Brown or carmichael?

Definitely carmichael.

He didn't so so hot on the swim test.

Yeah, but brown's gonna wash out.

You think? No doubt.

Brown's from the air cav.

He's only ranger "qualified."

Is that so?

Go!

Indeed.

What month is this?

November.

And what are you doing here?

I'm a translator.I'm going to translate.

Going to?

I already translated.

How long have we known each other?

Two days.

And who am I?

My hip is broken,not my head.

Too tight?

Better.

Do you hurt anywhere else?

It hurts everywhere.

I know.

You have blood on your face.

it's nothing.

Nobody knows where we are.

I did as you said at the airfield.

I gave them the wrong destination.

I know. My people know we're here.

You radioed them?

Yes.

To tell them you were returning early?

Yes.

I remember.

I remember you started to radio them,

and then the helicopter went down.

Are you sure the signal went through?

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

This is flight 3-1.

We've crashed in the northern koryak mountains.

There are two survivors.

We need medical assistance. Over.

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

This is flight 3-1.

We've crashed in the northern koryak mountains.

There are two survivors.

We need medical assistance. Over.

in my bag,I have a cell phone.

It's gone.

Are you sure?

It's very small.

Trust me.

All our gear is gone.

All we have left is this knife,

my sidearm,and some headphones.

And whatever you've got in your pockets.

I have a bus schedule.

It's paper.I'll take it.

And drazhe--

candy.

Here.

No, thanks.Save it for later.

Did you do something up there?

Did I do something?

In the helicopter,when we were flying.

I don't understand.

Was it something that I did that brought the helicopter down?

No. I was fighting to keep it up.

Why did we crash?

From the moment it comes off the assembly line,

all that machine wants to do is kill you.

This is like camping.

Do you camp where you're from?

No.

I hate camping.

Well, then we better get you out of here.

Will we?

Most absolutely.

Here. No, it's ok.

Better?

Thank you. Ok.

You'll be gone how long?

Could be a day,2 months,or anywhere in between.

Colonel naipo told you that?

And you can't wait a week for serena's birthday?

I'm supposed to report at fort griffith at 0600 hours tomorrow.

And colonel naipo didn't tell you

what you were trying out for?

Nope.

He must have given you a hint.

Kim, you know everything I do.

Where's my kit bag?

But that's crazy.

What is it's some sort of suicide squad?

Well, then I'll respectfully withdraw.

And law school?

Well, the world is always gonna need lawyers.

It's just on hold a little longer.

I found it.

Yeah?

Thank you.

You want to do this?

Naipo said I'd be perfect for it.

That doesn't mean you have to go.

No, I don't have to go.I want to go.

Because it's a challenge? Well, yeah.

Hey, don't be upset. I'm not.

Look, if I get accepted, we can make the decision together.

And law school?

What?

And law school.

You never wanted to go.

That's true, right?

I thought that it would make you happy.

Baby, you ain't gonna make me happy

making yourself miserable.

Look, I might not even get into this unit.

Yes, you will.

Because the man I married has never

ever not gotten what he set his sights on.

All you boys about to learn somethin' new

in the next couple of days and weeks.

Can anyone guess what that is?

State your name,rank, and company.

Sergeant robert edison,charlie company,

first ranger battalion,sir!

Oh, the wide world has heard about you,sergeant edison.

You hold the speed record for rappelling in your squadron.

Yes, sir.

And I see your partner in the best ranger

competition back there,sergeant carmichael.

Hoo-ah, sir.

You two placed second in the games last year,ain't that right?

No, sir. No, sir.

We won.

My apologies.

And what do you think you're gonna learn here,sergeant edison?

How to be the best soldier in the united states army, sir!

Wrong. Take your seat,sergeant.

Anyone else?

What you will learn here in selection is failure.

Now, I know what you're thinkin'.

"That lunatic ryan has no idea who he's talkin' to,"

but let me assure you,I do.

You may be the belle of your battalion

and the homecoming queen,but we got--

how many we got goin' through this time,sergeant major?

122, sir.

122 of you hand-picked for this round of selection

all of you the most likely to succeed.

You remember sergeant danvers?

Sir, I surely do.

Why don't you tell these boys about sergeant danvers?

Danvers came to us after serving 3 years in the rangers

5 years, special forces,multiple combat medals,

including the distinguished service cross.

He washed out his second day here.

And we had such high hopes for him.

I met danvers once.

You! Stand up,will you?

Sir!

What were you sayin'?

I was told,sir,sergeant danvers was never the same after he failed selection.

That's because we broke his heart.

122 of you,and I'll dress up like bambi

if 8 of you make it through.

Hell, if 6 of you pass muster,

I'll dress up like bambi and his mom.

Tell 'em why it's so hard,sergeant major.

Because it is our job to make you fail.

Ryan: You heard him.

We're gonna weed out the weak.

This is not a training course...

so here's your handy guide.

Everything you do is an individual effort.

You will assist no other candidate.
