Jarhead 2: Field of Fire (2014)

[bunniefuu]

MERRMETTE: A story.
A man has a lot of choices.

And these choices made in
life are rarely perfect.

So he decides to
sign a contract

'cause he wants to
make a difference.

He wants to
save this world,

make it a better place.

But when that contract is signed,
he will no longer choose

when he wants to eat,
sleep, f*ck or fight.

Those decisions
will be made for him.

He will be part of something
bigger than himself.

He will train for


and get to know
every inch

of his M16A4 r*fle
better than his own d*ck.

Then, he will go to
the desert and fight.

And die.
Why is he fighting?

Why is he dying?

What's the f*cking point?

Let's go! Let's go!
Let's go! Let's go!

Staff Sergeant! Request

That's a negative, Corporal.
You wanna provide support,

then fly and get in

goddamned toilet paper.

These boys may need

Yes, sir!

[WHOOPING]

[HOOTING CONTINUES]

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

What up?

Hey, Li, what's up?
Aloha, boys.

Hey, guys.
Oh, what do we got?

A crown for the queen.

Ah, cute.

What, we both get both of them?
Doesn't matter, dude.

Oh, my God, what is that?
Pineapple juice?

Oh, that is disgusting.
No, I don't want that.

Give me something stronger douchebag.
I'll get you a bib.

Get the f*ck outta

Hey! Stop dickin' around.

Go escort Sergeant Dickson
to Mortuary Affairs.

Yeah, stop dickin' around.

He's talkin' to you, fool. MARINE


You're just the man
I'm lookin' for. Sir.

MARINE 23 Like that hat.

Lovely lid, Li.

It's Luau Sunday, sir.
It's my party hat.

Well, carry on.
Yes, sir.

Walk with me.
Yes, sir.

Staff Sergeant
Dickson was a good man.

Yes, sir.

[GRUNTS]

Is this allowed, sir?
No. Jack Dickson.

Sit down.

Your wife,
she's expecting, yeah?

Yes, sir.

How far along is she?

Eight months, sir.

I'm afraid that's one delivery
you're gonna have to miss.

Yes, sir. I've been
there, I share your pain.

The things we do
for the Corps.

Corporal, this job of ours, driving
trucks in heavily contested areas,

it's just about the most
dangerous job on the planet.

We lose good men and women
every day, don't we?

Yes, sir.

Lexpectyou and your
people are wondering

who's gonna take over
as squad leader.

I haven't really had time
to think about it yet, sir.

Well, you better
give it some thought.

You're the new squad leader.

Major?

Congratulations. You just got
yourself another stripe.

Sir, maybe there's
someone else. I...

Come again?

Corporal Kettner. He's the same rank.
He's got more experience...

Corporal Kettner's
an exemplary marine.

He made the short list
but you drew the long straw.

Sir, it's just that this is my
third deployment in four years.

After it's over,
my contract's up.

I'm not sure if I'm
going to re-up, sir.

[SCOFFS]

ls my beloved Corps not living
up to your expectations?

It's a big decision
and my wife and I,

we haven't made up
our minds yet.

Well, I've been there, too.

Just the way I felt
after my third deployment

and hey, look at me now.

How about this, Corporal?

You're taking over
the squad. That's a fact.

But, if and when you wanna
walk away from this,

there's no reason you shouldn't
walk away as a sergeant.

Can you live with that?

Yes, sir.

All right. You're dismissed.

You have a shower, some
grub, grab some sack time.

You leave on mission in the morning.
Yes, sir.

Corporal?
Sir?

Keep the faith. Semper Fi.

Semper Fi, sir.

[LIVELY MUSIC PLAYING]
[ALL CHEERING]

[WHOOPING]

ALLEN: No, no, no.

I'm out. I'm out.

[MEN SCREAMING INDISTINCTLY]

You don't feel like
staying out there?

No.

Grass skirts and desert camos
aren't really my look.

I don't know.

The right set of shoes, I
think you could pull it off.

[CHUCKLES] Ha.

Times like this, there's
only one place I wanna be.

Go call her.

Have fun.

Wish me luck.

Ain't happening, Soto. Keep your
d*ck away from me. Shut it, Li.

[TYPING]

HEATHER; Hi.

Hi, baby. How you doing?

I'm okay. I'm just
doing some laundry.

I didn't expect
you to call.

No, I know.
I just wanted to say hi.

