04x10 - A Question of Honor

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on SEAL Team...

RAY: HVT's name is Yassine Kassen.

French-Algerian, known in jihadi
circles as "Raqqa Jacques".

It's the same guy who tortured Ray.

Then why'd you keep it from me?

I'm squared away, so I do not
need you playing hero.

You can't tell me you don't want
to take this guy down hard.

Vengeance? I don't want
to be the guy chasing that.

(MUFFLED g*n sh*ts)

SALAZAR: Master Chief Hayes,
I'm NCIS Agent Salazar.


I'm placing you into custody.

♪♪

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Is there a chance Jason
committed a w*r crime?

We'd all know if he did.

Seeing him in those cuffs,

after all he's sacrificed...

Got to be a mistake.

- Any news?
- Not yet.

Waiting on Soto to, uh, brief us.

I just can't even imagine
what Jason's being accused of.

Things went sideways in Jordan,

but nothing that would amount to this.

Surveillance op wasn't
supposed to go kinetic.

Everything was clean on the op.

There's no reason he'd be answering

for anything we did over there.

(DOOR OPENS)

Finally, some answers.

No answers. Just updates.

Bravo is officially undeployable

for the duration of
Jason's investigation.

What is he accused of?

A JAG will contact you to
schedule your depositions.

You'll find out more details then.

In the meantime,

Command has issued a no-contact order.

You are to stay away from each other

and from Jason.

Anyone gonna tell me
what the deal is here?

I know as little as you, Master Chief.

I received a call at home

instructing me to return to base,

- so here I am.
- (SIGHS) Yeah, well, thanks for being here.

My apologies, Captain
Lindell. I was detained.

LINDELL: Master Chief, this is

Lieutenant Commander Flores, a Navy JAG.

He's here to read your charges.

FLORES: Master Chief Hayes,

you're accused of unlawfully
k*lling Yazeed Nafal...

- Who?
- ... sh**ting with lethal force an unarmed Jordanian civilian

while on a mission to
the nation of Jordan.

That didn't happen.

FLORES: For failure to ensure
the target was armed

before the use of
lethal force as required

under the Standing Rules of Engagement,

you are charged with violating
UCMJ Article ,

involuntary manslaughter.

I did not sh**t an unarmed man.

FLORES: You have the
right to remain silent.

- JASON: Okay, this is ridiculous.
- I advise you

to review your rights
before you discard them,

Master Chief.

Your confinement order.

- Excuse me?
- LINDELL: You'll be assigned a JAG

to represent you... in the meantime,

I am obligated to confine
you to the brig

for the duration of the investigation.

♪♪

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Master Chief Hayes,

I'm Lieutenant Commander Williams,

the JAG assigned to your defense.

You know what, I've been confined

in here for almost a week now.

- Forget where your office is?
- My apologies.

- Navy bureaucracy at its finest.
- No rush.

Just my freedom at stake here.

Just your freedom at stake, "ma'am".

Have a seat.

I've read up on your
career, Master Chief.

Very impressive record.

So hopefully, after reading that,

it's clear to you that I'm innocent.

All that's clear

is this case is extremely complicated.

Oh, there's nothing
complicated about it.

- How's that?
- I've seen this

outside the wire all the time:
bad guys accuse Americans

of doing something...
they want a payday.

Sure, that's taken place

in Afghanistan and Iraq, but...

Jordan's a staunch American ally.

Different people, same shakedown.

Jordanians are just trying to leverage

the situation.

Interesting theory.

Jordan's upset the U.S. sent operators

into its territory without permission,

and you're the pound of
flesh the U.S. is offering

to appease Jordan?

And once they get what they want,

I'll be clear of all charges.

Have you considered that what
the Jordanians might want is you?

They have nothing on me.

And it's up to you to keep it that way.

Rest assured I'm working
every angle on your behalf.

And I have secured your
release from confinement.

You won't be able to
be around your team,

- but you can go about your routine.
- The team is my routine.

Don't leave Virginia Beach.

Can I trust you to obey these
guidelines, Master Chief?

CLAY: I would have told
you sooner. I just...

I wanted to wait till I
had all the Intel first.

It's a lot to process.

Jason k*lling an unarmed man.

All those years, all those ops,

a frogman like him wouldn't
make a mistake like that.

Of course.

It's just so ugly.

