1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,515
The fourth year of <i>24</i> begins
with a huge event, as always,

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,672
and this year the huge event is a train crash.

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,469
We had to do it in pieces,
and you never see the train derailing,

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,313
but you do see the aftermath,
which is behind me here.

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,359
We've had three directors.
I'm doing all the first unit at the train wreck.

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,399
Tim lacofano's actually doing
the train hitting the truck bomb,

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,631
which happens another night.
It'll be a massive explosion.

8
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,919
Joseph Hodges shot all the train aftermath
with the reporters and firemen and all of that,

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,675
so between the three of us
we're gonna create this train crash.

10
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,398
- Can I have the fireman, please?
- Let's shoot.

11
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:48,835
Let's ask him what he had for breakfast,

12
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,629
if you wanna play the train crash.
Here. I wanna be here.

13
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,190
Guys, we are setting up a video shot of you
and you're in the sun.

14
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,637
- Can we shoot right now?
- We're about to. This is a closed set.

15
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,316
I want you to do a bit of this.
I'll go and check on Jay.

16
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,551
Show me your hands
and catch the one hand with another.

17
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,952
Just make it very inky.
From the outside. Outside, yes.

18
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,397
OK, now you can wipe your hands
over your legs. Legs, legs, legs.

19
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,508
I'll come in and do the tight stuff afterwards,
but for this wide, this will all be background,

20
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,636
- so don't worry about it.
- OK.

21
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,671
I'm shooting video.
We're doing the aftermath of this crash.

22
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:36,232
We show some of the injured people
and the police interviewing the eyewitnesses.

23
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:38,311
It's just all for news footage.

24
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,756
This will be on a television
in the background in a living room.

25
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,276
Is he in now?
Oh, sorry. Wrong camera.

26
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,113
Guys, don't go crazy.
She's a reporter on this video.

27
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,714
- It's a TV in the background.
- OK, OK.

28
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,951
Guys, can you move
6 feet down that way?

29
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,589
I can see sparks coming out
from the back of her head.

30
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,276
If they move the camera around a bit... She
had sparks coming out the back of her head.

31
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,477
You can even just go...
and just push the zoom a bit.

32
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,279
That'll look cool. We'll do one more rehearsal.

33
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,510
Rock the train, please. Action.

34
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,436
This is poor man's process, making motion
with the shadows and the lights.

35
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,238
Simulate the train moving.

36
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,950
Poor man's process is taking a vehicle
while it's stationary and shaking it,

37
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,033
so it's simulating that it's moving.
It's easier on a car than it is a train.

38
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,477
- Did you feel that movement?
- She waited for sound effects.

39
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,560
Let's work this one out a little bit. I'd like
to see three of them go down and she can't.

40
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:55,950
Would that be cool? Can you do that?
Let's start again.

41
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:01,478
All right, it's fine. Come on.
Stop watering the field. Let's go.

42
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,596
I'm sorry.

43
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,319
No, don't touch me.

44
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,279
When the ambulance goes,
I wanna see that. This is beautiful.

45
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,715
Rescue workers are working desperately...

46
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,110
It would have been nice to shoot all of it
when the sun is setting

47
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,875
so it feels more like the sun was rising,
but we have to clear up

48
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:26,433
and Jon is now gonna come with the first unit
and shoot the actual story stuff.

49
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,397
The important stuff.

50
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,839
- How'd it go?
- Lots of good stuff. CTU screens all year.

51
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,196
- An hour's worth of footage.
- That's great.

52
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,316
- B mark.
- Coffee cup down.

53
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,152
Three, two.

54
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,754
Three, two, one.

55
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,512
Go!

56
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,751
Up!

57
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,389
And forward.

58
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,754
Cut.

59
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,834
Were you trying to time your coffee cup?
Cos I gotta get that right. OK.

60
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,708
OK, then. I was waiting for you to put it down,
but I'll just count.

61
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,313
OK.

62
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,676
That worked well. That worked great.
That looked really good.

63
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,593
- The bar's open.
- There's a bar back here.

64
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,990
- There's no adults here.
- He's got the bow tie on.

65
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,595
Reverse frat party, tonight in the train.

66
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,111
Night's the way to go.
Night's harder to shoot, but it looks better.

67
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,156
- You've got nuts there.
- I do.

68
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,835
- Do we know where we're going?
- Right turn. Right turn.

69
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:04,108
This is in the foreground. You don't see the
train wreck yet. You see the guy on the bike,

70
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:09,433
then as he goes that way you go...
All right? And reveal the whole thing.

71
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,830
This angle's fine. Don't worry about it.
Let's just shoot it.

72
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,630
What's happening right now
is all the night work, and it's the aftermath.

73
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,235
A character comes in on a motorcycle,
finds another character,

74
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,359
and steals what is gonna be
a very important part of this year,

75
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,716
this case with computer components.

76
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,274
I just got in a fight with somebody
and there was a slight altercation.

77
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,148
- It's OK.
- If you think I'm bad, wait till you see the guy.

78
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,629
I don't wanna press charges.

79
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,788
They slathered some goop on me. I'm
not sure what it was. It was in a clear bottle.