Hi. Everything okay?

Yeah. I just really
wanted to hear your voice.

How's our little
lady doing?

[CHUCKLES]

She's been jumping on my
bladder, but we're doing good.

Wow, I've really
missed you.

You sure
everything's okay?

Yeah, I'm good now.

Okay-

Did you send
that letter yet?

Have you told them
you're not re-enlisting?

Mmm-mmm.

Not yet. Don't worry, baby.
I'll do it. I love you.

I love you, too.

JONES: Okay, Marines,
fire when ready!

[WHOOPS]

Hey,bud,
what's the good word?

Yeah, we're getting
a new sergeant?

Yup.

Word is Davidson from over
at Fox Trot's coming over.

No, that's not happening.

Can you tell us who it is?

Yeah, who's the FNG?

f*cking new guy, buddy.

Seriously, the last thing we
need is some uptight as*h*le.

Okay, come on.
Tell us who it is.

It's me.

Say what?
What?

No way.
You? Get outta here.

I'm sorry, man.

Hey, if it wasn't me,
it was you.

So you down for being
my alpha team leader?

Hell yeah. A-slash gets the
girls, shoots the bad guys.

Squadleader
does the paperwork.

sh*t.

[ALL LAUGHING]

That's actually true.

U; Right?
Right.

Wow.

Nothing changes, guys.

Everything changes, man.

I can't give you
sh*t anymore.

I love givin' you sh*t.

Soto, you can
still give me sh*t.

I can just bust
your a*s for it now.

[ALL LAUGHING]

SOTO: That's cute.

Well, we said we didn't want
an uptight as*h*le.

Yeah, at least
he's not uptight.

Very funny. No, you guys
should really laugh it up.

Because once I get
my stripes,

you guys are just
pushing all day long.

[ALL LAUGHING]

MERRIMETTEI Hard.

Crew, back to
marksmanship training.

I need the best damn
squad in the Corps.

SOTO: Oh, yeah.
Ll: I'll remember that.

SOTO: One, two...

ALLEN: Hey, Soto, do you
actually have a p*nis?

MERRIMETTE: All the way down.
All the way down.

Easy on the a*mo, Danni.
Just in case.

Just in case what?

Just in case
you animals piss me off.

I'm a gear q*eer.
What can I say?

You're a toolbox.
That's what I can say.

Yeah, but I look good.

You're all right.
ALLEN: Don't deny it.

Good afternoon, sirs!
All right, listen up!

Stand easy.

You'll be transporting
supplies to Forward

Ops Base Ouellette in
the Garmsir District.

Those poor people have been
taking beaucoup casualties.

They need to get
resupplied ASAP.

Now this is definitely
outside the Green Zone.

So watch your corners,
keep your head on a swivel.

IEDs, HMEs,
ambushes, whatever.

Questions?

Are we taking
route 605, sir?

Affirmative. It's a
straight shot 75 clicks,

then a hard
right under Route Red.

[SOFTLY]
We're totally f*cked.

Son. This is Private
Khalid Hassan Abu Faisal.

He's with the Afghan National Army.
He's joining the squad.

KETTNER: Muji m*therf*cker.

You got a problem with that,
Corporal Kettner?

No, sir!
That's good.

This is part of
the drawdown handoff.

Private Faisal has received the same
training as every one of you has,

so he deserves your
cooperation and your respect.

Would you agree
with that, Corporal?

Yes, sir!
That's fine.

All right, Marines, you stay
safe, get the job done.

They're all yours,
squadron leader.

Thank you, sir.

Oorah, sir.

All right, Marines, top up your a*mo.
Let's get ready to roll.

Faisal. Corporal Merrimette.

Thank you. You'll be riding
with Corporal Kettner.

You ride in the back.
Go ahead, man.

Go ahead. Go.
You speak English?

Easy, Kett.

Let's go. Show time.

All right, Li. You look stupid.
Thanks.

[GRUNTING]

Corporal!

What's up, A-slash?

You really gonna
let him have a g*n?

They let you have one,
don%they?

You really want him
to be armed?

I don't know.
Let's find out.

Private Faisal?
What are you doin', man?

Can I have a minute
of your time, please?

Yes, sir.

Uh, Private, uh,
Corporal Kettner here

is concerned that you may
be a t*rror1st in disguise

and you're planning
on k*lling all of us.

Now, do you have
any plans like that?

