Six (2017) s01e07 Episode Script
Blood Brothers
1 Previously on "Six" Fung: The target is Nilofar Kazbekov.
Agency sources tell us she may have information leading to Rip in West Africa.
Got the computer.
Muttaqi: Are you prepared for the next phase? I'm going to get the SEAL.
Not without approval.
He's a distraction from your mission.
[Door clanks.]
This is unexpected.
Our alliance with Boko Haram is the key to our expansion into Africa.
Of course, but I So then why do you go and you kill their leader and his men? I made a tactical decision.
It wasn't safe to conta You stole my trust.
Your best option is to trade me and those girls for 20 of your imprisoned Jihadist brothers.
Give your boy to Boko Haram.
Muttaqi: Meet your new cellmate.
Hello.
He said that a SEAL killed a prisoner in cold blood.
This guy has Rip or knows who has him.
Can't send it to Intel, because they they'll know what Rip said in the video is true.
It'd be the word of a terrorist against us.
This is bigger than Rip.
It's bigger than the girls, and it's bigger than us.
He wants to be the next Osama Bin Laden.
Hey.
I need some, too.
Say "please.
" Please.
[Exhales deeply.]
Say "thank you.
" This is a misunderstanding.
I'll be out of here soon.
You'd be better off keeping your mouth shut.
I don't know.
Dad looked pretty disappointed in you.
He's not my father.
No, no, no, no, no.
He's the Butcher of Khost.
Insha'allah, he kills one more before the end of the day.
Well, I'd be careful of that, 'cause it might be you.
You're a long way away from Detroit.
Go to hell.
Dearborn, right? Where the Muslims live.
Most of them don't betray their country.
You wanna talk about betrayal? My father was an engineer in Lebanon.
He was respected.
In America, he worked two jobs at minimum wage for 40 years.
Slave labor.
He paid his taxes, he voted, and for what? If you don't have loads of money in America, you're nobody.
You're trash.
America betrayed us.
Yeah, you and 50 million other people.
But I guess you're special, right? You think you're owed something.
How can you do what you do? The Koran does not condone the killing of innocent people.
The cross is dipped in far more blood than the crescent moon.
You are worse than Boko Haram.
They are just thugs.
You? You couch your murders in pretty words.
You use God to justify your barbarity.
We all think God is on our side.
Did you watch the video? - I watched it.
- We have a translation.
I speak Pashto, Caulder.
He says Rip did it.
Did he? Dude's a terrorist.
Nobody's gonna believe him.
But you do, or you wouldn't be asking me to to do what, exactly? He must have Rip.
He might even have the Nigerian girls.
We have to get this into the intelligence community and figure out who he is so we can get them.
Without our fingerprints? I know it's a big favor to ask.
Do you realize how much trouble we could be in? What I should do is give it to NCIS.
Let them decide if it's true or not.
We think the guy in the video's American.
What happens if he comes back, huh? What happens if he's not on a watch list? What happens if he kills more people? Who gave you this video? Give it to NCIS.
Do whatever you think is right, after we get him back, after we get those girls back to their families.
[Rapid gunfire.]
[Gunfire continues.]
[Gunshot.]
Anything? Fung still hasn't gotten back to me, so either we're going after Rip, or the NCIS dickheads come knocking, and we may end up in Leavenworth.
So this is it.
We get Rip or we throw away our careers.
Yeah.
This is it.
Nice.
And I just got here.
That line you told me about between good and evil, remind me which side we're on again.
Things aren't as simple as that.
You told me that, remember? Jesus, Bear.
Rule number one Never take my advice.
[Chuckles.]
That's right.
Where'd you go to school? What do you care? You're a college boy.
I can tell.
Bet you own a scholarship.
Doctor.
Or lawyer.
I dropped out of Michigan after my father was beaten half to death for being Muslim, by men like you.
Well, white trash like me don't get to go to college.
Either jail or the military for people like me.
Yeah, it's your country.
You know, my old man He got drunk one night, went to town on me with a metal pipe.
Broke my arm, lacerated my kidney.
So I chose door number two, 'cause I wanted to be the baddest dude on the planet.
