Previously on SEAL Team...

Sonny Quinn's gonna be a dad.

- Wait, who's the lucky lady?
- It's complicated.

Ray's got more of the balance
that I'm looking for.

Built a family and a relationship
that's unshakeable.

Move in with me.

NAIMA: I overheard what they were saying

- about going after the person who tortured you.
- (SCREAMING)

I was protecting you, baby.

Building a wall between us

isolates you from this family.

Nobody's allowed to know what we have.

Get to a point where there's
more reasons to break up

- than stay together.
- PANEL PRESIDENT: We find the defendant,

Master Chief Jason M. Hayes,

- not guilty.
- EMMA: "His leadership

in the field is second to none,

and I have never known an operator

more committed to Navy.

Theo Papadakis".

That's a blast from the past.

- RAY: All three dead nuts, center mass.
- (GROANS) Come on.

Are you kidding me right now,
Lee Harvey Blondewald?

Quadruple or nothing, Sonny?

- You racked up some serious debt, man.
- SONNY: What?

Uh, you know what?

I am done betting on myself.

I'm taking Bravo .

Well, might not be wise,
betting on the guy that's

been off the range for a minute.

CLAY: Round of drinks
says Jace can't put

three rounds through
one hole in the T-zone.

I will take that wager!

You know, I don't know
what's a bigger betrayal:

uh, government coming after me

or, uh, Ray and Clay
doubting my sh**ting skills.

Yeah, you're right. I should've known.

sh**ting's not a perishable
skill for Bravo .

SONNY: That trial put
no hitch in his giddyup.

That's why that single malt is
gonna taste so damn sweet

- on the Blonde Brutus's dime.
- CLAY: Time out.

Can we talk about
something here? Scotch?

Sonny, that's a little
fancy for a frogman.

Bravo 's a free man.

Okay? No better reason right there

than to go top-shelf.

- Top-shelf! (LAUGHS)
- (SONNY LAUGHS)

- Here you go, buddy.
- Yep! Yep.

Hey, Sonny. Sonny, Sonny, this...

- Listen up here, buddy.
- (LAUGHING)

Since we won't be at the big
baby shower next week in Texas,

Bravo owes you a proper
send-off into fatherhood.

One that doesn't involve
pin the diaper on the donkey.

There you go.

- Oh. Is this for, uh, the baby or me?
- Both of you.

- (ALL LAUGH)
- CLAY: Kid's got to learn to learn how to change you

- after a rough night there, buddy.
- SONNY: Oh.

And learn how to drive

to get your impaired ass home
from the boom-boom room.

- Oh! Come on, now.
- JASON: Yeah, you know what, being a dad's

not gonna be your only
nightmare. (VOCALIZING)

SONNY: Oh, yeah. Come on. Come on.

Aah, get out of here. Come on.

Your guys's confidence

in my, uh, ability as a parent is, uh...

It's overwhelming. Yeah.

Where am I supposed to put this?

In my cage? Come on.

(HELICOPTER WHIRRING IN DISTANCE)

Hey. I'm sorry.

- I'm sure that had to be a little awkward.
- Uh,

I can handle it.
(CLEARS THROAT, CHUCKLES)

Well, it'll get easier once
you go to Echo and...

you know, and then you
and Sonny can be public.

Yeah, that would've made things easier.

What do you mean, "would've"?
You didn't get it?

It went away thanks to Jason's trial.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING IN DISTANCE)

Sorry.

Where's that put you and Sonny?

I got a lot of work to do.

- All right.
- Okay.

Do all the dogs get nail polish?

- Yes.
- What's, uh, what's his name?

This is Tilly, and she's a terrier.

Her best friend's Goliath,
but they don't always

- get along sometimes. But they're still best friends.
- (DRILL WHIRRING)

Yeah.

Are you okay, Daddy?

- (WHIRRING STOPS)
- (CHUCKLES): Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine, baby girl.

Are you trying

to tell Daddy something
with all these puppies?

Yeah. They're more
best friends than him,

which is kind of sad,
but it's just 'cause

- he's a little bit younger.
- (DRILL WHIRRING)

I think his name should be, like...

(RAY SCREAMING)

Yo! Hey!

Excuse me? Uh, excuse me.

- (WHIRRING STOPS)
- You mind holding off on the work till we're back inside?

- I'll be done in a minute.
- (DRILL WHIRRING)

JAMEELAH: She's a terrier.

- Her best friend...
- Hey!

- Hey!
- NAIMA: Ray.

