Second in Command (2006)

[Crowd shouting]

Until something happens,

my plan is to stay
in this wonderful bar of ours
and get drunk.

The locals are
torching your flag.

You know,
we should film them.

When they burn
something interesting
I will hit record.



Like the new President?
Amirev?

Amirev.
The question is,
will he last?

(Sandra)
Well, he made it
through the first week.

The people love him
and he won the election
fair and square.

(Mike)
Our reluctant loser,
Kirilov,

has other plans for Amirev.
Stop! IDs please.

I'm here to collect
Commander Sam Keenan.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

So, nobody's going
to the airport to pick up
your new Ambassador?

New second-in-command,
Deputy Ambassador,

ain't worth
changin' shirts for.
Mmm-mmm.

That's not who
they're flying in today.

[Whispering]
I've heard
it's the new military attach?.



(Sandra)
Military attach?,
interesting.

(Walt)
You know,
word on the street

is the militia
loyal to Kirilov
are planning a coup.

Amirev knows that he has
a serious insurgency problem
on his hands.

He also knows
that his army simply
isn't up to handling it.

[Scoffing]
Yeah, no shit.

Which is exactly why
Norland requested this guy.

(Mike)
He's the kind of guy
you definitely want

on your team
if you're expecting trouble.

And let's face it,
the US are taking
this insurgency problem

very seriously.

(Sandra)
So, who is he?

His name is Keenan.

Commander Samuel Keenan.
Navy SEAL.

(Mike)
He's the toughest guy
I have ever met.

(flight attendant)
Your bag, sir.

Thank you.

Sounds like you know him.
Yeah.

Uh, Michelle and I embedded
with his team in El Basra.

She however got to know him
a little better than I did.

Sir.

(Sandra)
Oh, not our
super clean

Michelle "United World News"
Whitman?

(Mike)
The very same.

(pilot on radio)
Delta Four, requesting
clearance for take-off.

(Mike)
Michelle told me
that he's coming by the hotel

before he starts work.

(Sandra)
Lucky Miss Whitman.

[Walt laughing]

[Engine starting]

(Sam)
What's your name, Corporal?

Uh, Butler, sir.

Do you know
the Hotel Continental?

Sir,
my orders were to take you
straight to the Embassy, sir.

Then on
to the Presidential Palace.

But the hotel is kind of
on the way.

In the opposite direction.

(Sam)
Give me an hour, okay?

(Butler)
Yes, sir.

[Elevator bell dinging]

[Knocking on door]

Who is it?

How are you?

[Michelle laughing]
Ah!

[Protesters shouting]

[Michelle giggling]

[Protesters shouting]

You okay?

I'm fine.

Hey, man.

[Grunting]
Journalist scum!

[Gun firing]

Shit.

Sam.

(Mike)
Hey, buddy, stop.

Go home,
we don't want you here!
We're press!

[People screaming]

Tell your news programmes
to leave!

Don't shoot.

[Exclaiming]

[Glass shattering]

[Screaming]

[Both speaking Moldavian]

[Both grunting]

[Panting]

[Woman shouting]

Get out of the way.
You, get down.

Sir, you okay?
I'm fine.

Get some ambulances, now.

Yes, sir. You, come on,
let's get out of here.
Michelle,

you better come with me.
(Butler)
Where's the phone?

You'll be safe
at the Embassy.

I'm a reporter, Sam.
Like him.

(Butler)
You know where the phone is?
You, answer me.

You wanna be next?

If we don't show the world
what's happening, who will?

Sam, you know me
well enough by now.

Sir, Civil Guards
are on their way.

You should not be here
when they arrive.

[Woman screaming]
Let's go.

Stay off the streets
and let me find out
what's going on.

Don't worry, Sam,
we'll be fine.

Michelle,
I'll come back for you.

[Siren wailing]

[People yelling]

Jesus Christ,
that's gotta be a bomb.

What's there?

It's the army barracks.

This country is
supposed to be stable.

They just had elections.

Well, someone
didn't like the result.

(Sam)
Move on.

[Tyres screeching]

Gunnery Sergeant Darnell.
Commander Sam Keenan.

Gunnery Sergeant.

Gunny will do just fine, sir.

[Shell exploding]

Nice town, huh?

Sleepy.

It has its moments.
Good to meet you, sir.

Commander Keenan.
I'm Jennifer Lennard.

Nice to meet you.
(Jennifer)
Right this way, please.

Ambassador Norland
speaks very highly of you.

George? He's a good man.

I get the feeling this town
is going to need him
more than ever.

[People chattering]

He's right through here.

Sam, how are you, son?

Ambassador,
sorry, I got delayed.

Oh, our... our RSO,
John Lydon.

(Norland)
Marine Detachment Commander
John Baldwin.

Our new military attach?,
Commander Keenan.

Welcome to the deep end,
Commander Keenan.

