Previously on SEAL Team...

DR. WATKINS: I have an update
on Petty Officer Sawyer.


We'll bring him out
of his coma tomorrow morning.

Looks like you guys took some hits.

RAY: We've been helping out
this homeless vet, Sam.


Naima was gonna take him
down to the DMV,


but he never showed.

HANNAH: So, what's y'all's story?

- Just friends.
- Mm-hmm.

RAY: You two might actually
have a future together.


You're afraid of making it real.

You're a prime candidate
for Breacher's Syndrome.

So is every other frogman.

I encourage you to look now,

before the effects become disastrous.

CLAY: Found a room with
an expl*sive hazard.

JASON: Mark it for EOD.

Put the breach next to that door!

[expl*si*n]

Jason brought the building down.

- [expl*si*n]

RAY: Grenade!

[expl*si*n]

MANDY: You know, it's tragic, really.

What's that?

Even a Tier One legend

can't escape taking work home with him.

Well, I'm not home.

[LAUGHS] Okay, um, taking work

to his secret Delaware den of iniquity.

Been clicking away most of the night.

Well, I'll put the work away.

- Okay?
- Um, I'm just...

kidding. I totally get it

if there's fallout to deal with.

Fallout? What do you mean by that?

Last op put Bravo in the hospital.

I'm sure Command wants a paper trail

after a near disaster like that.

JASON: Enemy got lucky
with an RPG, all right?

Everyone's fine.

Clearly.

Look, last night, I...

My body wasn't really
cooperating with me.

[LAUGHS]

Oh, my God.

I'd say it cooperated

by any reasonable human standard.

[SIGHS] You just called me the "H" word.

You did not call me
the "H" word, did you?

[CHUCKLES] Doesn't have
to be a marathon every time.

Mm... Maybe we're due for a

change of locale?

Thought you liked this spot?

- Oh, I do.
- Yeah?

Maybe next time...

... we go your way.

Yeah. Yeah. Maybe.

Mm-hmm.

Tell you what, instead of a marathon,

how about a K?

Metric system?

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, go on.

[LAUGHING]

[LAUGHS] Hey.

- Hey.
- Wow, you look radiant.

- [LAUGHS] Thank you.
- Mm.

What happened? Did you guys
stop at the Bulkhead

on the way back from
the radiologist or something?

Uh, not exactly.

- He's, uh...
- [CLEARS THROAT]

He's buzzed on good news.

Tumor showing signs of shrinkage.

That's right.

Finally figured out
it's messing with Ash Spenser.

- [LAUGHS]
- Are you serious?

See if they can inject
some humility in him

- when I take him to chemo later.
- [CHUCKLES]

Three more sessions
and then they reevaluate.

Wow. [STAMMERS] I'm so happy for you.

That's amazing.

- Right?
- Yeah.

I am gonna go for a walk at the beach.

- It's a beautiful day...
- Yeah.

... and a target-rich environment
for a little eye candy.

At least your boorishness
hasn't been cured.

[LAUGHS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Hey, I'm, uh...

Look, I'm sorry I missed
the prenatal checkup again.

It's okay. It was only
five minutes, no big deal.

No, I... I should've been there.

You've got enough on your mind.

You didn't sleep again.

Hard to rest when
I'm about to drop a b*mb

on my-my friend and team leader.

Are you sure he's so oblivious
to the mistake that he made?

You said yourself he's been laying low

since you came back from the hospital.

Could be he smells an ambush.

But you're not attacking him.
You're trying to help him.

Yeah, by telling him
his head's so cracked

he nearly blew up his own team.

Well, you said there's
some new TBI treatments

you could talk to him about.

Yeah, but, I mean, all he's gonna hear

is that his bird's at risk.

And if you keep quiet?

Are you and your teammates lucky enough

to end up in the hospital
next time he slips up?

I'll talk to him. Today.

♪ ♪

Oh. Kid's still got me b*at
with table manners.

Yeah, fashion sense, too, with those

absurd slippers you're wearing.

Oh, come on, man,
these are the official footwear

of me yelling at kids
to get off my lawn.

[LAUGHS] I-I think this

dad life suits me.

You put a stick figure family
on our minivan,

- I'm staging an intervention.
- [LAUGHS]

Ah, tell you what,
I'm happier than a fat kid

at a buffet right now,
having you two here.

