have taught me anything, it's that nothing is permanent.
Yeah, I don't buy that.

We're in Afghanistan. It's still a war zone.
Somebody is just waiting
to take advantage of us leaving.
They call themselves Tahara.
War needs men like us.
Men like us need war.
He's the leader of the Tahara network.
Name is Azfaar Al-Hazred.
Related to Asim Al-Hazred.
You taking out Al-Hazred... It changed history.
You gonna say it didn't change you?
You're gonna help make this place safer.
Tell my wife and son.
Your dad was a hero.
You are the reason my husband is dead!
This dog...
Is a warrior.
You gotta know the signs.
- Signs? What you talking... - It's on me to
know when he's had enough.
We keep marching into this hell,
it's gonna have an impact on our life.
And we've both
convinced ourselves it's worth it.
Our team needs its leader.

*SEAL TEAM*
Season 04 Episode 01 & 02
Episode Title: "God of War & "Forever War""
- Hey, hey! - What's up, boys?
What's up, man?
Good, good.
What's up, bud? Good to see you, man.
Let's get together, fellas!
Let's bring it in.
All right.
First off, I would like to thank Romeo Team,
Echo Team... These guys ripped in here
from Syria, Guam on a moment's notice.
I can't thank you enough for being here.
I know you're tired,
but I assure you this will be worth your haul.
Ensign Davis has a good one for us.
Operation Aries.
The target is Azfaar Al-Hazred,
the leader of the Tahara network.
Bravo Team located one
of Al-Hazred's couriers a few weeks ago
and we tracked his movements
into the Spin Ghar mountain region.
Junior ain't exactly hiding in plain sight like his pops.
The courier's pattern of life indicates
that the Tahara stronghold is likely
in one of three possible locations.
All are in a section walled in by Afghanistan's highest peaks,
so it's like a punchbowl.
High altitude, rough terrain, it's practically impenetrable.
That's before anybody starts shooting at us.
What kind of protection does he have up there?
Using the name his dad made famous,
Al-Hazred had built a loyal following
of well-trained, well-armed fighters.
Hundreds of true believers
who are willing to lay their lives down for him.
The actions on consist of two phases... first,
Bravo, Romeo and Echo,
will infil to one of the suspected Tahara camp locations.
Team that locates the camp will set up an OP
and wait for the other two teams to arrive.
From there, you will launch a coordinated assault.
So why don't we bomb these locations, soften 'em up first?
Ah, they're just gonna hit their tunnels
underground, wait for the fireworks to be over.
Then disappear before we arrive.
Seen that movie way too many times.
All right, look, they definitely have the advantage,
so what do we have for overwatch,
level the playing field?
Well, thanks to our limited assets in the region,
we have an AC-130 on station for the infil.
So one bird and three teams
spread out all over devil's mountain?
Drawdown strikes again.
Al-Hazred's influence
and reach are spreading.
We need to strike while we still have him in our crosshairs.
Look,
With the drawdown concluding,
this could very well be our last major action in Afghanistan.
Consider this your glorious goodbye.
Let's make the most of it.
Hey.
Thought I'd check in with you before you roll out.
Haven't seen you around much lately.
Yeah, you know, keeping the boys focused up.
Wasn't like I was avoiding you or anything like that.
I wasn't suggesting you were.
What happens in J-Bad stays in J-Bad.
What happens in J-Bad stays in J-Bad...
That's good to know, Mandy.
We needed a distraction.
It's been a bumpy deployment for both of us.
Hasn't been a bumpy deployment for me. I'm good.
Just another deployment.
I'm sorry. So, just one second.
Are you telling me that hunting the son of the man you killed
over a decade ago... that... that doesn't faze you at all?
You know...
It's just another op.
The tip of the spear goes where it's pointed.
I've seen enough to know this isn't just another op.
Come home safe.
- Hey. - Yo.
Prime Time, hit me up. There it is.
RAY What's the word, Hayes?
- We rolling out or what? I'm bored. - Yeah, the op's tonight, right?
My trigger finger's getting all tingly.
Nobody tells Bravo 3 anything. I don't know.
We got the most wanted man in the world in our crosshairs,
and the cake eaters getting cold feet.
Al-Hazred has got no clue Prime Time Perry's coming
to schwack his ass.
No way a meat-stick like you is gonna be the one
who brings that Ace of Spades down hard, Ray.
- Huh-uh. - Damn straight, Cujo.
I'll tell you what. A newbie like him... there's no way
he's bagging a big game trophy like that.
- Well, I might be the newest... - Yeah?
- ...but I'm also the baddest. - Oh.
- Hmm? - That's right.
There's a lot of talk coming from these two. I ain't seen
- any results, have you? - Mad shade coming
From Ward Cleaver over here. Haven't you...?
- Ward Cleaver? - Yes, Ward Cleaver.
- Oh. - Haven't you been shacked up
with the same broad since high school?
Hey, it's tough to get results when you're tucked
in bed by 10:00 every night.
- Oh, boom, boom. Psh. Good one. - That's a fact.
- You're doing it right, Jason - That's right.
Rolling out on the biggest spec op in history, then headed home
in time for Alana to give birth to your baby boy.
Damn straight. Just hope the brass comes down quickly,
you know, 'cause I got to get back in two days,
or Alana's gonna kill me. I tell you that.
Leaving his brothers to get elbow deep
- in diapers and butt paste. - Wow.
Hayes, you need to get your priorities in check, brother.
- Is that right? You know what? - Yeah.
Someday you're gonna realize that
chasing action on and off the field...
That's... yeah, that's not what life's all about.
