Terminal, The - pilot

7.

EXT./INT. U.S.S. AMERICA -- NIGHT 10 miles east, a U.S. AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT SHIP cuts across quiet seas. Inside the mission’s T.O.C. (tactical operations center), Commander Cox, Master Chief Inbruck and COMMUNICATION TECHS watch over Reece’s team via DRONE and SAT FEEDS. Reece’s RADIO FEED plays on digital SPEAKERS. REECE (OVER THE SPEAKERS) External Security, 100 yards south. KANG (OVER THE SPEAKERS) Alpha Two Four copies. On the feeds, the two man SNIPER TEAM (our sniper KANG and his spotter JANSEN) split off and scramble up the steep bank. EXT. SYRIAN COMPOUND -- SHORELINE -- NIGHT At the mouth of a LARGE DRAINAGE PIPE, A SEAL named LECRONE uses an EXOTHERMIC TORCH to slice through RUSTED BARS. DONNY MITCHELL (the SEAL prone to pissing in bottles) catches the last bar and slips it into the water. Reece steps forward, eyeing the pitch black tunnel warily. REECE (QUIETLY) Boozer, on relay. Rest on me. We switch to NIGHT-VISION. Boozer stands guard at the mouth of the tunnel, while Reece takes his men inside... INT. WASHINGTON D.C. WAR ROOM -- DAY Hartley sips black coffee, cool as can be, watching the SEAL team’s HEAT SIGNATURES disappear underground one at a time. EXT. SYRIAN COMPOUND -- NIGHT Kang and Jansen set up their SNIPER’S HIDE in a pile of LOW BRUSH. SOUP’S SCOPE POV: scans the compound’s dark facade. KANG (INTO COMMS) Alpha Two Four is set. Compound is dark. No movement.

EXT. SYRIAN COASTLINE -- MOUTH OF TUNNEL -- NIGHT Boozer watches the gunboat idling just off shore. BOOZER (INTO COMMS) Alpha Two Six has eyes on Fast Track.
