This is how war begins.
Athens and Sparta fought during a plague
which wiped out much of the population.
Sound familiar?
But the war brought only more death and destruction
because people let their fear, their honor, their interest
cloud their judgment.
The Peloponnesian War may be ancient history,
but its lessons are not.
You, here, will be the first graduating class of midshipmen
to enter the Navy since our own troubles ended just three years ago.
We're in a time of peace,
but peace doesn't keep itself.
Ours is a small navy, which means...
Your importance to the mission is even larger.
And you will take the lessons from history,
both ancient and very recent, with you as you enter service.
When you put on the uniform,
you can't let your fear...
Or your pride or your selfish interest
lead you astray or people die.
We have to think differently because we are different.
We are warriors.
All right, we'll pick it up after the weekend.
Don't forget your reading.
We're all working from the same edition,
thanks to our friends at the Nimitz Library.
We'll discuss the first hundred pages.
Don't worry, there's lots of pictures.
Attention on deck.
Dismissed.
See you on Monday, enjoy the big game, go Navy!
Go Navy!
- Mr. Swain? - Yes, sir?
How it is my brightest student
is always the last one to turn in his assignments?
Oh, sir, I had a last minute breakthrough.
I wanted to check my numbers.
I'm sorry, sir. It's no excuse.
"The Next Virus Will Be Cyber." I thought I was done with viruses.
I hope we are, sir.
Well, I'm docking you one grade for lateness,
but this is excellent work.
And if you don't mind, I'd like to hang on to it for a little bit.
There's some folks at Fleet Command who'd be interested in your research.
I'd like to share it with them, with your permission.
Yeah. Yes, sir. Of course.
Um...
Do you miss it, sir?
Miss what?
War, sir.
Son, you really oughta get to my class more often.
I just mean, you retired,
and that's cool and all, but...
Don't you miss the mission?
Clarity of purpose?
I mean, you said it yourself, we're warriors.
Without a war, what's a warrior to do?
Thank you, sir.
Tavo, Tavo, viva Tavo! Tavo, Tavo, viva Tavo!
Tavo, Tavo!
You get the tickets?
Si.
No problem, señor.
I smuggled blue cure into Panama
two weeks before the ship showed up.
This? This was easy.
"You are cordially invited to the 50th birthday celebration
"of El Presidente Fernando Asturius. Black tie preferred."
You know, it seems odd El Presidente throws a blow-out party
while the people curse him in the street.
That's Panama. El Presidente isn't afraid of Gustavo Barros
or his Gran Colombian goons.
Whoever controls the Panama Canal...
Is king.
And for now, that man is El Presidente.
Well, killing El Presidente would change all that.
You guys are crazy.
What are you? Defense Intelligence?
CIA?
Yeah, you guys are crazy.
Adiós, Marco.
I gotta go!
No, I'm going through security.
I'll see you tonight.
I will do the cooking.
You're the best ever. Ever, ever, ever!
And the cutest and the sweetest and the smartest.
- I gotta go! - Wait!
I'm sending you something super important.
- Hang on! - Okay, okay, okay.
Did you get it?
I got it.
Now you have it.
You're so weird. I love you.
I love you. Bye.
Bye.
- Commander Granderson? - Yes, sir.
You're right on time.
Put it up on the big screens.
They made it.
Almost here.
The great fleet.
USS Michener, this is fleet command, come in, over.
This is Zulu actual. It is another beautiful day at sea.
As I'm sure you've been watching,
we're currently 200 miles north of Naval Station Mayport.
Should be in port and all tucked in by nightfall.
Ships in the fleet, why don't you give our friends
in Florida a proper Navy hello?
This is USS Jeffrey Michener actual. All systems go.
We have onboard a full complement of surface warriors,
aviators, and more marines than you can shake a stick at. Over.
This is the USS Oliver actual. All systems are a go.
This is Michael O'Connor actual. All systems go.
This is the Javier Cruz actual. Smooth sailing.
Good day, fleet command.
This is Nathan James actual. All systems go.
We are ready and proud to no longer be the only ship in the fleet.
Ships of the fleet, your route is clear.
We wish you fair winds and following seas.
Much obliged, Master Chief.
It's a great day for the Navy, and the red, white, and blue.
This is Zulu actual out.
We're up a touchdown but it's early.
Taking nothing for granted.
Army's got ground game. For once.
What time's your flight?
Couple hours.
You pack your whites?
It's hot in Florida, even in December.
