Previously on SEAL Team...

WALKER: If w*r and scripture
have taught me anything,

it's that nothing is permanent.

JASON: Yeah, I don't buy that.
Some things, they live on forever.

♪ We're standing still on ground... ♪

Can you die at your job?

No matter what, I will
always be with you.

No one's ever gonna understand
all this, you know?

Except my brothers.

♪ When everything's moving round... ♪

Sooner or later, you're gonna
have to face life after Bravo.

♪ You breathe a light... ♪

You could be an outstanding
candidate for STA- .

Seaman to Admiral?

There's a lot that could
take you out of this job.

Don't take yourself out of it.

DAVIS: U.S. Ambassador Nicole Marsden

is traveling to north Yemen.

CLAY: Stay with me. You hear me?
Ambassador, stay with me.

JASON: I really thought that
I could be all in with you.

Bravo Team needs me more than you do.

♪ Our breaking hearts won't fill... ♪

We're in Afghanistan.
It's still a w*r zone.

(g*nf*re)

DAVIS: Somebody is just waiting
to take advantage of us leaving.

ZAHED: They call themselves Tahara.

w*r needs men like us.

Men like us need w*r.

He's the leader of the Tahara network.

Name is Azfaar Al-Hazred.

RAY: Related to Asim Al-Hazred.

You taking out Al-Hazred...
it changed history.

You gonna say it didn't change you?

You're gonna help make this place safer.

Tell my wife and son.

Your dad was a hero.

You are the reason my husband is dead!

(SOBBING)

- (BARKING)
- JASON: This dog...

- is a warrior.
- You gotta know the signs.

- JASON: Signs? What you talking...
- BROCK: It's on me to know

when he's had enough.

We keep marching into this hell,

it's gonna have an impact on our life.

MANDY: And we've both convinced
ourselves it's worth it.

JASON: Our team needs its leader.

I take my eye off the
target, people die.

- Hey, hey!
- What's up, boys?

What's up, man?

Good, good.

What's up, bud? Good to see you, man.

ERIC: Let's get together, fellas!

Let's bring it in.

All right.

First off, I would like
to thank Romeo Team,

Echo Team... these guys ripped in here

from Syria, Guam on a moment's notice.

I can't thank you enough for being here.

I know you're tired,

but I assure you this
will be worth your haul.

Ensign Davis has a good one for us.

Operation Aries.

The target is Azfaar Al-Hazred,

the leader of the Tahara network.

Bravo Team located one
of Al-Hazred's couriers

a few weeks ago and we
tracked his movements

into the Spin Ghar mountain region.

Junior ain't exactly hiding
in plain sight like his pops.

The courier's pattern of life indicates
that the Tahara stronghold

is likely in one of three
possible locations.

All are in a section walled in by
Afghanistan's highest peaks,

so it's like a punchbowl.

High altitude, rough terrain,
it's practically impenetrable.

That's before anybody
starts sh**ting at us.

What kind of protection
does he have up there?

Using the name his dad made famous,

Al-Hazred had built a loyal following

of well-trained, well-armed fighters.

Hundreds of true believers

who are willing to lay
their lives down for him.

ERIC: The actions on consist
of two phases... first,

Bravo, Romeo and Echo,

will infil to one of the suspected
Tahara camp locations.

DAVIS: Team that locates
the camp will set up an OP

and wait for the other
two teams to arrive.

From there, you will launch
a coordinated as*ault.

So why don't we b*mb these
locations, soften 'em up first?

Ah, they're just gonna hit
their tunnels underground,

wait for the fireworks to be over.

RAY: Then disappear before we arrive.

Seen that movie way too many times.

All right, look, they definitely
have the advantage,

so what do we have for overwatch,

level the playing field?

Well, thanks to our limited
assets in the region,

we have an AC-
on station for the infil.

So one bird and three teams

spread out all over devil's mountain?

Drawdown strikes again.

DAVIS: Al-Hazred's influence
and reach are spreading.

We need to strike while we still
have him in our crosshairs.

ERIC: Look,

with the drawdown concluding,

this could very well be our last
major action in Afghanistan.

Consider this your glorious goodbye.

Let's make the most of it.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

MANDY: Hey.

Thought I'd check in with
you before you roll out.

Haven't seen you around much lately.

Yeah, you know, keeping
the boys focused up.

Wasn't like I was avoiding
you or anything like that.

I wasn't suggesting you were.

What happens in J-Bad stays in J-Bad.

