SEAL Team (2017) s03e17 Episode Script
Drawdown
1
Previously on SEAL Team
A few weeks ago, Mr.
Quinn assaulted a patron at a Washington, D.
C.
pub, and this is how I'm handling it.
Petty Officer Quinn will travel to Laughlin Air Force base tomorrow for six weeks of advanced armory school.
How in the hell did Lindell find out what happened in D.
C.
? You happen to tell him at one of your private meetings? - Why would I do that? - Well, the teacher's pet does need his star, doesn't he? - He's pushing me for STA-21.
- I knew it! - I haven't said yes.
- Well, no, you haven't said no, - either, have you? - I really thought that I could be all in with Bravo and with you.
And I was wrong.
Bravo Team needs me more than you do right now.
You're definitely coming back? Promise you won't die over there? I promise.
Teena says she'll go with you.
Baby, I-I don't Yeah.
Be honest.
Does this look like the same one I snapped yesterday? It's the same picture, Ray.
Documenting Teena's time in Afghanistan - is a great way to stay in touch with - Take the doll - Put the doll away.
- No, it's a great way to stay close - with Jameelah.
Let her know - Put it away.
Daddy's safe.
- I can take one for you for Natalie if you want.
- No, that's okay.
- Yeah - What is up with this place, huh? I mean, look at it, it's like Seems like everybody's clocking out.
Well, that's 'cause they are, brother.
I mean, it's a base closure and a troop drawdown.
Everybody's trying to give peace a chance.
Yeah, well, it's Afghanistan.
Danger lurking around every corner.
- You know that.
- Yeah.
Well, you can wait on that danger to come along, but me? Since I told my daughter I was gonna make it home, I'm not complaining about how quiet things are.
Jason Hayes.
- Ray Perry.
- Wow.
I heard a rumor Bravo was back.
Jack Daniels, my man look at him.
Wait a second.
Got the same watch on I gave him last time, huh? - Good as new.
- Man, haven't seen you in a few deployments.
- Yeah, I know.
- Not since he gave me this watch.
And it's still running, isn't it? Not sure I can say the same for us.
Yeah, man, you know you rode shotgun with us on some of our hairiest ops, brother.
My wife and children are glad - they're behind me.
- So, what's up? You still, uh, interpreting for SOCOM? No, I am working with the Ministry of Interior now.
Hopefully bringing some stability to my country.
So you're the reason my team is so bored.
If I do my job right, Jason, you'll be bored for months.
Been three weeks since we arrived.
- Bravo's getting antsy.
- With the drawdown, there's not a lot of kinetic action out there for Tier One operators.
What about targeting packages from past teams? I need more Intel, but I'm hitting roadblocks.
All the other agencies seem focused on the upcoming key leader engagement.
Peace with the Taliban.
Never thought I'd see the day.
You know, something tells me you both think that's a bad idea.
This country hasn't seen peace in ages, so our departure's gonna cause some growing pains.
- Violent ones.
- Jeopardizing all the progress we've made in the past two decades.
Yeah, you're probably right, but nobody around here wants to hear that, so I suggest you not make any waves.
Picked up these secrets from a Snake Eater in Kunduz.
Hand-roasted beans.
Burr grind.
I must've schwacked two dozen bad guys on that pump.
Every story includes a body count.
Eh, Thirty Mike just saying words.
Words with dollar signs attached to them.
Some publisher's gonna make it rain for my memoir of all the ninja ops I rolled on.
And we'll find it in the fiction section.
Nice job, T.
All right.
Settle in, boys.
Papa needs to make this shot right here.
- 50 bucks you miss.
- All right.
Finally get a little action around here.
Oh! Yes! That tab's getting up there, buddy.
Someone, uh, want to explain this to me? - Huh? - Well, since a, uh, "volunteer" has to go babysit those little Army boots in that COP Redding bullet sponge, we have decided that the loser of the Camp Larkin Open has to go.
It's not so bad out there.
I had a forbidden thing with a local smoke show years ago.
- No, you didn't.
- I vote that we find someone else from Charlie Team to fill in for Sonny.
Yeah, uh, Thirty Mike is an acquired taste.
Speaking of, has anybody heard from Sonny? Did they hit 'em up? No.
Radio silent.
Honestly, it's probably better that he's not here, though.
He'd be climbing the frickin' walls with us just sitting around like this.
You can't complain about the op tempo, man.
It's nice not being shot at for a little while.
You know, the Ray Perry I met a dozen years ago would kick your ass for saying that.
- Oh, yeah? - Uh-huh.
So what, we're just gonna play golf and work on our tans all deployment? My guess is we're sidelined as a way to show the Taliban our commitment towards a drawdown.
Bunch of Tier One operators start making hits, and they got to worry we have an agenda.
Wow, pretty and smart.
You know, you should think about joining the real pipe hitters on Charlie Team.
Clay's not going nowhere.
Except COP Redding.
Oh Sorry, Trent.
Only thing worse than doing nothing here is doing nothing alone.
What's your poison? I'll get a-a whiskey, neat.
Thank you, Miss Hannah.
Sonny Quinn.
In the flesh.
I like the beard.
It's a definite upgrade from that sad little caterpillar above your lip in eighth grade.
Oh, yeah? Well, greatness comes from humble beginnings.
So, you work here now? I own here now.
Saved up and bought the place a few years back.
- From humble beginnings.
- Ah.
Well, huh.
You've been busy, huh? You've been M.
I.
A.
Yeah.
So of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, what brings you into mine this afternoon? Well, uh, you know, I'm gonna be working over in Laughlin for a while, so I was remembering, you know, just all the hell-raising that we used to do in this place.
Oh, man, oh, man.
So I figured I'd just come on by and see if it was still standing.
Telling me you drove all this way to see if this place still smells like stale beer? Yes, ma'am.
Come on, Sonny.
After all these years, I can still tell when you're hiding something.
Is that right? - Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
What the hell's Team America doing now? It looks like he's trying to put the bar back together.
Whole base is coming down, he's building it back up.
Dude is in denial.
Mm-hmm.
It's got to be easier than the truth.
You know, coming here for the ninth time, witnessing a drawdown and watching us making peace with the enemy.
Clay.
Let's help the man.
Come on.
What you doing, Bob Vila? Well, I figured, uh Get the end of that and push it together, all right? I figure we're gonna be at, uh, Camp Larkin for a while, so let's turn it back into our home.
Get the bar up.
Come on.
- Ready? - Yeah.
All the fallen SEALs who lived at Larkin.
All these boys made the ultimate sacrifice.
It is on us right now, it's on us to make sure that, uh, no one else is added to this.
- J.
- Yeah? - Eddie Guzman.
- Yeah.
- Your old team leader? - Yeah.
Wonder what he would say if he knew we were making friends with Tali.
He wouldn't say a damn thing.