That son of a bitch was never gonna hit me again.
I became a SEAL.
I started negotiations for you.
Farouk Mohammad and 20 Jihadists out of Guantanamo.
Boko Haram doesn't want our money.
They want your head.
You wanted to sacrifice yourself for the cause.
This is your chance.
The girls come with me.
No.
Our Muslims brothers need wives.
They'll go back to Boko Haram with you.
No.
Please.
Please, you can't do that.
We are not going back there! We are not going back! There is no deal without them, 'cause I won't go.
You don't have a choice now, do you? Akmal, look at me.
Akmal.
Akmal! [Breathing heavily.]
[Exhales sharply.]
Thanks.
[Sniffles.]
All I know is death.
Everything I see, everything I touch I destroy.
[Cellphone vibrating.]
[Touchscreen clicks.]
Just go.
Joe? I don't think we should have a child.
[Cellphone vibrating.]
[Sea birds calling.]
[Touchscreen clicks.]
[Line ringing.]
Hello? Hey, Dharma.
How are you? Hey, I was wondering if maybe you wanted to grab coffee or lunch or something - so we can - How am I? I'm not really here.
I'm in the air, in the ocean.
I'm everywhere and nowhere.
Don't bother to leave a message.
I won't return your call.
Beeeeep.
[Beep.]
Give it back to me! Hold on! It's mine.
- Anabel, just give him the shell.
- [Thud.]
- Anabel, I hate you! - Hey! - It's your fault! - Hey, come on.
- That's enough.
- You did it! Hey, come on, guys.
Chill.
Who wants some ice cream, huh? Well, sorbet.
Oh, no, no.
I have to get back.
I have that dinner tonight.
It's an important client, Ricky.
Yeah, of course.
Huh, you're gonna get it, right? We're gonna be fine.
Huh? We got this, right, guys? Mm-hmm.
Hey.
Hey.
[Kisses.]
What's up? Que pasa, juanita? Huh? I'm just gonna say it.
I don't wanna go to dance school.
What? What do you mean? This has been your dream, like, forever.
It's been your dream.
Oh, you're going to that school.
No, I'm not.
It's not fun anymore.
I want to be with my friends.
Your father is leaving the Service so you can go.
I took the job to pay for it.
You're going.
I'm not going.
- Anabel! - Well [Cellphone vibrating.]
You have to be back before I leave for this dinner.
I don't know what time I'll be back.
Ricky It's about Rip.
[Door opens.]
[Door closes.]
At ease.
I think you all know Ms.
Houlding, the National Security Advisor.
Jim Beauchamp, White House Counsel.
Boys, we caught a break.
We think we know who has Rip and the girls.
We just stumbled on reliable intel that leads us to this man Michael Nasry.
Born in Dearborn, Michigan, dropped out of U of M.
Same flag from the Tanzania and Dubai bombings is behind Rip in the confession video.
Sir, are we any closer to a location? The computer you snatched from Nilofar in Panama puts her brother in an abandoned Soviet cement plant in Southern Chad.
They got sloppy.
We picked up low-level voice intercept about an American hostage.
So there's a very good chance that Nasry is at this location with Taggart.
Sir, is this the same group that killed Buck? Looks like it.
Ma'am.
The White House is quietly negotiating Taggart's release.
The girls, too, if they're there.
We're hoping to avoid another military adventure in West Africa, but if negotiations don't work, you go in and you bring them back.
Ma'am, what about Nasry? We just gonna let him go for Rip's exchange? The minute those hostages are safe, we incinerate the White Squadron is wheels up, two hours.
Tidy up your home life.
Hey.
Take Buck's saw on this op, all right? Roger that.
Is it true? Are we really going back there, with those men? You're coming with me.
Don't lie to her, Richard.
There's nothing you can do.
You're the recruiter, right? The man with the golden tongue? Recruit Akmal.
To do what? To kill your boss.
Your brother died for that man.
That's what you said, right? This is how he repays loyalty? How can you sit there and do nothing? Does your life really mean that little to you? What do you know about the value of a human life? You're a coward.
[Sighs.]
[Sighs heavily.]
