Lone Survivor (2013)
SEAL INSTRUCTOR 1:
Six times three. (GROANING) SEAL INSTRUCTOR 1: Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. (SHIVERING) Hurry up. It's eighteen. SEAL INSTRUCTOR 1: Ooh! SEAL INSTRUCTOR 2: Ring the bell three times, put your helmet on the ground. You're done. (YELLING) SEAL INSTRUCTOR 2: Commence! You don't make it, you do it again! SEAL INSTRUCTOR 1: You ever been tested this hard ever in your life? Never. SEAL INSTRUCTOR 1: Winning here is a conscious decision. Make up your mind if you want to pass or choose to fail. All right now, gentlemen, I'm gonna introduce y'all to something called "not being able to breathe." TRAINER: Andrew! Come back. Come back to the light. SEAL INSTRUCTOR 1: All this shaking and all this cold. Harness it. Turn it into aggression. You just proved to your bodies, through your mind, that you can push yourself further than you thought possible. Go get wet! Run! SEAL TRAINEE: I'm at my limit, so... that's it. SEAL INSTRUCTOR: You sure you want to be here? MAN: Yes, l do. Are you absolutely sure? I'm positive! (BELL RINGS) SEAL INSTRUCTOR 2: Whatever you have to do! SEAL INSTRUCTOR 1: Just find an excuse to win. Keep going. SEAL 1: It pays to be a winner! SEAL 2: l like having my buddies that l can depend on. And l would like for them to be able to depend on me. SEAL 3: These guys are our band of brothers. (BELL RINGS) ALL: (SINGING) Silent night Holy night All is calm All is bright (CHOPPER BLADES WHIRRING) LUTTRELL: There's a storm inside of us. I've heard many team guys speak of this. A burning. A river. A drive. An unrelenting desire to push yourself harder and further than anyone could think possible. Pushing ourselves into those cold, dark corners. Where the bad things live. Where the bad things fight. We wanted that Fight at the highest volume. (DEFIBRILLATOR POWERING UP) (BEEPING) (SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY) LUTTRELL: Loud fight. (DEFIBRILLATOR POWERING UP) The loudest, coldest, darkest, most unpleasant of the unpleasant fights. (RAPID BEEPING) (GROANING SOFTLY) (CLEARS THROAT) (MOUSE CLICKING) (CHOPPER WHIRRING DISTANTLY) (SIGHS) ls this doable? It's expensive. How much? LUTTRELL: It's an Arabian horse, man. She got good taste. I know. How much? I'll find out. Expensive. You're fucked, man. (SIGHS) I know. I'm up. Going down. (COMPUTER BEEPING) (KEYS CLACKING) (BEEPS) (YELLING TRIUMPHANTLY) Murphy by 1.1. More than that. More than that, Marcus. Fucking dude, I was being generous. Trust me. Who won? Murph. Murph, barely. By one second. (SCOFFS) Barely. Barely. LUTTRELL: Head shave? Head shave or what? I don't know, you know? It's something to think about. If I shave his head, I have to focus on his face. Face, ears. Oddly-shaped head. Well, I don't wanna be looking at him that close, either, but he has been running his mouth about beating you. Really? Fuck, a head shave is fair. Axe? Better shave him. Make him go eat with the E-3s, work in the chow hall until it grows back. LUTTRELL: Frankie, what do you think? Why the fuck would not we shave him? That's valid. Patton, not that we care, but what do you think? Let me see you make a tactical decision right now. Well, (CLEARS THROAT) I could go both ways on this. He did lose, but he was close. And you're Mike Murphy. You are Mike Murphy. The Mike Murphy. I would've expected a bigger separation. That is a good point. Backhanded compliment. Patton. Grab my razor. PATTON: Razor, copy that. (DOOR OPENING) KRISTENSEN: Listen up. Red Wings' a go. Tonight, 1800. (ALL MURMURING INDISTINCTLY) Beautiful. Am I going? PLO in an hour. (DOOR CLOSES) Maybe I'll go. It's a maybe. I'll give you a maybe. Stay optimistic. Boys. FRANKIE: Hey, what's up? What the fuck am I doing wrong? Oh, come on. I'll tell you what, Shane, here's your first op. You ready? Clean all this up. (SOLDIERS YELLING) (PEOPLE CLAMORING) The objective of this mission is to capture and kill Ahmad Shah. Bad guy. Senior Taliban commander responsible for killing Marines in eastern Afghanistan. A Tier 1 target. If you want a positive I.D., note that Shah has no earlobes. (ALL CLAMORING) MURPHY: Taraq. (SPEAKINC LOCAL DIALECT) His right-hand man. Seems to do most of his chief shit for him. (BOTH SPEAKING LOCAL DIALECT) We're going in with a four-man recon team. Axelson, you'll