toward that spot. it's dark and smoky, but he makes it to the window. he opens it and drops out. only thing does he realize stevens and smith haven't followed. he goes back in several times, but can't find them. finally exhausted and choking, he climbs to the roof and radios alec henderson and dave ubin, two security agents elsewhere inside the compound. his message -- the ambassador and sean smith are missing. >> now, tig, you and jack and roneing going the front gate. it's open? >> when i was standing right here, the land cruiser came from this direction, i thought it was bad guys stealing the land cruiser. i drew down my weapon. then i saw it was d.s. guys driving it, i heard, hey, we can't find the ambassador, i started moving toward the front

porch, getting on the front porch. that's when they were pulling sean's body out of the window. >> sean smith? >> sean smith. >> but the ambassador is still lost? >> the ambassador is still lost. >> tig,ened you and rone go in, one of many times, and there's a moment there. >> he was saying, i can't find my way out. come to my voice, but he almost made another right into where the -- i think it was a dining room. it was just totally engulfed in flames. i reached out, grabbed him, said this way, and we just went out, and coughs up a couple lungs. >> you're back here, with d.b. >> yes, one libyan guards, and he says, open the gate, open the gate. i looked at the commander, i said when you come through this gate, you close it, you look it. i move forward. i find out later he didn't do it, and we paid for it down the

road. >> you've been there for a while, then you hear gunfire from outside the compound. then rocket-propelled grenade. >> all of a sudden a big explosion. >> where does it hit? >> it was over in this area, basically on the other side of where we were trying to amass and collect and get out of. another explosion comes off, coming from the gate that was left open. i just started returning fire. >> i was inside the safe haven. that's when i heard the explosion and the gunfire started cracking off. >> what did you do? >> i moved, crouched all the way down. at the same time the guy with an rpg moved into the view of the game. he was coming up here shoot, run away, come up here, shoot, run away. just as he was sheathing, i shot him. >> he went down. >> and then it was just weird, like a light switch, everything stopped. >> so you guys finally get together, you, what, give up the search for the ambassador? >> the team leader made the

you wanted to be with your team, but you also need you had a job to do there. >> i knew i was the only one -- we had two site security officers, who were a great help, but from the grs side, i was the only one that was there. >> the ds guys come back first, the armored car held up, but think roll in. >> i could hear when they were leaving, they announced it over the radio, and then i heard tons of gunfire, and knew kind of where they were at just from the direction, and all of a sudden they're calling, they're coming in -- >> hot? >> coming in hot, which means they're coming in fast, have the gate ready. you hear that flop-flop sound of the tires, they're on run flaps, but you hear that sound coming through. both sides in the front windshield, wind screen were all shot up. you could see the relief in their face. scott got out, he looked like a

chimney sweep. i told him to get inside, get some medical help. the other guys asked what they could do, and i told them to get up on the various buildings. we had one get up on each one of these buildings. i went back up on this building, until our guys come in. they knew where they needed to go. each one of them went to their pre-position, their preplanned positions. jack is up on this roof, rone is up here -- >> tanto and d.b. is here, tig is initially over here, and i'm over here. >> you guys are exhausted. some of you probably have smoke inhalation, and you're preparing for maybe another fight. >> just gut feelings we're going to get attacked. my adrenaline went back up.

>> it wasn't long after they showed up, you hear tires screeching over in this area. we started asking over the radio to the t.o. if fed 17 is coming over to assist us. the response was they're not sure. so we immediately assumed that anything that's coming in is cutting in are bad guys. >> i asked the status of the specter gunship, and the t.o. came across the radio, checking on it. that's the last time that i got an actual answer if we were going to get any support or not. >> i was expecting at least some kind of air support, even if it was just a fly-over by a jet, whatever. >> it gets the bad guys down. >> no doubt that would have been nice. >> i want to put it back up here so you can describe what's outside the annex that you're most concerned about. >> the stockyards. this is very -- a lot of concealment, a lot of bushes and

small trees. this is what we call zombieland. >> it's coming over from right at this intersection. they're starting to stage here. this is just a big open parking lot. here is the -- here's the house that -- we are seeing people start to go into that little area. >> they can come into here and it gives them access to our back gate. >> so you're watching this develop and these cars, the people going into this house that you don't really know if it's bad guys or not, and what's the engagement? you're going to wail unit they fire on you? >> wait until we see action from them that specifies them being attacks us, or going to attack us. i mean, i'm not going to wait to get hit before i hit back. >> we start to see movement coming from this direction through the night vision goggles. >> the caveat here is if this house had kids in there, that would actually come and pester

