PRIVATE AARON
PHILLIPS, 6146825.

AH!

I'M GOING ASK
YOU ONE MORE TIME.

WHERE IS THE AMMUNITION?

PRIVATE AARON
PHILLIPS, 6146825.

[TYPING]

WHERE AM I?

WELCOME TO
PARADISE, SOLDIER.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

PHILLIPS, PRIVATE
AARON PHILLIPS.

WELL, I'M SERGEANT MONROE,
AND THIS HANDSOME

FELLA HERE IS LT. HILL.

SERGEANT, LIEUTENANT.

WHERE ARE WE?

WHAT IS THIS PLACE?

WELL, BEST WE CAN
TELL THIS MAY BE HELL.

SORRY FOR THE RHYME, HOW'D
YOU END UP HERE ANYWAY?

WELL, I WAS WITH
THE THIRD BATTALION.

WE WERE DOING SOME HUMPING
OUT THERE IN SECTOR SIX.

IT WAS AN AMBUSH, SIR.

THEY HAD NOWHERE TO FIRE AT.

WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
WHO WAS AMBUSHING US.

ALL I KNOW IS I WOKE UP WITH
MY HEAD TIED TO A TABLE.

HAVE YOU SEEN ANYONE ELSE?

NO, YOU DIDN'T TELL
THEM NOTHING DID YOU?

NO, NO, SIR.

JUST MY NAME, RANK, AND
SERIAL NUMBER, AND SERVICE.

THAT'S GOOD.

SERIOUSLY, SIR, DO
YOU KNOW WHERE WE ARE?

NO, BUT NEEDLESS TO
SAY IT AIN'T CLUB MED.

- WHO WAS IT, PRIVATE?
- SIR?

THAT INTERROGATED
YOU, WAS IT THE CZAR?

YEAH, BIG UGLY GUY, LONG
SCAR DOWN SIDE OF HIS CHEEK.

SORRY TO SAY, FELLAS, I
DIDN'T CATCH HIS NAME, SIRS,

BUT I GOTTA ADMIT HE WASN'T
AN ATTRACTIVE FELLOW.

YEAH, THAT WAS
PROBABLY THE CZAR.

LOOKS LIKE HE DID
QUITE A NUMBER ON YOU.

YEAH, IT FEELS LIKE THAT.

WISH I COULD SAY I GAVE AS
GOOD AS I GOT, BUT I DIDN'T.

WELL YOU DID WHAT WAS
EXPECTED OF YOU, PRIVATE.

YOU JUST STICK TO YOUR
TRAINING, AND YOU'LL

BE JUST FINE.

THANK YOU, SIR.

WHY DID THEY TAKE OUR
BOOTS, BY THE WAY?

IT'S AN OLD TACTIC, IT
KEEPS YOU FROM RUNNING.

THEY PUT GLASS ALL AROUND
THE OUTSIDE OF THE CELL.

THAT WAY EVEN IF YOU FIND
A WAY OUT,

WE AIN'T GETTING FAR.

SERGEANT, HOW LONG
HAVE YOU BEEN HERE?

ME? I DON'T KNOW, IT'S BEEN
GOING ON NINE DAYS NOW.

HILL CHECKED IN HERE
ABOUT SIX DAYS AGO.

AND CZAR?

HIM AND HIS GOONS COME
BACK EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE

AND TAKE ONE OF US
OUT, ROUGH US UP A BIT.

TRY TO GET US TO TALK.

SO THERE'S
GOING TO BE MORE?

SO WHERE YOU
FROM, PRIVATE?

BOB, SIR, BOB MISSOURI.

BOB, MISSOURI?

THERE'S A
PLACE CALLED BOB?

YES, SIRS.

I GUESS THE FOLKS THAT
ESTABLISHED THE PLACE WEREN'T

THAT CREATIVE IN NAMING IT.

THAT'S A NICE LOOKING
FAMILY, PRIVATE.

THANK YOU, SIR.

WHAT DO YOU GOT THERE?

THAT'S MY MAGGIE.

PRETTY GIRL. GIRLFRIEND?

YES, SIR.

WELL, SORT OF.

SHE WAS THE DAY
BEFORE I SHIPPED OUT.

SHE BROKE UP
WITH YOU?

NO, NO SIR.

QUITE THE OPPOSITE, ACTUALLY.

SEE, I ASKED HER TO MARRY ME,
AND WELL, I GUESS

NOW SHE'S MY FIANCE'.

YOU ASKED HER TO MARRY
YOU THE DAY YOU SHIPPED OUT?

YES, SIR.

CONGRATULATIONS, PRIVATE.

THANK YOU, SIR.

IT'S BEEN ABOUT TWO YEARS
NOW, BUT I REMEMBER IT LIKE

IT WAS YESTERDAY.

- HEY, MOM.
- MORNING.

MANNERS, MANNERS,
GET A GLASS!

THAT ROOSTER OF
YOURS IS A FAILURE.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO TELL YOU.

THAT'S OKAY.

WHY, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

LOOK WHAT TIME IT IS, MA.

THERE YOU GO.

THANK YOU.

SOMETHING TELLS ME I'M NOT
GOING TO GET THIS KIND OF

COOKING WHERE I'M GOING.

PROBABLY NOT, BUT IT WILL
BE WAITING FOR YOU WHEN YOU

GET BACK HOME ALONG WITH YOUR
ROOM AND YOUR CHAIR

IN THE LIVING ROOM.

YOU KNOW, MA, I WAS
THINKING, MAYBE I SHOULD GET

MY OWN PLACE WHEN I GET BACK.

DON'T BE SILLY.

WHY SPEND THE MONEY WHEN
YOU'VE GOT A PERFECTLY GOOD

PLACE TO LIVE RIGHT HERE
WITH MOMMY AND DADDY.

VALID POINT.

I JUST DON'T THINK DAD WILL
MAKE ME TOO WELCOME

TO COME HOME.

OH, HON, YOUR FATHER'S
JUST ...WELL, HE'S

JUST YOUR FATHER.

HE DOESN'T WANT ME TO GO.

WELL, OF
COURSE HE DOESN'T.

HE LOVES YOU,
AND HE'S SCARED.

NONE OF US WANT YOU TO GO.

YOU UNDERSTAND,
THOUGH, RIGHT MA?

WHY I GOTTA GO?

NOT REALLY, SWEETHEART,
BUT I'VE ALWAYS TRUSTED YOU,

AND YOU'VE ALWAYS TRUSTED
YOUR HEART, SO IF THIS IS

WHAT YOU FEEL YOU HAVE TO DO,
I HAVE TO TRUST THAT YOU'RE

MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION.

AM I, MA?

AM I MAKING THE
RIGHT DECISION?

I KNOW I GOT A DUTY TO DO,
AND I CAN FEEL

THAT IN MY HEART.

I'VE JUST BEEN DOUBTING
LATELY, I JUST DON'T KNOW.

I CAN'T ANSWER
THAT FOR YOU, HON.

YOU'RE A GROWN MAN, NOW,
YOU'RE 20 YEARS OLD.

BUT I KNOW YOU'VE PRAYED
ABOUT IT, AND YOU'VE COME TO

YOUR DECISION, AND GOD
NEVER LEADS US IN

A WRONG DIRECTION.

TELL DAD THAT.

OH, I'VE TRIED.

I THINK MAYBE YOU NEED TO
TELL HIM ONE MORE TIME.

HE DOESN'T WANT
TO TALK TO ME, MA.

HONEY, I THINK IN HIS
HEART THERE'S NOTHING MORE

THAT HE'D RATHER DO.

AND IN YOUR HEART I THINK
YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO.

YOU'RE RIGHT, MA.

NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT.

WATCH YOUR HEAD.

GOD, GIVE HIM STRENGTH.

AND GIVE THAT ANGRY MAN IN
THE BARN SOME

PATIENCE AND WISDOM.

HEY, POP.

CAN I HELP?

NOT UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW TO
CHANGE OUT A DISTRIBUTOR CAP,

WHICH I KNOW YOU DON'T.

YOU THINK THAT'S WHAT'S
WRONG WITH IT, HUH?

LOOK, SORRY I SLEPT SO LATE.

I DIDN'T HEAR THE
ROOSTER GO OFF.

WANT ME TO TAKE
CARE OF THE STRAW?

ALREADY DID IT.

DID IT BEFORE
THE SUN CAME UP.

DAD, THERE'S GOT TO BE
SOMETHING I CAN

DO TO HELP OUT.

WELL, YOU SHOULDN'T
WORRY ABOUT THAT NOW.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
STICK AROUND ANYWAY.

WHAT DOES IT MATTER?

I'M LEAVING TOMORROW,
WE GOTTA TALK ABOUT THIS.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
GO AHEAD AND LEAVE TODAY.

MAKE NO DIFFERENCE TO ME.

REALLY, POP?

IT DOESN'T MATTER
TO YOU AT ALL?

DON'T YOU EVER LAY
YOUR HANDS ON ME, BOY.

YOU THINK I'M GOING TO TELL
YOU YOU'RE DOING GOOD BY

GOING DOWN THERE?

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, ALL
YOU'RE DOING IS

ABANDONING YOUR FAMILY.

YOU KNOW I HAVE TO HIRE
ANOTHER MAN NOW, RIGHT TO

HELP OUT AROUND HERE?

AND YOU'RE LEAVING RIGHT AS
THE SPRING PLANTING SEASON'S

COMING ALONG, TAKING AWAY
THAT EXTRA SET OF HANDS.

DON'T COME DOWN HERE ASKING
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP.

ALL YOU THINK
ABOUT IS YOURSELF.

WELL, THAT WENT WELL.

WHAT HAPPENED?

LET'S JUST SAY HE'S NOT
THAT UPSET ABOUT

ME LEAVING TOMORROW.

SERIOUSLY, WHY
IS HE SO UPSET?

IS IT REALLY BECAUSE I
CAN'T HELP WITH

THE SPRING PLANTING?

- IS THAT WHAT HE SAID?
- YEAH.

OH, AND THAT I WAS
ABANDONING THE FAMILY.

I WAS HOPING THAT HE'D
FINALLY TALK TO YOU.

ABOUT WHAT?

ABOUT THE REAL REASON
WHY HE'S SO ANGRY.

YOU SEE, HONEY, WHEN I TOLD
YOU HE WAS SCARED,

I MEANT IT.

YOUR FATHER WOULD NEVER
ADMIT IT BEING SCARED ABOUT

ANYTHING, BUT
THAT IS THE TRUTH.

THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOUR
FATHER NEVER TALKED

TO YOU ABOUT.

WHAT'S THAT?

