01x22 - The Cost of Doing Business

[bunniefuu]

Previously on SEAL Team...

I injured my shoulder month ago.

I also led my team leader to believe
that my shoulder was healed.

And now there's a little boy lying
in the ground who shouldn't be there.

One of your guys ended up
k*lling some local kid.

- I don't know anything about it.
- What if I told you

Xeon may have been involved
in Echo Team's death?

Involved how?

Steve knew there was
lanthanum in that soil.

Steve found traces only.

(expl*si*n) (MEN SHOUTING)

CLAY: Jason, can you hear me?

The concussion's got him a little loopy.

JASON: Your brother, Abad,

made a deal with Cutter.

- Tell me where he is.
- Parachinar.

Across the border.

(HEART b*ating,
FAINT HIGH-PITCHED RINGING)

FINLEY: Follow the light, please.

And you never lost consciousness?

I told you already, no.

And you remember the whole incident?

The crash. No gaps at all?

Yes, I remember the whole thing.

So, now, can I go? 'Cause I...

I know, you told me. You gotta get

back out there and finish this thing.

(CLEARS THROAT) And I told you

you're not going anywhere
until I clear you.

So walk me through your
memory of the crash.

Okay, look, there's this little alarm

that's inside of the helo,
and it goes off

when there's an anti-air
m*ssile that locks on.

So, the alarm goes off,

and the pilot says, "Brace".

So, he takes the stick,
and he's jamming it around...

and he saved our lives.

And after the m*ssile hit?

Must have hit the tail rotor,

'cause the chopper just
started spinning around.

Then, bam, we go down,
the bird breaks in half.

My leg,

it gets busted up.

The pilot's dead,

our comms are out, and, uh,

well, we get out alive.

Anything else you need to know?

And when you replay the incident,

there are no black spots...

No places where the film goes blank?

No.

Well, I would definitely
say you've got a concussion.

But your cognitive and motor functions

seem unaffected.

And your memory's intact

both immediately before
and since the incident.

So I have no reason to
take you out of action.

- See ya.
- Which doesn't mean

I wouldn't suggest you
take it easy a few days.

You've had a serious head injury.

A doctor's only as good as her patient.

You think he's lying about his symptoms?

You're his friend. You tell me.

Thanks, Doc.

You're welcome.

Take it easy.

JASON: Ray, look,
there's something I want to...

Well, there's something I wanted to say

in front of the doctor, but I didn't.

I knew it. I knew it.

Jason, if your head's messed up...

It's not about my head.

- Then what's it about?
- It's about Alan Cutter.

- Come on, man, not this again.
- Listen,

he made a deal with Abad Halani.

You told me that already.

Yeah, and Nouri Halani confirmed it.

Nouri Halani's deathbed confession,

that no one else heard,
confirms your insane theory?

You know what,
I know it sounds crazy, but...

- Do you?
- Yeah.

'Cause you're saying one of the biggest

m*llitary contracting
companies in this country

is in bed with a t*rror1st organization.

That's exactly what I'm saying.
That's exactly what I'm saying.

Well, who else knows about this?

I told Mandy bits and pieces.

You told Mandy, but you didn't tell me?

(SIGHS) Bits and pieces.

All right? And Amy.

Yeah, I figured as much.

All right, look, you know what, Ray,

I should have told you,
but I didn't, okay?

Sorry, but...

JASON: What's wrong?
Why are you pulling over?

RAY: 'Cause there's something
I ought to tell you.

- What?
- It's about my shoulder.

Ray, look,
I know your shoulder's not %.

It's more than that.

It's about the kid in
J-Bad that got k*lled

from my grenade when it...
When I threw it short.

My shoulder, Jace, I...

I told you that I was all good,

that the doc checked me,
cleared me for deployment.

What was the first rule Adam
used to tell the new guys

when they got to Bravo Team, huh, Ray?

Never lie to your team leader.

DAVIS:
We are looking at a fortified bunker

above Parachinar,
on the Pakistan side of Tora Bora.

You sure that's where Nouri
said Abad would be holed up?

Yeah. Why?

His bunker's built into a mountain.

I don't want to send you
in there unless we have to.

Is this gonna be a problem?

ERIC: Shouldn't be.

The brass understands
that we have a chance

to take out the entire Halani network.

Short of starting a w*r with Pakistan,

Command will be on board with
whatever it takes to get Abad.

JASON: Great.
Sun goes down in a few hours.

Puts us Parachinar in what,
: , : , right?

So, what are we missing?

Well, surveillance shows that

Nouri's men are already regrouping.

MANDY: With Nouri dead.