Here's the top sheet.

Small cadre of insurgents,

former military
and loyal
to ex-President Kirilov,

are stirring up opposition
to the new President.

(Baldwin)
This man is their leader,
Tavarov,

who obviously ordered the hit
on the journalists' hotel.

They're hardliners,
old school communist,
violently anti-US.

But mainly street corner
showboaters, till now.

[Protesters shouting]

Comrade Tavarov.
It's time, now.

Luca.
Sir.

Move in.

[All shouting]

[Speaking Moldavian]

[Protesters chanting]

You sure you're all right
to do this?

Your boyfriend
was pretty insistent
that we stay out of trouble.

Yeah, well, trouble has a way
of finding me.

How do you think I met him
in the first place?

This place is about to blow,
you can feel it. Come on.

[All chanting]

Ambassador.

Ah. Frank Gaines.
CIA Station Chief.

Our new, uh, military attach?,
Commander Keenan.

They still call you B.C.?

What do you mean?

Well, you go to a hotel,
a half hour later
we have a body count of eight.

Frank, Sam is on our side.

So were those dead reporters.

Now, what's your intel
on the gunmen
and the bombers?

Well,
we have one major explosion
and three smaller blasts.

My contacts report
roving bands of militia,
maybe as many as 500.

They've taken out
the military barracks here

and the, uh,
Civil Guard HQ here.

They've shot up
US business interests too.

We have unconfirmed
American casualties.

What about
the rest of the army?

(Gaines)
President Amirev
sent General Borgov

to take out what we thought
was a militia base camp.

Satellite pictures show
he's turned back
from the mountains,

so I'd say five hours,
minimum.

I'll give you three to one
on Amirev swinging
from a rope by midnight.

[Protesters shouting]

As the capital falls
into anarchy,

the rioters have
cut the President off

from both his military
and police.

(Michelle)
Amirev needs his army

who are reportedly hours away
in the mountains.

[All chanting]
Kirilov! Kirilov!

[Cell phone ringing]

Yes, Comrade.
Shoot.

Yes, sir.

[Screaming]

[Woman continues screaming]

(Mike)
Where did that come from?

One of the Palace Guards
has opened fire.

[Protesters jeering]

[People shouting]

You getting any of this?
Yeah, all of it.

(Michelle)
They're storming the palace.

[Metal rattling]

"Our palace guards have
opened fire Mr President."

"On my own people?
Who gave such an order?"

"They are jumpy sir.
It's understandable."

"My army could restore order
immediately, yet they are
still hours away."

"But sir, we've lost contact
with General Borgov."

"The airport is open.
I have organised a plane
for you."

"A plane?
When all other options
are closed?"

"Why does
so obvious an escape
remain open to me?"

"Have Captain Servat
come in."

"You must leave now, sir."

"Put my Chief of Staff
under arrest."

"Mr President?"

"I don't need his advice
any longer."

"Mr President!"

Ambassador Norland, please.

(Michelle)
The militia are clearly
encouraging the people

to press forward.

How many marines do we have?

How many people
do we have to protect?

Officially
an Embassy staff of 27.

Plus 42 other US nationals
in the city,

mostly oil
and telecom engineers.

Marine Embassy Guard
detachment of 15.

15? That's it?

This was not considered
a hazardous duty station.

Look outside, Mr Gaines.
(Gaines)
I know.

That was President Amirev.

Communists are storming
the Presidential Palace.

And?

He wants our help.

So, tell him people in hell
want ice cubes.

How many weapons
and transport do we have?

Whoa, whoa,
hold on a second there, B.C.

I see where
you're going with this.
It's not gonna happen.

Sir, the Secretary of State
would have our asses.

If we're gonna do something,
we're better to move now.

Yeah, yeah,
well, with all due respect...

Hear him out, Gaines.

Those marines see any action?

Uh, Gunny, uh, Butler,
and Zanger all, uh,
spent a tour in Iraq.

Works for me.
Get me in, I'll get him out.

Do it.

Follow me.

Sam.

Since we still
haven't replaced
my former deputy, uh,

I'm appointing you
to temporarily fill the slot.

You're my new
second-in-command.

[All booing]

Less protesters back here.

It's fully loaded, sir.
Thank you.

Pull up here,
I should be able
to go this way.

Service entrance
to the palace.

Shit, those Palace Guards
look like they've got
their hands full.

[Protesters chanting]
Kirilov! Kirilov!

Make sure they keep holding.

There's Sam.

You're the gentleman
who will assist my travel?

Yes, sir.
Where is your driver?

Follow me.

(Baldwin on radio)
Sam, we've got a problem.

The mob's coming through.
They're storming through
the service office door.

Switching to Plan "B".

Follow me.

(Sam)
Baldwin,
cover us when we come out.

(Baldwin)
Copy, Sam,
we're right behind you.

We've got movement.

