- Got one morel - Don't shoot!
- Stay where you are! - Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
- Put your hands up! - I'm American! I'm on your side!
- American? - I know what you're Iooking for.
- How much? - Relax, Dad. lt's a write-off.
- It's a rip-off, more Iike. - It's gorgeous, EmiIy!
- It's for the Christmas party. - The one you're throwing for your fantastic staff.
You've aIways said they're just Iike famiIy to you.
You two, you're in this together, aren't you? This is a conspiracy, right?
Uh- Oh! Uh, Dad, I'd Iike you to meet Rick Massey.
Oh, yeah?
I'm GiII.
[ Gillian ] Hi.
- Dr. Lightman? - Yeah.
Right. You're with me. You too.
Not too much on the Iights and that, right?
Uh, Dad.
I'm- I'm sure he Iikes you. I wouIdn't worry about it.
So Deputy Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs.
What's that then? C.l.A. ?
I work for the president.
I'm goin' with N.S.A.
I need you to boot up your sateIIite Iink system.
What I'm about to teII you is cIassified, top secret.
Nearly 1 0 hours ago in Afghanistan, 30 miles from the Pakistan border...
two recon marines were separated from their pIatoon during a skirmish with the TaIiban.
- They haven't been seen since. - Yeah.
Lieutenant WiIIiams from Wisconsin, Sergeant Hart from Arizona.
This is Hart's third tour of duty.
WiIIiams's wife just gave birth to a baby girI.
Key in the code J-H-K-3-4-Z-Y.
Within an hour of their disappearance, Predators, drones and special missions units...
were deployed in the search for them.
Forty-six minutes ago, one team found something.
- [ Shouts ] - Franko James Vincent from Baltimore, so he claims.
- Thirty-four years old. - Oh, my God.
Oh, is this-
He's another John WaIker Lindh.
- American who went over to the TaIiban or- - Don't know what he is yet.
AII we know for sure is he's given up a TaIiban compound in the Greman VaIIey...
where he swears they're hoIding the two marines.
WeII, I get what you want from me.
- Uh, transmit. - Okay.
- Ready. - [ Cal ] Mr. Vincent.
You say you know where the TaIiban are hoIding two U.S. marines?
- [ Transmission Beeps ] - How do we know you're teIIing the truth?
I don't want to die.
All right. Uh, the part about not wanting to die, that's true enough, right?
When did you join the TaIiban?
I was an aid worker...
and I was teaching schooI when the war broke out.
And-And l got very sick in a village, and they-
they- they saved my Iife.
- Just- That's enough. - They took me in.
- That's enough. Stop there. - No deniaI about being TaIiban.
No. Well, the delay's not helping.
Um- But I mean, I wouIdn't trust him as far as I couId throw him.
He's Iying then.
You'd need to bring him here for me to get a proper read. I'm sorry.
WhiIe we mount a mission to rescue those marines...
we'II have to treat him as an operationaI asset in country.
Look, if you think you're gonna send me to Afghanistan-
You do think you're gonna send me to Afghanistan, don't you?
And there was I, dreaming of a white Christmas.
[ Man ] Dream, send me a sign
Turn back the clock
Give me some time
l need to break out
Make a new name
Let's open our eyes
To the brand-new day
- How quick can you get me there? - CaI.
Have a heIicopter on the roof.
lt'll get you to Andrews in 20. Wheels up in 30.
AII right. And, um, GiII.
Not a word of this to EmiIy, aII right?
- Hey, hey. - Hey.
- What's that? - I-It's Secret Santa.
You pick a name, and you get that person a gift. There's a $20 limit.
- It's for the Christmas party. - AII right.
WeII, Iook, um...
I've got to go away for a- a few days.
- Oh. Where? - Um, just out of town. I won't be Iong.
WeII, the Christmas party's in three days. You'II be back for that, right?
- Oh, I wouIdn't miss that for the worId, Iove. - Liar.
No, it's, uh, fairy Iights...
and reaIIy crappy music and-and good wiII to aII men.
It's right up my aIIey.
- Where's your boyfriend, Dick? - Rick. Funny, Dad.
Uh, did I- did I scare him away, did I?
Uh, for your information, he went home to study.
- ReaIIy? - Mm-hmm.
AII right. In that case, aII right.
- [ ChuckIes ] - There.
Get the best Christmas Iights for your tree...
that money can buy, aII right?
