03x06 - Dog Day

[bunniefuu]

[Indistinct talking in Japanese]

Miller: Psst! Hey.

What?

They're packing up.

And they're taking everything... fire pits, trash, fuel.

What does... What does that mean?

Are they moving us?

Means they're scared.

Means the James is close.

We got to let them know just how close.

Ma'am.

We'll only get one sh*t at this.

You're engineering. You're the most qualified.

Heads up, Frenchie's coming this way!

On y va! Get up!

You.

Time for blood.

The rest of you, you work.

[Grunts]

I got you.

[Grunting]

Spider's a no go.

UAV footage shows extensive fire damage and not a trace of anything manmade.

It looks like Hornet's much too sparse.

Takehaya couldn't hide himself on that island, let alone six prisoners and his boats.

Any updates?

Well, we've just ruled out two of the islands we got from Peng.

UAV is finishing up a sweep of the third.

Seeing scattered vegetation, fresh water, but no signs of human life.

Hang on. There.

What's that?

Wild birds.

There goes option number three.

I'll check in with the helo.

[Radio crackles]

Nomad, Nathan James. What's the status of Dragonfly?

Jesse: Bad news, Nathan James. It's almost completely under water.

How long till we reach Mantis?

At least an hour.

Let's check the footage again, make sure we didn't miss anything.

Hey.

We'll find them.

Takehaya knows we're coming.

The longer we wait, the more time he has to disappear.

They just eliminated the fourth island.

That leaves just the one.

Well, that's assuming we can trust the intel that they got from Peng.

Move it!

Lots more to load onto the boats!

[Grunting and dog barking]

Hey, Toshiro, let me ask you something.

Man to man. Pre-plague, who were you?

I mean, before you became an assh*le.

Always assh*le.

I mean, come on. You must have done something.

Huh?

I was a cook.

I prepare fancy food for fancy Americans in a fancy hotel in Macao.

Everybody love my cooking.

[Panting] 40.

50.

60.

70.

They say to me, "Toshiro, how you cook so well?"

[Chuckles] I laugh.

But I don't tell them the truth.

290.

[Panting]

300.

[Panting]

I never wash my hands after I take a dump.

True story.

[Sighing]

Man: Oy.

[Conversing in Japanese]

[Conversing in Japanese continues]

[Electricity crackles]

[Radio crackles]

Sir! I'm picking up something on HF.

Distress call?

No, sir.

I think maybe someone's putting out what sounds like line voltage on a radio broadcast antenna.

You like fried chicken?

Next time I make special dinner just for you.

Can't wait.

Stop!

Oy.

[Man shouting in Japanese]

Please... I got lost.

They'll punish me.

[Man shouts in Japanese]

[Gasps]

What are you doing?

Helping your wife.

You're letting her work? Pregnant and sick?

Get back to work.

My wife does not need your help.

Signal's emanating from 300 Relative 095 True.

That bearing intersects with only one island, sir...

Kumonosu.

That's not one of the islands from Peng's map.

In fact, it's at least 150 miles outside the search area.

Then Peng was wrong.

Redirect a UAV to the new coordinates.

It's a message from our people.

Or it's a trap.

There's a reason Takehaya's a legend.

Either way that's the place.

Bridge, CIC.

Make course for Kumonosu Island.

[Replaces receiver]

Kumonosu Island.

This is where Captain Chandler believes the pirates are based.

They're certain? They never checked the fifth island.

They're not certain, but confident.

Sir, the VBSS teams are geared up and ready to go.

What are they waiting for?

The official orders from the Commander in Chief.

I want updates every 30 minutes.

Send them in.

Yes, sir.

[Indistinct conversations and chuckling]

Copy that, Nathan James.

We'll expect a status report in a half an hour.

Mark it.

Michener: I can confirm... off the record, of course... that Captain Chandler's no longer in Hong Kong, that he joined the crew of the Nathan James in the South China Sea, and that he's searching for the hostages.

Are they making any progress?

They're engaged in diplomatic initiatives in that regard, yes.

Diplomatic initiatives?

From a guided m*ssile destroyer?

Jacob, who leaked that story to you?

About Captain Chandler aboard the Nathan James.

[Sighs]

Came from one of the regional leaders.

You know I can't say which one.

You realize you're being used, Jacob?

Used and manipulated.

So they're gunning for you.

I thought you said it came from only one of them.

It did.

They all seem to have the same concerns.

They have small concerns, regional concerns.

I'm thinking about the whole country.

You say I'm being used.

I have to wonder by whom.

