Reece and Danny stand aside as E.O.D. CHIEF CROWLEY (30s) examines the TRIP WIRE. His lights trace the thin filament to the ceiling, where it splits into a NETWORK OF WIRES that disappear into the four smaller tributary tunnels... Reece shines a light down one of the side tunnels and discovers they aren’t just lined with one tripwire, but a whole SPIDER-WEB... This entire section is wired to blow. Reece raises his left hand and gives a signal that means I.E.D. Then he points back the way they came... TIME. TO. GO. The Platoon turns and starts to double time it back out... INT. WASHINGTON D.C. WAR ROOM -- DAY A DIGITAL MISSION CLOCK ticks away... It’s all too quiet. SEC DEF HARTLEY What’s happening, Admiral? ADMIRAL PILLAR (INTO A PHONE) Hammerhead, pass SITREP. INT. U.S.S. AMERICA -- T.O.C. -- NIGHT Commander Cox stands over his Techs, watching the SAT FEED... COMMANDER COX (INTO PHONE) INT. TUNNELS -- NIGHT Tension mounting, Donny, Mallory and Zeke, and Reece tail the line of SEALs hurrying back down the tunnels... Finally away from the I.E.D.’s, Reece re-opens his comm link. REECE (INTO COMMS) November Zero One to Hammerhead. We are negative on the Access Point. They enter the stretch of tunnel where LeCrone is stationed. LECRONE What’s up, sir? REECE We’re moving to secondary-- Before Reece can finish the sentence... KRAT-RAT-RAT-RAT!!! GUNFIRE TEARS THROUGH LECRONE’S BODY. Out of nowhere... TWO DOZEN SYRIAN LOYALISTS flood in from the fork in the tunnel, blocking off the SEALs’ escape route... Possible counter measures detected, sir. They’ve gone dark on comms.
