SEAL Team (2017) s06e04 Episode Script
Phantom Pattern
- Previously on SEAL Team
- We're the ones who recovered
the intel from the Crampton bombing.
Bravo should have the target
package. You know that.
You'll be deploying to the city
of Kobani, with the objective
of identifying the group
responsible for the attack
on the USS Crampton.
Senior Chief Hamza will be a new,
permanent addition to Bravo Team.
What if your PTS flares up
in front of Omar? Then what?
Now I got to lead Bravo
into hell while constantly
looking over my shoulder?
Remember what I keep
telling you. Small goals.
I don't want to teach Green
in three months.
I want to do it now.
The IP address linked to the group
that bought the weapons
used against the Crampton
- has gone dark.
- Unit of YPJ just down the road
they could tell us who's who in the zoo.
- Commander Nouri.
- You're American.
Acting like allies, then leaving
in the middle of the night.
Your argument's validity hinges
on the answer to that question.
I'm not here to justify
myself to you, Major.
Surprised to see that Captain America
leans on the rest of the Avengers.
They know whose team it is.
Those enemy we locked up today
were a drop in the ocean.
Now, it seems, they
also take shots at you.
Omar just put a big fucking
target on Bravo.
Another day, another dry hole.
Two weeks chasing IP pings
with nothing to show for it.
Except saddle sores.
Not sure my ass can take
another dusty trail.
Oh, sure that quad-pocket
keister of yours can.
I know everything's bigger in Texas,
but, damn, you got a big bank, Sonny.
You need to hose yourself
off there, Omar Sha-reek?
Look, whoever attacked the
USS Crampton controls the IP.
We find the IP source,
we find the target.
Let's add it to the geotags.
Wall of crazy just got crazier, huh?
Jace, that is the 19th
distinct ping location
detected by those KingFish devices
that the YPJ helped us install
across the region.
Yeah, "across the region" is right.
Way those are scattered,
impossible to point to just one
of the extremist terror groups here.
No, it might help if we didn't
lose the signal so fast
every time it pings.
By the time we show up,
the gopher's gone back
in its hole already.
Well, Command's up our ass for progress,
so we got to come up with
something soon.
So we keep processing the SSE.
Though all we've managed do
is expand our list of suspects
rather than narrow it.
And make a big-ass footprint
'cause every time
we go out with the YPJ,
we risk getting ambushed.
Well, the YPJ is worth the risk.
I mean, their knowledge of the terrain
outside the wire is invaluable.
Yeah, all the dry holes
have them thinking
their time may be
better spent elsewhere.
Making YPJ happy is not
mission-critical.
We came here to find
and dismantle the group
that took out
20 American sailors, all right?
So
we're gonna go down every rabbit hole
until we get the job done, got it?
Hey.
The cake-eaters getting
squirrelly on you?
Yeah, American boots in Syria
- puts everybody on edge.
- Yeah.
Just goes for the same for
American boots in Afghanistan.
How's Mandy?
Finding it hard
to get Wi-Fi, apparently.
I guess
high-speed Internet and Talimonsters
they, they don't really mix well.
I'm sorry it's been tough on you.
No, she's helping people.
No better excuse for being
off-the-grid, right?
Speaking of being off-the-grid, uh
is over here, uh, messing
with your stem cell schedule?
I'm sorry, are you, uh
are you mistaking me for Leanne?
What's with the helicopter parenting?
I got your six, man.
I realize that, uh
Inspector Clay-seau
was better at prying into your shit.
I, uh
Yeah, I missed one treatment already.
So, at at this rate,
I'm probably gonna miss more.
But, you know, look, I'm good.
My symptoms are under control,
and I've been doing my brain exercises.
Brain exercises? That sounds fancy.
From what I remember.
You hear from Clay?
Yeah, yeah, I talked to him yesterday.
He's-he's crushing it over
at Green Team, as expected,
and, you know, the sooner he trains up
one of them tadpoles to
operate like him, the better.
Sorry to break up pillow talk,
but the IP just came back online.
Time to jock up, boys.
Let's move. Go. Come on.
You're good, right?
Hold on. You're good.
Here you go. Just one more mike,
little buddy, okay?
Here he is. Here's Ducky, right?
Oh, God, please tell me that's
exactly how you've been talking
to the Green Teamers
for the past two weeks.
They wish.
They got a lot more flaws
than our little man.
Speaking of,
I need to get him off to day care.
Okay.
Ooh. Uh, uh
My parents want to take us
on a cruise to Alaska.
It's for-for vacation.
Putting a sailor on a boat
is not a vacation.
But it's for their 35th anniversary.
It's in three months.
All right, well, just
let me know what the dates are
and I'll put in for time off.
Yeah?
It's nice making plans
without worrying about you
getting spun up.
And I'm doing exactly what I want.
Hmm?
Back to work, putting this family first.
My injury's in the rearview.
Good. Good.
All right, let's go.
Ensign Cervantes.
Do we have the facial
recognition results
for the SSE collected
on Bravo's last op?
Yes, ma'am. No positive IDs yet.
Meanwhile, they're sitting ducks
surrounded by enemies with no support.
There has to be
a better way to determine
who hit the Crampton.
If Bravo shares any new intel,
bring it to me front and center.
Yes, ma'am. Lieutenant Davis?
Charlie and Echo are having
more success in their AOs.
Would you like their reports?
Right.
Thanks.
Signal's still pinging, Jace.
Over an hour now.
And I thought not being
in Brock and Omar's truck
was my big break for the day.
Hey, look. We're ten mikes out, boys.
Lead, this is Trail.
We're picking up chatter on ICOM.
Sounds like there's a skirmish up ahead.
That could explain
why the IP's still live.
Group controlling it
they got bigger problems
- at the moment, right?
- That's right.
Finally a chance
to identify the shitbirds
who hit the Crampton, right?
Yeah, as long as we don't
get our bits blown off
going into the firefight.
You know what?
Battle can give us a cover
while we find the device
linked to the IP.
Use the chaos between
the groups for cover.
I like it, smart man.
All stations be advised.
We're calling an audible.
All right,
gonna set security.
Trent, set the drone.
IP still pinging.
Crampton bombers are here.
- Ray.
- Yep?
- You up?
- All good.
- Talk to me.
- All right.
It's a hell of a gunfight
they got going on.
It's gonna be hard to find a needle
in a haystack full of hornets,
I'll tell you that.
Take a look at that.
Looks like three different lines,
three different groups of fighters.
Are you sure it's not two groups
in three different positions?
Only if it's one group firing on itself.
Maybe they got an annoying new guy.
Here's what we're gonna do.
We'll stay outside the fight
and we'll gather the intel.
We've never been this close.
You sure you want to stay
on the sidelines?
We don't have enough rifles
to chase that signal.
One of these three groups
bombed the Crampton.
So we ID who's fighting,
then RTB with a short list
to focus on. Yeah.
That puts us miles
ahead of where we were
- this morning.
- That's right.
Commander, any idea
on any of these groups?
Yezda, tell them what you're hearing.
I can only hear ISIS communications.
The other two groups must be
on encrypted channels.
ISIS has always been
the prime suspect, Jace.
If it quacks like a jihadi duck
Oh.
Two ISIS fighters, 50 yards out.
