SEAL Team (2017) s04e16 Episode Script

1 Previously on SEAL Team If you really want to protect your brothers, you can't just be their sheepdog when you're downrange.
Op last week proved I'm squared away outside the wire.
That's all that matters, right? Take the shot, Ray! Pull it together, man.
- Metal's down! - RPG tore him up.
We are under fire.
I say again, we are under fire.
Figure out who's firing those missiles on the ground? Yes.
Russian contractors.
Blow through! Blow through! Mortars are getting way too close.
You hear me, Ray? Russians are walking those Tootsie Rolls in.
- Ray! - They're bracketing us while they get into position.
These guys know what they're doing.
Matter of time before they're on us.
Push forward! - Push forward! - Push forward! Havoc, this is Bravo 2.
We have incoming mortar fire.
We need air support ASAP.
How copy? Copy, Bravo 2.
Stand by.
Russians are about to drop the hammer.
- Spin up the QRF.
- Flight commander can't send additional support with surface-to-air missiles in the region.
Our boys are gonna get overrun without more boots on the ground.
Tell you what.
Look, we approach from the north, we can avoid the SAMs, right? We fly Nap of the earth, hills should help us avoid the MANPADs.
Rest of your crew will agree? No chance they'll leave your boys behind.
I'll get the bird prepped.
It's gonna get messy out there.
You two know what you're asking? Yes, sir.
Give me two minutes to kit up.
Need all the guns you can get.
What's the plan? Ray's in Look, the team's in trouble.
We bust our ass to get to them.
Long as that SAM launcher's online, doesn't matter how much backup we give Bravo.
Best way to help is to take out those missiles first.
Havoc, this is 1.
Requesting coordinates for the enemy MANPADs.
Roger that, Bravo 1.
Stand by.
Any word from the Nigerians? Still engaging Boko.
No assets to send as reinforcements.
So our cavalry's three operators.
Yeah.
Sir, I'm requesting clearance for air support in Nigeria.
The presence of Russian-sponsored contractors puts our operators at risk from a more sophisticated enemy.
Well, you're not wrong, Lieutenant, but there's concern it'll look like we're sending an American invasion force to kill Russian civilians and secure an oil pipeline.
You're worried about optics? I'm worried about our men on the ground, but the politics means this isn't Command's call.
Got to run it up the line.
Well, if anyone can make it happen, it's you.
Good luck.
They're on the "X"! Lay it down! Going down! Yes! Yes! Secondary infil route will run us past the SAM position.
Let's split up.
I want two on foot patrol, third on overwatch.
- Copy.
- Negative.
I want you on my maneuver side.
- I'll set up as a base element.
- Cool.
The hell? I'm taking serious accurate fire up here! Anybody got eyes on the sniper? Oh! Yeah, that's accurate.
Looks like it's from about 300 meters out to the east.
More than one.
Ray, we can't stay here much longer, man.
Bravo 3, push left.
Light 'em up! - Push left! Push left! - Moving! Bravo actual, this is 1.
What's your status? Moving.
Don't engage until we're on top of them, got it? Yeah.
Shift left! Get left! Moving! We don't have time for this.
- Prep for frag.
- Roger that.
- Frag out? - Frag out.
Back, back, back, back! 2, this is 3.
Sniper team's led us into a belt-fed ambush.
We're not gonna take 'em without more shooters.
Repeat, we are not gonna take 'em without more shooters.
Bravo 3, this is 2.
We're still engaged at our position.
Can't get to you.
Not sure Sonny'll be able to hold out - till Ray can consolidate.
- Ray doesn't stand a chance.
Enemy's way ahead of his decisions.
He's gonna have to dig in.
Collect Soto, get to Sonny.
How're we gonna do that? Havoc, this is 1.
We need immediate air support.
SAMs are down.
Bravo 3, this is 1.
- Heading to your pos in an enemy vehicle.
- Roger that.
Hey! You want to tell me what the hell's going on? We got multiple snipers up on that ridgeline.
We're pinned down by a belt-fed.
- What's the call, Jace? - You tell me! You're in the fight.
