SEAL Team (2017) s05e07 Episode Script
What's Past Is Prologue
1
Previously on SEAL Team
Ray, that's Mandy.
In the SGS custody? JASON: We got to do something.
(GRUNTS) Tell me where he is.
You got 20 seconds.
RAY: Letting a terrorist loose on some desperate long shot? That something could get us kicked from the teams, Jace.
Mandy needs our help.
(GRUNTING) - (GUNSHOTS) - Don't shoot! - Mandy.
- SONNY: Something up with As? - Cancer.
- But having lost my mother, I would do anything just to get one more day with her.
- Stella's pregnant.
- (CHUCKLES) I knew you could do it.
Hoping your new DoD Fellowship will open up some new doors.
DAVIS: I'm just broadening my horizons.
(DOOR CLOSES) You're late.
Worried I'd changed my mind? No, I was just worried that you got lost.
Well, fortunately for me, GPS works in Delaware.
Stay while I rebuild the world on paper, Rose Your soul is the picture But your body is the frame But the frame is exquisite And you taste just like your name.
- This was a good idea.
- JASON: Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
It was.
It was one of my better ones, huh? I'm glad you were free this weekend.
Here.
I'm glad you called.
Even though it took a month.
So, did you, uh did you get in trouble with the Agency? - That's what you're thinking about right now? - Well, as a friend, I'm just genuinely concerned.
That's all.
- A friend.
- Yeah.
All right, buddy.
Buddy.
(CHUCKLES) (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Well, um I'm out of the Agency, so what they think doesn't matter to me.
You experiencing something like that, uh, definitely can, uh make things shaky, right? The reentry process.
Was it bumpy? I made a choice to step back into that world, and I paid the price.
But (SIGHS) It's not my first rodeo.
- Not my first kidnapping, even.
- Mm.
I know sharking when I hear it.
- Whoa.
(CHUCKLES) - (CHUCKLES) That's a compliment coming from Mr.
Ignore and Override.
- What can I tell you? I've evolved.
- Mm-hmm.
That's why we're hanging out here in Rehoboth instead of Vah Beach.
Ooh, I forgot to tell you that I, uh, spoke with Dr.
McKenna's office, and she said that she can fit us in Thursday instead of Friday.
You know, this is a It's a pretty big appointment.
She'll tell us the sex if we want to know.
(CHUCKLES) Well, don't we pretty much know anyway? I mean, Emma.
Jameelah.
Leanne.
Having a daughter as the first child seems to be the frogman way.
Yeah.
Well, little girl's probably easier than a boy, anyways.
(LAUGHS) Said no mother ever.
It's the frogman way.
Fathers and sons tend to be messy.
Is our little run-in with Ash still weighing on you? More of an ambush than run-in.
Well, Ash is always working some angle.
Just can't figure out what this one is.
I mean Why tell me that he might be dying and then just ghost me again? Maybe because he came extending an olive branch that you, uh, snapped over your knee.
Repeatedly.
I mean, have you even tried reaching out to him? Then who's ghosting who? I told you two scoops wasn't too many.
How come you got a cup? That's why.
(CHUCKLES) Because you're messy.
Knucklehead.
Can I help you? Just brightening her day.
- Our day's already bright, thanks.
- That's hers.
Not mine.
Not yours.
Want a few bucks? I didn't ask for that.
Then my daughter and I are gonna continue walking.
Appreciate you letting us by.
You okay, sweetheart? What'd he say to you? He said he liked my hat.
Said he used to be in the Navy, too.
Oh, did he? JAMEELAH: How is that true? If he was in the Navy, why is he living there? It's hard to say, baby.
Your and Mom's jobs are to help people, right? Yeah.
Can't you help him? You know what, let's talk about it with Mommy when we get home, okay? Come on, monkey.
Come on.
Oh.
Oh, there we go.
(EXHALES) So, uh, your flight was okay? - Uh, yeah? She, uh - Yeah.
Little munchkin didn't cry too much and, uh, piss off some of the passengers? Emmit gave me your grandninny's Cowboy Cookie recipe.
I took a batch on board.
Bribed the other passengers - into liking her.
- Oh, yeah? - Did you save some for Daddy? - (BABY TALK): "Sorry, Daddy.
I screamed like an asshole.
Needed a lot of bribes".
Oh, really? After I went to Costco and cleared out all the Cheerios for you? And I, uh, I got a bunch of different pureed vegetables for her, as well.
It's quite the artisanal racket they got going on there.
(CHUCKLES): Yeah.
SONNY: All right, here you go.
I guess Well, you're sleeping, - but this is your this is your new room.
- (CHUCKLES) You can take the bed.
I'm gonna be out on the couch.
Oh, and I-I got you a I got you this, uh - It's like a massage pad thing.
- Mm-hmm.
I-I just thought, you know, with the plane and everything, might have done a number on your back.
Aw, you're a big-box store's wet dream.
A small price to pay for you, uh, getting this little munchkin up here.
Few dicey FaceTimes there had me worried about you.
(SIGHS) Yeah.
You know, it can get a little squirrelly inside the wire.
Being away from my little girl.
Oh, uh, uh, Ray was gonna have a little get-together, um, tomorrow, and, uh, I was just thinking it'd be cool to you know, like, introduce her to all the guys.
- And, you know, if you need more time to - No, tomorrow's fine.
Sounds fun.
- Last one.
Get it in there.
- (CHUCKLES) Mm-hmm.
(EXHALES) Gonna eat that last fry there? - This one here? - Yeah, that one.
- Would you - Yeah, sure.
Oh.
(CHUCKLES) You got a healthy appetite.
- (CHUCKLES) Better be complimenting your own prowess.
- Wow.
- Interesting.
- (PHONE VIBRATING) Oh, God.
Just when we were hitting our stride.
JASON: Yeah.
It's not Command.
It's, uh, it's Ray.
Sonny's, uh, kid is in town.
There's a party to meet her tomorrow.
God, Sonny's a dad.
What's that like? Why don't you find out for yourself.
Isn't there a reason we're in Rehoboth? I mean, us arriving together invites a lot of eyes.
I got a great idea.
Why don't we arrive separately.
(CHUCKLES) (CHUCKLES) So, the last time we did this in J-Bad, neither of us was in a very good place.
This is not that.
Okay.
Yeah.
It isn't.
Good.
We're on the same page.
We're just two friends - Wearing robes.
(CHUCKLES) - (CHUCKLES) - Celebrating my daring rescue of you.
- It's a shame Brock wasn't the first one through that door.
(BOTH CHUCKLE) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) (COUGHING) This is where you wanted to meet? You kidding me? It's safer than the coffee shop.
Nurses can shield me from your haymakers.
(ASH CHUCKLES) Well, sit down.
Not a friendly visit, huh? I just, uh I want to know what's going on with you.
You want to know what's landed me in this chair with a needle in my chest? (EXHALES) I could tell you, but you would just google it.
If you don't tell me, I'll just ask the front desk.
Too bad you're not on the approved list of close contacts for my doctor to talk to about me.