What happens in J-Bad stays in J-Bad...

that's good to know, Mandy.

We needed a distraction.

It's been a bumpy
deployment for both of us.

Hasn't been a bumpy deployment for me.

I'm good. Just another deployment.

I'm sorry. So, just one second.

Are you telling me that
hunting the son of the man

you k*lled over a decade ago...

that... that doesn't faze you at all?

You know...

It's just another op.

The tip of the spear
goes where it's pointed.

I've seen enough to know
this isn't just another op.

Come home safe.

(SIGHS)

Hey.

- RAY: Yo.
- Prime Time, hit me up.

- There it is.
- RAY: What's the word, Hayes?

We rolling out or what? I'm bored.

Yeah, the op's tonight, right?

My trigger finger's getting all tingly.

Nobody tells Bravo
anything. I don't know.

THIRTY MIKE: We got the most
wanted man in the world

in our crosshairs, and the
cake eaters getting cold feet.

Al-Hazred has got no clue
Prime Time Perry's coming

to schwack his ass.

No way a meat-stick like
you is gonna be the one

who brings that Ace of
Spades down hard, Ray.

- Huh-uh.
- Damn straight, Cujo.

I'll tell you what. A newbie
like him... there's no way

he's bagging a big
game trophy like that.

Well, I might be the newest... Yeah?

- ... but I'm also the baddest.
- Oh.

- Hmm?
- That's right.

There's a lot of talk
coming from these two.

I ain't seen any results, have you?

Mad shade coming from
Ward Cleaver over here.

- Ward Cleaver? (LAUGHS)
- Haven't you... ? Yes, Ward Cleaver.

- Oh.
- Haven't you been shacked up

with the same broad since high school?

Hey, it's tough to get results
when you're tucked in bed

- by : every night.
- That's a fact.

Oh, boom, boom. Psh. Good one.

- CUJO: You're doing it right, Jason.
- That's right.

Rolling out on the biggest
spec op in history,

then headed home in time

for Alana to give birth
to your baby boy.

Damn straight. Just hope the
brass comes down quickly,

you know, 'cause I got
to get back in two days,

or Alana's gonna k*ll me.
I tell you that.

Leaving his brothers to get elbow deep

- in diapers and butt paste.
- Wow.

Hayes, you need to get your
priorities in check, brother.

- Is that right? You know what?
- RAY: Yeah.

Someday you're gonna realize that

chasing action on and off the field...

that's... yeah, that's not
what life's all about.

Should vote your ass out the
pipehitter's union for saying that.

Yeah, don't make me pin
your ass again, Thirty.

- Oh, okay.
- Whoa. Won!

Knock it off! Need you all
to get front-sight focused.

We good to go, boss?

We're a go.

- We're a go, man.
- Meet at the TOC

- in !
- JASON: That's right, big time.

This is the big one, brother.

How about you take a seat
and learn from the best?

SONNY: Hey, Jace? Jace?

SONNY (WHISTLES): Hey, Jace?

You good?

Yeah, no. I'm just, uh... I'm
getting front-sight focused.

That's all.

We were just saying that
if we take out Junior,

you'll have bookended
Al-Hazred's reign of terror.

SONNY: Yeah, that's one you
got to tell the grandkids.

THIRTY MIKE: Yeah, more like a story
they'll be making movies about.

Someone's gonna pay a ton of dough

if we play this right, Hayes.

Could be set up for
life after operating.

All right, Thirty, why don't you
just stay in your three-foot world?

Once you step out,

people get hurt.

THIRTY MIKE: Well, that was some
Knute Rockne-level pep talk.

(WHISTLES)

- Hey.
- There you go.

Has Jason been acting
like somebody pee-peed

on his carpet all deployment?

Ever since we found out
about Al-Hazred Jr.

Yeah, when you're hunting
the son of a man

that you k*lled years ago,

that'd mess with my head, too.

(GROWLING, BARKING)

(EXHALES)

CLAY: It's deeper than that.

You know, drawdown, plus making peace

with an enemy he's been
fighting for years?

Got to make him question if all
the sacrifice that he's made

has been worth it.

Maybe he's just feeling let
down by his teammates,

when he puts it all
on the line for them.

SONNY: What in the hell you
stirring up now, Thirty?

THIRTY MIKE: Clay's going to STA- .

That's a rejection of everything
Jason dedicated his life to.

Same for Ray choosing warrant officer

over becoming Bravo someday.

The team's evolving.

Can't hold that against us.

