FEMALE NEWSCASTER:
Roadside bombs have claimed the lives
2
00:00:12,938 --> 00:00:15,031
of eight US soldiers today in Iraq.
3
00:00:15,140 --> 00:00:17,836
Four troops were killed
when an explosion struck their vehicle
4
00:00:17,943 --> 00:00:19,672
during combat north of Baghdad,
5
00:00:19,778 --> 00:00:22,770
while an airman was killed
by another roadside bomb in Tikrit.
6
00:00:22,881 --> 00:00:25,247
Two US soldiers were killed
and three wounded
7
00:00:25,350 --> 00:00:28,808
when their unit was struck
by a roadside bomb in Baghdad.
8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,447
The death of an eighth soldier
from a non-battle-related cause
9
00:00:32,557 --> 00:00:38,154
is under investigation.
At least 3,555 members of the US military
10
00:00:38,296 --> 00:00:42,255
have died since the Iraq War
started back in 2003.
11
00:01:56,441 --> 00:01:58,671
MAN: One more, that's it.
Thank you very much.
12
00:01:58,777 --> 00:01:59,766
(CAMERA CLICKS)
13
00:02:00,946 --> 00:02:01,935
Thank you for coming in.
14
00:02:02,047 --> 00:02:04,481
- WOMAN: Thank you, sir.
- Have a good meeting, sir.
15
00:02:05,250 --> 00:02:07,684
MARCIA: Senator? Absolutely.

(SIGHS)
17
00:02:09,321 --> 00:02:11,312
He's ready for you now, Ms. Roth.
18
00:02:12,620 --> 00:02:13,712
Sorry?
19
00:02:13,821 --> 00:02:15,186
- The Senator.
- Oh!
20
00:02:18,826 --> 00:02:19,986
Okay.
21
00:02:20,094 --> 00:02:21,459
(CLEARING THROAT)
22
00:02:23,664 --> 00:02:26,360
- Hi.
- Good morning, Janine.
23
00:02:26,467 --> 00:02:28,662
Only good thing about morning
is it ends at noon.
24
00:02:28,769 --> 00:02:30,168
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
25
00:02:30,271 --> 00:02:33,638
Please, sit down.
Would you like some coffee, tea, water?
26
00:02:33,741 --> 00:02:34,833
No, thanks.
27
00:02:34,942 --> 00:02:36,307
- It's terrific to see you.
- Thank you.
28
00:02:36,410 --> 00:02:37,707
Thanks for coming in.
29
00:02:37,811 --> 00:02:39,335
- MARCIA ON INTERCOM: Senator?
- Marcia, could I have coffee, please?
30
00:02:40,681 --> 00:02:44,310
I read the story you did on the rise
of image consultants in politics.
31
00:02:44,418 --> 00:02:45,544
You did?
32
00:02:45,653 --> 00:02:49,680
I thought it was a good story, actually.
It was a different angle.
33
00:02:51,225 --> 00:02:52,192
Thank you.
34
00:02:52,293 --> 00:02:53,453
(CLEARS THROAT)
35
00:02:55,229 --> 00:02:57,197
Are we waiting for your PR pit bull, or...
36
00:02:57,298 --> 00:02:59,232
- No. Just you and me.
- Oh.
37
00:02:59,333 --> 00:03:03,633
- No one to intercept your trick questions.
- One-on-one time. Wow.
38
00:03:03,804 --> 00:03:05,704
You were the first to call me
the future of my party,
39
00:03:05,806 --> 00:03:07,398
and this is me returning the favor.
40
00:03:07,508 --> 00:03:09,669
Well, it wasn't a favor.
It was just how I saw it eight years ago.
41
00:03:09,777 --> 00:03:13,611
- Well, nonetheless, grateful.
- And considering the state of your party,
42
00:03:13,714 --> 00:03:15,147
how do you know the tag isn't pejorative?
43
00:03:15,249 --> 00:03:16,307
(LAUGHS)
44
00:03:17,251 --> 00:03:19,276
- 'Cause I got 77% of the vote.
- Oh, yeah.
45
00:03:19,386 --> 00:03:20,512
(BOTH LAUGH)
46
00:03:20,621 --> 00:03:22,589
- How could I forget?
- Yes.
47
00:03:24,625 --> 00:03:26,183
You're aware that
I'm doing this time line about this...
48
00:03:26,293 --> 00:03:29,592
Yeah, you're doing
a detailed time line on the War on Terror,
49
00:03:29,697 --> 00:03:31,858
and I bet, if it's like every other time line
that's come out this past year,
50
00:03:31,966 --> 00:03:33,126
(COMPUTER CHIRPS)
51
00:03:33,233 --> 00:03:38,034
It'll be the opening salvo of a much
larger retrospective of mistakes made.
52
00:03:38,138 --> 00:03:42,768
- Or it could just be a simple list of facts.
- From which you all will pick and choose.
53
00:03:42,943 --> 00:03:45,173
- You don't trust us.
- I trust you.
54
00:03:45,279 --> 00:03:48,942
- And that's why we're here.
- To discuss what, exactly?
55
00:03:49,216 --> 00:03:52,708
To see if you'd like to write
an honest-to-God story again,
56
00:03:53,854 --> 00:03:55,378
instead of reminding
the few paying attention
57
00:03:55,489 --> 00:03:58,583
that we've been fighting a tough war
for six years.
58
00:03:58,759 --> 00:04:00,351
Who gets the Peabody for that?
59
00:04:00,461 --> 00:04:01,621
(CHUCKLING)
60
00:04:03,630 --> 00:04:04,790
What's the story?
61
00:04:04,898 --> 00:04:08,390
It's about a new plan going into motion
in Afghanistan.
62
00:04:09,403 --> 00:04:13,669
- Afghanistan? A new plan?
- A new plan that will win both the war
63
00:04:13,774 --> 00:04:17,801
and, as cliché as this might sound,
the hearts and minds of the people.
64
00:04:20,314 --> 00:04:21,303
What's the plan?
65
00:04:21,415 --> 00:04:23,110
Obviously, I won't be at liberty
to tell you everything.
66
00:04:23,217 --> 00:04:24,241
National security, of course.
67
00:04:24,351 --> 00:04:26,319
But enough so that
you might write a story
68
00:04:26,420 --> 00:04:29,856
about what we're doing
in Afghanistan now.
69
00:04:29,957 --> 00:04:31,982
Not six years ago, but now,
70
00:04:32,092 --> 00:04:34,424
and how those efforts
can culminate into actual victory.
71
00:04:34,795 --> 00:04:35,955
Uh-huh.
72
00:04:36,263 --> 00:04:38,356
- What is this?
- This?
73
00:04:38,465 --> 00:04:39,489
(CHUCKLES)
74
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,033
This meeting.
75
00:04:41,201 --> 00:04:45,831
This is my honest effort
to keep the press better informed.
76
00:04:47,274 --> 00:04:49,902
And to change the subject
from the past to the future.
77
00:04:50,577 --> 00:04:54,707
Acknowledge mistakes and talk openly
about ways of fixing them,
78
00:04:55,582 --> 00:04:58,483
step by step.
79
00:04:59,936 --> 00:05:02,803
- How much time do we have together?
- I have till 11:00.
80
00:05:02,905 --> 00:05:07,308
The whole hour? Wow.
You all must be panicked.
81
00:05:07,410 --> 00:05:09,275
Oh, no, no, no. We're determined.

