energy that Marcus had kind of got me. And still to this day, it still gets me. Just FaceTiming him, I have such a connection to him. But making Lone Survivor and, you know, started with going to the Dietz family, the Axelson, the Murphy family, and asking for their blessing and telling the story. And all three of those meetings were very emotional.

I remember going to Danny's parents' house in Colorado and his father taking me into his bedroom. which they left kind of as it was, almost from a young age, or, you know, Hot Wheels and posters of girls and, you know, toys and all kinds of things. And there was also his uniform that had been recovered. And his father— That they recovered? Holy shit.

His father sat me down on Danny's bed, which is his bed from childhood. And he had a piece of paper and he started reading from the paper. And he started talking about, I remember hearing after action report, autopsy. And he started reading and he said, left knee, bullet. Left thigh, bullet. Groin, bullet. And I realized he was reading his son's autopsy report.

And I realized he was reading his son's autopsy report.

And he started shaking, and he said, abdomen, bullet. And I could see the tears falling out of his eyes and hitting that paper. And he finished, I can't remember how many times Danny Dietz was shot, but a lot. And he put the paper on my lap, and it was an autopsy report with his father's tears in it. And he said, that's who my son was. That's how tough my son was. You make sure you get that right.

And I thought to myself, okay, what the fuck have I gotten myself into with this? Not a joke. Very, very real to some degree. very good, decent human beings, parents and wives and siblings. And it was a tremendous amount of pressure to make sure that when I was done and I showed that film to not just the families, but the entire SEAL community, I think Admiral McRaven was running,

either SOCOM or the SEALs. I'm not sure what he was running when we finished, but I had to show it to him and all of those folks and the families and everyone in between. And every day I was making that film, I was thinking about the Murphys, the Deaches, the Axelsons. Marcus, and so was the whole crew. So was Mark Wahlberg. It became something much more than a movie for us.
