Black Hawk Down Page #4

I want ground forces to move and secure

a new perimeter around that crash site.

Can you guide the convoy in there?

Roger that.

Well, move quick.

The whole city

will be coming down on top of them.

Star 41, come inbound

and see if you can land at the crash site.

Roger that. Star 41 inbound.

We just lost the initiative.

Over.

Leave a security element in place.

Take the rest of your chalk to the crash.

Check for survivors. Secure the area.

All other chalks will follow.

-25, do you read me? Over.

-Roger that.

Galentine! Schmid!

Get Yurek.

Get Twombly.

Hey, there's a Black Hawk down.

Twombly, Nelson, stay here.

Hold this corner

and then exfil with the humvees.

Galentine, Schmid, you're coming with me.

Let's go.

How come I got to stay back here?

Because you're dependable.

All right...

...let's go!

I hate being dependable, man.

Juliet 25, hostiles advancing,

parallel west to your position.

Women and children among them. Over.

Hit the wall.

Incoming!

Grenade!

Go.

We still got guys inside!

I'll go to the crash.

You take the rest of the team.

I'll finish loading the prisoners.

No! We'll go to the crash site together.

Secure the perimeter,

wait for the humvees.

-Roger that.

-Follow my lead.

Sarg'nt, are you receiving me?

Yeah, I heard you.

We should be leaving soon.

All right, we need to move out now!

I'll finish loading the prisoners

and pick you up at the crash site!

Let's move out!

Moving out! Go!

Get in! Get in!

Move!

Eight o'clock!

Grimes, stay away from the walls.

Grimes. You okay?

Yeah!

Let's go, Maddox.

-C-2, convoy's moving out.

-Roger that.

Maddox, look at these jerks! These idiots!

Go, go! Right, Maddox, right!

Twombly, the convoy is leaving!

Hey, Twombly!

What?

-I think they've forgotten us.

-What?

It doesn't matter.

on all sides. They need help now.

Indigenous personnel

advancing to Wolcott crash site.

Say again. Over.

A lot of people closing in.

How far is Chalk Four from the crash site?

-Six blocks, sir.

-They need to haul ass.

Get down! Get down!

Scotty, are you okay?

No, don't go back!

Get down! Get down!

Technicals!

Got them!

Six o'clock! Move, move!

Go, go, go!

Go, go!

Come on!

Yurek, leaving!

Come on!

Uniform 64, left turn. Left turn.

Romeo 64, I need to know

before I get to the goddamn street!

You have to slow down. There's a delay.

From the time directions are relayed

from surveillance to JOC, then to me.

We can't slow down!

We're taking heavy enemy fire!

We can't slow down!

Danny, I'm getting information

from Orion surveillance above.

So get me my f***ing directions

to the crash site!

Danny, hold on. I no longer have

the best view of your route.

Get your ass in the right place,

goddamn it!

What in the hell is the status

of Struecker's humvees?

Colonel Harrell, ETA to base,

Struecker's column.

ETA to base momentarily.

Open the gate!

-Get him out! Let's go! Let's go!

-Come on.

Watch his head.

Easy.

-Blackburn, can you hear me?

-Get him to a medic.

Star 41 is at the crash site

to evacuate the injured. Over.

Roger that.

I got you.

Easy.

Galentine, you all right?

Galentine, Kurth, with me!

Cover fire, now.

Full cover!

How many are in there?

Two pilots are dead,

two crew chiefs are wounded!

-He's hurt bad. We must get out of here.

-All right. Go ahead.

Is that you shooting up the technicals?

This is 26. Roger that.

DiTomasso, take the southeast corner.

We're setting up a perimeter. Over.

This is 26. Roger that. Moving there now.

Move out!

Captain Steele, come in.

Go ahead, 25. This is 64.

We got two wounded and we got both

the pilots dead in the chopper!

We need a medivac now!

It's too hot to land a bird.

You must secure the perimeter first. Over.

Where are the humvees?

Be advised, 25, the convoy will be there.

They're encountering a lot of resistance.

-Get the 50 up!

-You should see the crash directly ahead.

All I see is a roadblock!

I'll have to figure out another way.

Give me a defensive perimeter

so we can load the wounded.

Fire your weapon, Othic!

Tell my girls I'll be okay.

Medic!

Hoo-ah!

Medic! Medic!

Joyce! Joyce!

Come on, help me pick him up!

Get us off this f***ing street!

Where's the crash site? Say again.

Keep going straight 200 meters.

Roger that.

Let's go!

Let's go, goddamn it, let's go!

Hey, Twombles. Come here.

The humvees ain't coming back, dude.

What?

Were we supposed to go to them?

I thought they were coming to us.

-I think we're supposed to go to them.

-Sh*t.

Let's go to the crash site.

Okay.

Don't fire that thing so close to my head.

I can barely hear as it is.

Move out.

Sh*t! Get down!

What did I just tell you?

If you do that again...

You okay? Nelson.

You all right?

Search and rescue bird on station

inserting medics.

Go!

Go, go!

Son of a b*tch. C-2, this is 68.

We've been hit.

Super 68, there is smoke coming

from the top of your rotor.

-Advise you to come out now.

-Roger.

Dropping last man.

Art, I've got skinnies with RPGs at 12:00.

Can you see them?

Got them. Give me 90 degrees left.

Super 68 is out. Over.

Hey, Wilkie, what's the situation in there?

Both pilots are dead.

We'll kill them just carrying them.

-Stabilize in here?

-Roger.

Stabilize in the bird.

Repeat:
Stabilize in here. Over.

Understood, Wilkie.

We got you covered. Over.

Super 64, come inbound

and take Wolcott's position.

Roger. 64 is inbound.

Super 64, you all right?

This is Super 64. We're good.

You sure?

You look like you got clipped pretty good.

Instrument panels are okay.

No, we're good. Got a slight vibration

in the pedals, but we're good.

All right, put her down on the airfield, 64.

Have it checked out just to be safe.

Roger.

I'm getting movement in these pedals.

Check the systems again.

We lost the tail rotor! It's gone!

We're going down.

Get Struecker's column back out there.

They need to get to

Durant's crash site fast.

-Another bird down.

-I want them out of there.

All of them.

Captain Steele, we got to move

or we'll get pinned down!

We're moving as fast as we can.

You let me do my job and you do yours.

Over.

-F***! F***!

-Ruiz stay down.

-I f***ing knew...

-Medic.

F*** this! Captain Steele,

I'll take out the threat in the window.

We'll rally at the grey building.

Coming through.

Sarg'nt!

All right, let's move!

Cover me!

-Let's go, let's move!

-Moving out.

Friendly!

Friendlies coming through!

Let's go, let's go! Move up!

Come on, come on!

Come on!

Move up! Go! Move up!

What the f*** are you doing out there?

Doing my job!

We got to get to that crash site!

We got to get on that street,

and we got to move!

And you have got to keep up, sir!

Don't you ever give me orders, Sergeant.

We are combat ineffective, understand?

We got too many wounded to move!

Then give me some shooters

and I'll circle us to the bird.

Grimes! You're with Chalk Four?

Yes, sir!

All right, hook up with Delta!

Rejoin with Sergeant Eversmann.
