Reporter: WKN sources at the Pentagon today

heatedly argued that no American plans

were imminent to capture Vladimir Antonov,

the reclusive Chechen warlord whose reputation far exceeds

that of most militant extremists.

WKN was bluntly informed that if any plans were underway,

they would remain official and for their eyes only.

FBI sources were as adamant.

This is WKN, news on the hour.

- Man: SIR? - WHAT IS IT, STAFF?

YOU WANTED TO SEE THESE.

YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I DID.

THIS IS C.O. TO TEAM.

LOOKS CLEAR. PROCEED.

Remember, we want him alive.

COPY C.O. GREEN LIGHT.

GIVE ME THE ADMIRAL.

HEY DIDDLE DIDDLE, STRAIGHT UP THE MIDDLE.

GO.

IT'S QUIET, HUH?

YEAH.

HOPE THAT CHILD-KILLIN', MAN-WHORE, PUNK-ASS IS HOME.

IT'S JUST A PRECAUTION, ADMIRAL.

I UNDERSTAND.

BUT THEY'RE AIRBORNE.

GOOD. YEAH.

WHO THE HELL IS THAT?

NO, NO, NOT YOU, SIR. ALL RIGHT.

GOTCHA.

TEAM "A," WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

C.O., STRIKE CONFIRMS TARGET AT HOME.

C.O., this is "B" team. We have the target.

WHAT THE FUCK? "B" TEAM, YOU NEAR "A" TEAM?

Negative, C.O. Why?

LIEUTENANT? "B" TEAM SAYS THEY HAVE HIM.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

I SEE HIM. THIRD FLOOR, RIGHT.

Target is moving.

SWEET JESUS.

HE'S DOING A WINSTON CHURCHILL ON US.

DECOYS. HE'S USING DECOYS.

[ clicks ]

PULL 'EM BACK. PULL 'EM BACK, STAFF!

TEAM "A," TEAM "B," PULL BACK!

- ANDERSEN, PULL BACK! - PULL BACK!

OH SHIT. PULL BACK!

[ screaming ]

[ whimpering ]

PULL BACK!

PULL BACK NOW! IT'S A TRAP!

WE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.

COVER!

[ groaning ]

OH MY GOD.

C.O., WE'RE PINNED. THEY'VE GOT US PINNED.

WE NEED SUPPORT.

NOW, ADMIRAL. NOT LATER-- NOW.

POSITION HAS BEEN COMPROMISED.

THANK YOU, SIR.

- WE GOT TO TAKE THIS THING OUT BEFORE IT KILLS US ALL. - I'LL COVER, SIR.

GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!

GO, GO, GO!

[ groaning ]

APACHE'S AIRBORNE. THREE MINUTES, SIR.

PULL BACK!

SHIT.

[ distant gunfire ]

'BRO, I CAN SEE HIM.

I GOT A CLEAR SHOT. WHAT DO I DO?

ALIVE, P.K. ALL I KNOW IS THEY WANT HIM ALIVE.

NOBODY SAID SHIT ABOUT NOT WOUNDING HIM.

MOTHERFUCKER!

P.K.!

SON OF A BITCH.

[ shouting in Chechen ]

HANG IN THERE.

C.O....

C.O., THIS IS "A" COMPANY. OUR--

SHIT! OUR MEN, C.O.

They're taking our men.

ARE YOU GETTING THIS, C.O.?

C.O., ARE YOU GETTING THIS?

GO.

SHIT.

- IT'S NOT HIM. - GOD DAMN IT!

C.O.: WHY CAN'T HE HEAR ME, STAFF?

WE'RE TRYING, SIR, WE'RE TRYING.

GODDAMN ELECTRONICS.

Soldier: INCOMING!

Reporter: Flags were half-mast at the Pentagon this morning

as reports confirm that 11 U.S. Marines

were killed and two captured

in an attempt to locate and secure Vladimir Antonov.

Latest reports confirm that the operation had been led

by incorrect local intelligence,

and that Antonov had escaped uninjured.

The two captured Marines' whereabouts are at present unknown.

Family members of the deceased...

C.O.: THE LEFT, JONES.

WATCH HIM WITH THE RIGHT, KEEP UP THE LEFT.

COLONEL ANSLOW, THIS IS MR. FLANDERS FROM THE EMBASSY.

UP. THE LEFT, JONES.

GOOD FLIGHT?

I DON'T FLY VERY WELL.

DON'T SAIL TOO WELL, EITHER.

- YOU GOING TO BE SICK? - OH NO, NO, NO.

GOOD. YOU A FAN OF THE NOBLE ARTS, MR. FLANDERS?

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'VE NEVER UNDERSTOOD THE ATTRACTION

IN WATCHING TWO GROWN MEN IN A RING

TRYING TO SMASH EACH OTHER'S CRANIUMS IN.

THAT'S A PITY, MR. FLANDERS,

BECAUSE WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND

IS HOW BOXING AND LIFE HAVE SUCH A SIMILAR SYMMETRY.

HOW TO ESTABLISH ONE'S OWN STRENGTHS,

AND DEMONSTRATE AN OPPONENT'S WEAKNESSES.

YOU MUST KNOW WHEN TO ATTACK AND WHEN TO DEFEND.

KEEP THE LEFT UP, JONES!

COME WITH ME.

- THANK YOU, STAFF. - YES, SIR.

