How's Angulo?

He's okay. It's just a flesh wound.

Copy that. Come down.

Do you need help?

Negative.

- Sobrino and I can handle it.

- Damn.

My first time getting shot.

It's nice and warm.

Like I peed myself.

Abda, help the sergeant first.

- Yes, sir.

- Lieutenant! The stretcher. Help.

Yes, sir!

Gavilan, bring two men over here!

On three.

One, two, three.

Take care of Vazquez, sir.

I'll handle this.

Squeeze tight.

Here you go.

Who do you think you are?

So...

The cops you trained

started shooting at you.

What a shame.

But I'm not like them,

you understand?

The Taliban killed my whole family

for taking me and my sisters

to Barcelona.

I do have a reason to be here,

more than you.

I'm not like them!

BALA MURGHAB:

COMBAT OUTPOST (COP)

Landing zone in sight,

permission to land.

- Anything you need, sir.

- Captain, if I may...

Come in.

Excuse me, Major.

Captain Lazaro.

- What's up?

- Bad news from the area.

- What happened?

- There was an attack.

The insurgents are concentrated

in the rearguard at this height.

Our people are here,

trapped in this hollow.

In this area.

You said we're here, right?

Yes, sir.

Look closely.

This is like a giant bowl

full of dust,

it's where they make it,

that's our main problem.

But we can fly in and position

ourselves on top of the cargo

before all the dust covers it.

Yes, but how do we stay in position?

If we can't see the cargo,

we'll drift.

We can put two vehicles

in the distance as a reference.

If we focus on them,

we can tell if we're drifting.

Then it's a question of skill.

Skill? Then someone else

should do it.

No, seriously.

It's a good idea.

Between the two of us

we can pull it off.

What do you say, Castro?

- In theory, yes, we can.

- Nacho?

I think so, sir.

Good.

- Get the gunners ready.

- I'll handle it.

We'll eat and drink

in the Chinook.

- Get to work.

- Yes, sir.

Lazaro, I need plenty of ammo

for the vehicles. Food, water...

- As much as you can give me.

- Anything you need, sir.

Here, for the gunners.

Conte, I'll bring you up to date

on the new situation.

Activity in the area

has picked up. We've identified

two pick-ups, three SUVs

and a large number of motorcycles.

We think

they're preparing an attack

at dawn. I'll keep you posted

on their movements.

Give me a count

of how many come in.

The border is 350 kilometers

from the POI.

How long have the Tigers

been out? Before they run out

of fuel, pull them back

and send them over.

Two groups of 6 men

at the top of the trail.

Captain, they keep coming.

You have about 200 insurgents

in the area.

Another truck in transit 4 kilometers

from the enemy position.

There will be more at dawn.

Conte, this is Colonel Bermudez.

If the position becomes

indefensible,

you're authorized to blow up the MEDEVAC

and evacuate in the vehicles.

Yes, sir.

Captain.

Captain, have you got a second?

Yes.

How is Vazquez?

Stable.

I wish I could say out of danger,

but it's still too soon.

Could the wounded be moved

into in the vehicles?

- Yes.

- Do it.

And the MEDEVAC crew

as well.

Don't worry, we're not going

anywhere.

We control this location.

Not what's out there...

Inside the vehicles you'll be safe

from gunfire.

Next time start there.

Next time.

Captain.

- Aguilar.

- Lieutenant.

Remember what you said

about the vehicles against the slope?

Yes.

Do it.

Yes, sir.

The Americans can't send us

any Apaches. What about the Tigers?

Almost empty.

If we send them to the COP

for fuel and ammo,

how long would that

set them back?

40, 45 minutes.

That's too long.

The insurgents don't know

that we're almost out of ammo.

Send two Tigers to the POI.

If we're lucky, the insurgents

will fall for the bluff and flee.

And send the other Tiger to refuel.

Let's give Ledesma a chance

to go in and get them.

Lower him carefully.

Come on, Norris.

Up you go.

Luis, Luis.

Pick it up, pick it up!

Luisito.

It's great to hear your voice, sir.

Isabel, what did you do

to my friend?

We removed around 650 kilos

before the attack.

I don't think we can

take off much more.

Bullet in the ass!

What's up? Yeah.

Can he lie face down?

Yeah.

Yeah, I can hear you, Ramon.

Go ahead.

I'll tell Vilches.

Yeah.

Sure, sure.

My anti-bullet charm must be

broken, Captain.

Don't worry, this one

won't kill you.

LUIS@Ok.

I can't leave you guys alone

for a second.

Watch and learn, Pea. She took out

4 tucus all by herself.

Want to join the Legion?

Negative.

Hang in there, you're okay.

- Take him to the RG.

- Yes, sir.

All set.

Pea, give us a hand.

Will do. Bye, Ramon.

...and three.

- Isa.

- What's up?

Tell Vilches to find a landing zone

for Alpha 2

and Conte that we need

two of his vehicles as a reference.

Anything else?

Ana asked for a divorce.

What?

She wants a normal life.

Just what I can't give her.

Jesus...

I'll...

I'll go do that.

Isa.

Lieutenant.

- Would you like some water?

- Yes, thank you, Sanchez.

How are we on ammo?

Dry.

At most, to repel one attack.

That's your father's medal,

isn't it?

There's something I never understood

about the general.

How could he like

that beer with lemon crap?

He drank it by the liter.

My father didn't drink.

He did with us.

Your father was a great leader.

The best man I've served with.

He had the balls to give orders,

to fight,

to drink when he had to.

And to cry, if necessary.

Why are you telling me this?

With all due respect, because you're driving

me nuts with the damn medal, sir.

This is a last resort.

Do your job and leave

the fighting to the legionnaires.

Raquel.

Everything will be fine.

Don't worry.

The hospital is getting

a great doctor.

If the Tigers don't come soon,

they won't get much.

You're the best soldier

I've ever seen.

You're an extraordinary woman.

Please, take care of yourself.

Lieutenant.

I think we could all use

a quote from our creed right now.

Legionnaire knights,

from our creed,

recite with me

"The Spirit of Death."

Out loud.

"To die in combat is the greatest honor."

"To die in combat is the greatest honor."

"You only die once."

"You only die once."

"Death comes with no pain."

"Death comes with no pain."

"And dying isn't as horrible

as it seems."

"And dying isn't as horrible

as it seems."

"The most horrible thing is...

to live on as a coward."

"...to live on as a coward."

Take cover!

On the ridge!

Save your ammo!

Only take good shots!

Spread out!

Only gunner and driver

on the vehicles!

Hit the mortars!

Everyone, hold the perimeter.

I repeat,

hold the perimeter.

Keep them at bay!

Ramirez!

Medic!

Careful!

Now!

Last clip!

I'm out!

God!

Last clip!

Red!

Sh*t!

Damn!

Captain, you know they're running

empty, right?

Damn. Always the life

of the party, Lieutenant.

This is Ogre 1.

Enemy located.

Positive identification.

I'm out. Ogre 2, take over.

This is Ogre 2. I'm out too.

Alpha 1, we've opened a window.

Two, you see the point?
