SEAL Team (2017) s07e03 Episode Script
Ships in the Night
1
- Previously on SEAL Team
- Clay's medkit
got blown clean off. If
I could flatten it all out
under my ballistic plate
That's a pretty smart idea.
ERIC: You created one hell of a mess.
Left us no choice but to stand you down.
You put Bravo back in the field
and you can have my Trident.
In eight more weeks,
then you're all ours.
RAY: Could be a chance
to have more of an impact
than I've been having with my rifle.
Like, all the work that I have done
lately on myself, I found a balance.
I just feel like running
back into the fire,
all that's just gonna destroy
the progress that I've made.
Colonel Decker he
was assaulted last night.
- [BOTH GRUNT]
- Investigation's underway.
- Not sure you all have met.
- SONNY: Drew Franklin.
Thought he was an urban legend.
You all will be spending the next month
working with Swedish SOG.
There's a reporter doing a podcast
about "the House of Franklin."
But this could be your
reputation on the line.
- [EXPLOSION]
- [ALL GROANING]
[GUNFIRE]
[GRUNTS]
[GUNSHOT]
- [LAUGHTER]
- Stop. I swear, Sonny,
if your legs moved half
as fast as your mouth,
you wouldn't always finish last.
Well, sprinting out to that early lead
wasn't the humdinger of
a plan I thought it was.
I don't know about that.
You know, crop-dusting
the competition
that was a John Tortorella
move, my brother.
Using the best tool in his tool kit.
- [LAUGHTER]
- Ah.
It's the world's
deadliest janitorial staff.
[OTHERS GROAN, LAUGH]
Thought you guys were ordered
back to your shore duty posts.
Yeah, we're still
serving our time in limbo.
Just got together for a workout.
JASON: Thought you'd be
off on your next Pro Dev.
- No, starts next week.
- JASON: Tell you what.
Since you got some downtime,
tomorrow you want to join us for a run?
Individual sport, right up your alley.
SONNY: Or we could hit the MMA mats
and beat that shit-eating
grin off your face.
[LAUGHTER]
I'll pass.
I've seen what Hayes can do
when he gets his hands on someone.
Keep enjoying yourselves.
If Command ever frees the Bravo Five,
you know, you might miss this.
♪
[ELECTRICAL WHIRRING, BEEPING]
[DOOR OPENS]
You're home early.
Well, you know, I put some face
time in at the supply depot,
did a run with the boys.
And I got about 20 seconds
left on this TBI exercise.
Not just a cognitive workout
- but a fashion statement, too.
- That's right.
- [FANFARE PLAYS ON VIDEO GAME]
- Oh. 50 out of 60.
Congratulations, new record.
How are everybody's spirits at base?
Same, you know Ray's
counting down the days,
the rest are going stir-crazy.
Still no word about
Bravo becoming deployable?
Nothing that I've heard of.
I'm sure Command appreciates you
not going full Bravo 1 on them.
[CHUCKLES]: Look, Command's gonna do
what Command's gonna do with us.
I mean, there's no
point battling with them.
All right? They're probably
just gonna drag their feet,
like they did with the TBI.
Well, I'm glad you're so
at ease with everything.
No night terrors since the
one right after Sweden, right?
No. The only nightmare I have these days
is thinking about you overfeeding Cerby
with bacon and what
that would do to my sofa.
[LAUGHS]
- What you told me the other day
- Yeah?
about how kitting up
might set you back somehow?
- Yeah.
- Maybe being out of the fight
does have its perks.
Well, I could, uh, think of a few.
Oh. Go on.
Yes, ma'am. So, what I was saying was
Hey, I need to talk to you.
Finally. You've been ducking me
since I got back from Sweden.
We agreed to be discreet, remember?
Mmm.
You, uh, still on this kick about
us keeping our distance?
Yeah, more than ever.
I heard there's an open investigation
into the Decker assault.
They know that it was
someone from the services.
Okay. After all this time,
and that's all that they got?
Them Jimmy Hoffa investigators
are puffing their chests out somewhere.
They might know more. I
can't exactly ask around.
The way that Command's treating Bravo,
if they had anything on me, anything,
they would've nailed me with it.
Well, I hope you're right.
