SEAL Team (2017–…): Season 3, Episode 20 - No Choice in Duty - full transcript

Previously on SEAL Team...

You'd be an outstanding
candidate for STA-21.

Seaman to Admiral?

- Pushing me for STA-21.
- I knew it!

I haven't said yes.

Oh, but you haven't
said no, either, have you?

I'm sure you're looking forward
to being back with your team.

I'm my own worst enemy

when I'm away from my
brothers and out of the fight.

You know, Sonny's back soon.

And how do you think he's
gonna react to you and Reiss?



'Bout as well as him reacting
to you going to STA-21.

What we do here, that's what matters.

I'm not saying it doesn't, J,

just saying it's gettin'
harder and harder

not to have my head back
home with the family.

Where you hang your
helmet... that's home.

Sidiqi IDed our Key Unknown.

His name is Azfaar Al-Hazred.

Related to Asim Al-Hazred.

Yes. Azfaar is his only son.

Doesn't matter who his dad was.

Just another name on the list.

Okay. We'll need
somebody at that meeting.

Eyes and ears inside.



Please. Leave me alone.

Your on-base vendor
contracts are up next month.

I'd hate to tell your wife and
son that you lost your business.

You're not serious.

You may have burned our informant.

Now you're just being paranoid.

The Army patrol we tasked
got back ten minutes ago.

They found him in the market. I'm sorry.

Next step in the Tahara
network's long-term plan.

Azfaar Al-Hazred has taken
his father's legacy of violence

to a whole new level.

Boys as young as 12

trained as soldiers and suicide bombers.

Junior inherits his dad's bloodlust

and forces it onto others.

Some intensive indoctrination.

Charlie Manson would be jealous
of that level of brainwashing.

Al-Hazred Jr. has already recruited

thousands of young fighters
from at least a dozen nations.

Whole new generation of enemies.

Junior is also using the family brand

to appeal to the old guard.

Former IS and AQ fighters
are pouring into Afghanistan.

So where is he?

Unlike his father,

who was a visible figurehead,

Azfaar has managed to
remain in the shadows

while building and leading his network.

Well, we like shadows.
It's where the fun happens.

Unfortunately, we still
don't have a trail on Junior.

So we're nowhere. That's
what you're saying.

Agency's digging hard for leads.

Till we have a place to
point the tip of the spear,

we're in a holding pattern.

Right. We're in a holding pattern.

Just hurry up and wait

while the clock's running
out on deployment.

We all hear it loud and clear.

That's all for now.

Going after the son of the biggest
terrorist we ever took out...

that's one hell of a double-tap.

There's nothing biblical about it, Ray.

He's just the next target, that's all.

Don't give me that
"next target" chatter.

You taking out Al-Hazred

was one of the biggest milestones

in the war on terror.

I mean, i-it changed history.

You gonna say it didn't change you?

You know what? You're over-thinking it.

No. This is our lives
come full circle, brother.

You're just gonna shrug it off

like it's some cosmic coincidence?

It's war.

I want to fight. Don't
want to talk about it.

Maybe not talking
about it's the problem.

Jace...

13 years later, here we
are in the same place,

fighting the second generation
of the same war. Wh...

What's that say about our job, Jace?

What's that say about us?

Far as I'm concerned, not a damn thing.

You in?

What in the hell you
boys sittin' around for?

Thought we had a war to fight.

Sonny.

You survived summer school.

I sure did. And, uh...

I actually brought you boys back
some Horny Lizard Hot Sauce.

I figured, you know, we could,
uh, fire up the barbeque and...

I'm gonna go get a lift in, fellas.

I'm tired of bleeding money.

I'm out.

Oh.

Welcome back.

Guess these dudes
really dislike hot sauce.

Oh, wait.

Maybe it's you.

You know, I didn't expect
to see you here, Thirty.

I figured my teammates
would've already fitted you

for an iron maiden.

- Mm.
- Mm.

Sounds like something you
should be worried about.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Means...

whatever napalm you
dropped before you left

is still simmering.

Hey, how's this stuff on pancakes?

Crept out of my hooch

to read intelligence
reports this morning?

