Act of Valor

Yeah, things have changed.

That's why this is the last time we might have to see each other for quite some time.

For I might have to find a hole to hide in.

I don't understand.

I'm being watched by the CIA, and I'm not taking any chances.

As soon as the opportunity presents itself, I'm taking my family south.

I neither have the energy or the will to fight the Americans.

What about our deal, Mikhail?

My men have been training for almost a year now.

- I have devoted much of my resources... - The deal stands, Yuri.

Just because I've taken early retirement does not mean

I'm not holding up my end of the bargain.

There is so much to be done.

And it will be, just without me.

You'll have to use my trusted associates.

That's not so good for me.

- Hey... - Hey! Shut up!

Shut up!

Stop your fucking bullshit!

It's not good. Doesn't work. You can't change it like that.

- Nothing changes. Nothing. - You just told me everything's changed.

What... What is that? What is that?

Do you know what I do to get here?!

Do you know the men who I've had to sacrifice to get here?!

Do you have any idea?!

No, you shit! You live up here in this ivory tower!

You have no... You don't care!

- (HELICOPTER THWACKING) - (BEEPING)

Hey, Chief, what's the status on Mikey?

He's definitely gonna lose the eye, but he's... he's hanging tough.

Hey, I'm gonna get right into this.

Great job smoke-checking those assholes and getting Morales back.

It's a bum deal for Mikey, but I gotta tell you what, that was solid work.

So, Chief, you make sure you get that down to the boys right away.

- You hear me? - Check.

All right. Now, Morales, Morales was one tough chick,

but she should've gotten the stuff up the chain a lot faster

because this thing is way bigger than we thought it was.

How is that? I thought this was a cut-and-dry AMCIT recovery.

Yeah, it was until we got into that phone that you guys picked up in that shithole.

It turned me on to something that just does not look right at all.

- And what's not right about it? - Christo and Shabal are a lot closer

than I thought they were, and Shabal is a wild card, man.

He is an old-school jihadi that couldn't give a rat's ass about money or drugs.

Yeah, and his childhood friend, Christo, the dope dealer?

He is not a dealer, man. He's a smuggler.

- You have got to be kidding me. - That is exactly what I'm thinking.

Shabal wants to kill Americans.

Christo knows how to get fuckers inside America.

This could be big trouble in little China, fellas.

They're gonna hit us at home.

I just got done talking to the boss and the Spec Ops Task Force,

and this is what's gonna go down.

I need Ajay and Ray standing by to launch for an SR in two hours.

They're gonna get some frequent flyer miles on the way to Africa.

Why Africa?

We pinned an airfield there with that phone that you got,

and I think that Shabal is gonna be there doing a weapons transfer on his way west.

When you say "west," what are we talking about, Mexico west?

Yeah, Mexico west. That's worst-case scenario.

You two and the rest of the platoon are gonna stay here on standby.

You'll be the primary assault force in case

something goes down anywhere near America.

- Check. - Check.

You gonna be around for any questions as they come up?

No, man. Christo... he pulled a Roman Polanski on my ass and disappeared.

So I'm gonna link up with SEAL Team Four,

and we're gonna go hunt his ass down in the South Pacific.

So it's straight up Mai Tais and palm trees for me, baby.

Yeah, brother. Go get him.

- You be cool. - Take it easy.

Good luck with that baby, Lieutenant.

- Does everybody know? - Only the important people.

The important people to who? You?

- I guess so. - (LAUGHS)

- I'm gonna go brief the boys. - Hey, hold on one second.

Hey, brother, I've never written one of these before.

Hey, I'm tracking with you, sir. I am.

But, to be honest with you,

I was thinking of calling the command and trying to get you home.

But now that work's picked up so much, I feel like we really need you here.

You remember our last cruise to AI Anbar?

- Yeah. - When you had that final

turnover op, and you said I didn't need to be there?

I was laying in bed and I realized the only thing I needed to do now was go home.

But if something went south on your op,

I would always regret not being there with you.

I appreciate you taking care of me big-time, Dave,

but I'm working some things with the brass.

If I can, and things slow down, I'm gonna get two weeks off.

Well, I hope it works out either way. I really do.

But, if it doesn't, I'm gonna take this piece of paper,

and I'm gonna make it into a nice paper airplane.