us. you just didn't want to open fire. i didn't want to shoot somebody that doesn't have it coming to them, and definitely don't want to shoot a child. they were starting to move us, and d.b. says, i've got movement. >> are you lagering them? >> yes, i'm picking out targets and see what i see. i god on the radio with oz, and he says, yeah, you've got user laser. >> can they see it? >> no. >> in my minder we're going to engage them. just let them get as close as possible and take them out. the first thing they fired was an rpg. it went flies over the compound. over myself and d.b.'s head. >> i was bringing water to oz. i got right about here, about the corner of the gym when a guillotina -- a huge --

>> a homemade bomb. >> a home democrat made explosive. >> it hits right here just inside. >> to me it was just okay, it's on, and we started fighting, lighting them up. i was lazing targets. what does it look like? >> it's gorgeous, awesome. >> a green hugh with the lasers dancing back and forth from target to target. you see three, four sets the lasers bouncing back and forth. you'll see a flash of light, which is the enemy shooting at you. the rounds going past your head. you're reengage -- >> anybody take a hit? >> yeah, me and tig were in this corner. they were trying to shoot out the lights, and secondary from one of the rounds hitting the wall or one of the lights splattered into my face and cut me across the bridge of the nose. >> you push back, you obviously take down a lot of people, and it stops.

>> to me, to explain it, it was like we won that game, good deal, morale goals up. >> we all could feel it wasn't over yet. that was the probe, they're going to see our defenses and coming back with a bigger force. that's what we would do. >> so there's a big break. >> two, two and a half hours. >> at what point do you hear about ambassador stevens? >> there was a dsa agent on the building with jack, and he got a phone call, and that's how we found out that he was at the hospital. >> by 1:00 a.m., local looters and curiosity seekers have entered the consulate grounds, and infiltrated the safe haven. six apparently good samaritans come across an unresponsive man. they take him to the benghazi medical center where he's worked on for 45 minutes before being declared dead. they have scott wickland's

phone, which had been given to ambassador stevens during the attack, calling wickland's stored numbers, someone gets to the american embassy in tripoli and says a man has been found and he's dead. the caller provide as description matching ambassador chris stevens. there's a car that pulls up, park right here, comes around from the side of the car, reaching like he's throwing something. right as he brings his arm back to throw, i engage him. i move and shoot him two to three times. he goes down, and whatever he threw landed just short of our back gate and exploded, which then engaged again it was the signal -- >> this was bigger. it was more -- it was a larger force coming through. i would say between 20 cars.

>> again, we just started engaging and taking them out. >> like ducks in a row, hitting one guy in the head and dropping. >> like a burst of fire. >> they were kind of spraying. they were just constantly spray >> we are doing controlled bursts, you aim, you shoot. it's not in the movies, you don't flip it on fully auto and go after it, because you can't hit anything. you're aiming a single shot, and shouldn'ting until they turn tail and. >> so as far as ak fire, and rpgs. are you worried that something heavier is coming? >> yes. >> waiting for a third? >> waiting for something bigger. like a bear? how about like you'ren vacation... in this place!

fighting. it's one of the reasons i'm doing what i do. not only for the people here, for the family back home, but primarily you're thinking about the team. that's your team, their family. we're all family now. we're all brothers. that's the way it is, and i mean, so you're thinking of this family here as much as that family there. >> most of the people are staged here, in c. >> i ended up on top of the command center, and building c was rone at this point. >> more cars come by. what happens then? >> we don't know what they're doing. we don't know if they're lost or still trying to probe us. >> there's a guy with a cell phone. he just walked up, cell phone, walked back, maybe getting gps -- >> it's eerie, i want to shoot him. weird things are still happening. we're trying to think, morale is up, we fought them off again.

i was expecting more cars. it was actually the first car was quite small, but you know, honestly i was just happy to see them. three of them i recognized, two of them i recognized. >> including glen doherty. >> navy s.e.a.l., connection with ron. >>, with jack, and you had worked -- >> we had just done a trip in tripoli before. i just knew him from contracting. >> so they come in, they go to building c. and you guys are still kind of waiting for what's happening? >> the aircraft they had wasn't big enough to take us all back. they were going to take the non-shooting personnel and get them out. >> to the airport? >> to the airport. we are going to stay and hold the alamo. >> literally.