You know, Ray and Naima say

that honesty is how they make it work,

but maybe I shouldn't have
painted such a clear picture.

We're supposed to be talking
about you moving in.

You know, furniture,
not Bravo's problems.

This couch has been with me
since I joined the teams.

I think maybe it's time

we should think about
getting a new one, huh?

It is not lost on me,

what you guys do.

But I would much rather face the truth

than have my feelings protected.

That's how I want it to be.

(WHISPERS): Good.

But, you know, the last time around...

you really struggled with the reality

of what happens outside the wire.

Yeah, I just need to know
I'm covered, is all.

Can't we meet somewhere off base?

I'd rather not be seen
near JAG's office.

Roger that.

All right, see you then.

What do you need a lawyer for?

(CHUCKLES): Ah. Nothing.

Just, uh...

the op in Jordan attracted
a little scrutiny.

- That's all.
- The kind of scrutiny

that gets an article in the Navy Post?

Since when do you read the Navy Post?

Since Jameelah was taking
forever in the base library.

- Uh-huh.
- Page three

it says an operator is under indictment

for an op in Jordan.

You told me your mission was uneventful.

Why are you holding out on me?

I didn't feel the need to
share all the details, babe.

- It's just one op.
- It's more than one.

You still won't talk about
what happened in Syria.

It's Jason.

He's the operator under indictment.

I didn't want to upset you,

'cause I know it's gonna blow over.

What did he do?

I-I can't say.

The investigation involves
classified information.

You can't say, or you won't say?

Shared plenty of state secrets before.

I wasn't a warrant officer before.

I got to do my duty.

- You know?
- Mm-hmm.

- Love you.
- Love you back.

(BEEPING)

(BEEPING)

(BEEPING)

One of my men come under fire,
I'm there to protect them.

All right, I got eyes all over me
out there, do you understand me?

They're all looking at me like
I'm some kind of a w*r criminal?

- Master Chief...
- You one of them?

I was just as blindsided
by these allegations

- as you were.
- Why don't you do something about it

- instead of sit there?
- 'Cause these charges are coming

from above me, outside
the walls of this command!

So you think this is a witch
hunt, too, huh? Yeah.

I think that you running
around like a man on fire

- is not helping you.
- All right, you know what?

Somebody att*cks me I fight
back... that's what I do.

It'd be nice if the people around me

who supported me would do the same,

instead of watching the
Navy machine steamroll me.

You know, you're right,
Master Chief, the machine

is coming after you,
and it is a foe unlike

anything you've battled before.

So you listen to me.

If you don't stand down

and get out of your own way,

you are going to lose the most
important fight of your life.

You got lucky. A b*llet
went clean through you.

Yep. Must've not liked
the taste of whiskey

- and freedom.
- (CHUCKLES)

I am just glad you are okay.

- Aah!
- Oh, st...

- (BOTH LAUGHING)
- You're so stupid.

Yeah, well, I got cleared
hot to operate.

Bravo isn't, though.

Is that irony?

Yeah. Well, it's
reality, unfortunately,

until Jason's investigation's wrapped up.

Yeah.

It really ain't fair what
they're doing to him.

The politicians

don't like the way that we fight wars,

maybe they should quit starting them.

My detailer called.

- Oh, yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

Said that I should hear back

about that Echo job by next month.

Ooh. You still sure that

that's something you want to do?

I mean, you're getting

a lot more than you bargained
for now, considering...

I might have a plus-one rolling with me.

Did Hannah tell you the due date yet?

Um...

Sonny, have you still not
talked to her about the baby?

Davis, I've been a tad busy,
getting sh*t and all.

Okay? You know... and look, she-she said

she wasn't expecting anything,
so there's no rush.

She deserves a response.

Sonny.

Whatever you decide,

we're gonna get through it.

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay?

Together.

You ambushed your commanding officer?

We can't afford to
lose a potential ally.

Well, I prefer people that sh**t

in the same direction as me, so...

I know chain of command
means nothing to you,

but Captain Lindell has influence.

And from what I can tell,

you need all the help
you can get, Master Chief.

- Please, call me Jason.
- Negative.

I'll call you Master Chief Hayes

and you'll call me Lieutenant
Commander Williams

because this is the United States Navy.

So, where are we?

The prosecution thinks
it has ironclad evidence

you sh*t an unarmed man.

