SEAL Team

Previously on SEAL Team...

That's Steve Porter's drill.

He got something on it during an op.

- Mm-hmm. - And he asked me if I would take it in

to have our labs test it.

What did the lab have to say about it?

Just had dirt on it.

But if you really want to know what's on this thing,

I got to send that out to our lab in Germany.

Can you keep that quiet?

The real story

is rare-earth metals.

Stuff's in cell phones, laptops.

And apparently this country is sitting

on about a trillion dollars' worth just underneath the dirt,

just waiting for somebody to drill.

So last night we hear that someone's planning to hit

our congressional delegation,

and today, Abu Ali,

one of the world's best assassins, turns up in town.

You think that's a coincidence?

I sure as hell hope so.

Gun at two o'clock.

- He's on the move. - Bravo 2,

frag him.

We got a phone.

A text came in after you picked it off him.

Whoever hired that sniper

thinks he's still alive.

Come on.

TOC, this is Bravo 1.

Negative on the target. We were too late.

Did not find our assassin.

Hey, where is Abu Ali?

Huh? Abu Ali?

I'm confused.

So we're faking raids to make it look

like we're searching for a sniper

- that's already dead? - Yes, Abu Ali.

Yeah, and grabbing our interpreter

accomplishes that how?

Well, we want to make it look like we're trying

to smoke him out, Sonny. He doesn't mind.

- Do you mind? - If I want to spend my life

pretending to be a terrorist,

- I would move to Hollywood. - Hey, listen.

Quit your whining, or I'm gonna put that bag

back on your head.

TOC, this is Bravo 1.

We're heading back, unless you want us

to do some more fake hits.

What's that, our fourth one tonight?

Ninth once you add in Alpha Team's.

I think we're good.

Yeah, I agree.

I mean, I think anyone that's paying attention's

got to believe we're looking for somebody.

Copy that, 1.

Come on home.

You got to be kidding me, huh?

There's no way I'm drinking that, okay?

If we're gonna call it a night, I'm gonna need something

a lot stronger after four hours of SDR.

- Amen. - Well, I got vodka.

You got vodka?

No, I do not have vodka.

Come on, Davis. Don't play me like that.

The raids are working.

- Fake raids aren't raids. - Fake raids.

Okay, fine. The fake raids...

Well, speaking of fake raids,

can we start using fake SEALs?

Where are we gonna find some fake SEALs?

Any bar in Virginia Beach.

As I was saying,

the fake raids seem to be working.

According to the chatter,

so far everyone believes the sniper who shot Salim Hakan

is still alive and in the wind.

That ain't gonna hold forever.

Doesn't have to hold for long.

Just until we find the client who hired him.

Guy on the other end of this phone.

What exactly is your plan?

The last text the client sent

said the remainder of Abu Ali's payment

would be available in 48 hours,

about midday today.

Our plan is to send the client a text

saying the money never got to us.

You're gonna impersonate the sniper?

Over text.

What if they were using a code, he and the client?

They weren't.

We went over the entire correspondence history

with the techs.

They're speaking standard Arabic.

No suspiciously odd grammar, no suspiciously repeated words.

That's great, but what about after the 48 hours?

What exactly are you gonna text back to them?

- "Show me the money." - Only way

this gets us somewhere is if the guy on the other end

of the phone shows up somewhere we can grab him.

Do you think a guy

that brings in a sniper from Syria

to take out a high-profile target

is gonna drop off his own money?

- Come on now. - If he sends an underling,

we follow the underling back to whoever he works for.

Yeah, the people who took out Echo Team.

Look, the phone's our only link between our assassin

and the guy who hired him.

All right, if we're gonna use that phone

to get the client to stick his head out,

then we need to do it before he realizes the assassin's dead.

- On second thought... - Whoa.

Where-where exactly are you going?

I'm gonna see if I can't buy us some more time.

You're not an easy woman to get a hold of.

Well, I've been a little busy hunting the sniper

who targeted an American congressional delegation.

"The coward who martyred our great friend and ally,

- General Salim Hakan." - Yeah, I read the DoD statement.

Amazing what death can do for your public image.

Salim was always a savvy PR man.

And no truth to the rumor

the assassin was killed at the scene?

If the assassin's dead,

who are we so busy looking for?

How should I know?

Maybe you guys are using this manhunt as an excuse

to further intimidate the local population.

Since when do we need an excuse?

So he's alive, the sniper?

Far as I know.

I don't suppose you've I.D.'d him yet.

Or, if you have, you'd care to share.

Mm.

We think he's a Syrian national

known as Abu Ali.

Long resume of high-profile murders-for-hire.

Wow. Thank you.

Should I assume that this is off-the-record?

You can quote me as an unnamed source

from the intel community.

- What? - I'm just not used

to you giving me anything.

Usually you bat your eyelashes

and ask me to do something that provides exactly zero benefit

for me or the people I work for.

Well, consider it a thank-you.

- Two-way street. - Exactly.

We believe he's still in J-Bad, by the way.

Abu Ali. He's laying low

until we get tired of looking for him.

Smart. Guys get caught when they move.

I wish I could figure out how you're playing me.

It's such a shame to see such cynicism

in one so young.

Yeah, right.

It's been almost an hour since the time they set.

If the client's planning on paying our dead sniper,

he's done it by now.

I know.

Then we good to go?

Look, it's a good plan.

Yeah.

It's the plan we got, anyway.

Read me the message we're sending one more time.

"Where's my money? This is unacceptable."

Send it.

Our dead sniper's back in action.

All right, so what now?

Now we wait.

Okay.

For how long?

We wait, Sonny. That's what we do.

As long as it takes, we wait.

Oh, here we go.

Guy wrote back. "What do you mean?

The money should be in the account."

What do you want me to say?

Tell him

all you know is it wasn't there when you checked,

and anyway, now that the media has your name,

you're gonna need the payment in cash so you can disappear.

You get all that?

Yeah.

Now we wait again.

Come on.

Sonny, get him, get him.

- Yeah, come on. - Oh!

Oh, here we go.

- Get him. - Got to reload.

Almost. Oh, that was almost your foot.

- All right, listen up. - Listen up, Sonny.

- Ay, ay, ya. - Listen up.

This is Sergeant Percy Jacobs.

He's a case officer

with the Army's Criminal Investigative Division.
