In Al-Hool, North Eastern Syria, two young boys shoot a wolf, but when they look for it, they find several cow carcasses. Jason Hayes (David Boreanaz) and Alana (Michaela McManus) are packing up Molly’s stuff. Jason is shocked she wants to get rid of everything but Molly tells him since Nate Massey’s (Daniel Gillies) death, she wants to have a fresh start with her family. He suggests having dinner but she says it’s not a good idea for any of the. He admits he is checked out all the time but Alana reminds him if they are taking a break, they are taking a break from all of it.

Jason looks outside and reminisces about a barbecue Nate had, when he told him that Alana are going to live apart for a while. Nate tells him to move in there and spend some time with his godson, he refuses.

At the Naval Combat Training Center, Green Team Selection, Clay Spenser (Max Thieriot) does the course and is told he has some good moves. Ray (Neil Brown Jr.) and his wife, Naima (Parisa Fakhri) finish up their ultrasound and Ray says his duty schedule is unpredictable. The doctor questions what command he is but before he can respond, he gets a call and needs to leave the appointment.

Mandy Ellis (Jessica Pare) shows the images of the supposedly abandoned hospital outside Al-Hool, which they suspect is being used as a bio-weapons factory. Dr. Lucien (James Hiroyuki Liao) says DOD won’t authorize a strike without definitive proof. They view satellite imagery that shows all the dead cattle, and if it weren’t for the cows they never would have found the place.

The team is told they will have to handle the deadliest stuff men have ever created; they discuss how they are going to get into the place without breaching air space, but Jason is more concerned about getting out. They are not impressed that Lucien needs to come with them.
At the training center, the men are told by Adam (Michael Irby) that they are to select the top 5 and bottom 5 of their team. Clay is frustrated that the top 5 will not know they made the grade but Adam puts him in his place. Jason jokes that Adam is getting “soft” in his old age and is surprised that Spenser still has his teeth. Sonny (A.J. Buckley) says Spenser is only cocky because of his father. Jason suggests that ray should sit this one out, but he refuses.

As they prepare to leave, Sonny teaches Lucien everything about their upcoming jump from the plane, scaring him more than anything. Jason helps everyone prepare, they line up when the light is red, the back of the plane opens and they jump out, one by one, Lucien attached to Sonny.

Clay stands at the bar with Brian (Jay Hayden), both wondering who is in the bottom 5; when two girls walk into the bar, Clay quickly approaches them. He talks to Stella (Alona Tal), and when she declines a drink, he learns she is a grad student. He attempts to pay for her drink, but she is pretends to be offended because its sexist. He asks when he will see her again, she says he knows her name and she’s a teacher, so he shouldn’t find it difficult to figure it out. She gets up and he realizes she didn’t pay the bill, she tells him she never said he couldn’t buy the drink and she hasn’t bought one for herself since she was 16 and isn’t even carrying a wallet.

The team arrived at the hospital, Lucien is a little nervous about walking into a building where there is spilled nerve agent; they shoot and kill the guards and take the dog and approach the building. After checking the air outside the door, they access the hospital, killing any men that are inside. They reach a room that is high on their meters and Jason tells Ray that he has it and moves ahead with the masks on; the room has several empty barrels, Lucien says he needs to swab the room but it will slow down their timeline.

Ray demands to know what that was all about, but when Jason calls back in, they realize that there was movement among the militants and if they turn around, the seals will have 20 minutes to get out of there at most.

Jason and the team are called upstairs in the hospital, where they find people, including small children, laying down and suffering. Jason crouches beside a young child who grabbed his hand and spoke to him. Jason hands him a medal and tells the little boy to hold onto it, when he learns the boy might not make it, he offer his own antidote to make sure he has a better chance. They are told their best guess is this is agent VX, Jason tells him to get at it because when the sunrises in 5 hours he wants to be somewhere else. He reminds Ray that they are the good guys because they don’t actually use the deadly stuff.

Back on the plane, they are working on trying to pull their people out before the sun rises; so far they are not getting any back up. Jason’s team is concerned that even though they have the best shooters, it’s not their fault what happens to these people and he is told he needs to be really careful about deciding what is best for someone’s life, the best scenario is they will end up spending the rest of their lives in a refugee camp. Jason reminds him that there is not a whole lot of honor in being a sheep dog, busy keeping his own flock safe and no vigilance in keeping anyone else safe.

Jason learns that Ray’s baby is being born by emergency C-section because its heart rate was lower than they’d like. Lt Commander Eric Blackburn (Judd Lormand) didn’t want him to know but she tells him anyways, and he is left to decide if he is going to tell Ray. Ray wants him to explain why he went through the door first, as team leader is never to go in first. He understands that Jason wants him to be back to “deliver ice chips” to his wife while she is in labor; Jason doesn’t tell him.

Blackburn acknowledges that it sucks but tells Jason that they are to collect samples and leave everyone and everything else behind. Jason returns to the young boy who is suffering, he picks up the medal he gave him and attempts to calm him. Jason tells the team, whoever wants to leave, then they can while the rest of them will stay and keep a stronghold against a very large enemy and once they are engaged, the Green Berets will respond to them; if not, they will be overrun. Lucien even agrees to stay, giving them 9 men to fight back. Mandy looks on the satellite and sees there are far too many men approaching the hospital.

Jason takes the little boy and moves him to a more secure location with all the other victims and patients. He gets a message, and Lucien says he has more than enough information to prove they were working with a nerve agent, saying the people here got lucky and is surprised they are not all dead. Jason calls and holds off the DOD, telling Ray that the patients and people who were subjected to the nerve agent are now the evidence the DOD needs, meaning they will all be saved.

Back on the plane, Mandy says all the people need to be in a lab and leaving any of them behind would be a risk. Blackburn continues the call and they are given the okay; the Green Berets are on their way to take all the people. As the last of them are put on the truck, explosions erupt as Jason carries the little boy into the truck, they are surrounded by gunfire and Jason holds the boy, knowing that he is gravely ill.

Ray tells Jason the baby was 8lbs 10oz, and the slow heart rate was from the cord around the neck. Naima is tired and sore. He says Jason could have told him but he understands why he didn’t.

At the training center, the bottom 5 are posted and Spenser is on it. Adam says it could be worse and at least he is still there. Meanwhile Ray is back and celebrating with his wife and their new baby. Jason returns to see Alana, who says she underestimated this job. She asks him how work was, he says it was good and everyone is back safe. He calls his son, Mikey over, asking him to help him pack up boxes.

THE END!