COLONEL, I HAVE BEEN SENT BY THE FOREIGN SECRETARY

TO DISCUSS THE DELICATE NATURE OF YOUR ORDERS.

I TAKE IT THEY'VE APPROVED MY IDEA TO SAVE MY BOYS?

- BOYS? - CAPTURED MARINES, MR. FLANDERS.

MARINES KEATS AND KOSH.

I-IT'S ALL HERE.

I'LL READ IT LATER. DO WE GO FOR ANTONOV?

YES, WITH A LITTLE ASSISTANCE FROM THE RUSSIANS.

WHAT DO THE RUSSIANS GET?

CHECHNYA.

NOT MUCH OF A PROVINCE-- LOT OF SNOW AND YAKS.

BUT IF ANTONOV WAS ABLE TO FINANCE A BREAKAWAY STATE THERE,

WHO'S TO SAY HE COULDN'T DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE?

WHO KNOWS, MOSCOW COULD BE NEXT.

ANTONOV'S NETWORK GOES STRAIGHT TO THE TOP.

WE AGREE TO WORK WITH THE RUSSIANS,

WHAT'S TO STOP THEM FROM TELLING ANTONOV'S PEOPLE WE'RE COMING IN?

- GOLD. - GOLD?

AND LOTS OF IT.

IT'S ANTONOV'S STOCKPILE FROM HIS INTERESTS IN RACKETEERING,

PROSTITUTION, PORNOGRAPHY, DRUGS, MAFIA.

WHOEVER SAID CRIME DOESN'T PAY HAS NEVER MET OUR FRIEND MR. ANTONOV.

THE DEAL IS WE GET HIM, THE RUSSIANS GET THE GOLD.

- AND THE MARINES, OF COURSE. - O-OF COURSE.

36 HOURS, THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO EXTRICATE ANTONOV--

AND MY MEN.

A-A-AND YOUR MEN.

AFTER THAT, WE'LL HAVE NO OTHER OPTION BUT AN AIRSTRIKE.

YOU'RE TO REPORT YOUR PROGRESS DIRECTLY TO ME.

I'LL BE YOUR LIAISON WITH THE FOREIGN SECRETARY.

I TRUST I CAN TELL HIM WE HAVE YOUR FULL COOPERATION IN THIS MATTER?

YOU CAN.

GOOD.

AND IF I WERE YOU, I'D BE CAREFUL TO AVOID A REPEAT OF BOSNIA.

THE-- THE PRESIDENT HAD TO APOLOGIZE PERSONALLY

FOR THE CONDUCT OF THE MARINES, AND UH...

IF THE SAME THING WERE TO HAPPEN AGAIN

I DOUBT HE'D BE SO SUPPORTIVE.

YOU GONNA EAT THAT?

I DON'T KNOW. IT'S JUST KOSH AND KEATS.

I JUST CAN'T...

NO, NO, IT'S ALL YOU.

THEY'RE GIVING US A CHANCE TO BRING 'EM HOME, HAMMY.

- WHO YOU GOT? - GUILLY JUST FLEW IN.

- I GOT LARBY, WESTLUND. - WHEREABOUTS?

CHECHNYA. 36 HOURS.

I'M LOOKING FOR A GOOD CORPORAL WHO CAN KEEP THE MEN IN LINE.

YOU KNOW ANYONE?

CHECHNYA, HUH?

AT EASE.

SORRY I'M LATE, SIR.

HAVE A SEAT.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW,

THIS IS YOUR NEW SNIPER, CARLOS GUILLEN.

MEET A NEW PART OF YOUR ANATOMY, THE KALASHNIKOV.

- [ gun cocks ] - 30 ROUNDS, 762 BY .32 MILLIMETER.

THERE'S 50 MILLION IN THE WORLD, GENTLEMEN, SO SOMETHING MUST BE RIGHT.

- [ whispers ] THAT'S BULLSHIT. - IS THERE A QUESTION, CORPORAL?

YEAH, I WAS JUST POINTING OUT, SIR,

THAT I LIKE MY WEAPONS STAMPED, "MADE IN AMERICA," SIR.

ADAPT OR DIE.

YES, SIR.

AMMUNITION MAY BE CONSIDERED SOMETHING OF A LUXURY WHERE YOU ARE GOING.

DO NOT WASTE IT, AND COLLECT IT FROM YOUR ENEMY AT ANY OPPORTUNITY.

THERE WILL BE NO AIR SUPPORT, AND NO TIME TO WRITE TO MOTHER.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU CARRY.

Soldier: 73.

62.

92.

THE COORDINATES MATCH, LIEUTENANT.

WE'RE IN THE CORRECT PLACE. RIGHT ON THE BUTTON.

OKAY.

WELL, I SEE SNOW ON THE MOUNTAINS.

I SEE SEA GRASS.

I DON'T SEE ANY YAKS.

AND I DON'T SEE ANY--

[ man shouting Russian ]

WHAT THE HELL'S HE SAYING?

SOMETHING ABOUT SEEKING. HOLD ON A SECOND.

[ speaks Russian ]

- HE'S TALKING ABOUT HIDE AND SEEK. - [ scoffs ]

HOW VERY LUCKY THIS TIME WE'RE ON THE SAME SIDE, GENTLEMEN.

OH YEAH? WE GOT ANOTHER GAME IN AMERICA, MAJOR.

