I'm Lieutenant Commander
Williams, the JAG assigned

to your defense.FLORES:
Master Chief Hayes is accused

of voluntary manslaughter
for shooting

Yazeed Nafal,
an unarmed Jordanian civilian

Exhibit 3: cell phone footage
of the shooting.

[gunshots over video]

Command has issued
a no-contact order.

You are to stay away
from each other and from Jason.

My detailer called,
said that I should hear back

about that Echo job
by next month.

I'm pregnant.DAVIS:
She deserves a response.

NAIMIA:
What do you need a lawyer for?

The i-investigation involves
classified information.

Why are you holding out on me?

What happened to Sonny
wasn't on you.

Everything falls on Bravo 1.

Trial counsel
found out that, uh,

Raqqa Jacques
was Ray's torturer.

They think I shot an
unarmed man out of revenge.

They upped the charges
to murder.

WILLIAMS:Chief Warrant Officer Ray Perry
has already testified

that when you found out
about Raqqa Jacques,

you were determined
to get revenge on his behalf.

That's not accurate.

So much so that you charged
into that building

loaded for bear and shot
the first man you saw.

Look, it was a routine op.

So it's routine for you
to murder unarmed civilians

on operations?I didn't murder anybody.

This is what they do.

Push your buttons
to make you look volatile.

All right, look, can we just runit again until I
get it right?

Keep running it.

There's a reason most defendants
don't take the stand.

Well, I'm gonna look more
guilty if I don't say anything,

so I got to say something.

The judge will instruct
the panel that not testifying

is not an admission of guilt.

I'd recommend the same to any
client facing a murder charge.

[grunts softly]

♪

After Lindell comes Bravo.

Uh, Spenser, Quinn,Sawyer, Reynolds, Carter,

will all take the stand.

What about Ray?

He'll testify, but he's takenan immunity deal.

Immunity from what?

Dad's other teammates
didn't take any deals.

Since Chief Warrant Officer
Perry was the OIC

during the op in question,
the UCMJ

could technically charge him--
regardless of the outcome

of the trial-- with Article 92,

failure to obeya lawful regulation.

I'm sure the prosecution

presented him with immunity, uh,

in exchange for him
being on their witness list.

Well, if he's working
with the prosecution

that means he's gonna have
to testify against me.

That's it.I don't know.

I read his deposition
after it was unsealed.

His answers
are deliberately vague.

He was walking
a semantic tightrope.

But he'll be
forced to take

a strong position
in court, won't he?

They'll want to use
your father's friendship

to push the revenge angle,

dramatize Chief WarrantOfficer Perry's captivity

and say that his torture
was your father's motive

to kill an unarmed man.
I think you should go
get some sodas for us.

Dad, I can handle this.No, I think that you
should go.

I can do this.

Luckily,this won't be tried

in the court of public opinion,

so you and your family won't get
dragged through the mud.

The U.S. may bescapegoating you,

but no one wantsthis situation to get out.

Total media blackout.

Oh, that's too bad.
I was really hoping

to launch my T-shirt line
on 60 Minutes.

WILLIAMS:No gallery, no teammates.

No family. Not until
the verdict is announced.

Sorry, Emma.

[quietly]:
It's okay.

The good news is you
have a lot of support.

Unparalleled success
with high-profile missions.

An otherwise peerless record.

That's now been trashed.

I've gathered

over a dozen references
from past teammates.

Great work.

Thanks.Havinga "good sailor" book

full of rave character reviews
are just the thing we'll need

for leniency with the panel
in case of sentencing.

Sentencing?

Bad enough

that the Navythinks I'm guilty.

Now I have the two of you
convicting me.

[music playing softly]

[Stella grunting]

Hey, um, I don't know
how this is all going to fit.

I can't believe I accumulatedso much stuff.

[sighs] Well, I can't believe
that I asked a hoarder

to move in with me.

Forgive me
for being sentimental,

but you know, you never know

what you're gonna
fall in love with again.

Right?

Did you just compare me
to this...

this crusty
Walden Pond souvenir?

Okay, perhaps
I need to declutter.

I think that's
a good idea.

You should, uh,
you should probably cast away

all remnants of life
before you met me.

Same to you.

Actually, you know what?
Maybe we should, um,

give all of our stuffthe Marie Kondo treatment.