Stray rounds. Not meant for us.
- Ray, on me.
- Got it.
Jace, no one's found 'em.
You're clear.
That's HUMINT right there.
Those civilians may know
who the other two groups are.
All right, copy. Listen.
Want you to leave two
of the fighters outside.
The rest of you, come with me.
Brock, Trent, get up.
Set an overwatch, right?
Take the drone, keep it up.
The rest, you're on me.
We're gonna clear in,
talk to that family.
Hey, buddy. What's going on?
What you got there?
Hey, this thing is fast, right?
Your mom's gonna be okay.
All right?
Bravo 4, this is 1. Building is secure.
Good copy, 1.
- What do you got?
- Fighting broke out yesterday.
Most residents evacuated,
but those who couldn't
made their way here.
With the exception of the ISIS
fighters we smoked outside,
folks here have remained undetected.
24 civilians are here.
12 injured. Nine with gunshot wounds.
We ID the groups?
ISIS and a militia that goes
by al-Sham Brigade started it.
Yeah, no dice IDing the third group.
Locals say they showed up today.
Already accomplished more today
than two weeks of dry holes.
My comrades and I need to treat
the civilians with critical injuries.
All right, go ahead.
Omar, help her out.
Yes, sir.
- Jason.
- Yeah.
This IP signal is bouncing all over.
All right, we got flashes
near ISIS, al-Sham,
and our mystery group.
Okay, well, we do know
that al-Sham and ISIS
were fighting when it went live.
Despite losing the caliphate,
ISIS can still coordinate
large-scale attacks,
like the one on the Crampton,
- as a covert network.
- Right.
That being said,
- the SIGINT report we got?
- Mm-hmm.
Said that al-Sham is ambitious.
- So both are contenders.
- Mm-hmm.
And there's still another one
in the mix.
Okay, why don't we just stay
here until we ID 'em?
- You got it?
- Mm-hmm.
- Jace.
- Yeah.
You should not have
sent Omar away, brother.
He is not some FNG or strap.
He is your Bravo 2.
No, man, you're always gonna
be my Bravo 2, Ray, okay?
Now, joke all you want,
but pretty soon he's gonna wonder
what Bravo 1 is so threatened by.
Let him wonder.
Jace
That kid is sharp, man. Okay?
Now, what if he does figure out
what's wrong with you?
Better he a friend
or a disgruntled employee?
There.
Thank you.
How's everybody holding up?
Sadly, they are used to this.
But they worry how long
they'll be safe here
while the fighting continues.
Hmm.
Well, we're protecting them.
And when we leave?
This war has rationed
all of our medical supplies.
Simple emergency measures like this
or antibiotics are sparse
or nonexistent.
Yeah.
I mean, even with our, uh,
our fancy-pants technology,
we got issues with treating
our soldiers who make it home.
Here, war is our home.
The aftermath is a thing
my country has not had
the luxury and pain of yet.
Hey, uh
this-this, um this tourniquet here,
you got to loosen it up
every hour or so,
let the blood flow, otherwise
bacteria is gonna build up and
We don't want these
folks to lose a limb.
Perhaps you're better suited
as a nurse, Sonny.
Leave the fighting to us girls.
You're gonna have your PhD
in smack talk by the time
I'm done with you, Yezda.
Truth is, uh
when my brother lost his leg, uh
I just can't help but think,
you know, if there was a
if there was a different
system in place
he'd still be able to operate.
Let's go, come on. Let's go. Pick it up.
- Move!
- Are you kidding?
Are you saving your energy
for your walk of shame
back to Coronado?
Huh?
Don't mind Instructor Spenser.
Y'all are doing super.
No one's grading you on effort.
You gaming this evolution?
- Let's go!
- Karlson, huh?
Oh, my God! You guys suck.
You think you're pretty slick
there, don't you, Hot Karl?
Why are you so slow?
Relax, fellas, you ain't
breaking any records.
Especially mine.
But I know that your generation's
just here for
the participation trophies.
Jesus, Karlson,
you are such an all-star.
Best player on the shittiest team.
You know, in my day
no one had times this bad.
Right?
I bet yours was the last
hardest BUD/S class, too.
Ah, you wouldn't know it
from my O-course time.
Leaves yours in the dust.
Oh, yeah?
Prove it.
Oh, oh, okay.
Give me a month and I'll
smoke your ass, all right?
Get the fuck out here, man. Y'all stink.
Get out of here. Let's go.
I was out of line.
If I'm gonna challenge an instructor,
I should pick one who
can give me a fair fight.
Bravo 1, this is 4.
Be advised, we just put down
- two additional fighters.
- Copy, 4. ISIS?
Negative, at least not
in the same uniform
as the last two.
- Uh, will try and PID.
- Copy that.
- Bravo 1, out.
- You're looking at dry holes
while the signal is still live here?
Squaring them against our new intel.
Are any of these locations
close to al-Sham Brigade
or any ISIS-controlled
sites known to YPJ?
This one is near an al-Sham outpost.
And this one is near
their training ground.
Okay, what about this area?
- Controlled by other groups.
- Including ISIS?
ISIS is all over, they're like a cancer.
As they've lost power
they've gone covert,
focusing their strategy on insurgencies
that are not contingent
on territorial control.
1, this is 4.
Stand by for another
four injured civilians
- heading your way. Over.
- Yeah, that's good copy.
So both groups are likely to
have been near some locations
but neither near all of them.
You got to be kidding me. Shit.
Jason.
Yeah.
Omar, Sonny, injured coming in.
Help 'em out.
Whoa, get back.
What the hell's going on?
This piece of trash
is with al-Sham Brigade.
It appears our enemy has arrived.
- Zip him.
- Hey
He's our enemy. Give the order.
What are they saying?
He says his name is Hamal.
Claims he saved them
from al-Sham snipers.
Protecting civilians
from your own militia?
That's a first.
Hey.
Hey, easy.
Get him up. Ray.
On his knees.
Come on.
Ask him if he works for al-Sham.
Sir, I speak, I speak English.
I, I was with al-Sham Brigade,
but I escaped.
So you're a murderer
- and a deserter.
- No, no, no, no.
I never killed anybody. I swear.
Don't listen to him. He's lying.
Your men already eliminated
two enemy trying to
infiltrate this building.
I know al-Sham Brigade tactics.
This could be a trap.
Have you not heard the Trojan Horse?
Bravo 4, it's 1.
Have you ID'd the last
two tangos you engaged?
Negative. But it's not
ISIS and it's not al-Sham.
Hamal, look at me.
Hamal, look at me.
Who are you fighting?
We were protecting
this area from ISIS, sir.
The third group in the fight.
Who are they?
Kadyrovites.
Chechen militia.
You have your missing piece.
Now let me deal with this murderer.
We should pump this kid for intel.
He is not a kid. YPJ younger than he
have been tortured and killed
by al-Sham Brigade.
He belongs to us.
Look, look, there's
a one-in-three chance
this dude's a member
of the group that blew up the Crampton.
Omar's right.
Hamal could know things
that'd blow this whole
mystery open for us.
The more information we get from him,
the less time we spend downrange.
Try and give your, your warriors
as many days as possible, right?
Hamal could help.
I get him back
- when you're done.
- Good.
