00:01:12 >> You said she's a prostitute.

00:01:13 >> I got all these.

00:01:14 >> Well, you gotta understand what I'm coming to say.

00:01:16 >> If you could just see yourself right now, you look like you just had a lobotomy.

00:01:21 What's wrong with you?

00:01:22 >> This is reality.

00:01:24 >> Reality, my ass.

00:01:26 It's all made up.

00:01:27 Let me ask you this.

00:01:29 Huh?

00:01:30 How many times on this show have you seen the cops arrest, you know, killers and rapists or something like that?

00:01:38 How many times did they slap the cuffs on some crooked CEO fuck?

00:01:42 What can I get you?

00:01:43 >> Beer.

00:01:44 >> Beer. Bottle, draft?

00:01:45 >> Uh, draft?

00:01:46 >> Draft.

00:01:47 >> What you see is I'm always catching drug users in jobs, you know, people just hurting, just looking for a little pleasure out of life.

00:01:56 Three dollars.

00:01:57 >> What have you got against cops?

00:01:59 >> I got nothing against cops.

00:02:02 Jesus.

00:02:04 I'll tell you what I got something against.

00:02:07 I got something against stupidity.

00:02:09 Good old stupidity.

00:02:10 That's what I got something against.

00:02:11 There you go.

00:02:12 >> Keep it.

00:02:13 >> Oh, thanks.

00:02:15 >> You coming or going?

00:02:17 >> Passing through, kind of.

00:02:21 >> This is what I got.

00:02:22 A fly can go in your mouth and you wouldn't even know it.

00:02:25 You just swallow it because it's like the only protein you've ever had.

00:02:29 >> It's good beer.

00:02:30 >> Huh?

00:02:31 >> Good beer.

00:02:32 >> Yeah.

00:02:33 From Pennsylvania.

00:02:35 >> So how long have you had this place?

00:02:37 >> Too long.

00:02:41 >> It's real homey.

00:02:44 >> You think so?

00:02:47 Where the hell do you live?

00:02:49 >> New Hampshire.

00:02:50 Portsmouth.

00:02:51 Home of the Navy prison.

00:02:53 >> Yeah, I know the place.

00:02:55 >> You don't remember me, do you?

00:02:58 [ Indistinct conversations ]

00:03:01 >> Wait a minute.

00:03:16 It can't be.

00:03:18 >> Could be.

00:03:19 >> No way.

00:03:21 >> Way.

00:03:22 [ Laughs ]

00:03:24 >> Sweet Jesus, doc.

00:03:27 >> Wow, doc, nobody's called me that in a long, long time.

00:03:31 >> Fuck me, doc, you made it.

00:03:34 >> Yeah.

00:03:35 >> Wow.

00:03:36 Hey, O'Toole, look here.

00:03:38 There's an old nom buddy of mine.

00:03:40 I saved his life once.

00:03:42 >> You never saved my life.

00:03:43 >> Didn't think so.

00:03:45 >> You got to excuse me, doc.

00:03:47 Boy, I'm shit for names.

00:03:48 >> Shepherd.

00:03:49 Larry Shepherd.

00:03:50 >> Shep, that's right.

00:03:51 19-year-old kid, Navy corpsman.

00:03:54 >> Once.

00:03:55 >> Yeah, well, we were all something once.

00:03:57 Now we're just something else.

00:03:59 >> So you do remember me.

00:04:00 >> Of course I remember you.

00:04:02 >> You heard I got busted down to E1?

00:04:04 >> Yeah, yeah, most unfair.

00:04:07 Boy, green weenie.

00:04:09 They broke it off, and you...

00:04:13 How long was it?

00:04:14 Was it like, what, three years?

00:04:17 >> Ended up about two.

00:04:18 Good behavior.

00:04:19 >> Oh, well, see, that's not so bad.

00:04:23 >> Well, it was pretty bad.

00:04:25 It was a long time ago.

00:04:28 >> Yeah.

00:04:30 BCD?

00:04:31 >> Yeah.

00:04:32 But at some point, instead of calling it a bad conduct discharge,

00:04:35 I started calling it a better career decision.

00:04:37 [laughing]

00:04:39 >> Well, good day.

00:04:42 So how'd you find my lonesome ass?

00:04:45 >> Oh, it was easy.

00:04:46 The Internet.

00:04:47 You can't find anybody on the Internet these days.

00:04:49 >> Boy, that is really fucked.

00:04:51 [laughing]

00:04:53 So, Portsmouth, huh?

00:04:55 What do you do for a living there?

00:04:57 >> I'm a stocking clerk at the Navy Exchange.

00:05:00 >> You better be shitting me.

00:05:03 [laughing]

00:05:06 That's all right, that's all right.

00:05:08 [music]

00:05:19 Don't you go someplace when you close?

00:05:23 >> Like where?

00:05:25 >> I don't know, home?

00:05:29 >> It'll be there tomorrow.

00:05:31 [music]

00:05:36 [water running]

00:05:42 [water dripping]

00:05:51 [door opening]

00:06:01 [footsteps]

00:06:07 [water dripping]

00:06:12 [footsteps]

00:06:23 >> Reveille!

00:06:24 Reveille!

00:06:25 Drop your cuffs and grab your socks!

00:06:27 Reveille!

00:06:28 [laughing]

00:06:30 Hey, this is the last slice of pizza you wanted.

00:06:34 >> No.

00:06:35 >> That's it.

00:06:36 Once this is gone, there's no more pizza.

00:06:38 Are you sure?

00:06:39 Going once, going twice, gone.

00:06:41 [slurping]

00:06:43 Mm, I love cold pizza.

00:06:46 How do you want a beer?

00:06:48 You sure?

00:06:49 Hair of the dog.

00:06:51 >> Always works for me.

00:06:54 >> Oh, fuck.

00:06:57 I'm still a little fucked up from last night,

00:06:59 if you want to know the truth.

00:07:01 Oh, I think I'm getting a little too old for this shit, frankly.

00:07:08 What's the deal with the grill part of Sal's Bar and Grill?

00:07:12 >> Well, going to rust is the deal.

00:07:15 >> Oh, shoot that.

00:07:17 >> I guess people just lost their taste for an honest burger.

00:07:20 Why, are you hungry?

00:07:22 >> No, just curious.

00:07:23 >> Hey, you know what?

00:07:25 We got Mexicans here now, so we can get some chorizo con huevos.

00:07:29 Hey, we qualify for menudo if you got the balls for that.

00:07:33 >> No, thanks.

00:07:34 >> You want a bite?

00:07:37 >> There's something I want to show you, though,

00:07:39 if you're up for it.

00:07:40 >> Sure, I'm always up for it.

00:07:42 >> You got a car?

00:07:44 >> Of course I got a car.

00:07:46 I'm a fucking businessman.

00:07:53 You want to go now?

00:07:56 >> Yeah, whatever.

00:07:57 >> Fuck it.

00:07:58 [music]

00:08:20 >> I just fucking love it, you know?

00:08:23 It's priceless.

00:08:25 >> What is?

00:08:26 >> The Navy.

00:08:28 They put the cock to you,

00:08:30 and then they let you work in the Navy exchange.

00:08:32 >> I got five people working under me.

00:08:35 >> You're a fucking inspiration.

00:08:37 >> You know what amazes me about you?

00:08:39 >> It could be anything.

00:08:40 I'm a pretty amazing guy.

00:08:42 >> You turn the keys to your bar over to the guy who's asleep on your pool table,

00:08:47 and then you jump in your car, and you drive me to hell and gone,

00:08:50 and you don't even know where we're going.

00:08:52 I didn't think it would take so fucking long.

00:08:57 >> Take this left up here.

00:08:58 >> Right here?

00:08:59 >> Mm-hmm.

00:09:00 >> That's going into a church?

00:09:01 >> Yep.

00:09:02 >> Oh, no.

00:09:03 What are you doing here?

00:09:05 >> No, no, no, no.

00:09:06 You're going to love this.

00:09:07 I promise.

00:09:08 >> No.

00:09:09 Doc, look, I mean, you've seen one, you've seen them all, right?

00:09:10 >> No, this is going to be good.

00:09:13 >> Jeez.

00:09:14 What did you get me into here, huh?

00:09:17 >> As Christians, brothers and sisters, we have choices.

00:09:23 We can choose to lay down our will and follow God's will.

00:09:29 >> That's right.

00:09:30 That's right, Pat.

00:09:31 >> The question is, are you willing to do that?

00:09:34 >> Oh, my fucking God.

00:09:35 >> Not are you ready, but are you willing?

00:09:38 You see, because if you're willing, if you're willing, you can trust and believe that God will take care of the rest.

00:09:46 >> Yes, Lord.

00:09:47 Yes, he will.

00:09:49 See, it's a powerful thing.

00:09:51 >> What's he doing?

00:09:53 >> When you surrender to God's will and it takes hold of you, a powerful thing.

00:10:01 When you begin to take that moment to look deep inside yourself and ask the question, am I willing to surrender to God's will?

00:10:14 Well, you know what they call that when God answers?

00:10:17 See, when God answers, what they call that is you're having a God moment.

00:10:23 [Applause]

00:10:26 You see, when we stop to ask, are my choices, are they Christlike choices?

00:10:35 >> This dude is a first-class drinker, gambler, coxswain.

00:10:40 >> Shh.

00:10:42 >> Praise God, you're friends.

00:10:44 >> Most likely a speed freak.

00:10:46 >> Did you even find the place?

00:10:47 >> In all of the relationships where people are counting on your Christlike character.

00:10:57 >> Yes, sir.

00:10:58 >> A trusting that you will demonstrate Christlike integrity.

00:11:04 >> Oh, yeah.

00:11:13 >> I see we have some visitors amongst us here today.

00:11:17 Welcome, welcome, brothers, to our Sunday services.

00:11:20 Would you care to stand and perhaps introduce yourselves?

00:11:24 >> All right.

00:11:26 Name is Sal, Salvatore, Nealon, USMC, sergeant, retired.

00:11:35 Oh, hey, hey, come on, get up.

00:11:38 Guess who this lad is, huh?

00:11:41 >> It's Doc.

00:11:43 >> Huh?

00:11:44 Doc, also known as Larry Shepard, we're in the service together with your pastor.

00:11:50 Bless my soul.

00:11:51 Praise God.

00:11:52 Welcome.

00:11:53 Thank you for joining us in our fellowship this summer.

00:11:56 [ Applause ]

00:12:00 >> Mm.

00:12:02 Oh, man, oh, man.

00:12:05 Southern ham.

00:12:06 Thank you, ma'am.

00:12:09 All right, so listen up, Ruth.

00:12:11 I'm hoping that this old man appreciates you.

00:12:14 >> Oh, boy, I think he does.

00:12:16 >> Because if you ever don't, you pack your bag and you come live with Sal.

00:12:21 >> You don't have a wife.

00:12:23 >> No, ma'am.

00:12:25 Neither chick nor child.

00:12:28 I do have a lady friend, though.

00:12:31 But she don't cook with a damn.

00:12:33 She does have other talents, if you know what I mean.

00:12:37 >> What about you, Mr. Shepard?

00:12:40 Are you single or married?

00:12:42 >> Oh, I married a wonderful woman, Mrs. Mueller.

00:12:45 The light of my life.

00:12:47 I'm married.

00:12:48 Heart as big as anything.

00:12:51 Real pretty girl.

00:12:53 Great big smile.

00:12:55 >> Nice.

00:12:57 >> She, um, she had a little slowness because of a thing when she was born.

00:13:03 >> Wait, what's that mean?

00:13:05 She's retarded?

00:13:06 >> No, no, she could do anything that anybody else could.

00:13:11 She just was a little delayed.

00:13:14 >> Hmm.

00:13:15 >> Great mom, great wife.

00:13:17 >> Hmm.

00:13:18 Well, what does she do?

00:13:20 >> Oh, I'm sorry.

00:13:21 She, um, I lost Mary in January from breast cancer.

00:13:29 >> I'm so sorry.

00:13:32 >> I'm sorry, doc.

00:13:34 You know me.

00:13:35 I don't mean nothing.

00:13:37 We pay for what we say, Salvatore.

00:13:40 Yeah?

00:13:41 Well, put it on my tab.

00:13:43 >> It's okay.

00:13:44 You didn't know.

00:13:45 Your tab's long overdue, I suspect.

00:13:49 >> Do you have any children, doc?

00:13:53 >> Yes, just one, a son, Larry Jr.

00:13:57 >> Oh.

00:13:58 Well, Richard and I, we have a girl and a boy.

00:14:00 And we have four grandchildren.

00:14:02 >> Praise God.

00:14:03 Wait, is it Richard?

00:14:05 Honey, do we have some coffee or pie or something for our guests before we send them on their way?

00:14:11 Richard.

00:14:12 >> Oh, yes.

00:14:14 I have a peach cobbler for dessert.

00:14:16 >> Oh, peach cobbler, now we're living.

