"designed to penetrate body armor." "This weapon's barrel has a one in eight twist." "That means there's enough spin to stabilize even the heavier 70-grain bullets." "It's accurate." "you get out of the line of fire. you'll be using blanks and laser-activated MILES vests to score hits." "the idea is not to get hit." "My men are good soldiers." "They know how to fight."

"Why not airlift him out? since the rebels have gotten their hands on Strela missiles." "what else do they have in store for us?" "you don't find out." "So we're on babysitting duty tomorrow?"

"He's playing with us." "He can't see around the door." "He's moving around to a better location to get shots." "Maybe he's gone." "I gotta get back into my house." "Fuck your house!" "You don't understand" "There's 50 yards of clear kill zone between here and that tree line." "He can pick us off one by one." "my" "Fuck!" "Objective is fucked!" "my God." "Damn it!" "Shit!"

"Shit." "What the hell are they doing here?" "I don't know." "man?" "Against the sniper?" "Well?" "Why are you looking at me?" "You're in charge." "Aren't you the sniper expert here?" "man."

"You're gonna get yourself" "Relax." "Where am I?" "You're in my camp." "You're the hunter." "Yeah." "Martin Chandler." "kid?" "Beckett." "Sergeant Brandon Beckett." "you want to let go of my arm?" "Sorry." "What were you gonna do with that knife?" "I was gonna try and get the bullet out of your shoulder." "but it's gone in too deep." "Where are you going?"

"The plantation." "I gotta get back there." "it's too dangerous." "Try and stop me." "Who are these kids?" "They're orphans." "Their parents were killed in the war." "I'm helping Duku protect them." "They live here?" "The rebels are always looking for new soldiers." "They force the young boys to join them and threaten to kill their families." "Sometimes just kill their families." "huh?" "Can you give me directions back to the plantation?" "A map of some type?" "I can't leave my friends out there." "I knew Van Brunt." "He was my friend." "He helped me set this place up in the early stages." "And he helped me with supplies when rebels cut off the shipments." "I also want to see his memory served." "By letting the people who killed him get away?" "Okay." "So you'll take me?" "Yeah." "I'm also crazy." "These hunters are going out early in the morning to shoot buffalo." "but I gotta get back before they leave." "How do I thank you?" "Just don't get me killed." "This is where I found the bodies." "Where are they?" "They were here." "You were the only one alive." "So someone took them?" "Yeah." "Let's check the house." "They don't leave much unturned." "Fucking rebels." "You do business with them?" "I trade them game meat so they don't kill my clients." "The same thing." "yeah." "I'll go upstairs." "Put that down." "Give that to me." "Just hold on." "We're not gonna hurt you." "You killed my father." "I should kill you right now." "I didn't." "I was here to help him." "I don't believe you." "Kelli?" "Okay." "Okay." "Putting my gun down." "I'm a friend of your father's." "My father had a lot of friends." "He would have spoken about me." "I'm Chandler." "The hunter?" "Yeah." "I didn't know you'd be here." "you say you knew my father." "Prove it." "Okay." "He said you were away at school." "Where?" "In Brugge." "You're staying with your aunt." "Is that correct?" "Yes." "Thank God you're okay." "You should come with us." "We can get you out of" "And who are you?" "with the United States Marine Corps." "In the Congo?" "Working for the UN." "They sent us here to take your father back to our base." "They knew there was trouble with the rebels." "Rebels didn't kill my father." "Her father had hidden her in the safe room." "I was pretty sure we'd been cut down by a single shooter." "But Kelli said she'd heard looters in the house who spoke English." "Maybe it was the same pack who attacked Chandler's camp." "They're taking the children." "get down!" "Get down!" "Where the hell is Chandler?" "Clear." "Chandler!" "supplies and children." "Why did they take them?" "They'll force them to fight for them." "and they call him a soldier." "We have to get back to the base." "Can I borrow one of your vehicles?" "Duku." "They've stolen everything but the Land Rover we had." "I've got to use it to track down the rebels and find the children." "Are you coming?" "I can't." "I've got to turn Kelli over to base authorities." "How will we get back?" "We'll walk." "We can't be more than four klicks to the border." "You don't know the bush well enough." "I know how to use a compass." "Do you have a compass?" "west." "The border is straight east from here." "It's too risky." "We'll be okay." "Not with that you won't." "Take this." "that'll just piss them