"Sniper in the minaret!" "Man down!" "Corpsman!" "Corpsman's coming, sir." "Stay with us." "Hang tight." "You're going to be all right." "Oh, my God." "Smith, Smith, you and Quick get topside." "Secure that minaret." "Yes, sir!" "Yes, sir!" "All right, I want the rest of you to clear every square inch of this building." "Let's make it happen!" "Let's go." "Let's go!" "Fire in the hole!" "Shooter!" "Is he here?" "He's always here, sir." "Wait!" "You can't go in there looking like a wild man." "There you are, sir." "Thanks, babe." "It's not "babe. "" "It's Coates or Petty Officer Coates." "I'm sorry." "My friends call me Jen." "My friends call me Vic." "Enter." "Sorry I'm late, General." "I, uh..." "No excuses." "At ease." "Yesterday, during combat ops in Karbala, a marine allegedly shot an unarmed civilian who had taken refuge in the Martyr's Mosque." "I saw the incident, sir." "ZNN must have played the tape 20 times." "There's no way that marine's going to get a fair break." "Wrong." "You're going to go to Iraq and see that he does." "General Hugh Cardworthy preferred charges of unpremeditated murder." "One of his JAGs will prosecute." "You'll defend." "No worries, sir." ""No worries. "" "Where did that awful expression come from?" ""All life is suffering. "" "Buddha." "You familiar with Brad Holliman?" "That's him, right?" "He shot the videotape." "He's the only eyewitness." "He's also the prosecution's star on the stand, and he's covering the trial." "That's got to be some kind of conflict of interest, General." "It's ZNN, Lieutenant." "There are no rules." "Doc, any news?" "I need to speak to the father." "Look, no one's seen him for days." "I need to know what you know." "On a bender?" "Right." "Look, I've examined Mattie again, taken another look at the MRI, and there's been some change." "Is there hope?" "Perhaps... if she regains consciousness, if she can breathe on her own, if feeling returns, if she spends several months in physical therapy..." "That's a lot of ifs, Doc." "Well, it's a hell of a lot better than "No way," Commander." "Well, wh-when will we know?" "Today, next week, two months from now." "The human body has a logic of its own, Commander." "If you'll excuse me." "I've ordered my marines to cooperate completely with your investigation and your defense." "Colonel Bootney will preside." "Is there a problem?" "No, sir, I'm just a little surprised, that's all." "He recently presided over a case of mine in San Diego." "Lieutenant, most of the men here were recently somewhere else." "I understand, General." "Major Atkins will be opposing counsel." "He's a pit bull." "That's not a surprise." "He's a marine." "More than that." "He was a tank commander in the first Gulf War." "Turned to lawyering after he lost a few body parts in the Battle for Medina Ridge." "Sir, are you concerned that I'm navy?" "You are aware... that marines aren't like other people." "I've had my experiences with marines, sir." "My CO is a marine." "I've argued my last two cases with a marine." "You win or lose?" "I won the first with her as cocounsel, and I beat her in the second as defense." "To understand what happened that night of the shooting at the Martyr's Mosque, you have to know what it's like to be a marine, Lieutenant." "What our training is, how we work, why we do what we do." "I'll make sure I cover that ground with diligence, sir." "Some reporters don't belong within a hundred miles of the front lines." "TV news is the truth on speed." "Who said that?" "I believe I just did, sir." "Do you know Brad Holliman personally, General?" "I was interviewed by him twice." "He asked good questions." "But...?" "It comes down to context again, Lieutenant." "Mr. Holliman used my words against me." "Maybe it should be part of marine basic." "Go through a house full of CS without a gas mask, a 20-mile forced march with a 90-pound pack and a 20-minute talk with a reporter." "All the hard stuff." "Good morning, Jen." "Good morning, ma'am." "How was San Diego?" "Okay, I guess, if you like fresh air and, you know, bright sunshine and Dungeness crab right out of the ocean." "Did Vic behave himself?" "Vic?" "Lieutenant