Holy shit.
- What was that? - Is he all right?
- Did he make it out? - Staff sergeant?
- There he is. - Staff sergeant's alive!
- Yeah, he's alive! - There he is!
That aircraft was unmanned, Iieutenant.
Drone.
That was some real John Wayne shit, staff sergeant.
Hey.
I can't afford to lose you. Neither can these men, all right?
Yeah. They're your men.
All right, staff sergeant!
That's how you do it!
- That's retreat, hell! - That's right.
Who the hell's John Wayne?
Everybody, eyes open!
Stay alert!
Thank you for that.
It's nothing.
What's that mean, "retreat, hell"?
During World War I, an officer from our regiment was ordered to retreat.
He said, "Retreat, hell. We just got here."
You should have the doc take a look at that.
I thought you were a doctor.
Animals and aliens only.
I'll put it on my to-do list.
Thank you.
Excuse me, staff sergeant. Did you say that was an unmanned drone?
Correct.
They must have one hell of a command-and-control system.
If NORTHCOM didn't agree with you, I wouldn't be here.
Why?
My mission was to provide AIS with a strike package.
A strike package?
Yeah, coordinates for a missile strike on a command-and-control centre.
But the asset fell off the grid and we lost them.
All side streets are blocked. Our only choice is to take the freeway.
All right. Well, it's your call.
Stavrou, get us on a freeway.
We don't wanna be in this area when these bombs start to fall.
Try to miss at least one of the cars, Stavrou.
Just keep driving.
Off ramp is one mile ahead.
Jesus.
Look out.
The ramp, it's gone, lieutenant.
All right, Robertson exit, half a click away.
Look out! Incoming, 12 o'clock!
- You okay? - Harper!
Tank's drawing enemy fire! It's a good time to move!
I'll suppress the fire, you take the civilians!
Secure this exit, Imlay!
Imlay, get me a defensive line on that vehicle!
- Move, move, move! - Let's go! Come on.
- Let's go! - Come on, stay down, stay down!
Just keep everybody calm. We'll be right back, all right?
All right. Safety first, buddy.
Martinez, if we get the civilians to that helo, they take cover, rappel down.
I got a dozen up on the bridge. They're moving down.
Lieutenant! Tank's out! Nothing's stopping them now!
Staff sergeant, civilians won't make it to that helo without cover fire.
Lockett, Kerns, on me, let's go!
Let's move, let's move, let's move!
Get the civilians down, all right? Move!
Come on!
About a 30-foot drop. Let's go.
Get behind the bus! Now, now, now! Get behind it!
Kids first! Around the body, bring them down one at a time.
Roger that.
Imlay!
Get your team up on that garbage truck!
Staff sergeant, cover us up front! Stavs, you're with me! On me now!
We're gonna run behind that helicopter and we're gonna rope down, all right?
The girls will be first.
I promise you nothing's gonna happen. Okay? Stay down!
Lieutenant, dozen hostiles, maybe more!
Four hundred metres and closing fast!
Cover, cover! What the hell are you doing?
You guys need another gun.
Three o'clock. Up on the bridge, Santos. Up on the bridge.
Incoming!
Ten o'clock!
- Reloading! - Aim for the leader!
Hell, you can take all the room you want.
Mottola, move, move, move!
Yes, staff sergeant! Come on, let's go! Let's go, go, go! Run now, run!
Keep running! Don't stop, run! Run, run, run!
- Get in there! - Cover me!
- I'm going for the .50 cal! - Hurry up!
Get some, Lockett.
- Shit. - What the hell is that thing?
I'm engaging!
You'll be okay, all right? It's okay. Listen to me. You're going to be okay.
I got you. I will not let anything happen to you, all right?
Shit!
Man down!
You're gonna be okay. Hold on, hold on! Keep going. Hold on!
Keep looking up!
Oh, God!
I got you. It's okay. It's okay.
Get the ant that's controlling that thing!
Lockett, get off your ass!
It's turning this way!
It's about to hit the fan, guys. Get out now! Move!
Santos, come on!
- Come on! - I'm stuck.
Go!
- What are you doing? - Go!
Imlay!
Where's Stavrou?
Mottorola! How many down?
Two down, staff sarge! One to go!
Look at me, look at me. Look, look. Be good, okay?