A lesser man would've been offended.

I can't let the intel go cold.

Just like that coffee
I hope you're holding.

Hazelnut's in the left hand.

Five times straight.

I'm gonna need a psyops unit
to run some tests on you.

Maybe you're just easy to read.

What's new?

Oh. Actually looking at what's old.

The file on Al-Hazred Sr.

I'm trying to retrace that manhunt.

Son might be following
in the father's footsteps.

Anything interesting?

Well, there was a medical angle

that the Agency pursued back then.

Al-Hazred's wife had
a rare genetic ailment

called "aplastic anemia".

Required regular blood transfusions.

So, the idea was to
trace those treatments.

We might get pointed to their hideout.

I don't remember this from
the books or the movies.

Didn't lead anywhere.

But, you know, a... maybe
a hereditary condition...

Could be a thread to follow.

It's a long shot, I know.

Mm.

Your instincts have been dead-on so far.

I'll have Langley check into it.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

How is she?

Not great.

But she knows that no
one could have prevented

what happened to Samim.

She told you that?

We haven't had a chance to really talk.

... but the senator's
microphone was still on.

Everybody in the room
heard what he said.

Some people think he was
set up by his own party.

I thought the Taliban fought dirty.

So, uh, what's going on there?

Um, other than Sonny
coming back from Texas,

uh, not much to report.

Sonny's back?

Means it's been six weeks
since you left already.

That's, um...

... the way it seems.

Yeah, I know. For me, too.

So, how did he take it when you
told him you were going STA-21?

You haven't told him yet.

Sonny was a lit fuse before.

I mean... he'd explode
out here in the wild.

Speaking of lit fuses,

that letter about Ambassador Marsden

has been getting a lot of attention.

Oh, yeah?

Can't get a drink in this town

without hearing someone's opinion

on who sent the letter to the press.

I mean, whoever it was
that sent it, at least

they set the record straight,
and that's what matters.

This whole thing will
all blow over soon.

You sure about that?

You know how politicians
love the troops...

until they start having opinions.

What's going on here, boss?

Whoa, wait a second, look at that, huh?

Now right there is a
knuckle-draggin' sight

for sore eyes.

Sonny Quinn! Yeah!

Look at you, you look good.

Figured all those steers and
steins you're putting down

you'd add a couple more pounds,
but you're trimming up, bud.

I did a lot of running
to work off those...

Texas-sized meals, you know.

Yeah, but you know what?

Lindell, right, he sends you out there

to, to die, and you proved him wrong.

That's all that matters.

Yeah, but what Lindell did...

Backfired... that's what happened.

Backfired, 'cause you
came back stronger.

I can tell in your eyes.

Learned my lesson, Jace.

And I'm ready to be whatever
next-generation SEAL

Lindell and my teammates need me to be.

Stop with that
"next-generation SEAL" stuff.

I don't need one of my
operators playing nice

with the shot-callers...
and cake-eaters.

That's not you.

What if that's what it
takes to stay on Bravo?

You know, I-I learned
something in, in Texas.

Yeah?

Evolution is inevitable.

It don't mean it's a bad thing, either.

That's bar down.

And I'm the one who decides
who stays in Bravo, okay?

You and I, we're warriors.

We cannot afford change.

Can't, got it?

Whatever you say, Jace.

Come on, man.

You think I'm pretty now, Metal,

you should've seen me back
when we took out Al-Hazred.

All this talk about him,
got me feeling like I'm 25.

Well, how does it feel
to be a virgin again?

Trust me, when it
comes to an op like this,

you're the virgin.

You have no idea.

Taking out a target like his daddy.

All that attention.

Start to feel like a golden god.

Ain't that right, Ray?

I don't know about all of that, but....

I will admit having your op splashed

all over every front
page in the world...

hard not to feel something.

Yeah, immortal.

Remember when we got stateside,

that tear we went on?

Some of the best times of my life.

Yeah, I don't remember
those times so fondly.

I already needed a
swift kick in the ass.

All that attention didn't
help the situation.

You know what I mean?
Took meetin' Naima to...

bring me back down to earth.

Yeah, pray I don't get cursed

with that kind of redemption.

