SEAL Team (2017) s05e06 Episode Script
Man on Fire
1
Previously on SEAL Team
Ray, that's Mandy.
- RAY: In SGS custody? - We got to do something.
Right now we've got a train to catch.
DRYDEN: Saidou Boukare and an unknown number of SGS fighters are gonna be on that commuter train.
Thousands of lives are at stake.
I know Boukare's our best lead to Mandy, but our heads have got to be here.
HVT's on the move with two Tangos.
DRYDEN: My team will handle the HVT.
JASON: Negative, Havoc.
It's my tactical call.
Bravo 1 out.
- (WOMAN SCREAMS) - Clear! DRYDEN: Your personal connection to Ms.
Ellis has clearly impaired your tactical judgment.
Bravo's off the Boukare hunt.
Dryden, he does not miss a step.
- He is expanding his footprint.
- You saying you don't trust him? I need you to do some digging quietly.
RAY: You ignore my advice on how to handle Dryden, and now you're seeking out Davis to help you when nobody's had your back more than I have? Mandy's ass is in jackpot, and you're more concerned about your role with Bravo Team? Mandy's a professional liar, one of the best we've ever worked with.
She's capable of anything, including gaslighting you, Jace.
I was able to identify the man in this photo Aziz Sankara.
You want answers, you got to be on this op.
I get you're playing global chess here, but do not - hang her out to dry.
- Tell your men to jock up.
A strap from our team will be going out with you.
- Remington.
- Since when does Bravo need a babysitter? This will come in handy if Boukare's memory needs jogging.
Oh, shit.
(GLASS SHATTERS) (EXPLOSIONS) - Got to bail, Jace.
- No, they're trying to smoke us out.
We step aside, we're fish in a barrel with those AKs.
Car's still running.
I could punch it and we can bail out down the block.
RAY: Live to fight another day.
That's not happening.
Bravo 3, what's your status? - How copy? - SONNY: Uh, we are shrimp on a barbie, but we are good.
What's our move, Bravo 1? DAVIS: Bravo 1, this is Havoc.
Ground Branch are moving toward the target building.
- What's your sitrep? - Copy that.
Have Ground Branch hold.
We're making entry.
Bravo 3, stay close.
We're ramming the door.
Vehicle breach? You sure that's Drive.
(TIRES SQUEALING) Havoc, this is 1.
Pass Aldrin.
Probably not what the interior decorator had in mind.
(INDISTINCT RADIO TRANSMISSIONS) Bravo 1, this is Havoc.
Ground Branch has launched a thermal imaging ISR platform over target.
I'm looking at six Tangos on the move.
We believe Boukare's holding strong on the north end, second floor.
That's a good copy.
Boukare's sending in his troops.
- Clay, Sonny, prep the smoke.
- Enemy knows we're here.
We're gonna need a lot more than a smoke screen.
Remington, grab the extra mags from the back of the truck, will you? Okay, guys, you want to PID everything.
Get to Boukare before Ground Branch does.
Got it? - He has the answers to get us to Mandy? - That's right.
Any day, Remington.
All right, let's move.
(CLANGS) Door's welded shut.
No one's coming in.
(AUTOMATIC GUNFIRE) (GUNFIRE CONTINUES) Three AKs! Mid hallway! (GUNFIRE) Clay, push forward.
On me.
Move it! (GRUNTS) (MAN YELLS) (MAN SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY) (GRUNTING) Nice tackling there, Fred Warner.
Rest of the apartment's clear.
Time for a chat.
(GUNFIRE) (COUGHING) (GUNFIRE) (GUNFIRE) They got a PKM in there.
Let's split.
Brock, try and flank 'em.
(GUNFIRE) Stay close to the wall.
(GUNFIRE) (GUN CLICKING) Let's go.
(GRUNTING) Nice shot.
(PANTING) Is that one of Ray's secret agent-y toys? Helps us track any cell phone IP on target.
SONNY: All right, got him alive.
Mission accomplished, boss.
Not yet.
DAVIS: Bravo 1, this is Havoc.
ISR shows two unknowns outside moving toward your entry point.
They appear to be armed.
Copy that.
Ray, downstairs, help 'em clear.
Battlefield interrogation works better with a partner, right? I need you downstairs.
That's why I got Clay here.
Move.
Copy.
Hey.
Hey, Boukare.
Look at me.
Where is this man? Where is he?! Never seen that man.
Get him on his knees.
Come on.
Up.
Get up.
Where is this man? Where is he? (SPEAKS FRENCH) JASON: Hey.
Look at me.
Don't look at him.
Look at me.
This man, where is this man? Never seen that man.
Get 'em up.
Get 'em up.
On the wall, both of them.
Let's go.
Walk over here.
Put your head against the wall.
Understand? Back.
Sidekick recognizes Sankara from the photo.
He might know where he's at.
(WHISTLES) Unless we make ourselves scarier than that bastard that vaporized Thomas the Train, his sidekick ain't talkin'.
(STEAM HISSING) Well, that is low as a blow as it gets.
They messed with our damn trucks.
(GUNFIRE) (GUNFIRE STOPS) Damn, Trent.
Got any tips? Hey, uh, these aren't driving anywhere, man.
We need to push for a secondary exfil platform.
You're right.
(BOTH PANTING) Havoc base, this is Bravo 2.
Our vehicles are down hard.
We need a new exfil platform.
Any bright ideas? Over.
Copy, 2.
I'll direct Task Force operators nearby to locate viable indig vehicles.
Stand by.
Bravo's moving to exfil? Negative.
Not yet, sir.
Where are they on HVT? Eyes on Boukare? Sir, I will have a sitrep for you as soon as I've coordinated with Task Force.
Sit down.
Sit down.
Look at me.
Tell me where this man is.
Tell me where this man is.
This man, he's a prisoner of yours.
Hmm? Why are you protecting him? Who's soldier boy over here, huh? You'd trade your soldier's life in for a nonbeliever? Is that what you would do? 'Cause if you don't start talking, a stray bullet is gonna come through that window and blow his fuckin' head off.
You understand? Tell me where he is.
You got 20 seconds.
You got 20 seconds.
Twenty! You got something to say, you speak up.
All right, your boss cares more about that prisoner than he does you.
You understand? Bullet's coming.
Ten seconds.
RAY: Bravo 1, this is 2.
Secondary exfil vehicles are five mikes out.
Gonna need Bravo 3's hooli to make a clean exit.
Over.
- Copy, 2.
- (CLICKS OFF RADIO) Time's up.
