[dog barking]
[vehicle approaching]
- Ah... Thanks for the ride. - Get going. No time for breakfast.
Are you working?
Yeah, l'll be at the station all day, so hitch a ride home.
- You got practice today? - After that, we're on double time.
[man] Triple.
You should be ashamed! You'd think they'd take it down.
Come on, bud. You lost a football game once yourself.
- What? l don't remember! - l do.
l think you're lying! l never know when to believe your mouth!
Likewise.
- Later, bud. - See you, Jed.
- So did you do your history? - Yeah. Some of it.
[teacher] The Great Hunt would always begin
with the armies spread out
in a semi-circle... l would say about the size of Rhode lsland.
Then they would ride forward
driving everything before them.
Beasts,
men,
even bugs.
Now, the ends would kinda close in to form a shrinking circle.
And everything within that circle panicked to get out.
So when the Mongols could see each other
they had worked themselves up into a pretty good frenzy.
Now, when this killing started
it lasts for days, weeks,
even months.
And it went on
until the young son of the Khan
asked his father that the last creature alive...
[low rumbling]
...be allowed to...
...go free.
Well, now, my friend.
Well, now.
[boy] Check it out.
- [indistinct chatter] - [men shouting]
[boy 2] They look pretty cool, though, man.
[teacher] l would say they were way off course.
This is very unusual.
[speaking foreign language]
[boy] You do something, Mr. Teasdale.
[speaking foreign language]
[boy] He wants to see their hall pass.
[speaking foreign language]
What's going on here, my friend?
[speaking foreign language]
[screaming]
[indistinct shouting]
[all screaming]
[man grunts]
Come on, let's go!
[indistinct shouting]
Get in!
Get down, get down!
- Get in! - Wait! Hey!
Get down!
- Run! - Come on! Get in!
Stay down!
What is he doing?
- [explosions] - [shouting]
[distant gunfire]
[speaking foreign language]
iArturo!
[speaking foreign langauge]
iPapá! iPapá!
Get down! Get down!
No! My father's back there!
[boy] Dad! Dad!
- What's happening? - They're shooting at everybody!
- Shooting? - [jet engine roaring]
We're going to the mountains! We're getting out of here.
[man] Who are they, near as you can tell?
- l heard some of 'em speaking Spanish. - [man] Did you see any of 'em?
- With Spain? - l want to stay with you.
[explosion]
- [man] Who are they? - Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Boys, get in there, and get sleeping bags and food.
Right now. Come on.
Hurry up, boys. Come on, son.
- [man] Take the dry stuff! - [boy] Get the dehydrated stuff!
[boy 2] Plenty of Kleenex! Somebody get some lanterns!
[boy 3] And grab some toilet paper! l ain't gonna use no leaves!
[overlapping chatter]
[man] Take a lot of batteries! All the batteries you can carry!
- Take the shotgun there. - [boy] Get those jackets.
Matt, look!
Get down, get down, get down!
- [helicopter approaching] - Lay down!
ls it ours?
l love you, Dad. Tell Mom l love her.
- Yeah. - l'll take care of him.
[man] All right, come on, boys, just get outta here!
And don't come back here. No matter what you see or hear, don't come back!
l'll come and get you soon enough.
Open the glove compartment.
- ls it there? - Yeah.
Load it.
- lt's already loaded. - Give it here.
- You want these also, Jed? - Yeah, put 'em in my pocket.
[Jed] Jesus Christ!
- Oh, my God! - Oh, Jesus! Oh, Jesus!
l'm gonna turn off quick!
- [shouting] - [gunfire]
[horn honks]
[boy] lt's a helicopter!
- lt's ours! - [all cheering]
Get in! Get in!
- Did you get it? - Yeah.
l got it. Only thing is, we got one problem.
We don't have any water.
How about pissing in it?
[laughs]
- That's a good idea. Get up here. - How do you know it'll work?
- How old are you, kid? - Fifteen.
And the name's Danny, not kid.
Well, when you... grow up, you'll know these things, Danny.
Now get up here and piss in the radiator!
- [men speaking foreign language] - [helicopter approaching]
[gunfire]
[explosion]
- [gunfire] - [men speaking foreign language]
[speaking Spanish] We've got Yankee tanks coming in from the plains.
We've lost most of our night vision
and have only a few anti-tank missiles left.
[speaking Spanish] Put your best men into hunter groups
armed with RPG's.
