1
00:00:38,463 --> 00:00:39,963
<i>The air wing has a tradition:</i>

2
00:00:42,505 --> 00:00:44,705
<i>rookie pilot gets the ship
nobody else wants.</i>

3
00:00:47,630 --> 00:00:50,840
<i>In my flight group,</i>
<i>that ship was</i> Lucky Thirteen.

4
00:00:53,588 --> 00:00:55,418
<i>There was nothing wrong with her,
technically,</i>

5
00:00:55,505 --> 00:00:58,045
<i>but before they gave her to me,
she'd lost two crews.</i>

6
00:01:03,005 --> 00:01:04,955
<i>They recovered the ship and the dead...</i>

7
00:01:06,380 --> 00:01:07,630
<i>or what was left of them.</i>

8
00:01:09,421 --> 00:01:12,801
<i>A ship surviving when all her crew dies</i>
<i>is unusual, but </i>twice?

9
00:01:13,546 --> 00:01:15,376
<i>I'd never heard of such a thing before...</i>

10
00:01:16,296 --> 00:01:17,546
<i>or since.</i>

11
00:01:19,505 --> 00:01:22,005
<i>Then there was the matter of
her serial number:</i>

12
00:01:22,088 --> 00:01:25,798
<i>13-02313.</i>

13
00:01:26,671 --> 00:01:31,131
<i>It not only started and ended in 13,
the digits totaled 13.</i>

14
00:01:32,296 --> 00:01:34,546
<i>Pilots are a superstitious bunch.</i>

15
00:01:36,046 --> 00:01:37,086
<i>Lucky me.</i>

16
00:01:37,171 --> 00:01:38,171
Fuck.

17
00:01:39,213 --> 00:01:41,373
<i>She's all yours, Lieutenant.</i>

18
00:01:41,921 --> 00:01:44,631
Rookie's get the leftovers,
you know how that is.

19
00:01:46,088 --> 00:01:47,088
Aye-aye, sir.

20
00:01:50,213 --> 00:01:53,133
I took the liberty.
Hope you don't mind, ma'am.

21
00:01:54,505 --> 00:01:57,255
Chief Warrant Officer Jack Lee, ma'am.
Call sign "Jacko".

22
00:01:57,380 --> 00:02:00,210
Cutter, Colby. Good to meet you.

23
00:02:00,546 --> 00:02:02,546
Hope you're not letting the talk
get to you, ma'am.

24
00:02:02,963 --> 00:02:04,923
I'm not the superstitious type, Jack.

25
00:02:05,421 --> 00:02:06,551
It's just a machine.

26
00:02:06,713 --> 00:02:08,673
Well, you're wrong there, ma'am.

27
00:02:09,505 --> 00:02:12,755
Ships have personalities.

28
00:02:13,713 --> 00:02:15,553
None of them are just machines.

29
00:02:15,630 --> 00:02:17,630
<i>Thirteen</i> in particular.

30
00:02:30,296 --> 00:02:33,956
<i>Our first op, the enemy attacked
one of our terraform stations,</i>

31
00:02:34,046 --> 00:02:36,586
<i>so I'm hauling grunts planet-side
to check it out.</i>

32
00:02:39,255 --> 00:02:40,665
<i>They put me in </i>Thirteen <i>in front.</i>

33
00:02:41,463 --> 00:02:45,713
<i>If shooting starts, nine times out of ten,
it's the lead ship that doesn't come home.</i>

34
00:02:46,338 --> 00:02:47,878
<i>I tried not to dwell too much on that.</i>

35
00:02:47,963 --> 00:02:51,553
<i>Hen House, this is Lima One Three,
confirm LZ is clear. Over.</i>

36
00:02:51,630 --> 00:02:53,340
<i>Confirmed. Watch your sensors.</i>

37
00:02:53,421 --> 00:02:56,381
<i>AWACS tracking two T-28 stealth fighters
in your AO, running dark.</i>

38
00:03:02,963 --> 00:03:04,633
<i>LZ looks clear.</i>

39
00:03:04,713 --> 00:03:06,133
<i>The terraformer looks bent.</i>

40
00:03:06,213 --> 00:03:09,513
<i>Let's get this done.
Those T-28s show up, we're fucked.</i>

41
00:03:09,963 --> 00:03:11,303
Marines, five minutes.

