1
00:00:38,233 --> 00:00:40,433
<i>The air wing has a tradition:</i>

2
00:00:42,275 --> 00:00:44,975
<i>rookie pilot gets the ship
nobody else wants.</i>

3
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,610
<i>In my flight group,
that ship was Lucky Thirteen.</i>

4
00:00:53,358 --> 00:00:55,274
<i>There was nothing wrong
with her, technically,</i>

5
00:00:55,275 --> 00:00:58,215
<i>but before they gave her to me,
she'd lost two crews.</i>

6
00:01:02,775 --> 00:01:05,225
<i>They recovered the ship and the dead...</i>

7
00:01:06,150 --> 00:01:08,350
<i>or what was left of them.</i>

8
00:01:09,191 --> 00:01:12,571
<i>A ship surviving when all her crew dies
is unusual, but twice?</i>

9
00:01:13,316 --> 00:01:15,646
<i>I'd never heard of such a thing before...</i>

10
00:01:16,066 --> 00:01:18,266
<i>or since.</i>

11
00:01:19,275 --> 00:01:21,775
<i>Then there was the matter of
her serial number:</i>

12
00:01:21,858 --> 00:01:26,274
<i> 13-02313.</i>

13
00:01:26,441 --> 00:01:30,901
<i>It not only started and ended in 13,
the digits totaled 13.</i>

14
00:01:32,066 --> 00:01:34,316
<i>Pilots are a superstitious bunch.</i>

15
00:01:34,775 --> 00:01:36,940
<i> Lucky me.</i>

16
00:01:36,941 --> 00:01:38,982
Fuck.

17
00:01:38,983 --> 00:01:41,483
<i> She's all yours, Lieutenant.</i>

18
00:01:41,691 --> 00:01:45,429
Rookie's get the leftovers,
you know how that is.

19
00:01:45,858 --> 00:01:48,058
Aye-aye, sir.

20
00:01:49,983 --> 00:01:53,621
I took the liberty.
Hope you don't mind, ma'am.

21
00:01:54,275 --> 00:01:57,025
Chief Warrant Officer Jack Lee, ma'am.
Call sign "Jacko".

22
00:01:57,150 --> 00:01:59,980
Cutter, Colby.
Good to meet you.

23
00:02:00,316 --> 00:02:02,732
Hope you're not letting the talk
get to you, ma'am.

24
00:02:02,733 --> 00:02:06,482
I'm not the superstitious type, Jack.
It's just a machine.

25
00:02:06,483 --> 00:02:08,943
Well, you're wrong there, ma'am.

26
00:02:09,275 --> 00:02:12,525
Ships have personalities.

27
00:02:13,483 --> 00:02:15,399
None of them are just machines.

28
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,900
<i> Thirteen in particular.</i>

29
00:02:30,066 --> 00:02:33,726
<i>Our first op, the enemy attacked
one of our terraform stations,</i>

30
00:02:33,816 --> 00:02:36,356
<i>so I'm hauling grunts planet-side
to check it out.</i>

31
00:02:39,060 --> 00:02:41,225
<i>They put me in Thirteen in front.</i>

32
00:02:41,233 --> 00:02:43,358
<i>If shooting starts,
nine times out of ten,</i>

33
00:02:43,359 --> 00:02:46,188
<i>it's the lead ship
that doesn't come home.</i>

34
00:02:46,223 --> 00:02:47,732
<i>I tried not to dwell too much on that.</i>

35
00:02:47,733 --> 00:02:51,323
Hen House, this is Lima One Three,
confirm LZ is clear. Over.

36
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,190
<i>Confirmed. Watch your sensors.</i>

37
00:02:53,191 --> 00:02:57,073
<i>AWACS tracking two T-28 stealth
fighters in your AO, running dark.</i>

38
00:03:02,733 --> 00:03:05,982
<i>- LZ looks clear.
- The terraformer looks bent.</i>

39
00:03:05,983 --> 00:03:09,283
<i>Let's get this done.
Those T-28s show up, we're fucked.</i>

40
00:03:09,733 --> 00:03:11,149
Marines, five minutes.

41
00:03:11,150 --> 00:03:14,683
<i>- Condition one rifles.
- Condition one rifles!</i>

42
00:03:15,066 --> 00:03:17,149
You know what ship
we're riding, right?

43
00:03:17,150 --> 00:03:19,530
It's not a ship,
it's a fucking coffin with wings.

44
00:03:19,983 --> 00:03:21,774
Marines, one minute.

45
00:03:21,775 --> 00:03:25,275
<i>First team, you got the ten to two.
Second team, you got the two to six.</i>

46
00:03:25,358 --> 00:03:27,688
<i>Third team, you got the six to ten.
Good to go?</i>

47
00:03:27,775 --> 00:03:31,115
<i>- Oorah!
- Let's go!</i>

48
00:03:31,483 --> 00:03:33,693
You, rear security.