Have your men dig holes 100 meters apart.
Wait until the Yankees approach to strike
then attack them in force.
Yes, Colonel Bella.
l want some anti-aircraft here.
We're working on it, sir.
This... This is a madhouse!
Do you want to see me?
Yes... Yes. Go to the sporting goods store.
From the files, obtain form 4473.
These will contain descriptions ofweapons
and lists of private ownership.
[Danny] But our families, huh? What about them? Huh?
We gotta stay up here and hide a while.
l just wanna go home.
l don't wanna hide. lf l hide, they'll never find me.
Check it out.
lt stopped a bullet that would've... hit somebody.
l got these.
Those'll do us a lot of good!
We've got no radio!
How long do you think we can survive up here on olives and Rice Krispies?
What else are we gonna do?
As Calumet Student Body President, I...
...l forward the motion that we give ourselves up.
l second the motion! We can't stay here. We need stuff and...
Sit down, Danny!
You're not going anywhere. lt's too dangerous to go into town.
- l say we vote on it. - No.
This isn't the big game, Mr. Quarterback!
- He can go wherever he wants! - No.
You're such a goddamn jock!
Hey, come on, guys, knock it off.
You wanna go so bad? Here, haul ass, take your shit!
[panting] That goes for the rest of you!
This is your chance. Get walking.
lt is World War lll down there.
People are being killed.
Those could be Russians.
Jed, what about your family?
Huh?
l don't know.
But l'm alive... and l'm staying here.
My family would want me to stay alive.
Your family would want you to stay alive.
l mean, you think you're so smart, man, but you're just a bunch of scared kids!
What do you think you are?
Alone, I guess.
No, you're not.
Hey, bud.
What do you say?
[chuckles]
- l'm with you. - [Jed] All right.
Now the rest of you get going.
All right.
But if you stay, you're gonna do exactly what l say, OK?
- Huh? - Yeah.
So come on over here and get warm.
Daryl.
Sorry.
Me, too, man.
OK.
Now, Matt and l have been coming up
to these mountains with our dad all of our lives.
We can hunt, we can fish, we can stay up here a long, long time.
OK?
- How long, Jed? - [jet flying overhead]
Until we don't hear that no more.
- [gunshot] - l got him!
You got him.
- We're gonna eat good. - He's still breathing!
No, no, no! Never shoot twice!
- Why? - lf you shoot twice, they can find you.
- He's dead anyway. - How do you know?
l used to read a lot about Jedediah Smith and Jim Bridger.
The Blackfeet, if you shot twice, would know right where you were.
My dad named me after Jed Smith.
This is your first time, isn't it?
Yeah. Why?
You gotta drink if it's your first. We did.
What's it taste like?
lt's not too bad.
lt's kinda salty, like a steak or when you got a nosebleed.
You gotta do it, Robert. lt's the spirit of the deer.
When you drink it, you'll be a real hunter.
Bottoms up.
Go. Go ahead.
Go, go for it, buddy!
All right! All right!
You did it, man.
[laughs]
His blood is yours. My dad said that, once you do that,
there's gonna be something different about you. Always.
lt wasn't so bad.
lt wasn't that bad.
lt wasn't so bad.
That's the last of it, except for the olives.
We still got plenty of meat left.
Just stuff you shot.
So, tell me, dork, where do you suppose hamburgers come from?
Nobody shoots them!
We need food.
We need to know.
Yeah.
We do.
All right.
We'll go into town.
[Jed] Jesus!
There's no one here, either.
Looks like it's been here for a thousand years.
[bird calling]
Come on.
[Robert] Hey. Those stores are open.
There's people everywhere. Maybe it's over.
- Get down! - Hey! Don't go anywhere.
Those aren't our troops.
You can't tell from here, Jed.
Jesus Christ!
[Jed] What is that? l never seen a tank like that before.
[Matt] l don't know.
[Robert] They're packed. That means something.
[Jed] Let's stash our stuff.
- Leave it all here, OK? - [Matt] Good idea.
That's the mayor's car!
They got Daryl's dad's car!
Look at the size of that tank!
Jesus!
Lewis. Lewis. How you doing?
Was he scared of us?
Hey, let's ask Alicia. She'll know.
Six toothbrushes, please.
- Oh! Oh, Jed! - Hi, how's your sister?
Where did you come from?
The mountains. We've been hiding...
Are you crazy? You gotta get outta here!
We will, but first we gotta find out what's going...
