Mine (2016) - full transcript
In the middle of the desert, an area filled with 33 million blast mines scattered everywhere, marine sniper Sergeant Mike Stevens is on a mission to locate and neutralize the leader of a terrorist cell. After three months and six days in the desert, one single moment of hesitation is enough to blow the entire mission, and now Sergeant Stevens is stranded in a hostile guerrilla territory all alone, and to make matters worse, with his left foot on an active mine. Against the harsh environment, without water, the sergeant must stay glued to the spot and use his Marine training, his resourcefulness and his perseverance for the next 52 hours until a convoy arrives in his area. Between the scalding heat of the day and the freezing cold of the night, if Sergeant Stevens wants to survive, he must fight not only the mighty forces of nature but also the greatest adversary of them all: himself.

Okay, I just got us a new friend.
Targets, two o'clock.
Range, 1,708 meters.
Wind, from three o'clock,
six miles per dial wind right
2.3 mils.
Now, Mike, I know you're good.
No, I mean you're real good.
Right?
But you are not that good.
We're not
here to play games, man.
So what are we here for then?
Huh?
I know what you're thinking.
We're here to
complete our mission, Tommy.
I mean, come on, dude.
What's your point, Tommy?
All right, look,
my point is... my point is...
We've been here for what...
What is it now?
Two months?
Three months and six days.
My man, that is my point.
That is my point exactly.
Three months and six days
since you last seen Jenny.
Oh, Jenny...
Jenny, I love you.
Jenny, I want to kiss you.
Oh, Jenny, what you need?
Kiss me.
- Contact.
- What?
Shit.
Here we go.
Hogsden,
Hogsden, Alpha-Margot 4,
Elvis is in the building, over.
Here, Hogsden.
The target should be aboard a
black Land Cruiser with guards.
Do you confirm
the target's presence, over?
They said black.
It's gray.
It's a different vehicle.
It's still a Land Cruiser, Mike.
Something's happening.
It looks they're about to...
perform some kind of ceremony.
Land Cruiser approaching.
The designated
target is Said Assiff, 65.
Confirm, over.
Target, Ten o'clock.
Range, 977 meters.
Copy, 9-7-7. Indexed.
He could have grown a beard
since he was photographed.
It could be him.
Target confirmed.
Send it.
It's a wedding.
So what?
Say again, over.
So what?
Proceed and confirm your zero.
Over.
Send it.
Send it.
Alpha-Margot-4, confirm hit.
Over.
I don't have a good shot.
Hogsden, the groom's
in the way of the target.
Awaiting your orders, sir, over.
Mike, no. Mike, man, don't
get any funny ideas, right?
This is what we're here for.
Neutralize the target, over.
Mike, get yourself out
of this spiritual crisis
and just shoot the damn guy.
Alpha-Margot 4 to Hogsden,
it's a wedding.
You're asking me to shoot
the father of the groom
and the groom.
Please confirm, over.
Alpha-Margot
4, it took us 30 months
to locate the target,
Said Assiff.
As far as we know,
Assiff doesn't have any son,
but he could be part
of the same terrorist cell.
Don't wait for a clear shot.
Neutralize and confirm, over.
You see, Mike, man,
even terrorists get married.
We don't even know
if that is Said Assiff.
He got out of a different colored
car and at this distance,
you know you can't
make a positive I.D.
Send it, Mike.
Send the God-damned shot, Mike.
Confirm, over.
Take the God-damn shot, Mike!
Hogsden, target's moving.
I lost 'em.
- Alpha-Margot 4, out.
- Damn it, Mike!
Alpha-Margot 4, mission aborted.
Request extract.
Get us out of here, over.
Give us your new
position, Alpha-Margot, over.
Negative, GPS broken, over.
Roger, wait for new orders.
We're looking for a new p...
- What are you doing?
- Something.
Mayday, Mayday, Alpha-Margot
4 requests immediate extract.
The sandstorm is
increasing in force, over.
The new extract
location is a village six klicks west.
How copy? Over.
Negative. Do not copy!
Village is 15 klicks
west from here? Over!
Well, that's great, Mike.
Five hours on foot.
That's west. -I know
which way is west, Mike.
You know what day it is?
It's Tuesday.
It's not just any Tuesday, Mike.
This is the second Tuesday
of the month,
which means my son
is expecting my call.
I know.
I haven't let him down yet.
What do you guys
talk about anyway?
What is he? Four?
Actually, Mike, he's
decided that he's, um...
He's gonna be a vegetarian.
The other day Anne
was in the house
and she was, like, cleaning up.
She looks into the backyard
and there's Jake running around,
running around...
She's like, "Jake!
Jake, what are you doing?"
And, uh, he turns around.
He's eating a leaf
and he goes,
"My name isn't Jake."
"I'm a Brontosaurus! Rawr!"
Oh, man, that guy's nuts.
I know it's
probably all bullshit,
but, you know, it just
makes me feel better.
It's crazy, right?
You know, Mike, I used
to think that our marriage
was this big, big, big,
big mistake...
You know, a curse.
Then Jake comes along
and he changes everything,
you know.
We used to fight all the time.
We still do fight all the time,
but now we got this little man
who makes us think twice
about what we're saying.
Whereas before,
we'd just fly off the handles,
just say stupid things,
not speak to each
other for days,
but then Jake, you know,
set us straight.
Hey, I know that face.
What are you thinking, my man?
What's on your mind, huh?
Is there something
you want to tell me?
Come on, Mike, you can't
just keep this inside.
Whatever it is,
you got to let it out.
It's much better just
to get it out into the ether.
Are you thinking of
proposing to Jenny?
Is that what it is?
- It's, uh...
- What?
It's... It's complicated.
It's a big step.
It's complicated, right.
That is one...
small step...
for mankind...
but that is one giant leap...
for a man.
Aww, man.
You know, you really
are a mess, man, you know that?
What is with you?
Here Hogsden.
We don't detect active
guerrilla troops in your area,
Alpha-Margot, but once they
get their boss back to safety,
those guys might
come back looking for you.
The new extract location
is far enough
from their hideout
and from sandstorms.
We can't make
the Halos fly there
and ground vehicles were not
requested for this mission.
You have to cross the desert.
The dunes keep
shifting their position
and the radio signal
won't always get through.
Hang on, marines.
I can't see
anything through this sand.
I think I see something moving.
Could be locals.
What are they doing?
It looks like...
they're digging...
in the sand.
Hey, if those were Berbers,
that means we're heading in
the right direction.
Well, unless they were
just a refraction.
Huh.
Look, I know it's dramatic,
but it's just
an old Berber trick.
They use these signs to keep
enemies away from their villages.
It just means that
we are almost there, bro'.
The village is probably...
right over that dune,
over there.
Come on, let's go. Hey?
In the last 40 years, there's
been 8,000 declared conflicts.
There's 33 million land mines
buried in this area.
Land mines?
Oh, I like it
when you get optimistic, Mike.
Okay, now you listen,
Mr. Wikipedia,
you can find all
kinds of stuff in the desert.
Look at the condition
that sign is in.
Okay, who knows
where this is from
or what it really says?
Mike, don't get paranoid.
Don't let that thing
mess with you head.
I'm just reviewing our options.
We do have two options
because we're such lucky guys.
Now, we can turn around
and we can die of thirst
or we can get to that village
within the hour, Mike.