What close contacts? (LAUGHING) Shit.
(SIGHS) Ewing's sarcoma.
Chemo's just the opening salvo.
Soften up the tumors.
Then assault via radiation or surgery.
You don't know which? Nah.
If this doesn't work, then neither.
What are the chances that it doesn't work? I didn't ask.
Why wouldn't you ask? "Never tell me the odds".
(CHUCKLING) This isn't piloting the Millennium Falcon through an asteroid field.
This is your life.
That's right.
It's my life.
My terms, Clay.
I don't need you just poking your nose around my business.
(SCOFFS) Then why'd you track me down at the coffee shop? Clay, just Come on, you drove all the way up here.
Just stay.
I got better things to do than fight with a sick guy.
That's a low blow, Clay.
JAMEELAH: She's cute.
Doesn't look a lot like you, Uncle Sonny.
(ALL LAUGH) Resemblance is strongest in her poopy-face.
You burn Sonny any harder, - he's gonna be like his tri-tip.
- SONNY: Oh.
You can make fun of my looks all you want, but don't you dare come after my meat.
Don't worry, man.
Your meat is safe.
- (ALL LAUGH) - SONNY: That's a good thing.
From everyone, if the rumors are true.
SONNY: They are true.
- (LAUGHS) - RAY: Hey.
What's got you all lit up? Can't be that watered-down beer.
- BROCK: Look who's here.
- Hi.
RAY: Mandy? Oh, well, this is unexpected, honey.
Uh I was in Langley answering some questions about Burkina Faso.
I told Jason I was thinking of swinging through to say hello.
He told me to come here.
- NAIMA: Glad you did.
- Whatever you say, spook.
(CHUCKLES) (MANDY CHUCKLES) Grant, I just sent you a link.
De La Soul tickets? At the Kennedy Center.
(BOTH CHUCKLE) Look, I mean, you've been driving down here for a month, so we should probably hang out in your neck of the woods.
The drive's gotten easier since I started taking a layover.
I'm glad that I can help break up the monotony of the road for you.
(CHUCKLES) The concert will break up the monotony of these papers.
- Mm.
- Surprised you stopped writing long enough to purchase the tickets.
Look, it's not every day that I have the chance to tell important people how their decisions impact my ability to keep operators safe.
Can't be easy sending people you're close with into the line of fire.
It's not.
I mean, they're family, so Mm.
So, say these important people listen to you.
Do you keep sending your family into the line of fire, or do you step away? Find a new path? I kind of like exploring new paths.
- Little bit.
Yeah.
- Mm.
Mm-hmm? JASON: That's great you've been able to bring Leanne here.
I mean, it's been really rough on Sonny - not being able to see her.
- HANNAH: No, well, the situation's not ideal for either of us, but I could've done worse in the co-parent lottery.
Well, you know, being his team leader, I can tell you too much praise is not good - for his motivation.
- (ALL LAUGH) Whiskey works better.
Yeah, or, uh, wrestling videos.
Or shitty country music.
- (CHUCKLES) - Wait, you don't have the cred to drag country music through the mud like that, you know, with all the French space pop music - you've been pushing on me for years.
- MANDY: What? - That is a great album.
- No, it's not.
So, what's y'all's story? Just friends.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
- Oh.
Oh, look at this.
- Let me see that.
Look at that thing.
Hey, Leanne, you want to you want to go in Goldilocks' arms? - Come here.
- There you go.
- Leanne.
Hey.
- STELLA: Here we go.
SONNY: That's what it feels like to be held by a princess.
(ALL LAUGH) Whenever you need to blackmail your dad, you let me know.
All right? I know some things.
- (STELLA LAUGHS) Yeah? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
(LAUGHS) - Yeah.
(LAUGHS) - You are behind.
Noticed you - Oh, um - Um - No, no, no, no.
No.
- Stella is not drinking.
- Yeah, I'm good.
- SONNY: No drinking.
She's good.
- STELLA: Yeah.
- Yep.
- Whoa.
You two are expecting? Um (LAUGHTER, MURMURING) Look, today is about Sonny and Hannah's baby.
Not, not ours.
Come on, wait, come on, this deserves a toast.
All right? Come on.
First of all, I want to welcome Hannah and baby Leanne here to the, uh, Bravo house, right? And, uh, here's to Clay and Stella.
And to a great future.
- SONNY (LAUGHING): Yeah.
- Any addition to the Bravo family is just a reminder that we have to fight just as hard inside the wire as we do outside the wire, so - cheers.
- ALL: Cheers! All right, well, that's two Bravo babies in one year.
Must be something in the DEVGRU water.
Then you better not be drinking it, 'cause I'm closed for business.
(LAUGHTER, CLAMORING) - JASON: Why? - NAIMA: No more.
(LAUGHING) Oh, my God.
These two are perfect.
(PHONES BUZZING) - No - Uh-oh.
(PHONES DING, CHIME) Seeing is believing.
Seeing Sonny as a dad, it's not so odd after seeing it.
No, I meant you.
- Oh.
- You found a way to be both Jason Hayes and Bravo 1.
Now you're making sure your guys are doing it, too.
It's a far cry from J-bad.
All right, for both of us? Definitely.
I'm sorry Rehoboth got cut short.
I guess I'll see you when I see you? Yeah.
I'll see you when I see you.
Bryce Nichols.
Agency case officer who stayed in country after the U.
S.
withdrew from Afghanistan.
"Withdrew" must be cake-eater for abandoned.
A month ago, his cover was blown and he disappeared.
He was presumed dead, but the Agency picked up intel that the Taliban are holding him.
Current intel shows they have Nichols at FOB Fenty.
Sun's barely set on our last stay there, and Taliban's already taken it over.
Probably not turning it into a gender studies center.
It appears they're using the base as a supply depot.
CLAY: Yeah, supplies that we left behind.
We should learn to clean up after ourselves.
FOB's pretty secure, so, look, how many enemy we got on target? Taliban are only running a skeleton crew to secure it.
All the equipment and weaponry we left means we're facing a force armed as well or better than we are.
Huge tactical advantage gone.
No, we are the tactical advantage, all right? Our best way in is a jump.
So do we have, uh, eyes in the sky watching over us? We're gonna send a backpack platform with you.
- Agency have a plan to get us out? - Ground Branch has arranged a driver and indig vehicle to get you and Nichols across the border to Kashmir.
Wheels up in an hour.
Who says you can't go home again? (INDISTINCT RADIO TRANSMISSION) We got to be the first frogmen to jump into Afghanistan in 20 years, right? It was probably since, uh, Team Three? Progress, War on Terror-style.
Yeah, yeah.
Trillions of dollars that we dumped into that war there, and now we're using paper airplanes - for overwatch.
- Hey, hey, this, uh, paper plane's a missile.
Show some respect, all right? Hey, boss dog.
Spent most of the flight in seclusion.
(EXHALES) You worried about the op? Ah plan's solid.
I agree.
Feelings about where we're heading aren't though.
I mean, we spent more time in Afghanistan than home some years.
