Jarhead 3: The Siege Page #3

watching me and Hansen

when I first got in.

STAMPER:
Bullshit.

How do you figure

you can tell one

of these f***ing rag

heads from another?

I can tell.

FNG still trying to

catch the bad guys,

trying to be a big hero.

Hotshot looking

to get shot.

You're damn right.

I don't know.

Look, Albright,

any one of these

guys even thinks

about making

a move for the gate,

they become targets.

They never do.

They know

the drill, man.

Why don't you chill

out and grab a beer?

LOPEZ:
That's bullshit,

right there.

That ain't even in his lap.

It's like almost a...

STAMPER:
My cushion's

on that couch, baby.

NOVESKI:
I got your couch

right here, baby.

LOPEZ:
Bullshit, man.

STAMPER:
Look,

take your ass downstairs,

go clean my couch.

And you're positive?

There were no camera crews

near the US Embassy?

Thank you.

Can we get the tribal leaders

from all sides there?

Excuse me,

Mr. Ambassador, sir?

Yes, Corporal Albright.

I thought you

might wanna have

a look at this.

I think I saw

this guy filming

the perimeter outside.

You think so

or you know so?

Well, I think so.

He was at a distance,

but...

So you're not 100% sure?

100% sir? No.

All right. Well,

you must be mistaken.

But I called all

the news stations

in the area

and none of them

had a film crew

anywhere near here.

And what did Raines

or Kraus have to say?

I thought you'd

wanna see it

first, sir.

I'm aware of

the potential dangers

of working here

and I know there's

a lot of people

who wanna destroy

the trust we've

built up in the region.

But my job here is

to build bridges,

and people trust

me to do my job.

You have to trust

the people around

you to do theirs.

You understand?

Yes, sir.

All right.

Good man.

All right, Rashmi,

I want you to

be there as well.

It's very important

that we see that a woman

can be there

working on this project.

EVAN:
I'm telling you,

I Know what I saw.

It's bullshit.

LOPEZ:
But you need

to chill, all right?

That's why I brought you

out here, to get your

mind off bullshit.

Hold on a second.

Let's go eat.

I'm starving.

And what do you

think, man?

Which one?

I don't know.

For your daughter?

No, man, for me.

You see, I was thinking

of sipping some

malt liquor later, so.

Hey, she's gonna

be 16 one day.

Maybe you should get her

one of those burkas.

You're an a**hole,

man, you know that?

Yeah, I know.

I think I'm gonna get

her this. She'll like this.

Dick.

F***in' John Wayne.

You think

there's a threat,

then you're supposed

to let me or RSO Kraus

know, follow protocol.

You went straight

to the Ambassador.

I'm... I'm sorry,

Gunnery Sergeant.

I just thought...

No, that's just it.

You didn't think, did you?

Look, we get reports

like this here

or worse on a daily,

but now Kraus

is so pissed you went

over his head with it,

he's probably not even

gonna take it seriously,

and that's on you.

That's bullshit.

No. You're bullshit.

All you care about

is yourself and trying

to be some kind of

goddamn rock star.

I joined the Marines

when I saw ISIS

lopping off heads and

burning people alive.

I love my country.

I know your

story, Albright.

Never knew your dad,

your mom OD'd,

bounced in and out

of foster care,

people just moving you

from school to school.

You were always

getting your ass kicked

so you learned to kick

ass back. Am I right?

It was just you,

wasn't it?

You against the world.

Well, it can't be just

you no more, Albright.

Not here.

What's this?

Transfer orders,

devil dog.

You wanna be an army

of one, well, okay.

I'm gonna give

you what you want.

I got nowhere

else to go.

I got nothing else.

You think you're

the first Marine

that life's dealt

a shitty hand?

Huh?

You better figure out

what you really want,

Marine, you better

figure it out quick.

Dismissed.

I said dismissed.

(PARTY MUSIC PLAYING

OVER SPEAKERS)

LOPEZ:
Yes, man. Go, man.

That's my boy. All right.

Yeah.

Can I get a shot

of Jameson, please?

So how'd it go

with Raines and

the boys today?

Nothing like a little

abduction to make you

see the error of your ways.

I heard.

You should've went

through the proper chain,

but I did check

your guy out.

Are you sure

this is who

you saw?

Six hours ago I was.

Now, I don't know

what I know any more.

Yeah, well, his name

is Khaled al-Asiri.

He was the leader of

the local militant group

with loose ties to ISIS,

was the mastermind

behind countless

jihadi attacks

throughout the Kingdom.

Just last month he

used his little brother

as a suicide bomber

to blow up a mall in

the northern territories.

Killed 60

innocent people.

I heard about it.

So why does

everyone seem

so convinced

that it wasn't

him I saw, then?

Because he was taken out in

a drone strike two weeks ago.

How do you

know all this?

Because maybe, like you,

I've got bigger aspirations.

Hey, about today, man...

No, I get it.

It was on me.

It's all right.

It had to happen.

All right.

Come on.

(CROWD CHATTERING)

HANSEN:
All right.

There he is.

There he is.

SUNSHINE:
John Wayne.

Buzz the door.

I just need you to

sign him in, sir.

Like I give two

shits what you need.

See, he's got

what you didn't,

an actual meeting

with the Ambassador.

Now open the door.

(BUZZING)

What's up, chief?

What the f***'s

wrong with you, man?

You need to take

a dump or something?

Kraus just came

in with some local.

Total red flag.

They had guns out,

super serious,

refused to sign him in.

Well, he's probably

just still pissed at you.

Thinks you made him

look like a dumbass

going over his

head like that.

Hey, what

the hell is that?

This is Post One.

What's going on

out there, Mohammed?

I don't know. Looks

like some foolish rookie

just busted down.

(CROWD CLAMORING)

(SPEAKING ARABIC)

You mind taking

a closer look

to make sure?

I'm on it.

(CONVERSING IN ARABIC)

It's him.

A dead man. Sh*t!

Where are you

going, man?

It's a set up,

get away

from the van!

Get away from the van!

Get away from there!

(GUNFIRE)

Are those

gunshots?

Don't move!

Come on, let's go.

Kraus?

Hold fast, sir.

We'll be back.

Allahu Akbar!

(YELLING)

What the f***

is going on?

We got tangos inbound.

They have just

exploded the front gate.

Multiple hostile.

Lock it down, Albright!

Get to the safe room!

We'll meet you there!

Marines, get your

sh*t together!

(SHOUTING INDISCERNIBLY)

Lock it down!

Yes, sir.

(CROWD YELLING INDISTINCTLY)

So this sh*t is real.

Yeah, it's real,

all right.

Get your

game faces on.

This sh*t is real.

Hurry it up!

All right,

devil dogs.

Let's move!

You know what to do, people.

Let's get those carts full.

Let's move it,

quick as we

can, people.

What?

Olivia,

all those MSC files,

all the government

communications,

pack them up.

What are we...

All right, Blake,

shut that down.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah. Yeah,

no,yes.

Rashmi, get those

computers down.