You don't understand.
They know who all of you are. They're looking for you.
Who?
The KGB!
- The Russians? - And the Cubans!
Cubans.
Look, have you seen my father? l called, there was no answer.
l went by the station, it was empty.
OK, listen.
l'm gonna tell you something l'm not supposed to talk about.
Nobody is, but...
But what?
But they took a lot of people away. People they thought would make trouble.
People that had guns or things they wanted. They just took them away!
Where?
Re-education camps, they call it.
The drive-in. l heard they took a lot of people...
Jed!
l pray for you.
[man over PA] America is a whorehouse
where the revolutionary ideals of your forefathers
are corrupted and sold in alleys by vendors of capitalism.
You grow fat on the flesh offreedom fighters...
- [PA continues] - [people shouting]
[indistinct chatter, shouting]
- [Jed] Hey. - Yeah?
Could you find my dad, Tom Eckert? l'm Jed.
Jed.
- Matt? - Mr. Barnes?
l'll go find your dad. l know right where he is.
Hey! Do you know Morris' Market, out on the highway?
Can you see if Mr. Morris is in there, too?
l'll look around for him, too, son.
[PA continues indistinctly]
[woman sobbing]
Daddy?
lt's all right. l can stand up.
Boys.
Matty.
Jed.
[Matt] Daddy?
Don't talk, don't say anything. Let me look at you.
Yeah. l knew l was right.
l knew it.
You're alive.
l was tough on both of you.
l did things that made you...
...that made you hate me sometimes.
But you understand now, don't you?
What happened, Dad? Why are you here? What did they do?
Doesn't matter.
One way or another...
...for one reason or another, we're all gone.
lt's all gone.
[dog barking]
Remember...
Remember when you used to go in the park and play?
And I used to put you on the swings?
And both of you were...
...so damn little...
l remember. l remember all of it.
l ain't gonna be around to pick you up when you fall now.
Both of you gotta take care of each other now.
We'll never see you again, Dad.
Yes, you will. l don't wanna hear that, Matty.
[sobbing] What happened to Mom, Dad? Where is she?
We can't afford to be crying anymore now.
l don't want either one of you to ever cry for me again.
Don't ever do it.
Not as long as you live.
Where's my dad, Mr. Eckert?
l don't know, son.
l don't know.
You all get going now. Get out before they find you.
Dad.
l love you.
l know you do, son. l love you, too.
l know.
- [PA continues indistinctly] - [sniffles]
- Boys! - [dog barking]
Avenge me!
Come on.
l'll be damned! lt is you!
Mr. Mason, how are you doing? Good to see you!
How you doing, Mr. Mason? Mrs. Mason!
- l'll get you boys some soup. - We got us some outlaws here.
l'll take these guns.
Wow, a house!
l'll go on and find you a chair.
Last time we were in a house was five weeks!
You look it!
Who you got out there with you?
We got Danny, we got Daryl...
[chuckles]
Well, we all figured you boys had headed for FA by now.
What's FA?
Free America. That's the safe zone.
Where are we?
Hell, you boys is in occupied territory.
You're 40 miles behind enemy lines.
That's smack-dab in the middle of World War lll.
What are you boys doing fooling around town, anyway?
We've been looking for news, Mr. Mason.
We haven't even seen or talked to anybody since it all started.
Now wait here just a minute.
l wish there was more.
Sorry.
Thank you, Mrs. Mason. We really appreciate this.
Here, this'll keep you boys warm.
Use this to see where you're standing from now on.
A radio? Mr. Mason, we can't take this.
Now, that's all right. l got another one.
You boys listen to me.
Don't go to Calumet no more.
How come?
Because there's been some attacks up there.
There have been people waking up with their throats cut.
Word has it, it's you.
- No! - [Matt] We didn't do a thing.
What happened to my dad and mom?
Your daddy's dead, Robert.
- They shot him. - [sobbing]
Russians found some guns missing,
so they... shot him for aiding guerrillas.
[Robert sobbing]
What do you mean, aiding guerrillas? He never aided anybody!
We just took the stuff!
We killed him!
They killed him, son. Made him an example.
Now, you boys listen to me and let that burn in real good.
[Mr. Mason] l don't know where your mother is, Robert.
l ain't got nobody now!
You boys need food, a bed, you need anything, you come here.
l... got a couple of heirlooms l wanna hide with you.
Jack, no!
[Mr. Mason] My granddaughters.