Let's go. Move him in the back.
- Up, up.
- Roll.
But we can't ignore that
a comprehensive strategy
for peacekeeping must include
conflict prevention.
There is no reason to use
our highly trained
special operators
solely as a reactive force.
They can be deployed
proactively with local partners
in potential hot zones
as part of a military-political
approach to solving problems
- before they arise.
- Potential hot zones?
Everyone in this room can quote
Gates, Mattis, and McMaster
on our complete inability
to predict where
- and how we'll fight.
- Those quotes are a decade old.
And since then, over 5,000
more American warfighters
became casualties.
What you're suggesting requires having
a special operations presence
everywhere, all at once.
And it duplicates work that State
and the intelligence
agencies already do.
An expanded footprint
and increased redundancies
don't make the war machine
more efficient.
I hate to adjourn in the middle of this,
but I'm afraid that's where
we must stop today.
I will see you all next week.
Interesting thoughts, Lieutenant Davis.
Are you available for lunch?
Yes, ma'am. I am.
Here comes our superstar.
Looks like Karlson knows you
can't spell team without "M-E".
This counts against my time.
You can thank me for
giving you an excuse
for not sniffing my record.
Instructor Spenser, are you all right?
I'm yeah, I'm fine, good.
What's going on?
You okay?
This thing must've been lower in my day.
Let's go. Come on. Let's go.
- Let's do it.
- You got this.
All right, Hamal.
You say you're not a killer.
It's time to help prove it.
I understand, yes, sir.
Who's the leader of the al-Sham Brigade?
The main guy in charge.
I don't know, I don't know this person.
What do you mean you don't know? Huh?
I'm nothing. I'm shit on the bottom
of al-Sham boots. I don't know.
Yeah, some folks get off
treating new guys that way.
Who gave you the orders?
Akmal. He died fighting.
Akmal. Did he mention
anything about rockets, huh?
Any plans to attacks Americans?
Where are the al-Sham Brigade
fighters positioned in the city?
We-we-we attacked ISIS
from the east yesterday.
And then Chechens, they came,
they came f-f-from the south.
And when they arrived,
we our snipers
they go down to the road.
They shoot anybody who-who try to leave.
- It's horrible.
- Al-Sham move into other areas?
Maybe to spy on the other forces?
I-I don't know.
I-I tell you, I-I'm nobody.
I don't know these things.
Christ, Hamal. You know what?
You're more useful to the YPJ than us.
Please, no, no, no, no.
He's from Al-Qa'im, in Iraq.
ISIS raided there two months ago.
His father was killed and
his family had no food.
Al-Sham Brigade came in not long after,
offering money to the families
of those who joined
their fight against ISIS.
I'm trying to help my family.
You wouldn't do the same?
He didn't know
al-Sham also fought people
he had no reason to hate.
When he learned, he wanted to leave,
but they had taken his passport.
His friend tried to escape.
They shot him in the head.
I'm scared. I don't,
I don't want to die.
I don't want to die.
I see chance to escape, I-I take it.
I never kill anybody.
I don't want to die.
I want to see my mother.
I'm not bad person. I swear, I
I want to return to my friends.
Root for World Cup.
Please. Please, please, please.
Can you help me? Please.
Can you help me? Sir, please.
Okay. That didn't unlock dick.
Well, proved the kid's not a monster.
Okay, look, you know, we got sent here
to dismantle a major terror
group, not play Make-A-Wish.
What happens when YPJ gets hold of him?
Best, imprisonment.
Worst, death.
Okay, that's kind of a high price to pay
- for a soccer fan.
- Soccer fan who joined
- a major terror group, Sonny.
- Come on, you don't have to
be a bad person to make a bad decision.
Yeah, I mean, I can't even remember
all the stupid decisions I made
when I was a teenager.
All right. Look.
We've all stared down
hard-core shitbags.
Hamal's not that.
We leave him here, he'll die.
Have a chance to do good here, Hayes.
You saying you want to cut him loose?
I hate to agree with Omarosa here,
but we all got a past and
No reason that Hamal's should be fatal.
More wounded just arrived.
And al-Sham Brigade snipers have
trapped a girl and her father
and are using them as bait
to try to kill anyone
who tries to save them.
Now, those are hard-core
shitbags worth vaporizing.
Let me put 'em down.
Yeah, I'd like to go, too.
Okay.
Get all the intel you can off Hamal
about the snipers, you got it?
- Yeah.
- Roger that.
Interrogation yielded nothing.
So, you get anything
from the kid's phone?
Negative.
And the IP just went off-line.
Look, where was the IP
address last detected?
Right in between the three forces.
Right, in the middle of fucking nowhere.
What happens to him
when we pull up stakes?
That's up to the YPJ. But nothing good.
- Doesn't seem right, man.
- Yeah.
And I was older than him
when my pops had to bail me out of jail.
At least I had the chance
to learn from my missteps.
Kid's close to the age of Mikey.
That kid's made some shithead decisions.
You going soft on Hamal?
Just the way, you know,
he was talking about
losing his dad,
keeping his family together
just, uh
just reminded me of my kids,
how they had to grow up fast
after they lost their mom, you know?
A lot easier to deal with an enemy
when you can't see their humanity.
Yeah, Omar wants to cut the kid loose.
Well, he doesn't seem
like much of a threat.
And not for nothing,
if helping Hamal gets you solid
with your new Bravo 2,
that also supports the op.
Omar is not a factor in my tactical
decision-making, you got that?
Whoa, Jace. We got a group moving out.
Looks like the Chechens.
Bravo 4, this is 1. Drone is showing
that the Chechens are moving
out of the south side.
How copy?
A-firm. We're watching
vehicles withdrawing.
Out.
Think it's a coincidence
that the signal went dark
right before the Chechens moved out?
Hey, Hamal, look at me.
Look at me.
When did the Chechens arrive?
I-I think it was late morning.
Maybe four hours ago.
Ray, that means the signal went
live after the Chechens arrived.
And it'd be pretty easy
for Putin's puppets to get
their hands on those
Russian-made rockets
used against the Crampton.
Bumps Chechens right
to the top of the list, bro.
You know what? With them pulling out,
we got one less force to navigate.
Means we could probably
evacuate these civilians.
Sick fucks.
That would've wrecked me
even before I had a kid.
Hamal said there's multiple snipers.
Clear your head or they'll
clear it for you.
- Ana qadim.
- Fuck.
Bait's luring in
the dirtbags' next catch.
We should warn him.
And give up our position?
Muzzle flash. Ten o'clock.
I count three sniper positions.
Town has emptied out.
Hamal says once they run out of targets,
they kill the bait.
Girl doesn't have much time.
Where'd that shot come from?
Shit.
Fourth sniper right above us.
On me.
Commander.
Chechens have withdrawn.
Now's the best time
to evacuate the wounded.
This means I can take the boy?
I want to evacuate him with the wounded,
get him back home.
Commits vile acts,
then betrays al-Sham Brigade's secrets
when his life is threatened?
He has no honor.
If you ask me, there's
no greater act of honor
than putting your life on the
line to save innocent people.
Look, we both know
we cannot keep killing
our way out of these wars.
Maybe a little mercy goes a long way.
3, this is 2.
Fourth sniper down hard.