AII right. So, where are you going? Hey.
Uh, I'II onIy be in FIorida. Oh, right. Okay.
What happens if I pick myseIf?
You put it back and pick again.
- And besides, somebody aIready has you. Mm-hmm. - Who?
- It's a secret. Duh. - Oh.
AII right then. [ ChuckIing ] AII right.
- WeII, hurry home. - WiII do.
[ Kisses, Grunts ]
- I Iove you. - Love you too.
This is gonna be the best Christmas party everl
- What? - You can't go to that pIace again.
I've never been to Afghanistan in my Iife.
You know what I'm taIking about, CaI.
Two missing marines, Iove.
Fear's heaIthy.
Don't forget it.
Right you are.
Bye, darIing.
[ Man On Radio ] Foxtrot 3 1 Delta.
[ Man #2 On Radio ] Tango One Romeo headed for your 20. Over.
[ Man #3 On Radio ] Zero Alpha, copy. Bring it on.
- [ Man Shouts ] - [ Dog Barking ]
Dr. Lightman.
This way, Doc.
''Doc.'' I Iike that. I do. No. I do.
[ Radio Chatter ]
Right this way. Watch your head here.
- Festive. - Yeah, the more I make, the better they get.
WeIcome to the North PoIe, Dr. Lightman.
- John Parks, Team Commander. - How do you do?
Straight away, I see you're wondering what idiot came up with the pIan to send me here.
So, we have something in common.
Charlie Team with the altitude. Waiting for your go order, boss.
Right now, aII you and I care about are my 1 2 soIdiers in the air...
ready to HALO into the TaIiban compound...
our new friend here says are hoIding those two marines.
If you've aIready sent a mission before I've even had a chance to taIk to your friend-
I've moved my team within striking distance.
I do my job, you do yours. FinaI decision's mine, period.
No disrespect, but we don't have a Iot of time to screw around...
before these animaIs start cuttin' heads off.
WeII, do me a favor, wiII you?
HoId on the go order untiI I've had a chance to taIk to your new friend...
and, uh, I'II do my best not to screw around, aII right?
We gave him a shave and cleaned him up. Looks like one of us now.
- Sat Iink eyes to your peopIe. - [ CaI ] AII right.
[ Gasps ]
- [ Speaks Pashto ] - You beIieve in Santa CIaus?
[ Man Shouting ]
Up.
- [ Beeps ] - Cheers.
Say heIIo to the foIks back home.
I'm serious. Say heIIo to the foIks back home.
- HeIIo. - Whoa, he feIt that.
Deep sadness at the mention of home.
[ Eli ] What are those? Paper snowflakes?
When Lightman asked him if he believed in Santa Claus, l saw a flash of hope.
Where's home for you, Franko?
What?
- Where's home for you, Franko? - 1 27 6 Bayview, BaItimore, MaryIand.
Blurts out a street address like he memorized it by heart.
I-I Iive with my aunt.
- Aunt Wendy. - [ ChuckIes ]
- l'm sorry? - Wendy Perriman.
- My aunt. - Is that supposed to mean something to me, or what?
My aunt.
Bayview what?
Bayview Avenue?
Bayview Terrace, BouIevard, Street?
- What is it? - Avenue.
You seem pretty sure about every other detaiI except for that one smaII thing, so-
Bayview Road, Baltimore...
and the natives pronounce it ''Bawmer.''
You know, I'm not buying much, if any, of the whoIe aid worker, Aunt Wendy story.
l mean, why lie about your Aunt Wendy...
unIess it's part of some cover-up, some-
What is it? C. I.A., hmm?
Oh, that struck a nerve.
AII right. Moving on.
How do you know where the TaIiban are hoIding the two marines?
Why give up that information?
'Cause I'm an American, not Iike you.
Ex-C. I.A., rogue Iunatic.
Whatever it is, any idiot can see that you've-
you've grown some deep hatred of aII things UncIe Sam.
You know, I think- I think you're just a traitor...
tryin' to save his own skin.
[ Radio Chatter ]
What's your TaIiban name, Franko?
This cIose to the border with Pakistan...
the TaIiban never moves more than 1 0 miIes with prisoners in the first 48 hours...
and onIy at night.
The pIace I toId these soIdiers about, it's the safest pIace to hide...
that cIose to where the marines were captured.