I have no plans to harm
anyone in this unit, sir.

Thank you, Private.
Carry on. Sir.

You happy now?

Do I look happy?

You never look happy.
Come on, let's roll.

[EXHALES] This is some bullshit.
Hey, Corporal.

MERRIMETTE:
Hey, Lance Corporal.

Now that you're a top dog,

can you put in for
a new transport vehicle?

Yeah, man, we're tired of
getting army hand-me-downs.

LOOK... [TAPS VEHICLE]

This has got up-armor,
a 10-foot whip.

Hmm. I love it
when you talk dirty.

I know you do.

If only I weren't married. And you
weren't so obviously a l*sbian.

Is it that obvious?

Is it really that obvious?

All right, let's get
ready to roll, Marines!

I still think
I can turn you.

ALLEN: Not a f*cking
chance, Soto.

Remember those days,
rollin' out in force

with your M16
and a full set of ba*ls?

Smokin' and jokin'.

Good old days.

Yes, sir. Well, it's
a young man's game.

Keep your hands off my porn!

MARINE: I'd rather
keep my hands on you!

I'll say hi to your wife.

[GRUNTING]

It's definitely hot face.

It's all the same

[LAUGHING]

I gotta go with
the hot face.

I don't care
what she looks like,

as long as she's got a not
face and a banging body.

[GRUNTING]

[LAUGHING]

I knew it!

There's no surprise there.

What's going on up there?

I got trash on
the side of the road.

A hundred yards
to my 11 o'clock.

You see any wires?

Detonating device?
Disturbance in the dirt?

CONVOY DRIVER:
Affirmative, Corporal.

Which one?

CONVOY DRIVER: I got a pile of
trash and disturbance in the dirt.

Thank you.

Soto!
Corporal?

Stay sharp, man. Keep an eye on that ridge.
Look for sn*pers.

Roger that.

How long has it been?

Two hours.

[MUMBLING]

At this rate, we will
be traveling all night.

Hey, Soto?

Hey, what up, big boy?

I got a Dear John letter from my
girl a couple of days ago, man.

Damn, man.
You been holding out on me?

Yeah. I didn't
believe it was real.

Said she needed a break.

Maybe she's bangin'
some other dude, huh?

Yeah, man. Your girl's probably
sleeping around on you.

I really thought
she was the one, man.

One of many, brother. You know,
it ain't easy being a jarhead.

Seven-month deployment.

The uncertain future.
Hot as hell.

All this sand,

[FAISAL PANTING]

You can relax now.

You see it? You see it?

Yes. I see it.

KETTNERI Wait, what...

What the f*ck is

This is just a car radio.

Maybe it'll play
the Beach Boys.

We're cool. He says
it's just a car stereo.

What are you doing, man?
Are you playing in the sand?

Come on, man.

You tell him to get
away from that thing.

What? What, man? What?
[EXHALING]

The radio was just

Slow down. Slow down.

There you go.

Let it go.

[RUMBLING]

[SIGHING]

Hey.

Cowboy up, do you hear me?

Get back in the game.
Let's go.

Corporal, we need to move.

That was
a coordinated attack.

We're gonna have every Muji in
the province gunnin' for us.

And I need to
get her out in 48 hours.

We can't leave
our men behind.

I know what it's like
to lose good men, Corporal.

But if we don't get our asses in
gear, we're gonna lose a lot more.

Let's go.

Senior Chief.

I don't think
we can help you.

We're box kickers,
not a fire team.

You are now, kid.

Hey, Private,
keep it together.

Go pull Li's dog tags.

Consolidate his a*mo.
Roger that.

Everything's
shot up or blown up.

Vehicles are toast.
We got no SatComm.

Let's go. Come on.
[PANTING]

Thank you.

Move or die, Marines!

Standard diamond formation.

Package in the middle.
Let's move.

Set up a perimeter.

Aye-aye.

Anoosh.

[SOFTLY] Here, drink.

Thank you.

Thank you. You okay?
Okay, come on.

Here.

Stay here.

You watch her.
FAISAL: Yes, sir.

[FOX WHISTLING]

You go low. I'm gonna
take the high ground.

All right.

[SIGHS]

[CONVERSING IN LOCAL LANGUAGE]

[SCOFFS]

I don't trust this Muji.

He fought with us, took
the same g*nf*re we did.

KETTNERI Still.

