Previously, on "SEAL Team"...
Look who's back!
Oh, yeah!
His three years in is like
21 for any of us.
I think it's time for him to just be a dog.
We made a commitment to serve.
It's not who I want to be.
If I don't walk away now,
- I'm gonna lose myself forever. - Okay, just...
No one needs to talk to NCIS.
- The offender has come forward. - Wait, what?
- You wrote the letter? - You are doing the wrong thing
by trying to take the rap for me. What about your future?
Goes without saying,
STA-21 is gone.
Command's on Bravo's ass over some nonsense.
It could jeopardize my promotion if it blows up.
Let's hope it blows over.
War has been my refuge for too long.
It's time for Bravo 1 to take a step back from operating.
Roger that. Ready to send...
Get ready!
One Minute
One minute!
30 seconds!
Bravo have boots on the ground yet?
Boots are on the ground. They're just not in the right spot.
They overshot the landing area by two klicks east.
Alpha and Charlie Teams miss the "X," too?
They dead-eyed the LZ and are headed to target now.
Boys don't hurry up, they won't have a chair
when the music stops.
Gotta back around.
Where are we going, Sonny?
All stop! All stop!
All stop! Come on now, Texas.
I didn't get all pretty just to miss the ball.
Gonna turn into pumpkins soon.
Our fearless leader's got us way off course.
Bravo 1, this is 3!
I think you got us going in the wrong direction.
3,
this is Bravo 1.
Work the problem.
You got us so turned around, we can't work the damn problem.
We missed our landing zone by two klicks.
Wind data was off.
Nobody warned us about the crosswind at 10,000.
Yeah. Thirty's right, man.
I reconfirmed the jump path.
- Somebody else goofed. - Yeah, somebody goofed all right:
whoever made Thirty Bravo 1.
Let me know when Echo Team's Charlie Mike.
How are the boys doing?
More of the same.
Missed the landing zone, losing pace.
Good thing it's just a training op.
Been saying that for two months since you stepped down.
Hopefully this isn't Bravo's new normal.
Gonna take some time, but they'll adjust
and get it all squared away.
Moving from the battlefield with the boys
to the sidelines as ops chief
must take some adjusting, too.
Not at all. Just staying in my three-foot world.
This route. Has more elevation change
- but saves time. - Maybe.
But we don't know the terrain up there.
We could get bogged down. It's not a debate.
Mount up!
Come on, Pep. Let's go.
All right, end ex. End ex.
Alpha and Charlie Teams just passed jackpot.
- We'll get 'em next time, boys. - You know, Thirty,
the key point of "time on target"
is actually making it to the damn target!
Another rough outing for Bravo, Lieutenant Commander Blackburn.
Seems we got some bad information
on the wind data, sir.
Might do the team some good,
knock some of that swagger out of 'em.
Not sure how much swagger they're gonna have left
after all these misfires.
Bravo's gonna be fine once Clay and Ray
are back on the team.
Seems you manage to end up
in the ops center whenever Bravo heads out
on another training mission, Master Chief.
Ops is my new battlefield, sir.
Echo Team has an air asset issue in Yemen
that I need you to solve.
Yes, sir.
Just be sure that Echo is the team you're focused on.
Roger that.
Bravo's in my rearview.
*SEAL TEAM* Season 04 Episode 03
Episode Title: "The New Normal" Aired on: December 09, 2020
Synchronized by srjanapala
Look at you.
Two months ago, you took out the biggest HVT in Afghanistan.
Now you're flying solo behind a desk.
That's what you call pipehitter purgatory.
I would take making sugar cookies in BUD/S
over proofreading these reports any day of the week.
Well, Lindell sure did put
his golden boy down for writing that letter to Marsden.
How much more time you have left on your sentence?
No idea.
I'm pushing paper and you're operating a radio.
It's a pretty sorry end for a couple of gunslingers.
I think we both made the right call.
How'd the boys do?
The boys...
- Crapped the bed again. - Oh, man.
I never thought I'd see Bravo lose its fangs.
I'd give anything to be out there with them right now.