Jace.
Grenade! (GRUNTING) - Tango vanished.
- Must have made a break for it during the blast.
There's no sign of him.
SGS is gonna regroup and come at us heavy.
- We gotta move, Jace.
- Get him up.
Havoc, this is 1.
I pass Armstrong.
DAVIS: Copy, 1.
Exfil vehicles are three mikes out.
That's a good copy.
Good copy.
RAY: 1, this is 2.
Was that blast near your position? Over.
Good copy, 2.
We're good.
Allahu akbar! Got our HVT.
We're moving.
Consolidate on the first deck.
We'll break out there.
Building was clear.
Could have been a lone wolf tossed that grenade.
Then there's still enemy on target.
- What's Hayes doing? - He's prioritizing.
- Sonny, master key.
- Roger that.
What happened to the other guy? - Lost him in the blast.
- What do you mean "lost him"? He got hit or he squirted? What happened? War happened.
We got who matters.
I take it you and the HV didn't have the chat you were looking for.
Yeah.
The answers he has about Mandy is about to vanish with him.
You did all you could do.
And it's not over.
You have to debrief.
All right.
I'm gonna start pulling cell IPs this captured on target.
Look, there was a Tango in the room with us and Boukare.
All right, make sure you track his cell.
- Make that a priority, will ya? - Yeah.
RAY: Hang on.
So, the other guy did escape? Why didn't you have us pursue him? That guy was gone in a flash.
How'd he have his cell phone if he was held prisoner? I was too busy to ask him questions about Mandy.
I must've had tunnel vision.
Lot of that going around.
What'd you find out while we were gone? Well, I was able to get some background on Sankara, the warlord in the photo with Mandy? Prior to being snatched up by SGS, he was a player in regional arms smuggling.
He commandeered a couple of small gold mines.
You're telling me a guy that's dressed up like an extra from the Predator owns a bunch of gold mines? DAVIS: It's a plentiful resource in the area.
It's often used to support illicit activities like arms sales and money laundering.
That explains why SGS is keeping him prisoner instead of executing him when they swept through.
Force him to run the mines, adds to their war chest.
And the fact that they kept Mandy captive, too, means she has value to them.
Some reason to keep her alive.
DAVIS: Mandy's smart.
She knows how to make herself useful.
CLAY: You know, if they know that she's CIA, they'll want the intel that she can offer.
I don't see Mandy giving that up.
She was trained for that.
She knows how to walk that line.
Give 'em just enough, buy herself another day.
Protecting the Agency when no one's lifting a finger to help her.
Well, let's see where we get with these cell phone IPs.
Yo.
Hey.
Held my questions long enough.
You need to fill me in.
You heard Davis.
We're nowhere.
Let me guess, Boukare wasn't talking.
Huh? So you took a gamble on the other Tango.
Gave him a chance to escape.
Used a crash grenade? He squirts, you have Davis track his cell phone in the hopes that he contacts Sankara's captors.
Lets them know some angry Americans are hunting down their prisoner.
You get real lucky, that might give you his location, which also might be Mandy's.
(SNIFFS) Had to put a show on for Remington.
Yeah, and leave me watching from the cheap seats again.
There's way too many eyes on you right now.
I don't need you getting caught up in all this.
So you knew it was reckless and you did it anyway.
Look, I had to do something, okay, Ray? That something could get us kicked from the Teams, Jace.
Letting a terrorist loose on some desperate long shot? A long shot is all I had, Ray.
We're all messed-up over Mandy, man.
And knowing what she's going through, I would give anything to rescue her from the pain and sorrow she's feeling, but doesn't mean we get stupid, Jason.
Look, I had to make a call, okay? - You weren't there.
- Yeah, because you sent me off.
We gonna do this again? Are we really gonna do this again?! Stop.
You understand me? Mandy needs our help.
Right? I am not gonna sit back and do nothing about that.
She needs someone to fight for her.
I'm gonna fight for her.
Got it? Need to talk about what happened on target last night.
Bagged an HVT we missed three times before.
Enjoy the victory.
You telling me you don't have any concerns about the terrorist Jason let go? That shitbird was a nobody.
All right? Boukare was a dead end.
We needed a clear path to Mandy.
Look, I know why the decision was made, Clay.
It doesn't make it a good one.
Look, with-with Jason leaning on you more now, it means it's your responsibility to talk him out of his bad ideas.
You mad because Jason went rogue, or that he did it without you? I'm mad because my team is acting like a bunch of roided-up Neanderthals not using their heads.
You worried about a personal blowback from Command? What the hell does Command have to do with anything? Well, your track record as OIC isn't the cleanest.
My track record has nothing to do with you and Jason's sloppy work.
What you call sloppy, okay, I call a calculated risk.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) It was your idea.
Look, Jason was desperate, and this was the least bad option.
And if it fails, he's more desperate.
What's your plan then? Hmm.
If you are gonna be his right hand, you have got to anticipate every single Look, I know all about looking out for Bravo 1, all right, Ray? I've been watching him like a hawk since we got home from last deployment, - and you weren't around.
- Why is that? Because 20 years of combat is eventually gonna catch up with him.
I just want to make sure we can clock it before it's too late.
You think he's falling off? Just with everything that happened, I I just felt like you could use an extra hand watching Jason's six.
Yeah, well, Bravo couldn't ask for a better hall monitor.
(DOOR OPENS, SLAMS) Okay.
Anything on the squirter? Looks like he turned off his cell.
Can't you use the Stingray? Put that on and see if you can ping his location? Anything to get us off our asses here.
Come on.
Look, we alert him to our control over his device, he sends word and shuts the whole network down.
Patience is our ally right now.
Yeah, right, and time is in short supply, right? Mandy is tough.
Whatever they throw at her, she can handle.
Yeah, she's tough.
Let's just hope that she's still alive, 'cause we both know the longer this goes on, that's not good for the person who's in captivity.
The squirter is going to turn on his cell sooner rather than later.
This will work.
Let me know when he does.
(BUZZING) - (LEANNE LAUGHING) - Yo, you got a minute? Yeah, my baby girl's only a few months old, and it is pure hell being away from her.
Got any secrets how to get through this? All that missing is what makes going home so great.
Yeah, that's if home and the kid are in the same place.
Leaves me screwed.
You know, we can use a satellite to guide a missile to a toad's ass wart, and I can't get a damn signal.
You need me for something? Yeah, um last night, on the op, with the squirter.
What'd you think of all that? Well, Clay's plan fit the bill, and Jason saw that.