(CLEARS THROAT)
84
00:05:29,802 --> 00:05:31,429
- Listen up.
- ALL: Hooah!
85
00:05:31,537 --> 00:05:32,595
Lieutenant Finch, you and your boys good?
86
00:05:32,705 --> 00:05:33,865
Roger that, sir.
87
00:05:33,973 --> 00:05:36,203
- How's that knee?
- Ready for that 15-mile hike.
88
00:05:36,308 --> 00:05:38,902
- Glad to hear it. Rodriguez?
- All up, sir.
89
00:05:39,011 --> 00:05:42,174
All right, good. I want you to take notes,
I want you to ask questions.
90
00:05:42,281 --> 00:05:44,977
Good news first. Al Qaeda and the Taliban
91
00:05:45,084 --> 00:05:47,245
have been whittled down
to small wolf packs,
92
00:05:47,353 --> 00:05:50,083
so do not believe everything
you read in the papers.
93
00:05:50,189 --> 00:05:53,056
We've successfully pounded the enemy
into something much smaller
94
00:05:53,158 --> 00:05:54,955
and more impotent
than when we first got here.
95
00:05:55,060 --> 00:05:59,053
That's good. The bad news.
We have yet to step on their throats.
96
00:05:59,164 --> 00:06:02,930
We've yet to close.
The longer we don't, the harder it gets.
97
00:06:03,035 --> 00:06:04,696
Remember your von Clausewitz,
98
00:06:04,803 --> 00:06:08,534
"Never engage the same enemy
for too long, or he will..."
99
00:06:08,641 --> 00:06:11,405
- Adapt to your tactics, sir.
- He will adapt to your tactics.
100
00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:16,277
That is correct.
Case in point, INTSUM is reporting
101
00:06:16,382 --> 00:06:20,318
that Al Qaeda in the Badakhshan province
is attempting to open up a new front.
102
00:06:20,419 --> 00:06:21,852
Locals up there can't handle the fight, sir?
103
00:06:21,954 --> 00:06:23,114
See, that's really the whole problem.
104
00:06:23,222 --> 00:06:25,986
There's nobody up there strong enough
to fight this enemy,
105
00:06:26,091 --> 00:06:29,322
and Karzai sure as shit ain't gonna
let any of these guys go home now.
106
00:06:29,428 --> 00:06:30,986
Sir, why is the enemy doing this now?
107
00:06:31,096 --> 00:06:32,893
What is clearly happening
is that the enemy
108
00:06:32,998 --> 00:06:34,363
is bent on establishing themselves
109
00:06:34,466 --> 00:06:36,832
as a legitimate fighting force
for the people again.
110
00:06:36,935 --> 00:06:39,267
Sir, these guys don't grow on trees.
So where they coming from?
111
00:06:39,371 --> 00:06:42,272
They're going door to door. They're asking
families to give up their sons.
112
00:06:42,441 --> 00:06:45,501
If they don't give up their sons, their sons
are executed in front of the families.
113
00:06:45,611 --> 00:06:48,876
That's number one. Number two is Iraq.
114
00:06:48,981 --> 00:06:51,506
Qaeda and the Tali are starting to
funnel battle-tested fighters...
115
00:06:51,617 --> 00:06:52,914
Funnel through where, though, sir?
116
00:06:53,018 --> 00:06:55,111
Well, that I can't tell you.
I ain't gonna answer that question.
117
00:06:56,388 --> 00:06:58,822
'Cause you already know too much.
118
00:07:00,159 --> 00:07:04,459
So, Jihadi and Wahhabi terrorists
are moving through Shiite territory, sir?
119
00:07:04,563 --> 00:07:07,828
Suffice it to say, the enemy is getting
stronger and the enemy is getting uglier.
120
00:07:07,933 --> 00:07:10,595
It is time for us to get back
into their fucking kitchen.
121
00:07:10,703 --> 00:07:12,796
We are gonna put our foot
on their throats.
122
00:07:12,905 --> 00:07:16,068
You are going to air assault
into the Badakhshan province.
123
00:07:16,175 --> 00:07:19,042
You will set up an operating camp
here at Pamela Left,
124
00:07:19,144 --> 00:07:20,611
a forward operating point.

