Without Remorse (2021) - full transcript

An elite Navy SEAL uncovers an international conspiracy while seeking justice for the murder of his pregnant wife in Tom Clancy's Without Remorse, the explosive origin story of action hero John Clark - one of the most popular characters in author Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan universe. When a squad of Russian soldiers kills his family in retaliation for his role in a top-secret op, Sr. Chief John Kelly (Michael B. Jordan) pursues the assassins at all costs. Joining forces with a fellow SEAL (Jodie Turner-Smith) and a shadowy CIA agent (Jamie Bell), Kelly's mission unwittingly exposes a covert plot that threatens to engulf the U.S. and Russia in an all-out war. Torn between personal honor and loyalty to his country, Kelly must fight his enemies without remorse if he hopes to avert disaster and reveal the powerful figures behind the conspiracy.

What’s the CIA got for us today?

Lieutenant Commander.



Sun’s going down.
We should get to it.

RITTER:
The hostage is a CIA operative.

We believe he is being held

by Syrian government forces
in a nearby building.

Call sign is "Randy."
We approach from the south.

We should expect eyes on us
here and here.

GREER: How many Syrian troops
are we talking about?

Hmm.

I asked the CIA to brief me

on the situation
relating to your men.

I thought you’d like

Thank you, sir.

Yuri Zelin.

Son of Nikolay Zelin,
head of the FSB.

This is Yuri in Aleppo
an hour before our assault.

Lieutenant Commander’s team
killed him on the second floor.

Now, what he was doing there,
we don’t know,

but Webb, Rowdy and Kelly
all seem to have been payback.

All the men Kelly killed
in his house had FSB links.

CLAY:
So you are actually telling me

the massacres of our men
and their families

were foreign attacks
on U.S. soil.

Russians.

By proxy.

None of them were connected to
Russia in an official capacity.

Did you know Russia
was dealing weapons

out of Aleppo when we went in?

Oh, we had a feeling.

We’re a man short.

Kelly said one of
the Russians got away.

There’s three men here.
Where’s the fourth?

Uh, it doesn’t matter.

The CIA’s position on this
moving forward

is that the matter is closed.

What?

The director considers
the score even.

She feels, uh,

it’s unnecessary

how Kelly got to Vaseliev.

Lieutenant Commander Greer?

Yeah, we can’t prove it.

Although, as I recall,
you were quite insistent

that she be briefed

She did seem resourceful.

There is the obvious concern
that this new development

sends the wrong message
to Moscow.

Even in prison,