Why? I just noticed Jason's relying on Clay a lot.
I'm not-not saying Clay can't handle it.
I just want to make sure his ambition, along with Jason's rage, doesn't put us in the middle of a shit sandwich.
Lord knows I've had my issues with Clay's ambition in the past, but I don't doubt that his head's right when it comes to the team anymore.
He took a bullet for me on the Marsden letter.
- Maybe he's thinking better of it now.
- What you talking about? Someone tipped Command to my behavior on deployment.
Someone ratted on you? That's not the word I'd use.
I practically invited the team to do it.
Yeah, but not behind your back like this.
And nobody would do you dirty on Bravo like that.
Especially not Clay.
You know, this isn't easy for me neither.
You know, having Bravo 1 and 6 finish each other's sentences.
I mean, I thought Stella was my only competition competing for Clay's other half.
But you and Jace, you you have that.
For much longer.
So I wouldn't I wouldn't beat yourself up over this.
You saying I should get used to the way things are now? It's not like it's new.
You know, when you were in captivity, Jason turned to the next man, and Clay stepped up.
He filled in for you as Jiminy Cricket, and he kept J from crossing a line that he couldn't uncross.
Clay was in J's ear that day, and kept him from tanking his career.
Clay had his back when I couldn't.
I guess he's earned Jason's trust.
I tell you what.
Change can sting like a honeybee on cocaine, but I don't see what other choice you have.
All right.
Okey doke.
Get some rest, all right? Love you.
SONNY: Are you kidding me? Not one person up here right now can get a signal to save their ass, and Blondie 5-G here is calling home.
You want to use my connection? No, no.
My-my window passed.
I just wanted to check in and see how, uh, the "Mommy and Me" music class went.
(SCOFFS) I'm impressed by how dialed in you are.
Well, I sense surprise in your voice.
Just, uh, you know, thinking back to your reaction when you first heard that Hannah was pregnant.
Oh, yeah, I was sweating like a germophobe in a public toilet.
- But you kept operating like normal.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I guess I was just more concerned about how I was gonna tell Davis, and what business did I have being a father in the first place? What about now? Now, uh, now I just keep thinking about how this job could take me away from Leanne, and how that would unleash a flood of biblical proportion.
What's up with the inquisition? (EXHALES SHARPLY) Stella's pregnant.
What? You serious? My man, look at you.
You got some strong swimmers there.
(LAUGHS) I knew you could do it.
Why'd it take you so long to tell me? Aw, it's just, uh, it's still early.
I didn't want to be insensitive to your situation.
(LAUGHS) Insensitive to my situation.
What? What, you don't think I could handle the fact that your life is Norman Blondewell, and I'm the After School Special? - Is that it? - That's not what I meant.
Come on, man.
I-I've gotten used to the fact that you think that you're better than me.
Hey, just, I don't know pump the brakes on the pity thing.
Whatever.
(EXHALES) - DRYDEN: Master Chief Hayes.
- Yep.
Good work bringing Boukare in.
Well, Bravo's all about mission success.
I'm just happy that we're here to assist.
Well, even a Master of the Universe can admit when he's wrong.
All right, so, being the Master of the Universe, where do we stand with Mandy Ellis? What are we gonna do about that? I remember advising you on where the Agency stands on that front.
But because you brought Boukare to justice, I can share that I've devoted resources - to looking for her.
- And? No leads to report.
Unfortunately, with the manpower shortage, I can't dig in as deep as I'd like.
Well, Bravo can help with the manpower problem.
Sadly, you can't.
Bravo's accomplished its mission of cutting the head off the snake here.
Your work is done.
Hey, Dryden's sending us back to Vah Beach.
So anything you have, you better give it to me right now.
I'm working on it.
Squirter finally turned back on his cell, pinged one of Sankara's gold mines.
Okay, so that's probably where they're holding Sankara.
You got any intel oh his phone? Nothing that connects to Mandy.
(EXHALES SHARPLY) Then we go get this guy Sankara.
We rescue him and ask him questions.
Sankara means nothing to Dryden.
He's not gonna authorize the op.
Don't you understand? This is the only thread that we have; we gotta follow it.
Look, I can count my close hands on one hand.
I don't want to lose Mandy either.
Besides, looking for her, it kind of helps quiet all questions.
I actually believed her.
Believed her when she told me she was leaving the Agency.
It's kind of hard to swallow, thinking all this might be a lie.
I mean, have all the postcards that she sent me from surf retreats been part of her cover story? I can't even be sure that our friendship was real.
None of that matters, though.
- Not when she's in danger.
- Yeah, she's in danger.
And we have to do everything we can in order to save her.
And the gold mine, that's our best lead.
It is our only lead.
That doesn't make it a good one.
Look, I'm on a plane in 12 hours, you got it? You have to pull a rabbit out of your hat here, like you did for Ray in Tunisia.
If there's any way to make this gold mine a target that Dryden will approve I'll find it.
- Hey.
- Oh, you got it up there, huh? Oh, yeah.
Hate leaving with unfinished business.
You weren't in the barracks all night.
Making any headway on Mandy? No.
Hmm-mm.
Nothing.
I can't even bring myself to pack.
Even though Dryden's put up the, uh, "mission accomplished" banner.
At least it clarifies what the real mission was.
You know, less about catching bad guys and more about securing a foothold here in Africa to compete with China and Russia.
Hate thinking Mandy's paying the ultimate price for nothing more than a land grab.
Oh, that's more than a land grab.
Clearing out SGS, that's just the start.
Afghanistan 2.
0.
Right? Look, Jace, I, uh I know how much you want to find her.
I didn't mean to add more weight to your shoulders by complaining about the team's new dynamics.
It's just gotta suck knowing that, uh, one of our brothers dropped a dime on you to Command.
Thought I was solid.
Maybe they were right for speaking up.
You're solid, bro.
You're good, you're solid.
You know, I-I value Clay's input.
As much as I hate to admit it, he's our best shooter right now.
I just want to do my part for Bravo.
Yeah.
It's why you became a frogman.
That's why you can't sit on your ass knowing Mandy's out there.
Hey! I think I got something.
Okay, so, I have been trying to figure out where SGS has been manufacturing their explosives.
Based on the S-vests we recovered from the train, several chemicals were used.
But the propellant agent stood out to me: the diesel fuel.
Diesel's common in HME.
Correct.
But I was able to identify the specific brand of diesel: Confederated Petroleum.
I tracked the supply chain of large-scale deliveries of Confederated diesel to this local gold mine.