be point. Myself, I'll be second. Dietz, comms. Marcus, rear, med. Axe, give us our route. AXELSON: We're gonna be moving up the back side of this mountain here, which is gonna offer great concealment from the village. I'm estimating that it's gonna take us between three and four hours, depending upon the gradient of the terrain which is that crappy shale. So please lace up. (YELLING) First things first. You're gonna win the fight. No medicine in a gun fight. Two weeks ago, Team 8 was near where we're gonna be. Capelli got bit by a rattlesnake. Contrary to popular belief, there is poison oak, so watch your cock and balls, 'cause that will suck. (CLAMORING) Murph's got the satphone. The angle of this region is very steep. Expect typical comms problems. We're gonna be on two-hour comms windows. If we miss two windows, I'd say wake somebody up. If not, don't sweat it. Waypoint one is Budweiser. Waypoint two is Miller. Three is Corona. Four is Heineken. And for our O.P. 1, Schlitz Malt liquor. And if and when we I.D. Shah, pass Rick James. (ALL YELLING) (SPEAKING LOCAL DIALECT) Gentlemen, these are your Rules of Engagement. US forces will comply with the law of Armed Conflict at all times. Use of deadly force is authorized. (YELLING) Allahu Akbar! If you do come under attack, use the appropriate force necessary to deter or defeat that threat. (GRUNTING) KRISTENSEN: Leaving here at 1800. Two Chinooks and two Apaches. We fly here to the L.Z., insert the four-man team right here. Then we fly 30 minutes to J-Bad. Here, we'll have 15 team guys and about a dozen Marines standing by all night. When we hear "Schlitz Malt liquor", we're heading back to Bigram for phase two. The QRF will stay here at J-Bad. Now the Apaches stay with the Black Hawks. The movement is so we can get the 47's back here ready to bring up to phrase two, once you get eyes on Shah. Oh, I bringing up tomorrow night's new guy presentation to 1400 today, so that all may revel and partake. (ALL CHEERING) LUTTRELL: You better be good, Napoleon. Fuck. A lot of moving parts. We were going to wait and then she gets her head into it and when she gets her head into something, that's it. There's no stopping her, man. She's going all out. MURPHY: You know, you should Just let her do it. You got a handyman woman. That's a good thing. He's afraid of losing control over his castle. He's having control issues 'cause he's the one who's always made the taste decisions in the family, right? No, she's got great taste. I... I trust her. LUTTRELL: Well, what does she like? (SIGHS) DIETZ: Rose Honeydew. (CLEARS THROAT) Oh. MURPHY: ls that a color? Mmm-mmm. You better control that situation. It's very ongoing. New grass leads to new bushes by the windows, leads to new curtains, leads to new sofa, leads to new carpet, leads to new floor. New baby. LUTTRELL: Dude, she's pregnant? How far along is she? You know if it's a boy or a girl? No, she's not pregnant. She's just on a weird journey, moving through the house, one room to the next. LUTTRELL: Sounds expensive. Sounds pregnant. (ALL LAUGHING) Congratulations. (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) MAN: You're fuckin' late. Sir, I'm good to go. No. You should introduce yourself and tell us something about you we don't know. All right. Petty Officer... Oh, shut up! (ALL JEERING) Get out! Shut the fuck up! Hey. Settle down. Give the kid a chance. Remember what it was like for you. Petty Officer... (ALL JEERING) DIETZ: Who gives a shit! LUTTRELL: Shut the fuck up! Mr. Patton, please. (DANCE MUSIC PLAYING) (ALL CHEERING) There we go. More neck. Come on, dude, you got to get into it. lose yourself. MAN: Yeah! Whoa! Whoo! (MUSIC STOPS) Really, really bad. Dude, that was traumatizing. Can we vote to push him through? Because I can't see that ever again. Hands up. Push him through! (ALL AGREEING) I don't know. Can he say it? Can you say it? MAN: Prove it! (QUIETLY) I don't want to watch you dance again. I really don't. Can you say it, Mr. Patton? I can say it, I can say it. (CLEARS THROAT) Uh... MAN: Don't fuck it up. Come on. No more fucking around. Come on. (PATTON CLEARS THROAT) Been around the world twice. Talked to everyone once. Seen two whales fuck. Been to three world fairs. I even know a man in Thailand with a wooden cock. I push more peter more sweeter