00:14:20 Ha-ha.

00:14:22 Ooh.

00:14:24 I -- you married up, Richard.

00:14:28 I'm glad to see you prevailing over your hardships, doc.

00:14:31 >> I do my best.

00:14:34 >> You at least seem to have turned out to be a decent man.

00:14:37 >> I try to be.

00:14:39 >> So do I.

00:14:41 >> Me too.

00:14:45 >> I, uh, I regret any role I played in all that foolishness that happened back in Vietnam.

00:14:55 >> It's okay.

00:14:58 >> What the hell happened to Mueller the mauler, huh?

00:15:02 I mean, what did you -- what, did you put him in the witness protection program?

00:15:08 You got him hiding under the couch or something?

00:15:11 >> Jesus.

00:15:13 >> I grew up, Sal.

00:15:15 I found my life's purpose on the way.

00:15:18 >> Good for you.

00:15:21 >> So what about you?

00:15:24 I always figured you for a lifer in the Marine Corps.

00:15:26 Is that the way things shook out?

00:15:30 >> Yeah.

00:15:32 Yeah, here we are, sure.

00:15:35 Expecting all the dominoes to fall just like they said they would.

00:15:39 I was ready to kill me some commies in San Diego, but they never showed up.

00:15:43 Hey, can you believe this?

00:15:46 People go to Vietnam on fucking vacation.

00:15:50 They pay good money to have their picture taken where 52,000 young Americans took their last dump.

00:15:56 Fuck me.

00:15:58 >> So you mustered out on principle?

00:16:00 >> I mustered out with a plate in my head on 100% disability, and that's the good news.

00:16:05 >> Boy, I wonder how that happened.

00:16:08 >> Oh, now that's a good story.

00:16:12 Fuck all if I can remember it.

00:16:14 I believe drink was involved.

00:16:18 Yes, yes, I'm sure of it.

00:16:23 Speaking of drink, this is the best water I've ever had.

00:16:29 You see, Ruth, I was on the shy side of insubordination most of the time, but I can get away with it on account of my dashing good looks and boyish charm.

00:16:40 I guess we should all be just grateful that we're still alive.

00:16:44 >> Amen.

00:16:45 >> Praise God.

00:16:46 I tell myself that.

00:16:49 Doc, you're not going to eat that?

00:16:52 Oh, God, I don't want it to go to waste.

00:16:57 >> You okay, doc?

00:17:01 >> Mm-hmm.

00:17:03 Whatever it is that's troubling you, it's probably best to talk about it.

00:17:11 >> My son.

00:17:14 Because of my son, I came here, found you guys.

00:17:20 Maybe I shouldn't have.

00:17:22 >> Your son?

00:17:23 >> Larry Jr.

00:17:27 A year ago, we joined the corps.

00:17:29 >> Rah.

00:17:31 >> And then two days ago, they came and told me that he'd been killed.

00:17:37 It was in Baghdad.

00:17:40 His convoy got ambushed.

00:17:43 They told me that he unloaded his weapon on them and he died with his band net in his hand.

00:17:51 He's coming home tonight.

00:17:54 He's going to be buried in Arlington.

00:17:59 Full honors, hero.

00:18:03 And I was wondering if you guys could come with me.

00:18:22 >> I can promise you, doc, you will meet your wife and son again in a better place.

00:18:42 >> Oh, come on.

00:18:43 >> All of this will seem like a momentary separation.

00:18:49 >> Oh, come on.

00:18:52 What better place are they going to, huh?

00:18:54 Las Vegas?

00:18:55 Miami beach?

00:18:56 >> Doc knows the place of which I speak, Sal.

00:18:59 >> Well, then show him.

00:19:00 He's got a map.

00:19:02 Or maybe he can look it up on the world wide internet, huh?

00:19:05 >> Well, one only knows it when one sees it.

00:19:09 And as far as you are concerned, sergeant, it's odds on that you shall never, ever see it.

00:19:14 >> Well, then I guess I'll never miss it.

00:19:16 >> Oh, you will miss it.

00:19:18 You will miss it dearly.

00:19:20 Each and every sweet moment of eternity.

00:19:24 You even know how long eternity is?

00:19:26 >> Yeah.

00:19:28 Ain't going to matter.

00:19:29 Let me ask you something.

00:19:32 With all the billions of people floating around in your heaven, how come none of them ever got the word back to the rest of us?

00:19:41 >> One of them did.

00:19:43 >> All right.

00:19:44 That guy.

00:19:45 Yeah.

00:19:46 Bit sketchy on the details if you ask me.

00:19:48 >> I'm not asking you.

00:19:50 >> Okay, doc.

00:19:51 Listen up.

00:19:57 I'm really sorry for your loss.

00:20:00 But I ain't going to blow a bunch of smoke up your ass.

00:20:04 The worst thing that could happen to anybody has landed on you.

00:20:10 And now you just got to deal with it.

00:20:13 >> Lord have mercy.

00:20:14 >> What?

00:20:16 >> You were a hazard when you were a younger man.

00:20:18 Now you're just an old fool.

00:20:20 >> What the hell are you talking -- I got your hazard dangling here.

00:20:24 >> I'm going to ask you to watch your language in my house.

00:20:27 >> What language is that?

00:20:28 >> And listen --

00:20:30 >> Guys, guys, I didn't want to cause any trouble.

00:20:36 >> Okay.

00:20:38 Doc.

00:20:41 I'm going to help you bury your boy.

00:20:43 Now I may not be able to get you up into heaven, but I can sure as hell get you to Arlington.

00:20:52 >> Miller?

00:20:55 >> I certainly would like to help you, doc, but he has to stay here and pray for you, which will be very helpful.

00:21:03 >> Richard.

00:21:04 >> Yes.

00:21:05 >> Could I see you for a moment?

00:21:07 >> Of course, dear.

00:21:08 >> Miller, please.

00:21:10 >> I don't get around so well anymore, as you can see, doc.

00:21:13 >> We'll just be in the car.

00:21:15 >> I know, but I don't think so.

00:21:19 No, no, it's impossible.

00:21:27 He is coming with.

00:21:28 That's affirmative.

00:21:29 >> No, he said he wasn't going to.

00:21:31 >> No, no matter what he said, I guarantee you his old lady is shaming him.

00:21:36 Okay?

00:21:37 She's in there right now saying --

00:21:39 >> Richard, you have to go with that poor man.

00:21:42 He needs you.

00:21:43 >> He will have qualified people to counsel him at Arlington.

00:21:46 >> Yes, but who will protect him from that Sal person?

00:21:50 >> Lord, that's right.

00:21:52 Shit always goes sideways when Sal's involved.

00:21:55 >> Richard, what in the world has happened to your vocabulary?

00:21:58 >> I'm sorry.

00:21:59 I'm sorry.

00:22:00 Just kind of slipped out.

00:22:01 I'm sorry.

00:22:05 >> You can't refuse friends in a time of need.

00:22:07 >> Friends?

00:22:09 I haven't seen these men in decades.

00:22:11 >> You can't refuse anybody.

00:22:12 You a preacher.

00:22:13 >> They represent a dark period in my life, Ruth.

00:22:16 A dark period.

00:22:19 >> And you represent God.

00:22:23 The man lost his son, Richard.

00:22:27 >> That's all I need to say.

00:22:43 >> Hey, I turned the radio on, but it's broke.

00:22:47 You got a boom box or something?

00:22:50 Want to play?

00:22:54 Hey, doc, you can move your chair back.

00:22:57 Separate.

00:22:58 There are individual controls.

00:22:59 Just underneath in the front there.

00:23:01 Give you some leg room.

00:23:02 Yeah, that's better, right?

00:23:06 So, Richard, what's the story with the collar now?

00:23:11 You got to wear that?

00:23:13 Is it like a tracking system so God knows where you are at all times?

00:23:17 You always have to wear that thing?

00:23:19 Can you relax?

00:23:20 >> I am relaxed.

00:23:21 >> Really?

00:23:22 >> Don't seem that way.

00:23:24 But if you say so.

00:23:26 I never knew your name was Richard in the years we were together.

00:23:29 Never.

00:23:30 I mean, it was always Bueller.

00:23:32 Richard.

00:23:33 >> Wow.

00:23:35 >> When you was a kid, did you go by Richie or Rich Dick?

00:23:40 You like dick?

00:23:41 >> Hmm?

00:23:43 >> I just never knew any brothers named Richard.

00:23:45 You know, I didn't know they named them that.

00:23:49 >> Richard Pryor.

00:23:50 >> Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:23:52 >> Richard Wright.

00:23:53 >> Yeah.

00:23:55 >> Richie Havens.

00:23:56 >> Oh, fuck.

00:23:57 >> Dick Gregory.

00:23:58 >> Oh, I stand corrected.

00:23:59 >> Little Richard.

00:24:01 >> Now, he likes dick.

00:24:05 Big dick, yeah.

00:24:07 What the fuck?

00:24:08 Look at this guy.

00:24:09 He's on my ass.

00:24:12 He's a truck on my ass.

00:24:13 Look at this.

00:24:14 >> Change lanes.

00:24:15 >> I'm not going to change lanes.

00:24:16 This is my lane.

00:24:17 This is my lane.

00:24:18 Get the fuck off my ass.

00:24:19 >> Just move over.

00:24:20 Come on.

00:24:21 Just get out the way.

00:24:22 Let him bite.

00:24:23 >> Okay, fuckhead, you want to play?

00:24:25 Let's play.

00:24:26 >> What are you doing, Sal?

00:24:27 >> You want to play?

00:24:28 Okay, just hold on, okay?

00:24:29 >> You trying to have an accident out here?

00:24:30 >> Just hold on.

00:24:31 >> No, I'm going to jackknife this motherfucker.

00:24:32 >> What is wrong with you?

00:24:33 >> You want to play?

00:24:34 >> Move.

00:24:35 Move over and let the guy get by.

00:24:36 >> All right, all right.

00:24:37 Shit.

00:24:38 Jesus.

00:24:39 Hey, you trying to get me killed out here?

00:24:40 Hey.

00:24:41 Fuck you, asshole.

00:24:42 Fuck you.

00:24:43 Hey, I'm talking to you, jack off.

00:24:46 You fucking asshole.

00:24:47 You fucking get me hurt out here, I will bury your fucking ass on the side of the road.

00:24:52 You hear me?

00:24:53 You understand?

00:24:54 >> Yes.

00:24:55 >> Keep your eye on the road, man.

00:24:57 >> Mueller has arrived.

00:24:58 >> Fuck around.

00:24:59 I got a wife and a congregation to get back to.

00:25:01 Fucking drive, man.

00:25:02 >> I'm driving.

00:25:03 I'm driving.

00:25:04 Woo.

00:25:06 I thought you was lost forever.

00:25:08 I really did.

00:25:09 [music]

00:25:30 >> Where are we supposed to go, doc?

00:25:35 >> Dover Air Force Base.

00:25:38 >> That's in fucking Delaware.

00:25:40 >> Right, Dover, Delaware.

00:25:46 >> So what are we doing here?

00:25:49 >> I don't know.

00:25:52 >> You said Arlington.

00:25:54 >> Well, yeah, that's what they said.

00:25:56 That's what they told me.

00:25:57 >> But now you're saying Dover.

00:26:00 >> Well, I guess they have to fly in some place first, so they fly into Dover.

00:26:05 >> Okay.

00:26:06 >> I'm sorry.

00:26:07 >> Okay, no, no, it's all right.

00:26:09 It's okay.

00:26:10 Dover it is.

00:26:13 >> Do you want me to drive?

00:26:18 >> Yeah.

00:26:19 >> Okay.

00:26:20 [music]

00:26:49 >> I wonder if something's wrong.

00:26:52 >> Nah, he's just the guard at the gate.

00:26:54 He don't know nothing.

00:26:58 >> I wonder if there'll be an honor guard and all that.

00:27:00 >> Well, they'll do something.

00:27:02 They'll be respectful, you know, but just not in public because they got a blackout on all that stuff this time around.

00:27:10 >> Yeah, no pictures of coffins, no reminders to the public.

00:27:13 >> It's all bullshit.

00:27:19 >> The body's in transit.

00:27:20 The plane is due at 0800 tomorrow.

00:27:22 Come back then.

00:27:23 You can wait in the hangar.

00:27:24 >> Okay, thank you.

00:27:25 >> In transit.

00:27:26 Everybody's always in transit, even when you're dead.

00:27:29 >> Come on, Sal.

00:27:31 >> It's okay.

00:27:32 >> Sorry.

00:27:33 [music]

00:27:40 >> How much is it, ma'am?

00:27:41 >> 35 even.

00:27:45 >> Oh, Doc.

00:27:47 What's with the wad?

00:27:49 >> They took up a collection at the exchange when they heard.

00:27:53 >> I see.

00:27:54 You got lots of friends.

00:27:56 >> Oh, they felt bad.