Should vote your ass out the pipehitter's union
for saying that.
Yeah, don't make me pin your ass again,
- Thirty. - Oh, okay.
Whoa. Won!
Knock it off! Need you all to get front-sight focused.
We good to go, boss?
We're a go.
- We're a go, man. - Meet at the TOC
- In 30! - That's right, big time.
This is the big one, brother.
How about you take a seat and learn from the best?
Hey, Jace? Jace?
Hey, Jace?
You good?
Yeah, no. I'm just, uh...
I'm getting front-sight focused. That's all.
We were just saying that if we take out Junior,
you'll have bookended Al-Hazred's reign of terror.
Yeah, that's one you got to tell the grandkids.
Yeah, more like a story they'll be making movies about.
Someone's gonna pay a ton of dough
if we play this right, Hayes.
- Could be set up for life after operating. - All right,
Thirty, why don't you just stay in your three-foot world?
Once you step out,
people get hurt.
Well, that was some Knute Rockne-level
pep talk.
Hey.
Has Jason been acting like somebody pee-peed
on his carpet all deployment?
Ever since we found out about Al-Hazred Jr.
Yeah, when you're hunting the son of a man
that you killed years ago, that'd mess with my head, too.
It's deeper than that.
You know, drawdown, plus making peace
with an enemy he's been fighting for 20 years?
Got to make him question if all the sacrifice that he's made
has been worth it.
Maybe he's just feeling let down by his teammates,
when he puts it all on the line for them.
What in the hell you stirring up
now, Thirty?
Clay's going to STA-21.
That's a rejection of everything Jason dedicated his life to.
Same for Ray choosing warrant officer
over becoming Bravo 1 someday.
The team's evolving.
Can't hold that against us.
Yeah, what about this Marsden letter business?
Someone on Bravo playing Woodward and Bernstein?
Trying to make it seem like he lost control of his team?
Dude puts it on the line
for all of you guys, and this is the thanks he gets?
None of it's personal.
Yeah.
When the team's all you got,
it has to be.
No, I asked, why are you so pretty at work?
No. Yes.
Should know better than to try
to slip anything past you, can I, baby?
Nah, we're gonna be offline for a few days.
Just come home safe.
That's all that matters to anyone in this house.
People in that house is what matters to me the most.
How's Jameelah doing?
Counting the days until Daddy gets home
and delivers on his promise.
Ugh. I will not be taking the easy way out with her
ever again, I promise you that.
I know. But for now, just focus on you.
I-I've got it all covered here.
When all I...
My focus was just on me?
It's just... it's just hard to believe it's been 13 years
since I crawled into that emergency room.
You missing those wild days?
No. No, no, absolutely not.
I was so lost back then, baby.
Oh, you made me the man I am today.
Never gonna lose sight of that.
Makes me nervous when you get all sentimental like this.
No, don't be worried.
I'm just saying, I cannot wait for this deployment to end
so I can get back home and kiss you and those babies.
So, Emma threw all of her dols out the window?
She's not even... He's not
even born, and she's already competing with him.
You tell that little bundle of joy in that tummy,
do not come out for two days, 'cause in two days,
I will be on a plane.
Family is the priority. Always comes first, all right?
All right. I love you.
J. J.
Want to use this, brother? Sure you don't want to Skype?
Lots to... Lots of words to say before an op like this.
No, I-I got no time for that, Ray.
No time.
Hey, you sure you good, brother?
Seem a little spooked.
Yeah, I'm good.
I'm all right.
Oh! Nice of you to join us on this one, Hayes.
Guess Mandy doesn't need a chauffeur today.
Yo! Just realized this is the first time
we got the whole team back together, rolling out, in months.
Lot of moving parts on this one.
Maybe we should've eased back into things
and gotten our groove back
before reenacting Tet Offensive.
You know, I can't think of a better mission
for us to have our reunion tour on
because Bravo always gets the big ops.
Pa-hew!
Hey!
Flip the switch.
Focus up.
Just like Jace. Got to make sure you good.
Right?
Yeah, yeah. Hey, yo, Jace!
Hey!
You think we'll go to the, uh, White House after this?
- What? - Yeah!
You know, you know the president's
gonna want to spike the football
- after we put Al-Hazred on ice. - Hey, yo, I got dibs
on the Lincoln Bedroom.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hey, hey, hey, guys, Secret Service
is not gonna be letting you creeps in.
Oh, mock all you want, Hayes, but I know
you're hoping your son comes out just as pretty
- and as dangerous as his Uncle Ray. - Is that right?
- That's right. Yes. - 'Cause you are a role model, Prime Time.
- Role model, baby. That's me! - Role model.
I can see that. You like an enigma.
Hey, your second kid's a game changer, Jace.
Twice the kids,
- ten times the headache. - Tell you what.
Alana and I, we want a big family.
I think at least four kids.
- Four. Four. - You better get to work, then.
- Four, baby! - I'm gonna get to work.
All right, we got to get the brass to get us out of here,
- 'cause Alana's gonna kill me if I don't get home. - Hayes.
I know you're excited to get home,
but I need your head here.
Three-foot world.
Yeah. Roger that, Guz.
Teammates look up to you.
They see you doing it right, they'll do it right.
Yeah, right. What, I can't think about home?
I'm saying when we're outside the wire,
home is where you hang your helmet.
You're no good to me on target
if your mind is back in Vah Beach.
Someone needs decaf.
He went like this...
Hey!
You were a little hard on the boys back there, huh?
Try to focus them up. That's all, Ray.
Come on, Jace.
This is the biggest op of most of their careers.
I mean, we were
pretty jacked up when we went after Al-Hazred's daddy.
