SEAL Team (2017) s05e03 Episode Script

Nine Ten

1 (CLAY SIGHS) I'd be lying if I said this one wasn't messing with my head a little bit.
Well, I almost told the cake-eaters where they could shove this particular good idea.
Can't imagine how this feels for you.
What makes you think this idea's so bad? History.
(SOFTLY): Emma Emma, Emma, Bo-bemma (IMITATING AIRPLANE) Hey, today's the day, Emma-phant.
You're gonna crawl.
I can feel it.
(HELICOPTER FLYING OVERHEAD) Come on, you were doing that "rev your motor" thing all weekend.
You've got all the pieces, just just put 'em together.
Okay.
You know what you need is incentive.
Okay? Ooh look at that.
You're gonna go get it.
Come on, go get it.
ALANA: Jason! She's your daughter, she's not a dog to play fetch with.
You're right.
A dog obeys commands.
I don't get it.
Liz and Reed's baby was crawling at this age.
Well, life isn't a competition.
(BABY VOICE): Don't listen to your mother.
Oh, no, no, no.
Maybe I should give up on her and focus on the next one? ALANA: "Next one"? Not until this one's potty trained unless you plan on pulling double diaper duty with me.
Yeah, not what I meant when I requested more dirty talk.
(CHUCKLES) You should check your clock, Spielberg, you're gonna be late for work.
Pick me up.
Come on.
Come on, Emma.
(SIGHS) Hey, record everything.
- Yeah.
- I love you.
- Hey.
- (EMMA COOING) Love you, buddy.
You're gonna crawl.
Okay? You can do it.
Ooh, you can do it.
Guess you've got the long-view.
You've been in the Navy since I was in kindergarten.
Kindergarten? Thought you spent your childhood spreading the word with your grandparents.
My mom dumped me with them the next summer.
You, uh you bring it on board with you or did you let the ground crew stow it? (JASON SIGHS) I haven't let it out of my sight.
Can I see it? Hey, kiddo.
How was the trip in? - (PLACES SUITCASE DOWN) - It was fine.
The long flight didn't wear you out, did it? I'm good.
Got a pretty big week planned.
Got a ceremony today, a little party, right? Hey.
The "reel" fun starts tomorrow! Check it out.
(LAUGHS) The "reel" fun! Used to love that joke when you were little.
You remember when I took you fishing in the Chesapeake to catch mackerel? You used to hate baiting your own hook, right? The sand eel, they used to freak you out a little bit.
Doesn't bother me anymore.
Grammy and Poppa taught me how to bait in the Gulf of Guinea.
Taught me a lot of things.
Good.
I'm glad.
(INHALES, EXHALES) You know what else I'm glad about? I'm glad they brought you here to help you celebrate your old man's retirement.
That means a lot to me, son.
And you know what else? I get to spend the week with you mm! without worrying about getting called into work! (ASH LAUGHS) Can't wait.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) (BELL RINGING) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING) MRS.
HILL: Good morning! (INDISTINCT CHATTER CONTINUES) Weekend's over, everyone, so let's focus.
- (CHATTER STOPS) - Thank you.
I hope you all've made progress on your research project proposals.
Let's find out who our first three presentations will come from tomorrow.
(JAR RATTLING) Melanie Rudolph.
Matt Peters.
(MATT GROANS) And (PAPER RUSTLING) Lisa Davis.
(LISA GROANS) Please take out your homework from last week, pass it forward, and turn to chapter ten.
Sonny, stop, all right? Hey! We've got a long day ahead of us.
Just sit down, and save your energy for later, okay? (SONNY SIGHS) Come on.
(SIGHING): Right.
Right.
("ALL I WANT" BY ALL SYSTEMS GO! PLAYING) (MUSIC PLAYING ON HEADPHONES) HANNAH: Took you less than three weeks to stop knocking first.
Manners are for strangers and roommates.
(GRUNTS) Not my fault Hannah Oliver somehow gets a single as a freshman.