00:27:58 They just wanted to do something.

00:28:00 >> Here's your key.

00:28:01 >> Thank you.

00:28:03 >> Man, you guys ain't watching this?

00:28:04 >> Watching what?

00:28:05 >> Man, they got him.

00:28:07 >> Who?

00:28:08 >> Man, that son of a bitch, Sadler.

00:28:10 They got him in the spider hole.

00:28:12 >> The Iraqis in Baghdad celebrated, some with guns, some with cheers.

00:28:28 >> Fuck.

00:28:30 Can't blow smoke rings for shit now.

00:28:33 Used to be real good at it.

00:28:36 Something happened with my tongue or something.

00:28:42 When the doctor helped.

00:28:45 Look at this fucking guy.

00:28:47 Fogged me.

00:28:49 One day he's the head of a country.

00:28:51 Next day he's just some fuck hiding out in a spider hole.

00:28:57 Scared to death.

00:29:00 [Music]

00:29:22 >> He told me not to worry.

00:29:49 >> Mr. Shepard.

00:29:53 Mr. Shepard, I am colonel Willits.

00:29:56 President of the United States has asked me to express his deep regrets that your son was killed in action.

00:30:02 >> Thank you.

00:30:03 >> He died a hero in the service of his country.

00:30:06 He was an inspiration to his fellow Marines.

00:30:12 >> Can I see him?

00:30:14 >> Sir, that would be ill advised.

00:30:16 Trust me on this, you do not want to see him like that.

00:30:20 >> Is it against the rules?

00:30:21 >> No.

00:30:23 But the lance corporal was hit in the back of the head.

00:30:25 I assure you he felt no pain.

00:30:28 But the exit wound in such a case is devastating to the face.

00:30:39 >> They were behind him?

00:30:40 Shot him from behind?

00:30:42 >> Take the colonel's advice, doc.

00:30:44 It's best to remember him as he was.

00:30:53 I'd have to see him.

00:30:55 But that's just me.

00:30:58 The thing is, you don't have to listen to no colonels no more.

00:31:03 Those days are gone.

00:31:11 I'd like to -- I'd like to see my son.

00:31:18 >> Sir, what you will see, you will not be able to unsee.

00:31:23 >> I understand.

00:31:24 I just -- I feel like I have to.

00:31:26 >> As you wish, sir.

00:31:28 Lance corporal Washington, please escort these two gentlemen to the coffee mess.

00:31:32 >> Yes, sir.

00:31:37 >> Mr. Shepard, come with me.

00:31:51 >> Hey, kid, stand at ease, will you?

00:31:54 Give me a fucking stiff neck.

00:31:58 >> I've never heard anyone talk to the colonel like that.

00:32:01 >> Colonels don't scare me.

00:32:03 Never have, never will.

00:32:05 >> You a marine?

00:32:10 >> Yeah, I thought so.

00:32:12 >> I got more time in the chow line than you got in the corps.

00:32:16 >> You too?

00:32:18 >> Hoorah.

00:32:20 Semper fi, do or die, how do you think I got this cane?

00:32:27 Hey, kid, what the fuck's with your ear?

00:32:30 >> Baghdad boil.

00:32:32 >> Say what?

00:32:33 >> Baghdad boil.

00:32:35 Everybody's got one.

00:32:37 Get bit by a teeny sand fly over there and -- fucking frankenier.

00:32:43 >> Jesus.

00:32:44 >> Say it will go away in a year or two.

00:32:47 >> Oh, yeah.

00:32:48 You can count on that.

00:32:50 >> One fucking ugly ear.

00:33:04 This is a big mistake.

00:33:06 Big mistake.

00:33:08 >> Hey, hey, hold on.

00:33:09 It's not like there's something you can do about it now.

00:33:12 Unless you're going to go over there and out tough the colonel.

00:33:14 >> I don't want nothing, all right?

00:33:16 I'm just along for the ride.

00:33:18 >> Yeah, right.

00:33:21 >> So you two were in on Larry's dad?

00:33:24 >> We were.

00:33:25 >> You guys know what the fuck happened back then?

00:33:27 >> No.

00:33:28 We're just pulling triggers, killing gooks.

00:33:32 >> Larry said his dad wound up doing brick time behind it.

00:33:36 >> Yeah, that's all in the past now.

00:33:39 >> What do you know about that?

00:33:41 >> Sounded like he fucked some dudes up.

00:33:43 >> Well, some dudes fucked him up.

00:33:46 >> Are you them dudes?

00:33:48 >> What exactly did he tell you?

00:33:51 >> Only that some bad shit went down.

00:33:54 And I was Larry's best friend, all right?

00:33:56 So no one else knew anything about it.

00:34:00 >> So you were with him during the ambush?

00:34:03 >> Ambush?

00:34:04 >> The ambush.

00:34:05 The ambush and the firefight, they said.

00:34:10 >> Okay.

00:34:11 >> Okay?

00:34:12 >> Okay.

00:34:13 >> What the fuck is that?

00:34:14 Okay?

00:34:15 >> That's what the sander was, and that's what it was.

00:34:17 >> Hey, come on, you're his friend.

00:34:20 You were there, right?

00:34:21 >> What happened?

00:34:22 >> Come on, kid, don't stonewall us.

00:34:25 He ain't looking at you.

00:34:27 Come on, it's just us, marine to marine.

00:34:29 >> Jarhead to jarhead.

00:34:32 >> It was fucked.

00:34:34 Me and Shepard and three other guys were all day

00:34:36 humping school supplies.

00:34:38 We had tablets, pencils, some new books.

00:34:41 It was our last run.

00:34:43 Anyway, we was always stopping at this little store

00:34:46 we called Abdul's Haji Mart, Haji Cokes.

00:34:50 It was my turn to make the run, but Shepard said he'd do it,

00:34:53 so he goes, and we're bullshitting, and this

00:34:55 raghead comes up, shouts out, "Dollar, hot bar,"

00:35:02 whatever the fuck.

00:35:04 God is great.

00:35:06 Puts a cap in Shep's head.

00:35:10 Jesus.

00:35:12 What happened next?

00:35:14 >> Shit, man, we went off.

00:35:17 Lit 'em all up.

00:35:20 The raghead Abdul, damn near old fucking hood.

00:35:25 Carried Larry back to the Hummer and went home.

00:35:31 >> You know, the kid's supposed to get the bronze star

00:35:33 behind this.

00:35:35 >> Yeah.

00:35:37 He'll get the star.

00:35:39 The more stars, the better, right?

00:35:41 >> Yeah.

00:35:42 >> Right.

00:35:44 We can't tell him about this.

00:36:03 >> We can't?

00:36:04 >> No, no.

00:36:05 We can't?

00:36:07 >> No, let him have his bronze star.

00:36:09 Let him have his burial at Arlington with full honors.

00:36:12 Let him have his hero.

00:36:14 Lord knows a man ain't had nothing but pain in his life.

00:36:17 >> In other words, let him have the lie.

00:36:19 >> Think about it and tell.

00:36:21 What's more important?

00:36:23 >> I don't know, but it's never the lie.

00:36:26 >> Sal.

00:36:28 Sal.

00:36:30 >> I'm sorry, sir, but there's always a sound reason

00:36:33 for my recommendations.

00:36:36 >> Sal, he doesn't have a face anymore.

00:36:43 >> I'm sorry, sir.

00:36:48 I'm sorry.

00:36:50 I'm sorry.

00:36:52 I'm sorry.

00:36:54 I'm sorry.

00:36:56 >> You gotta be a man now.

00:37:14 Hey, mister.

00:37:18 >> Sal.

00:37:20 >> How did this boy wind up dead?

00:37:23 >> I beg your pardon?

00:37:25 >> I think it's a pretty simple question.

00:37:27 What happened?

00:37:29 >> Lance Corporal acquitted himself with dignity and honor,

00:37:31 and he died a hero.

00:37:33 >> Yeah, but I mean, they're all heroes, ain't they?

00:37:37 >> That they are, sir.

00:37:39 >> Yeah, all heroes.

00:37:40 No question.

00:37:42 How did it happen that this boy was shot in the back of the head

00:37:46 like a fucking dog?

00:37:49 >> He was a brave Marine.

00:37:51 Credit to the Corps.

00:37:53 And he served his country well.

00:37:55 >> Yes, he did.

00:37:57 So did we all.

00:37:59 Every one of us here.

00:38:01 And we'd do it again if we had the chance.

00:38:04 >> What's going on, Sal?

00:38:06 >> I don't know.

00:38:07 That's why I'm asking.

00:38:09 >> Shouldn't we be making funeral arrangements?

00:38:11 Isn't that why we're here?

00:38:13 >> One second.

00:38:15 Now, were you there when this happened?

00:38:17 >> No, I wasn't.

00:38:20 >> So where were you?

00:38:22 >> With all due respect, sir, that is none of your business.

00:38:26 >> Oh.

00:38:28 Oh, I see.

00:38:30 With all due respect.

00:38:33 Doc, ought to be able to talk to somebody who was there.

00:38:38 You weren't.

00:38:41 All right.

00:38:43 Were you?

00:38:46 [sniffles]

00:38:48 >> Yes, sir, I was there.

00:38:57 >> Very well.

00:38:59 Let's Corporal Washington tell them what happened.

00:39:03 [somber music]

00:39:09 ♪ ♪

00:39:15 >> So where were you at with all this?

00:39:35 >> Pretty much where we were before.

00:39:38 >> Doc wants his son's face back.

00:39:42 >> Can't blame him for that.

00:39:45 I called my wife.

00:39:50 I'm going home.

00:39:52 I'll be taking the bus.

00:39:55 >> So you're quitting?

00:39:57 >> Quitting what?

00:39:59 >> Why don't we find out?

00:40:05 [footsteps]

00:40:07 >> So, Doc, what are we gonna do here?

00:40:17 >> I can't bury him in Arlington.

00:40:21 Not now.

00:40:23 >> He qualifies and he deserves that honor.

00:40:25 >> Here.

00:40:26 This is what he looked like.

00:40:28 >> Let me see it.

00:40:30 >> Handsome boy.

00:40:31 >> Wow. Yeah.

00:40:33 Girls are crazy about him.

00:40:36 [sighs]

00:40:37 My handsome boy.

00:40:39 I'm taking Larry home.

00:40:41 >> Sir, I can assure you that is a bad decision,

00:40:44 and you will come to regret it.

00:40:47 Sir, sir, sir, sir, please stop.

00:40:49 Sir, sir.

00:40:51 The Marines will transport the body for you

00:40:54 at no cost to you, anywhere you choose.

00:40:57 [thudding]

00:40:59 Stop.

00:41:00 [grunts]

00:41:02 I cannot legally release the Lance Corporal's body

00:41:04 to anyone except a licensed mortician.

00:41:08 >> Or a clergyman.

00:41:10 Isn't that so, Colonel?

00:41:13 >> Correct.

00:41:15 >> Well...

00:41:18 it looks like...

00:41:21 that...

00:41:23 will be me.

00:41:25 Lance.

00:41:31 [grunts]

00:41:33 >> There we go.

00:41:48 There.

00:41:53 >> Not gonna fit.

00:42:00 >> How you gonna get him home now?

00:42:02 What you gonna do, Sal?

00:42:03 Strap the coffin to the roof of your car?

00:42:07 >> We could do that.

00:42:09 Just need a little help lifting it up, huh?

00:42:12 Maybe we can get that kid with the fucked up ear.

00:42:14 >> Don't be ridiculous.

00:42:15 >> Why not?

00:42:16 You know a better way to be?

00:42:18 You wish you could be ridiculous,

00:42:20 but it's too late now.

00:42:21 >> Doc, you gotta let the government

00:42:23 transport the body.

00:42:24 I mean, it's the kind of thing they're good at.

00:42:26 >> I--I don't like the government right now.

00:42:28 >> Well, you don't have to.

00:42:30 >> I don't trust it anymore.

00:42:31 >> Hey, you know what?

00:42:32 We can rent a truck.

00:42:33 >> You know what? Let's do that.

00:42:35 Uh, you take the car, we'll stay here.

00:42:38 Go find a truck.

00:42:39 >> All right.

00:42:40 >> And pay for it out of that.

00:42:41 >> One truck coming up.

00:42:42 >> I'm coming with you, Sal.

00:42:43 You can drop me at the bus station.

00:42:46 I think I gotta be getting back home now, Doc.

00:42:50 >> I understand, Mueller.

00:42:51 I'm sorry I dragged you all the way up here.

00:42:54 >> I really thought I could be of some help to you.

00:42:56 You know, I mean, I thought we were going to a funeral.

00:42:58 >> We are going to a funeral.

00:43:00 Just looks like it's gonna take a little longer to get there.

00:43:02 >> It's okay.

00:43:04 I'm just glad I got a chance to see you again.

00:43:08 >> Yeah.

00:43:10 I'm very happy I got to see you again, Doc.