He'd just spit out some chew and keep working.
Anyone who says otherwise is a damn liar.
No, he'd say he went down fighting for the rest of us.
That's what he would say.
You know what? You can save that crap for the Bravo kids you've been spoon-feeding it to for the last ten years.
I knew you before you were you.
You just reminded me why Bravo Team kicked you down to Charlie Team decades ago.
- You know what's funny? - What? How I'm back because Bravo 1 couldn't keep his team together.
Still have problems with the truth, don't you, Thirty Mike? - It's okay.
You'll grow up someday.
- The truth.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Truth.
- Yeah, like, with what happened to CuJo? - Hey.
- Yo, man.
Seriously? What's wrong with you, man? Mortar? Told you, Ray.
Still Afghanistan.
Now that's some tale.
This Lindell fellow sounds like a real villain.
Well, I must've told it right, then, because he is.
The part where your teammates turn on you? Betrayed by your brothers? Damn near Shakespearean.
Mm-hmm.
Does that, uh, that make me the tragic hero? Well, that's up to you.
Plan on going home while you're here? I, uh, I popped by a few weeks ago.
- Really? How'd that go? - Yeah.
It was brief.
Yeah, it appears that Emmet didn't learn, uh, how to be a father while I was away.
There's a lot of history between you two.
Yeah, and none of it pretty.
I always thought he was the strongest man in the world.
You know, h-his voice would send a shiver up my spine, and he could corral a-a team of wild horses.
Lot of time has passed.
Might be worth giving him a chance.
Oh, no, no.
Listen, I will pay for my own liquor here if I don't have to listen to you plead a case for I'm not pleading anything.
I'm a neutral third party - just looking to make peace.
- All right.
- Okay.
- He comes in here every now and then.
He's always alone.
You know, I only got two regrets.
The first was leaving my Trans Am behind.
Okay? You remember, like, all-all that-that time and hard work and money I would put into it after school? You know? Man, I-I-I can't even imagine what lowball offer he let it go for.
And what's the second? Um The way I ghosted when I enlisted.
Well You deserved better, all right? Should've never done that to a best friend.
Maybe Emmet deserved better, too.
You know, rumor has it, your car's still on that ranch.
Yeah, it's probably more run-down than-than he is.
There's only one way to find out for sure.
I'll go along with you if you get up the nerve.
No.
No.
That's pathetic.
I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to No, no, no, no.
No, no.
You know what? I'm just gonna check and make sure Yep, no, I'm-I'm the worst shot on this entire base.
- But apparently you're a deadeye.
- Well, helps me blow off steam when I've had a frustrating day.
You're an officer.
Just, uh, make somebody else do your work.
Not really my style.
Besides Oh, you're-you're a J.
O.
So you got something to prove.
Listen, I'm not sure whether you've seen the memo or not, but there's not really a lot going on in J-Bad these days.
So just do what you're supposed to and you could be sleeping instead of out here shooting.
You know, with everybody so focused on the drawdown, somebody's got to keep their eyes open to the bigger picture.
Not all of us want to just hold up our contracts.
Oh.
I have been accused of being many things before, but a contractor is not one of them.
Then what are you? Offended.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go back to giving this target its stay of execution.
Good night.
Good night.
Sorry about that.
I'm very sorry.
Oh, it's okay.
He's fine.
No, he's quite bad, actually.
I can keep young men like him from running off to war, but it seems I cannot teach them to serve customers.
Well, you're doing a good thing, giving him something to do.
Yeah, good for our city.
Bad for my business.
Hey, hey, whoa.
I hoped you saved some for us.
That's all I got to say, huh? You all got a front-row seat to the mortar fireworks yesterday.
Yeah, you got any idea who was taking potshots at us? - No.
- We've got a lot of enemies in the two decades we've been here.
There's a lot of threats out there.
Nobody's paying it much mind.
Brass has to validate the drawdown.
Right.
The brass has to validate the drawdown.
God forbid a little war gets in the way of the peace process.
- Please tell me that's an op.
- No.
There was a-a letter published in the Post, says how Ambassador Marsden wasn't at fault and died a hero.
What about all that BS about her running guns and starting a tribal war? Explained how it couldn't be true.
D.
C.
's eating crow saying they were working off bad Intel.
That's-that's great.
I mean, she deserved to be cleared.
Yeah, it was messed up, what they tried to do to her.
They said who wrote the letter? It was anonymous, sent to her husband, who then send it to the Post.
But clearly whoever it is had details about Yemen.
Well, at least it's put to bed for now.
The false narrative might be put to bed, but whoever took out the bogus hit job on Marsden, they're not gonna be happy.
- Look who it is.
- Yo.
Davis found something for us.
What do you got? So, going over the remaining target packages, and Charlie Team was trying to locate a weapons cache but never found it.
- I did.
- Looking for weapons isn't that more of a gig for regular Army? Well, at least we're going outside the wire.
I mean, it's not the sexiest op, - but it's something.
- The cache is believed to be a spot where the Haqqani network has dumped off a bunch of their weapons.
I'm not trying to dampen the mood, but correct me if I'm wrong didn't we shut down the Haqqani network, - like, a couple years ago? - Look, I didn't say this was the hottest target on the board.
But we never found where the network was hiding their weapons, so this could be a treasure trove.
Exactly, and those weapons get in the wrong hands, someone could make a lot of noise.
A lot.
All right, how many enemy on target? ISR is showing no activity outside; inside's unknown.
All right.
We hit it tonight.
Sundown, wheels up.
That's it.
Let's go, boys.
Come on.
What's up? - I think I've been here before.
- Yeah? Yeah.
Nothing on the blackside.
All right, we'll go through the front door.
Havoc, this is 1.
We pass Mustang.
Let's move.
On you.
He came in here.
Yeah, well, he didn't just disappear.
Trent, Thirty, dresser.
Flush him out.
Ray? On me.
Roger that.
How the hell did he know that? Got him? Come on.
Pull him out.
Let's see what these boys are hiding.
Okay, Cerberus, check here.
Good boy.
Hey.
You believe Jason's clearing the same building over again? I mean, this guy knows Afghanistan better than he knows his own home.
Talk to me, man.
Where is it? Where? Where? Ray! He's just praying.
Check here.
Yeah? - Yeah? - I've got something.
Clear it.
Clear it.
Clear it.
Clear it.
- Clear it.
- Hey.
Bring Full Metal in.
- Switch-switch with Brock.
- Get it.
Let's go.
Pull that.
Yep.
- Bravo 1! - Yeah? You're gonna want to see this.
You got to be kidding me.
Take a look.
So much for a treasure trove.
This is a dry hole.
I take it this means you didn't interpret yesterday's dry hole as evidence justifying the drawdown? No.
No, 'cause somebody knew where those weapons were and they have a plan for 'em.