Move, move, move! Let's go.
Come on, get on. Get on.
Seems like that was the op that changed everything!
Negative, Ray!
Ops don't change anything!
All right. Cache the vehicles.
We're on foot the rest of the way.
Be sure to stay hydrated, guys.
14,000 feet, altitude sickness is no joke.
Looks like the Russians passed through here in the '80s.
Yeah. Now we're here.
Wars exist in this region for hundreds of years.
- Transmitting? - Yeah, sending our coordinates.
Havoc,
this is 1. Transmitting at rally point.
Copy that, Bravo 1.
Be advised, troops in contact. Romeo has just engaged.
Copy that. Okay, you heard it, boys.
Romeo's engaged in the fight.
- Get our heads in the game, got it? - Looks like
They pulled Willy Wonka's golden ticket.
They found Al-Hazred's camp?
Not yet, Thirty.
You still have time for glory.
That is, if you can make it up that mountain.
Let's lead out.
Bravo cached the vehicles.
- They're now on foot. - Copy.
All teams have made their windows,
except there is one issue.
AC-130 wants to leave station
- to refuel. - Negative.
Hammer 1 needs to stay on station.
My boys kicked the hornet's nest on that TIC.
Yeah. Running into the Tahara patrol was unfortunate.
Cost us the element of surprise.
That contact may draw more enemy onto my team's position.
With only one bird in the sky, all the more reason
to keep the AC-130 over my team.
Ensign Davis,
have the AC-130 stay on station as long as they can.
Yes, sir.
We're on course.
Bravo 1, this is Havoc. Be advised,
Hammer 1 is softening an overwatch position for Romeo,
then pulling off the station.
That's good copy.
Bravo 1 out.
Your pooch looks skittish.
Ah, he's fine, bro.
AC-130
is doing a CAS run for Romeo.
Then they're going off station to refuel. Got it?
- Copy. - No overwatch.
Hanging out in daylight.
What could possibly go wrong?
Hey, Thirty, bitching is my thing.
Stay in your damn lane.
Get a sign and go low.
Jackpot.
Looks like we might get first crack at Al-Hazred after all.
Ain't that a sight?
Looks like jihad Coachella down there.
More like Allah-Palooza.
What the hell I just tell you about staying in your lane?
Want me to set up a mission support site, boss?
Yeah, you set MSS.
I'll set up the O.P. up here with Clay and Sonny.
Take the boys, get to work. Got it?
Copy that.
I just heard from Bravo Team.
- They've located the compound. - Congrats, Ensign Davis.
The noose around Al-Hazred is tightening.
I'm gonna send Bravo's pos to both Echo and Romeo Teams'
ATAK systems.
How far are they out from Bravo?
That Tahara team they engaged with slowed them down.
I put 'em at least a two-hour hike away.
Same for Echo Team.
All right, have 'em make their way to Bravo.
- Where we at with CAS? - They're still an hour out. Same for ISR.
That's a long time for nobody watching anyone's six out there.
By the time these other teams get here,
Junior might have slipped away.
Crocodile Blondie might be right.
Romeo rang the bell with that gunfight earlier,
so them dirtbags know we're up here roaming around for sure.
If we kick this off alone, we'll be outgunned
with no overwatch.
I don't intend to lose any men on this mountain.
We wait.
Your call, Jace. You know the deal.
We'll follow you to hell.
It's too quiet, man.
I hate the waiting around part.
So take a nap.
It'll be good to give that mouth of yours a rest.
Not a chance.
Thirty talks trash even in his sleep.
Hold up, I got movement.
What? I don't see anything.
No, no, no. On thermal.
Dozens of heat signatures. Something's about to kick off.
We got nothing to shoot at.
And bare bones for cover.
Ray, what's the call?
Bravo 1, this is Bravo 2. I pass Hard Lightning.
Collapse back to the MSS.
Say again, Bravo 1...
- ...we're in contact. - Hard Lightning. Ditch it all.
- Leave it? - Ditch it.
Leave it. Leave it!
Mortars!
- You good? - Yeah.
Let's go. Move.
Let's go, let's go. Now, now, now.
Lay down cover fire for the O.P.s, they're moving in.
Cerberus, get back here!
Brock, where you going?
They're dialing in our location.
Go save Brock! Get Brock!
Full Metal, on me!
Thirty, on me!
Hey! Got you, Jace!
Let's go.
Go, go, go!
Cover me.
4, what's your status?
Bravo 5 is good.
Bravo 1, this is 2. We need to get off the X.
- We got to fall back. - Negative.
Not till we have a full headcount.
Hey.
Stay. Stay.
Cerberus.
To the left! Back, I'll cover you!
To the left, to the left!
They're flanking us.
Where's Jace?
We lost him.
What do you mean you lost him?
He got blown off the mountain.
Then we got to go off the mountain to get him.
We got over 20 fighters moving on us from that tree line.
We'll be fish in a barrel if we get exposed in that ravine.
There's no chance we're leaving without Jace.
They're boxing us in, Perry. What's the call?
Jace would move heaven and earth to get any one of us,
and you know that better than anyone, Ray.
We're gonna bound back to the rally point.
I ain't leavin' without him.
We don't know what condition he's in.
That's my brother down there, too. All right?
But Jason would want us to win the fight first.
And that's what the hell we're gonna do. Let's go!
Look, I don't like it, either, but he's right. Move.
Let's go! Let's go!
Echo Team has been notified of Bravo's situation.
All right, Ray passed along Jason's last known location.
Jason's helmet is off,
so we don't have a strobe to track him.
