00:25:50 A lady at the base said not to rush
00:25:53 But you know Steve.

00:26:01 He couldn't...
00:26:05 He hit you?
00:26:07 He got rageful.
00:26:08 Did he hit you?
00:26:11 I caught a backhand.
00:26:16 I told him, "Get the hell out."
00:26:17 He's so goddamn drunk right now,

00:35:59 - Now the President himself said...
00:36:01 the Commander-in-Chief.
00:36:03 I think he trumps you either way.
00:36:06 With all due respect, sir,
00:36:11 Fuck the President?
00:36:12 Yes, sir.
00:36:15 He's not there seeing his buddies
00:36:18 I lost three men last month,
00:36:22 Those were my men, too,
00:36:25 You're an excellent leader,
00:36:28 For 11 more years?
00:36:30 - It won't come to that.
00:36:32 I think the President trumps you
00:36:34 This, sir, is bullshit, and you know it!
00:36:40 Lieutenant, you just heard
00:36:45 - Yes, sir.
00:36:47 Escort him to the stockade
00:36:51 - You're making a big mistake.
00:36:53 End of discussion.
00:36:55 Make sure he ships to the First Brigade
00:36:59 Roger, sir.
00:37:28 - Come on, hotshot.
00:37:54 - Steve, I fucked up real bad.
00:37:57 I put down a couple guys
00:38:01 - What the fuck...
00:38:03 Shit!
00:38:05 Oh, okay. Look, take it to Boot.
00:38:08 Yeah, Boot was trying to send me
00:38:10 I shook loose
00:38:12 - You definitely have fucked up now.
00:38:16 I know, I just got triggered.
00:38:19 All right. Wait, look.
00:38:22 I'll try to figure out what's going on here,
00:38:25 Thanks, man. I knew you would.
00:38:27 I'll hit you later.
00:39:14 Come on in, Sheriff.
00:39:16 Ida, listen to this.
00:39:20 These MPs came to me
00:39:24 How in the hell can he be AWOL
00:39:28 Boot's hopping mad.
00:39:30 He called me personally
00:39:33 Get Brandon to turn himself in
00:39:51 I don't understand.
00:39:54 - How can they do this?
00:39:57 With a shortage of guys and no draft,
00:39:59 they're shipping back soldiers
00:40:01 It's a backdoor draft, is what it is.
00:40:04 What about Steve?
00:40:05 Mich, I don't know.
00:40:07 This cannot be happening. No!
00:40:10 What do you want to do?
00:40:11 You want me to take you to Mexico
00:40:13 No, no, no. Out of the question, Mom.
00:40:14 I ain't dragging my tail across to Mexico.
00:40:16 I'm getting my keys.
00:40:19 Brandon.
00:40:21 Listen to me.
00:40:23 - There's no shame in that.
00:40:27 This family is done fighting this war.
00:40:28 He ain't scared, Roy.
00:40:31 I just don't want him
00:40:34 Maybe ruin his whole life.
00:40:36 I ain't gonna let it go that far.
00:40:37 Ruin his life?
00:40:39 - God damn it, Ida.
00:40:41 The Senator said to my face
00:40:44 That is a big-ass mistake.
00:40:46 You go out of the chain of command,
00:40:48 you're doubling your trouble.
00:40:50 I ain't worried about Boot once I explain
00:40:53 I just need to run up to DC right now
00:40:56 Okay. I'll take you.
00:40:58 You can't.
00:41:01 They won't be watching me. I'll take you.
00:41:03 Michelle, Steve would have my ass
00:41:07 He could be next.
00:41:09 - Let's go.
00:41:24 Steve don't talk much
00:41:30 Sand.
00:41:31 Fleas.
00:41:33 Flies.
00:41:36 Heat.
00:41:37 Boredom.
00:41:39 Or you can get shot at.
00:41:42 Or blown up.
00:41:44 That's pretty much it.
00:41:49 Sheep on the highway.
00:41:52 Where?
00:41:55 In Iraq.
00:41:58 Big-ass flocks of them.
