"We're on our way." "(low, indistinct radio chatter)" "Hey, chief." "How long to the target?" "A little over eight minutes." "We scrambled" "Two fox 15-echos as soon as the intelligence came back." "Are the jets authorized to enter pakistani airspace?" "Waiting for word from centcom." "Can we send a drone instead?" "Not in the time frame." "What about ground teams?" "There are none operating in the area." "I need to talk to islamabad." "He's on the secure uplink." "Okay." "Talk to me, sandy." "What's the issue?" "No issue." "Only that I'm just hearing about this" "For the first time." "He's number four on the hit list, carrie;" "What more do you need to know?" "The source of your intel." "Same as the last four high-value kills." "Does he have a name yet, this source?" "The deal was anonymity in exchange for information." "So far, it's been a very fruitful relationship." "Well, so far, we've always had time to get a second opinion," "Double-check the intelligence." "Well, consider the target." "What do you mean?" "Well, there's a reason you don't get many shots" "At a guy like haissam haqqani;" "he's famously careful." "Well, we trained him, didn't we?" "Trained him?" "Hell, he learned how to jump out of airplanes" "With the 82nd airborne." "Did centcom get back?" "Authorization to engage." "On your command." "Where's the live feed from?" "We got lucky, jacked into a nato satellite." "And that's the location right there?" "Yeah, the building in the middle." "It's a farmhouse of some kind, I'm told." "How confident are we haqqani's in the farmhouse?" "One of those vehicles out front..." "The red hi-lux... we've seen it at his compound in miranshah." "What about cde concerns?" "No other habitations within 75 meters of the target." "Well, obviously anybody inside the farmhouse" "Would be collateral damage." "Yeah." "I'd feel a lot better if we weren't so blind" "On such a short clock." "Sandy's source has always been rock solid." "Yes, he has." "And haqqani's made a bad habit of killing american soldiers." "Where are the f-15s?" "Uh, they're buzzing the border." "They can be on the target in 60 seconds." "Any friendlies in the area?" "No." "Ordinance restrictions?" "None." "Send them in." "Yes, ma'am." "Smash 11, this is control." "How do you hear?" "Pilot:" "I have you loud and clear." "I have you also, smash 11." "It's playtime." "12 from 11." "Currently in comms with jtac." "Dial in." "Hey, where you going?" "I think you can handle it from here." "Just have the pilots do a couple of recce passes" "Afterwards for damage assessment." "Uh, stick around, will you?" "I'm supposed to be on a skype call with my sister." "Stick around." "Control standing by." "The group has a little something planned." "Control, we're two mikes out." "Calm winds." "Copy that." "Two mikes out." "Call weapons gone and time of flight." "Wilco." "Hammer down." "Three, two, one." "Weapons free, ten seconds." "Copy that." "Ten seconds to impact." "Blast two coming left."

"Oh, what am I saying?" "It's after midnight there." "I've just taken my ambien, so..." "You really need to" "Wean yourself off that stuff, carrie; it's not good for you." "Well, neither is not sleeping." "Hey," "Happy birthday." "Thanks." "So?" "What'd you do for your birthday?" "Interrogated a couple prisoners, flew another mission." "It's all over the internet right now just how bad it is there." "Well, that's mostly in the tribal areas." "The capital's been relatively peaceful lately." "If you can call eight suicide attacks" "In a week relatively peaceful." "You should be in istanbul, out of harm's way," "And franny should be with you." "Well, that was the plan." "How is she, anyway?" "A week older than the last time we talked."

"Actually, I have another thing I was gonna mention." "Just a thought I want to throw out there." "Okay." "If we'd known in 2001" "We were staying in afghanistan this long," "We'd have made some very different choices." "Right?" "Instead, our planning cycles rarely looked" "More than 12 months ahead." "So it hasn't been a 14-year war we've been waging," "But a one-year war waged 14 times." "I think we're walking away with the job half done." "Saul, could I speak with you?" "Ask the general what he thinks." "Have we given our counterinsurgency program" "A chance to work?" "Saul." "Excuse us." "Saul, what are you doing?" "I think I have an obligation." "What are you doing?" "A troop drawdown will only inspire the enemy." "Afghan security forces are nowhere near ready" "To step into the breach." "Save it for your op-ed." "We're trying to win a contract here." "Wasn't it trollope" "Who said the best capitalist is someone who's greedy and honest?" "First, the drawdown's happening, whether you like it or not." "Second, it represents a significant market opportunity" "For this firm." "I was there when we first went in, aaron." "Kabul looked like one of those black-and-white photos" "Of dresden, 1945..." "Blasted, wasted," "Deserted." "I'm aware of" "How much of your life you have invested" "In this fight..." "Girls not allowed in school," "Roving gangs of men with whips enforcing sharia law," "A safe haven again for al-qaeda." "It's not your job anymore to have a say in the matter." "We really want to risk going back to all that?" "Did you hear me, saul?" "It's not your job anymore." "Do we have the after-action download from the cockpits?" "We do." "I want to see the reconnaissance photos." "Mary's got them on her laptop." "News anchor:" "The deaths of over 40 civilians." "The strike took place at 11:04 p.M.

""our revenge will be unprecedented."" "Fuck you, too." "Katie, fly a reaper over the ao." "I want to see ground zero in the light of day." "On it."

"Where is it written that an ambassador must spend 90%" "Of her time cleaning up after her chief of station?" "Nowhere," "But it is the case almost everywhere." "Well, we get along." "Why can't you be my station chief?" "Sorry I'm late." "Peter has just been filling me in" "On the well-wishers gathering outside our front gate." "I saw that." "Hey, peter." "I've also got the foreign minister" "On my call sheet." "What can I tell him?" "That haissam haqqani's dead." "I know that already." "What else?" "It's pure pr bullshit, the wedding claim." "Technically, it wasn't even a drone strike." "Technically?" "It was a bombing run." "Two f-15es." "You're right." "I don't think I'll share that with the foreign minister." "But just so I'm clear..." "Somebody high up in the pakistani government" "Signed off on this, right?" "Oh, come on, martha." "What?" "It's their airspace, their sovereignty." "They scream bloody murder, but it's theater, it's face-saving." "They want these assholes dead as much as we do." "They're a little less enthusiastic" "When we kill civilians." "Haqqani was a legitimate target." "Everybody in that farmhouse" "Had to know who he was, a marked man." "He put their lives at risk, not us."

"They pull this shit all the time." "If it wasn't a wedding," "They'd say it was a mosque we hit or a..." "Orphanage or a mosque for orphans." "Uh, this one feels different somehow." "Why?" "The time frame, the way we went in." "The fact we didn't have eyes-on before we ordered the strike." "Well, way to stay positive." "(crowd clamoring in distance)" "You still there?" "Yeah, I'm here." "(sighs) listen to me, quinn," "Worst case scenario:" "It was a wedding." "Obviously not ideal." "But dande darpa khel's about as deep in the tribal area" "As you can get."