Yeah, what about this
Marsden letter business?

Someone on Bravo playing
Woodward and Bernstein?

Trying to make it seem like
he lost control of his team?

Dude puts it on the line

for all of you guys,

and this is the thanks he gets?

None of it's personal.

Yeah.

When the team's all you got,

it has to be.

(CERBERUS BARKING)

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (PANTING)

(BARKING)

No, I asked, why are
you so pretty at work?

No. Yes.

(SIGHS)

Should know better than to
try to slip anything past you,

can I, baby?

Nah, we're gonna be
offline for a few days.

NAIMA: Just come home safe.

That's all that matters
to anyone in this house.

People in that house is what
matters to me the most.

How's Jameelah doing?

Counting the days until Daddy gets home

and delivers on his promise.

Ugh. I will not be taking the easy
way out with her ever again,

- I promise you that.
- I know.

But for now, just focus on you.

I-I've got it all covered here.

When all I... My focus was just on me?

It's just... it's just hard to
believe it's been years

since I crawled into
that emergency room.

You missing those wild days?

(LAUGHING): No. No, no, absolutely not.

I was so lost back then, baby.

Oh, you made me the man I am today.

Never gonna lose sight of that.

Makes me nervous when you
get all sentimental like this.

No, don't be worried.

I'm just saying, I cannot wait
for this deployment to end

so I can get back home and
kiss you and those babies.

JASON: So, Emma threw all
of her dolls out the window?

She's not even... He's not even born,

and she's already competing with him.

You tell that little bundle
of joy in that tummy,

do not come out for two days,

'cause in two days,
I will be on a plane.

Family is the priority.

Always comes first, all right?

All right. I love you.

(LAPTOP CLOSES)

J. J.

Want to use this, brother?

Sure you don't want to Skype? Lots to...

Lots of words to say
before an op like this.

No, I-I got no time for that, Ray.

No time.

Hey, you sure you good, brother?

Seem a little spooked.

Yeah, I'm good.

I'm all right.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Oh! Nice of you to join
us on this one, Hayes.

Guess Mandy doesn't
need a chauffeur today.

(MEN LAUGH)

Yo! Just realized this is the first time

we got the whole team back together,

rolling out, in months.

Lot of moving parts on this one.

Maybe we should've
eased back into things

and gotten our groove back

before reenacting Tet Offensive.

You know, I can't think of
a better mission for us

to have our reunion tour on

because Bravo always gets the big ops.

- Pa-hew!
- (MEN LAUGH)

Hey!

Flip the switch.

Focus up.

RAY: Just like Jace.
Got to make sure you good.

- Right? (LAUGHS)
- (MAN LAUGHS)

Yeah, yeah.

- Hey, yo, Jace!
- MAN: Hey!

You think we'll go to the,
uh, White House after this?

- JASON: What?
- Yeah!

You know, you know the president's
gonna want to spike the football

after we put Al-Hazred on ice.

Hey, yo, I got dibs on
the Lincoln Bedroom.

- (ALL LAUGH)
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Hey, hey, hey, guys,

Secret Service is not gonna
be letting you creeps in.

(LAUGHS) Oh, mock all you want, Hayes,

but I know you're hoping your
son comes out just as pretty

- and as dangerous as his Uncle Ray.
- JASON: Is that right?

- That's right. Yes.
- 'Cause you are a role model, Prime Time.

- RAY: Role model, baby. That's me!
- Role model.

(ALL LAUGH) RAY: I can see
that. You like an enigma.

- (LAUGHS)
- Hey, your second kid's a game changer, Jace.

Twice the kids,

- ten times the headache.
- JASON: Tell you what.

Alana and I, we want a big family.

I think at least four kids.

- Four. Four.
- You better get to work, then.

- Four, baby!
- JASON: I'm gonna get to work.

All right, we got to get the
brass to get us out of here,

'cause Alana's gonna k*ll me

- if I don't get home.
- Hayes.

I know you're excited to get home,

but I need your head here.

Three-foot world.

Yeah. Roger that, Guz.

Teammates look up to you.

They see you doing it
right, they'll do it right.

Yeah, right. What, I can't
think about home?

I'm saying when we're outside the wire,

home is where you hang your helmet.

You're no good to me on target

if your mind is back in Vah Beach.

- Someone needs decaf.
- (ALL LAUGHING)

JASON: He went like this...

Hey!

You were a little hard on
the boys back there, huh?

Try to focus them up. That's all, Ray.

Come on, Jace.