HE LOST TWO
BROTHERS IN VIETNAM.

THEY WERE HIS OLDER BROTHERS,
AND HE WORSHIPPED THEM.

HE JUST THOUGHT
THE WORLD OF THEM.

THEY WENT, AND THEY
NEVER CAME BACK.

AND THEN HE JUST, LIKE
EVERYONE ELSE ON HIS

SIDE OF THE FAMILY, JUST
NEVER DEALT WITH IT.

HE BOTTLED UP ALL OF THAT
PAIN AND ALL OF THAT HURT AND

JUST NEVER DEALT WITH IT.

IT WAS A MIRACLE HE EVEN
TALKED TO ME ABOUT IT.

HE LOST HIS BROTHERS
IN THAT WAR.

HE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO
LOSE YOU IN THIS ONE.

IS THAT WHAT HE THINKS?

YOU SEE, THIS FARM, THIS
FAMILY, IS ALL HE REALLY HAS.

HE WAS HOPING TO PASS THE
FARM DOWN TO YOU SOMEDAY.

MA, HE STILL CAN.

I KNOW, I KNOW, BUT HE HAS
A DIFFERENT VIEW OF THINGS.

HIS VIEW OF WAR IS THAT IT
TOOK HIS BROTHERS AWAY FROM

HIM, AND HE JUST DOESN'T WANT
THE SAME THING

TO HAPPEN TO YOU.

SO HE DECIDES TO HATE ME.

THAT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER?

HE DOESN'T HATE YOU.

HE JUST DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO
DEAL WITH THE THINGS THAT ARE

GOING ON INSIDE
OF HIM RIGHT NOW.

IT JUST COMES OUT WRONG.

GIRL'S HERE.

MAGGIE. MA?

GO AHEAD, HONEY.

I COULDN'T WAIT TO
SEE YOU THIS MORNING.

ME, TOO.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU'RE LEAVING TOMORROW.

I DON'T WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW.

I JUST WANT TO LOOK AT YOU.

I JUST WANT TO HOLD YOU
AND I WANT TO BE WITH YOU.

HEY, I WANT TO TALK TO
YOU ABOUT SOMETHING. COME ON.

WHAT'S WITH THE BLANKETS?

WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?

SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE
DONE A LONG TIME AGO.

MAGGIE, HOW LONG HAVE WE
BEEN TOGETHER, FIVE YEARS?

UH-HUH.

AND IN THAT TIME, YOU
KNOW, I'VE WATCH YOU GROW TO

BE SO BEAUTIFUL
RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES.

I CAN'T IMAGINE
BEING WITHOUT YOU.

I'M LEAVING TOMORROW, AND
KNOWING THAT I'M GOING TO BE

GONE THAT LONG,
IT'S KILLING ME.

AARON, IF YOU'RE ASKING ME
IF I'M GOING TO WAIT FOR YOU,

OF COURSE.

NO, NO, THAT'S NOT
WHAT I WAS GETTING AT.

I MEAN THAT'S GREAT, BUT
THAT'S NOT WHAT

I WAS GETTING AT.

AARON WHY ARE
YOU SWEATING?

IT'S THE MIDDLE OF WINTER.

MAGGIE, HONEY,
LET ME FINISH.

OF COURSE.

LIKE I WAS SAYING, KNOWING
THAT I GOT YOU HERE WAITING

ON ME WHEN I GET BACK, THAT'S
ENOUGH TO GET

ME THROUGH ANYTHING.

BUT I WANT TO KNOW I'M
COMING HOME TO MORE

THAN A GIRLFRIEND.

I WANT TO KNOW THAT I'M
COMING HOME TO A FIANCE'.

MAGGIE MARY JESSUP,
WILL YOU MARRY ME?

OF COURSE, YOU BIG GALOOT.

OF COURSE I'LL MARRY YOU,
WHAT YOU SO LONG TO ASK?

MAGGIE, I KNOW
IT'S NOT MUCH.

I DIDN'T HAVE A
LOT MONEY TO SPEND.

BUT AS SOON AS I GET BACK,
I'LL GET YOU A REAL ONE.

I'LL NEVER TAKE IT OFF.

I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU, TOO.

WE'VE GOT TO TELL MY FOLKS.

OH, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

AARON, WELCOME
TO THE FAMILY.

THANK YOU, SIR.

PLEASE, MAMA, LET ME GO.

WHAT'S UP WITH
THIS SIR, GARBAGE?

COME OVER HERE.

YOU CAN START CALLING US
MOM AND DAD RIGHT AWAY.

I CAN'T BELIEVE MY LITTLE
GIRL'S GETTING MARRIED.

I LOVE YOU, DARLING.

THANK YOU, DADDY.

AARON, CONGRATULATIONS.

I HAVE TO SIT DOWN.

WHAT'S ALL THE NOISE
ABOUT? Y'ALL WOKE ME UP.

YOUR SISTER'S GETTING
MARRIED, SLEEPY HEAD.

AARON FINALLY
POPPED THE QUESTION.

THAT'S FANTASTIC.

YOU'RE KIDDING, RIGHT?

HEY, I'M GOING GET A
REAL ONE WHEN I GET BACK.

AS SOON AS I GET HOME.

SURE, IF YOU COME HOME.

PAUL, WHY DO YOU
HAVE TO BE SUCH A JERK?

WHY DID YOU GO AND
SAY A THING LIKE THAT?

WHAT?

I'M JUST SAYING WHAT
EVERYONE ELSE IS THINKING.

PHILLIPS, IF YOU WANT TO
KNOW WHAT THE DAUGHTER'S

GOING TO LOOK LIKE WHEN SHE
GETS OLDER, JUST TAKE

A LOOK AT THE MOTHER.

I HEARD THAT.

I'M JUST SAYING.

SO, STILL DON'T BELIEVE
IN THE WAR, HUH PAUL?

LEARN TO KNIT
SOCKS, CLASS.

CALL TO SIGN UP NOW.

I THINK I MIGHT.

LOOK, I JUST THINK WE HAVE
TOO MUCH GOING ON HERE IN

THIS COUNTRY, INSTEAD OF
STICKING OUR NOSES IN OTHER

COUNTRIES' BUSINESS.

OUR NOSES?

YEAH.

I DON'T THINK YOU CAN
CONSIDER IT YOUR NOSE.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

I MEAN, IF YOU WANT TO
CONSIDER YOURSELF PART OF

THIS COUNTRY ENOUGH TO CALL
IT US, DON'T YOU THINK YOU

SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THE
DECISIONS OF THE COUNTRY?

THE DECISIONS OF THE
COUNTRY OR THE DECISIONS

OF A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE?

HOW CAN YOU ASK ME TO SUPPORT
SOMETHING THAT SENDS YOUNG

SOLDIERS JUST LIKE YOU HOME
IN BODY BAGS EVERY DAY?

THIS ISN'T OUR WAR, PHILLIPS.

WHAT IS IT, THEN?

A BIG MONEY MAKER.

THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS TO
PAY BACK ITS

CAMPAIGN FUND SOMEHOW.

SO YOU THINK THIS IS A
PLOY JUST TO LOOK GOOD OR

WIN SOME VOTES OVER?

WHO REALLY
KNOWS THESE THINGS?

DO YOU KNOW BARRY BLAKE,
DO YOU REMEMBER HIM?

HE WAS IN MY CLASS A
FEW YEARS AHEAD OF YOU.

YEAH.

YEAH, WELL, HE ALSO
THOUGHT IT WAS HIS CIVIC DUTY

TO GO OVER THERE AND
FIGHT JUST LIKE YOU.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY, HIS
FIANCE' ALL NEVER GOT A

CHANCE TO SAY GOODBYE.

HE WAS THERE ONE DAY, AND
THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION, AND

HE WASN'T THERE ANY MORE.

NOW, TELL ME PHILLIPS,
WHAT DID THAT ACCOMPLISH?

PAUL...

AND THEN YOU GO AND DO
SOMETHING STUPID LIKE ASK MY

SISTER TO MARRY YOU, AS IF
IT WASN'T BAD ENOUGH SHE WAS

GOING TO LOSE A BOYFRIEND.

NOW SHE'S GOING
TO LOSE A FIANCE'.

I DON'T EXPECT
YOU TO UNDERSTAND.

I CAN'T.

EXCUSE ME, SIR?

I SAID THEY ISN'T
UNDERSTAND, A LOT

OF THEM ANYWAY.

THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS
IN OUR MINDS AND HEARTS,

WHY WE COME HERE AND
DO WHAT WE DO.

I MEAN, EVERYBODY WANTS THEIR
FREEDOM, BUT FEW OF US ARE

REALLY BRAVE ENOUGH
TO FIGHT FOR IT.

IT'S EASY TO BE BRAVE
FROM A DISTANCE.

LOOK, PAUL, I'M GOING OVER
THERE FOR YOUR

SISTERS, FOR BLAKE.

I'M EVEN GOING
OVER THERE FOR YOU.

DON'T DRAG ME INTO THIS.

THIS HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH ME.

THIS HAS EVERYTHING TO
DO WITH YOU,

AND EVERYONE ELSE HERE.

FREEDOMS THAT WE LOVE THE
MOST, I MEAN, THE FREEDOMS

THAT YOU HAVE JUST TO HATE
ME FOR GOING OVER THERE.

IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GO OVER
THERE AND FIGHT, THEN WE

WOULDN'T HAVE THOSE
KIND OF THINGS, PAUL.

IS THAT WHAT
THEY'RE TELLING YOU?

THEY REALLY HAVE BRAINWASHED
YOU, HAVEN'T THEY?

THIS IS JUST NOT OUR WAR.

BY US GOING OVER THERE,
PAUL, IT'S KEEPING IT FROM

COMING OVER HERE.

I WANT TO FIGHT FOR
THOSE THAT CAN'T.

YOU BELIEVE WHATEVER YOU
WANT, BUT DO YOU HAVE TO DRAG

MY SISTER INTO IT?

I'M TRYING TO PROVIDE
MAGGIE WITH A PLACE THAT'S

SAFE AND SECURE.

COME NOT, AARON, JASON AND
ERICA ARE WAITING FOR US.

JUST REMEMBER IF YOU DO
COME HOME FROM THE WAR, AND

YOU HURT MY SISTER, I'LL DO
THINGS TO YOU THAT

THE WAR DIDN'T, OKAY?

NOW GO HAVE FUN PLAYING
G. I. JOE.

HEY, EVERYBODY.

OH, LET ME
SEE, LET ME SEE!

BOY, WORD TRAVELS FAST.

IT'S A SMALL TOWN, MY MAN.

WHAT'S WITH THIS
TOY RING, AARON?