Vukovic." "He told me to call him Vic." "I think he's kind of cute." "The lieutenant clearly shares your good opinion of himself." "I know he's not your type." "No, not at all." "Is the general in?" "Yes, ma'am." "He's expecting you." "Enter." "Colonel, please sit down." "I, uh, have a favor to ask of you." "Anything, sir." "Well, after you hear what I have to say, you may not think so." "I have a problem at home." "No, uh, my wife has not run off with the pool boy." "In fact, I don't have a pool." "Uh, my daughter." "Cammie." "What's the problem, sir?" "You have plans this evening?" "Um, going over paperwork, General." "Why don't you swing by my house 2000." "Uh, you can talk to Dora and me." "Aye, aye, sir." "That-that's not an order, Mac." "I'll be there, sir." "Thank you." "That'll be all." "Oh, uh... any word from Commander Rabb?" "No, sir." "I've tried to reach him several times, but I keep getting voice mail." "I understand this young girl's like a daughter to him." "Tell him to take all the time he needs." "Sir." "I want you to start at the beginning." "Don't leave out anything." "I know what I was thinking at the time, sir, but that videotape says otherwise." "I want you to forget about the tape for now." "How can I do that, sir, when about two billion people have seen it?" "Because you're a marine." "That's how." "Now, what was your mission that day?" "There were six of us in the fire team, sir." "We were working our way street by street through Karbala." "We'd been taking fire from a minaret of a mosque." "The Martyr's Mosque?" "Yes, sir." "Corporal Serkin got hit." "Me and Private Quick pulled him behind a wall to cover." "He died before the corpsman even got to him." "And did that make you angry?" "Not at the time, sir." "All I wanted to do was get inside that mosque and take out the shooter before he killed another marine." "The anger came later." "And was the ZNN cameraman with you at that time?" "Right with us, sir." "Those ZNN boys take the same chances we do." "Okay, and what about the reporter, um, Holliman?" "Mr. Holliman stayed with Corporal Serkin." "He held his hand when he died." "Did he have a camera on?" "No, sir." "Brad- uh, Mr. Holliman- he's not that kind of guy." "He was embedded with us for a month." "I didn't trust him much at first, but he did a lot of great stuff for us." "Like what?" "He let us use his sat phone to call our folks." "He sent our letters back with his dispatches." "All right, let's get back to the day of the battle." "What happened next?" "We fought our way into the mosque." "Going in there really bothered me, sir." "Why?" "You thought you were desecrating a holy place?" "Holy place?" "That stopped being a holy place as soon as they started to store ammo there." "They were killing people by shooting out the windows." "They had snipers up on that minaret." "What bothered me was that these Iraqi insurgents had turned a house of God into a killing ground." "How did you go about securing the mosque?" "We killed three of them downstairs." "We checked for improvised explosive devices, then we started up the stairs." "And was the ZNN team with you at the time?" "Yes, sir." "The cameraman went up ahead of us." "Without your knowledge or consent?" "Yes, sir." "He was going for the story." "His body just came flying backwards." "Half of his face was blown off." "And was, uh, Brad Holliman still downstairs with you when this happened?" "Yes, sir." "He'd taken cover." "What happened next?" "Private Quick and I went up the stairs." "Quick tossed a grenade into the room, and then we went in." "What did you see?" "The sniper was pretty much blown apart." "There were two other men in the room." "And they were wounded." "Yes, sir." "One raised his weapon to fire." "Quick dropped him." "But that's wasn't on the ZNN film." "No, sir." "Mr. Holliman had come up with us." "Private Quick had already fired." "And that's when you shot the second guy?" "Yes, sir." "He was hit." "He was bleeding from a leg wound, but he was conscious." "I had no way of knowing that he wasn't armed." "I mean, these guys- they surrender... but then they're booby-trapped." "And