With just a handful of guards
protecting the palace

and his most loyal Generals
many hours away,

the feeling in the insurgents
is one of "now or never."

God, Sam!

[Exclaiming]

[Protesters screaming]

Get up.

Keep your head down, sir.

[Tyres screeching]

[All yelling]

(Michelle)
Let's get out of here.

(Mike)
Yeah, we're out of here.

Tavarov.

Cover the US Embassy.

(Baldwin)
Tiger One,
we got your back here.

[Tyres screeching]

You roll back
to the Embassy, sir.

(Sam)
Copy that. Hang back
and cover our flank.

Gunny, we're coming in.
Cover us.

(Gunny)
Roger, Sam. Ready to deploy.

(Sam)
Watch it, we're cut off.

(Baldwin)
I got the rear, Sam.

(Sam)
Hold on, sir,
I'll get you out.

[Panting]

Brace yourself.

I got it, go!

[Engine revving]

[Man shouting in Moldavian]

(Baldwin)
Move out, cover the street!

Pazzini, cover me!

[Shouting in Moldavian]

(Baldwin)
Take him out!

I've got it, go!

[Exclaiming]

[Groaning]

Get up on the wall.

(Marine)
Quick!

[Man shouting in Moldavian]

Coming in from the left.

I'm coming around, move!

Mr President, are you okay?
I'm fine.

Okay, come on.

Sir, we'll have to
make a run for it, okay?

[Screaming]

Grenade,
give me a grenade!

Go, get the hell out of here.

Only shoot on my orders!

Follow me. Go!
Cover! Cover!

Fire! Fire!

[Panting]

Get those goddamn gates open!

(Gunny)
Over here!

(Marine #1)
Incoming fire! Get down!

[Whistling]

(Marine #1)
Close the gates!

(Marine #2)
They're pulling back.

Welcome to the USA,
Mr President.

Thank you.
I am in your debt.

Sir, the Ambassador
is waiting inside.

(Marine #2)
Re-group now!
Sir.

Corporal Zanger
just radioed in.

He and Pazzini
are still out there.

I'll assemble a reaction team
and bring them both in.

Negative, Gunny.

The city is
crawling with militia
heading our direction.

I need all available men
right now.

Zanger and Pazzini
are two of my best.

I'm sure they are,
and they're marines.

I'm counting on them
out there.

Yes, sir.

[Shouting in Moldavian]

Jones, left flank,
Red, right flank!

(Gunny)
Move!

(Marine)
Hold your position.

(man on PA system)
Attention, please,
all civilian evacuees,

please assemble in the lobby
for a security briefing.

Here you go.
Hi.

Don't worry about me,
I'll be fine.
Are you sure?

Hell of a time
for a tour group.

They're US nationals
who work in the city.

We bussed them in
for their own safety.

We need to get control
of our defences.

Is there a map
of this place?

Yeah, the Marine Unit
is down the hall
and to the left.

ACR is in the basement
through Comms.

Come with me,
I'll show you
the Embassy plans.

(man on PA system)
Would evacuees
please remain in the lobby

and await
further instructions.

[Brakes squealing]

They re-grouped
at the top of the street,
Gunny.

Enough ammo to hold off
a troop of girl scouts.

Yeah, the only
antipersonnel weapon
we've got is bad breath.

I've spotted an RPG.

I'll give the Ambassador
the great news.

Now, we do this the hard way.

We don't have much time.

(Embassy official)
Let us know immediately

if there's any change
in your plans.

Incoming!
(Marine #2)
Down!

[All screaming]

[All cheering]

You okay?
Yeah.

Call for backup,
seal the windows.

Right, sir.

(Marine)
You two, on me!

[Guns firing]

[Amirev coughing]

Get him downstairs
into the bubble, now!

You okay?

Huh?

Norland!

Norland. Fuck, Norland.

What, Sam?

Medic! Medic! Please, here.

Please, what's the damage?

They hit us with RPGs.

(nurse)
Let me take a look at you.

No.

You're gonna be okay.
Hold on.

[Gasping]
I don't think
I'm gonna make it.

Best to leave this in.

(Gaines)
Amirev is inside the bubble.

He's safe. For now.

[Gasping]

[Norland gagging]

[Gasping]

[Sighing]

[Speaking Moldavian]

(Baldwin)
Sir, this is Marshall Geller
of Comms Tech.

Hey, Marshall.
Sir.

How is the President?

Sir, if there's any
background information,
anything you know.

He's good.

[Beeping]

White House situation room,
you're on.

Ready, sir.

This is Sam Keenan.

I regret
to inform you that

Ambassador Norland
has been killed
in the Embassy attack.

Richard Hammond,
Secretary of State.

Our sympathies,
Commander Keenan.
How did this happen?

A coup d'etat is in progress.

Amirev is in the Embassy
and we've been hit
with an RPG.

