Context:
Mark is tied up and going to be executed by beheading. Peter is a friend of Mark's, but he's not close to the scaffold (that's why I don't use just "call him"). What would the executioner say to Mark in a mocking and scornful way?
1- Come on Mark, yell at Peter and ask him for help.
2- Come on Mark, cry out for Peter and ask him for help.
3- Come on Mark, cry out at Peter and ask him for help.
4- Come on Mark, shout for Peter and ask him for help.
5- Come on Mark, call out to Peter and ask him for help.
Which ones are grammatically correct and which one is more idiomatic in the aforementioned context?