You got anything to back that up? These are all the SIGACTS in our area of operation.
Compared to the activity in our A.
O.
last time we were here, this is nothing.
Makes it look like peace with Taliban is working.
But looks can be deceiving.
These are all the SIGACTS from Marine and Army units in surrounding A.
O.
s.
Things are crazy along the border.
The limited action here has given us a false sense of security, but all of this activity on the border, this indicates that the enemy is close by.
And somebody is just waiting to take advantage of us leaving.
I mean, the-the dots are all there.
But you're still missing the hard Intel that connects them.
And to do that, I need access to Intel from sources other than SOCOM.
Even some that don't always like to share.
I'll see what I can do.
There used to be a couple hundred head of cattle up there.
Wow.
What's he done to this place? Hannah Oliver.
Hey there, Emmet.
You are a sight for sore eyes, young lady.
Ah Ah, I appreciate you coming all the way up here and classing up the place.
Always happy to help.
Though, uh, need I be concerned about you maybe falling into some bad habits or something, considering the company you're keeping lately? Now, don't worry.
We ain't gonna be staying for long.
Figured you got a better place to be.
Actually, I brought dinner.
Well I guess I'll set the table, then.
You bamboozled me.
Well, he's probably lonely out here.
Yeah, well, that's what happens when you push everyone in your life away from you.
Damn it, dork, you winged me, man.
Sorry, dude.
A little itchy trigger finger here.
Can you blame me? Not with this feeling like a Gucci deployment.
Minus the fun stuff.
Waste of a Tier One asset, sending us here, man.
Russia, China and Iran expanding their footprints, we'd be better served elsewhere.
Is it me or does Clay talk more cake-eater than pipe-hitter? I told you, man, my boy's bilingual.
That's why Lindell was trying to recruit his ass for STA-21.
But he didn't get him.
Wait.
Is this what your girlfriend was talking about when she asked if you'd told the team yet? You listening in on my Skype calls? Uh, more like watching.
I mean, she's stupid hot and I've been downrange for months.
Wait a minute.
Nah.
What's he talking about, Clay? Hey.
Let's go.
Let's move.
All right? We were sloppy on target yesterday, all right? Come on.
Get up.
All right, stop with the juice.
Let's go.
Put the book down.
Let's move.
Let's get our stuff together, come on.
Hello? Is it something I said? Nah, Clay was about to tell us - about STA-21.
- STA-21? That's put to bed.
Nothing to say about it.
Isn't that right, Clay? Clay? I accepted Lindell's offer.
Son of a bitch.
Clay, let him cool down, man.
Clay! Hey.
I should've told you sooner, man.
Three years of dealing with your ego and your second-guessing, and this is the thanks I get? Jace, I appreciate everything you've done for me, man, I do.
It's not personal.
You're telling me not to take this personal? You come to deployment with one foot out the door and you're telling me not to take this personal? Now my team has to suffer because of this distraction.
Thank you.
- This distraction? - Yeah.
Distraction.
A d-distraction from what? From watching this-this base just disappear? Jace, there's nothing happening here, man.
- What ? - Nothing happening, so what are you gonna do, huh? You just gonna jump off the speeding train, is that what you're gonna do? - Jump off the speeding train? - Yeah.
Yeah.
Look around, man the speeding train has become a merry-go-round.
You're hitting the same targets that you hit years ago, this whole place is coming down, and now, now we're making peace with our enemy? That is not my concern.
My job is my mission and the safety of my men.
That's my job.
Got it? - That's my concern.
- Yeah.
Exactly.
Team guys like you have suffered so much executing the mission here.
Look at Trent.
Look at Trent's arm! Look at all of our brothers on that plaque.
Look how much sacrifice we have made.
- Read the papers.
The - Read the papers? The brass now admits that they mishandled this war.
That's great, right? So what, are you gonna be with the brain trust now, is that what you want to do? You want to be with the brain trust? Look, I want to be in a position where I can help reshape how these wars are fought, so that, that way, operators never have to be in this same position again.
My three weeks here has only justified my decision - to change paths.
- You want to change paths, that's what you're gonna do? Fine, pack your bags.
You're heading to COP Redding.
You're gone.
So how you been, Emmet? Well, can't complain.
Still vertical.
Except all you got is the wind to keep you company.
What the hell happened to all the livestock? Someone finally interested in the family business after all these years? Wow, I'm surprised that you even know what that word means.
- Sonny.
- It's all right, darling.
Percival always was a whiner.
Don't ever call me that again.
It's your Christian name.
- I gave it to you.
- Yeah.
That was your first and last act as a father.
All right, go ahead.
Let's hear you rewrite history, boy.
I'm-I'm sorry, maybe I'm mistaken.
But didn't you drop me off at my grandninny's when I was eight years old because you just couldn't cut it? And somehow I managed to put a roof over your head, and you thank me by slipping away, never to look back again.
Oh, yeah.
Can't believe I I didn't yearn for all this: a ranch as empty as the man sitting in front of me.
All right, now, let's try to have a little respect since this is my house.
And you are still my son.
I stopped being your son the day that Mama died.
You do this in your own time, in your own space.
But not at my table.
That's fine, man.
Let's go.
I'm sure that car's probably up on blocks, anyways.
It's in the barn.
This time maybe you're gonna run away in style.
My colleague's been boots on the ground for almost 11 months, so he has access to Intel I don't.
But heads up, he's pretty sure of himself, so if he's toeing the party line, he might not want to help.
Reiss.
This is Ensign Lisa Davis from DEVGRU.
Well, that explains where you learned how to shoot.
You two know each other? Not formally.
I'm, uh, Reiss Julian.
- CIA.
- Mm-hmm.
- Not contractor.
- Mm-hmm.
What can I do? Ensign Davis needs our help.
I think the peace process is a dam that's about to break.
Okay.
Coming in hot.
I have a limited scope of Intel, but there's been an increase in IED attacks and direct fire engagements just outside the A.
O.
As soon as we leave, the enemy's coming here.
Right.
A power vacuum.
Attitude around here seems to be that'll be the Taliban's problem once we're gone.
We can at least figure out who might be coming.
I'd like access to everything that you've put together.
Interview transcripts, Intel from sources.
Listen, your intentions are in the right place, and I don't necessarily disagree with you.
But I can't shift priorities away from this drawdown just based on a hunch.
This is pointless.
This car's probably been rotting since I left.
'Cause old Emmet only cares about himself.
Wow.
Huh.
Kind of makes you wonder what else you've been wrong about, Sonny Quinn.
Yeah.
You think I'm wearin' down I'm movin' for the kill You think you can count me out, yeah You're in my wheelhouse You're in my wheelhouse Uh, hey.
Let me know when you're done over here.
We could use a bar in JSOC, too, liven up this deployment.