bang, you're dead." "So, I fired to protect myself... my team." "And I turned around, and I realized that Mr. Holliman had gotten it all on tape." "Brad Holliman?" "You bring bourbon?" "I wish I'd thought of it." "Why the hell do I want to talk to you?" "Because I'm the lawyer defending" "Private First Class Hoke Smith." "You know, the kid whose life you're ruining." "That's not my intention." "He's a nice kid." "I'm just a news guy, Lieutenant." "Go where the story leads me, show what I find." "The clowns at your network are ripping this kid apart." "That's nothing to do with me." "You supplied the film and the details." "I did." "Hoke Smith had a bad day." "What he did got caught on tape." "Now he's got his ass in a wringer." "The kid's 19, Holliman." "He's looking to grow old at Leavenworth." "He's collateral damage, Lieutenant, a casualty of war." "It sucks." "That's life." "Nassar?" "Yes, sir." "All right, get us hooked up to this live cam." "I want you to know this was my idea." "Biff was afraid to ask you." "I wouldn't exactly say "afraid. "" "Well, my guess is he..." "uh, led you to believe that our daughter was pregnant, which she is not." "Cammie has told us that she wants to drop out of the Naval Academy." "She told you, Dora." "I'm always the last to know." "I'm surprised at her decision." "Imagine how we felt." "Yeah, the general gave me the impression that she loved Annapolis." "She's having second thoughts." "Our daughter is increasingly under the impression that her gender will hold her back in the navy." "Well, she won't serve on a submarine." "Or be a SEAL." "But there are plenty of other opportunities, and women in the military are breaking new ground every year." "I mean, she can rise as high as her abilities will take her." "I agree." "But you need to tell her that." "Excuse me?" "That's the favor, Mac." "Talk to Cammie." "Let her know how much things have changed and will continue to change for women in the service." "Well, I-I can do that, sir, but, uh, what makes you think she'll listen to me?" "I do." "Voluntary manslaughter, two years confinement and bad conduct discharge." "Unpremeditated murder, 20 years, dishonorable discharge." "30 months." "The man killed an unarmed civilian." "Is that it?" "Or is it that the shooting was caught on tape and shown around the world?" "I would never sacrifice a marine for the sake of public relations." "But even PFC Smith believes he's guilty." "He doesn't know what to believe right now, sir." "All he knows is the entire world thinks he's a cold-blooded killer." "Well, plead the kid out." "You know, maybe the members will cut him a break." "With good behavior, he'll be out by the time he's 35." "No deal." "We go to court-martial." "Hard to come up with a defense." "I'm working on it." "PFC Smith is a marine." "He has the best combat training in the world." "He was in the middle of a firefight." "And?" "I don't know yet;" "I just..." "I got a feeling there's more to the story." "You're going to need more than a feeling." "I trust my instincts." "You right more often than you're wrong, Lieutenant?" "So far, so good." "When you were going through OCS, you think about going in the Marine Corps?" "I didn't know if I was tough enough." "Maybe one day you'll find out." "How long were you embedded with the First Marine Division?" "36 days." "How many dispatches did you file during that time?" "Thirty-four." "Describe what happened on the afternoon of March 28." "That was the first day of the battle of Karbala." "My cameraman and I were following Delta Company, Third Platoon." "Private First Class Smith was a member of Third Squad, Second Fire Team." "Yes, Major." "He was a rifleman." "Fire Team Bravo fought its way into the Martyr's Mosque." "Amir and I went with them." "Amir Ubadah was your cameraman?" "Right." "We first worked together in Afghanistan, then Iraq." "He was killed that day?" "After we went into the mosque, he wanted a picture from the minaret." "Went up the stairs, took a gunshot to the face, came tumbling back down." "You picked up the camera?" "I did." "Then, what happened?" "I followed two marines as they cleared the