WHAT, ERICA, JEALOUS?

ACTUALLY YES.

SLOW DOWN, SWEETHEART,
WE'VE ONLY BEEN DATING FOR

SIX MONTHS.

YEAH, WELL DON'T EXPECT ME
TO WAIT FIVE

YEARS LIKE SHE HAS.

BUT IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT.

I DON'T KNOW WHY EVERYONE
THINKS WE SHOULD HAVE

GOTTEN ENGAGED SOONER.

AGAIN SMALL
TOWN LIFE, MY MAN.

COME ON, WE'VE GOT
TO SHOW EVERYONE ELSE.

IT'S JUST A PLACE HOLDER.

THERE ARE NO PLACE HOLDERS
WHEN YOU GET ENGAGED.

SHE THINKS THAT RING IS THE
BEST THING IN THE WORLD.

I'M GETTING HER A REAL
ONE AS SOON AS I GET BACK.

I WANTED TO ASK
YOU ABOUT THAT.

Y'ALL PACKED UP FOR TOMORROW?

ALMOST.

I GOT A COUPLE OF LOOSE ENDS
I HAVE TO TIE UP, BUT OTHER

THAN THAT I'M GOOD.

YOUR DAD?

AMONG OTHER THINGS.

IS HE EVER GOING TO GET
OFF YOUR CASE ABOUT THAT?

I WISH HE'D
EVEN BE ON MY CASE.

IT'S JUST BEEN THE SILENT
TREATMENT,

BIG SHOUTING MATCHES.

HE'LL GET OVER IT.

HE'LL UNDERSTAND SOMEDAY.

I DON'T THINK
HE'LL EVER UNDERSTAND.

JUST A LITTLE BIT AGO, HE
THREW ME DOWN IN THE HAY.

WHAT DID I DO?

WELL, AT LEAST KNOW
THAT I UNDERSTAND.

THANKS, JASON.

SO, WHAT MADE YOU FINALLY
DECIDE TO POP THE QUESTION?

I DON'T KNOW.

WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER FIVE
YEARS, I LOVE HER,

SHE LOVES ME.

IT WAS JUST TIME.

WE WERE ALL WONDERING IF
YOU WERE EVER GOING TO DO IT.

SPEAKING OF THAT, MAN, CAN
I TALK TO FOR A SECOND ALONE?

YEAH, SURE. WHAT'S UP?

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

MARTY TOLD ME HE SAW YOU
GOING DOWN TO THE RIVER.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

NOTHING.

JUST WANTED TO HANG
OUT DOWN THERE.

I KNOW YOU, I KNOW
WHY YOU GO DOWN THERE.

YOU WENT DOWN THERE
AFTER YOUR MOM DIED.

YOU WENT DOWN
THEREAFTER THAT WRECK.

ACTUALLY I LIMPED DOWN
THERE EVERY NIGHT

AFTER THE WRECK.

ARE YOU DRINKING AGAIN?

MAN, WHY WOULD
YOU ASK ME THAT?

BECAUSE YOU'RE
MY BEST FRIEND.

WE'VE BEEN BEST FRIENDS SINCE
WE WERE FIVE YEARS OLD.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

YOU'RE LEAVING TOMORROW.

I'M SUPPOSED TO
BE GOING WITH YOU.

THAT STUPID CAR ACCIDENT
KEPT ME FROM GOING WITH YOU.

IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU
START DRINKING AGAIN.

I NEVER STOPPED, AARON.

I JUST LEARNED TO
HIDE IT BETTER.

SO YOU'VE
BEEN LYING TO ME?

YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH
GOING ON, AARON.

NOT SO MUCH THAT
I COULDN'T HELP.

LOOK, I'M BUMMED THAT I
COULDN'T SIGN ON WITH YOU.

WHO'S GOING TO WANT YOUR
BACK WHEN YOU'RE OVER THERE.

I'M FINE, I'LL BE FINE.

I'M MORE WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

IT'S NOTHING I CAN'T
CONTROL, ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID
LAST TIME, AND YOU GOT IN

THAT STUPID ACCIDENT.

LOOK, I'LL
MAKE YOU A DEAL.

YOU COME HOME SAFE AND SOUND,
AND I'LL QUIT DRINKING, OKAY?

JUST PROMISE ME YOU'LL
KEEP IT UNDER CONTROL.

I WANT YOU HERE
WHEN I GET BACK.

I PROMISE.

WILL YOU TWO KNOCK OFF THE
BRO-MANCE AND GET OVER HERE?

YEAH, WE BETTER
GO, COME ON.

I'M SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GOING SAY?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

MY MOM'S BEEN LOOKING FOR ME
TO MARRY YOU FOR THE LAST TWO

YEARS, SINCE WE GRADUATED.

AND YOUR DAD?

I DON'T KNOW.

HE DOESN'T TALK TO
ME MUCH ANYMORE.

IN FACT, HE PROBABLY WON'T
EVEN STICK AROUND LONG

ENOUGH FOR US TO TELL.

HE'S GOING TO HAVE
TO DEAL WITH THIS.

YOU TELL HIM THAT.

WELL, ARE YOU READY?

AS READY AS I CAN BE.

LET'S GO.

[DOG BARKS]

WELL, THERE THEY ARE.

WHAT ARE YOU TWO KIDS UP TO?

WELL, MA, DAD, WE GOT
SOMETHING TO TELL YOU.

OH, WHAT'S THAT?

WELL, I ASKED MAGGIE TO
MARRY ME, AND MAMA,

SHE SAID YES.

OH, MY GOSH, I'M SO HAPPY!

THAT'S WONDERFUL NEWS,
WELCOME TO THE FAMILY, DEAR!

THANK YOU.

DID YOU HEAR THAT DAD?

ME AND MAGGIE ARE
GETTING MARRIED?

ISN'T THAT
GREAT NEWS, LARRY?

MA?

GO TALK TO HIM, DEAR.

BUT...

NO BUTS.

YOU TWO HAVE TO PUT AN
END TO THIS THING NOW.

BESIDES, ME AND MAGGIE HAVE
WEDDING PLANS TO TALK ABOUT.

IT'S OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

I TRY ONE MORE TIME.

SO WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS OF WHAT
YOU WANT FOR THE WEDDING?

MAKE ANY HEAD ROOM ON IT?

DO YOU REALLY THINK
MARRYING THAT GIRL

IS THE ANSWER?

WHAT?

YOU THINK IT WAS A GOOD
IDEA TO ASK HER RIGHT BEFORE

YOU GO OFF?

I LOVE HER, POP.

THAT'S NOT WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT.

WELL, WHAT ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT ANYMORE.

YOU'RE GETTING READY TO
GO OFF INTO GOD KNOWS WHAT,

AND YOU'RE GOING TO LEAVE
THAT LITTLE GIRL

HERE HANGING BY A THREAD.

SHE KNOWS WHERE
I'M GOING, POP.

WE TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS.

WHAT'S THAT
SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

IT MEANS EXACTLY
WHAT I SAID, POP.

WE ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT THIS;
THE WAR, WE TALK

ABOUT OUR FUTURE.

WE ACTUALLY TALK,
UNLIKE ME AND YOU.

WE DON'T TALK ABOUT
NOTHING, EVER.

ANY TIME I TRY TO TALK TO
YOU, YOU JUST TUNE ME ON OUT.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

YOU KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

YOU THINK I'M SELFISH.

YOU EVEN SAID IT YOURSELF,
YOU THINK I'M SELFISH.

YOU THINK I'M
ABANDONING THE FAMILY.

I'M NOT ABANDONING
THE FAMILY.

IF ANYONE'S SELFISH AROUND
HERE, DAD, IT'S YOU.

HOW DARE YOU!

NO, YOU LET ME FINISH.

YOU NEVER LET ME FINISH!

YOU THINK I'M NOT SCARED?

YOU THINK I'M NOT TERRIFIED
OF WHAT I'M GOING SEE, OF

WHAT I'M GETTING
INTO OVER THERE?

POP, I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO
SUPPORT THIS DECISION WHEN I

SIGNED UP, BUT I AM ASKING
YOU TO AT LEAST SUPPORT ME.

I NEED SOMETHING FROM YOU,
AND WHAT I NEED IS...

IS WHAT!

IS YOU! I JUST NEED YOU.

JUST LIE TO ME AND TELL
ME IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY.

YOU'RE MY FATHER, I
NEED MY POP RIGHT NOW.

AARON, I...

I KNOW YOU'RE NOT GOOD
WITH SHOWING YOUR EMOTIONS.

I'VE BEEN KNOWING THAT FOR
YEARS, BUT MAYBE, MAYBE JUST

THIS ONCE YOU COULD TELL
ME IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY.

MAYBE, MAYBE JUST THIS
ONCE YOU COULD BE MY DAD.

[CRYING]

AARON, YOU THINK
YOU'RE SCARED?

I KNOW.

I'M SCARED, TOO.

I WATCHED YOUR UNCLES GO OFF
TO VIETNAM, AND I NEVER

SAW THEM COME HOME.

I LIVED WITH YOUR GRANDMA AND
YOUR GRANDPA IN THAT GREAT

BIG OLD HOUSE.

IT NEVER REALLY WAS
A HOME AFTER THAT.

YOUR GRANDMA
COULDN'T BEAR IT.

SHE STARTED TO GO
MAD AFTER THAT.

YOUR GRANDFATHER, HE WOULDN'T
TALK ABOUT IT, NOT EVEN

AT THE FUNERAL.

HE DIDN'T SAY A WORD,
HE DIDN'T SHED A TEAR.

WHEN YOU TOLD US THAT YOU
SIGNED UP, IT ALL COME

POPPING BACK IN MY MIND.

AARON, I DON'T KNOW IF
I CAN TAKE THAT AGAIN.

I KNOW I DON'T WANT TO PUT
YOUR MOM THROUGH WHAT I

WENT THROUGH BACK THEN.

NOT WITH MY OWN SON.

WHY DIDN'T YOU EVER TELL
ME ABOUT YOUR BROTHERS, DAD?

WELL, WE JUST DON'T TALK
ABOUT STUFF LIKE THAT.

WE JUST BOTTLE IT UP,
AND GO ON WITH OUR LIVES.

THIS ISN'T MY LIFE, POP.

THIS IS OUR LIVES.

MOM'S BEEN GREAT, BUT I NEED
MY POP, ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW.

YOU KNOW, AARON,
WHEN YOUR UNCLES DIED,

IT WAS LIKE A LITTLE PART
OF ME DIED ALONG WITH THEM.

AND I DON'T KNOW HOW
BIG A PART OF ME

WOULD DIE IF ANYTHING...