Well, the diesel was purchased in bulk, along with other chemicals commonly used in mining.
That's why it didn't raise any flags at the border.
DAVIS: Exactly.
And I wouldn't have caught it either except I discovered that even though this mine has been defunct for months, the Confederated shipments continued.
So SGS is using the diesel in the mine to assemble their weapons.
And if you dismantle this facility, it's gonna give you a foothold in the region that you've been trying to control.
I agree.
Does this target have anything to do with Mandy Ellis? It's not enough that SGS weapons get destroyed, and the U.
S.
recovers the mine instead of Russia or China? Sounds like a win-win to me.
Approved.
This gold mine utilizes trenches rather than caves, so explosives assembly isn't underground.
It makes clearing the area easier.
Be easier just to level the whole thing.
Except we're not just taking out the explosives.
IMAGEINT shows diesel deliveries are being moved into these Conex boxes.
Bet this is the assembly site.
How many Tangos on target? Pings confirm there are five cell phones currently on-site.
Could be more Tangos there, but it won't be an army.
Based on a conversation I recorded through the Stingray, they're only running a skeleton crew since we took down the train.
Our first order of business will be dismantling the weapons facility.
Then we move on to looking for Sankara, the Warlord.
Hoping Mandy's still there with him.
We do not have confirmation there are any prisoners on target.
Then this is our last shot, so we give it all we've got.
Two high.
Rest of us in the trenches.
JASON: Hold security, lead.
Dear Lord What the shit? (EXHALES) I recognize that gold tooth from Sankara's photo.
So much for getting his help on the Mandy front.
They wouldn't have done that to her, Jace.
SGS has a different type of hell for women than men.
You sure about that? Same height.
Same build.
That body is not identifiable in that condition, not without a tech.
Don't let your head go there.
JASON: Still got a mission to complete, okay? Let's go, huddle up.
Clay, Sonny, let's get the ordnance.
BIP everything.
Trent, Brock, clear the trenches.
Ray, you're with me.
SONNY: Yep.
Eyes up.
CLAY: Let's go, baby.
That Conex box wasn't on the satellite image.
Yeah, the netting must've hid it from view.
Windows.
A/C unit.
Could be where the bad guys are kicking it.
Oop.
We got three Tangos, three o'clock.
One of the squirters from earlier.
Carrier pigeon play worked.
Say when.
SONNY (OVER COMMS): Fire in the hole.
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING) Smoke 'em out the hive.
(GUNFIRE CONTINUES) Grenade! (JASON GRUNTS) RAY: Damn.
Jace! - Yeah.
- Jace, you okay? I'm good, I'm good.
I'm going in.
RAY: No, let me check you out first.
Come on! JASON: I said I'm fucking good.
I'm going in.
Guy's got the drop on us in there, Jace.
JASON: He's Winchester.
Hold security here.
I don't want to get mudsucked.
You son of a bitch.
(SIGHS) (DOOR BANGS) (GRUNTING) (GRUNTS) Ah! (GROANS) Don't shoot! Jason? Mandy.
What are you doing here? I'm here to rescue you.
Oh, you're wounded.
It's just a flesh wound.
(CHUCKLES) (JASON GRUNTS) Jason Jackpot! Glad you're alive.
You okay? I will be.
(EXHALES) (SIGHS) (INDISTINCT RADIO TRANSMISSION) So how long you been back in? I'm not.
This was a An unfortunate coincidence? A rogue operation.
(SIGHS) Truth is, once you're in the CIA, you're never truly out.
So they pulled you back in? It's more like I-I asked RAY: What? I'm not getting the math here.
You asked to be needed? An old friend needed help.
Look, ten years ago, I was in the region working undercover as a French national who worked with Sankara.
I helped him move arms up through North Africa and into Europe.
He had a younger sister.
She was my asset, but (SIGHS) We got close.
So when I learned she was in trouble It was personal.
She always did right by me.
My conscience wouldn't let me leave it alone.
What kind of trouble? Her brother was going to kill her if she didn't marry one of his foot soldiers and pledge her allegiance to the family.
And you chose to help.
There was no choice.
After all the assets I burned when I was in, I thought maybe this would help balance the scales a little.
But if you were under official cover, why'd the CIA disavow you? MANDY: I was allowed to reactivate my cover, but the Agency wouldn't fully sanction the mission.
Said it was too hot in the region for such a "low priority".
Basically, I was on my own once I was in-country.
But you went anyway.
I take no for an answer about as well as you do.
I managed to get her out, I just My exit got stalled when SGS wrapped up her brother.
Do we even want to know how you survived? Well, I am I was pretty good at my job.
So I proved my worth by sharing my knowledge of Sankara's trade routes.
So you showed you were more valuable than him.
(SCOFFS) I sold him out to save my ass.
Karma's a bitch he had it coming one way or another.
You spooks sure know how to spin that yarn, don't you? I'll give you that.
(SCOFFS) It's the truth.
I swear.
All of it.
(HELICOPTER WHIRRING) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) I have to commend you, Master Chief.
Your team's work here was incredibly fruitful.
Yeah, well, that's Tell you what, I'm just glad that we were able to move the pieces around the chessboard for you.
The foothold you've helped establish extends the blast radius in the region.
Pay dividends for years to come.
Well, victories in this, uh, war are getting harder to come by, that's for sure.
But I'll savor this one.
Well, as Chief of Station, I look forward to Bravo's next rotation through.
That's right.
No operational malpractices.
- Maybe a little bit.
- (CHUCKLES) SONNY: All right, listen, next time you miss hanging out with us, just swing by Vah Beach so we don't got to run through this again.
- You can count on it.
- All right.
Be good.
You sure you don't want to fly back with us like old times? Gotta jump through some CIA hoops before they'll let me leave.
Yeah.
Take care.
Drinks at the Bulkhead whenever you're ready.
Yeah.
I hear he's pleased you delivered him a gold mine.
Well, SGS took it from the Warlord who took it from locals who took it from Burkina Faso, so It really should go back to the state.
(SIGHS) Same as 20 years ago in Afghanistan.
CIA comes in, stirs the pot, lets the chips fall.
Mm-hmm.
Well, good luck on your debrief.
(CLEARS THROAT) I think you may be taking this "man of few words" thing a little far.
I'm just happy you're safe.
Really? Look, Sonny's right.
I am a professional liar.
But I have never lied to you.
Uh-huh.
I'll I'll let you know when I'm back stateside.
Hey, I got stabbed for you, so none of this texting bullshit.
