That was good, Bear, real motivational.

You want Buddha to change his mind and stay, you might want to show the guy a little love.

Got it.

Buy him a beer, dude, take him out for dinner.

The last hour, we've seen several apparently coordinated att*cks... on a movie theater in Istanbul, on an Army training facility in Jakarta, and our embassy in Tanzania... small teams using state-of-the-art gear and highly organized command and control.

These were like Paris 2.0. Could be an !sis affiliate.

Could be A.Q. Could be independent.

Bottom line... these guys appear to be well-trained, with a degree of coordination we haven't seen before.

All right, there's one more thing, apparently unrelated.

24 hours ago, armed men assaulted a girls' school 80 miles northwest of Benin City, Nigeria.

Hostages were taken... a teacher, a couple dozen school girls.

They k*lled an American security contractor and a videographer and posted some of his photos on their website.

I got some bad news.

They also captured Richard Taggart, former troop chief of this command, who apparently was working for the same private contractor.

As of now, Rip has not been I.D.'d as a former member of SEAL Team Six.

And I don't have to say how much personal danger that would put him in or how much of a security risk knowing what he knows he would be.

Sir, who has him?

Boko Haram. Right, Lieutenant?

Kidnapping schoolchildren is one of their M.O.s.

Boko Haram is Africa's largest t*rror1st organization.

They don't mess around.

They k*lled more people last year than !sis did.

We're tracking an HVT, a courier with intimate knowledge of Boko Haram's operations.

He may know where Rip is.

SIGINT has him headed to a meeting in Lagos Harbour.

All right, White Squadron, we're on the hook for this.

Sir, my team wants that mission.

I already tasked you with it. You guys are on a short leash while we develop the target package.

One hour recall till further notice.

I didn't know Rip was in Africa, did you?

Had no idea.

Must be making a k*lling on his contracts.

Hey, we should talk about this later.

Hey, Bear, did you know he was in Africa?

Let him go, Bear.

This is on you.

[Grunts]

He was there because of you.

Hey, Joe. Joe, let him go.

Joe! Joe!

[Gasping]

[Breathing heavily]

It's not his fault.

It's not anybody's fault. It just is.

Now, we're gonna fix this because that's what we do.

We're gonna bring Rip back home.

Hmm?

You okay?

Mm-hmm.

What the hell was that about, Ortiz?

We don't get to know, do we, Buddha?

Know what?

What really happened in Afghanistan, why Rip got out so fast.

Rip got out because he had personal problems.

His wife left him and cleaned out his bank account.

There you go. Happy now?

Joseph.

Honey?

Hey.

You should.

Rip crossed the line. He lost his self-control.

The only line that I care about is between good and evil, and Rip was on the side of good.

You've seen everything we've seen, and you still think it's that simple?

You betrayed your troop chief.

You might as well have gut-sh*t him.

I didn't tell Rip anything he didn't know himself.

That's why he left.

You lose it like he did, I'll do the same thing to you.

Well, that's where you and I are different.

That's one way.