Bravo, be advised we'll
evacuate civilians and RTB.
Copy, Mako. Working something out.
Bravo 2, out.
Bravo 2.
Little girl will be
in the snipers' crosshairs soon.
Take your thumb out of your ass,
pick one, and start to count.
Bravo 3, stand by.
Break.
Ten, nine, eight,
seven, six, five
Four, three, two, one.
Time to die.
I could go for a cold beer right now.
Move, 3.
Oh come on.
3, this is 2. Getting
shot out of my hide.
I'm pinned down.
So much for my cover.
Bravo 2, what's your status?
Bravo 2, what's your status?
Moving to a better vantage point, 3.
Smoke will mask you till I land.
She doesn't got that much time.
Moving.
Okay.
Right here.
It's okay, okay, come on.
Okay, here, give me your hand,
give me your hand.
Come. Come with me, come on.
You're good, 3.
Go.
It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay.
The YPJ's prepping civilians
for evacuation.
It's funny, with all that
bouncing around,
the IP signal pinged here 20 minutes
before the Chechens pulled out.
- Here? In this building?
- Within 50 yards of it.
What if whoever is
controlling it was using
their fighters' cell phones
to mask the source
and throw off tracking?
I mean, that would explain the bouncing.
Well, Brock and Trent
they took out Chechens
trying to breach here.
Yeah, but we eliminated
two ISIS outside.
And Hamal had a cell phone.
Okay, so you're saying
it's not the Chechens?
I'm saying I think our list
is still down to three:
I mean, ISIS, Chechens,
and al-Sham Brigade.
So, why don't we just pull
the phones off the dead bodies,
okay, and see whose bounced
the signal theirs or Hamal's?
Doesn't work like that, brother.
Are you kidding me?
Fuck.
Major opportunity slipping
through the fingers, Ray.
Um, this looks delicious.
Yes, and not nearly as good
as the Cobb salad
at Lulu's Grill in Virginia Beach.
Is that still the gathering spot
for junior officers?
I've never been.
I usually, um, eat at the Ops Center
so I can keep tabs on my operators.
When were you stationed in Vah Beach?
I spent three years in Norfolk
right out of OCS,
until I got orders to my first ship.
So, you wanted to discuss
proactive use of special operators?
I wanted to discuss your
performance on this committee.
Am I not pulling my weight, ma'am?
Oh, your contributions
seem well-reasoned.
Yet you appear to be easily
rattled by Major Gerretsen.
Rattled? No
He came out of the Academy.
You know, he acts like I haven't
earned my seat at the table.
Perhaps you're acting that way.
Excuse me?
I admire your dedication
to your enlisted men,
but your focus as an officer
cannot be solely on them.
I am trying to keep them safe.
That is why I am on this committee.
World is scarier than it was
20 years ago, Lieutenant.
War isn't going anywhere.
We can't fight it
without special operators.
If you want the other people
on that committee
to help you prioritize
warfighter safety,
then you need to get to know them,
learn what they want,
and figure out how your
objective aligns with theirs.
So, in other words, play politics?
I'm the head of this committee
and you don't even know
my CV, for Pete's sake.
You're here because you have good ideas.
I'm telling you how to get
people to, to hear them.
Being a broken record isn't it.
Hey, we're coming in hot!
Hey, nurse, back, back.
Water, water, water, help.
Right now, right now. Right away.
Need IV bags. IV bags!
Hey, sit down. It's gonna be okay.
Baba's gonna be okay, okay?
Omar, you saved my bacon out there, man.
Which is saying a lot for
a guy who doesn't touch pork.
You could just say, "You're welcome".
You'd have done the same.
Teamwork makes the dream work, right?
You know, my, uh, my daughter Leanne,
she ain't feeling well
and she been fussy,
you know, she got gas pains
or diaper rash or
her baby mama puts on Taylor Swift
and she just lights up.
That's probably where them,
them references came from.
Shit we pick up from our kids.
Yeah.
My son loved construction trucks.
To this day, I see a digger or mixer,
I nearly shit myself
- with excitement.
- Hey.
Good work out there.
Help the YPJ get everyone
ready for exfil, got it?
Oh, everyone?
Including Hamal.
Respect, Hayes.
Did we just have a moment?
Keep it in your pants, will you?
Jace.
Yeah.
I think I can get our list
down from three.
What do you mean?
Well, we know the phones were
being used as repeaters, right?
Yeah.
If I can attach a BLE sniffer
to Hamal's phone
and we get him within Bluetooth
range of the main server device
connecting al-Sham's phones on target
- Yeah.
- then Hamal's phone will seed it,
allowing us to track 'em.
Fucking English, man.
Once we're tracking al-Sham's phones,
the next time the IP pings,
we'll know if they're in the vicinity.
And if they are, then we, we got
the group that hit the Crampton.
Yeah, and if they aren't,
then it's down to two groups.
ISIS or Chechens.
I don't know, fighting's heavy
right now out there.
It's just chasing the signal
that's-that's high-risk.
That's a smart idea, Ray,
but I got to agree with Hayes.
We got intel we can build off.
We saved a man and his daughter.
And Hamal. Take the wins and go home.
Jace, you already said yourself
that brass is antsy about us being here.
We spent two weeks getting nothing.
You really think we got
the luxury to take our time
before they pull the plug?
Here you go.
Get him in.
Turn around.
Let's go.
Listen. All you got to do is
walk in the building
that al-Sham's strongholding.
All right? It's easy.
You're in and you're out.
I thought I was leaving with the others.
The people that I helped
You do this for us,
we'll get you home safely.
All set.
Just walk around, look for
anybody on a computer or tablet.
Okay?
How do we know he's
connected to the network?
Keep this in your pocket.
Don't take it out. Ever.
Okay? All right.
It'll vibrate when your job is done.
And you'll come back and meet us here.
- And then I go home?
- Yeah.
Then you go home.
Take this.
You rotate it every time
you exit a building.
That way we know it's you.
Okay?
When you exit the building,
you turn it around, okay?
You understand what I'm saying to you?
You'll meet us when you're done.
Thank you for believing in me.
This is fucked-up.
- Check yourself, Bravo 2.
- You heard what happened
to Hamal's friend who tried to leave.
Look, kid got away once.
He can do it again.
Sonny and I saved a girl
thanks to his intel.
What, pull one kid from the fire
just so you could throw
this one in the furnace?
Add to the cycle of misery here?
We're giving that kid a chance
to earn his freedom.
Freedom Hayes already agreed to
We were sent here to avenge
the deaths of 20 Americans.
You understand?
I don't have to apologize
for doing my fucking job.
There's the Bravo 1 I expected.
Mission over everything else.
Mission and men.
My team, my call.
Yeah.
Just hope you made the right one, boss.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
Brian. Brian.
It's okay. It's okay.
It's just the s
the smart-sock, it fell off.
It's fine. It's a false alarm.
I got it. I got it.
I had everything under control.
Nothing in his phone's
gonna give him away, right?
Yeah, long as he keeps it in his pocket.
That's it.
Third building he's tried.
Third time someone could spot him.
Shh.
He did it. The IPs are populating.
Switch back to the drone feed.
Now the long walk to freedom.
Come on, kid.
Shake a fucking leg.
What's this guy doing?
