[Buzzer]

First and second squad,

move out.

Third and fourth squad,

move out.

I have authorized the use

of lethal ammunition at this facility.

Any prisoner who refuses to obey

my commands will be shot.

All prisoners

down on the ground, now!

I will give that command

one more time.

Then I will fire into them.

Surely, you don't want that

on your conscience, do you,

Prisoner Irwin?

All prisoners

down on the ground, now!

[Irwin]

Wait.

We don't have to do this.

We'll fight on.

No. It ends here.

Men, get down!

You, too, Yates.

That's an order.

Now, give me my flag.

It's not your flag.

What are you doing, Mr. Irwin?

You have lost.

I will not let you do this.

You will not raise that flag

upside down!

Get down on the ground

or you will be fired upon.

This is my command!

You will not raise that flag

upside down!

Designated marksman, open fire.

Selected marksman, open fire.

Open fire on that man!

That's an order!

What are they--

What are they doing?

What are you doing?

Do it now! Open fire!

Do not let him desecrate that flag!

Open fire on that man!

What are they doing?

- McLaren, Niebolt, with me!

- Niebolt, stay where you are.

Don't you defy me.

Don't you see what he's doing?

He's undermining my command!

Don't you see?

Don't you see what he's doing?

Don't you see

what he's doing?

Step away from the flag!

Step away from the flag!

[Gunshots]

[Peretz] Colonel!

Colonel, put the gun down, sir.

- [Peretz] Please. Please,

Colonel, put the gun down.

- [Gasps]

Colonel.

Sir, it's over now.

Just give it to me.

- [Breathing Heavily]

- [Peretz] Prisoners stay down.

- Hey, Doc!

- [Man] Go now!

McLaren, get 'em

back in the tiers.

[McLaren]

A team, B team, move out now.

[Man] Let's go!

Hands behind your head!

All right!

On your feet!

- [Men Shouting]

- [Grunting]

[Man] Let's go, people.

Hands behind your head.

[McLaren] Prisoners will

return to the cell block.

[Speaks, Indistinct]

- Come on, Doc.

- He's bleeding.

- We got an ambulance on the way.

- Get him to the hospital.

[Yates]

A great general once said,

"You tell your men,

'You're soldiers.

"That's our flag. '

"You tell them,

'Nobody takes our flag. '

"Raise your flag so it flies high

where everyone can see it.

Now you've got yourself

a castle. "

[Steel-String Guitar]

[Man]

Where the years have gone

I have years to go

Workin' for the man

to pay the debt I owe

Well, the time may pass

but the truth will stand

When the good Lord

shakes this calloused hand

You can call my name

It's time to go

But I'll never be free

till it's chiseled in stone

Ain't no man

gonna carry my load

I gotta be a man

and do it on my own

Devil's in my path

and the hound's on my heel

Have to walk in my shoes

just to know how I feel

The devil's callin' my name

He's the one who knows

That I'll never be free

till it's chiseled in stone

Chiseled in stone

Well, I keep on goin'

though there's no way out

Every stone in my path

is a brick in my house

A man's life is built

all along the way

By the things that he's done

and the choices he's made

Someday they'll call my name