I know which option I'm taking.
You know what? I
don't even like water.
Water's overrated, got no taste.
An ice... ice cold slushy,
oh, man...
that'd be so good.
You know, usually
I do a Root Beer,
but I think this time,
I'm gonna go for a strawberry.
Hm-hmm.
Thanks, man.
Ho!
Oh, okay.
Hmm, okay, Mike.
You know what?
You forget what
I said about water.
Hmm!
A couple of drops
really gets you going.
Don't it?
Whoop.
Come on, Mikey.
Come on.
Now, come on, Mike.
Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
Come on, Mike.
Hey, you got to stop
thinking about that sign.
You're over-thinking
this thing, man,
I mean, which
doesn't surprise me,
you know, seeing as you are you.
And, like, you're gonna have
to explain something to me.
Now, why is it that
a psychopath such as yourself...
who ain't afraid
to duke it out with...
How many was it?
I think it was four...
No five... of the biggest
army rangers
I have ever seen.
And yet you piss your pants
at the thought
of a sign that's been
blowing around the desert
for God knows how long.
I've just had a premonition.
I think there's a slushy machine
back at that village.
- Who knows? Maybe...
- Tom...
Tommy! Tommy!
Listen to me, man,
you got to calm down, all right?
Damn it,
you've got to calm down!
Oh why... -Mayday! Mayday!
This is Alpha-Marg...
Oh, Mike, it hurts!
It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!
Tommy, listen to me, man.
I can't move, okay? I stepped
on one of 'em too, all right?
Oh my God! Oh my God! Mike!
Tommy, you
got to calm down, okay?
We gotta get to the village.
If you keep going on like this,
we'll never get there!
You hate the village.
It's okay.
We're gonna get there, okay?
You got to check your radio.
- Yeah!
- Come on, you can do it!
Okay, I can do it, I can...
Mike, I can do it.
- Come on, there you go.
- I can do it, okay, I can...
I can see my pack.
There you go, Marine, come on!
Come on!
No more, Mike! -You got
to check the radio, man!
I can't move. I can't move!
You can do this! Come on!
Just grab your medical kit.
It's in your top middle pocket.
- What? What?
- Come on, man, grab your kit.
Okay, okay.
- Come on, Marine, move!
- Okay, okay!
There you go.
Grab your medical kit.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Good work, Marine!
Here you go, good work.
Good work.
I got 'em. I got 'em. I got 'em.
I got 'em. -There you go.
No, no, Tommy, you need...
Come on, man,
you need that morphine.
Let's go, Marine, come on!
Focus! Focus!
You endure this pain.
You remember
what you learned in training!
We got to get to that village!
And you...
you got to call Jake, man.
- What? Jake?
- That's right.
- Jake... he's waiting for me...
- It's Tuesday, man.
- Yeah, Mhmm.
- That's right, Marine!
Now move!
- Oh, Mike!
- No, don't look at it, Tommy.
- No, Mike, I've got no legs.
- No, Tommy, don't look at it.
I got no legs... -Come on,
man, don't look at it!
- Ahh!
- Don't look at it!
No, Mike, I haven't
got any legs!
Mike, I haven't got any legs!
There you go.
It's right by your side.
There you go. There you go.
Yeah.
Now can you reach your pack?
We need that radio.
Wait, no, Tommy,
one is more than enough, man.
No, Tommy!
Wait... No, no, Tommy,
one is enough!
Okay.
Okay.
All right, I need you
to listen to me, Tommy.
You have to reach your pack!
- You have to check the radio, okay?
- Okay.
Can you reach it?
There you go. Grab your pack.
- There you go.
- I got it.
Good work! -I got it,
I got it, I got it.
Good work!
- Good work!
- Yeah.
- I got it, I got it.
- You got it.
I got it.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Good work, man,
you're gonna be fine.
Alpha-Margot 4.
- Man down, man down.
- Tommy, I'm not copying you.
Man, I'm not hearing you
in my com.
You got to make sure
the radio's on.
I need a phone to call Jake.
I need a phone
to call my... my... my son.
Tommy, I'm not
hearing you on my coms.
You got to... You got
to check the walkie,
- make sure it's on.
- I want a Root Beer!
All right.
- Stay with me, man.
- Why did I want a strawberry?
- Mike, what was I thinking?
- Stay with me, Tommy!
Mike, the village.
I need to get to the village.
- It's gonna be beautiful, Mike.
- Okay.
- It's gonna be so beautiful.
- You're gonna be fine, man.
I'll be right there.
This old mine, it's probably
rusty and dead anyway.
- I'll be right there.
- Oh, no. Oh, no!
- Don't you even think about it, Mike!
- I have to do something.
- No, don't you even think about it, Mike!
- You're losing too much blood!
I'm not gonna
let you die like this!
Tommy, no.
All right, Mike, will you
tell Jake that I love him?
No, Tommy, no.
- You stay alive, man.
- Tommy, no!
Ah, shit.
Ah, ah, ah.
Whoo, whoo.
Ah.
Batteries.
Mayday, mayday, Alpha-Margot 4 to Hogsden.
Do you copy? Over.
Mayday, mayday, Alpha-Margot 4 to Hogsden.
Do you copy? Over.
Base camp here.
We've been looking for you
for hours, Alpha-Margot, over.
Copy you, Hogsden.
Sir, my partner
was killed in action
and I am in critical condition
requesting immediate extract
with E.O.D., over.
Define critical,
staff sergeant, over.
I stepped on
an explosive ordinance, sir.
It's the same kind
that killed my spotter, over.
Major? Over.
What about your
mission, sergeant? Over.
I failed, sir,
but I'm requesting support.
Sir, I am requesting
immediate support, over.
What is your position,
Alpha-Margot? Over.
I can't say for sure.
GPS is kaput.
We're about four hours due east
of mission location.
Roger.
Still two hours
from the village, over.
I don't think you
understand my situation.
I'm stuck with my left foot
on a damn land mine.
- Over.
- Affirmative,
Alpha-Margot,
your situation is clear, over.
That's great.
My situation's clear.
Then come and get me, over.
Negative, the Halos
are still all grounded
because of the sandstorms, over.
Shit.
Okay.
So what's the plan? Over.
There's a convoy
pinned down by fire
from a group of guerrillas
just over the border.
If everything goes well,
they should be passing
by your current location
in about 52 hours, Sergeant.
Over.
Sir, with all due respect,
if everything goes well,
I don't know if I can survive
for 52 hours like this.
Over.
Get ready to signal your
position when the time comes.
We'll try to contact you
via radio
to make sure you're...
still there.
Over.
So that's it?
What about all that
"No man left behind" business?
Over.
Listen, Sergeant Stevens,
as far as we know, the type of
land mines scattered in that area
can remain active
for up to 40 years,
but 10 years after
they're produced,
depending on certain variables,
there's a four percent chance
of their malfunctioning.
Fifteen years after production,
malfunction levels reach
as high as seven percent.
Great.
Given the scenario,
my personal advice,
should you not be able
to resist for long in the desert
for any reason,
is to try the Shuman maneuver.
The Shuman maneuver,
Major? Over.
It is a last resort.
Digging a small
trench to take cover from the explosion.
If you make the sole of your
boot stick to the ground,
- and raise your feet sideways...
- Major? Major? Over.
The damages
caused by the shock waves
would be limited
to non-vital limb loss...