But we'll have eyes overhead
as soon as the ISR is back on station.
Romeo 1, this is Havoc Base.
Be advised, Bravo is troops in contact.
Request you hasten your patrol to their pos.
Copy all, Havoc. Moving as fast as we can.
They're just gonna leave Jason there?
He could be in bad shape.
Well, I'm sure it wasn't a call made lightly.
It's the same call I'd have made, too.
Ray loses the high ground,
he loses the fight.
This is not good.
Trip wire.
Almost ended the op before it started, Hayes.
You good?
I'm good!
Al-Hazred.
That's him.
You just smoke-checked Moby Dick, Hayes.
Ares Base, this is Bravo 1.
I pass jackpot.
Jackpot is KIA.
Hey.
I'm sorry.
Bravo 1, this is 6.
Bravo 2 is down. I say again, Bravo 2 is down.
Let's roll.
Bravo 1, this is 2.
What's your status? I say again, what's your status?
Bravo 1, this is Bravo 2.
What's your status? I say again, what's your status?
I'm good. I lost most of my gear.
I lost most of my gear, but I'm good.
Damn good to hear your voice, brother. Damn good.
Is Cerberus with you?
Yeah, he is.
Copy that. Bravo's en route
to rally point one.
Head south, stay out of the ravine
and we'll draw the enemy to us.
All right, copy.
I'm on line-of-sight comms.
I hit the ravine, I'll be off the grid.
Copy that. Bravo 2 out.
Jason took a million dollar fall.
Starting to think he really is Captain America.
Well, even Captain America wouldn't last with no comms,
and no overwatch.
Tahara bull's-eye's on us now.
Jason's safer than we are.
Until some Hajji posse surrounds him.
I guarantee you they saw him go over into the ravine.
Contact rear!
Come on.
AC-130's back on station.
Finally get eyes on Bravo.
ISR's coming up.
All right, we need to get a nine-line from Ray.
That doesn't look good.
Drop the gun.
Drop it.
Hey. Cerberus.
Hey.
All right.
Hey. You're okay. All right.
All right. We need to get you out of here.
Come on. I got you.
Okay. With me.
Thanks for having my six, buddy.
I got you.
Yeah. Okay. Okay.
Okay.
Hey.
You all right?
Okay.
It's okay. This is not how you're gonna go.
It's not how you're gonna go.
Lost a lot of blood, man.
Hang in there, Cujo.
Hang in there, brother.
Ares Base, this is Bravo 1.
Requesting immediate medivac.
Come on, stay with me, Cujo.
Stay with me. Stay with me.
I'm gonna get you out of here.
All right?
You're good.
I'm gonna get you out of here.
Okay. I know.
I know. I know.
It's okay.
Gonna get you out of here.
Here we go. Come on.
Go, go, go!
ACE count, where we at on ammo?!
We're good, but the amount of guys coming,
that's gonna change!
Jace should've been here by now.
Bravo 2, this is Havoc.
Hammer 1 is standing by for your approval to engage.
How copy?
Havoc Base, this is Bravo 2.
The ridgeline, one klick out, 60 degrees our position.
Hammer 1 is cleared hot.
Roger that.
All right, that's it. Call 'em up. Let's go.
Hey. We're almost home.
Hey.
Cujo's gonna be okay, man.
He's-he's the toughest frogman I know.
This is what I've been telling you.
Put your mind anywhere but downrange and people get hurt!
You can't be half a gangster, Hayes.
All right.
I got you.
All right.
The ravine. I've got Cerberus' beacon.
Jason must've activated it.
Why aren't they moving?
Bravo 2, this is Havoc.
Believe we have Bravo 1's location.
He's 500 yards east of your pos.
Havoc Base, this is Bravo 2.
Have CAS start making gun runs, but make damn sure
you stay away from Bravo 1's strobe and ours.
How copy?
That's a good copy, Bravo 2.
Good.
Gun runs are only gonna call the heat off us.
Jason's not gonna be safe, man. We just gonna sit here?
Bravo 1, Havoc, radio check.
Havoc, this is 1. Say your last.
Havoc... Havoc, this is 1. Say your last.
Come on.
Come here. I got you.
All right.
Only one way to go, that's up.
Not giving up. Come on.
I got this. Come on.
Bravo 2, be advised, Bravo 1 has over a dozen fighters
headed towards his location.
Danger close. How copy?
Bravo 2 copies all. That ATAK give away Jason's position?
His beacon is pinging. We're at least five mikes out.
We ain't gonna make it in time.
We gotta try.
Let's go.
It's all right, Cerberus.
Yeah...
We're gonna be good. Okay?
Lay down. Lay down.
All right? Lay down.
Lay down. Stay here.
I should have seen the wire.
Then what?
You'd be in that casket instead of Cujo?
You know, if I was just a little bit quicker...
Maybe we go through the door, all three of us get put down.
Yeah, but on the tarmac you just said...
I was angry. It wasn't your fault.
It was war. No logic to it.
You know, I've lost teammates before, but...
this one...
I just feel like I could have done more for Cujo.
Buried eight operators in the six years of this war.
Eight men.
As their team leader, I feel like I let
every single one of them down.
That guilt and pain,
I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
But... accepting that responsibility
is how I get better.
Good isn't good enough for my teammates.
There's no greater honor than leading this team.
And for me, my mission and my men
have to always come first.
Can't be half a gangster.
You're spinning up already?
Intel off Al-Hazred's hard drive bore fruit.
Give Alana a hug for me.
This job isn't for everyone, Hayes.
Seen my share of operators who serve their time and move on.
I respect those people.
But after the losses I've endured...