I want a phone call.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) Yeah, I'll call you.
I promise.
- RAY: In SGS custody? - We got to do something.
Right now we've got a train to catch.
DRYDEN: Saidou Boukare and an unknown number of SGS fighters are gonna be on that commuter train.
Thousands of lives are at stake.
I know Boukare's our best lead to Mandy, but our heads have got to be here.
HVT's on the move with two Tangos.
DRYDEN: My team will handle the HVT.
JASON: Negative, Havoc.
It's my tactical call.
Bravo 1 out.
- (WOMAN SCREAMS) - Clear! DRYDEN: Your personal connection to Ms.
Ellis has clearly impaired your tactical judgment.
Bravo's off the Boukare hunt.
Dryden, he does not miss a step.
- He is expanding his footprint.
- You saying you don't trust him? I need you to do some digging quietly.
RAY: You ignore my advice on how to handle Dryden, and now you're seeking out Davis to help you when nobody's had your back more than I have? Mandy's ass is in jackpot, and you're more concerned about your role with Bravo Team? Mandy's a professional liar, one of the best we've ever worked with.
She's capable of anything, including gaslighting you, Jace.
I was able to identify the man in this photo Aziz Sankara.
You want answers, you got to be on this op.
I get you're playing global chess here, but do not - hang her out to dry.
- Tell your men to jock up.
A strap from our team will be going out with you.
- Remington.
- Since when does Bravo need a babysitter? This will come in handy if Boukare's memory needs jogging.
Oh, shit.
(GLASS SHATTERS) (EXPLOSIONS) - Got to bail, Jace.
- No, they're trying to smoke us out.
We step aside, we're fish in a barrel with those AKs.
Car's still running.
I could punch it and we can bail out down the block.
RAY: Live to fight another day.
That's not happening.
Bravo 3, what's your status? - How copy? - SONNY: Uh, we are shrimp on a barbie, but we are good.
What's our move, Bravo 1? DAVIS: Bravo 1, this is Havoc.
Ground Branch are moving toward the target building.
- What's your sitrep? - Copy that.
Have Ground Branch hold.
We're making entry.
Bravo 3, stay close.
We're ramming the door.
Vehicle breach? You sure that's Drive.
(TIRES SQUEALING) Havoc, this is 1.
Pass Aldrin.
Probably not what the interior decorator had in mind.
(INDISTINCT RADIO TRANSMISSIONS) Bravo 1, this is Havoc.
Ground Branch has launched a thermal imaging ISR platform over target.
I'm looking at six Tangos on the move.
We believe Boukare's holding strong on the north end, second floor.
That's a good copy.
Boukare's sending in his troops.
- Clay, Sonny, prep the smoke.
- Enemy knows we're here.
We're gonna need a lot more than a smoke screen.
Remington, grab the extra mags from the back of the truck, will you? Okay, guys, you want to PID everything.
Get to Boukare before Ground Branch does.
Got it? - He has the answers to get us to Mandy? - That's right.
Any day, Remington.
All right, let's move.
(CLANGS) Door's welded shut.
No one's coming in.
(AUTOMATIC GUNFIRE) (GUNFIRE CONTINUES) Three AKs! Mid hallway! (GUNFIRE) Clay, push forward.
On me.
Move it! (GRUNTS) (MAN YELLS) (MAN SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY) (GRUNTING) Nice tackling there, Fred Warner.
Rest of the apartment's clear.
Time for a chat.
(GUNFIRE) (COUGHING) (GUNFIRE) (GUNFIRE) They got a PKM in there.
Let's split.
Brock, try and flank 'em.
(GUNFIRE) Stay close to the wall.
(GUNFIRE) (GUN CLICKING) Let's go.
(GRUNTING) Nice shot.
(PANTING) Is that one of Ray's secret agent-y toys? Helps us track any cell phone IP on target.
SONNY: All right, got him alive.
Mission accomplished, boss.
Not yet.
DAVIS: Bravo 1, this is Havoc.
ISR shows two unknowns outside moving toward your entry point.
They appear to be armed.
Copy that.
Ray, downstairs, help 'em clear.
Battlefield interrogation works better with a partner, right? I need you downstairs.
That's why I got Clay here.
Move.
Copy.
Hey.
Hey, Boukare.
Look at me.
Where is this man? Where is he?! Never seen that man.
Get him on his knees.
Come on.
Up.
Get up.
Where is this man? Where is he? (SPEAKS FRENCH) JASON: Hey.
Look at me.
Don't look at him.
Look at me.
This man, where is this man? Never seen that man.
Get 'em up.
Get 'em up.
On the wall, both of them.
Let's go.
Walk over here.
Put your head against the wall.
Understand? Back.
Sidekick recognizes Sankara from the photo.
He might know where he's at.
(WHISTLES) Unless we make ourselves scarier than that bastard that vaporized Thomas the Train, his sidekick ain't talkin'.
(STEAM HISSING) Well, that is low as a blow as it gets.
They messed with our damn trucks.
(GUNFIRE) (GUNFIRE STOPS) Damn, Trent.
Got any tips? Hey, uh, these aren't driving anywhere, man.
We need to push for a secondary exfil platform.
You're right.
(BOTH PANTING) Havoc base, this is Bravo 2.
Our vehicles are down hard.
We need a new exfil platform.
Any bright ideas? Over.
Copy, 2.
I'll direct Task Force operators nearby to locate viable indig vehicles.
Stand by.
Bravo's moving to exfil? Negative.
Not yet, sir.
Where are they on HVT? Eyes on Boukare? Sir, I will have a sitrep for you as soon as I've coordinated with Task Force.
Sit down.
Sit down.
Look at me.
Tell me where this man is.
Tell me where this man is.
This man, he's a prisoner of yours.
Hmm? Why are you protecting him? Who's soldier boy over here, huh? You'd trade your soldier's life in for a nonbeliever? Is that what you would do? 'Cause if you don't start talking, a stray bullet is gonna come through that window and blow his fuckin' head off.
You understand? Tell me where he is.
You got 20 seconds.
You got 20 seconds.
Twenty! You got something to say, you speak up.
All right, your boss cares more about that prisoner than he does you.
You understand? Bullet's coming.
Ten seconds.
RAY: Bravo 1, this is 2.
Secondary exfil vehicles are five mikes out.
Gonna need Bravo 3's hooli to make a clean exit.
Over.
- Copy, 2.
- (CLICKS OFF RADIO) Time's up.
Jace.
Grenade! (GRUNTING) - Tango vanished.
