[Haverford] I'm offering you a chance to finish what you started.

You know my target, Massoud Danawi.

This is a joint Agency-Mossad Sanction unit.

You never said this was a joint operation.

I said I work against Iran.

Mossad being here ain't a big leap.

Danawi received five million in crypto,

with instructions to deliver that money to this guy.

[Tal] Balázs Molnar.

No one on Molnar's side knows what Danawi looks like.

Mohammad, as Danawi, is gonna meet with Molnar

and purchase whatever it is he's trying to sell to Iran.

With my bearings, Iran has adequate uranium

to build a bomb in less than a year.

Just know I'm a friend of your father's from his days with the Scouts.

And I'm happy to help pay off an old debt.

Did he tell you why I'm calling?

Haven't talked to him. Just email.

But it's clear he doesn't know what happened with you and the teams.

Well, this, uh, this isn't about me, sir.

You'd like to know about Jed Haverford.

I'd like to know who I'm working for, yes.

May I ask, are the risks that have been taken

bigger than the cost of what you're trying to prevent?

Not when you put it like that.

Then the man you're working for is doing what he's done for the past 30 years.

[thunder booms]

Jed Haverford helped found the Iranian Operations Division.

He's had one purpose since 1983:

to keep a tiger in its cage.

He's dedicated his life to that cause.

-What happened in '83? -Islamic jihad happened.

A proxy force for the Iranian hardliners

bombed our embassy in Beirut.

[men screaming]

Jed and the Agency worked there.

Lost eight friends and two vertebrae in the attack.

Okay.

Fuck.

That's the beauty of the game, man.

Even a pawn can take a king.

Wait, did we bet on this?

[chuckles] Good game.

[Haverford] Heard from my source.

Dinner at the table tonight.

We are up and running. [chuckles]

Finally.

I was beginning to find this shit interesting.

Thanks to Edwards getting that photo in Budapest,

we now know Molnar is working with

the Khalid Network.

The Khalid Network?

Black-market nuclear proliferation group.

Makes sense Tehran turns to them.

This nuclear deal will set them back decades.

[Haverford] But what's beyond comprehension is that,

even knowing that someone else may be in play,

the hardliners have decided to keep this exchange on track.

[Ben] We've been tracking Danawi's phone for weeks.

No calls, no texts. Why now?

[Eliza] Tehran has a hidden enrichment facility

coming online.

Last chance to get new tech into the country before the agreement.

So, Iran ditches the ratlines,

and goes direct between the Khalid Network

and the Quds Forces? Bold fucking move.

Well, my sources say that

the Khalid Network is moving Molnar's bearings

from Budapest to Geneva

by road this week.

We're gonna hit that shipment en route.

Who's the source?

Someone inside.

So here's the play.

We intercept the convoy,

we insert our team in the delivery stream,

and then we close the deal with Tehran.

So we're giving them what they want?

No, Tal.

We're giving them upstream disruption.

We'll take Molnar and his bearings off the board.

Then, my asset will deliver the fake bearings in their place.

Now, with these fake bearings,

the centrifuges can't spin fast enough,

rendering Tehran's new facility useless.

Eliza will stay in lead, but I need

a shooter with experience to back her up.

I'll take it.

[Haverford] You got it.

Hastings and Tal will get the fake bearings from Mossad.

Mohammed, Landry, weapons acquisition.

Uh, this, uh, convoy hit,

it's kind of like preparing a meal.

You get it right, and it's all "compliments to the chef."

[chuckles] It's okay.

Your father has a lot of friends in Langley.

But just so you know,

I'm here,

and you have any questions,

you can always come see me.

Your source inside Tehran...

...the Shepherd.

Who verifies that intel he's feeding you?

SEALs.

[chuckles]

You really don't like working single source.

We launched a war based off of single source intel.

-How's that working out? -Uh, fair enough.

Always the toughest part of an operator racking over.

You can't drop a deuce downrange without four people telling you where to shit.

[chuckles]

I worked with, uh, the Shepherd for decades.

Hunting down Imad Mughniyeh,

the Stuxnet operation that, uh, put the hit on the Iran nuclear program.

He's better than dual source,

and he's got the track record to prove it.

Plus, we only communicate via a fully encrypted portal.

But let me give you one more reason.

What is it about Mohammed that makes you trust an Iraqi to watch your six?

I know what he's fighting for.

Exactly.

He puts family,

and all he considers family,

above the corrupt needs of his nation.

Eliza and I are gonna fall in on the secondary,

Then we're out.

Tal releases traffic, and we're on our way to deliver

the dummy bearings via Haverford's asset.

What about the Molnar component?

Can't leave him alive.

Without Ish,

Molnar falls on me.

Questions?

[Raife] What happens if we can't fully isolate

that Khalid convoy?

Concern?

Excessive collateral damage.

[Eliza] Tal controls traffic flow.

And with the location of the tunnel, we'll have at least 15 minutes

before law enforcement or any QRF response.

But, yes, there's risk.

We need to mitigate what we can and accept the rest.

Yeah, I couldn't agree more.

If we've exhausted all other options.

Your recommendation?

We look for another place to hit the convoy.

-Away from civilians. -[Eliza] We've mapped

and scouted the entire route.

-There is no better option. -Then we look for another time.

[Haverford] There is no other time, Raife.

This tunnel provides us cover and control.

If that convoy gets through, Iran wins.

To help keep our brothers safe, right?

Then it was for me to get the fuck out and for you to go back

-to the teams. You remember that plan? -I do.

And we stuck around to see it through.

But now we're planning a convoy hit

in an allied country based off of single-source intel. That's flag one.

We wouldn't have got that intel

-unless I did what I did. -Flag two,

you are forgetting everything you learned in the teams.

Back in Budapest, you walked onto a subway car, alone,

to ice an enemy you didn't even know.

Third flag...

you are thinking with the wrong head, my friend.

But guess what?

She's not just some cute little NCO.

She's an Israeli Mossad agent that you don't know from Adam.

But you know what the biggest flag

-for me is, Ben? -No.

That you're out here, checking in with me,

because I think your gut

is telling you exactly the same thing across the board.

Except, in true Ben Edwards fashion, you're not willing to listen to it.

Are you done?

I am seeing clear.

Perhaps more clear than I have been in a long time.

Our job is to protect our boys.

And not for one minute did I get

the feeling that mattered to our leadership back in Mosul.

Hastings, I'm fucking tired.

I'm tired of taking orders from motherfuckers

who have never been in a gunfight.

I'm tired of seeing good men like Cox

turned into a fucking puppet.

Here...

...we have the freedom to do the work.

And I know you see it, too.

Back at the teams, how many signatures do we need

to wipe Danawi from the board?

Ten, 12, 15, maybe more.

You gave Danawi the fate he deserved.

And instead of having to apologize for it,

you protected our boys downrange.

It fucking matters.

This job, man.

I get it.

Your concerns are warranted,

but this risk is worth it eight days a week.

Trust me as much as I trust you...

and we'll be fine.