Everything off the record, no cameras...

It's not exactly what Kara Green promised.

If you can't stick to your end of the deal, I can't be counted on to stick to mine.

We expect the crisis to be resolved in a matter of a few hours.

If you keep your mouth shut till then, you'll be the first member of the press that I speak to.

If not, you'll never have access to this office again.

Any updates on Vulture team?

They've advanced two klicks inland.

So far, no contacts.

T.A.O.?

Negative on surface and subsurface.

There's nothing in the water.

[Radio static, static stops]

Ma'am? The static, it's gone.

[Electricity crackling]

Hai! Wakarimashita!

Alisha: Vulture Team, Nathan James.

Be advised, the signal has stopped.

Proceed with caution.

Tom: Copy, Nathan James.

We've reached the camp perimeter.

Commencing target as*ault.

[Clatter]

Clear!

Clear!

Clear!

Clear!

Vulture Team, we found another hut.

100 meters off the edge of the camp.

Clear.

All these supplies are fresh.

Man: Hey, there's six boxes of rations over here.

[Muffled talking]

Man 2: Why would they leave all this behind?

Yeah, they must have been in a hurry.

Maybe they're still close to camp.

All clear.

Let's check the perimeter.

Clear.

Nathan James, Vulture Team.

Target is secure.

This is definitely the place, but the prisoners are gone.

What the hell is this?

[Door opens]

Our landing team has safely reached the beach.

They found the camp, but there's no sign of the hostages.

Two speeches.

One if we succeed, one if we don't.

First one was easy.

But what do I say if we lose all those people?

Jeffrey...

There's riots in California.

Wilson and Price say they're fending off protests at their power plants, but I'm not even sure they're trying to stop it.

Or they might be inciting the unrest themselves.

Stop. Stop.

They're gonna make it home.

We're gonna get through this.

Tom: Nathan James, this is Vulture Team requesting updated intel from UAV. You see anyone out there?

That's a negative, Vulture Team, but we're still sweeping the island.

Tom.

It's fresh. I'd say bank blade or machete.

Let's go!

This is the way to the docks. Our plan backfired.

We're leaving even sooner.

No, no. No way he'd leave his wife.

[Grunts]

Master Chief, you need help?

I'm fine.

Takehaya, you just took this man's blood.

He needs rest.

You did this to him.

You and your trick with the radio tower.

If he dies, it's your fault.

Keep moving!

[Groans]

They're gone.

[Water dripping]

Don't move!

I need to examine her. She's sick.

Then run a line.

I can't.

The wrong blood type might k*ll her.

Same blood as Kyoko.

That's the only reason he's here... for her.

She doesn't need blood. She needs medicine.

You fix her yesterday.

Does she look fixed?

With malaria, the fevers come in waves.

Without the proper treatment, she might die.

The baby could die.

[g*n cocks]

[Slowly] Give her blood.

[g*nsh*t]

Man: Contact break!

Wallace down! Wallace down!

Damn it! He's dead.

Nathan James, Vulture Team.

Troops in contact 30 Mikes north of camp.

Request support from UAV.

Copy, Vulture Team.

Rerouting to get eyes on your location.

Make the heading 090 and descend 1,000 feet.

Aye, sir.

I've got eyes on Vulture Team.

There's no one else out there.

We got negative contact, Vulture Team.

UAV's detecting no heat signatures within 500 yards of your location.

You're all alone.

How you doing, Diaz?

Almost there, sir.

Hang in there, Master Chief.

Captain, when the time comes, get them to safety, no matter what.

If I can't make it...

You're gonna make it.

[Object slams]

No more talk.

Let them talk.

Doesn't matter now.

Soon it'll be over.

It's not over till we're dead.

Your friends will die, but you will live, and you'll be tied to me for as long as your heart pumps blood.

Woman: Vulture Team, we've increased the UAV search radius.

[g*nsh*t]

Butler's down!

Set perimeter!

What the hell? We just cleared that area!

How the hell did they get so close?

They're picking us off one by one.

[Rustling]

Aah!

[Groans]

Son of a bitch.

That's how they're getting the drop on us.

Be advised, the pirates are using tunnels.

They're camouflaged by foliage.

Split up and take them out.

[expl*si*n]

[Man grunting]

[expl*si*n]

Sounds like bad news.

And you're looking a little weak.

Get up!

Everyone, on your feet!

[Explosions in distance]

[Men conversing in Japanese]

[Panting]

Hayakushiro.

Free as a bird, sir.

Aah!