Okay, what if I was in here with a guy? Then the door would be locked.
Unless you're some sort of kinky voyeur.
That would make me an exhibition never mind.
How was rehearsal? Wet Burrito ready for their big debut Friday? (CLOSES DOOR) Wet Burrito has made it to its inevitable resting place: the toilet.
HANNAH: What's that mean? - I'm not in the band anymore.
- You quit? They kicked you out? Maybe a little of both.
(SIGHS) Comes a time in every man's life when he realizes music isn't his thing, and he moves on.
So what's next? The last three months you tried the band, and night club promoting, and even jujitsu for a while.
Hmm It's too bad Sensei Stu was running a pyramid scheme.
I looked tight in my gi.
You know, you could always go back to the ranch.
I'm sure Emmet would love to have you.
(BOTH LAUGHING) Or, you spend so much time on campus, you might as well enroll.
High school was boring enough.
Well, there are a lot more options here than in high school.
Might help you find whatever it is you're looking for.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) (DISTANT SIREN BLARING) - (DOOR BUZZING) - (INDISTINCT CHATTER) - Really appreciate this, Phil.
- No problem, Captain Perry.
Make sure you try to keep one in the park next time we play your station.
(LAUGHING): Can't make any promises.
Breathalyzer you blew when they picked you up means you're probably dehydrated.
On your feet, Raymond.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) Worried about him.
He's fine.
North Korea proved it.
CLAY: Not what I mean.
Leave him be, all right? He needs anything, he'll let us know.
Still waiting on a "thank you".
For what? I didn't do anything.
Underage consumption of alcohol says otherwise.
Blood on your hands might also convince a judge to agree with disorderly conduct and criminal mischief.
You need to be better than this.
You wanna tell me what you got yourself into that I had to pull a favor to get you out of? It was nothing.
Nothing? Your favorite pastime! Maybe if you were doing something a job, school maybe you wouldn't have so much time for nothing.
Look, I've heard this tired old speech a thousand times.
Don't you have a cat to pull out of a tree? Cat's worth saving.
But you? Stay on this path to nowhere, you walk it alone.
This is the last time I stand between you and the criminal record you seem determined to create for yourself.
Okay.
"Okay"? That's all you have to say? Thanks, Pop.
"The United States did not enter World War II until after December 7, 1941, a day that will live in infamy.
On that day, Japanese forces attacked Pearl Harbor in the then-territory" RONNIE: I'm hungry.
I'm doing homework.
Mom will be home soon.
No, she won't.
She's out with her friend Andre.
She said she'll be back late.
What? Why didn't you tell me? 'Cause I forgot till now.
Did she leave anything for me to heat up? Nope.
She said you're in charge of figuring it out.
Damn it, Ronnie, wish I'd known! - I'm hungry, Lisa.
- Okay, just give me a sec, - I need to finish this one - Now! One sec! - Ow, I'm telling! - Damn it, Ronnie! It's not my fault! I told you I was hungry! (SIGHS) Come on.
Let's go get cleaned up and then I'll start dinner.
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER) - (MUSIC PLAYING) I'm disappointed you didn't get to make a speech.
Well, doesn't work like that.
Besides, I don't have to be the center of attention all the time.
(LAUGHS) Stories you could have told.
You know your old man blew up Noriega's boat? Leave him alone.
He doesn't even know who Noriega is.
You blew up a boat? Well, it was more like a yacht.
Drug money gets all the best toys, right? (LAUGHING) How far down did you have to dive? You know, it was like 30 or 40 feet.
But we survived.
Four men on the airfield that day weren't quite as lucky.
- They died? - They sure did.
In service to their country and there's no greater honor.
(BARTENDER OPENS BOTTLE) Did you ever almost ? The world calmed down on the back nine of my career, son.
I spent most of my time out of the line of fire.
You were on three active operations, Spenser.
More than any other frogman I know.
Your dad might go down as a legend with a résumé like his.
If that means my boy gets to grows up on a planet that gives peace a half a chance, then I will humbly wear that legend title.
