- Hey, this is Tom Brennan.
4
00:00:31,865 --> 00:00:34,033
I'm sorry I missed you,
but leave a message
5
00:00:34,033 --> 00:00:36,703
and I will call
you back. Thanks.
6
00:00:36,703 --> 00:00:39,789
Hey, Dad.
7
00:00:39,789 --> 00:00:42,751
It's Kylie. How did I know
you wouldn't pick up?
8
00:00:42,751 --> 00:00:46,212
Working out? Isn't it
a little early for that?
9
00:00:46,212 --> 00:00:49,048
Ah, warming up
with a morning jog,
10
00:00:49,048 --> 00:00:51,134
then exercises. You're
a better man than me.
11
00:00:51,134 --> 00:00:54,888
Uh, I was just calling
to see how you're settling in
12
00:00:54,888 --> 00:00:57,724
to the new place, because
I know how much you love change.
13
00:00:57,724 --> 00:01:00,727
Why not take a trip outside
of your comfort zone,
14
00:01:00,727 --> 00:01:04,147
like losing the barrack-chic
look on your new house?
15
00:01:04,147 --> 00:01:06,065
When I come to visit,
I want to see something
16
00:01:06,065 --> 00:01:09,569
a little more sentimental than
flags and medals on the walls.
17
00:01:09,569 --> 00:01:12,655
OK? Love you. Bye, Dad.
18
00:01:18,953 --> 00:01:21,247
- Hey, peanut.
19
00:01:21,247 --> 00:01:23,082
"Peanut"?
20
00:01:23,082 --> 00:01:26,252
Thought you were somebody else.
- That's Major General Peanut
21
00:01:26,252 --> 00:01:28,588
to you, Tom.
- General Cabot!
22
00:01:28,588 --> 00:01:30,256
Thought I recognized
that old growl.
23
00:01:30,256 --> 00:01:32,467
- It's been almost five years
since my last tour of duty, son,
24
00:01:32,467 --> 00:01:36,554
so it's just Henry now.
- You still heading up the school board at Stone Creek?
25
00:01:36,554 --> 00:01:38,765
- I think they just like
having a two-star general
26
00:01:38,765 --> 00:01:42,101
on the school newsletter.
Makes them look legit.
27
00:01:42,101 --> 00:01:43,728
- Who are you kidding?
28
00:01:43,728 --> 00:01:45,730
You love that place
almost as much as I do.
29
00:01:45,730 --> 00:01:47,607
- I'm glad to hear you say that,
30
00:01:47,607 --> 00:01:49,984
because there's a situation
there I'd like to
31

- Hooah.
- Hooah, sir.
35
00:02:08,294 --> 00:02:10,588
Good to see you.
- Stone Creek Academy.
36
00:02:10,588 --> 00:02:13,758
: Duty. Honour. Courage.
37
00:02:13,758 --> 00:02:15,635
- At ease, Colonel.
38
00:02:15,635 --> 00:02:20,598
So... when did you
get your marching papers?
39
00:02:20,598 --> 00:02:23,810
- Uh, all too familiar story.
Mortar shell blew.
40
00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:26,187
Shrapnel flew,
nailed me in the shoulder.
41
00:02:26,187 --> 00:02:29,190
Army handed me my retirement
papers three months ago.
42
00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:32,694
- Tough break, but maybe
it was for the best.
43
00:02:32,694 --> 00:02:34,571
- Really? How do
you figure that?
44
00:02:34,571 --> 00:02:36,823

45
00:02:36,823 --> 00:02:38,992
- Thanks, Frank.
- You're welcome.
46
00:02:38,992 --> 00:02:41,202
- Look, I know how
hard it was for you
47
00:02:41,202 --> 00:02:43,872
after your wife passed away, but
would you've really been happy
48
00:02:43,872 --> 00:02:47,000
staying on, doing a desk job?
- Well, not by a long shot,
49
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,252
but I'm not really
cut out for civilian life.
50
00:02:49,252 --> 00:02:53,506
- You're in a period of
transition is all, which, uh,
51
00:02:53,506 --> 00:02:56,384
brings me to my proposition.
52
00:02:56,384 --> 00:02:58,261
I need your help
over at the Academy.
53
00:02:58,261 --> 00:03:01,431
The place has been falling
by the wayside for years.
54
00:03:01,431 --> 00:03:03,558
Enrollment's down to
the point where they can
55
00:03:03,558 --> 00:03:05,894
barely keep the lights on.
- What's the problem?
56
00:03:05,894 --> 00:03:10,064
- I wish I knew. The board just
hired a new dean of academics
57
00:03:10,064 --> 00:03:12,525
to help turn the place around.
- And...?
58
00:03:12,525 --> 00:03:15,862
- And if I had
100 % faith in her,
59
00:03:15,862 --> 00:03:18,364
we wouldn't be having
this conversation.
60
00:03:18,364 --> 00:03:20,491
- Her?
- From San Francisco.
61
00:03:20,491 --> 00:03:22,702
Graduate of Berkeley.
She's a smart one,
62
00:03:22,702 --> 00:03:25,538
but you know,
very yogurt and granola.
63
00:03:25,538 --> 00:03:29,250
Touchy-feely type.
- Non-military.
64
00:03:29,250 --> 00:03:32,045
- I think the Academy could
use someone from the inside
65
00:03:32,045 --> 00:03:35,340
to head up the military
program and corps cadets.
66
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:38,384
- General, I... I'm a soldier.
67
00:03:38,384 --> 00:03:40,011
I'm not an administrator.
68
00:03:40,011 --> 00:03:42,180
- You're a leader.
You always were.
69
00:03:42,180 --> 00:03:45,600
And if anybody can
turn this program around,
70
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,977
it's you.
71
00:03:53,983 --> 00:03:56,653
- It's not that simple. Fall
semester began two weeks ago.
72
00:03:56,653 --> 00:03:58,613
They would need me
to start yesterday.
73
00:03:58,613 --> 00:04:01,574
- Well, that's perfect, because
what did you do yesterday?
74
00:04:01,574 --> 00:04:04,535
Exactly.
75
00:04:06,371 --> 00:04:07,789
OK. What are you afraid of?
76
00:04:07,789 --> 00:04:10,041
- Isn't there somebody else you
can practice this Psych Major
77
00:04:10,041 --> 00:04:12,043
stuff on? I'm already
paying for it once.
78
00:04:12,043 --> 00:04:16,255
- Ah, that is a very good
example of deflection.
79
00:04:16,255 --> 00:04:19,509
I love you, Dad. Bye.
80
00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:23,179
- Bye, Kyles.
81
00:04:24,722 --> 00:04:27,475
What are you afraid of, Tom?
82
00:04:43,032 --> 00:04:45,702
- Good morning...
Emily, is that it?
83
00:04:45,702 --> 00:04:47,704
- Yes, Dean Foster.
Good morning.
84
00:04:47,704 --> 00:04:49,789
- Morning, Melanie.
- Morning.
85
00:04:49,789 --> 00:04:51,749
- And what do we have here?
86
00:04:51,749 --> 00:04:54,252
- Oh, fight outside,
morning reveille.
87
00:04:54,252 --> 00:04:57,088
- Ah, so it's going to be
one of those Mondays, I see.
88
00:04:57,088 --> 00:05:00,049
Send them in.
- Will do.
89
00:05:00,049 --> 00:05:03,136
Boys!
90
00:05:03,136 --> 00:05:06,389
- You both know the Academy
forbids physical altercations.
91
00:05:06,389 --> 00:05:09,350
But worse, one of you is lying
about starting the fight,
92
00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:11,894
which is grounds for expulsion.
- Hey, you're not gonna
93
00:05:11,894 --> 00:05:15,023
get me expelled!
- Hey!
94
00:05:17,650 --> 00:05:20,611
- It wasn't him. I started it.
95
00:05:20,611 --> 00:05:22,905
- I see.
96
00:05:22,905 --> 00:05:25,158
Now, if I'm not mistaken,
you have an incident
97
00:05:25,158 --> 00:05:27,452
on your record
at your previous school.
98
00:05:27,452 --> 00:05:30,413

99
00:05:30,413 --> 00:05:32,373
I swear.
100
00:05:32,373 --> 00:05:37,462
- Alright, then. Seeing as we
are barely into the school year
101
00:05:37,462 --> 00:05:40,548
and just getting settled in,
I am going to opt
102
00:05:40,548 --> 00:05:43,092
for a one-time
"boys will be boys" excuse.
103
00:05:43,092 --> 00:05:46,346

You both keep your noses clean.

Got it?
-: Yes, ma'am.

I've got high hopes for you.
108
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:05,573
You've got a second chance.
Take advantage of it.

More specifically,
it's untucked.