It ain't easy watching, uh, all our work get undone on cable news.
Look, our job is executing the mission, all right, not to express our feelings.
So you were in rare form at the party.
- That right? - Yeah.
Yeah, curious timing with, uh, Mandy being around, I mean Hope you guys got to spend some time together.
Ooh, what's that supposed to mean? It means, it's just that the way you were acting when we were looking for her something was driving you.
Maybe that same something that had you giddy - as a pig in shit at my house, huh? - Okay, you know what? She's my friend, okay? I went after her the same way I went after you when I was looking for you.
- Got it? - Uh-huh.
- Okay, friends.
- Yeah.
- You know, you just keep telling yourself that.
- Mm-hmm.
But from where I sit, you two make a lot of sense together.
Damn shame if you can't see that for yourself.
Hey, fellas, time to get ready.
RAY: Captain.
(GRUNTS) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Still looks like home from up here.
Almost.
Taliban's added some personal touches.
Havoc, this is 1.
I pass James.
Havoc copies James.
Be advised, video feed shows what appears to be a series of cages at the outdoor gym.
A group of unknowns have gathered there.
How copy? It's good copy.
Must've missed a DRMO auction.
We just leave everything? Haven't fixed a bridge at home in 50 years, but least our tax dollars armed up these Cheeto dicks.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER, CLAMORING) That's Nichols.
Low port, trigger discipline.
Textbook.
Learned from the best.
I guess we did have an impact here.
Let's focus up.
Eyes on the prize.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) Sonny, Trent, move quietly.
No shots fired.
Cover down on them.
Good? Are you serious right now? Got this.
Let's move.
Come on, we got to move.
Hey, you all right? - You all right? - How is he? He's conscious, but in rough shape.
Help him out, let's go.
Get him up, we got to move.
Havoc, this is 1, I pass Vaughan.
DAVIS: Bravo 1, Havoc copies Vaughan.
There are others who need help.
Whoa! Where, on the base? Americans? My asset.
I can't just leave her behind.
She's in danger.
Hey, look, she's not the mission.
We got to move.
Let's go.
Mustang.
Sally.
How many? Seven.
JASON: What's the route looking like? Roads are rough, but Taliban activity's cooled down.
We're ready.
CLAY: Everything we tried to do here just erased.
Mm, depends on what you think we were trying to do here.
We gave them a blueprint - for democracy.
- SONNY: Yep.
And they wiped their asses with it.
All the good people here who stuck their necks out to help us, marked for death while we beat feet.
That's some legacy we left.
Hey, your asset where is she? Hiding out in Jalalabad.
Hey, stop the truck! RAY: Jas, the hell are you doing? Stop the truck! Sticking my fucking neck out, that's what I'm doing.
I know one life won't change what we did here, but I'm not gonna sit back and do nothing.
CLAY: All our terps and their families, I wish I had a chance to spare them the fate they likely met.
Least we can do is right one wrong.
All right, look tell us all about your asset.
Benesh Noor.
She helped in an information campaign to destabilize Islamist control in the area.
Used Agency money to establish schools.
Educated thousands of girls.
Well, the Taliban's definitely gonna have a target on her back.
SONNY: Well, I hate to be the party pooper, but there's no way in hell that command's gonna approve it.
This would be a political rescue, - not a strategic one.
- You know, it's pretty clear that every decision the cake-eaters made here for the last 20 years has been wrong.
There's no chance in hell - they're gonna get this one right.
- JASON: Then we don't give them - the opportunity.
- RAY: Better to beg forgiveness - than ask permission.
- Damn straight.
Okay, hey! Change of plans.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) What the hell's going on? Th-They're headed back the way they came.
Jesus, what now? Bravo 1, this is Havoc Base.
Your direction of travel has changed, please advise.
Over.
Havoc, this is 1, Agency asset received intel our route is compromised.
Calling an audible.
Sun's coming up, so we're gonna F.
O.
this bird.
Bravo out.
You believe him? I believe he'll let us know if they need help.
Not that we can give it to them.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) Trent, Brock, pull security outside with Nichols.
Everyone else on me.
They won't let you in without me.
You good enough to move? I am for Benesh.
(SPEAKING PASHTO) (SPEAKING PASHTO) Salam.
Salam.
We're here to get you out.
Do you have room for all of us? We'll make it work.
Wish we had room for everyone still hiding out.
We need to get out of Dodge.
- Sun's up.
- Okay.
Clay, Ray, post secure at the window, will you? (NOOR SPEAKING PASHTO) Ma'am, we need to move, okay? We're ready now.
(SPEAKING PASHTO) TRENT: All stations, I'm looking at eight Tali headed door to door.
Looks like a cordon and search.
- Speaking of shifting sides.
- I got them.
Rolling in one of our Humvees with a 50 cal.
, to boot.
Killed by our own weapons.
Now, there's some legacy for you.
(MEN SHOUTING) - What's the call, Jace? - We need to take out that .
50.
Not with these little pea shooters.
Well, death squad's packing America's finest punch, too.
They got more firepower than we do.
Sustained gunfight's gonna draw more soldiers.
That's why we're gonna end this fast.
Bravo 4, how many birds we got left? TRENT: Two.
Get them to a roof.
Clay, overwatch, rooftop.
- Ray, on me.
- Roger.
(MEN SHOUTING OUTSIDE) Armor on that Humvee's gonna laugh at the rounds - we're packing.
- We got something a little bigger for 'em.
- Ray, punch out.
- Roger.
JASON: 6, are you in position? 1, this is 6.
In position.
Bravo 4.
How's it looking? It's in the air.
- 6 is ready.
- We're set.
All right.
(GUNFIRE) Bravo 4, drop the hammer! Jesus! Come on, Trent.
Stay on target.
Trent, we're getting chewed up! Stay on target.
Trent! Trent! Coming in hot! Boom.
SONNY: Lucky for us, despite all their upgrade in weaponry Talimonsters still can't shoot for shit.
And to think, all the firepower we needed fit into a backpack.
Well, technology wins battles, not wars.
It took one day for 20 years of work to unravel.
I just hate thinking the last 20 years was a waste of time.
And lives.
- Don't forget, trillions of dollars.
- Yeah.
CLAY: Yeah, all that money could've been used to help the warfighters paying the price back home.
Yeah, look, it's a graveyard of empires.
The Brits, then Russia, now us.
Should've learned from history that some things can't be fixed.
Maybe if we'd have came to Afghanistan thinking more about what they needed instead of what we needed, less blood would have been spilled.
TRENT: None of this is on the warfighters.
I mean, politicians have always had us fighting with one hand tied behind our backs.
CLAY: Didn't have to be this way.
They just kept changing our reasons for being here.
It's like a self-licking ice cream cone.
Well, the Taliban didn't defeat us.
Mm-mmm.
We were our own worst enemy.
Uh-oh.
Hope you're not reporting Bravo for going off the reservation.
I am just jotting down a few thoughts for a paper I'm writing.
Well, if you ever need help proofreading, I, uh I'm definitely not the guy to help.
