Act of Valor Page #2
but, uh...
it's like Chief and I said
right at the beginning of this platoon:
Once we step off on campaign, once this
bird's ready and we're downrange,
everything back home
needs to be in balance.
We're not gonna be worth a damn
to each other or ourselves
if we get over there
and something's out of whack.
I mean, if things
aren't right with the family,
things aren't right with the finances
or something's off,
it's gonna put us all outta balance,
so we need to have that tight
before we launch.
If somebody's got an issue,
bring it up.
Chief can take care of it, I can take care
of it. Everybody's got each other's back.
Let's make sure we lock that down
so when we're ready to roll,
all our focus is on the mission.
For all those
who have been downrange,
to us and those like us,
damn few.
- Cheers.
- Hear, hear.
I still like the name James.
if it's a boy.
Come here.
- I'm proud of you.
- Thanks, baby.
Hey, little one, you make sure
you keep Mama away from Aunt Carol.
I don't like that
chain-smoking at all.
I got it, Lieutenant.
- OK.
- It's gonna be OK.
- All right.
- It's gonna be fine.
Try to keep this as long
as you can for a while, yeah?
Anything else, Commander?
Yeah. I'd like to be able to look into
your eyes when our first child is born.
You know I'll do my best.
I love you, baby.
Love you.
War is a country of will.
There's no room for sympathy.
If you're not willing to give up
everything, you've already lost.
Tell me, what is it
about you Americans that makes...
you feel entitled to f***
with the way I make my living?
I know who you are, Miss Morales,
and I know who you work for.
So why don't you
save us both some time
and tell me exactly
what you think you know?
How did that feel,
Miss Morales?
Have a great day at the spa.
Si, jefe.
- Hey, fellas, what's up?
- Hey.
It's hotter than two rats screwing
in a wool sock out there, yeah?
Africa-hot...
Tarzan couldn't take this heat.
Anyway, here's the deal.
Time to get your frogman on.
Lights. Three days ago,
and a Miss Lisa Morales,
were ambushed inside their
hotel room here in Costa Rica
by a unknown amount
of heavily armed a**holes.
Unfortunately, Mr. Ross was murdered,
and Miss Morales has been abducted.
We believe that this has been the work
of a guy named Mikhail Troykavitch,
aka Christo.
LT's going to give you
the skinny on him.
Thanks, Senior.
Mikhail Troykavitch, aka Christo.
This guy is believed to have been
working cocaine-for-weapons deals
between the Russian mafia, the FARC
guerrillas, and the Mexican drug cartels
ever since the late 1990s.
Now, before she was captured,
Morales was working a possible link...
between our boy Christo
and this guy Abu Shabal.
Glory to Allah,
Lord of the worlds,
who has created us as Muslims
and delivered us with the jihad
on his direct path.
Peace be upon those who follow his
direct path till the Day of Judgment.
Let me explain this to you Americans.
We are not separatists.
We Chechens are not
a legal part of anyone,
but you Americans are willingly
or unwillingly assisting
in the genocide of our people
by demanding that we obey certain rules,
and by your continued
occupation of all Muslim countries.
With the grace of Allah,
glorious and exalted is he,
America will never be safe
until safety becomes a reality for us.
Allahu Akbar.
Abu Shabal
is a Chechen terrorist...
who's associated with
the Beslan School Massacre.
He's been jumping between training camps
in Indonesia and the Philippines.
Now, the connection
between Christo and Abu Shabal...
but if this was the lead
it could be why
she was abducted. Senior?
All right, this is a personnel
recovery of Miss Morales.
All right, who's got questions?
Senior Chief, you got
any updated source intel
on numbers inside the camp,
and what about roving patrols?
Maybe eight to ten, bro, but we don't
know anything about roving patrols.
You're just gonna have to assume
that they're out there...
walking around, squared away.
They do this for a living, too.
Senior, what kinda weapons-on-target
are we looking at?
Heavy weapons.
These guys are narco-traffickers,
so they can have anything
from Soviet-bloc DShKs.
They could have M2HP,
.50-cals out there, we don't know.
So if there is a weapons' emplacement up
there, I suggest you guys bring rockets.
Of course,
rockets and foliage don't match,
so make sure you got a clear shot.
All right, what else?
Any idea
whether she's ambulatory or not?
There was a ton of blood on the scene,
and a lot of it was Mr. Ross',
we confirmed that.
Miss Morales may have bled there, too,
but these guys are savages,
so you're gonna have to assume
that she is non-ambulatory,
so you're gonna have
to bring stuff to carry her out.
Two minutes to drop.
Hey, LT.
You got to let us know who that guy is,
so when we get back, we can kick his ass.
What guy?
The guy that gave you
that f***ed-up haircut.
- F***.
- Damn, Sonny,
you should be the last guy to talk.
You look like the Dominican Mr. Clean.
That means my head
shines like your gold teeth, huh?
Don't be like that,
- that's harsh.
- Ramp!
Mask up.
Man, I tell you what.
The only thing better
than this right here is being a dad,
except for that whole
changing diaper thing, but...
Sandy does that for me anyway, so...
I'm actually looking forward to it.
Blackbeard, green light in ten.
Five.
Blackbeard Main, Blackbeard Main,

Radio check. Over.
Blackbeard Main, Blackbeard Main,

- We have you Lima Charlie.
- Roger, Main.
All boots are on the ground.
I pass T-bird.
Any traffic for my station
at this time?
Actual, imagery
picked up an increase in traffic...
at secondary location,
known to be enemy QRF,
eight clicks from primary target.
at 0600 for your extract.
- How copy?
- Roger, Main.
- You ready?
- Roger that, sir.
We got about 4.7 clicks
at three-five-five.
Take it out.
Whiplash, one minute out.
Thirty seconds.
Ten by ten.
Whiplash, go.
All boots on deck.
Line secure.

What is your ETA to my pos?
ETA 20 mikes.
Be advised, Raven is in flight
and pushing to your location.
No!
No!
Hey, sir, we gotta go.
Roger. Take it out.
I feel like we're pretty thin.
I'd like to take you guys with us.
Chief, I got a SBT coming up on-step.
Weimy and I are
in good overwatch position,
and I got to keep reporting
back to Blackbeard Main.
- We're staying here.
- Roger that.
- Keep it tight.
- Got it.
Whiplash, this is Blackbeard.