The new dean of academics.
134
00:08:51,197 --> 00:08:53,324
- I know who she is.
I'm just surprised
135
00:08:53,324 --> 00:08:55,701
you refer to
the dean so casually.
136

laidback than I remember.

you could meet her
later this afternoon

to discuss
the upcoming semester.
150
00:09:44,917 --> 00:09:46,919

she's available to meet

152

- Mm, thank you.
156
00:10:12,862 --> 00:10:15,781
- Sorry, dude!
157
00:10:23,539 --> 00:10:25,958
- Seeing as this
is a military academy,
158
00:10:25,958 --> 00:10:29,378
I expected things
to start on time.
159
00:10:31,881 --> 00:10:33,841
- Please continue.
160
00:10:33,841 --> 00:10:36,844
I'm sorry, Colonel.
161
00:10:36,844 --> 00:10:38,721
I thought we were meeting
162
00:10:38,721 --> 00:10:41,891
to get acquainted, not storming
the beaches of Normandy.
163
00:10:41,891 --> 00:10:44,226
Caroline Foster.
164

Nice to meet you.
165
00:10:45,728 --> 00:10:48,397
- Where I come from, Dean
Foster, example's important
166
00:10:48,397 --> 00:10:50,816
and punctuality's
a part of the code.
167
00:10:50,816 --> 00:10:53,069
- OK, then. I was just teaching
168
00:10:53,069 --> 00:10:55,321
the cadets here
the benefits of yoga.
169
00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:57,698
Studies show it helps
with concentration.
170
00:10:57,698 --> 00:10:59,825
And relaxation.
171
00:10:59,825 --> 00:11:01,577
Maybe you should
try it sometime.
172
00:11:01,577 --> 00:11:04,163
- I'm comfortable
just as I am, thank you.
173
00:11:04,163 --> 00:11:06,582
- If you say so.
174
00:11:06,582 --> 00:11:08,167
Shall we?
175
00:11:08,167 --> 00:11:10,503
Anyway, I'm sure you've
already gotten an earful
176
00:11:10,503 --> 00:11:13,631
about the decline
in enrollment from Henry?
177
00:11:13,631 --> 00:11:15,299
- Henry?
178
00:11:15,299 --> 00:11:17,510
Oh, you mean the General.
179
00:11:17,510 --> 00:11:20,012
- Right, I forgot
you two served together.
180
00:11:20,012 --> 00:11:22,348
I suppose old habits
must die hard.
181
00:11:22,348 --> 00:11:25,059
- If they die at all.
- Right.
182
00:11:25,059 --> 00:11:26,811
Well, that's why
I was brought on here,
183
00:11:26,811 --> 00:11:29,814
to help make the Academy more
relevant to a new demographic.
184
00:11:29,814 --> 00:11:31,649
- What was wrong with
the old demographic?
185
00:11:31,649 --> 00:11:35,528
- Parents don't care about the
pomp and circumstance anymore.
186
00:11:35,528 --> 00:11:38,531
No offense. They just want
schools like Stone Creek
187
00:11:38,531 --> 00:11:40,366
to get their kids
into good colleges.
188
00:11:40,366 --> 00:11:42,701
- Well, I was brought in
to emphasize code of conduct,
189
00:11:42,701 --> 00:11:45,704
character development, discipline.
I mean, look at this campus.
190
00:11:45,704 --> 00:11:47,790
It's the cadets' responsibility
to treat their institution
191
00:11:47,790 --> 00:11:49,875
with respect. And how
are they supposed to do that
192
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:52,253
with their noses
buried in cellphones?
193
00:11:52,253 --> 00:11:55,631
On that subject, we're banning
electronic devices from campus.
194
00:11:55,631 --> 00:11:57,842
- Are you serious?
195
00:11:57,842 --> 00:12:01,262
You realize the students
do their homework online?
196
00:12:01,262 --> 00:12:03,806
Look, I don't necessarily
disagree with everything
197
00:12:03,806 --> 00:12:06,725
you're saying, but I also
don't see how your approach
198
00:12:06,725 --> 00:12:09,395
is the only way that we're going
to turn this place around.
199
00:12:09,395 --> 00:12:13,315
- Do you have a better idea?
- Thank you, Colonel.
200
00:12:13,315 --> 00:12:15,276
That's the first time you've
asked me for my opinion.
201
00:12:15,276 --> 00:12:18,779
- Sorry, ma'am. You will find
I call 'em like I see 'em.
202
00:12:18,779 --> 00:12:22,241
- Well, it's very easy to walk
in here, pointing fingers.
203
00:12:22,241 --> 00:12:24,410
I've only had a few weeks to
settle in and you've had, what,
204
00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:27,246
a few hours? Meet the faculty.
205
00:12:27,246 --> 00:12:29,081
Get to know the cadets.
206
00:12:29,081 --> 00:12:31,917
Take a deeper look around
and then come to me with a plan
207
00:12:31,917 --> 00:12:34,962
we can actually discuss.
Got it, Colonel?
208
00:12:34,962 --> 00:12:37,673
- Yes, ma'am.
209
00:12:37,673 --> 00:12:40,176
- Great.
210
00:12:44,054 --> 00:12:46,515
- It's cruel and
unusual punishment
211
00:12:46,515 --> 00:12:48,434
that no one should
be subjected to.
212
00:12:48,434 --> 00:12:51,312
- It's not that bad. It's got
the four major food groups:
213
00:12:51,312 --> 00:12:54,273
beef, turkey, ham, cheese.
- Yeah, I'm not talking about
214
00:12:54,273 --> 00:12:56,358
your protein explosion.
I'm talking about
215
00:12:56,358 --> 00:12:58,861
your "my way or
the highway" attitude.
216
00:12:58,861 --> 00:13:00,863
Like it or not, Dad,
this woman is still your boss.
217
00:13:00,863 --> 00:13:02,823
- Technically, we're in charge
of two separate divisions.
218
00:13:02,823 --> 00:13:06,785
- Well, it sounds to me like
she's trying to work with you.
219
00:13:06,785 --> 00:13:08,662
- Right. By dismissing
220
00:13:08,662 --> 00:13:10,831
everything the
Academy represents.
221
00:13:10,831 --> 00:13:13,626
- You are so frustrating. Why do
you think you're the only person
222
00:13:13,626 --> 00:13:15,961
who knows how to do things?
- Maybe I am...
223
00:13:15,961 --> 00:13:18,339
- Maybe you're not!
224
00:13:18,339 --> 00:13:20,257
Can I make a suggestion?
225
00:13:20,257 --> 00:13:21,842
- Like me saying no
would make a difference.
226
00:13:21,842 --> 00:13:24,595
- Put the dimmer switch
on that personality of yours.
227
00:13:24,595 --> 00:13:28,974
Daddy, don't get me wrong.
I love you to bits.
228
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:33,270
But you have a way of making
everyone the enemy sometimes.
229
00:13:36,106 --> 00:13:39,068
- I don't mean to.
- Well, look at you,
230
00:13:39,068 --> 00:13:41,987
taking baby steps.
231
00:13:41,987 --> 00:13:44,156
You could do that
more often, too.
232
00:13:44,156 --> 00:13:46,325
Smile?
233
00:13:46,325 --> 00:13:48,994
It's not a weakness to show
you have a softer side.
234
00:13:48,994 --> 00:13:51,497
- Well, I'll give you that.
235
00:13:51,497 --> 00:13:55,918
Your mom had a way of
getting me to lower my guard.
236
00:13:55,918 --> 00:13:57,586
- Well, now that she's gone,
237
00:13:57,586 --> 00:14:00,339
maybe you have to learn
how to do that for yourself.
238
00:14:00,339 --> 00:14:05,678
Or find someone new
to help you do it.
239
00:14:11,016 --> 00:14:13,602
And up goes that guard again.
240
00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:28,909
- Uh... standby colours.
241
00:14:28,909 --> 00:14:31,078
♪♪
242
00:14:46,176 --> 00:14:48,304
- Attention!
243
00:14:51,932 --> 00:14:54,310
Some of you look like
you just rolled out of bed.
244
00:14:54,310 --> 00:14:55,936
- No, sir.
245
00:14:55,936 --> 00:14:59,023
- Can somebody explain to me why
nobody's heart is in their duty?
246
00:14:59,023 --> 00:15:03,068
When I was your age, we had to earn this privilege.
- When was that? Vietnam?
247
00:15:03,068 --> 00:15:06,030
- That's it, hero. Give me 20.
248
00:15:06,030 --> 00:15:08,949
- Sorry. I don't get
my allowance until Friday.
249
00:15:08,949 --> 00:15:12,661
- Push-ups! That's everybody,
on the ground. Let's go!
250
00:15:16,123 --> 00:15:19,585
Come on. Let's go, let's go!
251
00:15:21,003 --> 00:15:23,922
You can thank Cadet
Keller. Real push-ups.
252
00:15:23,922 --> 00:15:26,884
- Nothing like starting the day
with a little calisthenics.
253
00:15:26,884 --> 00:15:29,470
Is that it, Colonel Brennan?
- Something like that.
254
00:15:29,470 --> 00:15:31,597
The cadets and I are
just getting acquainted.
255
00:15:31,597 --> 00:15:33,599
- Good, because
some of these cadets
256
00:15:33,599 --> 00:15:36,018
are the Academy's
top scholars, like Emily
257
00:15:36,018 --> 00:15:39,772
and Jared. And Mason here
actually just skipped a grade.
258
00:15:39,772 --> 00:15:42,274
- The wise guy?
259
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:44,109
Flat backs!
260
00:15:44,109 --> 00:15:46,612
Knees on the ground,
if you have to.
261
00:15:46,612 --> 00:15:50,407
Dean, it's traditional to refer
to cadets by their last name.
262
00:15:50,407 --> 00:15:52,576
- Oh, I don't know.
I find that so impersonal.
263
00:15:52,576 --> 00:15:56,413
Don't you? I'm actually trying
to get them to call me Caroline.
264
00:15:56,413 --> 00:15:59,291
I mean, that is my name.
Right, cadets?
265
00:15:59,291 --> 00:16:01,960
- OK, that's enough.
On your feet.
266
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,464
Get to class, cadets.
Walk with me.
267
00:16:08,133 --> 00:16:11,679
I would appreciate it
268
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:13,555
if you didn't contradict me
in front of the cadets.
269
00:16:13,555 --> 00:16:18,143
How far
can you walk in those?
270
00:16:18,143 --> 00:16:21,772
- Watch me.
271
00:16:21,772 --> 00:16:24,316
For enrollment to grow,
I plan on implementing
272
00:16:24,316 --> 00:16:26,652
progressive teaching methods
that worked at my last job:
273
00:16:26,652 --> 00:16:30,364
expanded learning tracks,
life skills courses,
274
00:16:30,364 --> 00:16:33,325
flipped classrooms...
- What's a flipped classroom?
275
00:16:33,325 --> 00:16:35,828
Never mind.
- We're not in the business
276
00:16:35,828 --> 00:16:38,622
of creating soldiers. We're
supposed to be shaping minds.
277
00:16:38,622 --> 00:16:40,999
- Precisely, and if you truly
understood the military model,