...that can't be me.
It isn't fair to those who love me back home,
but I gotta be all in with this team...
or more of our brothers will die.
Stay here.
It's not over yet, buddy. Come on.
Come on. Come here, come on.
Come on.
Wait. Wait.
All right.
All in all the time.
Let's roll.
You miss your flight?
I'm not letting Bravo go into the fire alone.
I sure hope you had that helmet on
when you broke the news to Alana.
I can't think about that right now, all right?
I'll call her when we're back.
Focus up.
That is not good, buddy.
Shh.
I got... Shh. I got this.
Shh.
Freeze!
A weed eater for the weeds.
Break time's over, boss dog.
Havoc, this is Bravo 2.
Bravo 1 is secure. Requesting coordinates
to Romeo Team's perimeter.
That's good copy, Bravo 2.
Lieutenant Commander Tathom went to pick up
- Brock and Cerberus at the airfield. - Copy.
Romeo Team's at the rally point waiting for Bravo
before they move on Al-Hazred's camp.
Send Romeo's coordinates to Bravo Team's ATAKs.
All right, sitrep on CAS.
AC-130's back on target running a CAS wheel.
A-10s are standing by.
The hills are teeming with enemy moving down on Bravo's position.
Our boys aren't out of this yet.
Bravo 2, this is Havoc.
Coordinates for Romeo Team's perimeter sent.
Copy, Havoc. Coordinates received.
It's a knife wound.
I tried to stabilize it, but he's gonna need help.
Thanks, J.
It's good to see your face, brother.
Yeah. If it wasn't for you guys, I'd be horizontal by now.
Bravo, be advised, you have multiple groups
of enemy fighters converging on your position.
What's the call, Jace?
Ray? On you.
All right, boys, let's saddle up.
It's time to make it rain.
Prime Time Perry's back.
Havoc, this is 2. How we looking on CAS?
Yeah, it's on target now, but Bravo needs to get off the X.
Copy, Havoc.
We're marking our position with strobes.
En route to Romeo's position.
CAS is cleared hot to drop.
Bravo 2, say again your last?
CAS is cleared hot to drop as we move.
That fire's gonna come down practically on top of them.
Romeo 1, this is Bravo 2.
Nearing your perimeter. How copy?
I say again,
Romeo 1, this is Bravo entering your perimeter.
How copy?
Copy, Bravo 2. We have visual.
Good copy.
Hell of an entrance.
What's the word on Al-Hazred?
He's still in the camp.
Echo Team's got eyes on.
We're set to assault soon as y'all regroup.
Check.
How you feeling, Jace?
You up for going back to the future?
Never out of the fight.
All right, Echo is set up on the ridge
on target above overwatch.
Yeah, CASEVAC's 20 mikes out.
Romeo Team's got the coordinates.
Bravo 2, this is Havoc.
Echo Team is set.
CASEVAC is en route for Cerberus.
That's a good copy, Havoc. Jace.
Yeah?
It's time.
It's go time. Let's go.
- Give me your gun. - Yeah.
Fresh mag in it.
Mag...
Get him to medivac. Got it?
- Roger. - Hey.
It'll be good. You're gonna be good.
- What are we looking at? - We're here one klick south of the camp.
Havoc's reporting 20, maybe 30 fighters.
All right, look, I want two snipers up-front
- in case we come across sentries. - Copy that.
- Any questions? - Yeah, I got one for you, Jace.
What's that?
How in the hell are you even standing?
Havoc, this is 1. I'm passing yellow tail.
Bravo 6, take the shot.
Romeo 5, take the PKM.
I got the other two.
Copy, Bravo 6.
Locking on target.
Three, two, one.
Echo 1, Romeo 1.
This is 1. Light 'em up.
Stand by to move on me.
That technical's gonna slow Bravo and Romeo's advance.
Squirters moving off target.
Usually the top of the food chain
who runs first.
Bravo 1, this is Havoc.
Eyes on six tangos
pushing towards the mouth of the cave near your pos.
How copy?
That's good copy, Havoc.
- What's the word, boss? - Al-Hazred Jr.'s getting away.
Men shouting in Pashto...
We have to call an audible.
Romeo 1, this is Bravo 1.
You and Echo clear the target, we'll chase the squirters.
Bravo, move on me. Let's go.
That cave network honeycombs two valleys.
Could spit Al-Hazred out to the east or to the west,
and we won't have eyes in both areas.
Yeah, then Bravo's gonna have to move fast if that is Al-Hazred.
Not too fast. Cave's lined with booby traps.
Wrong move makes that tunnel their tomb.
The squirters popped into the cave.
Havoc, this is 1. Headed to the cave complexes.
Stand by for comms issues.
I wish Cerberus was here
to sniff out some explosives.
Well, you know what? He's got bigger issues to deal with.
Let's go.
NODs down. Let's roll.
Not him.
No?
Bravo 1, this is 3.
This side's clear. We hit a dead end.
Copy, 3. Set security.
Speaking Pashto...
It's Al-Hazred.
Need a call, Jace.
Million dollar bullet just waiting to be shot, Hayes.
We'll take him alive. Cuff him.
Copy that.
No! No!
Let the record show, I put the first bullet in him.
Let the record also show that Ray just saved you
from killing us all on that pressure plate.
Yeah.
Al-Hazred had every chance to walk away from this.
He made his choice to go down hard.
Welcome back, gentlemen.
Well done.
Word came down we're headed home Friday.
Leaves you three days to hold your heads high around here.
You know something, Ray, you were right.
About what?
You know that op we had 13 years ago?
Yeah, that...
that did change things for us.