Shuman maneuver, my ass.
Perfect.
What's next, huh?
Sorry, Tom.
I got to get those batteries.
Thanks, man.
No water.
No radio.
It's the end of the line
for you, Mike.
Help!
Hey!
Help!
Okay.
Oh, come on, Mike.
Stop, show me your hands.
Don't take another step!
Do you understand me?
No, no, no, no.
Don't move. Don't move.
This is a... mine field...
full of mines!
Boom!
Pshtt!
Pshtt!
You think this is funny?
Did you put these mines here?
Is that why you
think this is funny?
Look, man, I'm begging you.
I can't stay stuck here forever.
Why you stuck?
Oh, thank God.
Okay, you understand.
All right, look,
I need water and my radio.
Is your village on
the other side of that dune?
Water!
Radio!
Why you stay here?
No go home and-and family?
Are you kidding?
It...
My left foot
is on top of a mine.
If I move it... Pshtt.
Got it?
- This why?
- Yes! This why!
You're sure?
Do you see this body?
This is Thomas Madison,
my best friend,
and he's dead now because he also
stepped on one of your mines!
Mine not mine.
Don't worry about friend.
He find his peace now,
but you alive.
You must take next step now.
No, next...
My next step will be my last.
Got it?
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you. Now, while
you're here, please grab my radio.
My radio... the radio... Look, it's...
it's right there in the pack.
Just grab the radio.
Please.
Radio no good. No music now.
No dancing.
No, you don't understand.
I need it to call...
You need to make next step.
Wait.
Where you going?
And why are you
walking like that?
Do you know where the mines are?
Because I'm standing on one!
I'm on a mine
so there's no next step for me!
You got it, asshole?
You need to keep moving on.
What an idiot.
Oh, come on, marine.
It's a simple job.
This has got to be
better than nothing.
Wait.
Be careful. Be careful.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh, thank you, thank you,
thank you.
Would you tell your dad
I said thank you...
very, very much
and that I've very,
very grateful.
What's that you got there?
It's... a toy soldier.
Look at this.
I got one too.
Is this yours?
Yeah.
He's stuck.
Can't move.
While you're here,
would you mind going
and getting me that radio?
Right there in the pack...
Would you grab
that for me, please?
Please go get the radio.
It's right there.
Come on, you got to at least
look where I am pointing.
Go get the radio!
The radio!
No, wait, wait, wait!
Wait, wait, no, I...
I wasn't yelling at you.
I was... I was just trying
to get the radio.

Your Highness.
This secret message
will serve as your amulet,
protecting you
from all evil, my knight.
Don't torture yourself, okay?
I know you have to do this.
So you go and you...
defeat your demons
like a knight in shining armor.
True of heart
and strong of armor.
I know everything's
gonna be all right.
I...
I know it is...
but don't take too long.
You go win this war
and come back to me.
Otherwise,
I might just find myself
another bad boy...
Like a Delta Force guy or...
Or a ranger.
I love you.
You very lucky man.
Here we go again.
Look, man, I'm not in the
mood for your bullshit.
I didn't sleep that well
last night.
What your name?
Mike.
Mike!
Mike in your language
is Man-No-Take-Next-Step.
No.
Mike is Michael.
What would that mean
to a Berber?
Mike is Michael. Hmm.
You say me "Berber."
You know what means Berber?
I do.
It's a guy who won't
bring you his radio
if he asks you for it.
And I bet your daughter
had to bring me that canteen
without telling you
last night, huh?
In my language,
Berber is free man.
Why you no free man?
Okay. Okay.
You foot on mine. Ha!
- Finally.
- But you very lucky man.
Huh? You.
Foot on mine
and mine no explode.
Night in desert
and animal no eat you.
You very lucky
man, Mike is Michael.
Okay, great.
Thank you. Now, can we just...
Mike is Michael...
why you put foot on mine, huh?
Obviously, I didn't know
there was a mine here
when I put my foot on it.
I don't know where
the mines are, like you do.
You are wrong, Mike is Michael.
We don't know
where the mines are.
I see you guys
walking around here
all zig-zaggy.
You know the right path.
I don't know
where the mines are.
If I walk straight
on mine field,
now or later,
I step on mine, sure.
I know your problem,
Mike is Michael.
Hmm.
- You afraid.
- Yeah.
No shit. Tell me about it.
No, no, no understand.
Where we are now no matter.
Only matter where
we want to go, huh?
I only want to go home, eh?
To... to family.
I only follow my destiny.
Well, it looks like
my destiny stops here.
I took my last false step.
Every day, huh? Every day your
step can be your last step.
What difference today?
The difference is that today...
I know.
And even if I was a lucky man,
I only have a seven percent
chance of not dying.
Seven percent, good.
Huh?
Look...
this has been delightfully
philosophical and all that...
but would you mind...
handing me...
that radio?
Thank you.
Hello? No, no, he's busy.
Hey...
Why you put foot on mine?
Because we were
on our way to the village.
Why reach village?
Because we were
lost in the desert.
Why in desert? -Because
that was our mission.
- Why mission?
- Because we're at war.
Why you fight war?
Huh?
You want to kill enemy?
I'm a soldier.
And why you a soldier?
Because...
I had no reason to stay.
I had no one any more.
Why no one any more?
Hey.
You still want radio?
Ah.
Mayday, mayday...
Become free man.
You have to move on.
Even wrong path
can take you home.
I'll never make it.
Stay alive, man.
Shh.
Shh, no, it's okay.
It's gonna be okay. Shut up.
Shut up.
What else was I supposed to do?
Where were you
when she was sick?
Why don't you
just leave me alone?
So what? You just...
You want to disappear for years
to God knows where
and then you want to
come and have a talk?
Great.
Let's talk.
We're here.
A perfect opportunity.
What do you got? Huh?
Don't you dare bring her up.
Don't you even say her name.
What are
you so mad at, my friend?
Tommy?
Whoa, you're a real mess, man.
Let's get a move-on, soldier.
We're going home.
Or do you think that Jen is
gonna wait for you forever?
But you were my friend.
I'm not going anywhere.
Mayday, ma... Mayday.
Mayday... mayday.
No use.
Convoy's coming.
They'll call us
when the signal improves.
There's no use us
keep calling them
because we're just gonna
kill the battery.
Right?
- Right.
- Right.
Oh, Mike, come on.
Stop it, Mike, please.
This is just your imagination.
There is no way
your cell phone is ringing
out here in the middle
of the desert.
Look...
There's no way
this could be happening.
You know that, right?
You don't know
shit about this, Tom!
You know what? That's true.
You never had the balls
to say a single word to me
about what was
eating you up inside.
I'm sorry, Tommy.
He left you when
you needed him most.
It's just what I did to Jenny.
It's not the same thing.
I'm just like him.
No, you're not.
Because you are gonna
go back to Jenny.
Because Jenny loves you
for who you are.
She's waiting for you.
That's the
reason you need to stay alive.
Watch out.
I don't have enough
ammo to kill 'em all.
You're right. We're gonna
have to try the maneuver.
What maneuver? -The maneuver...
the damn Shuman maneuver.
Oh, you got to be kidding.
That'll never work.
If all the
dogs attack you at once,
they're gonna knock you over
and that mine's gonna explode.
Now, hurry up. We got no time.
That's it. Now, you pin
your sole to that ground...
it should work.