They spent two days sneaking here.
The sons of bitches tried having their way with 'em!
Toni, Erica.
This is Matt and Jed Eckert. They're gonna take care of you.
And I don't wanna know where they're going.
Bye, Grandpa.
Mr. Mason.
Yes. Thank you.
Well, Mr. Mason...
Good luck, son.
Here. Here's a box of ammo for your granddaddy's pistol.
- Thanks. - Good luck to you.
l'll take care of 'em. Don't you worry.
[woman on radio] It's 1 1:59 at Radio Free America,
and this is Uncle Sam with music and the truth until dawn.
Right now I've got a few words for some of our brothers and sisters
in the occupied zone.
The chair is against the wall. The chair is against the wall.
John has a long moustache. John has a long moustache.
lt's 12 o'clock, Americans. Another day closer to victory.
And for all of you out there on or behind the lines, this is your song.
- [music plays] - [sobbing]
Things are different now.
They're coming up!
Yeah.
Let's go tell the others.
[speaking Russian] Oh, how beautiful.
Ah. What is written here?
You studied English. Translate.
American history. l know this well.
Um... [clears throat]
"Arapaho National Battlefield.
Here was a great peasant uprising
in 1908 ofwild lndians.
They were crushed by President Theodore Roosevelt,
leading imperialist armies and cowboys.
The battle lasted all winter. More than 35,000 were killed.
lt was the greatest battle of the American West."
Bravo!
Yuri, stay here. l'll take a photo of you.
African baboon.
Now you.
Come here, my friend.
Hurry up, you fool.
[soldier] Look at me, Yuri.
Look. Look what l've found. An arrow.
An Indian arrow.
l did not know the lndians used steel.
Sure, you fool, they used the melted sabers of Federalist Cossacks.
What a philosopher you are.
Did these lndians work in plastic, too?
You idiot, this is bone, polished to a high sheen. There must be more.
[man] Look.
[speaking English] Girl, what are you doing?
[speaking Russian] Watch out! She has a weapon.
Stop, damn it!
- [gunfire] - [man shouts in Russian]
Quickly. Catch him!
[whimpering]
Take cover!
[speaking Russian] Stop!
[screams]
Help me, comrades.
- Grab him! - Ah!
- l got him! - [shouts]
l'm dying.
Ah!
[panting]
[grunts]
[speaking Russian] God help me!
God help me!
[gunshot]
[bird calling]
They were people.
Yeah, well, so was my dad.
What was it like?
lt was good.
One thing's for sure now.
No one can ever go home again.
Never.
Why don't you make yourself useful?
You wash it! We ain't ever doing your washing again!
Me and her is as good as any of you!
- So what's up your ass? - Shut up!
Don't you ever say that again!
Hear me? You say that again, l'll kill you!
Hear me?
l'll kill you!
So what did l do?
What you said was wrong.
[speaking Spanish] From now on
all troops are forbidden to travel
outside secured areas
in any group smaller than squad size.
Sí, Señor Bella.
Then call Bratchenko.
Tell him Sector Eight is now active.
Right away, Colonel Bella.
And I want some interrogations made,
starting with the mayor.
l'm sick of his... pleasantries.
Consider it done.
No. Daryl, he wouldn't hurt a fly.
Uh... He... l know my son, colonel.
He's not the guerrilla type.
According to records, mayor, your son is a prominent student leader.
Ah. Yes, well, he is a leader, but not in a violent or physical way.
No, you see, Daryl... he's more of a politician... [laughs] like his father.
A member of an elite paramilitary organization. Eagle Scout.
Ah. Yes, but that's not military.
Now, look, colonel, if he's alive, he's scared, he's hungry
and just as anxious to avoid conflict as you and me.
- He's not a troublemaker. - Then who is?
[clock chimes]
Well, let's just say it runs in some of the families.
[laughs]
This community's indeed fortunate to have a shepherd like him!
[laughing]
Well... l, uh, l just wanna see this thing through, colonel.
lf you have any more problems, you call me night or day.
Thank you.
We are finished...
...for now.

Don't cry!
Hold it back!
- Let it turn to something else. - [sobbing]
Just let it turn into something else, OK?
- No! - Listen.
Listen to me! Listen to me! Listen.
Don't cry. Don't you ever cry again as long as you live.
As long as you live, never do it.
Do you hear me?
[sobbing]
[Daryl] They're gonna kill us! All of us!
