The review contains spoilers for 'SEAL Team' Season 3 Episode 6 — 'All Along the Watchtower: Part 2'

There is no place for emotions at war but a loss is a loss. Stronghearted and brave, warriors may not twitch at death, but look deep into their eyes, and it is right there. The latest episode of 'SEAL Team' Season 3 is as intense as it can get and shows the Bravo Team's encounter with death.

Titled 'All Along the Watchtower: Part 2', episode six begins right where the last episode ended and Ray (Neil Brown Jr.) and Clay (Max Thieriot) are trapped in the compound.

The Bravo Team tries to take Ambassador Marsden (Khandi Alexander) to the safety zone when their exit vehicles are blown up with no way to escape. Executing Plan B, the team rushes back into the compound basement to protect the civilians while Jason delegates positions to his team.

Back home, Lisa Davis (Toni Trucks) and the team are on their toes looking for a way out for the team. Ray and Clay head to the roof with a few other team members as Eric (Judd Lormand) keeps a tab on their activities.

Vehicles come towards their walls and send rockets and bombs into the compound. The team is vigilant and fights back with resilience but the enemy regroups to target them again. A terrorist grabs Ray from the back and the two have a major tussle after which Jason shoots the enemy. 

On the roof, Clay and Sonny (AJ Buckley) talk about their disapproval for new member Vic (Lucca De Oliveira). Sonny is also dealing with his grief and plans to get a dog. He says how he is never going to get serious with a woman again, but Clay has no idea it is Davis on Sonny's mind. 



 

Several men surround the team and gather around the perimeter. One of them has a GPS and the Bravo Team needs to assess the tracker and locate the way the men got in. When the team goes to meet the ambassador and her people, she is adamant that she doesn't want to leave yet.

Jason gives her an eight-minute deadline and heads to see Mandy. She figures out that the string of numbers are GPS coordinates. With firing and alarms going off at every step, the team has a long survival struggle. 

Amid all the action and drama, the scene where Clay jumps on the gun with mortars and shoots a dozen men will make you hold your breath. Back inside, the ambassador asks Jason to give her a chance to make one phone call.

"I cannot leave without making one more attempt at trying. I need to use the phone," she says. Clay supports her wish to talk to the tribal leaders. Finally, Jason complies and says, "Five minutes." She convinces the tribal leaders and they agree to stand down. 



 

At dusk, a missile launches through the sky and hits the top of the compound. The ambassador gets hurt and Clay carries her down towards their exit vehicle. The team gets out but Lisa notices they are being followed by a trailing vehicle. The enemy begins to fire at them.

Vic shoots back at them from the back while Jason speeds up. They manage to outwit and shoot the enemies but Mandy informs the team that the injured ambassador has died.

There is deadpan silence as they head back. Jason is particularly quiet while Clay appreciates Vic's efforts. At home, Ray and Clay head for a drink to remember the ambassador. "She was different, wasn't she?" Ray tells him.

There is a lot on the Bravo Team's plate and it has strong repercussions on their minds. With double intensity and violence, this episode is the best until now and clearly not meant for the faint-hearted. Get set for some real turbulence and power as the Navy SEALs get into action mode.