The op's tempo's messing with your rhythm, too? Yeah, not as bad as you, though.
How's the team? The team's got their heads all over the place.
It's just Ray's concerned about his family, he wants to be back.
And Clay, well, you know, Clay's just concerned about his new career, so I hear you're sending him to COP Redding.
I'm sending him to COP Redding because he is a distraction right now.
He's messing with the team dynamics, he doesn't need to be here, he's not focused.
So he's out.
Natalie a distraction, too? - Oh, you got to be kidding me.
- Is that why you banished her? Natalie? Sorry, Ray told me.
Yeah.
I thought you guys were good together.
Yeah.
My priority is my team right now.
Can't have my head all over the place.
When Bravo is in the sandbox, I'm here, I'm focused.
Doing my job.
Sheepdog protects his flock.
It doesn't leave much room for anything else.
Well, you know, that's called sacrifice, Mandy.
What are you protecting Bravo from? Three months of peace talks and dry holes? Still a war zone.
We're in Afghanistan.
It's a war zone.
Danger around every corner, so, yeah, Bravo needs me to keep my eye on the target.
Maybe you need it more than they do.
What's that mean? It means that convincing yourself that Bravo's under threat is a way of justifying your decisions.
- Stay safe out there.
- All right.
That's a good boy.
- Hey, you take care, bro.
- Yeah.
- Yo.
- All right, listen up.
key leader engagement is taking place between an Afghan National Army contingent, the U.
S.
State Department, and now that they're considered a legitimate government entity, the Taliban.
The KLE will be taking place at a Taliban compound, approximately 30 klicks away.
There will be an ISR platform overhead the entire time.
So, ROE? This is a strategic-level diplomatic mission.
If you have to shoulder your rifles, things have gone sideways.
Oh, are we supposed to win 'em over with our hearts and minds now? What happens if they're not actually here to make peace? After years of war, everybody wants peace.
So we're just personal security detail? - Right? - Yeah.
All right, look, we'll run two trucks, uh Up-armored SUV is the principal.
Trent, I want you to ride in the lead car.
- Negative.
- Negative? No.
You'll be providing security for our State Department representative here.
However, Bravo Team will not be leading the convoy.
Hold on.
If we're not, then who is? You seeing this? Salaam, my friend.
Even let 'em in the gates now, huh? A show of good faith.
The first of many.
Right, is that why you're rolling into the meeting first? You know, you should be riding with us.
Times have changed.
As a representative of the Afghan government, I must go ahead and set up the meeting.
I'll, uh, see you guys in a few hours.
Mm.
Think this is gonna work? I don't know.
I'm more accustomed to war than peace.
We both are.
War needs men like us.
Men like us need war.
I, for one, got tired of waiting for a day we no longer had to fight.
You will, too, one day.
Nah, man, I got a lot of people counting on me to stay in the fight, my friend.
I might be one of them.
This is Afghanistan, after all.
All right, look.
You know what? We've been dealing with these clowns for years, man.
There's no need to be careless, you understand? What, you think we're being set up? The fighting's got to stop sometime.
18 years is enough.
Who decides that, them or us? Bravo 1, this is Havoc.
Jack Daniel' TOT is 1:20.
You're five mikes out.
Roger that.
We're on this track straight through.
We're almost there.
We're getting channelized ahead.
Check out the terrain.
I'm less worried about the terrain than our new friends up ahead.
We have to at least try and trust them, J.
There's a lot riding on this KLE, man.
Come on, "trust" and the "Taliban"? Those two words don't go together, Ray, you know that.
Uh, they're stopping.
All stop.
It's not a planned stop.
We're almost to the compound.
Bravo 1, this is Havoc Base.
Be advised you have what appears to be enemy activity in the hills, left flank, about 400 meters.
How copy? That's good copy.
J, if this is an ambush, we need to get off the "X".
There's no cover out here.
If this was an ambush, Ray, the Tali trucks would have moved out already.
Trent, get some glass on those hills.
Call it when you see it.
Ray, cover me.
Copy that.
If they're there, I'm not seeing 'em.
Can you understand what they're saying? No, they-they're talking over each other, talking too fast.
Something's got 'em spooked, though.
Those guys look twitchy.
We're gonna get chewed up if we don't pull out of here.
Yeah, he's right.
Jace, they're looking twitchy.
Someone's gonna get scared, open up.
Then I suggest it be us.
Look a body count's not gonna help our mission.
Lower the weapons.
Lower the weapons.
Low port, guys.
No, no, no.
Hey.
Let's go.
Let's just lower the guns.
Lower the guns.
Salaam.
No, no, no, no.
Lower the guns.
That's it.
Lower.
See? It's so easy.
Vehicle 2.
Stay with DOS, ANA.
We'll call you when we're clear.
Trent, Ray, Thirty Mike, you're with me.
Let's go.
Havoc, this is 1.
I need an ISR sitrep.
Need to know what's coming on our flank.
Bravo 1, this is Havoc Base.
Unknowns are moving away from the meeting site.
There's Jack Daniels' car.
The place looks like a ghost town.
Ray.
J! Private Elliott Mounds.
We, uh, don't get many visitors out here besides resupplies.
I hear you're with the SEAL teams.
Clay.
Yeah.
That's COP Redding.
Welcome to the suck.
Did you know the massacre was gonna happen? No.
Of course not.
But you did.
Cutting off the victims' hands means somebody thinks those peacemakers are traitors.
Or do you still think I'm just going off a hunch? I think that you have uncovered the next chapter in this bloody war.
So whatever you need it's yours.
At first I thought you were just gunning for recognition.
But what you're looking for is gonna be much harder to find.
Wait, you're not shooting tonight? Nah.
But maybe we could grab dinner sometime.
I know this great chow hall.
Have fun blowing off steam.
You got a lot of work to do.
We lost a brother today: JD.
So we honor him by doing what we do, and that's fight.
And we fight for each other.
So, to Jack Daniels.
To Jack.
Yeah.
You good? Yeah, I just, uh can't get that image of Jack's hand out of my head.
Yeah.
Someone's looking for a fight, Ray.
We're gonna need Clay if it comes down to that.
Yeah.
A lot of good that's gonna be.
His head's already stuck at STA-21.
You can't fault the kid, brother, I mean, he still thinks he's fighting to change the world.
What are you fighting for, Ray? What are you fighting for? I left my family making a home without me, what, to come out here and run out the clock while this country finds a new way to implode? I Three-foot world.
Affect what you can control.
The rest will take care of itself.
I got to make it home, J.
I can't have Jameelah spending the rest of her life thinking her father was a liar.
The rest will take care of itself.
I got your back, buddy.
You're gonna make it home.
Get in there and call Naima.
Everything's gonna be good.
- Gonna be good.
- Tell her I said hello.
Yeah.
Hey don't you got a call to make back in the hooch? Nah.
