Okay, so, your head
goes back first,

then your shoulders,

then just bring
your feet up and around.

Okay.

Sam, go inside
before you get hurt.

Mom, Taylan said
to go back inside,

but she was supposed to...

I'm never having children.

Okay,
so this is what you're gonna do.

Just, like, start it off
with something simple like...

...that.

And then just, like, go off

from there into, like,
a back handspring.

I saw that.

Quite a talent.

Guess you'll be cheering
for the Commanders, eh?

Commanders suck.

Aha. Ravens fan.

- How'd you know?
- Oh.

I can spot you guys a mile away.

- Denise.
- Mr. Secretary.

- Byron here?
- Yes, yes,

- please come in.
- Thank you.

Kids are growing like weeds.

More like a fungus.

Well, soon that fungus
will all be gone,

and you'll only remember
the flowers.

Why would
a journalist be offended...

- Byron.
- ...when I won't simply

take your word for it...

- Ah, thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

- Sit.
- ...to corroborate an assertion?

Let me know if I can

- get you anything.
- Thanks, hon.

...is an embarrassment
to the nation...

Ah, leave it on. Leave it on.

I haven't listened
to the pundits today.

There are 64 million
Latinos in America.

"Latino"? Do you think
that's an appropriate term

in our current climate, Dan?

So, what should I say?
Should I say Latinx?

I should just invent a term...

Oh, hell, I stand corrected.
Turn that shit off.

...to satisfy your aversion

- to being disagreed with?
- It's not about...

How the fuck are we supposed

to seek solutions when
we can't agree on what language

to use to discuss the problem?

If you want my opinion, sir,

news stopped being news
when they started

- doing it 24 hours a day.
- You got it.

It became entertainment
and a poor form at that.

Court jesters who have fallen
out of favor with the king.

Now they're mocking

the court itself.

Before long, the court's
gonna start chanting,

"Off with their heads."

And they know it.

In a decade no pillar
of journalism will exist

in its current form.

New York Times, Washington Post,

Wall Street Journal,

they stopped reporting the news

and started telling us
what they think the news is

and what our opinion
of that news should be.

Americans have
always been gullible,

but they're not stupid.

Lie to them enough,

and they won't trust you
to tell them the sun's rising.

We have a problem, Byron.

We're trying to contain it, sir.

We've isolated all the elements
that risk our exposure.

It seem to me
that when our strike team gets

ambushed on U.S. soil,

the exposure is already
beyond containment.

Agreed.

And explain this to me.

Explain suicide bombers
along the border.

Well, it certainly
doesn't benefit the cartels.

Right? It's likely they had
no knowledge of it.

The drone strikes reek
of Russian

or Iranian counterintelligence,

and the fact that the bomber
himself shouted out in prayer

prior to detonation...

We believe it's
Iranian counterintelligence

through a proxy at the behest
of Chinese intelligence.

To what end?

I mean, there's stirring
the hornet's nest,

and then there's kicking it.

We believe it serves
two purposes.

One is to continue

the destabilization
of the border

in order to influence
the election.

The other's a mask

to shift our intelligence
focus stateside.

The American people are
so completely

lacking in intellect
that they need you, the media,

to tell them
how to think and feel...

We have information
from both Jordanian intelligence

and Mossad that two Chinese
nuclear scientists are

stationed in Hakkâri, Turkey

with plans to transport
into Tehran sometime next week.

Where were you on 9/11?

I, uh...

I was a junior case officer
in Islamabad.

In the middle of it
from the start, huh?

Yes, I was.

Huh.

I was in my third term
in the House.

You will recall that there was
some question

about the legitimacy
of the election

of our 43rd president.

So much so that we decided
that his first term

would be his only term.

So, to that end we stonewalled
every appointment.

And I'm not just talking
about the cabinet.

I'm talking
about bench appointments,

U.S. attorney appointments.

If he tried to get a kid
into the Naval Academy,

we figured out a way
to block it.

Petty as that is.

Then 9/11.

And instantly,
Congress, the press,

and everybody in
the United States turned to him

as our commander in chief.

We relied on him to lead us,

to speak and act

on our behalf, and he did.

When he spoke to Congress
September the 20th,

he scared the shit out of every
leader in the world.

Terrified them
into behaving for a decade.

Say what you want
about what he did after, but...

you can't say anything
about a man

who stood before Congress
and emboldened the nation

to come together.

We needed a leader.

And a leader arose.

We trusted him to rise.

What eroded that trust?

What got us
to where we are today?

I don't know all
the ingredients in that soup,

but I know some.

And nobody's innocent.

Not one president,
not one member of Congress,

not the press, nobody.

2,977 people

died on 9/11.

And I'm not including

the fucking hijackers
in my count.

And we came together.

Over a million died in COVID.

Almost tore us apart.

The difference in leaders.

And right now we don't have one.

The enemy is at the gate and...

we left it wide open.

Slamming it shut now
would end careers.

Could end yours, could end mine.

But we have to do it.

They found a way in.

And I'm not talking
about starving families

from Guatemala.

The cartels earned
$13 billion dollars

last year on human trafficking.