You know, home with my family.

I just don't want you thinking
you have to suddenly be

Mister Rogers, quick
as all this came together.

Whoa. Pump the brakes.

'Cause PBS can be switched

to Skinemax at night.

Okay? You got channels here.

Five hundred.

[CHUCKLES]

Yes, Mom. Love you, too.

Well, she wired the money.

It'll be in our account tomorrow.

Feels heavy, huh?

No heavier than being told
how much my dad's life was worth

after the Towers came down.

You know, I was happy
that the-the / settlement

was gonna take care of Mom, but I...

I never wanted to think about the money.

You made her happy by accepting it.

Babe, the...

That money is...

it's just another reminder

that Pop would still be
here if it wasn't for me.

You've been dealing with

so much.

Your PTS drama,

questions you've been raising
about the impact

your missions have on the world.

Yeah.

Only months
till your -year pension.

This money could allow you

to step away from
operating if you wanted.

Babe, -year is not a
guarantee with someone

squealing to Command about
my issues last deployment.

Besides, I... [SIGHS]

Pop didn't give his life
so I could kick my damn feet up.

Not what I'm saying.

You're always gonna be
living with purpose.

This is a chance to

refocus on what that purpose is.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

[CHEERING ON TV]

Hey, I'm gonna go across the street

and get a sandwich and a beer.
You want anything?

Oh, yeah, I'll take my usual. Thank you.

[CELL PHONE BUZZING]

Hayes.

Yes, sir.

Yeah, right away.

What's wrong?

Uh...

I got to go back to the base.

Right now? What's going on?

Soto didn't say. I...

So urgent you can't tell them
you're out of town?

I can't. I mean, come on,
you know that. It's-it's my job.

- Yeah.
- And, look, I wish I could stay,

- but I can't, all right?
- I know.

I'll, uh...

I'll be back soon, all right?
Just, uh... I'll be back.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

You wanted to see me, sir?

- Master Chief Hayes.
- Yeah.

Something concerning has come to light.

What's that?

NSA techs who scan the web
for operator security

found an image that has been
in heavy circulation among

Islamic extremist sites.

That's the train takedown
in Burkina Faso.

The sites are blaming this
operator for foiling the plot

and taking out the would-be
martyrs on board.

Well, you know, it's not
the best sh*t for my fan club.

Could hardly identify me
with those sunglasses on.

There's another image that
started to pop up with that one.

sh*t of you outside base.
Your face and location

are out there.

They got my name? My address?

NSA hasn't found evidence
of any personal information

having been uncovered, but that
doesn't mean it won't happen.

There have been multiple
incidents of service members

being doxxed like this
and assailants using

the personal details to as*ault them.

Yeah, well, all the enemy
I've faced, I'm not worried

about some toxic dirtbag
hiding behind a keyboard.

This thr*at is legitimate.

It could be closer to home
than any of us realize.

The Navy will provide secure
housing on base at Norfolk.

I'm sorry, are you serious?

You need to take
every measure to protect

yourself and your family.

- RAY: Jace.
- Yeah.

Thought you were out of town?

Oh, uh, Command called me in.

I had to talk to him about something.

Command?

Yeah, Command.

What-What'd they say?

Hope they didn't call you in
on account of me.

Some, uh, extremist website out there...

there's some pictures of me.

You were young, and you
needed the money. [LAUGHS]

When I went in on the train,
and I was unmasked, I...

Livestream picked up a profile on me.

Now, I got to get my family safe.

- What could we do to help?
- Nothing.

You know, uh...

Emma's coming down,
my mom's coming to get Mikey,

and, uh, I'm gonna put them up at, uh,

at a base hotel in Norfolk.

That's got to have them freaked out.

No, it's not, actually. You know what?

They're not freaked out.

Problem is I got to go
to Philadelphia now

and convince my dad to come back.

And that... He's a f*cking
pain in the ass.

Well, if your dad's
anything like my dad,

I'd say you'd probably need
Bravo for the op.

Well, I'll handle it.

- Hey, Jason?
- Yeah?

Hey, uh... I know the timing sucks,

but, uh, I got, I got to,
I got to tell you all something.

Uh, after today,

I-I need to stand down for a while.