I'm not invitin' him over
for Sunday night dinner.

I don't think
he'd show if you did.

[CONVERSING IN LOCAL LANGUAGE]

What do you make of her?

Hard to tell.

She must make some kinda juice
to have SEALs come extract her.

[SIGHS]

She's kinda hot.

Think I can hit that?

[CHUCKLES]

You're a sick f*ck.

Stay sharp.

Soto.

[SIGHS]

Tough day, huh, bro?

[SNIFFLING]

He took a b*llet for me.

If I had just done my job.

Don't do this
to yourself, man.

He knew what he
signed up for.

He didn't deserve that.

No.

But it's not your fault.
Yes, it is.

We all get scared sometimes.

It's what you do when you're
under pressure that matters.

Now quit your whining
and man up.

[SNIFFLES]

Are you ready to lay some pain for these
Mujis and make it outta here, man?

That's how we honor Li.

[SNIFFLES]

Oorah?
Oorah.

[HELICOPTER HOVERING]

JONES". Major Gavins.
We have a situation, sir.

CLR 10 didn't make it
to FOB Ouellette.

GAVINS: Where are they?

Well, COC reported them offline in
the vicinity of the 67th gridline.

And?

Not good, sir.

Supply train was
totally destroyed.

KIA?

We brought six
back last night.

And here's where
it gets interesting.

One of the KIA was a SEAL.
He was part of Team 10.

They went into the Tangi Valley yesterday
to extract a high value package.

What kind of package?

What the hell's a Navy SEAL
doing with our unit?

Don't know.

And sir, five of our
marines are missing.

Missing? Who?

Merrimette, Soto, Kettner,
Allen, and the new guy, Faisal.

Li?

Didn't make it, sir.

And the unit? You got a
fixed position on 'em?

No.

We have a best guess.

I want a no-bullshit
assessment, Captain.

We believe they've gotta be on the move
somewhere in the Helmand River Valley.

We gotta get them outta there soon,
sir, or they'll be eaten alive.

Well, let's not write 'em off.
They're marines.

They're supply marines.

They're marines.

Strap in and bring everything to bear
we have to get our people outta there.

I'm trying, sir,
but we can't push air.

There's a sandstorm kickin' up
between them and us right there.

We got red air?

Yes, sir. High winds, low visibility.
Air support's grounded.

I don't want excuses. Find me a
workaround and let's get this solved.

You hear me?

Yes, sir.
Let's bring our boys home.

[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

sh*t!

Bring up grid 67,
give me weather.

[EXHALES]

it sure is pretty, isn't it?

Yeah. It looks like
a five-star resort.

Take a look at your 12.

So what exactly
am I lookin' at?

You're lookin' at the most
dangerous place on Earth,

with the toughest enemy
you'll ever face.

There's a reason why
they've never lost a w*r.

Now, look at your 10.

There's a village called Minar.
It's about 20 clicks away.

And there's a captain there,
he's a pretty good guy.

If we can make it there
by this afternoon,

I think you got a chance to make it
back to Leatherneck for a little chow.

What do you say?

What about FOB Ouellette?

That's too far.

With the heat we got on us, we'll
never make it back in time.

And you can trust
this police captain?

If you're lookin' for guarantees in this
country, you're in the wrong place.

And the wrong w*r,
for that goddamned matter.

Who are we protecting?

That doesn't matter. What
matters is she gets back alive.

She's bigger
than you and me.

[CLEARS TH ROAT]

So you like this play?

A midday trek through
the Helmand River Valley,

humping a tier one package,
short on water, short on a*mo,

and everybody in this
province gunning for us.

What's not to like? [CHUCKLES]

ANOOSH: Is that your daughter?

Yep.

She just turned five.

She's beautiful.

You have children?

No.

I had a younger sister.

She was k*lled by the
Taliban when she was 13.

What for?

To punish me.

To punish my family for
violating Sharia law.

Sharia law as interpreted by the Taliban
forbids women to have an education.

My parents broke with this
tradition and sent me to college.

When I returned
to Afghanistan,

the Taliban wanted
to make an example of me.

It was decided by the tribal elders to send
a message to the people of my infidelity.

But they couldn't k*ll me.

Then I would be a martyr.

I begged them to take
my life but...

[g*nsh*t]

She was just a child, had
so much life ahead of her.

I'm sorry.

[EXHALES]

So am I.