off." "Take this." "It's not loaded and the shells are in the side pocket." "Thanks." "I'll bring it back." "That's if you live." "Keep off the roads." "Good luck." "Why didn't your father tell us you were in the house?" "I guess." "But I thought he didn't have any enemies." "What would he have been scared of?" "but he was worried." "I could tell." "Why would this have happened?" "Can you tell me that?" "My father was everyone's friend." "I guess anything I say right now isn't going to help." "That's right." "Your mother?" "She died when I was 10." "so he sent me to live with my aunt. only to lose him." "Now I have no one." "but you have to trust me." "I'm going to find them." "I swear." "Let's go." "Your wound is bleeding." "Are you all right?" "great." "Never better." "You're lying." "Was it at all convincing?" "No." "It's not much further." "We'll make it." "Is that more lying?" "too." "United Nations!" "I have to get back." "I have to get back." "Medic!" "Radio the UN base!" "His wound has gone septic." "We need to get him to the hospital now!" "What will happen to him?" "You do not want to feel any strain on your muscles." "you will not be able to hold that position without moving." "you give away your position." "you die." "Now breathe and fire at will. the most important thing for you to do is identify the location of your hide." "you will use intel." "You will use satellite maps." "You will use good old-fashioned reconnaissance." "what are we looking for in the final firing position? concealment from enemy and clear evac route." "son." "You are absolutely right." "A hide that seems good to you will also seem good to the enemy. like crests of hills that will get you silhouetted." "son." "I have no rank." "all the same. you may have to hold this position for several days." "sir?" "How do you You don't." "You piss your pants and learn to love it." "I love it so much I'm doing it right now." "You do not get to use the can till your mission is completed." "Savvy?" "fire at will." "That must have been a bad one." "Yeah." "I'm burning up." "Drink up." "Sergeant." "Where am I?" "the UN base." "but your fever broke today." "You're really lucky you got here in time." "The girl?" "She's safe." "Safe and sound." "I count the holes." "What?" "Little holes there in the acoustic ceiling." "I count them." "It helps." "That helps you sleep?" "No." "men I killed." "You've killed a lot of men?" "Enough." "kid." "It's just pulling the trigger." "It's living with it after." "That's hard." "sir?" "My name is Miller." "here to take you home." "Excuse me." "He cut us down like wheat." "My men died." "I should have died with them." "I fell down and I lived." "They were killed." "it's called survivor guilt." "but it's normal." "you know it's not your fault." "You just gotta find that place." "I know what I need to find." "What?" "The sniper?" "And then what?" "Kill him." "You can't fight something you don't understand." "Hey." "Being a sniper is something completely different than being a field trooper." "So I should what?" "Become a sniper?" "No way." "All that sneaky shit?" "sir." "I know who your father is." "So do I." "Warfare is fighting face to face in the battlefield." "Sniping the enemy from a hiding place?" "That's pure chicken shit." "You gotta face your enemy." "up-close and personal?" "kid." "Half the Congo is at war." "It is not our war." "It's time to go home." "You can go if you want." "I'm not finished here." "You're weak." "Your wounds are still healing." "I think I'll stick around." "Do whatever you want." "It doesn't matter to me." "Good night." "On your feet." "What are we doing?" "Quiet." "Take this." "by the perimeter tower." "You see the sentry?" "I see the back of his head." "Good." "Shoot him." "You want me to shoot him?" "He is your target." "Take him out." "Who is he?" "He's leaking information to the rebels." "Now you have your assignment." "Take him out." "I don't even know who this You don't need to know." "What's the distance?" "Two hundred yards." "And how do you know that?" "Through the scope." "He's 10 mils high." "Good." "Switch him off." "sniper?" "You have your assignment." "Shoot." "No." "No?" "I need to know more What do you need to know?" "That man is the fucking enemy." "You put a bullet in his head." "I don't kill indiscriminately." "Correction." "You don't follow orders. because he would shoot that man on command." "Empty." "end of the lesson. and you were separated from the rest of the unit." "Once you determined your men had been killed you chose to retreat to base." "And leave the rest of us to die." "Sergeant!" "sir." "Captain." "do we know who these attackers were?" "It seems like a squad-sized force." "I think it may have been one shooter." "no?" "The medics