(LAUGHS) Get some quarters, come on.
Get ready to roll.
We're four in a row with no mistakes.
Five'll make me proud.
Shouldn't be a problem with a team this slick.
Feels like we're being graded on a curve.
There a problem, Hayes? Just hard to know how slick we really are when we're just playing pretend.
You're tired of clearing houses? No, we're hitting dingers in BP.
True test of skill only happens when the game's on the line.
Bolt cutters up! Cut there.
Might take some time, but eventually you'll get an at bat.
Open! "Eventually".
30 minutes out.
(GRUNTING): Oh, man, it's been like ten years since I've been here.
- Ten years? - Yeah.
Yeah, probably same for me.
Yeah, me, too.
I haven't been here since before Green Team.
I've never been.
RAY: Chicken was delicious, Mom.
Thank you.
- You want some more? - No.
Good.
If you're full, that means you're happy.
Which means we can talk about what happened without you making a scene, right? Talk about what? I didn't steal anything and I didn't hurt anybody.
That's a low bar.
You used to have such focus, such discipline.
You know, you you had plans.
Yeah, and then Dad moved us here from Jersey, and some punk from Veritas broke my leg on the mat and then all the scholarships went away.
That was two years ago.
Time to find a new excuse.
Jamal.
DIANE: Uh-uh.
Wipe that look off your face.
Your father has a point.
Wrestling was a means to college for you, not an end in itself.
You were a good student.
School is still an option.
Maybe.
But it isn't cheap, and I don't want to waste money if I don't know what I want to study.
Whose money? You don't have a job.
Yeah, but if Mom's offering, yours.
I'm being fiscally responsible on your behalf.
(LAUGHING) "Responsible"? Out of your mouth? You wanna learn some responsibility, we can arrange that.
Your own roof, your own food, your own dime.
We are not kicking our son out of the house.
Your pampering's great motivation for him to straighten out.
(DIANE SIGHS) Who's ready for dessert? Wrap mine up to go.
I'll eat at the station.
I thought your rotation was over.
It was, until I traded shifts to go save our son's ass.
He gets all worked up over nothing.
I'm fine, Mom.
You're not, Ray.
We're both worried about you.
And you may not like your father's words or tone, but what he's saying isn't wrong.
(KNOCK AT DOOR) Hi, Miss Gladys.
Do you need me to come down and change a light bulb? No, no, I'm all good, honey.
Came up to check on you girls.
Thought I heard a little trouble earlier Oh, that was just Ronnie belting "Lady Marmalade".
- (GLADYS CHUCKLING) - Kid thinks she's Christina Aguilera.
Sorry to disturb you.
I'll make sure she keeps it down.
Oh, no apology necessary.
Glad it was just the exuberance of youth.
What's that? That is the first "F" I'll ever get.
And hopefully the last.
An "F"? No, you're too smart for that.
What happened? The visual aid for my presentation tomorrow about Pearl Harbor got destroyed, so fail.
Well, maybe I have something you could use.
I was there, after all.
You were? My husband was stationed on the island.
Worst day of my life.
I didn't know if I'd survive or if I'd ever see him again.
That must have been scary.
Oh it was.
Hard thing, learning you your home's not as safe as you believed.
But getting through it showed me what I'm made of.
When Freddie went off to fight, decided I was going to do my part, too.
Like Rosie the Riveter.
(LAUGHING): Or or Amy the Aviator.
I got my pilot's license and went to work for the Air Transport Command, ferrying planes for the rest of the war.
I didn't know women flew for the military back then.
Uh technically, we didn't.
Eh it was a different time.
But even though we were flying the same aircraft as the boys, it didn't count the same.
That sucks! Stinks.
Sorry.
No, it sucked.
Lot of consequences to us being underestimated like that.
But it teaches you, too.
How to stand up for yourself.
Don't ever let anyone tell you you're worth less than you are.
You understand me? Will you tell me more about your time as a pilot? (CHUCKLING): Oh, you don't want to hear my old war stories.