You know, I'm, uh...
I'm gonna go clear my head at the range,
if you're up for a little-little competition.
No, I haven't shot a round since I stopped operating.
Well, that's okay. You know, you...
you never could beat me anyway, so...
It's gonna take more than the little baby-faced
trash talking you're doing right now
to bring me out of retirement.
It ain't gonna happen. Oh, just for the record,
I always ate your lunch at the range.
Oh, wait a second.
Ray Perry, back from warrant officer school.
Look at that fruit salad on you.
- You look good, man. - Yeah, yeah.
I'm, uh, still a sled dog. Don't you forget it.
I tell you, all that time off in Rhode Island,
it served you well.
- I wouldn't classify it as a vacation. - Yeah.
You're looking better than expected, too.
Meaning what?
Even the most hard-charging operator puts on
the post-frogman 15 when they slow down.
Nah, I'm good. I'm not slowing down, just pushing ahead.
Just saying, not operating with Bravo,
moving into ops chief,
I wouldn't fault you for struggling.
I'm squared away.
It's your current teammates who are struggling.
Yeah.
Heard they were backsliding.
- Yeah. - Maybe they need their old Bravo 1
to coach 'em up like old times?
No, that's for you to get 'em back on track.
I'm done.
Go get 'em, Ray.
All right.
Julian Blondesange.
Who you come to blow the whistle on this time?
Just going to the range.
Why you need trigger time, Spenser?
Only weapon you use these days is a pencil.
Oh, look at that. Thirty's just bitter
because you bagged Al-Hazred before he did.
So I guess that's why they call you Thirty Mike, huh?
That's how long it takes you to squeeze a shot off?
Witness to history again.
Forrest Gump of operators.
At least he's operating.
Hey, buddy. Pepper's excited to roll with you
- when you're back. - Come say hi.
- Hey. - Come on, man. It's bad enough that we can't walk
and shoot at the same time.
But to go from Cerberus to Pepper? Seriously?
I think part of the reason the team's got some bad mojo
right now is that the dog's name is soft.
I knew you were attached to Jason,
but Cerberus, too?
- Really? - Hey, I think, uh...
I think now is a good time to remind yourselves that...
that Thirty here is just the interim Bravo 1
till Command finds a replacement for Jason.
Hey, it's a temporary title for a permanent jagoff.
- Warrant Officer Perry on deck! - Hey, hey!
Hey! Look at this guy.
- Looking good, buddy. - What's going on?
Be lucky to get half this attention when I get home
- to my wife and kids. - Sup, brother?
Well, if Naima's been shacking up with Thirty, you will.
- Hey, could happen. - Naima sparked to me the night they met.
- Ain't that right, Prime Time? - Ooh.
You know what?
Not even you can bring me down right now, Thirty.
Gonna welcome
Ray home in style tonight, boys.
First round is on the newest cake-eater.
Y'all are gonna eat up my warrant officer pay bump
- in one night, aren't you? - Yeah.
And then, for abstaining
for two months from extracurriculars,
this cute little Clay pigeon here
is gonna transform into a fierce nighthawk.
Agoraphobia flaring up again there, Spenser?
Just walking the line till Lindell lets me off probation.
Bro, you don't show up at the Bulkhead,
I'm pulling your Team Guy card.
Yeah, well, I'm just glad I still have it.
All right, I'm in.
There he is. He's in.
Gentlemen, we have some business to deal with.
We are...
spinning up?
Not anytime soon.
Captain Lindell has determined that,
until you show vast improvement,
Bravo's unfit to operate.
Is this, uh, the Perry household?
Daddy!
There's my baby girl. Come here.
Every time I leave, you are twice as big when I get back.
Then maybe you should stop leaving.
Oh. Ah.
- She's been waiting two months to hit you with that. - Mmm.
Mmm.
Babe, the house is looking good.
It's looking really good.
Well, still have those projects for you to work on.
Don't you worry.
Oh. Well, great.
I actually got time to start earning my keep around here
with Bravo still in the training cycle.
What's a training cycle?
Uh, that's when Bravo stays home,
and I get to tuck my babies in every night.