278
00:16:40,999 --> 00:16:43,335
you would see that discipline
fosters a great work ethic
279
00:16:43,335 --> 00:16:46,004
that carries over into every
aspect of a cadet's life.
280
00:16:46,004 --> 00:16:48,173
- And if I respectfully
disagree, what?
281
00:16:48,173 --> 00:16:50,050
Are you going to tell me
to drop and give you 20?
282
00:16:50,050 --> 00:16:52,720
- If I thought it would help.
- Look, I may not know much
283
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,847
about the military,
but I do get kids.
284
00:16:54,847 --> 00:16:57,057
I know what keeps them
motivated to succeed.
285
00:16:57,057 --> 00:17:01,019
But I can't do it alone and
I also... can't climb this hill.
286
00:17:01,019 --> 00:17:04,732
"Can't." It's the most overused
287
00:17:04,732 --> 00:17:07,234
word in the English language.
It's just another word for quit.
288
00:17:07,234 --> 00:17:09,028
- Is that so?
- Yes, ma'am.
289
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:11,530
You said, "I can't climb
this hill." Yes, you can.
290
00:17:11,530 --> 00:17:13,907
Do your feet hurt?
Sure, but you can climb.
291
00:17:13,907 --> 00:17:16,034
"Can't" suggests it's out
of your power. It's not.
292
00:17:16,034 --> 00:17:19,663
- Fine! How about this?
I'm not climbing this hill
293
00:17:19,663 --> 00:17:23,417
in these shoes.
- Better. That's a choice.
294
00:17:25,210 --> 00:17:28,797
- I really CAN'T stand that man.
295
00:17:37,055 --> 00:17:39,183
♪♪
296
00:18:12,591 --> 00:18:15,844
You wanted to see me, Colonel?
297
00:18:15,844 --> 00:18:18,514
- Yes. Can you see
if Dean Foster's
298
00:18:18,514 --> 00:18:20,432
available for
a meeting after lunch?
299
00:18:20,432 --> 00:18:22,351
- You mean here,
in the war room?
300
00:18:22,351 --> 00:18:25,562
I mean, your office?
301
00:18:25,562 --> 00:18:27,815
- Dean's choice.
302
00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:39,535
- She says she can meet you out
on the quad, 1:30 to 1:45ish.
303
00:18:42,663 --> 00:18:45,207
"Ish" means
somewhere in between.
304
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:51,296
- I am familiar with
the term. But tell me,
305
00:18:51,296 --> 00:18:53,215
at what point does
"ish" just become
306
00:18:53,215 --> 00:18:55,300
a blatant disregard
for a time commitment?
307
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:58,303
- I'd give it
around a half hour.
308
00:19:00,138 --> 00:19:03,058
- Good to know.
309
00:19:07,563 --> 00:19:10,023
On time, I see.
310
00:19:10,023 --> 00:19:12,025
- Actually, I got here
a few minutes early,
311
00:19:12,025 --> 00:19:14,486
in case you were
planning to blitzkrieg.
312
00:19:14,486 --> 00:19:17,322
- Perfect. I love a walk
and talk. Only this time,
313
00:19:17,322 --> 00:19:20,409
it's not a competition.
I have a game plan
314
00:19:20,409 --> 00:19:23,078
I'd like to run by you.
- What's the catch?
315
00:19:23,078 --> 00:19:25,831
- There's no catch. We both
want the same thing, right?
316
00:19:25,831 --> 00:19:27,708
- Well, that depends.
317
00:19:27,708 --> 00:19:30,210
You sometimes seem
a little bit resistant
318
00:19:30,210 --> 00:19:34,298
to anybody's ideas but your own.
- Well, people can change.
319
00:19:34,298 --> 00:19:38,343
If they... want to.
320
00:19:38,343 --> 00:19:40,220
- Hopefully a little more easily
321
00:19:40,220 --> 00:19:43,348
than those words coming
out of your mouth.
322
00:19:43,348 --> 00:19:46,810
- So I've looked around and
my first impression still holds.
323
00:19:46,810 --> 00:19:48,687
We need to reembrace
conduct codes
324
00:19:48,687 --> 00:19:51,481
and enhance levels of respect
and confidence to up our game.
325
00:19:51,481 --> 00:19:53,525
- I'm glad to see
you're still sticking
326
00:19:53,525 --> 00:19:55,527
with your original opinion.
327
00:19:55,527 --> 00:19:57,362
You're consistent,
I'll give you that.
328
00:19:57,362 --> 00:20:00,616
- Ma'am, you gotta let me finish.
Which leads to reinvigorating the school's
329
00:20:00,616 --> 00:20:02,618
junior ROTC program,
which parents love
330
00:20:02,618 --> 00:20:04,995
because of the financial
assistance. It appeals
331
00:20:04,995 --> 00:20:07,539
to graduates for college.
- Ambitious. Do not quote me
332
00:20:07,539 --> 00:20:10,375
on this, but I like
the way you think.
333
00:20:10,375 --> 00:20:12,336
- Well, it's not
flipping houses,
334
00:20:12,336 --> 00:20:14,296
but it's an idea
to put us on the map.
335
00:20:14,296 --> 00:20:16,256
- Flipped classrooms,
which simply means
336
00:20:16,256 --> 00:20:19,134
watching class lectures at home
and doing homework in class.
337
00:20:19,134 --> 00:20:21,178
- Doesn't that
make it classwork?
338
00:20:21,178 --> 00:20:24,181
- Listen. I happen to believe
that a more personal approach
339
00:20:24,181 --> 00:20:27,142
to learning can be just
as effective, if not more,
340
00:20:27,142 --> 00:20:29,686
than your take-no-
prisoners attitude.
341
00:20:29,686 --> 00:20:31,647
- Dean, you have
to understand in battle,
342
00:20:31,647 --> 00:20:33,732
an individual is only
as strong as his unit.
343
00:20:33,732 --> 00:20:35,734
- We are not
in battle right now.
344
00:20:35,734 --> 00:20:37,569
- We're always in battle, ma'am.
345
00:20:37,569 --> 00:20:39,613
And for the record,
your approach sounds like
346
00:20:39,613 --> 00:20:42,199
a coddling load of psychobabble.
347
00:20:42,199 --> 00:20:43,909
- Psychobabble?
348
00:20:43,909 --> 00:20:46,244
You know what, Colonel?
We're done here.
349
00:20:46,244 --> 00:20:49,081
And to think that I actually
complimented you on your ideas.
350
00:20:49,081 --> 00:20:51,333
- Idea. I had more, but you
didn't let me get to them.
351
00:20:51,333 --> 00:20:53,710
- Well, that's because the only
way you know how to share them
352
00:20:53,710 --> 00:20:55,671
is by barking them
out like orders.
353
00:20:55,671 --> 00:20:57,798
You know what? I guess
it's true what they say.
354
00:20:57,798 --> 00:20:59,508
Old soldiers never die...
355
00:20:59,508 --> 00:21:03,178
or know when to keep their
ears open and mouths shut.
356
00:21:11,561 --> 00:21:13,522
- The woman won't listen
to common sense.
357
00:21:13,522 --> 00:21:15,774
- She's not the enemy, Tom.
358
00:21:15,774 --> 00:21:18,944
You need to find
a middle ground with her.
359
00:21:18,944 --> 00:21:23,198
- Yeah, well, preferably
in a different zip code.
360
00:21:25,242 --> 00:21:27,369
- There's something
you ought to know.
361
00:21:27,369 --> 00:21:30,664
I hate bringing it up,
'cause it might not even happen,
362
00:21:30,664 --> 00:21:32,666
but it might get you to
start thinking differently
363
00:21:32,666 --> 00:21:35,419
about your approach. There's
talk that Bremner College
364
00:21:35,419 --> 00:21:38,964
is going to buy the Academy and tear
it down to build a dormitory complex.
365
00:21:38,964 --> 00:21:40,757
- Are you serious?
- Uh-huh.
366
00:21:40,757 --> 00:21:44,386
- You're gonna let that happen?
- No one's letting anything happen. But at the end
367
00:21:44,386 --> 00:21:46,346
of the day, my ranking
means nothing to a bunch of
368
00:21:46,346 --> 00:21:49,558
30-something board members who
only salute to the bottom line.
369
00:21:49,558 --> 00:21:51,268
- What do I do?
370
00:21:51,268 --> 00:21:54,312
- Convince them the place
is worth keeping.
371
00:21:54,312 --> 00:21:56,648
Increasing enrollment
would be a great start,
372
00:21:56,648 --> 00:21:58,567
but you need to do it quickly.
373
00:21:58,567 --> 00:22:01,486
- Why do I feel like the
captain of a sinking ship?
374
00:22:05,741 --> 00:22:07,659
- So by giving cadets a choice
375
00:22:07,659 --> 00:22:09,619
of watching lectures
at their leisure,
376
00:22:09,619 --> 00:22:12,539
in-class time can be
devoted to exercises,
377
00:22:12,539 --> 00:22:14,750
projects or discussions.
378
00:22:14,750 --> 00:22:16,877
Yes, Pete? Do you
have something to add?
379
00:22:16,877 --> 00:22:20,380
- Caroline, while I do think
some of your ideas are bold,
380
00:22:20,380 --> 00:22:23,258
I'm not sure any of this is
going to be the fix you need
381
00:22:23,258 --> 00:22:26,261
to turn this academy around.
- I agree. Look.
382
00:22:26,261 --> 00:22:28,597
The scholastics program
can always be improved,
383
00:22:28,597 --> 00:22:30,557
but that's not what's
ailing this academy.
384
00:22:30,557 --> 00:22:33,060
- So what do you think
the problem is, Jennifer?
385
00:22:33,060 --> 00:22:35,771
- Well, it seems like
no one really cares anymore.
386
00:22:35,771 --> 00:22:38,065
- Everyone's been getting away
with doing a little less
387
00:22:38,065 --> 00:22:40,734
and a little less
and it starts to snowball.
388
00:22:40,734 --> 00:22:43,070
- It wasn't always that way.
389
00:22:43,070 --> 00:22:46,031
When I started here, there
was a pride in the Academy
390
00:22:46,031 --> 00:22:49,034
and everything
- duty,
391
00:22:49,034 --> 00:22:53,371
honour, courage.
- Yes, we've heard.
392
00:22:53,371 --> 00:22:54,915
And now?
393
00:22:54,915 --> 00:22:57,167
- It doesn't take
a mathematician to figure
394
00:22:57,167 --> 00:23:00,003
our current class
sizes won't translate
395
00:23:00,003 --> 00:23:02,422
into a sustainable business.
396
00:23:02,422 --> 00:23:04,216
- Look. With all the cutbacks
and the rumours that the school
397
00:23:04,216 --> 00:23:06,218
is going under, we all
figure that the Academy's
398
00:23:06,218 --> 00:23:10,055
days are numbered.
- And you're all OK with that?
399
00:23:10,055 --> 00:23:12,057
Sorry, just curious.
400
00:23:12,057 --> 00:23:13,975
- No, none of us want this place
401
00:23:13,975 --> 00:23:17,979
to go out with a whimper,
but what can we do?
402