We assume most of them are gonna

pledge allegiance to Abad.

But there will be some holdouts who

feel like the only way to
preserve their honor is

to avenge Nouri's death.

Those guys are gonna go after Abad.

If you don't get there before they do...

We're liable to end up
right in the middle of

a real brother-against-brother
blood feud.

JASON: So, like I said, sun goes down,

we go.

Hey, hey.

I hear when you grabbed Nouri,

you started yelling at him about Cutter,

tried to get him to tell you
how they knew each other.

- Yeah. So?
- Okay, so can I assume

that when Nouri was dying,
you asked him again?

There's something I gotta do
before we go down this road.

Hey, if we keep investigating Cutter,

you're gonna be putting your girlfriend
in a really tight position.

Not just her.

It looks like someone tipped her off.

And that someone could be

up for a dishonorable discharge.

Even time in Leavenworth.

I gotta go take care of something.

I'll be back soon.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Hi...

Listen,
I just want to say that I'm not okay

with the way that...

Hey... I need you to pack.
You understand me?

Why am I packing?

Because you're leaving, that's why.

What up, Superbad?

(BOTH GROAN)

CLAY: Are we going out again tonight?

- Yep.
- Nice.

Abad Halani gets a head start,

decides to leave the mountains,

- we will never catch him.
- I could definitely use

a few more hours' sleep.
That's for damn sure.

(GRUNTS) I could have just used one.

Oh, wait, let me guess. Stella?

Yeah. I haven't been able to
reach her the last few days.

Kind of gives the imagination

some time to run wild, you know?

Yeah, you're telling me.

That big hunk of meat
Danny not call you back?

- No.
- Oh.

Yeah, I'm thinking I'm
gonna have to give that one

a little bit of a rest.

Look. He's probably nervous.

Big thing seeing someone
after three months, you know.

I mean, even if you love 'em.

Especially if you do.

If-If you get back,

and you need somebody to talk to,
I'm here.

Thank you, but I think you're gonna be

pretty occupied.

I don't know.

Maybe I should give that a rest, too.

Okay... (GRUNTS) this whole...

Oprah DeGeneres mutual support thing

is make this rather
narrow space positively

confining.

All right, if you'll forgive me...

- Never.
- I'm out.

DAVIS: Bye. (LAUGHS)

This feel right to you?

What,
voluntarily getting on a helicopter

after watching one get sh*t down?

Not that. Abad.

I mean, the guy's been
playing chess this whole time.

He's been five moves ahead.

Right? Suddenly he's at checkmate?

Got his brother out of the picture,

and now he's gonna... he's gonna hole up

somewhere Nouri's guys know about?

He's not worried they're gonna
come looking for some payback?

Man,
the fact is ISR confirms he's there.

(SOUNDS ECHOING)

Hey, let's go.

TOC, this is Bravo .
We're holding Goldfinger.

JASON (OVER COMMS):
yards from the bunker.

Copy that. Our ISR footage is still out,

so for now we're in the blind.

JASON (OVER COMMS): Bravo ,
tell me what you see.

RAY: I count one... two... three...

Five sentries,
including a machine g*ns nest

guarding the main entrance.

Seems like you probably
b*at Nouri's guys there,

but we won't know for sure
until we get a visual.

Copy that.
Let me know when you have eyes.

Hey. Hey, boss.

I say we set up sn*per overwatch,

take out the big g*ns.

Yeah, you're right.

Ray and I can...
we can perch up over there.

All right, go set it.

TOC, this is Bravo . Moving to Blofeld.

(expl*si*n, g*nf*re)

Get down! Down!

JASON: Where the hell'd that come from?

Okay, all positions hold what you got.

JASON: Somebody talk to me.

CLAY: I-I see 'em.

AK fire over here on the southeast.

RAY: Boss,
I don't think they're sh**ting at us.

It looks like it's all
directed towards the target.

Bravo , give me a sitrep.

Sir, it looks like Nouri's
guys got here after all.

They're engaging Abad's
men from the southeast.

Are you taking fire?

JASON: Negative.

I don't think they know we're here.

(g*nf*re CONTINUES)

Holy crossfire, Batman.

(g*nf*re CONTINUES)

TOC, we got a visual?

Roger, Bravo .

ISR feed is back online.

Hold your position for now.

JASON: Okay, boys,
looks like we have -yard-line seats

to a real-life Family Feud.

(g*nf*re CONTINUES)

(RAPID g*nf*re)

So what, boss? Let these guys

keep f*ring, k*ll each other?

Let these guys sh**t it out.

Well,
what if Abad and his guys end up on top?

