Previously on SEAL Team...
Senior Chief Ashland Spenser.
You know, if I was so terrible, why is my only son
spending his life following in my footsteps?
Im not following in your footsteps.
Im erasing them.
You deserve someone
that will embrace your life.
I don't think that I can be with you anymore.
Padre,
give him his last rites.
I cant.
Hes dead.
Adam was killed in action.
Gave his life to save his brothers.
Last time we were here, when we, uh...
That was a fleeting moment.
Fleeting...
Sonny.
Yeah.
Not often you find
Jeff Walker outside the Beltway. Whats the occasion?
Wanted to make sure were on the same page before you push
this mission to the assault force.
God, I don't like the sound of that.
Farid Dahir, sex trafficker with ties to Turkish organized crime,
pops up on the grid every once in a while.
Has a nice little business for himself selling women online.
And? And this.
My name is Jenna Robertson.
Im from the United States of America.
Im 22 years old.
I left my country by my own choice.
I weigh 52 kilograms...
Jihad Jenna. All-American Midwestern teenager,
radicalized online, disappears from home two years ago,
shows up in Syria an ISIS mujahideen bride.
And became an instant fixture in their propaganda.
Thats her.
Fighter she married, Abu Rakim.
Hes one of six battlefield commanders still operational.
So howd she end up for sale by a Turkish trafficker?
Unknown. What we do know is an account linked to Dahir
posted a sizable incoming wire transfer yesterday.
Dahir found a buyer.
Who?
Probably her husband.
If she escaped, ISIL cant have Jenna
ending up in Western hands.
The intel she has is bad enough,
but its the PR angle thatll really hurt:
"Jihad Jenna disavows the caliphate."
The handoff is set to go down in 24 hours.
You are not seriously considering a rescue op.
Not considering it.
Missions already been authorized.
Jenna spent the past two years in the highest levels
of an unrecognized enemy nation state.
Shes a treasure trove of intel.
So is her husband Rakim.
Why not just go after him?
I mean, Jennas a woman. In that world,
theres no way she would have
access to the kind of intel youre after.
This smells like politics.
Were rescuing a young woman who made a terrible mistake
and needs the help of her country.
Oh, my...
Whatever intel
or optics come along with that will be well-received.
You don't believe that.
I don't need to.
And neither do you.
Just prep your team.
In the end, its a kinetic op,
just like any other.
Okay...
Yeah. Yeah, hang on.
Ash?
Clay.
So what happened to, uh, Stella?
What do you mean? Who says anything happened?
Well, I don't know, just, the general lack
of anything female in this place.
We split up.
Oh.
Thats too bad. I liked her.
I suppose its better it happened now,
before some nasty divorce, or...
Kids to cramp my style.
Thats not what I meant.
So what are you doing here?
Just wanted to see you.
Well, theres a first for everything, I guess, right?
Clay. Hey.
Youre my son.
Im proud of you.
I keep tabs on everything you do. All right?
Dont think I don't know that it was you, okay.
It was Brave Team who handled that mess over at Saudi
a couple months ago.
Maybe.
Maybe. BS.
Listen, I got a meeting with my publisher in an hour.
I was hoping we could get a beer later.
Okay? I need to run something by you.
Get a beer later?
Yeah, lets, lets get a beer later, Dad. Thatd be good.
You know? Maybe we can toss the old pigskin around?
Itd be fun. Itd be really fun.
Youre my son, okay?
Now, I know that I wasnt the worlds greatest dad,
but Id like us to be closer.
Yeah, well, you know, it doesn't really happen that way...
Yeah, I realize that, Clay!
But Im just looking for a chance to work it out.
"An oasis in the midst of rolling hills,
"Bennington is a refuge
from the rigors of modern life."
Okay.
That a college or a day spa?
Shut up.
Maybe its a cult?
How do you know what a cult is?
The Internet.
It is, um, "bastion for the next generation of trailblazers."
Trailblazer? Yeah, not-not sure thats me.
Eh, Adam Seavers kid
is gonna be whatever she wants to be, Hannah.
- Thanks, Mr. Hayes. - You got it.
Oh. Hi, Mom.