The craziest thing is, is...

all the stuff I did to change my life,

it's Groundhog Day around here.

New generation of evil replaces the old.

Something inescapable about it.

I'll be right back.

Yo!

- Yeah.
- Hey!

- Hey!
- What?! What?

You done lapped this damn
thing about eight times.

Yeah, just staying primed, okay?

- Nothing wrong with that.
- Nope, you're sharking.

You haven't sat still since we
found out about Al-Hazred Jr.

Yeah, well, I'll tell you what,
if we weren't overthinking it,

maybe we'd have him in our
crosshairs by now, all right?

All right, I need two volunteers

to escort Agent Ellis
into the Bagrami District.

She's delivering a condolence
gift to Samim's widow.

Why are you sending Mandy?

I'm not, she insisted.

Pentagon signed off on that?

Yeah.

All right, well, you got your
first volunteer right here.

Well, visiting a grieving widow
isn't exactly a Tier One op.

I'll take what I can get.

Trent. Let's roll, man!

Kit up, you're with me.

All right.

What are you doing here?

Security detail.

Sending Bravo 1's a
little over the top, isn't it?

I'm aware of that. But
it is a condolence visit.

People react badly.

$20,000. That's what they get.

For losing a husband, a father.

Not surprising people react badly.

Right. Well, you know what?
You don't have to do this.

You know? I can deliver that for you.

I sent Samim into the lion's den.

A man with no training, no protection.

So if you think that this
is gonna be dangerous?

Seems only fair.

You know, deliveries like these
are like death notifications.

Just make the formal apology.
We'll be in and out.

You know, Mandy, just because Samim died

doesn't mean what you did was wrong.

Why are you here?

I'm watching your six.
That's why I'm here.

Bravo 1 leaving his flock behind?

I can't remember ever seeing this.

You're looking for a distraction.

From what?

I'm just doing my job.

Hey, Lisa.

Lisa.

Ensign Davis.

You know, you are a hard
woman to track down.

Been busy.

Look, t-that conversation I had
with you before deployment...

You mean, that one about
you getting so drunk

at the strip club, they had
to call me to come get you?

- Yes. That one. Hey.
- Again? That one, okay.

Look, you were right not to answer.

I was a grade-A jackass
and I should never

have treated you like that.

You had a lot going on.
Lindell blindsided you.

I hope being in Texas helped.

It-it did, yeah.

Saw some old friends and
I even looked up my dad.

Can you believe it or not... Yeah.

- Really?
- Yeah.

My God, it's been, like,

how long since you guys saw each other?

Too long. I should've
been back way sooner.

But he... You know us Quinns,

we're a couple of stubborn jackasses.

Um, look, Sonny, I'm glad
everything went well there,

but I got to get to work.

Lisa.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Good to see you back.

Who's that you were talking to?

Oh, it's just one of the operators.

We've worked together for a long time.

You got something?

Yeah, Azfaar Al-Hazred's
medical history. You were right.

He suffers from the same
anemic condition as his mother.

And we've IDed the doctor who's
alleged to be treating him.

That is huge.

Yep. I've got contractors on
their way to talk to the doctor.

- Now, as soon you hear anything, will you just...
- Lisa.

There's nobody else I'd go to.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, my God.

They roll out the welcoming committee?

It's probably just friends
and family of Samim,

guarding his wife and son.

Just sit tight. Got it?

They don't seem too alarmed we're here.

You and GRS pull security.

I'll take her in.

No chances on this one, you understand?

- Anything looks off, we're out of here.
- Roger that.

_

_

Okay. You can't come in with me.

They way they're sporting
their AKs like that,

you're not going in without me.

Well, she's in mourning.

Muslim law says that the only
men allowed inside are family.

You know we can't dishonor that.

Stay close to the door,
so I can hear you.

Sonny.

Hey, man.

I was literally about
to go eat with Cerberus,

assuming he'd have me.

I know what you're
going through, brother.

- Oh, yeah?
- Leaving your family's always hard,

but sometimes coming back
ain't no picnic, either.

Hard feelings have a tendency to fester.