Starving families don't have
13 billion to spend.

I'm aware.

Mm.

Well, we're not the only country
with open borders.

Maybe it's time we reminded

our adversaries of that.

We can do that.

Good.

Okay.

You, uh...

you keep us informed, okay?

But only after
the mission has begun.

What, you don't...

I mean, the committee doesn't
need to give approval, sir?

Oh, hell.

It will absolutely
need approval.

That's how we'll stop you.

So don't ask.

Sir, I have a family.

You can't ask me to jump
on that grenade.

No, no, no.

I'm only asking you to throw it.

I'll jump on it.

There's a fair amount
of wildcat in this one

coming out of anesthesia.

I have no doubt.

You mind?

Turns out, it wasn't a bullet.

It was a fragment
of your cell phone

that lacerated
your hepatic artery.

We performed anastomosis
to close the dissection,

then wrapped the artery in
a mesh to increase its strength.

The chances of repeat
arterial dissection are limited,

but no heavy lifting,
no intense activities--

jiujitsu, boxing,

any of that stuff you tried
on my nurses, okay?

For how long?

Like you to take it
pretty easy for the next week.

You don't have to stay in bed,

but let's not do any
wind sprints for a while.

You start feeling dizzy,
lethargic, sudden chills,

straight to the ER
with you, okay?

What if waiting a week
isn't possible?

Look, I don't know what you do,

but I've got a pretty good idea
what you do.

I've done this procedure
on operators

that jumped out of planes
the following week

without any issue,

and I've had one bend over
to pick up a towel

and bleed out
in the next 15 minutes.

All I'll say is,
if the devil's showing aces,

think it through
before playing your hand.

You know what I mean?

We're gonna keep her
one more night,

then you can take her home.

You know the signs
to look out for.

I do. Thank you.

It was cruel to call you.

But I had a chance
to hear your voice again,

and I took it.

Apology not accepted.

Here's what I learned,
our girls are strong.

They'll survive, right?
They'll hurt.

They'll be angry,
they'll act out,

all the things people do when
they lose someone they love,

but they'll survive, Joe.

Me?

Joe...

I won't.

I won't make it, Joe.

And I'm not telling you
to quit doing what you do.

There's no ultimatums,
but goddamn it,

if you die doing this, Joe,
you're gonna kill me, too.

I'm not strong enough
to live without you, Joe.

Duty's not a choice, Neal.

Oh, don't give me that shit.

Then leave me.

Divorce me.

I took this oath
before you married me,

and you knew it,
which means you took it, too.

We both swore to sacrifice me,

and if you're not strong enough,
then get stronger

'cause I can't
unswear this oath.

Drones were the last to hit us.

They are not your team.
They are my team.

Which is to say they are the

You, unfortunately for both

- How can you do that?
- That part of my job...

I won't talk about.

Jordanian GID
and IDF intelligence

picked up both of these

arriving in Istanbul.

The fuck is she doing here?

- I asked her to be here.
- What is she doing here?

- I asked the same question.
- This is our deal now.

It's a joint deal.

Let's play nicely,
play together.

Go ahead.

Daiu Suen. Cantonese.

Undergrad at MIT,
PhD in Nuclear Engineering

from Tsinghua University,
Beijing.

This is Jun Hie Xiong.

He's actually
an American citizen,

born in Fullerton, California,
undergrad at MIT.

You might be noticing a theme.

He received his PhD
from the Royal Institute

of Technology in Stockholm.

They arrived on Monday.

And on Wednesday,

they were transported
to Diyarbakir Air Base.

It is a known
transshipment point to Iran

for assets and equipment.

Typically,
they would be transported

to Isfahan Nuclear facility.

We do have Predators in place
to strike should that happen,

however, the window for Iraqi
airspace is very narrow.

Suppose we wanted
the strike in Iran.

Uh, I don't know why
you would want that,

but obviously,

it does increase
our tactical opportunities.

How do they transport?

They use land and air both,

depending on the situation
on the ground.

Our presence not far from there,

as well as enhanced
Kurdish militia elements,

guarantees that the transport
will probably be by helo.

Air traffic from Diyarbakir is

heavily monitored by IDF
and Jordan--

not to mention us--

so they will have to stay
below radar.

- What is this?
- Not sure.

Strike options.

Outside of a drone,
I don't really know.

Unless you're comfortable
with invading Iranian airspace,

you could call in jets
from Eisenhower,

but then the whole world
is watching.

Can I...

Apologies.

I just need mission clarity.

I thought that this was related

to our operation
along the border.

You said yourself
that the suicide bomber

along the border
was most likely Iranian,

and that his detonation

was to eliminate an asset
that he was escorting.

Correct.

You also said a number
of the individuals

with him were Chinese.

They appeared Asian,
but I cannot say

that they were Chinese.

Are we having an issue

with Japanese or Korean
nationals bypassing immigration?

We do not.

But I don't understand
the mission.

The mission
is to show Iran and China

that we aren't the only nation
with an open border.

Got it?

- Got it.
- Good.

What about Carrillo?
Are we discussing that here?

We'll take care of Carrillo,
don't-- Just worry about this.

