The Hurt Locker

- Go, go. - We're going right.

Stop traffic up there. Let's go!

Approaching.

I think we have touchdown.

- A little to the right. - Going to the right.

Hello, mamma.

Now push it in.

- I can't. - What do you mean, you can't?

- Pretend it's your dick, man. - How about I pretend it's your dick?

You'd never get in if you did that.

- Here. Let me have a shot. - All right, give me a sec.

No, come on. Time's up. It's my dick, man.

Go.

You fucker.

- Got that? - Yeah.

There we go.

- Look at that. - Nice 155, huh?

- Yeah. - 155?

It's going to do some fucking damage. Okay.

Hey, Eldridge, looks like we're going to need a charge.

I got that.

I figured four blocks, that'll give us about 20 pounds of bang, total.

That blast is going to roll straight out there.

The shell will probably kick out there, and most of the shrapnel

is going to shoot straight up in a beautiful umbrella pattern.

Yeah.

We're gonna get some smaller pieces and shell fragments this way,

but we'll be okay if we're behind the Humvee.

- Bring the bot back. We'll load it up. - No problem.

Bot is moving.

Let me know what you got, Eldridge.

- Good to go. - All right. Wagon's set up. Bot moves.

- Uh-oh. We got goats, guys. - Heads up. Goats.

- Watch out. - Blow them little bastards up.

- Oh, shit. - Shit.

- Oh, fuck. - Wagon's having a bad day, boys.

- Did you build that? - No, the U.S. Army did.

All right. Looks like I'm going down there.

You don't like waiting around this beautiful neighborhood?

I love it.

So, if everything looks okay when I get down there,

I'm just going to set it up and we'll BIP it.

Give these people something to think about.

Want them to know if they're gonna leave a bomb on the side of the road for us,

we're just gonna blow up their little fucking road.

Sounds good.

- Craving a burger, is that strange? - Not for you.

No, okay.

- Helmet on. - Happy trails.

- Fans on. - Blaster One. Can you read me?

Roger that, Blaster One. You're good to go.

You're looking good, Blaster One.

It's nice and hot in here.

150.

Roger that, 150 meters.

Hi. Where are you from?

Where are you from?

- California? - Hey, get out of here, man.

- Where? - Hey, this ain't a fucking meet and greet.

Now get out of here. Now.

Go.

- You making friends again, Sanborn? - All day long.

- Twenty-five. - Twenty-five meters.

Roger that. You are now in the kill zone.

- Thanks for reminding me. - That's what I'm here for, baby.

Okay.

- Okay, the dets are good. - Roger that.

Okay, I'm laying on the charge. Nice and sweet.

I'm good to go. I'm coming back.

- Five meters out. - Five meters. Roger that.

Hey, Sanborn. You know what this place needs?

- I'm listening. - It needs grass.

- We gonna start our grass business? - That's right, man.

I'm going to sell the grass, and you're going to cut it.

It's going to be called Sanborn and Sons.

We'll be rich.

I like that. Crabgrass, St. Augustine, man. I'm a scholar on this shit.

How about this? You sell it, I fertilize it.

-Twenty-five. - Twenty-five meters. Roger that.

Sanborn! Butcher shop, two o'clock, dude has a phone!

- Why is Eldridge running? - Make him put it down!

- Put down the phone! - Come on, guys. Talk to me.

- Drop the phone! Drop your phone! - Shit!

- Hey, burn him, Eldridge. Burn him! - Put down the cell phone!

Eldridge, burn him! Get out of the way!

- Drop your phone! - Tell him to put it down!

Go get it! Stop him, Eldridge!

I can't get a shot.

Thompson!

Anywhere's good.

- Is that everything? - Yeah.

Yeah?

Come in.

Sergeant James.

- J.T. Sanborn, my man. - Hey. Hi. How are you?

Will. Call me Will.

Welcome to Bravo Company. Welcome to Camp Victory.

Camp Victory? I thought this was Camp Liberty.

Oh, no. They changed that about a week ago.

Victory sounds better.

All right. Well, good. At least I'm in the right place, right?