80
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:53,512
Then they threw this red stuff on me, and she
crushed up real glass and stuck it on my arm.

81
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:59,357
I've got it here on my forehead and in my hair,
and then they got a nice piece right there.

82
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,318
You've got the one line,
but it never really stops.

83
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,868
- That's what I figured.
- You keep it going.

84
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,954
Even when he's leaving, "Please, don't
leave me! Don't leave me!" I mean, go for it.

85
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,828
- Do you want him to come into it?
- Absolutely. He's gotta fall into it.

86
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:19,552
On "action", our stunt double Brian
will fall down out of the doorway

87
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,154
and then Jon will yell, "Switch!"

88
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,755
Brian will get up, run out of frame.
Jeff will run in.

89
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:31,631
He'll take the same place that Brian landed,
then Jon will yell, "Action!" for a second time.

90
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,793
Jeff will then stagger over,
crawling, staggering, crawling, staggering,

91
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,394
and land with his head
about where the fruit is.

92
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,358
He won't shoot you right away.
I wanna see who you are.

93
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,194
I wanna see you struggling with the gun, OK?

94
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:51,037
And same thing. I'm gonna let you beg before
he... He's shooting you way too early. OK.

95
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,078
We kill people really artistically.

96
00:06:54,160 --> 00:07:00,429
We do it in a way that the camera's not set
on the person shooting or the person dying.

97
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,432
The camera's moving.
It gets there just a little late.

98
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,911
It almost feels like you were really watching
something that really happened,

99
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,391
almost like somebody with a video camera
behind a tree watching it happen.

100
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,234
It always feels more real to me
than most shows.

101
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,311
Background!

102
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,428
Action.

103
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,115
Help me! Where are you going?

104
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,955
You know what? It's like a disco in there.
Look at them. It's too much.

105
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,429
- All right. David...
- Let's cut.

106
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,796
That was...
Is that what it was supposed to do or...?

107
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,110
Oh, really? It goes out long?

108
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,749
- Depends on how long a piece I put in there.
- OK.

109
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,354
- I want you in hysteria off the top.
- Got it.

110
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,399
You got a train sitting on top of you.
OK? Go for it.

111
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,917
- Jon.
- Excuse me. What?

112
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,596
Can you just come and talk to Jeff real quick
and let him know what we'd like him to do?

113
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,879
Everything you did before. Everything we've
done for the last 17 days you're doing again.

114
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,511
I told you to be here like this,
as if you just walked here for the first time.

115
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,512
You walk here, you sit here. You look at him.

116
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,070
When you hear him,
you turn right into your lens.

117
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,833
That's the shot. I need...

118
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,639
He was lying there the whole time.
He just got up.

119
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,950
Bang, bang, bang, bang, and then boom.

120
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,559
Look at me. You're gonna turn to your right.

121
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,394
- Here we go.
- All right, lock it up, please, and roll sound.

122
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,596
A mark.

123
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,033
Action.

124
00:08:35,560 --> 00:08:38,870
That's better. It's not a disco train.

125
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,030
No!

126
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,714
Cut.

127
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,598
Good job all around.
Tighten your lenses. Let's go.

128
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,073
So, he's gonna start way down.
So, Matty starts way back.

129
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,469
Keep going. Keep going.

130
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:09,439
We're just doing an overlap explosion
of what we're gonna do next Tuesday

131
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,435
when we actually hit the train into a truck
that will be breaching the tracks.

132
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,513
Tonight the fireball will be about the same
as it's gonna be Tuesday,

133
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,273
probably about the same size
as this tree here.

134
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,830
It's gas raising up as it's on fire,
creates your fireball,

135
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,718
and in about a second and a half, it's over.

136
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:32,953
Ow.

137
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,429
The dangers of filmmaking.

138
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,638
We're getting within a few minutes
of firing this thing up,

139
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:45,989
so we should clear everyone away
from the train cars that are on the tracks.

140
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,993
- Cut. You OK?
- Yeah.

141
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,756
He went down pretty soft, actually.
Could he go just a tad slower?

142
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,037
This guy's just a race-motorcycler guy.

143
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,031
He's just, like...

144
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,789
- B mark.
- Camera, action.

145
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,359
Come on.

146
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,951
Go!

147
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,873
Cut.

148
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,679
As big as the tree.

149
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,354
You ended up perfect.
You said it was gonna be...

150
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,715
- Yeah. Safer.
- Yeah, it was great.

151
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,952
I mean, we could do it multiple times.
We'd have to let things cool down,

152
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,591
but we're shooting for a one-taker,
so then we can go home.

153
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,234
This is part of episode one. We begin our
year. This is the first terrorist strike in <i>24</i>.

154
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,278
What they're gonna do
is they're gonna stop this train

155
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,272
by putting a truck on the tracks
filled with explosives

156
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,239
and the flame will go
about 80 or 90 feet in the air.

157
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,349
Yeah, you're gonna be safely in here,
you know?

158
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,479
Or even out this way a little more.
Here you're gonna be OK, I would think.

159
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:03,279
How far will that truck be
off the side of the rail?

160
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,079
How close to the tracks
can we get with the camera?

