Act of Valor
Before my father died, he said
the worst thing about growing old...
was that other men stopped
seeing you as dangerous.
I've always remembered that, how being
dangerous was sacred, a badge of honor.
You live your life by a code, an ethos.
Every man does. It's your shoreline.
It's what guides you home.
And, trust me,
you're always trying to get home.
Authorities say
the ring is centered in Costa Rica,
with the primary export being...
...widely unknown if
the war on drugs is connecting them...
...in the region
have been known to retaliate using a...
flying from the US to control that...
Can we get some ice cream?
- No, we gotta go.
- You always say no.
- Well, are you gonna buy?
- No, you buy.
OK, what are
we getting today?
- Passion fruit.
- OK, passion fruit.
claimed responsibility for the attack...
at the International School in Manila.
Your father was a reader.
Churchill, of course, but also Faulkner
He loved artists who painted people
with bodies that looked like boxes.
I'd give him hell about that.
He'd just say,
"You gotta look harder".
Ambassador Margullies had long
been a strong supporter
ofjoint counterterrorism operations
conducted within this region.
Not one group
has yet claimed responsibility...
for the attacks on
the International School.
- Here's your coffee, Rorke.
- Thank you, ma'am.
- How's it going?
- Hey, you want the usual?
- You're late again, Dave.
I didn't say anything.
What do you got
going on over here?
- Are you serious, man?
- We're not telling anyone yet.
You a little nervous, though, huh?
Last time I checked,
they don't come with directions.
Yeah, tell me about it.
- Hey.
- Hey.
My man here is having a baby.
Hey, congratulations.
Hey, everybody,
Rorke's having a baby.
Congratulations, Rorke!
Whoo!
- What did I just say?
- Ah, don't worry about it, man.
You're gonna be awesome. I'm so excited
for you, man. You're gonna be a good dad.
are heading down to the beach.
Bring Sandy and the kids.
I'll bring an extra board for you.
- You know I don't surf.
- I know you don't surf, but it'll be good
- to get the families together.
- All right.
But now that you've told
everyone in the bar,
try and contain yourself tomorrow.
I will try.
"Look harder,"
I always knew he wasn'tjust talking
about those boxy abstract paintings.
There's threats everywhere,
and the world is draped in camouflage.
Huh?
Hey, I'll be right down, all right?
Whatever you say, Boss.
How was the ride?
I left Colombia this morning.
- Colombia to here in one day?
- Piece of cake.
Anyway, estimates say
that Christo is worth
- close to a billion.
- That's with a "B"?
Yeah, and he gives back a lot
to this community over here...
with medical clinics,
schools, political donations,
you name it, so this is the deal:
They are extremely
loyal to him over here.
When did the DEA hand him over to us?
When they intercepted a 707 of his
filled with Soviet weapons.
Listen, Langley says that
the boys over at NSA,
they found some interesting
intercepts connecting Christo
to a jihadist network
out of Southeast Asia.
Apparently, Christo and one
of the guys running the network,
they're childhood friends.
Your father's grandfather
gave up his life...
flying a B-24 in World War II.
He kept the Liberator aloft
just long enough for everyone to jump,
and then he went down
with the plane.
That's the blood
that courses in your veins.
- Daddy, can I come with you?
- You want to come with me?
Did you feel how cold it is out there?
I'll tell you what,
go hang out with Mommy for a little while,
help out with the baby.
When I come back in, if you still want
to go out, I'll take you out with me.
- Promise?
- I promise. Hurry up, go.
- What's going on, sir?
- What's up, brother?
Nothing much, man.
Now, I know
you got the New York heritage,
but this isn't exactly like
sitting back in Staten Island.
You got to actually work hard
to get through the surf.
- Yeah, I know.
- Twelve-plus years on the Teams,
and you don't know
how to do this?
Hey, wait till you
have five kids, man.
You'll see how much time
you got to play in the surf.
You ready to get
in the drink or what?
All right, man, lead the way.
- All right, don't embarrass us.
- All right.
Your father was my Boss,
and I was his Chief.
What we knew about each other
strengthened our bond as operators.
There was a brotherhood between us,
and we depended on each other
more than a family.
Tecumseh said,
"Although a single twig will break,
OK, OK, gracias.
Wow, this is unbelievable.
ordered Chinese in this place.
It's really good.
Double word score,
- "Dumb"?
- Read it and weep, sugar.
I'll try not to.
Look at this, look at this.
Thirty-eight points for me.
"Adumbrating,"
that's not even a word.
OK, first of all,
it's pronounced "adumbrating,"
and it means pretending,
foreshadowing.
Hm...
Guess who's buying dinner
tonight, sugar.
Fine.
In most cases,
officers get tactical partners.
Langley sets me up
with some sort of SCRABBLE hustler.
SCRABBLE Yoda, OK?
Get it right.
