    Chris Burnett: [the Serb troops, along with Lokar, leave and Stackhouse is watched by Sasha. Burnett observes from a nearby hill and sees Sasha execute Stackhouse]

    [Yelling]

    Chris Burnett: NO!

    [Sasha looks at the hill where Burnett is. Knowing that he gave away his position, Burnett starts to run]

  • Babic: It's not safe here. We keep moving.

    Chris Burnett: No, you go. They killed my pilot because we took pictures of the graves, and I know where they are. And I am gonna get them, so he didn't die for no reason.

    [Walks up to Babic and pats him on the back]

    Chris Burnett: Don't follow me, it's safer here.

    [Burnett leaves the area, and Babic walks off]

    Stackhouse: [Jokingly] No, you. Not me. You.

  • Chris Burnett: [Burnett arrives at the designated evacuation point]

    [Over the radio]

    Chris Burnett: Alpha Whiskey, this is Zero-Six, come in.

    Admiral Reigart: [Over the radio] Zero-Six, go ahead.

    Chris Burnett: Zero-Six is at rally point three and is standing by.

    Admiral Reigart: Zero-Six, latest intel says your current location undoable for pickup. Standby to copy rendezvous point.

    Chris Burnett: Say again your last, I am at the rendezvous point.

    Admiral Reigart: You need to hump it out to safe zone. I set IP Cadillac, Canada 1-5, Virginia 2-0, for evac.

    Admiral Reigart: [Burnett looks at his map and realizes the newly designated extraction zone is miles away from his current position] No. Negative, negative! I do not understand. Why is this spot not doable for pickup? I am good to go! I say again, I am good to go, NOW!

    Stackhouse: Oh, so you're gonna break up the band? That's good. Listen, Chris, I thought you were kidding about getting out. Are you telling me I gotta find another navigator? Is that the deal?

    Chris Burnett: I can't do it anymore. I'm done, I'm sorry.

  • Chris Burnett: Where are we heading?

    Babic: Hac.

    Chris Burnett: Hac? That's good. Good.

    [Next scene shows the truck the two men are aboard enter Hac, which is a war zone]

  • Admiral Reigart: You should be glad you're not in the middle of a fight, Lieutenant. Because with your attitude, you wouldn't last very long.

    Chris Burnett: Sir, with all due respect, I've given the Navy seven good years. I think I've served my country.

  • Chris Burnett: [to Reigart] Sir, I signed up to be a fighter pilot. I didn't want to be a cop. And I certainly didn't want to go walking a beat on a neighborhood nobody cares about.

  • Ejup: Lokar's coming back here again, killing everyone.

    Babic: It's true. Lokar killed everyone. Children and women. Buried them up in the hills.

    Chris Burnett: In the hills? Yeah! I saw them, I saw the graves!

    [Burnett has a flashback of the mass graves he encountered earlier]

    Admiral Reigart: I think I can find it!

  • Chris Burnett: [to Reigart over the radio] Sir, I shouldn't have left Stackhouse.