I do! I really do.
(LAUGHS) Huh.
HANNAH: Okay, ready.
Better than the stripes? You plan to try all these on and have me weigh in? If this is some long con to trick me into textile design classes, then I Don't think I'm gonna have any more luck talking you into school than I did talking you out of a wallet chain.
Can you just answer the question better or worse than the stripes? (SIGHS) I don't know.
Come on, rush event starts in an hour.
I need to make a decision.
SONNY: Need an escort to Sorority Row? Wouldn't mind getting a peek inside those houses, do a recon for some Lambda Lambda Lambda type op.
(SONNY CHUCKLES) The idea is that I impress these girls.
Not sure bringing along a best friend who smells like he hasn't showered in a week is gonna help.
Says the girl who helped shovel plenty of manure on the ranch three summers straight.
Why you kissing up to a bunch of pageant queens? Why were you in a punk band until half an hour ago? More ska than punk maybe that was the problem.
You wanna know why I'm rushing, Sonny? We're on our own, figuring out who we are outside of our families.
Hard enough as it is.
Can't blame me for wanting a place to fit in.
(CHUCKLES): All right, Coop, all right, Coop! Oh, he's human, folks! (LAUGHS) Hey, you ever play? - No.
- Come on down here.
I want you to take three fingers, lay it down on the felt, like that, okay? The pointer and the thumb, you make a circle.
That's gonna be your guide, okay? Want you to hit right about there, not too hard, not too soft.
Oh, oh, oh, hey, that's all right.
A little more practice, we'll get this.
Spoken like a senior chief.
How long you stateside for, kid? - Couple weeks.
- Gonna see your mom? - Uh - Hey, hey.
Don't know you know it's bad luck to bring up a guy's ex - during his retirement party? - (LAUGHS) Never heard that one before, but you're right.
Forget the past and focus on the future.
What's your plan? - Bet you got offers pouring in.
- I don't know, I just, working for a defense contractor doesn't light my fuse.
Thinking about writing a book about my time in.
I even sent a couple of chapters off to a publisher.
- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.
Not sure how that's gonna go over in the community.
Right, well, lucky for you, there's not a market for my stories about teaching you how to lasso goats in Iraq.
(LAUGHTER) Oh, you could work on the motivational speaking circuit.
Really, who the hell's gonna pay a frogman for his advice? Huh? I mean, isn't that why we became SEALs, we didn't want real jobs or responsibilities? (LAUGHTER) (SIGHS) Something as meaningful as the Teams will come to me eventually.
(BILLIARD BALLS CLATTER) Last time I saw you reading a newspaper, you were cutting out your picture after winning the city championship.
Beat Mastbaum by three.
I scored two touchdowns, got a pick, and took the prettiest girl in school out for dinner after.
Shoplifting Wawa hoagies does not qualify as dinner or taking me out.
Oh, that was you? (CHUCKLES) Real estate listings? Where'd you get a Philadelphia Inquirer? Stopped by a newsstand on the way home.
Did you know a four-bedroom house on half an acre in Media costs $175,000? Can't get a garage in Coronado for that much.
Sure we can afford that? If we move back to Philly, then I'm gonna enroll at Penn that's not cheap.
And maybe after I graduate, I stick around for my MBA.
Land a CFO track somewhere.
Eventually, I'll make enough money that I can buy you an even nicer house.
And the Flyers.
Oh, I get it, you're making fun of me.
(ALANA CHUCKLES) Come on, we've played this game before.
Your enlistment's up in four months.
Last time you had me convinced that we were moving to Seattle.
This isn't three years ago.
Yeah, and that's why it's Philly instead of the Pacific Northwest.
How come your fantasies never take us anywhere tropical? Hey, mock me all you want come here.
But things have changed.
We were teenagers when I dragged you out here, we're parents now.
It's up to us to give our baby girl the best life possible.
Even though she is insubordinate and refuses to crawl.