161
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,869
Well, that side's gonna be pretty clear.

162
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,272
So we'll set it down there and pull it back,
and if it gets scary, run like hell.

163
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,239
The danger is great, but we're trained
to know how far back to be from this.

164
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,471
Our explosives guys are absolute experts.

165
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:25,075
If they say the flame will go 60 feet in the air,
it'll go 60 feet in the air.

166
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,870
If they say it'll go 10 feet off to the side,
you could stand at 11 feet and not be burned.

167
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,315
That's how good these guys are at this.

168
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:37,633
So, we're rigging this down here
to throw sparks out on the tyres

169
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,111
to represent the brakes coming on
in a panic stop,

170
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,839
not that it would really happen,
but it's good for the TV.

171
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,708
It's like putting my head in the lion's mouth.

172
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,315
The way this was scripted originally
was we had two trains colliding.

173
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,712
It's cost-prohibitive, so we can't really
crash two trains into each other,

174
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,874
so we decided to crash a train into a truck
full of explosives to derail the train.

175
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,397
We have a 1970 pick-up truck
with eight different explosions in it

176
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:14,235
and there's spikes on this train that'll go
through the cab and pick up the truck

177
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,915
so we don’t just smack the truck
and knock it off the tracks.

178
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,278
As far as explosions go,
it's two circuits and there's eight bombs

179
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,592
that'll be within a half-second of each other.
It'll look like one explosion.

180
00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:30,832
We don't shoot it slow-motion.
We'll try to make it last as long as we can,

181
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,515
but basically it's about a second and a half
and it'll be over.

182
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:39,515
These V-pins have baggies of gas over them
with lifters underneath.

183
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,479
These are directional. They'll spray this way
and this way, but not out this way.

184
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:49,111
Then we have a det cord which will set
the can of gas on, and they'll all go at once,

185
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,873
so pretty much obliterate
the back of the truck.

186
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,909
Det cord is basically... It's called primer cord,
and it's detonation cord.

187
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,355
They use it a lot in blasting.

188
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:04,639
It's a high explosive
that burns at about 23,000 feet a second.

189
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,713
- It's just extremely volatile stuff.
- It's good stuff, though.

190
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,918
We're just waiting for the word
and then we'll be finishing up the loading.

191
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,596
- That camera down the side'll be a full shot.
- It'll be a great shot.

192
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:22,800
- I'll be right there, so I'll need ear protection.
- Yeah. It's not real bad.

193
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,476
It'll be... I never... Every time I think
it's gonna be really loud, it's not,

194
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:30,791
then when I'm, "Oh, it won't be bad,"
it knocks me over.

195
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:36,989
In about ten seconds I'm either gonna be
a hero or owe somebody a lot of money.

196
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,072
- It's every little boy's dream.
- Oh, ma'am.

197
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,914
- OK, we're hot.
- Here we go. Put in your ear plugs.

198
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:07,998
Whoa!

199
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,638
- Look at that.
- Awesome, huh?

200
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,314
Ooh, let's do that again.

201
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,390
Make sure that all those lifters
went off in there.

202
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,390
It's all this thing.
Like I said, I'm worried about the sparks.

203
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,358
Well, that was the shot.

204
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,431
The bonds are OK.

205
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,513
- This side looks good.
- The number board on this one has to go.

206
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,878
The paint was supposed to be removed
after one week last December for that shoot.

207
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,077
The train wins again. Nice boom.

208
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,628
- One charge not go.
- Oh, one charge didn't go?

209
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,429
Well, look at... Rick got some great pictures.
You gotta see 'em.

210
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,115
- A real tall fireball. Yeah, you see a lot of it.
- That was the one.

211
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,239
The one spike that I had in the centre,
I don't know if it cut the cord.

212
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:30,077
Oh, really? Oh, well, it looks great.
You gotta see... Go take a look at his pictures.

213
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,879
That was really great. So, thanks.

214
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,748
- Thank you.
- Good job. Good job. Thanks very much.

215
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,398
Marshmallows overdone. Amazing.

216
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,552
The guys from the press kit
didn't come out tonight,

217
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,076
so even the TV critics,
they didn't get to see this.

218
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,720
DVD buyers, you got to see this.

219
00:17:23,283 --> 00:17:26,355
This weapon system here
is the M4 carbine rifle.

220
00:17:26,443 --> 00:17:29,355
It's the preferred weapon of all special forces,

221
00:17:29,443 --> 00:17:33,277
whether you're a marine,
navy SEAL or army special-force soldier.

222
00:17:33,363 --> 00:17:37,356
It has an Ops Inc suppressor,
so it's difficult for the enemy to locate you.

223
00:17:37,443 --> 00:17:40,674
It's equipped with a PEQ-2
infrared laser aiming device.

224
00:17:40,763 --> 00:17:44,438
You can only see it with a night-vision device.

225
00:17:44,523 --> 00:17:47,754
Ejection port, where the round will come out.
We have a laser.

226
00:17:47,843 --> 00:17:51,518
To your left, you'll see a visible
red laser on the wall behind you.

227
00:17:51,603 --> 00:17:53,559
Where the dot goes, the round will go.

