JASON: Infection was spreading, so the doctors did
what was necessary in order to save his life.
The Navy destroyer USS Crampton
was hit yesterday with three Russian Kornet rockets.
20 American sailors were killed in the attack.
The other warrants heard a buzz that
Command's under pressure to restructure.
Meaning at least one team is going to get decommissioned.
Our first op without Clay could be our last op.

is anonymous, but we traced it to Northern Syria.
It's the Wild West of extremist groups.
How's everything going with your noggin?
Seems like this new stem cell infusion thing seems to be, uh,
getting me the best results so far. [chuckles]
This decommissioning is more than a rumor.
Anything on Bravo?
They're part of the conversation.
Yeah, that was slow, huh?
Whole session fucking sucked!
Slow clearing doors,
sloppy clearing rooms.
Come on, guys, we're talking about basic shit.
It's hard to get up for sim rounds and rentemies
when Bravo might have run its last op.
Excuses are like assholes, okay, Sonny?
How the hell we supposed to stay front-sight focused
when Command has kept us in limbo, okay?
For the past two weeks over this decommissioning.
RAY: Last I heard,
it's between us and Foxtrot who gets broken down for parts.
SONNY: See? Look.
Right there.
Command is treating us like a damn finale of a reality show.
Just shitcan us or get off the pot.
Should just do this Thunderdomestyle.
Two teams enter, one team leaves.
JASON: Yeah. Years of dining out on our wins
and this is how they repay us.
You really think Bravo's at risk, Jace?
-Just 'cause we're down a man? -Think about it, Brock.
Doesn't look good when they cycle over our OIC
to Echo Team, does it?
[scoffs] Soto's time was up anyway, Jace.
Jesus Christ.
All right, so that doesn't mean anything.
And rumor has it Foxtrot's

-That's a mark against them. -[Sonny laughs]
Yeah, okay, it's not like Bravo has been drama-free.

Any word from Mandy?
I heard from her five days ago, Ray.
You know how it is,

What does that mean for Jason?
[grunts] No clue, actually.
You know, every unit, they...
they already got really solid team leaders.
CLAY: Yeah, well...
You imagine Jace slotting in as someone's second-in-command?
Yeah.
I don't know what's harder to digest, you know?
Someone giving Jason orders, or him accepting them.
They got two quarterbacks, and you got none.
It's likelier they force him to an ops chief's desk.
No, you saw what happened to him last time,
and that was his choice.
I shudder at the idea of what it's gonna do to him this time.
He must feel like he's fighting for his operating life, huh?

Working out the old gift

How you doing, Spenser?
Heard Quinn's been up here bothering you every session.
Oh, shit yeah.
Can't shake him, sir.
And you must be doing some work, too.
Your knuckles are barely scraping the ground.
SONNY: Oh, yeah, you know,
a few more sessions and I just might get opposable thumbs.

Hopefully that's before Bravo becomes extinct.
Decommissioning has got all of Command on edge.
Except for you, Spenser.
I heard about you putting in to be a Green Team instructor.
Yes, sir.
You know, this job, there aren't many sure things.
But in three months,

Thank you, sir.
At least one of Bravo will still have a job.

-Bravo should be the team. -Excuse me?
We are the ones who recovered the intel
from the Cramptonbombing, okay?
Bravo should have the target package.
-You know that. -You know that I have no say
in what team gets a target package.
Plus, there isn't one. There's a Syrian IP address
that purchased the weapons used for the attack.
You have built target packages out of less back in the day,

You'd be trying to turn a breadcrumb into a meal,
surrounded by a dozen enemy groups.
You don't want that kind of recklessness.