I don't need tucking in anymore.
Mm.
You are growing up too fast, Jameelah June.
Well, sounds like
you two can make up for lost time.
Absolutely, but starting tomorrow?
Um, Bravo's throwing me a welcome home party tonight.
If that's okay with you two?
Bravo can have you tonight, but after that, you are all ours.
Right?
- Yes, ma'am. Mwah. - Mwah.
Ah.
If you're conducting a séance, I can come back.
No, I'm just enjoying the peace and quiet.
- That's it. - Mm.
Staying calm in the calm is a good look on you.
Though I should warn you,
things might get just a little bit loud later.
- Thank you. I can handle that. - Mm?
How was work?
Yeah, work was work. By the way,
- you missing someone? - Someone lagged behind
the entire hike.
Come on!
- Where are you, buddy? - Hey.
How are you? Hey, buddy.
Ah, yeah.
Look at you.
A couple of old, smelly warriors.
Ah, more like soul mates, that's for sure.
I talked to Emma on my hike.
Oh, I was just about to FaceTime her.
She won't pick up.
She's on her way down to Baltimore.
Oh, Baltimore.
Gonna spend the whole weekend with that kid's family?
That kid has a name.
- Brad. - Brad has got to know that
even though I'm not operating, I'm very dangerous.
You used that line on me last time we went bowling,
and I beat you by 40.
40? How about that.
Hey, hey.
It's nice knowing when that phone buzzes,
you're not running into bullets anymore.
They're just throwing a bash for Ray at the Bulkhead.
It's a welcome home party.
You should go.
Thought we were gonna have dinner.
You've barely hung with the guys since you quit Bravo.
Besides, I should focus on my report.
You know, my days of closing out the Bulkhead are...
They're way over.
Ray's promotion is a big deal.
You should be there for him.
What do you think?
Should I go? Should I go?
Oh, yes.
Won't be long, okay?
All right.
Come on, Cerberus.
How's life
as a Navy bureaucrat, Spenser?
Oh, man. Well, let's see.
Today, I, uh, proofread a paper on DEVGRU's financial reporting.
- A report on a report. - Tell me those
cake-eating demons aren't still inside you
after all this, Blonde Rumsfeld.
No, no, no. Trust me, man, they've been...
they've been exorcised.
Lord, it's a miracle! Let's do some shots.
Can I get a "Amen"?
- Amen. - Amen.
Let's get some spirit juice in us, boys.
You know what? I think I'm starting to see Bravo's problem.
Oh, come on, man.
Howling at the moon ain't got nothing to do with this, okay?
The issue with us starts at the top.
One man can't bring down the team, Sonny.
I tell you what.
Thirty... he ain't making Bravo great again.
The team just ain't right without Jace.
Well, that's because y'all are refusing to move on without him.
I mean, the dude's showing up to the ops center every day,
letting Bravo find their sea legs on their own.
I would say that he seems committed to his next chapter.
Hey, man, guy got off the speeding train
with mind and body intact.
It's more than any operator can ask for.
Damn straight.
It's on us to support the decision.
All right. It's just, you know...
He won't go to the range, barely hangs out with us,
can't even set foot in the cages.
That's 'cause he moved on, Sonny.
Jason can compartmentalize better
than all of us, we know that.
Okay, but what he's trying to do right now is ignore
and override anything that reminds him
of door-kicking because every fiber of his being
wants to get froggy again.
♪ Let the spirit pull me under to the bottom of the well ♪
♪ You want to live forever, but you never can tell ♪
♪ So one for the money... ♪
Think he's right about Jace?
♪ Three for the Father... ♪
Playing desk jockey and being away
from the team's driving me crazy.
I'm-I'm sure there's part of him
that's questioning the path he's chosen.
That mean you're questioning giving up life as an admiral?
I got no regrets.
Door-kicking's all I want to do.
Damn. You haven't kicked any damn doors in months.
I'll tell you, I messed up writing that letter.
No.
Marsden's family knows the truth thanks to you.
Yeah, but you're the one paying for it.