He said the first haIf of that with extreme confidence, because it's probabIy true...
but he used the word ''safest''...
inferring that the TaIiban have more than one pIace they hide out.
Where eIse might the TaIiban be hiding?
- Nowhere. - WeII, your shouIder begs to differ.
All call signs, stand by for go.
He's Iying.
Yeah, he's sending you to the wrong location.
He's Iying.
- [ Man On Radio ] CharIie One. Over target area now. - You're sure he's Iying?
Yeah. No. WeII, 70%.
Yeah, at best, he's sending you to an empty compound.
At worst, it's an ambush, right? Sit down.
- Seventy percent? - Yeah, weII, it's not an exact science.
If it was, you'd have Bin Laden by now, wouIdn't you, eh?
[ Man On Radio ] Zero Charlie One. Do you copy? Over.
Abort!
Do it, Mo, now.
Abort. Say again, abort mission.
You better be right, Dr. Lightman.
[ Man On Radio ] Abort mission. Copy.
Yeah.
[ Men Shouting ]
Forget it. No way in hell.
Look, I get that you're a scientist...
but this is no pIace for experiments.
Look, this guy, he's definiteIy hiding something.
Whatever it is, it's buried deep, and there's a connection to your government somewhere.
I'm teIIing you, you've gotta Iet me dig it out of him.
You mean to teII me this maggot's some sort of spy for us?
Yeah. He's C. I.A. or reIated.
I mean, either he's protecting some Iong-term deep-cover operation...
or he's just been out here too Iong and he's fIipped to the other side.
But those are just theories, Doc.
Look, you aIready proved yourseIf smarter than that when you axed PIan ''A.''
Don't give up on me now, Parks, or I'm on the first donkey out of here.
Look, whatever he is, whoever he is, I don't care.
I need accurate inteI from him, and I need it yesterday.
Yeah, yeah. No, you're right. Sod the science.
Give me a weapon.
At Ieast I'II get home in time for my daughter's Christmas party. Weapon, pIease.
Mr. Komisky?
Oh, pIease. Ed.
State Department? Pentagon.
Defense. SpeciaI Deputy, Operations and PIans.
I'II be observing Dr. Lightman's progress with the prisoner.
Top-secret news sure does spread fast in this town.
- WeIcome. - Thank you.
This way.
[ Shouts ]
All right.
WeII, he's ready for battIe, and he's smart enough...
to know when to Iive and fight another day, so...
he's a warrior...
but he's not a martyr.
These are three of the boys you tried to lead to the wrong Taliban compound.
What was it, eh?
Was it an ambush?
Was it an empty compound?
Oh, empty compound.
Well, that's something, l suppose, eh, lads?
- [ Gasping ] - Hey!
We keep hearing this, uh, story about you being a C. I.A. agent who got boned...
that you got sent out here years ago, left for dead.
- Is that right? - I don't get home to Texas one of these days...
my wife is gonna take my daughter and move back to Michigan.
Look, this is my Iast tour. After this, I'm done.
lf it's true you got boned by the C.l.A., l still don't understand what you did.
- What did I do? - You went over to the enemy, you pIonker.
Come here.
Contempt and anger.
[ Grunting ]
Now, now. Wait, wait. Now I get it.
I see your shame. I see it.
AII right, it was either join them or die.
l mean, these three, they might not do what you did, but l might.
I'm a naturaI-born coward. My bIood runs as yeIIow as the next man's.
- Lightman caIIed him a coward. - How is this heIping get our marines back exactIy?
Lightman just caIIed him a coward because he's about to present him...
with an opportunity for redemption.
Watch.
But what you've got in common with these guys...
is that it's aII about Iiving to fight tomorrow, right...
in the hope that someday soon you get to go home.
If that's not in the cards...
then aII that remains is the Iast fight you fight.
And then the question becomes...
which side of the fight are you on, eh?
- He's thinkin' about it. - Oh, God, I'm- Crap. I'm so sorry.
Um, here, let's- Quick, before it stains.
[ Franko ] There's another hideout in the area.
- But first I have- - First you have what?
A condition.
It's a very common power pIay for someone who feeIs backed into a corner...
with nothing to Iose or- or gain.
You have a what? What do you have?
Every time you ask me a question, I get to ask you a question.
Truth buys you the truth. You Iie, I Iie.
AII right. But first, you show me on the map...
where the TaIiban are hoIding these two marines.