- Raymond!
- Hey, I told you...

Raymond.

(WHIRRING STOPS)

Please. You're scaring her.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Used some, uh...

I used some orange bitters
in here this time.

Ooh, fancy.

- Can I try?
- Mm-hmm.

All right. Cheers.

- Cheers.
- Mm-hmm.

Mmm.

That's a good old-fashioned.

- Hmm.
- You finally got it dialed in, babe.

Thanks to finally having
some free time from Bravo.

- Mm.
- Jason's trial was pretty inconvenient for us.

I mean, I always imagined
moving in together would mean

more together, but
we have plenty of time

to make this place ours.

I understand that you had
to be there for Jason.

He's not just your team leader.

Yeah. No, sure, I...

I look up to him as an operator,

but I told you, you know,

Ray's got the home front
balance that I want.

So, you're gonna operate like Jason

- and domesticate like Ray?
- Mm-hmm.

All right.

(BOTH MOAN)

All right, so,

back to the big plan here.

We ply Dr. Waters and
his wife with booze

so he'll put you on the
curriculum committee.

Well, hopefully, my, uh, track record

in the English department will do that.

Cocktails can't hurt.

Neither will your, uh,
dazzling personality.

Well, I've been reading up
on my Flannery O'Connor, so...

Things we do for love.

If only bourbon would solve
how to make this place

into an acceptable dining area.

Maybe we should just make
a reservation somewhere.

- You know?
- No.

You promised him a home-cooked meal

in your new place, and
we're gonna deliver.

Okay?

(LOCK BEEPS, DOOR OPENS)

(JET PASSING OVERHEAD)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Thought you went home.

I did.

After all that waiting
around during your trial,

I realized I needed to knock
the rust off in the gym.

That the only rust that
needs knocking off?

Jordan's in my rearview.

So is Raqqa Jacques,
the trial, all of it.

I'm front-sight focused.

- You slayed your dragon.
- Yours, too.

- About damn time we found the next one, huh?
- Yeah.

Hey, you keep in touch
with, uh, Papadakis?

- Theo?
- Yeah.

We exchange texts every
once in a while. Why?

Yeah, he wrote me this, uh, letter

for the, uh, "good sailor" book.

Ah, and after being
sequestered during the trial,

you realized how much
it sucks being alone

without your brothers.

Yeah, he was, uh...

He was there for me, and I just
wish I had been there for him.

It's not exactly like you
to look at the past, brother.

Yeah.

Trial just brought things up in me.

Guilt, grief, remorse.

Team guy buried treasure.

Kind that don't make us rich, right?

Theo's letter meant something to me.

Helped me lighten the load.

Well, if it means that much to you,

he's up in Seaford.

About an hour away.

(LAWN MOWER WHIRRING IN DISTANCE)

(CAR ENGINE STARTS)

(CLEARS THROAT)

(DOOR OPENS)

Theo.

Hey.

- It's been a long time.
- Yeah.

- (FRIDGE DOOR CLOSES)
- Here you go.

- Here.
- Thanks, man. Cheers.

Here's to, uh, Bravo, past and present.

But mostly past. (CHUCKLES)

Have a seat.

How're my former teammates?

(GRUNTS) Sonny and Ray
are the only ones left?

Well, Sonny, he's, uh...

(CHUCKLES) Look at that.

Sonny's having a kid.

- A kid?
- (LAUGHS)

- (LAUGHS)
- And, uh, Ray, well...

He's still den mother?

- Pretty much.
- Yeah.

I heard about his captivity.

- How's he holding up?
- He's good. He's good. You know,

all that training that we do
helped get him through it,

so he's gonna be all right.

- Ignore and override?
- Ignore and override.

Yeah.

Look, I, uh...

I really a-appreciate the...

that letter you wrote me.

Means a lot.

The least I could do
for the best door-kicker

I've ever worked with.

That's high praise coming
from the one teammate

- I couldn't catch on the O-Course.
- (CHUCKLES)

Think I was fast then,
you should see me now.

(GRUNTS)

Half the man,

twice the frogman.

It was Afghanistan.

Zhari District.

October .

You were chasing down some Talimonster.

Grenade in the hallway.

- Bad deal.
- You did your job.

Bagged the HVT, got me home.

Well, most of me.

(LAUGHS)

So, how long has it been?

Geez, seems like... When's
the last time I saw you?

You can't remember that,
but you can remember

the worst day of my life perfectly?

(CHUCKLES)

Uh...

The last time I saw you,

I invited you over for a barbecue,

celebrate my new leg.

