A growl?

He heard a growl?

Well...

...he didn't say the word "growl."

He said, "a throat noise."

But I asked him to imitate it,

and it sounded like a growl to me.

We're obviously up against

a significant military presence here.

Well, let's send in the rest of the men.

Absolutely not.

Those bastards are just waiting

for us in there.

No.

We don't fall for an ambush.

Colonel...

...my daddy always said:

"When you want to insert a nail

into a piece of wood...

"...you don't do anything

fancy or glamorous.

"Just take the damn hammer

and hit the son of a b*tch till it's in."

What exactly does that crap mean

in English, Captain?

Withdraw your men.

Load them up with heavy artillery.

At night, they'll go back and pound

that place with mortars, rockets, cannons...

...everything we got...

...from a safe distance.

It ain't fancy...

...but it will sure take care

of your hostile military force.

All right, do it. Withdraw the men.

Push really hard, okay? Hard.

They killed him, didn't they?

How do you know they'll be back?

Because they're soldiers, sir...

...like me.

- Why are they doing this?

- They're obeying orders, sir.

It's their duty.

Do you know how many they'll be?

Seventeen more, sir.

You can't fight 17 on your own.

You have to organize us.

We're not cowards.

We'll do as you tell us.

- We'll fight.

- No.

Why not?

Soldiers deserve soldiers, sir.

But one soldier...

...against 17?

What are you going to do?

I'm going to kill them all, sir.

Crawlers 1 and 2...

...proceed to settlement...

...and commence bombardment.

Crawler 1, we are red.

We are red.

Crawler 2 to Crawler 1:

- Report.

- Crawler 2, we are two down.

Responding to sniper activity.

Crawlers 1 and 2, split up.

Crawler 1, locate and neutralize the sniper.

Caine 607...

...proceed to the settlement

and commence bombardment.

Roger, 1. We're proceeding to target.

Crawler 1, deploying ground forces.

All units...

...report.

438, negative.

515, negative.

523, negative.

Squad 1, to your 9:00!

Squad 2, stand by with covering fire!

Enemy sniper at 12:00!

Sniper located!

- Ambush!

- Retreat!

I think we have to assume

that the missing men are down.

Maybe you should've made them smart

instead of fast.

Squad 1, do you copy?

Squad 2, do you copy?

Squad 3, do you copy?

607 to Command.

1.5 clicks from settlement.

Will engage enemy in two minutes.

Roger, 607.

Crawler 1 to Command.

We have lost radio contact

with all ground units.

We are still searching for the sniper.

Crawler 2 to Crawler 1. Come in, 1.

One.

Two to one. Take your port to our 9:00

and commence firing.

Affirmative, 2.

Port to 9:
00 and commence firing.