Okay, so, what is it?
What's the alternative for us? Huh? What?
I know that you think that catching an op for Bravo

Uh-huh.
I understand. Okay. Thank you.
RAY: Babe.
Look, I found a way to fit

Baby.
Who was that on the phone?
The property management company.
There's a problem.
Your employer flagged the application for review.
-Seriously? -Yeah.
The Navy's putting up a roadblock?
You have told me
Command gets touchy about operators' finances.
Yeah, if they think they're running guns
or trying to take kickbacks.
I swear there's less scrutiny
on taking lives than saving them.
Damn.
So, what do we do?
Someone at base we can talk with to straighten it out?
I thought all of Command's attention
was on keeping Bravo in purgatory. I...
I'll get into it.
Okay.
[line ringing]
[sighs]
Sir, if you have a moment?
I'd like to discuss the intel on the USS Cramptonattack.
Something new?
Last I heard, all we had was an anonymous Syrian IP
-that purchased the weapons. -The workup on that IP says
it's linked to an unknown but active network based in Syria,
which I believe is enough to send a team to do SA work
and develop more intel.
And, uh...
would it happen to be Bravo Team that you'd recommend deploying?
They were the team whose SSE delivered the intel.
You know, they're not your team anymore, Lieutenant.
You don't owe them anything.
What is owed is a response to 20 sailors' lives being taken.
And if we don't hit back, we encourage more attacks
by other groups or nations,
without fear of any repercussions.
Couple months ago, that white paper you wrote
argued against the "mowing the grass" type of quagmire
that this mission could turn into.
I trust you wouldn't let your loyalty to Bravo
cloud your professional judgment.
I'm merely advocating the best strategic move, sir.
Let's talk.
SONNY: Jace,
getting buzzed in mean we're getting split up or spun up?
Think they brought us in to drop the hammer?
I got no clue.
You know? And I saw Ray in here about an hour ago
heading to our team room with the brass, so...
SONNY: Are they consulting
the Jason whisperer on how to break the news
with the least amount of damage to the furnishing?
Mm. Could just...
Could just be briefing Ray on an op.
Exactly.
Could work out nice and clean
if they keep us together.
You know, all we need is a Bravo 6.
Foxtrot's low man on the pole there, he's, uh...
he's only been off Green Team for a month.
JASON: Right, exactly.
Just point the kid in the direction where to shoot
and he won't ask questions, right?
We can show him how Bravo rolls.
It'd be like molding a piece of... clay.
Can you please shut your mouth?
JASON: Okay, listen, boys.
It's all talk, right?
So let's get in there. Here we go.
All right. Come on.

SOCOM's number one priority is identifying
and bringing to justice the group responsible for

that purchased the Russian weapons used in the attack
is our actionable lead.
The address was here, outside Qamishli, Syria.
The buyer's identity is unknown,
but their digital activity suggests that they are
a part of a robust network.
Most likely ISIS, but it could be a dozen other groups.
The region's been a hotbed
of extremist activity throughout the Syrian civil war.
OMAR: Strange that any of those groups
would hit a target so far away.

DAVIS: There are some missions
that can't be executed by anyone else.
But the War on Terror made clear that we need to be judicious
when selecting those operations.
As I've demonstrated, by prioritizing operator safety,
the DoD can optimize
the Special Operations Forces' ability
to conduct missions
while supporting the integrated deterrence strategy.
Well done, Lieutenant Davis.
Ma'am.
Who has questions?
I do, ma'am.
Uh, you recommend prioritizing the safety of special operators
by adjusting deployment criteria.
Correct.
How will doing so impact our partner forces
in the integrated deterrence model?
How would they feel about American operator safety
being prioritized over joint objectives?
That is beyond the scope of my presentation.
Your argument's validity hinges on the answer to that question.
I'm not here to justify myself to you, Major.
All the well-meaning rhetoric in the world doesn't matter
if you can't follow through on your own line of thought.
STEVENS: Let's move on to our next topic.
Omar and I asked the YPG that run the prison
if there was any inmate chatter about the Cramptonbombing.
-Mm-hmm. -They hadn't heard anything,
but they'll keep their ears open
after we saved their asses today.
It's an intel win chalked up to Omar's call
to connect us with the YPJ.
Yeah, we'll see what comes of it.