- It's gonna be fine, okay? You ready? - Lieutenant, C-4!
Let's blow this sucker to hell!
Let's do it.
Kerns!
Covering!
All right, dough is good to go!
- Go! - Covering!
Damn it! We've lost the detonator.
- You all right? - Yeah, got the wind knocked out of me.
- Mottorola! - Dad!
You're okay, Hector! You're okay.
Hold on!
- I need bandages from the first aid kit. - Sir! Sir!
It's okay!
Oh, my God!
All right.
We gotta get you to a medevac.
Doc!
Oh, shit, man!
- We need some cover! - Damn it, I'm out!
- Got another mag, Lockett? - They kicking our ass!
You're getting pinned down, staff sergeant!
Marines, you're getting pinned down!
- We're not leaving you. - Staff sergeant, get them out!
- Lieutenant, I am not leav-- - Get them out!
- No, I'm not leaving you! - Get them out!
No! Not again!
I have a bag of C-4 on the bus.
Give this to my wife...
...and get them off this goddamn freeway.
That's an order.
Yes, sir.
Right behind you.
Cover the lieutenant!
Hey, I'm out!
They're closing in!
Here we go.
This is Lieutenant William Martinez...
...Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines. Hoorah!
We're still half a klick inside the bombing zone.
Move to live, Marines.
Did he just leave the lieutenant back there to die?
Sure looked that way.
And this is the guy in charge of us now?
Let's move.
Hey, those are our jets. We're still in the fight.
All right, we're clear of the bomb zone.
Let's tighten this place down.
Bombs drop in six minutes.
Santos, Kerns, on me.
Let's see if there are any comms. All right? Hardwire only.
- Corporal Harris, we clear? - We're clear!
- Do you have a hard line in here? - Over there.
Now, my son's an optimist.
When this first happened, he said, "Why don't we go try to talk to them?
Maybe they wanna be friends."
Hector? Hey.
We're gonna go get some food and water for your dad, okay?
It's okay.
And what'd you tell him?
I said:
"You know, if they're chasing and shooting us...
...they're probably not good friends."
I should've followed directions and gone to the F.O.B.
I should've never stayed at the police station, but I was scared, man.
I made all the wrong decisions.
You trusted your gut, Mr. Rincon.
You made a call.
I'd do the same thing to protect my Marines.
- I had a situation my last tour. - Yeah?
There was no right call. You went left or you go right, it didn't matter.
But you're alive.
Yeah, I survived.
But I wasn't supposed to.
Staff Sergeant Nantz....
You promise to save my son?
Staff sergeant, we have a hardwired connection!
Doc, keep him warm. Sun is going down.
This will keep you warm.
We're estimating that 20 cities in 17 countries are now under full attack.
It's obvious the enemy is attempting to cut us off from one another.
Is there any more information at this time, Professor Stavert?
New data shows that they're using our water as their fuel...
...and our ocean levels are already decreasing.
They are using it to power their ships, their machinery...
...possibly their own bodies. It's the composition of our water that's unique.
It's in a liquid state. No other locations in our known universe...
...have liquid H2O anywhere near their surface.
I just saw a field report that said they will use our sewage systems...
- ...to follow our water to their ships. - How'd you get that to work?
These things are everywhere. There's one off the coast of 20 countries.
They're calling it the command-and-control centre.
- That's the thing you were tracking? - Yeah.
So you're saying that's the thing that's controlling the drones?
Yeah. And if we wipe it out, we take out their air power.
These bombs better work.
- Let's move it. - Bring him through here.
- Set him down. - How much time we got?
One minute.
Air Force about to lay some pain on those extraterritorial bastards.
- All right, Two-Five, retreat.... - Hell!
- Retreat.... - Hell!
Here we go.
Come on. Let's fry these sons of bitches.
We get to the F.O.B. after these bombs drop, get ammo.
And some goddamn reinforcements. Some goddamn tanks.
- Ten. - Gotta be strong, okay?
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
Five.
Four.
Three....
Shit. Everybody, brace!
- They should've dropped. - What the hell?
Wouldn't we have felt that from here if they'd dropped? We would've felt them.
Would've felt it in Nevada with that ordnance.
That clock right?
That's what I got.
