It's beautiful, yes?
Just like I promised.
Go ahead. Test it.
There are 499 others just like it, ready for delivery.

All over the planet, crops are sick.
No one can grow food.
The people starve to death.
And the one ancient African Palm seed
has the secret to feed the whole world
locked inside its DNA.
It's funny, no?
I didn't know you were such a scientist, Mahmoud.
Ah. I am a thief, but I know business.
And I know the seed's value.
Everyone wants what Omar stole from the seed bank.
And you work for Omar.
Why'd you steal from him?
I don't trust Omar. It's a, uh, it's a tribal thing.
Besides, Mr. Fletcher here has made me a better offer.
Okay, Mahmoud, we have a deal.
Vulture team, it's a go. Get ready to move.
Green, check.
- Taylor, check. - Miller, check.
Where are the rest of the seeds?
Someplace dear to my heart.
- But first, we negotiate. - No. No, no, no, no, no.
We already negotiated.
Omar's buyer is ready to grow food today.
Who is Omar's buyer?
- Ah. - Mahmoud.
To hell with Omar.
I'm thinking about Mahmoud.
Hold tight. Looks like they're haggling.
They will do what they did with the blue cure, eh?
Feed your own people first.
America, U.K.
What do you want, Mahmoud?
Contact, 12:00!
Stay with me, Mahmoud!
Mother, this is Vulture! We are under attack!
Say again, multiple attackers!
Commencing an emergency exfil!
Copy all, Vulture. Master Chief?
SCAT team and lookouts are manned and ready.
- Gator? - Sir, recommend course 2-4-5
to position us for ground cover and RHIB recovery.
Very well. Helm, come to course 2-4-5. All ahead flank.
- Helm, aye. Turning to 2-4-5, all ahead flank. - CIC, notify GFS and exfil teams.
Move RHIB to Exfil Bravo. Beware of hostile gunfire.
You see anything above or below the water?
Negative. Zero contacts.
Sunshine, Mother, you're clear.
Stay low and head to Exfil Alpha now. Over.
This is Sunshine. Two minutes from Exfil.
- It's go time, Nolan. - Copy that.
Halsey, off.
Good boy.
Vulture team, this is Sunshine. I'm at your Exfil.
On the ground in 30 seconds. Let's go.
Let's move. Let's move!
Mahmoud, look at me. Was that Omar?
Were those his men?
Mahmoud, listen, where are the seeds?

I think we made the gods angry today.
Took too many of their fish.
They'll get over it.

Latest images from the States.
Reports say the red rust now covers
90% of the corn population.
Rice and wheat are at almost 100%.
I remember seeing people with the virus,
blood coming out of their eyes and nose.
This looks the same.
I experienced that myself, if you remember.
The red flu was originally a plant virus, Master Chief.
She only jumped back to plants
when we humans developed immunity.
Very clever.
Yeah. Clever.
The virus is spreading faster than our models predicted.
Plant-eating insects have proven to be a hyper-efficient vector
for the red rust.
Now it's affecting sugar cane
and the majority of the Earth's grasslands.
At this rate,
we're looking at a complete breakdown
of the Earth's biosphere.
Within a year, there could be no way to sustain human life.
We don't have to wait a year.
In the States, we're at 200,000 dead.
In South America, it's in the millions.
Mr. Fletcher, you tested this dinosaur palm seed.
- Is it the real deal? - Elaeis virilis.
That ancient African palm seed is the only plant alive today
with proven immunity to the red rust.
And Mahmoud's people stole all the living samples.
We were so close. They were within my grasp.
And this mystery buyer,
the one who hired Mahmoud's people to rip off the seed bank,
he knows how to engineer the seed's immunity
into our current crop?
That's what Mahmoud claimed, but I highly doubt it.
So he's just holding the seeds for ransom,
making the rest of the world pay through the nose.
Meanwhile, all humanity starves.
And the only one who knows where the seeds are stashed
is lying in a coma in our medical bay.
Okay, so we resupply at Rota.
And if our prisoner decides to rejoin the living,
well, we'll just convince him
to tell us where the seeds are stashed.
That is all.
He walked almost to the top, and it was totally scary,
and it was nothing but rock and water,
and I was like, "No way am I going up there."
And then Yaya went up by herself to show me it wasn't scary,
- and then she... - Oh!
Never falling. Your Yaya never fails.
- It was close. - No, I was preparing to fly.
It's true. She can fly. I've seen it.
Like Pallas Athena, I take the shape of a Sea Eagle.
I've always wanted to fly.
Okay, fly away.