An 8,000-foot peak offering
360 degree views of the valley below.
126
00:07:24,983 --> 00:07:27,781
The enemy is gonna want it
just as badly as we do,
127
00:07:27,886 --> 00:07:31,322
so we've been ordered to take it first,
before the snow thaws.

you'll see there's a suitable LZ.

- Roger that, sir.
- Hooah.
131
00:07:35,828 --> 00:07:39,161
You will set up camp, you will set up
comms, you will set up sat links.
132
00:07:39,264 --> 00:07:42,461
You will patiently wait, and if
fortunate enough to engage the enemy,
133
00:07:42,568 --> 00:07:45,093
you will introduce them to
the full measure of American Mean.

- Are we clear?
- ALL: Hooah.

making me bring you some coffee.

look at that shirt.

- Yeah? Well, well, I take it all back, then.
- Yeah, please.

to come in this early with a gift?

Well, you know, my sporadic absences.
148
00:09:00,029 --> 00:09:03,658
Kind of sounds like the title of a book
about your semester so far, doesn't it?

- Wow, just like all my other classes...

00:09:32,328 --> 00:09:34,523
- Hey. Well, hail to the chief.
- Uh-huh.
159
00:09:34,631 --> 00:09:36,531
Come on, now.
You were in a house. Right?
160
00:09:36,633 --> 00:09:38,430
- Yeah.
- Gotta remember how busy it can get.
161
00:09:38,534 --> 00:09:40,968
Oh, yeah. With the four-day weekends
and the 30-minute study sessions.
162
00:09:41,070 --> 00:09:44,267
- Yeah, no. That's not what I mean.
- Well, you asked me what I remembered.
163
00:09:44,374 --> 00:09:46,069
All right. So, what?
You don't think that school
164
00:09:46,175 --> 00:09:50,134
should be as social as it is academic,
kinda like getting two educations?
165
00:09:50,246 --> 00:09:53,579
Well, I think if you can't balance the two,
you shouldn't be here.
166
00:09:53,683 --> 00:09:56,117
I also think that most of the kids
that argue that one out loud
167
00:09:56,219 --> 00:10:00,986
are the guys with the 2.4s trying to justify
30 grand a year for all those C's.
168
00:10:04,093 --> 00:10:06,118
Okay, my friend.
169
00:10:06,229 --> 00:10:08,891
You've aced a lot of the exams
you've shown up for,
170
00:10:09,065 --> 00:10:11,829
but you've only been
to eight classes this semester.
171
00:10:11,934 --> 00:10:15,927
Now, that'd be a hall of fame run,
if we only met once a week.
172
00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:20,135
So, attendance is part of my grade
all of a sudden?
173
00:10:22,912 --> 00:10:25,278
Hey, Todd?
174
00:10:26,115 --> 00:10:28,276
Would you take a solid B
for the rest of this semester?
175
00:10:30,286 --> 00:10:34,086
No plus, no minus,
just a straight blue-collar B?
176
00:10:35,191 --> 00:10:38,558
I'll get that to you. Right here. Right now.
177
00:10:39,228 --> 00:10:42,527
- It's no bullshit.
- A B for what?
178
00:10:42,632 --> 00:10:44,998
For not coming to another class.
179
00:10:45,101 --> 00:10:47,626
For not writing or reading one word
I assign to you.
180
00:10:47,737 --> 00:10:49,762
For not signing up for
any more of my classes
181
00:10:49,872 --> 00:10:51,464
for the rest of your time here.
182
00:10:53,476 --> 00:10:57,776
- A B for nothing, huh?
- You nod yes, and this meeting's over.
183
00:10:59,348 --> 00:11:01,043
Half the fucking class
would kill for that deal.
184
00:11:01,150 --> 00:11:03,812
But I'm not meeting with any of them.
185
00:11:05,188 --> 00:11:07,247
- Think I know what you're doing.
- There's another deal. Two parts.
186
00:11:07,356 --> 00:11:10,120
Both non-negotiable. First part,
187
00:11:10,359 --> 00:11:13,692
you show up every day, every class,
from here on out.
188
00:11:13,996 --> 00:11:15,759
And second, you sit there
and you let me tell you
189
00:11:15,865 --> 00:11:18,925
about the last two kids
I had that gave me hope.
190
00:11:19,035 --> 00:11:22,198
Maybe that'll explain
why I called you in this morning.
191
00:11:32,281 --> 00:11:34,647

what are you guys doing?
192

more afraid of clouds than bullets?

- 'Cause I'd rather take a bullet than a fall.
- You think you fast?