We seeded the network.
Your team.
Your call.
- We're the ones who recovered
the intel from the Crampton bombing.
Bravo should have the target
package. You know that.
You'll be deploying to the city
of Kobani, with the objective
of identifying the group
responsible for the attack
on the USS Crampton.
Senior Chief Hamza will be a new,
permanent addition to Bravo Team.
What if your PTS flares up
in front of Omar? Then what?
Now I got to lead Bravo
into hell while constantly
looking over my shoulder?
Remember what I keep
telling you. Small goals.
I don't want to teach Green
in three months.
I want to do it now.
The IP address linked to the group
that bought the weapons
used against the Crampton
- has gone dark.
- Unit of YPJ just down the road
they could tell us who's who in the zoo.
- Commander Nouri.
- You're American.
Acting like allies, then leaving
in the middle of the night.
Your argument's validity hinges
on the answer to that question.
I'm not here to justify
myself to you, Major.
Surprised to see that Captain America
leans on the rest of the Avengers.
They know whose team it is.
Those enemy we locked up today
were a drop in the ocean.
Now, it seems, they
also take shots at you.
Omar just put a big fucking
target on Bravo.
Another day, another dry hole.
Two weeks chasing IP pings
with nothing to show for it.
Except saddle sores.
Not sure my ass can take
another dusty trail.
Oh, sure that quad-pocket
keister of yours can.
I know everything's bigger in Texas,
but, damn, you got a big bank, Sonny.
You need to hose yourself
off there, Omar Sha-reek?
Look, whoever attacked the
USS Crampton controls the IP.
We find the IP source,
we find the target.
Let's add it to the geotags.
Wall of crazy just got crazier, huh?
Jace, that is the 19th
distinct ping location
detected by those KingFish devices
that the YPJ helped us install
across the region.
Yeah, "across the region" is right.
Way those are scattered,
impossible to point to just one
of the extremist terror groups here.
No, it might help if we didn't
lose the signal so fast
every time it pings.
By the time we show up,
the gopher's gone back
in its hole already.
Well, Command's up our ass for progress,
so we got to come up with
something soon.
So we keep processing the SSE.
Though all we've managed do
is expand our list of suspects
rather than narrow it.
And make a big-ass footprint
'cause every time
we go out with the YPJ,
we risk getting ambushed.
Well, the YPJ is worth the risk.
I mean, their knowledge of the terrain
outside the wire is invaluable.
Yeah, all the dry holes
have them thinking
their time may be
better spent elsewhere.
Making YPJ happy is not
mission-critical.
We came here to find
and dismantle the group
that took out
20 American sailors, all right?
So
we're gonna go down every rabbit hole
until we get the job done, got it?
Hey.
The cake-eaters getting
squirrelly on you?
Yeah, American boots in Syria
- puts everybody on edge.
- Yeah.
Just goes for the same for
American boots in Afghanistan.
How's Mandy?
Finding it hard
to get Wi-Fi, apparently.
I guess
high-speed Internet and Talimonsters
they, they don't really mix well.
I'm sorry it's been tough on you.
No, she's helping people.
No better excuse for being
off-the-grid, right?
Speaking of being off-the-grid, uh
is over here, uh, messing
with your stem cell schedule?
I'm sorry, are you, uh
are you mistaking me for Leanne?
What's with the helicopter parenting?
I got your six, man.
I realize that, uh
Inspector Clay-seau
was better at prying into your shit.
I, uh
Yeah, I missed one treatment already.
So, at at this rate,
I'm probably gonna miss more.
But, you know, look, I'm good.
My symptoms are under control,
and I've been doing my brain exercises.
Brain exercises? That sounds fancy.
From what I remember.
You hear from Clay?
Yeah, yeah, I talked to him yesterday.
He's-he's crushing it over
at Green Team, as expected,
and, you know, the sooner he trains up
one of them tadpoles to
operate like him, the better.
Sorry to break up pillow talk,
but the IP just came back online.
Time to jock up, boys.
Let's move. Go. Come on.
You're good, right?
Hold on. You're good.
Here you go. Just one more mike,
little buddy, okay?
Here he is. Here's Ducky, right?
Oh, God, please tell me that's
exactly how you've been talking
to the Green Teamers
for the past two weeks.
They wish.
They got a lot more flaws
than our little man.
Speaking of,
I need to get him off to day care.
Okay.
Ooh. Uh, uh
My parents want to take us
on a cruise to Alaska.
It's for-for vacation.
Putting a sailor on a boat
is not a vacation.
But it's for their 35th anniversary.
It's in three months.
All right, well, just
let me know what the dates are
and I'll put in for time off.
Yeah?
It's nice making plans
without worrying about you
getting spun up.
And I'm doing exactly what I want.
Hmm?
Back to work, putting this family first.
My injury's in the rearview.
Good. Good.
All right, let's go.
Ensign Cervantes.
Do we have the facial
recognition results
for the SSE collected
on Bravo's last op?
Yes, ma'am. No positive IDs yet.
Meanwhile, they're sitting ducks
surrounded by enemies with no support.
There has to be
a better way to determine
who hit the Crampton.
If Bravo shares any new intel,
bring it to me front and center.
Yes, ma'am. Lieutenant Davis?
Charlie and Echo are having
more success in their AOs.
Would you like their reports?
Right.
Thanks.
Signal's still pinging, Jace.
Over an hour now.
And I thought not being
in Brock and Omar's truck
was my big break for the day.
Hey, look. We're ten mikes out, boys.
Lead, this is Trail.
We're picking up chatter on ICOM.
Sounds like there's a skirmish up ahead.
That could explain
why the IP's still live.
Group controlling it
they got bigger problems
- at the moment, right?
- That's right.
Finally a chance
to identify the shitbirds
who hit the Crampton, right?
Yeah, as long as we don't
get our bits blown off
going into the firefight.
You know what?
Battle can give us a cover
while we find the device
linked to the IP.
Use the chaos between
the groups for cover.
I like it, smart man.
All stations be advised.
We're calling an audible.
All right,
gonna set security.
Trent, set the drone.
IP still pinging.
Crampton bombers are here.
- Ray.
- Yep?
- You up?
- All good.
- Talk to me.
- All right.
It's a hell of a gunfight
they got going on.
It's gonna be hard to find a needle
in a haystack full of hornets,
I'll tell you that.
Take a look at that.
Looks like three different lines,
three different groups of fighters.
Are you sure it's not two groups
in three different positions?
Only if it's one group firing on itself.
Maybe they got an annoying new guy.
Here's what we're gonna do.
We'll stay outside the fight
and we'll gather the intel.
We've never been this close.
You sure you want to stay
on the sidelines?
We don't have enough rifles
to chase that signal.
One of these three groups
bombed the Crampton.
So we ID who's fighting,
then RTB with a short list
to focus on. Yeah.
That puts us miles
ahead of where we were
- this morning.
- That's right.
Commander, any idea
on any of these groups?
Yezda, tell them what you're hearing.
I can only hear ISIS communications.
The other two groups must be
on encrypted channels.
ISIS has always been
the prime suspect, Jace.
If it quacks like a jihadi duck
Oh.
Two ISIS fighters, 50 yards out.
Stray rounds. Not meant for us.