00:43:14 >> Hey.

00:43:17 >> God bless you, Doc.

00:43:20 Keep you in my prayers.

00:43:23 >> God bless you, too, lad.

00:43:36 Let me ask you something, man to man.

00:43:42 You ever wonder what would have happened way back then if we hadn't --

00:43:48 >> Doc wouldn't have ended up doing two years in the brig, that's for sure.

00:43:53 And you and me, we wouldn't have had to seen what we did.

00:43:58 >> What was that?

00:44:00 >> Are you shitting me?

00:44:03 You tell me you don't remember.

00:44:05 >> I remember a lot of shit.

00:44:09 What are you talking about?

00:44:11 >> A certain platoon buddy getting shot.

00:44:15 Driving around on the ground dying with nothing to give him to ease his pain because we had already taken all the morphine.

00:44:22 >> God rest his soul.

00:44:25 There was nothing we could do at that point.

00:44:27 >> And we did nothing.

00:44:31 >> And sometimes you got to do a little more.

00:44:49 >> I have a van that will work for you.

00:44:51 >> All right.

00:44:52 >> But I think you might be happier with a truck that's got a hydraulic tail lift.

00:44:57 >> Hydraulic lift, I like that.

00:45:00 >> What will you be hauling?

00:45:02 >> You know, a truck with a lift will handle it.

00:45:05 >> Will you be dropping it off back here or at another location?

00:45:10 Don't you know?

00:45:12 >> No, I guess I'll be dropping it off here.

00:45:14 >> And when will that be?

00:45:17 >> What are you looking at me for?

00:45:19 I don't know how many days.

00:45:22 >> You don't know how long you're going to need it?

00:45:24 >> No, I don't know how long I'll need it.

00:45:26 Give me a week.

00:45:27 >> Oh, yeah, a week, he says.

00:45:30 >> Come on, it's out of your hands, all right?

00:45:33 Why don't you sit down, take a load off, and let the mountain come to Mohammed, all right?

00:45:39 Chill, all right?

00:45:43 >> I need to see your driver's license.

00:45:45 >> Yeah.

00:45:47 Here you go.

00:45:50 Oh.

00:45:52 These are free, right?

00:45:54 >> Northbrook, Virginia.

00:45:56 >> Yeah, got to live somewhere.

00:45:59 >> Will you be the only driver?

00:46:01 >> No, no, I'll have some help.

00:46:03 >> Then I'll need to see the other driver's license.

00:46:06 Is it this gentleman here?

00:46:08 >> I stand before the God.

00:46:10 His holiness?

00:46:12 No, no, his holiness can hardly walk, let alone handle a big rig with a hydraulic lift.

00:46:20 >> Whoever, I'll need their license.

00:46:21 >> I will dwell in the house of the Lord.

00:46:23 >> What are you doing with the bouncing?

00:46:24 What is that?

00:46:25 >> I'm speaking a psalm.

00:46:27 >> A psalm?

00:46:28 Oh.

00:46:30 As in a psalm of bin Laden.

00:46:35 >> So you are the only driver?

00:46:37 >> Yes, ma'am, I be the wheel man.

00:46:40 >> How will you be paying?

00:46:42 >> Oh, okay.

00:46:45 Take it out of this.

00:46:54 >> 16 or 60, you put a dude behind the wheel of a big rig like this, you got to feel like hot shit.

00:47:00 >> This is a rented U-Haul with an automatic transmission.

00:47:03 >> This is bigger than anything you ever handled.

00:47:06 >> Sal, Doc's boy is dead.

00:47:08 Try not to forget that.

00:47:10 >> I haven't forgotten that.

00:47:12 Jesus.

00:47:14 Well, we're still alive, right?

00:47:15 >> Praise God.

00:47:16 >> With time ticking fast away.

00:47:18 So if there's one minute that's not too terrible, I'd like to try to enjoy it.

00:47:22 >> All right.

00:47:24 >> I mean, you used to be out for some fun.

00:47:26 >> I still am.

00:47:27 >> Oh, yeah.

00:47:28 As long as it's right in God's eyes.

00:47:30 >> What do you say, God's eyes?

00:47:32 God doesn't have any eyes.

00:47:33 >> Oh, yes, he does.

00:47:34 >> Oh, yeah.

00:47:35 >> God has eyes and he has ears.

00:47:37 And he hears every insult that you send his way.

00:47:40 You believe me when I tell you, Sergeant, there will be a reckoning.

00:47:43 >> Oh, a reckoning.

00:47:45 >> Yeah, God is my witness.

00:47:46 I can assure you of that.

00:47:48 >> Great, then, because I reckon that I would take that opportunity to stand at attention and say to God,

00:47:54 "Hey, where were you when they're raping children and the genocide and all that?

00:48:00 Where were you when they flew airplanes into the buildings and killed thousands of people who were just going to work?

00:48:06 Where were you when Doc's kid was just buying Cokes for his buddies and some raghead come up and shoot his face off?

00:48:14 Where were you?"

00:48:16 You see, I'm not going to stand there and try to explain myself to him.

00:48:20 I'm going to make God explain himself to me.

00:48:22 >> Oh, right.

00:48:23 >> Yeah, and I think by the end of it, he'll say, "Hey, come on, get in here.

00:48:30 You're my kind of dude.

00:48:32 You give me one of these."

00:48:36 >> All right, well, good luck with that.

00:48:38 I'll be praying for you, yeah?

00:48:40 >> Yeah, well, I'll be hoping for the same thing.

00:48:43 But, boy, if it's a tight-ass God, then I am fucked.

00:48:47 >> Yeah, I think it's time for that lube job on that plate in your head.

00:48:51 >> Hey, stay the fuck away from my plate, all right?

00:48:53 I'm picking up W.R. from New York.

00:48:56 I'm homesick.

00:48:58 Hey, wait a minute, maybe--

00:49:00 [music]

00:49:01 Oh, no, no, no, you haven't turned that shit off.

00:49:05 >> So you know about this stuff, right?

00:49:07 >> All right, now, I have been known to get in a face or two.

00:49:12 Even I'm offended by this stuff.

00:49:14 I mean, it's damn hard to dance to.

00:49:16 >> Well, that is one thing that we can finally agree on.

00:49:19 >> Here you go.

00:49:20 >> Aren't you a little ashamed being an African-American?

00:49:24 >> No, not really.

00:49:25 Why should I be?

00:49:26 >> Because being a dignified gentleman such as yourself,

00:49:30 you would be the first to agree that this is so far away from white motel.

00:49:36 >> Right?

00:49:37 >> I don't have to be ashamed of it.

00:49:38 I mean, this dude is white.

00:49:45 White, that's affirmative.

00:49:47 White is right.

00:49:48 >> Yeah, this guy is white.

00:49:49 Word to God.

00:49:50 >> This is coming out of a white mouth.

00:49:52 >> A white sewer mouth.

00:49:54 >> Bullshit.

00:49:55 >> Nope, I bullshit you not.

00:49:58 >> Fuck me.

00:50:00 Well, then I ought to be a little ashamed.

00:50:03 >> Hey, I never really identified with the white race.

00:50:07 >> Oh, really?

00:50:08 >> No.

00:50:09 >> Oh, now I'm curious.

00:50:11 >> No.

00:50:12 >> Now, what race do you identify with?

00:50:15 >> Green.

00:50:17 >> Green?

00:50:18 >> Yeah.

00:50:19 The core.

00:50:21 >> Okay.

00:50:22 >> I mean, it's really the only culture I ever really thought made sense.

00:50:29 >> All right.

00:50:31 Let me ask you something.

00:50:33 You ever miss it?

00:50:36 >> Not for one blessed minute.

00:50:39 >> I don't believe you.

00:50:41 >> It's all right.

00:50:42 You don't believe in God either, but trust and believe he believes in you.

00:50:55 >> Hey, no problem?

00:50:56 >> No, no problem.

00:50:58 >> Unless being trapped on the bus for seven hours is a problem.

00:51:01 >> No, no, no.

00:51:03 Buses are real nice now.

00:51:05 They got recliners and shitters in the back.

00:51:09 Hey, maybe you'll meet some poor redneck and save a soul.

00:51:14 You get extra points for that.

00:51:17 I mean, does it work off a point system?

00:51:20 >> I'll tell you when I get there.

00:51:24 Look, I just hope I can get some sleep.

00:51:26 I didn't sleep so good last night.

00:51:27 >> I know.

00:51:28 Me neither.

00:51:29 Hey, this will keep you awake.

00:51:32 >> Huh?

00:51:34 Oh, no, that'll play heavy with my teeth.

00:51:38 >> You remember when we could sleep in a hole in the ground, bullets whizzing overhead?

00:51:43 >> Jesus.

00:51:45 >> You can't go back, son.

00:51:47 >> No, I would want to.

00:51:50 >> We can't redo the choices we made back then.

00:51:52 The best we can do is learn from them and try to do better in the future.

00:51:56 >> I hear that.

00:51:57 >> But you're still going to do it anyway, huh?

00:52:00 >> Huh?

00:52:02 >> You're going to take Doc and his dead boy back to Portsmouth, try to make it fun?

00:52:07 >> You ought to come with.

00:52:11 >> Ah, come on.

00:52:20 >> There.

00:52:21 >> There, well, I better get back.

00:52:24 >> I still can't believe it.

00:52:27 You, of all people, a preacher.

00:52:33 >> That's goddamn right.

00:52:34 >> Oh.

00:52:40 Hey, you ever think that, I don't know, we might bump into each other again, you know, from time to time?

00:52:48 >> I don't know.

00:52:50 >> He moves in mysterious ways.

00:52:55 >> That he does.

00:52:58 >> All right, Padre, take care of yourself.

00:53:01 I'll see you for Sunday supper.

00:53:03 >> Bless you.

00:53:04 >> Thanks.

00:53:05 Why, did I sneeze?

00:53:12 >> I got you.

00:53:22 >> All right.

00:53:25 Hang on, Doc.

00:53:26 One, two, three.

00:53:39 You know, I keep wondering, Doc, what your kid would have wanted.

00:53:47 >> To drink beer with his friends.

00:53:50 To chase girls.

00:53:53 He was only 21, he wasn't thinking about dying.

00:53:56 >> Yeah.

00:54:00 You know, Doc, you can make this a whole lot easier on yourself.

00:54:04 >> I don't want to make it easy on myself.

00:54:10 >> Yeah, you're right.

00:54:13 Guys like us, we take all that shit till it's a disaster.

00:54:18 And then we're cool.

00:54:20 The worst has happened, like we know it would.

00:54:26 >> They sent him off to a godforsaken desert.

00:54:29 Why?

00:54:33 >> Who knows?

00:54:36 It wasn't to protect America.

00:54:39 It's like that jungle they sent us to.

00:54:42 It was no threat to us.

00:54:46 And then they send him back to me in this.

00:54:49 With more lies.

00:54:52 A hero honors Arlington.

00:54:59 >> Well, I am not going to bury a Marine.

00:55:04 I'm just going to bury my son.

00:55:11 >> Yeah.

00:55:25 >> Taking a bus today?

00:55:27 >> Yes, to Richmond.

00:55:29 >> Richmond, huh?

00:55:30 That home for you?

00:55:32 >> No, but close.

00:55:33 Why?

00:55:35 >> So you're the one they call the muller.

00:55:38 >> The what?

00:55:40 >> Muller.

00:55:43 >> I'm waiting for a bus to Richmond.

00:55:47 Minding my business.

00:55:49 Reading the scriptures.

00:55:51 >> The bible.

00:55:53 Checking out the competition.

00:55:56 >> Who are you two and what do you want from me?

00:55:58 >> That depends.

00:56:00 >> We're from homeland security.

00:56:02 >> What?

00:56:08 >> What's up, red guy?

00:56:15 >> Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:56:16 >> Hold it right there.

00:56:28 >> He used to mean something, you know?

00:56:30 A spree to core.

00:56:33 A unity.

00:56:35 Some well-earned pride and some goddamn common sense.

00:56:38 I don't even know what it means anymore.

00:56:40 >> You know what?

00:56:41 Fuck them.

00:56:42 >> Yeah, fuck them.

00:56:43 >> Fuck them all.

00:56:44 >> Fuck them all, that's right.

00:56:46 Spent the best years of my life defending this country.

00:56:49 >> Your best years are still ahead of yourself.

00:56:51 >> Fuck off.

00:56:52 >> No, it's true.

00:56:53 >> Look at me, doc.

00:56:54 My future is behind me.

00:56:56 Got a scrambled brain held together with a steel plate.

00:56:59 They look at me and what do they see?

00:57:01 A fucking terrorist.

00:57:02 >> An apology would have been nice.

00:57:04 >> Yeah.

00:57:05 Sorry, all right.

00:57:07 Sorry they didn't smoke our asses.

00:57:09 [knocking]

00:57:11 >> Don't get it.

00:57:14 Doc.

00:57:21 Oh, shit.

