[phone ringing]
FEMALE SECRETARY: [over phone]
Dave, I have Mike Stevens
calling again.
Connecting you now.
-Sorry,
I got your message.
We're just a little bit busy
around here right now.
What can I do for you?
[wings flapping]
-Yeah, Dave. Listen,
I need your help.
[radio screeching]
I need you to help me to
get a group of missionaries
out of Pakistan.
-Missionaries? Come on, Mike.
I've got thousands of people
trying to escape the country.
Three administrations
we kept this thing together,
and this one
just wants to walk away
and let the enemy
take over the country.
So now they're hitting
us with everything they've got,
just as we're trying to pull out
and claim some kind of victory.
-I... I know.
I know.
[radio screeches]
-You can't tell me that these
people didn't know the risks
when they went in there.
Look, you're just
going to have to tell them
to bag it up and get out.
-They're Americans.
-Americans? Americans.
[radio screeches]
-This ministry brought
this guy and his family over
here to start a church
in this little village
called Sarad.
We've been using them
to coordinate the evacuation
of these ANSF interpreters.
But they just...
they stayed too long.
[radio screeches]
[indistinct radio chatter]
-Mike...
look, you didn't
hear this from me,
but they're pushing hundreds
of insurgents into that area.
They've already
hit the embassy
in Cabel,
government buildings,
police stations.
They're even trying to dig
into the surrounding villages.
It's like the
TET offensive out there.
The media is saying
it's the Taliban,
but these guys
are getting trucked in
from Pakistan, Syria...
They're cleansing
everything, Mike.
[radio screeches]
MIKE: This guy is risking
his family's life for us.
It may not mean anything to you,
but it does to me.
I need help.
[soft, tense music playing]
-Let me see what I can do.
[phone dial beeps]
-[indistinct radio chatter]
Just showed up.
[radio screeches]
-We made it very clear.
We told them to evac
the area immediately.
He says he's leaving
tomorrow morning.
-Tell them to get
on the road right now.
-He says he's not leaving
until he evacuates everyone
from the village.
-Hold up, hold up.
All right, there is
a SOCOM operation
in a village in Kunar.
Let me see
if I can move them.
Get you an escort
and extraction.
-[sighs] Thank you.
[phone receiver
clicks into cradle]
Thank you.
[radio screeches]
MAN: [over radio]
This is filing with me.
Soldiers...
[indistinct radio chatter]
-All right,
I need that intel, Mike.
What do you got for me?
-Roger that.
All told, I've got
six of them traveling...
-Yeah. Hit me.
-Logan. Make sure
you get all the drives.
-The Reverend
Mathew William Walters,
white male, age 45.
His wife Rasheeda Walters,
female, 41, born in Kabul,
Afghanistan,
naturalized American in '07
when wed to Walters.
And their kids.
-All right.
-William Arthur Walters,
male, age 13...
and Zoe Elizabeth Walters,
female, age five.
[radio screeches]
They got their support staff,
Rami Ahmadi
and Majida Ibrahimi.
-[rapid gunfire]
-'K.
SECRETARY:
Come on, guys. We gotta go.
[radio screeches]
-We got all six
traveling right now
in a dark green '93 Trooper.
-Hey.
You watch yourself over there.
[phone receiver clicks]
SECURITY:
Sir, we're out of clock.
We gotta move.
-[indistinct radio chatter]
showed up.
-Commander Johns, I've got
six American missionaries
traveling through
the Kunar Province.
They're in a green
Trooper.
They were making a run
for the Pakistani border.
We just heard from them.
They got turned around
and they're lost.
We need to send a unit
to link up with them ASAP.
[indistinct radio chatter]
MAN: [over radio]
[indistinct] with me, please.
We need help.
We need help, please.

Castle, this is Warhorse One.
This is Chief Mirko.
We have a helo down.
I say again,