- Ray, on me.
- Got it.
Jace, no one's found 'em.
You're clear.
That's HUMINT right there.
Those civilians may know
who the other two groups are.
All right, copy. Listen.
Want you to leave two
of the fighters outside.
The rest of you, come with me.
Brock, Trent, get up.
Set an overwatch, right?
Take the drone, keep it up.
The rest, you're on me.
We're gonna clear in,
talk to that family.
Hey, buddy. What's going on?
What you got there?
Hey, this thing is fast, right?
Your mom's gonna be okay.
All right?
Bravo 4, this is 1. Building is secure.
Good copy, 1.
- What do you got?
- Fighting broke out yesterday.
Most residents evacuated,
but those who couldn't
made their way here.
With the exception of the ISIS
fighters we smoked outside,
folks here have remained undetected.
24 civilians are here.
12 injured. Nine with gunshot wounds.
We ID the groups?
ISIS and a militia that goes
by al-Sham Brigade started it.
Yeah, no dice IDing the third group.
Locals say they showed up today.
Already accomplished more today
than two weeks of dry holes.
My comrades and I need to treat
the civilians with critical injuries.
All right, go ahead.
Omar, help her out.
Yes, sir.
- Jason.
- Yeah.
This IP signal is bouncing all over.
All right, we got flashes
near ISIS, al-Sham,
and our mystery group.
Okay, well, we do know
that al-Sham and ISIS
were fighting when it went live.
Despite losing the caliphate,
ISIS can still coordinate
large-scale attacks,
like the one on the Crampton,
- as a covert network.
- Right.
That being said,
- the SIGINT report we got?
- Mm-hmm.
Said that al-Sham is ambitious.
- So both are contenders.
- Mm-hmm.
And there's still another one
in the mix.
Okay, why don't we just stay
here until we ID 'em?
- You got it?
- Mm-hmm.
- Jace.
- Yeah.
You should not have
sent Omar away, brother.
He is not some FNG or strap.
He is your Bravo 2.
No, man, you're always gonna
be my Bravo 2, Ray, okay?
Now, joke all you want,
but pretty soon he's gonna wonder
what Bravo 1 is so threatened by.
Let him wonder.
Jace
That kid is sharp, man. Okay?
Now, what if he does figure out
what's wrong with you?
Better he a friend
or a disgruntled employee?
There.
Thank you.
How's everybody holding up?
Sadly, they are used to this.
But they worry how long
they'll be safe here
while the fighting continues.
Hmm.
Well, we're protecting them.
And when we leave?
This war has rationed
all of our medical supplies.
Simple emergency measures like this
or antibiotics are sparse
or nonexistent.
Yeah.
I mean, even with our, uh,
our fancy-pants technology,
we got issues with treating
our soldiers who make it home.
Here, war is our home.
The aftermath is a thing
my country has not had
the luxury and pain of yet.
Hey, uh
this-this, um this tourniquet here,
you got to loosen it up
every hour or so,
let the blood flow, otherwise
bacteria is gonna build up and
We don't want these
folks to lose a limb.
Perhaps you're better suited
as a nurse, Sonny.
Leave the fighting to us girls.
You're gonna have your PhD
in smack talk by the time
I'm done with you, Yezda.
Truth is, uh
when my brother lost his leg, uh
I just can't help but think,
you know, if there was a
if there was a different
system in place
he'd still be able to operate.
Let's go, come on. Let's go. Pick it up.
- Move!
- Are you kidding?
Are you saving your energy
for your walk of shame
back to Coronado?
Huh?
Don't mind Instructor Spenser.
Y'all are doing super.
No one's grading you on effort.
You gaming this evolution?
- Let's go!
- Karlson, huh?
Oh, my God! You guys suck.
You think you're pretty slick
there, don't you, Hot Karl?
Why are you so slow?
Relax, fellas, you ain't
breaking any records.
Especially mine.
But I know that your generation's
just here for
the participation trophies.
Jesus, Karlson,
you are such an all-star.
Best player on the shittiest team.
You know, in my day
no one had times this bad.
Right?
I bet yours was the last
hardest BUD/S class, too.
Ah, you wouldn't know it
from my O-course time.
Leaves yours in the dust.
Oh, yeah?
Prove it.
Oh, oh, okay.
Give me a month and I'll
smoke your ass, all right?
Get the fuck out here, man. Y'all stink.
Get out of here. Let's go.
I was out of line.
If I'm gonna challenge an instructor,
I should pick one who
can give me a fair fight.
Bravo 1, this is 4.
Be advised, we just put down
- two additional fighters.
- Copy, 4. ISIS?
Negative, at least not
in the same uniform
as the last two.
- Uh, will try and PID.
- Copy that.
- Bravo 1, out.
- You're looking at dry holes
while the signal is still live here?
Squaring them against our new intel.
Are any of these locations
close to al-Sham Brigade
or any ISIS-controlled
sites known to YPJ?
This one is near an al-Sham outpost.
And this one is near
their training ground.
Okay, what about this area?
- Controlled by other groups.
- Including ISIS?
ISIS is all over, they're like a cancer.
As they've lost power
they've gone covert,
focusing their strategy on insurgencies
that are not contingent
on territorial control.
1, this is 4.
Stand by for another
four injured civilians
- heading your way. Over.
- Yeah, that's good copy.
So both groups are likely to
have been near some locations
but neither near all of them.
You got to be kidding me. Shit.
Jason.
Yeah.
Omar, Sonny, injured coming in.
Help 'em out.
Whoa, get back.
What the hell's going on?
This piece of trash
is with al-Sham Brigade.
It appears our enemy has arrived.
- Zip him.
- Hey
He's our enemy. Give the order.
What are they saying?
He says his name is Hamal.
Claims he saved them
from al-Sham snipers.
Protecting civilians
from your own militia?
That's a first.
Hey.
Hey, easy.
Get him up. Ray.
On his knees.
Come on.
Ask him if he works for al-Sham.
Sir, I speak, I speak English.
I, I was with al-Sham Brigade,
but I escaped.
So you're a murderer
- and a deserter.
- No, no, no, no.
I never killed anybody. I swear.
Don't listen to him. He's lying.
Your men already eliminated
two enemy trying to
infiltrate this building.
I know al-Sham Brigade tactics.
This could be a trap.
Have you not heard the Trojan Horse?
Bravo 4, it's 1.
Have you ID'd the last
two tangos you engaged?
Negative. But it's not
ISIS and it's not al-Sham.
Hamal, look at me.
Hamal, look at me.
Who are you fighting?
We were protecting
this area from ISIS, sir.
The third group in the fight.
Who are they?
Kadyrovites.
Chechen militia.
You have your missing piece.
Now let me deal with this murderer.
We should pump this kid for intel.
He is not a kid. YPJ younger than he
have been tortured and killed
by al-Sham Brigade.
He belongs to us.
Look, look, there's
a one-in-three chance
this dude's a member
of the group that blew up the Crampton.
Omar's right.
Hamal could know things
that'd blow this whole
mystery open for us.
The more information we get from him,
the less time we spend downrange.
Try and give your, your warriors
as many days as possible, right?
Hamal could help.
I get him back
- when you're done.
- Good.
Let's go. Move him in the back.
- Up, up.