Strike options beyond a drone.

You could get a team
on the ground

if you have a flight path.

We could strike
with a Javelin or Stinger.

How do you get the team
in and out?

There's a Kurdish Peshmerga
outpost outside Sulaymaniyah.

You can fly helos in or out.

Well, if that's the case,
and they do move by vehicle,

you could just helo
a team in right here

and strike along that highway,

execute a VI
right on that bridge.

You sure you want
boots on the ground?

Because boots on the ground
takes it out of our hands.

What about a DAP from Sykes?

Assuming it's a transport
helicopter, no escort.

Move them from Sykes
to Sulaymaniyah with a helo.

After that,
it doesn't really matter

if you move them by helo
or you move them by convoy.

Now you got to bring in 160th,
get birds to Sykes.

Well, Sykes has the bird,
I have the pilot.

- You have a pilot?
- Yeah.

The one everyone chose for me.

Now I can finally do something

that she actually
is trained for.

Walk me through worst cases.

Worst case is the bird
gets shot down.

If that happens, you'd need
more than a five-man QRF

to get her out of there.

What do I need on the ground?

At least two Delta teams

that've worked closely
with Kurdish militia.

Some armor, an MRAP at least.

I'd want some jets on alert.

They can scramble from Al-Asad.

I'd fucking love
another helo or exfil,

and an Apache.

You can get me that?

Want me to get her that?

I want these targets
eliminated in Iran.

Do not hit them in Iraq,

even if the opportunity
presents itself.

They need to know
how far we can reach.

I can get you
everything but the Apache.

Your CAS is coming from Al-Asad.

That's 30 minutes away,
you put them in the air

when the mission launches.

Can we run this under your flag?

It'd make air support
a lot simpler.

TFO runs intelligence
and logistics.

- Who has tactical?
- I can do it.

Don't wish for what
you don't want, Joe.

I want it.

I need it.

I can't walk away on a loss.

You can't ask that of me.

Please.

You observe and advise only.

Understood?

Got it.

No, is that fucking understood?

You spring a leak in Iran,
you better bleed out.

Because if they get
their hands on you,

they will parade you
through the streets

and run you up a flagpole.

That is a level
of mission failure

that is impossible to overstate.

Stay on base,
no matter what happens.

Understood.

Okay.

Let's do it.

- Let's get approval.
- You have approval.

Not yours to give.

They need deniability
if this bellies up.

They don't want to know.
You got me?

You have logistics and intel.

You pull a team, loop in AF
and keep it quiet.

- Yes, sir.
- All right.

Yee-fucking-haw.

Always makes me nervous
how happy they get.

All right.

Know your bounds, your limits.

And don't become a liability.

- You're not coming with me?
- No.

I have to go to Costa Rica,
clean up our other mess.

But, um, my advice,
don't go home.

He's not gonna take this well.

Okay?

Alert the team.

Good luck.

Hey.

Use it.

Damn it, man.

Fuck.

Fuck died in you?

What is it?

Hey, is everybody up?

All our shit's in Bliss.

Think they're gonna
send it over?

Our gear's still in Texas.

Okay, we'll go to the Unit,
kit up here.

Yeah, they love it
when we show up

and pirate all their shit.

I got Direct Support
loading an ISU.

It'll meet us at Al-Asad.

We're going back to Iraq?

- Yeah.
- Let's go.

Why are we going back to Iraq?

You got to get dressed.
We got to go.

- Go where?
- Uh, I don't know.

All I know is we're wheels up
in a half hour.

I thought the mission was over.

It ain't over.

Come on, let's go.

- They load an ISU for us?
- They're loading three.

We're meeting up with
another team, in country.

What are we doing?

We putting her back in?

I'll explain on the plane.

Is it gonna get spicy?

Oh, yeah, it's gonna get spicy.

I love it
when things gets spicy.

How spicy is it gonna get?

This one's
right up your alley, Cruz.

Am I a part of this?

You're the part.

You get to save the day.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

How am I gonna do that?

We're gonna find out
how well you fly.

You're not making me fly
this fucking thing, are you?

No, but we've got something else
for you to fly.

Hey.

Hey.

How you feeling?

Little tired. Sore.

- Like a bad stomach ache.
- Yeah, well, that'll happen

after a major surgery
on your fucking torso.

Neal, I don't want to fight.

Well, stop picking them, then.

What's that sound, Joe?

It's a plane.

Right.

I don't know how long
I'll be this time.

Oh, I know how long you'll be
gone if those sutures tear.

- Forever.
- Neal...

And what am I supposed
to tell our fucking girls, huh?

We're gonna be worried fucking
sick until you come home.

She was right when she said
don't go home.

Tell them that I...

Tell them that I believe
in what I do,

and I do it for them.

Oh, fuck, I'm not
gonna tell them that.

Then tell them
whatever you want.

Yeah, I think I'll tell them
the truth this time.

Like I said,
tell them whatever you want.

But do one thing for me.

Just kiss them for me, okay?

Oh, no, no.

No, I'm gonna kiss them for me.

And when you come home
and decide to make your children

a fucking priority
like they deserve to be,

then you can kiss them yourself,
