The church? It's always been here.
Do you want us to destroy it?
What about the priest?
The Greek?
He was always here... like the building.
He is a priest and a friend... we cannot hurt him.
I don't trust this Christian.
Hey, Marine heroes.
Your friend.
He made the news.
They killed him.
They killed Tom.
BEIRUT AIRPORT MONDAY, JULY 22ND - 10:00AM
How have they been treating you, Captain?
Quite well. They're feeding us. They're letting us use the rest rooms.
I suppose they're treating us quite well.
(reporter) Where are the others? The Jews? It's true about the selection?
Go back!
One more question!
If you try to be clever with me, Captain, I will kill you.
- That'd make you a real hero, wouldn't it? - Yes.
Yes.
Now you go back to the press, but you watch what you say, huh?
Now, ask your questions, please...
...one at a time.
Mister, your luggage, please...
...and the cameras too.
Passport, please.
- Canadian? - Yes, CBC-TV, Canada.
All the world's television is here today.
(buzzer)
Belt.
Excuse me.
And that's it.
It's OK, it's OK.
Have a good time in Lebanon.
Thank you.
Where'd you get the stupid belt?
You gave it to me for my birthday.
I did? I hope you like it.
So you're Canadian.
You're blessed with a beautiful and peaceful country.
I'd like to go there myself one day.
Well, it's beautiful country here. It's a shame.
- Do you know where we need to go? - Yes, my son. We're on our way.
You'll need these.
If you look down to your right, you'll see the main sewer pipe.
It leads directly to the backyard of the school.
That is where most of the hostages are.
(distant voices)
Their headquarters. The Jews are there. Do you want to come with me?
No. Go and do what you have to do.
Under the seat you'll find something you might need... just in case.
Don't take too long.
Boss, aren't we trusting this guy a bit too much?
The Israelis say he's the best man they have in Lebanon.
And we need someone to get the message back to Nick.
(chanting in Greek)
(chanting continues)
Father.
Yes, my son. God will forgive you.
Come.
Boss. Boss, look.
We'd better get outta here.
Wait.
Stay there.
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go!
Jesus Christ, what do we do now?
Aaghh!
Get them... get them!
Get the hell outta here!
Shit!
- You OK, Butch? - Yeah, I'm OK, boss.
Shit, that was a close one, huh?
(Nick) It's already 4:15.
(speaking in Hebrew)
We had him on the radio. He started to say something. Then we lost him.
Well, I can't wait any longer.
- This is Mr Samir, your guide in Beirut. - Oh, good.
We gotta get moving. Otherwise we'll miss that rendezvous.
ISRAEL, HAIFA NAVAL BASE MONDAY, JULY 22ND - 4:15PM
(Nick) Uh, Raffi... I just wanna thank you for all your help on this.
- I wish I could join you. - Well, you boys have done it before.
- Now it's our turn. - Good luck.
(Nick) All right, check your gear, boys.
All the vehicles, weaponry, personal.
Let's go.
Aw, Jesus, boss. She's had it. We need another vehicle here.
We've got one.
Here are some blankets for the night.
How about some beds?
You don't need beds. You're gonna die tomorrow.
Scott, that must be them.
About a mile offshore, I'd say.
- You OK? - Yeah. You?
- Good to be on dry land. How we doin'? - We have three targets.
A school in north Beirut beach. 60 hostages are there.
- Do you know where that is? - By the Greek Orthodox cemetery?
Yeah, right.
The Jews are being held in a dungeon at their headquarters in the centre of town.
And the ATW crew is still being held on the plane.
- We'll have to get them last. - Right. And I drew a map here.
All right, everybody! Get your badges on! We move out in two minutes!
Let's go right, partner!
Abdul, get up.
What is it?
- They are here. - Who?
The Americans.
Americans?
Get up... all of you. Quickly!
You are all coming with me.
Abdul...
Get the hostages out of here.
OK.
- God be with us. - God be praised.
Come on, let's move out. Quickly! Move your ass!
That's the place.
Good luck.
Is everything all right?
All right.
Did they eat?
They ate and went to sleep.
Why do you look at me like that?
You hate me, huh?
It's your government we fight, not you.
It's your White House.
One day I will go there.
I will drive a truck...
...and truck, it will blow.
No, that'll be suicide. You know that.
I know how to die.
The White House is very big. You'll need a lot of explosives.
You'll never get near the place. Don't kid yourself.
Do you think we don't have friends in America?
You will be surprised.
One day... One day.
Delta Two in position.
- (Bobby) Ready, boss? - Let's do it.
(speaking in Arabic)
(scraping)
Did you hear anything?
No. Only my dice.