00:42:00 Yeah?
00:42:09 Jeanie, it's me.
00:42:12 I need you to cover my shift
00:42:15 Sorry I woke you up.
00:42:16 No, I was up. I was up.
00:42:18 And covering your shift's no problem,
00:42:21 since neither one of us
00:42:23 - What?
00:42:25 drunk as fuck.
00:42:27 What the hell's happening
00:43:07 Are you all right out here?
00:43:17 I thought I saw somebody
00:43:21 You okay?
00:43:24 Yeah, sure.
00:43:28 You should try and get some sleep.
00:43:36 I'll be all right, Mich.
00:43:53 I know what I'm doing.
00:44:09 Listen, Mich, you need
00:44:13 You need some dry clothes.
00:44:36 Michelle Overton!
00:44:40 You taught me everything I know.
00:44:44 Can't be anything else, sir.
00:44:47 - Then stop your drinking!
00:44:50 All I wanna be is a soldier.
00:44:53 I just want to go back to Iraq.
00:44:56 Hey, baby.
00:44:57 - If I ever...
00:45:00 - Put him on the phone!
00:45:06 - Hey, man.
00:45:08 I have a situation you need to step into
00:45:11 I've been trying to reach you all night.
00:45:13 I've been
00:45:14 trying to bail Tommy out
00:45:17 - God damn it!
00:45:20 Squad leader is supposed to be here,
00:45:23 Steve, I can't.
00:45:25 I'm on my way to DC
00:45:27 You're what?
00:45:28 You're fucking AWOL,
00:45:30 and you're taking Michelle
00:45:32 I'm gonna cut her loose at the state line.
00:45:34 You haven't proved it to me yet!
00:45:36 I need you to handle this until I get back.
00:45:39 - This better be the last time...
00:45:41 - ... you drive drunk!
00:45:43 you are in deep fucking shit with Boot.
00:45:47 I'm gonna make this up.
00:45:51 It's all I got.
00:45:53 This is everything to me.
00:45:56 I know I'm a little sideways,
00:46:21 What's up?
00:46:23 Gonna head north on the 55
00:46:25 Long way around.
00:46:26 There's something I got to do. I'll drive.
00:46:59 In the name of the Father, the Son
00:47:04 Congratulations, man.
00:47:05 It'll take a lot more than water
00:47:07 - Thanks, man.
00:47:11 I think you need
00:47:26 Preacher and the chaplain
00:47:29 Come on, sit down.
00:47:31 Just wanted to pay my respects, sir.
00:47:34 Very grateful that you came.
00:47:36 You said you had a bad feeling
00:47:40 Why'd he go back so many times?
00:47:41 He was stop-lossed.
00:47:44 Couldn't find a way out?
00:47:46 There were people right here
00:47:49 Stop-lossed soldiers filing a lawsuit.
00:47:52 But he wouldn't listen.
00:47:54 Excuse me.
00:48:02 And how would someone find
00:48:07 Depends on who wants to know.
00:48:12 I'd like to know.
00:48:14 It started out just like any other day.
00:48:17 We were manning a checkpoint,
00:48:22 And standard operating procedure
00:48:26 Go on, we want to know.
00:48:29 We followed them into an alley.
00:48:32 I led my men into an alley.
00:48:36 Preacher, Paul, was covering our flank.
00:48:39 We got hit from both rooftops.
00:48:43 RPGs, small arms,
00:48:49 It was an ambush.
00:48:51 Leading your men into an ambush
00:48:55 That's enough, Michael.
00:49:02 I remember...
00:49:04 I was yelling at him across the alley.
00:49:07 And he got on the phone
00:49:12 he must have seen somebody
00:49:16 'cause he fired a few shots
00:49:24 And his rifle jammed.
00:49:32 That's when...
00:49:35 That's when he got hit.
00:49:39 Did our son suffer?
00:49:44 No, ma'am.
00:49:46 No, he was...
00:49:50 My brother's life was wasted over there.
00:49:55 Your brother died doing what he knew
00:50:01 And he died
00:50:04 I can tell you that.
