:17:02
Make no mistake about it, gentlemen.
We are now in harm's way.
:17:06
For Major Baxter and I, this is the last
campaign in a career dating back...
:17:10
to Tet '68.
:17:12
Likewise for Captain Hendrix
and Gunnery Sergeant Crisp,
:17:15
who cut their teeth
under my command in Desert Storm.
:17:19
Capt. Frye, Capt. Darrow, this is my
first operational situation with you...
:17:22
and your men, and I have to say thus far
your conduct reflects your reputations.
:17:25
- Thank you, General.
- Thank you, sir.
:17:27
We have achieved our position
through poise, precision and audacity.
:17:30
To this we must
now add resolve.
:17:33
We'll be branded as traitors;
the gravest capital crime.
:17:36
Punishable by death.
:17:39
Couple hundred years ago, a few guys
named Washington, Jefferson and Adams...
:17:43
were branded as traitors
by the British.
:17:47
And now they're called
patriots.
:17:50
In time, so shall we.
:17:53
God willing, in less than 48 hours we
will evacuate this island in gunships...
:17:57
under cover of hostages
and VX gas warheads.
:18:01
Your destination:
a nonextradition-treaty country.
:18:04
You will each be paid a fee
of $ 1 million for services rendered.
:18:09
But you can never again
set foot on your native soil.
:18:12
- Can you live with that?
- [All] Yes, sir!
:18:16
The men of Marine Force Recon
are selected...
:18:19
to carry out illegal operations
throughout the world.
:18:23
When they don't come home, their
families are told fairy tales
about what happened to them...
:18:28
and denied compensation.
:18:32
Well, I have choked
on these lies my entire career.
:18:35
Well, here and now
the lies stop!
:18:43
God be with all of you.
Man your positions, men.
:18:48
[Phone Ringing, Receiver Clanking]
:18:50
This is FBI Director Womack.
:18:53
Director... be advised,
:18:56
81... I say again,
:18:59
81 civilians are under my control
as of this moment.