00:57:27 Where did you forget your toothbrush?

00:57:30 Jesus.

00:57:36 I had to call my wife from the police station.

00:57:42 You hear me?

00:57:44 From the police station.

00:57:47 >> All right.

00:57:48 >> What happened?

00:57:51 After they ID'd me as the Reverend Richard Mueller,

00:57:56 found that I am not a Muslim radical nor am I a mullah.

00:58:01 [laughing]

00:58:03 Mullah the mauler.

00:58:06 Oh, fuck, it's all over, isn't it?

00:58:08 The country's fucked.

00:58:09 >> Was Ruth upset?

00:58:10 >> Oh, she was very upset.

00:58:12 Wanted me to come home right away, but I said,

00:58:14 "No, no, no, no, honey.

00:58:16 There are times that demand that even old men

00:58:19 should become threats."

00:58:21 >> Fucking A right.

00:58:22 It's like during the pinko scare.

00:58:23 >> I thought I was talking.

00:58:25 >> Yeah, you were.

00:58:26 I told my wife I am not coming home.

00:58:29 Not until we're done here.

00:58:33 >> Where's your boy?

00:58:34 >> They got him again.

00:58:36 >> Tomorrow we're going to get him back.

00:58:39 And then we're going to take him home.

00:58:41 >> Turn hook.

00:58:48 >> Gentlemen, good morning.

00:58:55 >> So, Colonel whatever your name is, where's Larry?

00:58:59 >> Willits.

00:59:00 It's Colonel Willits.

00:59:03 I've been briefed on yesterday's snafu.

00:59:06 Completely ridiculous.

00:59:07 Apparently the U-Haul agent went off the deep end.

00:59:10 But there it is, and what's done is done.

00:59:13 I hope that given further time for reflection,

00:59:24 you can see that Arlington is a resting place

00:59:26 that should not be refused in anger.

00:59:29 There lie heroes, sir.

00:59:32 The details of the Lance Corporal's death

00:59:34 are what they are, but make no mistake,

00:59:36 his death was heroic.

00:59:38 He was in a foreign and hostile land

00:59:40 doing the decent thing.

00:59:42 He deserves to lie beneath the sacred soil of Arlington.

00:59:46 He would want that, and I urge you to choose that for him.

00:59:50 >> Thank you.

00:59:52 I'm going to take my son home and bury him in New Hampshire.

00:59:55 And not in his uniform,

00:59:57 but I'll bury him in his graduation suit.

01:00:01 >> As you wish.

01:00:03 Your government will fly the coffin at no cost to you,

01:00:06 to Portsmouth, and to a funeral director of your choosing.

01:00:10 >> No, we're taking him with us today.

01:00:12 >> With all due respect, sir,

01:00:14 you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.

01:00:17 Hey, Colonel.

01:00:20 Did you look at these faces?

01:00:22 They've already been spited,

01:00:24 so why should we give a fuck about your opinions?

01:00:27 With all due respect.

01:00:29 >> We're going to take the train.

01:00:33 >> Okay. I'll make the arrangements.

01:00:38 Lance Corporal Washington here will be going with you.

01:00:42 This is Willits.

01:00:43 I need you to make some things happen ASAP.

01:00:45 >> Hey, hey, hey, hey.

01:00:47 >> Stand back. >> Willits.

01:00:49 We don't need no babysitter.

01:00:52 >> I wasn't implying that you did.

01:00:54 Washington is on TDY escort duty.

01:00:56 You don't want him, he goes right back to Baghdad.

01:01:00 >> Guys.

01:01:02 >> We could use the help.

01:01:06 >> Does he pull per diem?

01:01:08 >> Of course.

01:01:09 >> Then fall in, Washington.

01:01:11 But he takes orders from us.

01:01:13 >> He takes his orders from me.

01:01:17 But he will accommodate you in any reasonable way you ask,

01:01:20 because I just ordered him to.

01:01:22 Is that clear?

01:01:24 >> Very clear.

01:01:26 Colonel.

01:01:28 Boy, you are a fucking force of nature, huh?

01:01:36 Man, I would have loved to run into you in the field in my younger days.

01:01:41 >> You really think so?

01:01:43 >> Oh, yeah.

01:01:45 Because one of us would have been fragged,

01:01:47 and the other would have gone to the brig.

01:01:52 [♪♪♪]

01:02:02 >> Detail.

01:02:03 Halt.

01:02:05 Ready, down.

01:02:07 Ready, face.

01:02:09 [♪♪♪]

01:02:20 Forward march.

01:02:22 Left, left, left, left, left.

01:02:37 Ready, face.

01:02:40 >> I don't give a fuck what they say.

01:02:42 You understand me?

01:02:44 >> Yes, sir.

01:02:45 >> The Lance Corporal is ours.

01:02:46 He's a Marine until he goes into the ground

01:02:48 and remains a Marine the period of time he's underground,

01:02:51 plus 100 years.

01:02:52 Is that clear?

01:02:53 >> Yes, sir.

01:02:54 >> I will not have three over-the-hill veterans pissing on my corps.

01:02:58 Understood?

01:02:59 >> Yes, sir.

01:03:00 >> You're a Marine.

01:03:01 Your mission is to see your brother home.

01:03:03 You're in charge, and when in charge, you take charge.

01:03:05 Understood?

01:03:06 >> Yes, sir.

01:03:07 >> There'll be a mortuary affairs detail every step of the way.

01:03:09 You will protect the dignity of that dead Marine,

01:03:12 and you will see to it that he is buried with honors in his uniform,

01:03:16 not some cock-sucking, motherfucking, pussy civilian.

01:03:20 Graduation suit!

01:03:21 Clear?

01:03:22 >> Yes, sir.

01:03:24 >> Don't let that Sal fucktard outflank you.

01:03:26 He's old, but he's dangerous.

01:03:28 Do not let that happen.

01:03:29 Kill him first.

01:03:30 >> Sir.

01:03:32 >> That is not an order.

01:03:33 >> Yes, sir.

01:03:34 >> And just because that crippled preacher reminds you of your father, don't trust him.

01:03:39 >> I never knew my father, sir.

01:03:42 >> Lance Corporal, do you have some kind of personal problem?

01:03:44 >> No, sir.

01:03:45 >> Then get on it!

01:03:46 >> Yes, sir!

01:03:49 >> Halt!

01:03:53 Present arms!

01:03:59 >> At ease!

01:04:02 Forward, halt!

01:04:07 >> Washington says you served?

01:04:09 >> Yeah, Army.

01:04:10 >> Oh, yeah?

01:04:11 Yeah.

01:04:12 Did you see some shit?

01:04:13 >> Yeah, I was there the first time.

01:04:15 Gulf War.

01:04:16 >> Right, right.

01:04:18 You came back?

01:04:19 >> Yes.

01:04:20 Yeah.

01:04:21 And I'm not pissing blood.

01:04:22 My babies are all okay.

01:04:23 >> Hey, that's good.

01:04:28 >> John Redman.

01:04:29 >> Larry Shepard.

01:04:30 >> Don't worry.

01:04:31 I'll look after your boy.

01:04:33 >> Thank you.

01:04:35 >> Whenever you're ready.

01:04:41 >> Okay.

01:04:43 Hey, at ease, Washington.

01:04:45 Huh?

01:04:50 >> I got a question for you.

01:05:18 When did you get so old?

01:05:21 >> I think it was over the last 30 years.

01:05:23 Same as you.

01:05:24 >> Me?

01:05:25 No.

01:05:26 Categorically denied.

01:05:27 >> Deny it all you want.

01:05:29 It will not stop the clock, nor will it turn back time.

01:05:36 >> What do you think of that grunt, Washington, huh?

01:05:39 >> What about him?

01:05:40 >> I don't know.

01:05:42 He don't say much.

01:05:43 Him and his Baghdad boy, boy, that's some gnarly shit, right?

01:05:47 >> What do you want to know about him?

01:05:49 >> I don't want to know nothing about him.

01:05:51 >> Sounds like he's an individual that's heavy on your mind, though.

01:05:54 >> Ain't nothing heavy on my mind.

01:05:56 Just wondering.

01:05:58 >> Then go back and talk to him.

01:06:00 He's such a mystery to you.

01:06:01 >> Everything is a mystery to me.

01:06:05 Except you.

01:06:07 >> Please.

01:06:15 >> Then go back and talk to him.

01:06:17 >> I'm sure he'll enjoy that.

01:06:19 >> Tell him he should come up here and sit with us.

01:06:21 >> All right.

01:06:23 I'll extend an invitation.

01:06:37 There we go.

01:06:40 >> This is bleak, man.

01:06:45 >> You're welcome.

01:06:46 >> What for?

01:06:47 >> What for?

01:06:49 Are you on a train in Baghdad?

01:06:51 No, you are not.

01:06:53 >> I guess not.

01:06:56 >> Yeah, T.D.Y.

01:06:58 Sometimes it's fun.

01:07:00 Sometimes it's a bitch.

01:07:02 >> I don't mind.

01:07:03 He was my best friend.

01:07:05 >> Yeah.

01:07:06 You didn't, what, hang with the brothers?

01:07:09 >> What the fuck is that?

01:07:11 >> I don't know.

01:07:12 Saw it on the mtv, I think.

01:07:14 >> It's not a rule.

01:07:15 >> No, I'm not saying it's a rule.

01:07:17 >> Like the dude.

01:07:19 He had my back and I had his.

01:07:21 He was honest.

01:07:23 Simple in a good way.

01:07:25 Never had an attitude.

01:07:27 >> Sounds a lot like his father.

01:07:29 >> Even the honest part.

01:07:31 >> Doc?

01:07:33 Doc is not a dishonest man.

01:07:35 >> What about the brig time?

01:07:37 >> That could have happened to any one of us.

01:07:39 He got fucked.

01:07:41 Doc was a lot younger than us.

01:07:43 He was a kid.

01:07:45 Technically he was in the navy.

01:07:48 He wanted to be our friend.

01:07:51 And we took advantage of it.

01:07:55 I mean, we had done him a favor.

01:07:57 And he was doing a favor for us.

01:07:59 And then all this shit went down and someone had to take the fall.

01:08:04 It was doc.

01:08:06 >> Hey, look.

01:08:08 Why don't you come up with us for a while, huh?

01:08:11 Red moon will look after your buddy, won't you?

01:08:13 >> No problem.

01:08:14 >> That's all right.

01:08:15 >> Thank you.

01:08:16 >> Come on, you got to get out of here.

01:08:18 It's colder than Eskimo pussy.

01:08:20 >> I don't mind, really.

01:08:23 >> Look.

01:08:25 I want you to come up and talk to Larry's father.

01:08:28 Say something nice.

01:08:30 >> I don't know what I would say.

01:08:33 >> He'll think of something.

01:08:36 Come on.

01:08:40 >> Boy, look at them.

01:08:44 >> Jesus.

01:08:46 >> And all this shit they bought, boy, they don't have a clue.

01:08:50 >> They're just regular people out doing their Christmas shopping, sir.

01:08:53 >> Fucking sheep is what they are.

01:08:57 >> I wouldn't mind being one of them.

01:08:59 >> Yeah, it's better than being shot at.

01:09:01 >> I'd rather be fighting them over there than in our own backyard.

01:09:05 >> Sound familiar?

01:09:06 >> Oh, yeah.

01:09:08 See, we fought the commies in Nam so we wouldn't have to fight them on the beaches of Malibu.

01:09:13 >> Guess it worked.

01:09:18 >> I guess it did.

01:09:20 >> Yeah, 'cause Marines got to be willing to die on order.

01:09:25 >> No, separate fly until we're done.

01:09:28 >> Yeah, it's always been the mission, right?

01:09:31 It's a bunch of crap.

01:09:33 >> First you got to have a reason to want to even get in the fight in the first place.

01:09:37 So what are they telling us it is this time, huh?

01:09:40 That we're in imminent danger?

01:09:42 That there's stockpiling weapons of mass destruction?

01:09:45 A possible mushroom cloud?

01:09:48 >> Those lies.

01:09:49 It's the same old shit.

01:09:51 You know, stay the course.

01:09:53 If we pull out now, then all our heroes will have died in vain, you know, blah, blah, blah.

01:09:59 >> You'd like to have a little faith in your leaders, in your country.

01:10:03 I mean, I love this country.

01:10:05 I think we're a good country.

01:10:06 Aren't we a good country?

01:10:07 >> We are a good country, but if you catch your government lying to you, it changes everything, doesn't it?

01:10:14 >> Yeah.

01:10:16 >> So, kid, how's it living over there?

01:10:18 >> It's all right.

01:10:19 >> Yeah?

01:10:21 >> People will fucking hate us over there.

01:10:23 >> Sounds amazing.

01:10:25 >> I swear to God, we got to be the only occupying force in history that expects them to like us.

01:10:31 >> When you go out, you just never know what to expect.