- Must have made a break for it during the blast.
There's no sign of him.
SGS is gonna regroup and come at us heavy.
- We gotta move, Jace.
- Get him up.
Havoc, this is 1.
I pass Armstrong.
DAVIS: Copy, 1.
Exfil vehicles are three mikes out.
That's a good copy.
Good copy.
RAY: 1, this is 2.
Was that blast near your position? Over.
Good copy, 2.
We're good.
Allahu akbar! Got our HVT.
We're moving.
Consolidate on the first deck.
We'll break out there.
Building was clear.
Could have been a lone wolf tossed that grenade.
Then there's still enemy on target.
- What's Hayes doing? - He's prioritizing.
- Sonny, master key.
- Roger that.
What happened to the other guy? - Lost him in the blast.
- What do you mean "lost him"? He got hit or he squirted? What happened? War happened.
We got who matters.
I take it you and the HV didn't have the chat you were looking for.
Yeah.
The answers he has about Mandy is about to vanish with him.
You did all you could do.
And it's not over.
You have to debrief.
All right.
I'm gonna start pulling cell IPs this captured on target.
Look, there was a Tango in the room with us and Boukare.
All right, make sure you track his cell.
- Make that a priority, will ya? - Yeah.
RAY: Hang on.
So, the other guy did escape? Why didn't you have us pursue him? That guy was gone in a flash.
How'd he have his cell phone if he was held prisoner? I was too busy to ask him questions about Mandy.
I must've had tunnel vision.
Lot of that going around.
What'd you find out while we were gone? Well, I was able to get some background on Sankara, the warlord in the photo with Mandy? Prior to being snatched up by SGS, he was a player in regional arms smuggling.
He commandeered a couple of small gold mines.
You're telling me a guy that's dressed up like an extra from the Predator owns a bunch of gold mines? DAVIS: It's a plentiful resource in the area.
It's often used to support illicit activities like arms sales and money laundering.
That explains why SGS is keeping him prisoner instead of executing him when they swept through.
Force him to run the mines, adds to their war chest.
And the fact that they kept Mandy captive, too, means she has value to them.
Some reason to keep her alive.
DAVIS: Mandy's smart.
She knows how to make herself useful.
CLAY: You know, if they know that she's CIA, they'll want the intel that she can offer.
I don't see Mandy giving that up.
She was trained for that.
She knows how to walk that line.
Give 'em just enough, buy herself another day.
Protecting the Agency when no one's lifting a finger to help her.
Well, let's see where we get with these cell phone IPs.
Yo.
Hey.
Held my questions long enough.
You need to fill me in.
You heard Davis.
We're nowhere.
Let me guess, Boukare wasn't talking.
Huh? So you took a gamble on the other Tango.
Gave him a chance to escape.
Used a crash grenade? He squirts, you have Davis track his cell phone in the hopes that he contacts Sankara's captors.
Lets them know some angry Americans are hunting down their prisoner.
You get real lucky, that might give you his location, which also might be Mandy's.
(SNIFFS) Had to put a show on for Remington.
Yeah, and leave me watching from the cheap seats again.
There's way too many eyes on you right now.
I don't need you getting caught up in all this.
So you knew it was reckless and you did it anyway.
Look, I had to do something, okay, Ray? That something could get us kicked from the Teams, Jace.
Letting a terrorist loose on some desperate long shot? A long shot is all I had, Ray.
We're all messed-up over Mandy, man.
And knowing what she's going through, I would give anything to rescue her from the pain and sorrow she's feeling, but doesn't mean we get stupid, Jason.
Look, I had to make a call, okay? - You weren't there.
- Yeah, because you sent me off.
We gonna do this again? Are we really gonna do this again?! Stop.
You understand me? Mandy needs our help.
Right? I am not gonna sit back and do nothing about that.
She needs someone to fight for her.
I'm gonna fight for her.
Got it? Need to talk about what happened on target last night.
Bagged an HVT we missed three times before.
Enjoy the victory.
You telling me you don't have any concerns about the terrorist Jason let go? That shitbird was a nobody.
All right? Boukare was a dead end.
We needed a clear path to Mandy.
Look, I know why the decision was made, Clay.
It doesn't make it a good one.
Look, with-with Jason leaning on you more now, it means it's your responsibility to talk him out of his bad ideas.
You mad because Jason went rogue, or that he did it without you? I'm mad because my team is acting like a bunch of roided-up Neanderthals not using their heads.
You worried about a personal blowback from Command? What the hell does Command have to do with anything? Well, your track record as OIC isn't the cleanest.
My track record has nothing to do with you and Jason's sloppy work.
What you call sloppy, okay, I call a calculated risk.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) It was your idea.
Look, Jason was desperate, and this was the least bad option.
And if it fails, he's more desperate.
What's your plan then? Hmm.
If you are gonna be his right hand, you have got to anticipate every single Look, I know all about looking out for Bravo 1, all right, Ray? I've been watching him like a hawk since we got home from last deployment, - and you weren't around.
- Why is that? Because 20 years of combat is eventually gonna catch up with him.
I just want to make sure we can clock it before it's too late.
You think he's falling off? Just with everything that happened, I I just felt like you could use an extra hand watching Jason's six.
Yeah, well, Bravo couldn't ask for a better hall monitor.
(DOOR OPENS, SLAMS) Okay.
Anything on the squirter? Looks like he turned off his cell.
Can't you use the Stingray? Put that on and see if you can ping his location? Anything to get us off our asses here.
Come on.
Look, we alert him to our control over his device, he sends word and shuts the whole network down.
Patience is our ally right now.
Yeah, right, and time is in short supply, right? Mandy is tough.
Whatever they throw at her, she can handle.
Yeah, she's tough.
Let's just hope that she's still alive, 'cause we both know the longer this goes on, that's not good for the person who's in captivity.
The squirter is going to turn on his cell sooner rather than later.
This will work.
Let me know when he does.
(BUZZING) - (LEANNE LAUGHING) - Yo, you got a minute? Yeah, my baby girl's only a few months old, and it is pure hell being away from her.
Got any secrets how to get through this? All that missing is what makes going home so great.
Yeah, that's if home and the kid are in the same place.
Leaves me screwed.
You know, we can use a satellite to guide a missile to a toad's ass wart, and I can't get a damn signal.
You need me for something? Yeah, um last night, on the op, with the squirter.
What'd you think of all that? Well, Clay's plan fit the bill, and Jason saw that.
Why? I just noticed Jason's relying on Clay a lot.