John Franklin, NSA.

(Franklin)
How is your security?

We are surrounded
by militia loyal to Kirilov.
I need backup.

(Anderson)
This is General Anderson.

Our nearest
Marine Expeditionary Unit

is about six hours due east
of your current position.

You folks are just gonna
have to do whatever you can

to hold the fort
until they can arrive.

Understood.

And if you don't mind sir,
on the double.

Copy that.

(Hammond)
Commander Keenan,

we'll keep
the lines open for you
here at state,

the Pentagon
and Ops Centre CIA.

Let us know immediately
if there's any change in
your plans, or your situation.

Good luck.

This is General Anderson.

I'm issuing orders
for the 22nd Marine
Expeditionary Unit

to proceed
with an emergency
Embassy Reinforcement Mission.

[Computer beeping]
O'Brien, check the message.

Message relayed.

(man)
This is Fort Victory.

Message received
and understood, over.

(officer)
Go, go, go!
Move, move, move! Scramble!

Move your ass!
Move your ass!

[Marines chattering]

We're ready to go.

[Marines chattering on radio]

(pilot)
Delta 11, ready.

Okay, birds are in the air.

Delta 13, birds are flying.

All right, boys.
Sit tight,
you've got a long ride.

Raise your hand
if you feel confident
about our security.

What we do have
is an E&E plan.

You heard my discussion
with the Secretary of State.

Case closed.

Evacuation is our only option.

The longer we delay
the harder it'll become.

The evacuation plan
was designed
for a staff of 15.

We have over 50 people here.

(Sam)
And a full-on siege outside.

How long do we have
until General Borgov
returns with his troops?

About four hours.

By then we'll have militia
trying on our pants for size.

Ambassador Norland said
he would not let
this fragile democracy fail.

I'm not going to
let him down.

We hold the fort.

I hate to piss
on your little parade, Keenan,

but Norland is dead.

Jesus, am I the only one here
who thinks life
would be rosier

on the other side of that mob?

Evac is not an option.

Vietnam is history, pal,
get over it.

Frank,
you're not being helpful.

Helpful is not sacrificing
more American lives
in a hopeless situation, John.

This guy has been in country
less than a day.

What does he know?

(Geller on radio)
Sir, you'd better come
to the TCU.

On my way.

They broke in
on Channel 4.
How?

Don't know,
he won't talk to me.

He just wants
the man in charge.

[Beeping]

This is Sam Keenan. Over.

I said I only want to speak
to man in charge.

The Ambassador.

He was killed.
I'm in charge.

My name is Tavarov.

I represent
the Revolutionary
People's Government.

(Tavarov)
We demand the release
of President Yuri Amirev.

To stand a trial
for the murder
of innocent civilians

gunned down on his order
outside the palace.

(Tavarov)
Over.

Amirev is under
our protection,
which is US soil.

(Sam)
If he did
commit those crimes,

there are proper
and legal ways to proceed.

Not at the point of a gun.

That's how it works
in a democracy.

(Sam)
Over.

[Man speaking Moldavian]

We have demanded the release
of President Amirev.

Look outside, Mr Keenan.

(Tavarov)
In front of your gate.

Shit. The roof.

You, uh,
got a minute, John?

Why did the Vietnam reference
get him so riled?

He was born there.

His mother was part
of the
French Diplomatic Mission.

His old man
was some jarhead officer

who bought a bullet
when we pulled out of Saigon.

No wonder he's not big
on evac.

No. But he's big on ego.

This guy is a loose cannon.

We just went
from George Norland
to George of the Jungle.

I'm going back channel
on this.

You might consider
doing the same thing

if you wanna save this place
and everybody in it.

[Brakes squealing]

[Groaning]

[Grunting]
Ahh!

Out! Get out!

[Whimpering]

Get out!

Redwood Two,
we got three hostages
including one woman

being held at gunpoint. Over.

[Panting]

[Exclaiming]

Yeah,
that's General Illienev.

Other guy looks like press.

(Gaines)
And that woman.

Michelle.

Michelle Whitman.

(Gaines)
Of course it is.

United World News.
Yeah.

Mr Tavarov,
if we are going to talk,

release the hostages now.

Our demands are clear.

Release President Amirev
into our custody.

Or these people
will be executed.

Can I remind you,
the Geneva Convention,
about prisoners of war?

Unless I am mistaken,
we are not at war.

The hostages
are innocent civilians.

Then release our President.

[Speaking Moldavian]

It's very simple.

He's not fuckin' around.

Our position on that
is clear, Mr Tavarov.

Over.

[Gasping]

[Whimpering]

[Grunting]

[Breathing heavily]

You have 15 minutes.

Then we will kill them both.

(Tavarov)
Then you are next,
Mr Keenan.

You and everyone
inside the Embassy.

We are taking
our country back.

How we do it,
it is up to you.

