Omair Idrisi isn't gonna be

I'm assembling a team

My name

Get Wyatt out.
Wyatt, McAllister?
Get in.
ADEENA DONOVAN: Omair Idrisi
and his wife Jane Lowry.
Intel suggests Idrisi
is purchasing weapons
for a major attack.
Prince Khalid Al-Hebtani.
He is funding the terrorists.
Go go! Go, move!
Idrisi Omair got away
but we've got the prince.
Mr. Ives.
MR. IVES: Do you have the money?

- I don't hate the West.
I pity it.
It's sick and diseased.
But it insists on spreading
its disease to other lands,
other people.
We will wipe
this sickness out.
- Sorry, ma'am,
we've got a fix on the target.
It's urgent.
- Morgan Ives. Arms dealer.
According to Prince Khalid,
he's the one
selling the arms to Idrisi.
Five minutes ago,
we intercepted
a distress signal.
Ives' helicopter has been
downed just outside Ajir.
A signal suggests
there are survivors,
although we don't know
who or how many.
- Okay, that's that.
How close can we get then?
- Captain, this is Ajir,
as in total warzone,
insurgent stronghold,
"one of the most
dangerous places on Earth,"
direct quote, "New York Post."
- "Times."
- It was the "Times,"
not the "Post."
- The point is,
someone said it.
- Sounded a little bit
scared there.
- Hey, I'm just
being realistic, okay?
You don't get into a bathtub
with a 400-pound gorilla
and expect to
come out laughing.
- We get Morgan Ives out alive,
we find out
what he was selling Idrisi,
then we find out a location.
- Yeah, good luck with that,
'cause if he's
gone down in Ajir,
and somehow he's even survived,
he now has a life expectancy
of about not-very-fucking-long,
McAllister.
- Okay,
so what you're saying is,
let's get a move on.
- I'd very much like to hear
what Mr. Ives
has to say for himself.
A coalition pilot
will drop you nearby.
Go in, extract him,
and do it fast.
- Come on!
Come on.
Come on.
David, I'm going to need you
to find a payphone.
- Don't worry, I'm kidding.
We're probably gonna die here.

we've cleared all the rocks."
You've gotta get out
of the tunnel really quickly
though, because we've rigged
the entire mountain
to blow up, so there's about
15 flamethrowers,
but don't worry, they won't
set that off until you're out
of the tunnel."
It was one of those things that
you couldn't really rehearse,
so we didn't even know
what was gonna happen.
Warren and I just look
at each other and say,
"A
Yeah, cool." Let's do it.
DANIEL MACPHERSON:
And you watch it back,
and the entire mountain
is blowing up behind us.
Everyone's miles away,
and we're right underneath it.
MACPHERSON:
We got face full of dirt,
and the rifle's gone
in the dirt,
cuts everywhere.
It was a lot of high-fives
after that one.
The car escape scene
was fantastic,
I really, really enjoyed
shooting that, because...
I physically had to lift Alin
out of that car,
Alin... really did
play the part
of somebody who is unconscious
really well.
You know what the challenge was?
Being dead weight, next
to an explosive,
or a potentially
explosive vehicle,
when all your instincts
is, "Run, get the fuck
out of there."
And you're just...
And then the big explosion.
I'm feeling the heat
down my back.
Thank goodness
for our great SFX guys,
because, otherwise,
I might not have any hair.