01:10:34 But being from Oakland, I'm used to people dying all of a sudden.

01:10:38 >> Seriously?

01:10:39 >> Really.

01:10:41 >> In high school, one of my best friends was shot by a stray bullet.

01:10:46 My father robbed on the street.

01:10:49 Might put one in him.

01:10:50 I didn't even know who he was until he turned up dead.

01:10:53 >> Jesus, kid.

01:10:54 >> Lord have mercy.

01:10:55 >> I'm only saying.

01:10:57 >> So what, you joined the Marines to get away from all that in Oakland?

01:11:00 >> No, I didn't have much else to do, so, you know, I wanted to strengthen my character.

01:11:08 It was that way with Larry, too.

01:11:10 We wanted to test ourselves.

01:11:12 >> Yeah, boy, we felt the same thing.

01:11:14 >> Mm-hmm.

01:11:16 >> Every generation has their war.

01:11:19 Men make the wars, and wars make the men.

01:11:24 Never ends.

01:11:26 Maybe one day we'll try something different.

01:11:31 >> When he was little, Larry used to like to play with toy soldiers.

01:11:36 Dig trenches for them, put them through basic training.

01:11:39 >> Mm-hmm.

01:11:44 Mr. Shepard, Larry was where he wanted to be.

01:11:47 He hated it.

01:11:49 We all hate it.

01:11:51 But you get sent over there, and it stops being about what you want, or the war, even.

01:11:56 You're there for your brothers.

01:11:59 That's all that really matters.

01:12:02 >> He must have been embarrassed.

01:12:04 Me sitting out the last part of our war in the brig.

01:12:07 >> No, sir.

01:12:09 He wasn't embarrassed at all.

01:12:12 The thing that made Larry different from the rest of us in the unit, he had a happy childhood.

01:12:18 >> You said that?

01:12:19 >> Yes, sir.

01:12:21 He had a mother and father that loved him, loved each other.

01:12:25 Yeah.

01:12:26 Nice house to live in.

01:12:28 Good food to eat.

01:12:29 He went on about school and football and nice friends.

01:12:37 And he loved you.

01:12:42 >> Mm-hmm.

01:12:49 >> Mr. Shepard, it was my turn to get the cokes.

01:12:52 That was my bullet, not Larry's.

01:12:57 >> Mm-mm.

01:12:58 No, no, no, no.

01:13:00 >> Yeah.

01:13:04 >> A gray car pulled up in front of the house.

01:13:10 Marine lieutenant, navy chaplain, shiny brass belt buckles.

01:13:16 I kept staring at those shiny buckles.

01:13:21 The president has asked me to express his deep regret.

01:13:26 >> The kill in action.

01:13:28 >> In action.

01:13:31 Nothing about a shot in the back of the head, getting cokes for his buddies.

01:13:37 Nothing about killed while delivering supplies to the back desk of the school system.

01:14:02 >> There we go.

01:14:08 There we go.

01:14:14 There we go.

01:14:32 Thirsty?

01:14:33 That went down awfully quick.

01:14:35 >> I'm drinking for two now that you got old and boring.

01:14:39 >> Might be that you're an alcoholic.

01:14:42 >> You think?

01:14:44 >> I am.

01:14:45 >> Yeah, man.

01:14:47 >> But I recognized it.

01:14:51 Took ownership of it.

01:14:53 That was the first step.

01:14:56 >> Why don't you take ownership of this beer?

01:15:00 >> Unless you're a big guy.

01:15:02 >> I'm very good right now.

01:15:05 If it's coffee, I'm fine.

01:15:09 >> Hey, at least we're not drug addicts.

01:15:12 >> Thank God.

01:15:14 Not anymore.

01:15:15 >> Not anymore.

01:15:17 If it were, we took the shit, Sam.

01:15:21 >> Yeah.

01:15:22 >> Because we needed the shit.

01:15:24 >> Yeah.

01:15:25 >> We needed it.

01:15:26 The court would have issued it to us.

01:15:28 >> Yeah.

01:15:30 In a way, they did.

01:15:32 >> The shit was meant for pain.

01:15:34 All drugs are.

01:15:35 >> So?

01:15:36 What's wrong with taking it then?

01:15:37 >> Morphine is addictive.

01:15:39 Yeah, so is pain.

01:15:42 >> We weren't the ones who were in pain, though.

01:15:45 >> The fuck we weren't.

01:15:49 Different kind of pain.

01:15:53 Pain is pain.

01:15:59 Man, we get to the next stop, I got to call Ruth.

01:16:05 You know what you need?

01:16:07 You need one of those mobile telephones.

01:16:10 You could be talking to Ruth right now.

01:16:12 Even on this train, you could be talking.

01:16:14 >> Say what?

01:16:15 >> Yeah.

01:16:16 I mean, every ten-year-old has them.

01:16:19 They practically stopped making pay phones.

01:16:23 [music]

01:16:43 >> So we ended up at Disneyland to resuscitate Doc, who is metaphorically drowning.

01:16:49 >> I got your metaphoricals right here.

01:16:51 Stick to the story.

01:16:52 >> Let me follow.

01:16:53 So there's a Disneyland in Vietnam.

01:16:56 [laughter]

01:17:01 >> Well, yes, young blood.

01:17:03 That's what they call the whore houses and the bars that spring up around the base.

01:17:08 >> And it was the company fucking commanders doing it.

01:17:11 You see, he was the one who told us, hey, you need to take a few days off and get Doc's ass to Disneyland before he has a total meltdown.

01:17:18 >> I was having some problems.

01:17:19 >> Yeah, you sure as shit were.

01:17:22 And the number one problem he was having is that it was time for him to get his cherry busted.

01:17:26 >> Oh.

01:17:27 >> So, yes.

01:17:28 Hey, Washington, for you, how old were you the first time?

01:17:31 >> 13.

01:17:32 >> Good Lord.

01:17:33 >> Whoa!

01:17:35 >> What?

01:17:36 >> 13!

01:17:37 I rest my case.

01:17:39 You see?

01:17:40 >> Lord have mercy.

01:17:41 >> Doc was 18.

01:17:42 >> I was 19.

01:17:43 >> 19.

01:17:45 One year worse than 18.

01:17:47 It was time.

01:17:49 >> No, no, no.

01:17:50 The right time was when I met Mary.

01:17:52 >> Come on.

01:17:54 >> I just want to say that I think that 13 is still way too young.

01:17:59 >> All right, all right, all right.

01:18:00 So, anyway, we're in Disneyland.

01:18:02 We're looking at this tomorrow land, this fantasy land.

01:18:05 And then we found one of the most beautiful whore houses I have ever seen.

01:18:10 And I've seen a lot.

01:18:11 >> Whoo!

01:18:13 >> I don't know.

01:18:14 >> Why?

01:18:16 >> I've seen paying for sex, whores, pimps.

01:18:20 It's kind of disgusting.

01:18:22 >> Actually, it wasn't that bad.

01:18:24 >> Yeah!

01:18:25 There's my guy!

01:18:27 Yeah!

01:18:29 >> Well, it was okay.

01:18:31 It was nice.

01:18:33 >> Truth be told, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, did not yet enter into my heart.

01:18:38 And so I yielded to bad impulses.

01:18:42 >> Yielded.

01:18:43 Did you hear that?

01:18:44 He yielded.

01:18:45 >> No, I'll tell you what he did with impulses.

01:18:48 He drank impulses, right?

01:18:50 He smoked impulses.

01:18:52 And he fucked impulses.

01:18:55 >> Yes, I confess.

01:18:56 >> He fucked impulses.

01:18:57 You know what his nickname is?

01:18:59 Mule of the mauler.

01:19:01 He was famous for the $5 five-minute special.

01:19:04 I mean, he was like a jackrabbit.

01:19:06 I don't want to spend any more money.

01:19:09 [grunting]

01:19:12 >> That's my bad leg!

01:19:13 That's my bad leg!

01:19:14 >> Shit!

01:19:15 Son of a bitch!

01:19:17 [laughing]

01:19:19 >> Come on.

01:19:21 I was also famous for whipping a motherfucker's ass.

01:19:24 [laughing]

01:19:28 >> Listen.

01:19:30 It was all...

01:19:32 Seems very funny right now.

01:19:34 >> It was funny.

01:19:35 >> Yeah, well, it was pure dereliction of duty, son.

01:19:38 Dereliction of duty, pure and simple.

01:19:40 Remember that.

01:19:41 >> Actually, it was like going to a friend's house.

01:19:44 [laughing]

01:19:48 And then you just--

01:19:50 Then you have sex with the friend.

01:19:52 [laughing]

01:19:55 >> Then what?

01:19:56 >> And then you give him money.

01:19:59 [gunshots]

01:20:01 >> And you pay your friend!

01:20:03 [laughing]

01:20:05 >> Come on, man.

01:20:06 >> Oh, I got to tell you,

01:20:07 we did get tired of listening to him

01:20:09 talking about that beautiful Asian whore of his, right?

01:20:12 He was so proud.

01:20:14 He said he had a heart on so big,

01:20:16 felt like he was in a full body cast.

01:20:19 It's like nothing can move.

01:20:21 He couldn't blink,

01:20:22 and he couldn't even move his fingers.

01:20:24 [laughing]

01:20:26 >> That's not true.

01:20:28 >> Oh, fuck me, I miss those days.

01:20:31 When you had a...

01:20:33 A boner you could hang a towel on.

01:20:36 [laughing]

01:20:37 Jesus.

01:20:38 I used to have a Johnson

01:20:39 that would stand up and watch me shave.

01:20:42 Oh, like this.

01:20:43 How you doing?

01:20:45 Yeah, right?

01:20:46 How was your day so far?

01:20:49 Now, now it watches me pull up my socks.

01:20:52 It's like, all right.

01:20:54 [laughing]

01:21:00 >> When it goes, it goes.

01:21:01 >> It goes.

01:21:03 Goes quickly, too.

01:21:04 >> Don't encourage this.

01:21:05 >> Goes fast.

01:21:07 >> Keep using it, though.

01:21:08 >> Okay.

01:21:09 >> You don't...

01:21:10 >> I'm imagining his penis.

01:21:13 [laughing]

01:21:14 Pick up his sock.

01:21:16 [laughing]

01:21:21 What does that look like?

01:21:23 [laughing]

01:21:25 [music]

01:21:33 >> Ha, ha, ha.

01:21:34 I'm home.

01:21:35 >> Ah, New York.

01:21:37 New fucking York.

01:21:39 >> Ha, ha, ha.

01:21:40 >> Let's not wander too far.

01:21:41 >> No, no, no.

01:21:42 Just far enough to find the first Blarney stone,

01:21:44 which I believe is this way.

01:21:47 >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:21:49 This way.

01:21:50 [music]

01:21:54 >> Take that in.

01:21:55 Take a deep breath.

01:21:57 What, you do it?

01:21:58 What do you smell?

01:21:59 There's one distinct smell.

01:22:01 What is it?

01:22:02 Urine.

01:22:04 I love it. It's like the official scent of the city.

01:22:07 (LAUGHING)

01:22:08 All right.

01:22:11 Ba ba ba ba, Boney Stone.

01:22:16 Barkeep, I will have one more drink.

01:22:20 And then one more after that.

01:22:24 See, this is what we call a man with a drinking problem. This.

01:22:27 No no no no no no no no no.

01:22:28 I got no problem, I got this master.

01:22:31 Born in pain, live in fear, die alone.

01:22:34 Could you be any more Irish right now?

01:22:37 Could you possibly be any more Irish right now?

01:22:40 No, I do not think I can be.

01:22:42 Although, I will confess to you,

01:22:44 my mother is actually half Italian.

01:22:48 I lost one, he lost two.

01:22:50 Yeah, well, I guess he thought it was worth it.

01:22:57 It's not worth it to me.

01:23:03 I wonder if it's worth it for his daughters.

01:23:09 He's got twins, right?

01:23:10 Who? Oh, the cheerleader?

01:23:14 Who?

01:23:15 Well, he was a cheerleader in college

01:23:19 before he was the president.

01:23:21 Wouldn't it be worth their lives?

01:23:23 Even one of them?

01:23:24 Doc, look here, Doc.

01:23:30 There's no answers in there.

01:23:33 Right? The answers you're looking for

01:23:35 can be found in petition and prayer.

01:23:37 Okay, thank you.

01:23:40 Okay, you guys ready for an adventure?

01:23:42 Yep.

01:23:43 Let's go, let's hit it.

01:23:44 Where are we going?

01:23:45 It's a secret.

01:23:46 You'll find out when you get there.

01:23:48 Just like heaven.

01:23:49 Just like heaven.

01:23:55 How many minutes do I get on this again?

01:23:57 On this plan, 500.

01:24:01 Every month?

01:24:03 Yes.

01:24:04 Is that enough?

01:24:05 Enough?

01:24:07 Yeah.

01:24:08 How can anybody talk for more than 500 minutes a month

01:24:11 on a fucking telephone?