Atkins: The exchange for Rip is in two days.
A Ranger element will provide cordon force security in case the exchange falls through and we have to go in.
One Troop will be the QRF.
Now as soon as Rip is safe, either through the exchange or we go in and get him, we'll have our JTAC's disappear the place with a couple of 2,000-pounders.
What about the girls, sir? ISR and our birds are blocked by the concrete roofs, so we don't have eyes on 'em.
So they might not even be there.
That's what we have to find out.
They have food but no water, which is delivered every other day by a Nigerian, a local Baggara Arab who looks Libyan, and another local grunt.
We've identified the route they take.
Salaam Alaikum.
[Speaking Arabic.]
[Speaks Arabic.]
[Gunshots.]
Hands! Down! Out.
Come on! Down! Down! Down! We got two minutes.
Clean that blood up.
[Static crackles.]
Radio check.
Radio check.
[Truck door closes.]
QRF will launch if it goes sideways.
- Yeah, to pick up the pieces.
- Ah.
Chase, you good? Yeah.
[Engine starts.]
Should be me going in there.
Yeah.
You'd fit right in.
[Typing.]
- Akmal? - [Gunshot.]
- [Grunts.]
[Thud.]
They'll obey him now.
He'll kill you, too [Speaks Arabic.]
Akmal, I can help you, if you help me.
You think Muttaqi would have thought of getting the SEAL to confess? You have to convince him to free me.
We are on a new path to Jihad, you and I.
I saw your face when you recognized everything we worked for was coming true.
Muttaqi is stuck in the past.
We're the future.
All you are to him is a strong back, a slave like the Zanj who rebelled against the Abbasid Caliphate.
Join me.
Be like Ali ibn Muhammad.
You killed your commander once in the name of Allah.
Do it again for our cause, Akmal.
Muttaqi was right.
You have no loyalty.
[Door closes.]
[Lowered voice.]
Richard, I understood a little of what they said in Arabic.
Somebody got shot, some something about the big guy, Akmal's sister, not being able to reach her on a game.
[Whispers.]
Okay.
Akmal's got a sister? Is she a terrorist, too? This game This game's a video game, right? Now you know we know all about that.
That's how you guys communicate, right? Private chat room.
A bunch of you guys join, create your own encrypted message board.
You think it's untraceable.
I know it is.
Not if one of your computers gets snatched.
Maybe Akmal's sister isn't talking because she's been compromised.
You don't know that.
Well, Akmal seemed to be worried about it.
I bet Muttaqi would be worried about it, too.
You're playing a dangerous game.
And what choice do we have? Come on.
Come on.
What do you want? I want you to let her go.
I want you to let those girls go.
They deserve a chance to live.
They deserve a chance at a good life.
What do I get? You get me.
Remember, don't speak.
Limit your eye contact.
Think meek.
Atkins: Fellas, here we go.
He's asking who Fishbait is.
What's he saying? It's too far away.
I can't hear it.
Come on.
Come on, Fish.
They could be compromised.
Get the QRF ready now.
Look, sir.
Look.
All right, belay my last.
[Static crackling.]
Caulder: What's going on? Truck camera's failing.
All right, lock on as many faces as you can.
Yes, sir.
Atkins: Starting with the guy out front.
[Truck door closes.]
[Beep.]
Got him.
Facial recon has a match on that guy.
Akmal Barayev, former Russian Spetsnaz.
Nilofar's brother.
I guess we knocked on the right door.
Atkins: I.
D.
that guy that just grabbed the water.
Facial recognition's got a lock on him, sir.
His name is Akhmed [Speaks indistinctly.]
He's a Chechen.
Atkins: Wait.
Pull up that guy in the suit.
Zoom in.
Caulder: Holyshit.
Yeah.
Muttaqi's with this guy Michael Nasry.
Lock it up.
We have a confirmation.
Emir Hatim Al-Muttaqi.
Atkins: All right, push that to the Joint Chiefs.
Where's he going? [Speaks Arabic.]
Atkins: Rewind.
What was down that hall? Whatever it was, we missed it.
Freeze.
Zoom in.
Zooming in.
