Russian Federal Forces have the Chechens completely pinned down.

In a bid to free the British and American hostages from the Chechens, the

Russians have launched an all -out offensive.

With detachments using hostages as human shields, Russian efforts are being

drastically restricted.

Maslow Mosaic has been shot!

In a bid to free the British and American hostages from the Chechens, the

Russians have launched an all -out offensive.

Mosbarmazeev. Is he dead?

Or is he alive?

Do we care?

The Russian federal government care.

As do our government.

The Russians have asked for our help in finding the man or his body.

They took at least two in the chest.

What makes them think you survived?

They don't.

The Chechens do.

The Chechens are organized into tieps, or clans.

The Mazayevs, led by Mozart, are particularly resilient, mobile, and

They move from forest to town to village, never staying in one place long

for an effective strike to be mounted against them.

Finding their base will be a priority.

They've continually attacked a British oil pipeline.

It runs through Chechnya and neighbouring Ingushetia, connecting

fields to the Black Sea.

So it's about oil. It's where our efforts will be concentrated.

This was a failed attempt by Russian federal forces to extract Western

The man in orange is a British oil worker.

The fifth to go missing or be killed in the last 18 months. And that makes it

our fight.

Mosbah is wanted dead or alive.

And the threat from the Mazayev clan is to be eliminated.

Who's the girl?

Her name is Shakyat Mazayev.

And she's the sister of Ahmed Mavzar. This is Vasily Abramov of Spetsnaz Gru.

Russian special forces.

Bloody ain't he?

Do not underestimate the determination and the bravery of the Mazayev clan.

They fight for freedom.

They fight for ideals.

It gives them an edge.

We'll be working closely with Vassili, Spetsnaz, and the Russian Federal Army.

Who calls the shots?

Working with Henry.

We leave in six hours.

Tea?

i didn't see anything yes please nothing no

no please please

Okay, big breath.

Let's go, let's go.

You've compromised us.

Yeah, well, I couldn't let him kill the poor bastard.

We might have to kill the poor bastard anyway.

Yeah, right.

Yeah, right.

Ahmed, might I? Yeah, definitely Ahmed.

You have a name?

Alex.

Alex Johnson.

I work for the oil company. This is very bad news.

Ahmed is Moussa's brother. This will make the Moussa very angry. Good.

That's what we want.

Anger makes them reckless.

And if mobs are alive, they'll stay in the area, won't they?

What did you do to upset the locals?

We were surveying an area to the east.

We came across these men. How many?

It's too fast.

Three, four, a dozen. We have bodyguards with us and they're all dead.

At least it's contact.

Yes, well, our task is reconnaissance to establish visual contact with the

enemy. Well, they're here. Mission accomplished. Let's go. Yes, well, we

don't know where the base is. Take that movement.

We have to move now.

What are you doing? I'm going to kill him.

If the clan find two bodies, then maybe they'll be satisfied.

They'll hear the shot.

No, no, no. Don't look at me.

I know where the messiahs are.

I can lead you to their base.

Not that moment.

All right, you carry him.

We'll make for the ERV. Move.

The ambush he ran into could have been meant for us.

Loyalty around here is as cheap as the vodka.

Found your mom?

Ahmed. Is he dead?

Oh, the learned is a heavy sleeper.

Sleep work.

Professional.

Your intelligence tells you the Brits are cool.

I got news for you, boy.

They're here.

Then we hunt them down.

I'm picking up voices.

RV on me.

There's a lot of activity. They're definitely on to us in their clothing

What do you propose now?

Dave, you take the team plus the gimp back to the ERV.

Ed, you take a position on the high ground.

We're digging in.

You don't know numbers or firepower.

The two of us can lay down covering fire to get you to the ERV.

The way we're going is going to get us all killed.

Here, cover him in that.

Why don't we all make a stand?

We can take them on.

No, mate.

Now move!

Coming this way.

Movement ahead.