So why should we be different?
Let it turn to something else, Matty.
Let it turn... let it turn...
[bell dings]
[speaking Russian] Take gasoline.
[speaking Russian] Hey, girl, what are you doing here?
- Hey, beautiful, where are you going? - [shouts]
Forget the broad, just get her stuff.
Where are you going?
You're so beautiful. Wait. What's wrong with you?
[screaming]
Let's get her!
[screams]
[panting, whimpering]
Run! This way!

[speaking Russian]
Wolverines!
[speaking Russian] lt's cut! lt's cut!
Sniper!
Ah!
[speaking Russian]
[man shouting]
iUna granada!
[screams]
[speaking Spanish] l've seen this before.
Nicaragua, San Salvador,
Cambodia, Angola, and Mexico.
But these are my men!
[in Russian accent] Miss, maybe you speak at me for a minute.
Um, l'll be right back, OK?
- You bring girlfriend? - Yeah!
OK, l be right here. Bye.
[speaking Spanish] What is a Wolverine?
A small animal, like a badger, but terribly ferocious.
lt is also the name of the local school sports collective.
They're beasts, Ernesto.
You must kill every one of them eventually.
lt's the same as Afghanistan.
They'll never stop.
Look. l was always on the side of the insurgents.
l have no experience in these matters.
But it would seem necessary to win the support of the people.
As our opponents used to say in Vietnam:
"Win their hearts and minds."
And they lost, Ernesto.
Of course, general.
Things are paralyzed at the front, Ernesto.
Morale is crucial right now.
Keep the men in the secured areas.
You'll see how they forget about these Wolverines.
[man shouting]
[speaking Spanish] Are you all right?
You were saying, comrade?
Shut up!
[shouting]
Doctor!
[speaking Russian] What's going on here?
[jet passing overhead]
[explosion]
You American?
Red-blooded.
Yeah, well, what's the capital of Texas?
Austin.
- Wrong, commie! lt's Houston! - Please, darling. l'm cold.
You've seen too many movies.
Well, you hungry?
l could eat, yeah.
What kinda plane do you fly?
Well, l did fly an F-15.
Here.
l'm an Eagle driver.
Here. Take this.
l got this off a dead Russian major.
- Major, huh? - Yeah.
Well, l guess it ought to fit on a colonel.
Are you the honcho, sport?
Who are you?
Andrew Tanner, Lieutenant Colonel, US Air Force.
How'd you get yourself shot down, colonel?
lt was five to one. l got four.
- l'm Jed. - How ya doing, Jed?
Good as can be.
[chuckles]
All right.
West coast.
East coast. Down here is Mexico.
First wave of the attack
came in disguised as a commercial charter flight.
Same way they did in Afghanistan in '80, only they were crack airborne outfits.
They took these passes in the Rockies.
- So that's what hit Calumet? - l guess so.
They coordinated with selective nuke strikes,
and the missiles were a hell of a lot more accurate than we thought.
They took out the silos in the Dakotas. Key points of communication.
- Like what? - Oh, like Omaha,
Washington, Kansas City.
- Gone? - Yeah. That's right.
lnfiltrators came up illegal... from Mexico.
Cubans, mostly.
They managed to infiltrate the SAC bases in the Midwest,
several down in Texas, and wreaked a hell of a lot of havoc.
They opened up the door down here,
and the whole Cuban and Nicaraguan armies
come walking right through,
rolled right up here through the Great Plains.
- How far did they get? - Cheyenne. Across to Kansas.
We held them at the Rockies and at the Mississippi.
Anyway, the Russians reinforced with 60 divisions.
Sent three whole army groups across the Bering Strait into Alaska.
Cut the pipeline, came across Canada
to link up here in the middle, but we stopped their butt cold!
The lines have... pretty much stabilized now.
- What about Europe? - l guess they figured...
...twice in one century was enough.
They're sitting this one out. All except England.
And they won't last very long.
The Russians need to take us in one piece, and that's why they're here.
That's why they won't use nukes anymore and we won't, either.
The whole damn thing's pretty conventional now.
Who knows? Maybe... next week'll be swords.
What started it?
l don't know. Two toughest kids on the block, l guess.
Sooner or later they're gonna fight.
That simple?
Maybe somebody just forgot what it was like.
Well, who is on our side?
Six hundred million screaming Chinamen.
Last l heard there were a billion screaming Chinamen.
There were.
You got a family?
l don't know.