The mine sensor won't
immediately register
the change of pressure.
You ever hear about this
working in real life?
Good!
At least we gained yourself
a couple 10ths of a second.
You might not get out
of this unscathed,
but you will get out of it.
Now, marine... dig!
- This is bullshit!
- Come on!
That's it! Don't stop.
Come on! Don't stop!
Keep on digging!
Dig, Marine, dig! Come on!
Mike! Mike!
Do it! Do it... now!
Your Highness.
I hereby swear...
to be a courageous knight...
reverent and courteous...
a champion of truth and justice.
I hereby swear
to be honest and good.
I swear...
to protect our realm.
I swear these things...
before you...
my princess.
Can I get that beer now?
Please?
Alpha-Margot 4, Alpha-Margot 4.
This is Hogsden. How copy? Over.
Hogsden, this is...
Alpha-M...
Alpha-Mar...
It's me.
It's Mike.
I hear you.
Roger, Alpha-Margot-4,
your extract convoy is en-route.
Echo Bravo 3 is headed
in your direction, Sergeant.
The convoy is taking...
Echo Bravo 3 has been
bogged down in a firefight.
It's behind schedule.
The new ETA of extract
is now 17 hours.
How copy...
You have to hold on at least
another 17 hours, Sergeant.
Can you do that? Over.
No.
I can't.
Sergeant Stevens...
I have someone here you'd
like to speak to, I believe.
Considering your situation,
we thought to call your...
Is it Jenny?
Can I please talk to Jenny?
Communication not clear.
- Do you read me?
- Jenny?
Do you hear me?
Babe! Baby, it's...
Jenny...
I'm so sorry.
I messed everything up as usual.
So you don't have to say
that everything
is gonna be okay this way.
You don't...
have to say that
that's our deal...
That I break everything
and you fix it...
'cause I broke our deal.
I shouldn't have gone.
I should've stayed...
I should've done
so many things different...
but everything I touch
falls apart.
Everything beautiful
gets destroyed...
and that's why I'm here.
I am a free man, but not
always a very lucky man.
When mine took my leg,
I think my life finished.
I remember good like yesterday.
I very afraid in the hospital.
I think only,
"I have no leg any more."
I think only,
"I can do nothing any more."
There was a... a radio
making music in the hospital
and the singer say,
♪ You got to keep moving on ♪
♪ You got to keep moving on ♪
But I no listen to the singer.
I only think about my leg.
My leg that was gone
and how everything...
would be bad in my future.
But then a nurse came in
and she smiled at... me.
And I listened to the song.
♪ You got to keep moving on ♪
♪ You got to keep moving on ♪
Maybe this bad thing
was only way
to reach good thing.
Huh?
This is how I met my wife.
She cured me.
And our children come.
My life with only one leg...
is good.
You understand what I say? Yeah?
Now...
This will make
you crazy, now, huh.
You will see things, huh?
And then everything good.
Huh, come. Come.
Hey, ahh.
When I saw your daughter...
she brought me my canteen.
I take you canteen,
Mike is Michael.
You're wrong to say
you're not a lucky man.
She's a beautiful little girl.
She has your smile.
Huh.
I only have three sons... now.
My daughter was with me when...
mine exploded...
many years ago.
We take mines together,
sell them to guerrillas.
Mines very precious.
We very poor.
She very good.
She take stick and put it inside
and touch the mine
and dig very, very slow,
and take out mine
and put in tin can.
Metal detector
don't see difference.
But one day...
mine take my leg.
I no lucky.
I get life and her
time come before mine.
But I happy that
desert play tricks on you
and make you meet her.
I lose a lot for...
stand on mine that day.
'Cause I am not
a very lucky man like you...
but I am free man.
I've moved on.
I always move on
because you've got to
keep moving on.
I make always next step,
even if next step hard
and take long
and make... scared.
You know how not to be scared?
Must become...
free man.
Ahh.
Don't go.
Don't you leave me too.
I got a problem with...
some guys at work.
I don't think
they like me, Rose.
I don't know.
Maybe just try and relax.
Just tell me
that you call this respect.
I'm sorry,
but I was just trying
to explain the situation.
Just tell me, Rose,
that you call this respect.
I'm sorry.
Well, you don't show it, Rose.
I respect you, Bob.
You know that.
Just don't do that, okay?
You're gonna wake Mike.
Please.
I don't care who I wake.
You hear me?
In my house... and I deserve
respect from you, Rose!
- You understand me?
- I understand.
I respect you, Bob.
You know that.
I respect you.
It's like a war out there,
you know,
trying to get money
to put food on the table
for you...
For you and
that little runt... I...
You know, maybe just try to...
I don't know...
Just stop drinking
for a bit, maybe,
- that might help.
- Shut up, Rose!
Hey, baby.
Hey.
Hey, Mikey.
Did I wake you?
You have something to say, kid?
Let's hear it. Come on, son.
I'm right here.
Did you wet the bed!
He's a child, remember.
- Did you go and piss on yourself, Mikey?
- Just leave him alone.
- He's a chi... No!
- Rose!
Shut up, Rose!
Get out of this house!
Just get out! -Is this
what you call respect...
Rose?
You know at your age, kid,
I was a man.
Don't you dare
talk to me that way...
in front of... Mikey!
So... Mikey,
you ain't got
no balls, 'eh, kid?
That's no problem. I'm gonna
show you how to grow some.
You have something to say, kid?
Let's hear it.
I'm right here!
Come on.
- Come on, boy.
- Come on, boy.
- I'm right here.
- I'm right here.
Hey, hey, wait a minute,
sweetheart, what's the hurry?
Come on, sit down with us
for a while, why don't you?
We don't bite, you'll see.
You know, it's really not
the night for this.
All right? -Well, then let's
make it the right night then.
Come on, honey.
Come on, sit over here.
You got something to say?
Let's hear it.
Let's hear it.
Come on, boy, I'm right here.
Hey, hey, Mike.
Hey, Mike. Mike! Look at me.
Now, you see them over there?
The cavalry's
finally arrived, Mike.
It's a mirage.
- I can't do this any more.
- No.
No, Mike.
Mike, that is no mirage.
They here, my friend.
There's no mirage!
Now, we need to tell them
that we're here,
otherwise they're
not gonna find us.
Alpha-Margot 4,
Alpha-Margot 4,
Echo Bravo 3 is in location.
Where are you, Sergeant Stevens?
Signal your position.
I'm here.
I'm here!
Alpha-Margot 4, we're leaving.
- I'm over here.
- We can't stay long.
We can't find you.
Where are you?
No, no.
No.
No, we're over here.
Over here.
Come on, Mike.
Mike, we are not
getting anywhere this way.
You need to focus.
That is one...
small step for mankind...
but one giant leap for a man.
- Can you hear me?
- You need to get a move-on.
- I'm over here.
- 'Cause you're getting married.
You remember that?
You remember?
No, you're dead.
Tommy's dead.
Do you thus pay homage
to our crown
and swear fealty on our realm?
Your Highness,
I hereby swear to be
a courageous knight...
reverent and courteous always,
a champion of truth and justice.
And I hereby swear
to be honest and good.
And I swear to protect our realm
and I swear this before you...
my princess.
Yes.
Yes, what?
Yes, you will be a courageous...
courageous knight.
Stay alive, Mike is Michael.
You have to let me go, Mike.
