("Electric" by Bass Drum of Death playing)

Are you living?

Yes.

- _ - Have you ever dated Taylor Swift?

- _ - Uh, yes.

Though that doesn't narrow it down very much.

Okay...

Come on. Help me out here, Madani.

He's Jake Gyllenhaal, sir.

Hey, he meant help with a question.

You hate fun, huh?

And we just hit checkpoint seven.

- _ - That's two minutes to the LZ.

Jimbo, let the customers know.

- _ - Two minutes.

Touchdown in two, gentlemen.

- Two minutes. - MAN (OVER RADIO): Darkhorse...

Command's barking in my ear.

- You have the controls. I have the controls.

Anchor Two, this is Darkhorse.

We are two minutes out from the LZ.

Everything looks clear.

MAN (OVER RADIO): Copy that. Out.

Hey, pilot. You're the first Special Ops chick

I ever met, so I got to ask.

How do you control yourself around so many hot, sweaty men?

Only hard part's the smell, sir.

- Visual on the LZ. - I have the control.

You have the controls.

Go, go, go, go, go!

RICHARD (OVER RADIO): Okay, gentlemen. Let's move.

They've gone silent.

They went internal comms. Shut us out.

Yeah, they can do what they want.

We're just the taxi drivers. Right, Jimmy?

That's what Jess tells the kid when he asks what I do.

He just had a birthday, right?

Yep, seven years old.

Big fan of 20 Questions, by the way.

I'll tell him to steer clear of you.

They have the package.

Technical, 11 o'clock!

I don't have a shot!

Keep moving, keep moving!

Man down!

You fly. I'm on radio.

This is Darkhorse, we're in a TIC.

One technical, six tangos, wounded CAG.

Go!

Go, go, go, go!

Up with four and one!

Up with four and one.

Madani's been hit!

I have the controls.

We got an RPG.

RPG at four o'clock!

What? Everyone brace!

Hey, Lieutenant Porter.

You're up early.

Yeah, I've got a briefing at 0630.

Got to swing by my place first.

My other boyfriend always stays for breakfast.

Well, my other girlfriend always makes me breakfast, so...

Oh, is that right?

- Oh, that's right, yeah. - Mm-hmm.

- Mm-hmm. - (CHUCKLES)

Sorry.

First day back, huh?

You okay?

I'm good.

You know, you and Gallo, you did everything you could.

You followed procedure, you tried to find the others.

Babe.

I said I'm good.

Okay?

I will see you at formation.

Huh?

ANNA (MOANING): Yes. Say it.

Hooah! - Say it again!

Hooah!

Oh, dang.

I got PT in 15.

Hey, uncuff me.

- Come on. - Uh-uh.

Come on. Seriously.

- Got to go. - All right!

You've been drinking all night, cowboy.

Anyone can run eight miles sober.

Real test is doing it drunk.

- (SNIFFLES) - (GRUNTS)

Can you, uh, lock the door when you go?

Hooah.

Oh...

Maybe you could try singing something else today, huh?

Or you could sing it with me like Dad does.

Let's go.

When does Dad get back from his trip?

Soon, sweetie. Soon.

One, two, three... One!

- One, two, three... - Two!

- One, two, three... - Three!

- One, two, three... - Four!

Platoon, halt.

Carry on.

Platoon, exercise.

- One, two, three... - One!

- One, two, three... - Two!

Morning, Corporal.

Last time I saw you, we both looked a lot worse.

That...

Shadow Raiders!

Attention!

Shadow Raiders company formed, sir.

Today we welcome back to duty

Captain Leland Gallo

and Warrant Officer Nora Madani.

I have the honor of presenting you both

with the Distinguished Flying Cross

for valor and perseverance

in the face of extreme odds.

Congratulations, Captain Gallo, great job.

Of course, sir.

After your aircraft was damaged by enemy fire,

you safely evac'd your team

before performing a high-risk ditch maneuver.

- Congratulations there, Nora. - When you were then unable

to contact the others,

you deployed your wilderness survival training

until rescue was possible.

How's that leg doing?

- Good, sir. Thank you. - Well done, soldiers.

Your actions are not only

a testament to this unit,

but the entire Special Ops community.

Hooah!

Now, let's take a moment to honor those

who remain unaccounted for.

Sergeants Hendrix, Balewa and Dallas

of the Delta Force Combat Applications Group,

OGA Operator Richard

and our very own Sergeant Jimmy Kam.

Our thoughts and prayers are with them.

Sergeant Major,

dismiss the company.

Shadow Raiders, dismissed!

Hooah!

: Send those two to my office.

Sir, I've been trying to reach you.

It's better you didn't.

As long as nothing's changed.

No, nothing's changed.

We got other things to think about, all right?

They're, uh, plugging us into a training exercise this week.

N.O.E. course, below tree line.

Get stoked.

Sir.

That decision we made was a mistake.

Ever since, it's all I can think about.

Captain Gallo, Chief Madani,

the colonel would like to see you in his office.

Oh, and you're not in Somalia anymore.

Better shave that beard soon.

Great.

Captain Gallo.

Ms. Madani, reporting as requested.

At ease.

All right, look.

I'll get right to it. Madani,

you're being placed on administrative duty.

Gallo, you'll fly with someone else for the time being.

I don't understand. You just gave me a medal.

I know.

But you've been through a lot.

A downed bird, then six days stuck in those mountains?

I think a break from flying is warranted.

We both went through all that.

Captain Gallo has much more experience

with combat stress.

With all due respect,

she's squared away, sir.

Did I not pass my psych eval?