Ortiz: Look at their rifles.
Definitely the same guys we dumped in the BH village.
- Mm-hmm.
- All right, correlate these images With the blueprints and get a head count.
Sir.
[Engine idling.]
[Engine idling.]
French? Harvard.
[Chuckles.]
All stations, Delta Four.
We are egressing from target.
Break.
Confirmed eyes on at least one female hostage.
I say again, one female hostage is confirmed.
I knew it.
- There's no Rip.
- They must keep them separated.
All right, push that up the chain.
[Fishbait laughs.]
Tell me about your brother.
Why? Well, I shot him.
I'd like to know.
Do you have a brother? Yeah.
Younger? Eight years older.
Did you want to be him? When I got out from underneath my father's thumb.
Mm.
Omar wanted to be me.
Same school, same major, same sports, same blonde girls.
The Cause.
You recruited him? Omar was braver than me, smarter.
He learned Pashto and Arabic faster than me.
He insisted on the most dangerous missions.
Muttaqi would send him into your bases to get intel.
Your people never suspected him.
Can I see his picture? Show it to me.
[Breathes deeply.]
If it weren't for me, he'd still be alive.
We have a saying in my world You can't feed a lion lettuce.
That's what I am.
I'm sorry.
It's what we are.
Hey! Muttaqi! I got something to say! I wanna talk to the Butcher of Khost! - [Girls gasp.]
- Shut up! [Na'omi speaks indistinctly.]
- What do you want? - I want to talk to your boss.
Akmal's sister's been taken.
I overheard him.
He tried to reach out to her on a game.
It's true, Akmal.
She's not answering.
Your communication's been compromised.
My people smell you, Muttaqi.
They're on their way here right now.
I know what you're trying to do.
Ask him.
Ask him! Justice is coming to you, Michael, quicker than I thought.
[Shouts in Arabic.]
[Breathing heavily.]
[Door opens.]
Graves: Based on the intel that Chase and Malouf here gave us, we believe that the girls are in the northwest sector.
Now we're still unsure at to Rip's location, but we're gonna push through and press the target until we find him.
Delta, we're gonna air-land on the X, move toward our primary entry point.
Chalk Two, with Echo, are gonna insert on the roof.
Chalk Three, with Bravo, are gonna insert on the south side and breach here.
Questions? What about the Cordon Element? Rangers are gonna come in and tighten the noose once we're inside.
Nobody gets in, nobody gets out.
Pack your kit.
Keep studying this.
Know your deconfliction points.
All right? Sir, take a look.
Those four men just came on station.
They posted a guard outside.
All right, give me those.
Graves: Delta Eight, this is Delta One.
Do you have eyes on the hostile on the south side of the target? Over.
Delta One, Roger.
He just came out.
[Camera shutter clicking.]
Bastard has night vision.
Roger that.
Sit tight.
Over.
[Static crackles.]
So we have NODs now.
That's a game changer.
They see us on insert, they kill Rip and the girls before we even get close, sir.
- You guys hearing that? - What? [Static crackling.]
Metal on metal, voices, footsteps, a lot of activity.
So what do you make of it? Something's rattled them.
They're getting ready to move.
[Cellphone alert chimes, beeps.]
[Engine revving.]
Man, check this out.
White phosphor.
These new babies are crisp, man.
All right, listen up.
We just got word from JSOC.
Negotiations for Rip broke down.
SIGINT picked up some Boko Haram chatter, and a group based north of Benin City is sending a truck to rendezvous near a cement factory in Chad.
Our cement factory? There's only one in Chad.
Predator's tacking the truck, and they're two hours out.
The President pulled the trigger.
H-Hour is 0600, local time.
First light.
Atkins: You want to get Rip and those girls, It's first light.
Sir.
Atkins: Okay, everyone, we leave at 0600.
Another daytime hit.
[Sighs.]
You need to know why Rip wanted you to take the team.
He knew I had a family.
He knew I cared about them as much as I care about the team.
He thought it would weigh on me.
He was right.
Still remember the quote he burned into me.
"Out of every 100 men, 10 shouldn't be in combat, 80 are just targets, 9 are real fighters, but one one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.
