[Bridger] This is Special Agent Robert Bridger, NCIS.
I'm here at Incirlik Air Force Base
with Special Agent Daniel Stubbs
to interview Lieutenant Commander James Reece,
SEAL Team 7, regarding mission number 644: Odin's Sword.
Commander, can you outline the details of your mission?
[Reece] We were tasked with supporting SDF
in apprehending Dr. Jahan Kahani and any intel
related to his chemical weapons program.
- Tip came in two weeks ago. - Tip from whom?
Tabari Moussa. Arms dealer outside of Aleppo.
Our top SDF source.
You red-teamed this operation with...
Commander William Cox.
Any flags?
No. No. Moussa's intel has been pretty solid.
Gave us two clear shots at Kahani in the last two years.
I'm sorry, did QRF find any sign of Kahani at the compound?
Negative.
According to audio logs, you went dark on comms
roughly four mikes in.
Why?
We encountered countermeasures, IEDs, near the access points.
Comms down is S.O.P.
Was there any sign that he had even been to the compound?
[Stubbs] Can you point to the area with the IEDs?
[Bridger] QRF found a mobile lab.
[Stubbs] Let's stick with the op.
Where were the IEDs located?
[Reece] Right here.
If it was just IEDs,
it'd be nothing out of the ordinary,
but there were armed loyalists waiting to ambush us.
They knew we were coming.
Commander, at what point of the operation
did you notice that Special Warfare Operator 2nd Class
Donny Mitchell was unwell?
Excuse me, what?
SO2 Mitchell, the youngest member of your troop,
experienced some sort of "episode" during the operation,
shortly before he set off the explosion.
Gentlemen,
you need to understand something.
I have 12 men flying home in caskets right now,
and you want to ask me questions about Donny Mitchell?
It was the SDF trooper who panicked, not Donny.
Our mission logs say it was Donny Mitchell.
No, it wasn't, okay? I was there.
- It wasn't Donny. - Easy, Commander.
We're just telling you what we know.

that triggered the explosion.
Please, take a moment, review the logs.

all things considered.
[Cox] Course he is, Doc. Look at him.

Any blurry vision, headaches, memory loss?
Memory loss?
With brain trauma, physical injuries can heal quickly,
neural pathways may take more time.
Add in the stress of grief and loss...
[Cox] You experiencing symptoms, Reece?
No, sir. No.
There are a few more tests we can run.
I'd really like to get those done at Balboa, if I can.
- I'd prefer to give you an MRI here. - Yeah.

See, I was told operations were on hold
while we chase the intelligence failure.
We found your man Moussa. He had a hole in his head
and Quds Force money in his pocket.
Ah.
I've been focusing my research on Kahani's
next move. I'd like to be there when...
when we find him.
When Kahani's dead, you'll be the first to know.
[Lauren] Do you have any 20s on you?
James?
Do you have any cash for the babysitter?
I guess we could...
- We could just Venmo her. - That funeral was empty.
Mallory's wife didn't even show up. I mean...
Boozer deserved more than that.
Did you call the clinic
to schedule the MRI?
James?
I feel better.

We're gonna get through this, okay?

I'm all right. I'm okay.
I'm okay.

- What? What? - You see that gray car right there?
Right there. Just parked.
It was at the funeral. It followed us here.

Go inside. Get Lucy.

[panting] I'm sorry, Commander.
I just needed to meet you away from the teams.
Can I get you a tea

You got anything stronger? [chuckles softly]
- I think we-we have a bottle open. - It's okay.
- This'll be quick. - [Katie] Yeah. You know what?
I'm okay. Um, thank you.
And I-I'm sorry about earlier.

Well, that was something. [chuckles softly]
I've spent the last 18 months between bases and outposts,
but I never had a gun in my face.
Still, I'm-I'm glad you reached out to me.
So, for the past two years,
your troop has alternated between six months of deployment
and six months of training.
That's 67% less downtime than a normal...
I didn't reach out to you to talk OPTEMPO ratios.
I asked you who I was with when we met in Incirlik.
No, that's not what you asked me, though, is it?
I mean, not exactly.
I looked into your friend's death.
PO1 Vickers. "Boozer," right?
Tracked down a copy of the police report.
This is his death certificate.
Look at the date.
He was already dead here in Coronado the day
I met you in Incirlik.
I brought up your troops' deployment pattern
because if overwork and exhaustion played a part
in your men's death, I don't think that's your fault.
But there are people who need to be held responsible
- for that. - Okay, it's time for you to go.
Listen, I know you think I'm the enemy,
but all I care about is the truth.
And if a broken system
put you and your men into shitty situations...
Thank you for your time, Ms. Buranek.
I appreciate you stopping by.
All right. Well...
I'm in town for the next week,
so if you change your mind...
Thanks.

[Reece] We're gonna find Kahani.
When we do, we're gonna scalp him.

- [Park] You know what an engram is? - [Reece] No, I don't.
[Park] It's kind of the Holy Grail of brain research.
A physical pathway for the encoding of memories.
This is a visualization
of healthy recall. Each memory a distinct map.
But when our memory pathways get disrupted,
it can lead to things like conflation.
Old memories overlap with new ones.
So a memory from a year ago
feels like it happened yesterday.
Your brain can't tell the difference.
- That can be caused by a concussion? - It could.
With your permission, we'll take a closer look.
The scan gives us a detailed map of your brain.
Whole thing takes less than an hour.
We'll come get you once it's over.
Almost ready to begin, James.
Copy.

You're doing great, James.
Just relax. The next and longest phase of the scan