(EX CLAIMS)
206
00:12:19,529 --> 00:12:22,225
JANINE: This is a very high-minded goal
you've set for yourselves in Afghanistan.
207
00:12:22,331 --> 00:12:23,764
IRVING: Yes, it is a high-minded goal.
208
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,461
But this goal for the future of Afghanistan
is just a lot of hot air,
209
00:12:28,571 --> 00:12:30,903
unless we solve the military problem first.
210
00:12:31,007 --> 00:12:33,908
Our Special Forces soldiers
are going to take the high ground
211
00:12:34,010 --> 00:12:37,002
in key positions throughout Afghanistan
before the snow thaws,
212
00:12:37,113 --> 00:12:38,580
allowing the enemy mobility.
213
00:12:38,681 --> 00:12:41,445
And the military part
has to come first, why?
214
00:12:41,551 --> 00:12:44,042
Because only after
we've eradicated the enemy
215
00:12:44,187 --> 00:12:46,485
can we then get down to
the true nuts-and-bolts work
216
00:12:46,589 --> 00:12:48,147
of keeping this new democracy breathing.
217
00:12:48,257 --> 00:12:49,952
So it's basically kill people to help people?
218
00:12:50,059 --> 00:12:51,959
No. No, that's not what I said.
219
00:12:52,061 --> 00:12:54,894
I said "the enemy."
Don't take that out of context.
220
00:12:54,997 --> 00:12:57,124
- Sorry, I was just trying to...
- Yeah, I know what you're trying...
221
00:12:57,233 --> 00:12:59,997
...boil it down. So, in 2002,
I remember you said something like,
222
00:13:00,102 --> 00:13:03,128
"The Taliban's back is forever broken."
And then big applause.
223
00:13:03,239 --> 00:13:04,638
- "Mission accomplished."
- Right.
224
00:13:04,740 --> 00:13:07,140
Writ small.
225
00:13:07,243 --> 00:13:08,938
- Mistake.
- Mistake?
226
00:13:09,045 --> 00:13:12,310
Because we now know the enemy
with broken backs can still crawl.
227
00:13:12,415 --> 00:13:16,283
And we also know that the enemy learned
their lesson from that first back-breaking.
228
00:13:16,385 --> 00:13:20,515
So, you're taking for granted
there's gonna be a second back-breaking?
229
00:13:20,623 --> 00:13:23,091
Would we be having this meeting
if I didn't?
230
00:13:23,192 --> 00:13:25,456
Is this how the rest of the hour's
gonna go, Janine?
231
00:13:25,561 --> 00:13:27,222
(STAMMERING) I'm just asking questions.
232
00:13:27,330 --> 00:13:29,195
Senator, can you just give me
one example
233
00:13:29,298 --> 00:13:31,994
of the enemy having learned a lesson?
234
00:13:32,101 --> 00:13:34,228
They've woken up to the fact
that we're fighting on two fronts.
235
00:13:34,337 --> 00:13:35,326
Uh-huh?
236
00:13:35,438 --> 00:13:38,805
And history does tend to punish
that kind of hubris, right?
237
00:13:38,908 --> 00:13:43,641
So, we're launching this new strategy
using the military as the opening punch.
238
00:13:43,746 --> 00:13:46,510
Taking the high ground is key.
239
00:13:46,616 --> 00:13:51,485
Whoever takes it owns the ability
to observe, the prerogative to attack
240
00:13:51,587 --> 00:13:55,250
- and the opportunity to preside.
- So... Preside?
241
00:13:55,358 --> 00:13:57,155
It's why the Romans built forts.
242
00:13:57,260 --> 00:14:00,252
You establish a constant presence,
or you'll have constant violence.
243
00:14:00,363 --> 00:14:03,389
So, we're gonna be there for good,
like Romans?
244
00:14:05,468 --> 00:14:08,960
- I said constant, not permanent.
- Oh.
245