That sounds like a martial art.

No, it's when you're, uh,
supposed to hold something

and see if it "sparks joy,"

and if it doesn't spark joy,
then you throw it out.

I think this sparks joy.

Mm? Mm-hmm.Mm-hmm. Little bit.

Mm-mm-mm.

[phone ringing]

[both grunting]

It's Jace.

Hey, brother, what's up?

No.

No, I haven't heard from him.

Yeah, let me...

I'll see where
his head's at.

Okay.

That sounded ominous.

Jason's worried about
what Ray's gonna say in court.

And Jason can't contact
Ray directly, so...

Look, I... [chuckles]

I know that, I know that we said

we would spend today together.

It's okay.
Do what you need to do.

I have... a little bit
to keep me busy.

You sure?

Just a little bit.

All right.Okay.

I'll be back soon, okay?Okay.

[aircraft whooshing]

We need to go back
to your JAG's office.

You can't run from this.

You think I'm guilty?
What?

I mean, do you think I'm guilty?

The way the prosecution is
spinning this right now, I-I...

completely get
why my own daughter

would think that I'm guilty.

I know you like
to do things the right way.

That's why I came down here
to help you.

And that's why
you need to prepare.Prepare.

Prepare for what,
my whole career

to be flushed
down the toilet?

I can't even speak
in my own defense here.

Well, Lieutenant Commander
Williams

said that's normal.
Normal?

Like your best friend stabbing
you in the back? That's normal?

You don't know
what's going on with him,

but he wouldn't do that.He wouldn't do that.

Uncle Ray's family.

You know, I hope you're right.

'Cause never did
I think the Navy

would be railroading me, either,
but here I am.

[sniffles]

Hey.

Hey.What are you doing here?

Just want to see how
you're holding up.

[scoffs] I'm fine. What makes
you think I need checking up on?

Well, maybe 'cause your best
friend's on trial for his life?

Or maybe because,
as OIC on the op,

if Jason goes down,
you could be at risk.

In this job, we're always in the
crosshairs. I got it handled.

You got it handled as in...
as in lawyering up

and getting immunity?

Look, team knows you didn't
do anything out of bounds.

Okay? Neither did Jason.

Just want to know
what's going on with you, man.

What part of "no-contact order"
don't you understand, Clay?

All right.

♪ Sit here in the dark...

HANNAH:
Sonny Quinn, what are you doing?

Oh, uh, just taking a break.

You know, I've defused bombs

that are a lot less complicated
than this crib.

[laughs]
Well, it's a good thing

you have ten more weeks
to put it together.

Yeah, well, it, uh,

it might actually
take me that long.

You know,
you're welcome here anytime.

Lisa, too.

Yeah. We'll definitely
take you up on that.

[phone ringing]

Oh, look at that.
Speak of the devil.

Hey.

DAVIS:
Hey.

Your ears must've been burning.

[laughs]Look at this right here.

Is that crib still in pieces?

[Hannah laughs]Yes, it is, okay?

The damn Swedish Chef
wrote the directions.

I told him he was
in over his head.

[laughs]:
Hey, Hannah. How are you?

I'm good.

I'm, uh, trying to hire
a new manager at the bar.

Hey, if you need anything,
um, we're here.

Thanks, Lisa.

I'll let you two catch up.Great. Thank you.

Uh-- You okay?
I'm good.

All right.

Hey.

Hi.

I'm so sorry I had
to extend the trip,

but, um, you know,
I didn't realize

there was so much stuff to do
for one tiny human.

How's everything going?

Uh, well, I've almost finished

collating the last of
the reports for the JAGs, and...

I kind of wish
they'd just call me as a witness

so I could defend
Jason publicly.

[stammers]
The optics of working on behalf

of the prosecution
does not look great.

Well, that ain't your choice.
Echo knows that.

You heard anything
on the new job?

Not yet, but probably just
tangled up

in the usual red tape.

Them, uh, damn pencil pushers
better hurry their butts up

because this right here, okay,

has been a little classified
for too long.

[laughs]

DAVIS:
Mm... [chuckles]

Right. I-I got to take Hannah

to go see
the OB-GYN Kenobi doctor.

Ah. No, I-I actually
have to go, too.

We just got clearance
to complete

the S.A. intel dossier
on Raqqa Jacques, so...