We'll move on them then,

after Nouri's guys
soften them up a little.

Unless Abad uses the
chaos to slip out again.

We got a chance to end this
thing tonight. I say we take it.

We can't exactly walk in the front door.

There's got to be a ventilation
shaft in those bunkers.

All right, so I tell you what,
we'll slip in through the back door

while the Hatfields and McCoys,
they battle it out.

Let Nouri's guys be our cover element,
even if they don't know it.

Ray, you and Brock, you stay here.

Copy that.

Bingo.

(FAINT, HIGH-PITCHED RINGING)

(g*nshots) (CRIES OUT)

(RAPID g*nf*re)

(LOCK CLATTERS)

Bravo , hold what you got.
Do not breach the gate.

I say again, do not breach the gate.

(GRUNTS) Why?

It's rigged. This whole bunker, maybe.

Rigged how?

I can see a bunch of wires
running through the hinges.

Sit tight. Check it.

Yeah, this one's rigged, too.

All call signs, avalanche.

I repeat, say again, avalanche.

Regroup at the rally point.

TOC, this is Bravo .

The mountain's rigged.

Abad is looking to take out
whoever makes it in here.

Roger, Bravo . Wait one.

Abad's got the place wired.

It's pretty smart.

Wait for Nouri's guys
to take the bunker,

and then bring it right
down on top of them.

- Just like he did with Echo Team.
- MANDY: Abad's not an idiot.

He knows his brother's hardcore
followers will show up here.

He figures he can take
them all out at once,

end the Halani civil
w*r before it starts.

It's a shame we can't just let him.

Maybe we can.

(RAPID g*nf*re)

All right, listen up.

New plan, all right? Stay here,

watch these idiots k*ll each other,

then we're gonna go get Abad. Got it?

SONNY: See? Sometimes I feel like

I'm the only one that knows
how to have a good time.

We're going to % security,
I'm racking out.

Wake me when it's over.

(MEN YELLING)

(RAPID g*nf*re CONTINUES)

JASON: Okay, here we go.
They're heading inside.

Let's go, guys. Get up.
Wake up. Let's move.

TOC.

This is Bravo . Still have ISR up?

Roger, you are good to go.

We're keeping our eyes
peeled for squirters.

All right, look, as far as we can see

all of Nouri's guys are inside.

If Abad is watching,
this whole place is gonna go...

(EXPLOSIONS)

DAVIS: If Abad's in there,
he should be on the move.

There, there.

All Bravo call signs, be advised,

you've got three squirters,

meters east of your position,
moving north.

JASON: TOC, we're on them.

JASON: Come on!

_

_

Abad, easy.

Tell your men to put their g*ns down.

(SHOUTING IN FOREIGN
LANGUAGE) (RAPID g*nf*re)

Damn it.

Hey.

Hey, get up here.

Hey! You made a deal with Cutter. Huh?

You made a deal with Cutter.
What was the deal?

What was the deal?

Smile. Steve Porter says hi.

Send it.

Good work.

- Thank you.
- Nice work, guys.

- Welcome back.
- Welcome home.

Glad you're back safe and sound.

All right, listen up, everybody.

I know we had this
celebration once before,

thinking we got some payback for
what happened to the Echo guys,

but this time we finally earned it.

Not only did we bring justice

to the K*llers who set up our team,

but we also took down
the Halani brothers.

And that is the biggest victory

we've had in this place in years.

You should all be very
proud of yourselves.

The list that you asked me to get,

the rundown of all the things
that were shipped back home

by Mortuary Affairs for Steve,

you looking for anything in particular?

Hoping I know it when I see it.

Yeah, I thought you might say that.

What do you got?

Well, this is a list of everything

that should've been shipped home.

On / ,
he ordered an external hard drive.

It was not shipped home.

External hard drive,
you think that's something

maybe he could've taken on his ops,

maybe it got destroyed or something?

Maybe. But I think that you
think that it's still here,

and I think that you're about
to ask me to help you find it,

which means it's time for you
to tell me what's going on.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, I second that.

Okay. Let's go have a talk over here.
Come on.

ERIC: None of us should ever forget

the risk those helo guys take

getting us in and out of places we go.

And you knew all of this?

Parts of it.

Look, this doesn't necessarily mean

that Cutter was in on
the hit on Echo Team.

It's possible he just told Abad
that Steve could expose them

and Abad decided to
take him out on his own.

Even then,
it means Cutter's been covering for him.

Well, either way, Cutter's got to pay.

Question is, how do we make that happen?

Will Amy testify?

She doesn't know anything.

How about I get her in a
room and find out for sure?

