A Good Man

There is no darkness without light,

and yet there is light

without darkness.

I have both within me.

Flyby:
Flyby to Ghost

you're about 20 miles

out from target.

There are no bogies

visible from above.

Ghost:
Roger that, Flyby.

So tell me, is there any good

restaurants around here?

Nobody told me Movie

Star can't cook.

Flyby:
Yeah, that's a negative on

the restaurants, Ghost.

Ghost, this is Director Styles.

Reaper-1 is now online.

We're maintaining a safe and

invisible distance to target.

We're getting a good image of

what's going on down there.

Ready to bring Hellfire

down on your command.

Look, I'm sorry about

cutting your team.

This is a mission we

need to keep quiet.

You're operating as

a two-man team now.

Target name:
Abu Alwaki Khan.

The ground-branch comedians

called him Abu Normal.

Your primary target

remains Abdul Normal.

We have new information

on the secondary target,

An arms dealer.

Hey, Ghost.

We gotta go.

Our secondary target is

a Chicom arms dealer,

an Islamic fundamentalist who

finances terrorist activities.

We go by call signs.

We never know a team

member's real name.

Flyby:
You're now five miles out, Ghost.

Switching to radio silence.

Over and out.

I don't feel good about

them splintering our team.

We a 12-man team, minimum of six.

We down to f***ing two

'cause they had to go kill

some f***ing high-value

target up in the north

50 minutes from here.

What the f*** is that?

Well, it's a small camp.

VICD confirmed target's

there, that right?

UAV followed him in there

about 45 minutes ago.

He's got a protection

detail of three shooters.

We've had eyes on that

target ever since,

and there's been nobody

in and nobody out.

Since when a guy like that

got three security detail?

He got 15 motherfuckers in there

with guns and you know it.

This intel is f***ed up.

Well, we don't know

how many shooters

he could have already

in that building.

Look, before we stick

our dick in anything,

we're gonna sneak up and take

a good look before we commit.

Here's to dead enemies

and live friends

and all y'all

motherfuckers going home.

Roger that.

Let me tack up.

How it look out there?

Looks good.

Good conditions, bro.

- Nice and quiet?

- Yeah, I like it.

I wonder how much p*ssy he get.

Do you think he get

more than, like uhh...

Osama bin Laden got?

I'm... I'm gonna be

sorry to kill his ass.

A lot of virgins are

gonna be happy though.

- That's true, once he go up there.

- Yeah.

Okay. Take a look at this here.

That's our route in.

Let's get positioned in this building

here, but we gotta clear this first

before we get into the

hornets' nest over here.

Try to figure out...

we make a decision in here.

Oh, f*** me, man.

What you got?

Ghost to nest, ghost to nest,

you're getting too

close, man, back off.

You're gonna give my position away.

Nest:
Roger that, Ghost.

Once Abu Normal is

confirmed to be in there,

you can take him out,

but wait for my word.

Nest:
Standing by. Over and out.

We got the chickenshit

sandwich now, boy.

Well, let's go get this bastard.

Come on.

Clear.

Whoa. Thank you, bro.

Looks good. Compound clear.

Okay, Ghost, got

eyes on, settled in.

You're good to go.

Oh. Check that. We got a rover.

Be advised:
one rover.

Okay, that rover... he is up.

He's on top.

Looks like he's walking

off into the woods, bro.

You're clear. Go

ahead, make your move.

Looking good. Six is clear.

Movie Star, can you see

anything inside the hooch?

Negative. Hang on.

I see four.

Four Haj... check that,

check that, six...

six Hajjis, all got AKs.

Nest:
Ghost, a man in a white coat...

could be our second target.

Okay, confirmation

on target, stand by.

Ghost to nest, visual

confirmation on the target.

They're using human

shields. No joy, no joy.

This is Nest. We have a

lock on your position.

We have orders to initiate

Hellfire now. Stand down.

I repeat, they're

using human shields.

No joy, no joy!

Okay, be advised, our

rover is returning.

Nest:
He's 30 yards out.

You're gonna have to

take this guy out.

I can't crack him there.

He'll create a hornets' nest.

You've got him. He's 10 yards out.

10 yards. He's on your six.

Five, four,

three, two...

two steps. He's there.

I'm going in now,

repeat, going in now.

On my way to you.

I'm on my way to you.

Move.

Call off the strike. Abu Normal's

on the move. Call off the strike.

- We've got women and children in here.

- Papa! Papi!

Nest:
Target locked, sequence initiated.

Direct hit on Abu Normal.

No joy on the secondary target.

Call off the air-strike!

We've got kids in here!

Nest:
Negative, Ghost.

Hellfire is initiated.

Come with me! We gotta

get out of here!

Flyby, this is command.

We have a direct hit.

Ghost! Ghost, how you doing?

It's my right... right side.

Check the girl.

- Nothing's broke.

- Check the girl.

Hey. You okay?

She's not moving.

Some things never change.

Mya, do you have the keys?

You hungry? Come here.

Don't tell me I lost them again.

- Hey.

- What's happening? Are you locked out?

- You want some help?

- This would be great.

The second time I've lost my keys.

I think I can fix that.

- My name's Lena...

- Nice to meet you.

and she's my sister, Mya.

- What's happening?

- What's his name?

You know, I just never named him.

You can name him.

Roman.

- Roman.

- Roman?

Roman it is.

Come on, doggy.

Pretty.

Good boy.

- Okay, there you go.

- Thank you. Wow.

That was easy.

- Thanks.

- Alexander.

Thanks, Alexander.

Mya.

Go inside and say goodbye.

- Bye.

- Bye, Roman.

Go, go, go, go.

I'll come by later and

drop off a new lock.

Any time.

Nice to finally meet you, neighbor.

Nice to meet you.

Come here, boy.

Where do you think you're going?!

Catch him!

Pick him up.

Let's go.

Trans:
I have already paid!

I swear it.

Hey, Amerikano.

He says he already paid.

When you speak to me

you speak in English.

You know that.

This is not fair.

I work hard for this money.

I understand. We work hard...

to provide you protection.

But it comes at a price.

I think I need protection

from Mr. Vladimir.

Hey!

You don't pay up next week,

I'm taking your f***ing tongue.

Don't!

Okay okay. Okay.

Just give me a second.

How much are you short?

Watch the door.

Don't mistake this act of kindness

as weakness.

Are we clear?

- Are we clear?

- Yeah.

He's square. I'm gonna grab a bite.

Da?

Da. Wait.

Vladimir says there's a problem.

He wants you to check it out.

Trans:
Same as others?

Da, sliced and diced.

Identical MO.

Gangs killing rival gangs I guess?

But why leave incense?

It's Chinese.

They believe incense to be associated

with the "yin" energies of the dead.

Burning joss sticks

attracts ghosts,

who consume the smoke and destroy

the fortunes of the family.

It's symbolic.

Googled it.

These guys... look very Russian.

Yeah. The cross

signifies prison time

and the ring finger indicates rank.

This arm belongs to a lieutenant.