First untucked shirts,
now unmade beds!
407
00:23:51,096 --> 00:23:53,640
Do you mind explaining
this to me, hero?
408
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,476
- It's made. I pulled
the covers over it!
409
00:23:56,476 --> 00:23:58,603
- You consider this made?
410
00:23:58,603 --> 00:24:00,814
You should be able to bounce
a quarter off this thing.
411
00:24:00,814 --> 00:24:03,692
- I told you, I don't get
my allowance until Friday.
412
00:24:05,610 --> 00:24:09,197
- I'll show you how
to properly make a bed.
413
00:24:09,197 --> 00:24:12,701
Watch me and do what I do.
414
00:24:16,246 --> 00:24:19,207
You actually have no idea why
this is important, do you?
415
00:24:19,207 --> 00:24:24,504
It's about order, consistency,
attention to detail.
416
00:24:24,504 --> 00:24:26,715
- If you say so, sir.
417
00:24:26,715 --> 00:24:29,509
- Get your coat.
418
00:24:30,927 --> 00:24:34,723
- Wait. You're not going to make
me do push-ups again, are you?
419
00:24:34,723 --> 00:24:36,766
- Actually...
420
00:24:36,766 --> 00:24:39,352
I need your help.
421
00:24:39,352 --> 00:24:41,855
I'm trying to find out
what you and the other cadets
422
00:24:41,855 --> 00:24:43,773
think about the Academy.
423
00:24:43,773 --> 00:24:45,984
So you'll have permission
to speak freely.
424
00:24:45,984 --> 00:24:48,862
- Exactly how freely?
425
00:24:50,488 --> 00:24:53,783
Personally, I think
most cadets see Stone Creek
426
00:24:53,783 --> 00:24:55,827
as a place for parents
to send their slackers.
427
00:24:55,827 --> 00:24:57,954
- I beg your pardon?
- Kids with disciplinary
428
00:24:57,954 --> 00:25:00,916
problems. You know, hoping the
Academy will straighten 'em out.
429
00:25:00,916 --> 00:25:03,835
- I see.
430
00:25:03,835 --> 00:25:06,379
Anybody I might know
that fits that description?
431
00:25:06,379 --> 00:25:09,591
- No, sir. None that
I know of personally.
432
00:25:09,591 --> 00:25:11,760
- OK.
433
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,179
Tell me, cadet. When was
the last time the school
434
00:25:14,179 --> 00:25:17,140
had an honours ceremony?
- What's that?
435
00:25:18,516 --> 00:25:21,436
- It's a ceremony that honours
cadets who have demonstrated
436
00:25:21,436 --> 00:25:25,273
exemplary performance.
It features elaborate drills,
437
00:25:25,273 --> 00:25:27,067
parades, dress formals...
438
00:25:27,067 --> 00:25:29,861
when I was a cadet, the backbone
of any military academy.
439
00:25:29,861 --> 00:25:32,364
- I don't know. Guess they
phased that stuff out
440
00:25:32,364 --> 00:25:34,950
after you went here
back in the 60s.
441
00:25:34,950 --> 00:25:37,452
- I appreciate
your honesty, cadet,
442
00:25:37,452 --> 00:25:40,664
but it was actually the mid-80s.
443
00:25:40,664 --> 00:25:43,833
Permission to speak
freely is now revoked.
444
00:25:57,472 --> 00:26:00,058
- You know, watching yoga
is only half as much fun
445
00:26:00,058 --> 00:26:02,560
as practicing it.
- How did you know I was here?
446
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,772
- Because whenever you're
around me, a 21-gun salute
447
00:26:05,772 --> 00:26:07,983
goes off in my head.
448
00:26:09,693 --> 00:26:13,655
Great job, cadets.
I'll see you same time tomorrow.
449
00:26:16,032 --> 00:26:19,244
- If you're up for the
challenge, I thought maybe...
450
00:26:19,244 --> 00:26:20,996
maybe we could try this again.
451
00:26:20,996 --> 00:26:23,915
- Should I get my boxing
gloves now, or...?
452
00:26:23,915 --> 00:26:25,875
- You might be
surprised to hear this,
453
00:26:25,875 --> 00:26:28,211
but I'm actually easygoing.
454
00:26:30,380 --> 00:26:32,716
- About an easygoing
as an avalanche.
455
00:26:32,716 --> 00:26:36,428
- Try me.
- OK.
456
00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:38,930
So you really think
what's ailing this academy
457
00:26:38,930 --> 00:26:41,766
could be solved with
your military approach?
458
00:26:41,766 --> 00:26:44,144
- I did, but you were right
459
00:26:44,144 --> 00:26:47,605
to ask me to take
a deeper look around.
460
00:26:47,605 --> 00:26:50,525
What?
- You just said I was right.
461
00:26:50,525 --> 00:26:53,320
Forgive me for basking
in a little glory.
462
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,489
- Well, don't bask too long.
463
00:26:56,489 --> 00:26:59,242
The board is talking
about closing the Academy.
464
00:26:59,242 --> 00:27:02,370
- So the rumours are true.
465
00:27:02,370 --> 00:27:04,789
How much time do we have?
- We'll finish the school year
466
00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:07,667
for sure, but the deal
could be sealed before that,
467
00:27:07,667 --> 00:27:11,087
which is why you and I have
to find a way to work together.
468
00:27:11,087 --> 00:27:14,299
- Agreed. As long as you promise
469
00:27:14,299 --> 00:27:16,676
to not bark out ideas
like I'm your subordinate.
470
00:27:16,676 --> 00:27:20,055
- Roger that. I just ask
that you keep an open mind
471
00:27:20,055 --> 00:27:22,223
about a more
traditional approach.
472
00:27:22,223 --> 00:27:24,601
- I'm Zen with that.
473
00:27:24,601 --> 00:27:26,353
- Really?
474
00:27:26,353 --> 00:27:28,813
- Why do you look so surprised?
475
00:27:28,813 --> 00:27:30,815
- Well, you might not be aware,
476
00:27:30,815 --> 00:27:32,942
but you can
be tough to work with.