They got... caught behind the lines down in Texas.
l like to think they're alive, but...
...l hear stories about what they're doing to civilians.
- Colonel. Get up. - What?
We're taking off. We're gonna go shoot up an armored column.
Let's go. Early bird gets the worm.
Early bird gets the worm!
[gunfire, explosions]
[indistinct shouting]
Watch those claymores in the trees.
Matt, RPG!
Whoo! Yeah!
Good shot!
Now what do you think? Not bad for a bunch of kids, huh?
[chuckles] Your mom would be real proud.
You think you're tough for eating beans every day?
There's half a million scarecrows in Denver would give anything
for one mouthful ofwhat you got.
They've been under siege for about three months.
They live on rats and sawdust bread and sometimes...
...on each other.
[owl hooting]
At night the... pyres for the dead light up the sky.
lt's medieval.
All that hate's gonna burn you up, kid.
lt keeps me warm.
Colonel?
Are we doing right?
You made a new friend.
[chuckles]
Yeah.
She doesn't say much, does she?
No.
Something happened to her.
All right. Plane, plane, plane, plane.
Cuban bunker, Russian bunker, munitions dump, troop tents.
Machine-gun bunkers here, here, here, and here.
Back here by the drive-in screen are your political prisoners.
All right. We'll cause a diversion over here,
cut holes in the wire here, fire on all these machine-gun positions.
The B group comes across this area in a flanking maneuver.
When you reach this bunker, you lay down grazing fire on this defilade.
l think that's pretty simple.
- Anybody got any questions so far? - What's a flank?
- [girl] A defilade? - [boy] Yeah, what's grazing fire?
- l need a drink! - Why don't we just shoot right at 'em?
[over PA] Step into the...
[shouting indistinctly]
[speaking Spanish] Help! The Wolverines are attacking!
Follow me! Quickly!
Wolverines!
[shouting]
- Come on! - Move it! Take it! Go!
Come on! Move it! Get outta here!
- Come on, here's your chance! Move! - We're all gonna die! Die standing up!
Grenade!
[indistinct shouting]
Do svidaniya!
[soldier speaking Russian] Children did this.
lt's rebels.
What rebels? They're bandits.
Every time they shoot, the revolution grows.
l know. l was a partisan.
And what are you now?
Now l'm like you.
A policeman.
- All right, colonel! - [grunting]
[laughs]
- [Matt] Oh, get up, you big sissy! - [Robert] All right!
And he's down!
Great play, by Matt!
- Hey. - All right.
- Huddle up, folks. - All right.
That's a pretty good catch.
All right, you cover Matt this play.
Are you OK?
A little harder down on the ground, isn't it?
- Yeah! - Come on, old man. Come on.
Oh, no, you come down here!
- How old's your wife? - Huh?
How old's your wife?
Eighty!
- What's she like? - Old, like me.
What's she really like?
Feisty... like you!
Where'd you meet her?
- Do you really wanna know this stuff? - Yeah!
Yeah.
l met her in a closet at a party.
l couldn't stand her at first, but... once it took...
l loved her so bad it hurt.
You still love her like that?
Hey, you queers playing or what?
No!
Fine.
- Come on. - Good catch, Robert.
- All right, Matt, let's go! - Christ!
l told you to do a post pattern.
They brought their kids.
Said they didn't have food enough to feed 'em through the winter.
They want to give 'em to you, Jed.
This is enough, Mr. Mason. l don't want anymore.
You're a leader now. They've heard of you on the other side.
Maybe all the way to California.
And there's some that say
they're gonna drop in some Special Forces in the spring to help you out.
Green Berets.
Spring's a long time away.
lt's a lot of talk until then.
[explosions, gunfire]
lt's ours! lt's ours!
- How can you tell? - lt's ours.
- Yeah! - [explosions]
Fry 'em!
Jesus!
You gotta cross that.
Just part of it.
l hope our guys are still there.
So this is a battlefield, huh?
lt's a real war, kid.
lt's here every day.
Come with me, Jed.
You can quit now.
Could you?
Don't give me that crap!
Wake up in the morning.
Grow old.
[tank approaching]
Move it! Come on, move it, move it! Let's go, let's go!
[Jed] Get down!
Down, down, down, down, down!
[Andy] Stay down! He can't see us!
Get down, Robert!
[Robert] He's looking for us!
[Andy] He sure is.