After the hospital,
you know, I-I thought

I could go jump right back in, but, uh,

it's-it's not happening.

Your head?

Head's good. Neck
down's the problem. Uh...

This last op did some new damage
to my back and my hip,

and I'm still five surgeries
behind on the old stuff.

Apparently,

ignoring injuries over time
doesn't actually heal them.

How long you gonna be out for?

Honestly, I-I don't know.

Uh, a month, a year?

It scares me to even think about it.

Being away from Bravo is gonna k*ll me,

but...

you guys deserve the best version of me.

So...

Really sorry to hear about this.

Ah... You know I love you guys.

RAY: Love you, too, buddy.

[CHUCKLING]

Take care of yourself.

See you, man.

Bye. Good luck.

See you, brother.

- Have a good one, all right?
- Yeah.

Be safe, man. See you.

Go, uh, go take care
of your family, man.

Will do.

[QUIET CHATTER]

Excuse me.

Uh, you know a man named Sam Hughes?

He had a

blue tent behind
the grocery store on Oakwood?

Never heard of him, Officer.

[CHUCKLES] It's not like that.
I'm not a cop.

Big Red One.

Might've worked with you
in Ghazni back in .

Sam hasn't been around for weeks.

You're looking to swap w*r stories,

knock on any of the other tents.

Thank you for your time.

That's terrible about Jason. How scary

for his family. My God.

Yeah. [SCOFFS]

Here I thought I was gonna be the one

blasting a hole in his day.

Dad, I'm gonna, uh, I'm-a take a shower,

and then we'll head off to chemo.

You know, I've been thinking, um,

if I'm gonna be above ground a
little longer than we expected,

we might want to set up some boundaries.

I'm all for fun and games
and grandpa duties and all that,

but don't think for a second

you're gonna be getting
some free childcare out of me.

Oh, oh, wow, all right,
don't worry. Hey, there are

uh, there are some deposed
dictators that are higher up

- on that list than you.
- [LAUGHS] Really?

Yeah. We're-we're good.

Ah, well, you say that now,
but just wait

until you're all spun-up
and she's on no sleep

and she's pulling her hair out.

You're gonna be singing
a different tune then.

STELLA: Uh, okay, okay. I already,

I already talked to the CYP department

at Norfolk, who referred me
to some amazing daycares,

and I have a growing
network of support between

Naima and Hannah and all of
Blackburn's ex-wives.

Plus, there's also caffeine,
which I like, so that's good.

That's good.

I mean, it sounds like
you won't even really need me.

I'm just trying to plan
for what we can't plan for.

[CELL PHONE BUZZING]

Okay.

You can... You should go.

I'll-I'll take him to his appointment.

Yeah. Don't worry about it, son.
She's better for my ego anyway.

We got it handled.

Yeah.

You've got it handled.

[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]

Dad.

Dad, it's me. Come on. We got to go.

Dad?

[SIGHS] Come on. Let's go.

Told you it'd be a waste
of time driving up here.

All right, look, I told Mom
I would get you to the hotel,

so I got to get you to the hotel.

You know you got Mom scared now.
She thinks !sis

is gonna be pissing in her azaleas.

That's great. You know what?

I'm just trying to follow
protocol, all right?

Get your bag packed and let's go.

I couldn't go if I wanted to.

I got a football banquet tomorrow night.

My kids need me there.

What good would a banquet be
without a head coach?

Your kids need you, right?
You're in danger right now.

Do you understand me?
So what do you say we

just put the bad chicken dinner
and the Knute Rockne quotes,

put them on hold and let's go.

Well, it's not medals
in the Oval Office,

but it does mean a little
something to some people.

Dad, please. I'm just trying
to keep you safe. Can we go?

Then come on in and relax...

I don't want to come in and relax.

...'cause I'm not going anywhere.

Here we are.

Fadhil Morad. Iraqi national
who spent a decade

carving out a reputation as the
most formidable arms trafficker

along the Iraq-Turkey border.

The weapons he and his men have smuggled

has had an immeasurable impact
on warfare in the region,

while making Morad a wealthy man.

Arms trafficker's a little low
on the food chain

for the Spec Ops shark, isn't it?

Bravo won't be spinning up
to eliminate Morad.

We'll be going to make friends with him.

