The story

Inserted overnight via helicopter, the four-man team approaches Shah's last known location.

Though the team identifies Shah, they are discovered by local villagers, one of whom carries a walkie-talkie—believing that the villagers are Taliban sympathisers, the SEALs debate setting them free or killing them.

However, the villagers alert the Taliban, who pursue the team.