Hey! Look at me.
Take a breath and make the call.
We set up a hunter-killer team for that machine gun, and we flank out the sniper position.
How do we split? Have Alpha run that truck east as a maneuver element, and we'll set up base to fire.
Alpha 2, 6.
Take the truck.
Roger that.
Alpha 3, Clay, Brock, light the snipers.
Move! Move! Move! Cover! Bravo 1, this is Alpha 2.
We're set.
Copy that.
I'll take the right.
You go left, Brock.
On me, ready? Three, two, one.
Bravo 1, this is 6.
Enemy snipers are down.
Alpha 2, keep hammering.
Bravo 1, this is Alpha 2.
They're down.
Bravo 2, this is 1.
Enemy snipers and machine gun positions are down.
Tell me what you need.
Over.
We need close air support ASAP.
We're gonna have to fall back soon.
Victor 2-5, how far out are you? Headed your way, Bravo 1.
We're coming in hot.
Helo coming in! Good effects on target, Bravo 1.
Remaining forces are bugging out and going home.
Havoc, this is 1.
The target is secure.
Standing by for RTB.
Copy, 1.
Stand by for partner force.
You okay? Took a few punches, but I'm still standing.
All right.
Thanks for having our six.
Words I bet you never expected to say when we first met, huh? Metal was stable when we left.
All right! Who wants to tell Metal that he missed out on the Red Dawn reboot? Not it! Not it! Yeah, buddy.
Med bay's on the 0-2 level! Metal will smell us before he hears us.
What? His leg injury was aggravated, and a bone shard sliced his femoral artery.
The doctors did everything they could, but Full Metal's gone.
He gave his life for ours.
Shielded us from an RPG.
Took the brunt of it.
Guessing, with Alpha here, we're gonna be relieved from deployment early.
If Metal saves us any time on this ship, he, uh really was a hero to the end.
I'm gonna go talk to Command.
Never seen him lose someone in battle.
The way he was working on Metal in that helo we thought we saved him.
You know, all he's endured, this might be the loss that pushes him over the edge.
No.
Jason's been in longer than any of us.
He has his ways to deal with this.
All those numbers he won't delete from his phone.
Ignore and override? Exactly.
Man had a chance to get out.
He knew what he was coming back to.
No part of this job he can't handle.
So, uh, Metal wanted a burial at sea.
Planning has already begun.
We'll lay him to rest before we depart.
He, uh left this letter with his things.
And, uh in case he got killed in battle, he, uh, wanted this to be read.
So I thought, um "To the knuckleheads of Bravo Team.
So that's it.
I'm gone.
How it happened doesn't matter, but if the details of my demise weren't super ninja, please change them so the tadpoles who come after know Full Metal didn't ride the crazy train he drove it".
"I hope I died a guy and not just a SEAL.
I hope I held the line like those who came before us.
I hope I did my job.
- I know people on the outside" - I know people on the outside look at my life and see emptiness: no wife, no kids, no pets, no plants.
But I married the Teams for a reason.
I loved her with all my heart.
I have no regrets.
If the purpose of life is purpose, I found mine.
My choice was a commitment to serve.
The battlefield was my home.
And if I couldn't live forever, I'm glad I left this world doing what I love most with the people I love most.
I miss you guys already.
Congrats on escaping sea life.
I'd feel better about leaving this ship if I wasn't leaving you here to put up with a predator.
Just really wish that we'd found any other woman that he'd done this to.
And I wish you hadn't given up a shot at your dream job.
Do you think that no one else has come forward because we're really the only two people that have a problem with him? Look, it's scary risk being labeled a troublemaker just for asking to do your job without being harassed.
What? Command Climate Specialist Kang found me an hour ago.
And, uh, apparently, word spread that anyone experiencing unwelcome behavior should speak up.
And among the complaints were five more about Whitshaw.
Turns out the women on this ship are brave.
Are you serious? Mm-hmm.
So, contrary to what you think, you're not leaving me here to deal with a predator on my own.
Thank you.
You know, maybe Metal had it figured out.