42
00:03:11,380 --> 00:03:12,630
Condition one rifles.

43
00:03:12,713 --> 00:03:14,263
Condition one rifles!

44
00:03:15,296 --> 00:03:17,136
You know what ship
we're riding, right?

45
00:03:17,380 --> 00:03:19,760
It's not a ship,
it's a fucking coffin with wings.

46
00:03:20,213 --> 00:03:21,923
Marines, one minute.

47
00:03:22,005 --> 00:03:25,505
<i>First team, you got the ten to two.
Second team, you got the two to six.</i>

48
00:03:25,588 --> 00:03:27,918
<i>Third team, you got the six to ten.
Good to go?</i>

49
00:03:28,005 --> 00:03:30,705
- Oorah!
- Let's go!

50
00:03:31,713 --> 00:03:33,423
You, rear security.

51
00:03:36,963 --> 00:03:38,606
<i>Lima Squadron,
this is Henhouse.</i>

52
00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:40,960
<i>Detecting active radar emissions
from two T-28s,</i>

53
00:03:41,046 --> 00:03:42,506
<i>bearing 180 on your position.</i>

54
00:03:42,588 --> 00:03:44,298
Marines, fast movers incoming. To cover.

55
00:03:50,380 --> 00:03:52,800
<i>All hands, LZ is compromised.</i>

56
00:03:53,505 --> 00:03:55,045
<i>Return for immediate evac.</i>

57
00:03:56,296 --> 00:03:58,897
- What are you doing, Seven Zero?
<i>- Getting the fuck out of here!</i>

58
00:03:58,921 --> 00:04:00,961
You've still got men on the ground,
Jockey.

59
00:04:01,796 --> 00:04:02,796
God.

60
00:04:07,088 --> 00:04:10,258
All remaining units into <i>Thirteen,</i> now!

61
00:04:10,338 --> 00:04:12,298
Two squads of enemy grunts
in the brush,

62
00:04:12,380 --> 00:04:14,130
and those type 28s
are coming around again.

63
00:04:14,213 --> 00:04:16,843
<i>Henhouse, this is
Lima One Three. We are a no-go.</i>

64
00:04:16,921 --> 00:04:18,171
<i>Requesting air support.</i>

65
00:04:18,588 --> 00:04:19,628
<i>They're jamming us.</i>

66
00:04:20,130 --> 00:04:21,380
Fifteen seconds to intercept.

67
00:04:23,755 --> 00:04:25,205
Shit, we got one more.

68
00:04:26,005 --> 00:04:27,255
<i>Ten seconds to intercept.</i>

69
00:04:27,338 --> 00:04:29,548
- Not yet.
- Wait for me, God damn it!

70
00:04:29,630 --> 00:04:30,670
<i>I got you.
Come on.</i>

71
00:04:32,671 --> 00:04:35,091
<i>Oh, my God! Come on!</i>

72
00:04:35,255 --> 00:04:36,545
<i>Spike!</i>

73
00:04:37,713 --> 00:04:39,303
<i>- He's in.</i>
- Launching flares.

74
00:04:45,796 --> 00:04:48,376
- <i>Altitude! Pull up.</i>
- Cutter, you got this?