Hey, let me grab my bag, okay?
- Hey, Victoria. - Hey.
Did they study at all?
Um... I have no idea.
But, you know what? They were laughing, so...
Hmm.
...thats all that matters, right?
Theyre lucky to have each other.
Yeah.
Can you believe
they're both gonna leave home soon?
Yeah, out in the real world, uh...
You don't think Emmas ready for it?
You know, I was meaning to call you.
Um, Ive been going to a support group.
Maybe you should come to one.
A support group.
Yeah.
No, thats, uh...
really not my thing.
I figured.
But it might surprise you.
Why is that?
Well, if anything else,
its right next to a diner,
so, um, I get to grief eat.
They got beer there?
They do.
Beer, I like. You know?
The whole grief counseling thing, Im not, uh,
its not really me.
Yeah.
Im more of a, uh,
a grin and Ill have another beer kind of a guy.
Right?
Yeah.
Okay.
- You take care, Jason. - Yeah.
Yeah, see you.
Did you get any work done, ladies?
Yeah, a little bit. A little bit.
Pastor, I know. Weve just been real busy.
No, Naima didn't tell me. It mustve slipped her mind.
Yeah, y-you know what? Um, can I get back to you?
Okay.
All right. You, too.
Hello from under the bus.
Its Pastor Mel, like...
asking about dates for the baptism.
I didn't have an answer.
How about an answer for
me?
I mean, youve been ducking it for a while.
Whats on your mind?
I havent been ducking a damn thing, Naima.
W-What am I supposed to do, just walk around
telling you whats on my mind every minute?
Huh?
Not asking you to do that.
Just asking about the baptism.
Baby, I-I, look, Im-Im sorry.
Okay?
I just don't know what...
I don't know what to tell the church right now.
Im not ready to tell them anything.
Hey, theres no rush for the baptism.
I'll even take the blame.
You all right?
Yeah. Fine.
There you are.
Ooh...
Oh, youre awake!
Oh! Damn, Davis.
Man, you scared the hell out of me.
Oh, Im sorry.
Ugh, made a mess here.
Breakfast time.
Yeah? Yeah.
All right. What we having?
Oh, I don't know. What are you making?
Okay, you got to let my processors wake up
before I can construct a meal for such fine company.
Well, okay, well, start on processing cause Im hungry.
You gonna remember to take your hat home this time?
Do you know that its bad luck
to separate a Texan from his hat before noon?
- Its bad luck? Okay, how? - Uh-huh.
Well, the last guy it happened to,
his horse got shingles. Yep.
And thats actually a real thing. I didn't know that.
Okay, and what happened to the last girl?
Well,
a womans never worn it before.
What are you staring at?
Im just enjoying this moment.
Yeah, well...
Mm. Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Im gonna take a shower.
Okay. Okay.
Hey, Davis.
My hat does not go in the shower.
Yeah.
Whew. All right, who wants, uh...
sunny-side up for breakfast?
Hey, Davis, where you keep the, uh, cooking utensils
and hot sauce and stuff?
We will bathe in the blood of your soldiers.
Praise be...
So, let me get this straight. Okay?
Were being asked to rescue some addled teenager
whose ideal spa treatment is to soak in American blood.
Thats the mission, Sonny. You don't have to like it.
Well, just for the record, I don't.
As far as Im concerned, she can rot in hell.
Politically, Jennas choice to join ISIS
is being viewed as a childhood mistake.
And her role in their propaganda as coerced.
A childhood mistake?
She was 19 when she married Rakim.
Perfect age for online radicalization.
Her story fits the profile
of dozens of women.
Youre patronizing her because shes a woman.
Youd never offer that excuse if she were a man.
I might be rationalizing it for myself, sure.
I was 19 when I enlisted. I knew what I was doing.
She did, too.
Maybe who she was isnt who she is.
Oh, surprise, surprise.
Gandhi over here thinks that
Miss Death-To-America has seen the light.
Theres dozens of Americans held captive around the world.
Were not going after them.
But salvation comes in the form
of Bravo Team kicking down the door
of a woman who betrayed us all? Why?