00:50:07 He's the one that sent the picture
00:50:11 Read the back.
00:50:20 He calls, sometimes, late at night.
00:50:23 I think he's been drinking.
00:50:27 You keep that.
00:50:30 Thank you, sir, I will.
00:50:31 We want to thank you, Sergeant King,
00:50:34 Because I know that these meetings
00:50:37 - Yes, ma'am.
00:50:38 Thank you for coming.
00:50:41 Thank you.
00:50:43 Good luck getting out.
00:00:10 So you wanna go find this place
00:00:12 I'm going straight to DC.
00:00:15 All right.
00:00:23 Damn.
00:00:25 - Wait here!
00:00:26 Wait here!
00:00:28 It don't matter.
00:01:04 You got my shit, asshole.
00:01:09 Get the fuck out of here, man.
00:01:11 I want my fucking shit.
00:01:35 Break yourself, fool. Break yourself.
00:01:37 - All right! All right!
00:01:48 Stay down!
00:01:54 Okay, Hajis.
00:01:56 On your knees,
00:01:59 Now, I said!
00:02:01 Do it!
00:02:07 Hands behind your head.
00:02:10 You having fun, Haji? You having fun?
00:02:16 Who wants to play
00:02:21 You're up.
00:02:23 You're fucking up!
00:02:29 Right in the back of your head.
00:02:32 Oh, yeah, yeah. You ain't dead yet?
00:02:34 - Just give him his shit!
00:02:36 We're just getting started, here.
00:02:37 Your shit's over there, man.
00:02:39 - Just go get it.
00:02:41 I can't hear you. What'd you say?
00:02:43 Who's next?
00:02:45 You, you're next.
00:02:48 Y'all better start praying to Allah, son.
00:02:50 Man, please. Please don't shoot me.
00:02:55 - Brandon, don't shoot.
00:02:58 Oh, my God.
00:03:02 I've got everything.
00:03:03 I've got all our stuff. Okay?
00:03:06 - On your faces. On your faces!
00:03:11 Put the gun down.
00:03:13 - Get away!
00:03:15 Give me the gun.
00:03:18 Give me the gun.
00:03:21 Give me the gun,
00:03:24 - On your face!
00:03:26 - On your face!
00:05:06 You're gonna need some stitches.
00:05:15 Here.
00:05:17 - Let me help you.
00:05:26 Let me help you.
00:05:49 Before Steve came home,
00:05:53 they told us how a soldier could be
00:05:57 or other people.
00:06:03 You think I'm a danger?
00:06:05 I've been knowing you since third grade.
00:06:10 I think we've got
00:06:40 I'm sorry.
00:07:31 What's going on?
00:07:33 Same shit every night.
00:07:37 And I got babies in here.
00:07:39 Cops will be here soon.
00:07:41 Hey.
00:07:44 You laying low here?
00:07:50 How'd you find this place?
00:07:51 - Brother of a guy in my squad.
00:07:57 Didn't tell you
00:07:59 Army came down hard.
00:08:01 Locked the guy up, took everything.
00:08:04 Even his wife left him.
00:08:07 - I ain't got no time for no lawsuit.
00:08:10 There ain't a judge in this country
00:08:12 while this war is on.
00:08:15 And let me tell you something
00:08:18 Can't get a job. Can't cash a cheque.
00:08:20 And they're probably tracing your calls.
00:08:25 Now go on in there and brush your teeth
00:08:27 so we can leave, okay?
00:08:29 My youngest boy,
00:08:33 You're on the run 24/7.
00:08:35 And God forbid you get pulled over
00:08:39 You going to jail.
00:08:41 - So where you headed now?
00:08:45 I can't put my family through this
00:08:48 - What about you?
00:08:52 Why don't you write a letter to the editor
00:08:59 Listen, man, you should try
00:09:03 old peacenik lawyer,
00:09:05 takes people north.
00:09:06 He'll help you get across the border.
00:09:08 Listen, man, I ain't interested
00:09:15 Suit yourself.
00:09:18 But we've been on the run 14 months,
00:09:28 Here's the number.