You know what? She's gone.

I hope to hell you
know what you're doing.

All right.

Let's find a hard drive.

Where do we start?

His hooch, the gear tent.

No, no, it's not gonna be in his hooch.

I knew Steve.
He wouldn't put it somewhere obvious.

He'd put it somewhere that...

Think I know where it is.

Hey.

(GRUNTS)

If this ends up being sightseeing photos

or music downloads,
we're all gonna feel pretty stupid.

MANDY: These are deeds of sale, farms.

We've seen some of this stuff before.

Yeah, but not all of them.

Paul told me the guy
at the Hall of Records

said another Westerner had
been in there recently.

Just assumed it was another reporter.

JASON: You got to be kidding me.

Wow. Steve got a lot farther than I did.

BROCK: Yeah, one more, buddy.

Looking good, man.

. Oh, yeah, bud.

That's some old man
strength right there.

Yeah, good set, old man.

- ERIC: What's up, fellas?
- What's up, boss?

What's going on, Blackburn?

Get a word with you?

Yeah, yeah.

You, uh,
asked me to talk to some people,

see if I could track down Danny Cooper?

He's in the VA hospital in Hampton.

Uh, Danny's a civilian now,
so his records are private.

Couldn't get the nurse to say much,
but from what I could

put together, the Virginia
Beach cops found him in his car

with a needle in his arm. (GRUNTS)

Son of a bitch.

Yeah, well, if you don't mind me saying,

that's not the compassionate
response I was expecting.

Yeah, I don't mean him,
I just mean this whole damn situation.

What in the hell am I gonna tell Davis?

Well,
you can always try telling the truth.

It's the easiest thing to remember.

LEE:
Mr. Cutter is currently in a meeting,

you can't just go in there... Sir!

Excuse me, sir!

I am so sorry, Mr. Cutter, I told him...

No, no, no,
it's quite all right, Ms. Lee.

Actually, you know,
I'm happy to have the chance

to shake the hand of the
man who sh*t Abad Halani.

- LEE: I'll call security.
- No, there's... there's no need.

Just please, uh,
shut the door behind you.

I heard you suffered quite a nasty...

nasty bang to the head.

I'm happy to see you're
none the worse for wear.

You want to explain those?

Well, I'd rather wait until
you to tell me what they are.

Deeds, geology reports, photos.
Put that all together,

shows that you made a
deal with Abad Halani.

Ah.

Got your guys to burn
those poppy fields,

so you can get the land on the cheap.

To mine a trillion dollars in lanthanum?

And you're admitting it? (LAUGHS)

Obviously not.

Look, we've been through this, Jason.

There is no lanthanum here, we looked.

Maybe there is, maybe there isn't.

But you made a deal with Abad.

Halani's a t*rror1st.

It would've been a crime for
me to make a deal with him.

And if those papers
proved anything like that,

you'd have walked in here with the FBI.

Look, you're not totally wrong

about what's going on here, Jason.

You just got the wrong guy.

It's a new Great Game

here in the land of the Pashtun.

There's a lot of players,
there's a lot of big players,

because someday soon, when electric cars

are the only ones anyone will make,
lanthanum is gonna be

more valuable than gasoline.

Wow, when you put it that way,
I guess k*lling

six American operators,
that's just a small price to pay.

First, obviously, I didn't k*ll anybody.

Second, I just told you that one day,

lanthanum is gonna be
more valuable than oil.

And how many men have
d*ed to keep that flowing?

Hey.

You're going down.

You know, you're a good operator.

Yeah, you're committed.

It's a pity I can't offer you a job.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Security's...

CUTTER: Everything is fine, Ms. Lee,
thank you.

Uh, Master Chief Hayes
was just leaving.

Oh, and by the way, Ms. Lee,

would you mind calling Amy Nelson

for me, have her come see me?

LEE: Absolutely.

Good luck trying to find her.

You know what, Jason?

Did you ever really think about

how much a trillion dollars actually is?

A man once told me the difference

between a millionaire and a billionaire.

A million seconds

is days, a billion seconds

is years.

And a trillion seconds ago,

there were still mastodons
in North America.

w*r is hell, sure,
but it's also opportunity.

Right.

You're going down, bud.

(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Yeah.

So I take it Cutter didn't go for it?

No, it was a waste of time.

Okay, so we didn't get him to
admit to it on tape, so what?

We have other moves.

No, not those moves... What, the FBI?

I mean, that was our plan B.

Cutter's too smart for the FBI,
not gonna work.

Okay, so what's your alternative?

Oh, my alternative?
I'm working on that as we speak.