This is the biggest op of
most of their careers.

I mean, we were pretty jacked up

when we went after Al-Hazred's daddy.

Move, move, move! Let's go.

Come on, get on. Get on.

Seems like that was the op
that changed everything!

Negative, Ray!

Ops don't change anything!

- They're now on foot.

All teams have made their windows,

except there is one issue.

AC- wants to leave station

- to refuel.
- MAN: Negative.

Hammer needs to stay on station.

My boys kicked the
hornet's nest on that TIC.

Yeah. Running into the Tahara
patrol was unfortunate.

Cost us the element of surprise.

That contact may draw more
enemy onto my team's position.

With only one bird in the sky,

all the more reason to keep
the AC- over my team.

Ensign Davis,

have the AC- stay on
station as long as they can.

DAVIS: Yes, sir.

We're on course.

ERIC: Bravo , this is Havoc.
Be advised,

Hammer is softening an
overwatch position for Romeo,

then pulling off the station.

That's good copy.

Bravo out.

(CERBERUS WHINING)

- Your pooch looks skittish.
- Ah, he's fine, bro.

JASON: AC- is doing
a CAS run for Romeo.

Then they're going off
station to refuel. Got it?

- Copy.
- No overwatch.

Hanging out in daylight.

What could possibly go wrong?

Hey, Thirty, bitching is my thing.

Stay in your damn lane.

(PANTING)

JASON: Get a sign and go low.

Jackpot.

CLAY: Looks like we might get
first cr*ck at Al-Hazred after all.

SONNY: Ain't that a sight?

Looks like jihad Coachella down there.

More like Allah-Palooza.

What the hell I just tell you
about staying in your lane?

Want me to set up a mission
support site, boss?

Yeah, you set MSS.

I'll set up the O.P. up here
with Clay and Sonny.

Take the boys, get to work. Got it?

Copy that.

I just heard from Bravo Team.

They've located the compound.

ERIC: Congrats, Ensign Davis.

The noose around
Al-Hazred is tightening.

I'm gonna send Bravo's pos to both Echo

and Romeo Teams' ATAK systems.

How far are they out from Bravo?

That Tahara team they engaged
with slowed them down.

I put 'em at least a two-hour hike away.

Same for Echo Team.

All right, have 'em make
their way to Bravo.

Where we at with CAS?

They're still an hour out. Same for ISR.

That's a long time for nobody
watching anyone's six out there.

By the time these other teams get here,

Junior might have slipped away.

Crocodile Blondie might be right.

Romeo rang the bell with
that gunfight earlier,

so them dirtbags know we're up
here roaming around for sure.

JASON: If we kick this off
alone, we'll be outgunned

with no overwatch.

I don't intend to lose any
men on this mountain.

We wait.

SONNY: Your call, Jace.
You know the deal.

We'll follow you to hell.

It's too quiet, man.

I hate the waiting around part.

So take a nap.

It'll be good to give that
mouth of yours a rest.

RAY: Not a chance.

Thirty talks trash even in his sleep.

TRENT: Hold up, I got movement.

RAY: What? I don't see anything.

No, no, no. On thermal.

Dozens of heat signatures.

Something's about to kick off.

We got nothing to sh**t at.

"Hardest part is living with the fact

that this is who I chose

They're gone. They're in the past.

We move forward. That's what we do.

... from some other rock, and on and on.

And on and on and on.

You're gonna find them,

so clear and so right.

And years later...

Okay. What about it?

Well, I was hoping you could explain

the high-level thinking to me.

You know, why the DoD's
so concerned about it.

You don't think the
concern is warranted?

I think it's a waste of the
Navy's time and resources.

Well, not when someone under my command

accused the State Department of lying

on the front page of
The Washington Post.

The letter was sent
to a private citizen,

and no intel or tactics were revealed.

Not to mention the State Department

was lying about the ambassador.

You know that doesn't matter.

I mean, whoever wrote the letter

put his future with the
Navy in serious jeopardy.

Couldn't stand the thought of her kids

thinking that their mother
was anything but a hero.

You wrote the letter?

I did.

I didn't think that the family
would take it to the media.

Seems you have more in
common with the cowboys

on Bravo Team than I thought.

I will talk to NCIS.

I would prefer to handle this
internally, for both our sakes.

Come on, man. Who else on
Bravo would be so selfless?

No, it was more like reckless.

Now I got you caught up in my mess.

But the world now knows

who Marsden was, and
that's what matters.