[Yells]

[Yelling in Japanese and grunting]

[Bones cr*ck]

Danny: We got two tunnels neutralized on the right flank.

Copy.

Tom?

Captain.

Diaz.

I got Diaz on the main trail.

Where you coming from, Ray? Who's alive?

This way.

[All yelling in Japanese]

Man: Hai, Kancho.

[Men conversing in Japanese]

Danny: Sir, we've reached the northwest perimeter. We are hearing hostiles and hostages.

Copy that. Approaching from the south.

Standby for smoke.

[Men arguing in Japanese]

Man: I'll go after them, but first things first, I want to k*ll the son of a bitch!

He k*lled one of ours.

What's right is right.

No. Don't. You son of a bitch! No!

Do it.

No!

[Groans]

[Shouting in Japanese]

[Machine-g*n fire]

Aah!

[Groans]

[Shouting continues]

Man: Nothing's visible through that smoke, sir.

Come left to 2-4-0.

Elevate to get an overview of the island.

Aye, sir.

Aah!

[Machine-g*n fire]

[Grunting]

[Both grunting]

[Groans]

[Yelling]

[Straining]

[Panting]

I've got five down.

Wolf: Four more over here.

Set perimeter.

Mike: That's all of them!

Mike!

Except the leader.

Takehaya? Yeah.

He's the last one.

Must have escaped through the woods.

Told you I was planning a visit.

Head count! Who's up?

Cooper... up!

Garnett, Jeter... up!

Man: Fiores, Swain... up!

Green... up.

Hume... up!

Diaz... up!

Who's got Cruz?!

He's down!

Cruz is down!

Hey.

Hey. You're all right. You're fine.

It's nothing. It's not that bad.

Okay?

You remember Gitmo? Huh?

We got you out of that, right?

[Chuckles] We got you out of that.

Just like Gitmo.

Badass.

Tell Manny and Christopher... their uncle was a badass.

[Breathing stops]

A bunch of them had the virus.

For some reason our blood helps them.

They didn't get the cure?

No. Takehaya thinks it's poison.

America used it to wipe out Japan.

Makes no sense.

Tell me about it.

He left Miller and Rios back at the camp.

The wife's blood bank.

We already cleared the camp. There was no one there.

Unless they're underground.

What?

He's got tunnels. That's how they ambushed us.

Maybe there's an entrance back at the camp we didn't see.

[Radio chatter]

[Computer key clicks rapidly]

We've just lost communication with the UAV.

What happened?

I don't know, sir.

Attempting to reestablish uplink.

Get everyone else to the extract point, then back to the ship.

You'll come back for us.

Green, Taylor!

You're with me.

I'm not leaving without our boys.

We need that vest.

Danny: Fiores, you get him to the RHIB as soon as you can.

We leave no man behind.

Fiores: I got it.

[Grunts]

Okay.

I rebooted it three times. It doesn't make any sense.

Unless it's not the uplink.

Isolate and play back the last 20 frames of the UAV footage.

That gray area.

Lieutenant Burk is right... this is no uplink issue.

Could Takehaya have sh*t it down?

An RPG could do it if fired from the right location, but it'd have to be a hell of a dead sh*t.

Whatever it was came from bearing 050 relative.

Here.

On the other side of the island.

There's nothing there but beach.

The bogy didn't come from the island.

It came from the water.

Takehaya has a ship strong enough to take out a UAV?

There's a storage shed a couple hundred meters down this trail.

[Machine-g*n fire]

Cover! Take cover!

[Shouting in foreign language]

Who are these guys?!

Chinese Secret Service!

What the hell are they doing here?

Watch out! Six o'clock!

Aah!

In the hooch! On me!

Ah!

[Shouting in Chinese]

Go! Go!

Go, go, go, go, go!

All teams, be advised, MSS is on the ground.

The Chinese are on the island.

It's a damn Chinese ship!

Bridge, X.O. set Emcon Condition Alpha. Radio silence.

Vulture Team, setting Emcon Condition Alpha.

Keeping open channels bridge to bridge.

[Machine-g*n fire, shouting in Chinese]

Nathan James, what's the status of Cobra Team?

The exfil was successful, and they're en route back to the ship.

Working on an extract plan for you.

We have to give Vulture Team some backup, get a QRF team out there.

The bird can be at the camp in five minutes.

You just make sure Jesse flies low enough to stay out of that ship's radar.

Yes, ma'am.

They're only 10 minutes late for their check-in.

Anything?

No, sir.

They're still not responding to our hails.