minaret." "Did you observe Private First Class Smith during that time?" "I did." "Did you videotape him?" "I did." "Your Honor," "I'd like to publish the videotape to the members." "I'll allow it." "Can you describe the events that we're witnessing?" "It would appear that the man is begging for his life." "Objection, Your Honor." "The witness is expressing an opinion." "I'll allow it." "Please tell us what happened next." "Uh, Hoke..." "Hoke." "Private First Class Smith, yes?" "Yes." "He shot the man." "Was the man unarmed?" "Yes." "Did he pose a threat?" "Objection, Your Honor." "The witness is a reporter, not a trained marine." "This reporter has been in-country long enough to know, Your Honor." "Overruled." "You can answer the question." "In my estimation, no, the civilian did not pose a threat." "Thank you, Mr. Holliman." "No further questions." "Your witness, Lieutenant." "Mr. Holliman, have you ever served in the armed forces?" "No." "So, you have no military training." "You have no idea how war is fought." "Objection." "Counsel is testifying." "Sustained." "Were you with Delta Company the day before the incident at Martyr's Mosque?" "I was." "Did you witness the death of Private Brian David?" "Unfortunately." "How did he die?" "A wounded insurgent was booby-trapped." "When Private David went to check on the man's condition, the insurgent triggered the IED." "Did Private David die right away?" "He did not." "Was he still conscious?" "Yes." "Was he screaming for his mother and his god to save him?" "Yes." "Did the other members of Delta Company witness his death?" "Yes." "Can we see the videotape of Private David's death?" "There's no tape." "Why not?" "Because we didn't make one." "The people back home don't want to see their sons dying." "So, you do select what people see and what they don't." "Was Private First Class Smith himself wounded on that day?" "Yes." "Did he refuse medical evacuation so he could stay with his fire team?" "Yes." "Your Honor, no further questions at this time." "I reserve the right to recall the witness." "Hey, sorry to come uninvited, but I needed to find out how you were." "I'm hanging in." "How is she?" "It's too soon to tell." "I wanted to be here, you know, if..." "I mean, when she, uh, wakes up." "Well, the General said to take as much time as you need." "Harm, why haven't you returned any of my calls since I got back from San Diego?" "'Cause you were going to ask me questions" "I can't answer, Mac, tell me things I didn't want to hear." "That's what friends are for." "Well, this is my problem." "You look exhausted." "Somebody needs to be here with her." "What about Tom?" "How long?" "I haven't seen him for three days." "I keep hoping he's going to sober up and come back." "Well, that may never happen." "Have you notified Social Services?" "I wanted to be sure first." "Harm, you're an officer of the court." "This isn't a judgment call." "You have no option." "They'll take her away from him, Mac, make her a ward of the state." "Not if you petition for custody again." "She needs more than a revolving door." "Is there anything I can do?" "You perform miracles?" "Why don't you go get some rest, let me be with her for a while, okay?" "Don't, don't, Mac." "Let me know when you need me." "Lieutenant Vukovic, call your first witness." "Thank you, Your Honor." "Defense calls Captain Ellis." "You're in command of Delta Company?" "I am." "Were your troops involved in the battle for Karbala?" "Yes." "Your men performed with great bravery, sir." "You should be very proud." "Thank you." "How many men did you lose?" "Seven dead." "19 wounded." "How many enemy casualties were there?" "We counted 22 insurgents killed." "Offhand, do you know how many mosques there are in the city of Karbala?" "Over 100." "Are any of these mosques used to store weapons?" "Yes." "Many." "As cover?" "Yes." "Do you consider a mosque that has 100 RPG and IEDs and has enemy combatants firing from its minarets a place of worship?" "Objection." "Goes to state of mind, Your Honor." "I'll allow it." "You may answer the question." "No." "I consider it a legitimate target." "So, this killing