RAY: And with all your success
in manufacturing, Mr. Lettow,
I know you recognize good machinery.
And that's what we have
here at Spenser House.
Solid machinery that we can fuel
through support by
generous contributors.
This intake area right here is where
our trained volunteers can
assess a veteran's needs
and start to help them
with a treatment plan.
Hey.
That's one of our
brilliant new social workers
that just joined us. Matthew.
Marcus.
- Marcus.
- Mm-hmm.
And we'd like to add five more Marcuses
with your help.
Upstairs, I can show you the brand-new
physical therapy room we just outfitted.
- It's a
- NAIMA: Uh, equipment arrives
next week, actually.
- Right. Right.
- Right.
The most vital part of
the machinery, Naima.
She keeps this place running.
While you're off, you know,
protecting our country.
[LETTOW CHUCKLES]
Tell me about the
namesake. Spenser House.
Um, Clay Spenser.
He was a Navy brother of
mine we lost a few months ago.
Oh, he was the young
man who was killed by
a veteran you were treating here?
No, that's,
uh, not what happened what happened.
- Uh, Clay volunteered here.
- Ah.
He truly believed in our mission.
Oh.
[PHONE BEEPS]
Uh, it's work.
- Okay.
- I, uh
have to go.
Excuse me, Mr. Lettow.
So, yeah, the equipment
should be here next week.
- Okay.
- And if you wanted to
[SIGHS]
[LOCK BEEPS, LATCH CLICKS]
[SIGHS]
Ray, any idea why
they're bringing us in?
No clue. Jace?
Well, Command's supply monkey
doesn't get read in early anymore.
Sending us off to another
time-waster somewhere.
After, uh, how well Sweden went?
Maybe they lost patience with us,
found a reason to drop the hammer.
I am gonna be 2IC of
an Applebee's somewhere.
Yeah, we've all been walking the line.
You gotta know that Bravo
1 has been up Command's ass
trying to get us back in the fire.
Damn right.
I bet Mr. "All In All the Time"
used our heroics in
Umeaå to remind Command
what we can do when
we're off the sidelines.
Well, whatever it is, we can handle it.
Ain't exactly "Win one
for the Gipper," Jace.
- Let's go.
- [CLAPS HANDS]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
They brought in the C.O.
I think we just walked the Green Mile.
As soon as the meeting's over,
report to personnel.
There's a couple visitors
would like a word.
Why?
Just passing along the message.
When I received the honor
of taking command of DEVGRU,
I assumed my time would be devoted
to guiding the most lethal
fighting force on Earth,
but much of my bandwidth
has been consumed by the question:
What to do with Bravo Team?
Doesn't sound promising.
WALCH: Many within these walls see Bravo
as a bunch of washed-up renegades.
Disobeying orders in Sweden
by going off base seems only
to have validated that view.
Well, Bravo's track record
speaks for itself, sir.
We got a lot of wins under our belt.
But none on my watch.
You haven't earned any
sweat equity with me.
So, consider this to be your best
and final chance to do so.
Lieutenant Davis.
[JASON CLEARS THROAT]
DAVIS: Special Operations
Command is undergoing
a shift away from counterterrorism
to broader deterrence of our
most powerful rival nations.
As a part of this, Bravo
Team will be partnering
with the DEA for a joint task force
focused on the fentanyl trade.
That's a lot of words to say
we're going after drug dealers.
Trip south of the border,
kicking cartel doors?
That works for us, right?
Tier One operators
strapping with the DEA.
What's the value in that?
The value is that this
op will allow the U.S.
to strike a blow against
our most formidable rival.
China.
DAVIS: China produces the
chemical precursors that become
the illicit fentanyl that killed over
100,000 Americans last year.
Although Chinese criminal syndicates
are the ones that are
trafficking the precursors,
they do so with the direct
support of their government.
Drugs sow chaos in the West,
it gives China an edge,
but one team of frogmen
is not gonna be able
to put a dent in that.
By targeting and disrupting a
specific trafficking syndicate,
the Sai Lou, we hope to find evidence
that they are supported by
CCP leadership in Beijing.
When nonaligned states in the region
are presented with that proof,
their allegiance will shift towards us.
So, make 'em see China
as a sleazy dope dealer,
they cozy up to Uncle Sam.