- Yeah. - Well, while you're here, can you

- help me move this thing real quick? - Yeah, no problem.

Maybe you shouldn't take this down. You know, we get a lot of mortars at night.

You know, the plywood on the windows help with the lateral fray coming through.

- That's why it's up there. - Yeah, well,

it's not going to stop a mortar round from coming in through the roof, you know.

Besides, I like the sunshine.

Hey, I'm sorry to hear about Thompson.

- I know he was a good tech. - Yeah, he was.

He was a great team leader, too.

Yeah, I'm not trying to fill his shoes or anything.

You know, I'm just going to do my best.

Appreciate it.

All right. Cool.

Well, home sweet home, right?

Aren't you glad the Army has all these tanks parked here?

Just in case the Russians come, we have to have a big tank battle.

I'd rather be on the side with the tanks, just in case, than not have them.

Yeah, but they don't do anything.

I mean, anyone comes alongside a Humvee, we're dead.

Anybody even looks at you funny, we're dead.

Pretty much the bottom line is, if you're in Iraq, you're dead.

How's a fucking tank supposed to stop that?

Would you shut the fuck up, Owen? Please?

Sorry. Just trying to scare the new guy.

I saw a little bit in Afghanistan, too.

Should get your eyes on the road, Eldridge.

Copy that.

Move.

Blaster One, this is Victory Main.

Have you reached your 20 yet? Over.

Where the hell are the guys that called this in?

Victory Main, Victory Main, this is Blaster Mike.

Interrogative, do you have an update on position? Over.

Victory Main. Figures to follow.

3-4-5-3 is your grid. Over.

Well, that's exactly where the hell I am, and I don't see anybody in fatigues.

Give us a second to confirm grid. Over.

Watch your feet.

Set visual is 3-4-5-3, grid.

Over.

Got the Humvee.

Friendly!

Friendly!

Here we go.

- They abandoned their vehicle. - We got an empty Humvee over here, James.

Yeah. Yeah, I got it.

Let's move.

Friendly.

- Morning, boys. - Sir.

Don't tell me the bomb's in here with you guys.

Let's step out, and I'll show you what's going on.

- All right. - Down on that block 20 meters,

this side of the mosque, east side of the street, our informant says

he saw a pair of wires going into a rubble pile.

- It's a possible IED. - Yeah.

- I trust this guy. I know him. - Okay. I'll handle it.

- Do you want to talk to him or... - No. Good. Keep your boys back.

We'll be good. Thank you. Specialist,

- bring up the Humvee. - What's going on?

I'm going to break out the suit.

- What about the bot? - I'll take care of it.

Well, don't you want us to get the bot down there, see what it looks like?

- I'll handle it. - It's kind of tight down here, James.

All right, here we go.

Ready?

Good?

You know, you don't have to go down there, man.

- We already have the bot halfway out. - I'll be all right.

First day, figure you want to take it easy, right?

- How's it looking, Eldridge? - Good to go.

Let's do it.

- Got tools? - Got tools.

All right. Let's rock and roll, man.

- He's a rowdy boy. - He's reckless.

Blaster One, what's going on?

Blaster One! What are you doing?

Blaster One, this is Blaster Mike.

What's with the smoke on the side of the road? Over.

Hey, James, can you hear me?

What's going on with the smoke on the side of the road? Over.

-Creating a diversion. - From what? Is there a threat?

Eldridge, get up on the wall. Move!

Tell me what you see, Specialist.

All right. I got him. He's walking down range.

James, the smoke is killing my visibility. Where are you in relationship to the IED?

Are you within 100 meters yet?

Hell, I don't know, Sanborn. I'll tell you when I'm standing over it, cowboy.

Stop the car!

Stop the car now!

Take cover!

Oh, no. A car stopped in front of him, Sanborn.

Shit. James! James, come back, now.

EOD just pulled a nine on a haji in a car.

- Do you want me to send backup? - I got it.

- Sanchez, Harris. - Negative! Negative!

Stand down. The blast will come up the block.

Stay clear around the corner. EOD has the situation under control. Over.

- Where you going? - Hold your fire, on my command.
