Top Gun: Maverick (2022): Maverick Goes Down Scene

That's it, kid. That's it. All right, let's go. Take it easy! Sir, Dagger 2 is re-engaging. All right, now hit your target and come home. Thirty seconds to target, Bob, check your laser. Air to ground check complete. Laser code verified. One, six, eight, eight. Laser is a go. Watch your heads. That's it. Holy s***! You with me? Right behind you! Phoenix, stand by for pop-up strike. Dagger 3 in position. Popping in 3, 2, 1. Come on. Oh my god. Get me eyes on that target, Bob. Dagger 3, stand by, man. Come on, Bob, come on. Stand by. I've got it captured. Target acquired. Bombs away. Anyway. Threat hit. Miracle number one. Dagger 2 status, almost there. Where's my laser? Rooster, there's something wrong with this laser! Come on, guys, we're running out of time. There's no time, I'm dropping blinds. Rooster, I got this, I got this! Bombs away, bombs away! We're not out of this yet. Comes morning, smoke in the air, Phoenix break right. Emergency jabs then, Dagger 3 defending. Here comes another one! Dagger 1 defending, Rooster status. Oh my god. Thanks, Rooster! Point countermeasures, negative contact. Talk to me, Bob! Break right, Phoenix! Break right! Ah! Nine o'clock! Nine o'clock! Rooster, two more on your six! Dagger two defending! Payback, Sam, under your nose! Dagger four defending! Rooster, tally-tally! Talk to me, Bob! On your six! Dagger two defending! Phoenix, break right! I see it! I see it! Right there! Right there! Dagger two defending! Rooster, evade! Evade! Can't shake them! They're on me! They're on me! No! Damn! Dagger 1, come in! I didn't see a parachute! We have to circle back. Command Chief. Bandits inbound. Single group hot. Recommend dagger flow south. One minute to intercept. He's out. Get him back to the carrier, now. All daggers flow to ECP. You have bandits headed for you. What about Maverick? Tell him there's nothing he can do for Maverick. Not in a goddamn F-18. Dagger Sparrow, request permission to launch and fly air cover. Negative, Sparrow. Launch search and rescue. Negative. Not with bandits in the air. Sir, Maverick is still out there. We are not losing anyone else today. Get him home now. Dagger, you are not to engage. Repeat. Do not engage. Dagger 2, return to carrier. Acknowledge. Acknowledge. Rooster, those bandits are closing. We can't go back. Rooster, he's gone. Maverick's gone. What the hell? are you doing here? She's the guy who saved your life! I saved your life. That's the whole point. What the hell were you even think- You told me not to think! It's good to see you. Good to see you too.