I'm exactly where I need to be.
Copy that.
Quinn assaulted a patron at a Washington, D.
C.
pub, and this is how I'm handling it.
Petty Officer Quinn will travel to Laughlin Air Force base tomorrow for six weeks of advanced armory school.
How in the hell did Lindell find out what happened in D.
C.
? You happen to tell him at one of your private meetings? - Why would I do that? - Well, the teacher's pet does need his star, doesn't he? - He's pushing me for STA-21.
- I knew it! - I haven't said yes.
- Well, no, you haven't said no, - either, have you? - I really thought that I could be all in with Bravo and with you.
And I was wrong.
Bravo Team needs me more than you do right now.
You're definitely coming back? Promise you won't die over there? I promise.
Teena says she'll go with you.
Baby, I-I don't Yeah.
Be honest.
Does this look like the same one I snapped yesterday? It's the same picture, Ray.
Documenting Teena's time in Afghanistan - is a great way to stay in touch with - Take the doll - Put the doll away.
- No, it's a great way to stay close - with Jameelah.
Let her know - Put it away.
Daddy's safe.
- I can take one for you for Natalie if you want.
- No, that's okay.
- Yeah - What is up with this place, huh? I mean, look at it, it's like Seems like everybody's clocking out.
Well, that's 'cause they are, brother.
I mean, it's a base closure and a troop drawdown.
Everybody's trying to give peace a chance.
Yeah, well, it's Afghanistan.
Danger lurking around every corner.
- You know that.
- Yeah.
Well, you can wait on that danger to come along, but me? Since I told my daughter I was gonna make it home, I'm not complaining about how quiet things are.
Jason Hayes.
- Ray Perry.
- Wow.
I heard a rumor Bravo was back.
Jack Daniels, my man look at him.
Wait a second.
Got the same watch on I gave him last time, huh? - Good as new.
- Man, haven't seen you in a few deployments.
- Yeah, I know.
- Not since he gave me this watch.
And it's still running, isn't it? Not sure I can say the same for us.
Yeah, man, you know you rode shotgun with us on some of our hairiest ops, brother.
My wife and children are glad - they're behind me.
- So, what's up? You still, uh, interpreting for SOCOM? No, I am working with the Ministry of Interior now.
Hopefully bringing some stability to my country.
So you're the reason my team is so bored.
If I do my job right, Jason, you'll be bored for months.
Been three weeks since we arrived.
- Bravo's getting antsy.
- With the drawdown, there's not a lot of kinetic action out there for Tier One operators.
What about targeting packages from past teams? I need more Intel, but I'm hitting roadblocks.
All the other agencies seem focused on the upcoming key leader engagement.
Peace with the Taliban.
Never thought I'd see the day.
You know, something tells me you both think that's a bad idea.
This country hasn't seen peace in ages, so our departure's gonna cause some growing pains.
- Violent ones.
- Jeopardizing all the progress we've made in the past two decades.
Yeah, you're probably right, but nobody around here wants to hear that, so I suggest you not make any waves.
Picked up these secrets from a Snake Eater in Kunduz.
Hand-roasted beans.
Burr grind.
I must've schwacked two dozen bad guys on that pump.
Every story includes a body count.
Eh, Thirty Mike just saying words.
Words with dollar signs attached to them.
Some publisher's gonna make it rain for my memoir of all the ninja ops I rolled on.
And we'll find it in the fiction section.
Nice job, T.
All right.
Settle in, boys.
Papa needs to make this shot right here.
- 50 bucks you miss.
- All right.
Finally get a little action around here.
Oh! Yes! That tab's getting up there, buddy.
Someone, uh, want to explain this to me? - Huh? - Well, since a, uh, "volunteer" has to go babysit those little Army boots in that COP Redding bullet sponge, we have decided that the loser of the Camp Larkin Open has to go.
It's not so bad out there.
I had a forbidden thing with a local smoke show years ago.
- No, you didn't.
- I vote that we find someone else from Charlie Team to fill in for Sonny.
Yeah, uh, Thirty Mike is an acquired taste.
Speaking of, has anybody heard from Sonny? Did they hit 'em up? No.
Radio silent.
Honestly, it's probably better that he's not here, though.
He'd be climbing the frickin' walls with us just sitting around like this.
You can't complain about the op tempo, man.
It's nice not being shot at for a little while.
You know, the Ray Perry I met a dozen years ago would kick your ass for saying that.
- Oh, yeah? - Uh-huh.
So what, we're just gonna play golf and work on our tans all deployment? My guess is we're sidelined as a way to show the Taliban our commitment towards a drawdown.
Bunch of Tier One operators start making hits, and they got to worry we have an agenda.
Wow, pretty and smart.
You know, you should think about joining the real pipe hitters on Charlie Team.
Clay's not going nowhere.
Except COP Redding.
Oh Sorry, Trent.
Only thing worse than doing nothing here is doing nothing alone.
What's your poison? I'll get a-a whiskey, neat.
Thank you, Miss Hannah.
Sonny Quinn.
In the flesh.
I like the beard.
It's a definite upgrade from that sad little caterpillar above your lip in eighth grade.
Oh, yeah? Well, greatness comes from humble beginnings.
So, you work here now? I own here now.
Saved up and bought the place a few years back.
- From humble beginnings.
- Ah.
Well, huh.
You've been busy, huh? You've been M.
I.
A.
Yeah.
So of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, what brings you into mine this afternoon? Well, uh, you know, I'm gonna be working over in Laughlin for a while, so I was remembering, you know, just all the hell-raising that we used to do in this place.
Oh, man, oh, man.
So I figured I'd just come on by and see if it was still standing.
Telling me you drove all this way to see if this place still smells like stale beer? Yes, ma'am.
Come on, Sonny.
After all these years, I can still tell when you're hiding something.
Is that right? - Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
What the hell's Team America doing now? It looks like he's trying to put the bar back together.
Whole base is coming down, he's building it back up.
Dude is in denial.
Mm-hmm.
It's got to be easier than the truth.
You know, coming here for the ninth time, witnessing a drawdown and watching us making peace with the enemy.
Clay.
Let's help the man.
Come on.
What you doing, Bob Vila? Well, I figured, uh Get the end of that and push it together, all right? I figure we're gonna be at, uh, Camp Larkin for a while, so let's turn it back into our home.
Get the bar up.
Come on.
- Ready? - Yeah.
All the fallen SEALs who lived at Larkin.
All these boys made the ultimate sacrifice.
It is on us right now, it's on us to make sure that, uh, no one else is added to this.
- J.
- Yeah? - Eddie Guzman.
- Yeah.
- Your old team leader? - Yeah.
Wonder what he would say if he knew we were making friends with Tali.
He wouldn't say a damn thing.
He'd just spit out some chew and keep working.
