What are you eating?

Mre. This is, uh... penne and vegetable.

My wife, she made this.

[Enzo mimics a dog barking]

That's f***in' amazing. [Chuckles]

My compliments to your wife.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

Nah, I'm joking.

[Enzo chuckles] Yeah,

i told you he would, man.

[Burton chuckles]

You sure you don't want some of my penne?

No, really, it's... no.

Smart man.

-Yeah.

-[Indistinct chatter]

[All chuckling]

-[Rap music playing]

-[Burton and Enzo exclaiming]

[Both laughing]

[All singing] oh, no! The fight's out

I'm about to punch your lights out

get the f*** back

guard your grill

we can't stay still

[Burton and Enzo laughing]

-I wanna be serious, all right?

-Say it.

This is for...

This is for f***in'...

This is for f***in' chutsky, man.

-Chutsky, baby.

-Chutsky.

-Okay? R-i-p.

-[Burton] Miss that motherf***er.

[Enzo grunts]

-He loved this music. [Laughs]

-He did not f***ing love this music.

[Matt] He f***in' only listened

to country music.

[All laughing]

[Burton] He's good.

No, he's good for it.

Okay, where the f***

is kadeer and these guys?

[Woman lamenting indistinctly]

[Harper] Okay, Enzo, Burton,

full security.

Machmoud, come here.

-Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.

-[Woman lamenting and speaking arabic]

[Woman continues lamenting]

[Lamenting and speaking arabic]

[Harper] We got...

We got a situation here.

You're gonna have to get higher

on the horn, okay? Out. Copy.

[Men shouting indistinctly]

[Lamenting continues]

[Lamenting continues]

[Speaking arabic]

The downtown market here

is where they are based.

They meet at night.

The flower shop here...

Is where I think they hide their weapons.

I know the place. Thank you.

And we're sorry for your loss.

I don't need your thanks.

Bj, would you, uh, escort

this gentleman out, please?

Harper, ocre.

Do you guys think this info is credible?

Should see what they did

to this guy's brother.

He's got every reason to want to help us.

Pepps?

[Sighs] Seems like too good

an opportunity to pass.

Okay. Well, this intel's only gonna

last so long before it goes bad,

so we got to move.

My guess, we can take two teams.

I'll lead Alpha on the back.

I'll take bravo and make entry,

hold the front.

I can get the guys in there,

but we don't have enough vehicles

to block the street, so...

-We're gonna be needin' your help.

-Yeah, Roger that.

Good.

Full brief in about an hour.

[Harper] I know. I've...

I heard you, Anne.

Anne, I... look, will you just...

Will you say it?

-Sh*t, sorry. I'll come back.

-No, man, [Stammers] You're good.

Will you just say it

even if you don't mean it, Anne?

Just say it.

No, never mind.

Okay, Anne.

[Chuckles] You take care too.

Hey, phone's free if you want.

[Scoffs softly]

[Smacks lips] You good?

Yup. Yeah. Yup.

[Sniffles]

Hey, bro, you know, we're finally gonna

get a chance to get these guys.

Then we can finish the pump station,

fix it, go home.

[Softly] Yeah.

"There's a bullet out there

for everyone...

With their names written small

on the side.

Mine is coming." [Chuckles]

No, my dad used to say that.

That's comforting.

But it is, if you think about it.

You know, maybe...

Maybe my bullet's waiting out there.

Or maybe my bullet is cancer.

Gonna hit me 50 years from now.

Oh, but that's not up to me.

So why worry?

Sure you're up for this, huh?

Yeah.

-[Burton] Are you good?

-[Enzo] Hell no, I ain't good.

This is war, baby.

I'm just f***in' scared, man.

My hands shaking and sh*t, like...

-Now look at me. Look at me.

-...A little b*tch.

Now you drive this motherf***er.

And I shoot anything that gets in the way.

You understand me?

You keep me safe up there.

[Scoffs] You know it.

Come on.

[Both inhale sharply and exclaim]

Hey, James.

[Harper] Yes, sir.