(BOTH LAUGH) Hey, I'm sorry I missed Ray's party.
I hope it wasn't my only chance to meet Leanne and Hannah before they go back home.
It's all good, you know, but, uh, you can always grab a bite with us when we get back.
Oh, I would, but I'm uh, driving up to D.
C.
Driving up to D.
C.
, mm-hmm.
The, uh, pencil pusher from the bar? - Yes, wow.
- (LAUGHS) Uh-oh.
Okay.
(CHUCKLES) You know whatever else you and I have been to each other, we've always been friends.
And that's that's history worth remembering.
Hmm.
Yeah.
You know no matter how hard we fight, some things just can't be fixed.
Water, toothbrush, toothpaste Oh, no.
We forgot the socks.
No, we didn't.
We got seven pair right here.
One for each day of the week.
Hello? Well, wait, hold up, baby girl.
Let, uh, Daddy go in first, okay? (GRUNTS) Hello? Yo.
Naima.
What's wrong with him? RAY: Uh, nothing, baby.
He's just sick.
Don't worry about it.
Mommy's gonna help him.
But I need you to sit here, okay? Talk to me.
Hand me my Narcan out of my purse.
RAY: All right.
Here you go.
Yes, 911? Can you please send an ambulance to the Plaza Shops south alley? (SPRAYS) (COUGHS) All right, airway's clear.
- Roll him over on his side.
- (COUGHING) Sam Hughes.
Deeper.
(SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE) Guess he really was Navy.
(EXHALES) Stop right here.
Just wait one sec, okay? Take it off.
Ta-da.
Is the surprise behind the minivan? - (LAUGHS) - (HANNAH CHUCKLES) - No, the-the surprise is the minivan.
- (CAR DOORS UNLOCK) Am I supposed to drive Leanne back to Texas in this thing? Well, it's supposed to be our car.
- Our car? - Yeah.
Like a shared car? What are you suggesting here? I'm suggesting that you and Leanne move here.
Live together as a family.
But I-I own a business in Texas.
And you and I Okay, I know there's other details that we got to work out, but as far as you and I go Look, Leanne might've been an accident, but she ain't no mistake.
And if you can tell me right now that you don't feel anything real between us, then I-I'll I'll drop it.
But if there's If there's any shot, then don't you think we owe it to our daughter to at least try to make our family whole? Till you cut and run on me again.
(CHUCKLES) I learned my lesson.
I have.
Them running days are over.
Let me just try something.
Thanks for coming.
Yeah.
I was, um, surprised to get the invite.
I'm sure Stella put you up to this.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Which answer's gonna get you inside the door? (LAUGHS) What the hell am I doing here? - (DOOR CLOSES) - Cards on the table, I, uh I looked up Ewing's sarcoma.
Listen, if you brought me in here to talk about odds, I am gonna leave.
I didn't.
Yeah, I went by the hospital 'cause I needed something from you.
What do you need? Doesn't matter.
Look, I-I realized that instead of focusing on what I need, I should consider what you need.
I already told you, I don't need anything, son.
Then why'd you show up in town? Don't say Coop's boat, either.
When you're staring down the wrong end of a bad diagnosis, it gets you thinking a little bit.
And I know I've messed things up, Clay, but whatever time I have left I'd like to try to repair things, if you'll let me.
You know, most of my life, you've been nothing more than a chip on my shoulder.
I don't know, I might not need that chip anymore.
Yeah.
(CHUCKLES) And maybe remembering what it's like to be a son will help me to be a better dad.
(STELLA CLEARS THROAT) Hi.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Wow.
(CHUCKLES) You, uh, you look beautiful.
Oh, thank you.
How are you feeling? ASH: Uh, I'm a little better.
- Yeah? - ASH: Yeah.
- Good.
You want to sit? - Definitely.
Oh, gosh.
- (DISHES CLINK) - Mm.
- CLAY: Here you go.
- STELLA: Oh.
- (CLEARS THROAT) None-none for me, thank you.
I - ASH: Wow.
- All right.
- STELLA: Yeah.
Peanut butter and banana sandwich coming up, baby.
- Yes, please.
- Wow.
This smells used.
- (STELLA CHUCKLES) - What is it? - It's lentil stew.
- ASH: Oh.
The The website says that it's full of potassium and iron and fiber.
It's all the things you need right now.
Um, I will trade this for a banana sandwich, if you don't mind.
- (STELLA AND ASH CHUCKLE) - I do mind.
Look, Stella's growing a life right now, okay? You're-you're growing the opposite.
(STELLA AND ASH LAUGHING) Uh, do you need any help, my love? Oh, God.
No.
No, no.
I'm I'm good.
You guys just relax.
I got this.
(TOY SQUEAKING) (DOOR UNLOCKS) (WHISTLES) - Hey.
- Oh! Wait a second.
This is a surprise.
Made a stop on the way down.
Wait a second.
Dalessandro's? What is the occasion? EMMA: Came home to raid the storage unit, grab some stuff for me and Brad's new place.
You know what? Bringing Italian does not make up for the fact that, uh, you're moving in with Brad when I told you that you couldn't.
We were looking for your blessing, not your approval.
Oh.
Isn't that exciting.
What are you doing? - (EMMA EXHALES) - Whoa, whoa, wait.
Hello? - What are you doing? - Uh, need keys for the truck.
Okay.
Well, they're What's this? - (SIGHS, CHUCKLES) - The Sands at Rehoboth.
- (CHUCKLES) - Sounds romantic.
- Hope Eva had a nice time.
- (LAUGHS) You're something else.
Eva? Who's Eva? Someone hasn't been taking his memory pills.
Eva's the woman Aunt Naima tried to fix you up with? Oh, no.
No, it's not it's not Eva.
She failed on all levels.
Sorry.
- But you definitely weren't alone.
- (BOTTLES CLINK) - Do you remember this woman's name? - (REFRIGERATOR DOOR CLOSES) (SIGHS) Yeah, of course, I remember her name.
(CHUCKLES) - Ooh, you like her.
- (LAUGHS) Stop.
Who is it? - Stop.
She-she - Do I know her? Would you Em, stop, okay? This is weird having this kind of conversation with you.
It can't be worse than talking about my relationship.
- (SIGHS) - (CHUCKLES) Mandy.
- Mandy.
Yeah, Mandy.
- Mandy? - Dad, that's incredible.
- Yeah.
Wait, I thought she moved.
How often do you see each other? - You guys have always been so close.
- Stop.
Just pump the brakes, okay? - We're just having fun here.
- Too much history between you two for it to not mean anything.
You were wrong.
This is worse than talking about Brad.
- Don't do that.
- Really is.
Don't do what? - Deny what you're feeling.
- (LAUGHS) If you're excited about Mandy and clearly you are then be excited.
I know you have an arsenal of excuses to put ahead of your happiness, but please don't be your own worst enemy, for a change.
(CHUCKLES) You want to come with me to storage? - What? No, I don't want to come with you to the storage.
- (CHUCKLES) Okay.
Uh, I'm good.