- Roll.
But we can't ignore that
a comprehensive strategy
for peacekeeping must include
conflict prevention.
There is no reason to use
our highly trained
special operators
solely as a reactive force.
They can be deployed
proactively with local partners
in potential hot zones
as part of a military-political
approach to solving problems
- before they arise.
- Potential hot zones?
Everyone in this room can quote
Gates, Mattis, and McMaster
on our complete inability
to predict where
- and how we'll fight.
- Those quotes are a decade old.
And since then, over 5,000
more American warfighters
became casualties.
What you're suggesting requires having
a special operations presence
everywhere, all at once.
And it duplicates work that State
and the intelligence
agencies already do.
An expanded footprint
and increased redundancies
don't make the war machine
more efficient.
I hate to adjourn in the middle of this,
but I'm afraid that's where
we must stop today.
I will see you all next week.
Interesting thoughts, Lieutenant Davis.
Are you available for lunch?
Yes, ma'am. I am.
Here comes our superstar.
Looks like Karlson knows you
can't spell team without "M-E".
This counts against my time.
You can thank me for
giving you an excuse
for not sniffing my record.
Instructor Spenser, are you all right?
I'm yeah, I'm fine, good.
What's going on?
You okay?
This thing must've been lower in my day.
Let's go. Come on. Let's go.
- Let's do it.
- You got this.
All right, Hamal.
You say you're not a killer.
It's time to help prove it.
I understand, yes, sir.
Who's the leader of the al-Sham Brigade?
The main guy in charge.
I don't know, I don't know this person.
What do you mean you don't know? Huh?
I'm nothing. I'm shit on the bottom
of al-Sham boots. I don't know.
Yeah, some folks get off
treating new guys that way.
Who gave you the orders?
Akmal. He died fighting.
Akmal. Did he mention
anything about rockets, huh?
Any plans to attacks Americans?
Where are the al-Sham Brigade
fighters positioned in the city?
We-we-we attacked ISIS
from the east yesterday.
And then Chechens, they came,
they came f-f-from the south.
And when they arrived,
we our snipers
they go down to the road.
They shoot anybody who-who try to leave.
- It's horrible.
- Al-Sham move into other areas?
Maybe to spy on the other forces?
I-I don't know.
I-I tell you, I-I'm nobody.
I don't know these things.
Christ, Hamal. You know what?
You're more useful to the YPJ than us.
Please, no, no, no, no.
He's from Al-Qa'im, in Iraq.
ISIS raided there two months ago.
His father was killed and
his family had no food.
Al-Sham Brigade came in not long after,
offering money to the families
of those who joined
their fight against ISIS.
I'm trying to help my family.
You wouldn't do the same?
He didn't know
al-Sham also fought people
he had no reason to hate.
When he learned, he wanted to leave,
but they had taken his passport.
His friend tried to escape.
They shot him in the head.
I'm scared. I don't,
I don't want to die.
I don't want to die.
I see chance to escape, I-I take it.
I never kill anybody.
I don't want to die.
I want to see my mother.
I'm not bad person. I swear, I
I want to return to my friends.
Root for World Cup.
Please. Please, please, please.
Can you help me? Please.
Can you help me? Sir, please.
Okay. That didn't unlock dick.
Well, proved the kid's not a monster.
Okay, look, you know, we got sent here
to dismantle a major terror
group, not play Make-A-Wish.
What happens when YPJ gets hold of him?
Best, imprisonment.
Worst, death.
Okay, that's kind of a high price to pay
- for a soccer fan.
- Soccer fan who joined
- a major terror group, Sonny.
- Come on, you don't have to
be a bad person to make a bad decision.
Yeah, I mean, I can't even remember
all the stupid decisions I made
when I was a teenager.
All right. Look.
We've all stared down
hard-core shitbags.
Hamal's not that.
We leave him here, he'll die.
Have a chance to do good here, Hayes.
You saying you want to cut him loose?
I hate to agree with Omarosa here,
but we all got a past and
No reason that Hamal's should be fatal.
More wounded just arrived.
And al-Sham Brigade snipers have
trapped a girl and her father
and are using them as bait
to try to kill anyone
who tries to save them.
Now, those are hard-core
shitbags worth vaporizing.
Let me put 'em down.
Yeah, I'd like to go, too.
Okay.
Get all the intel you can off Hamal
about the snipers, you got it?
- Yeah.
- Roger that.
Interrogation yielded nothing.
So, you get anything
from the kid's phone?
Negative.
And the IP just went off-line.
Look, where was the IP
address last detected?
Right in between the three forces.
Right, in the middle of fucking nowhere.
What happens to him
when we pull up stakes?
That's up to the YPJ. But nothing good.
- Doesn't seem right, man.
- Yeah.
And I was older than him
when my pops had to bail me out of jail.
At least I had the chance
to learn from my missteps.
Kid's close to the age of Mikey.
That kid's made some shithead decisions.
You going soft on Hamal?
Just the way, you know,
he was talking about
losing his dad,
keeping his family together
just, uh
just reminded me of my kids,
how they had to grow up fast
after they lost their mom, you know?
A lot easier to deal with an enemy
when you can't see their humanity.
Yeah, Omar wants to cut the kid loose.
Well, he doesn't seem
like much of a threat.
And not for nothing,
if helping Hamal gets you solid
with your new Bravo 2,
that also supports the op.
Omar is not a factor in my tactical
decision-making, you got that?
Whoa, Jace. We got a group moving out.
Looks like the Chechens.
Bravo 4, this is 1. Drone is showing
that the Chechens are moving
out of the south side.
How copy?
A-firm. We're watching
vehicles withdrawing.
Out.
Think it's a coincidence
that the signal went dark
right before the Chechens moved out?
Hey, Hamal, look at me.
Look at me.
When did the Chechens arrive?
I-I think it was late morning.
Maybe four hours ago.
Ray, that means the signal went
live after the Chechens arrived.
And it'd be pretty easy
for Putin's puppets to get
their hands on those
Russian-made rockets
used against the Crampton.
Bumps Chechens right
to the top of the list, bro.
You know what? With them pulling out,
we got one less force to navigate.
Means we could probably
evacuate these civilians.
Sick fucks.
That would've wrecked me
even before I had a kid.
Hamal said there's multiple snipers.
Clear your head or they'll
clear it for you.
- Ana qadim.
- Fuck.
Bait's luring in
the dirtbags' next catch.
We should warn him.
And give up our position?
Muzzle flash. Ten o'clock.
I count three sniper positions.
Town has emptied out.
Hamal says once they run out of targets,
they kill the bait.
Girl doesn't have much time.
Where'd that shot come from?
Shit.
Fourth sniper right above us.
On me.
Commander.
Chechens have withdrawn.
Now's the best time
to evacuate the wounded.
This means I can take the boy?
I want to evacuate him with the wounded,
get him back home.
Commits vile acts,
then betrays al-Sham Brigade's secrets
when his life is threatened?
He has no honor.
If you ask me, there's
no greater act of honor
than putting your life on the
line to save innocent people.
Look, we both know
we cannot keep killing
our way out of these wars.
Maybe a little mercy goes a long way.
3, this is 2.
Fourth sniper down hard.
Bravo, be advised we'll
evacuate civilians and RTB.
