In Al Madinah Region, Saudi Arabia a black SUV demands a herder to move his goats off the road. The farmer asks for water, saying his son is sick when the man shoves him to the ground, he places a device on his back wheel well and smirks as they drive off.
Clay Spenser (Max Thieriot) sits in disbelief as they talk about notifying Brian’s (Jay Hayden) next of kin and his memorial service. The SEAL team talks about the irony of him doing two tours in Iraq, only to die because of a faulty parachute. Ray (Neil Brown Jr.) asks Jason (David Boreanaz) if he talked to Spenser because apparently, he was really tight with Brian; but Jason says that is part of his education and he cannot fall apart every time something happens to him. Jason locks eyes with Clay as he leaves the room and they nod to each other as if they understand each other’s loss. Adam (Michael Irby) informs Clay that he is flying out to inform Brian’s next of kin as he is the one on his forms, telling him to pack an overnight bag.
Lt. Commander Eric Blackburn (Judd Lormand) informs the team that Capt. Thomas Garcia (Gonzalo Menendez) is going to share with them the info on the op he has been building. He shows them a fortress that was built and doesn’t think it was built in Yemen either. The next photo is of Abu Hassan, revealing they managed to place a tracking vehicle on one of his courier’s vehicles.
Mandy Ellis (Jessica Pare) begins to explain their mission when Jason raises concerns that they are going to invade Saudi Arabia, that provides more than half of their oil? He is the biggest fish they have gone after since Bin Laden and now they believe they know where he is but they have to demonstrate a plan that won’t cause a geo catastrophe. The replica has built it and they learn that Sr. Chief Beau Fuller (Sharif Atkins) has been the one designing their assault plan. Jason is furious they weren’t included in the plan as Fuller mocks them, questioning if they can keep up. Bottom line is the importance of getting this right and they are ordered to get their game faces on.
Blackburn shows the plan through the replica, and how they will go in and how they will infiltrate the building and take their target who should be in the center of the fortress. Fuller says they estimate the response time by the police is 14 minutes but he is told he cannot engage with the Saudis under any circumstances. He says he is aware and are comfortable with that margin; again they are warned to not do any damage or injury to local forces. Fuller confronts Jason, accusing him of wanting to be chief and is showing him up In front of the command.
At the airport, Clay asks for advice but Adam says there is nothing to prepare you for how a parent is going to react and the only thing you can do, is going in and make the best of it. Clay shares with him what Brian told him about his parents and family, they have the address for his mom and are on their way. Clay nervously asks Adam if he wants to do all the talking.
Fuller rounds everyone up outside, as they do a “live” replica of the breach they will do at the fortress in Saudi Arabia. Jason keeps objecting to his idea, saying he shouldn’t split up the teams. He again questions about all the non-combatants will be on the other side of the door too. Someone suggests giving the kids candy to get them away from the danger, but Fuller says they need to use explosives as Jason says they can cut the door down without killing innocents. He is given a chance to show them.
Clay arrives at the address for Brian’s mom, it is a bar named Lucy, so that isn’t his mother’s name. A waitress says her name is Denise but isn’t sure if she is who they are looking for. They say it is about Brian Armstrong; Clay says Brian was a friend as she reveals his mom used the diner for free babysitting. They learn his mother passed away when he was 8 or 9 and he went to live with his dad; she offers them some coffee. Clay is confused, saying Brian talked to his mom every week as he looks at the wall of all the military men and women.
Blackburn says the most time-consuming part is breaching the doors and if they cannot complete this in 14 minutes, they will reset and begin again. They blow the first door, and Jason’s team gets angry because Fuller’s team now just made the door a two-ton obstacle as the charge wasn’t big enough. Fuller demands to stick by the book as improvise causes hurt but Jason disagrees, telling him to think outside the book. Blackburn asks if he needs to get into the middle of this; reminding them they are not the green team and this isn’t their business, but the people upstairs are losing their patience; he orders them to let it go what is going on between them.