Why? Cause Jenna Robertsons name is on the list. Right?
If the intel supports it, then it supports it.
Right? Debate clubs over.
This operation walks the line between politics
and our military strategy in the region.
Whether or not she has actionable intel,
whether or not shes guilty of treason,
the important thing is that the papers read...
"Jihad Jenna Disavows ISIS."
And that cant happen unless we bring her home.
All right, you heard her.
Grab your kits.
Wheels up in four hours.
Dahirs holding Jenna in Al-Hasakah,
200 kilometers inside Syria.
Al-Hasakah? This place is a dump, man.
Its been bombed to hell and back.
Oh, yeah, everyone from ISIS to the Kurds
have occupied it at one time or another.
Nothing left but scorched earth.
Its Russian-controlled airspace, right? Right.
Exactly why were gonna HAHO in to the DZ,
five klicks east of the target.
Not much of an offset.
I mean, they could easily have patrols
inside of five klicks.
Whats the closest QRF, Davis?
A Marine Corps infantry unit,
70 kilometers north, in Qamishli.
They have rotary wing assets
that will double as your extraction platform.
Russian airspace, so no ISR.
Not exactly.
This is the future.
This is a next-generation prototype of the Raven UAV.
Brock, don't touch that.
Its got an extended battery bank
and streaming capabilities.
I think I found one of those
at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box once.
It may not look like much, but it is gonna give us eyes.
So, once youre on the ground, launch it when you land.
Then I will take control via satellite
and provide ISR for your infil and action on target.
All you boys got to do is get it up.
You think you can do that?
Oh... Oh, zing.
Thats why they call me Full Metal.
Zing!
All right, all right, all right.
Lets lock it up.
Whats the target structure?
Its a local mausoleum.
Its a large building for such a small force,
but we cant afford to leave a bigger footprint on this one.
What do you have on the actual target?
Last satellite pass indicates four to six
fighting-age males moving off and on the target
throughout the day with different bags and vehicles.
No sign of Miss Robertson.
Armed?
Appear to be.
Remember, this is a contested area
inside a full-blown war zone with zero governing authority.
Dont assume anything out there.
Middle of no-mans-land?
Limited assets, intel and overwatch?
I-I got to say it feels off.
I mean, for all we know, Jenna could still be radicalized.
Maybe shes looking for a repeat of the Echo Team ambush.
And this place, this is the perfect spot for it.
All right, look, its a long flight,
so what should we do, Blackburn?
Lets get some rest.
If it was my choice, we wouldnt be
prosecuting this operation at all.
Well, if it was my choice, Id rather be...
be ice-skating with the boys,
and afterwards, throwing down some Ronas.
I don't like it.
What don't you like?
Politically motivated missions never end well
because they generally begin with incomplete intel packages.
Rays right.
Theres nothing to indicate that Jenna isnt a hostage,
but nothing indicates that shes not still loyal to ISIS.
Mandy, were about to jump out of this plane very soon,
so unless you have something concrete to scrub this mission,
its business as usual.
Infil. Hit the target, mission complete.
Exfil. Easy day.
Okay, Im just saying the intel is incomplete.
Be careful.
All right.
One hour out.
Its about time to get jocked up.
Time to get jocked up.
Havoc, this is 1. Pass Travis.
Thats a good copy, Bravo 1.
I copy Travis. Havoc out.
Havoc, this is 1.
We got a clean visual on the target building.
Good copy, Bravo 1.
You are clear to launch the UAV.
Havoc, this is Bravo 4.
UAV is up in the air.
Youre cleared hot to take over control.
Copy, Bravo 4. Stand by.
I have control of the drone.
Havoc, this is 1. I need an updated sitrep
on the target building.
Target is clean right now, Bravo 1.
Copy that. Lets move.
Bravo 1, we are picking up
a single heat signature in the second floor
of the target building.
Could be our HVT.
Copy that.
This is it.
Do it.
Go. Move.
Move. Moving.
No sign of vest or belt.
Were Americans. Identify yourself.
Jackpot.
Havoc, its 1. Pass Crockett.
Cut her loose.
Ray, take the gag out.
Hey, shut her up!