What evidence? He had a g*n.

- We'll learn more at the preliminary hearing later.
- Good.

- It's time we start pushing back.
- No.

There's nothing for us to do
at the hearing but listen.

The prosecution's evidence
will be reviewed

by an investigating officer
who will recommend

the case be thrown out,
amended and/or go to trial.

Please try to control
yourself in the hearing

so I only have to fight the prosecution.

You know, it is odd to me.

It's odd to me that you've never
asked me how this all went down.

I mean, do you think I'm,
what, some kind of trigger-happy

renegade who sh**t
anyone in their crosshairs?

It's my job to defend you
no matter what I think.

I arrived on target.

I saw a man

holding a Beretta M
in his left hand.

I put him down before
he could get a sh*t off.

I'm far less concerned
with what you say happened

than with what the
prosecution can prove.

Unless you can procure the smoking g*n,

it's your word against
theirs, Master Chief.

Oh, hey there, little buddy.

You, uh, sh**ting your feelings
again there, sugarplum?

Uh, JAG called before I fired a sh*t.

Deposition is in ten minutes.

When's yours?

Uh, my deposition got rescheduled.

Ray called me in.

Oh. What, something going on?

(LOCK BEEPING)

Yo.

We're spinning up, Spenser.

I thought we were undeployable.

Bravo's undeployable, but you
and Ray are strapping with Echo.

They need sn*per support,

and the other teams
are engaged elsewhere.

Still need rear security.

Sonny's here and cleared hot.

- (GRUNTS)
- About time he knocks the rust off.

That was quick.

I'll leave you to it.

I don't have to remind
you that there are

plenty of eyes on you, given
Master Chief Hayes' situation.

Toe the line.

Roger.

CLAY: Sonny Quinn rides again.

SONNY: Couldn't stand to be

away another day.

Treated me like a lab rat
when I was out, but...

no one questions where your head's at.

(CHUCKLES): Yeah. I don't
think the Navy wants

to go down that rabbit hole.

Uh, I'm good, Ray. Lookit.

My injury was a small price to pay

for slaying your dragon.

Hope Jace doesn't pay a bigger one.

His charges have nothing
to do with Raqqa Jacques.

So, where we headed?

Apartadó, Colombia.

Targeting four key leaders
of Las Sombras.

That's the most brutal
cartel in the region.

Five points for Blonde Hermione.

Is this a k*ll or capture mission?

k*ll.

We're responsible for taking out

the cartel's third in command,
Mauricio Perez... (GRUNTS)

... while Echo simultaneously eliminates

the other four targets.

Wheels up in an hour.

Doesn't leave much time for
your deposition there, Sonny.

Gonna keep it fast and dirty.

'Cause they can't handle my truth.

Hey, how's, uh, how's Jace holding up?

(GRUNTS) Haven't heard anything.

(GRUNTS)

You didn't reach out?

Seem to recall Command
issuing a no-contact order.

I figured maybe you'd
bend the rules a little bit

for your best friend.

I can't imagine it's easy on him,

being without his brothers.

Well, it's unfortunate, but...

sometimes you're on your own.

Come on.

(GRUNTS)

OGAWA: Good afternoon.

I'm Commander Ogawa. I've
been assigned to conduct

the preliminary hearing
for United States

v. Master Chief Jason Hayes.

Is the government prepared
to present evidence?

FLORES: Yes, ma'am.

Master Chief Hayes is accused
of violating Article ,

involuntary manslaughter,
for sh**ting Yazeed Nafal,

an unarmed Jordanian civilian,
during an operation in Jordan.

Exhibit is the classified order

to obtain the cell phone of
Syrian t*rror1st Dabir Ganim.

Exhibit is the deposed testimony

of three members of Bravo Team.

Exhibit :

cell phone footage of the sh**ting.

- (g*nshots)
- (GROANING)

(g*nshots)

As the footage shows,

Mr. Nafal had no w*apon.

Master Chief Hayes fatally
sh*t an unarmed man.

I'm telling you, Mr. Nafal
was armed, 'kay?

Video says differently.

Forget the video, all right?

The video had missing camera angles.

It didn't-didn't show everything.

So where's the g*n?

It wasn't at the scene.

None of your teammates saw it.

Seems it only exists in your head.

The g*n was there. All right?

Maybe a cop took it or a neighbor.

