Red Dawn Page #4

The chair is against the wall.

The chair is against the wall.

And for the Wolverines of Spokane...

Guys, they're talking about us.

Keep up the pressure, patriots.

Wolverines, baby.

Wolverines.

It's beautiful, huh?

Very.

I wish I could look at it

without thinking of Laurie Stewart.

What?

Laurie Stewart.

Who?

Camping? Memorial Day weekend?

I have no idea what you're talking about...

We had that huge barbecue

and I ended up getting food poisoning,

so I was in and out of my tent

all night puking,

and that's when I saw the two of you

ducking into the lake together.

- Oh, that Laurie Stewart.

- Oh, yeah, that one.

Oh, man.

You know, she was a good kisser.

- She smelled like Aqua Net.

- What?

Hairspray.

Sh*t, that's right.

She had that terrible haircut.

The one that I immediately copied

and wore all through middle school,

which you never noticed, by the way.

No, I noticed. It was awful.

Oh, sh*t. Go, go!

Go! Go! Go!

- We're safer inside!

- No way I'm staying in here!

Julie? Julie?

Julie!

- Danny? Danny?

- Robert, she's gone.

- We gotta go. He's gone.

- Danny!

Daryl? Daryl? Can you hear me?

Come on, we gotta go. We gotta go.

Grab your weapon.

Let's move, come on.

Run.

Let's go, Matty. Matty, come on!

I gotta stop.

Come on.

You can do it. I'll help you.

I got it.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Here.

Jed?

You should try to get some sleep.

I'm okay.

You know, this was...

This was bound to happen, sooner or later.

Yeah.

I was talking to the group, Jed.

They're starting to question everything.

Nobody's saying they want to quit, but...

Yeah?

What do you think, Matty?

Rub some dirt on it.

Who are you?

You might want to answer that first.

Let's put down those weapons.

Then we can lose the masks.

What kind of sh*t-show did we drop into?

Sergeant Major Andrew Tanner.

Marine Corps.

We're Alpha Company.

Recently un-retired.

Out of where?

Camp Pendleton.

When there was a Camp Pendleton.

Now we're part of the Free American Army.

Three guys?

That's it?

What good are three guys?

Hey, sh*t-for-brains.

You're sassing a United States Marine.

All right, look, we're trying to link up

with a group of insurgents working the area.

Call themselves Wolverines.

- You ever hear of them?

- Yeah, we've heard of them.

You here to help them out?

No. Actually, we were hoping

they could help us out.

We're camped just below here.

We got clean water and bandages

and another camp

about six miles west of here.

We were gonna try and push on

after we ate.

We're the Wolverines.

I was afraid of that.

So how did we get here?

What happened to our defense?

It went defunct.

Sh*t-ified.

There's a new class of weapon.

It caused a massive electrical pulse.

Everything went off-line

and never came back.

Grids fried, subs drowned.

They mopped up by hitting cities

with tactical non-nuke warheads

and landed ground troops

where they needed strategic pressure.

What about the Russians?

Sh*t, they got the whole Eastern seaboard.

We know they supplied hardware

and aircraft,

but North Korea locked down

the Pacific Northwest.

So it's over?

Over?

What is this?

A rifle.

That's right, motard. A

marine and his rifle.

It's the baddest sh*t-kicking weapon

in the world.

And I'm still breathing, so it ain't over.

Far from it.

Lucky for us, they bit off

more than they could chew.

A lot of this country is still free

and up for a fight.

Hoorah.

Michigan to Montana, Alabama to Arizona,

that's still free America right now.

We're only 50, 60 miles from the border.

That's right.

And other places, too,

swinging back our way.

Wide-open shooting war in Florida.

Texas-Mexican border

has been burning for weeks.

All because of folks like you.

You've made a difference. Hell, you...

You are the difference.

So how can we help?

What we can't figure out is how come

they're not crippled by their own weapon.

You guys ever see them using something

like this?

Hey, Matt, is your phone still working?

Well, Semper Fi, Wolverines.

What is it?

It's how they talk to each other.

A closed network for communication.

So it can't be hacked.

But if we had it,

it'd be the foothold we need

to start pushing them out

and take our homes back.

And you want to steal it?

Rapidly.

- You good?

- Yeah.

They've fortified the police station

with bunkers on all four sides.

A couple of mobile structures

acting as barracks

that house the off-duty personnel.

There is at least 20 guys in there

at any one time.

And a ton of firepower.

I got a news flash for you.

There's no way in there.

Oh, there's one.

What, we jump?

Yeah, that's the plan.

That's not a plan.

That's a sh*t sandwich without the bread.

Cover me.

Sh*t!

I hate these kids.

Hate 'em.

Son of a b*tch!

Hodges, you're with me.

Smith, you grow roots up here.

You hear anything that sounds

like Americans getting their asses kicked,

you make damn sure those girls know

when it's their turn to dance.

Any guesses where that little green box is?

Yeah.

We're gonna follow the wire.

Down! Down! Down!

Welcome to sh*t's creek, motards.

All right.

Our wire just split

into three different directions.

Nothing's easy.

All right, here's the plan.

You two, take the back stairs.

Follow the line down to the ground floor.

Jed, Matt, you stay up here,

trace the other two.

Hodges, you're with me.

We're going to secure the front door.

Let's find this thing

and get back to the hood.

It's a good day to die, gentlemen.

What did he say?

Don't worry about it. Marines don't die.

They just go to hell and regroup.

What did he say?

Clear.

Dude, they're not gonna keep

their uber box under the frigging couch!

How do you know?

It's a vital piece of military equipment,

not your porn stash.

You got this.

My wire goes to Cho's office.

And he's home... Sh*t!

This is about to get interesting.

Matty, where are you?

Smith, you're on.

C'mon, ladies, show us your guns.

Sh*t!

Come on!

We gotta get out of here!

Run!

He was just here.

Keep them away from the box.

Sh*t!

Not gonna happen.

Grenade!

Tanner!

- Get that thing out of here. I'll cover.

- No, I'm not leaving you.

God damn it, Matty.

Get that thing out of here. Go!

Matt Eckert!

You f***ed with the wrong family.

Get this out of here, Robert.

Where's the box?

It's safe.

All right, let's get out of here.

It's pretty deep.

Yeah, but it doesn't hurt. It's okay.

Hey.

Hey.

I'm okay.

I'll be right there.

Collateral.

Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah. Sure.

What's up?

Nothing. I...

I was just thinking, you know, and...

I'm not very good at this, man.

Good at what?

Giving you props when you get it right.

And letting you know that

I'm proud of you.

Yeah.

Yes, Jed. That's not one of your strengths.

- No.

- No, it's not.

So, how about that beer now?

Wow.

My first one.

Where's yours?

She stole it from me.

Go get it.

Matt! Watch the back!

Tanner! Cover me!