00:30:00,089 --> 00:30:02,133
If you read it on the internet,
it must be true, right?
508
00:30:02,133 --> 00:30:04,344
- I meant no disrespect, sir.
509
00:30:04,344 --> 00:30:06,804
I was just curious
after our discussion.
510
00:30:06,804 --> 00:30:10,308
See, I did some
research on Stone Creek.
511
00:30:10,308 --> 00:30:12,644
- OK.
- Did you know two generals
512
00:30:12,644 --> 00:30:15,313
from World War II were former
graduates of the Academy?
513
00:30:15,313 --> 00:30:17,649
One of them even served on
the board before he took over
514
00:30:17,649 --> 00:30:19,442
the superintendent
post at Westpoint.
515
00:30:19,442 --> 00:30:21,819
- Didn't realize you
were such a history buff.
516
00:30:21,819 --> 00:30:24,280
- What was this place
like when you went here?
517
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,824
- You mean during
the War of 1812?
518
00:30:28,868 --> 00:30:33,665
There was great pride
in being a Stone Creek cadet.
519
00:30:33,665 --> 00:30:38,419
We felt like we were a part of
something bigger than ourselves,
520
00:30:38,419 --> 00:30:40,380
that we could
accomplish anything
521
00:30:40,380 --> 00:30:43,841
if we set our mind to it.
- So do you think
522
00:30:43,841 --> 00:30:46,427
you can bring this place back
to the way it used to be?
523
00:30:46,427 --> 00:30:48,388
- I wouldn't
be here if I didn't.
524
00:30:48,388 --> 00:30:51,182
- That's cool.
525
00:30:51,182 --> 00:30:53,434
I mean, I'd like
to see that happen.
526
00:30:53,434 --> 00:30:55,520
- Really? That's
quite a turnaround
527
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,897
from our earlier conversation.
Why the sudden change of heart?
528
00:30:57,897 --> 00:31:01,859
- Well, after that growth spurt
I've been waiting on kicks in,
529
00:31:01,859 --> 00:31:04,946
I was thinking about joining
the Air Force one day.
530
00:31:04,946 --> 00:31:06,823
- Really?
531
00:31:06,823 --> 00:31:10,201
Pretty impressive.
Future fly boy, eh?
532
00:31:10,201 --> 00:31:12,579
That's about the
toughest ticket in town.
533
00:31:12,579 --> 00:31:15,123
- Do you think I have
what it takes, sir?
534
00:31:19,085 --> 00:31:21,838
- My dad always said,
"You can attain
535
00:31:21,838 --> 00:31:24,632
anything you want in life
through perseverance."
536
00:31:24,632 --> 00:31:28,052
- You really believe that?
- I really do.
537
00:31:28,052 --> 00:31:32,390
You just need
the proper inspiration.
538
00:31:36,060 --> 00:31:38,062
Well, if you don't
want to get a tardy,
539
00:31:38,062 --> 00:31:40,398
you better hightail
it to class, hero.
540
00:31:40,398 --> 00:31:42,734
- Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
541
00:31:42,734 --> 00:31:44,986
- Mm-hmm.
542
00:31:50,908 --> 00:31:53,953
- I didn't realize the Colonel
actually attended the Academy,
543
00:31:53,953 --> 00:31:58,625
but I'd recognize that
steely-eyed glare anywhere.
544
00:31:58,625 --> 00:32:01,586
- Oh, my goodness.
Look how cute he was.
545
00:32:01,586 --> 00:32:04,464
- I know! That's a picture
546
00:32:04,464 --> 00:32:07,091
of him with my mom.
That'd be on the night
547
00:32:07,091 --> 00:32:08,968
he finally mustered
the courage to ask her out.
548
00:32:08,968 --> 00:32:12,138
-: Aw!
- You know, you look like her.
549
00:32:12,138 --> 00:32:13,765
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
550
00:32:13,765 --> 00:32:16,893
- I miss hearing people say
that. It's hard to believe
551
00:32:16,893 --> 00:32:19,604
it's been almost three years
since she passed away.
552
00:32:19,604 --> 00:32:21,606
- Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry.
553
00:32:21,606 --> 00:32:24,150
- Oh...
- I had no idea
554
00:32:24,150 --> 00:32:26,611
the Colonel was a widower.
555
00:32:26,611 --> 00:32:30,031
- So to what do
we owe the surprise?
556
00:32:30,031 --> 00:32:32,450
I thought you were studying
at Bremner College.
557
00:32:32,450 --> 00:32:36,120
- Uh, yeah. Yeah...
558
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,207
Don't tell my dad,
but I took the day off.
559
00:32:39,207 --> 00:32:41,668
I think I'm having
a case of the June blues.
560
00:32:41,668 --> 00:32:45,129
- Look, Kylie, feel free to call
me and vent, if you like.
561
00:32:45,129 --> 00:32:46,964
Before I got
into administration,
562
00:32:46,964 --> 00:32:49,133
I spent four years
as a career counsellor.
563
00:32:49,133 --> 00:32:51,386
- Oh, really? So is that helping
564
00:32:51,386 --> 00:32:53,346
when it comes to butting
heads with my dad?
565
00:32:53,346 --> 00:32:55,682
- It's a day-by-day situation.
566
00:32:55,682 --> 00:32:58,518
- Sometimes, minute-by-minute.
567
00:32:58,518 --> 00:33:01,729
I thought I heard your voice.
568
00:33:04,065 --> 00:33:06,526
What's going on in here?
- Oh, didn't you get the memo?
569
00:33:06,526 --> 00:33:08,569
It's Bring Your
Daughter to Work Day.
570
00:33:08,569 --> 00:33:13,074
- Um, Kylie, I'm afraid you
picked sort of a bad time.
571
00:33:13,074 --> 00:33:15,284
We're kind of in the throes
of it here. I've got a big
572
00:33:15,284 --> 00:33:17,995
strategy meeting with the boss.
- Oh, I prefer the term
573
00:33:17,995 --> 00:33:20,790
"superior officer."
- Yeah, no, I totally
574
00:33:20,790 --> 00:33:23,876
understand. I just came by
to say hi, see your office...
575
00:33:23,876 --> 00:33:26,713
- Oh, I can show it to you.
It's not very fancy, though.
576
00:33:26,713 --> 00:33:29,132
The Colonel here
doesn't like to decorate.
577
00:33:29,132 --> 00:33:31,926
- OK, let's go!
- OK, let's go.
578
00:33:34,262 --> 00:33:37,223
: I like her.
579
00:33:37,223 --> 00:33:40,601
- Kylie is a lovely girl.
580
00:33:40,601 --> 00:33:42,812
You should be very proud.
581
00:33:42,812 --> 00:33:45,106
- Well, I can't take all the
credit. Her mother did most
582
00:33:45,106 --> 00:33:47,692
of the heavy lifting.
- I think Kylie would disagree.
583
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,820
You can tell just by
the way she looks at you.
584
00:33:54,782 --> 00:33:59,203
- Um, well, you ready
to start brainstorming?
585
00:33:59,203 --> 00:34:02,290
- Let's get this party started.
586
00:34:08,838 --> 00:34:10,715
I think the key
to increasing enrollment
587
00:34:10,715 --> 00:34:13,384
is raising morale internally,
but also changing
588
00:34:13,384 --> 00:34:15,303
the community's
perception of the Academy.
589
00:34:15,303 --> 00:34:17,054
- I couldn't agree more,
but the question is
590
00:34:17,054 --> 00:34:19,098
how do we accomplish that
in the shortest amount of time?
591
00:34:19,098 --> 00:34:21,642
- Well, that's our challenge,
which got me thinking
592
00:34:21,642 --> 00:34:23,686
about the homecoming dance.
- Well, that might stir
593
00:34:23,686 --> 00:34:25,897
some interest among cadets, but
I doubt it'll blip on the radar
594
00:34:25,897 --> 00:34:29,275
with the board members.
- You didn't let me finish.
595
00:34:29,275 --> 00:34:31,944
Hey. Hey.
596
00:34:31,944 --> 00:34:34,155
- Beg your pardon.
597
00:34:34,155 --> 00:34:37,700
That's military speak for,
"I'm sorry. Please continue."
598
00:34:37,700 --> 00:34:41,579
- Thank you. This year,
the Academy turns 100,
599
00:34:41,579 --> 00:34:43,498
which got me thinking,
600
00:34:43,498 --> 00:34:46,083
why don't we host
a huge centennial benefit
601
00:34:46,083 --> 00:34:49,962
at Scholar Hall instead?
- Ah, gotcha.
602
00:34:49,962 --> 00:34:52,089
Bring out some alumni,
get a lot of free press.
603
00:34:52,089 --> 00:34:54,258
- Let's make it a celebration
that honours the school
604
00:34:54,258 --> 00:34:58,012
as well as the community. And
let's give the board a reason
605
00:34:58,012 --> 00:35:01,265
not to tear the Academy down.
- I like it.
606
00:35:01,265 --> 00:35:04,435
- You like it,
but you don't love it?
607
00:35:04,435 --> 00:35:06,562
- Don't get me wrong. I like
where you're headed. I just...
608
00:35:06,562 --> 00:35:08,272
I don't think
it goes far enough.
609
00:35:08,272 --> 00:35:11,609
- I'm sensing a "yet"
in my future.
610
00:35:18,282 --> 00:35:21,285
I get it. This is all
very impressive.
611
00:35:21,285 --> 00:35:23,204
- Honours ceremonies
are the lifeblood
612
00:35:23,204 --> 00:35:26,207
of any military academy.
And it's not just handing out
613
00:35:26,207 --> 00:35:29,252
ribbons and commendations,
it's what's behind them.
614
00:35:29,252 --> 00:35:31,170
- And what's that?
- Pride.
615
00:35:31,170 --> 00:35:34,090
Something this academy
is obviously sorely lacking.
616
00:35:34,090 --> 00:35:36,676
I mean, a centennial celebration
doesn't mean anything
617
00:35:36,676 --> 00:35:38,845
if there's nothing
behind it to celebrate.
618
00:35:38,845 --> 00:35:41,556
Remember, perception is reality.
619
00:35:41,556 --> 00:35:45,101
- And so is the bottom line.
I imagine this all comes
620
00:35:45,101 --> 00:35:47,728
with a pretty hefty
price tag. And remember,
621
00:35:47,728 --> 00:35:49,814
our goal is to find a way
to increase enrollment.
622
00:35:49,814 --> 00:35:53,276
- Exactly. And this...
this is the key.
623
00:35:53,276 --> 00:35:55,319
You don't know what
it feels like to earn
624
00:35:55,319 --> 00:35:58,364
the Dean's Superior
Leadership Award.
625
00:35:58,364 --> 00:36:00,908
- But you do.
626
00:36:02,660 --> 00:36:05,663
- The honours ceremony's
a culmination of academics
627
00:36:05,663 --> 00:36:10,042
and discipline. This, this will
give our cadets and the faculty
628
00:36:10,042 --> 00:36:12,420
something to believe in.
Work hard, earn the honour,
629
00:36:12,420 --> 00:36:14,380
the rest will follow.
I'm telling you,
630
00:36:14,380 --> 00:36:16,340
if we can pull this off,
every parent out there
631
00:36:16,340 --> 00:36:18,509
will be dying to send
their kid to Stone Creek.
632
00:36:18,509 --> 00:36:21,345
- I feel your passion
and I agree with you.
633
00:36:21,345 --> 00:36:23,639
This could all be so incredible.
634
00:36:23,639 --> 00:36:27,018
- I'm sensing a "but"
in my future.
635
00:36:34,358 --> 00:36:36,777
- Uh, oh. Somebody
doesn't look happy.
636
00:36:36,777 --> 00:36:39,196
- How am I supposed to save
a school when there's not enough
637
00:36:39,196 --> 00:36:42,074
money in the budget
to afford a pencil eraser?
638
00:36:42,074 --> 00:36:45,244
- Well, hopefully,
it's nothing a little beef stew
639
00:36:45,244 --> 00:36:48,706
won't take the edge off.
- What's going on?
640
00:36:48,706 --> 00:36:51,876
Why are you trying to butter
me up with my favourite meal?
641
00:36:51,876 --> 00:36:53,878
You are not
switching majors again.
642
00:36:53,878 --> 00:36:56,547
- OK, will you relax?
Maybe I just wanted
643
00:36:56,547 --> 00:37:00,259
a little father-daughter time.
644
00:37:05,306 --> 00:37:08,351
- Well, then, why are there
three plates at the table?
645
00:37:22,907 --> 00:37:25,534
Dean Foster.
- Hi.
646
00:37:25,534 --> 00:37:28,245
- Oh, come in.
647
00:37:30,164 --> 00:37:32,625
- Thanks for coming
on such short notice.
648
00:37:32,625 --> 00:37:35,336
- Are you kidding?
I welcomed a hot meal
649
00:37:35,336 --> 00:37:38,714
after the cold shoulder
I got this afternoon.
650
00:37:38,714 --> 00:37:41,092
- It wasn't that cold and
it wasn't directed at you.
651
00:37:41,092 --> 00:37:43,427
I'm just frustrated
with the situation.
652
00:37:43,427 --> 00:37:46,222
- I know. Welcome to my anxiety.
653
00:37:46,222 --> 00:37:49,517
Speaking of which, this bottle
is not going to open itself,
654
00:37:49,517 --> 00:37:51,978
Colonel.
- Tom.
655
00:37:51,978 --> 00:37:53,980
That's your name!
You might as well start
656
00:37:53,980 --> 00:37:56,774
letting people use it.
You'll have to forgive
657
00:37:56,774 --> 00:37:58,776
my father. He's not
used to entertaining.
658
00:37:58,776 --> 00:38:01,529
Or mixing business
with pleasure. Actually,
659
00:38:01,529 --> 00:38:05,408
he hasn't really figured out the pleasure part yet.
- Would you like to come in?
660
00:38:08,911 --> 00:38:12,331
- I like what you haven't
done with the place.
661
00:38:12,331 --> 00:38:16,002
- I know. I guess it's the
offshoot of living in barracks
662
00:38:16,002 --> 00:38:18,879
for so long. I tend
to keep things sparse.
663
00:38:18,879 --> 00:38:21,465
Old habits die hard.
- I heard.
664
00:38:21,465 --> 00:38:24,176
If they die at all.
665
00:38:24,176 --> 00:38:27,596
At least you didn't paint
the outside camouflage.
666
00:38:27,596 --> 00:38:29,807
- Oh, no.
667
00:38:29,807 --> 00:38:32,226
I have to go back
to campus. My roommate,
668
00:38:32,226 --> 00:38:34,812
she's locked herself
out of our dorm.
669
00:38:34,812 --> 00:38:37,148
I'm so sorry. You know what?
670
00:38:37,148 --> 00:38:41,944
You guys eat, I'll go,
I'll come back as soon as I can.
671
00:38:41,944 --> 00:38:44,488
: Wait. You can't
leave me here with her.
672
00:38:44,488 --> 00:38:46,657
What do you expect me to do?
673
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:49,702
- I don't know!
Listen to your guest?
674
00:38:49,702 --> 00:38:52,538