I made warrant officer,
and-and... and you had all your ambitions squashed.
Look, man...
the only ambition I have now is make it back to Bravo.
- Aw! Gotcha. - Oh.
Ooh, thank you.
I'm gonna consider this a down payment for all the matches
- that you've lost to me the last couple months. - Come on.
I do recall the matches going a completely different way.
Yeah, and that spotty memory of yours is what keeps you
- coming back for more beatings. - Wow.
- Mm-hmm. - Okay.
You know, you know what? It is, uh...
It's really nice having you hanging around the boys again,
even if, uh, it is costing me a fortune in drinks.
Yeah.
Well, I'm trying to be mindful of my work-life balance.
Mandy walking away was a real eye-opener.
Well, you know, with everything that's going on with Bravo...
Kind of itching to get out of here, you know,
- to get out of Vah Beach. - Mm-hmm.
And, uh, well, uh, NASCAR happens to be this weekend
down in Charlotte, and my good buddy Austin Dillon...
Oh, yes. Yeah, he invited me down to come see him, and...
and I thought maybe, you know, well, I don't know,
you might want to join me.
Mm...
That's-that's a terrible idea, isn't it?
Yes, it is. Yeah, I knew it. I knew it.
'Cause once you go down that road, we're gonna get...
We'd be right in that red asphalt.
Look, I don't know. I mean, what,
we got two friends hanging out.
- Two friends. - What's the big deal?
What's the big deal?
♪ You've see the signs... ♪
So, Jameelah's got every free minute planned out for me.
- Totally, right? All of it. - All of it.
Yes! OCD'd up, right?
All of it.
Starts this weekend at, uh, Water Adventure.
Mm. Water Adventure.
- Don't forget to bring the towels. - Mm-hmm.
At least she's not off to stay with her boyfriend. That's...
- I, uh... - Uh-huh.
I take it Emma hasn't told this guy
what her dad does for a living yet?
I really don't think
"Chief Ops" title is gonna scare the pants off him.
I-I actually think that you want to try
- and scare the pants back on him. - Ah.
Bump, bump. There it is.
Yeah, laugh it up.
I'm sorry, man. I don't mean to laugh.
I'm sorry. I-I don't mean to laugh. I don't mean to laugh.
I'm just... I'm proud of you is all.
- Proud of me? What? - I'm proud of you.
For not putting her boyfriend on a ghost plane to Yemen?
There's that. No.
But just, just after seeing you be all in
for so long with-with Bravo, it's just nice
seeing you all in on the next phase of your life
with Natalie and the kids.
Kids are always gonna be in my life, Ray.
The other thing...
- Jason Hayes! - There he is.
- Look at that. - Hey, let's get some shots going, boys.
Nah, nah, nah, nah.
I can't be getting zapped with you tonight there, Sonny boy.
- Come on. What are you talking about? - Really? - Yeah, sorry.
Fine, man. Fine. Well, it's just good to, uh...
have the real Bravo 1 here.
Maybe, uh, you could give us some wisdom
and-and help us out a little bit.
Ah, man, I can't stay long.
I got to get back, take care of Cerberus.
Come on, man. You can't make bailing on Bravo a habit, bro.
Actually, I...
- It's past my curfew. - Whoa.
I'll see you boys tomorrow, all right? - All right, brother.
You know, it just breaks my heart
that... Clay's gone Elvis on us.
You know, Lindell was, uh, pretty hard on him.
Oh, come on. You can't blame the CO for his selfishness.
Go easy on Spenser, all right?
But he put himself over the team.
Now Bravo's paying for it.
Clay didn't write the letter.
What are you talking about?
What he did was reckless.
All right? It was risky.
Damn near the most selfless thing I've ever seen.
You wrote the letter?
Look, truth comes out,
Clay and Ray are both off Bravo, so this stays here.
Roger that.
I spoke with Lindell,
assured him Bravo will pull it together
now that Prime Time is back.
Now hold on. You ain't put it all on me?
Oh, I will, 'cause Lindell agreed.
We're running the training op again tomorrow.
- Well played, Thirty. - Amen.