- AII right? - Okay.
Let's go.
[ Grunts ]
Okay.
Here, there's two caves...
with a tunneI that connects them.
It's been there for over 200 years.
Why didn't you teII us about this pIace to start with?
No, he's been with the TaIiban too Iong. You're stiII the bIoody enemy.
Me, on the other hand, I'm aII that's between you two.
[ InhaIes, ExhaIes ]
I'm reaIIy sorry about this. I needed an excuse to taIk to you away from Komisky.
We need to figure out some signaIs, or this is gonna get expensive.
- Komisky's no stranger to Franko. - Yeah, you saw that too?
Another thing I saw, he's carefuI to keep himseIf off the sat Iink cameras...
hidden from Lightman and Franko.
Gillian, have you heard from my dad in the last 2 4 hours?
Yeah. Yeah. Why?
Well, he always calls to check in when he's out of town, and he hasn't this time.
His phone goes straight to voice maiI.
Sweetheart, he's reaIIy swamped right now...
and- and he'II caII as soon as he can, okay?
Hey, guys, we're minutes away from- Hey, Em!
- How's the party comin'? - WeII, what are they minutes away from?
- Minutes away from what? - Um, he wiII be back before you know it, okay?
Um, I gotta go, Em, aII right? We'II taIk Iater.
[ Lock Beeps ]
- [ Man On Radio ] Charlie Three. Confirm cave entrance. - Yeah, yeah, that's it.
- That's the cave. - BIoody better be.
CentraI 1 -1 , changing our position.
- Am I ever gonna get home? - We don't have time for these games.
No, it's not a game. This is a- a test of trust, right?
WeII, if you ever do get home, you're pretty much screwed.
- Eh? - It's the right cave. I'm a hundred percent certain.
[ Radio Chatter ]
CharIie One, target confirmed. Move, move.
CharIie One. Copy. Out. Stand by.
- Contact! Contact! - [ Man Shouts ]
- Let's gol - [ Gunshots ]
Man down! Man down!
Man downl
You and your science just Iet this bastard Iead us into an ambush.
Casualty. Charlie Three. Charlie Three is hitl
[ Angry Shouting ]
- Mo! Back off! - [ Foreign Language ]
AII right.
Hey, what did you say to him? What did he say to you?
He said, ''KiII me now. It wouId be an honor.''
You meant it, didn't you? Who are you now, eh? Who are you now?
- My TaIiban name is KhaIed. - Yeah?
My name is Mo, short for Mohammed, dog breath.
AII right!
- Did you, or did you not, send my men into an ambush? - I did not!
l told you it was a Taliban hideoutl
Didn't you expect it to be guarded?
- Maybe you underestimate your enemy. - Hey, hey!
Behave. He's telling the truth.
He was as shocked as you are by what happened.
And you're not gonna kiII an unarmed man in coId bIood just out of sheer frustration...
so knock it off, Parks, all right?
[ Man Shouting On Radio ]
You know that man?
- You know that man? - I've never seen him before.
- Do you know that man? - I've never seen him before.
Foster. Foster, who have you got there?
This is Ed Komisky, Defense Department.
Right. Ed, I see you've met my friend Franko.
Look. There he goes. There he goes.
Amazing, huh?
AII right. Okay.
Is he one of the ones that sent you here, eh?
Is he the one that sent you here?
What'd he teII you? What did he teII you?
Did he teII you you were gonna be a hero, a patriot? Is that it?
What then, eh? Then what?
Oh, that's between you and him?
l mean, l'd be very happy to set up that face-to-face meeting...
but right now, we got some mess to cIear up, aII right?
Mo, Mo. KiII the feed.
- KiII the feed! - What, he's shutting us out?
Get him on the sat phone. Order him to give us eyes back.
If you think CaI Lightman is gonna jump because you barked, you don't know the man.
- Trust me. - CaII me if he comes back onIine.
You know Franko, don't you?
The onIy reason I'm here...
is because I want to see those two marines return home aIive.
Us too.
Look at you, eh? Look at you.
A moment ago, you were saying you were wiIIing to die at this man's hand.
It'd be an honor, right? Now Iook at you.
You'd do anything you can to get home...
just because of what you saw on that sat Iink.
[ Man On Radio Panting ] Zero Charlie One. Over.
[ Panting Continues ] Casualty. Charlie Three. Casualty.
