Seal Team 6: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden Page #2

---

I'm afraid not.

peaceful neighborhood.

- Very quite safe.

- Mmm.

- And very quiet.

- Quiet is good.

Come on, let me see the view.

That place.

Looks like it's got

some serious security.

That house was built few years ago

by a wealthy Pashtun businessman.

Strict Purdah family.

Very quiet.

They don't bother anyone.

OK, that works.

A little to the right.

Little to the right.

Right. Yeah?

- Good, lock it.

- Yeah.

Perfect.

- Is it OK?

- Little left.

- Left.

- Left?

Yeah.

How is the view?

- Good?

- It's good.

The first one is this.

Is it OK?

one more minute of your time.

I really think it would be

in our best interest

to focus on what

we were talking about.

Now you're going to tell me

what's in my best interest?

- Things got heated in there.

- You got a lot of passion.

We're on the same team, but

time is not a luxury we have.

And that hour you just

took back there at the end

is an hour that

I'll never get back.

Decisions like this are never

as simple as they seem.

Hunches and educated guesses

will never take the place of

real actionable intelligence.

with catching him

started on 9-11.

The idea of him just kind of...

...got deeper in my head.

I don't know, I guess,

gradually you could say he...

...took over my life.

I understand our current culture

is risk-averse,

but I think if you just

look at the field data,

I'm sure you'd agree there's

more to support this hypothesis

than any unsubstantiated cave theories.

- Christian thinks he's dead.

- He's not dead.

Come on, keep it coming.

Spit it out.

There's a good possibility

that by the time

we've gathered enough data

to validate a static final say,

someone will leak,

he will be long gone,

and it'll be Tora Bora all over again.

I believe that if there's

even the slightest possibility

of his being in there,

then we should...

We should what?

Bomb the f*** out of it. Sir.

You do understand that

people will want proof?

They'll want to see the body.

And a DNA match,

or conspiracy theories will abound.

And if we drop a bomb

on our ostensible allies

in the war on terror,

we run the risk

of nuclear retaliation on someone,

probably India or Israel.

We also run the risk of destroying

any and all evidence of his

ever having been there.

Let's reconvene at 06:00.

We're gonna need a back-up plan.

Maybe two.

lost her father,

and her brother in the South Tower.

It was awful.

And then we go into Afghanistan

and we have Osama

holed up in Tora Bora,

and we let him go.

We had him and we let him go.

- I didn't want to be

part of the team that

let him get away again.

Twin car bombs exploded

outside the US embassies

in Nairobi and...

at the USS Cole in Yemen,

claiming the lives of 17 US soldiers...

Biggest attack ever on US soil.

bin Laden is behind the attack.

as a bomb rips through a resort in Bali.

bombs ripped through

commuter trains and railway platforms.

of hundreds of emergency vehicles...

is the group being credited

for terrorism in the city

of London today.

So, I...

...finally got to buy my mom a house

up the road from mine.

Wasn't much to look at, but...

...that was the best

damn day of my life.

When she walked

through that door,

and just that smile.

Yeah. And, uh...

So, you know, when we

come home from deployment,

most of the men, they got wife,

kids to go to,

and me, I just, I keep it simple.

You know, it's my mom, my bike.

A few girls every now and then.

But, you know...

Even though we go

away from each other

for a few days, it's...

...we're still a team, you know.

And issues that we had

out on the field,

they're still there.

what else can I get ya?

I'll have another one of these.

- All right.

- Mmm.

Chocolate moon cake.

Yeah.

You got it.

- Any y'all wanna share?

- No, thanks.

I'm not a big chocolate guy.

Oh, no, no. Correction.

A big chocolate guy

is exactly what you are.

me and Trench were at this bar, right?

And this pack of Frog Hogs

comes marching in,

- you remember that?

- Yeah.

And I just kept thinking

to myself, "Damn."

I feel sorry for the poor guy

who's gotta pick a wife

out of that bunch of buns.

Have to drink two six-packs

and put a gun to my head

just to go home at night.

Then I think,

"Man, if I was Mule

I'd be ready to kill myself."

Well, you ain't me.

So leave me out of this sh*t.

- Sorry, man.

How is little Jaclynn?

What is she, four or five now?

My kid has nothing to do

with this conversation.

OK, we'll switch it to Stunner.

Stunner.

How is married life treating you, huh?

What are you asking?

Just, you know, how is everything

on the home front?

It's all good?

Why would you like to know?

You writing a book maybe?

You gotta realize

how good you got it.

Team Leader at 31.

Wonder kid,

flying up the command chain.

Why don't you just relax.

I'm always relaxed.

I'm just getting tired of you

running your mouth all the time.

I get tired of explaining

how we let a little old lady

blow up D-Punch.

What's up?

Square things up here.

Meet me outside.

Y'all leave a good tip.

We're still the alert squadron.

And I just got word

that we're being placed

under operational controls

at the Agency's

Special Activities Division for this op

at Admiral McRaven's

personal direction.

I don't know the target yet.

Whatever it is,

it's important to someone.

Say goodbye to your wives and kids,

your girlfriends, your Harleys,

your pets, whatever.

Load out for you guys is at 0-4.

Looks like we may have

the opportunity to...

...get payback for D-Punch

sooner than we expected.

Hopefully, you guys

have had enough time

to get your heads straight.

OK?

Wait.

Hold on a second.

What?

Never mind.

It was nothing.

Morning, sir. Vivian Hollins.

Senior counter-intelligence

threat analyst.

Hollins.

I was at CTC during Operation Anaconda.

Your recon on that mission

saved hundred of lives,

and if you hadn't taken out

that SAM position

it would have been a bloodbath.

That was a credit to the men.

We had a ghost detainee,

a known Al-Qaeda courier,

lead us to the suspected location

of a high-value target,

and the DCI wants us to put

an immediate action plan in place.

We've opened the file

and started the planning cycle.

The HVT is in a walled compound.

The main building is surrounded

by 12 foot walls.

Two gated and guarded entry points.

No telephone lines, no Internet.

Trash is incinerated.

Kids are home schooled.

How many kids?

- It's a goddamn madrassa.

- Yeah.

There are at least seven

armed military-age males

here, on top of the main building,

looks like it

could have been designed

as a station for some sort

of anti-aircraft equipment.

Intelligence indicates that the target

has access to Stinger missiles.

are reports that there are

in this main structure,

rigged to a light switch.

NRO has a dedicated satellite

watching the compound.

Since this began,

analysts have, on several occasions,

recognized the man who appears
