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

house arrest, or whatever.

In either case, that's why

our operatives were followed.

PANETTA:
They may be

protecting someone.

We just don't know

who that someone is.

VIVIAN:
Um, sorry.

He's a...

he's a 6'5" bearded guy,

doesn't use the phone,

doesn't use the Internet,

doesn't leave the compound

surrounded by a 12-foot wall,

has a known Al Qaeda courier.

So I think we actually

do know who he is.

PANETTA:
Who is that speaking?

VIVIAN:
Vivian Hollins,

Mr. Panetta.

Senior Counterintelligence

Threat Analyst.

PANETTA:
Well, Miss Hollins,

the President

of the United States

is gonna be staking

his presidency on this call.

No one will ever know your name

if it turns out badly.

[dial tone]

GUIDRY:
That went well.

VIVIAN:
If you do not have

the go-ahead

from the Oval Office,

it's irrelevant.

Anything you've done,

anything you know

is irrelevant at that moment,

and so that is one

of the most frustrating parts

about what I do.

PRESIDENT OBAMA:

At the end of the day,

we cannot say definitively

that Bin Laden is there.

Sending in choppers and actually

putting our guys on the ground

entails some greater risks

than some other options.

But it's important for us

to be able to say

that we definitely got the guy.

GUIDRY:
We're a go.

LT. COMMANDER:
Stunner?

We're on for tonight.

Tell the team.

LT. COMMANDER:

All right, people, listen up.

We are officially executing

Operation Neptune Spear.

The HVT is Osama Bin Laden.

Code name will be Geronimo.

TRENCH:

What did I tell you, man?

I am clairvoyant.

LT. COMMANDER:

Latest intel tonight

is there are at least

30 people in the compound.

Many of them women and children.

Your job is to secure

and segregate non-hostiles.

I cannot stress this enough!

You must be able to discern

shooters from non-combatants.

As for the primary target,

the preference is no detainees.

FBI and CIA will be on hand

to assist with chain of custody.

F-15 Strike Eagles

will be on station.

There will be two Chinooks

no more than ten mikes out

in case we get in trouble

with the natives.

Apaches will provide

gunship support.

JSTARS will jam Pakistani radar.

If it gets rough,

we fight our way out.

Rangers are sitting right across

the border to help out.

As always, we go in sterile.

If you get killed,

you're stupid.

If you get captured,

you've gotta get killed first.

Make sure your Smart Packs

are back here.

SEAL Team Orange

will ride with Stalker One.

SEAL Team Green, Stalker Two.

Our enemy here is Al-Qaeda.

It's no secret

they are not afraid to die.

Neither are we.

[indistinct talking on radio]

LT. COMMANDER:
Tonight...

we know why we are here.

We know who we are.

Tonight we fight for something

truly greater than ourselves.

Tonight we ride.

MALIK:

PILOT:

Dim your lights.

Three mikes. Good luck.

JSOC COMMANDER:
Single uniform,

right side courtyard, not armed.

STUNNER:
We started losing

elevation at about 500 feet.

CHERRY:

The motor starts straining,

and then you realize

it's not straining;

it's just actually

not getting any lift.

PILOT:
Stalker One

has lost tail rudder.

JSOC COMMANDER:
Stalker One,

Cease fire!

Cease fire! Cease fire!

I need eyes on that target.

We don't know

who else is in that room!

[crying and screaming]

STUNNER:

Open and close the doors!

TECHNICIAN:

Paki jets are still grounded.

STUNNER:
Closed door right.

TRENCH:
Open door! Open door!

SOLDIER:
Breach!

SOLDIER:

MAN:
What happened?

WASEEM:
What happened?

Even I don't know.

That's because

you make 20 rupees a day.

He will fill you in.