So, I don't know, how do we prove it?

- We don't.
- What do you mean we don't? That's it?

Plea offer.

You admit to Article ,

- reckless endangerment,
- (SCOFFS)

accept a less than
honorable discharge...

- ... but you get to keep some of your benefits.
- You got to be kidding me. Plea deal.

- I'm not taking a plea deal.
- Taking that deal is your best hope for a future.

I take that deal,

all that says is that I'm guilty.

I'm not guilty. I'm innocent.

years of service to this
country should prove that.

It's true many people think
you're a hero, Master Chief.

But that video says you're
a cold-blooded k*ller.

It's a generous plea offer.

It proves the U.S. wants a speedy
settlement with Jordan.

All it proves

is they want this to go away.

They're not expecting a fight.

This isn't your kind
of fight, Master Chief.

There are greater forces at play.

If you're court-martialed,

your entire life will be invaded

and you'll face a more severe punishment

than what's in that offer.

No. Not gonna take the plea.

Think of what you're
risking by going to trial.

Risk is part of my job.

Take the deal. It's your only way out.

No.

There is more than my
freedom at stake here.

Never out of the fight.

That's right. That's me.

We'll review every piece of
evidence and every tactic again.

Good. Now I feel like
we're communicating.

Sit down.

I'm not banging my head
against the wall alone, Jason.

Yes, ma'am.

Or is it "Lieutenant
Commander Williams" now?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(QUIETLY): Oh, God.

What's the matter?

- Realizing how dull life will be with Echo?
- (CHUCKLES)

I'm realizing how wrong
it feels to be rolling out

with Jason's career on the line.

Our depositions will help.

All right? Get on record what
kind of man and operator he is.

SONNY: Not sure how much, though.

All they were worried about

was the missing g*n.

If only I would've gone inside,
maybe I would've spotted it.

Could've made this all go away.

SONNY: If they didn't
take Jason's word for it,

what makes you think
they're gonna take yours?

The only reason the pencil
jockeys are questioning the k*ll

is because it happened

inside an apartment building

and not in the sandbox.

Cake-eaters still think
this w*r's got boundaries.

I never should've told Jason that...

Raqqa Jacques was Ray's torturer.

I mean, what if I primed
him to make a mistake?

He didn't make a mistake. Okay?

Ain't no reason to feel guilty.

Raqqa Jacques come up
in your deposition?

No. Why would he?

Wouldn't have changed the op.

Hey.

How'd your deposition go, Warrant?

Not supposed to talk
about the investigation.

Mm. He's just...

he's just worried about Jace.

Or himself.

He was OIC in Jordan.

Means he's exposed.

He'll be on the hook
for Jason's actions.

No, he's just wound up.

There's no way in hell

he's more concerned about his situation

than his brother's.

DAVIS: Yeah. I agree.

His first op out, he nearly got k*lled.

His second time out, Jason's
freedom's in the crosshairs.

He's got plenty weighing on him.

WILLIAMS: We've combed
through everything.

AARs, Jordan's records.

I'm not finding our Hail Mary.

You sure we just can't
tell 'em I didn't do it?

(CHUCKLES)

Chief Warrant Officer Perry.

His deposition's sealed.

So?

So, he has a lawyer, too.

Why does he need a lawyer?

Maybe to protect himself.

How would you describe his mental state

on the Jordan mission?

- He was fine.
- But could he really serve

as a solid OIC just weeks
after enduring such trauma?

How does any of this help me?

If the op in question was led by an OIC

in a compromised mental state,

Ray and Command are equally culpable.

You want me to pin this on my brother?

By sharing the blame, we
could reduce your charges.

No, I'm sorry. Teammates
don't turn on each other.

I'm sorry to say this,

but all signs suggest
that Ray already has.

The Ray I know wouldn't do that to me.

Considering all he's been through,

he might not be the Ray you knew.

Holding Ray accountable might
be your only way out of this.

(INSECTS TRILLING)

_

(CREAKING)

Clear.

- Clear.
- Clear.

(GROANS)

This gives us a clean line of sight

to the target building.

I'll break out the hide material.

Sonny, get posted by the front.

- Watch our six.
- Ah, all by my lonesome?

Well...

I'll deny ever saying this, but...

I wish Brock was on this mission.

It's got to be tough on the family

heading out so soon after Jordan.

