The first 200 lines.
Previously on SEAL Team...
Stella. I'm Clay.
Mm-hmm. Stella?
And this is what, like, our third date?
This is a date?
Until you graduate Green Team,
you're a member of Chalk 2,
Damn right. Alpha Platoon, SEAL Team 3.
Look, man, you can't deny the kid's talent.
Or his ego. He keeps pressing the red
like that, you know what he's gonna do?
He's gonna hit a wall. He's gonna slow his whole team down.
Are you sure you're not threatened
Threatened? 'cause he's faster than you?
Triple my rucksack, and I'll still
beat his ass up that hill, Ray.
"Adele Dazeem"?
Yep. Apparently that's what he said.
Travolta?
That's not even close.
Yeah, well, what do you want me to tell you?
Maybe the Grecian Formula leached into his brain.
Anyway, Colby,
one of the comms guys from Bagram,
says it's all anyone's talking about online.
Oscars was when? Like, last Monday?
Sunday, bro.
Sunday.
Even worse.
Pulp Fiction gets some chick's name wrong.
Five days later, the whole world's
still talking about it?
Meanwhile, we're out here getting our asses shot off.
Might as well be a fart in the wind.
You know, too much sun exposure
can lead to premature aging.
How about sleeping in a hooch
that got mortared 14 times last month?
You're in my light, bro.
Dude, out of my light.
Aren't you supposed to relieve us on watch?
No. Garner's up.
Where is he right now?
Where is he ever?
Garner, you're on watch.
Got it.
Hey.
Yep.
Hey, it could be worse.
What's that?
Guys up for the NFL draft,
all the time just waiting for their name to be called,
and their face is on the TV camera.
You really think I'm sitting here sweating the draft,
wondering about which team I'm gonna end up on?
You're saying you're not?
Matter of fact, I'm just thinking about
finding a place to live.
You got a team you're hoping drafts you?
I haven't given it much thought.
Whatever teams we go to,
we're Tier One operators now, baby.
How about you?
How about me what?
You got a team you're hoping for,
or you figure it's a done deal--
you end up with Hayes and his guys
'cause you already rolled with them the once?
No, I haven't really thought about it.
Ha. Looks like our boy made it.
As I'm sure most of you remember,
Charlie Team had first pick
Boo. Garbage. in last year's Green Team draft.
This year, The rich get richer.
I'm sorry, who? the "one" pick belongs to Bravo Team.
Bravo Team. Rich just got richer.
You heard that? That's us, right?
I heard that.
Well, unless, of course, you guys have
already made your choice,
Adam will run down the new Green Team graduates.
All right, we graduated a class
of real pipe-hitters this time.
One of 'em even broke a couple
Oh! of Jason's obstacle course records.
Stop. I heard the track was a lot faster this year, okay?
We don't need to hear that right now.
Oh, I don't think... Didn't break mine.
I think not. I think I did.
Okay, okay, we'll start with the cream.
Three-way tie at the top of the class-- Sarkisian,
Spenser, McAdams.
Do we take the fact that you guys aren't saying
you want Clay as an indication you don't want Clay?
Opinions differ.
Not saying we don't want him,
just saying I'm doing my due diligence, that's all.
Yeah, I did. You had him with you for an op.
I mean, nothing in this file is gonna tell us as much
as getting a dude downrange, see him up close.
You have any issues with him in Liberia?
You read the AAR. If we had an issue,
we would have checked those boxes.
We don't. I am just here to do my homework.
Thank you very much.
All right, Clay Spenser, second-generation frogman.
Am I ever gonna understand your problem with this kid?
Did you not just hear me say
that I do not have a problem with this kid?
Uh, yeah, "I just need to do a little more homework"?
I do. Yeah, I heard.
You're seriously gonna let Clay go to another squadron,
or, worse yet, another team within our squadron?
I know Beau wants him. You kidding me? You know Beau wants him.
What, you don't have a problem with this Spenser kid?
Why, 'cause he's a little cocky?
I've seen cockier. A little cocky?
Yeah, okay.
You know, he's the poster boy for, you know what,
I'm born on third, and he thinks he's hit a triple, all right?
You know, it's funny, having Ash Spenser for a daddy
doesn't seem like a triple to me.
What are you talking about?
He's Special Ops royalty.
I stand corrected.
It doesn't matter if you didn't get any sleep last night.
Do you realize I have a social life?
Yeah. All right?
Scott Powell, General Counsel
to the Secretary of Defense.
Never a good sign when there's a lawyer in the room.
The man, the myth. Lucas Garner.
The traitor.
In March of 2014,
Army Private Lucas Garner was captured
by the Taliban in Korengal Valley
in Northeastern Afghanistan.
Yeah, he abandoned his post, Sorry, "captured." Didn't he surrender?
and then went looking for someone to take him prisoner.
There's still some uncertainty surrounding Private Garner,
how he came to his current circumstance.
I'm sure we'll be able to clear
a lot of this up when we debrief him
after you bring him home.
Stop me if you've heard this one before.
Sorry, is there a problem?
No, it's no problem.
It's just that, uh, all of us have been on missions
trying to find this guy,
and we've come up empty-handed.
Well, good news then.
This time, you won't have to try to find him.
We negotiated You made a deal?
a prisoner exchange.
Bravo Team will be transporting three Taliban
detainees that the DoD has agreed to give back.
Gonna trade 'em for Garner,
then safely transport Garner back here.
You're telling me we're releasing three bad guys
in exchange for that ass-hat?
All right, this prisoner exchange,
that's gonna happen where,
on the edge of the Tribals?
Uh, in the Tribals, actually.
In the Tribals?
50 miles north of Peshawar.
That's not just the Tribals, that's the Pakistani Tribals.
Well, Pakistani Intelligence, they brokered the deal.
I'm sorry, but are we supposed to trust
the Pakistani ISI now?
Right. Their spooks are even shadier than ours.
Brass decided that ISI No offense.
were our best go-between with the Taliban.
ISI is the Taliban.
Not by much. I think that's overstating.
You remember last year, a bunch of Rangers
got torn up going after a Taliban financier?
There's some evidence ISI walked them
into an ambush.
Oh, delightful.
Okay, look, what about the Pakistani army?
ISI wants us to keep them out of the loop.
Says the army has too many Taliban sleepers.
So the Pakistani Intelligence
is accusing the Pakistani army of having
too many Taliban sleepers?
Uh, to be fair, the Taliban and the ISI
aren't exactly sleeping.
Y'all cut one hell of a deal.
All right, look,
apparently the brass want this prisoner swap
to happen bad enough that they agreed
to do whatever they had to.
Now, I know the setup sucks--
puts you undermanned in one of the most
dangerous spots on Earth,
forces us to trust the Pakistani Intelligence
is not gonna set you up.
But that's out of our hands right now.
The bottom line is...