01:24:12 It's a good point.

01:24:13 Pardon my French.

01:24:14 No, it's a good point.

01:24:15 I mean, we're going to miss our train.

01:24:17 Sure as God made me read apples.

01:24:19 Calm down, calm down.

01:24:20 And if you call people with the same plan,

01:24:23 it doesn't count against your minutes.

01:24:25 That's one hell of a plan.

01:24:27 It is.

01:24:28 What do you care who's on the plan?

01:24:29 You don't know anybody on the plan.

01:24:31 I know you two fuckers.

01:24:32 Come on, let's get some phones.

01:24:33 I don't want one.

01:24:34 I don't need one.

01:24:35 Thank you.

01:24:36 I wouldn't mind having one.

01:24:37 I've never thought about it.

01:24:40 Barkeep, a round of phones from my partner's ear.

01:24:44 Okay, so he and I can talk to each other anytime.

01:24:46 Even though he's in Norfolk and I'm in New Hampshire

01:24:48 and it's not going to cost us anything.

01:24:50 That's the deal.

01:24:51 Wow.

01:24:52 Don't believe me?

01:24:53 Come on, Mueller.

01:24:54 What?

01:24:55 Mueller, come on.

01:24:56 Come on.

01:24:57 With the three-way calling thing,

01:24:58 we can talk to each other at the same time?

01:25:00 Yeah, but aren't we talking to each other

01:25:01 at the same time right now?

01:25:02 Yeah, but be on phones.

01:25:04 [sighs]

01:25:06 Art, what if I don't like it?

01:25:07 I mean, we get stuck with a contract for what,

01:25:10 a year, two years?

01:25:11 Just two years.

01:25:12 Two years.

01:25:13 What if you fall down?

01:25:14 Have you thought of that?

01:25:15 Huh?

01:25:16 With your gimpy legs, that's a real possibility.

01:25:18 What if you fell into a ditch and you can't get up

01:25:21 and nobody can see you?

01:25:22 I mean, it is adios padre,

01:25:24 but with your mobile phone, you get it out.

01:25:28 And if you can see the numbers, your glasses are--

01:25:31 Oh, I can't see.

01:25:33 Help me.

01:25:34 Help me.

01:25:35 I've fallen and I can't get up.

01:25:37 Guys, 911 calls don't count against your minutes either.

01:25:40 That's-- come on.

01:25:42 That's--

01:25:43 All right, all right, all right.

01:25:44 I guess will you shut the hell up so we can get our train?

01:25:46 I'll shut up.

01:25:47 OK.

01:25:48 Yeah!

01:25:49 [laughs]

01:25:50 Come on.

01:25:51 [laughs]

01:26:09 Hello.

01:26:10 Hello, this is God.

01:26:11 Who's this?

01:26:12 God.

01:26:13 Say what?

01:26:14 You're not going to get into heaven after all.

01:26:16 I'm very displeased with the way you're talking about--

01:26:18 Who is this?

01:26:19 --corner-kitting with whores.

01:26:20 I say, who is--

01:26:21 This is God.

01:26:22 This is definitely God.

01:26:23 Hey, hey, Sal.

01:26:24 This is not Sal.

01:26:25 This is God.

01:26:26 Stop it now.

01:26:27 You're burning up my minutes with that foolishness.

01:26:29 Wait, you should call John Redman on the train.

01:26:31 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:26:33 Here, this will be my second official call.

01:26:38 [phone ringing]

01:26:41 By the way, when you call God, it

01:26:43 doesn't cost you any minutes.

01:26:45 He told me.

01:26:48 Hey, John Redman.

01:26:50 Guess who this is.

01:26:52 Yeah.

01:26:53 How'd you know?

01:26:54 All right, listen.

01:26:55 I am calling you from my brand new mobile cellular cordless

01:26:59 telephone.

01:27:00 You don't even know how to use.

01:27:01 Hush up.

01:27:02 Listen, I want to give you my number, all right?

01:27:05 How do you already have it?

01:27:06 I didn't give it to you.

01:27:07 It comes up on his.

01:27:08 But that's just what he said.

01:27:09 The number comes up on the screen.

01:27:11 Can you believe this?

01:27:12 Wow, OK, listen up.

01:27:14 We are on-- huh?

01:27:17 Ah.

01:27:19 OK.

01:27:20 OK.

01:27:22 Yeah.

01:27:23 Yeah.

01:27:24 OK.

01:27:25 All right.

01:27:26 What's going on?

01:27:28 They are on their way to Boston.

01:27:31 The train left without us?

01:27:32 Yeah.

01:27:33 Outstanding.

01:27:34 Outstanding.

01:27:35 What?

01:27:36 I warned you, didn't I?

01:27:37 Didn't I warn you?

01:27:38 What does it matter?

01:27:39 We miss this train, we'll take the next one, OK?

01:27:41 There's like a million trains to Boston.

01:27:43 You know what?

01:27:44 You worry too much.

01:27:45 That's why your hair went so gray.

01:27:47 You worry too much.

01:27:49 This is a boarding call for Amtrak and Stella Express

01:27:51 train 2171 on route to Washington.

01:27:54 With intermediate stops everywhere--

01:27:56 Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore, BDI Airport,

01:27:59 [inaudible]

01:28:00 We are all set.

01:28:02 We're on the express straight to Boston.

01:28:04 When?

01:28:05 7 AM.

01:28:06 Oh, jeez.

01:28:07 Come on.

01:28:08 It's a city that never sleeps.

01:28:09 Why should we?

01:28:10 Come on.

01:28:12 Let's have some fun.

01:28:14 You take a fadeaway jump shot.

01:28:17 Wow.

01:28:18 It's a beautiful thing of beauty.

01:28:20 Free throws are a win or lose the game, though.

01:28:22 Oh, fuck.

01:28:23 They're so boring.

01:28:24 It's true.

01:28:25 But they're boring.

01:28:27 That stops all the action all the time.

01:28:30 And there's way too many of those fucking things.

01:28:32 You're not supposed to go in there and bang around

01:28:35 with this guy, banging all the time.

01:28:38 Fouls.

01:28:40 No, I'm serious.

01:28:41 Fouls should be shameful.

01:28:48 Yeah?

01:28:49 Yeah.

01:28:50 But there's no fucking shame anywhere anymore.

01:28:53 Look who's talking.

01:28:56 You ever been ashamed of anything you've

01:28:58 ever done in your life?

01:29:00 Ever?

01:29:03 Once.

01:29:06 Why are you looking at me like that?

01:29:08 You know why?

01:29:13 Did you remember that Boston was where he was from?

01:29:17 I remember he was from Boston.

01:29:20 So I've been looking into seeing if I could find--

01:29:24 maybe he still has some family there.

01:29:27 Why?

01:29:29 Because--

01:29:30 Because he's drunk, that's why.

01:29:31 What-- what has that got anything to do with it?

01:29:35 You get like this every time you drink?

01:29:37 Pretty much.

01:29:39 Then you shouldn't drink.

01:29:41 It's what I got instead of God.

01:29:43 Oh, I see.

01:29:44 I understand.

01:29:45 I got God.

01:29:47 Doc did his time.

01:29:50 You got drunk.

01:29:52 Yep.

01:29:55 Maybe he got the better of the deal.

01:29:57 He was going to die anyway, so--

01:29:59 No.

01:30:01 He didn't have to suffer.

01:30:03 Not like that.

01:30:05 But he did.

01:30:06 No.

01:30:07 Jimmy Hightower.

01:30:09 We can't even say his name.

01:30:11 We all feel guilty about how he suffered when he was dying.

01:30:19 But did it ever occur to you that maybe nobody would have

01:30:22 been shot and everybody still be alive if we had just

01:30:27 been doing our jobs, not fucking around?

01:30:29 [POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

01:30:44 Sel.

01:30:49 Sel.

01:30:51 Sel, we got to go.

01:30:53 We got to go.

01:30:54 We got to get our train.

01:30:56 Well, time to go.

01:30:58 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:31:10 [HORSE GALLOPING]

01:31:13 Can I ask you a personal question?

01:31:30 No.

01:31:31 Thank you.

01:31:33 Why is it that you married a black woman?

01:31:36 Oh, what?

01:31:39 Come on.

01:31:40 It's not like you never had a white woman before.

01:31:42 I-- I know better than it was the '70s and all that.

01:31:45 Ah, which, if I remember rightly,

01:31:48 was when you white dudes admitted to having

01:31:52 a thing for black women.

01:31:54 I'm gaga for the sisters.

01:31:56 They dig me, too.

01:31:58 A couple of them.

01:32:01 For a time.

01:32:02 First of all, Sel.

01:32:05 Who I married is none of your business.

01:32:07 And that is why I've been so polite about it.

01:32:10 OK, I'll tell you.

01:32:13 God told me to.

01:32:16 God told you to marry a black woman?

01:32:19 No.

01:32:21 God told me to marry Ruth.

01:32:23 Hm.

01:32:25 How come you-- God don't talk to me?

01:32:28 Because you don't listen.

01:32:29 I hear just fine.

01:32:30 You hear just fine, but you don't listen.

01:32:34 So you listen, and that's why he talks to you.

01:32:38 That's not what I said.

01:32:40 I said that God told me to marry Ruth, to be a good man,

01:32:46 and to preach the word.

01:32:49 So he does, Doctor.

01:32:52 He touched my heart.

01:32:55 Maybe it was Ruth who touched your heart.

01:32:58 Oh, yes.

01:32:59 It was God through Ruth.

01:33:01 I was a down-and-out recovering alcoholic with a shot up leg.

01:33:06 And one day, I found Jesus.

01:33:10 Where?

01:33:11 Where'd you find him?

01:33:12 Like in a street corner or something?

01:33:14 No, in my heart, Sel.

01:33:16 The only place you can truly find him.

01:33:18 I went deep inside my own heart like it was some scary cave,

01:33:21 some unexplored place, which it was.

01:33:25 Went down alone and afraid and came back up fearless,

01:33:29 with Jesus by my side, and there.

01:33:33 The very next Sunday, took myself to church.

01:33:37 And there was Ruth?

01:33:39 There was Ruth.

01:33:42 And everything fell into place for me.

01:33:46 That is a beautiful story.

01:33:49 Sorry the fuck I asked.

01:33:53 So if God exists,

01:33:58 how many would it kill him to just tap me on the shoulder or something,

01:34:01 just shake my hand like a man?

01:34:04 And, while he's at it,

01:34:06 if he could deliver a nice black girl with a great ass,

01:34:09 so much the better.

01:34:11 Hey, hey, hey.

01:34:12 Let me ask you another question.

01:34:14 When Ruth was a child, was she a baby Ruth?

01:34:19 You get it? You get it?

01:34:22 You know what Christmas is for me?

01:34:24 What?

01:34:25 A Doc Holliday.

01:34:31 That's good, Doc.

01:34:35 Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:34:37 That's the one. That's the one we want.

01:34:40 What do you think he's up to?

01:34:42 Wheeling and dealing.

01:34:43 Mr. Silly the Foal.

01:34:45 All right, fellas, we got an errand to run.

01:34:47 Do we have enough time?

01:34:48 Oh, yeah, we've got plenty of time.

01:34:49 I was just on with Redmond.

01:34:51 He and Washington are already in New Hampshire,

01:34:53 so we'll see him there.

01:34:55 I don't know how he'll live without this thing.

01:34:57 I really don't.

01:34:59 [♪♪♪]

01:35:02 [♪♪♪]

01:35:04 [indistinct shouting]

01:35:30 Sam! Sam! Sam!

01:35:34 She's been living with it all these years anyway.

01:35:47 What good is it gonna do?

01:35:48 We're long overdue, the way I figured.

01:35:51 She ought to know the truth,

01:35:52 and we ought to be men enough to say it.

01:35:56 How did you even find her?

01:35:58 I got O'Toole to call his granddaughter,

01:36:00 and she looked it up for us on the World Wide Web.

01:36:02 What can we possibly say to her?

01:36:04 We say the truth.

01:36:06 A little further.

01:36:09 A couple more on the left there.

01:36:11 Right there. There it is.

01:36:13 This red?

01:36:14 Yeah, that's it.

01:36:16 [knocking]

01:36:22 Maybe she's not here.

01:36:26 Hey, we didn't come all this way.

01:36:29 [knocking]

01:36:31 Miss Hightower?

01:36:35 Yes?

01:36:37 I'm Reverend Richard Mueller.

01:36:39 I served with your son in Vietnam.

01:36:40 Oh, yes. One moment, please.

01:36:43 Welcome.

01:36:47 Thank you.

01:36:49 Come on in.

01:36:50 Hi. Name is Sal.

01:36:52 Welcome.

01:36:53 Hi. Larry Shepard.

01:36:54 So glad you could come.

01:36:56 Thank you, ma'am.

01:36:57 I'm gonna show you some pictures.

01:37:04 This one.