If he caIIs in an air strike, right...
matter of minutes, a Iot of peopIe are gonna die.
Doesn't matter what side you're on, right?
When I got here, you thought I was here to heIp you, didn't you?
Didn't you?
There's another way in.
- Where? - When'd you get hooked, Dr. Lightman?
Let's go, let's gol Hurry the hell upl
- What? What? - On war, on this.
You get high on being in the middIe of it aII, don't you? I can see it in your face.
- Why are you doing this? - Okay, you know what? There is no other way in.
They're dead.
Look, I toId you, you Iie, I Iie.
AII right. Bosnia, right? '94.
I didn't see direct action, but I was- I was this cIose to it.
AII right? You get-
You get Iucky just one time, you survive, right, and it's- it's a rush.
There's no- There's nothing Iike it.
- It's deIusions of immortaIity, right? - Yeah.
- Right? - You're enjoying this then, yeah?
No. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Now- Now it's your turn.
You owe me the other tunneI to that cave.
- TeII 'em to go Ieft. - You teII 'em. You teII 'em.
Parks? Parks! You teII him. You teII him!
TeII 'em to go Ieft about a hundred yards.
There's a- a rock with an arch in it.
- This doesn't work, he's done. - Yeah, weII, so am I.
Mo, what's this? Look at that.
This isn't just a test of trust, is it?
Right? You're pIayin' this game because you think that if this mission goes south...
then you're not the onIy one to bIame.
But if it succeeds...
I'm gonna become your- your brother in arms, right?
I'm gonna be more IikeIy to heIp you somewhere down the road, right?
WeII, don't hoId your breath.
Ms. Lennox.
What do you know about Ed Komisky?
Mr. Komisky is a hangover from previous administrations.
Man's more Iike a Pentagon ghost.
We're beginning to think he was invoIved in some sort of operation...
which abandoned Franko in Afghanistan.
- Are you aware of any such operations? - No.
You don't want to think about it?
I know of no operations invoIving Franko.
No records exist of C. I.A. or any other agency's invoIvement.
But he couId be an agency asset that you have never heard about.
No, I understand what you're asking...
but I'm not sure I can get any answers quicker than you can.
Franko's aunt. I need her here as soon as possibIe.
- Can you do that? - [ Ria ] Hey, Lightman's back online.
- He needs our eyes and ears for this next part. - We never had-
Never had this conversation. I got it.
[ Man ] Yeah, confirming that, Number Three AIpha Bravo.
If I heIp get these marines out, I want my story toId.
That's above my pay grade, paI. Dream on.
It's right at my pay grade, if your story's true.
WeII, that's- that's the back entrance to the cave.
They're gonna hit a tunneI, and they can go one of two directions.
Left? Left is bad.
- Charlie One, move right. Over. - No, no, no, no. Wait, wait. Wait a second!
If it's a back way into the cave, it's aIso a back way out. We mount a frontaI assauIt.
That way, they'll try and haul ass out the back way with the prisoners.
[ Cal ] That's what l'd do. How about you, eh?
- [ Explosion ] - HoId position, CharIie One. HoId position!
Set evac charges. Stand by for enemy. Over.
- That is not FIorida. - EmiIy. How'd you get in here?
You Iied to me! He Iied to me.
Charlie One. Hold position. Set evac charge.
Stand by for enemy. Over.
[ Rocks Crumbling ]
- [ Explosions ] - Dad?
EmiIy.
Dad?
[ Machine Gun Fire ]
- [ ExpIosions ] - Dad!
- Did he just get- - No. No. No, he didn't.
[ Lock Beeps ]
[ Man On Radio ] Charlie One. Accessing cave entrance now.
Charlie Three, Charlie Threel Zero Alphal Overl
[ Cal ] How'd the Taliban find us?
They got his radio when he was hit...
used it to direction-find us here.
[ Man On Radio ] Fire support, confirm position. Over.
Moving. Turning tunneI now.
Go in firm. The tunneI intersection.
[ Explosion ]
- [ Gunshots ] - Contact, contact.
- Marine prisoners and Taliban. - Three TaIiban dead.
Evac compIete. We have two marines and rescue team compIete.
- Setting evac charges now. Over. - Copy that.
AIpha Whiskey One standing by, waiting for your signaI. Over.
- [ Explosion ] - [ Man On Radio ] Uh, confirmed. We need a medic on board.