Davis told me that you asked
for a map of the main base,

and wouldn't tell her why.

Mm-hmm.

- Jason, you can't just m*rder Cutter.
- Why the hell not, right?

- We're at w*r, he's the enemy.
- You k*ll Cutter,

you're not gonna stop Xeon,
you're just gonna ruin your life.

I don't care about my life.

Well, I do.

I blow his head off,
Echo boys, they rest in peace.

That's all I know.

I hear you.

But Jason, the people behind Cutter.

The big money, in Washington, London,

Frankfurt. Islamabad.

The people who stand to
gain from all of this w*r,

they can't be stopped with a g*n.

How? How?

I wasn't sure you'd show.

Neither was I.

So you want to tell me
why you got me out here?

Is this gonna be our
relationship from now on?

It appears so.

Is there anything I can do about that?

Nothing comes to mind.

You know, I'm actually up
against a deadline, so if we

- could make this quick...
- Would that be your big exposé on...

evil American operators who,
despite taking every precaution,

accidentally k*lled a local kid?

If you're trying to talk
me out of the story,

making fun of it is really not the way.

What if I gave you a bigger story?

Hmm.

The last time you gave me a story,
it turned out to be a lie

intended to further your own interests.

Well, what are the chances

I'd be stupid enough to try that again?

This one's true. I can prove it.

I've got maps, photos,
internal company documents.

What company?

First, you have to promise
you're gonna drop the other story.

All right.

If your new story is big enough,

I'll drop the one I'm
writing about the dead kid.

If I give you what I got,

how do I know you're not just
gonna run with both stories?

I guess you're just
gonna have to trust me.

How much do you know about Alan Cutter?

JASON: Drinking alone,
now that is a slippery slope, Ray.

Well, then,
good thing you're here to s...

save me from it.

You ready to tell me what
you've been running around on

since we got back from Abad?

You, Mandy and Davis?

I think you can guess.

Cutter?

Yeah.

You know, I could help you with that.

Cutter's too dangerous.

He's the kind of guy who'll
use your wife and kids

to come after you, and I...

I got to keep you far away from that.

That's why you don't want me on it?

To protect Naima and the kids?

You lied to me, Ray.

You lied to the team,
put us all at risk.

Yes, I did.

And I owned up to it.

Oh, so you want credit for that?

Look, brother, I messed up.

Yeah, you did.

I couldn't miss deployment,

and I-I thought I could
work around the shoulder.

So where does that leave us?

Leaves us right here,
, hours before we board

that-that freedom bird to get home.

What about after that?

Well, first of all,
you're gonna get that shoulder surgery

you're saying that you don't need.

Second, uh, you're go,
uh, teach at Green Team

while you're rehabbing.

That's a good idea.

(SCOFFS)

Teach at Green Team?

Adam will love to have you.

Besides, you're got to put
in your instructor time

before, uh, Command will
even give you your own team.

Means I'll be off of Bravo
for a few months.

Sure I'm-a have a spot to come back to?

We'll talk about that
when the time is right.

We, uh, also gonna talk about
what's not wrong with your head?

(HORN HONKS TWICE)

- See you.
- Have a good one.

(SEABIRDS SQUAWKING)

Daddy!

(LAUGHS)

Oh, hey, baby girl.

Daddy missed you so much.

- I missed you, too.
- Yeah? Yeah?

Come on.

You did? (LAUGHS)

- You did?
- Yes.

- Yeah?
- Uh-huh.

You look great.

Look at you!

(SIGHS) I prefer the
view from over here.

Mm.

How you feeling?

Good. I'm good.

Come on.

(FUSSING)

He's so big.

Mm, wait till you hold him.

- Don't mind if I do.
- Come on, baby.

(CRYING)

He just has to get used to you.

Right. (CONTINUES CRYING)

All right. Come on, it's just Daddy!

Daddy,
you want to see how we redid my room?

Yeah, sweetie, I do.

I really do.

Come on, let's get going.

Yeah. Come on.

(SIGHS)

Ah. Forget how clean it is here.

You always say that.

- I do?
- Yes.

Now, there's no dust,

and dirt's in the ground
where it should be.

Is this what you wanted
to talk to me about

- on the plane?
- (SIGHS): Nah.

But... I just think we
should stop somewhere, uh,

before you drop me off.

Stop somewhere?

What, you don't think it's just
a little bit early for all that?

Or maybe you just realized
you forgot toilet paper?

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

(LAUGHS)

It's Danny.

What?

Look, look, I wanted to tell
you earlier, but I just...

- I just couldn't find the right moment.
- Okay, Sonny,

you're scaring me,