Hold her down! Shut up!
Dont let her move.
What do you got?
Shes wired.
Dont move her.
Talk to me, Kairos.
Kairos, talk to me.
She moves, we die.
Kairos, why didn't it detonate?
No idea.
I got three 152-mil shells wired together.
Kill radius is this room and half the building.
Well, if that lines the trigger,
lets cut it and get the hell out of Dodge.
Not that simple.
Current could be running through this wire.
You cut the circuit, it detonates.
How long to disarm it?
I cant say.
This arduino and power source are linked
to a blasting cap in the nose of each artillery round.
If she moves, breaks the circuit, boom.
All stations, this is 1.
We got an EOD situation.
Hostage is hooked up to multiple UXOs.
We cannot move her without detonation.
Targets not secure.
Bravo 1, this is Havoc Base.
I copy your EOD situation.
Be advised, you don't have much time till daylight.
Copy that.
Fill us in as it progresses. Havoc out.
Thanks a pantload there, Lassie,
but we already fell in the damn well.
What can we do?
EODs on it. Dont worry about it.
You two, pull security on the north side.
Check. Were on it.
How the hell didn't the Agency catch this?
You know we cant predict what happens once they're on target.
Yeah, well, you can vet it well enough
to keep my men from walking
straight into an ambush. Suns coming up.
Time on targets
gonna be way too long. Davis, spin up the QRF.
Monero. On it.
Had to be spotters watching us come in, gonna be wondering
why that bomb did not detonate.
I know.
Only a matter of time before they show up.
Were fish in a barrel down here.
I know. Bravo 6, this is 1.
I need you to run external security.
Check. External security. Were on it.
Take the gag out of her mouth.
Dont move.
Listen to me,
Abu Rakim, where is he?
I-I-I don't know. I don't know.
Yes, you do. Youre a part of this.
No, no, no.
No, Im not. Im... No. Rakims a monster.
I ran from him.
Yeah, after running right to him.
No, Im-Im not a part of this.
Yes, you are. Youre the reason why were here.
Im sorry. Im so sorry.
I-I didn't know there was a bomb.
I didn't know there was a bomb.
Im not part of this. You have to believe me.
Stop.
Were not here to believe you. Were here to take you home.
Bravo 4, I got one fighter moving from the south
to our southeast coming toward us.
Check.
I see him. Hes armed.
Havoc Base, this is Bravo 4.
One fighter down on the east side of the target.
Bravo 6 to Havoc Base.
Requesting an updated ISR sitrep on the area
due east of the target building.
Copy, Bravo 6. Coming around
for a wider pass.
You don't have to hold me down. I wont move.
Like you didn't move when we came in?
Yeah, you seemed pretty eager to move then.
I was scared.
Uh-huh.
I didn't know who you were.
Yeah.
I didn't know that they rigged this.
When your pals come in here and put a bullet right through you,
you aint gonna get the whole martyr afterlife package.
What do lady bombers get anyway?
Always wondered that.
Sonny. Disengage.
I was just about to do that anyway.
Shes not going anywhere. Pull security at the doorway.
Roger that.
Kairos, talk to me.
Whats going on?
Working the problem.
Bravo 6,
we are registering two heat signatures
northeast of your position, 200 meters out.
Havoc Base, I got nothing.
Theyre one block out, 6.
Closing in from the northeast.
See them as soon as they cross the MSR.
Havoc, this is Bravo 4.
Nothing from my angle.
4, Im gonna move to the northeast corner
to get a better look.
Check. I'll hold here.
What is that?
Thats a radio.
Hes a spotter.
Theyre calling the cavalry in.
Havoc Base to Bravo 1, were seeing an enemy technical
with a heavy machine gun and at least
six armed fighters two mikes out,
approaching your location from the east.
Good copy, Havoc. IED initiated ambush with follow-up assault.
These guys know what they're doing.
Bravo 6, youre gonna see em first.
Good copy, Bravo 1. Im on it.
I'll take "Jihadi Honey Traps" for 800, Alex.
Kairos, talk to me.
Five, ten minutes maybe.