Maybe it's a good thing. Maybe we turned the tide. That's a good thing.
You damn straight, Imlay. We was kicking some ass.
Could they have taken out the whole Air Force?
This isn't happening.
Let's move.
Everybody, up, up. Let's move. Come on.
We're in the home stretch, everybody. We in the home stretch.
Now we know why those bombs didn't drop.
They wiped our forward operating base right off the map.
All clear, staff sergeant!
All right, let's bring him back here.
Hang in there, buddy.
Million-and-one odds we'd get here in the first place...
...we get here and there ain't nothing. I knew Nantz would never get us out.
- There were thousands of Marines here. - Now it's just seven of us, Imlay.
You remind me of my older brother.
How's that?
He never smiles either.
Secure the front with Harris.
Imlay, anything?
Nothing. We only got maps of Santa Monica.
We need something farther east. They're all burned.
Follow me, Imlay.
All right, here's the battalion commander's hooch.
Looking for maps, anything with an extraction point.
Staff sergeant.
I'll be right back.
Found a tactical map, staff sergeant.
Shows where all the units were deployed.
- What the hell are all these red marks? - Means they're gone.
- You mean the units got moved? - Wiped out.
- All of them? - All of them.
Oh, shit.
All right. One alternate extraction site is still operational.
That's eight klicks.
Staff sergeant? Staff sergeant.
Adukwu, plenty of weapons around. Find yourself an M-16.
Mr. Rincon is dead.
Wake up, Dad.
Please help me right now.
Don't leave me.
I'm so sorry, Hector.
I'm sorry.
No.
Your dad tried so hard to stay with you.
- I'm sorr-- - I don't wanna be here.
It's okay, bud.
Your father was a brave man, Hector.
Hector, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, buddy.
It's okay to cry.
He loved you very much.
Listen to me, Hector.
I need you to be brave for me. I need you to be my little Marine.
Okay?
We gotta be brave for the others.
Do you know why?
Why?
Because Marines don't quit.
Do you believe that?
Say it for me.
- Marines don't quit. - Good.
I'm gonna get you out of here, Hector. I promise.
Let's go see the girls, okay? Come on.
We are not losing one more of those civilians. Understand?
You getting us out too, staff sergeant?
Or are we expendable?
All right, Lockett.
You wanna go there, let's go there.
I commanded men and men died.
Kids. 19 years old. The best men I ever led.
Do you think for one second I wouldn't rather trade places with them?
I know you think I got my men killed.
They're dead.
I'm here.
Like the punch line to some bad joke.
You think I like that?
Do you think a minute goes by that those faces aren't right here...
...seared into my brain?
Dante, Thomas T. Corporal. 1-5-6-5-0-9-3-8-6.
Ambruster, William R. Private. 8-7-6-6-6-2-3-5-4.
Wharton, Jeffrey H.
Lance Corporal. 8-7-4-2-7-3-9-9-3.
Lockett...
...Duane G.
Corporal.
1-5-6-8-7-0-9....
Five-five.
Your brother was an outstanding Marine.
He was my friend.
And I miss him every day.
And you remind me of him.
None of that matters right now.
Because our duty is to keep moving forwards, to keep fighting.
That's how we honour your brother...
...and Lieutenant Martinez...
...Corporal Stavrou...
...Lance Corporal Mottola...
...Hector's father...
...who picked up a rifle and did what needed to be done. A civilian.
So we better damn well step it up.
Discard any lingering doubt.
Work fast, work as a unit, and we will prevail.
Let's figure out how we're gonna get out of this.
Imlay, you come with me. Get to higher ground.
The rest of you, find some ammo and some vehicles.
Gotta be a few LAV's or armoured Humvees still operational.
Sorry, bro. You didn't deserve this.
You went down fighting.
Holy shit.
I wasn't expecting to see all this.
That don't look good.
Reinforcements.
Holy shit.
They already set up a beachhead.
All right.
If that evac site is still operational, I think we can get behind the line.
That's gonna be one hell of a ride.
Yeah, well, that's what we get paid for.
Everybody move to the LAV now! Go!
Any station, this net. This is Foxtrot-Two-November.
We have 11 passengers.
Requesting evacuation at alternate extraction point Charlie.
Are there any birds in the air? Over.