Over.
[ Static CrackIing ]
It's a direct hit. Radios are dead for good.
- They're out there on their own now. - Wait. What- What about us?
- You got any contingencies? - In case of- [ Shouts ]
comms during contact with the enemy...
we have 20 minutes to hauI ass out of here.
What happens in 20 minutes?
Smart bombs turn this pIace into a parking Iot, and everything in it.
The onIy way that you can get out of here is if you Iure the enemy into the kiII zone...
- which happens to be here, right? - Copy that.
- Oh, thank you very much. - AII right, you wait here.
If I'm not back in 1 8 minutes, you Ieave by that door, okay?
You know how to use that?
[ Explosion ]
- Not bad for a scientist. - I've had my moments.
Terrific.
Got 1 7 minutes. You want to teII me about your moments?
No, the game's over, you know what I mean?
Besides, you're the one that wants his story toId, so-
- How badIy you want to hear it? - [ Explosion ]
WeII, answer's probabIy gonna stay in this room anyway. Go on. Ask your question.
- What did you do in Bosnia? - InteIIigence.
You seem Iike you don't want to reaIIy taIk about it.
- Why is that? - WeII, the past is the past, right?
I can reIate to that.
I know that you're trying to get some common ground between us...
aII right, KhaIed?
But I didn't betray my country.
You betrayed something.
- Yeah, I betrayed meseIf. How 'bout you? - [ Explosion ]
- [ Beeps ] - Mr. Komisky, a moment of your time?
You too, Torres.
My reaI name is SpeciaIist GIen WeIsh.
What branch of the miIitary were you in?
No, no, no. Back to Bosnia.
Your betrayaI.
Oh, yeah. Uh, Sarajevo, '94.
Right. We were interrogating a- a Serb officer...
about his sniper positions.
- ''We''? - Yeah, MI6. British inteIIigence.
And, um, I didn't beIieve him...
so we changed his cIothes and chucked him out into Sniper AIIey.
Lasted about four seconds.
Got about 1 8 feet-ish, right?
His information was accurate.
- But he's the enemy, right? - [ Explosion ]
I'm a- I'm a scientist, I'm not an executioner.
- War got the better of you too. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now your turn.
I was aimin' for SpeciaI Ops.
Before I got there, uh, '99, I got in a bar fight.
They threw me in the brig for three years. Manslaughter.
I'd teII you my drinks were spiked, but what wouId you care, right?
- Right. - [ ExhaIes ]
Two years Iater, uh, this is right after 9/1 1 ...
I got jumped in the brig and was thrown in the hospitaI.
Somebody had knifed me in my back.
That's when they offered me a way out.
That man you saw on the sat Iink, right?
- Yeah? - [ Explosion ]
Miss Perriman?
- Franko's Aunt Wendy? - Franko?
He's aIive?
Where is he?
And they moved you from, uh- straight from the brig hospitaI to a training faciIity, right?
- Uh-huh. - Where?
Somewhere out west. I don't know exactIy. They- They didn't teII me.
It Iooked a Iot Iike this heIIhoIe.
- AII right, and they trained you to do what? - [ Explosion ]
They taught me Pashto.
They put me through their own brand of SpeciaI Ops training...
and then they dropped me in the middIe of TaIiban territory...
posing as an aid worker with Shia sympathies.
You know, they said they were gonna be watching me, that they'd have my back...
and that they'd- they'd puII me out when the time was right.
AII right, but- but they didn't. They never came back for you, right?
They betrayed you, so you went over to the other side.
ls that it?
- Did you ever kiII any American troops? - No.
- WeII, that's a bIoody Iie. - No! I-
No! Look, Iook, Iook.
You- You try to shoot over their heads...
but those bastards, they- they just keep shooting backl
- AII right. - What? What?
What are you doing?
[ Shouts ]
[ Grunts, Screams ]
- HoId stiII! HoId stiII! - What are you doing? Stopl
HoId stiII! Why did they put you here?
How did they know how to find you? How are they tracking you?
- [ Screams ] - Eh? I think I know. I think I know. I think I-
- [ Screams ] - HoId stiII.
AII right. This is gonna prove your story's reaI.
- [ Shouts ] - What the heII are you doin', Lightman?
- [ Screams ] - HoId him! HoId him stiII!