(coughing)
(whispers) Cover us.
One minute to showtime.
Get ready.
OK, 30 seconds to blastoff.
Come on, McCoy.
(click)
Sleep tight, sucker.
- Backyard, Bobby! Nick's got the truck! - Right, boss!
Gentlemen, let's go! Segal, take the rear!
Move! Move!
Come on! Move, move, move!
Stop him!
School calling headquarters!
This is the commander. Don't shout.
What is it?
The Americans are here!
All hell broke loose!
Who are they?
The Americans!
Thousands of them with jeeps and tanks, killing us!
Where is Mustafa... and your officers?
Where are the hostages?
You must kill all the Americans.
The Americans are killing all of us!
I'll be there in five minutes with reinforcements.
We can't wait... we can't wait!
Hey.
Aagh!
Salim. Salim... can you hear me?
Salim, what's going on there?
Salim!
American?
American, do you hear me? I want to talk to you.
American? I want to negotiate.
Do you hear me, American?
Loud and clear.
Hurry up.
Come on, hurry!
(gunfire)
Get back!
My leg! My leg!
All right, here I come. Hold on to me.
- Hold on. I got you. - (man cries out in pain)
- Let me help. I'm a medical student. - Cut his pants. I'll help his circulation.
McCoy! What are you doing up there? Drop that and get down here quick!
What do you want me to do? Jump?
I don't care what you do. Make it fast.
(gunfire)
Aarghh!
- Fast enough? - Where are the hostages?
They must be delayed in the shelter. Bobby's with them.
(Bobby) This'll do till we get you to a hospital.
Not a local hospital, I hope!
(groans)
Hey, am I gonna lose the leg?
Don't worry. You'll be jogging by next week. Let's go.
- Let me carry him. You've enough to do. - Thanks. Gentlemen, follow me quickly.
- Hurry. Reinforcements on the way. - How do you know?
- Something I heard on the radio. - I didn't know you spoke Arabic.
If we don't get outta here, we'll all be speaking it.
Bobby! Come on!
- (medical student) Watch his leg. - Let's just go! Come on.
Come on, keep it moving. Let's go!
Move! Come on, man, we've gotta go! Let's go. Come on!
(Pete) Hit it!
Move it, move it! Go!
(gunfire)
Goddamn place is empty.
Looks like they've been here.
- Come on. Let's go. - (beeping)
- Delta One! - Delta Two here.
Colonel, by the looks of it, their headquarters is empty.
I repeat, the cells are empty.
Looks like they took our people away.
- Then find 'em, dammit! - Any suggestions, Delta One?
Beggin? the Colonel's pardon, but Beirut's a goddamn big city with 2 million people.
Find one that speaks English and work on him!
Come on, boys! You gotta move fast!
Gotta find one who'll talk.
- Where'd you find 'em all? - Hiding in the bedrooms upstairs.
Yeah?
Now...
...who is your commanding officer?
Speak or you're dead!
Officer! You? You?
(murmuring in Arabic)
Come here! Get up!
Open your mouth.
Open your mouth - now! Ah! Ah!
Ah... ah...
Not if you wanna live.
Do you wanna live? Live?
- Where did they take the Americans? - Ah... ah, ah...
Where did they take the Americans?!
I hear you, Jamil.
We just received a message from Khomeini.
Did he agree?
The Ayatollah will welcome you and your hostages.
God be praised, Jamil.
You'll be met by General Mahamuzi.
He'll take you through Syria and on to the Ayatollah.
First and ten, Delta One. They're on their way to Teheran...
...on the Damascus road. - Go after them!
Yes, sir!
I'll see you when I see you.
OK, let's move!
Damn. It's gonna be light soon.
- Take off. I'll delay the reinforcements. - OK. Then you join Pete.
- I'll see you at the airport. - I won't be able to wait for you.
- Then don't wait. - I won't!
Bobby, stick with the Major, then take my vehicle. I'll meet you at the orchard.
Let's go! Come on.
Delta Two, this is Delta One. Over.
- What's the plan, boss? - A surprise party.
- Just like the old days. - You got it.
- Delta Two, come in. - I'll prepare the upper floors.
Yeah, I'm here, Major.
- How' it goin; kid? - Well, those bastards snaked us, boss.
I'm gonna go get 'em.
Watch your ass, Butch, OK?
Yeah. I'll see you when I see you, boss.
(cat meows)
Bobby!
Yo!
It's showtime.
Let's rock 'n? roll.
No one moves without my order.
It looks like the Americans are still here.
I'm afraid we are too late.
Maybe it's a trap, looks like an ambush.
I don't think so.