Beat it.

We're good, we're good!

Chief of the Watch, submerge the ship to one-six-zero feet.

- Dive. Dive. - (HORN SOUNDS)

Scope down. All doors are green.

- Oh, good. Hey, guys. - Sir.

- Thank you for getting here so fast. - Sure.

- Grab a seat, please. - Thank you.

You'll have Bulldog overhead.

We need you to get in, grab the intel

and bounce it back to us. Do you have any questions?

Sir, I have a question. We have the rally point and time.

What if the meeting doesn't take place as scheduled?

How long do you want us to stay on target?

Now, this one counts, so I'd plan on being out there for a while.

- Check. - Are we good?

- Think so, sir. - Yes, sir.

Ray and Ajay are rigged up and ready to check each other out.

Garage door clear.

- You got a visual? - Yeah.

Got three trucks moving in.

A fuel truck, two jeeps, some skinnies in the back.

One of them has a .50-cal.

- (PLANE ENGINE WHIRRING) - You hear that?

- Yeah, I think that's our plane. - Yeah, we got some inbound.

'Bout time these guys showed up. Jesus. Let me get my camera.

Hey, Ray, we got two birds down at the end of the field,

southeast our pos, no tail IDs.

- You got that? - Check, no tail IDs.

Ray, last time I checked, we were in Africa, right?

Yeah. Why, what's up?

Dude, there's, like, 16 Filipinos down there,

all praying to Mecca right now.

- Filipinos? - Filipinos. Definitely not skinnies.

I'm picking up the praying. I'm also picking up some Russian.

Bulldog, Bulldog, Redrum, radio check, over.

Good check, copy. Roger, good check.

Be advised, we got two sterile aircraft

departing to the east from following location:

Ten, Papa, Lima, Sierra.

Ten, Papa, Lima, Sierra.

Please advise when tally target, over.

Roger. Copy, two aircraft, location Ten, Papa...

Hey, Chief, you are not gonna believe this.

One of the planes Ray and Ajay tagged

just landed on Cedros Island off the coast of Mexico.

It has Shabal on it with an unknown number ofjihadis.

Are you kidding me?

No, looks like we're gonna get to hit that target.

Well, Senior and the SWCC boats are punching out.

They should pull a little more intel for us, so we'll see.

All right.

(MEN SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE OVER RADIO)

I don't know how long we're staying. Hold on, baby.

- Be safe. - You know I will.

- I gotta go, honey. - I love you.

I love you.

- (RATTLING) - (EXPLOSION)

Bravo Alpha, we're 200 meters out.

Bravo, you have a Tango on your starboard side.

Tango on the starboard side.

Whiskey Charlie, we have a visual on Tango.

Bravo, you have a Viper at twelve o'clock.

Get down! Get down!

Clear! Bridge secure.

Senior, you're clear.

- English OK? Let's do that. - English is fine.

Can you cut him loose, please?

If you get cut loose, you're not gonna do anything crazy, are you?

- (CHUCKLES) - A Crazy Ivan? Soto speak.

- (LAUGHS) - So you're Russian, yeah?

- Yes, I am. - You all right?

- Yes, I'm good. Thank you. - You're welcome.

I'm sorry. I don't know your name.

- I'm Otto. - Otto.

- Yes. And you are? - Nice to meet you.

Christo.

- Crisco? - Christo.

Troskawicz?

So how long am I gonna need to keep busting your balls

about getting one of those patches?

Ah, yeah, I think it was, like, a one-time deal, man.

After 9/11, my uncle sent a bunch out for the platoon,

but, uh, after this go-round, I'll give it to you.

No, no, I'm not gonna take your family crest.

All right, good. I didn't want to give it to you anyway.

Besides, man, I'm pretty sure I saw you

putting something in your cargo pocket the other day.

- What's that? - I know I've seen you carrying

something in that pocket right there.

What is it?

That's my grandfather's flag.

- Nice. - My pop gave it to me,

and now I'm gonna give it to my boy someday.

All right. I like that.

You're sitting on a wonderful boat.

- It's fabulous. - Thank you. Yes.

- I believe it's called Starship. - "Starship."

I love the way you say Starship.

It's like Russian. That guy, uh... Star Trek.