I'm not-not saying Clay can't handle it.
I just want to make sure his ambition, along with Jason's rage, doesn't put us in the middle of a shit sandwich.
Lord knows I've had my issues with Clay's ambition in the past, but I don't doubt that his head's right when it comes to the team anymore.
He took a bullet for me on the Marsden letter.
- Maybe he's thinking better of it now.
- What you talking about? Someone tipped Command to my behavior on deployment.
Someone ratted on you? That's not the word I'd use.
I practically invited the team to do it.
Yeah, but not behind your back like this.
And nobody would do you dirty on Bravo like that.
Especially not Clay.
You know, this isn't easy for me neither.
You know, having Bravo 1 and 6 finish each other's sentences.
I mean, I thought Stella was my only competition competing for Clay's other half.
But you and Jace, you you have that.
For much longer.
So I wouldn't I wouldn't beat yourself up over this.
You saying I should get used to the way things are now? It's not like it's new.
You know, when you were in captivity, Jason turned to the next man, and Clay stepped up.
He filled in for you as Jiminy Cricket, and he kept J from crossing a line that he couldn't uncross.
Clay was in J's ear that day, and kept him from tanking his career.
Clay had his back when I couldn't.
I guess he's earned Jason's trust.
I tell you what.
Change can sting like a honeybee on cocaine, but I don't see what other choice you have.
All right.
Okey doke.
Get some rest, all right? Love you.
SONNY: Are you kidding me? Not one person up here right now can get a signal to save their ass, and Blondie 5-G here is calling home.
You want to use my connection? No, no.
My-my window passed.
I just wanted to check in and see how, uh, the "Mommy and Me" music class went.
(SCOFFS) I'm impressed by how dialed in you are.
Well, I sense surprise in your voice.
Just, uh, you know, thinking back to your reaction when you first heard that Hannah was pregnant.
Oh, yeah, I was sweating like a germophobe in a public toilet.
- But you kept operating like normal.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I guess I was just more concerned about how I was gonna tell Davis, and what business did I have being a father in the first place? What about now? Now, uh, now I just keep thinking about how this job could take me away from Leanne, and how that would unleash a flood of biblical proportion.
What's up with the inquisition? (EXHALES SHARPLY) Stella's pregnant.
What? You serious? My man, look at you.
You got some strong swimmers there.
(LAUGHS) I knew you could do it.
Why'd it take you so long to tell me? Aw, it's just, uh, it's still early.
I didn't want to be insensitive to your situation.
(LAUGHS) Insensitive to my situation.
What? What, you don't think I could handle the fact that your life is Norman Blondewell, and I'm the After School Special? - Is that it? - That's not what I meant.
Come on, man.
I-I've gotten used to the fact that you think that you're better than me.
Hey, just, I don't know pump the brakes on the pity thing.
Whatever.
(EXHALES) - DRYDEN: Master Chief Hayes.
- Yep.
Good work bringing Boukare in.
Well, Bravo's all about mission success.
I'm just happy that we're here to assist.
Well, even a Master of the Universe can admit when he's wrong.
All right, so, being the Master of the Universe, where do we stand with Mandy Ellis? What are we gonna do about that? I remember advising you on where the Agency stands on that front.
But because you brought Boukare to justice, I can share that I've devoted resources - to looking for her.
- And? No leads to report.
Unfortunately, with the manpower shortage, I can't dig in as deep as I'd like.
Well, Bravo can help with the manpower problem.
Sadly, you can't.
Bravo's accomplished its mission of cutting the head off the snake here.
Your work is done.
Hey, Dryden's sending us back to Vah Beach.
So anything you have, you better give it to me right now.
I'm working on it.
Squirter finally turned back on his cell, pinged one of Sankara's gold mines.
Okay, so that's probably where they're holding Sankara.
You got any intel oh his phone? Nothing that connects to Mandy.
(EXHALES SHARPLY) Then we go get this guy Sankara.
We rescue him and ask him questions.
Sankara means nothing to Dryden.
He's not gonna authorize the op.
Don't you understand? This is the only thread that we have; we gotta follow it.
Look, I can count my close hands on one hand.
I don't want to lose Mandy either.
Besides, looking for her, it kind of helps quiet all questions.
I actually believed her.
Believed her when she told me she was leaving the Agency.
It's kind of hard to swallow, thinking all this might be a lie.
I mean, have all the postcards that she sent me from surf retreats been part of her cover story? I can't even be sure that our friendship was real.
None of that matters, though.
- Not when she's in danger.
- Yeah, she's in danger.
And we have to do everything we can in order to save her.
And the gold mine, that's our best lead.
It is our only lead.
That doesn't make it a good one.
Look, I'm on a plane in 12 hours, you got it? You have to pull a rabbit out of your hat here, like you did for Ray in Tunisia.
If there's any way to make this gold mine a target that Dryden will approve I'll find it.
- Hey.
- Oh, you got it up there, huh? Oh, yeah.
Hate leaving with unfinished business.
You weren't in the barracks all night.
Making any headway on Mandy? No.
Hmm-mm.
Nothing.
I can't even bring myself to pack.
Even though Dryden's put up the, uh, "mission accomplished" banner.
At least it clarifies what the real mission was.
You know, less about catching bad guys and more about securing a foothold here in Africa to compete with China and Russia.
Hate thinking Mandy's paying the ultimate price for nothing more than a land grab.
Oh, that's more than a land grab.
Clearing out SGS, that's just the start.
Afghanistan 2.
0.
Right? Look, Jace, I, uh I know how much you want to find her.
I didn't mean to add more weight to your shoulders by complaining about the team's new dynamics.
It's just gotta suck knowing that, uh, one of our brothers dropped a dime on you to Command.
Thought I was solid.
Maybe they were right for speaking up.
You're solid, bro.
You're good, you're solid.
You know, I-I value Clay's input.
As much as I hate to admit it, he's our best shooter right now.
I just want to do my part for Bravo.
Yeah.
It's why you became a frogman.
That's why you can't sit on your ass knowing Mandy's out there.
Hey! I think I got something.
Okay, so, I have been trying to figure out where SGS has been manufacturing their explosives.
Based on the S-vests we recovered from the train, several chemicals were used.
But the propellant agent stood out to me: the diesel fuel.
Diesel's common in HME.
Correct.
But I was able to identify the specific brand of diesel: Confederated Petroleum.
I tracked the supply chain of large-scale deliveries of Confederated diesel to this local gold mine.
Well, the diesel was purchased in bulk, along with other chemicals commonly used in mining.