You're sending a SEAL team
to make friends?

What, was the PAW Patrol busy?

[LAUGHS]

Only time I'll ever say this,
I am sure as hell glad

that Jason ain't rolling
with us because the man

makes friends like a porcupine
in a nudist colony.

DAVIS: Morad's position in the
underworld has him tapped into

streams of intel that
our agency cannot access.

Convincing him to share that intel

could provide crucial insight

into those nations' defense programs.

To that end, our partners
in the UK's MI

have arranged for a sit-down with Morad

to provide him a cache of intel
in hopes he'll reciprocate.

Bravo Team will accompany

two British Special Boat Service
operators to the meeting

at a remote location in northern Iraq.

A lot of firepower for
a "friendly" get-together, yeah?

SOTO: Morad and his men are
hardened, well-armed criminals.

They've had previous
dealings with the Brits,

which ended badly.

Few years back, the Brits
tried to win Morad over

by feeding him some intel,
turned out to be wrong,

got one of Morad's men k*lled.

So this sit-down could be
more of a setup.

Chance for Morad to get revenge.

With Jason sidelined,

Ray will be serving as team leader.

SONNY: Oh, God, we're down
two men before high tea.

What a day to be stepping into
an Iraqi snake pit.

I feel for Jason.

You know, it's, uh...

It's hard to imagine an op
following you home that way.

No shortage of ways for this job
to hit you where you live, Clay.

Maybe it's better he gets some distance

after our last op.

Last op was a bad hand from the start.

What you getting at?

Uh, just that...

Team lives or dies by his calls.

Good or bad.

You know, uh,

someone foolish enough
to try to pin a Murphy's law op

on Jason, well...

might be the same type to
whisper in Command's ear about

me in Nigeria.

Look, if I ever come for you,

you'll know it's me.

JASON: Yeah, I'm on my way. Okay, look,

Mikey sounded really worried
on the phone. Can we go now?

Damn shame he has to miss tonight's game

for this nonsense.

- Oh, geez.
- It's Lakewood High.

He had a hat trick
against them last month.

It was one goal, okay?
It was one goal, all right?

Hat trick came against St. Viator's.

No.

It was Lakewood.
He called me after the game.

Well, you know what, I'll tell you what,

lucky for Mikey you're
not his coach, huh?

So you won't bench him

so you could flex for the school, right?

You were late for practice.

[GROANS]

Break the rules,
deal with the consequences.

You know this.

I was three minutes late.
Doug Lewin ran out of gas.

sh*t happens, Dad.

I coached you to a city championship.

[EXHALES]

The only thing you remember
is that I punished you

for putting yourself first.

Clearly, you don't remember
the lesson, either.

Always putting myself first.
Because, you know what?

Driving out here is exactly
what I wanted to do today, Dad.

Chance to make a point to me?

- What point?
- You've gone a lot farther

than that, all the way to Coronado.

You still think that I enlisted

because of you. You're unreal.

Just a coincidence

you signed up out of the blue,

one day before I was scheduled

to drive you around to your

recruiting visits that I arranged?

Dad, get upstairs.
Will you get upstairs now?

- What?
- There's somebody out...

- Get upstairs now.
- Hey!

It's Colin Krause.

Col-Colin Krause.

He lives across the street.

The hell is he doing out there?

- I didn't recognize him.
- He probably wanted to come

get a look at his old pal,
but you're jumping up and down

like it's Lee Harvey Oswald outside.

[SIGHS] I didn't recognize him. I...

Summer you were ,
you, Colin, and Alana

were thick as thieves.

Used to have to track
you down for supper.

How could you forget him?

That was a lifetime ago, Dad.

All right? It was a lifetime ago.

Well, she wouldn't have forgotten.

- Who?
- Alana.

She just cared so much about everyone.

Never mind how little she got back.

Gentlemen.

This is Shiv Konda and Joe Delockery,

- our partner force from SBS.
- Cheers for touching down

in Dorset to give us a lift.

Let's take you through
the op plan, all right?

You've studied the meet site, correct?

Every dusty, abandoned inch of it.

While you two are internal
meeting with Morad,

Bravo will be posted
outside, right here.

Close enough to the structure,

while maintaining a field of view.

In case Morad has invited
any surprise guests.

You consider setting up
closer to this road here?