You never showed.

Well, I'm here now.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

NAIMA: Jameelah's finally asleep.

I told her you were under
a lot of stress at work.

She asked me what made it
different than other times.

I didn't know what to say.

I'm okay, Naima.

- I promise.
- It's one thing to hide

you're sleeping down here from the kids,

but now you're scaring them.

I'm just wound up from
the trial, that's all.

You haven't been right for weeks now.

We haven't been right.

If you're not going to talk to me,

then you need to talk to someone.

I...

Been there. Okay, baby?

I've checked all those boxes
with the Navy shrinks

and been declared fit to operate, okay?

"Fit to operate" isn't the same thing

as "fit to live with".

Maybe it's better if I'm gone.

♪ ♪

THEO: I never could stop myself
from tinkering with my gear.

- Yeah.
- Hawking knives was a logical next step.

You know what, seems
like business is good.

Mm. Kept me busy.

Needed that.

The transition out of the
teams... was that rough?

Uh, I lost my leg, lost my
brothers, lost the chaos.

- Chaos.
- Yeah.

Took me a long time to realize
I needed to forgive myself.

For what?

Things we saw, things we did.

I know we were on the
right side of things,

but doesn't mean everything
we did feels right.

You know what chaps my ass?

Ancient cultures, the
Greeks, the samurai,

they knew that they had
to sanitize their warriors

after battle to help them heal.

But not here.

Public doesn't want to see
the things that we can't unsee.

I mean, it's like, "Thank
you for your service.

Good luck restoring your soul".

Well, amen to that.

Seems like you figured it out though.

Yeah, would've been easier if
I wasn't popping oxy every day.

(CHUCKLES)

Was that a parting gift from your leg?

- (CHUCKLES) No, man.
- (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

I was actually using a lot
more while I was on Bravo.

I never noticed.

Because you didn't want to.

You saw what you wanted:

mission success.

I don't think that's fair.

Man, I was pumping more
pills than Big Pharma.

And as long as I was pulling
my weight downrange,

that's all you cared about.

I'm saying, as the team leader,

it's my job to make sure
that my men get home safe.

Look, brother,

I forgave you a long time ago.

I learned not to expect you to
be something that you're not.

What do you mean by that?

You weren't personally
invested in my issues.

You were my team leader,

nothing more.

(BEEPING)

(EXHALES, SNIFFS)

- (EXHALES)
- (CLICK)

(FABRIC RUSTLING)

CLAY: Hey.

Never seen you hang that
anywhere that wasn't a C- .

S.A. busywork kept me after hours.

Decided to crashed here as not
to bother the family, you know?

Yeah.

- (GRUNTS)
- You, uh...

you always bring a go bag
when you work late?

(CHUCKLES)

I, uh...

needed some space to cool off.

You'll learn that soon enough.

Hey, why don't you come crash with us.

Come on, man. DEVGRU sleepover's
a lonely straw to pull.

Uh... (CHUCKLES)

You and Stella should be enjoying

the perks of cohabitation.

I'm not gonna impose on that.

Come on.

She won't mind.

Come on, dude.

Naima would k*ll me if
I let you sleep in here

with Sonny's nasty-ass laundry pile.

(CHUCKLES)

- All right.
- All right?

Yeah.

(MUTTERING)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

(KNOCKING)

Lieutenant Davis.

After the disappointing news of Echo,

I think I have something
promising to pass along.

An opportunity.

At SOCOM?

You'd be serving every Tier One asset

in the United States m*llitary.

I'd hate to lose you, but, uh,

once-in-a-career opening.

Yes, sir. It is.

Course, you'd have to
leave Virginia Beach.

Do you have a problem with that?

No. No problem at all, sir.

You know, SOCOM would be,
uh, very lucky to have you.

So I hope you consider it.

Thank you.

- Sir.
- Master Chief.

Yeah.

I just overhead. SOCOM?

Wow. You would, uh...

You'd leave Bravo, with
all-all your history here?

Honestly, the history's the why.

I mean, I started out
changing batteries on NODs,

and now I'm responsible for
sending you all into the fire.

After all this time,

you're more than just operators.

You're family.

Job would be a lot easier if we aren't.

The job would be a lot easier

if I could see everyone
as their call signs first.

I wish I was more like you, Jason,

but I'm not.

(GROANS SOFTLY, EXHALES)

Oh!

Like what you done with the place.

(CHUCKLES) Thanks.

I can take zero credit.