It's a long way from kicking
doors and chasing AQ dirtbags.
Operations like this are
the next era of warfare.
Invisible tactics with
global consequences.
Evolve or fall behind.
ERIC: Bravo will be based
at the American consulate
in Bangkok, Thailand
and should expect to run operations
throughout the Golden
Triangle of Southeast Asia.
Wheels up, 1100 tomorrow.
From deplorable to deployable.
Whatever you did worked, boss.
- Got what we wanted.
- That's right.
Back in the fight.
Sir.
I have some serious
concerns about this op.
Clearly, Bravo does, too.
You felt Jason and Ray's
hesitation in there.
I'll admit they did seem a bit subdued.
Even Quinn. Didn't know
he could do subdued.
Well, it seems like they're feeling
the same thing that I am.
- That they're being set up to fail.
- Excuse me?
This mission is critical
to our cold war with China
and a proving ground
for SOCOM's new methods.
Forcing it on the back of
a team that is undermanned
and out of practice doesn't make sense.
They're the only team.
This pivot away from the war on terror
may loom large in your eyes,
but there's still plenty of
skepticism here at DEVGRU.
Yes, that has been made very clear, sir.
You pick the op,
the skeptics in Command pick the team.
And with all the other units deployed
on what they consider to
be higher priorities
They put this op on a team
that has been mothballed for months.
Are we really letting a power play
by some DEVGRU dinosaurs
doom this initiative
before it even starts?
Let me see what our options are.
[LOCK BEEPS, LATCH CLICKS]
Oh.
Between you and me,
sideline bench was starting
to feel pretty cozy.
You know, Ray, nobody's gonna blink
if you want to just stay at home,
run out the clock.
No way I'm gonna pass
on the chance to, uh,
end my career rolling
hot with my brothers.
I do get the sense, uh,
that you're not so eager to
slap on the war paint yourself,
with how you were shook
after Sweden and all.
Nah, I'm good.
I'm solid.
Yeah, I'm just, uh,
more concerned about the fact that, uh,
this is happening in Southeast Asia,
you know, for you.
Last time we were there,
man, you were spiraling.
You know, problems with the family,
drinking.
Only time I ever took a swing at you.
Which is really why
I don't want to be ducking uppercuts
until you get to the finish line.
Going back there doesn't mean
returning to the man I was, brother.
Yeah.
You know, if this is
the whole new way of
running Spec Ops
why do you think that
they're trusting us
to launch this op?
Everyone else is deployed.
We're their only players.
And to think we trusted
those forward-thinkers
to make a move on TBI.
You know, last time I
went to see Blackburn
about, uh, Trent's
punishment, Walch was there.
And I-I swear, the only
thing he was thinking about
was not pissing off
his SOCOM boss Rivas.
Whose pet project now
rests on Bravo's shoulders.
What a difference a few hours makes.
The one thing that Walch
cares about is in our hands.
And that gives us leverage.
Why don't we use it?
Yeah.
[KNOCKING]
Petty Officer Quinn.
Yes, sir.
What's this regarding, sir?
My colleagues and I
understand you've been
keeping something hidden from us.
Sir?
Apparently, you've
taken it upon yourself
to pursue some extracurricular activity.
Um
I'm not sure what you mean, sir.
It never fails to surprise me
what our sailors are capable of.
The innovative ways in which
they apply their training.
Innovative? Uh
It's not a charge I've been
slapped with before, sir.
The under-plate medkit you designed.
[CHUCKLES]
This is about my medkit?
I heard it was a literal lifesaver
on a recent operation in Mosul.
We believe it has the potential
to become a key addition
to every operator's equipment.
Would you be interested in
working with R&D to develop it?
Shit yeah, sir.
Good.
WALCH: I'll grant there's some irony.
The urgency to deploy Bravo
when you haven't been winning
hearts and minds inside Command.
But as Captain Walch said earlier,
this mission should serve as a reset
to put Bravo back in good standing.
Well, that's why we
came to see you, sir.
We don't think that Bravo's deployable.
- Excuse me?
- JASON: Oh, the TBI
that Command has been
dragging its feet on,
it's I'm just concerned
that I could get a flare-up and I
could be unfit for duty.