Clay, I get. I do. I mean,
I practically accused him

of ratting me out to Lindell.

Practically, my caramel-colored
ass. You did that.

All right, okay, I deserve...
Look, I-I screwed up, man.

I did. I screwed up with
Clay, with the team and...

I just got to take my-my
medicine and prove myself again.

But I'll tell you what, man,

this whole Davis giving
me a cold shoulder

'cause she got some new man,
you know... I-I don't know,

I just... I didn't expect that.

Look, man.

It's time to go.

All right.

A mission package has been authorized.

So listen up. We may
have a live one here.

This morning, intel discovered
a doctor who's been treating

Azfaar Al-Hazred for a
rare medical condition.

Agency contractors just
spoke with that doctor.

We got a location on Al-Hazred?

The doctor doesn't have
one, but Al-Hazred's

been using this courier to
send him his medications.

There happened to be a pickup

just minutes before
our contractors arrived.

The courier could lead us to Al-Hazred.

Tell me we've got eyes on him.

Also on the two armed
guards that are accompanying him.

The target vehicle's
currently on its way

to the mountain town of Surobi.

We're big game hunting today, boys.

Because following the courier becomes

increasingly difficult
in that area's terrain,

OGA's requested a tac team to
roll him up for questioning.

We're short a few guns.

Well, apprehending the
courier is time-sensitive,

so the mission proceeds
without Jason and Trent.

Perfect. Statler and Waldorf
would just slow us down.

All right. Saddle up your team, Ray.

- Let's go.
- Copy that.

Doesn't feel right
going out without Jason.

Yeah, his fault for running
out to play bodyguard.

Besides, this one's cake.

Hmm. Maybe not.

The easy ones are Murphy's favorite.

Plus, we got a new,
uh, new starting lineup.

Easy there, Pippi Blondestocking.

I am tight and Ray's got this covered.

Yeah, you sure about that?

Ten years ago, I would've
followed Prime-Time Perry

into Hades for a ham sandwich.

But this kinder, softer
Ray Perry I'm seeing today?

Oh! Ho!

All right, everybody dial it in, okay?

No matter where Jason is
right now, whatever he's doing,

you can guarantee that
his head is in it 100%.

That's what I need
from you. Are we clear?

We're clear.

My name is Mandy Ellis.

I'm a representative of
the United States military.

I wanted to come extend our condolences

on the death of your husband.

I'm sorry, that's the
extent of my Pashto,

but Samim's English was excellent,

so I hope you understand me.

Your husband was a very brave man.

Samim was a man of strong beliefs,

and the conviction to
stand up for what's right.

He understood that change takes action.

He was working with
us to make this country

a better place for everyone,

but especially his family.

Hey.

Your dad,

your dad was a hero.

Unfortunately,

Samim lost his life in
service of that ideal.

The United States is very grateful

for his assistance.

We would like to recognize
his service and his courage.

I know there's no amount of money

that can make up for your loss, but...

This is why you came here,

to pay me for the life of my husband?

How dare you?

Do you think I don't know who you are?

Samim told me about you,
how you-you pushed him,

threatened him.

You are the reason my husband is dead!

And now you-you come here
with your blood money,

to pay me off?

Americans.

To you, Afghan lives are nothing!

- All right, let's go.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

That's it. Let's go. Come on.

Let's go. We're going. We're going.

- Let's go. Move, move, move.
- That night,

the night your husband was murdered,

- did you see anything? Do you know anything...
- Leave!

... about how your husband was
killed? Did you see anything?

- Move. Come on, come on.
- Okay, okay.

Come on.

In you go.

You all right?

- I'm fine.
- Let's move.

Havoc Base, this is Bravo 1.

I pass Shula. Over.

Copy, Bravo 1. CTR shows

what appears to be six fighting-age
males inside the target.

Did he say six?

If the courier has two guards,
then who are the other three?

Are we gonna harpoon
the white whale right here?

Guess Captain America didn't
get cast for the sequel.

Havoc Base, this is Bravo 1.

Is there any indication
our HVT is in there?

Negative, Bravo 1.

Ronin had a visual on all six occupants.

HVT's not on target.