DAD, DAD, NO, NO. DON'T
YOU THINK ABOUT THAT.

NO. DAD, YOU'VE GOT A
DAUGHTER INSIDE.

I'M GETTING MARRIED, POP.

I GOT MAGGIE. I GOT YOU.
I GOT MOM.

I'VE GOT SO MUCH RIDING ON
THIS TO COME HOME TO, POP.

POP, POP, I AM COMING HOME.

JUST FOR TONIGHT, LET'S NOT
THINK ABOUT ANY OF THAT,

OKAY?

JUST TONIGHT,
COME ON TONIGHT,

LET'S JUST GO IN AND
BE WITH FAMILY.

YOU GOT IT, SON.
ALL RIGHT NOW.

LET'S GO ON IN THERE
SO I CAN GIVE MY FUTURE

DAUGHTER-IN-LAW A HUG
AND HELP WELCOME HER

TO OUR SOMEWHAT
DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY.

GOOD.

SO DID THEY
ALL SEE YOU OFF?

YEAH.

MA, PA, JASON, ERICA,
MAGGIE'S FOLKS.

EVEN HER BROTHER SHOWED UP.

AND MAGGIE KEPT IT
TOGETHER PRETTY GOOD.

SHE SOUNDS LIKE AN
AMAZING GIRL, PRIVATE.

THANKS.

YEP.

YOU FIND SOMEONE LIKE THAT,
YOU HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE.

THAT'S MY FAMILY.

MY WIFE JENNIFER AND MY KIDS.

LIZ AND MIKEY.

HOW OLD ARE THEY?

MIKEY'S 9. LIZ IS 5.

IT'S A NICE
LOOKING FAMILY.

THEY'RE THE BEST.

I'VE GOT A HOUSE IN
EVANSVILLE, INDIANA.

BIG HOUSE WITH A LAKE POND.

JENNIFER KEEPS IT CLEAN.

YOU'D THINK WE WERE HAVING
THE PRESIDENT OVER EVERY DAY

AS CLEAN AS SHE
KEPT THAT HOUSE.

♪ [MUSIC]

SOMETHING TOLD ME YOU
WERE THE ONE COMING IN.

WHY SHOULD TODAY BE ANY
DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER DAY?

HEY, PASTOR. MORNING.

I JUST FIGURE AS MUCH AS HE'S
GIVEN ME, THE LEAST I CAN DO

IS TAKE A FEW MINUTES OUT
OF EACH DAY AND SAY THANKS.

YEAH.

HOW ARE JENNIFER
AND THE KIDS?

THEY'RE HANGING IN THERE,
CONSIDERING I'M, UH,

HEADING OUT TOMORROW.

YEAH. I WAS A LITTLE
SURPRISED THEY CALLED

THE RESERVES THOUGH.

WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP?

I THINK WE HAVE EVERYTHING
UNDER CONTROL, PASTOR.

MAYBE YOU COULD POP IN
AND CHECK ON EVERYONE

FROM TIME TO TIME, JUST
UNTIL I GET BACK.

I'D BE HAPPY TO.

MAYBE A PRAYER EVERY NOW
AND THEN TOO MIGHT NOT HURT.

CERTAINLY.

PASTOR, CAN...

CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?

SURE.

I KNOW IT SAYS IN THE
BIBLE THOU SHALL NOT KILL.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IN WAR?

STEPHEN, THAT'S A
QUESTION THAT'S BEEN

DEBATED A LONG TIME.

ALL I CAN REALLY DO IS
GIVE YOU MY OPINION.

THAT'D BE A START.

WHILE THE BIBLE CLEARLY
SAYS TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK,

HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN AND
HE WHO LIVES BY THE SWORD.

I GUESS WE SHOULD ALSO
RECOGNIZE THAT THERE'S

NOTHING THAT CONDEMNS THE
LEGITIMATE DEFENSE OF ONE'S

HOUSEHOLD AND PROPERTY.

IN A REAL SENSE, JESUS' USE
OF THE WHIP WITH THE MONEY

LENDERS IN THE TEMPLE COULD
BE SEEN AS AN EXPRESSION THAT

SOMETIMES VIOLENCE IS NOT
ONLY JUSTIFIED BUT NECESSARY.

I MEAN, JESUS ALWAYS
DID THE BEST THING,

OVERTURNING THE TABLES AND
MAKING THE WHIP, RIGHT?

SO I GUESS IT WOULD STAND
TO REASON THAT, WELL,

THAT MUST HAVE BEEN THE
BEST THING. UNDERSTAND?

SORT OF.

SEE, GOD CALLS US TO
PROTECT OURSELVES

BUT ALSO TO DEFEND OTHERS,

ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO
CAN'T DEFEND THEMSELVES.

I GUESS THAT MAKES SENSE.

LOOK, STEPHEN, EVERYBODY
KNOWS YOU'VE GOT A

JOB TO DO OVER THERE.
WHATEVER IT MAY BE.

BUT JUST KNOW
THAT YOUR FAMILY,

AS WELL AS YOUR
CHURCH FAMILY,

WILL BE HERE WAITING FOR
YOU WHEN YOU COME HOME.

YOU'RE HUMAN. HUMANS
MAKE MISTAKES.

BUT THROUGH GOD'S EYES,

THERE'S ALWAYS GRACE
AND FORGIVENESS.

DO YOUR DUTY. SERVE WELL.

TRUST THE LORD AND KNOW THAT
WE'LL BE PRAYING FOR YOU.

THANKS, PASTOR.
THAT MEANS A LOT.

LET'S PRAY TOGETHER.

LORD, WE ASK YOU TO KEEP YOUR
WATCHFUL EYE OVER STEPHEN

AND ALL THOSE WHO ARE
DEFENDING FREEDOM.

KEEP THEM IN YOUR LOVING
ARMS, AND BRING THEM HOME

SAFELY TO THOSE THAT LOVE THEM.

WE ASK FOR YOUR PROTECTION
AND YOUR WISDOM, LORD.

IN JESUS' NAME WE PRAY, AMEN.

AMEN.

THANKS, PASTOR. I PROBABLY
SHOULD GET HOME.

UNTIL I COME BACK.

GOD BLESS YOU, STEPHEN.

GOOD?

IT IS GOOD.

GOOD.

I NEED MORE TOAST.

YOU NEED MORE TOAST?

YOU'RE EATING LOTS
AND LOTS OF EGGS.

I DON'T NEED
ANY MORE TOAST.

YOU LOOK LIKE IT.

THERE ARE THE THREE
BEST LOOKING PEOPLE

I'VE SEEN ALL DAY.

IT'S ONLY 8:30
IN THE MORNING.

NO MATTER.

MORNING, DADDY.

MORNING, BABY.

HOW'D YOU SLEEP, CHAMP?

FINE, UNTIL SOMEONE CLOSED
MY DOOR THIS MORNING.

YEAH, SORRY ABOUT THAT.

SO, WHAT ARE
WE GONNA DO TODAY?

ANYTHING SPECIAL YOU
WANT TO DO DADDY?

HONESTLY, I WOULD LOVE
TO HANG AT HOME TODAY

AND HANG OUT WITH YOU GUYS.

OKAY, WELL YOUR MOM CALLED.

SHE WANTS US TO COME
TO DINNER TONIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, ALL I
WANT TO DO IS HANG OUT

WITH YOU GUYS UNTIL WE
GO TO GRANDMA'S HOUSE.

YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT
TO GO OUT AND DO SOMETHING?

NO, I JUST WANT TO
HANG WITH YOU GUYS TODAY.

OKAY. WELL, IT'S YOUR DAY.

WHATEVER YOU WANT.

SPEAKING OF WHAT YOU WANT,
WANT SOME BREAKFAST?

I'M NOT REALLY HUNGRY.
COFFEE'S FINE.

OKAY.

SO WHAT DO YOU
GUYS WANT TO DO TODAY?

WHATEVER.

I WANT TO MAKE YOU SOME
PICTURES TO TAKE WITH YOU

ON YOUR WORK TRIP.

HONEY, DADDY'S...

HONEY, THAT ACTUALLY
SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA.

WHAT ABOUT YOU CHAMP?

I SAID WHATEVER.
I DON'T CARE.

GIVE HIM A MINUTE.
HE'LL BE FINE.

HONEY, WHY DON'T YOU
FINISH UP AND GET DRESSED

S0 WE CAN WORK ON
THOSE PICTURES.

DONE!

HOW ABOUT IF WE
THROW A FEW, CHAMP?

COME ON, JUST A
COUPLE PASSES?

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME WE
CAME OUT HERE AND DID THIS.

YOU WERE FOUR, I THINK.

YOU WANTED A FOOTBALL
SO BAD FOR CHRISTMAS.

CHRISTMAS MORNING CAME, YOU
OPENED UP THE FOOTBALL,

YOU WERE SO EXCITED YOU
DIDN'T WANT TO OPEN UP

ANY OF YOUR OTHER GIFTS.

ALL YOU WANTED TO DO WAS COME
OUT HERE AND THROW THE BALL.

IT WAS FREEZING OUTSIDE BUT
YOU MADE ME COME OUT HERE

AND TOSS THE BALL WITH YOU.

YOU REMEMBER THAT?

NO.

WELL, I DO.
IT WAS A GREAT DAY.

SO YOU GONNA TRY OUT FOR
THE TEAM IN THE FALL?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU SHOULD, MIKEY.

YOU'RE GOOD.

I MEAN, YOU GOT TO
BULK UP A LITTLE BIT,

BUT I THINK YOU CAN DO IT.

MAYBE NOT QUARTERBACK.

DON'T.

GETTING TOO BIG TO
HUG YOUR OLD MAN, HUH?

WHY DO YOU
HAVE TO GO, DAD?

YEAH...

I GUESS WE HAVEN'T TALKED
ABOUT THAT MUCH

THESE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.

WHY CAN'T YOU
JUST STAY HOME?

BECAUSE I CAN'T, MIKEY.

I MADE A PROMISE WHEN
I JOINED THE RESERVES.

I PROMISED THAT IF THEY
EVER NEEDED ME, I'D GO.

WELL, THEY SAID THEY
NEED ME, SO I GOTTA GO.

BUT DIDN'T YOU MAKE A
PROMISE TO MOM AND TO US TOO?

YEAH. YEAH, I DID.

I PROMISED THAT I WOULD DO
EVERYTHING I COULD TO TAKE

CARE OF YOU TO KEEP YOU
GUYS SAFE AND IN A WAY,

THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING.

BUT HOW CAN YOU KEEP US
SAFE IF YOU'RE NOT HOME?