228
00:17:53,643 --> 00:17:56,680
We want to be able to fire it
and see the flame come out.

229
00:17:56,763 --> 00:18:00,073
As long as it has a Picatinny rail system.
I'm sure yours does.

230
00:18:00,163 --> 00:18:03,473
- If not, we can put our rail on yours.
- OK.

231
00:18:03,563 --> 00:18:06,794
Jason, it's Tim. Could you
switch me to Dick Kyker in props?

232
00:18:06,883 --> 00:18:09,556
Can you get M4s instead of M16s?

233
00:18:09,643 --> 00:18:12,919
This is our tech scout,
which we do on every episode.

234
00:18:13,003 --> 00:18:15,995
What's different today
is we're bringing the marines out

235
00:18:16,083 --> 00:18:18,392
that will be roping out of the helicopters

236
00:18:18,483 --> 00:18:21,281
and the aviators that
will be flying the helicopters

237
00:18:21,363 --> 00:18:23,957
for the rescue of Secretary of Defense Heller.

238
00:18:24,043 --> 00:18:29,276
Lieutenant Colonel Phil Kovac. Call sign:
<i>Führer</i>. I'm copilot and the executive officer.

239
00:18:29,363 --> 00:18:31,752
Lieutenant Colonel Eric Byre, flight lead.

240
00:18:31,843 --> 00:18:35,358
Brian Robins, Huey pilot.
I'll be the aircraft commander next week.

241
00:18:35,443 --> 00:18:39,516
Staff Sergeant Jason Calvert.
I'll be the crew chief in the back of the Huey.

242
00:18:39,603 --> 00:18:42,720
Lieutenant Colonel Pete Cromer.
I'm a Huey pilot.

243
00:18:42,803 --> 00:18:46,079
Mike Cavanaugh.
I'm the operations officer for HMLA-775.

244
00:18:46,163 --> 00:18:48,154
I'll be driving one of the Cobras.

245
00:18:48,243 --> 00:18:51,360
We walked through it.
They know what they're getting into.

246
00:18:51,443 --> 00:18:56,153
I have the props. But you know what,
though, guys? I apologize, because it's army.

247
00:18:56,243 --> 00:18:58,882
What I had to do
was have them take "army" off,

248
00:18:58,963 --> 00:19:02,114
cos I didn't want a bunch of angry marines,
know what I mean?

249
00:19:02,203 --> 00:19:04,922
The precision
that we need to have as filmmakers

250
00:19:05,003 --> 00:19:06,994
is what we have in common with them,

251
00:19:07,083 --> 00:19:10,075
because of the precision
of what they do in their job.

252
00:19:10,163 --> 00:19:12,597
So I guess that's
the common bond between us.

253
00:19:12,683 --> 00:19:17,473
And again, because I'm fortunate
to have the skilful people that I have,

254
00:19:17,563 --> 00:19:19,474
who are very precise in what they do,

255
00:19:19,563 --> 00:19:21,758
I think, at least that's my impression,

256
00:19:21,843 --> 00:19:25,199
that's something that
the marines respond very positively to.

257
00:19:25,283 --> 00:19:29,515
Jack with Secretary Heller have come out
and they're pinned down behind this car.

258
00:19:29,603 --> 00:19:35,838
They're in a gunfight with terrorists that are
up here, here, and coming up from back there.

259
00:19:35,923 --> 00:19:38,676
These guys are starting to get ready to fire,

260
00:19:38,763 --> 00:19:44,201
when number one comes through
and takes out these guys,

261
00:19:44,283 --> 00:19:47,002
number two comes through
and takes out these guys.

262
00:19:47,083 --> 00:19:50,837
Then we'll light up smoke off this helicopter.
There'll be smoke here.

263
00:19:50,923 --> 00:19:54,962
After that, the Huey comes in here
and then these guys fastrope down here.

264
00:19:55,043 --> 00:19:56,840
With that kind of dust, can they...

265
00:19:56,923 --> 00:20:00,711
Yeah. If it's wet down like that,
they'll be able to rope...

266
00:20:00,803 --> 00:20:04,000
We won't know till they do it.
If they can't they'll wave it off.

267
00:20:04,083 --> 00:20:06,961
We could wet it down,
just have them fly the test over,

268
00:20:07,043 --> 00:20:11,719
as opposed to running the cameras and
waving off, and you can see ahead of time.

269
00:20:11,803 --> 00:20:15,591
At that point, I'll panic
and come up with another plan.

270
00:20:25,603 --> 00:20:27,912
This is the AH-1 Whisky Cobra.

271
00:20:28,003 --> 00:20:31,712
We just came back from OIF.
And we fly these operationally.

272
00:20:31,803 --> 00:20:36,593
So what you see is what actually flies
currently in our service.

273
00:20:36,683 --> 00:20:41,313
A Huey is a utility helicopter,
as the name implies, a variety of missions.

274
00:20:41,403 --> 00:20:43,871
Primarily, we fly with cruiser weapons -

275
00:20:43,963 --> 00:20:48,912
a 50-calibre machine gun
and then a 7.62mm Gatling gun.

