[ Helicopter blades whirring,

gunfire ]

[ Radio chatter ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Where is everybody?

STUPE:

I don't know.

Are we supposed to

meet them inside?

Are we supposed to

meet them outside?

We were just with everybody,

and where did they go?

How long do you think it's gonna

take for Belinda to get here?

I don't f***ing know!

Can you be patient

for one f***ing second?

I don't want to be here

any more than you do.

[ Siren wailing in distance ]

[ Explosion in distance ]

[ Gunshots in distance ]

[ Explosion, gunfire

in distance ]

So what year of college are you?

Second-year grad student.

What are you studying?

Civil engineering.

That's great.

That's great.

You'll be able to help

make a difference.

That's great.

[ Explosion in distance ]

How old's your kid?

You never told me.

When my wife and I

used to argue,

she'd get pretty

worked up at me.

And I'm so stubborn.

She'd get so frustrated,

and she'd...

she'd lose her temper with me.

And she'd say, "Stupe,

you're such a f***ing a**hole."

I can be.

But almost immediately,

she'd come over.

And she'd put her hands

on my face.

And she'd say,

"But you're my a**hole."

We were so in love.

And my son...

My son was so beautiful,

so smart.

I wish you could have seen him.

They're dead.

They were killed in

the World Trade Center attacks.

[ Breathes deeply ]

And I was so angry.

I was so full of hate.

I just wanted someone to pay.

So I enlisted

in the Marine Corps.

[ Sniffles ]

About a year and a half later,

they shipped me over to Iraq,

and I got my chance to fight.

I thought it would

make me feel better,

but it just made me feel worse.

I did a lot of things

I'm not real proud of.

So, uh...

[ Sniffles ]

I became a hospital corpsman.

'Cause I thought

if I saved lives, that would...

That would make me feel better,

but I just...

I lost more men than I saved.

And one day...

after months of nightmares

and not being able to keep

my goddamn hands from shaking,

I just stopped.

I just...

I couldn't bear to watch

one more f***ing person die.

So they sent me home

on a medical discharge,

and I just turned myself off.

For years, I just wanted

to be invisible.

[ Explosion in distance ]

And here I am again,

right in the middle of it,

right in the middle of all this

f***ing death and killing.

It's like it's being shoved

down my f***ing throat,

and it just goes on and on.

It just never stops,

and it's f***ing for what?

For what?

[ Explosion in distance,

electricity crackles ]

When my family died,

I died with them.

But we're gonna get out of here.

We're gonna get Belinda.

We're gonna get

the f*** out of here.

[ Breathes deeply ]

Thank you for telling me.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

I've just never really

been able to talk about it.

Why'd you tell me

you had to go to Hoboken?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sniffles ]

I thought if I told you

I was going to Hoboken,

no f***ing way

you'd try to follow me.

- [ Laughs ]

- [ Chuckles ]

Who the f*** wants

to go to Hoboken?

- You.

- [ Both laugh ]

I got to take a piss.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Gunshot ]

[ Thud ]

Stupe!

- What the f*** did you do?

- I'm so sorry.

[ Crying ]

He came at me, and I...

[ Crying ]

LUCY:
Get the f*** out!

Get the f*** out!

Oh, my God.

[ Crying ]

Oh, my God.

Stupe.

Stupe. Stupe.

Wake up. Wake up.

Oh, my God.

No, no, no, no, no.

F***.

I don't know...

I don't know what to do.

Just tell me what to do,

and I'll do it.

I'll just...

Let me help you.

[ Crying ] Let me...

I don't...

Damn it.

[ Crying ]

I'm so sorry.

What am I gonna do?

F***.

Sorry.

[ Explosion ]

[ Gunfire ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Door opens ]

BELINDA:
Lucy!

Lucy.

Oh, yes!

LUCY:
Ohh.

I thought I lost you, too.

Are you okay?

What happened?

Did they do...

Hey, hey.

Get the f*** away

from my sister.

We did exactly what you asked.

Now get the f*** away from...

Hey, hey. Calm the f*** down.

The fight's outside.

You did your thing

with the church group,

and we got your sister here.

- You okay?

- Lucy, I'm really okay.

It's really bad outside.

We all just want

to get out of here.

Where's the big guy?

Look. You guys can stand

around talking about nothing,

but we're getting

the f*** out of here.

- Just give me a minute.

- Wait.

JAMES:
You're wasting time.

We're leaving.

LUCY:

Come on!

Lucy, what are you doing?

F*** me.

Really?

He's dead?

That's some sh*t.

We got to get out of here.

[ Gunshots in distance ]

Whoa.

We're going.

- Come on.

- Okay, okay, okay.

LUCY:

Stay close to me.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

BELINDA:

I'm so scared.

I told you it was

f***ed up out here.

LUCY:

Stay close to me.

BELINDA:

Okay, okay, okay. I'm here.

There's so many people.

You can't even see anything.

LUCY:

Let's get behind this.

BELINDA:

We're stuck.

We're not going to be

able to get through.

- No, no, no.

- Lucy, let's go.

They have a plan. We just have

to get to those helicopters.

Where are they?

LUCY:

They're right over there.

[ Gunshots ]

- Stay near me.

- BELINDA:
Okay.

[ Horn blares ]

[ Crowd cheering ]

[ Horn blaring ]

Whoa!

LUCY:

Okay. Let's go.

[ Gunshots ]

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Don't lose me.

Oh, sh*t.

[ Gunfire ]

- Belinda, wait.

- Got you, b*tch.

Get the f*** off me.

[ Gunshot ]

Come on. Come on. Get up.

We got to move.

[ Gunfire ]

LUCY:

[ Shouting ]

LUCY:

This way.

[ Gunfire ]

Okay.

You're good.

You're good. You're good.

Okay.

This way. This way.

This way.

- The gun's out.

- Drop it, drop it.

[ Men grunting, gunfire ]

Take his gun.

Take his gun.

Come on.

- Aah!

- [ Gunshots ]

Help me. Help me.

Help me.

[ Grunts ]

F***.

Run and keep shooting!

[ Gunfire ]

Yeah? Okay.

Gonna get behind those barrels.

Ready? Okay. Run.

- Run!

[ Gunfire ]

You okay?

We have to make it

through there.

What?

No. F***.

We're not gonna make it.

Okay. We're gonna pull these.

Are you ready?

We're gonna pull these.

One, two, three.

- Throw it.

- Throw.

MAN:

Grenade! Grenade! Grenade!

[ Explosion ]

[ Gunfire ]

[ Explosion ]

- Oh, look!

- We found it.

We're almost in. The helicopters

are right over there.

We got to get

the f*** out of here.

Oh, sh*t.

[ Gunfire ]

I see the helicopter.

[ Men grunting ]

Come on.

We're so close.

[ Gunfire ]

Everybody keep moving

towards the chopper.

LUCY:
Aah!

Aah!

MAN:

Stay low.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Belinda!

Okay.

I'm coming for you.

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

Aah! Aah!

Aah!

Oh. F***.

F***. Okay.

Can you walk?

I can't.

Okay, okay.

I'm gonna pull you.

Okay. One.

We're so close.

We're so close.