[Sighing]

We have no choice.

You read my mind, sir.

I'm gonna have to park
those thoughts about Beyonc?.

What are you thinking,
Keenan?

We're going out there
for a rescue.

Gunny, what we got?

We got two Recon Marines,
two trained snipers.

If we can create a diversion,
we can get
those hostages back.

You don't have anything
big enough.

You're right.
Two men in the field.

The best they can do
is to draw fire.

I know it hurts
to agree with me,
but let me finish.

You don't have anything
big enough, but I do.

A little insurance policy
I've been hiding
by the name of Charlie Four.

(Sam)
Tiger One,
this is Redwood One. Come in.

Tiger One. Over.

What's your location?

(Zanger)
Baktiar Street.

Are you mobile?

Just four legs between us.

[Speaking Moldavian]

Okay, gentlemen.

(Gaines)
There is a bicycle store
on Plechia Street,

which is two blocks east.

Okay, we'll find it.

The owner is gonna
ask your name.
Tell him, "Michael Jordan."

Call us when you're inside,
and guys, haul ass.

Okay, let's move.

[Speaking Moldavian]

[Grunting]

[Gasping]

Sir,

a man calling himself Tavarov
just killed a hostage.

More hostages will be killed
unless I turn you over.

I need a straight answer.

Please.

Did you order your guards
to shoot at the people
at your palace?

No. Let me explain something.

These men are brutal.

We fought against them,
10 years.

(Amirev)
Suffered their abuses
for more than 20.

If I thought
surrendering myself to them
would stop the bloodshed,

I would do it.

But the opposite is true.

Only by defying them
can I protect my people.

I'm very sorry
you're caught in the middle,
Mr Keenan.

Whatever you decide,
I will understand.

Thank you.
My army is coming.

(Borgov)
This is General Borgov's
18th battalion

en route
to the American Embassy.

Our ETA will be four hours.
Do you copy?

This is General Borgov's
18th battalion

en route
to the American Embassy.

Our ETA will be four hours.
Over.

(Zanger)
Hi, Michael Jordan.

Good to meet you.
Follow me.
Okay.

(Zanger)
You got the radio?

Here's the C4.

Great, thanks.
All right.

Watch our backs.

You squawk twice
if there's a problem.

If we're being followed,
you're found, whatever.

Understand.
Okay.

Let's get this thing
on the road.

(Zanger on radio)
Bike is in position.

Tiger One. All set. Over.

(Sam)
Redwood One.

Copy. All set.

On my command.

Three, two, one, go.

[People screaming]

Cover! Cover!

[Screaming]

(Zanger)
Fire!

[Screaming]

[Guns firing]

Move!

(Marine #1)
Go, go, go!

[Tyres screeching]

Go, go!
Get the hostages! Get down!

Move out!

(Marine #2)
Quick, move!

[Guns firing]

[Screaming]

Come on, guys! Let's go!

(Marine #3)
Hustle! Man down! Come on!

Get him up. Come on.

(Marine #4)
Let's move them out, come on!

Let's move it!

(Marine #5)
Come on, hurry up!

(Marine #6)
Quick!

(Marine #7)
Here! Need some help here!

(Gunny)
Medic!
Medic!

There's a man
still out there, sir.

Sir.

[Groaning]

[Grunting]

[Both grunting]

(Sam)
Come on, Mateo, let's go.

[Exclaiming]

[All grunting]

[Groaning]

[Scar screaming]

(Sam)
Come on.
I think we can make it back.

(Sam)
Close the door.

[Man shouting]

[Men shouting in Moldavian]

[Screaming]

Get the medics in reception.
We got injured.

[Michelle coughing]

(nurse)
You all right, sir?

(Mateo)
Oh, God, my leg.
That woman's been injured.

You'll be fine.
I need morphine.

[Mike coughing]

Are you okay?
(Marine)
Take it easy, take it easy.

Baldwin, get the medics.
(Baldwin)
Sir.

(Sam)
And secure the compound.

(Gunny)
Keep on holding, Mateo.
Move!

Suck it up.

It's great to have you back
barking orders,

but we need intel
faster than they need
a Band-Aid.

(Gaines)
You two are reporters, right?
Yeah.

How many troops
did they bring to the palace?

Uh, 50, 100,
I have no idea.

We were filming and
then they came after us
and we just ran.

And the rest
of the Civic Guard?

There were these men
arriving in trucks

carrying AK-47's
and they fired at them.

You recognise firearms?

Research is part of my job.

Okay, good.
What other equipment
did you see?

Did they have tanks?
(Michelle)
No tanks.

Any heavy armoury?

(Mike)
No. We just...
We just saw trucks.

What about the leader,
Tavarov?

Did he try to hurt you?

Did he say
he planned to shoot you?

No. The opposite.
He said he would be happy
to release us.

I want to see
both of you in my office
when you're finished.