Anyone who says otherwise is a damn liar.
No, he'd say he went down fighting for the rest of us.
That's what he would say.
You know what? You can save that crap for the Bravo kids you've been spoon-feeding it to for the last ten years.
I knew you before you were you.
You just reminded me why Bravo Team kicked you down to Charlie Team decades ago.
- You know what's funny? - What? How I'm back because Bravo 1 couldn't keep his team together.
Still have problems with the truth, don't you, Thirty Mike? - It's okay.
You'll grow up someday.
- The truth.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Truth.
- Yeah, like, with what happened to CuJo? - Hey.
- Yo, man.
Seriously? What's wrong with you, man? Mortar? Told you, Ray.
Still Afghanistan.
Now that's some tale.
This Lindell fellow sounds like a real villain.
Well, I must've told it right, then, because he is.
The part where your teammates turn on you? Betrayed by your brothers? Damn near Shakespearean.
Mm-hmm.
Does that, uh, that make me the tragic hero? Well, that's up to you.
Plan on going home while you're here? I, uh, I popped by a few weeks ago.
- Really? How'd that go? - Yeah.
It was brief.
Yeah, it appears that Emmet didn't learn, uh, how to be a father while I was away.
There's a lot of history between you two.
Yeah, and none of it pretty.
I always thought he was the strongest man in the world.
You know, h-his voice would send a shiver up my spine, and he could corral a-a team of wild horses.
Lot of time has passed.
Might be worth giving him a chance.
Oh, no, no.
Listen, I will pay for my own liquor here if I don't have to listen to you plead a case for I'm not pleading anything.
I'm a neutral third party - just looking to make peace.
- All right.
- Okay.
- He comes in here every now and then.
He's always alone.
You know, I only got two regrets.
The first was leaving my Trans Am behind.
Okay? You remember, like, all-all that-that time and hard work and money I would put into it after school? You know? Man, I-I-I can't even imagine what lowball offer he let it go for.
And what's the second? Um The way I ghosted when I enlisted.
Well You deserved better, all right? Should've never done that to a best friend.
Maybe Emmet deserved better, too.
You know, rumor has it, your car's still on that ranch.
Yeah, it's probably more run-down than-than he is.
There's only one way to find out for sure.
I'll go along with you if you get up the nerve.
No.
No.
That's pathetic.
I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to No, no, no, no.
No, no.
You know what? I'm just gonna check and make sure Yep, no, I'm-I'm the worst shot on this entire base.
- But apparently you're a deadeye.
- Well, helps me blow off steam when I've had a frustrating day.
You're an officer.
Just, uh, make somebody else do your work.
Not really my style.
Besides Oh, you're-you're a J.
O.
So you got something to prove.
Listen, I'm not sure whether you've seen the memo or not, but there's not really a lot going on in J-Bad these days.
So just do what you're supposed to and you could be sleeping instead of out here shooting.
You know, with everybody so focused on the drawdown, somebody's got to keep their eyes open to the bigger picture.
Not all of us want to just hold up our contracts.
Oh.
I have been accused of being many things before, but a contractor is not one of them.
Then what are you? Offended.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go back to giving this target its stay of execution.
Good night.
Good night.
Sorry about that.
I'm very sorry.
Oh, it's okay.
He's fine.
No, he's quite bad, actually.
I can keep young men like him from running off to war, but it seems I cannot teach them to serve customers.
Well, you're doing a good thing, giving him something to do.
Yeah, good for our city.
Bad for my business.
Hey, hey, whoa.
I hoped you saved some for us.
That's all I got to say, huh? You all got a front-row seat to the mortar fireworks yesterday.
Yeah, you got any idea who was taking potshots at us? - No.
- We've got a lot of enemies in the two decades we've been here.
There's a lot of threats out there.
Nobody's paying it much mind.
Brass has to validate the drawdown.
Right.
The brass has to validate the drawdown.
God forbid a little war gets in the way of the peace process.
- Please tell me that's an op.
- No.
There was a-a letter published in the Post, says how Ambassador Marsden wasn't at fault and died a hero.
What about all that BS about her running guns and starting a tribal war? Explained how it couldn't be true.
D.
C.
's eating crow saying they were working off bad Intel.
That's-that's great.
I mean, she deserved to be cleared.
Yeah, it was messed up, what they tried to do to her.
They said who wrote the letter? It was anonymous, sent to her husband, who then send it to the Post.
But clearly whoever it is had details about Yemen.
Well, at least it's put to bed for now.
The false narrative might be put to bed, but whoever took out the bogus hit job on Marsden, they're not gonna be happy.
- Look who it is.
- Yo.
Davis found something for us.
What do you got? So, going over the remaining target packages, and Charlie Team was trying to locate a weapons cache but never found it.
- I did.
- Looking for weapons isn't that more of a gig for regular Army? Well, at least we're going outside the wire.
I mean, it's not the sexiest op, - but it's something.
- The cache is believed to be a spot where the Haqqani network has dumped off a bunch of their weapons.
I'm not trying to dampen the mood, but correct me if I'm wrong didn't we shut down the Haqqani network, - like, a couple years ago? - Look, I didn't say this was the hottest target on the board.
But we never found where the network was hiding their weapons, so this could be a treasure trove.
Exactly, and those weapons get in the wrong hands, someone could make a lot of noise.
A lot.
All right, how many enemy on target? ISR is showing no activity outside; inside's unknown.
All right.
We hit it tonight.
Sundown, wheels up.
That's it.
Let's go, boys.
Come on.
What's up? - I think I've been here before.
- Yeah? Yeah.
Nothing on the blackside.
All right, we'll go through the front door.
Havoc, this is 1.
We pass Mustang.
Let's move.
On you.
He came in here.
Yeah, well, he didn't just disappear.
Trent, Thirty, dresser.
Flush him out.
Ray? On me.
Roger that.
How the hell did he know that? Got him? Come on.
Pull him out.
Let's see what these boys are hiding.
Okay, Cerberus, check here.
Good boy.
Hey.
You believe Jason's clearing the same building over again? I mean, this guy knows Afghanistan better than he knows his own home.
Talk to me, man.
Where is it? Where? Where? Ray! He's just praying.
Check here.
Yeah? - Yeah? - I've got something.
Clear it.
Clear it.
Clear it.
Clear it.
- Clear it.
- Hey.
Bring Full Metal in.
- Switch-switch with Brock.
- Get it.
Let's go.
Pull that.
Yep.
- Bravo 1! - Yeah? You're gonna want to see this.
You got to be kidding me.
Take a look.
So much for a treasure trove.
This is a dry hole.
I take it this means you didn't interpret yesterday's dry hole as evidence justifying the drawdown? No.
No, 'cause somebody knew where those weapons were and they have a plan for 'em.
You got anything to back that up? These are all the SIGACTS in our area of operation.
