American Sniper Page #5

Be 300 or more yards out.

Oh, my God.

- You got a bead on him?

- I got Tango in the window.

Oh, sh*t.

I got eyes on The Butcher. He's got

the sheikh's kid on the avenue.

Requesting QRF.

We're being pinned down by sniper fire

on approach of high value target.

Grid 04536236. Over.

I'm gonna pop a smoke. I'm gonna secure

this building. I'm going to the roof.

HOld up!

Hold. Hold it.

Go!

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Come on, you f***ing son of a b*tch!

F*** you!

GRONSKY.

Jesus Christ, what a f***ing mess.

You are one dumb son of a b*tch,

you know that?

What the hell were you thinking?!

You completely failed

to secure the battlefield.

I'm shutting this whole thing down

pending an inquiry. Get back to base!

Hey, we gotta set up a squad

and pursue him.

Nope, they're shutting us down.

What do you mean?

Can't leave the wire till

they figure this sh*t out.

Well, he can't just leave us like that.

Hey!

I go home in three weeks!

Man, that's gonna be a long three weeks.

Hey.

Hey, baby.

I thought you were dead.

Yeah, I know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I thought you were dead.

I'm not. I'm right here.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

You're the most beautiful thing

I've ever seen.

I have an alien growing inside me.

And there's a strange man in my bedroom.

It's our bedroom.

Your hands feel different.

Oh, no. They're my hands.

- Why am I so f***ing nervous?

- Well, I am too.

- No, you're not.

- Yes, I am.

- You're lying.

- I swear.

How do I know some alien in there

is not gonna come out and grab me...

...in the middle of the night?

I'm gonna have to...

...choke him out.

It's gonna be okay.

- Promise?

- Yeah, of course.

Why're you so good with me?

Hey, babe.

It might be nice to get out.

You listening to me'?

- Chris.

- Huh?

What do you wanna do today, hon?

I thought we could just relax here.

Okay, we do that.

Let's relax.

What are you doing?

Putting my foot on you.

Well, you know that's the way to my heart.

I'm coming over.

And that looks great.

Oh, look.

Look. He's touching his nose.

- How are you feeling?

- I'm all right. I just want him out.

- I'm tired.

- It's gonna be any day now.

I hope so.

- How about you? How're you feeling?

- I'm feeling good. Thank you, ma'am.

I imagine it's hard to decompress.

Not really. No.

This is the first time we've left the house.

I'm happy to be home. Yeah.

Here. Slip this on for me, would you?

Uh, I think if you wanna check anything out,

you may wanna check out these knees.

Are you a smoker?

- No, ma'am.

- You drink?

- Only when I'm thirsty.

It's 170/110.

Jesus Christ, Chris.

Is that high?

Not if you've just had 14 cups of coffee.

But for someone who is sitting down, yes.

Oh, I appreciate you taking a look at that.

I'll look into it. Thank you.

Will you look into it?

Yeah.

You sabotaged me back there.

What am I supposed to do? You're not

talking. You act like it's all okay.

- It is okay. I'm fine.

- You're not fine, Chris, all right?

Your blood pressure is,

like, f***ing 170/110.

Babe, I'm driving down the freeway.

It's sunny. It's 72 degrees. I'm fine.

There's a war going on. There's people

dying. No one's even talking about that.

It's like it's not even happening.

We're all on our cell phones...

...living our simple, simplistic lives.

It's not even on the news.

No one cares. There's a war going on,

I'm headed to the mall.

I'm not supposed to be here.

It's happening-

- What's wrong? You okay?

- It's happening.

Sh*t. Okay. I'm gonna go back.

- You're f***ing crazy! You know that?

- It's okay. Hey! Shh. Baby, baby.

Oh, my God. Baby.

You look beautiful.

It's f***ing happening.

Oh, my baby.

Hey-

Look at your mama.

- Hi.

- Hey, pal.

- Hey.

- Hey, Dab)'-

Hey, little guy.

Hey, baby.

Hey, little guy.

Look what we did. Look what we did.

Look what we made. Look what we made.

The baby's crying.

I thought you were gonna get him.

No, don't bother turning it off.

I already watched it.

Had to make sure you didn't have an

Iraqi girlfriend sending you sexy videos.

That's a sniper recording his kills.

Mustafa.

He sells that sh*t on the street.

Those are American soldiers.

That day that we were on the phone,

was that him?

Was it?

Chris, just talk about it. You're not

protecting me by not talking about it.

No, I don't want you

getting that in your head.

- My imagination is so much worse.

- Oh, no, it's not. They're savages.

- Chris.

- Babe, they're f***ing savages.

It's not about them.

It's about us.

What?

You have to make it back to us.

Okay?

Welcome home, chief.

Colonel Jones is waiting.

How was the flight?

- Longer than Christmas.

- I bet.

Hey. Can you wait a second?

All right. Hurry up.

Hey, grunt!

Chris?

Hey, brother!

- Hi.

- Ha-ha-ha.

You all right? You in one piece?

I heard you been kicking ass out here. All

the guys, that's what they've been saying.

That's what they say?

How you doing? You okay?

- Shoot, it's good to see you.

- You're my hero, bro.

Okay? You always have been.

Let's go, Kyle! Colonel's waiting.

The Legend, huh?

What happened? You all right?

Man, I'm gonna miss my ride.

Hey, what happened?

I'm just tired, man.

I'm going home.

I'm proud of you.

Dad is too. Dad's proud of you.

- F*** this place.

- Huh?

What'd you say?

F*** this place.

Chief, we gotta move. Let's go!

JONES'.

You made chief. Congratulations.

Thank you, sir.

Gronski's gone. A lot of top brass are.

Running off a new play book now.

I've studied insurgencies

for the last decade.

I know every stone thrown

since before the first century.

These wars are won and lost

in the minds of our enemy.

Yes, sir.

That you?

That's a Crusader cross. Yes, sir.

Yeah.

You're now the most wanted man in Iraq.

There's 180,000 on your head.

Congrats.

Well, don't tell my wife.

She might take that number right now.

Understand you wanna put together a

direct action squad to hunt The Butcher.

Yes, sir.

We got some intel

indicating his area of operations.

I want you to put the fear of God

into these savages...

...and find his ass.

Yes, sir.

All right, let's go get this motherf***er.

- Gonna be a pop quiz before we leave.

- Small words next time, Big Legend.

- What'd you say?

- Small words next time

I'll tell you those stories if you want them.

One hell of a PowerPoint, man.

- Oh, thanks, Biggles.

Always gotta say something, motherf***er.

That Bible of yours, is that bulletproof?

What, the one I put in here?

Yeah. I just never saw you open it.

I assumed...

God, country, family, right?

You got a God?

I got a God? You getting weird on me?

Growing up in Oregon, we had this

electric fence around our property.

Us kids would grab onto it

and see who could hold on the longest.

War feels kind of like that.

Puts lightning in your bones and makes it

hard to hold onto anything else.

Hey, man, you need to sit this one out?

I just wanna believe

in what we're doing here.

Oh, there's evil here. We've seen it.