276
00:20:49,003 --> 00:20:55,636
We got a crew of two in back manning the
weapons. We carry a pod of 2.75 inch rockets.

277
00:20:55,723 --> 00:20:59,113
It's an older airframe,
but it's performed well for us.

278
00:20:59,203 --> 00:21:02,400
What speed is best
for the Cobras to come through here?

279
00:21:02,483 --> 00:21:06,158
60 to 80 knots. 80 knots is good.
Anything less than that could get...

280
00:21:06,243 --> 00:21:10,839
We're not used to flying that slow. But our
thing we want to avoid at all costs was fast.

281
00:21:10,923 --> 00:21:13,437
We wouldn't get you on film. You'd be a blur.

282
00:21:15,723 --> 00:21:18,601
I guarantee you,
you guys are gonna look great.

283
00:21:18,683 --> 00:21:20,753
And like I said last week in the meeting,

284
00:21:20,843 --> 00:21:24,313
we will give you the best meal
you've ever had in your uniform.

285
00:21:24,763 --> 00:21:27,641
So... Thank you very much.
Good seeing you.

286
00:21:27,723 --> 00:21:30,476
- See you next week.
- We’ll look forward to it.

287
00:21:30,563 --> 00:21:33,236
Thanks for coming out.

288
00:21:36,843 --> 00:21:39,152
That's pretty good, don't you think?

289
00:21:39,243 --> 00:21:41,199
That was about 50 knots.

290
00:21:41,283 --> 00:21:44,275
- Is that good, too fast, too slow?
- It looked really good.

291
00:21:44,363 --> 00:21:48,595
Great speed, great altitude. It's gonna be
a great sequence. We're gonna...

292
00:21:48,683 --> 00:21:51,641
I think we’ll live up
to the standard we've set,

293
00:21:51,723 --> 00:21:54,283
which is pretty high, but we're ready to go.

294
00:22:19,403 --> 00:22:22,793
We will be fastroping
up by the steps where it is watered down.

295
00:22:22,883 --> 00:22:27,240
But there is a lot of debris. Those things
become projectiles and can hurt you.

296
00:22:27,323 --> 00:22:29,314
If everyone can stay away from there.

297
00:22:29,403 --> 00:22:32,361
Let's pay attention
to everything we've just said,

298
00:22:32,443 --> 00:22:36,152
so we can get through this day safely
and have a successful shoot.

299
00:22:36,243 --> 00:22:40,441
What we have going today
is what we call a "combined-arms exercise".

300
00:22:40,523 --> 00:22:44,835
Tim, you're sort of working as the ace
for us today. However, you're out of uniform.

301
00:22:44,923 --> 00:22:46,117
Uh-oh.

302
00:22:46,203 --> 00:22:52,199
On behalf of all the marines here today,
I'd like to present you with your uniform.

303
00:22:52,563 --> 00:22:55,555
Get changed.
Get into your outfit, soldier.

304
00:22:56,683 --> 00:23:00,961
All right. Thank you very much. I'm truly,
deeply honored. Thank you very much.

305
00:23:01,043 --> 00:23:04,080
All right. We're losing sunlight,
so let's get started.

306
00:23:04,163 --> 00:23:06,723
What we're doing is what we call "hard hit".

307
00:23:06,803 --> 00:23:12,400
We come in with guns blazing, with Cobra
attack helicopters lighting up the target.

308
00:23:12,483 --> 00:23:15,555
Then the Huey coming in with the marines.

309
00:23:15,643 --> 00:23:21,036
Then carrying out their mission by killing
the enemy, clearing zones, sweeping places,

310
00:23:21,123 --> 00:23:23,637
and extracting the friendlies.

311
00:23:23,723 --> 00:23:26,795
We kill the bad guys, save the good guys.
That's the end.

312
00:23:26,883 --> 00:23:30,000
We make it look easy on film,
but it's not easy,

313
00:23:30,083 --> 00:23:34,520
in that all the marines you're seeing
on average have over eight years of service.

314
00:23:34,603 --> 00:23:37,595
We're veterans of the war in Iraq,
the war in Afghanistan.

315
00:23:37,683 --> 00:23:39,913
All these marines have combat experience.

316
00:23:40,003 --> 00:23:43,882
What you see is a chance for the audience
to step into the world of a marine,

317
00:23:43,963 --> 00:23:46,113
a combat marine, and see what they do.

318
00:23:46,563 --> 00:23:50,397
- Looks good. You got that...
- It's a good thing.

319
00:23:50,483 --> 00:23:53,919
The suit fits good, actually.
Thank God I lost weight.

320
00:23:54,003 --> 00:23:58,997
If I was like I was on that F-18 day, this would
have been probably about here, this zipper.

321
00:23:59,083 --> 00:24:03,281
This is more appropriate. The times
I've called Terry or the Pentagon and said:

322
00:24:03,363 --> 00:24:06,036
"Can I have this and that,
and how about that?"

323
00:24:06,123 --> 00:24:09,195
- SECDEF?
- SECDEF. Secretary of Defense.

324
00:24:09,283 --> 00:24:13,071
It was humbling to get it,
to tell you the truth. And I was proud.

