Michael: Listen no offense, Colonel Stone.

Sam: Just call me Sam, please.

Michael: Sam.. We're royally fucked! These bastards are gonna know what you did! You just killed all of us!

Ryan: Kid, if Sam hadn't stepped in we would all be dead.. Right now all we can do is stick together and hope for the best..

Sophia: Mikey, he's right. Sam stepped in for us. We would all be dead otherwise..

Michael: Even so.. This is fucked up, man.

Sam: You're being quiet, Mrs. Blackwell

Ariane: That's Ms.. What can I say. We're now basically being hunted by the army we gave our lives to protect, so yeah.. I'm a little upset. I'm worried about my brother..

Sam: We all have reason to be upset. Carver blacklisted all of us because of this mission. We need to find out why. I know this sucks.. But we're gonna have to work together and figure this out.

Calvin: Us against the world.. This is like the beginning to some shitty story.

Michael: You said it..

Sam made his way back to the front of the helicopter and sat beside Calvin, who was their pilot.

Sam: What do you think about all this, Cal?

Calvin: The way I see it, this was always gonna happen.

Sam: How do you mean?

Calvin: You and me.. Been in this business together a long time.. We have a lot of secrets. Surely they would have wanted to shut us up eventually.

Sam: You think Carver's been planning this for a while?

Calvin: I think this has always been the game plan.. He sat in his chair while we did the dirty work.. Bastard had us pinned from the start.

Sam: Cal.. This has to work.. I don't know what to do if it doesn't.

Calvin: Well.. Better start thinking.. Cause we're here.

The helicopter comes to a slow, steady stop as the 6 soldiers step out of the helicopter.

Sam: I'm gonna go in alone with the elite. The less casualties the better.

Ariane: Yeah, I don't think so. I'm gonna give these bastards a piece of my mind.

Sam: We are not here to kill them! We need answers.. Real.. Answers.

Ariane: Then we'll beat it out of them.

Sam: Fine.. Okay but just stay behind me.

Ariane: You got it, sir.

Sam and Ariane take hold of the elite and lead him out into the field with them, walking to their destination.

???: I know we have our differences, but you can't hand me over.

Sam: We need answers, and I see no other way. If we don't hand you over we'll be hunted down like dogs.

???: If you hand me over you and Ms. Blackwell will both be executed.

Sam: What else can we do..

???: You can fight.. You're soldiers.. Doesn't that mean anything to you?

Sam looked slightly up at the elite and could see the pain in his eyes. He was most likely the last of his kind in existence. Sam felt a brief moment of grief for what he had taken part in, many years ago.