ground..." "Objection." "Editorializing." "Sustained." "Do your rules of engagement allow you to attack such a target?" "Yes." "Consider the men inside enemy combatants?" "Yes." "Can you please tell us what happened after Mr. Ubadah, the ZNN cameraman, was shot?" "I sent Smith and Quick up the stairs after the sniper." "Did you see what happened next?" "No." "I was busy clearing the rest of the building." "What did Private First Class Smith tell you happened?" "That Private Quick neutralized the enemy combatant who had shot Mr. Ubadah." "Then, Smith himself fired on the second insurgent." "And that was the incident that was caught on videotape?" "Correct." "So, Private First Class Smith had reason to believe the man that he shot posed a threat?" "Objection." "Calls for speculation." "The captain's not a mind-reader." "Sustained." "Rephrase, Lieutenant." "PFC Smith had reason to believe the insurgent he shot was armed?" "That's correct, Lieutenant." "Or he might be booby-trapped?" "Yes." "We had..." "lost a man in that fashion the day before." "So, in your opinion, was the shooting justified?" "Yes." "We don't have the luxury of casual deliberation in combat, especially when men are getting blown up and faces shot off all around you." "Thank you, Captain." "No further questions." "Major, your witness." "When the civilian's body was checked after the shooting stopped, was he armed?" "No." "Was the body booby-trapped?" "Upon subsequent examination, no." "And he was trying to surrender?" "Hand out in supplication?" "I don't know that for a fact, Major." "But you have eyes, Captain." "You saw the videotape." "It's an unarmed civilian pleading for his life." "Objection." "Argumentative." "Sustained." "No further questions." "...just outside their barracks." "As rescue personnel reach the scene..." "Good evening, sir." "Lieutenant." "Well, I heard you were tough, but I, uh..." "You ready to throw in the towel?" "Fighting the impulse, Major." "In the blink of an eye..." "Major?" "Battle at Medina Ridge." "You'd see a tank two miles out coming towards you in a cloud of dust." "Friend or foe?" "You had to decide or die." "Did you, sir?" "Make the right decision?" "I made the right decision too late." "Cost me a foot." "What made you hesitate?" "To this day, I don't know." "I was the only one in my crew seriously hurt." "For that, I thank God." "But that's not what I came to tell you." "Many times, the decisions we make in the blink of an eye are the right ones." "Deal's still on the table." "But you don't think I should take it?" "I never said that." "There are professional ethics involved." "Thank you for coming, Colonel." "Oh, it's just nice to be out of the cold." "Cammie has a bunch of questions for you." "Mom." "Isn't there something you're supposed to do?" "Uh, yes, and this is it." "I can't talk in front of you." "Since when?" "Since now." "Please, Mom." "Give me some privacy." "Well, then, let me take your coat, Colonel." "Thank you." "Sure." "I suck for doing that, huh?" "What did you want to know?" "Do they treat you fairly?" "Who are they?" "Did you ever get passed over?" "When I deserved it." "Do you ever get treated worse than a man, or get the short end of things because you're not one?" "I don't let that happen." "How did you get to be who you are?" "By making a million mistakes, and having to start over, and being smarter, and trying harder the next time." "That's it?" "Yeah." "There's no magic- it's just hard work." "Now it's my turn to ask a few questions." "What set this off?" "Nothing." "Hmm." "I've told you my secrets, so out with it." "I..." "I got a grade in fundamentals of naval science" "I didn't think was fair." "Based on what?" "Well, this dumb guy in my class did better." "So, what else?" "In high school, I was the smartest girl in my class." "Now I'm no smarter than about 8,000 other plebes." "You afraid your father might be disappointed in you?" "Yeah." "And my mom." "Hmm." "Pretty normal stuff." "What else?" "Well, I met this guy." "Mike Roberts?" "Commander Roberts mentioned something about a paintball game." "Yeah, he's such a jerk." "I mean, he really ticks me off." "You got it