Gunny.

What's General Borgov's
position?

He's still 120 miles away.

With heavy armour, I'd say,
uh, three and a half hours.

They're still
mopping up the dead out there.

Corporal Chevanton
puts their casualties
at 25 dead, 12 wounded.

That will not stop Tavarov.

No, he'll know
help is on its way.

It's just gonna
speed things up.

He'll hit us
with everything they've got.

Unless we give them
what they want.

Gunny?
Sure.

I'll give them what they want.
So long as they want hell.

Marine's balls
for friggin' brains.

Hey, we got the hostages back,
didn't we?

Keenan.

Your mandate here
is not to turn this
into the Alamo.

Great movie.

Sure. But everybody died.

We got Texas, didn't we?

(Chevanton)
Sir, we've got movement.

Yes, we have all that
under control now. Yeah.

Can you guys...

Incoming!

[All screaming]

[Alarm beeping]

(Chevanton)
Post Five has been hit.
They got the comms array.

Comms are out.

We need to update Washington.

See if they can
give us something else.
Come on, move.

I'll have to
rig the Satphone.

(Sam)
Let's go.

What the...

[man coughing]

(Geller)
Just be a minute.

Got a lock.

Washington.
Do you copy? Over.

(Anderson)
This is General Anderson.
Copy that.

Yeah. Patch me through
to the, uh,
Secretary of State.

(Hammond)
This is Secretary Hammond.

What is your
current situation? Over.

Sir, militia forces destroyed
our communication centre.

Sir, uh, Mr Secretary,
this is Frank Gaines, CIA.

We are outnumbered
by over 20 to 1 at the moment.

We have no cover
on three sides,

and the militia may
have seized government tanks
and heavy weapons.

(Sam)
Yeah, but...

Sir, with relief forces
still hours away

and General Borgov's army
out of contact,

I strongly urge
that we reconsider
the plan to evacuate,

and take advantage
of imminent night cover.

That's an opinion
which I cannot support, sir.

Would you stand by
for a moment,
Commander Keenan?

(Anderson)
Sir, I think you should
take a look at this.

Gentlemen,
we have a problem here.

Commander Keenan.

(Hammond)
This department has not
received official notification

that you've replaced
Captain Baldwin

as acting Deputy Chief
of Mission. Over.

I'm not getting you, sir.

The cable
replacing Captain Baldwin

as acting
Deputy Chief of Mission
was never sent.

Officially,
he is in charge, not you.

I am hereby ordering you
to assist him
any way you can.

Could you put Captain Baldwin
on the line?

This is Captain Baldwin.

What is your assessment
of the merits of E&E?

I cannot guarantee the safety
of anyone in this facility.

I would therefore agree
that evacuation
would be advisable.

Captain Baldwin,
you are authorised to proceed.

(man on radio)
This is Delta 13,

we are en route
and ETA is three hours. Over.

[Knocking on door]

[Door opening]

I heard the staff talking.

And?

They say we're moving out.

Is that so?

Sam, if we stay, we're dead.

If we go, we're ducks
in a shooting gallery.

Well,
it's Baldwin's call now.

Michelle,
Baldwin is a good guy.

But he's never been
in a combat situation.

But this is his turf.

This is your life.

Does it ever occur to you
that you might be wrong?

Not this time.

You know, it's okay to run
when you have explored
all the options.

We'll talk about this later.

I tried to warn you.

We don't have time
to build a horse
or dig a tunnel.

We don't have to.
Someone already did.

Talk to me.

(Gaines)
Now, here's a little something
for you.

What is it?

Paranoid bastards
built all kinds of shit
under the city.

Bomb shelters, command posts.

More tunnels
than the New York subway.

That's lucky for us.

All stations.

(Gaines)
Harry is open. Over.

Birch One to all staff.
Initiate final burn.

(Gaines)
Just the sensitive stuff.

Bag it all.
Burn it to the furnace.

(man on PA system)
Attention all personnel.
Please make your way

to the first floor lobby
and prepare
for immediate evacuation.

And then when they told
me the situation...

All quiet up here.

Stop there.

Tiger One. Transport ETA.

Tiger Two, ready. Out.

Tiger One,
tunnel exit
located and secure. Over.

Just keep it movin'.

Hey, folks,
about a quarter mile
till we reach open air.

Let's stay tight.

(Butler)
Come on, let's go.

Look,
I'll give you the, uh,
details of the evac plan

when we're on the bus
and out of the city.

So, if you could just
take your place in line.

I'm staying.

That would be
contradicting a direct order
from the Secretary of State.

Tavarov will want
a point of contact
inside the Embassy.

Let it go, Keenan.

Face it, pal, you just
weren't up to the job.

(Gunny)
Redwood Two.

The men are briefed
for a tactical withdrawal.
Out.

Birch One. Copy that.

Suit yourself, tough guy.

