Act of Valor Page #4

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.

- 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 Al 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.

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.

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, sixteen 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.

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 of jihadis.

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.

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.

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?

- English is fine.

Let's do that.

Can you cut him loose, please?

If you get cut loose, you're not

gonna do anything crazy, are you?

A Crazy Ivan? So to speak.

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.

What's his name, Scotty?

Oh, no, he was, sorry, Scott.

- I wouldn't know.

- Yes. You've never seen Star Trek?

- No.

- Oh, that's insane.

- So here's the problem, pal.

- Mm-hm?

You're worth a lot of money.

- Or you were worth a lot of money.

- I believe I still am.

- You do?

- Yes.

All right. Let me tell you

how the world works there, Crisco.

- It's Christo.

- Sorry?

- Christo.

- Oh, of course. Sorry.

It's OK.

Let me tell you

how the world really works.

- Please.

- This is no longer your boat.

Since I walked through that door,

you're not the same guy you used to be.

You're just not.

There's nothing I can do to stop that,

nothing I can do to help you right now,

unless you let me help you.

We need to do this together, pal.

You and me.

So how is it that you're working

with these jihadi folks, then?

You're Jewish, right?

Shabal is what?

You got a friend,

like, you grew up with?