Don't be afraid
to stop suffering, sweetheart.
I'm not...
not any more.
You're a strong boy.
You're honest...
and you're good.
And I know that no one's
ever gonna stop you...
ever.
But you have to let me go.
You have to move on.
Come on, son!
I'm right here!
Can I get that beer now please?
Jenny?
That's why you're here, Mike.
That's why you're here.
You have to move on.
Seven percent.
Good.
Okay, I just got us a new friend.
Targets, two o'clock.
Range, 1,708 meters.
Wind, from three o'clock,
six miles per dial wind right
2.3 mils.
Now, Mike, I know you're good.
No, I mean you're real good.
Right?
But you are not that good.
We're not
here to play games, man.
So what are we here for then?
Huh?
I know what you're thinking.
We're here to
complete our mission, Tommy.
I mean, come on, dude.
What's your point, Tommy?
All right, look,
my point is... my point is...
We've been here for what...
What is it now?
Two months?
Three months and six days.
My man, that is my point.
That is my point exactly.
Three months and six days
since you last seen Jenny.
Oh, Jenny...
Jenny, I love you.
Jenny, I want to kiss you.
Oh, Jenny, what you need?
Kiss me.
- Contact.
- What?
Shit.
Here we go.
Hogsden,
Hogsden, Alpha-Margot 4,
Elvis is in the building, over.
Here, Hogsden.
The target should be aboard a
black Land Cruiser with guards.
Do you confirm
the target's presence, over?
They said black.
It's gray.
It's a different vehicle.
It's still a Land Cruiser, Mike.
Something's happening.
It looks they're about to...
perform some kind of ceremony.
Land Cruiser approaching.
The designated
target is Said Assiff, 65.
Confirm, over.
Target, Ten o'clock.
Range, 977 meters.
Copy, 9-7-7. Indexed.
He could have grown a beard
since he was photographed.
It could be him.
Target confirmed.
Send it.
It's a wedding.
So what?
Say again, over.
So what?
Proceed and confirm your zero.
Over.
Send it.
Send it.
Alpha-Margot-4, confirm hit.
Over.
I don't have a good shot.
Hogsden, the groom's
in the way of the target.
Awaiting your orders, sir, over.
Mike, no. Mike, man, don't
get any funny ideas, right?
This is what we're here for.
Neutralize the target, over.
Mike, get yourself out
of this spiritual crisis
and just shoot the damn guy.
Alpha-Margot 4 to Hogsden,
it's a wedding.
You're asking me to shoot
the father of the groom
and the groom.
Please confirm, over.
Alpha-Margot
4, it took us 30 months
to locate the target,
Said Assiff.
As far as we know,
Assiff doesn't have any son,
but he could be part
of the same terrorist cell.
Don't wait for a clear shot.
Neutralize and confirm, over.
You see, Mike, man,
even terrorists get married.
We don't even know
if that is Said Assiff.
He got out of a different colored
car and at this distance,
you know you can't
make a positive I.D.
Send it, Mike.
Send the God-damned shot, Mike.
Confirm, over.
Take the God-damn shot, Mike!
Hogsden, target's moving.
I lost 'em.
- Alpha-Margot 4, out.
- Damn it, Mike!
Alpha-Margot 4, mission aborted.
Request extract.
Get us out of here, over.
Give us your new
position, Alpha-Margot, over.
Negative, GPS broken, over.
Roger, wait for new orders.
We're looking for a new p...
- What are you doing?
- Something.
Mayday, Mayday, Alpha-Margot
4 requests immediate extract.
The sandstorm is
increasing in force, over.
The new extract
location is a village six klicks west.
How copy? Over.
Negative. Do not copy!
Village is 15 klicks
west from here? Over!
Well, that's great, Mike.
Five hours on foot.
That's west. -I know
which way is west, Mike.
You know what day it is?
It's Tuesday.
It's not just any Tuesday, Mike.
This is the second Tuesday
of the month,
which means my son
is expecting my call.
I know.
I haven't let him down yet.
What do you guys
talk about anyway?
What is he? Four?
Actually, Mike, he's
decided that he's, um...
He's gonna be a vegetarian.
The other day Anne
was in the house
and she was, like, cleaning up.
She looks into the backyard
and there's Jake running around,
running around...
She's like, "Jake!
Jake, what are you doing?"
And, uh, he turns around.
He's eating a leaf
and he goes,
"My name isn't Jake."
"I'm a Brontosaurus! Rawr!"
Oh, man, that guy's nuts.
I know it's
probably all bullshit,
but, you know, it just
makes me feel better.
It's crazy, right?
You know, Mike, I used
to think that our marriage
was this big, big, big,
big mistake...
You know, a curse.
Then Jake comes along
and he changes everything,
you know.
We used to fight all the time.
We still do fight all the time,
but now we got this little man
who makes us think twice
about what we're saying.
Whereas before,
we'd just fly off the handles,
just say stupid things,
not speak to each
other for days,
but then Jake, you know,
set us straight.
Hey, I know that face.
What are you thinking, my man?
What's on your mind, huh?
Is there something
you want to tell me?
Come on, Mike, you can't
just keep this inside.
Whatever it is,
you got to let it out.
It's much better just
to get it out into the ether.
Are you thinking of
proposing to Jenny?
Is that what it is?
- It's, uh...
- What?
It's... It's complicated.
It's a big step.
It's complicated, right.
That is one...
small step...
for mankind...
but that is one giant leap...
for a man.
Aww, man.
You know, you really
are a mess, man, you know that?
What is with you?
Here Hogsden.
We don't detect active
guerrilla troops in your area,
Alpha-Margot, but once they
get their boss back to safety,
those guys might
come back looking for you.
The new extract location
is far enough
from their hideout
and from sandstorms.
We can't make
the Halos fly there
and ground vehicles were not
requested for this mission.
You have to cross the desert.
The dunes keep
shifting their position
and the radio signal
won't always get through.
Hang on, marines.
I can't see
anything through this sand.
I think I see something moving.
Could be locals.
What are they doing?
It looks like...
they're digging...
in the sand.
Hey, if those were Berbers,
that means we're heading in
the right direction.
Well, unless they were
just a refraction.
Huh.
Look, I know it's dramatic,
but it's just
an old Berber trick.
They use these signs to keep
enemies away from their villages.
It just means that
we are almost there, bro'.
The village is probably...
right over that dune,
over there.
Come on, let's go. Hey?
In the last 40 years, there's
been 8,000 declared conflicts.
There's 33 million land mines
buried in this area.
Land mines?
Oh, I like it
when you get optimistic, Mike.
Okay, now you listen,
Mr. Wikipedia,
you can find all
kinds of stuff in the desert.
Look at the condition
that sign is in.
Okay, who knows
where this is from
or what it really says?
Mike, don't get paranoid.
Don't let that thing
mess with you head.
I'm just reviewing our options.
We do have two options
because we're such lucky guys.
Now, we can turn around
and we can die of thirst
or we can get to that village
within the hour, Mike.
I know which option I'm taking.
You know what? I
don't even like water.
Water's overrated, got no taste.
An ice... ice cold slushy,
oh, man...
that'd be so good.
You know, usually
I do a Root Beer,
but I think this time,
I'm gonna go for a strawberry.
Hm-hmm.
Thanks, man.
Ho!
Oh, okay.
Hmm, okay, Mike.
You know what?