What do you...
Watched the White Sox win the series in that tent.
Nothing's sacred.
Whole place will be scrapped in a month.
- You'll be out of business. - I'll be reassigned.
Address will change. Job never does.
You ever wish you had a job where at the end of it,
there was a sign that, I don't know, said that
you were done, that it was over?
What would that look like?
My Flyers, when they win the Stanley Cup,
they go down Broad Street and they have a parade.
It's a victory... you see it.
Unfortunately for us, the war on terror
doesn't have a goal line to cross.
But you know, you don't strike me as the type
who needs to spike the football.
Just be nice to know that it was worth the cost.
40 fallen brothers, a broken marriage,
broken body...
- broken head. - You told me,
Last time we spoke, you know you've made an impact
that will last forever here.
The only thing that's gonna last forever is this war.
I'll-I'll see you around.
You know, I-I think you're wrong about them
just scrapping it all.
Somebody's gonna sort through it.
You know, ask the questions that we all should ask.
I don't understand What do you mean?
End of the day...
what do you take away from here?
What can you pull from the rubble...
...to be cherished?
What do you need to leave behind?
And what can you pass on to someone else?
The old man had better taste in guns than Junior, huh?
Doesn't feel right leaving a relic like that.
You want to take it?
Not one for trophies.
Especially from that op, but...
Here.
That's for you.
I don't need a trophy, either.
Well, then call it a reminder.
What you did here, who you were...
what you meant to this team.
Just following your lead.
No, you're not.
And maybe that's a good thing, huh?
Come on, pack it up, we're rolling out.
You okay?
Yeah, just...
you know...
going over it all in my head.
What I did right.
What I didn't.
Well, I think the rights win by a landslide.
Longer I stay in, it's the losses that stick with me.
Then why did you fight so hard to get
your job back after they sidelined you?
Uh, maybe I'm a glutton for punishment.
I'm sorry about Samim.
I should've known to trust your instincts.
So we're good?
We're good.
I honestly don't know how I would've made it through
any of this without you.
My instincts tell me you can handle this job
just fine on your own.
I'm gonna get a beer.
- You want anything? - No, thank you.
Just in case anybody didn't say it...
you know, you, uh,
taking down Al-Hazred Jr., you know,
that is your victory.
It was a team effort.
Oh, no, no, no, no. Mandy told me.
Yeah, you spotted the bogeyman first,
and then had to drag everybody kicking and screaming.
Maybe a little bit.
Look at you, man, gone from second-guessing yourself
chasing a bomb maker
to bagging the biggest whale in the sea.
And it came at a price.
A price worth paying.
I'll tell you what, Davis, uh,
I was a real ass about you wanting to, uh,
you know, focus on your work and stuff.
You were right. I was wrong.
Thank you, Sonny.
And, look, uh, I'm not sure if this still really
means anything or anything, but, uh...
I'm sure as hell proud of you.
All right, listen up, everyone.
We're losing Ray for two months while he's off
at the Chief Warrant Officer Academy.
Oh, look at that!
They approved my package?
- You're in. - Ah, look at that, here you go.
- Chief Warrant Officer Perry. - Hey, buddy. Oh, man.
He's looking good.
- Look at that. - Almost slipped away a couple times.
Never in doubt.
You told me you'd get me home and you did.
Them stripes gonna look good on you, Ray.
What are you doing?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Timeout, timeout... who is, who is this kinder, gentler Sonny
and where'd the guy go who was throwing cake at me?
Slow your roll there, Blond Ambition.
Truth is I had some wrong-headed ideas
about what the brotherhood was.
Turns out that fighting together makes us brothers,
but it doesn't keep us together as brothers.
That bond does, no matter where we go
or what we do.
- Amen to that. - That's it. Amen to that, cheers.
And it's a damn good thing, too, 'cause, uh,
you know, with you making warrant officer and with
Clay heading to STA-21,
this deployment was the last stand of the Bravo Team.
Yeah.
Love you guys.
- Love you back. Brothers. - Cheers.
Whoa, you're gonna have to get used to packing
where you're going, there, Justin Bieber.
Or not... gonna need a whole new wardrobe.
Maybe you and Ray can get a discount
code on a fruit salad.
Sonny, I hope you get some new material by the time
I get back from Chief Warrant Officer Academy.
I got dibs on Clay's IR laser.
This battle belt's mine.
Have at it.
- Hey, Jace? - Yeah?
I'm thinking the Ozarks
for this, uh, training trip cycle.
Arkansas Alps, they'd do us right.
Yeah, that's some next-level thinking there, Sonny.
Uh, you know, I'm just, uh,
I'm just trying to step up with, you know, Ray
not gonna be around as much and
ol' peaches over there is gonna be gone.
Sonny Quinn in a leadership position.
What could possibly go wrong?
Clay, uh, you might have to stick around to see that.
Might not be much to see.
Listen, I was just talking to Blackburn
and he was telling me
that NCIS is on a witch hunt
to find out who wrote that letter
- to Ambassador Marsden's husband. - What?
They're coming after us for... for a mistake
- the State Department made? - DoD needs a scalp.
They're convinced that the letter came
from someone inside
- this team. - Come on, we haven't even been back
For five minutes and we're already under attack?
Egg on the state's face
isn't worth dinging one of our careers over.
Far as I'm concerned, nobody here wrote that letter.
Easiest way to keep it straight
when they start asking us questions. Got it?
Let's go.
Daddy!
Hey, baby girl!
Daddy missed you so much.
I missed you, too.
I can't wait to show you my canopy bed upstairs.
- Yeah? - Give him a second to catch his breath, honey.