bad, huh?" "My mom met my dad when she was 18." "And that was it for her." "She knew three seconds into it- before she had even kissed him- that she'd marry him." "Some people would consider that good fortune." "You ever loved anyone like that?" "No." "Well, I don't want to." "It'll just get in the way." "Well, when you're older, you might feel a little different." "If you see him, give me a call, huh?" "You got it." "We need to talk." "She dead?" "No." "Then, why are you bothering me?" "You have got to pull yourself together, Tom." "Why?" "Because there's still hope." "You're lying." "Either way, there are decisions to be made." "Then, why don't you just make them?" "Because I'm not her legal guardian." "Well, you will be soon." "You're going to report me to Social Services." "What choice do I have?" "Well, I've made mine." "I got one more where that one came from." "Give me the keys, Tom." "No, I'm fine." "I'm fine!" "I said leave me alone!" "All clear, Lieutenant." "Sir, you are familiar with the tactics of the enemy?" "I am." "Is it customary for a sniper to use a spotter?" "It is." "Someone to spot, to load and to provide protection." "Is it possible that the man who PFC Smith shot was, in fact, a spotter?" "It would make sense." "That could be an explanation why the man who PFC Smith killed was unarmed, correct?" "Objection." "Calls for speculation." "Overruled." "Yes." "He would've had no need of a weapon until we entered the mosque." "In your professional opinion, Captain, is the spotter as much of a threat to our forces as the sniper who pulls the trigger?" "Absolutely." "The spotter's job is to help kill as many of the enemy as he can." "Your Honor, I would like to offer defense exhibit A, a videotape that was shot earlier this morning in the minaret of the Martyr's Mosque." "Shot by whom?" "By me, Your Honor." "Major Atkins?" "No objection, Your Honor." "I was present at the time the videotape was made." "Roll tape, please." "This suicide vest was located within arm's reach of the insurgent's initial position." "He was almost on top of it when PFC Smith shot him." "One tug of the pull cord, and the entire mosque would have come down." "This man was not pleading for his life." "He was reaching for a weapon." "Good morning." "Ah, good morning, sir." "Anything I can do for you, General?" "No." "Yeah." "Only if..." "Yes, sir." "I spoke with Cammie last night." "And no, you won't tell me what you talked about." "I promised her complete and absolute confidentiality, General." "I could order you to tell." "Hell would freeze over first, General." "I will say one thing, however." "Your daughter is beautiful and smart..." "And strong-willed." "In that, she reminds me of her father." "She'll go her own way, and she'll be her own person." "And that's what you want." "Or should." "Have you been conspiring with my wife?" "No, sir." "She said the same thing to me last night." "Well, then, maybe you should give it some consideration, General." "I have less trouble with the 2,000 people who serve under me than I do with one daughter." "Get used to it." "Sir." "Will the president of the court please publish the findings?" "Private First Class Hoke Smith, United States Marine Corps, on the charge and specification of unpremeditated murder, this court-martial finds you not guilty." "I'd like to thank the members." "This court's adjourned." "What happens now, sir?" "You return to your unit." "You would've been safer in the brig." "Thank you, sir." "Good job." "General." "Congratulations, Lieutenant." "Thank you, General." "Your new orders." "Courtesy of General Cresswell, you're T.A.D. to my command." "At 1900, you're to accompany the First Marine Division back to Karbala." "But, sir, I..." "JAG on the spot." "You'll provide R.O.E. advice in a field environment." "You're with us, sir." "Looking right up the backside of trouble." "I'm sorry." "For what?" "Oh." "Are you trying to make me feel worse?" "Colonel MacKenzie's pretty cool." "You know, she told me some stuff." "Did you know that she was an expert marksman?" "No, but she is a marine." "I'm not surprised." "And that she mediated a hostage crisis