That wine isn't pouring itself.
675
00:38:52,538 --> 00:38:55,458
Bye, Caroline.
- Bye!
676
00:38:55,458 --> 00:38:58,044
: Have fun!
677
00:38:58,044 --> 00:39:01,047
Just be charming, will ya?
678
00:39:04,508 --> 00:39:08,304
- So I take it my idea to
revive the honours ceremony
679
00:39:08,304 --> 00:39:10,556
is off the table.
680
00:39:10,556 --> 00:39:14,518
- No, it could still be on it,
681
00:39:14,518 --> 00:39:17,938
if only you had one.
682
00:39:19,899 --> 00:39:23,027
No, it's all about
weighing our options
683
00:39:23,027 --> 00:39:24,945
and deciding on the
best course of action.
684
00:39:24,945 --> 00:39:28,532
- But because you're the dean,
it's ultimately your decision.
685
00:39:28,532 --> 00:39:30,951
- That's true.
686
00:39:30,951 --> 00:39:32,536
But remember, we said
that we would work together.
687
00:39:32,536 --> 00:39:36,165
I know you're from a world
of leaders and followers,
688
00:39:36,165 --> 00:39:38,084
but for me, there needs to be
689
00:39:38,084 --> 00:39:40,461
a yin and yang in order
to create harmony.
690
00:39:40,461 --> 00:39:43,005
- I see. Right brain
versus left brain.
691
00:39:43,005 --> 00:39:45,466
But which one of us
has the right brain?
692
00:39:45,466 --> 00:39:47,635
- Time will tell.
693
00:39:49,136 --> 00:39:51,055
- What made you decide
to be an English major?
694
00:39:51,055 --> 00:39:55,559
I imagined you having
hippie artist parents
695
00:39:55,559 --> 00:39:58,771
who encouraged you
to chase rainbows.
696
00:39:58,771 --> 00:40:01,232
- Not exactly.
697
00:40:01,232 --> 00:40:03,567
You know the photo of that guy
698
00:40:03,567 --> 00:40:06,862
sticking daisies into rifles
of national guardsmen in protest
699
00:40:06,862 --> 00:40:09,073
of the Vietnam War?
- Yeah, the guy in the sweater.
700
00:40:09,073 --> 00:40:10,908
Don't tell me that was your dad?
701
00:40:10,908 --> 00:40:13,244
- No! No, but my dad was there
702
00:40:13,244 --> 00:40:16,122
the day that that photo was
taken. And that inspired him
703
00:40:16,122 --> 00:40:19,250
to become a war
photo journalist.
704
00:40:19,250 --> 00:40:21,001
And my mother
was a schoolteacher.
705
00:40:21,001 --> 00:40:24,046
My father respected the men
who fought for our country
706
00:40:24,046 --> 00:40:26,173
as well as the citizens
who objected to it.
707
00:40:26,173 --> 00:40:28,926
- Sounds like a very
brave and wise man.
708
00:40:28,926 --> 00:40:32,555
- Yeah, I wish I got
to know him a little better,
709
00:40:32,555 --> 00:40:35,474
but he died over Hanoi
when I was two years old.
710
00:40:35,474 --> 00:40:37,768
- Oh, sorry.
711
00:40:37,768 --> 00:40:40,271
- It's silly, really.
712
00:40:40,271 --> 00:40:44,442
How is it I manage to miss
a man I barely remember?
713
00:40:44,442 --> 00:40:47,736
- Some scars run
deeper than others.
714
00:40:47,736 --> 00:40:49,530
I think
715
00:40:49,530 --> 00:40:53,325
maybe they serve to remind us
how much the people meant to us.
716
00:40:58,622 --> 00:41:00,291
- Kylie told me.
717
00:41:00,291 --> 00:41:02,751
I'm very sorry
to hear about your wife.
718
00:41:10,759 --> 00:41:13,471
I'm curious.
719
00:41:16,515 --> 00:41:20,060
What's with the F. Scott
Fitzgerald quotation?
720
00:41:20,060 --> 00:41:23,564
He is a true
literary hero of mine.
721
00:41:23,564 --> 00:41:25,941
- Just the notion that we never
stop pursuing our goals,
722
00:41:25,941 --> 00:41:27,902
no matter what
life throws at us.
723
00:41:27,902 --> 00:41:29,737
- Nothing's impossible
till you say it is.
724
00:41:29,737 --> 00:41:33,782
- Now you're speaking my language.
- Tom, I have been speaking it
725
00:41:33,782 --> 00:41:35,826
all along.
726
00:41:35,826 --> 00:41:39,788
I can't believe
I just called you Tom.
727
00:41:39,788 --> 00:41:42,708
Is that OK?
728
00:41:42,708 --> 00:41:45,211
- It's fine. Hooah.
729
00:41:45,211 --> 00:41:47,671
- I beg your pardon?
- Oh, that's a...
730
00:41:47,671 --> 00:41:49,798
military expression.
It comes from an acronym:
731
00:41:49,798 --> 00:41:52,843
heard, understood,
acknowledged. HUA.
732
00:41:52,843 --> 00:41:55,346
- OK. So it's a good thing?
733
00:41:55,346 --> 00:41:58,349
- Yeah, it's a very good thing.
734
00:42:01,810 --> 00:42:06,440
- To never giving up.
- To never giving up.
735
00:42:13,364 --> 00:42:16,367
- Forward march!
736
00:42:34,134 --> 00:42:36,136
Come on, guys.
You heard the Colonel.
737
00:42:36,136 --> 00:42:38,180
This is supposed
to be an honour.
738
00:42:38,180 --> 00:42:42,685
- Alright, Emily.
Let's see some enthusiasm.
739
00:42:42,685 --> 00:42:44,812
- Standby!
740
00:42:46,772 --> 00:42:48,816
Colours!
741
00:43:01,870 --> 00:43:03,998
- Melanie?
742
00:43:05,916 --> 00:43:07,960
- Yes.
- Kylie called. This must
743
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,671
be for the Colonel, no?
- Actually, she wanted
744
00:43:10,671 --> 00:43:13,716
to talk to you. I guess
she wants to take you up
745
00:43:13,716 --> 00:43:17,594
on your guidance counsellor offer.
- Aw.
746
00:43:17,594 --> 00:43:19,680
- Before you go, I know the
Colonel wants to speak with you.
747
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,642
- You know what? I just really
need to clear my mind first.
748
00:43:23,642 --> 00:43:26,353
- You already had your one
yoga class this afternoon.
749
00:43:26,353 --> 00:43:28,689
- Oh, no. There is not
a downward dog deep enough
750
00:43:28,689 --> 00:43:32,568
to clear what I have
off my mind. Tell you what.
751
00:43:32,568 --> 00:43:36,905
Tell Tom he can meet me
here later, if he wants.
752
00:43:36,905 --> 00:43:39,408
Thank you.
753
00:43:42,453 --> 00:43:44,455
- "Tom"?
754
00:43:44,455 --> 00:43:47,082
♪♪
755
00:44:18,697 --> 00:44:21,158
- Sleeves, cadet.
756
00:44:26,789 --> 00:44:29,708
Melanie, do you have any
idea where Dean Foster is?
757
00:44:29,708 --> 00:44:32,211
- As a matter of fact,
I do. She said
758
00:44:32,211 --> 00:44:36,965
you should meet her there
anytime after 1800 hours.
759
00:44:36,965 --> 00:44:39,927
: That's 6:00.
760
00:44:39,927 --> 00:44:42,179
- I'm well aware.
761
00:44:55,901 --> 00:44:57,903
Since when do you play pool?
762
00:44:57,903 --> 00:45:00,697
- Since when do you ask?
763
00:45:02,366 --> 00:45:04,868
I picked up the game in college.
764
00:45:04,868 --> 00:45:06,662
Sometimes, I even
got lucky enough
765
00:45:06,662 --> 00:45:08,705
to win a little weekend funny
money playing pool at the decks.
766
00:45:08,705 --> 00:45:11,708
- Funny money?
30 years in the service,
767
00:45:11,708 --> 00:45:14,503
I've played a little myself.
- Really?
768
00:45:14,503 --> 00:45:17,965
Maybe you should break.
- You sure?
769
00:45:17,965 --> 00:45:21,135
- Be my guest.
770
00:45:31,228 --> 00:45:34,731
- Don't judge. I've got a bum
shoulder from a war injury.
771
00:45:36,817 --> 00:45:39,570
- I might know a pose or two
that would stretch that out,
772
00:45:39,570 --> 00:45:43,031
if you were willing
to open your mind to yoga.
773
00:45:43,031 --> 00:45:45,659
Corner pocket.
774
00:45:45,659 --> 00:45:49,079
- Maybe you're right. But what
about opening your mind?
775
00:45:49,079 --> 00:45:51,498
- To what?
- Your belief that my way
776
00:45:51,498 --> 00:45:54,460
of turning the Academy around
means teaching all the cadets
777
00:45:54,460 --> 00:45:57,671
to be mini soldiers.
That's not what it's about.
778
00:45:57,671 --> 00:46:00,674
- OK, enlighten me.
779
00:46:00,674 --> 00:46:03,260
Side pocket.
780
00:46:03,260 --> 00:46:06,138
- The Academy was built
on a military model
781
00:46:06,138 --> 00:46:08,432
because it teaches
self-discipline, confidence,
782
00:46:08,432 --> 00:46:10,768
leadership skills.
- Great! But what about things
783
00:46:10,768 --> 00:46:13,729
like individuality,
self-expression, creativity?
784
00:46:13,729 --> 00:46:15,606
- One doesn't
preclude the other.
785
00:46:15,606 --> 00:46:17,816
If a cadet will
pay attention to details
786
00:46:17,816 --> 00:46:20,861
like shining his shoes or making
sure his bed is squared away,
787
00:46:20,861 --> 00:46:23,947
he'll also go the extra mile
to redo that math equation
788
00:46:23,947 --> 00:46:25,949
or reread that
Shakespearian sonnet
789
00:46:25,949 --> 00:46:29,369
to make sure he understands it.
790
00:46:35,959 --> 00:46:37,794
What? Nothing?
791
00:46:37,794 --> 00:46:40,923
- I never thought about it
that way before, Tom.
792
00:46:40,923 --> 00:46:43,175
You're right.
793
00:46:44,968 --> 00:46:47,930
Now it's your turn
to bask in the glory.
794
00:46:47,930 --> 00:46:49,848
Feels good, doesn't it?
795
00:46:49,848 --> 00:46:52,184
- Feel better if it would
revive the honours ceremony.
796
00:46:52,184 --> 00:46:55,479
If I had 60 grand in
the budget for dress uniforms.
797
00:46:55,479 --> 00:46:57,481
- I'm afraid that kitty is dry.
798
00:46:57,481 --> 00:46:59,566
I barely scrounged up
enough funds
799
00:46:59,566 --> 00:47:02,611
to cover the
expense of the gala.
800
00:47:04,238 --> 00:47:07,324
- So it's impossible?
- Nothing's impossible.
801
00:47:07,324 --> 00:47:10,911
What ever happened to all that
stuff about "never give up"
802
00:47:10,911 --> 00:47:13,497
and "a soldier is born ready"?
803
00:47:14,998 --> 00:47:16,917
- Why do I feel
like I'm being taken?
804
00:47:16,917 --> 00:47:19,336
- We haven't betted anything
yet. Come on, soldier.
805
00:47:19,336 --> 00:47:22,214
Put your thinking cap on.
- We have to change the culture
806
00:47:22,214 --> 00:47:24,925
and a renewed sense of pride
would improve academics,
807
00:47:24,925 --> 00:47:28,303
the perception of the community
and thus, donations.
808
00:47:28,303 --> 00:47:30,180
- Everyone loves a cause.
809
00:47:30,180 --> 00:47:33,016
- Especially one
worth fighting for.
810
00:47:36,645 --> 00:47:39,147
Change the whole
perception of the Academy
811
00:47:39,147 --> 00:47:41,024
and up goes enrollment.
- I love it!
812
00:47:41,024 --> 00:47:43,860
Now the only question is whether
I can manage to raise the money
813
00:47:43,860 --> 00:47:47,197
for the gala and you can
whip the cadets into shape
814
00:47:47,197 --> 00:47:49,199
in time for a true
honours ceremony.
815
00:47:49,199 --> 00:47:52,035
- Wait, seriously?
We can do both?
816
00:47:52,035 --> 00:47:56,081
We have a deal?
- Sure...
817
00:47:56,081 --> 00:47:59,042
if I can sink this shot.
818
00:47:59,042 --> 00:48:03,046
- Wait! I am not staking
the future of the Academy
819
00:48:03,046 --> 00:48:05,549
on one shot.
- You expect me
820
00:48:05,549 --> 00:48:09,177
to have faith in you.
How about a little faith in me?
821
00:48:11,096 --> 00:48:13,890
- Fine. Take the shot.
822
00:48:24,151 --> 00:48:26,403
Did it go in?
823
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,199
- Hooyah.
824
00:48:34,953 --> 00:48:37,289
- Well, I have to admit,
I haven't been hustled like that
825
00:48:37,289 --> 00:48:40,417
in a long time, Caroline.
826
00:48:42,210 --> 00:48:43,754
What?
827
00:48:43,754 --> 00:48:47,007
- That's the first time
you've called me Caroline.
828
00:48:48,508 --> 00:48:52,220
- Is that OK?
- It's better than Dean Foster.
829
00:48:52,220 --> 00:48:54,348
Or ma'am.
830
00:48:54,348 --> 00:48:56,266
- OK. Well, Caroline,
831
00:48:56,266 --> 00:48:59,144
I've been meaning
to say that dinner
832
00:48:59,144 --> 00:49:01,146
the other night was fun.
833
00:49:01,146 --> 00:49:03,982
I mean, I had a good time.
834
00:49:03,982 --> 00:49:07,444
I haven't felt
like that in a while.
835
00:49:07,444 --> 00:49:10,280
- I had a nice time too.
836
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,282
- Well, good, then maybe
we should do it again.
837
00:49:12,282 --> 00:49:14,660
I mean, if you're
up for the idea.
838
00:49:14,660 --> 00:49:17,329
- Are you asking me
out on a date?
839
00:49:17,329 --> 00:49:18,997
- I guess I am.
840
00:49:18,997 --> 00:49:23,377
I'm sorry, it's been a quarter
century since I asked a girl out
841
00:49:23,377 --> 00:49:25,045
and I'm a little rusty.
842
00:49:25,045 --> 00:49:27,923
But yes, I would like
for us to go out on a date,
843
00:49:27,923 --> 00:49:31,802
a real date,
and see what happens.
844
00:49:31,802 --> 00:49:33,637
- What do you think
is gonna happen?
845
00:49:33,637 --> 00:49:37,140
- I'm not sure,
but it cannot be more awkward than it is right now.
846
00:49:37,140 --> 00:49:40,268
- One can hope.
847
00:49:40,268 --> 00:49:43,063
Yes, Tom.
848
00:49:43,063 --> 00:49:45,315
It's a date.
- Hooah.
849
00:49:45,315 --> 00:49:48,276
- Hooyah.
- No, I said simply hooah.
850
00:49:48,276 --> 00:49:50,946
- That's what I said.
- No, you said "hooyah."
851
00:49:50,946 --> 00:49:52,656
Said it that way earlier too.
- No, I didn't!
852
00:49:52,656 --> 00:49:56,410
- Just say it for me again.
- Hooyah.
853
00:49:56,410 --> 00:49:59,746
There. I said it
right that time.
854
00:50:07,587 --> 00:50:10,549
- Six! Seven! Eight! Nine!
855
00:50:10,549 --> 00:50:13,802
Come on, Keller! Pick it up!
856
00:50:19,266 --> 00:50:22,144
Cadets! Fall in!