He lives in a Greek home, he works with a Greek man,
he loves a Greek girl,
and yet, he has no appreciation of our music.
Cali, you must teach him.
I try.
I'm more of a rhythm and blues guy.
Sure you like the blues because it tells a good story.
We Greeks have been telling stories with music
since ancient times.
From the bards.
Hmm?
Think of Homer, "The Odyssey."
It's a nice fish, Dad.
A small catch today, Ash.
I'll do better tomorrow.
Come, children, let's walk.
Let's go this way.
You like this one?
What's he singing about?
Mm.
Another ancient story about a polutropos...
A man of many wanderings, a great captain.
He saved the world from a deadly enemy.
And then, he vanished.
How long you known about me?
I wasn't sure until now.
But I had my doubts.
Does Cali know?
It's not my business.
You wanted to disappear, and you did.
But the world is in trouble again.
You see it.
I'm done playing the hero, Alex.
Bullshit. You cannot run from your destiny, Tom.
Because you are who you are.
Busy night.
Alex... _
Could be better.
Oh, I hear you're not happy with the new terms.
When you take my whole catch, why should I even fish, hmm?
Because if you don't, then you won't eat at all.
Giorgio...
you control the whole sea.
What is so important about me?
Shh, Alex.
Everyone must pay their tax, or else no one will.
_
He's nobody.
We got it all, boss.
Happy fishing, Alex.
_
Huh? Opa!
_
Captain.
Blazes Boylan, six weeks away, you look six years younger.
It's the starvation diet.
- You look like crap, not for nothing. - Love you, too.
Welcome back to Rota.
We'll get you replenished, refueled,
and where you need to go.
If only I knew where that was.
There he is.
Oh! Is that Daddy?
That's who it is.
Hi! Oh!
Yes!
- Hey. - Mwah. Hello.
- He wanted to see Daddy. - Mm.
Looks like things have gotten worse here.
You okay?
Rota's out of supplies.
As soon as we replenish the James,
- we're pulling up stakes. - Back to Norfolk?
With the food crisis, we just can't sustain all our bases.
The fuel depot has enough to keep the James operational
- for a while longer, though. - But the base is closing?
Yeah.
Doesn't give us much time together.
Well, I am impressed, Kandie.
Only two years in the Kenyan Navy.
How'd you learn to fight like that?
The plague is a good teacher.
Well, you're pretty damn good.
We move well together, you and I.
Kind of like we could sense each other's body.
Like a good weapon.
All of the parts working together.
Well-oiled.
Yeah. Well-oiled. Exactly.
- Thanks, Chief. - Sir.
They're having a fire sale. Everything must go.
- Well, that's good for us. - I guess.
New comms, fresh batteries, headsets.
Pass 'em out to your people.
You got it, LT.
So if I call you, will you answer?
That's the general idea.
Yeah.
Good.
Keep yourself turned on.
See you later, Burk.
This is gonna be fun.
So this could be one of the world's last apples?
Nah, virus hasn't hit apples yet.
Yet?
Six months ago, we said the same thing about corn.
New intel on Mahmoud's boss...
Omar Bin Dalik.
He's got major wasta and connections
stretching from Tangier to Benghazi.
And you're sure this is the guy who broke into the seed bank?
I was skeptical.
Omar and Mahmoud come from very different tribes.
But with the plague and the famine,
Omar's pulling in soldiers from all across Maghreb.
Omar doesn't work for free.
Someone's paying him,
someone who knew the seed's existence,
knew where to find them,
and knows that it's our last chance to save the human race.
We have no idea who that person is.
And unless we're very lucky,
that mystery may also die with Mahmoud.
What...
Mahmoud, you're on a U.S. Navy base.
- What? - I'm James Fletcher.
I'm with British Intelligence.
This is Sasha Cooper and Captain Slattery.
Navy.
You lied to me.
And I'm sorry. But you're safe now.
No.
I am dead.
We're all dead.
Mahmoud, listen, we know about Omar.
We can protect you.
But first, you need to tell us where the seeds are.
We are... We are not safe.
Ah, this is bullshit.
Captain Linsky, can't you pump him up
- with adrenaline or something? - Not if you want him to live.
Hey, Mahmoud. Hey.
Wake up, Mahmoud.
Still wanna sell those seeds? We're still buyin'.
- Where'd you stash 'em? - Mahmoud...
where are the seeds?
My family.
He will spare my family.
Okay.
Mahmoud, we will look after your family.
We will.
But first, we need to protect the seeds.
You need to tell us where they are.
Who has the seeds?
What'd he say?
Lion?
Oh!
Uhh!
Whoo!
Giorgio just started throwing these fights
in every town on the islands.
Bread and Circus... That's what he calls them.
He entertains the people and earns their love
by handing out scraps of food.
Meanwhile, he takes our livelihood.
And no one stands up to him.
They're too high on the tea from that infected weed.
Can you blame 'em?
We've all lost everything.
We all have pain.
Is that a reason to... to give up?
No.
If you cannot fight...
you might as well join the dead.
Yeah!
We're not dead yet.
You haven't heard one word from Chandler?
Not even a postcard. 16 months.
Where do you think he went?
No clue. I hope he found peace.
Lord knows the rest of us haven't.
So the prisoner wasn't helpful. Where does that leave you?
Same mission, no plan.
What can I do?
Just keep him alive till I can figure something out.
We'll do our best.
Michelle...
Thanks.
I know you delayed your return home for us.
Anything for you, Mike.
Besides, home isn't much these days.
Every day, we keep handing out food and water,
and every day, more folks show up hungry.
After we pull out, then what?
Don't matter.
Unless we figure that shit out soon,
we'll all be in the same boat.
Hey, when you gonna get rid of that?
- My beard? - Beard?
The only thing on this planet that keeps growing
- is that bush on your face. - I'll tell you what,
I'll shave it off as soon as you can grow one on your head.
Mr. Clean.
Here, water that thing. Come on, man.
Okay, come. Let's go.
We are going to eat well tonight.
- Opa! - Opa! Opa!
Opa!
Whoo!
Opa! Opa!
Opa. Opa!