That's a good copy. Bravo out.

All right.

So, let's go get the guy
that's gonna give us the guy.

Hey, Ray? Something you got to see.

Copy that.

On the move.

What do we got?

Looks like HVT squirted off target.

If we're gonna catch
him, we got to go now.

Just one deployment, I'd like to skip

the "Big Tour of Afghan Tunnels".

Havoc Base, this is Bravo
1. Target house is secure.

Courier and three tangos
are unaccounted for.

We have a tunnel on target, but
we don't know how far it goes.

We'll likely lose comms.
Permission to enter.

Go ahead and clear it, Bravo 1.

You've got a 60-minute window off comms.

Then I am launching a QRF.

Copy that. Bravo out.

Brock, you're the lucky one.

Okay. Go get it.

You did the right thing.

She was wrong, accusing you like that.

No, everything she said was true.

And it's fine.

Mandy, come on.

He died fighting for the greater good.

So stop beating yourself up.

I know.

Sending Samim in was the best
way to get a lead on Tahara,

and if I had it to do all over again,

I'd do exactly the same thing.

And that's what scares me.

When I first started this job,

losing a CI would have decimated me.

And now, losing Dr. Craig and Samim?

It's really hard, but...

... I can pick up the
pieces and do my job.

That's good.

- Is it?
- Yeah, that's good.

Somewhere along the line, I changed.

Or maybe the job changed me.

I don't know when it happened,
but I'm not the person I was.

I understand that, but, you know,

we keep marching into this hell.

It's gonna have an impact on our life.

That's the price we pay.

And we've both convinced
ourselves it's worth it.

No choice in duty.

Is that what you think?

Yeah. That's what I think.

The hardest part now is...

... knowing that I...

I chose to become this person.

Hmm.

Looks like we got the five-star tour.

The hell?

Lot of tunnels have full-on
command centers in them.

Some built by the Soviets,

some financed by the CIA.

Yeah, our tax-paying dollars

are going to build
Jihad Johnny a Batcave.

No computers. Looks
more like a way station

than a command center.

What do we got?

Uh...

You know what?

If we're gonna get ambushed,
this is the place to do it.

Brock.

- Pull the dog.
- Roger.

Spenser?

You're the lucky one.

Work for me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up there, Frodo.

Our little outing is about to
come to a premature conclusion.

Spenser, what do you got?

Stay-behind.

Trip wire's running where
I can't see both ends.

- We need an EOD tech in here, man, otherwise...
- Boom.

Well, can we get around it?
We don't have time for this.

No. These walls are too tight.
We got to turn back.

All right, let's head topside,

let Havoc know we're heading back.

What, we're turning tail?

We have no idea how far
these tunnels go, Sonny.

That HVT could pop out three
hours or three days from now,

and I'm not risking it with
that stay-behind. We're going.

Okay, that little firecracker back there

ain't no reason for us to about-face.

All right? When I was in Texas,

I took a six-week,
court-ordered demo course.

You're telling me you
learned how to defuse

- a stay-behind like that back at Laughlin?
- Yeah.

Six weeks of demolition classes
doesn't make you an EOD tech.

Okay, well, the longer
we sit around here jawing,

the further away that
UPS guy's gonna get.

I say we let Sonny go
ahead and play Hurt Locker.

All we got to lose is him.

Yeah, unless this device blows
and caves in the whole place.

Well, I appreciate the
confidence there, Clay-mation.

Don't make this your funeral.

Roger that.

All right. MSD is around the
corner at the other tunnel.

Let's move.

If y'all don't hear from me
in two minutes, wait longer.

What in hell did you get
yourself into, Sonny Quinn?

All right.

Uh, yeah...

Uh-huh.

That right there is
just the anchor point.

All right.

Clear thoughts.

No pin.

Oh, a Mousetrap, okay.

All right.

We're good.

Hello, pretty.

You're gonna help me out today.

That's right.

Nice and steady, Sonny.

Nice and steady.

But wait, there's more.

Okay.

Goonies never say die.

Oh!

Oh...

Nice and steady. Nice and steady.

Oh, yeah.

Nice work, Sonny. Okay.