Sam moved out, Sasha.
He wants to live with Ashley in St. Louis.
I know. I spoke with Ashley last week.
Oh, great, so I'm the last to know?
They have a great school there. They have continuity.
- Don't take it personally. - How can I not?
It's just easier for them. They...
They're used to you not being there full-time.
What do you mean? I've been here full-time for the last three years.
Not in your head.
I'm sorry.
How's Panama?
Hot, getting hotter.
I'm hoping to settle things quick.
We should visit the kids at Christmas.
Yup, okay.
Tom, things are good.
Considering everything, they're real good.
Just go have fun with your old friends and I'll call you soon.
I love you.
Be safe.
Viva Tavo.
Viva Tavo!
Welcome to the helo bay.
This is where Dr. Scott set up her lab.
It was in this small, sealed space
that she developed the cure and eventually tested it...
On some of our crew.
Come, step through this door and imagine yourself
in a bio-secure space,
one where you would have to wear a suit like this
in order to protect yourself from the virus.
Excuse me, sir. So sorry to be a bother, but would you mind?
- Not at all. - Oh, thanks much!
You just press that button right there.
Okay, right.
And all the kids across the street,
you know, just start sprayin' him with the hose.
He said, "Daddy, Daddy, I wanna be like you."
I'm, like, "What are you? What?"
I rush out staring at him,
and he's waving his shorts over his head at the kids.
- Attention on deck! - There he is.
Don't stop the reunion on my account.
- Sir. - Good to see you, Ray.
Likewise, sir.
Gator!
How's civilian life treating you?
Well, I can't say it's less stressful than being out at sea.
My boy turned two yesterday.
That's terrific. Congrats.
He's retired,
but he's gonna put on that uniform
and be Gator one last time tomorrow, right?
Yeah, if I can find my sextant.
They just can't leave. I keep promoting 'em, they keep comin' back.
Captain. Nathan James has never looked better.
Thank you, sir.
I'm just CO for the launch of the fleet.
Then I'm on shore duty and mom duty.
Well, Sasha says Danny's doin' all right.
Well, you know more about him than I do.
He's doin' what makes him happy,
or at least what keeps him sane.
No, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Hey, so how's school?
Got a fresh crop of sailors, ready to serve.
That's what I like to hear.
- You still teachin' Moby Dick? - One day I'm gonna make you read it.
Well, I think I've been through enough torture.
- Ready for your big speech? - Mmm.
We were one ship. Now we're a fleet.
- Life is good. - See?
Don't need 800 pages. Keep it simple.
Captain Garnett? Come in.
This is Captain Garnett.
Your presence is requested on the...
Besides, you don't have to say a thing, Admiral.
Just being here, with all of us, there are no words.
- Have a good night, señora. - Gracias.
Marco was right. This is the place to be.
I'm offended we weren't invited.
I could use a drink.
Sleep tight, amigo.
It is a shame, I know.
I have never been through the Canal,
but from what I hear, it is beautiful.
- You must go! - Mmm.
I could take you on a drive.
Through the rainforest to a place, a la cima de Volcan Baru.
From there, you can see both oceans at once.
Both oceans at once?
- Mmm-hmm. - Mmm-hmm.
To Volcan Baru.
I'm afraid you will have to wait your turn.
The Presidente has many friends.
Those are not friends,
but as long as Fernando Asturius controls the Panama Canal,
he'll have many well-wishers.
I'll take it as a good sign.
The world is still getting back on its feet
and global trade is a key factor in promoting progress.
You're American?
Sasha Cooper.
Hector Martinez.
Republica de la Gran Colombia.
Gran Colombia? Mmm...
So those are your protesters out on the street.
Not mine.
Those are Panamanians who seek to keep Panama free.
While holding up photos of your leader.
Well, Gustavo Barros has inspired all of South America
to put aside centuries of mistrust and come together.
Tavo speaks for us all, because he puts the people first.
He's a revolutionary.
It's funny. When the U.S. flexes its muscle,
it is to protect world order.
But when Latin Americans stand up for their rights,
they are revolutionaries.
- Well? - Well?
We have our connections.
We support El Presidente Asturius.
We only ask for the respect from the north that we well-deserve.
How long will you be in Panama City?
Not long, I'm afraid.
Oh, but I see El Presidente is free,
so I'm going to wish him a happy birthday.
I hope to see you again.
I look forward to it.
It was easy, Mr. President.
In fact, it was too easy.