00:14:09,071 --> 00:14:12,336
We have to have the same patience
and determination as these insurgents,
246
00:14:12,441 --> 00:14:14,170
or they'll simply outlast us.
247
00:14:14,277 --> 00:14:16,768
And this security allows us
to build those schools and the clinics.
248
00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:19,279
- It's going to bring clean water supply...
- But where's NATO in all this?
249
00:14:19,382 --> 00:14:22,215
Good question. Where are they?
We can't wait for them to decide
250
00:14:22,318 --> 00:14:25,219
when they might act, so we put
this new strategy into motion now.
251
00:14:25,321 --> 00:14:29,087
And why now? Why not a year ago?
Two years, three years?
252
00:14:29,191 --> 00:14:34,754
Two reasons. First reason, the satellites
and drones are not nearly as omniscient
253
00:14:35,064 --> 00:14:36,998
- as they're marketed to be.
- Anybody knows that.
254
00:14:37,099 --> 00:14:38,726
You just Google "Predator"
or "Global Hawk"...
255
00:14:38,834 --> 00:14:41,029
- The second reason's ugly.
- Ugly?
256
00:14:41,137 --> 00:14:44,072
- What is that, code for "off the record"?
- For the time being, yeah.
257
00:14:46,366 --> 00:14:47,333
(CLICKS PEN)
258
00:14:47,801 --> 00:14:50,565
- Okay.
- Iran.
259
00:14:50,671 --> 00:14:52,605
Iran? What are they doing now?
260
00:14:52,706 --> 00:14:55,800
Outside of building nuclear weapons,
talking to North Korea,
261
00:14:55,909 --> 00:14:59,310
and telling Israel they don't know
what a real Holocaust looks like?
262
00:15:00,247 --> 00:15:03,705
They're allowing Wahhabi insurgents
to hike from Iraq to Afghanistan
263
00:15:03,817 --> 00:15:05,876
using the most direct route possible.
264
00:15:06,386 --> 00:15:08,217
Across the countryside of Iran.
265
00:15:11,855 --> 00:15:14,255
- Is that confirmed?
- By their denials.
266
00:15:14,357 --> 00:15:16,450
Proof there truly is a new axis of evil.
267
00:15:17,260 --> 00:15:18,284
Wow.
268
00:15:18,395 --> 00:15:22,195
1,300 years of murder between the Sunnis
and Shias getting back-burnered now
269
00:15:22,299 --> 00:15:25,029
so they can kill more Americans
in more places.
270
00:15:25,135 --> 00:15:27,968
Hey, are we still off the record?
Because this really is...
271
00:15:28,071 --> 00:15:30,369
- This is a story.
- That's negotiable.
272
00:15:30,540 --> 00:15:33,873
You see what I'm saying?
These radicals are uniting against us.
273
00:15:35,245 --> 00:15:38,237
Now, we need to remind the American
people who their enemies are.
274
00:15:38,348 --> 00:15:41,715
Okay, you have proof that they are uniting
against us, or are you saying
275
00:15:41,818 --> 00:15:43,149
that there may be some potential
at some point...
276
00:15:43,253 --> 00:15:45,050
No, no, no. Don't, don't, don't
underestimate how frightening
277
00:15:45,155 --> 00:15:46,918
a development this is.
278
00:15:47,023 --> 00:15:50,083
Now, this is a significant threat
to the security of our nation,
279
00:15:50,193 --> 00:15:52,354
and you can quote me on this.
280
00:15:52,929 --> 00:15:56,626
Now that Iran has nuclear potential,
we simply cannot allow this to escalate.
281
00:15:56,733 --> 00:15:59,224
When you say nuclear, it just sounds
like the same kind of fear-mongering
282
00:15:59,336 --> 00:16:00,325
that led up to...
283
00:16:00,437 --> 00:16:04,567

of that opinion. Mine does not.

