The Sixth Fleet marines

Tell Mrs. Mourain to start packing.

We're going home.

Shall I indicate

we're ready to evacuate?

Ask them where the hell

are those helicopters!

The ambassador wants to know

where the choppers are.

You heard me.

Where the hell are the choppers?

Lock and load!

Lock and load!

Lock and load!

Lock and load!

We're gonna

Let's go for the evac.

Put it on deck.

We're going in the north side.

There! Go!

Nobody comes over those walls

or through those gates. Nobody!

One Alpha, secure all entries.

Incoming sniper fire!

- I'm Mrs. Mourain.

- Where's the ambassador?

- He's in there. Are we leaving?

The helos are outside, ma'am,

but that's up to the ambassador.

Stay away from

the windows, please.

Duck! Ow!

Aah! Colonel! Please!

My God! Are the helicopters here?

What kept you people so long?

We're ready to evacuate, unless you

want to stay and run the embassy.

I want to go right... now!

We called hours ago!

All right, sir, come to me.

Stay calm and come to me.

- Stay calm. Come to me. Stay low.

- We're like targets!

- We're sitting targets!

- Follow Sergeant Mac. Go!

Come on! Down there!

Down there! Right there!

Right there!

Down there! Down there!

Go ahead, ma'am!

Go ahead!

Go ahead, ma'am, go ahead!

Come on, son. Come on!

- What's your name, son? Justin?

-Justin.

Come on, Justin! Come on!

- Justin, what's that you got there?

- A flashlight.

We're gonna ride in a helicopter.

Wanna bring that with you?

- Huh? Come on. Come on!

- Mommy!

Let's go, ma'am, go!

Go, go, go!

All TRAP Unit six,

We got crap coming over the walls

and sniper fire at 100 meters. Over.

Stay low! Sit tight,

sit tight, sit tight!

Colonel, we got three marines hit!

One Alpha says they're gonna

try to breach the front gate!

- Tell them to wait out!

- Roger that!

Put the missus on board

first. Get in there, Mr. Ambassador.