75
00:04:48,463 --> 00:04:50,463
<i>- </i><i>Altitude! Pull up.</i>
<i>- Cutter?</i>

76
00:04:50,546 --> 00:04:52,796
<i>Altitude! Pull up.</i>

77
00:04:54,963 --> 00:04:56,843
<i>I am shittin' diamonds here.</i>

78
00:04:59,505 --> 00:05:00,625
<i>Guns!</i>

79
00:05:03,213 --> 00:05:04,263
<i>Spike!</i>

80
00:05:07,046 --> 00:05:08,456
<i>Chaff. Flares.</i>

81
00:05:11,213 --> 00:05:12,593
<i>Jacko, take 'em out.</i>

82
00:05:12,796 --> 00:05:13,796
<i>Copy that.</i>

83
00:05:16,755 --> 00:05:18,505
No joy, Cutter.
These columns are too dense.

84
00:05:22,838 --> 00:05:26,508
<i>Proximity caution.</i>

85
00:05:27,630 --> 00:05:29,590
Jacko, shoot the columns.

86
00:05:40,046 --> 00:05:44,296
<i>- Cutter, they got a lock on us.
- Proximity caution.</i>

87
00:05:44,546 --> 00:05:46,166
Splash one, motherfucker.

88
00:05:48,755 --> 00:05:51,625
Straight ahead.

89
00:05:52,171 --> 00:05:53,301
Fuck, we're out of ammo.

90
00:05:58,713 --> 00:05:59,923
- <i>Cutter...</i>
- I got it.

91
00:06:15,296 --> 00:06:16,296
Pucker factor ten.

92
00:06:25,588 --> 00:06:27,508
Come on, boys.
First round's on Dave.

93
00:06:32,713 --> 00:06:34,343
I was wrong about you.

94
00:06:36,796 --> 00:06:38,716
<i>I was wrong about you.</i>

95
00:06:44,838 --> 00:06:45,838
Go!

96
00:06:46,088 --> 00:06:49,798
<i>I flew 19 more combat missions</i>
<i>with </i>Lucky Thirteen.

97
00:06:50,171 --> 00:06:52,761
<i>In all that time, not one casualty.</i>

98
00:06:52,838 --> 00:06:55,338
I have to admit, Lieutenant,
you've done good for yourself,

99
00:06:55,421 --> 00:06:57,671
even in this antique.

100
00:06:58,130 --> 00:06:59,130
Thank you, sir.

101
00:07:01,421 --> 00:07:02,781
<i>On three separate sorties,</i>

102
00:07:03,005 --> 00:07:07,335
Lucky Thirteen <i>was the only flight-ready</i>
<i>ship left at the end of the mission.</i>

103
00:07:07,421 --> 00:07:11,051
You know, there's a pair of new
Whiskey Blackhawks on the way.

104
00:07:11,963 --> 00:07:14,463
Feel like trading in this bucket of bolts?

105
00:07:15,755 --> 00:07:18,335
<i>She brought us home safely
every time.</i>

106
00:07:18,713 --> 00:07:20,593
<i>Even when ground fire was so thick,</i>

107
00:07:20,671 --> 00:07:23,671
<i>you could step from the cockpit
to the ground on shrapnel shards.</i>

108
00:07:23,755 --> 00:07:26,505
I do appreciate that, sir,
but she's <i>my </i>"bucket of bolts."

109
00:07:26,963 --> 00:07:29,283
<i>And she always takes care of me.</i>

110
00:07:31,421 --> 00:07:34,211
<i>After the tenth mission in a row
without a scratch,</i>

111
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,510
<i>the other pilots started to mean it
when they said "lucky thirteen."</i>

112
00:07:53,588 --> 00:07:55,918
<i>Henhouse,
this is Ninja One One Two.</i>

113
00:07:56,130 --> 00:07:58,380
<i>The enemy's right on top of us.
Where's our ride?</i>

114
00:07:58,921 --> 00:08:00,591
<i>We're right here, Sergeant.</i>

115
00:08:01,338 --> 00:08:02,208
<i>Thank God.</i>

116
00:08:02,296 --> 00:08:04,776
<i>I'll keep up the suppressing fire.
Get your men aboard.</i>

117
00:08:04,838 --> 00:08:07,128
<i>Copy that. Break off contact.</i>

118
00:08:07,213 --> 00:08:08,963
<i>Pierce, get him out of here.</i>

119
00:08:10,630 --> 00:08:12,210
<i>Get in. Hurry. Covering.</i>

120
00:08:12,296 --> 00:08:13,376
<i>Go!</i>

121
00:08:16,046 --> 00:08:17,956
Enemy's regrouped
and they're coming in fast.