[Robert whimpering] No! No!
l can't stand it! l can't stand it! Stop!
- Get down! - Get down! Get down!
Shut up! Get down!
[screaming, panting]
All right, run! Everybody get outta here!
[Jed] What are you doing? God damn it!
- [Andy grunts] - Christ!
[explosions]
- [Robert] l'm coming up there! - [gunfire]
l got it!
[Andy] Get outta here, kid!
There's a world of hurt coming down! Get out!
l'm staying with you, colonel!
Take him out with your RPG!
lt won't lock! lt won't lock!
Lock that son of a bitch!
Give me another rocket!
Ah!
Aardvark!
- Eat me! - [man screams]
- [grunts] - Ah!
Oh!
[moaning]
No! No!
- [grunting, moaning] - [explosion]
Come on, buddies, come and get 'em!
Shoot straight... for once...
- [explosion] - ...you army...
...pukes.
No!
lt's useless! He's dead!
Let's go! Go! Go!
[sobbing]
Ever love anybody?
l'll... never love anybody again!
lf you didn't love anybody you'd never even be here.
Where are we gonna bury 'em?
There's not much left to bury.
[sobbing] Oh, God. Oh, God.
These were good friends.
Take them away from here to someplace safe...
...where this world never happened.
And, as we remember...
...please let them forget, O Lord...
...so they can be little again.
Amen.
[Matt whispering] Jed.
- Jed. - What are you whispering for?
lt feels quiet.
You should get some sleep. lt's getting late.
l'm OK.
[Jed] lt's kinda strange, isn't it?
How the mountains pay us no attention at all.
You laugh or you cry.
The wind just keeps on blowing.
lt was bound to happen sooner or later.
Getting pretty lean on feelings, aren't you?
Can't afford 'em.
Even if that had been me?
l was talking to the group, Jed. lt doesn't look good.
They're all talking about quitting.
lt seemed like they lost the stomach for it.
Except for Robert.
And you?
l'm your brother.
Just make it count.
[Russian military march plays]
[speaking Russian]
[speaking Russian] Attention!
Be seated, comrades.
What l despise most about warfare is the hypocrisy it often breeds.
l've heard euphemisms that we are containing the enemy,
that our sector of pacification is growing.
These are the tactics of the lie.
Lies have the stench of death and defeat.
You can only win a war by exterminating the enemy.
Do you know who we are fighting?
[man coughs]
We are fighting Wolverines.
Small, ferocious animals.
For them, you need a hunter.
And you know... I am the hunter.
From this moment on,
there will be no further reprisals against civilians.
This is stupid.
lmpotence.
Comrades...
lf a fox stole your chickens,
would you slaughter your pig because he saw the fox? No.
You would hunt the fox.
Find where it lives and destroy it!
And how do we do this?
Become a fox.
[beeping]
[men screaming]
[man screams]
- [men screaming] - [explosions]
[gunshot]
Danny, your bolt's open. lt's jammed.
Danny! Hey!
- Sprechen Sie Deutsch? - So what if he does? You don't!
We'd better get out of here!
- [Erica] ¿Habla inglés? - Shoot him!
- What is this thing? - What is it?
Who's coming after us? Where are they?
Rub a butt on him!
Ah!
[in Russian accent] Suck at you! God damn for you mother!
l hear a chopper, and l'm gonna blow your brains out!
Go die, Yankee!
- Die! - God damn you...
Gorsky, Stepan Yevgenyvitch...
No one gives a damn who you are!
- They're gonna hurt him! - Good!
Hey, hey, hey, look!
This thing's got an arrow! lt's... lt's pointing.
- lt's... - Where?
Where? Where?
Right here.
[beeping]
Daryl...
[continues beeping]
Where is it?
God damn it, where's the bug?
- They made me swallow it. - Daryl, what have you done?
l went into town.
And got caught?
And went and got caught!
- Why? - Because you said we couldn't.
You told them where we were, didn't you?
You told them!
My father turned me in.
Oh, God, they did things you can't imagine!
[whimpering]
[wailing]
You son of a bitch!
Do you want blindfolds?
- This violates the Geneva Convention. - l never heard of it!
Dog face! l show you how Soviet dies!
- [Robert] l've seen it before, pal. - [Danny] This isn't happening!
- This isn't happening! Jed, let him go! - Shut up, Danny!
- He was one of us! - Shut up!
He told them where we were!
He did. Now get your rifles.
No!