Between us and the ERV.

Don't think we're going to have to go to the ground.

What, with the camp?

No compromises.

Gag him.

Nothing personal, but if I hear one squeak...

And here? What do you have there?

Company coming at six.

You're six o 'clock.

Got that.

Got that.

Can we get them back to the ERP? Where are you going?

Hunting.

Bug out, right side.

What took you so long?

You've been treated as shadows.

Yes, I have.

How can you tell?

I can.

I'm sorry, Sapient.

Show me the body.

Might be the last.

The last of the Messiahs. We were ambushed. Who should pay for this

Sonny?

You know, if someone thought, gave away our position, an example has to be

made.

Take a good look, people of Galashki.

Take a good look at your fallen comrades.

Chechen soul has once more been soaked with the blood of the Mazayevs.

Who he has not shamed to the Mazayevs.

Who betrayed their country and their clan.

We are nothing if we are not together.

Soviet, no.

Have you opened your mouth, old man?

Open it now.

You can't do this.

You can't buy loyalty with force.

Killing the old man will make no difference.

Sometimes fear is the only way.

These people are not stupid.

The old are young enough to remember Stalin.

Ahmed's dead.

Oh, please.

Don't pretend you care for Sarpy as a benefit.

Your cold is bigger than the life of one man.

You know nothing of Chechen politics.

No, but I know plenty about the politics of South Almar.

You put a bullet through the back of both his knees, that'll serve as a

reminder.

We'll show them we are fighting of no one.

The old man doesn't understand.

He thinks you saved his life.

No fecker smiles at me.

I've got half of my troop missing out there.

You better tell us what you know.

We were attacked somewhere around here.

They were coming from the north.

Ms. I .S.? Look, we have to travel with armed guards.

I didn't stop to ask.

You said you knew where their base was.

I said what I had to say to stay alive.

He wanted to kill me.

He wasn't the only one. Is that true?

Yeah, sure.

What about your liaison in the village?

I don't know what you're talking about. We know how the oil companies work.

You must have a contact.

Okay, okay.

I do have a contact.

He was supposed to travel with us, but he was spooked by the rumours.

What rumours?

About Movzar?

Some say he's alive.

Some say he's dead.

Akeem, my contact, says the Russians have him. No one will believe anything

they see a body.

Forget Movzar. We should be going back in there and getting the lights out.

Louis, we're trying to make an assessment here, all right?

What's the assessment?

We've been here five minutes. We've already been compromised.

Oi, button it and get out.

It's me.

Thank you.

Just for that.

What?

They love you.

They love Pippin the puppet.

And if it stops even one of them from picking up a landmine and blowing their

arm off, it's worth it.

Why do you do this? For God.

For them.

For me.

And because I thought I had to do something, something other than the

You don't look like a nun.

Come on.

We need to be on that road and across the border before nightfall.

Concentrate on that.

You calm down yet?

Sir.

I understand your frustration, Louis.

We've lost a lot of men recently.

With respect, sir, we didn't lose them.

They're dead.

You know, maybe Heno wouldn't have sent us back if it wasn't for having a woman

in the troop.

Are you questioning Heno's judgment?

If they're alive, they'll make their way back here. If they're dead, there's

nothing we can do about it.

Louie, shut your whinge in. I can hear you from here.

Hello?

Shit! I had a pony on you not making it.

I thought you'd be pleased to see me.

We took the picture S group.

North 5, Flix, West 3, back south 10.

This is calling.

They're expecting us.

No doubt about it.

Well, at least we know they're somewhere near Galashki. That narrows it down to

about ten clicks squared.

It's still a large area.

We could always use Alex Johnson.

How? His contact must know something for it.

After all, he had the sense to stay away.

True.

He must have knowledge of numbers, armaments, defences.

It's worth a try.

All we have to do is to convince Mr Johnson.

No, no way.

I nearly had my hand off.