You forget what
I said about water.
Hmm!
A couple of drops
really gets you going.
Don't it?
Whoop.
Come on, Mikey.
Come on.
Now, come on, Mike.
Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
Come on, Mike.
Hey, you got to stop
thinking about that sign.
You're over-thinking
this thing, man,
I mean, which
doesn't surprise me,
you know, seeing as you are you.
And, like, you're gonna have
to explain something to me.
Now, why is it that
a psychopath such as yourself...
who ain't afraid
to duke it out with...
How many was it?
I think it was four...
No five... of the biggest
army rangers
I have ever seen.
And yet you piss your pants
at the thought
of a sign that's been
blowing around the desert
for God knows how long.
I've just had a premonition.
I think there's a slushy machine
back at that village.
- Who knows? Maybe...
- Tom...
Tommy! Tommy!
Listen to me, man,
you got to calm down, all right?
Damn it,
you've got to calm down!
Oh why... -Mayday! Mayday!
This is Alpha-Marg...
Oh, Mike, it hurts!
It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!
Tommy, listen to me, man.
I can't move, okay? I stepped
on one of 'em too, all right?
Oh my God! Oh my God! Mike!
Tommy, you
got to calm down, okay?
We gotta get to the village.
If you keep going on like this,
we'll never get there!
You hate the village.
It's okay.
We're gonna get there, okay?
You got to check your radio.
- Yeah!
- Come on, you can do it!
Okay, I can do it, I can...
Mike, I can do it.
- Come on, there you go.
- I can do it, okay, I can...
I can see my pack.
There you go, Marine, come on!
Come on!
No more, Mike! -You got
to check the radio, man!
I can't move. I can't move!
You can do this! Come on!
Just grab your medical kit.
It's in your top middle pocket.
- What? What?
- Come on, man, grab your kit.
Okay, okay.
- Come on, Marine, move!
- Okay, okay!
There you go.
Grab your medical kit.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Good work, Marine!
Here you go, good work.
Good work.
I got 'em. I got 'em. I got 'em.
I got 'em. -There you go.
No, no, Tommy, you need...
Come on, man,
you need that morphine.
Let's go, Marine, come on!
Focus! Focus!
You endure this pain.
You remember
what you learned in training!
We got to get to that village!
And you...
you got to call Jake, man.
- What? Jake?
- That's right.
- Jake... he's waiting for me...
- It's Tuesday, man.
- Yeah, Mhmm.
- That's right, Marine!
Now move!
- Oh, Mike!
- No, don't look at it, Tommy.
- No, Mike, I've got no legs.
- No, Tommy, don't look at it.
I got no legs... -Come on,
man, don't look at it!
- Ahh!
- Don't look at it!
No, Mike, I haven't
got any legs!
Mike, I haven't got any legs!
There you go.
It's right by your side.
There you go. There you go.
Yeah.
Now can you reach your pack?
We need that radio.
Wait, no, Tommy,
one is more than enough, man.
No, Tommy!
Wait... No, no, Tommy,
one is enough!
Okay.
Okay.
All right, I need you
to listen to me, Tommy.
You have to reach your pack!
- You have to check the radio, okay?
- Okay.
Can you reach it?
There you go. Grab your pack.
- There you go.
- I got it.
Good work! -I got it,
I got it, I got it.
Good work!
- Good work!
- Yeah.
- I got it, I got it.
- You got it.
I got it.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Good work, man,
you're gonna be fine.
Alpha-Margot 4.
- Man down, man down.
- Tommy, I'm not copying you.
Man, I'm not hearing you
in my com.
You got to make sure
the radio's on.
I need a phone to call Jake.
I need a phone
to call my... my... my son.
Tommy, I'm not
hearing you on my coms.
You got to... You got
to check the walkie,
- make sure it's on.
- I want a Root Beer!
All right.
- Stay with me, man.
- Why did I want a strawberry?
- Mike, what was I thinking?
- Stay with me, Tommy!
Mike, the village.
I need to get to the village.
- It's gonna be beautiful, Mike.
- Okay.
- It's gonna be so beautiful.
- You're gonna be fine, man.
I'll be right there.
This old mine, it's probably
rusty and dead anyway.
- I'll be right there.
- Oh, no. Oh, no!
- Don't you even think about it, Mike!
- I have to do something.
- No, don't you even think about it, Mike!
- You're losing too much blood!
I'm not gonna
let you die like this!
Tommy, no.
All right, Mike, will you
tell Jake that I love him?
No, Tommy, no.
- You stay alive, man.
- Tommy, no!
Ah, shit.
Ah, ah, ah.
Whoo, whoo.
Ah.
Batteries.
Mayday, mayday, Alpha-Margot 4 to Hogsden.
Do you copy? Over.
Mayday, mayday, Alpha-Margot 4 to Hogsden.
Do you copy? Over.
Base camp here.
We've been looking for you
for hours, Alpha-Margot, over.
Copy you, Hogsden.
Sir, my partner
was killed in action
and I am in critical condition
requesting immediate extract
with E.O.D., over.
Define critical,
staff sergeant, over.
I stepped on
an explosive ordinance, sir.
It's the same kind
that killed my spotter, over.
Major? Over.
What about your
mission, sergeant? Over.
I failed, sir,
but I'm requesting support.
Sir, I am requesting
immediate support, over.
What is your position,
Alpha-Margot? Over.
I can't say for sure.
GPS is kaput.
We're about four hours due east
of mission location.
Roger.
Still two hours
from the village, over.
I don't think you
understand my situation.
I'm stuck with my left foot
on a damn land mine.
- Over.
- Affirmative,
Alpha-Margot,
your situation is clear, over.
That's great.
My situation's clear.
Then come and get me, over.
Negative, the Halos
are still all grounded
because of the sandstorms, over.
Shit.
Okay.
So what's the plan? Over.
There's a convoy
pinned down by fire
from a group of guerrillas
just over the border.
If everything goes well,
they should be passing
by your current location
in about 52 hours, Sergeant.
Over.
Sir, with all due respect,
if everything goes well,
I don't know if I can survive
for 52 hours like this.
Over.
Get ready to signal your
position when the time comes.
We'll try to contact you
via radio
to make sure you're...
still there.
Over.
So that's it?
What about all that
"No man left behind" business?
Over.
Listen, Sergeant Stevens,
as far as we know, the type of
land mines scattered in that area
can remain active
for up to 40 years,
but 10 years after
they're produced,
depending on certain variables,
there's a four percent chance
of their malfunctioning.
Fifteen years after production,
malfunction levels reach
as high as seven percent.
Great.
Given the scenario,
my personal advice,
should you not be able
to resist for long in the desert
for any reason,
is to try the Shuman maneuver.
The Shuman maneuver,
Major? Over.
It is a last resort.
Digging a small
trench to take cover from the explosion.
If you make the sole of your
boot stick to the ground,
- and raise your feet sideways...
- Major? Major? Over.
The damages
caused by the shock waves
would be limited
to non-vital limb loss...
Shuman maneuver, my ass.
Perfect.
What's next, huh?
Sorry, Tom.
I got to get those batteries.
Thanks, man.
No water.
No radio.
It's the end of the line
for you, Mike.
Help!
Hey!
Help!
Okay.
Oh, come on, Mike.
Stop, show me your hands.
Don't take another step!
Do you understand me?
No, no, no, no.
Don't move. Don't move.