removed a Russian .30 caliber rifle round from his shoulder." "one in 11.5-inch twist." "Are you sure about the twist?" "It's what it says here." "the rebels use Soviet weapons." "Their 7.62mm sniper rifle uses a one in nine-inch twist." "One in 11.5." "That's one of ours." "Ours?" "The M-24 U.S. Sniping System barrel uses that twist." "Whoever it was used a U.S. sniper rifle chambered for the Russian round." "There are millions of weapons of every caliber in this country." "just one more thing. but it must have been a squad that returned and sanitized the scene." "cleared Van Brunt's house and made it look like looting." "So?" "We'll never know." "Thank you for your report." "That's it? Thanks for the report"?" "we've done all we can do." "Doesn't look like you've done anything." "The Colonel means the UN doesn't have the time or manpower to investigate." "Don't you care about what happened?" "That's beside the point." "The conflict in the DRC is a flashpoint." "The government can topple any day." "We have no idea how this will affect diplomatic relations." "I can look into it on my own." "no." "That's the last thing we need." "We cannot afford you running into the middle" "Sergeant." "you are confined to base." "Captain?" "What do you want?" "I heard your story back there." "Sergeant." "Your men do not respect my men." "We both know this." "But we are African soldiers and you are Marines." "That does not mean you can judge me." "This is my country." "We did not ask for you and people like you to come here." "but I did what I thought was best at the time." "Brandon?" "They told me you were still here." "I was surprised." "They're still trying to contact my aunt." "They told me you might die." "The medics always make it sound worse than it is so they can look like miracle workers when you pull through." "Jonas Brothers." "some of my favorites." "These are code five." "Won't work in Belgium." "Maybe you can trade them." "have you had any more thoughts about who may have wanted to kill your father?" "I already told that woman." "Abramowitz?" "Same as I told you." "I don't know anyone who would." "there was a picture of your father with some soldiers." "It wasn't there when we went back." "You know the one?" "Yes." "Was your father in the army?" "No." "But he would let the soldiers come to our plantation." "He traded with them." "Did he trade with the rebels?" "tribes and the Congolese army." "to keep our home safe." "Sorry." "I'm not used to the Officers' Mess." "It's been a long time since I've seen a tablecloth." "Ma'am." "sir." "The Dover sole is amazing." "You rather have an MRE?" "no." "This is great." "what do you want from me?" "you've asked me to dinner." "Can't just be because you find me attractive." "I think you know more than you're letting on." "You spoke to Kelli." "You know her father traded with the rebels." "Why did they kill him?" "the UN may be moving out of here soon." "Chances are it was more than a rebel attack." "it's just me and four computer operators." "We just don't have the resources." "I know I can track him down." "It would be a suicide mission." "even before you got ambushed." "Let it go." "would you let it go?" "I've seen your records. disciplinary action in each of your two years ofjunior college." "I had a problem being told what to do." "So you joined the Marines?" "I thought it would help me get over that." "Did it?" "I guess not." "Here I am in the principal's office again." "how did you get here?" "Why would you want to know about me?" "you've done your research on me." "Am I not allowed to know something about you?" "if it's too embarrassing" "My father was a sergeant major in the SAS at Hereford." "I grew up on the base." "That must have been fun." "Fun?" "No." "But it was interesting to grow up surrounded by people that had dedicated their lives to something grander than themselves." "Their country." "I followed in his footsteps." "Is that what you wanted to hear?" "Rule number one." "Know your enemy." "Brandon." "It feels that way." "Did I hurt it?" "No." "You didn't do anything." "It wasn't your fault that you survived." "What's important is that you did." "It doesn't feel that way." "Howdy." "Where are you going?" "For a walk." "Into the Congo? you're going to get yourself killed." "I'm a Marine. covered in someone else's blood." "I have no problem going out the same way." "last night was what we called a "stress fire" exercise." "I went through it." "It's just a test." "you can save me." "Not until you get yourself into trouble." "do you mean that this office is expected to believe that you went AWOL to find your squad's assailants?" "sir." "What did you think you were gonna do?" "I needed help." "I knew there was one man who could help me get to