- What did you say? - l said no! We're not doing it!
Boy, say at me you are friend, so l will not die alone.
What's the difference, Jed, huh?
- l'll do it. - [Matt] Shut up, Robert!
Tell me, what's the difference between us and them?
Because we live here!
Ah!
Don't shoot! Don't shoot me, Jed!
[sobbing] Don't shoot me, Jed!
[wailing]
[panting, sobbing]
- [gunfire] - Ah!
[sobbing, coughing]
[sobbing]
[bird calling]
How many of those you got left?
Four.
Ready...
No, wait! Stop!
What do you say? You hungry?
Yeah.
[clicking tongue]
[Jed whispers] Go, Toni!
[clicks tongue]
Let's get it fast and get back to the rock.
Come on.
[moaning]
lt's been so long.
[laughs]
Quiet, quiet, quiet!
[helicopter approaching]
- [gunfire] - Oh, my God!
- Holy shit! - Ah!
[Jed] Stay down!
Stay down!
Let's go! Get on your horses!
- Let's get outta here! - Move it! Come on!
Let's go!
Erica, come on! Get on! Come on!
- [Erica] Danny... - [Jed] Let's go! Let's go!
Come on!
[Matt] Come on, let's go!
Yah!
[Jed] Go on! Go on!
Toni!
[horse whinnies]
Wolverines!
l'm killed, Jed.
Don't let 'em get me.
'Cause they'll make me talk.
Where's your gun?
l want you to do it.
l can't.
l can't, Toni. l can't.
lt's OK.
Give me a grenade.
l don't wanna be too cold.
Pull the pin for me.
Go.
l'm just gonna stay here...
...and listen to the wind a while, OK?
Go.
[speaking Russian] Comrade Colonel.
[responds in Russian]
l would estimate the enemy body count at 12.
Twelve.
Wouldn't you agree?
Twelve?
l saw only one.
But they carry off their dead.
Of course. Why not?
What do you think?
[explosion]
[birds calling]
All right, listen to me.
You two wait here until the troops pull back into town.
You'll know when that happens. When they do, head out for the plains.
- What about you? - l gotta stick around
and stir things up a little bit so you can make it out.
- We're going with you, Matty. - No.
- We're going with you! - Will you listen to me?
We are... We are all that's left.
Somebody's gotta live. Somebody's gotta make it.
[sobbing]
Me and Jed, we're all used up.
[sobbing] No...
l'm never gonna forget.
As long as I live...
...l'll never forget.
Don't.
Matt...
...you're never gonna know who won!
Who will?
[Matt] You know, we could make it, Jed.
We've done a lot tougher than this before.
We could cause a diversion, get outta here, head back to the mountains.
l love you, Matty.
l know.
l love you too, Jed.
lt's hard being brothers, isn't it?
Yeah.
Let's go.
[voice-over in Spanish] I can't remember what it was to be warm.
It seems a thousand years since I was a small boy in the sun.
How did I come to this high, desolate place
where there is nothing but loneliness?
So much is lost.
I want to look into your eyes and forget.
It all seems so far away.
A warm house where my shadow never falls.
Your long, black hair in my hands.
There is no more revolution.
Only you to come back to.
I will post my resignation.
[explosion]
- [continued explosions] - [men shouting]
[men shouting]
[screaming]
[speaking Spanish]
[shouting in Spanish]
Ah!
Come on! Let's go, let's go!
[speaking Spanish]
[screaming]
[speaking Russian] They're attacking the station!
Everybody to the station!
[speaking Russian] Hurry, hurry!
[gunfire]
Uh!
You lose.
[screaming]
[coughs]
Vayan con Dios.
You can rest now.
Just hang on, Matty.
[panting]
Oh, Matty... lt's OK, Matty.
lt's OK. Just hang on, Matty.
Daddy'll be here soon, Matty.
Hang on, Matty.
Come on, Matty. Daddy'll be here soon.
[grunting]
lt's OK. Come on, Matty.
l'll hold you as long as l can, Matty. l'll hold you as long as l can!
You can lean on me.
l'm so tired.
So tired.
We're free now.
Free.
[Erica] I never saw the brothers again.
ln time this war, like every other war, ended.
But I never forgot.
And l come to this place often,
though no one else does.
"In the early days of World War III,
guerrillas, mostly children,
placed the names oftheir lost upon this rock.
They fought here alone
and gave up their lives...
...so that this nation shall not perish from the earth."