I have everything I need here.
(DOOR OPENS) (DOOR CLOSES) (SIGHS SOFTLY) Hey, Mandy.
In the SGS custody? JASON: We got to do something.
(GRUNTS) Tell me where he is.
You got 20 seconds.
RAY: Letting a terrorist loose on some desperate long shot? That something could get us kicked from the teams, Jace.
Mandy needs our help.
(GRUNTING) - (GUNSHOTS) - Don't shoot! - Mandy.
- SONNY: Something up with As? - Cancer.
- But having lost my mother, I would do anything just to get one more day with her.
- Stella's pregnant.
- (CHUCKLES) I knew you could do it.
Hoping your new DoD Fellowship will open up some new doors.
DAVIS: I'm just broadening my horizons.
(DOOR CLOSES) You're late.
Worried I'd changed my mind? No, I was just worried that you got lost.
Well, fortunately for me, GPS works in Delaware.
Stay while I rebuild the world on paper, Rose Your soul is the picture But your body is the frame But the frame is exquisite And you taste just like your name.
- This was a good idea.
- JASON: Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
It was.
It was one of my better ones, huh? I'm glad you were free this weekend.
Here.
I'm glad you called.
Even though it took a month.
So, did you, uh did you get in trouble with the Agency? - That's what you're thinking about right now? - Well, as a friend, I'm just genuinely concerned.
That's all.
- A friend.
- Yeah.
All right, buddy.
Buddy.
(CHUCKLES) (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Well, um I'm out of the Agency, so what they think doesn't matter to me.
You experiencing something like that, uh, definitely can, uh make things shaky, right? The reentry process.
Was it bumpy? I made a choice to step back into that world, and I paid the price.
But (SIGHS) It's not my first rodeo.
- Not my first kidnapping, even.
- Mm.
I know sharking when I hear it.
- Whoa.
(CHUCKLES) - (CHUCKLES) That's a compliment coming from Mr.
Ignore and Override.
- What can I tell you? I've evolved.
- Mm-hmm.
That's why we're hanging out here in Rehoboth instead of Vah Beach.
Ooh, I forgot to tell you that I, uh, spoke with Dr.
McKenna's office, and she said that she can fit us in Thursday instead of Friday.
You know, this is a It's a pretty big appointment.
She'll tell us the sex if we want to know.
(CHUCKLES) Well, don't we pretty much know anyway? I mean, Emma.
Jameelah.
Leanne.
Having a daughter as the first child seems to be the frogman way.
Yeah.
Well, little girl's probably easier than a boy, anyways.
(LAUGHS) Said no mother ever.
It's the frogman way.
Fathers and sons tend to be messy.
Is our little run-in with Ash still weighing on you? More of an ambush than run-in.
Well, Ash is always working some angle.
Just can't figure out what this one is.
I mean Why tell me that he might be dying and then just ghost me again? Maybe because he came extending an olive branch that you, uh, snapped over your knee.
Repeatedly.
I mean, have you even tried reaching out to him? Then who's ghosting who? I told you two scoops wasn't too many.
How come you got a cup? That's why.
(CHUCKLES) Because you're messy.
Knucklehead.
Can I help you? Just brightening her day.
- Our day's already bright, thanks.
- That's hers.
Not mine.
Not yours.
Want a few bucks? I didn't ask for that.
Then my daughter and I are gonna continue walking.
Appreciate you letting us by.
You okay, sweetheart? What'd he say to you? He said he liked my hat.
Said he used to be in the Navy, too.
Oh, did he? JAMEELAH: How is that true? If he was in the Navy, why is he living there? It's hard to say, baby.
Your and Mom's jobs are to help people, right? Yeah.
Can't you help him? You know what, let's talk about it with Mommy when we get home, okay? Come on, monkey.
Come on.
Oh.
Oh, there we go.
(EXHALES) So, uh, your flight was okay? - Uh, yeah? She, uh - Yeah.
Little munchkin didn't cry too much and, uh, piss off some of the passengers? Emmit gave me your grandninny's Cowboy Cookie recipe.
I took a batch on board.
Bribed the other passengers - into liking her.
- Oh, yeah? - Did you save some for Daddy? - (BABY TALK): "Sorry, Daddy.
I screamed like an asshole.
Needed a lot of bribes".
Oh, really? After I went to Costco and cleared out all the Cheerios for you? And I, uh, I got a bunch of different pureed vegetables for her, as well.
It's quite the artisanal racket they got going on there.
(CHUCKLES): Yeah.
SONNY: All right, here you go.
I guess Well, you're sleeping, - but this is your this is your new room.
- (CHUCKLES) You can take the bed.
I'm gonna be out on the couch.
Oh, and I-I got you a I got you this, uh - It's like a massage pad thing.
- Mm-hmm.
I-I just thought, you know, with the plane and everything, might have done a number on your back.
Aw, you're a big-box store's wet dream.
A small price to pay for you, uh, getting this little munchkin up here.
Few dicey FaceTimes there had me worried about you.
(SIGHS) Yeah.
You know, it can get a little squirrelly inside the wire.
Being away from my little girl.
Oh, uh, uh, Ray was gonna have a little get-together, um, tomorrow, and, uh, I was just thinking it'd be cool to you know, like, introduce her to all the guys.
- And, you know, if you need more time to - No, tomorrow's fine.
Sounds fun.
- Last one.
Get it in there.
- (CHUCKLES) Mm-hmm.
(EXHALES) Gonna eat that last fry there? - This one here? - Yeah, that one.
- Would you - Yeah, sure.
Oh.
(CHUCKLES) You got a healthy appetite.
- (CHUCKLES) Better be complimenting your own prowess.
- Wow.
- Interesting.
- (PHONE VIBRATING) Oh, God.
Just when we were hitting our stride.
JASON: Yeah.
It's not Command.
It's, uh, it's Ray.
Sonny's, uh, kid is in town.
There's a party to meet her tomorrow.
God, Sonny's a dad.
What's that like? Why don't you find out for yourself.
Isn't there a reason we're in Rehoboth? I mean, us arriving together invites a lot of eyes.
I got a great idea.
Why don't we arrive separately.
(CHUCKLES) (CHUCKLES) So, the last time we did this in J-Bad, neither of us was in a very good place.
This is not that.
Okay.
Yeah.
It isn't.
Good.
We're on the same page.
We're just two friends - Wearing robes.
(CHUCKLES) - (CHUCKLES) - Celebrating my daring rescue of you.
- It's a shame Brock wasn't the first one through that door.
(BOTH CHUCKLE) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) (COUGHING) This is where you wanted to meet? You kidding me? It's safer than the coffee shop.
Nurses can shield me from your haymakers.
(ASH CHUCKLES) Well, sit down.
Not a friendly visit, huh? I just, uh I want to know what's going on with you.
You want to know what's landed me in this chair with a needle in my chest? (EXHALES) I could tell you, but you would just google it.
If you don't tell me, I'll just ask the front desk.
Too bad you're not on the approved list of close contacts for my doctor to talk to about me.