This is a... mine field...
full of mines!
Boom!
Pshtt!
Pshtt!
You think this is funny?
Did you put these mines here?
Is that why you
think this is funny?
Look, man, I'm begging you.
I can't stay stuck here forever.
Why you stuck?
Oh, thank God.
Okay, you understand.
All right, look,
I need water and my radio.
Is your village on
the other side of that dune?
Water!
Radio!
Why you stay here?
No go home and-and family?
Are you kidding?
It...
My left foot
is on top of a mine.
If I move it... Pshtt.
Got it?
- This why?
- Yes! This why!
You're sure?
Do you see this body?
This is Thomas Madison,
my best friend,
and he's dead now because he also
stepped on one of your mines!
Mine not mine.
Don't worry about friend.
He find his peace now,
but you alive.
You must take next step now.
No, next...
My next step will be my last.
Got it?
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you. Now, while
you're here, please grab my radio.
My radio... the radio... Look, it's...
it's right there in the pack.
Just grab the radio.
Please.
Radio no good. No music now.
No dancing.
No, you don't understand.
I need it to call...
You need to make next step.
Wait.
Where you going?
And why are you
walking like that?
Do you know where the mines are?
Because I'm standing on one!
I'm on a mine
so there's no next step for me!
You got it, asshole?
You need to keep moving on.
What an idiot.
Oh, come on, marine.
It's a simple job.
This has got to be
better than nothing.
Wait.
Be careful. Be careful.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh, thank you, thank you,
thank you.
Would you tell your dad
I said thank you...
very, very much
and that I've very,
very grateful.
What's that you got there?
It's... a toy soldier.
Look at this.
I got one too.
Is this yours?
Yeah.
He's stuck.
Can't move.
While you're here,
would you mind going
and getting me that radio?
Right there in the pack...
Would you grab
that for me, please?
Please go get the radio.
It's right there.
Come on, you got to at least
look where I am pointing.
Go get the radio!
The radio!
No, wait, wait, wait!
Wait, wait, no, I...
I wasn't yelling at you.
I was... I was just trying
to get the radio.

Your Highness.
This secret message
will serve as your amulet,
protecting you
from all evil, my knight.
Don't torture yourself, okay?
I know you have to do this.
So you go and you...
defeat your demons
like a knight in shining armor.
True of heart
and strong of armor.
I know everything's
gonna be all right.
I...
I know it is...
but don't take too long.
You go win this war
and come back to me.
Otherwise,
I might just find myself
another bad boy...
Like a Delta Force guy or...
Or a ranger.
I love you.
You very lucky man.
Here we go again.
Look, man, I'm not in the
mood for your bullshit.
I didn't sleep that well
last night.
What your name?
Mike.
Mike!
Mike in your language
is Man-No-Take-Next-Step.
No.
Mike is Michael.
What would that mean
to a Berber?
Mike is Michael. Hmm.
You say me "Berber."
You know what means Berber?
I do.
It's a guy who won't
bring you his radio
if he asks you for it.
And I bet your daughter
had to bring me that canteen
without telling you
last night, huh?
In my language,
Berber is free man.
Why you no free man?
Okay. Okay.
You foot on mine. Ha!
- Finally.
- But you very lucky man.
Huh? You.
Foot on mine
and mine no explode.
Night in desert
and animal no eat you.
You very lucky
man, Mike is Michael.
Okay, great.
Thank you. Now, can we just...
Mike is Michael...
why you put foot on mine, huh?
Obviously, I didn't know
there was a mine here
when I put my foot on it.
I don't know where
the mines are, like you do.
You are wrong, Mike is Michael.
We don't know
where the mines are.
I see you guys
walking around here
all zig-zaggy.
You know the right path.
I don't know
where the mines are.
If I walk straight
on mine field,
now or later,
I step on mine, sure.
I know your problem,
Mike is Michael.
Hmm.
- You afraid.
- Yeah.
No shit. Tell me about it.
No, no, no understand.
Where we are now no matter.
Only matter where
we want to go, huh?
I only want to go home, eh?
To... to family.
I only follow my destiny.
Well, it looks like
my destiny stops here.
I took my last false step.
Every day, huh? Every day your
step can be your last step.
What difference today?
The difference is that today...
I know.
And even if I was a lucky man,
I only have a seven percent
chance of not dying.
Seven percent, good.
Huh?
Look...
this has been delightfully
philosophical and all that...
but would you mind...
handing me...
that radio?
Thank you.
Hello? No, no, he's busy.
Hey...
Why you put foot on mine?
Because we were
on our way to the village.
Why reach village?
Because we were
lost in the desert.
Why in desert? -Because
that was our mission.
- Why mission?
- Because we're at war.
Why you fight war?
Huh?
You want to kill enemy?
I'm a soldier.
And why you a soldier?
Because...
I had no reason to stay.
I had no one any more.
Why no one any more?
Hey.
You still want radio?
Ah.
Mayday, mayday...
Become free man.
You have to move on.
Even wrong path
can take you home.
I'll never make it.
Stay alive, man.
Shh.
Shh, no, it's okay.
It's gonna be okay. Shut up.
Shut up.
What else was I supposed to do?
Where were you
when she was sick?
Why don't you
just leave me alone?
So what? You just...
You want to disappear for years
to God knows where
and then you want to
come and have a talk?
Great.
Let's talk.
We're here.
A perfect opportunity.
What do you got? Huh?
Don't you dare bring her up.
Don't you even say her name.
What are
you so mad at, my friend?
Tommy?
Whoa, you're a real mess, man.
Let's get a move-on, soldier.
We're going home.
Or do you think that Jen is
gonna wait for you forever?
But you were my friend.
I'm not going anywhere.
Mayday, ma... Mayday.
Mayday... mayday.
No use.
Convoy's coming.
They'll call us
when the signal improves.
There's no use us
keep calling them
because we're just gonna
kill the battery.
Right?
- Right.
- Right.
Oh, Mike, come on.
Stop it, Mike, please.
This is just your imagination.
There is no way
your cell phone is ringing
out here in the middle
of the desert.
Look...
There's no way
this could be happening.
You know that, right?
You don't know
shit about this, Tom!
You know what? That's true.
You never had the balls
to say a single word to me
about what was
eating you up inside.
I'm sorry, Tommy.
He left you when
you needed him most.
It's just what I did to Jenny.
It's not the same thing.
I'm just like him.
No, you're not.
Because you are gonna
go back to Jenny.
Because Jenny loves you
for who you are.
She's waiting for you.
That's the
reason you need to stay alive.
Watch out.
I don't have enough
ammo to kill 'em all.
You're right. We're gonna
have to try the maneuver.
What maneuver? -The maneuver...
the damn Shuman maneuver.
Oh, you got to be kidding.
That'll never work.
If all the
dogs attack you at once,
they're gonna knock you over
and that mine's gonna explode.
Now, hurry up. We got no time.
That's it. Now, you pin
your sole to that ground...
it should work.
The mine sensor won't
immediately register
the change of pressure.
You ever hear about this
working in real life?
Good!
At least we gained yourself
a couple 10ths of a second.
You might not get out
of this unscathed,
but you will get out of it.
Now, marine... dig!
- This is bullshit!
- Come on!
That's it! Don't stop.
Come on! Don't stop!
Keep on digging!
Dig, Marine, dig! Come on!
