MAN: Before my father died, he said the worst thing about growing old
was that other men stopped seeing you as dangerous.
I've always remembered that, how being dangerous was sacred, a badge of honor.
You live your life by a code, an ethos.
Every man does. It's your shoreline. It's what guides you home.
And, trust me, you're always trying to get home.

Yeah, and he gives back a lot to this community over here
with medical clinics, schools, political donations,
you name it, so this is the deal:
They are extremely loyal to him over here.
When did the DEA hand him over to us?
When they intercepted a 707 of his filled with Soviet weapons.
Listen, Langley says that the boys over at NSA,
they found some interesting intercepts connecting Christo
to a jihadist network out of Southeast Asia.
Apparently, Christo and one of the guys running the network,
they're childhood friends.

DA VE: Our platoon was headed downrange.
We had Weimy, our sniper.
He grew up in the middle of the Mojave Desert.
Most excitement he found as a kid was bowling frozen turkeys
down the aisle at the grocery store.
Ray, our comms guy, our radioman,
he grew up in East LA gangland.
He had a Silver Star for pulling a wounded teammate out of the fray.
Sonny, he was made of granite.
This guy didn't even do push-ups
'cause he was afraid his chest was gonna get too big.
Ajay joined the Teams late in his 30s.
He'd been a Muay Thai fighter early in life.
Before that, he grew up dirt-poor in Trinidad.
Mikey had 20 years in the Teams.
But as humble as he was, you'd never even know it.
He kept a picture of his wife in his helmet and a lock of her hair in his pocket.
Quiet as the breeze.
And finally, Senior Chief.
I couldn't really tell you much about him...

than have to be interrogated by him.

Hey, Senior, you mind giving us a couple minutes, man?
- Nah, you got 'em, Jefe. - Thanks.
Hey, fellas, you know I only got so many speeches
in a given work-up or deployment, but, uh...
...it's like Chief and I said right at the beginning of this platoon:
Once we step off on campaign, once this bird's ready and we're downrange,
everything back home needs to be in balance.
We're not gonna be worth a damn to each other or ourselves
if we get over there and something's out of whack.
I mean, if things aren't right with the family,
things aren't right with the finances or something's off}
it's gonna put us all out of balance, so we need to have that tight before we launch.
If somebody's got an issue, bring it up.
Chief can take care of it, I can take care of it. E verybody's got each other's back.
Let's make sure we lock that down so when we're ready to roll,
all our focus is on the mission.
DA VE: For all those who have been downrange,
to us and those like us, damn few.
- Cheers. - Hear, hear.
I still like the name James.
I'll think about it, if it's a boy.
Come here.
- I'm proud of you. - Thanks, baby.
Hey, little one, you make sure you keep Mama away from Aunt Carol.
I don't like that chain-smoking at all.
I got it, Lieutenant.
- OK. - It's gonna be OK.
- All right. - It's gonna be fine.
Try to keep this as long as you can for a while, yeah?
Anything else, Commander?
Yeah. I'd like to be able to look into your eyes when our first child is born.
You know I'll do my best.
I love you, baby.

- Hey, fellas, what's up? - Hey.
It's hotter than two rats screwing in a wool sock out there, yeah?
Africa-hot... Tarzan couldn't take this heat.
Anyway, here's the deal. Time to get your frogman on.
Lights. Three days ago,
two CIA agents, a Walter Ross and a Miss Lisa Morales,
were ambushed inside their hotel room here in Costa Rica
by a unknown amount of heavily armed assholes.
Unfortunately, Mr. Ross was murdered, and Miss Morales has been abducted.
We believe that this has been the work
of a guy named Mikhail Troykavitch, aka Christo.
LT's going to give you the skinny on him.
Thanks, Senior. Mikhail Troykavitch, aka Christo.
This guy is believed to have been working cocaine-for-weapons deals
between the Russian mafia, the FARO guerrillas, and the Mexican drug cartels
ever since the late 1990s.
Now, before she was captured, Morales was working a possible link
between our boy Christo and this guy Abu Shabal.
Glory to Allah, Lord of the worlds,
who has created us as Muslims
and delivered us with the jihad on his direct path.
Peace be upon those who follow his direct path till the Day of Judgment.
Let me explain this to you Americans.
We are not separatists.
We Chechens are not a legal part of anyone,
but you Americans are willingly or unwillingly assisting
in the genocide of our people by demanding that we obey certain rules,
and by your continued occupation of all Muslim countries.
With the grace of Allah, glorious and exalted is he,
America will never be safe until safety becomes a reality for us.
Allahu Akbar.
LT: Abu Shabal is a Chechen terrorist
who's associated with the Beslan School Massacre.
He's been jumping between training camps in Indonesia and the Philippines.
Now, the connection between Christo and Abu Shabal is still a little bit fuzzy,
but if this was the lead that Morales was working on,
it could be why she was abducted. Senior?
All right, this is a personnel recovery of Miss Morales.
All right, who's got questions?
Senior Chief, you got any updated source intel
on numbers inside the camp, and what about roving patrols?
Maybe eight to ten, bro, but we don't know anything about roving patrols.
You're just gonna have to assume that they're out there
walking around, squared away. They do this for a living, too.
Senior, what kind of weapons-on-target are we looking at?
Heavy weapons. These guys are narco-traffickers,
so they can have anything from Soviet-bloc DShKs.
They could have M2HP, .50-cals out there, we don't know.
So if there is a weapons' emplacement up there, I suggest you guys bring rockets.
Of course, rockets and foliage don't match, so make sure you got a clear shot.
All right, what else?
Any idea whether she's ambulatory or not?
There was a ton of blood on the scene,
and a lot of it was Mr. Ross', we confirmed that.
Miss Morales may have bled there, too, but these guys are savages,
so you're gonna have to assume that she is non-ambulatory,
so you're gonna have to bring stuff to carry her out.
MAN OVER PA: Two minutes to drop.
Hey, LT.
You got to let us know who that guy is, so when we get back, we can kick his ass.
What guy?
The guy that gave you that fucked-up haircut.
- Fuck. - AJAY: Damn, Sonny,
you should be the last guy to talk. You look like the Dominican Mr. Clean.
SONNY: That means my head shines like your gold teeth, huh?
- (LAUGHTER) - Don't be like that,
- that's harsh. - Ramp!