Have fun with Hannah.

I will. All right.
I'll call you later.

Bye.Bye.

WILLIAMS:The panel consists
of eight members.

Three are enlisted
and two are battle-tested.

They need three-fourths
to convict.

The prosecution will want
to prove you're a loose cannon

capable of war crimes.

They'll have scoured through
every Bravo AAR and evaluation

from the past two decades.

What exactly
are they looking for?

Violations of protocol,

clashes between you
and other operators.

Anything to show your emotions
overruled tactical judgement.

If their plan is to make my dad
out to be a monster,

what's our plan?

Cite your father's track record.

Highlight their shoddy
investigation.

Discredit the bystander's

incomplete video
of the shooting.

You make it sound so easy.

[knocking on door]

Um, I'm sorry to interrupt,
Lieutenant Commander.

I've got the Raqqa Jacques
dossier.

I also wanted to share
something else with you.

I was reviewing intel
from the Jordan op.

That man with the tattoo holding
the AK, that's Yazeed Nafal.

Whoa.

Let me see that.

EMMA:
That's the guy Dad shot.

They said he was just a driver.

In his recruitment
video, he calls for

"death to the Western world."

"Just a driver" my ass.

I hope that helps.
WILLIAMS:
Excellent work.

Davis, thanks.

Good luck tomorrow.
We're all behind you.

This is a game changer, right?

Proving Nafal was an active
member of the AKM

could demolish
the prosecution's case.

Things are starting
to look up here.

In the courtroom
tomorrow, remember,

it's not just the facts
or your record on trial.

The jury will be
watching you, too.

So when JAG Flores
attacks your character,

or a ruling goes against us,
you don't react.

Stay calm in the chaos
and show the jury

why they can trust you.

All rise.

Be seated, please.

[gavel bangs twice]

The court will now
come to order.

Is the government prepared
to make an opening statement?

Yes, Your Honor.
Permission to enter the well.

Proceed.

On 11 March, 2021,
while on a mission

with SEAL Team Bravo
in Irbid, Jordan,

Master Chief Jason Hayes
entered a residential building

and shot and killed
Yazeed Nafal,

an unarmed Jordanian civilian.

The government will demonstrate
by means of video evidence,

timeline and testimony that
Chief Hayes committed murder,

motivated by revenge
on behalf of his best friend

and fellow SEAL, Warrant Officer
Raymond Perry.

This is a tragic event.

While the government has
the utmost respect

for Master Chief Hayes'
service to this country,

he must be held accountable
for this heinous crime.

The prosecution will tell you
that Master Chief Hayes

went rogue.

That he was overcome
with vengeance

and shot an innocent man
in cold blood.

Nonsense.

It is Master Chief Hayes'
unwavering sworn statement

that the deceased, Yazeed
Nafal, an AKM henchman,

was holding an M1951 Beretta
in his left hand.

The taking of a life
might be heinous

to those of us fortunate enough

to never have engaged
in combat,

but the reality is that
Master Chief Hayes

is wrongly on trial
for doing his job.

Mr. Khalaf,
as the representative

of Jordan's General
Intelligence Directorate,

you have intimate knowledge
of the investigation.

Could you tell us what was
discovered at the crime scene?

Police found the body
of Yazeed Nafal in the hallway

with two gunshot wounds
to the chest.

Mr. Khalaf, was a weapon found
on or near Nafal's body?No.

No weapons of any kind.

What other evidence did the
police recover from the scene?

A neighbor came forward to share

a mobile phone video
he recorded.

I will now play the footage
from this cell phone camera.

Exhibit 2.

[silenced gunshots, grunting]

WILLIAMS:
Mr. Khalaf,

the time stamp on the video
is 12:02 p.m.

Police arrived
at 12:29 p.m.

So it's conceivable
that in 27 minutes,

a passerby could
have taken the gun.

Perhaps even the police or...

someone wanting to spin
the events in a different...

Objection.

Speculation.

Sustained.

WILLIAMS: Master Chief
Hayes is on record

stating Nafal had a pistol
at his side

in his left hand.

Could the family of Yazeed Nafal
confirm he was left-handed?

The victim's family,
in their grief,

did not respond to your inquiry.

The "victim."

Right.

Is the Jordanian
government aware

Nafal was not working
for an officer of the AKM

but was an enthusiastic member
of the AKM himself?