Likeliest route in for any ambush.

Yeah, but not the only one.

There's a goat trail with
a bridge that crosses the river

just a hundred yards
east of the meet site.

That's why I thought it'd
be best for us to stay fluid.

Wait for ISR to direct us, and then if

anyone's incoming,
we can move to the best spot.

What Bravo means is we don't
want to commit to a position.

Rather allow my team

to adjust on the fly.

Understood.

Latest from Morad is he'll have

two associates with him.
I know the biggest thr*at

is a force ambushing outside, but

any chance you can spare a man
to even the numbers inside?

You need another body?

Sure. I can spare Spenser.

appreciate you meeting with us.

You have what I was promised?

Sir, we have a problem.

Two vehicles approaching
Bravo's position.

- Ten klicks out.
- Friends of Morad?

Definitely not. Up-armored Humvees

with a distinct customization

that's been identified with the Koruma.

Turkish contractors.

Ankara's quick to deploy them
with brutal force

against perceived enemies in the region.

Morad's arms trafficking
puts him on that list.

Marked man.

right on the bull's-eye.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Turks are rolling pretty heavy

Wing-fixed cameras

CAOC identified

approaching the AOR from Syria.

They're likely wondering why a U.S. C-

We've been directed to scram.

Bravo's gonna be fighting blind.

Bravo, be advised:
Havoc is now leaving the AOR.


We no longer have eyes on.

Good copy, Havoc.

Hell of a time to ditch a dance party.

You could follow it to the stable.

Delockery. Bring him over here.

What's he saying?

What'd he say?

"Clear the target.
Helo airstrike incoming".

We're about to get lit up.

If we exfil in our trucks,

a helo's gonna have no problem
picking us off.

The Agency put secondary
vehicles nearby us, right?

Yeah. Five klicks away.

We could patrol there on foot
using the tree line for cover.

Well, trees won't do much if
the helos have thermal imagery.

We stand here poking holes,

they're gonna start putting
holes in us, you understand?

Good plan's better
than a perfect one, Clay.

- Let's move.
- The river.

We swim out.

For the love of Michael Phelps,

when has swimming helped
with anything ever?

The cold water will hide our
heat signatures from the helos.

Right? Two klicks downstream,

we'll be clear for those other vehicles.

I'll take water over fire.

Let's go.

They got piranhas
in that river, I heard.

- [CHEERING]
- JASON: Dad, let's go.

There's Kid Nemecek.

Best I've coached.

Got a howitzer for an arm.

He keeps listening to me,
he'll be playing on Sundays.

[CHUCKLES]

- Wow.
- Okay, you know what, Dad?

We've been here long enough.
Shut it off.

We've been here long enough.
We have to go.

Stop.

I told you I'm not going.

Got the banquet tomorrow.

Team needs me.

Course the team needs you,

'cause that is your priority, right?

The team has always been your priority

and not your family.

You got Mom stressed out,

and you're more concerned
about your players, Dad.

You're one to talk
about putting family first.

My kids know that I love them,

all right? They know that I love them.

They're, you know, they're not competing

for my affection from a
whole football team, Dad.

Christ almighty, I am
not gonna take lectures

from the guy...

who left his wife and kids
behind so he could chase glory?

Chasing glory?
What are you talking about?

- The hell are you talking about?
- Chasing glory.

You never understood what it was about.

What have you been chasing, then?

It wasn't about chasing glory, Dad.

So what have you been chasing?

What is it that you
cannot get enough of?

That everyone who loves you

- has to pay for it?
- Paying for it?

I'm the one who's paying for it.

Me! I'm the one who is paying for it

day in and day out.
You never understood the cost.

- Never.
- The hell I don't!

I picked up that check
more times than you know.

Oh, fine.

Alana...

used to call us at night in tears

while you were spun up

or deployed somewhere. God knows where.

Your mom and I would
go down and stay there,

helping with the kids
for weeks at a time.

Alana and I did the best
that we could, all right?

Don't go changing the story now,

because you were never there for weeks.

You didn't even go to her funeral.

She asked us not to tell you.

That's why you don't know.

I'm sorry, tell me what?

What?

She wanted to let you believe

that things were better than they were.

Didn't want your mind at home

when you're in a w*r zone.