They know the drill.

Stella's moving in next month.

Yep. That's good to hear.

- You two must be excited.
- Yeah, we are.

Though Jason's, uh, his
situation isn't helping.

Kind of worried

the realities of the job's
got her spooked again.

You filled her in on Jason?

Yeah, just trying to be honest with her,

like you are with Naima.

Being honest doesn't mean I
can tell her everything, Clay.

How much you share about the Jordan op?

(GRUNTS) Enough to quell her curiosity.

Including Raqqa Jacques?

You told Stella about him?

I answered her questions.

Stella and Naima talk, Clay.

You shouldn't have said anything.

Sometimes the truth causes
more problems than it solves.

JASON: Sir?

You have a minute?

Only if you've gone Winchester
since our last encounter.

I didn't mean to come at you like that.

My fight is not with you.

Yeah, I understand wanting
to give a face to the enemy.

How you holding up?

Never thought I'd go out like this.

You made any headway with your defense?

JAG proposed two options:

plea deal or...

sell out my teammate.

If you were in my shoes,
what would you do?

I'm not permitted to influence
your legal decisions.

But off the record,

I would consider the plea offer.

It's the option that
allows you to salvage

something after operating.

Salvage what?

I got a glimpse of life

after operating, and that's not me.

Yeah, I know being away
from your teammates

is making this even
more difficult, so...

a little advice:

Take refuge in the people closest to you

outside these walls.

'Cause not even you are
gonna be able to fight

this battle alone.

(INSECT CHIRPING)

RAY: Still no Perez.

Hurry up and wait.

It's a nice change of pace from Jordan.

You shouldn't feel responsible
for what's happening with Jason.

Why would I? I didn't ask for his help.

I didn't even want to tell
him about Raqqa Jacques.

He pushed for vengeance.
Whatever went down is on him.

Either of you studs need a break?

Get back at your post, Sonny.

Ah, yeah, you ever see
that Chuck Norris movie

where he pulls rear security?

No, you haven't, have you?


Yeah, 'cause even Ground Chuck

couldn't make it interesting.

We got movement. Second window.

RAY: That's Perez.

There's someone else in the room.

A kid.

SONNY: Yeah, Intel says that Perez

has a daughter. Luisa.

RAY: Havoc, this is Bravo .

We have a PID on HVT . How copy?

That's a good copy, Bravo .

Stand by. Holding for Echo.

Roger that. Bravo out.

Jason's on trial for sh**ting
an unarmed man,

and here we are,

taking orders to do the same,

right in front of his daughter.

Perez is responsible for
the deaths of hundreds

of innocent people, Sonny.

Yeah. Well, her whole childhood

will go up in smoke with her daddy.

We don't pick the ops.

we just execute them.

SONNY: Just saying...

if Raqqa Jacques had his way,

and Jameelah saw your
last breath online...

well, she'd be saddled with that horror

for the rest of her days.

We don't take out Perez,
more innocent people will die.

And unfortunately for Luisa,
you can't pick your parents.

RAY: Back to work, Sonny.

- (LIVELY CHATTER)
- (BILLIARD BALLS COLLIDE)

Thank you.

Sorry I'm late. (EXHALES)

My parasailing class went over time.

(CHUCKLES): I'm sorry. Parasailing.

- Right. (CHUCKLES)
- What?

I have a life now.

That's good.

Just-just glad that you were in town.

That's all.

Only to collect some things

- before my flight leaves in a couple hours.
- Oh.

Where you headed?

You didn't call to ask
about my adventures.

Yeah.

You know me too well.

You do. (EXHALES)

I heard what you've been charged with.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah. (EXHALES)

Unfortunately, my new...

role doesn't allow me to...

horse-trade state secrets to
rescue you. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Havoc, this is Echo .

We have a PID on HVT , over.

Copy that. Stand by. Sir?

- All targets positively identified.
- Roger that.

ECHO : All targets have
been PID'd. Stand by.

I don't have a sh*t.

We'll wait for her to move.

ECHO : Execute, execute, execute.

(SNIFFS)

Come on.

Move.

Come on.

(CLICKING)

You're clear.

RAY: Luisa's still in the room.

CLAY: He's gonna bail. Send it.

Send it.

Damn it, what happened to the lights?

He's gone.

DAVIS: Bravo , this is Havoc.

HVTs and are down.