>> literally. >> i think they had probably been there about an hour. we were wondering what's taking so long. the sun was starting to come up, but it was, you know, we better be ready for another attack, because this is when it's going to come. glen came up on the road. >> climbed up the ladder, came over, was talking to rone. and rone introduced me to him. and said, yeah, bud's a sniper. i said, hopefully we won't need you. i'm glad to have shooter. >> glen, bub turned, was walking back toward the front of the building and almost immediately a mortar came in and landed on top of the wall right there. >> i didn't even know i heard it. it basically sounded like when a rocket goes occupy, whoosh. >> small arms fire, rone had a machine gun.

he stood in probably like a three-quarter crouch position, and just started laying down hate, laying heat down through this avenue of approach. i started to engage with him. i ran out of ammo, knelt down, changed magazines. right as i'm coming up, and i start to reengage, another mortar hits almost to the center of is the building here. that one, it knocked me back. and that's what hit rone. rone was standing to mea left. i got knocked back. as i stood back, i saw him in the corner of my eye. he was in a fetal position. i stand up, and try to reengage with my rifle, i bring my hand up. from here down, it's hanging off at a 90-degree angle. >> your hand is just hanging. i keep trying to bring it up. it won't stay.

i could make it work. that's when the second round hit. that's when i saw bub go down about right here. i wasn't sure if he was hit or just taking cover. then i turned back and tried to engage, get my hand to come up. a third round hits in the same vicinity, and at that point i mean i just felt like i got stung by 1,000 bees just up and down my side. i figured i better get to some cover now in case another one comes. the whole night went quiet after that. >> tough to talk about? >> yeah. yeah, just a little. but, you know, it's what has to be done. you're in a fight. you've got to stay in the fight. that's the only thing i could think of. rone's down, somebody needs to continue firing. >> and you see this mortar

attack happen. what are you doing? >> i'm still -- i'm over here on tower 3, still, you know covering this area. to me it looks look like it hit right around here. we have no cover from mortar attacks. i'm surprised it didn't collapse. >> another explosion hits. when i heard another thump, i jump off the tower and moved back, somewhere around here. that's when the mortar hit, and once that mortar hit, it just was pitch black and dead quiet. jack came over and said, man, there's no movement. that's when i sprinted to the ladder, and then i just kind of scurried on up, jump over the parapet. that's when i saw dave off to my left. it looked like somebody in the center, and a couple other people over here, but still there was a -- smoke was still

up there from just the debris kind of settling down. so i moved over to dave, i find a tourniquet, because dave's leg was pretty much completely severed off, barely hanging on by a thread. same with hinge arm. >> ligaments, yeah. got the tourniquet on him, called back and said, i need help up here. i heard a noise. i moved to where the noise was. >> i was trying to get a tourniquet on. on myself. i was just trying to fix my arm, trying to put it back in place. >> he's just sitting there, hey, check this out. his arm is -- >> i'm like, dude, you nod to stop, you'll make it worse. he had a tourniquet there. i reached down, grabbed his tourniquet, threw it on him.

>> he asked me if imget to the ladder, and i'm like, yeah, i have to. >> you're pretty banged up. >> yeah, just a little bit. i got hit in the chest, up and down my side. i got hit in the throat, and i'm like, yeah, i guess i'll have to. so i hooked my top around arm many to the rung, k4r50i78d over, concentrating on just thinking, if i fall down, i'm going to break my neck and die. that's the last thing i want to do. so i'm just concentrating on getting my feet on the rung. sure enough i slipped. luckily i caught myself, pulled myself back up, got down, and then was able to inch my way down the ladder. >> after i got oz up and moving, i went straight back to rone. he was still in the fetal position. i rolled him over, there's no response, i ripped off his body

armor, and tried to, you know -- got that off, took a pulse, couldn't feel nothing, got the flashlight shining in his eyes, no pupil movements, you know, no didialation. i left him, went over to the other guy, pretty much did the same exact thing, and there was nothing. >> when you realized they're dead, what do you do? >> well, i just kind of said a prayer over each, both of them. >> the quote is -- god watch over him, guide him to where he needs to be, take care of his family. >> so after that, you know, i

kind of -- the d-boys, the whole time, they just want to get everybody off the roof. when i was doing the prayer, i just ignored them, you know. it was like, you know, gathered up everybody's weapons that was left. >> you've got to get the bodies off the roof. >> it's tough. >> the d-boys picked the bodies up and dumped them over the side of the roof -- maybe that's not the right description, but they got them off the roof the most expedient manner. by doing that, it was just throwing them over the edge of the roof. that's a personal decision, right, wrong, indifferent, but i