There's enough C-Four explosives to kill everyone in this room.
Including you, sir.
Uh-huh.
Careful.
That's the second breach of your security.
That's three ways.
Three ways to kill you, sir.
It's not poison.
But it could have been.
Your military leadership, they should not drink with strangers.
Your security and the security of the Panama Canal, are at great risk.
I'm asking that you reconsider our offer.
Let us help you identify your vulnerabilities,
protect you while we train your detail...
And you think that this, this trick of yours, will convince me?
To embarrass me in front of my soldiers,
my friends, at my own party?
No, Miss Cooper, I told you, I cannot accept your help.
If I'm seen clutching at the knees de Los Estados Unidos,
my own people will push me out!
It can be done in secret.
There are no secrets in Panama.
So, unless you plan to kill me on my birthday,
I suggest you leave.
Burk!
What the hell are you doin' here?
I thought you were XO on the James.
I am. My CO wanted me here representin' the ship
while she took some tourists on a cruise around the harbor.
Yeah, I managed to get outta that one, too.
Uh, it's good fun. I mean, people seem to like it, so, I don't know...
Christ, Burk, when did I become a museum exhibit?
No, not an exhibit.
A legend, sir.
Subsurface, you hear anything?
I'm picking up something.
Could be biologics.
Surface, what do you see?
No contacts on surface.
Bridge, TAO.
- I think we found 'em. - Copy.
You're all in for a treat.
Seems our sonar operator found a pod of dolphins 1,000 yards off our port bow.
We'll take you for a closer look.
Commander?
Ma'am, recommend new course 0-3-0.
- Very well. - That's Gator.
I know, Grandpa.
We are here at Fleet Week and we are very excited.
As you can see, there is a crowd building behind me,
and the Navy is going to be showing off the strength of its fleet.
And we are going to be talking to Admiral Tom Chandler.
And we'll have that for you, coming up next.
Well, this is a great day for the Navy,
and for our country.
It's, uh, proof of the resilience of the American people.
That we could muster up limited...
What just happened?
I can't get fleet command on the line. Something's wrong with the satellite.
- Well, we got bigger problems. - What's going on?
My God.
Looks like we've been followed since we got in the country.
And now we are public enemy number one.
Time to go. The Federales are on their way here now!
Is the military smaller now?
Sure, but so is the country.
Look back throughout our military history,
you'll find plenty of examples where we're at a diminished capacity...
Sorry. We lost our satellite feed.
I'm talkin' to the guys in the van.
Okay. I'm so sorry, we're gonna get it fixed
and we'll get right back to you.
TAO, Aegis weapons, fire control and navigational radar are failing.
Something is frying our 400 hertz switchboards.
Emergency shut-down, all systems.
Shut everything now!
Those aren't ours.
And their wings aren't clean.
- Holy shit! - It's an attack.
Take cover!
Move!
Clear the deck!
Take cover! Move it!
- Move, move, move! - Move, off the deck!
God, no.
Move, move, move! Move!
Come on! Move, move! Off the deck!
Clear the deck!
Sir, sir!
TC reports massive fires port-side
on decks two and three. The hull has been breached.
How the hell did we not see this coming?
Early warning and radar systems went dark across
the base right before the attack.
And our weapons systems are down. I think we were hacked!
- You have stingers in the armory? - Yes, sir!
Get the civilians off!
I want all gunners and crew-served weapons
manned by SCAT teams up here now!
- Move! - All gunners, to the rails!
No, no, we've lost contact and reports are just coming in.
This is the commander second MEF.
I need a Marine on the ground to tell me what's going on.
Colonel, this is General Kinkaid. I need all available assets
mobilized to Naval Station Mayport.
We believe we're under attack.
Let's get these systems back on-line, team!
I want eyes on that battlefield!
Sir, DISN has been compromised.
Satellites are not responding and our planes have been grounded.
Fleet command, this is Nathan James, come in.
We are under attack.
Hang tight, Nathan James. We're doing what we can.
We switch over to civilian band. We need our comms.
Admiral, we got Nathan James!
Weapons and ISR are down! We cannot defend!
Enemy aircraft appear to be Pucara-class attack planes, but we have no radar.
Get these people out of here!
Over there! Gunners, cover the bow!
I have CIWS back up.
And the five-inch?
Not yet.
Bridge, TAO.
We have CIWS, but we're at the edge of maximum firing range.
Recommend moving closer to base.
Here comes another wave!
