Quotes 

• Clay Spenser : Turkmenistan is cozy with the Russians, and is led by a madman. And I'm not sure why we'd want to go there and share our tactics with them.

  Ray Perry : Teaching tomorrow's enemies today.

  Jason Hayes : Which is why we're not gonna show 'em all of our tricks. CQB only.

  Lt. Commander Eric Blackburn : Offering to guide their burgeoning spec-ops program will score the U.S. points with a potential ally in a hostile region.

  Jason Hayes : And Mr. Spencer here has graciously volunteered to tell us all about it. Has he not?

  Clay Spenser : [applause as he stands up]  Volun-told, actually.

  Jason Hayes : Drum roll, please.

  Clay Spenser : [imitating Blackburn, to a chorus of laughter]  All right, everybody, listen up.

  Lt. Commander Eric Blackburn : That's not even close.

  Clay Spenser : The base we're gonna be living and training in is in the city of Turkmenbashi.

  Sonny Quinn : Bashi.

  Clay Spenser : The area is geopolitically stable, although not without tension.

  Sonny Quinn : All right, get to the good stuff there. Get to the good stuff. Where is our local drinking establishment? How close, and how clothed?

  [a door opens and Mandy enters] 

  Sonny Quinn : Whoa. Why don't we table that 'til later?

• Lt. Commander Eric Blackburn : Daytona 500 champ Austin Dillion has generously offered to give Bravo some driving lessons.

  Sonny Quinn : Are you kidding me? Austin Dillion? The Ace?

  Lt. Commander Eric Blackburn : The one and only.

  Clay Spenser : It's okay, Sonny. You can put that tongue of yours back in your mouth, okay?

• Lt. Commander Eric Blackburn : Bravo 1, this is Havoc. Be advised, HVT is now mobile. Departing the safe house in a silver VW sedan. How copy?

  Jason Hayes : Copy, Havoc. Do we have a second known destination?

  Lt. Commander Eric Blackburn : Negative, 1. We have eyes on the vehicle. We can guide you through the pursuit. Interdiction is gonna have to happen vehicle to vehicle.

  Jason Hayes : Good copy, Havoc. Show us the way.

  Clay Spenser : [sarcastic]  'Cause an outmanned safe house hit with nuclear stakes is too easy.

• Lisa Davis : Latiff is a gold mine of foreign weapons knowledge that we can tap. Plus, it'll keep the Turkmen from advancing their program.

  Lt. Commander Eric Blackburn : Yeah. We will be under constant watch by Turkmen command on the base. Doing anything without their knowledge, let alone an HVT capture op, will be tremendously dangerous.

  Jason Hayes : Yeah, but it's a hell of a lot more fun than runnning drills.

• Mandy Ellis : Vehicle just pulled up at the safe house.

  Lisa Davis : They could be getting ready to transport Latiff.

  Mandy Ellis : We have no intel on a secondary location. If we lose Latiff, he's in the wind. Bravo has to move now.

  Lt. Commander Eric Blackburn : The team's window to exit safely is not for another fifteen minutes.

  Mandy Ellis : Okay, well, we scramble the transport early.

  Lt. Commander Eric Blackburn : That's not gonna work.

  Mandy Ellis : Create a diversion on the base to draw the guard off.

  Lt. Commander Eric Blackburn : We don't have a full team.

  Mandy Ellis : You're telling me four Tier One Operators can't outwit one security guard?

  Lt. Commander Eric Blackburn : Listen, I understand what you went through in Caracas, Agent Ellis. And that you want to keep doubling down, earn back what you lost. But there is a limit. There's nothing to do but wait and watch.

• Lisa Davis : The HVT, Latiff, will be arriving in Turkmenbashi on the last day of your visit.

  Jason Hayes : Any heightened security measures we should know about?

  Lisa Davis : None that I'm aware of.

  Mandy Ellis : His captors most likely think that getting him out of Pakistan was the hard part.

  Clay Spenser : How many guns protecting him?

  Lisa Davis : Estimate three to four.

  Lt. Commander Eric Blackburn : Yeah, we can only send in a four-man assault team. The rest of the unit will have to maintain a presence at the base for cover.

  Sonny Quinn : Hmm. This hit seems pretty straightforward.

  Jason Hayes : Straightforward, right. We'll be on the base without any of our guns, vehicles, or method to sneak out undetected.

  Lisa Davis : Agency is pinning down weapons and transport as we speak.

  Lt. Commander Eric Blackburn : Yeah, and if our hosts have any inkling that we've got an agenda besides training, the blowback will be disastrous.

• Lt. Commander Eric Blackburn : We'll be departing today for our foreign internal defense training exercises. Five days in Turkmenistan.

  Sonny Quinn : Is that on Tatooine?