Why don't you keep that winning streak going
and buy us all a round of shots?
Bravo's got a lot riding on tomorrow.
Ooh!
- Need to be primed. - Yep.
Well, looks like you're gonna have...
time to go walk Cerberus after all.
I think I'll just finish my drink first.
You know, it's not like I have to
wake up tomorrow and be primed like you guys.
Prime Time.
Enjoy the perks of retirement, Hayes.
All right. We turn it around today, boys.
Yeah, if you can stop confusing your ass from your elbow.
Hey, when Thirty says go right, we go right, okay?
Look, fellas,
as much as we don't like it,
Jason is not walking through that door to lead us to victory.
But if we all stay in our three-foot worlds,
trust our man to our left and right...
Bravo will take its place back atop the food chain.
I promise you that.
Okay?
Come on.
Warrant Officer Perry?
Yeah. Your presence is requested.
What for?
You'll find out.
Training's been scrubbed 'till tomorrow, gents.
Bravo's shot at redemption
will have to wait.
I'm certain they'll turn things around, sir.
Well, perhaps. Just be sure Bravo's troubles
won't impact you, Ensign Davis.
How's that, sir?
Your stellar work hasn't gone unnoticed.
You're being promoted.
You're an exemplary officer,
the type of leader the Navy needs more of, and while...
Bravo might be stuck in reverse,
your star is on the rise at the Command.
Thank you, sir.
Why did Bravo's mission get scrubbed?
There's a situation with Warrant Officer Perry.
Situation? What do you mean? What happened?
That's not of concern to you, Master Chief.
It's my concern. He's my teammate.
Former teammate.
Have you solved Echo's air asset issue?
- I wanted an answer today. - Not yet, sir.
Then I suggest you train your scope on your job
instead of Warrant Officer Perry.
Warrant Officer Perry,
this is Agent Olivia Green.
CIA is requesting support from Special Activities
on this assignment.
First assignment as warrant.
You guys don't waste time, do you?
Over the last six months, Tunisia's endured
a series of terrorist attacks by Ansar Al-Masar.
The scale and frequency of the violence is on the rise,
threatening to destabilize one of our key allies in the region.
You and Agent Green will head to Tunis,
collect intel, smooth over any diplomatic issues
and build a target package.
Bravo will join you to prosecute the mission
- if they're cleared hot. - And if they're not?
As a warrant officer, you are aware
you're no longer in a monogamous relationship with Bravo?
Roger that, ma'am.
How long till we roll up our sleeves?
Wheels up tomorrow morning.
Oh.
Is that gonna be a problem?
I only got home yesterday...
I wasn't planning to blow out so quick.
Ah. Sorry the war on terror
isn't working around your schedule.
I'll find another OIC if needed.
That won't be necessary, ma'am.
Read me in.
Hey there, little buddy.
Shouldn't you be out leading Bravo to glory?
Ah, yep, but the plug just got pulled.
Ray is needed elsewhere.
Oh, uh,
don't worry,
I just heard it had to do with S.A.
It's got nothing to do with Marsden.
Why would it?
You know, I... I really can't figure
you jumping on that grenade for Ray, if it was the...
dumbest thing you ever did or whether it was the noblest.
It was the best way to keep us all with Bravo.
Yeah, suppose that's true, but...
you ain't on Bravo anymore.
So don't you think it's time you, uh,
mend the fence with Lindell?
- Hmm? - He doesn't want to hear from me.
No, look, man, I'm sure he's got a... a red ass.
Right?
But they're sending out Ray, and Bravo is un-operational.
Clay, the team needs you, okay?
Jason's pulled himself out of the game.
Ray has got all these new responsibilities.
We just need your help to turn this Bravo ship around
before we all sink.
Help us,
Obi-Blonde Kenobi.
You're our only hope.
Now, listen, I just don't think you should be goofing off,
is all I'm saying, all right?
You got to learn your lines for your play.
Isn't that right? Who wants a chicken strip?
All right, good boy.
If you're not all in, you're all out.
Clara says, like, 20 words.
You got to be off book by Monday.
