, do you got a problem with that execution? RAY: Look, it wasn't as slick as we planned, but we got it done.
Guillen is erased.
Hey, the two guys we saw with Guillen? FRS just identified them as Ephraim Zaid and Arman Soroush.
Iranian nationals.
RAY: Iranians? They're no strangers to the nuclear game.
You think they're involved down here? Zaid and Soroush are top-tier leadership in the Iranian nuclear program.
They wouldn't waste their time on some pipe dream.
If they're here, the Venezuelan program is real.
Except for the local Dr.
Strangelove that ate the engine block.
Ask him how real it is now.
CLAY: Be nice if we could.
Maybe capturing him wasn't such a terrible idea.
Jace! - Hey.
- [METALLIC THUD.]
This whole "no ranks" bullshit, it stops right now.
You questioning my orders earlier, then you just taking a run at me right now in front of my team? You're looking for some kind of measuring contest, guess what, buddy, you're gonna lose.
- That's not what I'm doing.
- Then what exactly - are you doing? - I'm keeping this team safe.
That's my job.
I don't need your help, 6.
You know, it's one thing for an operator to go outside the wire and miss the birth of his child, but to go outside of the wire when your child is in the NICU? Your son is fighting for his life, and all you care about is your ego? Look, I am here protecting Bravo from you, okay? Your head is not right, and it hasn't been for months.
Interesting.
Huh, that's your fucking play? Stick me with TBI so you have a clear path to being Bravo 1? You being compromised is dangerous for everyone.
You want to know what's fucking dangerous? Huh? You threatening your team leader.
So you better think long and hard, right, about what you're gonna say and do next, 'cause the next time it's not gonna be a fucking warning.