" You are the one, Joe.
You will bring us home.
You will bring Rip and those girls back.
That's why you're team leader, brother.
[Pats back.]
[Von Bonneville's "Cards With the Devil" playing.]
One hand washes the other One eye open when I sleep One thing leads to another One's sleeping six feet deep Two faces in the mirror The two rights erase the wrong Two choices, which one's clearer? Do I fight or do I run? I played cards with the Devil I made a bet with a ghost I made sure they'll never Find the cure for a crooked soul I played cards with the Devil I made a bet with a ghost I made sure they'll never Find the cure for a crooked soul I see nothing but black clouds I'm in the eye of a storm I been burning my tightrope But I've got the beast by the horns In this town, blood's like water In this place, nothing's for free And I am tangled in its web But no one gets the best of me I played cards with the Devil I made a bet with a ghost I made sure they'll never Find the cure for a crooked soul Time to load the birds.
I made a bet with a ghost Get those girls out, find Rip, then we'll sink some J-dams into that structure wipe it off the map.
[Blades whirring.]
And, Joe, I don't care what really happened with Rip in Afghanistan.
You just bring him home.
Yes, sir.
[Voice breaking.]
What do I tell the girls? Esther? If you get a chance to run, you take it.
If you can save just one of those girls [Door opens.]
[Door bangs.]
[Girls gasp.]
It's time.
[Girls speaking indistinctly.]
Richard? Where's Muttaqi? You are dead to him already.
Teacher? Mr.
Rip? [Zip tie tightens.]
Let's go.
Ugh! [Door closes.]
[Screaming.]
[Rip continues creaming.]
Don't do this.
Akmal! You will serve Allah now, Michael.
[Door closes.]
He'll kill you now.
[Speaks Arabic.]
[Blade clicks.]
[Zip tie rips.]

Is it true? Are we really going back there, with those men? You're coming with me.
Don't lie to her, Richard.
There's nothing you can do.
You're the recruiter, right? The man with the golden tongue? Recruit Akmal.
To do what? To kill your boss.
Your brother died for that man.
That's what you said, right? This is how he repays loyalty? How can you sit there and do nothing? Does your life really mean that little to you? What do you know about the value of a human life? You're a coward.
[Sighs.]
[Sighs heavily.]
Atkins: The exchange for Rip is in two days.
A Ranger element will provide cordon force security in case the exchange falls through and we have to go in.
One Troop will be the QRF.
Now as soon as Rip is safe, either through the exchange or we go in and get him, we'll have our JTAC's disappear the place with a couple of 2,000-pounders.
What about the girls, sir? ISR and our birds are blocked by the concrete roofs, so we don't have eyes on 'em.
So they might not even be there.
That's what we have to find out.
They have food but no water, which is delivered every other day by a Nigerian, a local Baggara Arab who looks Libyan, and another local grunt.
We've identified the route they take.
Salaam Alaikum.
[Speaking Arabic.]
[Speaks Arabic.]
[Gunshots.]
Hands! Down! Out.
Come on! Down! Down! Down! We got two minutes.
Clean that blood up.
[Static crackles.]
Radio check.
Radio check.
[Truck door closes.]
QRF will launch if it goes sideways.
- Yeah, to pick up the pieces.
- Ah.
Chase, you good? Yeah.
[Engine starts.]
Should be me going in there.
Yeah.
You'd fit right in.
[Typing.]
- Akmal? - [Gunshot.]
- [Grunts.]
[Thud.]
They'll obey him now.
He'll kill you, too [Speaks Arabic.]
Akmal, I can help you, if you help me.
You think Muttaqi would have thought of getting the SEAL to confess? You have to convince him to free me.
We are on a new path to Jihad, you and I.
I saw your face when you recognized everything we worked for was coming true.
Muttaqi is stuck in the past.
We're the future.
All you are to him is a strong back, a slave like the Zanj who rebelled against the Abbasid Caliphate.
Join me.
Be like Ali ibn Muhammad.
You killed your commander once in the name of Allah.
Do it again for our cause, Akmal.
Muttaqi was right.
You have no loyalty.