And after that mall attack in Sweden,
my PTS might rear its ugly head again.
[CHUCKLES] Let me guess.
If steps were taken on the
warfighter health front,
it might ease both your symptoms?
Otherwise you're gonna
have to inform Admiral Rivas
that his initiative's first op
can't be executed.
Felt more genuine when
you offered up your Trident
in exchange for Bravo
being reinstated, Hayes.
Lucky for you two,
the hand you're trying to force
is one I've been pressing for myself.
I informed you, Master Chief,
Lieutenant Blackburn had
a TBI proposal on my desk.
Next week there's a meeting
to discuss earmarked funds
for exactly that proposal.
Not good enough.
Sailors, you are way out of line
- trying to shake down the
- Okay, okay.
[SIGHS]
Let's make that meeting happen today.
It won't just be talk.
You have my word.
Satisfied?
I'm feeling better already.
Sir.
[MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY]
[PHONE CHIMES]
CHELSEA: Drew.
- Chelsea.
- Hey, Chelsea.
I've been, uh, I've been
hoping we'd run into each other.
You have?
Yeah, you know, I lost
my phone after we, uh,
you know, we met.
Does that actually ever work?
We've never met before, have we?
You'd remember if we had.
Hmm.
You're the podcaster my
sister warned me about.
Not really sure a Navy SEAL
needs to be warned about me.
I just want to talk to
you about your family.
Why?
It's been 200 years since a Franklin
did anything worthwhile.
The Franklins have been a fixture
of American business and politics
since the 19th century.
My project is a deep dive
across the family saga,
across generations
right up to the present.
You seem to be an outlier in the clan.
You mean you've heard I have
enough of an axe to grind
that I'll spill all the tea.
Oh, I've dug up plenty
of juicy stuff myself.
- Mm.
- You know your great-great-uncle Thaddeus
founded a Vermont sex cult?
[PHONE BEEPS]
Well, enticing as this sounds,
I'm being called in to work.
Hey, meet me here tomorrow morning.
8:00.
And you can try to
convince me to help you.
Here's my number.
Just in case you lose your phone again.
You called in to see Blackburn, too?
Got creative with some demo charges.
I'm hoping they don't ding me too hard.
Yeah, you want to help your case,
don't let 'em see you anywhere near me.
ERIC: Franklin.
Come on in.
Some news, Petty Officer.
Sir.
You're being assigned
full-time to Bravo Team.
Sir, I'm
I'm committed to an
intensive Pro Dev itinerary.
Lockpicking school and
tactical Jet Ski training?
It's crucial skills for
a well-rounded frogman.
Or evasive actions
by one who has dodged
being part of a team for
much of his tenure at DEVGRU.
That ends now.
Report to your team
leader Master Chief Hayes.
Well, you ever hear the one about my dad
being a senator, sir?
You're a great operator, Drew.
But it's been long enough
since you've been a team guy.
Like it or not, you're
part of Bravo now.
Hey, Davis, wait up.
Ah, so much for discretion. [CHUCKLES]
Uh, the Navy brass meeting
wasn't about Decker at all.
What meeting? What Navy brass?
Uh, don't worry.
Turns out, they're
more interested in my
brain than my brawn.
Sonny, I'm not following.
The under-the-plate medkit that
I was tinkering on after Mali?
Well, they, uh, maybe
want to start using it.
- Sonny, that is amazing.
- I know, right?
In caveman days, the
ability to make tools
was a big step up from flinging feces.
- I'm proud of you.
- [CHUCKLES]
And Clay would be, too.
Thanks.
Um [CLEARS THROAT]
The Decker investigation?
It's still active.
And Bravo is, too.
Finally.
You know that, uh, that
gig you set up for us?
It's a worthy comeback.
Well, just stay smart.
You know, the brass kind of sees me as,
like, an Einstein with an M4 now.
Just saying.
[LOCK BEEPS, LATCH CLICKS]
Trent Warfare.
You're back. What's up, brother?
Hey, man, good to see you.
Well, Blackburn wanted to plus up Bravo.
So, got me an early release from LOGSU.
[CHUCKLES]: Yeah.
What the hell's this?
What the hell you doing here, huh?
- Jace?
- Yeah?
