13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi Page #8

---

It's better vantage.

Get those DS guys

off of there.

State!

I want you to go down and protect

Building C from the ground.

Guys, let's set sectors of fire

with overlapping coverage.

Tig, I can use you

over here on Tower 3.

Oz, what do you got?

I got a couple

of local shepherds walking.

Hey, State, we got this.

Lot of acreage out there.

- Get on your NODs.

- Copy that.

Hey, Chief. Are we expecting any

friendlies to set up a perimeter?

...Not that

I know of. Why?

'Cause we got cars

amassing, east side.

In the parking lot

out by that house

where the teenagers are that

throw the M-80s over the yard.

Then I guess it

could be poker night.

Just hold on.

Hey. I got two

cop cars pulling in.

Chief, are we expecting any of

Benghazi's finest anytime soon?

Let me

check on it. Hold on.

Yeah. Take your time.

Alan, check

the perimeter.

Call Benghazi police

and see if that's them.

Chief, these cops? I bet you

they work for the bad guys.

Does this look

like 17 Feb to you?

Dude, how can

you f***ing tell?

They're all bad guys

until they're not.

And there go

the cop cars.

I got movement.

You see this, guys?

Yeah, I see it.

Boon,

how many you see?

I got unknowns moving

to the parking lot.

Fifteen Tangos.

I gotta call you back.

Good vantage point

from here.

Oz?

All right.

I got five more guys

right behind them

little shepherds.

One of them's got something slung.

I can't see what it is.

Everyone's got

weapons in Benghazi.

Until you see a weapon

in someone's hands,

you do not fire.

I don't want anybody

going to prison.

Roger that.

Okay, they're breaking off.

It's game time.

Guys,

they are coming in.

Yeah, they're coming in now.

Come on.

Chief, if we're

expecting any friendlies,

I need to know

that information now.

I am not aware of any friendlies.

I have no confirmation.

AFRICOM, ISR is approaching

target coordinates

from deployed strobe tracker.

Await further instruction.

ISR, eyes-on report.

AFRICOM, unknowns are advancing

toward subject compound

moving from south/southeast

over open ground.

No tags or colors.

Asymmetrical movements.

No weapons observed.

Cyclops

pushing in at 140.

State, we're being surrounded

by Tangos right now.

Chief, this sh*t's

starting to get real.

Oz, we got seven

Tangos by the pillars.

Got 'em.

Let 'em come.

Let 'em come.

Let 'em come.

Chief, are we

cleared hot to shoot?

Chief, I repeat, are we

cleared hot to shoot?

See a weapon,

shooter's discretion.

Everybody hold. You do not f***ing

fire till I give the word.

I ain't shooting

no kids, Boon.

All right, guys, eyes open.

I'm gonna paint

these guys with the

infrared so we're

all on the same page.

Everybody got this guy?

- Roger.

- Yeah. I got him.

This guy?

- Got him.

- Got him.

This guy?

- Got him.

- Got him.

- How about that guy?

- Three.

I see him.

Look at these guys. It's like

kids playing hide and seek.

I got AKs.

You guys got

to draw them in.

Draw them in.

They cannot see you.

We have night vision,

they don't.

Turn the lights off now.

How much closer

do we let them get?

They got weapons.

Come on, Rone,

they're right here.

We got about

25-30 Tangos.

I'm taking

the right side.

Tig, you hit?

You all right?

Armor caught it.

That's a mistake.

Dude, we kicked

their asses!

I don't know if I'm

feeling lucky or unlucky.

They thought they were walking

into another temporary embassy.

Not here, brother.

Chief, get us some air support?

Get us f***ing something!

GRS, check in.

All good, Boon,

Tanto, Building B.

D was out of the fight.

Tower 3,

Tig and Oz, never better.

Let's get you up.

Stay down.

Bad guy's house

is still active, Ty.

We got eyes on.

Roger that.

They shot out

all the lights.

First wave

got the job done.

You want a coffee?

I sure as hell do.

I guess the drone saw

30 guys shooting at us.

Come on.

Secure

with tech two encryption.

Why is this shepherd walking

around after a gunfight?

So bizarre.

These sheep

freak me out.

Somebody could take

a potshot from in there.

I don't think

it's safe.

Let's get out of here.

Dave, you got to slow it down, buddy.

You're working too hard.

Look, this isn't

a choice for me.

We lost the Ambassador.

That's on our heads,

not yours.

And, look, I get it.

I know what you're thinking.

But if Scott had fired on

that mob from the safe haven,

it would've given

away his position.

And we wouldn't have had

a fighting chance in hell

to get him out.

So, I'm in this fight.

All night.

I know you are.

I get it, man.

Hey! Hey, what's going on?

Where are our rides?

Look, this is all screwed-up

Libyan bureaucracy. Okay.

Who drives, who goes first, and

of course who gets paid the most.

We don't have time for this! You

tell them to figure it out.

Keep a close

watch on them.

We don't know who's good

and who's bad.

Copy that.

We're wheels down,

but we got a problem.

What do you got?

Coffee.

- Amahl.

- Yes.

Tell him he should assemble his

men as quickly as possible

and that

we will pay him.

- Cash.

- Cash? Fine.

When? When can

they be here?

Where's the Chief?

Just bring... That he brings his

f***ing men as soon as possible

and get us the hell

out of here.

Looting the compound.

Blood in the water.

Sharks are circling.

The Tripoli team is

stuck at the airport.

They need an escort.

They don't know the city.

No love from

the Libyan government?

They've gone

home for the night.

Or just not answering.

What about ours?

They picking up

the phone?

I'm working on it.

That drone feed's up.

They're seeing everything

we see and more.

We've identified the forces

that can move to Benghazi.

They're spinning

up as we speak.

State has been asked

to secure the approval

from the host nation.

General, this could

be a hostile airport,

so we are considering

every option.

Understood. It's a

fluid situation.

But there are a lot of

Americans stuck there.

I say we get them airborne,

then we can make our decision.

Hey, Glen, we've been

waiting for three hours.

Can we just commandeer

these vehicles and go?

Getting in isn't the problem.

Getting out again is.

Hey!

Can you explain

to them

that if this bullshit ends

up costing American lives,

I'm gonna come back here and

cut all their throats myself,

starting with him.

You tell him that.

What a shitshow.

State got a report from the

Benghazi Medical Center

that said a crowd of Libyans

brought in an American male

alive.

They used Scott

Wickland's phone,

said it came

from Chris' pocket.

Could try

and draw us in.

Watch out

for an ambush.

What do you see?

I'm not sure

what it is.

Either the bad guys are

crawling under the sheep

or the sheep

are humping.

2:
30 at night?

I don't know

anything about sheep.

Watch your step.

Oz.

Stay low.

Stay low.

I brought you candy bars

and some drinks.

Your head.

It's nothing.

You need anything else?

Well,

a lawn chair

wouldn't be bad.