[Machine-g*n fire, shouting in Chinese]

I got eight approaching from the left flank!

[Shouting continues]

You picked a hell of a vacation spot!

Rooms ain't much! Food's top notch!

Aah!

[Grunting]

[Machine-g*n fire]

[Groans]

[Screams]

[Panting]

[Helicopter approaches]

[Shouting continues]

Nice timing, Nomad. How's it look out there?

Trying to clear you a path to the north.

Check your nine o'clock!

I'm coming around.

Bad news, Vulture Team.

You got more hostiles approaching your whiskey... a lot of them!

[Shouting in Chinese]

They're using the trees for cover!

[Machine-g*n fire]

I'm losing them in the brush!

This is as close as I can get you!

Then take us higher.

Vulture Team, focus your firepower on the wave from the north.

We'll take care of the rest.

[Shouting continues]

If we take a position that creates the right angle for the five-inch, Nathan James can take out the east flank.

Once they lock onto our coordinates, we'll have plenty of time to scram.

Got it!

Nathan James, request you target our location and prepare to fire the five-inch.

Copy that, Nomad.

g*ns, T.A.O..

Slew EOSS and get a bearing and range on the helo.

g*ns, aye.

[Whirring]

I'm out!

Nearly Winchester here, too.

And here I thought we were in trouble.

[Chuckles]

[More shouting]

Vulture Team, Nathan James.

Preparing to fire on your whiskey.

You need to clear south-southwest.

Do you copy?

That way. That way.

We copy, Nathan James, but we're gonna need a minute.

Roger. Standing by.

[Banging]

Nishioka: I got the helo. Calculating f*ring solution now.

If they can hold steady, I can find a target and they can get out of the way.

I can't lock on. The shift is too strong.

Nomad, we can not lock target.

If you bank hard from a hover, how far can you get in 6.4 seconds?

50, 60 yards, maybe.

Nathan James.

Take your visual on us. We will hold position. Give us a count.

You fire, we dive!

That's too dangerous.

Nomad, request approved.

Expect incoming on my mark.

T.A.O., request batteries release on helo's position.

Vulture Team, are you clear?

It's now or never, sir!

Start the countdown. Go, go, go, go, go!

Five... four...

You bank hard, girl.

Two...

Batteries release, k*ll target with g*ns!

sh*t over!

sh*t out!

Hang on!

[Screaming]

[Helicopter blades whirring]

[Tom coughing]

You all right?

[Groans] Yeah.

Mike. Mike!

You okay?

Never better.

Come on.

[Grunting]

We're all good here, sir.

[Panting]

It's quiet.

Kilo is clear!

Target confirmed.

Enemy appears to be neutralized. Nice sh**ting, Nathan James!

Green, Taylor... secure the camp, find Miller and Rios.

We're going after Takehaya.

Yes, sir.

At the last point of contact, Nathan James was here.

There are at least a dozen reasons why we might not have heard from them.

Most likely, they went to Emcon.

Without telling us?

It's protocol, in the case of imminent thr*at.

[Chatter]

[Groans]

[Speaking Japanese]

Aah! [Groans]

[g*n cocks]

Stop!

I don't care how much she needs your blood.

I will k*ll you if you make one more stupid move.

[Groaning]

[Groaning stops]

You okay, doc?

I'm fine.

Miller! Miller!

Miller!

Whoa! Hold!

Leave! Now!

Let him go It's over, Takehaya.

What was it you said?

"It's not over till I'm dead."

That can be arranged.

Take him down! Don't worry about me, just take the sh*t!

You don't want to die now.

You have too much to live for.

Lieutenant, where are we?

Based on the trajectory of the m*ssile before it hit the UAV, we believe the Chinese ship is loitering here... on the northeast side of the island.

Probably one of their destroyers.

You pick up any signals on SLICK 32?

No, sir. So far, they've been quiet.

Should we call St. Louis?

We can't break Emcon.

Not until we're out of their engagement zone.

Tell the bridge to head South for open water at flank speed.

Aye, sir.

Good job today, Lieutenant.

Thank you, sir.

Master Chief...

Hi. I'm Sasha Cooper.

How you doing?

[Groaning]

How many we lose looking for us?

Kudelski in the minefield.

On the island...

Wallace, Butler, Cruz.

All my fault.

Never should have gone in that nightclub.

There were coming for us, Mike, no matter what we did.

Who?

The Chinese, Vietnamese, Takehaya?

What the hell's going on, Tom?

That's what we're going to find out.

Get some rest.

When you're ready, ship's yours.

[Sniffs]