Things got really rough.

Really, really rough, okay?

These past few years.

All right? You don't understand
what this job does to you.

The toll it takes on your body,
on your brain.

- Everything. It is a complete...
- Blaming the job

frees you from feeling
responsible. Well...

After all Alana did for you,

she suffered alone

because the legendary Jason Hayes

always puts himself first.

What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to say?

That I was a shitty husband? Okay, fine.

I was a shitty husband. There.

You happy now? She deserved better.

I know that. She knew that.

She sacrificed everything
for this family,

and she's the one who d*ed.
She d*ed, Dad, not me.

That's the one thing, you know?
That is the one thing

that sticks in my head these days.

It's the only thing.

[SIGHS]

It's late.

Good night, son.

[EXHALES]

Ugh.

Sending Sonny to grab
that radio, the water exfil...

That's impressive headwork.
You came up big on an op

that I needed to go well.

Glad my ambition didn't get in the way.

[LAUGHS]

Yeah.

I wa... I was wrong earlier, man.

I shouldn't have accused you
of ratting me out.

For what it's worth, I didn't.

I know.

Man, I'm on Bravo because you jumped on

that Marsden grenade for me.

It's just...

between worrying
about Jason being doxxed,

and paranoid about what Command knows,

Sam going AWOL, I...

My head's been spinning more than usual.

- I hear that.
- Yeah.

It's felt easier to get a grip
on the b*ttlefield

than it has at home lately.

Something going on?

Yeah, it's complicated.

Outside-the-wire problems are simpler.

I could swear I just heard
Jason Hayes right there.

[CHUCKLES]

Good work, brother.

[PHONE BUZZING]

Lieutenant Soto.

The problem blew over,
so I'm heading home.

- Just like that?
- Just like that.

Yeah. There was no identifying
details about me online,

so this, uh, this glory chaser
is anonymous again.

Well, good. It's gotta be a load off.

Some of the things
I said last night, uh...

I've always been better with
other people's kids

than my own.

Maybe you deserved better from me.

You did the best you could.

Something I couldn't do for Alana.

Something you were saying
last night about

hard time keeping things
straight in your head.

I've been doing my reading about
this brain injury stuff.

Dad, I don't want
to talk about it, okay?

- I got a long ride home.
- All right.

All right? You enjoy
your banquet tonight.

Drive careful.

All right, well, cheers to you

finally getting a buyer for your bar.

And, uh, may, uh,
may they never curse it

with an artisanal olive or IPA.

[BOTH LAUGH]

I'm gonna miss that place. And Texas.

Yeah.

But the sacrifices we make for family.

Amen.

What in the hell? Davis!

I didn't expect to

see the brain trust out tonight.

What you doing here, Davis?

Um, Grant, this is Hannah and Sonny.

- Sonny and I work together.
- Hey.

Hey, how are you? Nice to meet you.

- Yeah.
- Lisa,

it's great to finally meet you

- in person.
- Meet you in person. Yes.

Why don't you join us?

- Great. Yeah. Sure.
- Yeah.

- Why not, man? Hey...
- Gonna need one more chair.

... it's a party over here.

You are a gentleman, Grant.

I've actually heard a lot
about you, man.

GRANT: Oh...

- Oh, yeah.
- DAVIS: Good things.

Very good things.

So, Hannah, you also still
getting used to these two

vanishing for days
to undisclosed locations?

Oh, yeah. It takes some adjustment.

Mm. But we, uh, you know,

we figured out what works, and...

- ... everybody's happy. Mm-hmm.
- Mm.

Except, uh, well, Brock.

Yeah, um,

Leanne, uh, well, she detonates
her biggest diaper

- right about now.
- Wait, I'm sorry,

- Brock is babysitting?
- Mm-hmm.

- Oh, wow, no.
- SONNY: Yes.

Yeah, he-he owed me one.

Are you still claiming
that he cheated you

in the hospital Olympics?

Wait, did she say "hospital Olympics"?

Well, you know, a whole team
of frogmen recuperating

have to find some way
to amuse themselves.

Wait, the whole team was
in the hospital? When was that?

Oh, nah. I mean...
Uh, it's not, honestly...

It's not really a big deal. We were...

Hey, Hannah, Sonny says that
you're liking Vah Beach.