the rebels. including the one I was shot with." "I was hoping that's how I'd find the sniper." "Here." "You." "Here." "it's okay." "It's okay." "I just came to bring your gun back." "Why the hell did you come back here?" "I need your help." "he's out there working with the rebels." "I need to find him." "How the hell can I help you?" "I'll help you get your kids back if you take me to the rebels." "I know where they're getting the guns." "son." "Africa is a place more alive than any you've ever been to." "and she'll take care of you." "and your bones will bleach in tomorrow's sun. that first clean bore shot could save your life." "Another patch." "There is a chance that they can kill you before you even get close to your target." "I'll get to my target." "Are you sure about that?" "Soldiers just bull their way into situations." "It's the way they're trained." "But a hunter's got to stalk." "he's gotta use the terrain to his advantage." "It's basic training." "No." "There's more to it than that." "you gotta become one with the land." "huh?" "no." "I never knew him that well." "I became a grunt to spite him." "And what does he think about that?" "I don't know." "The men who attacked my camp." "Criminals led by a man that claims himself the spokesperson of God." "There will be no negotiating." "I wasn't expecting any." "Shit." "Those are your kids." "Yeah." "They're going to take them to the other rebel camps." "I got to get them out of there now." "I'll make my way down there behind them." "Are you up for this?" "Let's do it." "Okay." "Someone's helping us." "There's someone else out there." "No!" "He's on our side." "Who the hell is this?" "this is Richard Miller." "You never told me your rank." "Not important." "How you doing?" "you're a spook?" "Friendly ghost." "okay?" "What are you doing here?" "I'm here to save your life." "but you flew halfway around the world just to give me a ride home." "Right." "You know something." "I know snipers aren't sent to kill squads of men." "They're assigned a specific target." "Your men were collateral damage." "Van Brunt was the primary target." "How do you know all of this?" "I know who the sniper is." "I trained him." "What?" "They call him The Italian." "he's not Russian or Somalian." "and he's an American." "He's a Marine." "We were shot by one of our own." "Why?" "I don't know why." "All I know is that order had to come from pretty high up in the chain of command." "I have to assume they wanted to keep Van Brunt from revealing delicate information." "He was the one supplying U.S. weapons to the rebels." "Then he must have got them from somebody on our side." "That's the kind of something the military would want to keep from the public." "Is that why you're here?" "Are you part of this cover-up?" "we wouldn't be talking." "You'd be dead." "I'm not here on anyone's orders." "I decided to get my ass down here and bring him back before he got killed." "Why do you care?" "I care because I knew your father." "He was my friend." "He was my teacher." "He taught me how to be a sniper." "And he saved my life." "I'm not going back until I'm done here." "Does that include your funeral?" "Because you will never see Masiello coming." "Then I need to make him come to me." "Hello?" "Ellen." "Brandon?" "Where the hell are you?" "I know who killed our men." "I need protection." "You have to send a team to come pick me up." "You know I don't have the authority to do that." "I'll be right on the border." "An abandoned village east of Van Brunt's plantation named Uhuru." "Okay." "I'll see what I can do." "Thanks." "You can trust her?" "I don't have to." "it won't be legit UN force that'll show up." "coming to kill me." "I found him." "it's a town on the Zimbala-DRC border. 1300 today." "I cannot risk any more of the men in my command." "Beckett says he has evidence of the soldiers who ambushed his men." "It takes too long to get permission from whoever passes for today's provisional government." "We won't need a full-scale operation." "I could get him myself." "You'll need a security detail." "I want four of your best men to escort her." "Get in there and get out as fast as you can." "Colonel." "sir." "then I'll come back and help you." "my friend." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "Where will you go?" "Out of the Congo." "Zambia." "Maybe Namibia." "It's good hunting there." "At least they'll be safe." "Thank you." "This is going to get hairy." "I'm ready." "Masiello." "Drive." "He's not coming alone." "You're gonna have to engage the primary attack house to house." "Pick your spots." "Is the com working?" "Loud and clear." "Good." "And one more thing." "Here." "It's an LAR Grizzly Mark I." "I didn't know we had an artillery piece." "A little souvenir your father gave me." "it's been chafing my ass." "I don't know what to say." "Let the weapon do the talking." "Where are you gonna be?" "I'm going high." "A high hide's never a good idea." "Who taught you that?" "Same person who taught you." "we're doing the ambush." "I still don't know why you're staying in this." "I told you." "I trained Masiello." "I didn't train him to kill Americans." "What about when you get back to Pendleton?" "You're gonna answer for this." "Are you kidding?" "We're not gonna live through this." "Lovely view." "Totally exposed." "Vehicle coming." "Look alive." "until I make contact with him." "Lieutenant." "Beckett?" "Beckett!" "Quiet." "What the fuck are you doing?" "What are you doing here?" "I came to bring you back." "Are you crazy?" "Beckett?" "Yes?" "Who is that young lady looking for?" "Me." "Shame." "What is this?" "but you weren't supposed to be here." "Ambush?" "Tell me exactly what's going on here." "We got company." "Rebels?" "No." "cute red hats." "Doubt they're legit." "they're taking position around the perimeter." "I brought soldiers from the base." "To bring me back." "It's them." "It's a hit squad." "They didn't come with me." "Why are they shooting at us?" "They're not here to bring me back." "They're here to kill us both." "Beckett!" "Give yourself up." "We have no choice." "if we live." "no?" "No!" "They're still stacking up!" "I see you." "huh?" "Are you all right?" "Are you kidding?" "Lieutenant." "Ellen." "We're ready to move." "What's the plan?" "big guy." "you go straight that way." "Okay." "Make that a dozen." "Baker's dozen." "Be careful." "See you back at the base." "go!" "Chasing down Ngoba?" "Yes." "kid." "I am not fighting you." "You took us out to that ambush." "I am a soldier." "I was following orders." "Where is he?" "Masiello!" "I don't know." "Who's behind this?" "He'll kill me." "I'll kill you!" "Who?" "I have no proof." "JÃ¤ger?" "Colonel JÃ¤ger?" "He was using Van Brunt to funnel American weapons to the rebels." "You knew this?" "Why didn't you report him?" "Who would have believed me?" "You?" "Would you have believed me?" "My men were killed." "Yours and mine!" "And we are next." "Miller?" "do you read me?" "baby Beckett." "Masiello." "That saves introductions." "I missed you." "I'm gonna correct that mistake." "baby Beckett?" "Beckett." "Son of the great Thomas Beckett." "huh?" "Your father wouldn't have missed." "Let's see how you handle night vision." "What are you dragging this out for?" "that wasn't even close." "thanks to you." "Won't miss next time." "I caught up with Lieutenant Abramowitz by midday." "Miller had disappeared." "It took most of the next day for us to get back to the base who arranged to bring me back here." "you said you believed a coalition officer was conspiring with the rebels." "Yes." "And you identified that officer?" "Yes." "do you have any evidence to corroborate your accusation?" "No." "I have no choice but to proceed with the court-martial." "What about our men lying in an unmarked grave in Africa?" "What are you gonna do about that?" "The U.S. military can do nothing officially." "regulations to follow." "you don't." "Peter?" "Hans?" "I think it's broken." "Colonel." "You killed them?" "I don't kill indiscriminately." "I'm not you." "You must be good." "You survived The Italian." "Twice." "He was good." "I was better." "right?" "You're here to kill me?" "You had my men killed." "Ngoba told you that?" "Yes." "he's dead." "Think he would have testified?" "You're in this picture." "Van Brunt had the same one in his house." "weren't you?" "He helped you sell weapons to our enemies." "We sold weapons to both sides." "Congolese government and the rebels." "Why?" "We didn't know who was going to win." "We need leverage with whoever is going to run the country." "Is that right?" "Sergeant." "It's called politics." "Then why kill Van Brunt?" "Want me to be honest?" "Because he knew too much." "He was the only one who could connect us to the rebels." "And my men?" "I'm sorry if your personal loss is more important to you than the bigger picture of the war. they will not be hostile to working with us." "That's supposed to make it worth it?" "I didn't create the situation." "But a scandal will not help us win a global war." "You've played the game for so long you forget what we fight for." "You know who my father was? who did his job even when betrayed by cowards and politicians like you." "so kill me." "Think that will change anything? there will be a necessity for things most people don't have the stomach for." "Did you get all that?" "Even the sanctimonious part. you are under arrest." "Brandon Beckett?" "Special Operations Commander." "Major." "I know." "That's why we want to talk to you." "kid."