Do you have eyes
on our position, how copy?
MIRKO: [over comms]
We have a helo down.
CASTLE: Guys.
MIRKO: [over comms] I say again,
we have a helo down.
Do you have eyes
on our position, how copy?
-Roger, Warhorse,
this is Castle.
We are tracking your position
via UAV. Over.
-I was separated from the helo
when we were hit,
but I am on my feet.
I am good to go.
I have contacted my team.
I get no comeback on comms.
Are there any guns
up at the crash site?
[comms screeches]
I say again, is anyone moving,
how copy?
-Solid copy, Warhorse.
We have eyes
on the crash site
due east
of your current position.
It looks like
the helo broke up on impact.
We have no observable movement
on FLIR or comms
coming from the crash site.
Over.
I say again, the crash site
is due east of your POS.
Over.
[emotional music playing]
How copy? Over.
-Solid copy, Castle.
I am moving to the crash site
to verify.
I've got tangos at 500 meters
to the north.
They are pushing the crash site.
I am moving to intercept.
Over.
CASTLE: [over comms]
Negative, Warhorse.
I say again, the helo
broke up on impact.
Disengage.
-Negative, Castle.
Those are my men in that helo,
and if there are any survivors,
I'm not leaving them
up here to die.
-You have a significant
aggressor force
advancing from your northeast.
Disengage!
We have no movement,
no signatures,
no guns up, you have
no close air support.
Disengage,
fall back, find cover.
[RPG fires, explosion]
REECE:
Oh, they hit them again.
-I'm moving to intercept.
I'm going to pull them
off the crash site.
Mirko out!
-Negative, Warhorse.
Disengage.
Somebody get me Johns!
[intense music playing]
Go get 'em, Master Chief.

And they are moving quickly
on your position.
Over.

-Master Chief, this is Johns.
Do you copy?
Mirko, do you copy?
-Commander.
COMMANDER JOHNS:
[over comms] Master Chief,
you have seconds here and
they're evaporating fast.
We're looking at
the crash site right now.
Your team is gone.
I don't see anybody
moving down there.
You're on your own, son.
Either you break contact
and get moving...
or you're going to die
on that mountain.
-I can live with that.
I can live with that.
-Yeah, but I don't want to, son.
I don't need to lose
all my guys today.
Fall back,
come back here, re-group,
and we'll go back in
and bring our boys home.
You owe them that.
How copy?
[rapid gunfire]
COMMANDER JOHNS: [over comms]
Understand, Master Chief?
Mirko, do you copy?
-Copy, Commander.
[rapid gunfire]
Falling back. Mirko out.

-Lieutenant. Reece!
Get Vanzant on the horn.
Find out about assets for a QRF.
I want my frogman

You see that?
That's where it's safe.
-Up there?
-Yeah, and my friends

You can take this one.
-Papa says
guns don't solve problems.
-Yeah.
That's why
you always carry a knife.
-He told me you can't fight
evil stuff with evil stuff.
-Kid,
I'm one of the good guys.
Those guys back there
that hurt your papa,
those are the bad guys.
-Why,
because they're Muslims?
-I don't care
what they believe in.
If you're intentionally
killing innocent people,
then you're the bad guys.
Come on. We gotta go.

-Okay. What is it?
-It's a bad thing.
When that pin comes out,
it sets this fuse off
that detonates this bomb.
-Oh.
-[makes exploding sound]
Listen, no matter what you see,
or what you hear,
if I put you somewhere,
you stay there
and you stay quiet.

'Cause of the bad guys?

Yeah, because of the bad guys.

I'm just going to go take

CASTLE: [over comm] [indistinct]
[comms screeching]
-Bad comms. Over.
-Roger. Command needs a sit rep.
What's your status?
-I have a heavy aggressor
force hunting me and my AO.
I need immediate evac. Over.
-Roger that. What is your
current pos?
-I am one kilometer past Giants
pushing to Raiders.
I have one mission objective.
I say again, I have one
small objective,
need immediate extraction.
How copy?
CASTLE: [over comm] Good copy on
the objective, updating now.
We have no air assets
available in theater.
Looking for birds
to allocate your direction
but you will have to stand by.
We are dealing with
heavy TIC at this time.
-Roger that.
I'll wait for further. Over.
CASTLE: [over comm]
We understand the urgency
of your situation.
You will have to stand by.
Hold what you got,
and we will contact you
no later than zero six
with exfil, how copy?
-Oh six hundred, Castle?
-Affirmative, Warhorse.
That's the best
we can do at this time.
MIRKO: [over comm]
Roger that, Castle.
Advise if you can
implement sooner.
Warhorse One out.
-Roger. Castle out.
-Reece,
what's the word on Vanzant?
-No word yet, sir.
-Give me a phone.
I'll call him myself.
[cracks]
[leaves rustle]
[zipper zipping]
-Whatcha doing?
-A little surprise
for the bad guys.
Come on, it's time to rack out.
-Are we going to die?
-No, we're going to
be just fine.
We just have to make it
to the top of that mountain.
-How did you know
I was here?
-We were in the area
looking for someone.
-Looking for a bad guy?
-Yeah, looking for
a bad guy.
Then we got the redirect
that your family
was trying to escape the area,
so we came looking for you.
-We?
-Yeah, my friends and I.
-Where are your friends now?
-Our helicopter
was shot down.
-What about you?
-I fell out
before it crashed.
-You fell from the sky?
Like an angel?
-[soft chuckle]
I'm no angel.
-You're my angel.
[gentle music playing]
I hope the bad guys
don't get us.
-They won't.
Time for bed, kid.
-Can you tell me a story?
-A story, huh?
What kinda story?
-I like superheroes.
-Superheroes, huh?
I got a hero story for ya.
It's about the bravest man
I've ever met.
Aziz Latiri.
He was a Muslim.
One day...
-No, once upon a time.
-Okay.
Once upon a time,
in a faraway place
called Kirkuk,
me and my friends
were pinned down
and surrounded by enemies.
And it didn't look good for us.
I didn't think we were
gonna make it out.
And all of a sudden,
a truck pulled up,
and a guy jumped out,
a peshmerga fighter,
and he gave us cover
and allowed me and my friends
to get outta there.
At first I thought
he was just crazy.
And then I realized
he was just really brave.
He saved our lives that day.
Rest your soul, Aziz.
Rest your soul.