[g*nsh*t]

sn*per!

Get down! Get down!

Where'd that shot come from?

I don't know. I can't see 'em.

We're going to need another round
if we're gonna zero in on him.

Another round?
[g*nf*re]

He's got us pretty
well dialed in here.

All right, heads
down, Marines.

Dude, my head 'vs
not gem' anywhere.

Give me your binos.

All right.

Let's find this
son of a b*tch.

Where you at?

Come on.

There you are.

MERRIMETTEI Where?

At 700 meters.

Look at your one.

Do you see the glint?

The sun's reflecting
off his optics.

MERRIMETTE:
Yeah, yeah, I got it.

He's far. Danni?

Yeah, I see him.

Can you take him?

In perfect conditions, if we
were 300 meters closer, maybe.

All right, so what do we do?

Get 300 meters closer.

That would be choice
number one,

but when we get there, if we
miss, we're in the same boat.

Only worse.
Because we're closer.

FOX: Exactly.

So what's choice number two?

Well, Merrimette, we can sit here and
wait until one of them shoots one of us.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah, then we all get shot.

[b*llet RICOCHETS]

I'm not feelin' that. FOX: You know what?
Enough of this sh*t.

Khalid?

Let's go get up close
and personal.

MERRIMETTE:
Not all of us can make that.

Not all of us.

You and me.

Gear down. Let's go.
Lose your r*fle. Come on.

Man, always sitting
and babysitting the Muji.

Hey, Corporal? You take care
of her. You understand me?

Yes, sir.

All right, Corporal,
listen to me now.

I want you to stay behind me and
just be patient. All right?

All right. Come on,
let's go have some fun.

[GRUNTS]

You all right?
Yeah.

All right.

I want you to start
movin' forward

and I'm gonna flank around and go on
the right hand side. You hear me?

I'll come with you.

No. I move better alone.

Now, listen, I want you
to keep this field of view.

When you see me hit him,

I want you to come in hard and fast.
All right.

Now, no g*nf*re. We do this hand-to-hand.
There's too much enemy.

See you in a minute.

You got this.

Anoosh, get a drink.
Get a drink.

[SIGHS]

Don't do it, Corporal.

What's that, Senior Chief?

Overthink it.

k*lling.

Let me tell you somethin'. Every
day we go out, it's life or death.

It's him or you.

This is my first time
out as squad leader.

Before yesterday, I...

I never even fired
my weapon at anybody.

And I never thought
I'd have to do it that close.

It's all the same.

They died today.

And we lived.

Look at me.

Today was a good day.

Now, I want you
to do something for me.

I want you to get out
of your head and focus.

Focus on the mission.

The mission is God.

All right.

I'm gonna give you another
second and then we gotta go.

Soto, start gearin' up.

Let's go.

You speak very good English.

Thank you.

Which is very unusual
for a woman in our country.

May I ask where did you learn?

I went to university
at Cambridge.

May I ask the same of you?

I was trained by the U.S.
military as a translator.

In Lexington, Virginia.
KETTNER: Whoa.

You learned how to speak
English in Virginia?

With the help of my iPad
and Rosetta Stone.

I'm not buyin' it.

I'm not selling it.

Brunswick stew, thick or thin?

Well, if it is thin, it isn't
Brunswick stew. It is soup.

Right, Corporal?

What's up?

Opium poppies.

They're in harvest.

Yeah, and where there's opium
farmers, there's Taliban.

You got it.

[VEHICLE APPROACHING]

Move, Marines! Move! Move!

Marines, 100 meters, follow me!
Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

Listen.

You gotta get to the village and
talk to the police captain.

You hear me?
I will. Yes.

Okay.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Okay.

Now listen to me,
you gotta get her out.

You have 24 hours.

Chief, we're truck drivers.

You're a marine!

And this country needs her.

You wanna risk the lives of
my men for some symbol?

What do you think this is?

FOX: Bring me Anoosh.

These men are gonna
get you out.

What is your name?

It's John.

Thank you, John.

Okay.

Give me your hands.

Merrimette,

no easy day, huh?

What are we gonna do now, man?
We gotta get outta here.

You're in charge, Corporal.
Your orders.

Call it.

Just“

Just gimme a minute.

Come here.

MERRIMETTE: Come with me.

Who the hell are you?

I'm not unlike you.

I am fighting for the
rights for my people,

and your government
is supportive of my cause.