BECAUSE THE FIGHT'S
SOMEWHERE ELSE, MIKEY.

THERE ARE BAD PEOPLE TRYING
TO DO SOME BAD STUFF,

AND I GOTTA GO DO MY
PART TO HELP THEM.

WHY CAN'T
SOMEBODY ELSE DO IT?

THEY ARE. LOTS
OF PEOPLE ARE.

YOU KNOW, IT SAYS IN
THE BIBLE IN ACTS

"IT IS MORE BLESSED TO
GIVE THAN RECEIVE."

AND IN GALATIANS IT SAYS
"BEAR ONE ANOTHER'S BURDENS

AND SO FULFILL THE
LAW OF CHRIST."

THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE
OUT THERE THAT NEED HELP,

MIKEY, AND I HAVE TO DO
MY PART TO HELP THEM.

BUT CAN'T YOU HELP
PEOPLE AROUND HERE?

I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO
UNDERSTAND RIGHT NOW.

YOU'RE ONLY 10 YEARS OLD.

SOME DAY YOU'LL SEE.

YOU'LL HAVE A
FAMILY OF YOUR OWN,

AND I HOPE THAT YOU FEEL IF
THEY'RE EVER THREATENED THAT

YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING YOU
CAN TO KEEP THEM SAFE.

BUT WHAT IF YOU
DON'T COME BACK?

MIKEY, I'LL COME BACK.

IN THE MEANTIME, I NEED YOU
TO DO SOMETHING FOR ME.

WHAT?

I NEED YOU TO BE
THE MAN OF THE HOUSE.

I NEED YOU TO LOOK
AFTER YOUR MOM AND LIZ.

MAKE SURE THEY'RE SAFE HERE.

THINK YOU CAN DO THAT?

I'M JUST A KID, DAD.

BACK TO THE BIBLE AGAIN.

IT SAYS IN ISAIAH, "AND
A CHILD WILL LEAD THEM."

I THINK THEY WERE
TALKING ABOUT JESUS,

NOT A LITTLE KID
NAMED MIKEY HILL.

YEAH, YEAH YOU'RE PROBABLY
RIGHT, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOU'RE A TOUGH KID.

YOU'RE A STRONG KID, AND I
WOULDN'T ASK YOU TO DO THIS

IF I DIDN'T THINK
YOU COULD, MIKEY.

WHAT EXACTLY
DO I NEED TO DO?

JUST LOOK AFTER EVERYBODY.
HELP AROUND THE HOUSE.

YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT
YOU'RE GETTING UP FOR SCHOOL,

AND HELP LIZ GET READY TOO.

YOU NEED TO GO TO
CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY,

AND THE LITTLE THINGS
AROUND THE HOUSE THAT

YOUR MOM NEEDS,
JUST DO THEM, MIKEY.

DON'T MAKE HER ASK.

I THINK I CAN
DO THAT, DAD.

I KNOW YOU CAN.
AND THANK YOU.

I CAN WORRY A LITTLE
BIT LESS KNOWING THAT

THE FAMILY'S IN GOOD HANDS.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

IF YOU NEED ANYTHING,
PASTOR BOB AT THE CHURCH,

HE'S WILLING TO HELP OUT.

CAN WE THROW THE BALL
A LITTLE BIT MORE?

AS MUCH AS
YOU WANT, CHAMP.

- AND DAD?
- YEAH.

I THINK I WILL TRY OUT
TO THE TEAM NEXT YEAR.

I THINK YOU HANDLED
THAT PRETTY WELL.

YEAH.

HOW CAN YOU REALLY MAKE KIDS
UNDERSTAND WHAT WE DO HERE.

YOU CAN'T.

YOU JUST GOTTA SAY THE
THINGS THAT YOU SAID

AND HOPE THAT IT WORKS OUT.

PRAY THAT
EVERYTHING WORKS OUT.

WELL, IF THAT'S WHAT
YOU'RE INTO, I GUESS.

I'M GONNA MAKE YOU A MONKEY

BECAUSE YOU LOVE
MONKEYS SO MUCH.

I DO LOVE MONKEYS.

DO YOU LOVE CATS, DADDY?

I LOVE YOU.

DADDY, I'M NOT A CAT.

BUT YOU'RE MY
LITTLE KITTEN.

SO WHY YOU GOTTA GO
ON A WORK TRIP, DADDY?

WELL, THERE'S SOME PEOPLE
THAT ARE TRYING TO DO SOME

BAD THINGS AND I HAVE
TO GO TRY TO STOP THEM.

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO
DO WITH SELLING INSURANCE?

NOTHING, REALLY. IT'S
FOR DADDY'S OTHER JOB.

THE ONE WHERE YOU
WEAR THE HUNTING OUTFIT?

YEAH, HONEY. THE CAMOUFLAGE.

ARE THESE BAD PEOPLE
GONNA TRY TO HURT YOU?

HONEY, THAT ISN'T ANYTHING
I WANT YOU TO WORRY ABOUT.

WHAT IS IT, LIZ?

MADISON AND WILLIS AT
SCHOOL TOLD ME THAT YOU WERE

GONNA FIGHT IN THE WAR.
IS THAT TRUE, DADDY?

IS IT TRUE?

YEAH, HONEY.

IT'S NOT A WORK
TRIP LIKE YOU SAID.

NO, IT'S NOT A WORK TRIP.

I JUST DIDN'T WANT
YOU TO GET SCARED

ABOUT WHERE I WAS GOING.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO.
I WANT YOU TO STAY.

I KNOW, PRINCESS. I KNOW.

SO WILL YOU STAY
HOME AND NOT GO?

NO, HONEY. I HAVE TO GO.

BUT WHAT IF YOU
DON'T COME HOME?

WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS?

HONEY, I'M
GONNA COME HOME.

TOMMY MILLER'S OLDER
BROTHER WENT TO THE WAR

AND HE GOT KILLED, DADDY.

AND, YOU KNOW, I'M REAL
SAD FOR TOMMY MILLER

AND HIS PARENTS, BUT IT'S
JUST NOT GONNA HAPPEN TO ME.

I'M GONNA BE FINE.

BUT WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GO?

BECAUSE I CAN HELP.

REMEMBER THAT JESUS
WANTS US TO HELP OTHERS?

THIS IS HOW I CAN HELP.

THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE
THAT NEED HELP, HONEY.

AND THAT'S WHAT JESUS WANTS
YOU TO DO? HELP THEM?

YEAH. JESUS WANTS ALL OF US
TO HELP OTHERS, NOT JUST ME.

WE CAN ALL HELP
IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

CAN I HELP?

ABSOLUTELY.

THE BEST WAY YOU CAN HELP
PEOPLE RIGHT NOW

IS TO PRAY FOR THEM.

WHAT ABOUT YOU? CAN
I PRAY FOR YOU TOO?

YOU CAN ALWAYS
PRAY FOR ME, LIZ.

IN FACT, I'LL
MAKE YOU A DEAL.

EVERY NIGHT BEFORE
YOU GO TO BED,

AFTER YOU'RE DONE
SAYING YOUR PRAYERS,

I WANT YOU TO LOOK UP,

AND I WANT YOU TO TELL
ME ALL ABOUT YOUR DAY.

AND I PROMISE THAT I'LL LOOK
UP AND TELL YOU ALL ABOUT MY

DAY. THAT WAY IT WILL BE LIKE
WE'RE TALKING TO EACH OTHER.

BUT YOU'LL BE SO FAR AWAY.

YEAH, BUT IT WILL BE LIKE
I HAVE YOU RIGHT HERE TOO

BECAUSE I WILL.

HONEY, EVEN THOUGH
I'M SO FAR AWAY, YOU,

MIKEY AND YOUR MOM WILL ALWAYS
BE IN MY THOUGHTS AND IN MY

HEART AND IN MY PRAYERS.

AND I WILL ALWAYS BE IN
YOUR HEART, IN YOUR MIND,

AND YOU CAN ALWAYS KEEP
ME IN YOUR PRAYERS.

I'M GONNA, DADDY.

THANK YOU.

DADDY, CAN I ASK
YOU SOMETHING ELSE?

ANYTHING, PRINCESS.

IS JESUS GONNA MAKE
SURE THAT YOU COME HOME?

HONEY, I CAN'T
PROMISE YOU THAT.

BUT WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS
THAT GOD IS ALWAYS

WATCHING OVER US. HE NEVER
LEAVES OUR SIDE.

WELL, IF THAT'S TRUE,
WOULDN'T HE PROTECT YOU?

I MEAN, IF HE'S RIGHT BY YOU,

HE SHOULD BE ABLE
TO PROTECT YOU.

YOU KNOW WHAT I BELIEVE?

I BELIEVE THAT GOD
HAS THIS HUGE BOOK,

AND IN THIS BOOK IS
EVERYONE'S LIVES.

HE KNOWS WHAT'S GONNA
HAPPEN, EVEN BEFORE WE DO.

HUH?

YOU SEE, GOD KNEW THAT I
WAS GONNA HAVE TO GO OVER AND

FIGHT EVEN BEFORE I DID.

HE KNOWS WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN
TO YOU, TO MOM, TO MIKEY,

EVEN BEFORE WE DO.

IT'S ALL PART OF HIS PLAN.

SO IF I PRAY, WILL HE
TELL ME WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN?

WELL, LIZ, THAT'S NOT
REALLY HOW IT WORKS.

SEE, WE PRAY TO GOD BECAUSE
WE WANT TO SHOW HIM THAT

WE BELIEVE IN HIM, AND
IN BELIEVING IN HIM

THAT WE TRUST HIM.

WE HAVE TO TRUST THAT
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS,

IT'S ALL PART OF HIS PLAN.

DO YOU THINK IT'S PART OF
GOD'S PLAN THAT I MARRY TOMMY

MILLER? BECAUSE HE SAYS
THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU
DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT

FOR A LONG TIME, AND I AM
NOT GONNA WORRY ABOUT THAT

FOR A LONG TIME.

HOW ARE THEY COMING?

SHE HAD ME BEAT BY A MILE.
SHE'S QUITE THE ARTIST.

SEE MOMMY?

WOW, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL!

DADDY CAN'T EVEN
STAY IN THE LINES.

HEY!

HAY IS FOR HORSES.

BY THE WAY,
YOUR MOM CALLED.

SHE SAID SHE'S HAVING SOME
SMALL PROBLEM WITH HER OVEN.

I BETTER GET OVER THERE.

NO. SHE INSISTED
THAT YOU STAY HERE.

SHE'S GONNA HAVE A NEIGHBOR
LOOK AT IT IN A LITTLE BIT.

THAT'S RUDE.