Foxtrot-Two-November, this is Sierra 2-5. Orders are to pull back.
Get to extraction point Charlie by 0300 or we'll be gone. Over.
Roger that. 0300, not a minute more. Out.
Imlay, ever see what a Bushmaster chain gun can do?
- Oh, shit, yes, staff sergeant. - Get on it, son.
Let's do this!
- No lights, Kerns. - Roger that.
Let's move.
Bushmaster is locked and loaded.
Give them hell.
Damn right.
Two minutes till that helo drops.
Everybody okay?
All right, Kerns, take a left.
I want you to go over three blocks, then you go about five blocks...
...hang a right, and straight.
- That should get us to the evac site. - Yes, staff sergeant.
- I'd hold on if I were you, Lockett! - Copy that!
- We got hostiles. - What's going on?
- Let's not wait around and find out. - It's gonna be okay.
Got about 250 rounds, staff sergeant.
Know what they say if you hit a deer?
- Speed up! - Damn straight!
- Come on! - Y'all hold on!
We're gonna have to go right through them!
- You saw that? - They're going down like bowling pins!
Kick it out!
Run that sucker over, man!
Santos, you okay?
I got that nasty stuff all over my mouth, man!
- It's not funny. - You let him do you on the first date.
- Everyone okay? - Yes!
Let's get us home.
Cease fire!
- Stay close, stay close! - What are we doing?
Load them up! Our flight path won't be clear much longer!
You're in the middle of the shit, sergeant!
What happened to all our air?
Pulled back to save our assets! They were blowing us out!
We're abandoning Los Angeles!
Let's go, Imlay!
Son, you okay?
All right.
Let's move! Move, move!
Come on, Harris, let's go!
Hold on!
- You all right? - Everybody all good?
- Girls? - Everybody okay?
Hold on tight!
What happened?
Pilot said something was playing hell with our power!
Staff sergeant! Nine o'clock!
Santos, you said you were tracking massive RF signals?
Could a concentration of them knock out power?
Yes, definitely! Why?
Could be their command-and-control centre!
Get me down there!
What?
I gotta recon that area!
No way! It's a suicide!
Damn it, we're the only ones left! All the other forces have fallen back!
We can't land! May not have power to take off again!
This is a letter for Martinez's wife.
Will you get it to her?
Yeah.
Hover at 40 feet!
- Twenty seconds! - Roger that!
Come on, Adukwu, let's get this off.
Staff sergeant, what the hell are you doing?
We're in the clear! We're almost home, Imlay!
You're in charge now!
You get these civilians home safe!
You're the bravest Marine I ever seen, Hector!
No!
Everybody, take cover.
I told you to stay in that helo.
Civilians are free and clear. We were worried about your ass.
I think the command-and-control asset is nearby.
Kerns, how many klicks to that blackout?
It's about five klicks, staff sergeant.
Five klicks. All right.
We're gonna use this overpass for cover.
If we take out those drones...
...our military might have a chance to get back into this fight.
Santos...
...where would you put a command and control asset if you wanted to protect it?
- Underground. - Let's go.
Everybody, let's move. Come on. Move, move, move.
Move.
They must've gone back up. Just leads up to the street.
I thought they were leading us to the command-and-control centre.
Damn it.
Let's go. Back.
Holy shit!
Santos!
They know we're here now.
That's their command-and-control.
Everybody out now! Move, move, move! Follow me!
Up here! Up that ladder, go! Move, move, move! Up that ladder!
Let's go! Move it up! Blow that grate, Imlay!
Move, move, move!
We're right over their command asset.
That's it, all right. Let's move the concrete slab, 1 o'clock. Let's move.
Fire in the hole!
That should give us a couple minutes.
Laser target, staff sergeant? We don't have any more jets, though.
They can fire ground-to-ground missiles from Edwards Air Force Base.
We radio in a strike, paint the target with the laser.
- Aye-aye, staff sergeant. - Hoorah.
Our best chance at radio reception is on top of that building...
...but it's the most exposed.
I'll do it, staff sergeant. I'll make the call.
Santos, you got those codes?
Air Force strike package coming up.
You get to high ground. Once you radio in, they'll track that signal.
Things are gonna get real hot.
So once you make that call, you get the hell out of there, all right?
You know what that means?