IT'S CALLED TAG. YOU'RE IT.

VERY EXCITING.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS WITH RUSSIAN WEAPONS.

I'M FLATTERED AND DEEPLY MOVED.

LET'S NOT GET CARRIED AWAY. IT'S A GUN.

[ speaking Russian ]

WHAT THE HECK'S HE SAYING?

HE WONDERED IF YOU KNOW WHERE THE TRIGGER IS.

WHY DON'T WE FIND OUT?

HAMBURGER. LIEUTENANT EVERETT,

U.S. MARINES.

MAJOR DMITRI KIRILENKO,

RUSSIAN SPECIAL FORCES. SIX YEARS IN CHECHNYA.

TWICE DECORATED FOR ACTIONS BEHIND ENEMY LINES.

NOW THAT WE ALL GOT DATES TO THE PROM,

WHAT DO WE DO NEXT?

WE WALK.

THIS?

- THIS IS IT? - YES.

MAJOR, WE WERE LED TO BELIEVE YOU HAD MORE MEN THAN THIS.

DON'T WORRY, IT'S OKAY.

YOU AWARE THAT WE ONLY HAVE 36 HOURS?

- YES. - HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT'LL TAKE TO GET THERE?

- LESS THAN 36 HOURS. - JESUS.

- DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE MARINES? - YES.

- MAJOR, ARE THEY STILL ALIVE? - YES.

- HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT, MAJOR? - MOSCOW LISTENS, SERGEANT.

WHY DON'T YOU AND YOUR COLLECTION OF COMRADES HERE

JUST POINT US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND WE'LL BE ON OUR WAY?

AND DO US ALL THE FAVOR, SAVE THE K.G.B. BULLSHIT.

SASHA.

THIS SHOULD BE FUN.

- CORPORAL. - LET'S MOVE!

Soldier: HAS ANYONE STOPPED TO ASK THEMSELVES THAT IF THEY CAN

SO EASILY KNOW WHERE ANTONOV IS,

HE PROBABLY KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE?

HOW THE HELL DOES KIRILENKO SUDDENLY BECOME OUR COMMANDING OFFICER?

SEARCH ME, LARBY. I'M JUST HERE FOR THE SCENERY.

- I WANTED TO TRAVEL. - IF YOU WANTED TO TRAVEL, YOU SHOULD BY A EUROPASS.

YEAH, WELL, EVERY STORY'S GOT TO HAVE AN ENDING.

- SHIT'S GOTTA HAPPEN. - NO, SHIT DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN.

YOU FOLLOW PROCEDURE, SERVE THE HIGHEST TRUTH--

SEE, SHIT TURNS OUT RIGHT.

IT'S ABOUT CONTROL, PRIVATE.

YOU SOUND LIKE YOUR OLD MAN AGAIN, 'BRA.

SIR, CONTACT FROM STRIKE.

AT LEAST THEY'RE MOVING.

[ gunfire ]

OH SHIT.

Everett: GUYS, GET YOUR ASS UP HERE!

WHAT DO WE DO? SHOULD I CALL IN FOR SUPPORT, LIEUTENANT?

WE'RE FUCKING SITTING DUCKS OUT HERE!

YOU DO THE GODDAMN JOB, LARBY! PESSIMISTIC SON OF A BITCH.

ESSEX! GATHER THE SQUAD UP!

- SPREAD THEM OUT THAT WAY. GO! - YES, SIR!

RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE, HUH? THEY GOT THE SATELLITES ON PLUTO?

COME ON, WE'RE GONNA GO THAT WAY!

GO! MOVE! MOVE!

GO!

Everett: RPGs, 2:00!

PUSH THEM IN, SIR!

NOW GET DOWN OR WE'RE BRATWURST!

I FUCKING HATE BRATWURST!

[ groans ] WATER. WATER.

[ speaking Russian ]

- HAMBURGER, COVER THAT RIDGE. - YES, SIR.

GIVE ME THAT SHIT.

WHERE THE HELL'S KIRILENKO?

- WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE RUSSIANS? - DYING, SIR!

ESSEX!

HOLY SHIT.

LIEUTENANT! WE GOT COMPANY!

SHIT! ESSEX!

[ screaming ]

ESSEX! CHASE, GET DOWN!

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN.

WESTLUND!

[ soldier gasping ]

Guillen: FLY, BABY, COME ON.

FLY. WINGS OF AN ANGEL.

WILL YOU TALK SOME GODDAMN SENSE FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE?!

- GOD DAMN IT. - WE GOT TO GET ESSEX.

WESTLUND'S OUT TRYING TO SAVE A GODDAMN RUSSIAN,

WHICH, IF YOU ASK ME, IS A STUPID THING TO GET KILLED OVER.

KNOW WHEN YOUR ENEMY HAS YOU SURROUNDED,

YOU RETREAT TO A DISTANCE IN ORDER TO FURTHER ADVANCE.

LIEUTENANT. JESUS CHRIST!

LIEUTENANT, GOT ANY OTHER IDEAS BESIDES CALLING IN AIR SUPPORT TO RETREAT?

- WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? - WHAT I'M TRAINED TO DO, LIEUTENANT.

GODDAMN IT, YOU PUT THAT THING AWAY.

- SIR, I STRONGLY-- - SERGEANT, THAT'S AN ORDER!

I'M NOT GOING TO LOSE THIS ONE.

