Intercept coordinates

1-1-5-2-2-6-1-0.

- Coordinates check.

- Lieutenant, this could be the break

I've been waiting

for an entire month.

See those guys on top of the roof?

That's mahmoud's parents.

They could be coming

up there to contact him.

- By cellphone?

- Sat phone... better reception on the roof,

but we have directional

imsi capability,

so we can just pick up

their communications.

What you need to do

is call base operations,

tell them we need a translator

for a high priority intercept.

Roger that.

( CLEARS THROA WHAT'S TAKING YOU

SO LONG, LIEUTENANT?

It...

it doesn't exactly look like

they're making a phone call.

Al qaeda always makes

phone calls in the nude.

I'm surprised

you didn't know that.

They think it interferes with

our intercept capabilities.

I mean, it doesn't, so...

please inform command

immediately.

What?

F*** you, airman.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

I had to do it.

Give me the f***ing

new-guy treatment?

- Nice job.

- Thank you.

No, they have a standing date.

They go up there every

morning and do the nasty.

Oh f***, it's buffering.

Stop buffering.

Just stop buffering.

Oh God.

Good. Thank God.

- I'm getting some more coffee.

- Not right now, ma'am.

We've got to watch this.

- You want anything?

- Cream, two sugars,

maybe a skosh of nutmeg.

I'd be happy

to dump it on your head.

This is part

of our mission, ma'am.

Any activity in

and/or around the hut,

we are required to take note.

Oh, go, Ali.

Is zooming in part

of our mission, too?

Don't worry, lieutenant.

He's almost done.

Two, one,

blastoff.

You think she came too?

I think she faked it.

Ha! You're funny.

I didn't expect that.

I can't believe we can see

this much from five Miles up.

He does not care about

those low-hanging fruits.

He loves her

just the way she is.

Okay, airman, that's enough.

If you need to go behind the trailer

and beat off, don't let me stop you.

Yeah. I need

better visuals for that.

Yeah, stick around, maybe you'll get some.

Stepping out.

You know, you couldn't

do that in an f-22.

Yeah,

but the air conditioning would work.

Just a sec.

Pbbbb.

All yours, ma'am.

Congrats on getting hasan.

Thanks. It's kind of hard

to miss 'em on the open road,

but I did splatter his ass

halfway across the desert.

- So what'd I miss?

- Oh, you know,

some more hot arab smooching.

I was thinking we should

put this on YouTube.

You know, a middle-aged guy actually

enjoys making sweet love to his ugly wife.

Hey, he's not exactly

Allah's gift to women.

I mean, chicks don't

really care about looks.

- Sure about that?

- Not like guys.

I mean, my dad left

my mom when I was three,

and I tracked him down

about a year ago.

So I asked him,

"why'd you do it?

Why'd you leave my mom?"

And he looks at me,

"'cause she's

a f***ing porker."

Now, I love my mom...

don't get me wrong...

but what could I say to that?

My mom makes lady Abdul over

here look like Cleopatra.

I bet your mom's not fat.

Some movement here.

Oh, look at that!

Caught in the act.

Look at 'em pulling up the blanket.

Do you think the kids actually

know what's going on?

What are they doing?

Did you ever see

your parents going at it?

I saw my mom

with a couple of guys.

She would forget to shut

the door when I was a kid,

which was f***ing gross.

Shut the door.

Holy f***. I know

what that banner is.

You know how to read

arabic, pashtun or whatever?

I don't have to.

Who are those kids?

Those are their grandkids,

I think. Yeah.

Yeah, that's mahmoud's children.

Whenever my dad was

coming back from somewhere,

David and I would make a banner

like that to welcome him home.

Lieutenant,

you're f***ing awesome.

Base operations,

this is reaper 13,

- airman bowles.

- Airman bowles, this is command.

I'm transmitting

an image to you right now.

It has words on it.

It's probably in the pashtun language.

We need a translation asap.

All I'm seeing is

a kid's drawing on a sheet.

Yeah, but it may be evidence that our

h.V.T. Is en route to the location.

Copy that, airman.

I'll pass it on to our translator.

No, the last time you did that,

it took 10 hours.

Well, as you know, we have a

shortage of language proficient...

ma'am, I have lieutenant

sue Lawson here with me.

She's convinced

this is t-1.

You may have heard

of the lieutenant.

Her father is general Lawson.

You have

lieutenant Lawson there?

- Yes, ma'am.

- What do I care about that washout?

I hope she's been working

on her left jab.

- Major Garcia?

- Airman bowles,

the lieutenant was my student

at the air force academy.

I used to kick her butt

all over the boxing ring.

That's not how I remember it.

So you call it off, or what?

Can we get somebody

working on the intel?

Copy that.

I'll put it in as a t-1.

- You should hear back right away.

- Thank you, ma'am. Out.

Out.

So you used to box

with a detached retina?

How do you think

it got detached?

- And you kept boxing?

- Partially detached.

And fixed.

My God, you are macho.

I just decided...

I'm gonna ride your coattails to glory.

You cool with that?

- Front door's opening.

- If you're right about this banner,

I'm buying drinks tonight.

Okay, so that woman is...?

That's their mother.

That's mahmoud's wife.

Oh.

I used to write

the words and David...

Would draw the pictures?

Your little brother?

Reaper 13,

this is major Garcia.

I got that banner

translated for you.

Thank you, ma'am.

That was fast.

It's highly sensitive intel...

eyes only.

The banner says

"Happy Birthday, daddy."

I'm buying drinks.

- What is this about?

- We believe

that mahmoud kahlil will be arriving

shortly for his birthday party.

Un-f***ing-believable.

Major, I need you

to contact colonel Wallace

and ask for an immediate

nine-line authorization

so we can prosecute

our h.V.T.

Copy that,

including the immediate part.

What's your fuel situation?

When's bingo?

Uh, bingo time is

one hour, eight minutes.

Copy. We'll get another

aircraft in position

in case kahlil

hasn't arrived by then.

Expect a positive handover

with reaper 9

- at bingo time.

- Copy.

Who else is currently

at the location?

Umm...

Umm, there's...

There's several unidentified

terrorist suspects.

Copy that.

Nice work, guys. Out.

Out.

The f*** was that?

The f*** was what?

"Several unidentified

terrorist suspects"?

- No.

- Jesus, Jack. They're civilians.

They're f***ing kids.

Yeah. It's just the way

it's done around here, ma'am.

I mean, 'cause this guy's

an h.V.T., he's an a**hole.

Then why don't we get him

on the road driving in?

That way we'll have

zero civilian casualties.

Okay. Roger that.

All right, bring the m.T.S. Up,

north-northeast.

I want to see the top

of that dirt road, please.

Adjusting camera

north-northeast.

Set.

Before we drop iron,

we need a final direct

authorization from command

and we need a positive

visual I.D. Of the target.

Okay.

He's coming any minute.