You'd be escorted by a troop of my men, posing as oil workers.

I don't care.

I'm going home. All you have to do is help our operative establish contact

Akim. What? You jokers. No.

Me.

Perhaps Mr.

Johnson has spent too long in Russia.

Where are you going with this?

Well, despite the dangers, he continues to work here.

Why?

You cannot appeal to his sense of loyalty or fairness.

No, his interests lie elsewhere.

Money.

The federal government is offering a substantial reward for the capture of

Mosbah Mazayef, dead or alive.

None of these targets are concealed!

None of them are moving and none of them are firing back!

And yet some of them are still standing!

You weren't kidding when you told me that these were our recruits, were you?

What will it take for you to betray me, huh?

This isn't your fight.

You can go home, back to South Armagh.

You know, I came here to buy guns.

I found you.

Changed everything.

Why is it so quiet?

Wait.

Hey!

Just keep it nice and relaxed.

Kathy. Looks like we have a reception committee.

What in the name of the Lord's going on here?

Take me back with you.

It's not safe anymore.

I could get shot for talking to you. I'm talking to you.

Please, Mr. Johnson.

I can work for the company.

I can play it good.

I asked you a question. Please, please.

It's all right, madam. We're from the oil company.

Everything's under control.

Good day to you.

Kathy. Well, I want an explanation, and it better be a good one.

Like I said, we're from the oil company.

We're just doing the survey.

I demand to know on whose authority you carry those guns.

As I said, we're from your company. We're just doing a survey.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Everything's under control.

I demand to know on whose authority you carry those guns.

These people are entitled to walk the streets of their very own village

the presence of a foreign militia.

Johnson!

Would you shoot a nun?

Ray! Get Kathy!

I'm here.

I'm a witness.

Arkham's dead.

Kathy's been kidnapped.

And Alex Johnson is lost in the woods.

What do you do for an encore?

How about I punch you in the head?

Come on now. No, leave it. Smithy, we weren't there. We couldn't make the

You did well to avoid a bloodbath. Have I walked into a wrong... There's nothing

we can do at this stage without compromising the whole mission. We're

compromised. She won't talk.

It is simply when, not if. If she had the balls to take it on, she'd have the

balls to carry it out.

You and I both know everybody talks. Look, we stick to the mission.

Tomorrow, first light. I want Blue Troop to recce the area east of Galashki. If

she gives away our location, we are at the mercy of the rebels.

Now we move our men, we move them now.

And we have six en masse. You may as well send them a telegraph inviting them

attack.

We increase security.

Secure the perimeter and double stag. Will do, boss.

You are supposed to be working with us. You think I'd deliberately put the lives

of my men at risk. This is the way we do things.

I am not impressed.

So much for your united front, Henry.

You know I don't trust him.

But he does have a point.

My losing Cathy jeopardizes the entire operation.

I take full responsibility for that, boss.

Do you think she's pretty?

Do you?

Don't get your hopes up, Eugene.

It's a question, not a proposal.

What am I supposed to do with her?

I think she's Emily Six.

Not without her, she's military intelligence.

Why do you think this?

That's why she's looking at me.

How?

You're jealous.

How does she look at you?

She recognizes me.

What's the chance of that?

If I'm right, she'll know where the Brits are based.

She'll know how many of them there are.

What kind of firepower they have.

And if you're wrong... Maybe

I

should have gone instead of Cassie.

You don't look like a geologist.

I just don't think it would have happened. Well, if you'd been there.

More to the point, why are all their names Yevs?

Eh?

Makayev? Dakayev?

Japayev? Yeah, all the Russians are itches and ovs.

Dikov? Chekov?

Abranovich? Not forgetting the skis, of course.

Dostoevsky?

Chelsky?

Wine?

Water, please.

During the Second World War...

Stalin got it into his head that somehow we Chechens were cooperating with the

Nazis.

You know what he did?

He exiled the entire population to Kazakhstan.