SHE SAYS IT'S YOUR
LAST DAY AT HOME,

SO SHE DOESN'T WANT YOU
WORRYING ABOUT SOMETHING

AS SILLY AS HER STOVE.

WELL, IT GIVES ME MORE TIME
FOR COLORING LESSONS ANYWAY.

YEAH.

I ALSO TOLD HER WE'RE GONNA
BRING DINNER HERE INSTEAD,

SO SHE'S BRINGING WHATEVER
SHE WAS GOING TO MAKE.

JUST PRETEND TO LIKE IT.

I ALWAYS DO.

YOU LIKE GRANDMA'S
COOKING, DON'T YOU?

NOT REALLY,
BUT THAT'S OKAY.

I WON'T TELL HER.

I NEVER WOULD
HAVE GUESSED.

GRANDMA!

THERE SHE IS.

HOW'S MY PRINCESS ELIZABETH?

GOOD! DO YOU WANT TO
SEE THE PICTURES THAT

ME AND DADDY MADE TODAY?

I SURE DO. BUT IN
A FEW MINUTES.

WHERE'S YOUR BROTHER?

HI, GRANDMA.

WELL, ARE YOU
TOO OLD FOR HUGS?

I KNOW, I KNOW, I SMELL
LIKE AN OLD LADY.[LAUGHING]

HI, MOM. HERE, LET
ME TAKE THAT.

NO. NO, NO, NO. JUST
BECAUSE IT'S YOUR HOUSE

DOESN'T MEAN IT'S
NOT MY DINNER.

MOM, WHAT'S WRONG
WITH YOUR STOVE?

NOTHING I'M SURE YOUR
FATHER COULDN'T HAVE FIXED.

IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

I'LL GET SOMEONE TO
LOOK AT IT TOMORROW.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT IT.

MOM, YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE
TO MAKE DINNER TONIGHT, OKAY?

WHY DON'T WE JUST GO OUT?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

THIS IS GOING TO BE YOUR
LAST HOMEMADE MEAL,

AND I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE
MY HOMEMADE PASTA SAUCE.

AND BESIDES, LAST NIGHT I
DID MOST OF THE COOKING,

SO ALL I HAVE TO DO IS
BOIL UP SOME NOODLES

AND HEAT UP THE PASTA SAUCE.

- JENNIFER, DEAR?
- YES.

WILL YOU TAKE THE GARLIC
BREAD AND PUT IT IN?

SURE, MOM.

AND TRY TO
KEEP AN EYE ON IT.

TRY NOT TO BURN IT THIS TIME.

I HAVE TO GO WASH MY HANDS.

YOU'RE GOING TO
LEAVE ME ALONE WITH HER?

JUST TILL I GET BACK.

DON'T BURN THE GARLIC
BREAD. YOU'LL BE FINE.

- MAY I BE EXCUSED?
- ME TOO.

YOU HARDLY ATE
ANYTHING AT ALL.

NOTHING BUT THE GARLIC BREAD.

THAT'S OKAY. THEY HAD A
BIG LUNCH. GO AHEAD.

YOU HAVEN'T HAD
MUCH YOURSELF, JEN.

YOU HAD A BIG LUNCH TOO?

YEAH, AND I'M TRYING
TO CUT DOWN ON PORTIONS.

YEAH, BUT SHE
DID A FABULOUS JOB.

WAIT, JEN.

I HAVE SOMETHING I WANT TO
TALK TO YOU BOTH ABOUT.

WHAT IS IT? IS
EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

IT'S OKAY.
EVERYTHING'S FINE.

WHAT IS THIS?

OPEN IT.

MOM, WHAT'S
THIS ALL ABOUT?

IT'S YOUR FATHER'S
MILITARY PENSION.

WE CAN'T ACCEPT
THIS, CAROL.

OH, YOU CAN AND YOU WILL.

I WANT YOU TO START A COLLEGE
FUND FOR BOTH LIZ AND MIKEY.

MOM, THIS IS YOUR MONEY.

NOT ANYMORE, IT'S NOT.

THIS IS A LOT OF MONEY.

WELL, I GAVE 10 PERCENT OF
IT AT THE CHURCH AS A TITHE,

AND I'M GIVING YOU THE REST.

WHY?

I DON'T NEED IT ANYMORE.

YOUR FATHER AND I PUT BACK
MONEY ALL OUR LIVES UNTIL HE

PASSED. I HAVE ENOUGH MONEY
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

YOU TWO NEED IT
MORE THAN I DO.

STEPHEN, YOU'RE GOING OVER
THERE AND YOU'RE LEAVING

TOMORROW, AND ONLY THE LORD
KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN

TO THIS FAMILY.

AND IF, AND I MEAN IF
SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN,

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
KIDS HAVE THEIR EDUCATIONS

PAID, THEY GET A CHANCE
TO GO TO COLLEGE.

I ASKED GOD TO TELL ME
WHAT TO DO TO HELP YOU,

AND HE TOLD ME
TO GIVE YOU THIS.

CAROL...

I'M NOT TAKING THIS BACK.
THIS IS FOR THOSE KIDS.

STEPHEN, WHEN YOU GET BACK,
YOU CAN ADD YOUR OWN PENSION

TO THIS AND THERE WILL BE
ENOUGH FOR THEIR EDUCATION.

NOW JEN, YOU KNOW THINGS
ARE GONNA GET TOUGH,

I HAVE TO TELL YOU.

THEY'RE GONNA
GET REALLY TOUGH.

FOR ALL THE INTENTS
AND PURPOSES,

YOU'RE GOING TO BE
A SINGLE MOTHER,

AND YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE
TO BE WILLING TO LEARN

TO ACCEPT HELP FROM
PEOPLE AROUND YOU.

THIS IS AN AMAZING FAMILY AND
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE

READY TO HELP YOU.

I PROMISE, MOM.

GOOD. YOU CAN'T DO
EVERYTHING YOURSELF

AND YOU DON'T NEED TO.

NOW STEPHEN, YOU HAVE
ONE JOB AND ONE JOB ONLY,

AND THAT IS TO COME BACK TO
THIS BEAUTIFUL AMAZING WIFE

AND THOSE TWO GREAT KIDS.

YOUR FATHER CALLED ME A
FEW DAYS BEFORE HE DIED.

HE TOLD ME A STORY ABOUT
ONE NIGHT WHEN HE WAS IN A

BUNKER, AND HE COULD HEAR
THE SHELLS GOING OFF IN THE

DISTANCE, AND HE CLOSED HIS
EYES AND HE IMAGINED THAT IT

WAS A SPRING THUNDER STORM
LIKE WE HAVE AROUND HERE.

AND HE SAID FOR A LITTLE
MORE THAN A MINUTE,

HE FELT LIKE HE WAS HOME.

YOU NEED TO HOLD THOSE
THINGS WHEN YOU GO THERE.

YOU NEED TO FIND A PLACE IN
YOUR HEART YOU CAN ESCAPE TO

WHEN YOU NEED TO.

YOU NEED TO REMEMBER TO PRAY,
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE IN A

GOD FORSAKEN PLACE, WORSE
THAN YOU EVER COULD THINK OF.

REMEMBER TO PRAY.
YOU ARE NEVER ALONE.

THERE'S SOMEONE
WALKING ALONGSIDE YOU.

GOD.

ALWAYS REMEMBER
THAT, STEPHEN.

MOMMY!

I'M COMING, HONEY.

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, MOM.
NOT JUST THE MONEY.

YOU'RE WELCOME, HONEY.

JUST REMEMBER IF YOU
NEED ANYTHING, JUST CALL.

MOM...

I HAVE ONE MORE
THING TO GIVE YOU.

YOU DON'T NEED TO
GIVE ME ANYTHING ELSE.

IT WAS YOUR FATHER'S.

IT WAS GIVEN TO HIM BY
HIS FATHER WHO HAD IT

IN WORLD WAR II.

AND YOUR GREAT GRANDPA
HAD IT IN WORLD WAR I.

- IT'S A BIBLE.
- YES.

SOLDIERS USED TO CARRY THESE
LITTLE BIBLES INTO COMBAT.

THEY USED TO READ IT IN THEIR
BUNKS JUST TO PASS THE TIME

AND SOMETIMES TO
GET THE ANSWERS.

STEPHEN, YOU'RE GONNA BE
LOOKING FOR ANSWERS

WHEN YOU'RE THERE.

YOU'RE GOING TO FIND
THEM RIGHT THERE.

WHAT'S THIS INSCRIPTION?

THE GREATEST HOPE
FOR SAFETY...

...IS IN THE
LOVING ARMS OF GOD.

YOUR GREAT GRANDFATHER WROTE
THAT FOR YOUR GRANDFATHER.

ALWAYS REMEMBER
THAT, STEPHEN.

I WILL, MOM. I PROMISE.

YOU REALLY
BELIEVE THAT STUFF?

WHAT STUFF?

THAT GOD STUFF.

THAT STUFF ABOUT
BEING PROTECTED.

YEAH. YEAH, I DO.

ME TOO.

I DON'T KNOW.

I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT A
LOVING AND PROTECTIVE GOD

WOULD PUT SOMEBODY LIKE
YOU IN A PLACE LIKE THIS.

WHAT ARE YOU
THINKING ABOUT?

I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT
EVERYTHING THIS LITTLE

BIBLE'S BEEN THROUGH.

I MEAN, THIS WILL BE
THE FOURTH WAR FOR IT.

MOM SCARE YOU TONIGHT?

I DON'T KNOW.
I GUESS A LITTLE.

BUT I GET WHAT SHE'S SAYING.

I DON'T THINK SHE WAS
TRYING TO SCARE YOU.

I KNOW. I KNOW.

BUT SHE MADE SOME
GREAT POINTS.

IT'S LIKE SHE WAS
RIGHT INSIDE MY MIND.

WELL, SHE WENT THROUGH
THIS WITH MY DAD, SO.

PROMISE ME THIS ISN'T
GONNA END UP THE SAME WAY.

HONEY, YOU KNOW I
CAN'T MAKE THAT PROMISE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
GONNA HAPPEN OVER THERE.

WHAT I CAN PROMISE YOU IS I'M
GONNA DO EVERYTHING I CAN,

EVERYTHING WITHIN MY POWER TO
COME HOME SAFE AND SOUND

TO THIS FAMILY. BUT IF
SOMETHING HAPPENS...

I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK
ABOUT THAT, STEPHEN.

HONEY, I KNOW YOU DON'T
WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS

BUT WE HAVE TO.

I MEAN, WE GOTTA HAVE A
PLAN FOR YOU AND THE KIDS.