I will now play

Exhibit A.Objection.
Lack of foundation.

The defense is putting
the victim on trial.

Sustained.

Your Honor,
I've admitted into evidence

authenticated propaganda.I have reviewed

your late submission

and have ruled the evidence
to be inadmissible.

The victim cannot
defend himself

in this courtroom.

The only person on trial
here is Master Chief Hayes.

[slams table]

The judge made a
perplexing ruling,
[exhales]

but you can't
lash out like that.Perplexing?

That's the word you use?
"Perplexing"?

This judge, is he trying
to railroad me, too?

My entire life

is under the microscope here,

and we can't discuss the fact
that this guy was a terrorist?

It's one judge's bad decision.

I'm confident it would be
overturned on appeal.

Appeal?
My entire career will be over

if this goes to appeal.

Put it behind us for now.

We've got enough to worry about
with Lindell.

He'll want to distance himself
from any scandal.

That's great. Lindell.
Guy's wanted me gone

since he got here.

Now is his shot.

Master Chief Hayes
retired from operating,

then asked to return
to field duty.

Do you know why?

He believed he would have the
most impact on the battlefield.

Couldn't stay out
of the fight, could he?

Did you have
any reservations

about reinstating
Master Chief Hayes as Bravo 1?

His performance mitigated
any of my concerns.

FLORES:
Have you ever needed to
reprimand Master Chief Hayes

for his conduct?

Yes, on occasion.

I have here an evaluation
dated 7 October 2019

where you refer to Master Chief
Hayes as a "renegade."

So, in your opinion,

does the Master Chief

play by his own rules?

I was referring to his tactics,
not his character.

While it's true the Master
Chief doesn't always do things

the way I would like...

I'm loathe to imagine what the
war on terror would look like

without him
at the tip of the spear.

In all my years in the Teams,

I've come across
no finer operator

than Master Chief Hayes.

♪

Appreciate you cleaning
yourself up, SO1 Quinn.

Navy gave us relaxed
grooming standards

so we could stay mission ready.

You like

going after guys for following
the rules, don't you? Hmm?

When you passed the deceased
in the hallway,

did you see a gun on his person
or on the ground?

I didn't. No.

No, sir, I did not.

But I wasn't looking for one.

You never even entered
the building,

yet in your deposition,
you allege Master Chief Hayes

followed the ROEs?

If Master Chief Hayes shot
a man,

that man had a weapon
or was a direct threat.

You saw the victim enter
the building.

Did you see him holding the gun

Master Chief Hayes describes?

One guy had an AK slung
over his shoulder.

Other guy could have had
a concealed weapon.

FLORES:
But you didn't see the
weapon on the victim?

It was your regular Jihad Joe
working for AKM.

The same terrorist

that blew up
12 servicemen

in Baghdad.Answer the question,
Petty Officer.

No, I didn't.

Four eagle-eyed sharpshooters,

and not one of them
spotted a gun.

Have you ever questioned

Bravo 1's decision-making
on a mission?

We've all had
our difference of opinions.

But I trust

Master Chief Hayes more
than anyone to get us home.

Has anyone discussed going
"shields up"

to protect your team leader?

No, sir.

No member of Bravo
would stand by

and support a brother
if he committed a war crime.

None of you saw
this elusive gun,

yet you all assert, under oath,
that Chief Hayes is innocent.

If he made that mistake,

he'd own up to it.Really?

Can you name one instance
of Master Chief Hayes

owning up to an error
he made in the field?

Nothing comes to mind.

Teammates painted
a picture of you

as someone who's always in
control on the battlefield.

I'm not sure
they swayed the panel.

Only two members
have seen combat.

The rest of them
don't know what it's like

outside the wire.Which is why Chief
Warrant Officer Perry,

as an officer and operator,
is our best option

to appeal to them.Or the best option

to put the final nail
in my coffin.

[clears throat][gavel bangs twice]

SERGEANT AT ARMS:
Court will now come to order.

Is the government prepared
to proceed?

Yes, Your Honor.

Call your next witness.

The government calls

Chief Warrant Officer
Raymond Perry

to the stand.

♪

FLORES:
When did you learn the man you
were hunting was your torturer?

RAY: The night
before the mission.

