The inadvertent lead Clay got from Farraj, that Ray is aboard a ship, enables Davis to deduce the freighter on its way to Syria. Aboard, having seen Zied decapitated in what he expected to be 'mere' fake executions, Ray now promises to be important and valuable, but his tormentors torture even worse and seem to want a scripted 'confession' at all cost. During a hopeless escape attempt, he managed to steal a smartphone and despite the near-empty battery it suffices to enable Davis to track him down. By then the ship has docked in a Russian-guarded military port. As it's no longer a rescue at sea but in enemy territory, lieutenant commander Eric Blackburn is forced to rein in Bravo's eager till he gets clearance from the Pentagon, given the diplomatic risks. Ray is rescued in a bloody raid last minute, already badly injured.