[Sighing]

(Butler)
Lt'll be all right.

(man)
This way.

There are two more
comin' through. Over.

[Sighing]

Tavarov's men are still
gathering out front.

Right. By the time
he's inside, we'll have
a half-hour head start.

I'll just divert
the Marine Expeditionary Units
to the new away point,

then we chopper
out the civilians.
Simple.

You made the right decision.

Yeah.

Redwood Two. Clarify status,
Tiger One. Over.

Sir.

This way.
Keep moving, please.

If you boys go AWOL again,

I'm gonna kick your ass.

Yeah, you get stuck
in a hole again,

I ain't gonna
save your sorry ass.

Good to see you.
Follow me.

Let's go.

Redwood Two. Clarify status,
Tiger One. Over.

(Zanger)
Tiger One. Hatch is open.
Over.

Come on.

There it is.

Redwood Two. Go, go, go.
Stay low, stay low. Over.

All right,
let's get up there and cover.

Come on.

Nice work.
Let's get them on the bus.

Go, go.

Redwood Two. Clarify status,

(Gunny)
Tiger One. Over.

Almost there, sir.

(Baldwin)
This is Birch One.
President is en route. Over.

Why don't you attack
this Embassy?

What are you waiting for?

Okay. Holding.

Better, better way.

It's not right.

Shit!

What are you doing?

(Zanger)
Hey!

Hey!

Shit.

[All screaming]

Retreat!
All back to the Embassy. Go!

(Marine)
Go, go, go!
Michelle!

Move out!

We've been set up.
We've been set up!

Hey, guys! Guys!

[Both screaming]

(Butler)
Come on, move!

Come on! Move!
Get back to the Embassy,
quick! Move!

Get them out of here!

(Butler)
Move! Go, go!

Sir, they knew
we were coming.
Come on.

[Man shouting]

Let's move inside.

[Men shouting in Moldavian]

[People screaming]

(Gunny)
Back inside.

Let's go. Let's go!

(man)
Move, move, move!

(Marine)
Come on, guys, let's go.

[Men yelling in Moldavian]

[Screaming]

Get the people to the TCU
and the President
to the ACR.

Now. Come on, move.
Let's go.

Where's Michelle?

Where's Michelle?
She's still in the tunnel,
I think.

Keenan, don't. It's too late.
Leave it, they're gone.

I want this Embassy
combat ready in 15 minutes.

You're not in command
anymore!

We're talking
about lives here.

Give me five minutes,
then seal the tunnel.

Yes, sir.

(Sam)
Don't wait for me.

[All screaming]

Michelle.

[Speaking Moldavian]

[All screaming]

Sam.

[Sam whispering]
Stay down.

[Speaking Moldavian]

[Grunting]

Michelle.

I'll take you out of here.

Seal the tunnel.
Yes, sir.

Fire in the hole!

[Men screaming]

Geller is dead.

The Satphone's out.
We're cut off.

They knew we were coming.
They had to.

Did we scan everybody?

Everyone who passes
the security post.

But it wasn't manned.

(man)
Amirev.
He's still alive, sir.

(operator on radio)
This is Delta 13,
we are en route.

ETA is one hour. Over.

Mr President.
(Amirev)
Sir.

We believe
the militia may have planted
a listening device on someone.

They made sure it was someone
who made it inside.

Check my men, please.

(agent)
Clean.

Sir, is there any chance
that someone in your office
could have planted one on you?

Anything is possible.

Do you mind?
(Amirev)
Please.

Nothing.

So, that's everyone.

No. Not everyone.

[Beeping]

[Detector blaring]

[Detector blaring]

[Sighing]

Deactivated.
It's one of ours.

Tavarov has heard everything
within 10 feet of you.

[Sighing]

Oh.

How's your head?

Mild concussion.

Sam, I, uh...

Sometimes, life forces you
to make a tough call,
Michelle.

But those people...

Those poor people.

I know.

That's history.

Maybe it sounds cold,
but that's history.

You have to survive
to write about it, okay?

I'm sorry I ever doubted you.

[Sighing]

Michelle, they'll come at us
with everything they've got.

I need to handle this.

Eight marines left.

How's the morale
holdin' up?

We've got 10
motivated bad-asses,
Gunny,

just itchin'
to bring a world of pain
to these motherfuckers.

Copy that.

Time to get down and dirty.

Keenan wants claymores.

You get a staffer
to pass these around.

I want metal,
keys, coins, knives, nails,

and I want them back here,
full, in five minutes.

Yes, sir.

[Sighing]

You were looking for me?

Sir,
I feel I should be relieved
of my command.

Officially
I don't work here, remember?

We've got Tavarov. On four.

You take it.

As far as he and I
are concerned
you're in charge here.

Sam Keenan.

(Tavarov)
Mr Keenan.

You can end this
with no further loss
on either side.