Imagine sending the entire population of a country into exile.

The British tried it with us.

Over a quarter of the population died.

My grandfather died on the journey.

My mother and her mother were only allowed to return once Stalin himself

died.

I'm more interested in recent history.

It's only a matter of time before Chechnya is free.

Mozart.

Is he dead?

That's a strange question for a geologist, for it.

You said it's alive.

Here.

Within me.

You see, he was the man who dared to dream.

To me, a brother, but to other people, he was a god.

So he is dead.

You know, a geologist.

What are you?

A historian.

Funny.

Listen, I suggest we use this as a bargaining tool. Negotiate with the

for the release of political prisoners.

She spread intelligence.

She's got information.

Information we can use.

Information on intelligence operations in the North, in my country, in my war.

I'm a geologist.

Salim.

We have a surprise for you.

We know who you are.

We know what you are doing in Galashki.

And I don't know if there's a price on my brother's body.

Alex?

Alex!

You know where the British are based, don't you?

I told you.

I told you already.

You showed us on a map, didn't you?

Common SAS men are in my country.

I'm a geologist.

Perhaps the night in the throat helped your memory.

Tell him either eat or shut up. But you cannot take on the British army.

We are not taking on the British army.

Even if the whole of the ICS regiment was in Chechnya, the only number in the

hundreds.

The girl is valuable.

Even more so if she is who we think she is.

Surely serves the cause better.

Do not presume to tell me what says the cause, what doesn't.

Perhaps it's love clouding your judgment.

What did you say?

You're very close to the Irishman. I'm closer still to my country.

We should cut our losses.

Move deep into the mountains.

Regroup there and then negotiate with the Russians the release of this woman.

It's too late.

Just get off her!

I'm almost 500.

11 o 'clock.

Shit!

Where's your outer perimeter?

Nice of you to join us. Well, you're a bit tough, Dad!

I'm going to take it out.

We'll cover you. I might go.

Go!

We need an aerial.

An airstrike.

All right.

You cover me.

Copy. Cover me!

Stupid or brave, England?

You stupid hombre.

Negative. I have no visual.

No, no, move, move.

Come on, move.

Come on.

He's calling in air support.

What a bunch of women.

All right, lads.

Tactical mature.

I hit him hard inside.

I'm getting the hell out.

Happy now?

Your little girl

talked, Mr. Dempsey.

You have no evidence to support that.

Then what do you call this?

We will find Mavzar's body.

Hello? Search him.

Stop!

Did you look under the body?

Dave, Ed, back off.

Did you hear a click?

What? Did you hear a click?

No.

Stand by. One, two, three.

For the sake and sorry.

Bollocks.

Even mistake to make.

Don't lose your head over it.

Helo! We got a live one!

Keep quiet if you want to leave.

We're getting out of here.

The situation, gentlemen, has changed.

The rules of engagement are such that we're allowed to make a counter

strike. Russian intelligence confirms what our Chechen friend told us.

Mazayev's HQ is in a diffused gas work three and a half clicks east of

There are three main buildings designated bronze, silver and gold.

Our mission is to find and identify Movzar Mazayev.

Sapiat Mosiev is now leading the clan, so if we find her, she'll take us to her

brother. Our informer mentioned an Irishman named Lavelle.

Intelligence believe him to be Eugene Lavelle, which would explain the provost

style tactics.

Yeah, Lavelle's of interest to us, but not at the expense of our primary

We will attack from clock -faced positions.

Sean Smith's blue troop to come in at nine o 'clock here.

Red troop at three o 'clock.

Russian regulars at six.

Space method 12.

Designated green and white troops respectively.

I want to make it clear.

Sapient is to be taken alive if possible.

And what about Cathy?

Our targets are Movzar and Sapient in that order. Everything else is

Where are you taking me?

Why? Do you think you can escape?

Given half a chance.

I used to be a farmer.

In another lifetime, they thought of it as exchange.