Now how you gonna say that and then take my breath away?
Hey, you know who else missed you?
- Teena! - Yeah.
Did she do a good job?
Oh, she did a great job, sweetheart.
Worst thing I got was this tiny little scratch.
Did it hurt?
Nothing Daddy couldn't handle.
Go play.
You sure showing her a scar
is the best thing for her anxiety?
I'm not hiding the truth from my family ever again.
I've seen what happens to team guys that do that.
Fair enough. I'm just glad you're home.
Hmm.
I damn near got lost trying to find the place.
Can't wait to see what you did inside.
Okay, pump the brakes on those expectations.
I did leave a few projects for you, so...
It's too bad they got to wait a little longer.
At least till after Chief Warrant Officer Academy.
You're in?
- Hope so. - What do you mean, "hope so"?
Command's on Bravo's ass over some nonsense.
It could jeopardize my promotion if it blows up.
Then let's hope it blows over.
But for now, how about we enjoy your first day in your new home?
Roger that, Mrs. Perry.
All right, let's go.- Yes.
Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am.
- Come on, girl. - Come on.
Oh, that's right. We were gonna split these.
Tres tacos for you, and this burrito for me.
Same order as our last homecoming meal.
It's called the usual for a reason, Mandy.
Right.
Old habits,
falling back into the routines.
Hey, it's... it is called the reentry process.
That's what it is. We're reentering.
That's what I'm doing, all right? Part of that process...
Reentry went pretty well for you last time,
alone in that garage apartment,
just the sound of your microwave to keep you company.
Can I just enjoy my burrito, please?
Thank you.
So, what time should I expect you to knock on my door tonight
when whatever spooked you in Afghanistan
- comes creeping back up on you? - Stop, all right?
I thought you said what happens in J-Bad stays in J-Bad.
Didn't we agree to that?
- We did. We agreed. - Mm-hmm.
It was a needed distraction,
and a temporary solve
for bigger issues.
I get it. I know what you're doing here.
I understand the whole therapy thing.
This is what you call "transference," right?
These are your demons that are coming out,
that you're dealing with,
after seeing Samim's widow, not my demons.
Your demons.
"Hardest part is living with the fact
that this is who I chose to become," yes.
- Mm-hmm. - You're right,
I am still thinking about it.
Samim, Jack Daniels, Al-Hazred Jr.
They're gone. They're in the past.
We move forward. That's what we do.
- Ignore and override. - Exactly.
Ignore and override.
We made a choice, now we live with it.
Maybe.
What do you mean, maybe?
Maybe we can choose to become someone else again.
You Tinker Bell now?
Fantasy world? Is that what we're doing?
I always wanted to play third base for the Phillies, but...
- I'm serious. - So am I.
We made a commitment to serve.
Right?
But until when?
All in all the time, it doesn't leave any room for us.
Yeah, right, what are you gonna do? You gonna sit at home
on the couch and play Mortal Kombat?
That's not what we do.
We just cut the head off a snake.
- Tomorrow, another snake is gonna slither out... - Mm-hmm.
...from some other rock, and on and on.
And on and on and on.
You're gonna find them, I'm gonna kill them.
Besides, if we don't do it, who's gonna do it, Mandy?
Someone else.
You've been in this way too long
to believe that you're comfortable with that answer.
- You're right. - Yeah.
But I was a teenager when I got in.
We'd just been hit.
The path ahead seemed so clear and so right.
And 20 years later...
20 years...
All the loss, all the bloodshed.
I mean, Samim, Dr. Craig.
- I can't do this anymore. - Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What do you mean, you can't do this anymore?
It's who you are. It's who we are.
It's not who I want to be.
- It's not. - Okay, who do you want to be, Mandy?
- I don't know. - You don't know?
I have to do this now.
What do you mean, you have to do this now?
- I have to do this now. - Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down.
You haven't even eaten your tacos.
You haven't touched them.
This is the best burrito in Vah Beach.
If I don't walk away now, I'm gonna lose myself forever.
- Just... - And if I stay, you're gonna talk me out of it.
Mandy look, just sit down, eat your burrito.
Have-have this.
- Come on. - Jason.
I'll see you around.
You asked to see me, Petty Officer?
Yes, sir.
I wanted to ask you about the investigation
into the letter to Ambassador Marsden's husband.
Okay. What about it?
Well, I was hoping you could explain
the high-level thinking to me.
You know, why the DoD's so concerned about it.
You don't think the concern is warranted?
I think it's a waste of the Navy's time and resources.
Well, not when someone under my command
accused the State Department of lying
on the front page of The Washington Post.
The letter was sent to a private citizen,
and no intel or tactics were revealed.
Not to mention the State Department
was lying about the ambassador.
You know that doesn't matter.
I mean, whoever wrote the letter
put his future with the Navy in serious jeopardy.
Couldn't stand the thought of her kids
thinking that their mother was anything but a hero.
You wrote the letter?
I did.
I didn't think that the family would take it to the media.
Seems you have more in common with the cowboys
on Bravo Team than I thought.
I will talk to NCIS.
I would prefer to handle this internally, for both our sakes.
Thank you.
If you expected no more than a slap on the wrist
for this, you're wrong.
Goes without saying, STA-21 is gone.
I understand, sir.
Somebody want to tell me?
Since after deployment,
aren't we supposed to get two weeks off?
All right, look, that letter was published months ago.
Why is NCIS pressing the gas on this investigation, huh?
No one needs to talk to NCIS.
The offender has come forward.
Wait, what?
Who?
I wrote the letter.
They gonna bring the hammer down?