That's why it didn't raise any flags at the border.
DAVIS: Exactly.
And I wouldn't have caught it either except I discovered that even though this mine has been defunct for months, the Confederated shipments continued.
So SGS is using the diesel in the mine to assemble their weapons.
And if you dismantle this facility, it's gonna give you a foothold in the region that you've been trying to control.
I agree.
Does this target have anything to do with Mandy Ellis? It's not enough that SGS weapons get destroyed, and the U.
S.
recovers the mine instead of Russia or China? Sounds like a win-win to me.
Approved.
This gold mine utilizes trenches rather than caves, so explosives assembly isn't underground.
It makes clearing the area easier.
Be easier just to level the whole thing.
Except we're not just taking out the explosives.
IMAGEINT shows diesel deliveries are being moved into these Conex boxes.
Bet this is the assembly site.
How many Tangos on target? Pings confirm there are five cell phones currently on-site.
Could be more Tangos there, but it won't be an army.
Based on a conversation I recorded through the Stingray, they're only running a skeleton crew since we took down the train.
Our first order of business will be dismantling the weapons facility.
Then we move on to looking for Sankara, the Warlord.
Hoping Mandy's still there with him.
We do not have confirmation there are any prisoners on target.
Then this is our last shot, so we give it all we've got.
Two high.
Rest of us in the trenches.
JASON: Hold security, lead.
Dear Lord What the shit? (EXHALES) I recognize that gold tooth from Sankara's photo.
So much for getting his help on the Mandy front.
They wouldn't have done that to her, Jace.
SGS has a different type of hell for women than men.
You sure about that? Same height.
Same build.
That body is not identifiable in that condition, not without a tech.
Don't let your head go there.
JASON: Still got a mission to complete, okay? Let's go, huddle up.
Clay, Sonny, let's get the ordnance.
BIP everything.
Trent, Brock, clear the trenches.
Ray, you're with me.
SONNY: Yep.
Eyes up.
CLAY: Let's go, baby.
That Conex box wasn't on the satellite image.
Yeah, the netting must've hid it from view.
Windows.
A/C unit.
Could be where the bad guys are kicking it.
Oop.
We got three Tangos, three o'clock.
One of the squirters from earlier.
Carrier pigeon play worked.
Say when.
SONNY (OVER COMMS): Fire in the hole.
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING) Smoke 'em out the hive.
(GUNFIRE CONTINUES) Grenade! (JASON GRUNTS) RAY: Damn.
Jace! - Yeah.
- Jace, you okay? I'm good, I'm good.
I'm going in.
RAY: No, let me check you out first.
Come on! JASON: I said I'm fucking good.
I'm going in.
Guy's got the drop on us in there, Jace.
JASON: He's Winchester.
Hold security here.
I don't want to get mudsucked.
You son of a bitch.
(SIGHS) (DOOR BANGS) (GRUNTING) (GRUNTS) Ah! (GROANS) Don't shoot! Jason? Mandy.
What are you doing here? I'm here to rescue you.
Oh, you're wounded.
It's just a flesh wound.
(CHUCKLES) (JASON GRUNTS) Jason Jackpot! Glad you're alive.
You okay? I will be.
(EXHALES) (SIGHS) (INDISTINCT RADIO TRANSMISSION) So how long you been back in? I'm not.
This was a An unfortunate coincidence? A rogue operation.
(SIGHS) Truth is, once you're in the CIA, you're never truly out.
So they pulled you back in? It's more like I-I asked RAY: What? I'm not getting the math here.
You asked to be needed? An old friend needed help.
Look, ten years ago, I was in the region working undercover as a French national who worked with Sankara.
I helped him move arms up through North Africa and into Europe.
He had a younger sister.
She was my asset, but (SIGHS) We got close.
So when I learned she was in trouble It was personal.
She always did right by me.
My conscience wouldn't let me leave it alone.
What kind of trouble? Her brother was going to kill her if she didn't marry one of his foot soldiers and pledge her allegiance to the family.
And you chose to help.
There was no choice.
After all the assets I burned when I was in, I thought maybe this would help balance the scales a little.
But if you were under official cover, why'd the CIA disavow you? MANDY: I was allowed to reactivate my cover, but the Agency wouldn't fully sanction the mission.
Said it was too hot in the region for such a "low priority".
Basically, I was on my own once I was in-country.
But you went anyway.
I take no for an answer about as well as you do.
I managed to get her out, I just My exit got stalled when SGS wrapped up her brother.
Do we even want to know how you survived? Well, I am I was pretty good at my job.
So I proved my worth by sharing my knowledge of Sankara's trade routes.
So you showed you were more valuable than him.
(SCOFFS) I sold him out to save my ass.
Karma's a bitch he had it coming one way or another.
You spooks sure know how to spin that yarn, don't you? I'll give you that.
(SCOFFS) It's the truth.
I swear.
All of it.
(HELICOPTER WHIRRING) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) I have to commend you, Master Chief.
Your team's work here was incredibly fruitful.
Yeah, well, that's Tell you what, I'm just glad that we were able to move the pieces around the chessboard for you.
The foothold you've helped establish extends the blast radius in the region.
Pay dividends for years to come.
Well, victories in this, uh, war are getting harder to come by, that's for sure.
But I'll savor this one.
Well, as Chief of Station, I look forward to Bravo's next rotation through.
That's right.
No operational malpractices.
- Maybe a little bit.
- (CHUCKLES) SONNY: All right, listen, next time you miss hanging out with us, just swing by Vah Beach so we don't got to run through this again.
- You can count on it.
- All right.
Be good.
You sure you don't want to fly back with us like old times? Gotta jump through some CIA hoops before they'll let me leave.
Yeah.
Take care.
Drinks at the Bulkhead whenever you're ready.
Yeah.
I hear he's pleased you delivered him a gold mine.
Well, SGS took it from the Warlord who took it from locals who took it from Burkina Faso, so It really should go back to the state.
(SIGHS) Same as 20 years ago in Afghanistan.
CIA comes in, stirs the pot, lets the chips fall.
Mm-hmm.
Well, good luck on your debrief.
(CLEARS THROAT) I think you may be taking this "man of few words" thing a little far.
I'm just happy you're safe.
Really? Look, Sonny's right.
I am a professional liar.
But I have never lied to you.
Uh-huh.
I'll I'll let you know when I'm back stateside.
Hey, I got stabbed for you, so none of this texting bullshit.
I want a phone call.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) Yeah, I'll call you.
I promise.