The only damage he inflicted was on the battlefield.
You're whistling a different tune there, Blondie McFerrin.
Just trying to figure out how to protect everyone from this job.
You can't.
No matter how hard you try.
This job will come home one too many times.
Bird leaves in ten.
Made a lot of noise for a guy who didn't say much.
First man I lost as OIC.
Asking myself a lot of questions.
Those questions never get answered.
Got a better perspective on mission success now.
Not a victory unless everybody makes it home alive.
Not for you, we'd be heading home down even more men.
Took me a minute, but I get it now.
Bravo couldn't ask for a better sheepdog outside the wire.
Yeah.
Outside the wire.
There he is.
- Cheers.
- Yeah.
Have to say, you looking to me to make that call when the Russians were closing in, well, that was as welcome as a outhouse breeze.
But you came through.
This time.
Got to admit, though, it did did feel pretty damn good, you know? That faith that you put in me, being more than just a shooter.
Oh, it's not the first time the team needed you to step up.
I know I can count on you.
And you need to know that, too.
Yeah, maybe me playing knuckle-dragger keeps expectations low and, you know, prevents me from disappointing people.
That include your kid? My kid's life is gonna be a hell of a lot cleaner without my muddy boots dragged all over it.
Let me tell you something.
My kids, Mikey and Emma they could fill a book with all the things that I've done wrong.
You know, at the end of the day, they don't care that we're flawed frogmen.
All they care about is that we love them and protect them.
We step up, like you did on the battlefield.
- Hmm.
- Except parenting that's a That's a whole lot scarier.
- Ooh.
- Mm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey.
Did you ever think that, uh, when I drafted you, we'd run the, uh, Mogadishu Mile together? I'm just, uh I'm just glad that Boko knows what Bravo can do.
Gonna be seeing a lot of us.
But my future's with Bravo, kicking doors, all in, all the time.
All in, all the time, right.
That doesn't leave you much room for yourself outside of Bravo.
Sacrifices have to be made.
Metal knew that.
Did what he had to do.
Metal did what was best for Metal.
That doesn't mean it's best for you.
You know, I thought I could have it all be you on the battlefield and Ray at home.
This deployment opened my eyes to how arrogant that is.
I drafted you because of that arrogance.
Yeah.
If I want to fill your shoes, it doesn't seem fair to bring Stella down that path.
You know, maybe one day, you'll wear that Bravo 1 patch.
And if you do, I'll be the first one in line to buy you a drink.
But if the price of that means you're gonna end up, uh, in a small little room above a garage, flicking on a microwave to distract you from all your regrets, that's not something I want to drink to.
You saying you regret being Bravo 1? I'm saying we have to fight just as hard inside the wire as we do outside the wire.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Oh, my God, I missed you.
Come on.
Come on.
You know what, babe? I just realized maybe joy is inappropriate after losing Metal.
I'm sorry.
Naima didn't come to meet Ray? You know what? You must be exhausted.
Let-let let's just get you home, okay, baby? What? You said it yourself.
If Ray and Naima can't make it work, then who can? What happens between them has no bearing on us.
Not just Ray and Naima.
90% of Team relationships.
Jason and Alana, my parents.
What's the definition of insanity? Having this conversation in a car in an airport.
Believe me.
Let's just get you home, baby.
I thought that I could handle what the 90% couldn't.
But even as Bravo 6, I failed to make us a priority.
This job demands so much damages so many.
There's no finish line for this war.
You know, I spent the whole plane flight home questioning if it was if it was fair to put us through all that.
And did you come up with an answer? All the collateral damage comes with the job the biggest tragedy would be using it as an excuse to not fight for a future with you.
We should get married.
Are you hopped up on painkillers like your last proposal? Never been clearer about anything in my life.
Will you marry me? Yes.
- Yes? - Yeah.
Shouldn't you be at your taco spot performing your homecoming ritual? Hmm.
Burritos are on hold until the mission is accomplished.
Thought we decided you being everyone's personal savior wasn't a good look.
Yeah, well, someone's got to do something when you're sleeping here in the cages instead of home.