and more completer than any other peter pusher around. I'm a hard-bodied, hairy-chested, rootin'-tootin' shootin', parac' hutin' demolition double-cap crimpin' frogman. There ain't nothing I can't do. No sky too high, no sea too rough, no muff too tough. Learned a lot of lessons in my life. Never shoot a large-caliber man with a small-caliber bullet. Drive all kinds of trucks. Two-bys, four-bys, six-bys. And those big Motherfuckers that bend and go, "sshh-sshh" when you step on the brakes. Anything in life worth doing is worth overdoing. Moderation is for cowards. I'm a lover, I'm a fighter, I'm a UDT Navy SEAL diver. I'll wine, dine, intertwine, and sneak out the back door when the refueling is done. So if you're feeling foggy, then you better jump, because this frogman's been there, done that and is going back for more. Cheers, boys. (INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) She does not need an Arabian horse! How the fuck do you know about that? I know everything, Murphy. KRISTENSEN: More a Tennessee Walker cross stallion. The original Silver. The Lone Ranger's horse. No shit. KRISTENSEN: Glorious horse, Murphy. Glorious! CHINOOK PILOT: Razor 11, 64 is two mikes out. Establish overwatch at 1000 AGI. CHINOOK PILOT: All right, Commander, approaching the L.Z.

MURPHY: Axe, you're on surveillance. Dietz, fall back to O.P. 2 and get me some fucking comms.

If we're home by the 15th, me and Morgan are gonna cut down all the trees around the stable. How is that gonna help me? Hello? Brahms horse auction is, I think, the 27th. That means if I cut down the trees behind the stable, I get a discount for your horse. Do they sell Arabic horses? First of all, it's not an Arabic horse, okay? It's an Arabian horse. Arabic.

Talk to the mountain, sir. Eyes down. Eyes down. Motherfuck. (WHISPERING) You know, it's feeling like a cursed op. It's not a cursed op. There's no curses. It's just Afghanistan. That's all. (LINE RINGING) (PHONE RINGING) J-Bad TOC, Sergeant Hasslert speaking. Sergeant, this is Spartan O-1. Do you hear me? Hello. Sergeant, this is Spartan O-1. Yes, yes, I can hear you, sir. I am calling on an unsecure line. I need to speak to the C.O. immediately. The C.O.? That's correct. Which C.O., sir? Commander Kristensen. Commander Kristensen isn't here, sir. Ah, he's at Bagram.

It's dead. What did he say? Uh, just that he needed to talk to you. Why is Murphy calling on a satphone? No idea. Are we having comms problems with Spartan O-1? We were good for a while, but we've missed two windows now, sir. Two. Try him back! For fuck's sake. (BLEATING) Fuck! Worst fucking comms. Well, we could light the goats on fire, smoke signal our way out of here. Yeah, I could walk down to the village, ask to borrow a phone. You'd get some interesting tile ideas down there, bro. Afghan Dirt Brown, (CHUCKLES) Goat Skin Blond. Shit, she'll dig that a hell of a lot more than, what is it, fucking Honey Cream? (ALL CLAMORING) (SPEAKING LOCAL DIALECT) Sit down. Sit down! (GRUNTS) Way I see it, we got three options. (SPITS) One, we let them go, hike up. We'll probably be found in less than an hour. Two, we tie them up, hike out, roll the dice. They'll probably be eaten by fucking wolves, or freeze to death. Three? We terminate the compromise. (SPEAKING LOCAL DIALECT) Shah's down there. We let them go, we're letting him go. Mission fails. No, Mikey. I don't like it. I don't fucking like it at all. What are we gonna do? We gonna kill them? Huh? Okay, we kill them, right? What, then what? Fucking bury 'em? They get found, then what? Then what? What do you mean, then what? (SIGHS) And then what? You know then what. What do you think? This shit's gonna be private? Huh? It's gonna be out there for the whole fucking world. CNN, okay? "SEALs kill kids." That's the fucking story forever. It's nobody's fucking business what we do up here. We do what we do. What we have to do. This is the fucking Navy and you're the fucking boss, so you make the fucking call, sir. Shah killed 20 Marines last week. Twenty. We let him go, 20 more will die next week. Forty more the week after that. Our job is to stop Shah. Why do these men have the right to dictate how we do our job? Rules of Engagement says we cannot touch them. I understand. And I don't care. I care about you. I care about you. I care