-Damn straight,

better for business.

-Stay back.

You want me

to shoot you next time?

Pick your bike up.

Don't touch it though.

No.

Come.

Clear.

-What is his name?

-Hey, kid.

We ask the questions here.

Sir, could you

get in the vehicle

and proceed to the checkpoint?

His name is Rex.

Here, let me

give you my card.

Xbox.

No, no, no.

-Back to your vehicle now.

-Rex! Come on.

What are you doing?

You never tell a hajji

your dog's name.

He's just a kid.

I've seen kids not much

older than him call a dog over

with a detonator in hand.

You wanna

keep your dog alive?

Sort your crap out.

Hey, let's go.

Next!

Keep these people moving.

Let's go, let's go!

We'll get better at this.

I promise.

Good boy.

Seek.

You sure? All right.

Oh, what is it?

You did it.

Good boy, good boy.

Come on, come on.

Seek. Come on.

Could be a full suit.

Check it out.

Good boy.

Good boy.

Did he find it?

These guys

ever take a break?

No.

Come here.

Yeah, I guess so.

Good boy.

You wanna play, boy?

You wanna play?

Go get it.

Good boy, Rex.

Come here, Rex.

Leavey, recon needs you

on a mission, five minutes.

I thought I wasn't allowed

to go on missions.

No one else. Get your gear.

Yo.

They blew up five of our guys.

Let's get in there

and smoke them out.

One of you check the road.

The house is over here.

I'll take the road.

You get the houses.

Okay. Sweep the dogs.

They might be

stuffed with ieds.

Clear.

I just wish this guy

had a couple rugs.

-Ask him why so many rugs?

-They're prayer rugs.

Ask him.

They're a religious family.

They're not enemies

of the states.

And they thank Americans

for helping in the fight

against insurgents.

- Oh, well, we thank you for your bullshit.

- Hey.

Open this cabinet.

Open it!

Get back.

What's he got?

He got something?

We need some room. Step back.

Move these rugs.

Move 'em!

-His sons put 'em there.

-We don't care. Move 'em!

He's not a well man.

Tell habibi

we don't care about his health.

He needs to move them.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Move them now.

Today!

Okay. Gonna need

someone to check that.

I got it.

- Oh, my god.

- Don't move!

Hey!

Stop!

- Stop!

- Don't move! Don't move!

Nice work. Cleared out

quicker than we found it.

All right.

More bad luck.

Look at this.

This is you?

Well, it's him.

Well, don't get

all big-headed on me now.

You just saved

a bunch of lives.

Outstanding work.

Both of you.

Thank you.

Come on, chico.

Whoo!

Oh, yeah!

Okay, you ready?

Three, two, one.

You cheated!

I won!

I won! I won!

It's okay. They're fine.

They're fine, they're fine.

They're big boys.

Go. Let's go.

Take him down!

Yeah!

Chico.

Oh, you're slick,

'cause I already know

what card that is.

There we go.

Pick up some more.

Keep going.

You still don't have it.

Oh, my god.

Keep going.

Keep going.

Relax.

He looks like he's trying to

decide which of my body parts

he wants to eat first.

Yeah, he is.

Oh.

The moment has come.

Mm-hmm.

You set that up.

Totally didn't, but...

That was good.

Thank you.

So, mets fan...

Did you ever play?

I did.

High school. Third base.

I thought I was actually

pretty good, but, uh...

College scouts disagreed.

So here I am.

Screw 'em. I'm not really

a sit-in-the-classroom

kind of guy anyway.

Me neither.

So, what's your story?

Why'd you join?

I wanted to get the f***

away from my life.

That was a downer.

Does it, uh, have

anything to do with Jesse?

I, uh, saw your tattoo.

Um...

Yeah.

He was my best friend.

We used to spend

every weekend at his house.

Not like that.

He was like my brother.

His family was amazing.

Unlike mine.

I spent christmases there.

Um, and one weekend

we were drinking

and, you know, taking pills,

doing stupid

high school stuff, um...

We took

the exact same amount.

I mean, I probably

took even more

than he did, but...

Well, I woke up.

He didn't.

His family

keep trying to reach out,

but... I can't even...

It should have been me,

and we all know it.

Mmm.

I gotta get up early.

I'm gonna go to sleep.

Good night.

Night.

Good boy.

Good boy.

We need one dog team

for a road sweep

and surrounding area check.

But you requested

two teams.

Things change.

We only have the room

for one team.

Hey, it's going down leash.

I'll go.

Leavey.

I got this.

Mount up!

You heard him.

Let's go.

Move it.

You're from New York?

Yeah.

Me too.

My first time

in country.

What about him?

Germany.

Germany.

German Shepherd.

I like that.

You know

what I heard?

I heard the enemy likes

to steal the dogs, right,

to strap bombs on them

and send them back

to their owner.

Well, since Rex can break

someone's arm with his teeth,

I'm not too worried.

Leavey! Dog up!

It's okay.

They've been spending a lot of time together.

I'm glad I'm not them.

Stop talking!

Good boy. Good boy.

Found something!

Hey, leavey,

does he really need

another break?

With all due respect,

it's been two hours

and it's 120 degrees.

So, yeah, he does.

It's not like

he hasn't earned it.

- Vehicle approaching.

- Guns up.

Rex.

Gomez, warning shot,

one round.

He's not slowing.

Stand by to light him up!

Gomez, o'Connor,

secure the hajji.

- Get on the ground!

- Get on the ground!

Get on the ground!

Get on the ground.

Get on the ground now.

Get on the ground.

Lay flat on the ground now!

Put your hands

behind your back.

Hands behind your back.

Rex!

-Clear.

-Leavey, check the vehicle.

Hey, come on. Let's go.

Okay, boy.

Rex!

Rex!

Rex, no, no, no.

Rex.

I'm not leaving

without my dog.

Come on.

Hey! How did your dog

miss that?

You could have

got us all killed!

I never seen an ied

buried this deep.

You gotta see this.

They must have triggered

the bomb from those houses.

I don't know.

Maybe they were targeting Rex.

No, they were targeting

leavey and Rex.

Let's get those cowards.

Radio morales.

Get him and his dog

down here now.

No, if we wait for morales,

the spotters will be gone

by then. We can do it.

No way. Forget it.

Do you see how many ieds

we found today?

How are you gonna make it

through the field without us?

-Goddamn it, you're injured!

-Yeah, because those a**holes

waited all day watching us.

She's got a concussion,

sergeant.

She may be confused,

disoriented.

They almost killed us!

How are you gonna make it

through the field and the house

without us?

What about your dog?

He's injured too.

He's fine.

We can do this.

-Let's go!

-I'm gonna check

with air support.

In the meantime, Gomez,

get your team together.

Get in there,

check it out, do it fast.

We'll cover you from here.

Yes, sir.

Go. What are you waiting for?

Move, move!

The first house, 150 meters.

It's a little too quiet,

but it's up to you.

We don't have all day.

We'll follow you, leavey.

Let's move out.

He found another one?

Yeah.

It's a pressure plate.

Good boy.

Seek.

Okay, leavey,

we're ready for you.

Clear!