It's good. Trying to find my footing.

DAVIS: Well, if you ever
need a break from Sonny's

- all-carcinogen diet...
- [SARCASTIC LAUGH]

I can recommend some
great restaurants for you.

I hope it's not that Thai place.

Uh, you love that Thai place.

Oh, anything's better than
that horrific sushi place.

This is a very refined palette

from a man who heats his Twinkies.

Ain't nothing wrong with
heating a Twinkie.

- Oh, man.
- Okay?

- Mm-hmm.
- It is true.

- [LAUGHS] Hey.
- Hey.

- Hi, baby. Mm.
- Hey.

How'd the op go?

- It was great.
- Yeah?

Yeah.

How you feeling?

- Amazing. Just unbelievable.
- Yeah?

- Good.
- weeks pregnant, it's...

[CLICKS TONGUE]

Ooh, do you want to be
the action hero that you are...

- Mm-hmm.
- ... and rub my feet?

- I had a different idea.
- [LAUGHS]

- I would love to rub your feet.
- Now, see, that's...

- I'm gonna go do it.
- That's a good response.

- All right, here it comes.
- Yay.

Here comes the big w*r fighter
coming down here

- to rub some feet.
- Yay!

- [GIGGLES]
- [CHUCKLES]

Hey, I've... I've been thinking

that, um, maybe an action hero
isn't what you're gonna need

in a few months.

What do you mean?

It's just, you know, the way you've...

the way you've been
carrying everything and...

I don't want that to go on. You know?

As soon as the baby comes,

I'm gonna...

I'm gonna ask for some family
leave time from Bravo.

Be here for real.

[CHUCKLES] You assessing our finances,

or are you planning
for world domination?

Both.

I transferred some settlement money

to the kids' college funds.

Have you given any thought to the rest?

Yeah, actually. Uh, you know what?

Pop dedicated his life
to helping people.

I think he'd be happy if that money went

to helping people like Sam.

So donate to a veteran
homelessness charity?

Ideally, but I spent the flight
back researching,

and I couldn't find one that provided

the whole range of services
that someone like Sam needs.

If I couldn't find it,
how are vets supposed to?

Well, maybe that's a gap we could fill.

We? What do you mean?

With my medical background
and your m*llitary experience,

is it crazy to think that
you and I could start something

with that money?

I have known Team guys that
started non-profits.

I mean, they found purpose
beyond carrying a r*fle.

I-It...

doesn't sound that crazy at all.

- Two beers.
- You got it.

- Oh, hey there.
- Hey.

So, Grant.

He seems real nice.

Thanks.

Hannah's great. I'm...

I'm happy for you.

I'm happy for you, too.

Well, good for us.

Uh, we should... we should get back.

See you over there.

Yeah.

[EXHALES]

I didn't think you'd still be here.

Well, when we texted last night,
I told you I'd stick around,

but my flight leaves in a couple hours.

You know, I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Is everything okay with...

whatever it was?

No, I am, uh... Yeah, I handled it.

[SIGHS]

What's wrong?

I've just got a lot
on my plate right now.

Okay. So tell me about it.

I mean, is it work? Family stuff?

It's on me. I...

I don't want you to have to pay for it.

[JASON SNIFFLES]

Pay for what?

Right.

[CRYING QUIETLY]

If there's so much on your plate,

maybe we shouldn't book
this room for a while.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[INHALES]

Yeah. [GROANS]

[SIGHS]

[GRUNTS]

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR SHUTS]

Ow. [GRUNTS]

- What?
- Some... something's wrong.

Baby, it's just... you're just
having a bad dream.

- Okay? Lay back down.
- No, no, no. I don't feel right.

- Is that...
- Oh, my God, something's...

- What?
- I don't know what's happening.

What do you mean?
What is it? What is it?

I-I think... I think
my water just broke.

- What?
- Yeah.

No.

This is not supposed
to be happening right now.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

I don't know, this isn't...

This is not supposed to be
happening, not yet.

I-I don't know what's happen...

- Aah.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

We're gonna get you
to the hospital, okay?

- Okay.
- Can you get up?

Hey, I got you, I got you, I got you.

Okay? Just walk slow, walk
slow, walk slow, walk slow.

- [GRUNTS] Ah.
- Come on. You all right?