[Door closes.]
[Lowered voice.]
Richard, I understood a little of what they said in Arabic.
Somebody got shot, some something about the big guy, Akmal's sister, not being able to reach her on a game.
[Whispers.]
Okay.
Akmal's got a sister? Is she a terrorist, too? This game This game's a video game, right? Now you know we know all about that.
That's how you guys communicate, right? Private chat room.
A bunch of you guys join, create your own encrypted message board.
You think it's untraceable.
I know it is.
Not if one of your computers gets snatched.
Maybe Akmal's sister isn't talking because she's been compromised.
You don't know that.
Well, Akmal seemed to be worried about it.
I bet Muttaqi would be worried about it, too.
You're playing a dangerous game.
And what choice do we have? Come on.
Come on.
What do you want? I want you to let her go.
I want you to let those girls go.
They deserve a chance to live.
They deserve a chance at a good life.
What do I get? You get me.
Remember, don't speak.
Limit your eye contact.
Think meek.
Atkins: Fellas, here we go.
He's asking who Fishbait is.
What's he saying? It's too far away.
I can't hear it.
Come on.
Come on, Fish.
They could be compromised.
Get the QRF ready now.
Look, sir.
Look.
All right, belay my last.
[Static crackling.]
Caulder: What's going on? Truck camera's failing.
All right, lock on as many faces as you can.
Yes, sir.
Atkins: Starting with the guy out front.
[Truck door closes.]
[Beep.]
Got him.
Facial recon has a match on that guy.
Akmal Barayev, former Russian Spetsnaz.
Nilofar's brother.
I guess we knocked on the right door.
Atkins: I.
D.
that guy that just grabbed the water.
Facial recognition's got a lock on him, sir.
His name is Akhmed [Speaks indistinctly.]
He's a Chechen.
Atkins: Wait.
Pull up that guy in the suit.
Zoom in.
Caulder: Holyshit.
Yeah.
Muttaqi's with this guy Michael Nasry.
Lock it up.
We have a confirmation.
Emir Hatim Al-Muttaqi.
Atkins: All right, push that to the Joint Chiefs.
Where's he going? [Speaks Arabic.]
Atkins: Rewind.
What was down that hall? Whatever it was, we missed it.
Freeze.
Zoom in.
Zooming in.
Ortiz: Look at their rifles.
Definitely the same guys we dumped in the BH village.
- Mm-hmm.
- All right, correlate these images With the blueprints and get a head count.
Sir.
[Engine idling.]
[Engine idling.]
French? Harvard.
[Chuckles.]
All stations, Delta Four.
We are egressing from target.
Break.
Confirmed eyes on at least one female hostage.
I say again, one female hostage is confirmed.
I knew it.
- There's no Rip.
- They must keep them separated.
All right, push that up the chain.
[Fishbait laughs.]
Tell me about your brother.
Why? Well, I shot him.
I'd like to know.
Do you have a brother? Yeah.
Younger? Eight years older.
Did you want to be him? When I got out from underneath my father's thumb.
Mm.
Omar wanted to be me.
Same school, same major, same sports, same blonde girls.
The Cause.
You recruited him? Omar was braver than me, smarter.
He learned Pashto and Arabic faster than me.
He insisted on the most dangerous missions.
Muttaqi would send him into your bases to get intel.
Your people never suspected him.
Can I see his picture? Show it to me.
[Breathes deeply.]
If it weren't for me, he'd still be alive.
We have a saying in my world You can't feed a lion lettuce.
That's what I am.
I'm sorry.
It's what we are.
Hey! Muttaqi! I got something to say! I wanna talk to the Butcher of Khost! - [Girls gasp.]
- Shut up! [Na'omi speaks indistinctly.]
- What do you want? - I want to talk to your boss.
Akmal's sister's been taken.
I overheard him.
He tried to reach out to her on a game.
It's true, Akmal.
She's not answering.
Your communication's been compromised.
My people smell you, Muttaqi.
They're on their way here right now.
I know what you're trying to do.
Ask him.
Ask him! Justice is coming to you, Michael, quicker than I thought.
[Shouts in Arabic.]