Bravo 6 to Bravo 4, I got a vehicle
moving toward us right here.
Its an up-armored VBIED. Smoke it!
Trent, I cant get a bullet in there.
After all these years, finally.
Yeah, buddy.
Uh, rocket out.
What the hell just happened, Bravo 6?
Enemy just detonated a VBIED
about 30 meters from our egress point.
1, this is 4.
Correction.I just detonated an enemy VBIED
30 meters from our egress point.
Okay. Check. Hold security, and, uh, were almost done here.
Negative. I cant see anything
up here with all this smoke.
All right. Check.
Get back to the first deck.
I'll meet you at the main entrance.
Okay, swami boy, lets go. Storms coming.
Working the problem.
Work faster, hippie. Work it like a vegan burrito.
Kairos?
Five minutes, at most.
Were good here, J. Go.
The minute its safe to go, get her out fast,
meet us at the main entrance. You got it?
Affirmative.
Sonny, hold the room.
Brock, Full Metal, collapse your position,
meet me at the front entrance.
Bravo 1, be advised,
you have approximately ten enemy combatants
converging on your position.
Understood.
Bravo 1, you need to move and move fast. QRF is inbound.
You need to get your guys out of there.
Hey, hey.
Hey, youre gonna get out of here, okay?
Youre gonna get out of here.
I don't deserve to.
I don't deserve to get out of here.
Well, I do. Hmm?
You have to stay calm, okay?
Shh...
Im so sorry. Im so sorry for everything that I did.
Im so sorry.
I didn't know about this, I swear, I swear.
Jenna, Jenna, Jenna.
I didn't know.
I believe you.
Okay?
You do? I do.
Why?
A feeling.
Thats all?
Thats it.
Shh... Look at me.
Just meet your eyes with mine and breathe.
Youre gonna be okay.
1, this is 4. Its getting too hot up here.
Im collapsing security to your position.
Good copy, Bravo 4. Meet you at main entrance.
Move it.
Move! Spenser, you good?
Yeah, yeah, Im solid. Got contacted on my way down here.
Theyre coming through the south entrance,
mustve been when we were shooting that VBIED.
Yeah, they're coming through like rats.
All right, look, well stronghold our position here
until Kairos finishes nerfing those bombs,
and then well go home.
Bravo 1, how far out from exfil are you?
Were close. QRF?
Theyre moving as fast as they can.
Right now were looking at five mikes out.
Jenna, I get up, youre gonna stay still, right?
Youre praying, arent you?
No.
No, I havent prayed in a while.
Will you pray for me?
The Lord is my shepherd.
I shall not want. He maketh me lie down in green pastures.
He leadeth me beside still waters.
If were planning to shoot our way out of here,
were gonna need some more guns online, you know that.
Kairos, how long? I need all my shooters down here.
Kairos, how long?
Patience is a virtue.
Not a Texan one.
Moment of truth.
Thats it?
Thats it.
Damn it, Hurt Locker,
I couldve flipped that switch myself.
You kidding me?
Yup, cut her loose.
All right, boys. Lets move.
Come on.
You good to go?
Never more than right now.
Get down!
An RPG-7
wont arm under 100 meters.
You can all breathe again. Lets go!
Grenade!
Trent, tourniquet.
Okay. Hey, hey.
Calm down. Listen, Jenna.
Looks like it didn't hit an artery, okay?
Youre gonna be fine.
It did hit your leg, but it didn't go through.
Now youre gonna feel some pressure.
Hold on.
Bravo 1, be advised.
You have two enemy technical vehicles
outside the target building.
We got to take out that Dishka!
We got to wait for them to reload!
Ray, stay with the hostage.
Copy.
Sonny, give us a good burst on our way out.
Go!
Hey. Prep a frag.
On your mark.
Move, move!
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
Lets clean this out.
Lets do it.
Cease fire! Cease fire!
Lets get out of here.
Bravo 1.
QRF and exfil platform are inbound.
What is the status on the hostage?
Havoc, stand by one.
Bravo 2, whats your sitrep?
Shes gonna be fine.
Targets secure. Get us home.
Copy that.
Lets go. Lets go!
Cheers to that.