325
00:24:13,163 --> 00:24:17,441
You earn the respect of guys like this,
or at least...

326
00:24:17,523 --> 00:24:20,674
To earn their respect is a high compliment.
It really is.

327
00:24:20,763 --> 00:24:25,678
Cos what they do, their line of work,
they could die. We go home.

328
00:24:25,763 --> 00:24:31,599
If you do not need to be out here,
please get into the tunnel or the bunker.

329
00:24:31,683 --> 00:24:34,800
I don't want to do this all day.
This is what we talked about.

330
00:24:34,883 --> 00:24:37,716
Everybody find their positions
so we can begin our day.

331
00:24:37,803 --> 00:24:40,363
Here they come.

332
00:24:45,843 --> 00:24:48,073
Can they go a little bit faster?

333
00:24:48,163 --> 00:24:50,438
Yeah. Yeah.

334
00:24:51,563 --> 00:24:54,157
Yeah, that was good speed.

335
00:24:57,323 --> 00:24:59,757
- How was that for altitude?
- It's great.

336
00:24:59,843 --> 00:25:01,117
The second guy is perfect.

337
00:25:01,203 --> 00:25:04,798
They're liking that.
Real low, like that in a longer run.

338
00:25:04,883 --> 00:25:07,875
Go ahead and land, pick up the marines,
and we'll have...

339
00:25:07,963 --> 00:25:12,479
We're gonna go again. This next run
will be an actual line number for film.

340
00:25:12,563 --> 00:25:15,441
- Will that be the speed?
- Yeah. He'll come in slowly.

341
00:25:15,523 --> 00:25:18,560
I got the smokers in the air.
We're already set up.

342
00:25:18,643 --> 00:25:23,034
Let's just jump in to the initial piece with
the Cobras coming by and shooting, right?

343
00:25:23,123 --> 00:25:25,842
You three guys. OK.

344
00:25:26,923 --> 00:25:29,118
For the Cobra pass, they'll be up there.

345
00:25:29,203 --> 00:25:32,639
This is Matty Taylor.
This is the stunt coordinator for <i>24</i>.

346
00:25:32,723 --> 00:25:35,874
Horses, motocross, explosions -
this guy does it all.

347
00:25:35,963 --> 00:25:39,433
We're trying to incorporate everything
in the world we live in.

348
00:25:39,523 --> 00:25:45,553
These guys have been killed numerous times
on the show. We'll kill them again today.

349
00:25:45,643 --> 00:25:47,873
Death number 31 and counting.

350
00:25:47,963 --> 00:25:50,955
And you get a free lunch too, so...
there you have it.

351
00:25:51,043 --> 00:25:53,955
- It's a mighty living.
- It's not bad. Pays the bills.

352
00:25:54,043 --> 00:25:56,477
Not bad living being dead.

353
00:25:58,163 --> 00:26:02,839
This is squibs inside of what we call PyroCell.
It's a lightweight material.

354
00:26:02,923 --> 00:26:06,711
When it blows up
it'll look like concrete blowing away,

355
00:26:06,803 --> 00:26:10,000
from the 20-calibre guns
on the Cobra ships.

356
00:26:10,083 --> 00:26:14,440
We'll have four looms of 12 on here,
so it’ll look like all hell's breaking loose.

357
00:26:15,003 --> 00:26:17,358
Let's roll! Let's roll!

358
00:26:31,163 --> 00:26:32,516
Excellent, yeah!

359
00:26:32,603 --> 00:26:37,313
One more? Let's do one more. Hey, Stan?
We'll need your hits up there again.

360
00:26:37,403 --> 00:26:42,477
What we're doing here, this is a strafing run
for when the Cobra comes down.

361
00:26:42,563 --> 00:26:45,714
Where all these little pin flags are,
there's one of these.

362
00:26:45,803 --> 00:26:47,998
These are what we call Moroccan mortars.

363
00:26:48,083 --> 00:26:51,314
We named them that cos we made them up
when we went to Morocco.

364
00:26:51,403 --> 00:26:54,600
But basically,
charge goes down in the bottom,

365
00:26:54,683 --> 00:26:59,837
fill this with cork and peat, a little bit
of fuller's earth. Shoots up about three feet.

366
00:26:59,923 --> 00:27:03,996
As the stunt guys are coming down here,
we'll see the Cobras come around.

367
00:27:04,083 --> 00:27:08,679
Stunt guys will turn around and this
will march from there at the last bunker

368
00:27:08,763 --> 00:27:10,435
right down the row here.

369
00:27:10,523 --> 00:27:13,993
Probably two takes in here.
I think we have about 80 hits in here.

370
00:27:14,083 --> 00:27:18,440
So we can show the stunt guys
exactly where they can stand and take the hit.

371
00:27:18,523 --> 00:27:22,072
When they hear it, they should turn to fire,
then... the bullet...

372
00:27:22,163 --> 00:27:24,723
They should fire until the squibs go off.

373
00:27:24,803 --> 00:27:29,479
We got the helicopters in the air burning fuel,
so as soon as we're loaded and ready to go.

374
00:27:29,563 --> 00:27:30,916
B mark.