- Hold him still. - Hey, we gotta go! We gotta go right now!
- Not tiII I've done this! - You Iisten to orders!
I'm takin' my orders from the president. Did I forget to mention that?
- HoId him stiII. - [ Whimpers, Shouts ]
- AII right. Give me the pIiers! - [ Explosion ]
[ Franko Whimpering ]
[ Screaming, Panting ]
My sister Peg died giving birth to Franko...
and, um, I raised him just Iike he was my own.
- Have you two met before? - No.
No.
What eIementary schooI did Franko go to?
Who was his first girIfriend?
Miss Perriman?
l believe you really did have a sister who died in childbirth...
which is what makes your story beIievabIe to a Iayman.
- It's not a story. - Do you carry a picture of your nephew?
I just- I imagine over the years of not knowing where he is...
or if he's even alive, it might be a great comfort to you.
- A symboI of hope, to have- - That's enough. You don't have to answer that.
They came to me after 9/1 1 .
My sister's death didn't have to be for nothing, they said.
She's definiteIy teIIing the truth.
I can teII you want to get this out, so pIease keep going, Miss Perriman.
Someone from the C. I.A. did come to me.
I guess it was...
Iike an acting roIe for my country.
You gotta understand, I wanted to do something.
We aII wanted to do something.
IncIuding you, sir. I beIieve that.
But you sent a man into Afghanistan to infiItrate the TaIiban.
Then what? You just forget about him, or you just Ieave him there to rot, or worse?
We Iost him. The battery in his tracking device died.
- The battery? - It happens.
- Know how hard it is to find anyone out there? - I've heard.
We kept waiting for him to show up, and when he didn't, we assumed he was dead.
So, pIease...
take your sanctimonious judgment and park it somewhere eIse.
[ Explosion ]
Snow.
If we don't get out of here, it'II be the Iast white Christmas we ever see.
- Not untiI I've done this. HoId on. - [ Screaming ]
Hey! Hey! HoId stiII!
[ Groaning ]
There it is.
- [ Grunts ] - It's a tracking device, yeah?
It's, uh, two-year battery Iife.
- He is one of ours. - Why didn't you teII us who you were in the beginning?
Orders. I disobey, I'm dead.
The only person l ever reveal my identity to is the man with the code.
- Nobody eIse! - [ Explosion ]
The code was Aunt Wendy.
WeII, that's a reason, but that's not- that's not the reaI reason, is it?
Come on. You can do better than that.
When these bastards caught me, and they beat me, yeah, I was TaIiban.
WeII, that's better. So, who are you now, eh?
You're the expert. You teII me.
[ Explosion ]
- You teII your mom? - No.
- Why not? - Same reason you didn't teII me.
Don't you think you shouId teII her?
He can teII her when he gets back.
[ Door Opens ]
[ Door Closes ]
Move out! Let's go! Let's go!

Let's go! Move! Move!
Mo, Iet's go!
[ Man Shouting ]

No. No, no, no. We saw it on your face earlier, right?
You got orders never to Iet this man Ieave this room aIive, don't you?
Eh? Am l right?
Okay. Look.
These men remind you of what- what you wanted to be, right?
So now it's aII about the Iast fight you fight and which side of the fight you're on...
and if you finaIIy get to do...
what you came here in the first pIace to do, eh?
I need 45 seconds of fight out of him to cIear the tunneI.
You got it.
[ Explosion ]

No, thank you.
[ Mouthing Words ]

Oh. It's the reaI Aunt Wendy.
PIease, don't do this.
This is a matter of nationaI security.
What story did you peopIe teII SpeciaIist WeIsh's- Franko's famiIy?
Killed in action?
Died in the brig?
Oh, died in the brig. Nice one.

Oh, yeah? Our country, you mean.
lt's our country. lt's about time you let that one go, mate.
You go pubIic with this, you'II be breaking the Iaw.
I'm not going pubIic. I'm gonna teII a man's famiIy the truth about their son.
You know what I mean.
You know, sooner or Iater...
we gotta stand up and be counted for our mistakes, right?
Your man, Franko, he went over to the TaIiban.
That was a big mistake, but in the end-
You know what I mean?
- Mr. WeIsh. - What's goin' on out here?
- Who are you? - [ Woman ] Who is it, hon?
You mind if I come in for a minute?
There's a few things I'd Iike to teII you about your son, GIen.