LOOK, WE'VE BEEN REALLY
BLESSED OVER THE YEARS.

GOD'S REALLY TAKEN CARE OF US.

I MEAN, THE HOUSE IS
PAID OFF. THE CARS.

BETWEEN MY SAVINGS AND THE
PENSION AND THE MONEY MOM GAVE

US FOR THE KIDS COLLEGE, THE
KIDS ARE GOING TO BE FINE.

WE WILL NOT
BE FINE, STEVEN.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT.

LOOK, I KNOW WE TALKED
ABOUT THIS WHEN YOU SIGNED ON

WITH THE RESERVES A LITTLE,
BUT NOW IT'S HAPPENING

AND I'M TERRIFIED.

I'M TERRIFIED THAT YOU
WILL NOT COME HOME.

I AM TERRIFIED THAT THE KIDS
WILL HAVE TO GROW UP

WITHOUT A DAD.

AND I'M TERRIFIED THAT ALL OF
OUR PLANS FOR OUR FUTURE

WILL BE GONE.

HONEY, HONEY, HONEY.

NONE OF THAT IS
GOING TO HAPPEN.

WE'VE DREAMED TOGETHER.

WE'VE BUILT A LIFE TOGETHER.

I PROMISE YOU I'M GOING TO DO
EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO COME

HOME AND LIVE THOSE DREAMS.

I DON'T WANT TO
LOSE YOU, STEVEN.

AND YOU WON'T.

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE
IN YOUR HEART.

PRAY WITH ME, JENNIFER.

DEAR LORD, GIVE MY FAMILY THE
STRENGTH TO ENDURE ME LEAVING

FOR THIS DEPLOYMENT.

PLEASE WATCH OVER THEM.

MAKE SURE THEY'RE SAFE.

LORD, PLEASE GIVE ME THE
STRENGTH TO ENDURE WHATEVER

THINGS I MIGHT FACE.

PLEASE WATCH OVER ME AND BRING
ME HOME SAFE TO THIS FAMILY.

AMEN.

[MUSIC]

LEAVE THE KID ALONE!

AH!

[MUSIC]

[CRYING]

SHOW YOURSELF, GOD.

HELP US IN OUR HOUR OF NEED.

[MUSIC]

THE GREATEST HOPE OF SAFETY
IS IN THE LOVING ARMS OF GOD.

INSTEAD OF ARLINGTON.

IT'S OK, I GUESS.

SHIPPING OUT AGAIN TOMORROW.

IT'S MY FIFTH TOUR.

LOOK, I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T BEEN
BY TO SEE YOU IN A WHILE.

A LOT OF THINGS HAVE BEEN
GOING ON THESE PAST FEW YEARS.

CHELSEA AND I SPLIT UP.

CAN'T SAY I BLAME HER THOUGH.

I'VE PUT HER AND
LOUIS THROUGH A LOT.

A LOT.

SHE GOT REMARRIED
ABOUT A YEAR AGO.

HE SEEMS LIKE A
GOOD GUY, I GUESS.

I SURE DO MISS
HER THOUGH, DAD.

LISTEN, I GOTTA GO.

I'VE GOT SOME THINGS TO DO.

I'LL COME BACK AND SEE
YOU WHEN I GET HOME.

SEE YA, DAD.

[MUSIC]

[SCREEN DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE, BRIAN?

YOU CAN'T JUST SHOW
UP LIKE THIS.

YOU KNOW THAT.

HEY, CHELS.

YOU LOOK GOOD.

WHAT DO YOU WANT, BRIAN?

I'M SHIPPING OUT TOMORROW
AND I'D LIKE TO SEE LOUIS FOR

A FEW MINUTES.

SHIPPING OUT AGAIN.

DOESN'T SURPRISE ME.

LOOK, BRIAN, YOU
MADE YOUR CHOICES.

YOU DECIDED THAT THAT
UNIFORM IS MORE IMPORTANT TO

YOU THAN WE ARE, AND I'M NOT
GOING TO LET HIM GET IN THE

MIDDLE OF THIS AGAIN.

HE'S DOING JUST FINE.

WE'RE DOING JUST FINE.

HONEY, THIS
IS THE LAST TIME.

I JUST WANT TO SAY GOODBYE.

STOP CALLING ME THAT.

YEAH, I'M SURE IT'S
THE LAST TIME, BRIAN.

I'VE HEARD THAT BEFORE.

LOUIS HAS HEARD THAT BEFORE.

I'VE TOLD YOU A HUNDRED
TIMES THAT I AM SORRY.

I'M SORRY FOR HURTING YOU.

I'M SORRY FOR HURTING LOUIS.

I'M SORRY...

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR
IT ANYMORE, BRIAN.

PLEASE, CHELSEA.

JUST A FEW MINUTES.

THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.

IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT WHAT YOU
WANT, ISN'T IT, BRIAN?

WHAT ABOUT WHAT I WANT?

WHAT ABOUT WHAT HE WANTS?

HE WANTED A FATHER THAT WAS
GOING TO BE HOME FOR HIM, AND

I WANTED A HUSBAND THAT ...I
DIDN'T HAVE TO STAY UP AT

NIGHT AND WONDER WHETHER OR
NOT HE WAS ALIVE, A HUSBAND

THAT I GOT TO MORE THAN ONCE
A MONTH, SOMEONE THAT WASN'T

GONE FOR MONTHS,
EVEN YEARS AT A TIME.

THAT'S WHAT I WANTED, BRIAN.

PLEASE, CHELSEA.

JUST A FEW MINUTES.

I'VE WASTED TOO MANY
TEARS ON YOU ALREADY.

YOU CAN HAVE A COUPLE OF
MINUTES BUT THEN I WANT YOU

OUT OF HERE.

I DON'T WANT HIM ANY MORE
CONFUSED THAN HE ALREADY IS.

YOUR DAD'S HERE.

MOM...

JUST LET HIM SAY WHATEVER HE
HAS TO SAY AND THEN HE'LL LEAVE.

[DOOR CREAKS OPEN
AND CLOSED ]

HEY, LOUIE.

I GO BY LOUIS NOW, DAD.

OH. SORRY.

SO I GUESS YOUR MOM MENTIONED
THAT I'M SHIPPING OUT

AGAIN TOMORROW.

YEAH.

LOOK, I MEANT TO CALL YOU
ON CHRISTMAS, BUT YOU KNOW HOW

IT IS.

TIME GOTTA WAY FROM ME
AND I JUST ...I --

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, DAD.

SO HOW'S MARK?

HE'S FINE, I GUESS.

IS HE TAKING GOOD
CARE OF YOU AND YOUR MOM?

YEAH, DAD.

HE'S FINE.

SO WHERE ARE YOU
GOING THIS TIME?

I DON'T KNOW YET.

I'LL FIND OUT MORE WHEN
I GET TO SOUTH CAROLINA.

I'M SURE IT'S NOT GOING TO BE
PARADISE, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE

A LOT WARMER THAN THIS PLACE.

I'VE GOT TO GO IN, DAD.

I HAVE A LOT OF
HOMEWORK TONIGHT.

RIGHT. OK.

GOTTA KEEP UP ON THE STUDIES.

I UNDERSTAND.

IT WAS GOOD TO SEE YOU.

LOUIE ...LOUIS, LISTEN, I
KNOW THINGS BETWEEN US HAVEN'T

BEEN THE GREATEST, BUT I
WANTED TO SAY...

SAY WHAT, DAD?

WELL, I WANTED TO TELL
YOU THAT...

I KNOW, DAD.

NO. NO, LOUIS,
YOU DON'T KNOW.

SEE, I HAVEN'T DONE A VERY
GOOD JOB OF SHOWING YOU OR

TELLING YOU THAT,
WELL, I LOVE YOU.

DAD, I...

NO. LISTEN, WHEN WE WERE
GROWING UP WE HARDLY EVER

SAID I LOVE YOU.

I MEAN, MY DAD, YOUR
GRANDPA HE NEVER SAID IT.

BUT HE NEVER HAD TO
BECAUSE WE ALWAYS KNEW IT.

BUT YOU DON'T KNOW IT BECAUSE
I HAVEN'T BEEN THERE FOR YOU

AND I HAVEN'T DONE A
GOOD JOB OF SHOWING YOU.

BUT LOUIS, I DO.

I LOVE YOU.

I KNOW, DAD.
I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN.

[SCREEN DOOR CREEKS
OPEN AND CLOSED]

[CARS RUSH BY]

[DOOR CLICKS CLOSED]

HEY, SERGE.

GARY.

USUAL?

YEAH.

GOTCHA.

YOU KNOW, HAVEN'T SEEN
CHELSEA IN A WHILE.

HOW'S EVERYTHING GOING?

DON'T ASK.

OH. OK.

HERE YOU GO, SERGE.

THANKS, GARY.

IS THAT A NICKNAME?

EXCUSE ME?

SERGE. IS THAT A NICKNAME?

NO.

I'M A SERGEANT IN
THE MARINE CORPS.

WELL, HOW DO YOU DO?

WHAT OUTFIT YOU WITH?

FIRST MARINE DIVISION.

HUH.

SEEN ANY ACTION?

YEAH.

MORE THAN I WANT TO REMEMBER.

I HEAR YOU.

I DID MY STRETCH IN VIETNAM.

I'M A MARINE, TOO.

YEAH.

YEAH.

AT LEAST I WAS UNTIL THEY
TOLD ME I HAD TO RETIRE.

YOU RETIRED?

NO.

I'M ACTUALLY SHIPPING OUT
TOMORROW FOR ANOTHER TOUR.

YOU GOTTA LOVE
THE LIFE, HUH?

DO WHAT?

THE LIFE.

BEING A MARINE.

YEAH.

I LOVED IT.

ALL I EVER WANTED TO DO WAS
TELL EVERYONE EVERYWHERE I

WENT I'M A UNITED
STATES MARINE.

PUT THE FEAR OF GOD
IN A LOT OF PEOPLE.

YOU FROM AROUND HERE?

YEAH, A FEW
BLOCKS DOWN OAK RIDGE.

NO KIDDING.

MY EX-WIFE LIVED ON OAK RIDGE.

[CHUCKLES]

UNTIL SHE GOT REMARRIED AND
MOVED TO BOSTON OR BALTIMORE

OR BERMUDA OR SOMEWHERE.

I CAN'T KEEP UP WITH
WHERE THEY WENT.

GOT ANY KIDS?

YEAH. A DAUGHTER.

SHE WENT WITH THEM
WHEN THEY MOVED.

MAN, SHE MUST BE
IN HER 40'S BY NOW.

WHERE DOES SHE LIVE?

NO IDEA.