What's the Lone Ranger doing here?
Drew's also been
assigned full-time to us.
Yeah, our one-night stand
became a shotgun wedding.
How many steps has Bravo lost
if Command is looking
to me to plus you up?
Well, maybe Bravo 1
will straighten you out.
What we need is a solid
shooter with sniper skills.
Take any open cage you want.
- Already got one.
- What? Where?
Just tell me what time to
be on the tarmac tomorrow.
So, you gonna bleed Bravo?
Take that full metal
jacket off and stay a while.
Wheels up at 1100.
♪
[SCOFFS]
One minute you're counting supplies,
the next you're leading
the tip of the spear.
Mm-hmm.
The Navy's sense of
timing remains unmatched.
Well, the guys don't seem to mind.
And what about you?
Oh I'm great. I mean
the fact that, uh, you know, Walch
is taking this whole
TBI thing seriously now
because of this mission, I'm good.
[CERBERUS WHINES]
And I know how important
that win is for you,
but I mean, you've actually
been enjoying your downtime.
I can't imagine you're eager
to ramp back into battle so fast.
No, no, no, no, no. No battling.
I mean, according to Davis, this
is a whole new era of warfare.
Okay, but Sweden was
supposed to be safe, too.
- Right?
- Mm-hmm.
You came home worried about what being
back downrange could do
to the balance you found.
I was just rattled from
being on the sidelines
for too long, that's why.
It's not like I'm
going to Fallujah here.
[CHUCKLES] Right?
And if Davis is right,
then it's not going to affect
the progress that I've made.
Okay.
[MANDY SIGHS]
Kids are knocked out.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
They wanted me to, uh,
promise this'll be
the last time I leave.
And?
I said six weeks from now,
I'm home forever.
All right.
I just, uh
wish I could stick
around to rustle up more
Spenser House funding after I
blew that pitch this morning.
You didn't blow anything, babe.
Besides, you're not the
only one in the family
- who can press the flesh.
- Mm.
I'll keep the checks coming
in while you're deployed.
I know you will.
Mmm.
But it did kind of feel like
you'd rather face bullets
than Mr. Lettow's questions.
Babe between shore duty
and getting my retirement in order,
touring him around just reminded
me of how much I missed out on.
Okay.
Well, once you're done with Bravo,
it'll be good for you to
spend more time actually
at Spenser House.
See the impact you're making.
- Right.
- Yeah.
I'll be there.
Soon, baby.
- Okay.
- Soon.

Fuck.

[EXHALING DEEPLY]
[MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY]
Does the Navy mind when
you show up 20 minutes late?
Much like you, they clearly
think I'm worth waiting for.
So, I wrote up some of the topics
I'd like to get into with you.
Just to be transparent.
Inbreeding, substance abuse,
corporate malfeasance
and satanism.
No, I might have to listen to this.
I know there's a lot of questions
surrounding your mother,
so I was thinking
I'm being shipped overseas today.
For how long?
Long enough for you to
need a new family informant.
Then why are you here?
If this isn't my chance to
convince you of an interview
what is it?
Oh, it's two attractive people
with a couple of free hours
you know, before one of
them heroically flies off
to put his life in danger?
No, you're a journalist,
and you see the possibilities.
This is exactly what I was
warned to expect from you.
Yeah?
And what else did you hear?
In and out of elite boarding
schools since the fourth grade.
At 19, you finally cut
ties with your family
to find a new one with the Navy.
The question I had was how
that worked out for you.
Have a nice trip.
When I get back
you know, maybe you can
ask me some questions.
[JET SCREECHING OVERHEAD]
Hmm.
[LOCK BEEPS, LATCH CLICKS]
- You ready to roll?
- Yeah.
RAY: You know, deployment
might be a blessing in disguise.
Help you whip Bravo back
into shape before I pop smoke.
Yeah. Hey, listen, man, can
you do something else for me?
Yeah.
Can you, uh, put this in my
burn box for me, will you?
- What is it?
- Nothing.
Kind of "nothing" you need me to torch
- if you don't come back?
- It's nothing, Ray.
Just put it in my burn box, will you?
All right.
But last week you were making
plans for family trips, and
now something's got you thinking
about the end of the line?