Move, move, move!

Colonel Brennan, sir.
- Mac.
859
00:50:32,904 --> 00:50:35,532
- Attention!
860
00:50:37,659 --> 00:50:41,079
- So cadets, I know
that Sergeant McAllister
861
00:50:41,079 --> 00:50:44,249
has informed you of our plan
to revive the honours ceremony
862
00:50:44,249 --> 00:50:46,418
here at Stone Creek.
863
00:50:46,418 --> 00:50:49,588
Formulating the plan
is the easy part.
864
00:50:49,588 --> 00:50:53,717
Executing it will
require diligence,
865
00:50:53,717 --> 00:50:58,263
persistence, determination.
866
00:50:58,263 --> 00:51:01,808
And we only have a short
time to reach our goal,
867
00:51:01,808 --> 00:51:03,810
so the Sergeant and
I are going to push you
868
00:51:03,810 --> 00:51:05,687
to master some elaborate drills
869
00:51:05,687 --> 00:51:07,564
that you'll need
for the ceremony.
870
00:51:07,564 --> 00:51:11,359
I'll also be assigning ranks,
including Battalion Commander.
871
00:51:11,359 --> 00:51:13,570
- That's why I recommend
you all be at your best!
872
00:51:13,570 --> 00:51:17,199
Cadets! Fall out!
873
00:51:25,290 --> 00:51:28,126
- Colonel, sir. If possible,
874
00:51:28,126 --> 00:51:31,004
I would like to be considered
for rank of Battalion Commander.
875
00:51:31,004 --> 00:51:33,507
- That's a lot
of responsibility.
876
00:51:33,507 --> 00:51:37,761
A position typically assigned to seniors.
You really think you're up for the challenge?
877
00:51:37,761 --> 00:51:40,764
- Yes, sir. I just want
a chance to prove what I can do.
878
00:51:40,764 --> 00:51:43,016
- A big change from the young
man with the untucked shirt
879
00:51:43,016 --> 00:51:45,393
and the attitude.
- People can change, sir.
880
00:51:45,393 --> 00:51:48,855
They just need
the proper... inspiration.
881
00:51:50,607 --> 00:51:54,653
- Tell you what. I will
take it under advisement.
882
00:51:57,531 --> 00:51:59,533

$5000 would go even further.