00:09:31 Take it.
00:09:41 Keep it. I got it memorized.
00:09:44 Another way out of this,
00:09:48 Good luck.
00:09:49 Y'all hurry up, now.
00:09:54 You feeling all right? Yeah?
00:09:57 Here, let me see about you.
00:10:48 Oh, fuck!
00:10:51 You told him where we were.
00:10:54 He's come to take me home.
00:10:57 Thanks a lot.
00:11:01 Hey, baby.
00:11:08 Good morning.
00:11:10 Morning.
00:11:14 God damn, soldier.
00:11:16 What happened to you?
00:11:19 What you gonna tell Boot?
00:11:22 I ain't telling Boot shit.
00:11:24 Yeah, you are.
00:11:28 You ain't taking me anywhere.
00:11:31 Okay, tough guy.
00:11:34 Let me lay it out for you.
00:11:35 Boot said if I get you back on base
00:11:38 all charges are dropped, no stockade.
00:11:41 I don't need you
00:11:43 Hey!
00:11:45 You don't know what I've been through
00:11:48 You ought to be thanking me.
00:11:50 You steal my Jeep
00:11:53 That ain't how it happened.
00:11:54 You know that. I was trying to help him.
00:11:57 And that's what I'm trying to do.
00:12:01 - It's what's best for him.
00:12:05 What's best for you, Steve?
00:12:07 Showing up here in your Class A's.
00:12:08 What kind of deal did you make
00:12:15 You took him up
00:12:19 God damn!
00:12:25 You re-enlisted?
00:12:29 - How could you do this?
00:12:31 - for three fucking days and not call me?
00:12:33 and you re-enlist?
00:12:37 How could I not?
00:12:39 Michelle, it got real clear to me
00:12:44 It's safe?
00:12:48 And when are we
00:12:51 When I get back from my next tour.
00:12:53 When you get back?
00:12:56 You've been saying that to me
00:13:01 It's clear you've made your decision.
00:13:04 This is good for me.
00:13:06 I got a future in this.
00:13:09 This is something
00:13:12 Did you really see me
00:13:17 Get out of here.
00:13:18 Look, I'm sorry. Hold on. Please?
00:13:21 - Don't.
00:13:22 Don't.
00:13:23 - Please, just...
00:13:26 Fucker, get out.
00:13:28 I said get out!
00:13:39 Fuck!
00:13:50 Did that really just fucking happen?
00:13:52 Fucking motherfucker!
00:13:56 That was fucked up.
00:13:59 What did you expect?
00:14:02 God damn it.
00:14:05 - You, Tommy, now Michelle?
00:14:09 He's too messed up, man.
00:14:11 I can't get through to him like you can.
00:14:18 Look, come on.
00:14:19 Come on. We'll go and we'll knock out
00:14:22 Another tour?
00:14:24 You're always talking
00:14:26 how they won't let us fight it
00:14:28 Now you want to go back?
00:14:30 That makes no fucking sense.
00:14:32 Like this makes any fucking sense?
00:14:36 This isn't who we are, man.
00:14:39 Man, look, we didn't get
00:14:41 just for you to end up
00:14:45 We ain't like these guys.
00:14:48 We stand for something, man.
00:14:51 All right. Stow the Boot talk, man.
00:14:52 You let him talk you into going back?
00:14:57 Well, fuck you, man!
00:14:58 I did what I had to do
00:15:01 and I ain't gonna do it any more.
00:15:03 You can take that back to Boot.
00:15:05 You're the only person
00:15:09 Boot called the Senator.
00:15:11 You're AWOL, Brandon.
00:15:13 No senator is gonna help you.
00:15:15 Steve, you know
00:15:19 I'm not going back.
00:15:21 I'm fighting this thing.
00:15:35 Hey!
00:15:45 Watch your six.
00:16:04 Sergeant King,
00:16:06 the Senator cannot see you.
00:16:08 Ma'am, I'm a decorated soldier.
00:16:10 Now, a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star
00:16:13 I understand.