Mike! Mike!
Do it! Do it... now!
Your Highness.
I hereby swear...
to be a courageous knight...
reverent and courteous...
a champion of truth and justice.
I hereby swear
to be honest and good.
I swear...
to protect our realm.
I swear these things...
before you...
my princess.
Can I get that beer now?
Please?
Alpha-Margot 4, Alpha-Margot 4.
This is Hogsden. How copy? Over.
Hogsden, this is...
Alpha-M...
Alpha-Mar...
It's me.
It's Mike.
I hear you.
Roger, Alpha-Margot-4,
your extract convoy is en-route.
Echo Bravo 3 is headed
in your direction, Sergeant.
The convoy is taking...
Echo Bravo 3 has been
bogged down in a firefight.
It's behind schedule.
The new ETA of extract
is now 17 hours.
How copy...
You have to hold on at least
another 17 hours, Sergeant.
Can you do that? Over.
No.
I can't.
Sergeant Stevens...
I have someone here you'd
like to speak to, I believe.
Considering your situation,
we thought to call your...
Is it Jenny?
Can I please talk to Jenny?
Communication not clear.
- Do you read me?
- Jenny?
Do you hear me?
Babe! Baby, it's...
Jenny...
I'm so sorry.
I messed everything up as usual.
So you don't have to say
that everything
is gonna be okay this way.
You don't...
have to say that
that's our deal...
That I break everything
and you fix it...
'cause I broke our deal.
I shouldn't have gone.
I should've stayed...
I should've done
so many things different...
but everything I touch
falls apart.
Everything beautiful
gets destroyed...
and that's why I'm here.
I am a free man, but not
always a very lucky man.
When mine took my leg,
I think my life finished.
I remember good like yesterday.
I very afraid in the hospital.
I think only,
"I have no leg any more."
I think only,
"I can do nothing any more."
There was a... a radio
making music in the hospital
and the singer say,
♪ You got to keep moving on ♪
♪ You got to keep moving on ♪
But I no listen to the singer.
I only think about my leg.
My leg that was gone
and how everything...
would be bad in my future.
But then a nurse came in
and she smiled at... me.
And I listened to the song.
♪ You got to keep moving on ♪
♪ You got to keep moving on ♪
Maybe this bad thing
was only way
to reach good thing.
Huh?
This is how I met my wife.
She cured me.
And our children come.
My life with only one leg...
is good.
You understand what I say? Yeah?
Now...
This will make
you crazy, now, huh.
You will see things, huh?
And then everything good.
Huh, come. Come.
Hey, ahh.
When I saw your daughter...
she brought me my canteen.
I take you canteen,
Mike is Michael.
You're wrong to say
you're not a lucky man.
She's a beautiful little girl.
She has your smile.
Huh.
I only have three sons... now.
My daughter was with me when...
mine exploded...
many years ago.
We take mines together,
sell them to guerrillas.
Mines very precious.
We very poor.
She very good.
She take stick and put it inside
and touch the mine
and dig very, very slow,
and take out mine
and put in tin can.
Metal detector
don't see difference.
But one day...
mine take my leg.
I no lucky.
I get life and her
time come before mine.
But I happy that
desert play tricks on you
and make you meet her.
I lose a lot for...
stand on mine that day.
'Cause I am not
a very lucky man like you...
but I am free man.
I've moved on.
I always move on
because you've got to
keep moving on.
I make always next step,
even if next step hard
and take long
and make... scared.
You know how not to be scared?
Must become...
free man.
Ahh.
Don't go.
Don't you leave me too.
I got a problem with...
some guys at work.
I don't think
they like me, Rose.
I don't know.
Maybe just try and relax.
Just tell me
that you call this respect.
I'm sorry,
but I was just trying
to explain the situation.
Just tell me, Rose,
that you call this respect.
I'm sorry.
Well, you don't show it, Rose.
I respect you, Bob.
You know that.
Just don't do that, okay?
You're gonna wake Mike.
Please.
I don't care who I wake.
You hear me?
In my house... and I deserve
respect from you, Rose!
- You understand me?
- I understand.
I respect you, Bob.
You know that.
I respect you.
It's like a war out there,
you know,
trying to get money
to put food on the table
for you...
For you and
that little runt... I...
You know, maybe just try to...
I don't know...
Just stop drinking
for a bit, maybe,
- that might help.
- Shut up, Rose!
Hey, baby.
Hey.
Hey, Mikey.
Did I wake you?
You have something to say, kid?
Let's hear it. Come on, son.
I'm right here.
Did you wet the bed!
He's a child, remember.
- Did you go and piss on yourself, Mikey?
- Just leave him alone.
- He's a chi... No!
- Rose!
Shut up, Rose!
Get out of this house!
Just get out! -Is this
what you call respect...
Rose?
You know at your age, kid,
I was a man.
Don't you dare
talk to me that way...
in front of... Mikey!
So... Mikey,
you ain't got
no balls, 'eh, kid?
That's no problem. I'm gonna
show you how to grow some.
You have something to say, kid?
Let's hear it.
I'm right here!
Come on.
- Come on, boy.
- Come on, boy.
- I'm right here.
- I'm right here.
Hey, hey, wait a minute,
sweetheart, what's the hurry?
Come on, sit down with us
for a while, why don't you?
We don't bite, you'll see.
You know, it's really not
the night for this.
All right? -Well, then let's
make it the right night then.
Come on, honey.
Come on, sit over here.
You got something to say?
Let's hear it.
Let's hear it.
Come on, boy, I'm right here.
Hey, hey, Mike.
Hey, Mike. Mike! Look at me.
Now, you see them over there?
The cavalry's
finally arrived, Mike.
It's a mirage.
- I can't do this any more.
- No.
No, Mike.
Mike, that is no mirage.
They here, my friend.
There's no mirage!
Now, we need to tell them
that we're here,
otherwise they're
not gonna find us.
Alpha-Margot 4,
Alpha-Margot 4,
Echo Bravo 3 is in location.
Where are you, Sergeant Stevens?
Signal your position.
I'm here.
I'm here!
Alpha-Margot 4, we're leaving.
- I'm over here.
- We can't stay long.
We can't find you.
Where are you?
No, no.
No.
No, we're over here.
Over here.
Come on, Mike.
Mike, we are not
getting anywhere this way.
You need to focus.
That is one...
small step for mankind...
but one giant leap for a man.
- Can you hear me?
- You need to get a move-on.
- I'm over here.
- 'Cause you're getting married.
You remember that?
You remember?
No, you're dead.
Tommy's dead.
Do you thus pay homage
to our crown
and swear fealty on our realm?
Your Highness,
I hereby swear to be
a courageous knight...
reverent and courteous always,
a champion of truth and justice.
And I hereby swear
to be honest and good.
And I swear to protect our realm
and I swear this before you...
my princess.
Yes.
Yes, what?
Yes, you will be a courageous...
courageous knight.
Stay alive, Mike is Michael.
You have to let me go, Mike.
Don't be afraid
to stop suffering, sweetheart.
I'm not...
not any more.
You're a strong boy.
You're honest...
and you're good.
And I know that no one's
ever gonna stop you...
ever.
But you have to let me go.
You have to move on.
Come on, son!
I'm right here!
Can I get that beer now please?
Jenny?
That's why you're here, Mike.
That's why you're here.
You have to move on.
Seven percent.
Good.