We're gonna have to hold those things off till the strike gets here.
Bingo. Marines...
...we make our stand here. Let those bastards know who they're fucking with.
- Retreat.... - Hell!
Two-Five.
- Right of the heart, right? - Right of the heart.
They're gonna be coming up from there. Take two.
Plant one there and the other one on the other side.
- Keep your head down, get it done. - Doc, watch your back!
Watch your head! Watch it!
Any station, this is Foxtrot-Two-November, do you copy?
Foxtrot-Two-November, this is Yankee-Tango, over.
We have a priority fire mission. We've located an enemy command centre...
...under grid 885-342.
We will be lasing. Code 1-2-0.
I say again, we will be lasing. Code 1-2-0.
Copy that. Time to target, three minutes.
Staff sergeant!
We got three minutes! It's coming in three minutes!
All right. Let's paint this target.
Hell of a shot, Kerns! Get your ass out of there!
Get out of there, Kerns! Shit.
- Shit! - Kerns!
Shit! Shit!
Doc, Doc! Get to cover now! Move, move!
Shit.
Contact! Twelve o'clock!
Covering up front!
- Go, go, go! - Go on, get in there!
Shift fire left! Shift fire left!
Right there, right there!
Got it!
Sixty seconds left.
- Lockett! - Shit!
Let's go!
Back in the fight, Santos!
- Need a little help! - Covering!
Imlay, use your grenade launcher!
- I got it, Doc! - Covering!
Where's that goddamn artillery? Should've hit by now.
Doc, let's go!
- Doc? - Imlay! Imlay!
Incoming!
Yes!
Santos, we got it! We got it!
Direct hit! Direct hit!
Staff sergeant, you did it!
Yes, we got it!
The strike package. It went through?
- It came through? - Yeah! All right, Kerns!
It's over.
It's coming up. It's coming up.
They're trying to get away.
The goddamn thing can fly, staff sergeant. It's flying now!
I'll get you out!
We gotta protect the laser. Come on. Come on!
Santos!
Son of a bitch!
- That hurt! - Cover me, Lockett!
The drones are pulling it away! We gotta take it out now!
Incoming Copperhead!
They're using the drone to protect the ship!
I'm running low on ammo!
Santos!
- How is he? - He's hanging in there, staff sergeant!
Crazy bastard. You should've left me there.
Covering!
Grenade!
- Staff sergeant! - We are not dying here, Lockett!
You damn right we're not dying!
It's getting out of range! I gotta take it down!
Doesn't have enough punch! Save that shot!
Staff sergeant!
Lockett, you okay?
Harris, you're gonna be okay.
There's the last Copperhead.
Santos, take out that drone!
Firing!
- Yeah! - We did it!
We did it!
I can't believe it worked!
Yeah!
Staff sergeant, you did it!
There's nothing controlling the drones anymore!
Marines, on me!
They're retreating. Advance!
You guys saved our lives out there!
Semper Fi, Two-Five!
- All right, Two-Five! - Retreat, hell!
You kicked ass, staff sarge! Welcome home!
- Move! Move! Move! - Good work, Marines! Outstanding.
Your civilians are safe.
Word of how you brought their ship down...
...is going out to every army in every city.
We're mustering up whatever troops we can get and going back in.
So get out of that gear.
Get some chow in you.
There's breakfast in the tent.
You earned it. Hoorah, Two-Five.
- Get some smoke, Imlay. - Got you.
Got grenades over here. Anybody need?
- Got frag rounds coming down. - Imlay, I think you could use this.
- Got it. HE rounds. - I need a couple more magazines.
- Very nice, very nice. - Everybody got ammo?
Yes, staff sergeant.
What do you think you're doing, staff sergeant?
We already had breakfast, sir.
I'll be borrowing this, sir.
Carry on.
- Retreat, hell! - Hoorah!
This is Bullpen 2-3. Who's with me?
Morning, Bullpen. Dog Pound 2-1, on your left.
Good to hear a friendly voice, Dog Pound 2-1.
Liberty 1-1, Snake Eyes joining the fight.
Yankee-Foxtrot-2-1, we're on your six.
- Morning, Dog Pound 2-1. - Eagle on your right.
This is Foxtrot-Two-November. Let's take back Los Angeles.