I'm sorry I'm not fixing my marriage problem on your schedule.
I'm the last person who's gonna give you marriage advice, but you didn't freeze up on the battlefield thinking about Naima.
You're outside your lane, brother.
No, I'm not.
I'm exactly where I need to be, Ray.
Come on.
The problem started when you got grabbed in Tunisia.
- Raqqa Jacques - No.
Said yourself, our training combats all that.
Yeah, I did say that, and, uh, you know what? I wanted to believe that.
I really did, but we both know that's a load of crap.
After all we've been through, you think a drill through my leg is gonna break me? Yeah.
That and everything else that you've been through.
It all adds up.
You can only ignore and override so much.
Says the guy who probably buried Metal for good in that file on your phone.
I made it home, Jace.
You did your job.
This is the job.
I'm here to help you.
I'm here to get you back.
You're my brother.
You know what, maybe you're right.
But I want you to tell me something.
How you gonna how you gonna help me when you can't even help yourself? I buried another teammate the other day.
That'd be my forty-first lost brother.
41 dead brothers that I carry on my phone.
41, uh, painful memories.
I just don't I don't want to remember how they died.
I want to remember how they lived.
I loved every single one of 'em.
And the ones that I lost I I don't want to be haunted by 'em anymore.
No, I-I want to celebrate 'em.
And the ones that, uh that do make it home I want to make sure that I am there for them to help them fight the demons that haunt us.
Because surviving the battlefield isn't enough.
It's on me to make sure that my men restore what war has taken from them.
I have to make sure that they never stop fighting for what really matters.
You know, war has a has a vice grip on our souls, and if I am going to help my brothers man, I got to confront my pain first.
That's why I'm here.
I'm a warrior.
A husband, a father.
People rely on me to be strong, and and pain is weakness, and I'm not weak.
SEALs dish out trauma, we don't suffer from it.
I just need to keep working the problem.
I'm fine.
I I will be fine.
What good is spreading my pain around gonna do? How do you tell your wife you're you're damaged? Your babies that you're haunted? Your your brothers you're you're afraid? It's just easier to be a bad husband, father and teammate than to burden them with my shame.
Ray, you can't carry this alone.
You can't carry this alone.
I am so tired.
I am so tired of feeling like this.
Of deceiving everyone.
I keep telling everybody I'm okay, but I'm I keep telling myself that I'm getting better, but I'm not.
I'm-I'm I'm not.
I'm just I'm not.
I'm lying to everyone.
But most of all myself.
Because the truth is, um I have PTS and I need I need help.
Yeah.
Congratulations! This courthouse wedding was one thing, but having our reception at the Bulkhead Don't you dare denigrate this place.
I met my husband here.
Hey.
- Hey, what's going on? - Congratulations.
I thought you were in Texas.
Ain't no way in hell I'm gonna miss your nuptials there, Blondie Parton.
How's, uh How's the little girl? Oh, take a look right here, man.
That is perfection personified.
I'm sorry for riding you so hard about her, man.
Wasn't my place.
Oh, you were just looking out for me.
You, uh you knew what I needed before I did.
So I take my eye off you two, and you go and get respectable on me? Yeah, well I'm proud of you boys.
- To the new husband.
New father.
- Mm-hmm.
- Appreciate you, man.
- Yeah.
Congratulations.
Hey, what's going on? - Oh, my God.
- I know, I know.
Lieutenant.
My friends over at SOCOM, they were disappointed.
You pulled your application.
Uh, it was for the right reasons.
- You're still trying to leave Bravo? - Not at the moment.
I'm gonna stick around, bother you a little bit longer.
Glad to hear it.
- See you in a bit.
Gonna say hi to everybody.
- Yeah.
I can't remember if I'm allowed to - buy you a drink or not.
- Mm.
- I think I'm buying you one, Dad.
- Okay.
Oh, looky here.
This little angel.
- Oh - Mm-hmm.
Leanne Deirdre Oliver.
I did think about naming her Lisa, but you-you know.
That's sweet, Sonny.
Yep.