That's what the professor said, right?
You were so much less annoying
when you knew nothing about my life.
Speaking of the show,
since it's a modern adaptation,
could you mail me the beautiful camel hair coat
you got Mom?
It's perfect.
The camel hair coat. Right.
Um...
Yeah, I think it's in storage.
No worries. I can make do without.
So, how's work?
You liking the ops chief job?
You know, I just... I got to serve out my enlistment somehow,
so... it works, I guess.
I am proud of you for the way you're handling everything.
Well, don't be too proud, all right?
'Cause Uncle Ray tapped Brad's phone.
I know where you are at all times.
I mean, it's nice seeing you put your own happiness first
after all you've sacrificed for Bravo.
Natalie's a big part of that happiness, isn't she?
I suppose. All right, why am I feeling
that this is some kind of a trap?
You know her term at DEVGRU is up at the end of next month.
And there it is.
So, what's your plan?
Plan? I don't have a plan. I was just, you know,
taking it day to day, see how it unfolds.
But she might move back to San Diego soon.
You can't afford to take things one day at a time.
Natalie's amazing, and you deserve to have someone
in your life like that after everything.
It's complicated.
If you're not all in, you're all out.
If you're really committed to your future,
why are you holding back with Natalie?
I have to go.
Talk to Natalie, Dad. I love you.
I love you, too.
Two months of desk duty hardly amounts to time served.
The State Department wanted your head on a platter
after that Marsden stunt.
But I appreciate you not giving it to them.
My time away from Bravo has given me a new perspective.
I know that I failed my team, and...
the Command and you.
In all that failing, you still feel
you've earned your place back on Bravo?
Team's in disarray.
I can help turn things around, sir.
Well, that's pretty arrogant.
But your ability as an operator has never been in question,
which is why I stuck my neck out for you for STA-21.
Sir, I'll prove you were right to believe in me.
You know, Bravo just said goodbye to one cowboy,
and the last thing they need is another boat-rocker.
So you will operate again one day, Spenser,
but it won't be with Bravo Team.
Well, here I am running out again.
Well, we knew changes would come with your new job.
Good thing the Perry family bends,
we don't break. I took this job
to help the family... now I barely feel like I'm part of it.
Can't help but wonder if going warrant was the right choice.
Been in this long enough
to know there aren't any right decisions for military families,
just hard ones.
I know, babe, but...
Bravo needs me now, too, and I'm not there for them, either.
It's just... it's just adding up.
Want me to wake up the kids so you can kiss them goodbye?
Oh... no.
They were so upset when I told them I was leaving,
I'm... not sure I can handle another round of tears.
I'll kiss them when I get back.
Mm.
Remember, we're in this together.
Morning.
Hey, hey.
Hey. How was your drive?
Ah, hit some traffic coming out of Baltimore,
but, uh, not too bad.
It's very cool of you to take her that coat for her show.
That's just trying to be supportive.
- Plus, I got a chance to size up Brad. - My dad never
would have let me stay with a boy at her age.
Thanks for reminding me.
It shows that you trust her.
It's a good thing. It's nice to see
your relationship evolving.
Sorry I missed dinner.
I actually got a lot done.
That's it.
- The final report. - First draft.
An entire year's worth of data.
Can't believe my time's almost up here.
Do you want to get lunch later?
I should keep my head down.
Report deadline's rapidly approaching.
All right.
All in all the time. I like it.
Shouldn't you be getting ready for the training op?
I was kind of hoping
that we'd be, uh, getting ready together.
What's the word, man?
I'm not rolling with you today.
Son of a bitch.
Lindell give you any idea how long it's gonna be
'till the shackles come off?
Don't you go shy on me, Clay.
What's the word?
So how long you over there for?
Could be weeks.
Man, I got whiplash
from being jerked around so much.
Tell you what. I'd be happy to trade this chaos
for the, uh, routine and stability
- of your life right now. - Yeah, well, I don't really feel
like I'm on stable ground.
Come on now, brother.
Path you're on has got a lot of light to it.
Thought you said you were pushing on.