49
00:03:36,733 --> 00:03:38,399
<i>Lima Squadron, this is Henhouse.</i>

50
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,730
<i>Detecting active radar emissions
from two T-28s,</i>

51
00:03:40,816 --> 00:03:42,357
<i>bearing 180 on your position.</i>

52
00:03:42,358 --> 00:03:44,482
Marines, fast movers incoming. To cover.

53
00:03:50,150 --> 00:03:55,475
<i>All hands, LZ is compromised.
Return for immediate evac.</i>

54
00:03:56,066 --> 00:03:58,606
<i>- What are you doing, Seven Zero?
- Getting the fuck out of here!</i>

55
00:03:58,691 --> 00:04:01,231
You've still got men
on the ground, Jockey.

56
00:04:01,566 --> 00:04:03,766
God.

57
00:04:06,858 --> 00:04:10,330
<i>All remaining units into Thirteen, now!
Now-now!</i>

58
00:04:10,365 --> 00:04:12,149
We got two squads of
enemy grunts in the brush,

59
00:04:12,150 --> 00:04:13,982
and those type 28s
are coming around again.

60
00:04:13,983 --> 00:04:16,613
<i>Henhouse, this is
Lima One Three. We are a no-go.</i>

61
00:04:16,691 --> 00:04:19,899
<i>- Requesting air support.
- They're jamming us.</i>

62
00:04:19,900 --> 00:04:22,100
Fifteen seconds to intercept.

63
00:04:23,525 --> 00:04:25,725
Shit, we got one more.

64
00:04:25,775 --> 00:04:27,107
<i>Ten seconds to intercept.</i>

65
00:04:27,108 --> 00:04:29,318
- Not yet.
- Wait for me, God damn it!

66
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,021
<i>I got you.
Come on.</i>

67
00:04:33,056 --> 00:04:34,861
<i> Oh, my God! Come on!</i>

68
00:04:35,025 --> 00:04:37,225
<i> Spike!</i>

69
00:04:37,483 --> 00:04:40,777
<i>- He's in.
- Launching flares.</i>

70
00:04:45,566 --> 00:04:48,146
<i>- Altitude! Pull up.
- Cutter, you got this?</i>

71
00:04:48,233 --> 00:04:50,315
<i>- Altitude! Pull up.
- Cutter?</i>

72
00:04:50,316 --> 00:04:52,566
<i>Altitude! Pull up.</i>

73
00:04:54,733 --> 00:04:57,113
<i>- Whoo.
- I am shittin' diamonds here.</i>

74
00:04:59,275 --> 00:05:01,475
<i>Guns! Guns!</i>

75
00:05:02,983 --> 00:05:05,183
<i>Spike!</i>

76
00:05:06,816 --> 00:05:09,016
<i>Chaff. Flares.</i>

77
00:05:10,983 --> 00:05:14,766
<i>- Jacko, take 'em out.
- Copy that.</i>

78
00:05:16,525 --> 00:05:18,775
No joy, Cutter.
These columns are too dense.

79
00:05:22,608 --> 00:05:26,278
<i>Proximity caution.</i>

80
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,860
Jacko, shoot the columns.

81
00:05:39,816 --> 00:05:44,066
<i>- Cutter, they got a lock on us.
- Proximity caution.</i>

82
00:05:44,316 --> 00:05:46,516
Splash one, motherfucker.

83
00:05:49,565 --> 00:05:52,236
Straight ahead.

84
00:05:52,271 --> 00:05:54,141
Fuck, we're out of ammo.

85
00:05:58,483 --> 00:06:00,683
<i>- Cutter...
- I got it.</i>

86
00:06:15,066 --> 00:06:16,899
Pucker factor ten.

87
00:06:25,358 --> 00:06:27,357
Come on, boys.
First round's on Dave.

88
00:06:32,483 --> 00:06:34,683
I was wrong about you.

89
00:06:36,566 --> 00:06:38,976
<i> I was wrong about you.</i>

90
00:06:44,608 --> 00:06:45,857
Go!

91
00:06:45,858 --> 00:06:49,568
<i>I flew 19 more combat missions
with Lucky Thirteen.</i>

92
00:06:49,941 --> 00:06:52,531
<i>In all that time, not one casualty.</i>

93
00:06:52,608 --> 00:06:55,108
I have to admit, Lieutenant,
you've done pretty good for yourself,

94
00:06:55,191 --> 00:07:00,100
- even in this... antique.
- Thank you, sir.

95
00:07:01,191 --> 00:07:02,774
<i>On three separate sorties,</i>

96
00:07:02,775 --> 00:07:07,105
<i>Lucky Thirteen was the only flight-ready ship
left at the end of the mission.</i>

97
00:07:07,191 --> 00:07:11,372
You know, there's a pair of new
Whiskey Blackhawks on the way.

98
00:07:11,733 --> 00:07:14,233
Feel like trading in this bucket of bolts?