You know I, uh, can't see the baby that I love because, well, she's in Texas.
And I see the woman that I love every single day, and I can't be with her, either.
Even Hank Williams couldn't make that sound pretty.
Yep.
You know, I'm thinking about getting a billet in Texas.
That way I could be close to my baby girl and, well, maybe untangle the knot that you and I are in.
So you're willing to give up being a SEAL? For the right reasons.
You know, you applying to SOCOM means you're willing to leave Vah Beach, so How's your feeling about Texas? When you said you were taking me - somewhere special - Mm-hmm.
- I thought you meant Clay and Stella's party.
- Whoa.
Hold on.
- I'm heading there later.
By myself.
- Okay.
See, it's a bar.
- I'm almost 21.
- Don't remind me.
- Please.
- Welcome home.
There it is.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Ha.
Wait, this is the taco place? Your post-deployment buffer zone before hitting the home front? Why are you suddenly including me in your post-deployment routine? Ah, you're here.
I can't I can't enjoy the best burrito in Vah Beach by myself, now, can I? You know you said something to me once.
You said I think my only value is on the battlefield.
You're so much more than that.
I never thought that Bravo 1 and Jason Hayes could coexist, but maybe they can.
So Uncle Ray staying with you, I'm guessing that's part of your mission off the battlefield.
If you want to delay our road trip, it's okay.
- We can - No, no, no, no, no.
We're-we're hitting the road.
Bravo is paddling in the right direction.
We're good.
We're gonna pick up Mikey tomorrow, and we're gonna see where the road takes us.
All right? It's all good.
Congratulations, man.
Thanks.
Sorry I'm late.
Ah, just glad you made it.
Yeah.
Look, uh, Clay, what I said about Team guy relationships, it was not my place.
Does it look like I listened? - Right? - Yeah.
I'm glad you didn't.
I've, uh, been mixed up lately.
Not myself.
Feeling better? I'll get there.
Jason having my six helped.
We all have it.
Okay? Have you seen her since you've been back? Got a lot to make amends for.
I owe it to Naima to do it right.
All you been through, you owe it to yourself to fight for what you want.
Naima! You look skinny.
Too skinny.
My captors started with the beatings right away.
Punching me, kicking.
Then the psychological stuff started.
Um they'd, uh, put a knife to my throat a half dozen times a day.
You and the babies got me through that.
But, um, by the time that they moved to putting a power drill in my leg the pain of that felt better than the pain of thinking of the family that I'd never see again.
I was so scared of leaving you behind, baby.
And I've been scared ever since.
I'm just afraid, uh afraid to tell you that, um that I'm broken.
You didn't need to tell me, Ray.
You just needed to let me help pick up the pieces.
Do do-do you, uh, do you still want that? Come home, Ray.
We're family.
You can stand me up at the gates of hell Hey.
Marriage looks good on you.
Still wrapping my head around that.
Yeah, well, you get used to the ring around the fifth anniversary.
Yeah, well, you know, I, uh I might not be wearing it if it weren't for you.
I'm thinking you probably would have figured it out.
And I won't back down Yeah, I just, uh I wish all of Bravo was here to celebrate.
I keep wondering what I could have done different.
Yeah, well, you know what, let's not remember Metal for how he died, but for how he Oh You all right? Um Just a headache.
Probably from the RPG.
I'm good.
I'm good.
Enjoy the party.
You know, it is customary for the groom to smile during his reception.
I just realized that Jason's 20th anniversary of fighting this war is coming up.
Lot of miles on him.
Well, he looks like he's in a good place.
Yeah, he does.
Certainly earned it.
All right, now, I know tonight's a celebration of Clay and Stella, but we'd be remiss not to raise a glass to Full Metal.
Master Chief, - do the honors? - Of course.
To Scotty Carter.
The best of us don't come home.
- Hey! - Scotty! I would say the fun meter is definitely high on this one.
You know? Did I ever tell you how this guy here got his name, Full Metal? There ain't no easy way out I won't back down Hey, I Will stand my ground - I won't back down - And I won't back down.