00:16:15 But you're a fugitive.
00:16:16 No US official, no government official
00:16:21 Go back to your base
00:17:14 Tequila.
00:17:15 You know, it's happy hour.
00:17:18 Well, lucky me. Double, double.
00:17:37 Can I join you?
00:18:01 The way I see it,
00:18:05 Steve's married to the Army.
00:18:09 It's everything to him.
00:18:15 I can't go another year
00:18:21 I can't be a military wife.
00:18:27 I just ain't that strong.
00:18:35 Well, Michelle,
00:18:38 you know, life is very long, and...
00:18:42 - Brandon.
00:18:45 Shut up and drink.
00:18:47 - Yes, ma'am.
00:18:50 Same again.
00:19:07 All right, men. You all straighten up
00:19:10 Yes, sir.
00:19:13 What are you doing
00:19:14 You ain't even supposed to be drinking.
00:19:16 Come on, man. What are you...
00:19:18 Where are you going?
00:19:20 Over to Jeanie's.
00:19:22 Jeanie don't want you, dummy.
00:19:26 Come on, Tommy.
00:19:30 I'm gonna make it better.
00:19:32 Swear to God.
00:19:34 Just propose again.
00:19:38 Only thing you proposing is
00:19:40 Let's get out of here.
00:19:45 All right. Come on, man.
00:19:46 You know I ain't gonna
00:19:49 You talking about Jeanie?
00:19:50 You can't even manage
00:19:57 No, I didn't mean it like that, Steve.
00:19:59 - No, seriously. No, come on.
00:20:02 I'm sorry.
00:20:04 Steve, come on. I'm sorry.
00:21:30 I smell a woman, and it ain't a nurse.
00:21:34 Then who?
00:21:36 Hola, Private Rodriguez.
00:21:37 Sergeant King!
00:21:39 My first visitor.
00:21:41 You found me.
00:21:42 I did.
00:21:44 And who?
00:21:46 Michelle.
00:21:49 Hey, Rico.
00:21:51 Sergeant Shriver's Michelle.
00:21:56 Sunny blonde hair, green eyes.
00:22:00 Steve showed us your picture
00:22:03 Sergeant King came to see me
00:22:08 - It's a long story.
00:22:10 Sit, man. I got time.
00:22:14 - Good to see you.
00:22:17 - How's my mother?
00:22:21 Yeah. And my brothers?
00:22:23 They're getting big. Growing up.
00:22:25 - They strong?
00:22:27 Taking after their brother.
00:22:28 - Not as handsome.
00:22:45 I'll let you guys talk.
00:22:47 - All right.
00:22:50 She sounds cute.
00:22:54 - How're you feeling?
00:22:57 - Just as comfy as a Humvee.
00:23:00 I wouldn't have thought, but...
00:23:03 First-class treatment, Sarge.
00:23:05 Good. So I don't have
00:23:06 - No, sir.
00:23:17 Nice break.
00:23:18 Thank you.
00:23:29 - That's impressive.
00:23:31 - What can I say?
00:23:33 - Come on.
00:23:35 - Yeah?
00:23:37 - But does she give a good bath?
00:23:40 Well, there you go. That's what matters.
00:23:42 I haven't felt anything else,
00:23:46 - Soon as I get the rest of this.
00:23:50 Man, I had this thing,
00:23:54 You were at the bottom
00:23:56 and I dove in to try to save you.
00:23:59 But I couldn't.
00:24:01 It's okay, man.
00:24:04 You did save me.
00:24:07 I'm right here.
00:24:10 And seeing stuff, man?
00:24:14 Here, at night?
00:24:17 Sounds like a fucking horror movie.
00:24:20 Guys screaming, nightmares...
00:24:26 Sarge, we got out just in time.
00:24:31 I mean, Haji's new bombs...
00:24:35 You don't want to survive, man.
00:24:37 Sounds crazy,
00:24:42 They want to send me back.
00:24:45 I hope you told them no fucking way.
00:24:48 I mean, I might go back.
00:24:51 'Cause if I got killed,
00:25:01 - Sir.