(GRUNTS SOFTLY)

(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING SOFTLY)

Hi, honey.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Mwah.
- Mwah.

- Hello. Welcome.
- Hey. Hey.

- Come here.
- (GRUNTS)

- Come on. Uh, make yourself at home.
- (GRUNTS)

It's already kind of you to take me in.

I don't need a five-star spread.

Oh, well, you're lucky, 'cause
I don't usually make one.

This is not for me. I'm intruding.

I had a work thing scheduled,

and everything was halfway there anyway

when Clay called and said
that you were coming.

So I just figured it'd be
easier to finish the thought.

Plus, it's better that our first
guest should be family, right?

I don't want to put you guys out.

You're not putting us out.

Plus, I get to test out the menu.

On you.

- (CHUCKLES)
- Work out the kinks. (CHUCKLES)

But you should maybe call Naima
and tell her that you're here.

She-she must be worried.

Yeah, she probably is.

I'll give her a call.

Okay.

(CHUCKLES)

I'm sorry about...

- about dinner with...
- No, no, no, no, no.

Just two months ago, I
held Naima's hand as she...

faced the reality of maybe
never seeing Ray alive again.

And now he's sleeping on our couch.

It puts things in perspective.

(JETS ROARING)

LINDELL: Gentlemen, apologies
for the short notice,


but Charlie Team has been stood down

after their OIC was
injured in a car accident.

You will deploy in their
place for eight weeks.

Wheels up at .

CLAY: We're leaving for two months,

no warning?

The old Tier One heads-up.

Where we headed?

SOTO: Northwest Africa

and the Sahel.

CLAY: I lived there
with my grandparents.

They were missionaries.
Area's rife with tribalism,

corruption and terrorism.

Turning the region into a new
playground for AQ and !sis.

SOTO: Continent's natural resources

have appeal to global superpowers, too.

Russia and China have each taken
their own bites of the apple

over the past two decades.

They've traded weapons
and infrastructure

for mineral rights and political power

in at least a dozen developing nations.

And after the drawdown in Afghanistan,

this is SOCOM's next primary AO.

Your tasking while deployed
will be degrading

the m*llitary capabilities of Boko Haram,

which have increased
significantly in recent months.

Yeah, they've been
running around unchecked

for over a decade.

It's time we get reacquainted with 'em.

Warrant Officer Perry,

you'll be read in on
the Ops Order en route.

Roger that. But, um,
where exactly is "there"?

There are no bases in Western Africa.

No. But there is the USS Keating

- sailing off the coast of Nigeria.
- (JASON WHISTLES)

- Oh, come on, man.
- (CHUCKLING)

Seriously, I did not join the Navy

to end up on a damn ship.

Well, at least it's not
a submarine, Sonny.

JASON: Well, it's not the Navy
without the water, Sonny.

So, time to sink or swim.

- All right, boys.
- Yeah, man.

(GROANS SOFTLY)

(SONNY GRUNTS SOFTLY)

Sonny, you good?

Yeah. You know, uh,

can't say that spending
the next eight weeks

nuts-to-butts with my fellow
sailors has got me all tingly.

Yeah. Yeah, you know, uh... (GRUNTS)

It's a good thing that you're
missing this baby shower.

I mean, outside the wire,
that's your happy place.

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

I would much rather
be at the baby shower

than taking Navy showers.

Besides, uh,

Hannah's due in six weeks,

and even I can do the math.

This is your job, man.

Don't b*at yourself up.

- Yeah. Right?
- Yeah.

I'm, uh, better equipped
to be a executioner

than a nurturer anyway.

Look, man, I-I know how you feel.

I do. I-I wasn't always
there for my kids either.

You know, one thing you
could do is update your will.

Yeah. Update your will.

In case you get k*lled
over there, then...

your kid has all your benefits.

- Right. Might-might as well, uh...
- Yeah.

be good for something anyway, right?

Okay.

That's a good chat.

Good chat.

CLAY: And by the time I'm back,

you'll be a member of
the curriculum committee.

Without you playing
bartender tomorrow night,

I am not so sure. (CHUCKLES)

I hate leaving when
we're just settling in.

Yeah.

Have to learn how to handle
things without you.

Might as well start now.

- Right?
- Mm.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

- Did you hear anything about Ray?
- Uh...

Yeah, he was... he was headed
home to make things right

before we take off.

Hope it's something they
can fix in a few hours.

They've made it work for years.

My money's on them.

If they can't make it, who can?

Here we go. Ah, there it is!

(LAUGHS)

Meet the, uh, famous Cerberus.

