In Foz do Iguacu, Brazil, Jane Cole (Pell James) is having a conversation with a couple of locals about football versus soccer. Suddenly, what appears to be a bus, stops, there are screams and as it drives away, Jane and the men are gone.
Back in the US, Clay Spenser (Max Thieriot) and his team are riding back in the van, glad their exercise is over. Clay takes a raincheck and they ask when as there are less than 2 weeks left of the green team. He is mocked about seeing Stella (Alona Tal), when suddenly their van is hit and they are ordered to come with their hands behind their back.
Jason Hayes (David Boreanaz) meets with Alana (Michaela McManus) who explains the papers he is signing about their daughter Emma (Kerri Medders) not drinking and driving nor them picking her up when she has been drinking. He likes seeing her in her office and she loves being at work. He confesses that he lied to her about Nate’s (Daniel Gillies) burner phone; explaining about the Teresi, the interpreter and Nate’s involvement in getting her into the United States. Alana understands that he is trying to protect them from the horrors of the worlds and wants to know about what is happening in his life, he thinks about it and should share it with her, so she can think about it too – in sickness and in health if that still applies. She thanks him for telling her.
At home, Ray Perry (Neil Brown Jr.) is holding his baby, when his wife, Naima (Parisa Fakhri) comes in and tells him she is finding ways of cutting back and if he wants the sports channels that isn’t a problem. He is surprised and wants to know how bad it is, but she assures him they will be back on track. She gets angry with him, he apologizes but she says she should know better than to separate him from his pre-season package. He gets a call and is off.
The green team are all in cages, only in their underwear; this part is essential to passing the green team and the more they put into their training, the more they get out. They are told not to fight their instructors, if they are in trouble physically they are to call for the corpsman and if they are in trouble mentally they are to call for their mommies. He leaves them in their cages in complete darkness with music blaring.
Mandy Ellis (Jessica Pare) shares with the SEAL team about Agt. Jane Cole’s abduction, saying it looks local and not political; a kidnap and ransom. They have no idea she is CIA as she went in under a non-diplomatic cover and that firm received the ransom video for $200,000 for her and her interpreters. The team watches the video as Ellis tells them her cover was only set to last a few weeks. Jason looks at the screen of Jane’s face as someone says agents don’t break; Jason says, “Everyone breaks!”
The team is quickly in the air as Lt. Commander Eric Blackburn (Judd Lormand) tells them the details of the operation. Jason is concerned that the bad guys will figure out they are behind them and begin to jump borders but Blackburn says they will deal with that when it comes and for the moment the only country they have authority to operate in is Brazil.
Ray approaches Jason, asking him who took care of the bills when he and Alana were separated. He said they never fought about money as Jason questions him if there is trouble in paradise. Sonny (A.J. Buckley) comes down the stairs complaining that he hates the jungle, talking about bugs and spiders he saw on Discovery channel that can kill you or make you gravely ill. Ray asks about drafting Clay, but Jason says he has to make it through green team first. Clay is put through the wringer with interrogation, punched repeatedly. He is questioned about teammates but they cannot break him.
On the plane, the two teams work out their plan and begin their trek through the jungle. The K-9 is given Jane’s scent and they are on their way as Sonny continues to freak out over the bugs. The dog finds a trip wire and they approach the target. They enter a village, which has been cleared out but the dog finds the bodies of Brazilians.
The SEAL team is finally able to reach Blackburn and announce they found the male hostages and both are deceased, but the dog doesn’t have a trail either.
In the ocean, a young Clay (Kai Daniels) tells his father Ash Spenser (C. Thomas Howell) that he can beat him, as he will turn into a dolphin. Suddenly his father pulls him under the water and he is terrified. Back to training, Clay is reminded that this is how it feels to drown and is asked if he is ready to have a conversation; Clay refuses, saying he was actually a little thirsty.
