SEAL Team

Previously on SEAL Team...

Team Echo was on their second mission of the night.

They breached the structure. Seconds later,

- there was an explosion. - So you're telling me that

all six members of Echo Team are dead?

Aresh Kamal. Bomb maker.

Kamal's strictly mercenary, that means

somebody backed up the truck big time for the Echo job,

and we want to find out who that is.

He's got something.

You guys pulled a lot of intel out of that house.

Hoping one of the cell phones will give us a target.

- Something else I want to run by you. - Okay, what's that?

What if somebody

blackmailed Tariq?

His relationship with Azim

would've made him a prime target.

He told me to forget about the man with a red car.

Man with a red car?

A man Tariq did business with.

I'm Paul Mulwray. I write for Vice.

Who do you know around here drives a red Mercedes?

This part of the country, I know of exactly one.

We're gonna find the guy behind it,

and then we're gonna find the guy behind him

and the guy behind him because that's what we do.

Good boy.

S01E15 No Man's Land

Mandy. Mandy.

I need to talk to you. Okay?

So get up. We need to talk.

Come on. Let's go.

It's a little early for the after action review.

Well, you know what, the AAR's gonna be a little late

for what I have to say right now.

Okay? So look, I made some-some coffee.

- You want some coffee? - What's up? No.

No? Here, have some coffee. It's good for you.

- You're gonna like it. - Okay, so?

So... So.

It's been, what? It's been a week

since we rolled up on this bomb guy, Kamal. Right?

One week.

Based on the intel that we took from his place

and-and the contacts that we got off his phone,

we have hit 18 targets.

That's 18 targets in seven days.

And what have we come up with?

- What? - I don't think you need this.

What?

We always knew that there was a possibility

that Kamal's associates would dump their old phone numbers.

That's right, and now we know for sure that they did, okay?

But how does that bring us any closer to finding the guys

that hired Kamal to put a hit on our brothers from Echo Team?

- We find them another way. - What way?

- We'll find a way. - What way?

- There's still Salim Hakan. - Salim Hakan the cop?

Well, we know he was linked to the guy

who lead Echo to their deaths.

Just find me the guy that took out Steve Porter.

That's all I care about.

Once you put that package together,

we will be ready to go. Ready to go.

Man, I am tired. I'm so tired.

I got to get some sleep. Enjoy that coffee, will you?

I need rest.

You know, I-I was sleeping.

Asleep.

You here to give me the scoop you owe me

for the tip about the red Mercedes?

What more can you tell me about Salim Hakan?

Didn't I give you my

"information is currency" speech?

I promised I'd give you some soon as I had some to give.

Okay. How about why were you interested in the car?

All you have to do is say, "Off the record",

and we're in the cone of silence.

Definitely off the record.

The man in the red Mercedes

was leaning on Tariq Jamala before he died.

Says who? The boyfriend?

I heard he'd been talking.

Don't suppose I could get a few minutes with him?

I'm sure daddy can make another phone call.

Pretty sure I told you I don't call my father "daddy".

Anyway...

Congressman Mulwray would prefer

I stop reporting on the incident altogether.

We lost six Tier One operators.

Kind of thing might give people the idea we're not winning.

Can't have that.

You really think that Salim Hakan

forced Tariq to set up your guys?

I really think I need to know more about him.

Salim's business is doing favors for powerful people.

Us included.

Only way he's managed to survive.

When the asteroid hits,

it'll just be Salim and the cockroaches.

Hard to see killing Americans as a recipe for survival.

Any chance he got radicalized?

No. But there is a chance that he's decided

the radicals are the horse to back.

You have a relationship with him?

Salim only talks to reporters he can buy.

No matter who their fathers are.

He'll talk to you, though.

Salim loves beautiful women.

He'll know who you work for,

and he'll still talk to you.

I work for the State Department.

Cerberus...

Yo, J.

I'm up.

It's the bomb maker's place.

Yeah, Kamal.

Yeah, right. What am I looking at here?

It's just after this. Watch.

He's going to find something in the wall.

Right there.

He doesn't sit, so no explosives.

Yeah. Originally, he was imprinted on narcotics.

Right. Good boy.

Thanks to intel gleaned

from the video taken of the Aresh Kamal assault

by one of our team members...

Good boy!

Cerberus!

Get that dog a bone!

We were able to task

an Army daylight presence patrol

with re-visiting Kamal's workshop.

They checked the spot that drew Cerberus's interest

and they found these

hidden within the walls.

That's heroin, boys.

Yeah, no kidding. Afghan Brown.

How much you think that's worth?

Ten grand, give or take.

- That's it? - That's all it's worth here.

You get back stateside, you're looking at high six figures.

Huh. Time to shine, boys. Let's go.

Pretend I didn't hear that.

Come on, man.

So, ten grand, too little for a dealer,

- too much for a user. - That's his paycheck.

Saying that whoever hired Kamal

to build the bomb that killed Echo Team

paid him in heroin?

- Looks that way. - Huh.

You sure we could trace that heroin to the source?

It's already done.

The relative crudeness of the product

makes it easier to trace.

The opium in these bricks

came from a poppy farm 20 klicks west of Jalalabad.

Two months ago, an American task force

raided that same field

as part of an op designed to attack the resources

of the Taliban revenue in the area.

Whole lot of fields were burned.

Hm. It's not a bad motive,

drug dealer gets pissed all of his product goes up in smoke.

Eh, it gets better.

Echo Team did the burning.

Echo burns the fields,

somebody gets mad,

burns them.

How can you be sure, though?

I mean, even if this comes from the same farm,

this whole thing could be a coincidence.

Because it came from the bomb maker's house.

We all know that Afghanistan is flooded with heroin.

All right? So you can't tie this specifically

to Echo Team's actions, is all I'm saying there, cowboy.

I asked the same question.

It's a good question.

This is from Kamal's workshop eight days ago,

just before the assault. See that truck?

This is from the poppy farm several months ago.

Ah, it's the same truck.

The truck directly ties the bomb maker to the farm

and Echo Team.

We're a go for tonight.

Right on.

All right.

These farms are usually owned

by big drug lords, so you probably won't encounter

the owner within 100 miles of here.

Maybe 1,000.

Still, it's progress.

Hey, honk the horn. It's all my fault.

Why don't you get out there and see what's going on? Yeah.

Going on? It's a fender bender.

Ooh-wee.

That's someone I'd take home to my mother, right there.

In your dreams, brother. In your dreams.

Look at that.

She's gonna talk her way out of it.