Consider that a warning.
If you enter into Turkey's territorial wa...
Did you hear the siren call?
I was just curious.
And what do you learn from the voices you hear?
That it's gonna get worse before it gets better.
_
Fletch...
Lieutenant Burk, you're relieved, sir.
- Thank you much. - You're very welcome.
Later, bro.
Hey! Hola!
You guys speak English? You gotta keep the kids back.
Sí. Sí, okay.
Come on. This is what I'm talkin' about, fellas.
Está bien.
Commander...
Cam! Cam!
Cam! Cam! What happened?!
I'm sorry! I tried to warn him!
What happened?!
- Cover me! - Aah!
Hang in there! Come on!
- What's going on? - There's been an attack on the base.
Omar.
Uhh!
Nolan, get on the 240!
Sentries, on the rail!
They're boxing us in.
- Cut the fuel line. Protect the ship. - Yes, sir!
Security, we have multiple breaches.
Seal all entries. Lock down the medical wing.
You guys, with me.
What... what's going on?
We have a situation, Doc. Shelter in place.
Uhh!
Hey, hey, hey. It's gonna be okay.
Hey, Doc! Doc!
The barracks.
Kara!
Who's left?! Who's left?!
There's more!
All clear. Move!
Cheng is down! Corpsman! Corpsman!
You're gonna be okay. Doc! Doc!
- Brother, you're gonna be okay. - I got him. I got him. I'm here.
- Hold on. - I'm sorry, man.
No, no, no, man. Hey, hey, hey.
You're fine, big brother. It's nothing. Okay?
It's nothing. He's got... he's got frags
- all over his body. - Okay. Got it. I got him.
- I have... - Fix his leg, Doc!
- I got him. He's gonna be okay. - Come on! Come on.
Uhh! Aah! Aah!
Uhh!
- Uhh! - Aah!
Uhh!
Aah!
Mahmoud.
He could lose his leg by the time he gets to Germany.
We don't know that.
Burk, he's alive.
When is it gonna stop, Danny?
We're the good guys, right?
I don't know, man.
12 Americans dead,
another 28 seriously injured.
19 locals killed,
including 10 children.
And I've lost yet another dear friend.
All this mayhem...
Just a diversion for that animal to waltz in,
slaughter the only lead we had on those seeds.
Omar had at least one man on the inside. One of our locals.
Probably bought him off when he found out we were here.
Mahmoud...
Mahmoud, do you know who I am?
We are not tribesmen, but I trusted you as a brother.
Made a mistake, but it's not too late to fix it.
Where are the seeds?
Anything?
He's praying.
Mahmoud...
Mahmoud, you are a warrior, but you're stupid.
It's not your fault your people are savages.
Do you want to die like them now?
Or do you want a second chance from me?
You will help me?
Yes. Of course. I swear it.
What'd he say?
"Eat shit."
What's this?
Something on his wrist.
Poor dumb Mahmoud. You're so, um...
uh... "sentimental."
Aah!
Here.
Didn't see it before because of the bandages and I.V. tubes.
- Two lions? - Yes, of course.
He said "lion" before.
That's what I thought I heard. What he said was "uharan."
It's a Berber word... "two lions."
- In Arabic, it's "wahran." - Oran.
The seeds are headed to Algeria.
And Omar's going to get them back.
Not if we get them first.
_
Alex.
Alex? Alex!
You are leaving.
I can see it in your eyes.
Alex told me that I couldn't run from destiny.
I left home because I was confused...
between justice and revenge.
And now?
I want both.
It's about a half-day journey to the Strait of Gibraltar
and another 242 nautical miles to Oran.
Well, if we can get as far as Nador, Morocco,
we'll be within helo range,
and we can have boots on the ground in Oran by nightfall,
best time to set up an operation.
I concur. That's the plan.
Commander.
I don't see any bags.
Sir, you've lost your Cheng, and we're down a TAO.
No one knows the combat systems like I do.
Our family's joining the remaining base personnel
on the last plane to Norfolk.
Respectfully request to join ship's company.
We understand the risks, sir, and the rules.
Please, sir.
Let me serve.
Very well. Get to your post.
I want a report on all weapons and guidance systems by 1000.
Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
Gettin' the band back together.
I'm a big fan.
Listen, Joe.
I know it hasn't been easy for ya.
Cutbacks with the Navy, you didn't get back your command.
I just want you to know I appreciate you being...
I know you do, Captain.
Right now, the mission's more important that my command.
We do this right, save the world,
there'll be plenty of ships.
Until then, I've got your back.
OOD, Time to find those seeds.
Let's get the hell outta here.

- Yeah? - Hey.
Aah!