Hey.
Hmm?
Whats that?
The reason were alive.
Thought the circuit board was part of the bomb.
It was.
This a second arduino.
A fail-safe.
A trap on a trap.
But its faulty. Look.
One tiny wire.
Ive never seen anything quite like that.
By any definition, a miracle, man.
Maybe.
Or maybe whoever built it got sloppy.
Oh, come on now.
Yeah, maybe...
maybe it got broke on instillation.
Maybe... maybe its just dumb luck.
Not everything is more than it seems, Kairos.
Hey, but hey.
Either way...
thanks.
Yeah.
Walking my team into a setup
with a half-baked intel package
just so you could put a notch on your belt?
I don't give a damn about seniority, Jeff.
Someone is gonna answer for this.
Okay, well, I hope whoever that was deserved it.
More than deserved.
Jason, Im sorry.
CIA, we...
We
missed something on this.
Well, the intel wasnt totally wrong.
I mean, Jenna was there, so...
Yeah, sitting on a bomb.
Well, you can never really know
whats around every corner, now, can you?
Well, look, Im-Im sorry.
This isnt like you.
I know that you were shaky...
before this whole mission started and all,
but look... got the job done, right?
Everybodys alive.
It was a good day.
Easy day.
So I hear they serve beer here.
Jason. Hey.
Yeah.
You missed the meeting.
Oh, thank God.
Last thing I want to do is sit there and...
Thank you.
Can I get a beer? Well, unless you
- want to be alone, I can... - No.
No, stay.
- Staying. - Good.
Good.
Did you just get back from somewhere?
Right. Dirt under the fingernails,
a little rough around the edges, huh?
Hmm. Its just a...
a certain kind of tired in your eyes.
Right, you would know.
What I hated most about, uh, when Adam would get spun up...
it wasnt that he was gone, it was that...
when he got back, he couldnt, uh...
...he couldnt tell me about it.
Thanks.
Lets just say, um...
...someone made a mistake a few years ago.
When she was really young.
It was pretty big.
Can I ask you a question?
Yeah.
You trust your daughter Hannah?
Trust her? Like...
with my car, or...?
No, I mean trust her.
Like, uh, with boys and drugs.
In college, that whole thing?
They have to grow up sometime.
And... they have to make
their own decisions and they have to make their own mistakes.
Huh. Right.
Emma does, too.
Yeah, I-I know that.
I just don't... I don't know how to let her, um...
I just don't know.
You know? I know.
Yeah.
I trust Hannah.
Mm-hmm.
I trust her because...
because shes still Adams daughter.
And Emma is still
your daughter.
Yeah, she is.
Thats what scares me.
Hey, I didn't know you were still here.
I figured Id grab the last two pair of decent socks.
You should order more before you leave us, Officer Lisa Davis.
Not sure its got a ring to it, one that I like anyway.
How did...?
Im sorry.
Look, I was trying to find a way to tell you.
Telling the truth hard to figure?
Come on, its not like I was lying.
Thats exactly what it was.
No, actually, it wasnt.
Look, Sonny, since we...
Hey, we should talk about this.
No, we shouldn't.
All right, you just got to do what you got to do,
and thats leave.
Truth is, you were right,
it was a bad idea from the start.
Okay, so, lets just keep it professional
till you leave Bravo Team.
You know, when I said we should have a beer,
I meant a couple days ago.
I got busy.
Hey, can we get a couple more?
Spin up? You all right?
Yeah, still breathing.
Cheers to that.
So...
My new book is about finished.
We think its gonna be bigger than the first one.
I was kind of hoping maybe you would read the manuscript.
Youve always been good with words.
Sure.
Okay.
I got to take this. Its my publisher.
Hey, can you, uh, can you turn this up?
How would you describe that job?
Team.
My next book focuses a great deal on that,
and the missions. The operations that nobody knows about.
Youd be surprised how often we hear of SEAL missions
and we don't even know it.
For example, just a couple of months ago, Shia extremists
threatened to poison the water supply of Saudi Arabia,
and it was the SEALs who solved that problem.
How do you know?
I have a firsthand account from a SEAL who was there.