YES, SIR.

RIGHT. GUILLY,

I GOT TWO SHOTS.

[ gunshot ]

[ screaming ]

COME ON!

GOD!

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING?!

I'M GOING FOR THE B.T.R. HAMMY, TAKE THE RIDGE AND COVER ME.

GUILLY, LARBY, COVER THE MAN. HE OWES ME DINNER.

BOY, I FEEL REAL SAFE WITH YOU, MAJOR.

NOT NOW. YOU SHOOT, I DRIVE.

GO! COME ON, GUYS, LET'S GO!

GET IN THE BACK. COME ON.

COME ON, LADIES, THIS AIN'T NO DANCE!

WHERE THE HELL'S ESSEX?

WE GOT TO GET ESSEX.

- WE'RE MOVING OUT, CORPORAL. - SIR, HE'S STILL ALIVE.

WE GOT TO KEEP MOVING.

COME ON, KEEP BREATHING. COME ON. HANG IN THERE.

LARBY, GET ME THE C.O.

YES, SIR.

Everett: AFTER YOU.

- Kirilenko: WE LEAVE IT? - YOU AND ME-- WE WALK.

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED BACK THERE.

AMBUSH?

YEAH, GODDAMN RIGHT IT WAS AN AMBUSH.

YOU LED US STRAIGHT INTO IT.

WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING, LIEUTENANT?

I'M IMPLYINGTHAT YOU LED US STRAIGHT INTO IT, MAJOR.

MOST OF MY MEN WERE KILLED BACK THERE.

I LOST CLOSE COMRADES IN THAT VALLEY, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

YEAH, I UNDERSTAND. I GOT TWO BACK THERE.

ONE'S DEAD AND ONE'S STILL POSSIBLY ALIVE.

WELL, WE'RE SOLDIERS, LIEUTENANT.

LOOK,

I HAVE ORDERS TO TAKE YOU TO ANTONOV IN MINUS 36 HOURS.

I NEVER DISOBEY AN ORDER, OKAY?

WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU EXPECT TO FIND HERE, HUH, LIEUTENANT?

DAY AT THE BEACH?

YOU COME, YOU GO?

DECISION IS YOURS.

Larby: LIEUTENANT!

I HAVE COLONEL ANSLOW.

YEAH. HERE HE IS.

C.O. TO STRIKE.

- IS YOUR LINE SECURE? OVER. - Negative, C.O.

STRIKE TAMPERED.

FRIENDLIES DOWN TO TWO. STRIKE--

ONE DEAD, ONE POSSIBLY CAPTURED.

Russian Bear has his eyes on the ground, over.

Staff: SIR, IT'S MR. FLANDERS.

Colonel Anslow,

- I was expecting your report an hour ago. - STRIKE HAS MET HOSTILE FIRE.

- SO JUST BACK OFF A MINUTE-- - I don't understand.

ANTONOV KNEW WE WERE COMING, MR. FLANDERS.

JUST AS I WARNED YOU.

AS HE DID BEFORE AND WE'LL ALWAYS KNOW

BECAUSE THE APPLE IS SO DAMN ROTTEN--

WHERE ARE YOUR MEN NOW, COLONEL?

AWAITING MY INSTRUCTIONS.

What are you waiting for?

If their position has been compromised,

you have to get them out of there.

THE MISSION ISN'T OVER UNTIL I SAY IT IS!

There is no mission.

We gave you your second chance...

[ fly buzzing ]

...and yourboys have failed.

Again.

MAY I REMIND YOU WE STILL HAVE

MARINES BEING HELD BY ANTONOV'S PEOPLE?

AMERICAN SOLDIERS, MR. FLANDERS,

WHO MAY ALREADY BE DEAD.

The mission has been jeopardized, Colonel.

Withdraw your men.

I'll inform the foreign secretary.

C.O., STRIKE REQUESTS PERMISSION TO RESCUE OUR MEN

AND COMPLETE THIS MISSION, OVER.

Anslow: Strike, C.O. demands extraction. Do you copy?

STRIKE, ACKNOWLEDGE EXTRACTION.

Lat 4-3-0-9, long 4-1-2-4, do you copy?

4-1-- THAT IS THE EXACT POSITION OF THE BUNKER, SIR.

HE'S TELLING US TO MOVE FORWARD.

C.O., EXPERIENCING SOME INTERFERENCE, STAND BY.

LIEUTENANT EVERETT, YOU MUST EXTRACT.

SAT LINK'S DOWN.

SAT LINK'S DOWN. WE'VE LOST THEM.

COLONEL, THOSE MEN MUST BE EXTRACTED.

If you cannot contact them,

I will inform the Pentagon to--

SEEMS LIKE WE'RE HAVING ALL KIND OF PROBLEMS TODAY.

- LIEUTENANT-- - Kirilenko: LIEUTENANT,

VLADIMIR ANTONOV IS A POLITICAL PROBLEM NOW.

THE WOOD IS ROTTEN. BELIEVE ME, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE PART OF IT.

MOSCOW LISTENS, MOSCOW TALKS.

JUST...

HAVE YOUR PEOPLE COME AND TAKE YOU HOME, LIEUTENANT.

BY THIS TIME NEXT WEEK

YOU COULD BE DRINKING ICE COLD BEER

SOMEWHERE IN LOS ANGELES, OR DISNEYLAND.

