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

No hostiles in view.

STUNNER:
We're all clear.

Let's push the LNs through

and get the hell out of here,

all right?

[D-Punch speaking

foreign language]

Let's go, guys.

Come on. Move it out.

Hold up!

I need to finish searching.

STUNNER:
D, forget about it.

Let's go! We got to move.

STUNNER:
Oh, D!

D?

D?

STUNNER:
You know, we're trained

to live by

the rules of engagement.

Don't cause reckless harm.

Don't use women, children,

or old people for cover.

And don't strap 50 pounds

of explosives to your chest.

But as team leader, I know

if we give up on the moral code

that our country believes in,

then we're no better than them.

CHERRY:

My problem is very simple.

It's with the rules.

We got rules,

the other side don't.

MAN:
Oh.

VIVIAN:
Okay, let's see.

Good. Good, good, good.

[speaking foreign language]

WOMAN:
Um, you're Malik?

WASEEM:
He is. I'm Waseem.

WOMAN:
Hi. Come,

I'll take you inside.

My family has owned

the building for five years.

And we take

very good care of it.

No pets allowed.

And most of the residents

are families.

So, please,

keep your parties quiet.

WASEEM:
No parties for us.

WOMAN:
Please come.

This comes semi-furnished.

We have television.

There's no AC,

but we can provide you

with a cooler.

There's 24 hours running water,

most of the time.

It's one bedroom.

So you men will be

sharing the bedroom?

WASEEM:
Hmm. Do you have

any two-bedrooms?

WOMAN:
I'm afraid not.

[sighs]

This is a very peaceful

neighborhood.

Very quiet.

Safe and very quiet.

WASEEM:
Quiet is good.

VIVIAN:
Come on,

let me see the view.

MALIK:
That place looks like

it's got some serious security.

WOMAN:
That house

was built a few years ago

by a wealthy

Pashtun businessman.

Strict Purdah family.

Very quiet.

They don't bother anyone.

VIVIAN:
Okay.

That works.

WASEEM:
How is that, Malik?

MALIK:
A little to the right!

A little to the right!

WASEEM:
Right! Yeah?

WASEEM:
Good! Lock it! Yeah.

MALIK:
Perfect.

WASEEM:
How is this, Malik?

MALIK:
Yeah!

WASEEM:
Is it okay?

MALIK:
A little left. Left.

WASEEM:
Left?

MALIK:
Yeah.

WASEEM:

How is the view? Good?

MALIK:
It's good.

WASEEM:
The first one is this.

Is it okay?

[indistinct talking]

VIVIAN:
I just need

one more minute of your time.

I really think it would be

in our best interest

to focus on

what we were talking about.

GUIDRY:
You're going to tell me

what's in my best interest?

VIVIAN:

Things got heated in there.

GUIDRY:
You got

a lot of passion.

We're on the same team, but time

is not a luxury that 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.

VIVIAN:
My obsession 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 adverse.

But I think if you just

look at the field data,

I'm sure you'd agree

that there's more

to support this hypothesis

than any unsubstantiated

cave theories.

GUIDRY:

Christian thinks he's dead.

VIVIAN:
He's not dead.

GUIDRY:
Come on.

Keep it coming.

Spit it out.

VIVIAN:

There is a good possibility

that by the time

we've gathered enough data

to validate a static final say,

something will leak.

He will be long gone and it will

be Tora Bora all over again.

I believe that if there's even

the slightest possibility

of his being in there,

then we should--

GUIDRY:
We should what?

VIVIAN:
Bomb the [bleep]

out of it...sir.

GUIDRY:
You 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 0600.

We're gonna need a back-up plan.

Maybe two.

VIVIAN:
My college roommate

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 wanna be

part of the team

that let him get away again.

CHERRY:
So...

I finally got to buy my mom

a house up the road from mine.

It 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, you know.

And, um,

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.

[chuckles]

But, you know...

even though we go away from

each other for a few days,

it's, um...

we're still a team, you know.

The issues that

we had out on the field,

they're still there.

WOMAN:
All righty, boys.

What else can I get you?

CHERRY:
I'll have

another one of these.

WOMAN:
All right.

TRENCH:
Mmmm.

Chocolate moon cake.

Yeah.

WOMAN:
You got it.

TRENCH:
Any y'all wanna share?

MULE:
No thanks.

I'm not a big chocolate guy.

TRENCH:
Oh, no, no.

Correction.

A big chocolate guy

is exactly what you are.

CHERRY:
The other night me and

Trench were at this bar, right?

And this pack of Frog Hogs

comes marching in.

You remember that?

TRENCH:
Yeah.

CHERRY:
And I just kept thinking

to myself, "Damn.

I feel sorry for the poor guy

who's got to pick a wife

out of that bunch of buns."

I'd have to drink two six packs

and put a gun to my head

just to go home at night.

And then I think,

"Man, if I was Mule,

I'd be ready to kill myself.

MULE:
Well, you ain't me.

So leave me out of this [bleep].

CHERRY:
Sorry, man.

How is little Jaclynn?

What is she, four or five now?

MULE:
My kid has nothing to do

with this conversation.

CHERRY:
Okay. All right!

We'll switch it to Stunner.

Stunner, how is married life

treating you, huh?

STUNNER:
What are you askin'?

CHERRY:
Just, you know? How is

everything on the home front?

It's all good?

STUNNER:
Why would you

like to know?

You writin' a book, maybe?

CHERRY:
You got to realize

how good you got it.