about you. I care about you. I don't want your mom seeing your head, your decapitated head on AI Jazeera. That is Shah. I don't see it that way. Where do you think he's running to? 200 friends down there. Got guys in Leavenworth doing 20 for taking home trophy guns. What do you think they're gonna do for two fucking kids and an old fucking man? Fucking look at them, man. They fucking hate us. Look, at him. That's not a kid, that's a soldier. That's death. Look at death. LUTTRELL: We can't do it. AXELSON: Look at that soldier. They are unarmed prisoners. And the second they run down there, we got 200 hajis on our backs. Tie 'em up. Tie 'em up. Let's get the fuck out of here. We can't just fucking leave 'em, let 'em go! I thought you were standing by waiting for your fucking orders? I am standing by waiting for my fucking orders. What do you think that radio's for? They're not calling Domino's Pizza. I know what the fucking radio's for. That radio's fucking Tali. It's a cell phone to the Taliban. So you just think it'll just be our little secret? Huh? That's a warrior. Schwack them. We cannot do that. This is a soft compromise. You want to go to Leavenworth? You don't know how many hajis they have down there, man. Don't let him influence you. Marcus, I'm iust saying, you can't just say... look at that child. Make up your fucking mind and don't let him influence you. Schwack them. DIETZ: Mikey, it's your fucking call. I ain't fucking voting. This is not a vote. This is what we're gonna do. This op is compromised. So we're going to pack up everything. We're gonna cut them loose and we're gonna make this peak. When we make this peak, you're gonna get comms up. When we get these comms up, we're gonna call for extract and we're going home. Roger that, sir. DIETZ: Roger that. Roger. Spartan O-1. Spartan O-1, do you copy? Fisher? Coffee.

There ain't enough Apaches. That's fucked up. They'll be back. (GOATS BLEATING) Hey. Hey. You just won the lottery. (SPEAKING LOCAL DIALECT) Any station, listen up. Please relay to Spartan O-1. Spartan to base, do you copy? Spartan O-1, Spartan O-1 to base, do you copy? (GROANING) Fuck. Oh, fuck! (PANTING) False summit. Fuck! LUTTRELL: Yeah. MURPHY: Danny, get me some comms. Come on. Spartan Base, this is Spartan O-1. Over. What do you want to do? Go home. Get in bed, watch Anchorman. Yeah, roger that. What do you think? I think we did the right thing. I think we let our love light shine. Fuck me! I mean, isn't that how things work? Good things happen to good people? This is a bad spot. Danny, I got nothing here on sat. Give me something. I don't have fucking shit. How do you feel? This is a bad spot. You okay? All set. Good. Let's fall back to that tree line. Wait till sundown. If we can't make comms, we're walking home anyways, gents. Let's get some rest. Pack up, let's move. (WHISPERING) Fuck. COMMS MAN: Spartan O-1, Spartan to base, do you copy? Spartan O-1, radio check, do you copy? Sir, they've now missed three windows. Okay. (SIGHS) MARINE: Commander Shriver, there's a call for you on line 17. Roger. Commander Shriver. Uh, sir, this is Erik. For your S.A., we have missed three comm windows with Spartan O-1. Last known comms were at 0700. Why am I hearing this from you right now? Sir, we expected to have some comms problems. Murphy and I discussed and agreed that we would not start a spin until after he missed two windows. Is there a fucking problem here, Erik? Sir, I've told you everything I have at this point. I will call you when I have more information. This is Commander Kristensen out. Fuck. (MEN YELLING IN DISTANCE) (WHISPERING) I'm going to do some recon. Be back in two minutes. You want some company? Negative. I'm going to do about two minutes of recon. Be right back. (TWIGS CRACKING) (WHISPERING) We're about to get contacted. How fucking fast are these guys? Fast. What are you thinking? I'm thinking we're about getting fixing to get into a pretty good gun fight. Copy that. Looks like I voted wrong. Negative. We just got the opportunity to make hell fucking strong contact with our friend from the other side. Job well done. Hoo-yah to that, sir. Danny, get ready to fight. Hey, Mikey... I'm about ready to punch that timecard. (WHISPERING) Do it. (CLICKS) (GUN FIRING) (DISTANT SHOUTING) (GUNS FIRING) Push left! Marcus, move!
