Recker, Hannah, and Irish were dangling above the Chinese warship, and Irish was contacting the USS Valkyrie.
"Fortress, this is Tombstone Three, we're in position. Ready to blow shit up. What's your status? Over."
Captain Garrison of the USS Valkyrie responded, "We're almost done for, so send it to hell."
Irish turned to Hannah, "Hannah, hit the switch!"
Hannah pushed the button, but nothing happened.
"Red! Something's wrong. There's no connection!" she said.
"Fuck. Give it to me."
Hannah handed the detonator to Irish, and he checked it just to make sure. Nothing happened. "Shit, we've gotta go back down." Irish said.
"Okay, but only one of us needs to go. Recker, do you have another one of those C4 charges?" Hannah asked. Recker pulls one out of his pocket. "Good. Give it to me."
"You are not risking your life, Hannah. I'm Irish, remember? The lucky one. Give it to me, Recker!" Irish said.
"Recker, I risk my life for my country every day. Give me the charge" Hannah countered.
"Your country needs you alive, Hannah. You are not going down, period. Come on, Recker"
"Jin Jie and everyone on that ship is dying as we argue. Give me the charge, Recker."
"It's my goddamn ship Hannah! Come on, buddy. Do or die!"
"Make a decision, Recker."
"Come on, Recker. You decide."
Recker thought of what would happen if he gave the C4 to Hannah. Recker thought of what would happen if he gave the C4 to Irish. He even wondered what would happen if he waited too long to decide. So he threw the detonator to Hannah and said, "When the detonator goes green, you push the button." He unclipped himself from the wire, and dropped down into the canal.
"Recker!" said both Hannah and Irish.
"Motherfuckers!" Irish shouts.
"It's set" said Recker.
"Your gonna kill him!" Irish says to Hannah.
"Recker! Get out of there now! Please, don't make us do this." Hannah says to Recker.
"Goddammit! Tombstone! Blow that ship now! Now!" Captain Garrison shouts. Hannah pushed the button, and the Chinese warship exploded.
"We did what we had to do, Irish. His life was not in vain" Hannah says to Irish.
"Fortress, this is Bloodhound. Tombstone's on board. We're bringing them back" Bloodhound says to Captain Garrison.
"All are accounted for?" asked Garrison.
"One of them is missing in action, sir. Nothing we can do, all that was left was left of Sgt. Recker were his binos and dog tags. We have to pull out immediately."
"Shit. Understood. Now, get my marines back home."
As Hannah, Irish, and Bloodhound made their way towards the USS Valkyrie, Recker's body sunk further and further beneath the canal, until he finally hit the bottom. A few seconds later, bubbles could be seen as they made their way to the surface of the water, and there, at the bottom of the canal, at the source of where the bubbles were coming from, Recker's eyes flew open.
