Seal Team 6: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden

---

What you want me to talk about?

I mean...

...we trained just like

we always trained

for any other mission.

They're all serious.

to join the Seals

was for missions like this.

The dream of getting this call.

As it happened, that night

the President was due

to give a speech.

White House Correspondents' Dinner.

Room full of journalists.

The fact is only a handful of his aides

knew that just before the event,

the President had authorized the raid.

please have a set.

My fellow Americans...

...it is wonderful to be here

at the White House

Correspondents' Dinner.

What a week.

of missions like this.

Dead of the night type raids.

What was different...

...was the target.

It's such an honor performing

for those of you here tonight,

as well as the handful of people

watching at home on C-SPAN.

People think Bin Laden

is hiding in the Hindu Kush,

but did you know that

every day from four to five

he hosts a show on C-SPAN?

you don't get to live free

without working for it.

You gotta earn it every day.

And...

...that day we did.

It's good to see you.

Well...

... "talk" might be the wrong word.

Can you imagine being tied down,

and your skin peeled off?

Did you know you have

three layers of skin,

so it could take awhile.

Make your time here

seem like heaven.

I expect you will end up dying.

Their torture chambers

are state of the art.

And your wife and children...

...they will go too.

What can I do?

Give me something to chew on.

I need to show

the guys with the keys

that you are worth keeping around.

And there are 25 million green reasons

for you to help us find

the man we want.

I have nothing.

I have nothing.

I know.

That's why I'm letting

the Saudis borrow you.

I wish it could end up better for you.

But at least now you can

take comfort in the fact that

this is definitely going to end.

You're on your own.

- Ahmed al-Kuwaiti.

- The courier?

- Let's find him.

- Understood.

- Now.

actionable intelligence,

about high-value terrorist targets,

and President Musharraf

will not act, we will.

And I think Barack Obama

is confused as to who are our friends,

and who are our enemies.

We do not go out and say to a nation,

which is working with us,

that we intend to go in there

and potentially bring out

a unilateral attack.

Teddy Roosevelt used to say,

"Talk softly but carry a big stick."

Senator Obama likes to talk loudly.

We will kill Bin Laden,

we will crush Al-Qaeda.

That has to be our biggest

national security priority.

The phone call that we traced

tied the courier back in with Al-Qaeda.

We immediately put two assets

on the ground in Peshawar.

Pan to the left.

Your other left.

Got it.

And watch the profanity,

I understand Pashto.

Salaam alaikum.

Is there a lighter there?

On your left, talking right now,

that's our man.

It's OK.

He's coming out.

- Let's go.

- Hold this.

We've got him.

Good signal.

Keep the distance.

We have caught him.

Get up here.

Take this way.

There he is,

you're coming up behind him.

I'm getting some interference.

Keep your eyes on him.

We have got him.

We have got a visual.

Karakoram Highway.

Target is leaving Peshawar.

Do you still have him?

We're trying to get eyes on you.

The boy is headed towards Abbottabad.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

We've got eyes back on him.

Good work, gentlemen.

We'll take it from here.

this is the first time

we've had eyes on the courier.

We know he used to be

a courier for Al-Qaeda.

We have no confirmation

they are still in contact,

but we know the place

is built like a fortress.