Come on, let's go. Put it
in the burn box, will you?
- All right.
- Thanks.
Let's roll.
All right.
♪
MILES: Welcome to Thailand.
I'm Special Agent in
Charge Samantha Miles.
DEA's happy to have your support.
Well, happy to be here.
Well, between Bangkok, the
Phi Phi Islands, and Phuket,
expect more laughs than a hotter night
- at the chuckle hut.
- To be clear,
low-hanging fruit's for Sonny's jokes,
- not our ops.
- Oh, I've experienced SEAL "sense of humor."
It's why I had them bolt down
most of the furniture here.
[LOCK CHIMES]
[BEEPS]
Thank you.
Bravo's living and working quarters.
And my office is just down the hall.
I'll let you settle in,
then come back and brief you up.
- Oh.
- Whatever works for you.
Suspiciously accommodating
for a Tier One unit.
Oh, he's playing nice 'cause
Bravo just got off house arrest.
- More of that trademark SEAL humor.
- Mm.
Yeah, Bravo 1 is usually pretty
quick to mark his territory
on these, uh, joint
ops, and him and Ray,
well, they just rolled
over to our DEA handler.
Old dogs might've lost a little bite
while we were leashed up.
Well, I think it's
gonna be up to me and you
to keep the Bravo pack strong.
Starting with getting Drew
- off Loner Island.
- [SCOFFS]
I sat next to him on
the 20-hour flight.
Somehow I know less about
him than when we took off.
Okay, hundred bucks to the first person
that gets him to tell us
something real about himself.
[LAUGHS]
I have been on the receiving end
of your welcome committee.
No way he tells you shit.
- You make that $200.
- Yeah.
- 200 bucks?
- You got it.
After you.
Oh, uh, Brock's securing our gear.
We'll fill him in after.
I take it your in-flight reading
caught you up on the Sai Lou Syndicate?
Yes, Chinese triad that
ships precursor chemicals
from the mainland down to Mexico,
where the cartels turn it into fentanyl.
MILES: One of the shipping routes
used by the Sai Lou traffickers
stops to refuel here.
Heron Reef, among the Spratly Islands
in the South China Sea.
Your mission will be to find a way
to exploit the Sai Lou ship
to gain further intel into
their trafficking operations.
Intel our bosses at
SOCOM can mine for proof
the Chinese government is
tied into the fentanyl trade.
MILES: Along with
helping the DEA clamp down
- on the flow of drugs.
- You're hoping SEALs will reduce drug flow?
Must not get the Times over here.
S.A. op targeting a cargo
ship. That's no problem.
Problem is, Heron Reef
is a contested island,
with China claiming it as their own.
They've built infrastructure,
they patrol it with security boats.
It is effectively Chinese territory.
Which means a Chinese-sized
fallout if anything goes wrong.
MILES: Any hint of your presence
will likely be seen as an act of war.
So this must be zero-footprint,
with no shots fired.
Well, it just depends
how big the trouble gets
- in little China
- You heard her.
No shots fired. Got it?
We'll stay in the shadows.
You all understand
what you're up against.
I'll leave you to it.
Look, I'm telling
you, simplest option
just dive from an indig boat
and attach an RFID to the ship's hull.
Allows tracking of its movements,
even if the ship is
spoofing GPS and sat signals.
What if they get sly with the cargo,
swap the barrels of precursor
to another ship along the way?
We need trackers on
the barrels themselves.
That means boarding and getting
all the way down to the cargo hold.
It just dials up the risk of discovery.
Not for ninjas like us.
Even while holding fire.
Come on. 100,000 dead Americans a year.
Be nice to know where
this poison's headed.
All right, look, we're
on two teams then.
One dives, attaches the tracker
to the bottom of the hull,
the other does a hook-and-climb,
finds the barrels and tags them.
All right, the boarding team
should also carry a cell sniffer.

When I received the honor

I assumed my time would be devoted
to guiding the most lethal
fighting force on Earth,
but much of my bandwidth

What to do with Bravo Team?
Doesn't sound promising.
WALCH: Many within these walls see Bravo
as a bunch of washed-up renegades.
Disobeying orders in Sweden
by going off base seems only
to have validated that view.
Well, Bravo's track record
speaks for itself, sir.