Yeah, I...
You know, when I stood down, Bravo was in a good place.
Now, everything that's going on,
- I feel responsible for this whole mess. - Two days ago,
you told me it wasn't on you to get Bravo back on track.
You held up Bravo all those years.
Mm. - It's about damn time we tried standing on our own.
Be good for you to stand on your own, too.
What the hell you got to say for yourself, Ray?
- What? - Whoa, whoa. What's your problem?
Lindell has permanently pulled Clay from Bravo because
- of what he did. - Well, you're off Br... you're off Bravo?
Yeah.
I'm sorry it's gone down this way. I... Well...
My choice, my consequences. I'll handle it.
You know, behind that pious front of yours, Ray,
- you are one selfish son of a bitch. - Hey, hey!
- Hey! - Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Come on, man.
Hey, this isn't on, Ray, man.
This is my decision. Now I got to own it.
This sucks, but you got to adapt and overcome.
Oh...
He shivved one of our brothers,
and all you can say, all you can say, Jace,
is "adapt and overcome"? I would give
anything to fix this, Sonny, I would.
Yeah. I would, man.
But you know, the team would be a lot better off
if instead of you pinning your hopes
on everyone else to fix Bravo, you actually be part
of the solution for a change. Yeah, you managed
to nuke Bravo with one foot out the door to make warrant.
Imagine the damage that you could have inflicted
if you had the brass to run your own team!
I got a flight to catch.
Yeah, you do.
Clay, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, man. I'm sor... I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. Get your head on straight.
You got to perform for the team.
Stop. Sto... I-I don't need
to be lectured on what the team needs from a guy...
from a guy that quit on us.
Yeah, that's what you did, Jason.
Havoc, this is Bravo 1.
I pass Lansford.
- Good copy, 1. - How they doing?
Right on schedule.
Come on, boys.
You got this.
Set.
And three, two, one...
Freeze! Safe and let them hang.
Secure that firing device, Trent.
What the hell's going on, sir?
I have accountability. MSD is set.
That breach is totally safe.
This is a training evolution.
We have live rounds on target.
Son of a bitch.
Sonny, what the hell, man?
That's it for the day. Grab your gear. You're done.
Come on in.
Shouldn't you be coordinating Echo's air assets?
Sir, I'm here about Bravo. I'm more concerned
about my teams out in the field than the ones
who can't stop peeing down their own leg.
All right, well, the quickest way to combat readiness
for Bravo Team is to get Spenser back on the team.
Spenser made his own bed.
So, what, Bravo's now collateral damage?
Echo needed an air asset solve
yesterday, yet you're more concerned
with Bravo's training troubles.
My job is to support all the assault teams at the Command.
I know how to make Bravo right again.
Yeah, of course you do.
Nobody knows Bravo like you do.
But your expertise in Bravo?
That stopped mattering the moment you stepped down,
but you haven't accepted that.
And you're hurting yourself by not embracing your future.
You're hurting Bravo
by not allowing them to move on, either.
Their battle is no longer yours to fight,
yet here you are.
You're leading the charge.
And look, I know it's not easy
to go from the sandbox to the head shed,
but right now, you are stuck in no-man's-land,
and you're of no use to anyone.
Not yourself. Not Bravo.
Certainly not me.
So you flip that switch, Master Chief,
or I will do it for you.
We clear?
Crystal clear, sir.
I'm not allowed to help Bravo in the ops center.
Oh, one more thing. DEA will give you
the air assets you need for Echo.
It's unconventional,
but they helped me out when I was in a jam.
You're well aware, Ambassador, of the damage
Ansar Al-Masar has done here.
Seven attacks targeting Westerners in the past six months.
Each attack more brazen than the previous.
And effective. Confidence in the government is wavering.
Well, we'll balance those scales
- if we're allowed to hunt down the perpetrators. - Perhaps.
But American soldiers shooting up the country
poses a whole different set of problems for the Tunisians.
Well, we're sailors, ma'am,
and nobody will know we're here.
Cerberus!
Be kidding me.
It's okay. It's okay.
You know, you're not bred for this life.