PERMISSION TO SPEAK FREELY, SIR?

SPIT IT OUT, GUILLY.

WELL... I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE HERE,

BUT 30 YEARS FROM NOW WHEN I'M SURFING WITH MY KID IN WAIMEA

AND HE ASKS ME ABOUT THE TIME I WAS DROPPED IN CHECHNYA,

WELL...

I DON'T PLAN ON TELLING HIM I TURNED CHICKENSHIT AND LEFT MY BROTHERS BEHIND.

- Soldier #1: YEAH. - Soldier #2: YEAH.

OH AND UH...

DISNEYLAND KINDA... FREAKS ME OUT A BIT, SIR.

[ chuckling ]

- YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, MAJOR? - NO.

MARINES DON'T LEAVE THEIR PEOPLE BEHIND. SHUT IT DOWN.

LIEUTENANT, AS COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER--

YES, SIR.

THIS IS GONNA BE FUCKING CRAZY.

SOME ORDERS WE BREAK.

SEE IF THERE'S ANY GAS LEFT IN THE TANKS.

- IF THERE IS, TORCH THE VEHICLE. - YES, SIR.

AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE'RE NOT HERE ANYMORE. WE'RE DEAD-- K.I.A.

- YOU TWO. - ALL RIGHT. YEAH.

[ gunshot ]

SURFER KID, EH?

FUCK, I HATE KIDS.

I GOT TWO-- SOMEWHERE.

[ speaks Russian ]

MUD IN YOUR EYE, SOLDIER.

- OOOH. - [ laughs ]

[ voice speaking Russian ]

Colonel.

YOU'VE SEEN IT?

Yes. Attached to the video

was a demand that several extremists...

known terrorists...

be released, or more Marines will die.

WHAT WAS THE SECRETARY'S REACTION?

He's in consultation with the President over the matter.

Lieutenant Everett?

He's returned?

DO YOU MEAN ARE THEY HOME?

IN THE BOSOM OF THEIR FAMILIES,

AWAY FROM THE CRAP AND TWISTED MINDS

OF SADISTIC INDIVIDUALS LIKE ANTONOV?

NO, MR. FLANDERS,

THEY ARE NOT.

- Where are they? - DEAD.

LIEUTENANT EVERETT'S TEAM WERE ROUTED AT THE PICKUP ZONE.

K.I.A.

K.I.A.?

KILLED IN ACTION, MR. FLANDERS.

IT SHOULD BE IN YOUR MANUAL SOMEWHERE.

OVER AND OUT.

NOT A PEEP...

OR I'LL HAVE YOU WORKING FOR HIM.

Everett: MAJOR, I TAKE IT YOU'RE LEADING US AROUND THIS.

NO, WE HAVE NO TIME.

- DON'T WORRY, IT'S SAFE. - SAYS WHO?

TRUST ME.

I WAS BORN HERE.

[ rooster crows ]

- EAT? - THANK YOU.

LOOK AT YOU.

[ speaking Russian ]

Everett: ANTONOV.

IF HE CAME HERE, THEY WOULD TEAR HIM APART WITH THEIR BARE HANDS.

[ woman screams ]

[ shouting ]

WHAT IS IT?

SIR, WE'RE 13 KLIKS AWAY. WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS. SAVING A FEW VILLAGERS

DOESN'T HELP US TO GET KOSH AND ESSEX BACK,

AND THAT IS THE POINT OF THIS MISSION, SIR.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO START USING YOUR HEART FOR WHAT IT IS

AND NOT A GODDAMN TACHOMETER, SERGEANT?

I DON'T KNOW HOW, SIR.

[ woman screaming ]

[ speaks Russian ]

GODDAMN IT.

GREAT, WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND THE RUSSIAN WANTS TO PLAY HERO.

WHAT THE HELL'S HE DOING TO US?

HE GOES DOWN, THAT'S IT. WE'RE DONE, GAME OVER.

[ muttering in Russian ]

[ speaks Russian ]

[ grunts ]

[ gunshot ]

WINGS OF AN ANGEL.

[ gunshot ]

LARBY, TAKE THE RIGHT FLANK. I'M GONNA HAVE KIRILENKO'S ASS OVER THIS--

IF IT'S STILL ALIVE.

[ gunfire ]

[ sighs ] COME ON, GUILLY.

TAKE THE BASTARDS OUT BEFORE THEY START MOWING HERE.

HMM?

[ gunshot ]

[ sobbing ]

- SERGEANT. - GO FOR IT.

PULL BACK! PULL BACK.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?

[ speaking Russian ]

[ laughing ]

OH, FUCK ME. DECK, FUNADOR, YOU COVER RIGHT.

OLD MAN'S GOT A PLAN OR SOMETHING.

Funador: COPY THAT.

HIT THE DECK!

OUT!

DOWN!

I'M S-- I'M SORRY.

SIR, LIEUTENANT EVERETT'S GONNA WANT TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU, SIR.

I'M SURE HE WILL.

MY MEN AREN'T HERE TO FIGHT YOUR PERSONAL WAR, MAJOR.

YOU EVER PULL A STUNT LIKE THAT AGAIN AND RISK THE LIVES OF MY MEN,

I WILL NOT HESITATE TO KILL YOU.

ARE WE CLEAR?

YOU JUST COST US AN HOUR OF TIME.