01:37:08 That's the last one we ever got from Jimmy.

01:37:11 Look at him.

01:37:13 Yeah, remember that smile?

01:37:15 Sure.

01:37:16 That was a handsome man, wasn't he?

01:37:17 Yes, he was.

01:37:18 Oh, Lord have mercy.

01:37:20 And this is his little girl, all grown up now.

01:37:25 My Lord.

01:37:27 My Lord.

01:37:31 How old was she when he died?

01:37:34 Oh, much.

01:37:36 Her mom eventually remarried,

01:37:39 and they moved to San Diego.

01:37:41 Hmm.

01:37:43 And this,

01:37:46 they're my great-grand.

01:37:49 Hmm?

01:37:51 Look at that.

01:37:56 He'd be a grandfather.

01:37:59 I never saw them in person,

01:38:01 but they called every now and then.

01:38:06 So,

01:38:09 you three men were with my Jimmy.

01:38:12 Yes, ma'am.

01:38:13 3rd Marine Division.

01:38:15 Very tight unit.

01:38:17 Ma'am, it's like this.

01:38:21 Uh, see,

01:38:24 we had already fought us a good long year,

01:38:30 and most of us were still breathing.

01:38:35 But the extension,

01:38:40 that--that four months they added on,

01:38:44 that was--

01:38:47 that was bad.

01:38:49 And some of us,

01:38:53 we just couldn't handle it, see?

01:38:55 And I--I didn't even think that--

01:38:59 What was it for?

01:39:01 Hmm?

01:39:03 What was it all for?

01:39:09 Right, well,

01:39:11 they said they knew, and we just believed them.

01:39:15 But now...

01:39:18 Miss Hightower,

01:39:25 we came here today to tell you what happened.

01:39:30 Were you--

01:39:33 Were you some of the men he'd saved?

01:39:38 I mean, were you some of the men

01:39:42 whose lives Jimmy saved?

01:39:44 I mean, they told me that he saved

01:39:46 three or four of his buddies before he was killed.

01:39:50 Were you?

01:39:53 Were you?

01:39:56 Yes, ma'am, that was us.

01:40:03 Jimmy was

01:40:07 a great guy.

01:40:09 Yeah, I'll never forget him.

01:40:13 That's why we're here, ma'am.

01:40:16 We feel we owe him.

01:40:19 Yeah.

01:40:21 I just wanted to come by to pay our respects

01:40:24 and, you know, let you know

01:40:27 that he's always been in our hearts.

01:40:31 God bless you.

01:40:35 I could never thank you enough.

01:40:39 Miss Hightower, very glad to have met you.

01:40:47 Me too, son. Me too.

01:40:49 Thank you, ma'am.

01:40:51 Take care.

01:40:53 Bless you, Miss Hightower.

01:42:35 Oh.

01:42:37 Oh.

01:42:40 Oh.

01:42:44 Oh.

01:42:45 Hey, Mueller.

01:42:47 Now I see God.

01:42:50 Sal, if you had any more manners, you'd be a dog.

01:43:35 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:43:38 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:44:07 You're going to want to stay on here alone.

01:44:09 I hadn't really thought much about it.

01:44:17 Portsmouth, boy, with the brig right there.

01:44:22 Might want to try another place, fresh start.

01:44:30 Larry will be here, Mary too.

01:44:34 You could always visit.

01:44:36 Hey, you got close friends here?

01:44:40 Not too many.

01:44:47 Not too close.

01:44:48 Move to Norfolk.

01:44:54 You can work in my bar.

01:44:57 I don't know anything about working in bars, Sal.

01:45:01 Trust me, you don't need to know much.

01:45:04 Well, your bar doesn't seem that busy.

01:45:06 No, it ain't. But that's my fault, see?

01:45:10 I let it go.

01:45:13 It just needs some new blood, you know?

01:45:16 We can get the grill part going again, boy.

01:45:21 I need a partner.

01:45:26 A partner?

01:45:27 Yeah.

01:45:29 The bar would be half yours.

01:45:31 Then when I buy it, it'd be all yours.

01:45:33 Sal, you don't owe me anything.

01:45:35 No, no, no.

01:45:36 This has nothing to do with, you know, paying back a debt.

01:45:39 Trust me.

01:45:42 I really do need a partner.

01:45:43 You stay with me for a while.

01:45:51 Then you'd have to get your own place,

01:45:53 because I like to pursue the ladies, if you know what I mean.

01:45:57 Quite frankly, no offense, but you cramp my style, Doc.

01:46:00 Hm.

01:46:01 You thinking about it?

01:46:11 I am.

01:46:12 I'm picturing it.

01:46:14 It's kind of funny.

01:46:16 [CHUCKLES]

01:46:17 Yeah.

01:46:18 Might be time for a new BCD in your life, huh?

01:46:23 Better career decision.

01:46:24 There you go.

01:46:26 If nothing else, I guarantee it, we'd have some fun.

01:46:31 What's wrong with that?

01:46:36 You are in love with that thing.

01:46:41 Look at you. You can't even put it down.

01:46:42 No, I'm trying to get that fucker O'Toole to answer.

01:46:47 You know, my whole place could be burned down, for all I know.

01:46:50 Come on, you dick.

01:46:51 [DOOR OPENS]

01:46:52 Well, there it is, Larry's graduation suit.

01:47:02 Oh, it's nice.

01:47:03 Very nice, Doc.

01:47:05 Looks a little small.

01:47:07 You think?

01:47:08 Yes, sir.

01:47:10 Larry bulked up, so that might be a little tight on him now.

01:47:15 Oh, OK.

01:47:16 Well, I guess I could go down to Penny's

01:47:17 and get him something new.

01:47:19 Well, we do still have his dress blues.

01:47:22 Oh, my word.

01:47:25 The dress blue uniform.

01:47:27 Remember how we used to call it the tuxedo?

01:47:29 Tuxedo.

01:47:31 Because by law, you could wear it to any formal function.

01:47:33 Not that we ever got invited to one,

01:47:36 or it would have gone, even if we had.

01:47:38 Still, it was nice to know you always

01:47:41 dressed for any occasion.

01:47:43 That's true.

01:47:45 And a man never forgets the first time

01:47:47 he puts on that uniform.

01:47:48 Let me tell you.

01:47:50 Didn't you stand in front of the mirror looking at yourself,

01:47:52 right?

01:47:54 I am in the United States Marine Corps,

01:47:56 and I look pretty fucking good.

01:47:58 I remember loving that feeling.

01:48:00 Yes, sir.

01:48:01 I'm glad to know that never changes.

01:48:04 Oh, I bet Larry looked sharp in his, didn't he?

01:48:06 Oh, he did.

01:48:07 Yeah, he's proud as a peacock, isn't he?

01:48:09 I know that for a fact, sir.

01:48:12 You know, and that's the point, Doc.

01:48:15 It's about pride.

01:48:17 And it's not a sin.

01:48:18 Oh, no, not that kind of pride.

01:48:20 No, sir.

01:48:22 I guess I could bury him in his uniform, even if--

01:48:28 Yeah, you could.

01:48:29 Yeah.

01:48:30 It means you did something.

01:48:31 You know, you served.

01:48:33 Fuck what the politicians did.

01:48:34 You served, right?

01:48:36 You didn't try to weasel out of it

01:48:38 or think it was somebody else's job.

01:48:40 Nope.

01:48:41 You took it on, man.

01:48:42 And you looked sharp doing it.

01:48:44 Like a man.

01:48:46 [SIGHS]

01:48:48 I'm gonna-- I'm gonna bury him in his uniform.

01:48:50 That's good, Doc.

01:48:55 Never regret it, sir.

01:48:57 Fucking A.

01:48:58 OK.

01:48:59 Hey, Washington.

01:49:09 You ever relax, huh?

01:49:10 Why don't you sit down?

01:49:11 [INAUDIBLE]

01:49:16 That's it, huh?

01:49:19 OK.

01:49:20 Yeah, much better.

01:49:21 [FOOTSTEPS]

01:49:46 Why are you looking at me like that?

01:49:49 I'm sizing you up.

01:49:53 [SIGHS]

01:49:54 You know what?

01:49:56 I am gonna get you a new suit of clothes.

01:50:00 Say what?

01:50:01 Yep.

01:50:02 I'm gonna dress you up for the occasion.

01:50:05 May I ask why?

01:50:06 Because I love you.

01:50:10 [LAUGHS]

01:50:12 Hey.

01:50:12 Mm-hmm.

01:50:13 [SIGHS]

01:50:19 First of all, uh, I don't need a new suit of clothes here.

01:50:24 Second of all, you're the one who

01:50:27 could really use some grooming.

01:50:30 And third of all, neither one of us are dressed properly.

01:50:33 But we're gonna be.

01:50:34 You watch.

01:50:35 Oh, the things that come into your head and out of your mouth.

01:50:37 Scary, right?

01:50:40 You know what I think?

01:50:42 I think that I love you thing really rattled you, didn't it,

01:50:45 old man?

01:50:46 Deeply disturbed.

01:50:47 [MUSIC - THE BATS, "THERE'S A SORROW IN THE WIND"]

01:51:02 There's a sorrow in the wind.

01:51:07 Going down the road I've been, I can hear it cry while shadows

01:51:18 steal the sun.

01:51:19 But I cannot look back now.

01:51:28 I've come too far to turn around.

01:51:33 And there's still a race ahead that I must run.

01:51:40 I'm only halfway home.

01:51:49 I've got to journey on to where I'll find,

01:51:57 find the thing I've lost.

01:52:01 I've come a long, long road.

01:52:06 But still I've got two miles to go.

01:52:11 I've got a wide, wide river to cross.

01:52:18 I have stumbled.

01:52:24 I have strayed.

01:52:27 I have strayed.

01:52:30 You can trace the tracks I've made.

01:52:35 All it costs, the memories my heart recalls.

01:52:44 Doc, I don't know how grateful the nation is

01:52:48 or how much the president regrets your loss and all that.

01:52:53 But here it is, your country's flag.

01:52:58 Thank you.

01:53:04 Put that somewhere.

01:53:05 Let it remind you what was in your son's heart.

01:53:08 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:53:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:53:14 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:53:43 We don't know what the chance is.

01:53:45 I know.

01:53:47 Well, once you're a Marine, you're always a Marine.

01:53:49 And even though I'm no longer on active duty, but if I was--

01:53:53 Yeah.

01:53:54 I ask you, you see a man in this uniform?

01:53:57 Huh?

01:53:58 Could you resist all this?

01:53:59 I, um-- no, I--

01:54:02 I don't think I could.

01:54:04 Mm-hmm.

01:54:05 It's the uniform or the man in the uniform?

01:54:07 It's a killer combination.

01:54:08 It's the combination, isn't it?

01:54:09 Yeah, the combination, yeah.

01:54:10 Kind of seductive.

01:54:12 Thank you.

01:54:13 You are a very perceptive young lady.

01:54:16 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:54:19 We all wrote one.

01:54:30 I gave mine to Larry, and he gave his to me.

01:54:41 What does that say?

01:54:44 I-- I don't know, Mr. Shepard.

01:54:47 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:54:50 Hm.

01:54:52 OK.

01:54:53 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:54:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:54:59 I'm just saying, when you think about it,

01:55:20 a young man is struggling out of the gate, goes on a date,

01:55:24 has to borrow his dad's car, needs to borrow a couple bucks.

01:55:27 Whereas an older, established gentleman doesn't have to do

01:55:30 any of that, right?

01:55:31 Sal, Nose, I need you to come with me right now.

01:55:33 Can you see I'm a little busy right now?

01:55:34 I can.

01:55:35 I'm going to have to borrow him for a few minutes.

01:55:36 Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.

01:55:37 Does this have to happen right now?

01:55:38 Right now.

01:55:39 Doc needs us.

01:55:40 Double quick, sir.

01:55:41 I'll be right back.

01:55:42 OK.

01:55:43 Yeah.

01:55:44 - We'll pick this up. - Yeah.

01:55:45 OK.

01:55:46 Bye, Sarge.

01:55:47 [DOOR OPENS]

01:55:50 You all right?

01:55:55 [SIGHS]

01:56:06 You got to open it, Doc.

01:56:16 He wanted you to have it.

01:56:18 "Dear Dad, if you are reading this,

01:56:41 then you've been notified.

01:56:43 I was always prepared to sacrifice

01:56:45 my life for my country.

01:56:47 You have to be ready to die defending what you love.

01:56:50 I need you to understand that I'm honored to die in this way.

01:56:54 Don't feel bad that my life was so short.

01:56:56 It was a good life.

01:56:59 I know you never wanted me to join the Marines,

01:57:01 but you supported me even so.

01:57:05 I had the greatest father, and I love you.

01:57:08 Now I am with Mom.

01:57:10 We will both watch over you.

01:57:12 Dad, I want you to bury me in my uniform next to Mom.

01:57:17 Your loving son, Larry."