Mandy Ellis reveals to the team that whoever has Jane Cole now, knows who she is. Lisa Davis (Toni Trucks) wants to know how did they find out she was CIA? Now they know she is worth more and that people like them will be chasing them. They have confirmed that Jane and her kidnappers are now in Paraguay, in the most corrupt city ever, where there are not anti-terrorism laws on the books. They are not authorized to go into Paraguay, so the Brazilian team leaves.
Blackburn says DOD won’t give them the go ahead if they don’t have a fixed location on Jane, but they can only have that if they are in the country. It’s a catch-22! Jason says he will go to Paraguay with Ellis as her plus 1, as he is entitled to a holiday; he is instructed to not be working at all. Mr Buckman (William O’Leary), from the Paraguay consulate, initially gives Ellis and Jason a hard time helping them; but she says if it goes south, he is the one going to take the hit for it.
The SEAL team, talk about how bad their training was. Sonny says he doesn’t know why everyone gets so worked up about it because it’s nothing like the jungle. Jason reminds Ellis she should never call herself a “spook” as Buckman goes to meet with one of his operatives. She feels she does nothing like what they do, just mostly what Jane was doing; she feels Jane isn’t ready for this and they need to get her before they bring her to Venezuela and then Lebanon. She tells Jason she broke up with her boyfriend, they didn’t talk and that was probably the problem.
Buckman returns with his man, who says they are hiding across the street with an American woman. Buckman pays him and he leaves; Buckman stops them from doing anything saying the Ambassador has decided to loop in the Paraguayan military, and it is not even a joint operation, they can only observe. Ellis is furious.
The music continues to blare as the green team sits in their tiny cages. Clay sits back and begins to see himself on the beach with Brian (Jay Hayden) beside him; joking that he thought death would be more restful than this. Clay talks to him about going to his house and his old man; Brian says there are some things you don’t fight, so you give up. Brian says you give up and say goodbye; it’s a waste of energy to fight what can’t be fought. He says the ocean looks great, but Clay asks him to stay longer, calling out his name.
Ellis and Jason meet with Lt. Vargas (Danny Pardo), who explains his plan to get the target; when Jason offers his help, he refuses, saying this is not his operation and he is more than welcome to escort his American citizen home when their operation is complete. Clay continues to fight his exercise and refuses to give them any information. They place him in a barrel, with a grate on top and begin to fill it with liquid. Jason and Ellis watch as they breach the building and the Paraguayan military men are getting killed as Jane Cole is taken away from the building; Jason chases after the car but ca do nothing.
Buckman works with Ellis who makes a call, saying she tried to do it their way and this is about to be a much bigger disaster if they can’t do this operation themselves; DOD grants them permission to retrieve their agent. The SEAL team is in position as they take Jane out of their car and towards the airplane. Jason tells them to light it up, they kill everyone as Jason tells Jane who he is, takes her over his shoulder saying he is taking her home. On the flight home, Ellis tells Jane she did a great job, she was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Clay is in the barrel full of water, holding his face to the grate to breath. He suddenly thinks about being in the water with his dad, who tells him he can’t stay there or he is going to drown. Clay says he is going to get out of there and his father says he will. Clay looks at his father down in the water and remembers Brian’s words that there are some things you just cannot fight and you have to say goodbye. He watches his father sink as hands pull him out of the water.
Standing in front of him is Jason, Sonny, Ray, and Buck; Jason shakes his hands, as Adam says this capture has been liberated. Congratulations!
Ray comes home to find his wife, sleeping on all the bills around her. He offers to help her, but she says just go to bed; he says no, and whatever is going on they will get through it, they are family and in it together and asks her what is going on. She tells him it isn’t good and begins to explain.
Jason knocks on Alana’s door, bringing her food and alcohol. He says this is tradition and they cheers. She asks why it is so busy lately and talks about something she saw on the news; he claims he doesn’t watch the news. Alana presses, saying the problem with being married to the guy who saves the world is any time you want to come first, you’re being selfish. This is the only life they have, with the kids and she doesn’t want to waste it living with a ghost.
She tells him they have been talking to each other since they were 9 years old, and Jason begins to tell her what happened.
END!