A lot of good men have died for
you, so I hope you're worth it.

So do I.

We need to get
to that village.

I think we should
talk about this.

Nothin' to talk about. It's
my squad, makes it my call.

I don't mean to question you.
Then don't.

All due respect,
Corporal, this...

ALLEN: She's not our mission.

She is now.

Get ready to move out.

Standard diamond formation.

Package in the middle.

Let's go.

MERRIMETTE: Door on the left.

FAISAL: Clear.

Windows and door on the right.

Stay sharp, Marines.

U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

Jeez, kid.

Beat it, kid. I'm not in the mood.
All right.

Get the f*ck outta here.

Hey, I got somebody with a
video camera at the window.

Is he armed?

I can't tell.

Keep an eye on him.

Hey, put the camera down.

Put the video camera down.

Put the camera down.

KETTNER: Movement.

Hey, hey!
KETTNER: g*n!

Drop the weapon!

Khalid, tell him to drop
his f*cking weapon.

[SPEAKS LOCAL LANGUAGE]

That's right,
be smart, stupid.

Be smart, m*therf*cker.

[SPEAKING LOCAL LANGUAGE]

What's he saying?

He's invited us to
come inside and talk.

All right, let's get
her inside now.

[SPEAKING LOCAL LANGUAGE]

Hey, Soto, stay on this door, okay?
Roger that, sir.

[SPEAKING LOCAL LANGUAGE]

What's goin' on?
He is offering us chai.

Thank you.

Tell him Senior Chief Fox
sent us.

We need to make arrangements with
our base so they can come get us.

[SPEAKING LOCAL LANGUAGE]

What have we got, buddy?

It looks like everyone's
clearing out, Corporal.

It looks good.

Still got that video camera
in that window though.

Hey, A-Slash.
Yeah?

Stay sharp, buddy.
Roger that.

About to be on the
evening news, sir.

Well, just stay
on him, all right?

Let me know
if anything changes.

He]', Corporal?
What's up?

Can I get one of those chais?

I'll see what I can do.

SOTO: Corporal Kettner?
Yeah?

Ever have a camel milk
chai latte?

He says he is sorry to hear about Fox and
that he was a true friend to the village.

And that he will help us
contact our base. How soon?

[SPEAKING LOCAL LANGUAGE]

Shortly.

[SPEAKING LOCAL LANGUAGE]

He is curious about the package and
wondering if she is our prisoner.

No.

FAISAL: She is
Afghani national, yes?

Yeah.

FAISAL: Then why does
she travel with us?

That question's
above my pay grade.

I just need to get her out
of here and back to base.

He is saying she is safe here.

Tell him I have my orders.

FAISAL: He has his also. What the
hell's that supposed to mean?

FAISAL: Because she is Afghani
national and not our prisoner,

he must seek permission
from the provincial commander

before he can allow us
to leave with her.

All right. Let him know that
we're running out of time.

Time. We need to
get this done now.

I don't understand. We got
goddamned satellites up there

that can see everything,
they can see up your as*h*le.

You know that, don't you?
JONES: Yes, sir.

See into your bedroom.

All this goddamned technology,

all this manpower,
we cannot locate five marines?

Perfect storm of bad
stuff happening, sir.

They got ambushed, marine comms go
down, sandstorm between them and us.

Well, what about
the air on station?

Do we have any direct support?

Still grounded, sir.

Son of a b*tch!

I got a Humvee column rollin'
outta FOB Keenan now, sir.

Keenan?
That's Royal Irish Regiment?

Imjin Company Second Battal...

We goddamned better hope for a
little luck of the Irish here.

They're on the other side of the
sandstorm and they got access.

Now you're telling me that this
is our best worst option, right?

I'm afraid so.

I do have some actual intel on who's the
package that they're traveling with.

Talk to me.

Her name is Anoosh Hassan.

Anoosh Hassan?
I know the name. Who is she?

It's a women's
rights' activist.

She's a real hero to the
people in the provinces.

She's a beacon of hope.

The Taliban wants
her dead, sir.

And Washington
wants her alive.

Yup. She's good PR.

She's good PR. You know
what's bad PR in my book?

Dead marines are bad PR.

She's a keynote speaker
at the United Nations

International Summit
on Human Rights.

She's scheduled to be
in New York in 36 hours.

That's direct from Washington. She's
the president's guest of honor.