Other than my underwear,

we're all clear.

Copy that.

That stay-behind cost us some time.

We got to cut their lead,
so we can slow them down.

One way to do it for sure.

Yeah. We got the NODs, they don't.

Damn right.

We kill the lights, may as well
just announce that we're here.

Yeah, we ain't never gonna surprise them

if we can't catch them.

Metal, make it happen.

On it.

Contact front! Contact front!

What's this I hear, you
sending Bravo out without me?

That's correct, Master Chief.

I told you I'd be back in two
hours. Did you not hear that?

Yeah, well, time was of the essence.

We needed a tac team on
the target immediately.

What's the target?

A courier picked up
medication for, um, Al...

for Al-Hazred Jr. this afternoon.

Agency contractors tracked
him to a house near Surobi.

Okay, so they rolled in to get him.
They should be back by now.

- Target house had a tunnel.
- Had a tunnel?

You sent them in? They could
be walking right into an ambush.

Yeah, it's exactly what
you would have done, Jason.

Relax. You know your
team, they've got this.

- Push forward!
- Moving!

- Eyes on the HVT!
- Moving!

RPG, Sonny!

Everybody good?

- Yeah.
- We're good.

- Sonny?
- Yeah, I'm good.

All right, that's all of us.

By the time we're back topside,

that courier's gonna be long gone.

Havoc Base, this is Bravo 1.

Radio check, over.

Havoc Base, this is Bravo 1.
Radio check, over.

How many comms windows have they missed?

I gave them 60 minutes.

Unless we see a reason to cut
that short, they get all 60.

You have any idea how many times

I've had to trust you to find a way?

Havoc Base, radio check, over.

There goes our only lead on Al-Hazred.

- Yeah, way to bring down the house, Bravo None.
- You know what?

- Shut up!
- You just fumbled the ball.

- I've had as much as I can take from you. Shut up!
- Hey! Hey!

I got an idea.

I'm gonna need a boost.

Thirty, make yourself useful.

Three, two, one.

Havoc, this is Bravo 6. Do you copy?

Havoc, this is Bravo 6. You copy?

50 minutes of radio silence.
Do you know what?

Call the QRF. Tell them
I'm coming with them.

It's been 50 minutes.
They've got ten more.

Ten minutes, that means
nothing, you know that.

Havoc, this is Bravo 6. You copy?

That's good copy, Bravo 6.
Give me a sitrep?

Havoc, I'm gonna send you a signal here.

Copy, Bravo 6. ISR is
searching for your signal.

There.

I've got your position
at three and a half klicks

north of the target building.

Track vehicles 270 degrees
from this position.

We're tracking 270 degrees.

Negative. Nothing but mountains.

We let another one get
away. That's it, right?

Stand by.

This mountain's got an overhang.
It's shielding the road. Look.

Bravo 6, this is Havoc Base.

We just picked up two vehicles
traveling north from your pos.

Hey. They got eyes on the courier.

Yes.

The boys pulled it off. Got the courier.

Damn straight they pulled it off.

I was expecting
a Challenger-level disaster.

Still can't believe Quinn pulled it off.

Yeah, with a mirror and a
damn toothpick nonetheless.

Shapow.

That must've been one hell
of a demo course, Sonny.

Hey, I wasn't the one dangling 80 feet

in the air without a net.

Mr. Cirque du Soleil over here,

he saved the op, didn't he?

Damn straight he did.

Top cheddar.

All right, man. Good work, boys.

Sorry I missed all the fun.

I mean, it wasn't
exactly mission success.

Goal was to roll him up, right?

Don't worry about it, you
know? ISR's tracking him.

He'll lead us right to
where Al-Hazred is hiding.

Let's hope it pays
off with a target soon.

Yeah.

I will drink to that.

Shapow.

Hey.

You handled your business today.

Kept us locked in.

Nothing to say about my
more kinder, gentler side?

Well, Prime-Time Perry would have been

so jacked up for action,

that tunnel would have become our tomb.

Nice work, brother.

All right, let's bring it together.

Come on, let's go. Ready?

- Yep!
- All right. Here's to guns that shoot straight...