122
00:08:18,046 --> 00:08:19,646
- I'm in.
- Cutter, move!

123
00:08:19,671 --> 00:08:20,671
Roger that.

124
00:08:21,630 --> 00:08:25,590
<i>Henhouse, this is Lima One Three.
Ninja One One Two secured.</i>

125
00:08:26,171 --> 00:08:27,211
<i>We're RTB.</i>

126
00:08:31,546 --> 00:08:33,626
Sergeant, how're your men
doing back there?

127
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,880
We're good to go, ma'am.
That was close.

128
00:08:40,796 --> 00:08:42,086
Fuck!

129
00:08:42,630 --> 00:08:43,630
Shit.

130
00:08:44,755 --> 00:08:46,835
Come on, girl. Just get us through this.

131
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:53,840
No. Brace for impact.

132
00:08:53,921 --> 00:08:58,011
- Come on!
<i>- Altitude! ...up.</i>

133
00:09:18,630 --> 00:09:20,920
<i>Cutter? Colby, you okay?</i>

134
00:09:22,671 --> 00:09:24,301
Yeah, I'm okay. You?

135
00:09:25,380 --> 00:09:27,710
- Rattled, but alive.
- We're good.

136
00:09:28,713 --> 00:09:31,213
Contact, two o'clock, 150 meters.

137
00:09:31,296 --> 00:09:34,916
Get those grunts out of here.
Get some cover and wait for evac.

138
00:09:35,463 --> 00:09:36,803
I'll warm up the cannon.

139
00:09:40,255 --> 00:09:43,335
I'll cover you until ammo's out,
then I'll scuttle.

140
00:09:44,130 --> 00:09:45,920
I'm not gonna let them take you.

141
00:09:46,421 --> 00:09:48,511
<i>All right, boys, on me. Move.</i>

142
00:09:49,630 --> 00:09:52,130
<i>Don't clump together. Keep going!</i>

143
00:09:53,046 --> 00:09:55,206
<i>Lee, move your ass!</i>

144
00:09:59,255 --> 00:10:00,375
Come on, you fuckers!

145
00:10:07,046 --> 00:10:08,086
Fuck!

146
00:10:33,421 --> 00:10:34,421
Fuck...

147
00:10:45,671 --> 00:10:47,511
God, I'm so fucking sorry.

148
00:11:09,463 --> 00:11:13,093
Five, four, three,

149
00:11:13,463 --> 00:11:14,463
two...

150
00:11:23,630 --> 00:11:25,050
She doesn't want to go.

151
00:11:28,671 --> 00:11:30,921
<i>Enemy in sight. Fire at will!</i>

152
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,210
You fuckers, get off my ship!

153
00:11:47,921 --> 00:11:48,921
Get down!

154
00:12:20,755 --> 00:12:22,505
<i>They patched us all up,</i>

155
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,050
<i>gave me the Distinguished Flying Cross
for conspicuous bravery under fire.</i>

156
00:12:32,463 --> 00:12:35,093
<i>They gave me one of those
new Whiskey Blackhawks.</i>

157
00:12:36,380 --> 00:12:38,540
<i>It's a fine ship, top of the line.</i>

158
00:12:50,838 --> 00:12:54,298
<i>Still, I'd trade it in a split second</i>

159
00:12:54,380 --> 00:12:58,460
<i>to fly one more mission in </i>Lucky Thirteen.

160
00:13:06,796 --> 00:13:09,376
<i>Lima One Three,
we have a visual on you.</i>