I appreciate you, uh, taking care of him

- while I'm away.
- Yeah.

Will be good to have
some company around here.

Might help me find the
next former Mrs. Papadakis.

You know, uh...

I should've been there
for you after the injury.

And I wasn't.

And I'm sorry about that.

And that guilt made you feel

like some companionship
might do me some good?

He's more than a companion.

That's a national treasure right there.

Hope some of that greatness

rubs off on you.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Yeah, I'll-I'll take it. I'll take it.

But I don't need your help right now.

Your teammates do.

My teammates know I have their six.

Yeah.

But being a SEAL was all I knew.

And my reentry process

after my injury would've been
a hell of a lot smoother

without a busted marriage
and popping pills.

And all that baggage
that comes from w*r...

it just doesn't go away when you stop.

Easiest part about being
an operator happens

outside the wire.

So if you really want
to protect your brothers,

you can't just be their sheepdog
when you're downrange.

Yeah.

Nothing like a diabetic coma
to send me off right, huh?

Well, you did let RJ make your sundae.

Kid's got zero impulse control.

His mama's sweet tooth.

Hey, um...

listen, baby, I'm...

I'm-I'm sorry for
blowing up the other day.

It's just with my ops going sideways

and being away from this family, I...

I feel like I'm coming
up short on all fronts.

Which is why I keep telling
you I'm here to help.

No, baby. It's on me
to handle my business.

Hey, but...

we'll work the problem when I'm back.

Together.

Yeah.

I got that damn butterscotch
taste in my mouth.

You got any mints?

What the hell?

What's this cash for?

In case of any problems.

Problems like what?

Oh. (SCOFFS)

I see.

I'm the problem.

No, Ray.

The problem's whatever you've
bottled up inside since Tunisia.

I've tried to be patient,

but losing it on our neighbor
in front of Jameelah?

You're like a time b*mb.

And I won't let our kids get caught

in the expl*si*n when you go off.

Problem solved.

You won't have to worry
about me for two months.

SONNY: You know I had a streak going?

Most consecutive deployments

in the teams not on a ship. Yeah.

I am the Cal Ripken of
sticking to dry land.

Hey, can you do me a favor please

and tell Clay that we're done

so he stops inadvertently
pouring salt in our wounds?

Our wounds? Well, this is the first

non-work-related conversation we've had.

Of course. I mean, it's hard coming

to work with you...

If we're gonna be cooped
up on a ship together,

boundaries are even more important.

Well, we're still friends, ain't we?


Friends is a gateway for us.

We got to be mature about this.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(SIGHS) So, uh, Stella okay
with you blowing out?

Yeah. Yeah, no, I guess so.

She's good.

Hey, Ray.

- Yo.
- First deployment I can remember

us not walking on together.

Sorry. Family wanted every
second I could give them.

Never gets easier, does it?

Getting yanked from the
home front with no warning

is never easy.

Well, it's not Bravo's first rodeo.

Let's hope so.

Still a lot of eyes on the team
despite your acquittal.

Bravo needs to keep things
on the straight and narrow

the next eight weeks.

There's anything you
need to worry about,

I'll let you know.

Trust me, my team is primed.

There's no freedom in the Navy.

All right? You want to get some air?

Go to the gear room,

Here, help him out, will you?
Do something with yourselves.

Come on, sunshine, let's go.

Let's turn that frown upside down.

Things looked a little icy
earlier with you and Davis.


- Is everything good?
- Yeah.

I heard about her not
getting the Echo job.

Yeah, the Davis fire is officially out.

Just too many hurdles
for us to jump over.

I'm sorry, man.

Well, you know, once
you're back stateside,

it's a new chapter.

You'll be a dad.

(CHUCKLES): Yeah, except having a kid

and being a dad are two
completely different things.

You can do both.

(LAUGHING): C-Come on, man.

I mean, you heard what
the guy said about me.

I'm not exactly dad material.

You know, the thing with Davis...
at least I had a fighting chance

of keeping my act together.

There's just no way in hell

my knuckle-dragger ass is gonna be able

to handle this dad thing alone.

Look, Davis was with you
because of who you are,

not who she made you.

Quinn, I need someone to rep Bravo

at General Quarters each day.

- Think you can handle that?
- Yes, sir.

Oh, waking up at the ass cr*ck
of dawn to be Soto's secretary.

The hits keep coming. (GRUNTS)

That was a show of confidence, man.

Look, Soto's been on you
to step up since he got here.