00:18:28,752 --> 00:18:29,776
(CRASHING)
323
00:18:51,541 --> 00:18:54,977
- TODD: What are their names again?
- Ernest and Arian.
324
00:18:55,078 --> 00:18:57,444
Wait. Like "Master Race" Aryan?
325
00:18:57,547 --> 00:19:00,277
Well, he spelled it with an "l"
instead of a "Y." What's your point?
326
00:19:00,383 --> 00:19:02,578
- You looked up "irony," huh?
- What?
327
00:19:02,685 --> 00:19:05,017
You know? A guy named Arian,
he could only be
328
00:19:06,456 --> 00:19:07,548
African American.
329
00:19:07,657 --> 00:19:11,923
What difference does that make?
Stay focused on the American part.
330
00:19:12,028 --> 00:19:14,155
All right.
331
00:19:14,264 --> 00:19:15,288
So they played ball, huh?
332
00:19:15,398 --> 00:19:17,958
It was the only way
they could afford to come here.
333
00:19:18,068 --> 00:19:19,797
Scholarship athletes?
334
00:19:19,903 --> 00:19:22,428
You wanna come up with two guys
more different than me?
335
00:19:25,708 --> 00:19:26,902
What?
336
00:19:27,010 --> 00:19:30,002
You know, professors aren't teachers,
they're salesmen.
337
00:19:30,113 --> 00:19:33,879
- (CHUCKLING) Okay. So what do you sell?
- You, to you.
338
00:19:33,983 --> 00:19:37,043
But, you know, you don't have to
do me any favors, Doc.
339
00:19:37,153 --> 00:19:40,680
- And why is that, Todd?
- Why don't you have to do me any favors?
340
00:19:40,790 --> 00:19:42,724
Why don't you care anymore?
341
00:19:46,029 --> 00:19:48,930
Well, how do you know I cared before?
Just because I showed up to your class?
342
00:19:49,032 --> 00:19:52,468
Yeah. You not only showed up,
you got involved.
343
00:19:52,769 --> 00:19:55,829
You read everything I assigned.
You were hungry.
344
00:19:56,005 --> 00:19:58,735
You leaned into those lectures.
You went for the jugular in every debate.
345
00:19:58,842 --> 00:20:00,639
Now my question to you is,
why not anymore?
346
00:20:00,743 --> 00:20:04,702
I already answered you. A lot of things.
Girls, fraternity, a social life...
347
00:20:04,814 --> 00:20:07,282
Bullshit. Come on. Hey, Todd, come on.
348
00:20:09,319 --> 00:20:11,844
Go on.
349
00:20:11,955 --> 00:20:17,052
- Don't wanna hurt your feelings.
- Hey, we got an hour.
350
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,095
Don't waste a second on worrying about
my feelings. I'm not worrying about yours.
351
00:20:20,196 --> 00:20:21,185
(EX CLAIMS SARCASTICALLY)
352
00:20:21,297 --> 00:20:23,265
Thanks. You should write Hallmark cards.
353
00:20:23,366 --> 00:20:24,333
(CHUCKLES)
354
00:20:25,568 --> 00:20:28,469
Okay, go on.
355
00:20:29,005 --> 00:20:31,064
- Say it.
- All right, all right.
356
00:20:34,244 --> 00:20:36,235
Political science, Doc...
357
00:20:38,281 --> 00:20:40,772
What's scientific about it,
outside of maybe the psychology
358
00:20:40,884 --> 00:20:44,980
behind how much shit
voters will swallow before they notice?
359
00:20:45,522 --> 00:20:48,753
Science part, it's really
only about how to win.
360
00:20:49,025 --> 00:20:52,324
Not how to govern, not how to make
anybody any better, just how to win.
361
00:20:52,428 --> 00:20:55,556
No matter how stupid or two-faced
or criminal you gotta make yourself look.
362
00:20:55,665 --> 00:21:00,659
- Give me an example.
- Okay, like presidential candidates now.
363
00:21:00,770 --> 00:21:04,001
They announce their candidacy
by standing in front of a large audience
364