It's not your fault.
All this time, I've been blaming Thirty,
and here I am, the one costing Bravo.
Yeah, but you're gonna turn things around.
I'm not too sure, with the...
the tailspin we're in,
we're gonna be able to pull out of this.
Just make sure you don't get any of this Bravo stank on you,
okay?
Actually,
I'm getting promoted.
I mean, I know... It feels a little weird,
you know, with everybody struggling.
Well, that's great. I mean, I mean,
that-that-that is truly the best news I've heard
since we called jackpot on Al-Hazred Jr. -
It's not a big deal.
No, what do you mean? Of course it's a big deal.
You know, a year ago, you were questioning everything.
And now it seems like you might be the only one
that's got any type of answer around here.
♪ But, baby, things are gonna change... ♪
I'm proud of you.
♪ I'm gonna make up for all... ♪
Thank you.
♪ I'm gonna love away all your pain... ♪
Unfortunately, uh,
due to Bravo's current state,
uh, Thirty wants us to stick around this weekend...
Ah. - and do some extra training. Yeah.
So, the-the getaway to Charlotte's off.
- Right? - Yeah.
You know, it's probably for the best
given my promotion.
Higher profile means more eyes.
It's always something with us, huh?
Can't quite get the stars to align, can we?
♪ Yes, I've got something on my mind... ♪
I think about it.
You know, what we gave up.
It's hard not to when it's staring at you in the face.
Tell you what.
Why don't I, uh, get another round and...
you and I drown our sorrows together.
♪ A rainbow, baby ♪
♪ Until he had the rain... ♪
I got work to do.
And I should probably be buying my own drinks from now on.
♪ Tomorrow's gonna be ♪
♪ A brighter day ♪
♪ This time you can believe me ♪
♪ No more cryin' in your lonely room... ♪
You two getting friendly again?
No. No, no.
Reunions are-are definitely not in the cards
this week, Mr. Spenser.
Oh, man.
♪ It's gonna be a brighter day... ♪
Still hasn't sunk in that I'm off Bravo.
Not how I saw it playing out. I guess that makes
Lindell our Yoko Ono.
You know, even though we're not teammates,
we're still brothers.
- Your words. - Oh, boy,
- please don't remind me of that. - Ray's still both.
You know, you went at him pretty hard.
- Jason, too. - Hell yeah, I did.
Thanks to them, Bravo as we know it is dead.
No easy day.
Yeah.
Unless our knight in shining armor is here to save us.
Surprised you called.
Looks like your boys need a morale boost.
Yeah. Yeah, they do need my help.
Thanks.
There's, uh, only one way I can give it to 'em.
By operating again.
You know...
...these past two months, I, uh...
I've been really trying just to keep my head down.
Adjust to my new life.
And, uh, every time I think about the future,
you know, I think about the unknown.
When I think about the past, I...
I think about Bravo.
The team and the job you loved.
It's hard to let go of that.
You know, my first open-water swim at BUD/S
almost washed me out.
The current took me, and I, um, I panicked
and I got disoriented; it was a mess.
The unknown is-is scary,
but... you didn't give up.
Yeah, 'cause I had a swim buddy there
who helped me find my way.
The unknown has always been a safe place for me
because I've always had my teammates by my side.
Probably why it's been so hard for me to...
let go of them since I left Bravo.
Bravo hasn't let go either.
No, they haven't.
They haven't let go, but they have to.
And so do I.
So I was thinking maybe, uh,
it'd be a lot easier for me to take on the unknown
if you stayed here in Virginia Beach.
That's a big conversation.
I like big conversations.
That's definitely one worth having.
But... talking isn't really
what I had in mind for tonight.
Do you want to get out of here?
Yeah. Let's push on, huh?
You handled the ambassador like an old pro.
Uh, I don't know.
Honestly, I'm a lot more comfortable
getting shot at than I am playing politics.
Your contact's late.
Well, you have to learn patience in this job.
- Little less point and shoot than you're used to. - Oh, well,
change and operators aren't always a good mix.
- No? - No.
You should meet my former team leader...