[Hawk helicopter whirring]
COMMANDER KREIGER:
[over comms] Team Warhorse.
Change of plans, boys.
Robin Hood is a push.
We have a new objective.
We need an immediate

heading east on Nangala Road.
Six friendlies.

Grip it tight.
That way,
in case you gotta swing,
it won't fall outta your hand.
When you're ready to throw it,
loosen your grip,
imagine you're
cutting through your target,
and drive the tip of that blade
right into the center
of that target.
Got it?
-Ha!

-Better.
[plucks combat knife]
Now try it with this.

she would get me a real Louie.
I miss Mama.
-I know.
-I know she's not sleeping.
[fly buzzes]
She's gone,

Tell me when and where

thousands of my brothers.
Civilians.
Innocent women, children.
For what?
For the poppies, the pipelines?
Or just another financed

to kill shitheads like you.
-Afghanistan
is the graveyard of empires.

Alexander, the Khans,
the Persians, British,

You American scum.

are worth dying for.
I could never replace
the family she lost,

I got your message.
We're just a little bit busy
around here right now.
What can I do for you?
[wings flapping]
-Yeah, Dave. Listen,
I need your help.
[radio screeching]
I need you to help me to
get a group of missionaries
out of Pakistan.
-Missionaries? Come on, Mike.
I've got thousands of people
trying to escape the country.
Three administrations
we kept this thing together,
and this one
just wants to walk away
and let the enemy
take over the country.
So now they're hitting
us with everything they've got,
just as we're trying to pull out
and claim some kind of victory.
-I... I know.
I know.
[radio screeches]
-You can't tell me that these
people didn't know the risks
when they went in there.
Look, you're just
going to have to tell them
to bag it up and get out.
-They're Americans.
-Americans? Americans.
[radio screeches]
-This ministry brought
this guy and his family over
here to start a church
in this little village
called Sarad.
We've been using them
to coordinate the evacuation
of these ANSF interpreters.
But they just...
they stayed too long.
[radio screeches]
[indistinct radio chatter]
-Mike...
look, you didn't
hear this from me,
but they're pushing hundreds
of insurgents into that area.
They've already
hit the embassy
in Cabel,
government buildings,
police stations.
They're even trying to dig
into the surrounding villages.
It's like the
TET offensive out there.
The media is saying
it's the Taliban,
but these guys
are getting trucked in
from Pakistan, Syria...
They're cleansing
everything, Mike.

MIKE: This guy is risking
his family's life for us.
It may not mean anything to you,

from the village.
-Hold up, hold up.

I got a hero story for ya.
It's about the bravest man
I've ever met.
Aziz Latiri.
He was a Muslim.
One day...
-No, once upon a time.
-Okay.
Once upon a time,
in a faraway place
called Kirkuk,
me and my friends
were pinned down
and surrounded by enemies.
And it didn't look good for us.
I didn't think we were
gonna make it out.
And all of a sudden,
a truck pulled up,
and a guy jumped out,
a peshmerga fighter,
and he gave us cover
and allowed me and my friends
to get outta there.
At first I thought
he was just crazy.
And then I realized
he was just really brave.
He saved our lives that day.
Rest your soul, Aziz.

cutting through your target,
and drive the tip of that blade
right into the center

For the poppies, the pipelines?

Whether it's fate,

But what happened
that day changed me.
I lost a piece of myself
that day.
But I also gained something.
Someone.
Someone who reminded me
that the things in life
worth living for...
are worth dying for.
I could never replace
the family she lost,
but Louie and I
will do our best.
She's my everything now.
She's my family.
And for the brothers
I lost that day...
for them,
there will be a reckoning.