... chutes that inflate,
and ops that go great!

Davis.

Sonny.

I just wanted to

to come by and let you know that

you're the reason we got
a line on our target.

Maybe. Courier's still traveling.

Either way, it was a team effort.

Yeah, that might all be true.

But, uh, we couldn't
have done it without you.

Yeah, it seems like you've really
found your footing here.

Oh, sorry, I didn't...

I didn't realize that
you were still working.

Oh...

No, it's fine.

Sonny Quinn.

Hey. Reiss Julian.

Oh. I was just telling
Ensign Davis here thank you

for, uh, saving our bacon.

Yeah, yeah. Lisa has, uh,

told me that you guys worked
together for a long time.

Yeah. Yeah. That is true.

And, uh, I really appreciate her, and...

well, the whole team does.

So do I.

Uh, we were just about
to get something to eat,

if you care to join us.

Um... Yeah, I,

uh, I really appreciate that. I-I do.

But, uh, I have...

uh, I got things I should do.

Ensign.

Quinn.

- Shall we?
- We shall.

After you.

So you, uh...

you learned how to
disassemble that stay-behind

when you were back in Texas, huh?

Are you saying I didn't?

I'm saying I've been your wing man

long enough to know
when you're full of it.

Okay, well, I could have learned
how to do it in Armory school.

- How 'bout that?
- Mm-hm.

- You took a risk for the team.
- Yeah.

- A big one.
- That's what Team guys do, ain't it?

Help each other out.

I thought you said Bravo wasn't worth

- standing up for anymore.
- Well...

one thing I learned in Texas was

family might disagree, but in the end,

it is everything.

We good?

Good.

You know, this is, um...

is gonna be my last
deployment with Bravo.

- I'm going STA-21.
- Oh.

Congratulations.

I'm gonna miss the
hell out of you. I am.

I ain't gonna cry, but I'm
gonna miss the hell out of you.

And I tell you what. You and I...

we gonna get drunk before you leave.

Oh.

I honestly didn't think you
were gonna take it this well.

You know...

seeing my dad again, it
made me realize that...

people get called to
different things in life.

And for me, Sonny Quinn...

I'm a knuckle-dragging door-kicker.

That is my destiny. Amen.

But if you're being
called to something else,

got to be true to who you are.

I mean, brother,

if there was any way
we could have held off

until you got back, we would have.

Yeah? Well, I'll tell you,

part of it was my fault
for going AWOL with Mandy.

You know, team was in good hands.

You brought 'em home safe.
That's what matters.

With Jameelah's "do not die"
order ringing in my damn ear,

there was no other way
it was gonna happen.

You know, Ray,

you know, I never told you,
but you know, I really admire

the way you balance your operating life

with your family life.

- Thanks, brother.
- Yeah.

- I mean, it's not easy.
- No.

And being around Thirty...

you know, remembering
the Al-Hazred raid, and

taking me back to that time when I
didn't have that balance... it...

just all reminds me how hard
I got to work to maintain it.

Yeah, well, you know what?

That's what makes you a rare breed.

I should be telling your ass I
don't know how you do it.

- Hmm.
- Oh.

J, I had to make a call
today with Sonny that,

if it had went wrong, it...

it would have haunted me
for the rest of my life.

And if I had to make a
call like that tomorrow,

and then another one
like that the next day,

I'm pretty sure I'd lose sight
of what was really important.

What are you saying?

I lied to my daughter, J.

That was the first time I've
taken a shortcut with my family.

And I swear it'll be my last.

Man, I thought I was
protecting her, but...

if I hide who I am and
what I do from my family,

what kind of father does that make me?

I just...

I'm starting to realize
that one of the reasons

I've chose warrant officer
instead of running my own team

is because I've seen the
high cost of being Bravo 1.

I've seen the sacrifices
you've made for this team.

Brother, it's taken a lot
of years, but I realized

I'm just not capable of being all-in

with the team the way you are.

I mean, I love the team.

It's... it's a big part of me,

but so is my family,

and I will not lose that balance.

Tomorrow, I'm gonna be happy as hell

when you come back
and take over Bravo 1.

You okay?

I'm good.