Compared to the activity in our A.
O.
last time we were here, this is nothing.
Makes it look like peace with Taliban is working.
But looks can be deceiving.
These are all the SIGACTS from Marine and Army units in surrounding A.
O.
s.
Things are crazy along the border.
The limited action here has given us a false sense of security, but all of this activity on the border, this indicates that the enemy is close by.
And somebody is just waiting to take advantage of us leaving.
I mean, the-the dots are all there.
But you're still missing the hard Intel that connects them.
And to do that, I need access to Intel from sources other than SOCOM.
Even some that don't always like to share.
I'll see what I can do.
There used to be a couple hundred head of cattle up there.
Wow.
What's he done to this place? Hannah Oliver.
Hey there, Emmet.
You are a sight for sore eyes, young lady.
Ah Ah, I appreciate you coming all the way up here and classing up the place.
Always happy to help.
Though, uh, need I be concerned about you maybe falling into some bad habits or something, considering the company you're keeping lately? Now, don't worry.
We ain't gonna be staying for long.
Figured you got a better place to be.
Actually, I brought dinner.
Well I guess I'll set the table, then.
You bamboozled me.
Well, he's probably lonely out here.
Yeah, well, that's what happens when you push everyone in your life away from you.
Damn it, dork, you winged me, man.
Sorry, dude.
A little itchy trigger finger here.
Can you blame me? Not with this feeling like a Gucci deployment.
Minus the fun stuff.
Waste of a Tier One asset, sending us here, man.
Russia, China and Iran expanding their footprints, we'd be better served elsewhere.
Is it me or does Clay talk more cake-eater than pipe-hitter? I told you, man, my boy's bilingual.
That's why Lindell was trying to recruit his ass for STA-21.
But he didn't get him.
Wait.
Is this what your girlfriend was talking about when she asked if you'd told the team yet? You listening in on my Skype calls? Uh, more like watching.
I mean, she's stupid hot and I've been downrange for months.
Wait a minute.
Nah.
What's he talking about, Clay? Hey.
Let's go.
Let's move.
All right? We were sloppy on target yesterday, all right? Come on.
Get up.
All right, stop with the juice.
Let's go.
Put the book down.
Let's move.
Let's get our stuff together, come on.
Hello? Is it something I said? Nah, Clay was about to tell us - about STA-21.
- STA-21? That's put to bed.
Nothing to say about it.
Isn't that right, Clay? Clay? I accepted Lindell's offer.
Son of a bitch.
Clay, let him cool down, man.
Clay! Hey.
I should've told you sooner, man.
Three years of dealing with your ego and your second-guessing, and this is the thanks I get? Jace, I appreciate everything you've done for me, man, I do.
It's not personal.
You're telling me not to take this personal? You come to deployment with one foot out the door and you're telling me not to take this personal? Now my team has to suffer because of this distraction.
Thank you.
- This distraction? - Yeah.
Distraction.
A d-distraction from what? From watching this-this base just disappear? Jace, there's nothing happening here, man.
- What ? - Nothing happening, so what are you gonna do, huh? You just gonna jump off the speeding train, is that what you're gonna do? - Jump off the speeding train? - Yeah.
Yeah.
Look around, man the speeding train has become a merry-go-round.
You're hitting the same targets that you hit years ago, this whole place is coming down, and now, now we're making peace with our enemy? That is not my concern.
My job is my mission and the safety of my men.
That's my job.
Got it? - That's my concern.
- Yeah.
Exactly.
Team guys like you have suffered so much executing the mission here.
Look at Trent.
Look at Trent's arm! Look at all of our brothers on that plaque.
Look how much sacrifice we have made.
- Read the papers.
The - Read the papers? The brass now admits that they mishandled this war.
That's great, right? So what, are you gonna be with the brain trust now, is that what you want to do? You want to be with the brain trust? Look, I want to be in a position where I can help reshape how these wars are fought, so that, that way, operators never have to be in this same position again.
My three weeks here has only justified my decision - to change paths.
- You want to change paths, that's what you're gonna do? Fine, pack your bags.
You're heading to COP Redding.
You're gone.
So how you been, Emmet? Well, can't complain.
Still vertical.
Except all you got is the wind to keep you company.
What the hell happened to all the livestock? Someone finally interested in the family business after all these years? Wow, I'm surprised that you even know what that word means.
- Sonny.
- It's all right, darling.
Percival always was a whiner.
Don't ever call me that again.
It's your Christian name.
- I gave it to you.
- Yeah.
That was your first and last act as a father.
All right, go ahead.
Let's hear you rewrite history, boy.
I'm-I'm sorry, maybe I'm mistaken.
But didn't you drop me off at my grandninny's when I was eight years old because you just couldn't cut it? And somehow I managed to put a roof over your head, and you thank me by slipping away, never to look back again.
Oh, yeah.
Can't believe I I didn't yearn for all this: a ranch as empty as the man sitting in front of me.
All right, now, let's try to have a little respect since this is my house.
And you are still my son.
I stopped being your son the day that Mama died.
You do this in your own time, in your own space.
But not at my table.
That's fine, man.
Let's go.
I'm sure that car's probably up on blocks, anyways.
It's in the barn.
This time maybe you're gonna run away in style.
My colleague's been boots on the ground for almost 11 months, so he has access to Intel I don't.
But heads up, he's pretty sure of himself, so if he's toeing the party line, he might not want to help.
Reiss.
This is Ensign Lisa Davis from DEVGRU.
Well, that explains where you learned how to shoot.
You two know each other? Not formally.
I'm, uh, Reiss Julian.
- CIA.
- Mm-hmm.
- Not contractor.
- Mm-hmm.
What can I do? Ensign Davis needs our help.
I think the peace process is a dam that's about to break.
Okay.
Coming in hot.
I have a limited scope of Intel, but there's been an increase in IED attacks and direct fire engagements just outside the A.
O.
As soon as we leave, the enemy's coming here.
Right.
A power vacuum.
Attitude around here seems to be that'll be the Taliban's problem once we're gone.
We can at least figure out who might be coming.
I'd like access to everything that you've put together.
Interview transcripts, Intel from sources.
Listen, your intentions are in the right place, and I don't necessarily disagree with you.
But I can't shift priorities away from this drawdown just based on a hunch.
This is pointless.
This car's probably been rotting since I left.
'Cause old Emmet only cares about himself.
Wow.
Huh.
Kind of makes you wonder what else you've been wrong about, Sonny Quinn.
Yeah.
You think I'm wearin' down I'm movin' for the kill You think you can count me out, yeah You're in my wheelhouse You're in my wheelhouse Uh, hey.
Let me know when you're done over here.
We could use a bar in JSOC, too, liven up this deployment.
The op's tempo's messing with your rhythm, too? Yeah, not as bad as you, though.