00:21:04,107 --> 00:21:07,076
and loudly saying
they will not run for president. You know?
365
00:21:07,177 --> 00:21:09,042
- (CHUCKLES) Yeah, I do.
- Yeah. What is that shit?
366
00:21:09,145 --> 00:21:11,636
- It's as old as time.
- No, I don't think so.
367
00:21:11,748 --> 00:21:14,808
'Cause you... Okay, you had me when
we were studying the old philosophers.
368
00:21:15,518 --> 00:21:19,716
Greeks? I mean, Doc, you had me.
They were awesome.
369
00:21:19,822 --> 00:21:20,914
But somewhere...
370
00:21:21,624 --> 00:21:22,613
(SIGHS)
371
00:21:22,725 --> 00:21:23,987
Somewhere you lost me. I don't know.
372
00:21:24,093 --> 00:21:25,993
- Have you ever been to Greece?
- No.
373
00:21:26,095 --> 00:21:27,289
No, of course not. Otherwise you'd know,
374
00:21:27,397 --> 00:21:30,628
their government makes ours look
like a streamlined vision of the future.
375
00:21:31,467 --> 00:21:33,458
Well, isn't that my point?
376
00:21:34,103 --> 00:21:36,936
Socrates, Plato, Aristotle.
They can't fix things,
377
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,873
- what the hell is Todd Hayes gonna do?
- Bitch. Quit.
378
00:21:39,976 --> 00:21:41,967
Hey, look, I'm gonna pay my taxes.
All right?
379
00:21:42,078 --> 00:21:43,670
I'm gonna obey traffic lights.
I'm gonna give...
380
00:21:43,780 --> 00:21:46,408
Gee. That's super.
I was thinking about something bigger.
381
00:21:47,517 --> 00:21:51,283
Something bigger? Bigger like what?
Like, like "be a congressman" bigger?
382
00:21:51,487 --> 00:21:54,547
- (CHUCKLING) Well, that's bigger.
- Oh, yeah. Super.
383
00:21:54,657 --> 00:21:56,181
And then I get to be
one of those turds in DC,
384
00:21:56,292 --> 00:21:59,523
and I do mean pure pieces of shit,
who make our laws?
385
00:21:59,629 --> 00:22:02,792
I get to be a dough boy who parts his hair
the same side as everyone else.
386
00:22:02,899 --> 00:22:05,891
The guy who never says anything
even though he never stops talking.
387
00:22:06,002 --> 00:22:09,460
Do I get to be the guy
who lectures you on morality
388
00:22:09,572 --> 00:22:14,066
while a page jacks me off under the table?
Yeah, please.
389
00:22:14,177 --> 00:22:16,372
The guy who funnels away a million
that doesn't belong to him
390
00:22:16,479 --> 00:22:18,538
and then bawls like an evangelist
when he gets caught.
391
00:22:18,648 --> 00:22:20,980
And how many never get caught, Doc?
392
00:22:21,084 --> 00:22:24,679
Hey, if that's something bigger than
being a good Joe with a good job,
393
00:22:24,787 --> 00:22:27,779
fuck it. Yeah, that's where you lost me.
394
00:22:34,297 --> 00:22:36,822
You almost convinced me.
395
00:22:38,968 --> 00:22:41,095
- Almost convinced me.
- (SCOFFING) What?
396
00:22:41,204 --> 00:22:44,230
That you really know
what you're talking about.
397
00:22:44,340 --> 00:22:46,171
You're great with words, Todd.
398
00:22:46,276 --> 00:22:49,541
But you know what would make them
even better is that they had a heartbeat.
399
00:22:49,646 --> 00:22:52,342
If they were rooted
in any kind of experience.
400
00:22:52,448 --> 00:22:55,906
If you had knocked on doors, licked
envelopes, been to a damn public rally.
401
00:22:56,786 --> 00:22:58,981
Just put yourself on the line
in any meaningful way.
402
00:22:59,088 --> 00:23:01,750
Licking envelopes.
That's putting myself on the line, huh?
403
00:23:01,858 --> 00:23:03,655
Infinitely more than just talking.
404