FLORES:
When did Master Chief
Hayes learn this?

The next morning.

Did Master Chief Hayes
pressure you

into launching an opwithout approval from
Jordan?No.

No?

In your deposition, when
asked if Master Chief Hayes

was eager to pursue the
op, you answered yes.

Yes, he wanted to move;
no, he didn't pressure me.

The timeline of events
indicates that

as soon as Master Chief Hayes
knew of your connection

to the mission, the op
was full speed ahead.

Yes, we received time-sensitive
actionable intel that morning.

You're saying the Master Chief's
knowledge of Raqqa Jacques

and the launch of this op
was just a coincidence?

Yes, sir.

Time was of the essence.

How many S.A. missions
have you led as warrant officer?

Two.

FLORES:
You were held captive
for six days and subjected

to extreme physical and
psychological torture.

I'm sure no one
in this courtroom

would blame you for bending

to the will of someone you trust

if they promised you
retribution.

Is that a question, sir?

Must be difficult...
to suddenly act as OIC

to a man you have been
subordinate to for 13 years.

As much as I respect
Master Chief Hayes,

I respect
the chain of command more.

It was my decision

to take the op kinetic.

The mission
was a success,

as was the follow-on.

And for the record...

I killed Raqqa Jacques,

not Jason Hayes.

No further questions.

Your Honor,

given that Chief Warrant Officer
Perry's testimony

nullifies the revenge motive
for murder,

I propose a motion to
dismiss all charges.

I will dismiss the charge
of premeditated murder.

But the members

could still find for
involuntary manslaughter.

The witness may
be excused.

♪

Ray had your six
after all.
Mm-hmm.

Losing motive puts a big hole
in the prosecution's case.

But the involuntary
manslaughter,

this boots me
off the team,

gets me ten years.

Still, there's no gun.

Our expert witness will poke
holes in the video evidence.

Expert witness?
You're telling me

I have to rely on
some computer geek

to look for missing
camera angles here?

I mean, even you
said that video

makes me look
like a killer.

I need to tell my
side of the story.

Putting you on the stand
will make us look desperate.

I am desperate.It only took me

three questions to get you
to self-destruct in prep.

Flores is dying to get you on
his turf and push your buttons.

My word should matter.

If you blow up on the stand,

your word will get you sent
away for the rest of your life.

It's my ass on the line, ma'am.

Do you solemnly swear or affirm
that the testimony

you will give in this general
court-martial will be the truth,

the whole truth
and nothing but the truth,

under penalty of perjury?

I do.

Please be seated.

State your name,

rank and billet.Jason M. Hayes,

Master Chief,
United States Navy.

Navy Special Warfare
Development Group.

Bravo Team Leader.It's your witness.

Master Chief,
walk me through what happened

in Irbid on 11 March.

Bravo Team arrived
on target.

My teammates
observed two men

enter an apartment complex,
one shouldering an AK.

Because they were armed,

we entered the apartment complex
with our pistols drawn.

Surely it was chaos the moment
you entered the building.

How are you able
to recall what happened

during such a kinetic operation?

We're trained to do this.

It's our job.

We remain calm in the chaos.

It's like time slows down.

I led my team
up the stairs.

I was the tip of the spear.
I rounded a corner.

I looked up, I saw a male--

black hair, track jacket.

Had a gun on his side
in his left hand.

It was a Beretta M1951.

Before he could alert
the others, I shot him.

I continued into the target,
and I completed my duty.

No further questions.

Is there cross-examination?

Yes, Your Honor.

So, Master Chief Hayes,
your duty,

as you put it,
is to kill people?

You got that backwards.

My job is to save lives,
not take them.

Like the hundreds of innocent
people that Bravo Team saved

by stopping AKM terrorists

from taking out
two commercial airliners.

Speaking of
innocent people,

I'd like to concentrate
on the very real,

and very dead, unarmed
Jordanian citizen, Mr. Nafal.

Is he the first unarmed man
you've killed?

Objection.

Sustained.

How many people have you killed?

That's not something
I think about.

Is that because
after 20 years

you've become
indifferent to killing?

It's because
I know what it means

to take a human life.

Chief Warrant Officer Perry
testified

that you learned
of the HVT's identity

a few hours
before the Irbid op.

That's correct.

You rescued Warrant Officer
Perry from his torture chamber.

