I sold it to Colonel

Lupo. He didn't pay me.

That's why I'm on this trip.

To kill him or get paid.

The Grim Reaper always gets paid.

Come on. Come on! Move it! Move it!

Cover! Cover!

You! You said the sea

route would be safe.

Because of you, my men are dead.

I knew you were bad news.

Before I met you, I never

lost a man under my command.

What am I supposed to do

with your precious sponsors?

Fulfill your contract.

Lead them to safety.

These men need your skills now, Craig.

Their survival is in your hands.

Once we get to the resistance base camp,

Ernesto can arrange

for their evacuation.

Come on.

Let's get the f*** off this island.

Grimaud, give me your cell phone.

But you wanted to kill man-prey.

You haven't completed your mission.

Yeah, that's very clever.

Give me your cell phone.

I don't have one.

Hey, Sam. Do you have a cell phone?

Now, son, I know things

aren't going according to plan,

but Sam Haussmann didn't come all

this way just to turn tail and run.

And I'm not sure using a cell phone

is such a swift idea, either.

This isn't what we paid for!

How you holding up, Sam?

Getting old, Captain. Slowing down.

Enjoy it while you can, Captain.

You're a long time gone.

I'm hungry. What have we got to eat?

We eat at the camp.

Just remember, I'm on

a low-carb diet, okay?

It's over.

Without those weapons, we

can't resist any longer.

Tomorrow, you'll evacuate our sponsors.

I'll find us a boat. You'll be

paid in full for your services.

Definitely not low-carb.

I should have brought my chef.

Charlie, why the hell did you

pay to come on this mission?

Just so's you could

whine about everything?

Bragging rights.

Such is life on the street. Wall Street.

He who dares, wins.

We already know why Grimaud's here.

He's being shot at

with his own merchandise

and he hasn't been paid for it.

Why are you here, Tommy?

Doctor's orders.

My psychiatrist said that I am

addicted to shooter video games.

She suggested a dose of healthy reality.

So you're here to feel the real?

All right, that takes

care of the logistics.

But I'm not leaving this island

until we figure out one thing.

Why my men were killed.

Somebody talked.

If I were you, I would

move this base right now.

How about you, Sam?

Well, Sam just wants to hang a

human head in his trophy cabinet.

I don't plan on going home.

My present wife, I just

call her "number five,"

she's suing me for divorce.

And according to that prenuptial bullshit

I was an fool in love enough to sign,

if we split, she gets

half of everything I own.

Whereas, if I get killed, my

kids inherit the whole she-bang.

Hell, I've already

survived two heart attacks.

I've done pretty much everything

there is to do on this old planet.

And I've enjoyed the

hell out of it, too.

No, this here is all there is.

I say we stay here for the

night, break camp in the morning.

Okay, fine, that's your choice.

But I'm taking my men out of here.

At least what's left of them.

Die in battle...

That's a hell of a way

to screw a gold-digger.

And what are your reasons?

Get your things, we're

getting the hell out of here.

Yes!

Oh, we got 'em, we got 'em.

Here, take a look.

Ernesto!

- Cecilia, save yourself!

Okay, left ank, move in. Wipe 'em out.

What's up, Captain?

You wanted to see what war

looks like? Take a look.

All right, wait here. Don't

give way your position.

Hey, where you going?

Get the b*tch!

Jesus, they're getting

torn to shreds down there.

So this is what our money bought us?

To play war safely, from a distance?

So, we're going to just hide?

Are you saying what

I think you're saying?

Let's go kill some bad guys.

We start firing, they'll

spot our position.

Shoot, you can't bake a cake

without breaking some eggs.

Jackpot!

There's a sniper! There! There!

The enemy sniper, you see him?

The Grim Reaper is next.

Come on. Come on.

Incoming!

What the f*** happened?

Which one of you is responsible

for giving away our position?

Seemed to me our friends

down there needed some help.

Where's Vanderbeer?

Last time I saw him he was in the...

Looks like I won that bet.

It's a bet, you'll never call in.

Sh*t! Come on, come on!

Move it! Move it! Follow me.

Come!

Everybody behind the tree. Take cover!

Can they see us?

- Sin, stay down!

Where is that chopper coming from?

I said, where is that

chopper coming from?

Cecilia, you've got to snap out of it!

That helicopter's coming from

a helipad that serves the mines.

It's about three kilometers from here.

How do you know about this base?

I used to play in these

woods when I was a boy.

My father served here

during the Cold War.

And what do they mine here? Gold?

Coltan.

It's a rare Earth metal.

And you trade metals, don't you?

- Yes.

You want to tell us

now why you are here?

Business with Colonel Lupo.

I need that metal.

- Business?

You bastard.

People died because of your business.

We all believed you wanted

to help free this island.

Maybe it's you. You who

betrayed us for f***ing money.

Your greed has left you

with blood on your hands.

Here.

Wait here until I get back.

Cecilia!

It's too exposed up here.

We've got to get back to the group.

Look, I'm sorry about your brother.

And I'm sorry about your friends.

But there is nothing I

can do to bring them back.

Just like there's nothing

I can do to bring back mine.

Boys, this is our chance.

Sam, do you think you

can pilot that thing?

Piece of cake.

Let's wait for Craig.

It's a trap. I can smell it.

We capture it. We wait for them there.

You really want to die on this island?

Any moment now, that

chopper could take off again.

What do you say, gentlemen?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I'm in.

Let's do it.

- Come on.

Let's go.

Craig.

See how easy it is to

trap fools like you?

All you need is the right bait.

Take them away!

Those stupid bags of money.

Oh, Jesus Christ

What is this place?

It was a NATO base during the Cold War.

The whole mountain is

tunneled out from the inside.

Nice tomb.

Think we'll ever get out of here alive?

Hello again!

Your accommodation awaits.

Nice here, huh?

Private pool.

Room service.

Concierge.

Touch me again and I'll kill you.

Thank God, you're here!

Charlie!

Hey, Tommy-

I don't believe it.

Hey, Sam. Hey, buddy.

Well, we thought you were dead.

Me? Dead?

Of course not.

So what happened to you?

Well, I don't know about you guys,

but I have never been so

scared in my whole life.

I go outside to take a piss

and then all the shells started dropping

and the sound and the noise and the smoke.

I got completely disoriented.

I did not know where the f*** I was.

So I eventually found my way back and

the tent was destroyed you guys had gone,

and soldiers came and...

Now here I am.

Does anyone have a cell phone?

- No.

Just hoping.

Hey, Charlie. Have you got any of

those fancy cigars of yours left?

Sure, Sam.

Hey, Tommy, what happened

to our Captain and that girl?