We got a lot of wins under our belt.
But none on my watch.
You haven't earned any
sweat equity with me.
So, consider this to be your best
and final chance to do so.
Lieutenant Davis.
[JASON CLEARS THROAT]
DAVIS: Special Operations
Command is undergoing
a shift away from counterterrorism
to broader deterrence of our
most powerful rival nations.
As a part of this, Bravo
Team will be partnering
with the DEA for a joint task force
focused on the fentanyl trade.
That's a lot of words to say
we're going after drug dealers.
Trip south of the border,
kicking cartel doors?
That works for us, right?
Tier One operators
strapping with the DEA.
What's the value in that?
The value is that this
op will allow the U.S.
to strike a blow against
our most formidable rival.
China.
DAVIS: China produces the
chemical precursors that become
the illicit fentanyl that killed over
100,000 Americans last year.
Although Chinese criminal syndicates
are the ones that are
trafficking the precursors,
they do so with the direct
support of their government.
Drugs sow chaos in the West,
it gives China an edge,
but one team of frogmen
is not gonna be able
to put a dent in that.
By targeting and disrupting a
specific trafficking syndicate,
the Sai Lou, we hope to find evidence
that they are supported by
CCP leadership in Beijing.
When nonaligned states in the region
are presented with that proof,
their allegiance will shift towards us.
So, make 'em see China
as a sleazy dope dealer,
they cozy up to Uncle Sam.
It's a long way from kicking
doors and chasing AQ dirtbags.
Operations like this are
the next era of warfare.
Invisible tactics with
global consequences.
Evolve or fall behind.
ERIC: Bravo will be based
at the American consulate
in Bangkok, Thailand
and should expect to run operations
throughout the Golden
Triangle of Southeast Asia.
Wheels up, 1100 tomorrow.
From deplorable to deployable.
Whatever you did worked, boss.
- Got what we wanted.
- That's right.
Back in the fight.
Sir.
I have some serious
concerns about this op.
Clearly, Bravo does, too.
You felt Jason and Ray's
hesitation in there.
I'll admit they did seem a bit subdued.
Even Quinn. Didn't know
he could do subdued.
Well, it seems like they're feeling
the same thing that I am.
- That they're being set up to fail.
- Excuse me?
This mission is critical
to our cold war with China
and a proving ground
for SOCOM's new methods.
Forcing it on the back of
a team that is undermanned
and out of practice doesn't make sense.
They're the only team.
This pivot away from the war on terror
may loom large in your eyes,
but there's still plenty of
skepticism here at DEVGRU.
Yes, that has been made very clear, sir.
You pick the op,
the skeptics in Command pick the team.
And with all the other units deployed
on what they consider to
be higher priorities
They put this op on a team
that has been mothballed for months.
Are we really letting a power play
by some DEVGRU dinosaurs
doom this initiative
before it even starts?
Let me see what our options are.
[LOCK BEEPS, LATCH CLICKS]
Oh.
Between you and me,
sideline bench was starting
to feel pretty cozy.
You know, Ray, nobody's gonna blink
if you want to just stay at home,
run out the clock.
No way I'm gonna pass
on the chance to, uh,
end my career rolling
hot with my brothers.
I do get the sense, uh,
that you're not so eager to
slap on the war paint yourself,
with how you were shook
after Sweden and all.
Nah, I'm good.
I'm solid.
Yeah, I'm just, uh,
more concerned about the fact that, uh,
this is happening in Southeast Asia,
you know, for you.
Last time we were there,
man, you were spiraling.
You know, problems with the family,
drinking.
Only time I ever took a swing at you.
Which is really why
I don't want to be ducking uppercuts
until you get to the finish line.
Going back there doesn't mean
returning to the man I was, brother.
Yeah.
You know, if this is
the whole new way of
running Spec Ops
why do you think that
they're trusting us
to launch this op?
Everyone else is deployed.
We're their only players.
And to think we trusted
those forward-thinkers
to make a move on TBI.
You know, last time I
went to see Blackburn
about, uh, Trent's
punishment, Walch was there.
And I-I swear, the only
thing he was thinking about
was not pissing off
his SOCOM boss Rivas.
Whose pet project now
rests on Bravo's shoulders.