I SUGGEST YOU FIND A WAY TO MAKE THAT UP.

MOVE IT OUT, CORPORAL.

THAT'S A HELL OF A WAY TO START.

LET'S MOVE IT OUT.

Colonel Anslow, we have confirmation of bodies found

and a burned transport.

[ laughs ]

[ laughing ]

I'D LIKE TO MEET YOUR SISTER, 'CAUSE SHE SURE AS SHIT GOT ALL THE LOOKS.

- DA. - DA. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M SAYING, DO YOU?

YEAH. YEAH.

FUCK.

GIRL AT THE FARMHOUSE, YOU KNOW HER?

SOMEONE LIKE HER MAYBE.

WHAT...

SHE REMIND YOU OF SOMEONE?

MY YOUTH.

BACK WHEN LIFE STILL...

MADE SENSE.

WHEN IT WAS CLEAR WHAT'S GOOD, WHAT'S BAD,

WHO'S YOUR ENEMY, WHO'S YOUR FRIEND.

ANTONOV--

YOU KNOW HIM?

YEAH. FOR 18 YEARS NOW.

BEEN TO THE ARMY TOGETHER.

FIVE YEARS AGO HE SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED.

WHEN WE STARTED FIGHTING THE MUSLIM TERRORISTS IN CHECHNYA,

HE REAPPEARED--

THIS TIME ON THEIR SIDE.

FOR ANTONOV, WAR MEANS MONEY.

GOLD.

MORE MONEY THAN YOU'LL EVER BE ABLE TO SPEND, LIEUTENANT.

SO...

WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH THE MONEY?

DON'T KNOW.

GIVE IT TO MY PEOPLE, MAYBE.

YEAH, REBUILD MY VILLAGE.

DON'T BELIEVE ME, DO YOU?

WHY ARE YOU HERE, LIEUTENANT?

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

I DON'T KNOW.

IT STARTED AS A CAREER AND TURNED INTO SOMETHING ELSE.

I DON'T KNOW.

I BELIEVE YOU.

[ snoring ]

[ beeping ]

SIR?

YOU KNOW WHEN AN ANIMAL IS AT ITS MOST DANGEROUS, STAFF?

IT'S WHEN IT'S BACKED INTO A CORNER,

AND HIS BEST POSSIBLE MEANS OF DEFENSE

IS TO ATTACK.

THE SIGNAL ONLY LASTED FIVE SECONDS, SIR.

OHH.

THEY'RE ALIVE.

THESE COORDINATES PUT THEM LESS THAN TWO MILES FROM THE TARGET.

I DON'T SEE ANY REASON WHY WE NEED TO TELL MR. FLANDERS ABOUT THIS,

DO YOU, STAFF?

NO, SIR.

SIR.

Man: What is your name and rank?

Humpty fucking Dumpty.

[ gunshot ]

Not something the President or the American public

like waking up to.

Consequently, an air strike has been sanctioned immediately.

Vladimir Antonov is no longer of any use to us.

We're going ahead with the plans to level his known whereabouts.

The air strike will take place two hours from now.

WE DO HAVE A TEAM IN THAT AREA, MR. FLANDERS.

You what?

LIEUTENANT EVERETT AND HIS MEN

COULD BE INSIDE OF THE BUNKER.

You told me they were dead.

K.I.A. You told me so!

I REPORTED THEM K.I.A. BECAUSE COMMUNICATIONS WERE UNSAFE.

LIEUTENANT EVERETT MADE THE DECISION TO CONTINUE THE MISSION,

AND I'VE AUTHORIZED THIS!

IF ANTONOV HAS MARINES, DEAD OR DYING,

WE WANT THEM BACK!

YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TELLING YOU?!

DO YOU?!

THEY BLEED, SWEAT

AND DIE LIKE YOU.

THEY HAVE FAMILIES LIKE YOU.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS, MR. FLANDERS,

IS THAT LIEUTENANT EVERETT AND HIS MEN

WILL DIE TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY.

THEY WILL NOT QUIT...

AND NEITHER WILL I.

IF YOU WANT ANTONOV,

inform the President we'll get him.

WE HAVE THE BUNKER IN SIGHT.

COLONEL,

I BELIEVE YOUHAVE TAKEN ON THE RESPONSIBILITY

OF THOSE MEN'S DEATHS.

The air strike willgo ahead.

If you are incapable of giving that order,

find someone who can!

LET'S FUCKING GO FOR IT.

SIR, THEY'RE COMING DOWN THE HILL.

THEY JUST WON'T STOP, EH?

THERE'S NO OTHER WAY.

I'M GOING FOR THE TRANSPORT.

SERGEANT, TAKE POINT.

- GO, GO, GO! - TAKE POINT!

- Everett: WHAT WAS THAT? - JESUS CHRIST.

Larby: IS HE OKAY?

[ low engine rumble ]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?

TANK! TANK!

[ speaking Russian ]

LET'S MOVE! PULL UP! GO TO THE BRIDGE!

Everett: COME ON, COME ON!

COME ON. LET HIM GO!

PUT HIM DOWN! LET'S GO!

MOVE IT!

GET DOWN, GET DOWN.

[ speaking Russian ]

SHIT.

- GUYS, WE'RE GONNA TAKE IT FROM THE BACK. - YEAH.

GUILLY, GIVE ME YOUR GUN. I'LL COVER.

INCOMING!