This might be an opportunity
for you to prove to yourself

that you're more than
just a knuckle-dragger.

MAN (OVER P.A.): Fire Team,

report to training exercises
in seven minutes.

Everyone welcome back Chief
Petty Officer Mina Hassan.

Good to see you all again.

SONNY: We haven't got our sea legs yet,

and you're already
kicking the hornet's nest?

DAVIS: Yeah, well, there's
really no time to waste,

given the imminent
defection of this man,

Oruku Atanga.

Atanga is a high-ranking
Boko Haram lieutenant

who has grown disillusioned and
wants to help end the v*olence.

He's already been vetted,
and is currently

in communication with the Agency.

That communication's being facilitated

by a local Cameroonian
w*rlord, Idogbe Moussa.

Moussa has a checkered
history in the region,

but he's been fighting Boko
Haram for the last decade.

- The enemy of my enemy.
- RAY: Exactly. Which is why

our first operation
will be assisting him.

MINA: Manaka, a village
under Moussa's protection,

is being starved out by Boko.

The past two attempts to deliver food

and medical supplies have been waylaid.

Moussa's men were k*lled
and the food stolen.

So, Bravo will accompany Moussa
on the third convoy as PSD.

Once we arrive in Manaka,

Moussa will deliver Atanga
and his wealth of intel.

- But first, we got to play Grubhub drivers for him?
- Favor op.

Teams did it for the warlords

- early on in Afghanistan.
- Same rodeo, different clowns.

RAY: Op's tougher than it sounds, too.

The convoy will leave from here,

just outside Kwala Ambassa.
That route's gonna take us

from the foothills into the mountains.

We'll be rolling in Agency SUVs.

Yeah, it's high elevation gains,
you're gonna be hitting a lot

of chokepoints to get to Manaka.

- CLAY: Convoy better have some serious horsepower.
- Yeah.

SOTO: Currently, the region's
considered semi-permissive.

State Department would
like to keep it that way

as long as possible.

- We need to keep things tight.
- We?

I'll be rolling with Bravo
on this one, Master Chief.

That an issue?

More the merrier.

Welcome to Kwala Ambassa.

I hope you came ready for a fight.

Master Chief Hayes. This
here's Lieutenant Soto.

- We're here to help.

They're almost finished
loading the truck.

- That truck there?
- Yes.

Our last remaining vehicle.

These guys got to be joking, right?

Oh, come on, Sonny. We've seen worse.

SONNY: Yeah, but you ever driven worse?

Hey, this heap of junk right here

isn't gonna outrun anybody.

JASON: We definitely need
protection, so let's up-armor it.

Look, more weight we add to this,
the slower we're gonna go.

We're gonna be damn sitting ducks.

Without protection, we'll be roadkill.

Speed or security, Master Chief?

Saw what happened with
the last two convoys,

so, let's up-armor it.

Here at driver's side.
Cover the wheels. Let's go.

CLAY: Copy that.

DAVIS: Drone feed still isn't live?

- No.
- Did you update the freqs yet?

Yes, we did.

Alex? Davis.

Davis. Yeah, of course.

I didn't place your face with that rank.

Congratulations. Must be
doing something right.

You, too, Lieutenant Commander.

So, you're running comms
for the Keating?

Well, it sounds better than it is.

- Let's see if we can figure out this encryption.
- Yeah.

Havoc, this is . We're ready to roll.

How's our route look?

DAVIS: The drone is overhead, ,

but we're not receiving the feed.

How long is that gonna take?

We're working the problem.
I'll let you know when we've got it.

Gonna be on our own till
they get that link up, Jace.

And we need every tactical
advantage we can get.

We better get rolling.

SONNY: Not sure if they're
running late or probing us.

JASON: We take him out now,
we won't get hit later.

Bravo ,

they're coming up on your right side.

Could be wrong place, wrong time.

Or it could be Boko probing our convoy.

RAY: He's falling back.

Havoc, this is . You
got the ISR link up?

DAVIS: Negative, . Working on it.

SONNY: He's about one foot away

from playing real-life bumper cars.

Want me to let a little air
out of his engine block?

This follows the pattern
of their previous att*cks.

We take 'em out now,
they won't hit us later.

Maybe we should find
out if he's armed first.

does this guy have a w*apon?

Other than the truck he's
trying to drive up my lap,

Take a warning sh*t.

Roger that.

Kick rocks, nerd.

Hooah!

Yeah, uh, about that, um...

me and, uh, Lisa, we ended up, uh...

well, we... we finished things.