What a difference a few hours makes.
The one thing that Walch
cares about is in our hands.
And that gives us leverage.
Why don't we use it?
Yeah.
[KNOCKING]
Petty Officer Quinn.
Yes, sir.
What's this regarding, sir?
My colleagues and I
understand you've been
keeping something hidden from us.
Sir?
Apparently, you've
taken it upon yourself
to pursue some extracurricular activity.
Um
I'm not sure what you mean, sir.
It never fails to surprise me
what our sailors are capable of.
The innovative ways in which
they apply their training.
Innovative? Uh
It's not a charge I've been
slapped with before, sir.
The under-plate medkit you designed.
[CHUCKLES]
This is about my medkit?
I heard it was a literal lifesaver
on a recent operation in Mosul.
We believe it has the potential
to become a key addition
to every operator's equipment.
Would you be interested in
working with R&D to develop it?
Shit yeah, sir.
Good.
WALCH: I'll grant there's some irony.
The urgency to deploy Bravo
when you haven't been winning
hearts and minds inside Command.
But as Captain Walch said earlier,
this mission should serve as a reset
to put Bravo back in good standing.
Well, that's why we
came to see you, sir.
We don't think that Bravo's deployable.
- Excuse me?
- JASON: Oh, the TBI
that Command has been
dragging its feet on,
it's I'm just concerned
that I could get a flare-up and I
could be unfit for duty.
And after that mall attack in Sweden,
my PTS might rear its ugly head again.
[CHUCKLES] Let me guess.
If steps were taken on the
warfighter health front,
it might ease both your symptoms?
Otherwise you're gonna
have to inform Admiral Rivas
that his initiative's first op
can't be executed.
Felt more genuine when
you offered up your Trident
in exchange for Bravo
being reinstated, Hayes.
Lucky for you two,
the hand you're trying to force
is one I've been pressing for myself.

Starting with getting Drew

Somehow I know less about
him than when we took off.
Okay, hundred bucks to the first person

After you.
Oh, uh, Brock's securing our gear.
We'll fill him in after.
I take it your in-flight reading
caught you up on the Sai Lou Syndicate?
Yes, Chinese triad that
ships precursor chemicals
from the mainland down to Mexico,
where the cartels turn it into fentanyl.
MILES: One of the shipping routes
used by the Sai Lou traffickers
stops to refuel here.
Heron Reef, among the Spratly Islands
in the South China Sea.
Your mission will be to find a way
to exploit the Sai Lou ship
to gain further intel into
their trafficking operations.
Intel our bosses at
SOCOM can mine for proof
the Chinese government is
tied into the fentanyl trade.
MILES: Along with
helping the DEA clamp down
- on the flow of drugs.
- You're hoping SEALs will reduce drug flow?
Must not get the Times over here.
S.A. op targeting a cargo
ship. That's no problem.
Problem is, Heron Reef
is a contested island,
with China claiming it as their own.
They've built infrastructure,
they patrol it with security boats.
It is effectively Chinese territory.
Which means a Chinese-sized
fallout if anything goes wrong.
MILES: Any hint of your presence
will likely be seen as an act of war.
So this must be zero-footprint,
with no shots fired.
Well, it just depends
how big the trouble gets
- in little China
- You heard her.
No shots fired. Got it?
We'll stay in the shadows.
You all understand
what you're up against.
I'll leave you to it.
Look, I'm telling
you, simplest option
just dive from an indig boat
and attach an RFID to the ship's hull.
Allows tracking of its movements,
even if the ship is
spoofing GPS and sat signals.
What if they get sly with the cargo,
swap the barrels of precursor
to another ship along the way?
We need trackers on
the barrels themselves.
That means boarding and getting
all the way down to the cargo hold.
It just dials up the risk of discovery.
Not for ninjas like us.
Even while holding fire.
Come on. 100,000 dead Americans a year.
Be nice to know where
this poison's headed.
All right, look, we're
on two teams then.
One dives, attaches the tracker
to the bottom of the hull,
the other does a hook-and-climb,
finds the barrels and tags them.
All right, the boarding team
should also carry a cell sniffer.
We get close to any of the Chinese crew,
ripping their phone might give us
some additional intel, eh?