Still working out all the details, but, you know,
probably wind up with some crap assignment
in addition to docked pay and busted rank.
And STA-21?
It's off the table.
I got to go see Lindell right now for the final verdict.
Anyone got a spoonful of sugar
to help the blond Icarus's medicine go down?
Hey. Hey.
What the hell were you thinking?
Truth needed to come out.
What truth is that, Clay?
You didn't write the letter.
- I wrote the letter. - I figured you did all along.
Come on, man. Who else on Bravo would be so selfless?
No, it was more like reckless.
Now I got you caught up in my mess.
But the world now knows
who Marsden was, and that's what matters.
You did the right thing.
And you are doing the wrong
by trying to take the rap for me.
I can't unring the bell, Ray.
What about your future, huh?
I like where I am.
You like where you're going.
It's a win-win.
That's real noble of you, Clay.
It is, but I can't let you do it.
You want to go tell Lindell that it was you?
Because then I get busted for lying
and you can kiss warrant officer goodbye.
Why the hell couldn't you just let this investigation
flame out?
Because someone was gonna have to take the hit
and it didn't need to be you.
A-a guy who's paid his dues to get where he is,
has a family to look out for, a brand-new house.
I'm not sure I can ever repay you.
You already have.
Come on, you're the reason I made Bravo.
Look who's back!
- Oh, yeah. - It's gonna take a few months
To get him back into fighting shape,
but Cerberus is cleared for duty.
Injury wasn't the problem.
He spooked on that mountain.
And on target in J-Bad before that.
Oh, is that why you were, uh,
running all those drills with him?
Yeah. The time off will be good for him.
Brock.
His three years in is like 21 for any of us.
It's a lot to handle, especially for a creature
that can't ask for help with his PTS.
It's on us to recognize the signs.
A warrior's place is on the battlefield.
That dog was bred to be in the fight.
But I think he's suffered way too much stress,
combat and trauma.
I think it's time for him to just be a dog.
This is officially the worst day off ever.
Okay, please tell me y'all are gonna meet for drinks later.
Yeah. Of course.
We got to give Ray Perry a proper send-off
to CWO Academy.
Mmm.
Hmm. Guess you missed me.
You tacking on a couple extra days at the end
was textbook psyops.
I'm glad to know it worked.
I might have to adjust my visitation
schedule when you're in Newport for STA-21.
Actually, that won't be an issue.
Why's that?
You're not going, are you?
Command needed a fall guy for the Marsden letter.
You're not naive enough to have written it.
You're paying for someone else's crime. Why?
Because Lindell will take it easy on me.
Cover his own ass
after pumping me up as being the future of the Navy.
Did the team put you up to this?
No.
So you voluntarily threw away your future.
I protected my brothers.
More like hit the self-destruct button.
After three months on deployment,
you changed your mind,
and this is a way to bail on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
without actually bailing.
- What I did over there mattered. - Do you think
That it was a mistake to say yes to STA-21 in the first place?
I think I was confused about how I fit in
with the team.
And I think I made a few wrong turns along the way.
Am I one of those wrong turns?
You call me when you figure it out.
- Hey. - Hey.
You know, it is a damn shame
it takes Ray Perry to disappear on us
for you to come hang.
Huh?
Glad you're here, though.
Good to see you.
Good to see you, too.
You know, I don't know how much of
a regular thing this is gonna be,
but I miss hanging with the team.
Yeah. You know, here I am thinking that
Agent Cody Banks has turned you off door kickers, too.
Think you're overestimating his role in my life.
- No. - Yes.
- You two are done-zo? - See ya later.
Wow. Well, uh, you know, he was, uh, he was a...
he... he was, he was a nice guy.
He is a nice guy, thank you.
He just wasn't worth the effort of long distance.
Hey, you know, we never got to do a postmortem on Texas.
- Yeah. - Obviously, you survived.
Ah, yeah. I, uh...
I better than survived.
You know, I got to patch things up with my pops.
- Good for you. - Yeah, it feels good.

Looks like the rest of the team did, too. Mission accomplished.
Yeah.
Mission accomplished.
So, what brings you out here tonight?
A celebration, actually.
A paper I wrote got published. Lindell put me up
for the Navy Meritorious Civilian Service Award.
I don't know what that means,
but, uh, congratulations.
I don't care about the award.
I'm just glad my work's being acknowledged.
You know, um,
Lindell, he wasn't right about much,
but he was definitely spot-on about you.
I'll say that.

Can't believe I got less than a week with my family

Well, look, Ray. I mean, put it this way.
At least, you know, your daughter doesn't have to worry
you're gonna get killed in Rhode Island, right?
True.
Still got questions, though. You try explaining
what a warrant officer is to an eight-year-old.
Have to explain it to me first.
Heard about Mandy.
She really done?
Yeah, we'll see.
I had her pegged for a lifer.
Guess we all got to get off that speeding train

Sorry I'm late.

He didn't write it.

You wrote it?
I'm sorry.
- You told him, and he offered? - I didn't tell him anything.
He just took it on himself.

Sending Ray off here has got me thinking about, uh,
about Bravo Team's past and-and its future.
You know, Guzo.
My first team leader.
He taught me what it meant to be all in all the time.
And that's a steep price.
A steep price and it's not for everyone.
I'm a better warrior than I ever was a husband
or a father.
But that, see, that was the choice I made.
The choice I made was-was to win the fight
and bring my brothers home.
My men and my mission came first.
But we just took out
the son of a man that I killed
13 years ago, and it seems to me
like this mission isn't ending anytime soon.
And from this last deployment,
it just showed me that...
you boys can take care of each other.