(CHUCKLES): Uh I'm not sure how insubordinate she is anymore.
What? JASON: Oh, what? (EMMA COOING ON VIDEO) (ALANA CHUCKLES) Everyone clear on the plan? (SIGHS) SONNY: Trillions of dollars spent on developing the most sophisticated weapons for the War on Terror.
And there's nothing more valuable than that.
Can I see it before it, uh, officially becomes a relic? Whole thing feels wrong.
(SIGHS) ASH: Okay, I want you to hit that white ball right through the one ball.
And remember, slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
- Excellent.
- Dang it.
- What? - Didn't get any in.
It's okay, just relax.
Now we need to set up for your next shot.
- What do you think? - There isn't one unless I break those up some more.
I think you might be able to get that ten ball past the three ball.
But you're gonna have to hit it perfectly.
How hard should I hit it? You tell me.
Hard enough it gets there, not too hard it gets out of control.
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
- (CHEERS) - Holy crap! - I did it! - (LAUGHS) My son's a legend! Just like his old man! (LAUGHS) You think maybe your job's over now, that I could stay longer than a week? Would you like to do that, son? Like, maybe I could live with you? I'd really like that a lot.
What a champ.
Here you go.
Aha! (LAUGHTER) (SIGHS) Still not sure why you're passing up Topper Harley, and your favorite munchies, for the Barbie Brigade.
Probably because you just described every night of senior year.
(LAUGHS) Those were great times.
They were, but we're not in high school anymore.
Doesn't mean you have to become a completely different person.
- Stop it.
- Stop what? Dragging me down for trying to broaden my horizons.
So kissing up to sorority girls is broadening horizons? Beats sitting on the couch and watching the same movie over and over again.
I don't even know who you are anymore.
No, Sonny, you don't know who you are, and that's the problem.
What's that supposed to mean? It means that college is a fresh start for me.
And fine if you don't want to try it, but you can't bring your chaos in here if it's gonna hold me back.
I'm holding you back? I know you hate change, but that's what this time in our life is supposed to be.
You can fight it, but I don't want to.
I gotta go.
(ENGINE REVVING, SIREN WAILING ON TV) Bye.
You know my father hit me.
Is that a threat? Only thing I learned from it was that you can't beat sense into someone.
Figured I could teach by my example instead of his.
Did you hate him? Sometimes.
You hate me? No.
Still feel like I've failed.
Waiting for you to grow up.
Dedicated my life to helping people, and can't make a dent with my own son.
Today was damn near my worst nightmare.
Just glad it was the precinct and not the morgue.
Sorry.
I'm done being angry, Ray.
I'm disappointed.
I'm disappointed in you.
Disappointed in myself.
I gotta get to work.
At least help your mother clean up the kitchen, please.
It's not the same.
What isn't? Thinking about Philly.
I was just having some fun.
I missed Emma starting to crawl today, Alana.
Am I supposed to miss her first steps, too? And for what, seeing if I know how to grab a pair of bolt cutters when asked? You love your job.
I do, but I joined to help the greater good, but now I'm not so sure what's more important than this family.
It's getting harder to choose to put us second all the time.
You really are serious.
You know, I wasn't joking this morning.
I do want another kid.
Kids.
Well, that explains the four-bedroom house.
You have a plan for how we pay the mortgage? I mean, I'd like to find something where I can actually have an impact, rather than just practice for it.
Maybe FBI or field medic training was pretty cool, maybe get EMT certification.
- Okay.
- I know you have goals, too.
I mean, you gave up a lot for me.
You want to go to school, our folks are close enough to help with double diaper duty.
Well, I always thought I'd enjoy law school.
Yeah, the way you argue, you're a natural.
Hey, becoming a SEAL was my dream job.
Now it's time you find yours.
Well, that does sound nice.
You home more, and living closer to family.
- Wanna hear the best part? - Always.
I have two months' paid leave saved up.
We could be settled in by Thanksgiving.
I'll call Personnel Support first thing tomorrow - and get the ball rolling.