You witnessed his ordeal,

and his condition,
first hand?

I did.

That must have been difficult.

If I had been in your position,
I would absolutely want justice

for what was done
to my best friend.

With all due respect, sir,

you've never been
in my position.

Are you telling me
this bombshell about the HVT

didn't cause you to conflate
your personal feelings

and your professional duty?

It's always personal.

The war on
terror started

when 3,000
of our fellow Americans

were killed on our own soil.

They hit us,

so we hit them back.

There's nothing impersonal
about it.So you're admitting

emotion clouded your judgment

and led you to kill
an unarmed man?

Mr. Nafal had a gun.

Clearly a man willing to
compromise his morals to kill

must be willing to lie, too.

Objection.

Overruled.

Answer the question,
Master Chief.

The war on terror has come
at a heavy price.

It's cost me my family,

my teammates, my marriage,

seeing my kids grow up.

But the one thing
that it hasn't taken from me

is my honor and my word.

I wouldn't disrespect
the Trident to protect myself.

Lying would be
a betrayal to my men

and the country I love to serve.

I only have one more question.

Master Chief Hayes...

after Mom.

Okay.

You've always been able to
manage without having me around

most of your life.

You-you kept the family
together.

Why do you always
do that?

What?

Acting like
the only value you have is

to your team
on the battlefield.

I don't care what you think.

You're the only parent
I have left.

I'm always gonna need you.

Look, I'm sorry.

Hey.

[softly]:They can't take you away
from me.

[chuckles]:
They're not. Don't. Hey.

Hey. Shh.

[sobbing softly]

They won't.

Lt. Commander Williams,

I'm sorry to be calling you

This photo of Yazeed
Nafal was taken

by Chief Petty Officer
Mina Hassan in Irbid, Jordan,

48 hours before he was shot
by Master Chief Hayes.

There is a gun tucked
into Nafal's waistband

on the left side.

The grip is consistent
with an M1951 Beretta.

The gun described
by Master Chief Hayes.

Yes, ma'am, the very same.

FLORES:
What matters is the evidence.

A video of Master Chief Hayes
shooting an unarmed man

without provocation.

The defense provided
a partial image of the grip

of a pistol from two days
before the killing.

This is purely circumstantial
and cannot put a gun

in the victim's hand
at the time of his death.

The government asks
that you find the accused

guilty as charged.

Lieutenant Commander Williams.

You've seen the photo
of the gun.

You've heard the testimony
of the sailors

who stood alongside
Master Chief Hayes,

who applaud his good standing
and honorable reputation.

And you've heard
the sworn statement

of Master Chief Hayes himself.

Master Chief Hayes,

in many ways,

is the embodiment
of the war on terror.

For over 20 years he's run
into the fire for his country.

While the prosecution
has gone to great lengths

to portray Master Chief Hayes
as a killer,

I've learned--

and I hope you have, too--

that Master Chief Hayes
doesn't do his job

to shoot the enemy
in front of him.

He does it to protect
the people behind him.

Not just his teammates
but his countrymen.

And despite all he's sacrificed

and the deep, personal price
he's paid,

Master Chief Hayes has never
asked for anything in return.

So I'll ask for him.

If you're willing to trust
him with your freedom,

please also trust his word.

Has the panel reached a verdict?

Yes, we have, Your Honor.

We find the defendant,
Master Chief Jason M. Hayes...

...not guilty.

Thank you.

It was my honor, Master Chief.

There you go.
Thank you.

SONNY:
Oh, what we got here?

[chuckles]Hey now.

NAIMA:All hail
the conquering hero.

Hey, how are you?Mm.

Thank you. You didn't have
to do all this, you know.

All you been through?

Couldn't get the champagne
on ice fast enough.

JAG Flores found
out what happens

when you mess
with the great Jason Hayes, huh?

Thanks, man,
appreciate you all.

I really do.
Thanks for, uh, being there

and standing by me
with the support.

All of you, thanks.

Thank you.

RAY:
Bravo 1.

Welcome back.

[laughter]

Love you, brother, hey.Love you back.

Appreciate you, I really do.

Thanks for what you did
up there on the stand.

All I did was tell the truth.

Yeah, but...

going kinetic.

Maybe I did pusha little too hard.
Mm.

I was the OIC.

You didn't make me do anything
I didn't want to.

