PILOT:
We’ll do whatever we have to do to
get you with your men.
KRISTENSEN:
Thank you.
67
Luttrell and Axe trying to quietly climb their way down the
mountain. Still a couple of hundred feet above the village.
They are climbing, falling 10-20 ft. falls.
67A

lead.

it’s clear. Kristensen’s 47 will be
1st to hover.
69
EXT. J-BAD AIRBASE 69
The two Apaches show up. Tearing over the airfield. Hellfire
missile arrays and 40 mm front mounted getting guns.
95.
The Blackhawks finally take off following the Apaches.
Tracking tight with Taraq. His worn sandaled feet slowly
stepping down the mountain. He’s following blood drops.
Tight on beaded stone necklace with seven American Dog Tags
hanging from it like human scalps.
Tight on a blood soaked dog tag:
“Danny Dietz”
We move across the faces of several of these Afghan warriors
They feel more like Comanche Indians than anything else.
Fierce and focused, guns up, they hunt Americans.
70A FURTHER DOWN: 3RD CLIFF EDGE ABOVE VILLAGE 70A
Luttrell and Axe at a major cliff edge, looking back
up...guns pointed up mountain.
We pull wide and see just how close Taraq now is to Luttrell
and Axe, 100 ft. away, max. Closing in.
On Luttrell - hearing Taraq and his men, whispering to Axe.
LUTTRELL:
Come here Axe. Let me see you.
Axe nods, blood slow running from his head shot down the
back of the neck. Axe touches the wound.
AXE:
Did they really shoot me in the
head?
LUTTRELL:
Yea buddy.
A moment of silence.
AXE:
It’s funny man. I thought it would
feel worse you know.
LUTTRELL:
Yea.
96.
AXE:
Mikey and Danny are really dead
right?
LUTTRELL:
Yea.
AXE:
Are we dead?
LUTTRELL:
Negative.
AXE:
We’re f***ing good right?
Axe stares at Luttrell. Marcus looks at his dying friend.
AXE (CONT’D)
Marcus?
LUTTRELL:
We’re real good Axe. Real good.
Mikey made the call. We just got to
stay alive for fifteen minutes max.
AXE:
Mikey made the call right?
LUTTRELL:
F*** yea he did.
AXE:
They’re coming.
LUTTRELL:
Coming strong man.
AXE:
Good. That’s good.
LUTTRELL:
I don’t want em to get us with an
RPG, Axe.
AXE:
If I f***ing die you make sure
Cindy knows how much I love her.
LUTTRELL:
She knows.
97.
AXE:
You tell her I died with my
brothers. With a f***ing full
heart.
LUTTRELL:
We ain’t dying Axe.
LUTTRELL (CONT’D)
Can you get to that rock over
there?
LUTTRELL (CONT’D)
With the dead black tree?
AXE:
Yea I can do that.
LUTTRELL:
You get there. I’m gonna move
right. Cover each other.
AXE:
Did Mikey make the call?
LUTTRELL:
Fifteen minutes brother. Stay
strong Axe.
AXE:
I’ll do it.
LUTTRELL:
Stay quiet.
A nod from Axe and the two men split up.
Axe moves to his left, Luttrell to his right.
Tight on Axe. Shot up. Blood pouring from head wound. Tough.
Grinding it out. Staying low. Deep breathing. Grunting as hecrosses the mountain.
Gun fire erupts around him. Turning, spots half a dozenTaliban on him.
Axe pushes deeper into the woods. A hunted animal running outof options.
LUTTRELL:
The same. Moving quiet in the other direction.
98.
This is all very silent. Tense....Taraq like a hunting dog,
dead quiet, Luttrell and Axe, the hunted, desperately trying
to stay quiet.
On Luttrell - trying to move towards a large rock...
His right foot digging in for traction, dislodges a small
pebble... on that pebble picking up momentum, hitting smaller
pebbles, dislodging more little rocks... A mini avalanche,
hitting a bigger rock.
Tight on Luttrell.
Looking down at the small rock slide, hearing its noise....
LUTTRELL (CONT’D)
Sh*t.
And they open fire again, bullets firing all around Luttrell,
both Luttrell and Axe return fire. This is much closer gun
fighting...grenades and RPG’s at close quarters. Men behind
rocks, guns blazing.
Over the head of the lead pilot as he comes flying up towards
the mountain.
72 ON LUTTRELL:
MOUNTAIN ABOVE VILLAGE 72Mid gunfight he looks up as that big 47 flies up high over
them, over the top of the mountain.
On Axe and Luttrell spotting the QRF.
LUTTRELL:
Keep fighting Axe.
Axe is fighting. Shot up but recharged by the 47.
73 INT. LEAD 47 73
Too high to see the gunfight down below the pilot is focusing
on the landing area on top of the mountain. He does a 1st fly
by over the top. Looks clear.
LEAD 47 PILOT
(on radio)
Looks good. Looks quiet.
99.
2ND 47 PILOT
Roger that we’re good to drop.
The second 47 pulls up over the LZ.
Ramp down, fast rope out. The SEALs, lead by Kristensen, up
ready to fast rope out....
The TF 160 gunners alert, scanning behind their 50 Cal.
Machine guns.
The 47 pulls up, high hover, 80 ft. drop.
Tight on Kristensen
His hands around the fast rope....
KRISTENSEN:
Let’s do this. Patton, you’re first
move!
Shane Patton, can’t help but grin, he’s on his feet moving
towards the open door.
KRISTENSEN (CONT’D)
You good?
SHANE PATTON:
Couldn’t be more good.
KRISTENSEN:
Glorious opportunity here, Mr.
Patton.
SHANE PATTON:
Yes sir.
Kristensen has one foot out of the chopper when...
Movement on the ground.
50 Cal gunner catches the reflection of something metallic, a
small detonation from the ground. Then terrifying sights of
incoming ordinance.
50 CAL GUNNER
RPG!
Tight on Kristensen and Patton looking down as the RPG round
flies into the chopper right past them, literally into the
47.
99A.
74 EXT. A MOMENT OF SILENCE, THEN... 74
The Chinook explodes.
Ripping apart, tilting, rotor blades immediately tearing into
treetops then thick tree trunks - like massive buzz saws -
100.
Rocks and trees churn, bodies break and burn and die as the
big Chinook 47 rips apart exploding and tumbling down the
mountain.
DOWN RANGE:
74A
ON LUTTRELL - peering up at the explosion. 74A
Luttrell watches wide-eyed as his teammates smash and burn.
74B
Banks hard as the Taliban fire more RPG’s and small arms fire
up at it
75
INT. 47 - AIRBORNE 75
Argument breaking out between SEAL Lt. and Airforce Pilot.
SEAL LT.
You got to put us down now!
PILOT:
No f***ing way.