BACK OUT!

NOW!

- LIEUTENANT. - GIVES US ENOUGH TIME TO PLAY DECOY.

GOT IT.

[ gasps ] HAMMY!

HAMMY!

HAMMY!

HELP! HAMMY!

TRANSPORT!

LET'S MOVE.

LIEUTENANT!

WE AIN'T GOING ANYWHERE. LOOK, 12:00.

Larby: ANTS. THEY'RE LIKE GODDAMN ANTS.

WHAT ARE WE DOING, LIEUTENANT?

- WE WALK. - JESUS CHRIST. I FUCKING KNEW IT!

ONCE A RUSSIAN, ALWAYS A RUSSIAN.

DROP IT.

I WILL KILL HIM.

SON OF A BITCH.

DROP IT.

SO THIS IS HOW YOU CHOOSE TO PLAY IT OUT, EH?

HONORS AND IDEALS?

DID THEY GIVE YOU ANY PROBLEMS, MAJOR KIRILENKO?

NO, NO, EVERYTHING WENT AS PLANNED.

EVERYTHING HUNKY-DORY, LIEUTENANT EVERETT?

I THINK YOU WILL BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN ALL THE OTHER AMERICANS I'VE KILLED.

[ grunts ]

[ laughing ]

Pilot: Nobility base, this is Group Leader One.

We are currently 15 minutes from target.

IT'S NOT GOING TO OPEN ITSELF, LARBY.

NO, SIR.

IT'S JUST THAT, WE HAD 36 HOURS...

AND I THINK IT'S--

OVER? YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD CALL, SARGE.

NOT LIKE THIS MISSION WASN'T OVER THE MOMENT WE GOT HERE,

BUT HEY, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS

WHEN YOU MAKE A DEAL WITH A BUNCH OF DEGENERATES.

WE OBEY ORDERS, HAMMY.

LOOK, WE DID WHAT WAS RIGHT.

WE DID WHAT WE WERE FUCKING MEANT TO DO AS SOLDIERS.

- AND I FOR ONE-- - DO YOU SEE YOUR OLD MAN ABOUT TO DIE IN HERE?

'CAUSE I DON'T.

SO WHY DON'T YOU QUIT THE TEXTBOOK BY-THE-NUMBERS CRAP?

WE'RE ALL CLOUD-WALKING AS FAR AS ANTONOV'S CONCERNED.

I WAS GOING TO SAY PROUD, GUILLY.

AND...

THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.

TELL IT TO ESSEX.

I MEAN, LOOK AT HIM.

LOOK, EVEN IF THERE'S A SNOWBALL'S CHANCE IN HELL

THAT WE WERE TO MAKE IT OUT OF HERE ALIVE...

WHAT'S IT GOING TO CHANGE?

THE WHOLE WORLD'S FILLED WITH ANTONOVS.

KILL ONE, CAPTURE ONE...

IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.

- TRUST THE RUSSIAN. - Hamburger: KIRILENKO?

I BEG YOUR PARDON, SIR, BUT HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?

LOOK AT US. THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST 36 HOURS

AND NOW WE'RE IN THIS SHITHOLE.

YOU SAID IT YOURSELF-- THE MAN'S GOT BALLS.

WHATEVER.

THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

HE'S OUT THERE AND WE'RE IN HERE.

I'M NOT SURE.

BUT YOU GUYS QUIT NOW,

WHEN STICKING TOGETHER MEANS THE MOST,

THEN WESTLUND HERE IS RIGHT.

JUST PLAY THE MINUTES.

LET'S SEE WHAT ANTONOV'S GOT IN STORE

AND KEEP YOUR GODDAMN HEAD IN THE GAME.

[ speaks Russian ]

WHOM?

YOU CHOOSE.

WHY?

JUST A CAREER MOVE, LIEUTENANT.

YOU KNOW HOW IT WORKS.

YOU CHOOSE A CAREER,

AND IT JUST TURNS INTO SOMETHING ELSE.

I HAVE ONE PROBLEM WITH ENDING THE LIFE OF THIS PATHETIC AMERICAN.

Antonov: AND WHAT IS THAT?

Kirilenko: IF I KILL HIM,

HOW WILL HE...

- BE ABLE TO KILL YOU? - Antonov: WHAT?

[ gunshot ]

SHIT!

Hamburger: WHO THE HELL'S SIDE IS THIS GUY ON?

MY ORDERS DIDN'T INCLUDE KILLING YOU, HAMBURGER, BUT TO GET YOU IN.

Everett: WESTLUND, GET ESSEX ON HIS FEET.

I'M GOING AFTER ANTONOV.

- [ alarm blaring ] - WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?

- AIR STRIKE. - AMERICAN?

I TRIED TO CONTACT YOUR GOVERNMENT LAST NIGHT. THEY JUST WON'T QUIT, EH?

- LARBY, THE GPS. - DON'T HAVE IT. I LOST IT AT THE TANK.

OKAY, I'LL TAKE YOU TO ANTONOV'S TELECOMMUNICATIONS.

THEN I GO FOR THE GOLD.

COME ON, COME ON.

[ shouting in Russian ]

OH MY GOD, THEY'RE LIKE RATS.

[ gunfire ]

[ gun clicks ]

YOUR MOVE, 'BRA.

LOWER YOUR GUNS!

OPEN THE DOOR.