What close contacts? (LAUGHING) Shit.
(SIGHS) Ewing's sarcoma.
Chemo's just the opening salvo.
Soften up the tumors.
Then assault via radiation or surgery.
You don't know which? Nah.
If this doesn't work, then neither.
What are the chances that it doesn't work? I didn't ask.
Why wouldn't you ask? "Never tell me the odds".
(CHUCKLING) This isn't piloting the Millennium Falcon through an asteroid field.
This is your life.
That's right.
It's my life.
My terms, Clay.
I don't need you just poking your nose around my business.
(SCOFFS) Then why'd you track me down at the coffee shop? Clay, just Come on, you drove all the way up here.
Just stay.
I got better things to do than fight with a sick guy.
That's a low blow, Clay.
JAMEELAH: She's cute.
Doesn't look a lot like you, Uncle Sonny.
(ALL LAUGH) Resemblance is strongest in her poopy-face.
You burn Sonny any harder, - he's gonna be like his tri-tip.
- SONNY: Oh.
You can make fun of my looks all you want, but don't you dare come after my meat.
Don't worry, man.
Your meat is safe.
- (ALL LAUGH) - SONNY: That's a good thing.
From everyone, if the rumors are true.
SONNY: They are true.
- (LAUGHS) - RAY: Hey.
What's got you all lit up? Can't be that watered-down beer.
- BROCK: Look who's here.
- Hi.
RAY: Mandy? Oh, well, this is unexpected, honey.
Uh I was in Langley answering some questions about Burkina Faso.
I told Jason I was thinking of swinging through to say hello.
He told me to come here.
- NAIMA: Glad you did.
- Whatever you say, spook.
(CHUCKLES) (MANDY CHUCKLES) Grant, I just sent you a link.
De La Soul tickets? At the Kennedy Center.
(BOTH CHUCKLE) Look, I mean, you've been driving down here for a month, so we should probably hang out in your neck of the woods.
The drive's gotten easier since I started taking a layover.
I'm glad that I can help break up the monotony of the road for you.
(CHUCKLES) The concert will break up the monotony of these papers.
- Mm.
- Surprised you stopped writing long enough to purchase the tickets.
Look, it's not every day that I have the chance to tell important people how their decisions impact my ability to keep operators safe.
Can't be easy sending people you're close with into the line of fire.
It's not.
I mean, they're family, so Mm.
So, say these important people listen to you.
Do you keep sending your family into the line of fire, or do you step away? Find a new path? I kind of like exploring new paths.
- Little bit.
Yeah.
- Mm.
Mm-hmm? JASON: That's great you've been able to bring Leanne here.
I mean, it's been really rough on Sonny - not being able to see her.
- HANNAH: No, well, the situation's not ideal for either of us, but I could've done worse in the co-parent lottery.
Well, you know, being his team leader, I can tell you too much praise is not good - for his motivation.
- (ALL LAUGH) Whiskey works better.
Yeah, or, uh, wrestling videos.
Or shitty country music.
- (CHUCKLES) - Wait, you don't have the cred to drag country music through the mud like that, you know, with all the French space pop music - you've been pushing on me for years.
- MANDY: What? - That is a great album.
- No, it's not.
So, what's y'all's story? Just friends.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
- Oh.
Oh, look at this.
- Let me see that.
Look at that thing.
Hey, Leanne, you want to you want to go in Goldilocks' arms? - Come here.
- There you go.
- Leanne.
Hey.
- STELLA: Here we go.
SONNY: That's what it feels like to be held by a princess.
(ALL LAUGH) Whenever you need to blackmail your dad, you let me know.
All right? I know some things.
- (STELLA LAUGHS) Yeah? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
(LAUGHS) - Yeah.
(LAUGHS) - You are behind.
Noticed you - Oh, um - Um - No, no, no, no.
No.
- Stella is not drinking.
- Yeah, I'm good.
- SONNY: No drinking.
She's good.
- STELLA: Yeah.
- Yep.
- Whoa.
You two are expecting? Um (LAUGHTER, MURMURING) Look, today is about Sonny and Hannah's baby.
Not, not ours.
Come on, wait, come on, this deserves a toast.
All right? Come on.
First of all, I want to welcome Hannah and baby Leanne here to the, uh, Bravo house, right? And, uh, here's to Clay and Stella.
And to a great future.
- SONNY (LAUGHING): Yeah.
- Any addition to the Bravo family is just a reminder that we have to fight just as hard inside the wire as we do outside the wire, so - cheers.
- ALL: Cheers! All right, well, that's two Bravo babies in one year.
Must be something in the DEVGRU water.
Then you better not be drinking it, 'cause I'm closed for business.
(LAUGHTER, CLAMORING) - JASON: Why? - NAIMA: No more.
(LAUGHING) Oh, my God.
These two are perfect.
(PHONES BUZZING) - No - Uh-oh.
(PHONES DING, CHIME) Seeing is believing.
Seeing Sonny as a dad, it's not so odd after seeing it.
No, I meant you.
- Oh.
- You found a way to be both Jason Hayes and Bravo 1.
Now you're making sure your guys are doing it, too.
It's a far cry from J-bad.
All right, for both of us? Definitely.
I'm sorry Rehoboth got cut short.
I guess I'll see you when I see you? Yeah.
I'll see you when I see you.
Bryce Nichols.
Agency case officer who stayed in country after the U.
S.
withdrew from Afghanistan.
"Withdrew" must be cake-eater for abandoned.
A month ago, his cover was blown and he disappeared.
He was presumed dead, but the Agency picked up intel that the Taliban are holding him.
Current intel shows they have Nichols at FOB Fenty.
Sun's barely set on our last stay there, and Taliban's already taken it over.
Probably not turning it into a gender studies center.
It appears they're using the base as a supply depot.
CLAY: Yeah, supplies that we left behind.
We should learn to clean up after ourselves.
FOB's pretty secure, so, look, how many enemy we got on target? Taliban are only running a skeleton crew to secure it.
All the equipment and weaponry we left means we're facing a force armed as well or better than we are.
Huge tactical advantage gone.
No, we are the tactical advantage, all right? Our best way in is a jump.
So do we have, uh, eyes in the sky watching over us? We're gonna send a backpack platform with you.
- Agency have a plan to get us out? - Ground Branch has arranged a driver and indig vehicle to get you and Nichols across the border to Kashmir.
Wheels up in an hour.
Who says you can't go home again? (INDISTINCT RADIO TRANSMISSION) We got to be the first frogmen to jump into Afghanistan in 20 years, right? It was probably since, uh, Team Three? Progress, War on Terror-style.
Yeah, yeah.
Trillions of dollars that we dumped into that war there, and now we're using paper airplanes - for overwatch.
- Hey, hey, this, uh, paper plane's a missile.
Show some respect, all right? Hey, boss dog.
Spent most of the flight in seclusion.
(EXHALES) You worried about the op? Ah plan's solid.
I agree.
Feelings about where we're heading aren't though.
I mean, we spent more time in Afghanistan than home some years.