Commander... I think you are wrong.
God almighty.
Attack the school!
(shouting in Arabic)
LEBANON, DAMASCUS ROAD TUESDAY, JULY 23RD -5:50AM
- Why did you stop? - It's not me, it's him.
What's going on? Why did you stop?
Move on!
Look at him... look at him.
You stopped because of one man on a motorcycle? Move on.
Move on! Go!
Go back! Go back to Beirut!
God damn! That's Scott down there!
All right, let's rock 'n? roll, partner. OK, let's move! Let's go!
Let's take 'em.
They're our guys! Americans! They're Delta Force!
Need a hand?
Grab the wheel!
Move out...
Cover us!
Pete!
Gimme that blanket.
Pete...
- Take off his clothes. - Pete!
Aw, Jesus... Pete.
- You know the way to the airport? - Yes, Major.
Put the hostages into our vehicles.
The Colonel's waiting at an orange grove by the airport. Don't stop for anything!
I'll take your bike.
- What about you, Major? - I've got some business to finish.
Tell the Colonel not to wait for me.
- Use a switchblade? - Too much blood.
Anybody here?
(? rhythmic music)
(engines rewing)
Going somewhere?
(motorcycle drives off)
(motorcycle approaches)
Aaagh!
(motorcycle starts up)
Pete!
Hey, doc. Get on Pete here. Keep it quiet.
Mike! Bring my bag, and the oxygen too.
- Looks like they're expecting us. - Yes, sir.
We're gonna have to find another way.
(soldier) Maybe we could cut through the back fence.
Looks quiet.
How many guards around the plane, do you figure?
- I'd say between 12 and 16. - Yeah.
Six of our men.
What is it? Come here.
Hold it!
- (Nick) You speak English? - Yeah.
- Talk fast. Who's in charge? - Jaffer. He is in the plane.
- How many men does he have? - Nobody.
- Come on! - I swear by Allah, he is alone!
- What about the hostages? - There are three, sleeping in the cockpit.
Do you have a password?
If you wanna live, then use it.
Jaffer Iben Khalil, "Come from the mountain!"
- Maybe he is asleep. - Wake him up!
Jaffer Iben Khalil!
"Come from the mountain!" Come quickly!
What?
- Good morning. - Morning.
Good morning, gentlemen. Colonel Alexander. Delta Force.
It's about time.
- Got enough fuel? - For what?
- To fly to Israel. - You bet!
Need anything else to take off?
Yeah. A clear runway.
OK. All right, Jim, bring 'em in.
- Come on, guys. - Let's get our butt moving.
Let's go!
Sit down in the rear and buckle up. We gotta get out of here fast.
Come on, move, move, move, move!
(Bobby) Everybody find a seat fast!
Put him in first class. If you're not wounded, move down the plane.
Put him over there.
Get 'em down there. Keep going.
Come on, come on. Are you all right? Get in the back.
Come on! Double time! Let's go!
Pull it!
Where is that McCoy?
Intercom check.
Check.
All right, Captain. Everybody's on board.
Let's wind this son of a bitch up and get outta here before all of Beirut shows up.
You got it!
OK. High-pressure start... number two.
Samir! Move! Move!
Go and stop that plane!
Come on! Close that hatch!
- What about Major McCoy? - We can't wait. He's always late.
I gotta get these people outta here!
OK, gang, let's go.
Flight 282? Flight 282, what are you doing?!
You have no authorisation to move!
Stay where you are!
Beirut...
...this is American Travelways Flight 282.
I wanna thank you for an interesting stay in Beirut.
Hope you all have a nice day.
ATW 282, out.
They're crazy... they're insane...
...they're out of their minds!
Hell! They're shooting at us!
Colonel, it's the Major!
Well, come on! Get a rope down to him!
Ready? OK!
That's it! We got you! Don't worry! Pull!
Steward, close the door!
- Goose this bird and get outta here! - I don't know that we have enough room.
- We won't have a second chance. Go on! - All right. Here we go.
(cheering)
How's Pete?
He's up front.
Doc set up a hospital in the first-class section.
(murmurs of thanks)
Hey, guys, Budweisers! Let's pass 'em over!
Pass 'em over! There's lots more where these came from!
(passengers sing "America the Beautiful")
How is he, doc?
Boss.
Hi, kid.
Did we get 'em all out?
Yeah, we got 'em all.
Are we goin? home now?
We're goin? home.
Well, I'll see you there, Scott.
See you when I see you.
Doc...
Pete.

Greater love no man hath than he gives up his life for a friend.
Heavenly Father, we humbly ask you that you cherish this...

How are you?
Don't give up on this airplane.
