Mine Page #4

Synopsis: In the middle of the desert, an area filled with 33 million blast mines scattered everywhere, marine sniper Sergeant Mike Stevens is on a mission to locate and neutralize the leader of a terrorist cell. After three months and six days in the desert, one single moment of hesitation is enough to blow the entire mission, and now Sergeant Stevens is stranded in a hostile guerrilla territory all alone, and to make matters worse, with his left foot on an active mine. Against the harsh environment, without water, the sergeant must stay glued to the spot and use his Marine training, his resourcefulness and his perseverance for the next 52 hours until a convoy arrives in his area. Between the scalding heat of the day and the freezing cold of the night, if Sergeant Stevens wants to survive, he must fight not only the mighty forces of nature but also the greatest adversary of them all: himself.

When the mine took my leg...

I thought my life was over.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

I was so afraid in the hospital.

I only thought...

My leg is gone.

I only thought about all the

things I could never do anymore.

There was a radio...

that played music in the hospital.

The singer said...

"You always have to keep going,

you always have to keep going. "

But I didn't listen to the singer.

I only thought of my leg.

My leg was gone.

How everything could

only be bad in my future.

Then, in comes a nurse...

and she smiles...

at me!

So I listen to the song.

"You always have to keep going,

you always have to keep going. "

Maybe this bad thing...

was the only way to get

to something beautiful.

And so I met my wife.

She took care of me.

And our children were born.

My life with only one leg...

it's beautiful.

You understand what I'm saying?

Now.

This will make you crazy.

You...

you'll see things...

and then everything will be fine.

Drink.

I've seen your daughter.

She brought the bottle.

I...

brought you water bottle...

Mike and Michael.

They are wrong to think

they are unlucky...

and a really beautiful little girl.

She has your smile.

I have only 3 sons now.

My little girl was with me...

when the mine exploded...

many years ago.

We gathered mines together...

Selling them to the guerrillas.

Very valuable, those mines.

We were very poor...

and she was very good.

She would take a stick...

and poke it sideways.

She'd find a mine...

and then carefully dig, dig, dig.

She pulled out the mine...

and put old cans.

Metal detectors can't find makeup.

Then, one day...

a mine takes my leg.

I'm not so lucky.

I live..

and her fate came before mine.

But I'm happy...

that the desert makes jokes

and lets you meet her.

I lost so much...

when she stepped on the mine that day...

because I am not

a very lucky man like you.

But I'm a free man.

I moved on.

I always move on.

That's why you always have to keep going.

I always take the next step,

although next step may be difficult...

too big...

and scarey.

You know how not to be afraid?

I have to become...

a free man.

Don't go...

Don't leave me too...

I have some problems,

The guys at work...

I don't think they like me...

I don't know, maybe

you just need to relax.

Tell me, you call this respect?

I'm sorry, I was just trying

to understand the situation,

Tell me, Rose, do you call this respect?

I'm sorry.

I don't. I'll show you, Rose.

I respect you, Bob. You know.

Just don't do that, okay?

Mike's awake.

Please.

I don't care who wakes up, you hear?

In my house.

And I deserve respect from you, Rose!

Did you understand?

I get it.

I respect you, Bob.

You know I respect you.

It's like a war out there, you know?

To find the money to feed you!

For you and that kid!

Maybe...

try to...

I don't know, don't drink too much,

maybe he can help...

Shut up, Rose!

Hello, sweetheart.

Hey, Mikey.

I woke you up?

You have something to say, boy?

I get it. Come on, boy!

I'm right here!

You peed in the bed?

You're a baby, remember that.

You wet the bed, Mikey?

Leave him alone, he's a child.

Rose!

Shut up, Rose!

Get out of this house! Get out!

And you call this respect?

At your age, boy... I was a man.

Don't you dare talk to me

like that in front of Mikey!

Mikey, you don't

have the balls, kid!

No problem, Mikey.

Now I'll show you how to become a man.

You have something to say, boy?

Listen!

I'm right here!

Strength.

Come on, boy!

I'm right here!

I'm right here,

Wait a minute, darling.

Why such a hurry? Sit with us

for a bit. What'll it cost you?

I won't bite, you'll see!

It's really the

wrong night for this, okay?

So let's make it the right night!

Come on, dear.

Come on, sit here.

Got something to say?

I feel you.

I feel you.

Come on, boy.

I'm right here.

Hey, Mike! Mike! Mike!

Look at me.

You see, down there at the bottom?

The cavalry is finally coming.

It's a mirage.

I can't go on.

No.

No, Mike.

It's not a mirage.

I'm here, my friend.

It's not a mirage!

We have to tell them that we're here...

or they won't find us.

Alpha Margo 4, Alpha Margo 4...

Echo Bravo 3 coming,

Where, Sergeant Stevens?

Signals your pos...

I'm here!

Alpha Margo 4, we're leaving.

I'm down here!

We can't stay long!

We don't see the Sergeant, where is he?

No, I'm here!

I'm here!

Come on, Mike.

Mike, we have to go.

You have to concentrate.

Here...

a small step for mankind...

but...

a big step for a man.

Can you hear me?

You better get moving!

I'm here!

?Why are you getting married.

Do you remember me?

Do you remember?

You're dead.

Tommy died.

Render unto you homage to the crown

and sworn allegiance to our Kingdom.

Your Highness...

I solemnly swear...

to be a brave knight.

Reverent and always polite...

a champion of truth and justice...

and I solemnly swear

to be honest and good.

I swear to protect our Realm.

And I swear it all in your presence...

my princess.

I want it!

What do you want?

I want you to be...

a brave knight.

It remains alive, Mike and Michael.

You have to let me go, Mike,

Don't be afraid if

the suffering stops, honey.

I'm not afraid...

not anymore.

You're a strong guy.

You're honest...

and you're good.

And I know that nothing will

ever be able to stop you.

Never.

But you have to let me go.

You have to move on.

Come on, boy.

I'm right here.

Now I can have one beer, please?

Jenny?

It's why you're here, Mike.

Why you're here.

You have to move on.

7%...

good.

You always have to go on...

You always have to go on...