What happened to your farm?

The old company took it.

And then the Russians took my son.

I was slow to join the rebellion, but my son was one of the first.

Only 19 made him join the Mazayas.

Now he's been held in Siberia.

Just one of many of the missing.

So you want to exchange me for your son?

I fear he's already been exchanging.

Blood!

It's telling him it has to be.

Tell him he's taken the girl for only one reason, to party for his son.

The jungle will be crawling with federal troops, and as I asked, we hit him hard

last night.

I shall send him to my best man.

Salim, if you were to take me to the British authorities, we would be able to

put pressure on the federal government for news of your son.

Why should I trust you?

Because I'm military intelligence.

I already know that. Why do you think I've taken this risk?

But you've acted alone.

Not entirely.

That piat doesn't seem a forgiving type.

Listen.

It's one thing to know that my son is alive.

Quite another to betray my country, my people.

There's no love lost between you and Lavelle, is there?

You know him?

He was part of an active IRA cell.

Then he was more of an intelligence officer.

So why is he here?

He came to buy arms.

He stays with Zapiat.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

How far you go now? I'm staying with you. I have to do what is right for my

people. I can't afford to make mistakes like my brothers did.

I lost them both. Are you too stupid to understand that I don't want to lose you

too? Are you too stupid to understand that I'm not going to leave you or

you?

Stop!

Come on!

I think they're onto us.

That's Blue Troop in position.

Any sign of Greenski?

We've lost the element of surprise.

We could go in before White Troop in position.

We wait.

It's your show.

Doesn't mean we'll let you run it, though.

This is bollocks.

You still learning?

Yeah, got that one.

Sniper. Bronze tower.

Roger that. I official an X -ray sniper position.

Sniper Silver Gantry South.

Roger that.

Sniper Bronze Pipe East.

Roger Sniper Goldruth.

Roger.

We've got way much longer.

I'll take Bronze Tower and Silver Gantry South.

Roger that.

They think the attack is going to come from the north.

Russians are going to cop it big time.

That'll teach them to be late.

Okay.

White troop in position.

In 10. Local signs, I have control.

10.

Shots. 5.

Sniper team, stand by.

2.

1. Stand by.

0. Sniper teams, you are clear for shot.

Short on silver can choose that.

Take cover!

Take cover!

Dotted. They come for you.

No, they come from up there.

How many?

Two men.

So if I can die.

It's a plan, but there's no real future in it.

Stupid bastard's gonna slaughter!

You have to turn the gun around!

It's a proper way out, but we have to go.

We have to go now.

Go on.

They're making a run for it.

Louis, Becca, get after them.

Ain't no gab.

Sayonara.

We need to be careful.

All call signs cease fire.

Repeat, all call signs cease fire.

Social buildings, no capital.

You!

You let them get away!

Your federal troops screwed up, and you know it. You'll find nothing!

No mobster, no sapient, nothing!

You should have more faith.

Come on.

you'd got lost.

What, me?

Nah.

By the way, ages for a 36 bus, eh?

Your bus has just arrived, boy.

So sorry.

They're out to Grozny.

Why?

Trying to get a lift.

Salim, listen.

It doesn't have to be like this.

We can come to some sort of arrangement.

Salim!

Here?

Is it here?

Sapiet?

Look at me.

Is this where Movzar's body is buried?

There's a cellar in this house.

His body.

But his ideals.

He's legend you can never bury.

You see, my brother was loved.

He will not be forgotten.

Yes, well, when the belly is full, the memory grows weak.

You think you can buy loyalty with food?

No.

But we can buy time.

Time is all we need.

This was never your war.

Don't try to run.

Okay, stop.

Get them!

Stop

or we shoot!

Come and move!

Louie?

Pleasure. Hey, nice shooting.

Thanks.

How did you know... Let's just say your boss and I have an understanding.

You okay?

Farmer, Henno.

Farmer.
