Eye in the Sky

Sorry, Rocco.

Come, come.

Good dog.

Somali Al-Shabab militants

have posted this picture of an unnamed man

they say they have executed in Nairobi.

They claim he was a spy

working for British and Kenyan intelligence services,

attempting to disrupt the recruiting and trafficking

of young Western Muslims.

Al-Shabab extremism within Kenya

escalated with the Westgate shopping mall attack

in Nairobi two years ago,

in which 67 people died and 175 were injured.

In April, the group massacred 147 students and staff

at Garissa University College.

Al-Shabab want to impose their strict version

of Sharia law across the Horn of Africa.

They bitterly resent the role of Britain and the Kenyan military

in propping up the UN-backed Somali government.

Morning, Colonel. Morning, Ted.

Good morning.

Good morning, ma'am. Morning, Colonel.

Version three on Operation Egret is ready.

Ahmed's house data is on slide three.

Thank you.

Only two Hellfires? Where are my GBU-12s?

Well, ma'am, given the mission brief, we thought we should

decrease the gross weight and increase the loiter time.

So I've only got the Hellfires?

Yes, ma'am.

Sadd, next time you change the load out,

you check with me first, please?

Yes, ma'am. Thank you.

How was your flight?

General, good morning.

You got my email?

Yes, sir. Very upsetting.

His family will need our support.

Leave it with me.

Everything in place? Yes, sir.

I'll be at Cobra in an hour.

That should be fine.

Good luck today, Katherine.

Thank you.

Is this Briefing Room 7?

Yeah. You're fine. We haven't started yet.

Lieutenant Watts.

Airman Gershon.

Pleasure.

Stand by.

Room, attention.

Carry on.

All right, I'm going to introduce you guys to Colonel Powell in London.

Push us through please, Major. Yes, sir.

Good morning, Colonel. Are we coming through clear?

Loud and clear, Colonel, thank you.

Good to see you again.

And you, ma'am. I have your crew ready.

Introduce yourselves, please.

Morning, ma'am. Lieutenant Steve Watts, Aircraft Commander, Pilot.

Airman First Class Carrie Gershon, Sensor Operator.

Senior Airman Matt Levery, Mission Intel Coordinator.

Thank you.

Today, you will be flying a joint operation over Nairobi, Kenya,

codename Operation Egret.

Horn of Africa, Somalia, Kenya, Nairobi.

We have intelligence of a meeting of key members of Al-Shabab

in the suburb of Parklands in this house, here.

It belongs to a man named Shahid Ahmed.

He's an Al-Shabab facilitator.

Due to visit this house is this man,

Abdullah Al-Hady.

He's a Somali, and his wife, Ayesha Al-Hady,

formerly Susan Helen Danford, British national.

Troubled childhood, converted at 15.

She was radicalized in a West London mosque

where she met and married Al-Hady.

Intelligence has them connected

to the most recent suicide bombing in Kenya.

They are numbers four and five on our East Africa Most Wanted list.

We've been tracking them for six years.

Their cell executed one of our Kenyan agents yesterday.

Now we have information that they will be in Nairobi today,

using that Parklands house as a transit point for two new recruits.

Muhammad Abdisalaam, American.

The CIA have him connected to extremists in Minnesota.

And Rasheed Hamud. He's British.

Once all suspects are in the house,

Kenyan special forces will launch a cordon and search.

This is an operation to capture, not kill.

Your job is to be their eye in the sky.

Right, thank you, ma'am. Kill it.

Yes, sir. Go brief.

So, sir, how long have you been here?

About six months now. You?

Just got here.

Oh, wow. How are you liking Vegas?

It can get a little wild.

That it can.

Where are you from originally?

I'm from Ohio. Ohio?

Where are you... Where are you from?

Idaho. When did you qualify?

A month ago.

Wow. It's only been about two years for me.

Why'd you join?

I'd racked up a lot of college debt.

Air Force was a guaranteed four years of work.

Hey, guys. Hi.

Hey. Hey.

You seen any giraffes?

Matter of fact, yeah.

Oh, wow. Yeah, a whole bunch of them

about 30 miles east of the city.

The aircraft is established in the orbit

at Flight Level 200, running covert.

Aircraft and GCS are in the green with no write-ups.

Okay. Great.

All cameras checked good.

Here's the target.

Ground forces are a few blocks away in an old factory.

Over here.

Okay. Thanks.

Weapons all spun up good.

Ten hours' time on station remaining.

You still have two Hellfire missiles. Secure radio checked good.

Great. Thank you, guys.

All right. Do good. Don't suck.

Hey, Matt? You strapped in?

I'm here. Here it comes.

Showman 5-0, North 2-0. Good morning, Moses. How are you?

North 2-0, Showman 5-0. Good morning, Colonel. Very good, thank you.

Confirm Seahawk is in the Blue Zone,

but Condor is still in flight, right?

Seahawk is in the Blue Zone.

We expect Condor to land in an hour.

Thank you. Are your men in place?

Yes, ma'am.

Darling, it's your dad here.

I'm looking at a whole shelf of these Annabell dolls.

You didn't tell me that there were different types.

I have no idea what to buy her.

Can you get back to me ASAP?

Otherwise...

Um...

I'm holding a "Time to Sleep" doll.

It says here, "You will hear her babbling

"when it is beddy-byes."

Call me as soon as you can.

(PEOPLE SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)

General Benson here for Cobra.

General Benson.

Jack Cleary. I'm coordinating today.

This way, sir. Thank you.

Hold on a minute. "Baby Moves"? What have I got?

Well, does it matter? I mean...

General, they're asking for you, sir.

Yes. Uh... All right, darling, I'll try.

Yup. Bye-bye.

I bought a "Time to Sleep" doll

when I should have bought a "Baby Moves."

Apparently, there's an important difference.

I'll see what I can do, sir.

Attorney General, good morning. Good morning, Frank.

Minister. General.

Ma'am.

Congratulations on your new appointment.

Thank you.

I'm gonna talk you through the capture of Susan Danford,

AKA Ayesha Al-Hady.

How are you? I'm good, and you?

Welcome to Nairobi.

The Condor has landed.

Copy that. Proceed to the Blue Zone.

Hey. Hey.

Did you go to the game? I was busy.

You might still make it.

What have we got here?

Tracking some extremists in Nairobi.

One guy's from my hometown.

You're kidding. Serious?

Yup. Uh-huh. Is that him?

Muhammad Abdisalaam, Somali.

A lot of them there.

Well, let's hope he's not coming back.

Yeah. Have a good shift. Thanks.

Thank you. Mmm-hmm.

What's going on?

We've got Condor in the Blue Zone.

Who the fuck is Condor?