Lovely day.
892

- Are you sure now's
a good time to talk?
893
00:53:07,017 --> 00:53:08,977
I know you're in the thick
of it at the Academy.
894
00:53:08,977 --> 00:53:11,271
- I have been on the phone
all day calling for donations
895
00:53:11,271 --> 00:53:14,357
and I would love
a chance to rest my voice
896
00:53:14,357 --> 00:53:18,069
and put my ears to work. Tea?
897
00:53:20,196 --> 00:53:23,366
Are you still thinking
about dropping out of school?
898
00:53:23,366 --> 00:53:26,411

899
00:53:26,411 --> 00:53:28,997
but I can't explain it.
900
00:53:28,997 --> 00:53:31,958
It just doesn't
feel right anymore.
901
00:53:31,958 --> 00:53:34,836
And I feel like
I'm just wasting my time
902
00:53:34,836 --> 00:53:37,380
and my dad's money on tuition.
903

to your father?
904
00:53:40,675 --> 00:53:43,219
- Oh, forget it.
Have you met my father?
905
00:53:43,219 --> 00:53:46,890
On a good day,
he's listening-challenged.
906
00:53:46,890 --> 00:53:49,559
But I shouldn't be afraid
907
00:53:49,559 --> 00:53:51,311
of doing what
I think is right for me.
908
00:53:51,311 --> 00:53:53,605
I mean, if school's not it,
then that should be
909
00:53:53,605 --> 00:53:56,066
my decision, right?
910
00:53:57,567 --> 00:53:59,569

what I think,

or do you want me to tell you
what you want to hear?
912
00:54:05,408 --> 00:54:07,452
- I guess both.
913
00:54:07,452 --> 00:54:10,789

already made up your mind.

And if that's the case,
915

I'm not the person
you should be talking to.
916
00:54:16,461 --> 00:54:20,006
- He's gonna hit the roof.
917
00:54:20,006 --> 00:54:23,259
- Look, Kylie. If you want
your father to respect you
918
00:54:23,259 --> 00:54:28,014
as an adult, then you gotta
treat him the same way.

1013
01:01:00,073 --> 01:01:02,158
and he's been
dealt a rough hand.
1014
01:01:02,158 --> 01:01:04,744
- How so?
- Father out of the picture.
1015
01:01:04,744 --> 01:01:07,080
Minor disciplinary issues
at other schools. The mother
1016
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:11,042
probably sent him here 'cause she doesn't
know what else to do with him, sir.
1017
01:01:24,764 --> 01:01:27,600
- Caroline, what's wrong?
1018
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:31,771
Listen. I'm sure we'll
find the money somehow.
1019
01:01:31,771 --> 01:01:36,192
- It's not even that. I just
got off a call with Henry.
1020
01:01:36,192 --> 01:01:38,319
The board is about
to vote on whether or not
1021
01:01:38,319 --> 01:01:40,530
to turn the Academy
over to Bremner.
1022

- And...?
1023
01:01:43,991 --> 01:01:48,371
OK. Well, that's out
of your hands, though, right?
1024
01:01:48,371 --> 01:01:50,706
You can't control
the future of the school.
1025
01:01:50,706 --> 01:01:52,875
You can just deal
with the present.
1026
01:01:52,875 --> 01:01:55,878
- Maybe you're right, Melanie.
1027
01:01:55,878 --> 01:01:57,713
Maybe we can give those cadets
1028
01:01:57,713 --> 01:02:00,049
and this place a last hurrah
they can be proud of!
1029

Colonel would say, right?

- Or...
- Where are you going?
1031
01:02:06,389 --> 01:02:08,224
- To talk to a certain Senator.
1032
01:02:08,224 --> 01:02:10,893
Here's hoping Stone Creek holds
as special a place in his heart
1033

I really appreciate you
taking this meeting with me
1036
01:02:20,820 --> 01:02:23,906
on such short notice, Senator.
- When my assistant said
1037
01:02:23,906 --> 01:02:26,868
it was about Stone Creek
Academy, I must say my ears
1038
01:02:26,868 --> 01:02:30,830
perked up. I always had quite
fond memories of my time there.
1039
01:02:30,830 --> 01:02:35,376

of the dire circumstances

surrounding the
Academy's future,
1041

but I've made it my mission
to keep the school alive.
1042
01:02:39,839 --> 01:02:42,925
- The Edgefield Foundation
is stretched out
1043
01:02:42,925 --> 01:02:44,844
to countless
organizations and causes.
1044
01:02:44,844 --> 01:02:48,514
The question boils down
to simply how many zeroes
1045
01:02:48,514 --> 01:02:50,933
and commas are between
what I'm willing to offer
1046
01:02:50,933 --> 01:02:52,602
and what you need to survive.
1047
01:02:52,602 --> 01:02:55,980
- What if I told you that what
I need from you is more valuable
1048
01:02:55,980 --> 01:03:00,359
than zeroes or commas?
1049
01:03:00,359 --> 01:03:02,445
: Hi, Tom. I'm sorry.
1050
01:03:02,445 --> 01:03:04,780
The board voted 10 to 1
to turn the Academy over

to Bremner College
after the school year.

- Nice sofa.
- Everything OK?

- That depends on
how you look at it.
1056
01:03:21,255 --> 01:03:23,508
- Well, that doesn't
sound very promising.
1057
01:03:23,508 --> 01:03:25,927
- We need to talk.
- OK...
1058
01:03:25,927 --> 01:03:28,554

you will try to listen.

Look, I know
1060
01:03:30,890 --> 01:03:33,142
this is probably going
to come as a bit of a shock,
1061
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,312

So you want to
drop out of college?

And do what?
- OK, well, don't laugh,
1068

but I think I want to take
a year off and travel Europe.

Use my advanced French
for something

other than ordering duck
à l'orange at a restaurant?
1073
01:04:11,389 --> 01:04:13,307
Or maybe I'll just use the year

to figure out what I actually
want to do with my life,

01:11:41,630 --> 01:11:43,841
on Saturday, the name
they're going to see plastered
1180
01:11:43,841 --> 01:11:46,010
on every program and every
banner is McGinty's Grill.
1181
01:11:46,010 --> 01:11:50,097
- McGinty's? That place is
a town over, in Lewiston Falls.
1182
01:11:50,097 --> 01:11:52,641
- I know. Just think what that's
going to say to your loyal
1183
01:11:52,641 --> 01:11:54,727
patrons in Stone Creek.
1184
01:11:54,727 --> 01:11:57,813
- Hold on there, soldier.
1185
01:11:57,813 --> 01:11:59,982
- Colonel, that's
incredible news.
1186
01:11:59,982 --> 01:12:03,986
Are you sure you don't want
to tell Caroline yourself?
1187
01:12:03,986 --> 01:12:06,071
- No, I'll leave that
to you, if you don't mind.
1188
01:12:06,071 --> 01:12:08,449
- OK.
- I have something else
1189
01:12:08,449 --> 01:12:09,992
I have to take care of.
1190
01:12:09,992 --> 01:12:13,037
- Well, looks like
you can scratch food
1191
01:12:13,037 --> 01:12:15,998

The Colonel just got
1192

Callahan's to cater
the entire affair.

You were right. I do try
to control everything.
1207
01:14:07,651 --> 01:14:09,528
But last night,
1208
01:14:09,528 --> 01:14:12,906
I started to realize that
it is not getting me anywhere.
1209
01:14:19,454 --> 01:14:21,540
I guess it's like...
1210
01:14:21,540 --> 01:14:26,253
how I shut down every time
you mention your mom.
1211
01:14:26,253 --> 01:14:28,839
I suppose somewhere in my head,
I think if I don't talk
1212
01:14:28,839 --> 01:14:31,300
about it, then I won't feel
1213
01:14:31,300 --> 01:14:34,553
the pain of her
not being there anymore.
1214
01:14:34,553 --> 01:14:37,556
But when you told me you were
dropping out of college...
1215
01:14:39,683 --> 01:14:41,685
...all I could think of was,
1216
01:14:41,685 --> 01:14:45,731
what would your mom say?
1217
01:14:45,731 --> 01:14:48,692
What would she do?
1218
01:14:51,487 --> 01:14:53,697
But that's not what
came out of my mouth.
1219
01:14:53,697 --> 01:14:55,657
All I could think of was...
1220
01:14:55,657 --> 01:14:59,578
I just wanted
to put life on hold.
1221
01:15:00,954 --> 01:15:05,667
The truth is, I don't know
what's right for you...
1222
01:15:07,419 --> 01:15:10,756
...any more than I know
what's right for me.

done here at the Academy.

Class of '64.
- Ah, nice to meet you.

Welcome back.
- Dean Foster was kind enough
1295
01:22:54,010 --> 01:22:58,556
to pay a visit to the Senator and make a plea on Stone Creek's behalf.
1296
01:22:58,556 --> 01:23:00,475
- She asked me to push through
legislation to have Stone Creek
1297
01:23:00,475 --> 01:23:03,311
declared a historical landmark.
1298
01:23:03,311 --> 01:23:05,814
- Some things are more
valuable than money.
1299
01:23:05,814 --> 01:23:08,400

I've seen here today,
1300

I'm making it my mission
to see that happen.
1301
01:23:10,860 --> 01:23:13,822
- So with the Academy
a historical landmark,
1302
01:23:13,822 --> 01:23:16,825
it can't be destroyed
or altered in any way?
1303
01:23:16,825 --> 01:23:19,828
- That's right.
- Thank you, Senator!
1304
01:23:19,828 --> 01:23:22,330
- I'm sure the board won't
be pleased about this,
1305
01:23:22,330 --> 01:23:24,499
but I'll make a strong bet
that this will translate
1306
01:23:24,499 --> 01:23:27,210
into job security for you both.
