SEAL Team

Previously on SEAL Team...

I was always the one leaving.

It sucks staying behind.

- I know you miss it. - I'll miss you.

Forgot I promised Gordon I'd meet him for drinks.

- Gordon, huh? - I need to go, and you need

to talk about your paranoid fantasies tomorrow.

So you're telling me you don't need any surgery?

Nope. Doc fixed me up

with some heavy duty anti-inflammatories.

Told me not to bench with a straight bar.

Stop being worried.

I'm good.

That's Steve Porter's drill.

- He got something on it during an op. - Mm-hmm.

And he asked me if I'd have our labs test it.

Why did he, uh, give it to you guys

and not the military lab?

I never really thought about it.

You're asking permission to go after

Salim Hakan, the Afghan police commander.

I know Salim's the new poster boy

for our mission here,

but unfortunately, he's also connected

to the ambush and murder of six American operators.

- General Hakan. - You want to go after Salim Hakan,

you can't be even a little bit wrong.

The old men will bury you.

Permaz Hakan. How'd it go in there with his wife?

So, she doesn't know anything about him

targeting Echo Team, in particular,

but she does claim to know that he's targeted

Americans in the past.

Your pride has made you careless.

Nobody would be surprised if a pretty, American girl

was found dead in this part of town.

S01E18 Credible Threat

Any chance this isn't what I think it is?

Depends. What do you think it is?

I think it's a target package for General Salim Hakan,

Police Commander of Nangarhar Province,

hero of Afghanistan,

Queen of the Andals and the First Men.

Tell the truth. You made that last part up.

In that case, no.

There's no chance it's not what you think it is.

- Mandy. - 300 pages,

four flowcharts and two maps

demonstrating Salim Hakan's ownership of the poppy farm

and his connection to the money that paid

for the hit on Echo Team.

There's also a digital recording of him threatening the life

of a duly-sworn American intelligence officer.

You.

This is the target package.

Command is free to turn it down.

Just better hope they never have to defend that

to an oversight committee.

They're not gonna be too happy.

Be forced to admit the guy they just publicly bet on

as the way forward here turns out to be killing Americans.

Instead of just selling us out

like the guys they usually bet on?

It's gonna make a whole lot of people look a whole lot of bad.

Figure they ought to be used to that by now.

You're sure of all of this?

Completely.

Okay. I'll make the call.

Stand by.

And, Mandy.

Yeah, I know. Great work.

You're a pain in my ass.

- Morning, sunshine. - What do you mean, "Morning, sunshine"?

It's 5:00 in the afternoon.

Ah, you know what I mean. Glad you could make it today.

You're looking a little light on your feet.

Light on my feet. I'm not light on my feet, Ray.

Morning, everybody.

- See? She gets it. - Good morning.

First things first, as of a few hours ago,

the target package on Salim Hakan

is officially in the pipeline.

- Yeah. - Well done, well done.

Hey, what did, uh, Belding say?

- I'm sure you can imagine. - Oh, I'm imagining, all right.

I'm imagining the whole thing right now.

Anyway, he passed it up the chain.

But keep in mind,

it took over 200 days to get approval for the Bin Laden op.

Salim Hakan's been ingratiating himself

with American brass for years now,

so we may be waiting on a green light for a while.

How the hell is it I ended up in such a bureaucracy?

So, nothing to do but wait, wait, wait.

Yeah, something tells me

we'll find a way to keep busy.

Delegation of congressmen and DoD officials

arriving in J-Bad tonight.

Part of a publicity tour

highlighting infrastructure improvements

and growing stabilization in the region.

Okay. Wait for it. Don't tell me.

- Yeah. - Hey, Blackburn, please.

- Give me a buzzkill. - We will be doing security.

Ah, come on, man.

Keep them from getting blown all to hell

in the middle of this stabilizing region.

Yeah, that would be embarrassing.

Well, the delegation is scheduled

to visit Forogh Curative Hospital,

Downtown Jalalabad.

What time do they touch down?

I'm gonna meet them at the airfield,

bring them back here to meet you all,

- and then show them to their quarters. - Any chance this group

is better than the last group we had to babysit?

You really think politicians get successful

by listening to people?

- No. - Nope.

Oh, this guy.

What, you know him?

I know of him.

Anybody know where I can get a gun?

Was that bad?

Commander Blackburn.

General Cook.

- Ms. Ellis. - Nice to see you again, sir.

And you must be...

Master Chief Hayes, sir.

I was gonna say the stubborn son of a bitch

who almost got himself stranded in that house in Yemen.

Right, something like that, sir.

- That was a tough op. - Yeah.

Good to know we're in such capable hands.

- Yes. - Gentlemen.

Congressman David Alper.

Secretary Benjamin Reed.

Master Chief Hayes, sir. How you doing?

Welcome.

This here is, uh,

Bravo Team. We're here to keep you safe.

Hope you make that easier than it sounds.

Driving around in an armored convoy in J-Bad

isn't exactly inconspicuous, sir.

Ah, it's like wearing Mets gear

to a Phillies game.

Crimson to the Yale Bowl.

Right.

Something like that.

Okay. Um, so, we'll keep it real simple.

You're not in Washington anymore.

You're in a war zone.

Follow our instructions.

If you don't, you're gonna get killed.

All right, well,

gentlemen, if you'll follow me,

I'll show you to your accommodations.

Good. Thank you.

After you.

What time do we leave in the morning?

We got to be at the hospital by 0900,

so I figure we take off around 0730.

- Okay. - First time in a while

you guys aren't gonna be working reverse schedule.

Yeah, you know what?

You guys want to make the most of this, uh, night off?

I can get us some adult beverages.

Bring 'em back here after I get our guests tucked in.

That is, unless you'd rather just have a rest.

Nah, we're good.

- I'm out. - Why are you out?

- You're always out. - Hooch it up.

- What do you mean you're out? - Let's get the hooch.

- Oh, shake it. Shake it, shake it, man. - All right, all right.

All right, let's go.

- Here we go. - Sonny's toilet hooch.

Now, Davis, if I make this right here,

you're gonna settle my stripper tab.

Oh, oh.

All right, no, no, hold on, hold on. Okay.

Okay.

- You miss this... - Yes.

And you have to ride with the suits tomorrow.

Don't do it, Sonny.

That's a terrible bet for you. Don't do it. Bad one.

I got this under control.

No look. With a no look. Ready?

Come on!

Sonny, my love,

you just enjoy that ride with Congressman Chicken Hawk

- all day tomorrow. - Congressman Chicken Hawk?

I'll show him where to tie his little, yellow ribbon.

Boss, doesn't it strike you as odd that a guy

who spends so much time and energy

hating our elected officials

doesn't take the time to vote for anyone else?

Wait, time-out, time-out.

You don't, you don't vote?

No, no, he doesn't believe in that

political rhetoric, right?