You did the right thing.

And you are doing the wrong thing

by trying to take the rap for me.

I can't unring the bell, Ray.

What about your future, huh?

I like where I am.

You like where you're
going. It's a win-win.

That's real noble of you, Clay.

It is, but I can't let you do it.

You want to go tell
Lindell that it was you?

Because then I get busted for lying

and you can kiss warrant
officer goodbye.

Why the hell couldn't you just
let this investigation flame out?

Because someone was gonna
have to take the hit

and it didn't need to be you.

dues to get where he is,

has a family to look out
for, a brand-new house.

Yeah. The time off will be good for him.

I might have to adjust
my visitation schedule

when you're in Newport for STA- .

Actually, that won't be an issue.

Why's that?

You're not going, are you?

Command needed a fall guy
for the Marsden letter.

You're not naive enough
to have written it.

You're paying for someone else's crime.

Why?

Because Lindell will take it easy on me.

Cover his own ass after pumping me up

as being the future of the Navy.

Did the team put you up to this?

No.

So you voluntarily threw
away your future.

I protected my brothers.

More like hit the self-destruct button.

After three months on deployment,

you changed your mind,

and this is a way to bail on a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

without actually bailing.

What I did over there mattered.

Do you think that it was
a mistake to say yes

to STA- in the first place?

(EXHALES) I think I was confused

about how I fit in with the team.

And I think I made a few
wrong turns along the way.

Am I one of those wrong turns?

You call me when you figure it out.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You know, it is a damn shame

it takes Ray Perry to disappear on us

for you to come hang.

- (LAUGHS)
- Huh? (LAUGHS)

Glad you're here, though.

- Good to see you.
- Good to see you, too.

You know, I don't know
how much of a regular thing

this is gonna be, but I miss
hanging with the team.

Yeah. You know, here I am thinking

that Agent Cody Banks

has turned you off door kickers, too.

Think you're overestimating

- his role in my life.
- No.

- Yes.
- You two are done-zo?

- See ya later.
- Wow.

Well, uh, you know,
he was, uh, he was a...

he... (CHUCKLES)
he was, he was a nice guy.

- (LAUGHS)
- He is a nice guy, thank you.

He just wasn't worth the
effort of long distance.

Hey, you know, we never got
to do a postmortem on Texas.

- Yeah.
- Obviously, you survived.

Ah, yeah. I, uh...

I better than survived.

You know, I got to patch
things up with my pops.

- Good for you.
- Yeah, it feels good.

Hi.

You made it back in one piece.

Looks like the rest
of the team did, too.

- Mission accomplished.
- Yeah. (CLEARS THROAT)

Mission accomplished.

So, what brings you out here tonight?

A celebration, actually.

A paper I wrote got published.
Lindell put me up

for the Navy Meritorious
Civilian Service Award.

I don't know what that means,

- but, uh, congratulations.
- (LAUGHS)

I don't care about the award.

I'm just glad my work's
being acknowledged.

You know, um, Lindell,
he wasn't right about much,

but he was definitely spot-on about you.

I'll say that.

RAY: Can't believe I got less
than a week with my family

before I got to disappear again.

Well, look, Ray.
I mean, put it this way.

At least, you know, your daughter
doesn't have to worry

you're gonna get k*lled
in Rhode Island, right?

(CHUCKLES) True.

Still got questions, though.
You try explaining

what a warrant officer
is to an eight-year-old.

Have to explain it to me first.

Heard about Mandy.

She really done?

Yeah, we'll see.

I had her pegged for a lifer.

Why not?

Something you're not telling me, Ray?

He didn't write it.

He's covering for me.

You wrote it?

I'm sorry.

You told him, and he offered?

I didn't tell him anything.

He just took it on himself.

Huh.

("CAN'T YOU SEE" BY THE MARSHALL
TUCKER BAND PLAYING)

Sending Ray off here has
got me thinking about, uh,

about Bravo Team's past
and-and its future.

You know, Guzo.

(CHUCKLES)

My first team leader.

He taught me what it meant
to be all in all the time.

And that's a steep price.

A steep price and it's not for everyone.

I'm a better warrior than
I ever was a husband

or a father.

But that, see, that was
the choice I made.

The choice I made
was-was to win the fight

and bring my brothers home.

My men and my mission came first.

But we just took out the son of a man

that I k*lled years ago,
and it seems to me

like this mission isn't
ending anytime soon.

And from this last deployment,

it just showed me that...

you boys can take care of each other.