How's the team? The team's got their heads all over the place.
It's just Ray's concerned about his family, he wants to be back.
And Clay, well, you know, Clay's just concerned about his new career, so I hear you're sending him to COP Redding.
I'm sending him to COP Redding because he is a distraction right now.
He's messing with the team dynamics, he doesn't need to be here, he's not focused.
So he's out.
Natalie a distraction, too? - Oh, you got to be kidding me.
- Is that why you banished her? Natalie? Sorry, Ray told me.
Yeah.
I thought you guys were good together.
Yeah.
My priority is my team right now.
Can't have my head all over the place.
When Bravo is in the sandbox, I'm here, I'm focused.
Doing my job.
Sheepdog protects his flock.
It doesn't leave much room for anything else.
Well, you know, that's called sacrifice, Mandy.
What are you protecting Bravo from? Three months of peace talks and dry holes? Still a war zone.
We're in Afghanistan.
It's a war zone.
Danger around every corner, so, yeah, Bravo needs me to keep my eye on the target.
Maybe you need it more than they do.
What's that mean? It means that convincing yourself that Bravo's under threat is a way of justifying your decisions.
- Stay safe out there.
- All right.
That's a good boy.
- Hey, you take care, bro.
- Yeah.
- Yo.
- All right, listen up.
key leader engagement is taking place between an Afghan National Army contingent, the U.
S.
State Department, and now that they're considered a legitimate government entity, the Taliban.
The KLE will be taking place at a Taliban compound, approximately 30 klicks away.
There will be an ISR platform overhead the entire time.
So, ROE? This is a strategic-level diplomatic mission.
If you have to shoulder your rifles, things have gone sideways.
Oh, are we supposed to win 'em over with our hearts and minds now? What happens if they're not actually here to make peace? After years of war, everybody wants peace.
So we're just personal security detail? - Right? - Yeah.
All right, look, we'll run two trucks, uh Up-armored SUV is the principal.
Trent, I want you to ride in the lead car.
- Negative.
- Negative? No.
You'll be providing security for our State Department representative here.
However, Bravo Team will not be leading the convoy.
Hold on.
If we're not, then who is? You seeing this? Salaam, my friend.
Even let 'em in the gates now, huh? A show of good faith.
The first of many.
Right, is that why you're rolling into the meeting first? You know, you should be riding with us.
Times have changed.
As a representative of the Afghan government, I must go ahead and set up the meeting.
I'll, uh, see you guys in a few hours.
Mm.
Think this is gonna work? I don't know.
I'm more accustomed to war than peace.
We both are.
War needs men like us.
Men like us need war.
I, for one, got tired of waiting for a day we no longer had to fight.
You will, too, one day.
Nah, man, I got a lot of people counting on me to stay in the fight, my friend.
I might be one of them.
This is Afghanistan, after all.
All right, look.
You know what? We've been dealing with these clowns for years, man.
There's no need to be careless, you understand? What, you think we're being set up? The fighting's got to stop sometime.
18 years is enough.
Who decides that, them or us? Bravo 1, this is Havoc.
Jack Daniel' TOT is 1:20.
You're five mikes out.
Roger that.
We're on this track straight through.
We're almost there.
We're getting channelized ahead.
Check out the terrain.
I'm less worried about the terrain than our new friends up ahead.
We have to at least try and trust them, J.
There's a lot riding on this KLE, man.
Come on, "trust" and the "Taliban"? Those two words don't go together, Ray, you know that.
Uh, they're stopping.
All stop.
It's not a planned stop.
We're almost to the compound.
Bravo 1, this is Havoc Base.
Be advised you have what appears to be enemy activity in the hills, left flank, about 400 meters.
How copy? That's good copy.
J, if this is an ambush, we need to get off the "X".
There's no cover out here.
If this was an ambush, Ray, the Tali trucks would have moved out already.
Trent, get some glass on those hills.
Call it when you see it.
Ray, cover me.
Copy that.
If they're there, I'm not seeing 'em.
Can you understand what they're saying? No, they-they're talking over each other, talking too fast.
Something's got 'em spooked, though.
Those guys look twitchy.
We're gonna get chewed up if we don't pull out of here.
Yeah, he's right.
Jace, they're looking twitchy.
Someone's gonna get scared, open up.
Then I suggest it be us.
Look a body count's not gonna help our mission.
Lower the weapons.
Lower the weapons.
Low port, guys.
No, no, no.
Hey.
Let's go.
Let's just lower the guns.
Lower the guns.
Salaam.
No, no, no, no.
Lower the guns.
That's it.
Lower.
See? It's so easy.
Vehicle 2.
Stay with DOS, ANA.
We'll call you when we're clear.
Trent, Ray, Thirty Mike, you're with me.
Let's go.
Havoc, this is 1.
I need an ISR sitrep.
Need to know what's coming on our flank.
Bravo 1, this is Havoc Base.
Unknowns are moving away from the meeting site.
There's Jack Daniels' car.
The place looks like a ghost town.
Ray.
J! Private Elliott Mounds.
We, uh, don't get many visitors out here besides resupplies.
I hear you're with the SEAL teams.
Clay.
Yeah.
That's COP Redding.
Welcome to the suck.
Did you know the massacre was gonna happen? No.
Of course not.
But you did.
Cutting off the victims' hands means somebody thinks those peacemakers are traitors.
Or do you still think I'm just going off a hunch? I think that you have uncovered the next chapter in this bloody war.
So whatever you need it's yours.
At first I thought you were just gunning for recognition.
But what you're looking for is gonna be much harder to find.
Wait, you're not shooting tonight? Nah.
But maybe we could grab dinner sometime.
I know this great chow hall.
Have fun blowing off steam.
You got a lot of work to do.
We lost a brother today: JD.
So we honor him by doing what we do, and that's fight.
And we fight for each other.
So, to Jack Daniels.
To Jack.
Yeah.
You good? Yeah, I just, uh can't get that image of Jack's hand out of my head.
Yeah.
Someone's looking for a fight, Ray.
We're gonna need Clay if it comes down to that.
Yeah.
A lot of good that's gonna be.
His head's already stuck at STA-21.
You can't fault the kid, brother, I mean, he still thinks he's fighting to change the world.
What are you fighting for, Ray? What are you fighting for? I left my family making a home without me, what, to come out here and run out the clock while this country finds a new way to implode? I Three-foot world.
Affect what you can control.
The rest will take care of itself.
I got to make it home, J.
I can't have Jameelah spending the rest of her life thinking her father was a liar.
The rest will take care of itself.
I got your back, buddy.
You're gonna make it home.
Get in there and call Naima.
Everything's gonna be good.
- Gonna be good.
- Tell her I said hello.
Yeah.
Hey don't you got a call to make back in the hooch? Nah.
I'm exactly where I need to be.
Copy that.