It ain't easy watching, uh, all our work get undone on cable news.
Look, our job is executing the mission, all right, not to express our feelings.
So you were in rare form at the party.
- That right? - Yeah.
Yeah, curious timing with, uh, Mandy being around, I mean Hope you guys got to spend some time together.
Ooh, what's that supposed to mean? It means, it's just that the way you were acting when we were looking for her something was driving you.
Maybe that same something that had you giddy - as a pig in shit at my house, huh? - Okay, you know what? She's my friend, okay? I went after her the same way I went after you when I was looking for you.
- Got it? - Uh-huh.
- Okay, friends.
- Yeah.
- You know, you just keep telling yourself that.
- Mm-hmm.
But from where I sit, you two make a lot of sense together.
Damn shame if you can't see that for yourself.
Hey, fellas, time to get ready.
RAY: Captain.
(GRUNTS) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Still looks like home from up here.
Almost.
Taliban's added some personal touches.
Havoc, this is 1.
I pass James.
Havoc copies James.
Be advised, video feed shows what appears to be a series of cages at the outdoor gym.
A group of unknowns have gathered there.
How copy? It's good copy.
Must've missed a DRMO auction.
We just leave everything? Haven't fixed a bridge at home in 50 years, but least our tax dollars armed up these Cheeto dicks.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER, CLAMORING) That's Nichols.
Low port, trigger discipline.
Textbook.
Learned from the best.
I guess we did have an impact here.
Let's focus up.
Eyes on the prize.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) Sonny, Trent, move quietly.
No shots fired.
Cover down on them.
Good? Are you serious right now? Got this.
Let's move.
Come on, we got to move.
Hey, you all right? - You all right? - How is he? He's conscious, but in rough shape.
Help him out, let's go.
Get him up, we got to move.
Havoc, this is 1, I pass Vaughan.
DAVIS: Bravo 1, Havoc copies Vaughan.
There are others who need help.
Whoa! Where, on the base? Americans? My asset.
I can't just leave her behind.
She's in danger.
Hey, look, she's not the mission.
We got to move.
Let's go.
Mustang.
Sally.
How many? Seven.
JASON: What's the route looking like? Roads are rough, but Taliban activity's cooled down.
We're ready.
CLAY: Everything we tried to do here just erased.
Mm, depends on what you think we were trying to do here.
We gave them a blueprint - for democracy.
- SONNY: Yep.
And they wiped their asses with it.
All the good people here who stuck their necks out to help us, marked for death while we beat feet.
That's some legacy we left.
Hey, your asset where is she? Hiding out in Jalalabad.
Hey, stop the truck! RAY: Jas, the hell are you doing? Stop the truck! Sticking my fucking neck out, that's what I'm doing.
I know one life won't change what we did here, but I'm not gonna sit back and do nothing.
CLAY: All our terps and their families, I wish I had a chance to spare them the fate they likely met.
Least we can do is right one wrong.
All right, look tell us all about your asset.
Benesh Noor.
She helped in an information campaign to destabilize Islamist control in the area.
Used Agency money to establish schools.
Educated thousands of girls.
Well, the Taliban's definitely gonna have a target on her back.
SONNY: Well, I hate to be the party pooper, but there's no way in hell that command's gonna approve it.
This would be a political rescue, - not a strategic one.
- You know, it's pretty clear that every decision the cake-eaters made here for the last 20 years has been wrong.
There's no chance in hell - they're gonna get this one right.
- JASON: Then we don't give them - the opportunity.
- RAY: Better to beg forgiveness - than ask permission.
- Damn straight.
Okay, hey! Change of plans.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) What the hell's going on? Th-They're headed back the way they came.
Jesus, what now? Bravo 1, this is Havoc Base.
Your direction of travel has changed, please advise.
Over.
Havoc, this is 1, Agency asset received intel our route is compromised.
Calling an audible.
Sun's coming up, so we're gonna F.
O.
this bird.
Bravo out.
You believe him? I believe he'll let us know if they need help.
Not that we can give it to them.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) Trent, Brock, pull security outside with Nichols.
Everyone else on me.
They won't let you in without me.
You good enough to move? I am for Benesh.
(SPEAKING PASHTO) (SPEAKING PASHTO) Salam.
Salam.
We're here to get you out.
Do you have room for all of us? We'll make it work.
Wish we had room for everyone still hiding out.
We need to get out of Dodge.
- Sun's up.
- Okay.
Clay, Ray, post secure at the window, will you? (NOOR SPEAKING PASHTO) Ma'am, we need to move, okay? We're ready now.
(SPEAKING PASHTO) TRENT: All stations, I'm looking at eight Tali headed door to door.
Looks like a cordon and search.
- Speaking of shifting sides.
- I got them.
Rolling in one of our Humvees with a 50 cal.
, to boot.
Killed by our own weapons.
Now, there's some legacy for you.
(MEN SHOUTING) - What's the call, Jace? - We need to take out that .
50.
Not with these little pea shooters.
Well, death squad's packing America's finest punch, too.
They got more firepower than we do.
Sustained gunfight's gonna draw more soldiers.
That's why we're gonna end this fast.
Bravo 4, how many birds we got left? TRENT: Two.
Get them to a roof.
Clay, overwatch, rooftop.
- Ray, on me.
- Roger.
(MEN SHOUTING OUTSIDE) Armor on that Humvee's gonna laugh at the rounds - we're packing.
- We got something a little bigger for 'em.
- Ray, punch out.
- Roger.
JASON: 6, are you in position? 1, this is 6.
In position.
Bravo 4.
How's it looking? It's in the air.
- 6 is ready.
- We're set.
All right.
(GUNFIRE) Bravo 4, drop the hammer! Jesus! Come on, Trent.
Stay on target.
Trent, we're getting chewed up! Stay on target.
Trent! Trent! Coming in hot! Boom.
SONNY: Lucky for us, despite all their upgrade in weaponry Talimonsters still can't shoot for shit.
And to think, all the firepower we needed fit into a backpack.
Well, technology wins battles, not wars.
It took one day for 20 years of work to unravel.
I just hate thinking the last 20 years was a waste of time.
And lives.
- Don't forget, trillions of dollars.
- Yeah.
CLAY: Yeah, all that money could've been used to help the warfighters paying the price back home.
Yeah, look, it's a graveyard of empires.
The Brits, then Russia, now us.
Should've learned from history that some things can't be fixed.
Maybe if we'd have came to Afghanistan thinking more about what they needed instead of what we needed, less blood would have been spilled.
TRENT: None of this is on the warfighters.
I mean, politicians have always had us fighting with one hand tied behind our backs.
CLAY: Didn't have to be this way.
They just kept changing our reasons for being here.
It's like a self-licking ice cream cone.
Well, the Taliban didn't defeat us.
Mm-mmm.
We were our own worst enemy.
Uh-oh.
Hope you're not reporting Bravo for going off the reservation.
I am just jotting down a few thoughts for a paper I'm writing.
Well, if you ever need help proofreading, I, uh I'm definitely not the guy to help.