And she's with our marines?
Yes, sir.

f*ck!

Can we call our base?

How are we doin' out there?

Fine as f*ck, Corporal.
All right.

What's goin' on with
the video camera guy?

He's still there.

MERRIMETTE: You think
he's Taliban?

KETTNER: Or a sympathizer.

I don't care if he shoots
for National Geographic.

Let me turn his lights off?

Easy, A-Slash.

It's too quiet.

I don't like it.

The calm before the storm.

Yeah.

Here's that storm you're
talkin' about, Corporal.

MERRIMETTE: Close the door.

[SHOUTING IN LOCAL LANGUAGE]

Get her to cover.
Now.

[SPEAKING IN LOCAL LANGUAGE]

All right, Devil Dogs, remember

and then we're gonna fight

What's everyone's

I got four mags left.

I'm doin'

I got nine full mags.

You got nine full mags?

Hey, I'm the gear q*eer,

Hell, yeah.

Hell, yeah. [CHUCKLING] Ain't no one

Semper Fi.
Oorah.

All right,
here's the deal, Marines.

We got 19 hours
to get her out

and get her to
wherever it is she's goin'.

So, I want you to keep
your fields of view open

and only sh**t what you can hit.
Fire on my command.

So what's next?

We're going after her.

Four of us against every Taliban
fighter in the province?

KETTNER: You ready to die
for this chick?

We don't know
anything about her.

That chick
inspired the nation.

Because of her,
the people have hope,

for the first time
in a very long time.

Soldiers and b*ll*ts and fighting
will never save my country.

The people will.
People like her.

People who are brave enough to
stand up for what they believe in.

It is a beautiful country. I wish
you could see it the way I do.

Where'd they take her?

Only one place.
To Mullah Nafiz.

She will be stoned
at dawn.

You know how to get
to this Nafiz guy?

Yes, sir.

Listen to me, man.

I know you wanna make a
difference in this w*r.

So do I.

See, the thing about
what you're doin',

I'm your A-Slash, I'll
follow you anywhere, man.

But you need to ask yourself
if you are ready to live

with the consequences
of your decision.

We're marines.

We're the tip
of the spear.

I'm not gonna
let that woman die.

We go in at dawn
during morning prayer.

Are you sure
she's in there?

We can't go in
through the front door.

There is another way.
Follow me.

Once we're inside,
where's she gonna be?

FAISAL: In the Nafiz's
chambers or imprisoned.

So we find her
and then what?

Then we fight.

We're going in silent.

That means no g*nf*re until
it's absolutely necessary.

KETTNERI I'm hit!

Kettner! Get up!

Cold!

You gotta cook it over a

Brunswick stew.
You can't rush it.

Most people like chicken, but if you
want real Virginia Brunswick stew,

you gotta use rabbit.

I prefer lamb.

Never tried it with lamb.

Danni, I don't
have a shot!

I'm movin' in.

When we get home,

I'll have my grandma make a big


I'll tell her

There's plenty

I would like that

[MAN SHOUTING

On your command,
Corporal.

Clear!

Seventy-two virgins, huh?

Let's get some,
my brother.

Let's do it.

Come on.

Let's go.

MERRIMETTEI A story.

A man has a lot of choices,

and these choices made in life
are rarely perfect.

So he decides to
sign a contract

because he wants to
make a difference.

He wants to save this world,
make it a better place.

The consequences
are punishing,

unforgiving,

and he questions why
he ever signed that contract.

So what's the f*cking point?

I guess the point is
responsibility of duty.

Love of country.

A way of life.

Are we on
the right side of this?

These aren't our
questions to ask.

A marine fights for the person
standing next to him.

He fights for the man
who can't stand anymore.

He fights so that others can have the
opportunity to make a difference.

That's how we make
the unforgiving forgivable.

And if we're lucky, somewhere in all the
fighting and dying, we discover hope.

And the marines who k*lled
and bled and died

will always be jarheads.

Their families will have to live
with the unbearable demands

of their ultimate sacrifice.

MARINE 1: Unidentified
vehicle, 12 o'clock!

MARINE 2: Get out
of the truck!

Show me your hands!

U.S. Marines.

Marine.

Hey, it's me,
Merrimette.

Unload.

Come on.

Welcome home,
Marines.

It's good to
have you back.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

MERRMETTE:
And the ones who make it home,

we never really leave
our brothers behind.