Hey, come this way! Come this way!
Keep your head down! Head down, guys.
Toward the door! Go, go, go!
Ammo!
No!
Ma'am, I'm here!
You're gonna be just fine, you're gonna be just fine.
Just stay calm. We can fix this like we always do, right?
Ma'am, suggest bearing 2-2-5 for five knots
to get inside effective CIWS range.
- Ma'am? - Negative.
CIWS won't be enough.
If we get ourselves seen, we get ourselves sunk.
Keep us out of sight and out of the line of fire.
But...
I'm responsible for every soul on this ship.
And we're no good to the Navy at the bottom of the bay.
Our job is to be ready to fight the battle to come.
All right.
O'Connor and Cruz sank within an hour.
God knows how many were trapped on board when they went down.
My God.
Still can't get an accurate report from the base.
There were sailors and marines all over the place for the event.
So, we're talkin' hundreds, if not thousands, dead.
And for all we know, this was just the first wave.
There may be more going on as we speak.
Are you saying this is a full-scale invasion of the United States?
I'm saying I can't get one goddamn Army base to report in!
Our entire digital platform's been wiped out
and we have no idea what's going on.
Look, we have landlines.
We don't know if they're still secure, but they work.
We need to get every single person in uniform
online and prepared to defend this nation.
Commander, get to work on the computers.
Find out who did this, how they did it, and how to fix it.
Aye, sir.
Now somebody bring me a goddamn map!
Airmen, can your birds fly?
No, sir.
Anything with an onboard computer was hacked.
They wiped us out on the ground. I need a corpsman.
- My chief, he's hit bad. - Go, go.
We'll get you all back to land as soon as possible.
But is it safe?
Sir, we'll make sure, but everyone, just hang tight, okay?
We're all in this together.
Gator?
You should go back with the guests.
- Ma'am, I... - You put on the uniform for the cruise.
But this isn't your fight. Your family needs you.
My family knows we're all alive because of Nathan James,
and if it's all the same to you, Captain,
I didn't fight by your side just to give up now.
I'd like to return to active duty...
If you'll have me.
Thank you.
Command, come in. This is intercept team Delta, over.
I say again, this is intercept team Delta.
Where have you been?
The streets are crawling with Federales, man.
- We gotta get out of here. - Uh...
I have some bad news.
The U.S. Navy fleet in Florida was just attacked.
All the ships were sunk, and thousands are dead.
What did you just say?
Tavo is taking credit for it,
as revenge for the murder of El Presidente by los Americanos!
That's no coincidence.
You don't overthrow Panama while the U.S. fleet is a threat.
No, this was a coordinated attack.
Panama is now under the protection of Tavo and Gran Colombia.
We have to get back to the States.
There's no point in rushing home now.
Danny, our fleet was hit. Our friends, our family...
They may be dead,
but for what comes next we're on the front line.
We have no orders from home,
but we know who the enemy is.
I say we go south, toward Colombia.
We gather intelligence, allies, anything.
We put ourselves in a position to be the tip of the spear until backup arrives.
Can you get us to Colombia?
Sí, I know some people.
I will now speak directly to our enemies
in a language they can understand.
Americans, you are on notice.
The people of Central and South America are united!
We will no longer cower in fear of your big stick.
For you do not offer us protection, but enslavement.
Today marks the beginning of a new equilibrium.
Gran Colombia will no longer sit at the children's table
of international politics.
It is our turn!
Be warned.
If the United States wants a fight, you will lose.
For in the words of Simón Bolivar,
a people who love their freedom will,
in the end, be free.
And we are united as a continent
to fight for that freedom.
We are one nation under God!
La Gran Colombia!
- El norte! - El norte!
Viva Tavo.
Viva Tavo!
Viva Gran Colombia!
Turn it off.
We must've been hacked.
Comms, ground and air defenses, even our weapons systems.
We're at war.
I have to get back to Fleet Command, get eyes on the battlefield.
Admiral Chandler.
Diaz, is the James still afloat?
Yes, sir!
- Make a hole. I'm goin' back with you! - Yes, sir!
- I'm goin' too! Tell Meylan... - Mike...
I lost my fleet, Tom. It went down on my watch.
If I'm gonna die, I'm goin' down with the ship.
You heard that speech, you know where to start.
We head south.
Look for weapons and fuel. Stay off comms.
I'll be in touch!
I don't hear from you soon, I'm gonna come lookin' for you!
I don't doubt that! You stay safe!