Copy, Mako. Working something out.
Bravo 2, out.
Bravo 2.
Little girl will be
in the snipers' crosshairs soon.
Take your thumb out of your ass,
pick one, and start to count.
Bravo 3, stand by.
Break.
Ten, nine, eight,
seven, six, five
Four, three, two, one.
Time to die.
I could go for a cold beer right now.
Move, 3.
Oh come on.
3, this is 2. Getting
shot out of my hide.
I'm pinned down.
So much for my cover.
Bravo 2, what's your status?
Bravo 2, what's your status?
Moving to a better vantage point, 3.
Smoke will mask you till I land.
She doesn't got that much time.
Moving.
Okay.
Right here.
It's okay, okay, come on.
Okay, here, give me your hand,
give me your hand.
Come. Come with me, come on.
You're good, 3.
Go.
It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay.
The YPJ's prepping civilians
for evacuation.
It's funny, with all that
bouncing around,
the IP signal pinged here 20 minutes
before the Chechens pulled out.
- Here? In this building?
- Within 50 yards of it.
What if whoever is
controlling it was using
their fighters' cell phones
to mask the source
and throw off tracking?
I mean, that would explain the bouncing.
Well, Brock and Trent
they took out Chechens
trying to breach here.
Yeah, but we eliminated
two ISIS outside.
And Hamal had a cell phone.
Okay, so you're saying
it's not the Chechens?
I'm saying I think our list
is still down to three:
I mean, ISIS, Chechens,
and al-Sham Brigade.
So, why don't we just pull
the phones off the dead bodies,
okay, and see whose bounced
the signal theirs or Hamal's?
Doesn't work like that, brother.
Are you kidding me?
Fuck.
Major opportunity slipping
through the fingers, Ray.
Um, this looks delicious.
Yes, and not nearly as good
as the Cobb salad
at Lulu's Grill in Virginia Beach.
Is that still the gathering spot
for junior officers?
I've never been.
I usually, um, eat at the Ops Center
so I can keep tabs on my operators.
When were you stationed in Vah Beach?
I spent three years in Norfolk
right out of OCS,
until I got orders to my first ship.
So, you wanted to discuss
proactive use of special operators?
I wanted to discuss your
performance on this committee.
Am I not pulling my weight, ma'am?
Oh, your contributions
seem well-reasoned.
Yet you appear to be easily
rattled by Major Gerretsen.
Rattled? No
He came out of the Academy.
You know, he acts like I haven't
earned my seat at the table.
Perhaps you're acting that way.
Excuse me?
I admire your dedication
to your enlisted men,
but your focus as an officer
cannot be solely on them.
I am trying to keep them safe.
That is why I am on this committee.
World is scarier than it was
20 years ago, Lieutenant.
War isn't going anywhere.
We can't fight it
without special operators.
If you want the other people
on that committee
to help you prioritize
warfighter safety,
then you need to get to know them,
learn what they want,
and figure out how your
objective aligns with theirs.
So, in other words, play politics?
I'm the head of this committee
and you don't even know
my CV, for Pete's sake.
You're here because you have good ideas.
I'm telling you how to get
people to, to hear them.
Being a broken record isn't it.
Hey, we're coming in hot!
Hey, nurse, back, back.
Water, water, water, help.
Right now, right now. Right away.
Need IV bags. IV bags!
Hey, sit down. It's gonna be okay.
Baba's gonna be okay, okay?
Omar, you saved my bacon out there, man.
Which is saying a lot for
a guy who doesn't touch pork.
You could just say, "You're welcome".
You'd have done the same.
Teamwork makes the dream work, right?
You know, my, uh, my daughter Leanne,
she ain't feeling well
and she been fussy,
you know, she got gas pains
or diaper rash or
her baby mama puts on Taylor Swift
and she just lights up.
That's probably where them,
them references came from.
Shit we pick up from our kids.
Yeah.
My son loved construction trucks.
To this day, I see a digger or mixer,
I nearly shit myself
- with excitement.
- Hey.
Good work out there.
Help the YPJ get everyone
ready for exfil, got it?
Oh, everyone?
Including Hamal.
Respect, Hayes.
Did we just have a moment?
Keep it in your pants, will you?
Jace.
Yeah.
I think I can get our list
down from three.
What do you mean?
Well, we know the phones were
being used as repeaters, right?
Yeah.
If I can attach a BLE sniffer
to Hamal's phone
and we get him within Bluetooth
range of the main server device
connecting al-Sham's phones on target
- Yeah.
- then Hamal's phone will seed it,
allowing us to track 'em.
Fucking English, man.
Once we're tracking al-Sham's phones,
the next time the IP pings,
we'll know if they're in the vicinity.
And if they are, then we, we got
the group that hit the Crampton.
Yeah, and if they aren't,
then it's down to two groups.
ISIS or Chechens.
I don't know, fighting's heavy
right now out there.
It's just chasing the signal
that's-that's high-risk.
That's a smart idea, Ray,
but I got to agree with Hayes.
We got intel we can build off.
We saved a man and his daughter.
And Hamal. Take the wins and go home.
Jace, you already said yourself
that brass is antsy about us being here.
We spent two weeks getting nothing.
You really think we got
the luxury to take our time
before they pull the plug?
Here you go.
Get him in.
Turn around.
Let's go.
Listen. All you got to do is
walk in the building
that al-Sham's strongholding.
All right? It's easy.
You're in and you're out.
I thought I was leaving with the others.
The people that I helped
You do this for us,
we'll get you home safely.
All set.
Just walk around, look for
anybody on a computer or tablet.
Okay?
How do we know he's
connected to the network?
Keep this in your pocket.
Don't take it out. Ever.
Okay? All right.
It'll vibrate when your job is done.
And you'll come back and meet us here.
- And then I go home?
- Yeah.
Then you go home.
Take this.
You rotate it every time
you exit a building.
That way we know it's you.
Okay?
When you exit the building,
you turn it around, okay?
You understand what I'm saying to you?
You'll meet us when you're done.
Thank you for believing in me.
This is fucked-up.
- Check yourself, Bravo 2.
- You heard what happened
to Hamal's friend who tried to leave.
Look, kid got away once.
He can do it again.
Sonny and I saved a girl
thanks to his intel.
What, pull one kid from the fire
just so you could throw
this one in the furnace?
Add to the cycle of misery here?
We're giving that kid a chance
to earn his freedom.
Freedom Hayes already agreed to
We were sent here to avenge
the deaths of 20 Americans.
You understand?
I don't have to apologize
for doing my fucking job.
There's the Bravo 1 I expected.
Mission over everything else.
Mission and men.
My team, my call.
Yeah.
Just hope you made the right one, boss.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
Brian. Brian.
It's okay. It's okay.
It's just the s
the smart-sock, it fell off.
It's fine. It's a false alarm.
I got it. I got it.
I had everything under control.
Nothing in his phone's
gonna give him away, right?
Yeah, long as he keeps it in his pocket.
That's it.
Third building he's tried.
Third time someone could spot him.
Shh.
He did it. The IPs are populating.
Switch back to the drone feed.
Now the long walk to freedom.
Come on, kid.
Shake a fucking leg.
What's this guy doing?
We seeded the network.
Your team.
Your call.
