Don't you dare, soldier.

17

00:
02:44,664 -- 00:02:45,622

Don't you dare.

18

00:
02:53,590 -- 00:02:56,508

Go go go go!

Me and my boys'll go left.

23

00:
03:16,237 -- 00:03:16,904

24

00:
03:17,071 -- 00:03:18,864

Roger that.

- Let's move!

25

00:
03:19,073 -- 00:03:21,325

Alright boys, stay on my ass!

26

00:
03:25,330 -- 00:03:26,330

Go go go!

27

00:
03:26,497 -- 00:03:27,915

Dowdy, Johnson, wait here!

28

03:28,082 -- 00:03:30,500

Pena, Carver, against the fence!

29

00:

I see them, Sergeant! I see them!

30

00:
03:33,713 -- 00:03:35,130

Get the f*** back!

31

00:

03:42,805 -- 00:03:45,682

Sarge, Sarge, are you there?

34

00:
03:54,359 -- 00:03:56,151

Sarge, are you there?

35

00:
03:56,402 -- 00:03:58,028

That stupid sonofabitch, Dowdy!

36

00:
03:58,196 -- 00:04:00,322

He's got his ass pinned down

under the bridge.

37

00:
04:00,490 -- 00:04:03,325

Put Carver and Johnson on Dowdy

and suppress that fire.

38

00:
04:03,493 -- 00:04:04,910

Then hook to the right with Pena.

39

00:
04:05,078 -- 00:04:06,119

Hold your positions.

40

00:
04:06,287 -- 00:04:07,162

00:
04:07,330 -- 00:04:08,497

Roger that.

42

00:
04:09,332 -- 00:04:10,374

Let's move!

43

00:
04:17,423 -- 00:04:19,800

Johnson, Carver, we need cover fire now!

44

00:

In position, Sarge.

48

00:
04:54,252 -- 00:04:55,544

There's a pick-up passin' me now, Ron.

49

00:
04:55,712 -- 00:04:57,671

I think there's gonna be one passin'

you pretty quick.

50

00:
04:59,424 -- 00:05:02,009

Right on, Sarge. I see 'em coming.

51

00:
05:02,302 -- 00:05:03,802

Let's get set for a double switchback.

52

00:
05:03,970 -- 00:05:05,762

Just Iet it roll.

It'll take the heat off Dowdy.

53

00:
05:05,972 -- 00:05:07,347

Then we get 'em on the way out.

54

00:
05:38,004 -- 00:05:40,505

Yeah, I got em, guys. Wheeoo!

55

56

00:
05:57,315 -- 00:05:58,190

You okay, Pena?

57

00:
05:58,358 -- 00:05:59,191

Still breathing, sarge.

05:59,359 -- 00:06:00,359

I got 'em!

59

00:
06:00,526 -- 00:06:02,110

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Sh*t!

66

00:
06:37,021 -- 00:06:38,355

Alright, defense, now!

67

00:
06:39,232 -- 00:06:40,690

Get his sh*t off!. Get his sh*t off!.

68

00:
06:47,281 -- 00:06:50,242

Gut wound. He's losing a ton of blood.

69

00:
06:50,701 -- 00:06:51,618

We need an immediate medevac.

70

00:
06:51,786 -- 00:06:54,079

No! By the time they scramble a helo,

and get it out here

71

00:
06:54,247 -- 00:06:55,997

he'll be dead from sestemic poisoning.

72

00:
06:56,416 -- 00:06:59,292

He needs surgery FAST

or he hasn't got a prayer.

73

00:
06:59,460 -- 00:07:00,419

07:02,964 -- 00:07:05,090

It's about five minutes away.

Area seemed okay.

76

00:
07:05,258 -- 00:07:07,050

No, no, f*** that,

Cohen, you know how long it'd take

77

00:
07:07,218 -- 00:07:08,677

to get clearance

for something like that?

78

00:
07:08,886 -- 00:07:09,803

F*** the clearance.

79

00:
07:09,971 -- 00:07:10,637

It's on me.

80

00:
07:10,805 -- 00:07:12,431

I left before you got here.

81

00:
07:12,849 -- 00:07:14,808

I'll lose a stripe for

the sarge any day.

82

00:
07:15,101 -- 00:07:16,101

Same here.

89

00:
07:26,821 -- 00:07:27,320

We're going now.

90

00:
07:27,488 -- 00:07:28,697

Easy... easy.

91

00:
07:28,865 -- 00:07:29,573

Come on, breathe.

92

00:
07:29,782 -- 00:07:31,074

Hang in there, man.

93

00:
07:31,451 -- 00:07:32,951

Hang in there, Sarge.

94

00:
07:36,247 -- 00:07:37,330

Listen guys,

95

00:
07:37,540 -- 00:07:40,250

keep your heads up

and watch for movement.

96

00:
07:41,210 -- 00:07:43,170

How's it going up there, Jackson?

97

00:
07:43,337 -- 00:07:45,172

Looks quiet so far, sarge.

98

00:
07:45,339 -- 00:07:49,134

Can't this tub of sh*t go any faster?

We're losing him!

99

00:
07:49,302 -- 00:07:53,513

Yeah, well fast ain't gonna mean

dick if we hit an IED, doc.

100

00:
07:53,931 -- 00:07:55,640

We gotta play this thing smart.

101

00:
08:03,274 -- 00:08:04,858

It's all my fault, sarge.

102

00:
08:06,986 -- 00:08:08,069

Get off it.

103

00:
08:08,488 -- 00:08:11,448

You did your best, sarge did his.

104

00:
08:12,116 -- 00:08:14,451

Sh*t went down, okay?

That's war, Billy.

105

00:
08:14,619 -- 00:08:16,077

You just gotta regroup and move on.

106

00:
08:16,245 -- 00:08:19,372

Sarge, man, you think

DeIvecchio's got a chance?

107

00:
08:19,582 -- 00:08:20,999

I mean he was bIeeding out, man.