375
00:27:33,803 --> 00:27:36,397
Fire! Fire!

376
00:27:40,283 --> 00:27:41,511
Beautiful.

377
00:27:41,603 --> 00:27:43,753
That was cool. That was really cool.

378
00:27:43,843 --> 00:27:45,481
- It worked?
- Yeah.

379
00:27:45,563 --> 00:27:47,076
Moving on.

380
00:27:47,163 --> 00:27:50,394
It's going really well.
It's better than we anticipated.

381
00:27:50,483 --> 00:27:55,398
The helicopters are a lot closer
than we thought they were gonna be.

382
00:27:55,483 --> 00:27:58,202
Everything is bigger and better
than we expected.

383
00:27:58,283 --> 00:28:01,832
So thumbs up, so far so good,
and all that stuff.

384
00:28:01,923 --> 00:28:06,360
When the last three guys get to the bottom
of the stairs, fire off in this direction.

385
00:28:06,443 --> 00:28:11,312
There would have been a bad guy in that
corner there, and coming out of that hole.

386
00:28:11,403 --> 00:28:14,475
- You want us full auto?
- Absolutely.

387
00:28:14,563 --> 00:28:18,112
Do you want us to shoot rounds at nothing,
or to shoot at the guys?

388
00:28:18,203 --> 00:28:21,081
- There's no guys.
- There will be three guys, right?

389
00:28:21,163 --> 00:28:25,475
No. Your bad guy is that corner.
That corner of that bunker is a bad guy.

390
00:28:25,563 --> 00:28:28,123
That tunnel’s a bad guy.

391
00:28:28,203 --> 00:28:31,275
Movie bad guys. Movie bad guys.

392
00:28:31,363 --> 00:28:34,355
- I'm just asking!
- You wanna hit me? Let out that aggression?

393
00:28:34,443 --> 00:28:36,957
Good. We'll make
an actor out of you yet.

394
00:28:37,043 --> 00:28:41,798
We'll bring some guys out from
behind the van and they can take them out.

395
00:28:43,763 --> 00:28:48,917
They'll come down the steps. They'll turn
this way and see us. They're gonna riddle us.

396
00:28:49,003 --> 00:28:52,439
He can peel around the corner
and, boom, get hit. Oh, sorry.

397
00:28:54,123 --> 00:28:57,035
- We don't have any ammo.
- I'll get some for you.

398
00:28:57,123 --> 00:28:59,762
That'd be kinda cool
if you gave a little b-b-boom.

399
00:28:59,843 --> 00:29:02,835
We're charged,
but we haven't been given the OK.

400
00:29:02,923 --> 00:29:06,074
You're going for cover,
you'll come in here. You go down.

401
00:29:06,163 --> 00:29:08,472
- I'm coming over too.
- Right, right.

402
00:29:08,563 --> 00:29:14,240
You'd be in here like this.
Coming back. Boom, boom. OK, good.

403
00:29:14,323 --> 00:29:16,996
A pro can take direction
when he's on a cell phone

404
00:29:17,083 --> 00:29:21,042
because you spend half your life as a
stuntman on a phone getting your next job.

405
00:29:21,123 --> 00:29:23,318
It's important to be able to multitask.

406
00:29:23,403 --> 00:29:26,713
From surfer beach-kid to terrorist
in ten minutes.

407
00:29:26,803 --> 00:29:29,363
Down here. Down here.

408
00:29:29,443 --> 00:29:31,832
I want really good hits. Really good...

409
00:29:31,923 --> 00:29:36,678
Oh, yeah, we'll be chillin'. Freakin'
AK-47s filling us with two inches of brass.

410
00:29:36,763 --> 00:29:39,197
Yeah. You guys are getting filled with lead.

411
00:29:39,283 --> 00:29:44,277
- In reality, what would they do?
- If we see a target, our guns come up.

412
00:29:45,683 --> 00:29:47,480
- We'll cut that down.
- It's fine.

413
00:29:47,563 --> 00:29:50,157
- You sure?
- Yeah. I'm just gonna pull it.

414
00:29:50,243 --> 00:29:52,040
I come to here.

415
00:29:52,123 --> 00:29:57,356
I'll stand here. I'll grab it, throw it.
I'll duck. Boom! It'll go off and then we go in.

416
00:30:00,323 --> 00:30:01,836
Come on, this way.

417
00:30:01,923 --> 00:30:06,474
This is just cork, a little bit of fuller's earth,
a little PyroCell, like before.

418
00:30:06,563 --> 00:30:08,713
It looks like cement when it goes off.

419
00:30:08,803 --> 00:30:12,159
Up here is a theatrical AB flash.

420
00:30:12,243 --> 00:30:17,681
It'll simulate a white flash as the thing's going
off and throwing everything out the door.

421
00:30:17,763 --> 00:30:19,993
Just simulating a grenade hit.

422
00:30:37,443 --> 00:30:39,479
- We're ready.
- Action!

423
00:30:50,203 --> 00:30:52,194
Move it!

424
00:30:55,923 --> 00:30:57,641
Cut!

425
00:30:57,723 --> 00:30:59,998
Excellent. Excellent. Excellent.