- Yeah.
- And - And what? May as well get started on a sibling for Emma.
(CHUCKLING) MRS.
HILL: Good morning, everyone.
Which of our three presenters would like to go first? Lisa, the floor is yours.
STUDENT: What's that? (OTHERS MURMURING) STUDENT 2: That's tight.
From 1942 through 1944, over a thousand women flew planes in the U.
S.
Army Air Forces during World War II.
But it wasn't until the late 1970s that they were recognized as part of the military.
My research project seeks to answer the questions: what is the history of the Women's Airforce Service Pilots? And how did the denial - of military status affect - MRS.
HILL: What? - Wait - (STUDENTS WHISPERING) No.
Ready, Dad? ANCHORWOMAN: Information continues to come in What movie's that? We can now confirm two planes flew into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center some 20 minutes apart this morning.
We've gotten reports some passengers on those planes may have called loved ones on the ground to report they'd been hijacked.
We are still awaiting confirmation of flight numbers, but both planes may have been in route to Los Angeles from Boston.
The fire department and Port Authority have ordered evacuation of the World Trade Center It's not a movie.
Something bad has happened.
ANCHORWOMAN: images of what appears to be people either falling or jumping from Listen, son.
We're not going fishing.
I have to drive to D.
C.
to be on the news as a military expert.
Are we at war? No, not yet.
Am I going with you to D.
C.
? I called your grandparents, they're on their way to get you.
I'm sorry, kiddo.
Our plans are on hold for now.
ANCHORWOMAN: President Bush plans to address the nation (POUNDING ON DOOR) WOMAN: We're under attack, wake up! SONNY: The hell's going on out there? WOMAN: Wake up, it's on TV! We're being attacked.
GEORGE W.
BUSH: Today we've had a national tragedy.
Two airplanes have crashed into the World Trade Center in an apparent terrorist attack on our country.
And I've ordered that the full resources - of the federal government - Oh, Sonny It's okay.
- to hunt down - It's not.
and to find those folks who committed this act.
HANNAH: Look at it.
It will be.
ANCHORMAN: Given the coordination and choice of targets, certainly, there can be no question now that this is a deliberate and highly coordinated attack.
CORRESPONDENT: It does appear that way, Jim.
When you think of what individuals or groups would want to attack the United States and have the resources to plan and achieve something of this scale Agency's gotta be all over this.
Won't be long before they have a target.
Targets.
CORRESPONDENT: And Oh.
- Teams are gonna get the call.
- (JET ENGINES ROARING) CORRESPONDENT: Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my goodness (PEOPLE SCREAMING) - (SIRENS WAILING) - (PANICKED CHATTER) (COUGHING) (PEOPLE SHOUTING) Whoa, whoa, nobody below Canal, - you gotta turn around.
- But my dad's down there! He's a firefighter, I have to find him! I can't let you through, son, I'm sorry.
He's down there somewhere.
I have to find him, please! Ain't that something? Odds were against it, but it found a way to thrive.
Amid all that darkness, it found its way toward sunlight.
Resilient.
I can't believe it's been 20 years.
(SONNY EXHALES) SONNY: Day made us all grow up, whether or not we were ready to.
Can't even imagine what it was like for an actual kid.
That day changed everything.
Shaped me and the choices I've made since.
Two days later I walked into a recruiting office.
And I might've never met you guys if it wasn't for that day.
He'd be proud of you.
Be prouder if I hadn't spun out for two more years before I enlisted.
You grieved how you grieved.
At the end of the day, you are where you're meant to be, Ray.
(VOICE BREAKING): I just, I just wish he knew how much he helped me become the man I am today.
(SNIFFLES) You haven't put that in yet? Place of honor awaits for the bolt cutters from the Abbottabad raid.
Reason the brass sent us here.
I, uh I think the victims of the guy responsible for all this, it'd be okay memorializing a piece of the op that brought him justice.
JASON: The only people that we should honor and remember today are the ones that we lost 20 years ago.