[Breathing heavily.]
[Door opens.]
Graves: Based on the intel that Chase and Malouf here gave us, we believe that the girls are in the northwest sector.
Now we're still unsure at to Rip's location, but we're gonna push through and press the target until we find him.
Delta, we're gonna air-land on the X, move toward our primary entry point.
Chalk Two, with Echo, are gonna insert on the roof.
Chalk Three, with Bravo, are gonna insert on the south side and breach here.
Questions? What about the Cordon Element? Rangers are gonna come in and tighten the noose once we're inside.
Nobody gets in, nobody gets out.
Pack your kit.
Keep studying this.
Know your deconfliction points.
All right? Sir, take a look.
Those four men just came on station.
They posted a guard outside.
All right, give me those.
Graves: Delta Eight, this is Delta One.
Do you have eyes on the hostile on the south side of the target? Over.
Delta One, Roger.
He just came out.
[Camera shutter clicking.]
Bastard has night vision.
Roger that.
Sit tight.
Over.
[Static crackles.]
So we have NODs now.
That's a game changer.
They see us on insert, they kill Rip and the girls before we even get close, sir.
- You guys hearing that? - What? [Static crackling.]
Metal on metal, voices, footsteps, a lot of activity.
So what do you make of it? Something's rattled them.
They're getting ready to move.
[Cellphone alert chimes, beeps.]
[Engine revving.]
Man, check this out.
White phosphor.
These new babies are crisp, man.
All right, listen up.
We just got word from JSOC.
Negotiations for Rip broke down.
SIGINT picked up some Boko Haram chatter, and a group based north of Benin City is sending a truck to rendezvous near a cement factory in Chad.
Our cement factory? There's only one in Chad.
Predator's tacking the truck, and they're two hours out.
The President pulled the trigger.
H-Hour is 0600, local time.
First light.
Atkins: You want to get Rip and those girls, It's first light.
Sir.
Atkins: Okay, everyone, we leave at 0600.
Another daytime hit.
[Sighs.]
You need to know why Rip wanted you to take the team.
He knew I had a family.
He knew I cared about them as much as I care about the team.
He thought it would weigh on me.
He was right.
Still remember the quote he burned into me.
"Out of every 100 men, 10 shouldn't be in combat, 80 are just targets, 9 are real fighters, but one one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.
" You are the one, Joe.
You will bring us home.
You will bring Rip and those girls back.
That's why you're team leader, brother.
[Pats back.]
[Von Bonneville's "Cards With the Devil" playing.]
One hand washes the other One eye open when I sleep One thing leads to another One's sleeping six feet deep Two faces in the mirror The two rights erase the wrong Two choices, which one's clearer? Do I fight or do I run? I played cards with the Devil I made a bet with a ghost I made sure they'll never Find the cure for a crooked soul I played cards with the Devil I made a bet with a ghost I made sure they'll never Find the cure for a crooked soul I see nothing but black clouds I'm in the eye of a storm I been burning my tightrope But I've got the beast by the horns In this town, blood's like water In this place, nothing's for free And I am tangled in its web But no one gets the best of me I played cards with the Devil I made a bet with a ghost I made sure they'll never Find the cure for a crooked soul Time to load the birds.
I made a bet with a ghost Get those girls out, find Rip, then we'll sink some J-dams into that structure wipe it off the map.
[Blades whirring.]
And, Joe, I don't care what really happened with Rip in Afghanistan.
You just bring him home.
Yes, sir.
[Voice breaking.]
What do I tell the girls? Esther? If you get a chance to run, you take it.
If you can save just one of those girls [Door opens.]
[Door bangs.]
[Girls gasp.]
It's time.
[Girls speaking indistinctly.]
Richard? Where's Muttaqi? You are dead to him already.
Teacher? Mr.
Rip? [Zip tie tightens.]
Let's go.
Ugh! [Door closes.]
[Screaming.]
[Rip continues creaming.]
Don't do this.
Akmal! You will serve Allah now, Michael.
[Door closes.]
He'll kill you now.
[Speaks Arabic.]
[Blade clicks.]
[Zip tie rips.]