DIDN'T SEE HER MUCH
AFTER THEY MOVED.

IN FACT, DIDN'T SEE HER
AT ALL AFTER THEY MOVED.

YEAH, THAT'S TOO BAD.

AH, NO BIG DEAL.

IF YOU ASK ME
EVERYTHING WENT FINE.

I LOVED BEING IN THE CORPS,
AND I WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING.

NOTHING AT ALL?

NOT ONE THING.

I MEAN, LOOK AT ME.

I'M AS HAPPY AS I'VE
EVER BEEN LIVING OFF THE

GOVERNMENT'S DIME.

WHAT COULD BE BETTER?

READY FOR
ANOTHER ONE, SERGE?

GIVE HIM ONE ON ME.

OR I GUESS I SHOULD
SAY ON UNCLE SAM.

[CHUCKLES]

SEMPER FI.

SEMPER FI.

AND THEN I GOT ON THE PLANE
AND I HEADED OUT THE NEXT DAY.

HEARD ANYTHING
FROM HIM, YOUR SON?

NO. I DON'T EVEN THINK
HE KNOWS WHERE I AM.

I SENT CHELSEA AN E-MAIL A
COUPLE WEEKS AFTER I GOT INTO

THE COUNTRY, BUT
SHE DIDN'T RESPOND.

SURELY SHE TOLD
HIM WHERE YOU WERE.

I WOULDN'T BET ON IT.

MAY I SPEAK FRANKLY?

SEE, SIR, WHATEVER HAPPENED
WITH YOU AND YOUR SON

GOD CAN FIX IT.

YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE
IN HIM AND THEN ASK.

HE'LL ...I CAN'T EVEN GET
MY BOY TO TALK TO ME MUCH LESS

TELL HIM THAT
...WELL, YOU KNOW.

I KNOW.

BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT IF
SOMEBODY WERE TO HAPPEN TO ME

HERE THAT MY WIFE AND KIDS
WOULD NEVER QUESTION WHETHER

OR NOT I LOVED THEM.

AND YOU'RE SAYING
THAT MY BOY WOULD?

I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING
OF THAT SORT, SIR.

ALL I'M SAYING IS MY
FAITH HAS KEPT ME STRONG.

IT'S MADE ME A BETTER SOLDIER,
BETTER HUSBAND, BETTER FATHER.

[RAIN PAT PATTERING]

CAN I ASK YOU
SOMETHING, SIR?

YEAH.

I'M PROUD OF WHAT
MY FAITH HAS MADE ME.

CAN YOU SAY YOU'RE PROUD OF,
YOU KNOW, WHAT YOUR LACK OF

FAITH HAS MADE YOU?

I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN.

LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO
LOSE BY BELIEVING?

IS IT SO HARD TO BELIEVE THAT
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE THAT

LOVES US UNCONDITIONALLY?

I MEAN, IS THAT
SUCH A BAD THING?

YOU KNOW, HILL, I GUESS I
CAN SAY THAT WITH EVERYTHING

THAT I'VE SEEN IN MY LIFE, I
FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT

THERE'S A GOD THAT LOVES US SO
MUCH BUT YET LET'S THINGS LIKE

THIS HAPPEN, LIKE THIS WAR,
LIKE THE WAR BEFORE THAT,

AND ALL THE OTHER
WARS BEFORE THAT.

SIR, GOD DOESN'T
MAKE THESE WARS HAPPEN.

PEOPLE DO.

WE DO.

SEE, GOD GIVES US THE FREE
WILL TO DO AS WE LIKE.

EVERYTHING THAT GOD MAKES
STARTS OUT PERFECT.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE DO THINGS
TO LEAD US OFF THAT,

TO LEAD US AWAY.

GOD DOESN'T MAKE
THESE WARS HAPPEN.

WE MAKE THESE WARS HAPPEN.

SIR, YOU STILL DIDN'T
ANSWER MY QUESTION.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO
LOSE BY BELIEVING?

I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO ANSWER THAT, HILL.

ALL OF MY LIFE I'VE
RELIED ON MYSELF.

THAT IS ALL I'VE EVER KNOWN.

I UNDERSTAND THAT, SIR, BUT
TELL ME, HOW HAS THAT WORKED

OUT FOR YOU SO FAR?

NOT SO WELL, I GUESS.

SIR, THERE ARE A LOT OF
PEOPLE THAT LAUGH AT FAITH.

BUT I GUARANTY YOU THAT EVERY
ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE SOMETIME

HAS FOUND THEMSELVES
SEARCHING, SEARCHING

FOR SOMETHING.

WHAT?

SOMETHING ...SOMETHING
TO BELIEVE IN.

SOMETHING THAT MAKES
SENSE OF EVERYTHING.

AND FAITH DOES THAT?

SOMETIMES.

SOMETIMES NOT.

BUT FAITH ALWAYS GIVES
US AN OUTLET TO ASK.

BELIEVING IN GOD MAKES US
KNOW THAT THERE'S ALWAYS

SOMEONE LISTENING.

GOD?

GOD.

SO LET ME ASK YOU AGAIN,
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE

BY BELIEVING?

[THUNDERING ROLES
IN THE DISTANCE]

I GUESS WHEN YOU HAVE
NOTHING, YOU HAVE NOTHING

TO LOSE.

SO MAYBE IT'S TIME THAT I
...[CELL DOOR CRASHES OPEN]

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK!

JUST ASK!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

YOU'LL BE ALL
RIGHT, SOLDIER.

JUST RELAX.

WHERE'S LIEUTENANT?

THEY JUST TOOK HIM OUT.

I DIDN'T TELL
THEM NOTHING, SIR. I SWEAR.

I KNOW YOU DIDN'T, PRIVATE.
JUST RELAX.

AH.

HOW LONG WAS I OUT?

I DON'T KNOW.

PROBABLY AN HOUR.

I WAS OUT THAT LONG?

YEAH.

BUT NOT AS LONG AS I HAVE.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT, SIR?

PRIVATE, CAN I
ASK YOU A QUESTION?

OF COURSE, SIR.

ARE YOU A BELIEVER?

A BELIEVER, SIR?

YEAH. A CHRISTIAN.

OH, YES SIR.

MA AND POP, THEY MADE SURE
THAT I WAS GOING TO SUNDAY

SCHOOL AND CHURCH EVERY WEEK.

I WAS SAVED WHEN I WAS NINE.

I HAVEN'T BELIEVED IN
ANYTHING FOR A LONG TIME.

NOW IS A GOOD
TIME TO START, SIR.

IF YOU WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN.

BUT PRIVATE, I'VE
DONE 5 TOURS OF DUTY.

I'VE DONE EVERYTHING IN MY
POWER TO KEEP MY TROOPS

AND MY FAMILY SAFE.

ISN'T THAT ENOUGH TO
GET ME INTO HEAVEN?

I DON'T KNOW, SIR.

NOT REALLY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
HEAVEN IS LIKE?

SIR?

HEAVEN.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IT'S LIKE?

I DON'T KNOW, SIR.

PROBABLY LIKE NO
PLACE I'VE EVER SEEN.

PROBABLY NO PAIN.

PROBABLY NO
SUFFERING, NO SADNESS.

I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, SIR,
ANYWHERE IS BETTER THAN HERE.

YEAH.

YOU'RE RIGHT, PRIVATE.

SIR?

SIR? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

NO, I'M NOT ALL RIGHT.

I'M AS FAR FROM ALL
RIGHT AS I CAN BE.

I ALREADY TOLD YOU, YOU'RE
NOT GOING TO GET ANYTHING

OUT OF ME.

WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO
EVERYTHING MYSELF

MY WHOLE LIFE.

I'VE MADE A MESS OF MY LIFE.

I LET SO MANY PEOPLE DOWN.

TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE.

JUST POINT TO THE MAP.

JUST DO IT AND ALL
OF THIS CAN STOP.

LIEUTENANT STEVEN HILL,
UNITED STATES...

[SLAP ACROSS HIS FACE]

GOD, IF YOU'RE LISTENING,
I'M SORRY FOR EVERYTHING I'VE

DONE IN MY LIFE.

I'VE SORRY FOR THE
MESS THAT I'VE MADE.

I'M SORRY FOR EVERYTHING
THAT I'VE DONE.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME.

[MUSIC]

ALL YOU HAVE
TO DO IS POINT.

JUST POINT A
FINGER ON THE MAP.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY A WORD.

JUST POINT.

THEN YOU CAN HAVE SOMETHING
TO EAT, SOME CLEAN CLOTHES,

A SHOWER.

LIEUTENANT STEVEN HILL.
UNITED...

HELP ME, GOD.

HELP ME FOR THE THINGS THAT
I'VE DONE WRONG IN MY LIFE.

I BELIEVE IN YOU.

I KNOW YOU CAN HELP ME.

PLEASE.

I NEED YOU IN MY LIFE.

[MUSIC]

GOD, PLEASE GIVE
ME THE STRENGTH.

YOU THINK YOUR
GOD CAN SAVE YOU?

NO ONE CAN SAVE
YOU EXCEPT YOU.

JUST POINT YOUR FINGER
AND YOU'LL BE SAVED.

I'M READY TO BE SAVED, GOD.

I'M READY TO ACCEPT JESUS.

PLEASE COME INTO MY HEART.

PLEASE.

THERE'S ONLY ONE
THAT CAN SAVE ME.

JESUS CHRIST.

I WILL MAKE
THIS VERY CLEAR.

YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO
CAN SAVE YOU RIGHT NOW.

JUST TELL US WHAT
WE WANT TO KNOW!

LORD, GIVE ME THE STRENGTH.

LIEUTENANT STEVEN HILL.
UNITED...

OH, THANK YOU, JESUS.
I CAN FEEL YOU.

I CAN... [GUNSHOT]

WHA...

[MUSIC]

SOMETIMES THINGS DON'T END
THE WAY WE EXPECT THEM TO.

WHY ME AND PRIVATE PHILLIPS
WERE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THERE

AND LIEUTENANT HILL DIDN'T,
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I'LL

NEVER BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND.

BUT I'VE REALIZED THAT WE CAN
NEVER FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT

GOD'S PLAN IS FOR US.

WE JUST HAVE TO TAKE THE LIFE
THAT'S GIVEN TO US AND MAKE

THE MOST OF IT.

BUT WHAT I HAVE COME TO
UNDERSTAND IN LIFE IT'S NOT

ALWAYS ABOUT THE THINGS
WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE

OR ACCOMPLISH.

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE STUFF
THAT WE WANT IN LIFE.

SOMETIMES IT'S ABOUT THE
THINGS WE LEAVE BEHIND.