00:25:02 Could you move me out of the sun?
00:25:04 Okay.
00:25:12 So, I'm sorry, but I got to ask.
00:25:16 What you doing
00:25:19 They broke up.
00:25:24 She was giving you a ride before
00:25:29 Not like that.
00:25:30 Michelle's close to my family.
00:25:31 She's just helping me out.
00:25:35 What?
00:25:39 You should hear
00:25:43 You a Jody.
00:25:45 It's time for you to go back
00:25:49 Jody got your girl and gone
00:25:52 Sing it.
00:25:53 I don't know the words. You sing it.
00:25:54 Ain't no use in going home
00:25:59 You watching this one?
00:26:06 - Nice shot.
00:26:10 What you laughing at? You lost.
00:26:17 That's pretty funny.
00:26:19 - "Give you a hand."
00:26:24 - Help me push it.
00:26:28 Thank you.
00:26:36 - It's fucking strong.
00:26:44 I'll be in touch, Rico.
00:26:46 - Tell the boys I said, "What's up?"
00:26:59 I signed up,
00:27:01 thinking I was gonna go over there
00:27:04 My family.
00:27:07 We wanted payback for 9/11,
00:27:10 and you get there,
00:27:12 and you realise
00:27:15 The enemy ain't out in the desert.
00:27:16 They're in the hallways and rooftops,
00:27:22 Everybody's got a weapon.
00:27:24 Everybody.
00:27:26 Nobody knows who's who.
00:27:28 The only thing you can believe in
00:27:31 Protecting the guy to your left
00:27:35 Side by side,
00:27:42 By the time you start seeing
00:27:46 good friends' bodies held together
00:27:53 you get a kill-or-be-killed mentality.
00:28:07 It's okay.
00:28:09 No, it ain't.
00:28:14 Michelle, I'm worried
00:28:15 you're gonna think differently of me,
00:28:18 I couldn't stand that.
00:28:21 I ain't gonna think that.
00:28:29 Our last mission, in the alley,
00:28:31 well, when Rico got hit,
00:28:34 I looked in his face,
00:28:42 I had to go in to get Steve.
00:28:45 I knew he was in trouble.
00:29:26 I'm done with killing.
00:29:28 And I ain't leading any more men
00:29:36 You have to call Carlson.
00:29:45 I know.
00:30:12 Mr Carlson.
00:30:15 - My name is...
00:30:17 All right. What's the problem?
00:30:20 I'm a Staff Sergeant, a squad leader,
00:30:23 two tours, Afghanistan and Iraq,
00:30:27 They're shipping me back
00:30:29 There's so many of you guys out there.
00:30:31 I've heard it before. It's the same story,
00:30:36 Do you understand what I do?
00:30:38 I strip away who you are.
00:30:41 where you're gonna live
00:30:42 pretending to be someone else.
00:30:44 Do you want that?
00:30:46 I can't go home. I can't go back.
00:30:52 I need your services.
00:30:54 I won't be able to discuss this further
00:30:57 Do you have some money?
00:31:01 I have a few bucks.
00:31:02 Well, when you get a grand,
00:31:03 start driving north
00:31:08 700, 800, 900, 1000.
00:31:13 - Not a bad price.
00:32:00 Come on. This is a good opportunity.
00:32:03 Rainey said that people will just line up
00:32:06 Yeah, not with a BCD.
00:32:08 It's not like you're gonna
00:32:13 What's a BCD?
00:32:17 It's the big chicken dinner.
00:32:21 It's what we call it in the Army.
00:32:23 It's a Bad Conduct Discharge.
00:32:28 We gonna shoot this shit up, or what?
00:32:32 That shotgun loaded?
00:32:34 What's the first rule
00:32:36 Always assume every weapon is loaded.
00:32:40 Yes, sir.
00:32:42 Sorry.
00:32:46 Where are you going?
00:32:47 I'm going back to the bunkhouse,
00:32:51 Don't feel like shooting shit up today
00:32:55 'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass
00:32:59 Hey, Uncle Sam...