426
00:31:00,083 --> 00:31:02,722
What you're seeing today
is a lot of Hollywood.

427
00:31:02,803 --> 00:31:06,842
The marines spend countless hours
perfecting their trade, their craft.

428
00:31:06,923 --> 00:31:11,394
It takes a lot of professionalism and
hard work to train to the level you're seeing.

429
00:31:11,483 --> 00:31:15,112
To see people doing what they do,
be it on news or television,

430
00:31:15,203 --> 00:31:18,673
it's powerful for folks at home saying,
"I'd like to serve my country. "

431
00:31:18,763 --> 00:31:22,756
"I'd like to do something more than
the average thing that my friends do,

432
00:31:22,843 --> 00:31:25,960
and that is go in
and pursue a career in the Marine Corps. "

433
00:31:26,043 --> 00:31:30,434
We're glad if that's the effect, if a person says,
"I'd like to rise to that challenge. "

434
00:31:30,523 --> 00:31:33,481
But I'll tell that audience,
it's not easy, it's hard work.

435
00:31:33,563 --> 00:31:39,195
Sometimes when people see stuff like this,
they think, "That's great. It looks good on TV",

436
00:31:39,283 --> 00:31:43,720
but they find out when they're cold and
hungry that maybe it's not the skill for them.

437
00:31:43,803 --> 00:31:46,715
Five-minute warning. Five-minute warning.

438
00:31:46,803 --> 00:31:49,920
We should try and do
all the fastroping we can first.

439
00:31:50,003 --> 00:31:52,915
If the wind shifts,
they have to turn the helicopter.

440
00:31:53,003 --> 00:31:55,961
- AII I hear is static.
- That's all I've heard all day.

441
00:31:56,043 --> 00:31:58,716
- Push to talk?
- I've been pretending to talk. Yeah.

442
00:31:58,803 --> 00:32:01,158
- What do you call yourself?
- Meat.

443
00:32:01,243 --> 00:32:03,711
Coyote meat.

444
00:32:03,803 --> 00:32:07,682
- They're shut down.
- Coyote meatless.

445
00:32:07,763 --> 00:32:09,833
That's what I would be.

446
00:32:09,923 --> 00:32:12,073
- That's right.
- Cut that!

447
00:32:12,163 --> 00:32:17,442
I'm gonna get a Cobra to pass above
the Huey as they're roping. OK?

448
00:32:17,523 --> 00:32:20,356
Positioning the Cobras now.
Positioning our Cobras.

449
00:32:24,523 --> 00:32:27,037
That's good. Right there.

450
00:32:27,123 --> 00:32:32,595
We gotta make those marines doing the work
look good too for their I-love-me wall.

451
00:33:28,643 --> 00:33:29,632
Cut!

452
00:33:31,003 --> 00:33:32,834
Whoa-ho!

453
00:33:33,923 --> 00:33:36,118
That was great, man.

454
00:33:36,203 --> 00:33:38,671
Oh, man, was that good?!

455
00:33:39,563 --> 00:33:42,680
That was cool. That really... That looked...

456
00:33:42,763 --> 00:33:45,277
- You got the Cobra in frame going through?
- Yeah.

457
00:33:45,363 --> 00:33:49,914
Yeah, that looked so hot.
That looked so hot, man. It was great.

458
00:33:50,003 --> 00:33:52,471
- I'm feeling we head over behind...
- Yeah, yeah.

459
00:33:52,563 --> 00:33:55,031
We got that one. That was really good.

460
00:33:55,123 --> 00:33:57,591
All right! Way to go!

461
00:33:59,243 --> 00:34:01,234
Bravo, guys!

462
00:34:04,883 --> 00:34:08,512
Way to go! We'll make actors out of you yet.

463
00:34:08,603 --> 00:34:11,959
We'll make you an actor. Way to go, guys.
Way to go. Thank you.

464
00:34:12,043 --> 00:34:17,879
God, wait till you see this film. You guys will
be impressed. You're gonna be impressed.

465
00:34:18,603 --> 00:34:20,639
All right!

466
00:34:20,723 --> 00:34:25,956
Any of this stuff today, it all worked
to perfection. It just, you know, I...

467
00:34:27,043 --> 00:34:31,241
I think the shot that
was probably one of the most exciting to me

468
00:34:31,323 --> 00:34:35,441
was the one where we looked up
at the guys roping down onto this structure,

469
00:34:35,523 --> 00:34:39,675
and as we saw them roping down,
we saw a Cobra pass through frame.

470
00:34:39,763 --> 00:34:41,833
It's good to tie that stuff in together.

471
00:34:41,923 --> 00:34:45,120
When you get as much in the frame
as possible, that was exciting.

472
00:34:45,203 --> 00:34:48,832
Nobody got hurt?
That's all I care about.

473
00:34:48,923 --> 00:34:53,394
"The more we sweat in peacetime, the less we
bleed in the war" is a concept that we go with.

474
00:34:53,483 --> 00:34:57,795
That's what you're seeing today - highly
trained marines helping out Hollywood.

475
00:34:57,883 --> 00:35:01,717
It was just jazz. This is fun.
It's boys with toys, you know?