LARBY, GO!

SO LONG, MAJOR.

YEAH. WESTLUND, GET ESSEX TO THE TOP! GUILLY, GO WITH HIM.

YOU BE SAFE, HAMBURGER.

THANK YOU, SIR.

THE COMM'S BEEN TOTALLY SHOT TO SHIT, SIR.

OHHH, SHIT.

OH SHIT.

LIEUTENANT.

Pilot: Zulu Bravo Delta, gridlock, nine minutes.

Gridlock, nine minutes.

SWITCH THE GODDAMN THING ON, WILL YOU?

TELL ME YOU'RE ALIVE.

SORRY, SIR?

NOTHING, STAFF.

[ alarm continuing ]

YOU SURE WE REALLY NEED ANTONOV ALIVE?

HAMBURGER, DON'T EVEN TEMPT ME.

WAIT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

GOD ONLY KNOWS.

FUCK!

OH, FUCK!

[ mutters ] PLEASE GOD, LET IT BE...

KEEP GOING, COME ON!

[ gunfire ]

[ groans ] DOWN! FIRE, FIRE! DOWN!

SHOOT, I'M HIT!

HOW BAD?

HAND. ONE I EAT WITH.

WHEN WE GET OUT OF HERE, HAMMY, I'LL SPOONFEED YOU.

LET'S GO.

- Hamburger: IS THAT A PROMISE? - YEAH.

COME ON. COME ON.

- LARBY, WHERE YOU AT? - GUILLY, HELP ME OUT HERE!

I GOT TO GET THIS THING WORKING.

GRAB THE A.K. GIVE ME SOME COVER. HANG ON!

READY?

DAMN!

GUILLY! YOU GOT IT CLEAR, YET?

I THINK SO.

- YOU? - I THINK SO.

COME ON, BABY.

COME ON, WINGS OF AN ANGEL.

SIR?

C.O., this is Strike.

C.O., THIS IS STRIKE. DO YOU COPY?

- [ high-pitched noise ] - [ groans ]

FUCK.

[ gunshots ]

[ groans ]

I GOT TO DO IT!

Hamburger: YOU WERE ALWAYS BETTER AT THE 400 ANYWAYS.

I'LL CHECK ON THE RUSSIAN.

As you reminded me, Colonel, they bleed and die.

The decision is yours.

ADMIRAL.

[ whistling ]

HEY...

U.S. MARINE CHEESEBURGER.

JESUS.

THERE'S NO MEDIC, SIR.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT--

SHIT. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU...

FUCK THE MEDIC, CHEESEBURGER.

I...

I WANT A CIGARETTE.

A CIGARETTE.

THIS SHIT'LL KILL YOU, MAN.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

COME ON, HOLD ON.

Man: Zulu Bravo Delta, go around.

Please repeat, Nobility.

FRIENDLIES IN THE AREA.

ABORT. DO YOU COPY?

Pilot: Affirmative, Nobility. Remain 32-25. Over and out.

STAFF.

YES, SIR?

HOWEVER YOU CAN, MAKE CONTACT WITH STRIKE.

[ grunts, groans in distance ]

WELL?

WE'RE TRYING AN AWAC, SIR.

VERY, VERY ILLEGAL. I DON'T KNOW IF...

YOUR NECK, YOUR BEER.

YES, SIR.

C.O., THIS IS STRIKE, DO YOU COPY?

I AM MORE IMPORTANT TO YOUR PRESIDENT THAN THAT PIECE OF SHIT.

Hamburger: FUCKING BITCH!

I CAME HERE TO TAKE HIM HOME. I AIN'T GOING THERE WITHOUT HIM.

Staff: Strike, do you copy? Come back.

- THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS? - Larby: GOD WILLING, SIR.

CAPTAIN ANSLOW, THIS IS SERGEANT LARBY OF THE U.S. MARINES. DO YOU COPY?

I GOT IT.

STRIKE, DO YOU COPY?

C.O., THIS IS LIEUTENANT EVERETT

OF THE UNITED STATES MARINES.

Reading you loud and clear.

SIR, I HAVE MR. FLANDERS ON THE LINE.

COLONEL ANSLOW, IS THAT LIEUTENANT EVERETT I CAN HEAR?

YES, SIR.

Patch me directly through to your lieutenant.

LIEUTENANT EVERETT,

THIS IS MR. FLANDERS FROM THE EMBASSY.

Do I take it you have Vladimir Antonov under arrest?

YES, SIR. TARGET IS ALIVE, OVER.

DO THE RUSSIANS HAVE THEIR, UH...

their interest?

- THE GOLD, SIR? - Yes, Lieutenant.

The gold.

- THAT'S A NEGATIVE, SIR, OVER. - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Colonel,

I believe your mission's concluded.

YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT IT HAS, MR. FLANDERS.

YOU SLEEP SAFE NOW.

YOU CAN BET ON IT.

C.O., STRIKE REQUESTS A FAVOR.

Over.

I DON'T REALLY WANT TO HEAR THIS, DO I?

OH, WE THINK YOU DO.

OVER.

GO AHEAD, I'M LISTENING.

Reporter: Vladimir Antonov has been captured

and presented to Russian and American forces in the Chechen region.

There is little information at present as to the details

surrounding the warlord's capture,

but sources both in Russia and the United States

are implying that a team of American Marines

was responsible. Further updates on the hour.