00:33:02 - Later, guys.
00:33:03 Later, Tommy.
00:33:05 Brought to you courtesy
00:33:16 Of my red, white and blue
00:33:31 I spotted you guys from a mile off.
00:33:34 Oh, well.
00:33:36 What happened?
00:33:38 I just had a run-in with a couple guys.
00:33:40 Yeah. That kind of shit happens
00:33:43 All you guys get popped eventually.
00:33:47 Is this a package deal?
00:33:50 Just one for now.
00:33:53 - You thought about this?
00:33:56 'Cause one-way means one-way.
00:33:58 You go, you're going for good,
00:34:00 unless you get fucked with extradition.
00:34:02 Pardon my French.
00:34:04 I don't want you calling me up crying
00:34:06 how you can't go to grandma's funeral
00:34:09 Texas.
00:34:11 We're from Texas.
00:34:12 Whatever.
00:34:14 I just want it all laid out straight.
00:34:18 Canada's not that bad.
00:34:21 I just had a guy up there,
00:34:24 Loves Toronto.
00:34:26 Says it's a lot like New York.
00:34:28 I ain't so crazy about New York, so far.
00:34:32 You got any other options?
00:34:35 Look, I don't know shit about Mexico.
00:34:39 Here's your new I.D.
00:34:41 They'll fix in the photos
00:34:45 Day after tomorrow,
00:34:46 somebody will meet you
00:34:50 Take you over.
00:34:53 - You got the money?
00:34:59 No refunds, right?
00:35:01 Got it. Half now and half across.
00:35:05 Go make your calls.
00:35:07 Say your goodbyes.
00:35:19 Hi, Mom?
00:35:26 He did what?
00:35:32 When?
00:35:39 I don't...
00:35:43 Let me call you back, Mom.
00:35:54 Tommy shot himself out at the ranch.
00:36:55 Left, face.
00:37:00 This flag
00:37:04 is presented on behalf
00:37:09 and the United States Army
00:37:13 as a token of appreciation
00:37:17 honourable and faithful service.
00:37:42 Come on, Ida. Let's go.
00:38:47 Look who came home.
00:38:59 That's for fucking running out on us.
00:39:03 And that's for coming back
00:39:08 And that's on general principle.
00:39:16 Fuck you.
00:39:17 You're throwing everything
00:39:19 You stupid...
00:39:33 Y'all gonna get yourselves killed,
00:39:38 Shut the fuck up.
00:39:51 So you just go over there
00:39:55 You see this?
00:39:58 You see this?
00:39:59 This is you next.
00:40:41 Steve.
00:40:43 You don't fucking belong here!
00:40:45 I don't...
00:41:08 Maybe you don't.
00:41:10 Bullshit!
00:41:13 since we were fucking stealing
00:41:16 That was a long time ago.
00:41:18 Then, please. Tell me.
00:41:21 Tell me what you've been thinking,
00:41:24 has made any fucking sense
00:41:28 You know that box inside your head?
00:41:30 That box inside your head where you...
00:41:32 You put all the bad shit
00:41:36 Well, mine's full.
00:41:38 And it's spilling out.
00:41:41 Steve, it is full of all the people
00:41:46 Preacher.
00:41:49 Randy.
00:41:51 Harvey.
00:41:55 Thomas.
00:41:59 All the rest I've lost
00:42:02 Think how many people
00:42:04 if you wouldn't have been there!
00:42:06 Steve, I didn't do
00:42:12 I fucked up!
00:42:20 If you don't fall in beside us,
00:42:25 it all comes apart.
00:43:36 The ranch always felt so safe.
00:43:39 You'll find another place
00:44:50 Sir.
00:45:12 Damn.
00:46:10 You okay?
00:46:16 Across that border,
00:46:19 that ain't gonna be me
00:46:23 It's gonna be the ghost of me.
00:46:26 Brandon, please.
00:46:28 And never the ranch.
00:46:33 Never you and Dad, never Brazos.
00:46:37 This war ain't never gonna
00:46:41 I'm sorry, Mom.
