You're back in the bird's nest.

- What are we putting up there, Carson?

- We're doing things...

...this country was built to do

before 2O layers of government...

...slowed us down...

- Okay.

...and let China kick our keisters

all over the Pacific.

We are taking command personally.

Yes, I was angry with you about Kabul.

I knew what was going on,

about the skimming.

I never thought twice about it.

But that money you pocketed

from the Afghanis, that was different.

You destroyed yourself

for 100 lousy K.

You thought I never knew.

I always knew.

- Carson--

- So you're back in the game.

Now, if you can stay on track,

you'll find a way to get this done...

...down and dirty,

smooth like Indian silk.

And this crazy little Mayberry base...

...will be the center

of a whole new operation.

TNO, Gilcrest. Tell no one.

Aah, you're back.

Captain Ng, this is Carson Welch.

Captain Ng.

Your reputation as a dancer

precedes you.

- All right.

- All right.

One, two, three, two.

One, two, three, two.

One, two, three, two.

One, two, three, two.

Easy, ready, willing

Overtime A'

Where does it stop

Where do you dare me to draw the line I

Happy New Year, Carson.

There you go.

Cheers. Cheers.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

I'll do anything

That you want me to

Yeah, I

I'll do almost anything

That you want me to X

Yeah, but I can't go for that

No a'

Can't go for that a

I can go for being twice as nice I

I can go for

Just repeating the same old lies I'

Use the body

Now you want my soul a'

God bless America!

Ooh, forget about it

Now say no go X

Well, I'

That you want me to, yeah a'

Do almost anything

That you want me to X

Yeah, but I can't go for that

No, no a'

No can do

I can't go for that a'

No, no

No can do I

No, no, no, no

No, no, no h'

Bless you.

Thank you.

What you doing?

E- mails, uh, trying to bail

my brother out online, parking tickets.

Are you dressed?

No, I'm not.

Heh. Yes, you are.

Hey, about tonight, sir...

Yes, captain?

- ...I had fun.

- Fun is good.

And some shots.

- Are you kidding?

- Hm-mm.

I danced With the devil and I liked it.

Well, captain,

I will tell you this for sure...

...in any of its many forms,

I have found that nothing beats fun.

Maybe Purpose.

Do you wanna come over?

Mm.

- That's peppermint tea.

- Mm-hm.

Ugh. Oh.

Thank you.

Hey. Have you seen the latest spec

of all the birds we have up in the sky?

- Uh, no.

- Can you imagine all of this...

...with weapons?

What?

Oh, that's my dog. Hold on.

That's my mom and dad.

This, with weapons.

All those dots are satellites.

It's like a celestial traffic jam.

I mean, if we can't look up and see

purity or promise, we are finished.

That's why we have a space treaty.

- Ahem.

- Mm.

What are all those stickers

on your unit?

Well, there's one

for each adventure, captain.

Do any of those adventures

wear dresses?

Heh. Some. Some are for missions

and some are for cities.

What's the yellow one?

That's...

...the Helena Project.

I love the Helena Project. I mean,

I knew that you studied black holes...

...and Geodymetric physics, but I didn't

know you pioneered sound transducing.

I was sound transducing

when you're still in a ballerina costume.

The use of sound in space.

Why is that so exciting to me?

- Yeah, good times.

- Hmm...

I've never been shot.

You've never been shot?

- That's a good thing.

- Prepare me.

- What's it like?

- Hmm...

Well, captain, I feel that question

in about 18 different parts of my body.

Me too.

They say that you can tell

most of the time by the sound.

A well-aimed shot from a weapon

sounds like nothing else. It's like...

Home-run ball coming off the bat.

Boy, did I mess up in Kabul.

I was surrounded

by all this brutal ugliness.

Philanderers.

Nothing black and white.

Soul-crushing mercenaries.

And I was one of them.

I saw that missile coming for me,

and I didn't get out of the way.

I didn't care.

You lost your Iridium flares.

Tonight...

It's kind of the first night

I'm truly happy I lived.

Gilcrest.

Pow.

- Really?

- I'm a major select, sir.

I'm at a crossroads

where I can't mess up.

And I don't wanna wind up

a decal on your laptop.

Because I couldn't breathe.

All flattened out there

with everybody else, so it's--

What a moment

Encountering the dawn a'

Breathing in the air

I've never known I

Wanna see something

you've never seen before?

I left my sunglasses at the Kingdom.

Oh, that's a tough asset to lose.

- Can't stop looking at it, can you?

- Mm-mm.

It's mesmerizing.

- Mm-hm.

- Just try to look away.

I can't.

- It's impossible.

- Mm-hm.

It was the Sudan.

It was me and two guys.

We stepped on a PBD mine.

There was a horrible doctor...

...and he sewed one of the guy's toes

onto my foot.

- What?

- Yes.

- That's another guy's toe? Oh, my God.

- Mm-hm.

Yeah, if you look closely...

...you'll see the entire

Middle Eastern conflict on my leg.

Like we're in the room

with another person.

We are.

I believe everything you say.

Well, you shouldn't.

I'm a contractor, nothing more.

Here I am complaining

about my sunglasses.

And here I am complaining

about nothing.

Please be strong

I know I'm not wrong I

Here comes the nighttime

Lookin' for a little more I

Whoo!

Come on, let's move!

Yo! Morning.

Whoo!

I know I'm not wrong

Hey, Hula. Happy Saturday.

- Hey.

- Are your parents home?

Wanted to thank them

for the other night.

They're not home.

I am stuck babysitting the baby.

- Shut up.

- Hey, baby.

I'm kidding. Can I leave a note?

- Of course. Come in.

- Okay.

What are you watching?

Some footage that I shot.

- You shot this?

- Mm-hm.

Wow.

Holy mackerel.

What do you think it is?

Look at the size of that thing.

It seems very sophisticated.

This is a big covert operation.

I bet the whole Pacific is in play.

When did you shoot this?

Middle of the night.

Two nights ago.

Butt-kick, stick it to the back. Nice.

I called you because I think

I have to tender my resignation.

- Is "tender" the right word for that?

- Come on. It's Saturday. Don't do this.

I'm sorry to disturb your Saturday.

I got Troy and Melissa here.

I got a girlfriend's kid, Don.

Have you met a baby named Don?

No, sir. Hi, Don.

Come on. This feels more

like a Monday kind of thing.

- Tell me everything you know.

- I don't know what's going on up there.

It's not an Air Force launch. They let me

know what they want me to know.

Private money's running the whole thing.

We work for them.

This is the new military, captain.

Kesha could launch a satellite.

She doesn't have to tell us

what's on it either. No treaty for that.

This one looks like a dual-purpose

launch vehicle that will amp up...

...a worldwide rush

to fill the skies with weapons.

I didn't get the memo on that.

We don't know what's on this launch.

If that's true, we're in worse trouble

than I thought.

Don't resign, all right? You'd have

better luck talking to privateers.