99
00:07:15,525 --> 00:07:18,105
<i>She brought us
home safely every time.</i>

100
00:07:18,483 --> 00:07:20,440
<i>Even when ground fire was so thick,</i>

101
00:07:20,441 --> 00:07:23,441
<i>you could step from the cockpit
to the ground on shrapnel shards.</i>

102
00:07:23,525 --> 00:07:27,079
<i>I do appreciate that, sir,
but she's my "bucket of bolts."</i>

103
00:07:27,114 --> 00:07:30,079
<i> And she always takes care of me.</i>

104
00:07:31,191 --> 00:07:33,981
<i>After the tenth mission in a row
without a scratch,</i>

105
00:07:34,650 --> 00:07:38,280
<i>the other pilots started to mean it
when they said "lucky thirteen."</i>

106
00:07:53,358 --> 00:07:55,688
Henhouse,
this is Ninja One One Two.

107
00:07:55,900 --> 00:07:58,550
The enemy's right on top of us.
Where's our ride?

108
00:07:58,691 --> 00:08:02,065
<i>- We're right here, Sergeant.
- Thank God.</i>

109
00:08:02,066 --> 00:08:04,526
<i>I'll keep up the suppressing fire.
Get your men aboard.</i>

110
00:08:04,608 --> 00:08:06,898
Copy that. Break off contact.

111
00:08:06,983 --> 00:08:09,233
Pierce, get him out of here.

112
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,065
Get in. Get in.
Hurry. Covering.

113
00:08:12,066 --> 00:08:14,266
Go! Go! Go!

114
00:08:15,816 --> 00:08:17,815
Enemy's regrouped
and they're coming in fast.

115
00:08:17,816 --> 00:08:19,440
- I'm in.
- Cutter, move!

116
00:08:19,441 --> 00:08:21,399
Roger that.

117
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,964
<i>Henhouse, this is Lima One Three.
Ninja One One Two secured.</i>

118
00:08:25,999 --> 00:08:28,141
<i>We're RTB.</i>

119
00:08:31,316 --> 00:08:33,649
Sergeant, how're your men
doing back there?

120
00:08:33,650 --> 00:08:36,150
We're good to go, ma'am.
That was close.

121
00:08:40,566 --> 00:08:42,399
Fuck!

122
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,524
Shit.

123
00:08:44,525 --> 00:08:47,105
Come on, girl.
Just get us through this.

124
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,610
No, no, no, no.
Brace for impact.

125
00:08:53,691 --> 00:08:58,239
<i>- Come on!
- Altitude! ...up. Altitude! ...up.</i>

126
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,321
<i>Cutter? Colby, you okay?</i>

127
00:09:22,441 --> 00:09:24,641
Yeah, I'm okay. You?

128
00:09:25,150 --> 00:09:27,480
- Rattled, but alive.
- We're good.

129
00:09:28,483 --> 00:09:30,983
Contact, two o'clock, 150 meters.

130
00:09:31,066 --> 00:09:34,686
Get those grunts out of here.
Get some cover and wait for evac.

131
00:09:35,233 --> 00:09:37,433
I'll warm up the cannon.

132
00:09:40,025 --> 00:09:43,105
I'll cover you until ammo's out,
then I'll scuttle.

133
00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:46,190
I'm not gonna let them take you.

134
00:09:46,191 --> 00:09:49,364
All right, boys, on me.
Move! Move! Move!

135
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,900
<i>Don't clump together.
Keep going!</i>

136
00:09:52,816 --> 00:09:55,476
Lee, move your ass!

137
00:09:59,025 --> 00:10:01,225
Come on, you fuckers!

138
00:10:06,816 --> 00:10:09,016
Fuck!

139
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,391
Fuck...

140
00:10:45,441 --> 00:10:47,781
God, I'm so fucking sorry.

141
00:11:09,233 --> 00:11:12,863
Five, four, three,

142
00:11:13,233 --> 00:11:15,433
two...

143
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,086
She doesn't want to go.

144
00:11:28,441 --> 00:11:31,416
<i>Enemy in sight. Fire at will!</i>

145
00:11:37,650 --> 00:11:39,980
You fuckers, get off my ship!

146
00:11:47,691 --> 00:11:49,891
Get down!

147
00:12:20,525 --> 00:12:22,775
<i>They patched us all up,</i>

148
00:12:23,650 --> 00:12:28,707
<i>gave me the Distinguished Flying Cross
for conspicuous bravery under fire.</i>

149
00:12:32,233 --> 00:12:34,863
<i>They gave me one of those
new Whiskey Blackhawks.</i>

150
00:12:36,150 --> 00:12:38,730
<i> It's a fine ship, top of the line.</i>

151
00:12:50,608 --> 00:12:54,068
<i>Still, I'd trade it in a split second</i>

152
00:12:54,150 --> 00:12:59,181
<i>to fly one more mission
in Lucky Thirteen.</i>

153
00:13:06,566 --> 00:13:11,347
<i>Lima One Three, we have
a visual on you. Prep for evac.</i>