Brought the hero back to earth, huh?
Hero?
Yezda is a lucky fool.
Thinks she's bulletproof and the world is her playground.
I had one like that.
Pulled the same move on his first op.
Problem child.
[chuckles] Yeah.
Child.
Definitely was at first, but, uh...
he became one of my best.
[man speaking Arabic over radio]
[laughter]
She doesn't understand.
The number is the first thing in my mind when I wake up.
How many I've lost since I became a commander.
67 of them in four years.
I'm sure that's taken a toll on you.
No, we don't have the machinery of a nation behind us.
We're fighting for the Kurdish people's survival.
But we are not the ones who will survive.
I try to give them as many days as possible.
Each morning I wake up, I feel lucky
and like a criminal.
Like you're getting away with something.

[woman yelling in Arabic]
Are y'all, uh, swapping sweet good nights
with the fellas from the boys' camp?
It's an ISIS pig.
They taunt us on the radio.
Sometimes they even know our names
and say they are coming for us.
Oh.
Well, do these, uh,
these pigs ever follow up on their squeals?
Death is better than what they will try to do to us.
Torture.
Rape.
Beheading.
That is why we never take this jewelry off.
We will take fate into our own hands
before falling into theirs.
Well, that's pretty cool, man.
Is there a little bedazzling to it?
Look, uh...
I'm just saying, if, uh...
if you want to strike fear into these dirtbags...
...I can coach you up.

Do you have ideas of what we should say to them?
Let me use this milk crate.
Okay, ma'am, I got 14 different names for a dog's dick.
-[laughing] -Okay?
And it's gonna sound a hell of a lot worse
in Arabic, okay?
Now, the best thing a shit-talker has going for them
is the goods to back it up.
And you got the goods.
The goods?
Yeah, the way you put that guy down today,
ISIS is gonna pray that they never cross your path.
Now, you want to, uh...
you want to insult their manhood.
So ask him, uh, say, uh,
"I don't see any cold water around.
What's with all the shrinkage?"

What's up, Spenser?
Uh, sir, if I could have a minute.
CLAY: I don't want to teach Green Team in three months.
I want to do it now.
The new instructors typically start with the new class.
Well, I guess I'm asking to be an exception, sir.
Is there a reason you're so eager to get into it?
Well, I'd like to be of use, sir.
Why not take this time for yourself, keep healing?
New class will start sooner than you think.

Okay? You can ask my physical therapist.
It's not just your leg that needs time to heal.
You got to make time for yourself.

especially Jason.
But, uh, I'll keep working on him.
You're a peacemaker.
Wasn't always.
Yeah.
Foxtrot could've used one of those.
You know, every team,
every operator has their baggage.
You don't have to carry it with you.
[exhales]: Yeah. Be nice if it were that easy.
Team's different than I thought it'd be.
Is that your assessment 30 hours in, huh?
Oh, no, I just mean, uh, seeing how everybody steps up,
you know, splits the work.
Gives their input.
That's what they get paid for.
Yeah.
But I'd always heard Bravo was the domain of one man only.
The legendary Jason Hayes.
And?
Surprised to see that Captain America

Hmm. Yeah, well,

They know whose team it is, right?
Thanks. We're, uh, we're RTB.
How far a trip is it?
Sorry.
Welcome you into our home, can't even know where yours is.
Are all American streets one-way?
Uh, well,
we were kind of hoping we could pave a two-way deal.
I mean, you've got information about this region
that could really shine a bright light for us.
Yeah, you help us, we help you.
I suppose that could work.
JASON: Mm-hmm.
I'll offer this to start.
Those enemy we locked up today were a drop in the ocean.
There's plenty of ISIS around.
Along with regime forces,
Turkish FSA, Chechens, al-Sham Brigade.
Could be from any of those neighbors I just mentioned.
They all taking shots at you?
Now, it seems, they also take shots at you.
Our enemies have become your enemies.
New guy got us into this, right?