in Indonesia?" "Impressive." "She made a good argument for staying at the academy." "I mean, it's a first-rate education, it's free..." "Unless you drop out, and then we're looking at college tuition." "No pressure there." "I wouldn't be a parent if I didn't apply a little pressure." "She made a good case." "I'll try the navy." "That's all your dad and I ever asked of you, sweetie." "I know how important you are to Dad's career." "He couldn't do it without you." "Maybe it's not a glamour job, but I love having you as my mother." "And if you tell anyone, I will kill you." "Not even your dad?" "Especially not Dad." "He'll get all mushy anyway." "Yeah, I know." "I love when marines cry." "Godspeed, gentlemen." "Thank you, sir." "This your idea, Major?" "I thought maybe you'd like to see some combat up close." "As part of my continuing education?" "One way of putting it." "I got your guy off the hook." "My guy?" "I was trying to put him in prison." "When you got shot up, sir, did they happen to hit you in the heart?" "Never had one." "Good luck, Vic." "Ever been in combat?" "I've shot at a couple people, but, uh, this is, uh, old-school." "Yeah, you got your flak and Kevlar." "Keep that helmet buckled at all times." "But I don't want you that close to danger." "Yeah." "I feel real safe here." "What the hell are you doing?" "Just filed my story on Hoke Smith." "Ate a little crow, but what an ending, though, huh?" "Yeah, you haven't caused enough trouble yet, have you?" "Look, pal, what we have here is a win-win situation." "I get a great story, you get good press." "Why don't you tell that to PFC Smith?" "I just interviewed Hoke live on air." "Bottom line, the system worked." "Nassar?" "Here you are." "Come on, Vic, give me five minutes, and I'll make you a household name." "It's not Vic." "It's Lieutenant Vukovic, and screw you." "Mr. Holliman is embedded with this unit by order of our battalion commander." "We are to give him every courtesy." "I'm in a different chain of command." "You're T.A.D." "to the First Marine Division and attached to my company, which makes you subject to my orders." "Who's the lawyer here?" "You." "Speaking of which, you read the R.O.E.?" "Got any advice?" "Yeah, don't get shot." "Mmm." "You're a good lawyer." "My guess is you'll make a lousy soldier." "Soldier?" "I'm not in the damn army." "I'm a lieutenant in the United States Navy." "You're a long way from the ocean, son." "How are you doing, Hoke?" "Scared, sir." "Why do I find that comforting?" "Hey, my mom said thanks." "What, Holliman let you use his phone?" "Yes, sir." "You might want to keep your distance." "Last time, it almost cost you 30 years." "Hey, why worry?" "I got you." "Want to talk about scared to death, Smith?" "I didn't know how I was going to defend you." "I didn't sleep for a week." "I just got lucky." "You went with your instincts, sir." "Yeah." "Blink, blink." "Let's move out." "With all due respect, Lieutenant, keep everyone back here." "You don't have to tell me twice, Captain." "Hey." "Captain!" "Get down!" "All right, let's go." "Secure the area." "Quick, blow that hatch." "Yeah, I said the hatch, not the whole damn building." "Sorry, sir." "Smith, Quick, go." "You okay?" "It's nothing." "Next time, kill him." "Shh!" "Ortiz, with me." "You don't hear so good." "Captain?" "All right, we've got some more activity in the back." "Clear!" "I've been hit." "You saved my life, Hoke." "Come on, let's get you out of here, man." "Come on, Hoke." "You're going to be all right." "Get down these stairs." "Nassar, over here." "Let's get this." "Ah." "Shut that thing off!" "Down!" "Those were righteous kills, Lieutenant." "We got them all on film." "You stupid fool." "I was going to make you a hero." "I want him brought up on charges." "I think you'd better get back to company area, Mr. Holliman." "Ah, come on." "You can't do that." "This is great stuff." "You put my marines' lives at risk by exposing their position." "You violated the ground rules we agreed upon." "I thought you were my friend." "I don't have friends." "I have fellow marines." "You okay, Hoke?" "I'm all right, sir."

"You saved mine."