Release President Amirev now,

and your people
will leave our country
unharmed.

The marines and a shit load
of tanks are heading your way.

(Sam)
Over.

When they get here,
they will be dealing
with a new government.

Out.

Baldwin,
are the civilians
in the basement?

Yes, sir.

How are we looking?

Bad news, sir.
Our perimeter's full of holes.

And the good news?

Good news?

We gonna teach these mothers
a whole new meaning of pain.

Give them hell, Gunny.
That's an order.

Yes, sir.

Happy 4th of July, gentlemen.

I suggest you make full use
of the right to bear arms.

Got to love
that Second Amendment.

What you doing here?

Sightseeing.

Michelle, go to the basement.

I would, but Mike said
he can't find a decent
camera angle down there.

Yeah, that,
and the lighting sucks.

Intelligent,
beautiful, stubborn.

Nice mix.

(militia officer on radio)
Sir, should we wait?

No. Attack.

Redwood One to Redwood Two.

They're positioning to attack.
Get ready.

Copy that.

At code Baker,
followed by your number,
hold your fire.

(Gunny on radio)
We lure them
into the open area,

at which point
I will give them
their motherfucking bonus.

And we all open up
with everything we've got.
Over.

Over.

Here we go!

[Men shouting in Moldavian]

Come on, hurry, hurry.
This way. Quicker.

Go, go.
(Baldwin)
Come on, keep moving.

Come on, move.
Get everyone
in the corner over here.

[All shouting]

General Borgov
is on the secure channel.

[Guns continue firing]

[Both screaming]

[Men talking in Moldavian]

[All shouting]

Baker Three, Baker Five,
Baker Seven.

We're getting in deep.
Stand down.

[Exclaiming]

[Screaming]

[Exclaiming]

[Glass shattering]

(Borgov on walkie-talkie)
Tavarov,
this is General Borgov.

We are nearing your position,
and I am ordering you
to stand down.

The Army's back.

Withdraw now.

Move back, move back!

[Guns continue firing]

Mr Keenan.
Your cavalry has arrived.

(Tavarov)
You are lucky.

(Gunny)
Baker Six, Baker Six.
There is a cease-fire.

Militia is falling back.
I repeat,
militia is falling back.

Binoculars.

[Vehicles approaching]

General Borgov's regiment.
They made it.

(all)
Ooh-rah! Ooh-rah!

Congratulations
to your brave marines.

At last, I can release you
of this burden

and return
to the Presidential Palace.

General Borgov
is a personal contact.

It would be a great honour,
Mr President, if I could
take his report first hand.

Very well.

Thank you.

John, I sense
a juicy photo op coming up.

Redwood One?
Tell your girlfriend
to get her cameras fired up.

(Baldwin)
Over.

Copy that.

In the nick of time,
General.

(Borgov)
Good to see you again.
Thank you for coming, sir.

This is Birch One.

Militia forces
have cut and run.

The government square
is secured.

Please tell President Amirev
his people await his return.
Out.

(man)
Yes!

[People chattering]

Oh, shit.

Redwood Three.
Return to compound.

(Marine #2)
The Army's in on this.
Fall back, fall back!

Get down!

[Exclaiming]

[Grunting]

[Groaning]

Move.

[Gasping]

Get the President
back into the bubble. Now.

Come on.

[Screaming]

[Michelle exclaiming]

[Man shouting]

(Marine on radio)
Anaconda Six to US Embassy.

Do you read me? Over.

This is Redwood One,
say again.
I do not read you. Over.

Anaconda Six.
Do you read me?
What's your sit-rep? Over.

We've got tanks
in front of the Embassy,
pounding the crap out of us.

Copy that.
Will return the favour.

(Marine on loudspeaker)
This is
the United States Army.

Stand down,
lower your weapons,
or you will be fired upon.

[Helicopter blades whirring]

Go.

Here.

[Screaming]

[Speaking Moldavian]

[Screaming]

I'm out.

Get out of here!

Sir.

[Screaming]

Where's Sam?

[Panting]

[Whimpering]

Don't think about it.

Do it.

Seal this room, soldier.
Yes, sir.

Keep everybody over
the other side, now.

(Marine)
Okay.

Sir, Miss Whitman's
not in the TCU.

[Baldwin screaming]

[Both grunting]

[Tavarov speaking Moldavian]

[Exclaiming]

[Groaning]

[Screaming]

Here!

[Tavarov screaming]

[Groaning]

Private,
bring that stretcher.

Move!

(Marine)
Medic!

(Marine)
Come on.

(Marine)
Some help here.

Thank you.

Right this way, sir.

Marine, who's in charge here?

He is, sir.

Commander Keenan.
Sit, sir, sit.

Let's get these civilians
out of here.

Go for it, Colonel.

Aren't you coming with us?

That's a no.

You sure?

Yes, sir.

I'm not going anywhere.

Sir.