Okay.

Chief Warrant Officer Perry.

[chuckles] I'm just glad
the truth finally prevailed.

Not sure I could've kept on
without you.

Good thing
I'm not going anywhere.

[bottles clank]

Mm.
Hey, where's Stella?

She, uh, she had a lot
of papers to grade.
Mm.

Look, man.

The way I handled everything...

No worries, man.

You were just looking
after your team leader here.

Shouldn't have doubted you.

Just, uh, Jason in
DoD's crosshairs,

I lost track of... everything

that you've been through
these last few months, too.

JASON:
It's been a tough go

for Bravo Team
since we got back from Tunisia.

Yeah, I'm just glad
it's behind us.

All of it.That's right.

Hey, uh, not to upstage...

Bravo 1 here, but, uh, I, uh,

I got some big news myself.

The McRib's back already?

[laughter]

Uh... I'm gonna be a dad.

What?

Yeah.

JASON:
Sonny Quinn's gonna be

a dad...Wait, uh, who's the lucky lady?

And what time does
she get off stage?

The mother, um,

is an old friend of mine
from Texas.

But, uh, we're not together.

Why not?

It's, uh, it's complicated.

CLAY:
Look, I think, uh,

I think we're long overduefor a toast here,
huh?Yeah.

Yeah.

Come on, babe.
Get in there.

Get in there.Get 'em altogether now.

To freedom.Freedom!

ALL:
Freedom!

All right, all right, so...

what does a lawyer get
when you give him Viagra?

What?
Taller.

[laughter]

That's all I got,
that's all I got.

Maybe Ray should take some.

Ooh, burn!

CLAY:Did you guys see
the look on the JAG's face

when they announced
the verdict?

Douche thought
he had a career-maker.

Seriously, man, baiting us
with those questions

about Raqqa Jacques?

Come on, like this, like this
was some sort of revenge

mission for Ray's torture.

BROCK:Like we need a reason
to go after a terrorist.

TRENT:
Uh, yeah, like, uh, hello?

That's our job.

SONNY:
Hey.

Why aren't you inside?

It's a party, not a
wake, because of you.

Not really in the mood.

Um, I saw Lindell
after the verdict.

And...

...I didn't get
the job with Echo.
What?

[stammers]
But you're a shoo-in.

Yeah, because of the
investigation into Bravo,

command didn't even
consider my application.

You're kidding me.

I mean, the trial's over.

Jason was acquitted.

Yeah, detailer said
there's not

gonna be another position
open with DEVGRU

anytime soon.

I'm stuck with Bravo.

I'm sorry.

So we're back

to where we were
a year ago, huh?

[phone chimes]

Oh... it's Hannah.

She-she had a...

a doc-- um...

Uh, doesn't matter.

It's not exactly where we were
a year ago. [scoffs]

Yeah.

[both exhale]

Is this another sign?

Seems, you know...

no matter how hard we try,

the stars, they...

they just don't align.

Mm. When I was
back in Texas,

everyone mistook Hannah
and I as a couple.

And here...

nobody's allowed
to know what we have.

[whispers]:
That's not fair.

No, it's not.

[shuddering]

I don't know how to fix this.

You know, if I had a nickel
for every damn obstacle

that was thrown in our way...

I think you just...

get to a point where
there's more reasons to break up

than stay together.

No, it looks good.

I'm glad that you approve.

Except for one thing.

What?

What...

Uh, you don't need

Bravo doesn't need

Some revenge mission.

Jason was found innocent, babe.

That's not what happened.

You said Jordan was
just another op.

I thought we
shared everything.

their leader back.

Well, real celebration

Mm.

Of course you can.

Yeah.

Always tried my best not to

Mm-hmm.But, uh...

this one was tough.

It stirred something

You're not a war criminal, Dad.

I'm not a hero, either.

Don't need a jury

Want me to read a letter?

I love when you read to me.Oh.

Sure.

"I had the distinct honor

"of serving alongside Master
Chief Hayes for two years.

"His leadership in the

Theo.

That's a blast from the past.

I don't remember you
ever mentioning him.

Yeah. Well, you know,
you were...

You were
in your poo-poo diapers.

How old do you think I am?

He writes he got out
eight years ago.

You were young.

He got an injury and...

left Bravo Team. I...