HVT is eliminated.

Bravo, what is your sitrep?

CLAY: Havoc, this is Bravo .

We still don't have the sh*t.

Roger that, Bravo . Standing by.

Havoc out.

Look, if Perez gets away,

we're on the hook for another bad op.

You think telling Stella
that we iced a dude

in front of his baby girl is
gonna put her mind at ease?

Huh?

CLAY: He's got a phone.

He's probably hearing
about the other HVTs.

If we don't take the sh*t,

we're gonna lose him.

Son of a bitch. He's bailing.

Bravo , this is Havoc.

Be advised, you have what appears to be

an enemy vehicle
approaching your position.

Good copy.

We see it. Pickup truck with
a spotlight. Coming right at us.

♪♪

♪♪

(QUIETLY): Bravo , this is .

We got the enemy out looking.

Probably not hunting for snipe.

♪♪

SONNY: We got two guards
heading into the barn.


This could get loud, gentlemen.

Copy, . Hold off as long as you can.

We still don't have the sh*t.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Come on. Come on. Where'd you go?

(CAR DOOR SHUTS)

(ENGINE REVVING IN DISTANCE)

The SUV.

You have the sh*t?

I can't see him through night vision.

sh*t's gonna fall on you.

Check. Switching to thermal.

Copy.

Perez is still smoking.

Don't fire till you PID.

Where's the girl?

Wait. Wait.

He left his daughter in the room.

Take the sh*t.

♪♪

Jackpot.

(g*nf*re)

(INSECTS CHIRPING)

(PANTING SOFTLY)

Havoc, this is Bravo . I pass Athena.

DAVIS: Copy that, Bravo .

All targets are down.

(PANTING)

Maybe they should make that
rear security movie after all.

Yeah.

(PANTING)

Civilian life looks like
it's treating you well.

Yeah.

Maybe I should've followed you out

- of that taco stand that day.
- (CHUCKLES)

I've thought about that, you know.

Probably would've been
a... happier ending

- than the one I'm facing.
- Yeah.

You would've loved it for, like...

a week?

Two, tops.

And then you would have been
yearning for your microwave.

You think so?

Know so.

Bravo gives you a purpose
most people never find.

You had that purpose.

But not the brotherhood.

That's... (INHALES)

the difference between us.

Why you had to stay and I didn't.

Well, that difference
may not exist anymore.

- What's that mean?
- Mm, just...

My lawyer's trying to convince me

that one of my teammates
has turned on me.

If I don't incriminate him,
he's just gonna bury me.

(EXHALES)

Other option is a plea deal.

And neither surrender

nor making a teammate collateral damage

is the Jason Hayes way.

Like I said, you know me too well.

You know what you're gonna do?

I'm better at making decisions
when b*ll*ts are flying at me.

For years, you've convinced
your teammates

to follow you into the
darkest pits of hell.

How hard can it be to convince a jury

that you did it right
and you're innocent?

Right.

(GLASSES CLINK)

You can't be leaving.

- Come on, stay.
- Sorry.

The ticket's nonrefundable.

All right.

Maybe next time.

Great.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(PLANE PASSING OVERHEAD)

I'm, uh, I'm glad you were
leading us out there today.

You know, holding fire

till Perez's daughter
was out of the way,

that was... that was a good call.

Last I checked, I don't
need Bravo 's approval.

No, you don't.

But you have it anyway.

You know, I don't know how I'd handle

making impossible moral
decisions in the field

like you just did.

That's why I'm glad I
can rely on my brothers.

You're wondering if
Jason can rely on me?

Why are you so closed off to him?

- This isn't like you.
- Our hands are tied. You know the rules.

Like you knew the rules when
you wrote the Marsden letter?

Go out on a limb for her,

but you let our brother
suffer in the dark

after he moved heaven and earth
when you needed him most.

I know what Jason has
done for me, all right?

And how I handle this is my business.

- Not when it harms Bravo.
- SONNY: Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Guys. Okay? Cool it, man.

Look, Soto said.

We need to toe the line.

No.

What we really need
is to stick together.

Take a breather, buddy.

DAVIS: What was that about?

(GROANS) I don't know. I think, uh,

this Jace thing is starting to
mess with everybody's head.

Yeah, well,

uncertainty will do that.

Yeah, I guess that's the
truth about us, too, huh?

