American Sniper Page #6

Synopsis: Chris Kyle was nothing more than a Texan man who dreamed of becoming a cowboy, but in his thirties he found out that maybe his life needed something different, something where he could express his real talent, something that could help America in its fight against terrorism. So he joined the SEALs in order to become a sniper. After marrying, Kyle and the other members of the team are called for their first tour of Iraq. Kyle's struggle isn't with his missions, but about his relationship with the reality of the war and, once returned at home, how he manages to handle it with his urban life, his wife and kids.

Yeah. There's evil everywhere.

Oh, you want these motherfuckers

to come to San Diego or New York?

We're protecting more than just this dirt.

All right.

Let's go kill this f***er.

Bingo.

It's the building right here.

Any apartment on the east side

faces the restaurant.

In front of me, sir. Go, go, go.

Clear.

Other door.

Get down on the ground.

Get down on the ground now.

- Put your hands behind your back.

- Okay.

Target secure.

I got the window, Chris.

- Set security, boys.

Get set up.

Corner.

Let's move them in the other room.

Y'all ask if he knows him?

You recognize this guy?

He says he does not.

How about you, son?

You recognize this face?

You sure?

All right, well, you make sure you tell them

they're not gonna go anywhere until we do.

Hey, you keep eyes on that window.

Make sure you take pictures

of anybody coming and going.

What do we got?

Sixteen military-age males have gone in.

Sixteen?

Yeah, they serve more customers

than a f***ing McDonald's.

Here, check this out.

Is he still in there?

I clocked one point of entry.

He's in there, but it's not gonna be

an easy breach.

Oh, I don't know about that, man.

Probably see the Legend and just let him

right in, you know, big-time celebrity.

Ask him to sign their burka.

- Appear at their child's birthday parties.

- Ha-ha-ha.

Hey, what is your problem?

I didn't promote myself.

Yeah, no sh*t, motherf***er.

I did that for you.

You would've never made chief if I had

nicknamed you the f***ing Myth or some sh*t.

He invites you to join him

for Eid al-Adha supper.

He says, on this day,

everyone has a seat at my table.

Oh, that's very generous of him.

That was, like, close, man.

Have some. Pretty good.

That's very nice.

Take a cucumber.

Take cucumber

and put it in a tub with vinegar.

Yeah.

Stick in cayenne pepper, add a lemon in it...

...and let it soak overnight.

It's that, just add vodka.

That's the idea. You wanna get in on it?

Let's do it. I'm a ground-floor investor.

All right.

Biggles, you never cooked

a day in your life.

Dude, that was the real question.

That was super real.

All these random people getting behind us.

Get my father to fall in behind me.

Holy sh*t.

Squirrel? You want some olives?

No, I don't do olives, man.

Somebody will get on that lamb head?

No, no.

Come on, man. Get some brains!

I gotta wash my hands.

- It's good.

It's good?

Hey, man.

This is good, man.

Go check that out, Biggles.

- Stay right here!

Wait.

What the f***?!

Biggles, help me out here.

See that, muj? Huh?

You see that?

- What the f***'s going on?

- Bring the Terp in.

Oh, sh*t.

All right. Now you tell him that he's

gonna be sent off to detention...

...and the Iraqi courts can decide

what to do with him.

Or he can help us get inside

that restaurant downstairs.

You tell him. Say it's his choice.

That's it.

All clear.

Good, good. Moving.

Assault team set.

Green-side security set.

Package is moving.

Fifteen meters out.

Ten meters.

Five meters.

He's knocking.

Hold.

They're vetting him.

Lights out, muj.

Execute. Execute.

Frag out! Frag out!

Aah!

Anything coming out the back?

Negative. No movement.

Oh, sh*t.

- "D", take him down.

Got him.

Get him down.

Oh, sh*t!

We found a tunnel. Watch your back.

Keep your eyes open.

Contact front!

Contact! Fall back!

White-side, all security. White-side.

Butcher's on the move.

Repeat:
Butcher's on the move,

I'm in pursuit.

Butcher's down. Moving your position.

I offered him detention.

It was his choice.

Picked the wrong side.

It's all there is to it. Fog of war.

Yo, Chris!

F*** them, man. Let's go.

Sh*t's getting hairy.

Armed insurgents are moving this way.

We need to make tracks.

Good job here, chief.

Want another one or are you good?

- Look. What is this?

You get what it gives you.

That's how this thing works.

You don't get that one,

if that's the one you want.

I like that.

That's good. That's strong.

Chris, your truck's ready.

- You can move that all you want.

Your truck's ready. Impossible.

Give me your credit card.

Okay. Interesting.

I gave it to you?

Right.

- Pick it up off the floor.

- See if Chris Kyle's on file?

Off the floor.

Make sure you get all of them up.

Well, you got one back here.

Excuse me, sir?

Uh...

Are you Chief Chris Kyle?

Yes, sir.

My name is Mads. Um...

We met in Fallujah. You saved my life.

I did?

Yes, sir.

We were stuck in a house

until you came in with the 1st Marines.

You carried me out.

Oh, wow. Well, the Marines saved our

ass plenty of times.

- How are you? All right? You holding up?

- Great. Yeah.

I'm just grateful to be alive.

It hasn't been...

- It hasn't been easy.

Oh.

Well, you know.

- A lot of guys lost more than just a leg.

- Mm-hm. Mm-hm.

Did you lose some friends?

Well, that too.

But I'm talking about the guys that lived.

You know, that made it back,

but they're just not back, you know?

- They can't seem to get right.

- Yeah.

Mm-hm.

Why don't you come down to the VA

sometime. The guys would love it.

They all know who the Legend is.

- Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

- Hey, buddy.

Can I tell you something?

Your dad? He's a hero.

That's right.

He saved my life...

...and he helped me get back

to my little girl.

So thank you for lending him to us.

Okay.

I wouldn't be here without him.

My family thanks you for your service.

Okay, thank you. All right.

- Take care of yourself.

- It's great to see you again.

- Come down to the VA sometime.

- Okay. Yeah.

Grab your little lizard up there.

- Thank you.

You're welcome.

- Have a good day.

- You have a good day.

Goodbye.

All right, let's go meet your sister, bubba.

Hey. Some help here? My daughter's crying.

That's my daughter over there.

I think she's crying. Tend to her, please?

Excuse me.

Hey!

Hey, where you going?

Hey!

Hey, would you tend to my daughter,

please?

Hey!

Hey! Tend to my daughter, please!

Right now!

I'm making memories by myself.

I have no one to share them with.

Yeah, well, we got our whole lives for that.

When does that start?

Even when you're here, you're not here.

I see you.

I feel you.

But you're not here.

I hate the Teams for it.

I do.

You're my husband.

You're the father of my children, but

they're the ones that pull you back.

Yeah, but, you see,

they can't wait and we can.

If you think this war isn't changing you,

you're wrong.

You can only circle the flame so long.

It's true.

Cadillac 31 actual, we're tailing The Butcher's

courier currently on Maryland Street. Over.

Hey! Got the ring.

From where? From here?

Yeah, man. F***, yeah.

It's so much cheaper here.

Dude, you bought it from savages? How

do you know it's not a blood diamond?

What the f*** do you care, man?

You've spilled so much blood over here.

You're the Legend.

It's not for a rock.

Oh, what the f*** ever, man.

That's just hypocritical.

Hey, ease up on that.

Don't get too close.