(BOTH LAUGH) Hey, I'm sorry I missed Ray's party.
I hope it wasn't my only chance to meet Leanne and Hannah before they go back home.
It's all good, you know, but, uh, you can always grab a bite with us when we get back.
Oh, I would, but I'm uh, driving up to D.
C.
Driving up to D.
C.
, mm-hmm.
The, uh, pencil pusher from the bar? - Yes, wow.
- (LAUGHS) Uh-oh.
Okay.
(CHUCKLES) You know whatever else you and I have been to each other, we've always been friends.
And that's that's history worth remembering.
Hmm.
Yeah.
You know no matter how hard we fight, some things just can't be fixed.
Water, toothbrush, toothpaste Oh, no.
We forgot the socks.
No, we didn't.
We got seven pair right here.
One for each day of the week.
Hello? Well, wait, hold up, baby girl.
Let, uh, Daddy go in first, okay? (GRUNTS) Hello? Yo.
Naima.
What's wrong with him? RAY: Uh, nothing, baby.
He's just sick.
Don't worry about it.
Mommy's gonna help him.
But I need you to sit here, okay? Talk to me.
Hand me my Narcan out of my purse.
RAY: All right.
Here you go.
Yes, 911? Can you please send an ambulance to the Plaza Shops south alley? (SPRAYS) (COUGHS) All right, airway's clear.
- Roll him over on his side.
- (COUGHING) Sam Hughes.
Deeper.
(SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE) Guess he really was Navy.
(EXHALES) Stop right here.
Just wait one sec, okay? Take it off.
Ta-da.
Is the surprise behind the minivan? - (LAUGHS) - (HANNAH CHUCKLES) - No, the-the surprise is the minivan.
- (CAR DOORS UNLOCK) Am I supposed to drive Leanne back to Texas in this thing? Well, it's supposed to be our car.
- Our car? - Yeah.
Like a shared car? What are you suggesting here? I'm suggesting that you and Leanne move here.
Live together as a family.
But I-I own a business in Texas.
And you and I Okay, I know there's other details that we got to work out, but as far as you and I go Look, Leanne might've been an accident, but she ain't no mistake.
And if you can tell me right now that you don't feel anything real between us, then I-I'll I'll drop it.
But if there's If there's any shot, then don't you think we owe it to our daughter to at least try to make our family whole? Till you cut and run on me again.
(CHUCKLES) I learned my lesson.
I have.
Them running days are over.
Let me just try something.
Thanks for coming.
Yeah.
I was, um, surprised to get the invite.
I'm sure Stella put you up to this.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Which answer's gonna get you inside the door? (LAUGHS) What the hell am I doing here? - (DOOR CLOSES) - Cards on the table, I, uh I looked up Ewing's sarcoma.
Listen, if you brought me in here to talk about odds, I am gonna leave.
I didn't.
Yeah, I went by the hospital 'cause I needed something from you.
What do you need? Doesn't matter.
Look, I-I realized that instead of focusing on what I need, I should consider what you need.
I already told you, I don't need anything, son.
Then why'd you show up in town? Don't say Coop's boat, either.
When you're staring down the wrong end of a bad diagnosis, it gets you thinking a little bit.
And I know I've messed things up, Clay, but whatever time I have left I'd like to try to repair things, if you'll let me.
You know, most of my life, you've been nothing more than a chip on my shoulder.
I don't know, I might not need that chip anymore.
Yeah.
(CHUCKLES) And maybe remembering what it's like to be a son will help me to be a better dad.
(STELLA CLEARS THROAT) Hi.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Wow.
(CHUCKLES) You, uh, you look beautiful.
Oh, thank you.
How are you feeling? ASH: Uh, I'm a little better.
- Yeah? - ASH: Yeah.
- Good.
You want to sit? - Definitely.
Oh, gosh.

- STELLA: Oh.

I - ASH: Wow.
- All right.
- STELLA: Yeah.
Peanut butter and banana sandwich coming up, baby.
- Yes, please.
- Wow.
This smells used.
- (STELLA CHUCKLES) - What is it? - It's lentil stew.
- ASH: Oh.
The The website says that it's full of potassium and iron and fiber.
It's all the things you need right now.
Um, I will trade this for a banana sandwich, if you don't mind.
- (STELLA AND ASH CHUCKLE) - I do mind.
Look, Stella's growing a life right now, okay? You're-you're growing the opposite.
(STELLA AND ASH LAUGHING) Uh, do you need any help, my love? Oh, God.
No.
No, no.
I'm I'm good.
You guys just relax.
I got this.
(TOY SQUEAKING) (DOOR UNLOCKS) (WHISTLES) - Hey.
- Oh! Wait a second.
This is a surprise.
Made a stop on the way down.
Wait a second.
Dalessandro's? What is the occasion? EMMA: Came home to raid the storage unit, grab some stuff for me and Brad's new place.
You know what? Bringing Italian does not make up for the fact that, uh, you're moving in with Brad when I told you that you couldn't.
We were looking for your blessing, not your approval.
Oh.
Isn't that exciting.
What are you doing? - (EMMA EXHALES) - Whoa, whoa, wait.
Hello? - What are you doing? - Uh, need keys for the truck.
Okay.
Well, they're What's this? - (SIGHS, CHUCKLES) - The Sands at Rehoboth.
- (CHUCKLES) - Sounds romantic.
- Hope Eva had a nice time.
- (LAUGHS) You're something else.
Eva? Who's Eva? Someone hasn't been taking his memory pills.
Eva's the woman Aunt Naima tried to fix you up with? Oh, no.
No, it's not it's not Eva.
She failed on all levels.
Sorry.
- But you definitely weren't alone.
- (BOTTLES CLINK) - Do you remember this woman's name? - (REFRIGERATOR DOOR CLOSES) (SIGHS) Yeah, of course, I remember her name.
(CHUCKLES) - Ooh, you like her.
- (LAUGHS) Stop.
Who is it? - Stop.
She-she - Do I know her? Would you Em, stop, okay? This is weird having this kind of conversation with you.
It can't be worse than talking about my relationship.
- (SIGHS) - (CHUCKLES) Mandy.
- Mandy.
Yeah, Mandy.
- Mandy? - Dad, that's incredible.
- Yeah.
Wait, I thought she moved.
How often do you see each other? - You guys have always been so close.
- Stop.
Just pump the brakes, okay? - We're just having fun here.
- Too much history between you two for it to not mean anything.
You were wrong.
This is worse than talking about Brad.
- Don't do that.
- Really is.
Don't do what? - Deny what you're feeling.
- (LAUGHS) If you're excited about Mandy and clearly you are then be excited.
I know you have an arsenal of excuses to put ahead of your happiness, but please don't be your own worst enemy, for a change.
(CHUCKLES) You want to come with me to storage? - What? No, I don't want to come with you to the storage.
- (CHUCKLES) Okay.
Uh, I'm good.
I have everything I need here.
(DOOR OPENS) (DOOR CLOSES) (SIGHS SOFTLY) Hey, Mandy.