Look, Davis...

I'm so sorry I haven't figured
out this whole baby thing yet.

Don't worry about me.

Hannah's the one that is waiting on you.

I mean, it would be nice to know

what the road ahead looks like for us.

You see, "family" has always
been a bad word for me.

I told people I had sisters
because my made-up clan

brought me comfort more
than my real family did.

The fact that Emmet was a bad father

- doesn't condemn you to be one.
- I know.

Just seeing what Jace is going through

and us almost k*lling that
guy in front of his child...

Yeah.

I just don't think it's fair

to bring that home to a child.

That's a sound argument, Sonny.

It's very logical.

But this isn't a kid.

This is your kid.

And the connection that
you'll share, father to child?

There's nothing logical about it.

(EXHALES)

- (DOOR OPENS)
- STELLA: You're back.

How was, uh, the op?

Uh, successful.

Good.

I mean, doesn't paint much
of a picture, but that's good.

Look...

I-I shared too much about Jason.

I know my job isn't your
favorite thing about me,

and so I shouldn't
throw it in your face.

You're right.

What you do once bothered me

to the point of almost
ruining the best thing

in my life.

But I love you,

and operating is who you are.

I want you to share everything with me.

What was bothering you the other day?

I've made peace with what
operating could do to you,

but I don't think I can
handle watching you

get dragged in the mud like
they're doing with Jason.

Not with everything you sacrifice.

I was worried

this conversation was heading
in a different direction.

I'm not going anywhere.

Like, literally, I'm not
going anywhere tonight.

(CHUCKLES) Got a plan.

We'll be here.

(LAUGHS, MOANS)

Do you want to make up
for some lost time with me?

(MOANS) Mm-hmm.

What is it?

Team's coming apart at the seams.

I really want to stay here
with you right now, but...

I need to try and make things right.

It's okay.

Bravo takes priority.

I get it.

Go already.

(KEYS JINGLE)

When Bravo returned
from Ganim's apartment,

did they discuss the operation with you?

No, ma'am. Officer Perry
handed me Ganim's phone

and said there was no time to waste.

Officer Mina Hassan and I

- then analyzed the data.
- COOK: Thank you, Lieutenant.

Just two more questions.
Uh, when Officer Perry

shared Raqqa Jacques's
identity with you,

you reported that up the
chain of command, correct?

Yes, ma'am. I followed protocol.

Prior to the op at Ganim's apartment,

was Master Chief Hayes
aware that Raqqa Jacques

was the man who tortured Officer Perry?

(FRIDGE OPENS)

(PHONE BUZZING)

♪♪

- Hey.
- Hey.

Figured you'd be home with
the family after the op.

- Uh, Commander Cook wanted to talk to me again, I guess.
- Mm.

- How'd it go in there?
- I don't know.

I'm feeling guilty about what I shared.

Could be twisted to hurt Jason.

As long as you told the truth,

you don't need to feel guilty.

I don't know. I mean,
Jason led the charge

to defend me when I was
in front of the XOI last year.

It just... It feels wrong

that he has to face this on his own.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

(DOG BARKS)

Hey. It's all right.

Okay.

Hey.

You know there's a no-contact order.

Don't want you to get in trouble
with Command again.

Deposition's tomorrow, so...

technically, I'm not a witness yet.

That's not really how it works.

You gonna make me drink alone?

Yeah.

(GROANS)

(EXHALES)

How's the team holding up
without seeing my ugly face?

Angry on your behalf.

Yeah. What about Ray?

Yeah, he's-he's frustrated.

You know, he wants to be here for you.

If he wanted to be here, he'd be here.

- How's it been with you?
- Got me all jammed up.

Lawyer is waving the white flag.

What are you gonna do?

What I always do. Fight. Go
in there with g*ns a-blazing.

Good. Good.

It doesn't... doesn't track.

The guy who's run more ops than anyone

just suddenly got an
itchy trigger finger.

You'll b*at this.

Yeah.

(PHONE BUZZING)

- Oh.
- _

That's my JAG. (SIGHS)

Yeah?

(SIGHS)

Well...

I guess that's that, then.

All right.

What's up?

(EXHALES)

Um, trial counsel found out

that, uh, Raqqa Jacques
was Ray's torturer.

They think I sh*t an unarmed
man out of revenge.

They upped the charges to m*rder.