Clay and Adam arrive at an abandoned house and are greeted by a woman who claims she had a gun on them. She admits to knowing some of the people who lived there, Clay says he is looking like Samuel Armstrong. She says Sam was an SOB but the boy was a good egg; she continues by saying she hopes the Navy can save him from turning into his old man. Clay asks if she knows where Samuel went; the last she heard he went to a state penitentiary and Brian went to a state home.
The team attempt again to breach the fortress to show they can get in and out within 14 minutes, so they won’t have to get involved with Saudi Arabian authorities. Blackburn says they need to be quicker, as they run out of time before they reach their target. They are forced to do it over and over again until they are under 14 minutes. Davis (Toni Trucks) says they will get it, as they repeatedly run out of time.
They come out and are told the operative is off, but Jason says there isn’t going to be plywood on the actual target that would cause a fire like that and the bottom line is Brass feels the op is too risky and don’t want to commit. Fuller confronts Jason, asking him if he is happy now. Fuller says Jason’s attitude is jacked up while Jason feels it is Fuller’s ego. They argue as Fuller let’s loose on him, exactly how he feels that Jason always believes he is better than everyone else until someone gets hurt or killed because he couldn’t stick to a script. Jason attacks him but his team pulls him away.
Ray talks to Jason, asking if he ever considered the color of his skin. Ray can’t stand Beau either but asks Jason if he has ever considered how Beau sees things; talking about being the only black guy in training and how he was always called out for doing the same thing as white comrades. He feels Jason should take into account, that for him and Beau, being great is not good enough; if Jason goes outside the box he is innovative but if they do it, they cannot follow the rules. Ray thinks Jason should talk to someone because Nate’s (Daniel Gillies) death is eating away at him.
Jason goes to meet Pete Garrett (Chris McKenna) for a drink. He apologizes about Nate but had to stay behind and finish a contract. Jason passes him the passport with Teresi’s photo, wanting to know about her. He says she was their interpreter’s wife and after he was picked up by the Taliban, they thought she was next. Jason learns he helped her escape and he did it because he owed Nate. Jason asks him why he did it because it could ha destroyed Molly and Nate’s pension. Suddenly, Jason gets an idea from a sweaty bar patron and they regather at the Seal team base.
Ellis explains what he discovered, explaining how they can drop through the air ducts and avoid blasting through any doors, arriving without alerting anyone. Jason says once they secure package, Fuller and his team can extract him. He says it won’t be easy but it is possible and they can give it a shot.
Clay and Adam come to see the state home Brian went to. They are given a tour of the home, where Clay has a hard time looking around at what Brian’s life might have been like. He looks at the books that were left behind and finds one of his father’s books.
On the drive back to the airport, Adam reveals Brian’s dad is dead, taking a knife to his chest coming out of a strip club mere weeks after coming out of the pen. Adam marvels how Brian survived that and it was a shame he didn’t live long enough to know the team is the only family they need. Clay scoffs as Adam asks him about his own childhood, and living with his grandparents. Clay gets emotional saying he wanted to be as far away from his dad as possible and Adam says he doesn’t know it yet but the team will be the family he needs.
Fuller apologizes, saying what happened with Nate was war, it doesn’t mean he likes him though. The teams announce they are ready and begin to scoot through the ducts. Jason and Fuller work together and are able to finish it just in 12 minutes.
Clay and Adam return to the diner, asking Denise if she will sit with them. Clay says it is his duty to inform her that Brian Armstrong died two days ago, they cannot disclose the nature of his death but he had no kin; she feels awful but Clay says he had a lot of people who went out of their way to make sure he had people around him and she was one of them and should be proud of that.
Blackburn informs Fuller and Jason that the operation is canceled but they don’t know why. According to Mandy, Hassan wasn’t there in the first place, he thanks them for their hard work and tells them to enjoy their weekend and see them on Monday. The teams decide to go for breakfast together as Jason goes to see Teresi, who knows who he is.
She gives him tea and shows him how she drinks her tea. She apologizes, as does he. She wants to know if he wants to talk about Nate, he sits back and they talk.
THE END!