Ernie?
408
00:24:05,121 --> 00:24:06,486
Brother!
409
00:24:09,325 --> 00:24:11,885
- Pamela Left is hot.
- How hot?
410
00:24:11,994 --> 00:24:14,986
- Chinook took hits from small arms, RPGs.
- You talking to the pilots?
411
00:24:15,098 --> 00:24:16,725
And they have dead
and wounded on board.
412
00:24:16,833 --> 00:24:17,925
And they didn't land at their objective.
413
00:24:18,034 --> 00:24:20,832
- Where did they land?
- Three kilometers south on the plateau.
414
00:24:20,937 --> 00:24:23,337
Chopper's fucked for good.
Two men missing.
415
00:24:23,439 --> 00:24:26,840
- Missing? Lead with that, who's missing?
- Finch and Rodriguez.
416
00:24:26,943 --> 00:24:29,844
Consensus on the chopper
is that they fell out over a small ridge
417
00:24:29,946 --> 00:24:31,413
short of the planned LZ.
418
00:24:31,514 --> 00:24:34,278
No guessing on whether or not
they survived.

(SHIVERING)
420
00:24:46,829 --> 00:24:48,456
Ernie?
421
00:24:50,433 --> 00:24:53,061
Brother?
422
00:24:55,972 --> 00:24:57,573
Arian? You fucking idiot.
423
00:24:57,573 --> 00:25:00,041
Arian? You fucking idiot.
424
00:25:01,444 --> 00:25:03,844
ARIAN: How bad are you?
425
00:25:04,981 --> 00:25:06,107
(GASPS)

00:25:06,516 --> 00:25:07,813
(GROANING)
427
00:25:09,786 --> 00:25:12,346
ERNEST: Bad! Can you get to me?
428
00:25:14,223 --> 00:25:15,554
(GRUNTING)
429
00:25:18,161 --> 00:25:21,494
I'm stuck. My leg's jammed.
430
00:25:23,332 --> 00:25:26,028
- Hang on!
- FALCO: I'll launch the rescue chopper.
431
00:25:26,135 --> 00:25:29,298
Get them in the air but vector them
halfway between Pamela Left and us.
432
00:25:29,405 --> 00:25:31,305
We are not gonna put them
in that same gauntlet.
433
00:25:31,407 --> 00:25:33,375
Put them in a holding pattern
till we know what's going on.
434
00:25:33,476 --> 00:25:35,137
Can we see anything?
You got a Predator up?
435
00:25:35,244 --> 00:25:37,041
I don't know for how long.
Cold front's still coming.
436
00:25:37,146 --> 00:25:39,774
G2 says it's packing big snow,
maybe 70-mile-an-hour winds. It's fucked.
437
00:25:39,882 --> 00:25:42,350
All right, I want to see as much as I can
for as long as I can.
438
00:25:42,452 --> 00:25:44,283
What's the ETA
on getting a fast mover out there?
439
00:25:44,387 --> 00:25:47,185
I got a Warthog that'll take
20, 25 minutes to get out there,
440
00:25:47,290 --> 00:25:49,224
- but the margin of safety...
- Just scramble it, do it.
441
00:25:49,325 --> 00:25:51,555
I would love to talk to the motherfucker
442
00:25:51,661 --> 00:25:53,128
that said this mountaintop was secure.
443
00:25:53,663 --> 00:25:56,598
IRVING: Afghan terrain demands
that small specialized teams
444
00:25:56,799 --> 00:25:58,767
establish forward operating points.
445
00:25:58,868 --> 00:26:03,168
I've heard of "forward operating bases,"
but not "forward operating points."
446
00:26:03,272 --> 00:26:06,298
- "Point" sounds smaller than "base."
- Because it is.
447
00:26:07,577 --> 00:26:11,104
- What? Just, come on, say it.
- Sorry, no. I just...
448
00:26:11,981 --> 00:26:15,576
- It also sounds like Pentagonese for "bait."
- Janine.
449
00:26:15,685 --> 00:26:19,553
It's not like we're putting one or two guys
on the mountain here. All right?
450
00:26:19,655 --> 00:26:21,782
- But small is how we fight now.
- Mmm-hmm.
451
00:26:21,891 --> 00:26:25,258
- Says the man in the air-conditioned room.
- This is a fight that we're in.
452
00:26:25,361 --> 00:26:28,524
And, unfortunately,
civilizations do not sustain themselves
453
00:26:28,631 --> 00:26:30,690
- through nonviolent responses.
- What does that mean?
454
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,531
Are you going to now forgo diplomacy
and State Department treaties, too?
455
00:26:34,637 --> 00:26:36,298
We were attacked.
456
00:26:36,405 --> 00:26:39,431
You do not respond to an attack
with diplomacy.
457
00:26:40,276 --> 00:26:43,803
Bin Laden's idea of diplomacy
is not filming the beheadings.
458
00:26:43,913 --> 00:26:46,973
Saddam violated 16 UN resolutions
and the UN responded
459
00:26:47,083 --> 00:26:49,813
by issuing thirty-plus
sternly worded statements
460
00:26:49,919 --> 00:26:53,150
condemning his behavior.
All the while France, China and Russia
461
00:26:53,256 --> 00:26:55,121
continued to trade with Saddam
under the table.
462
00:26:55,224 --> 00:26:57,522
And didn't we also arm Saddam
in the '80s?
463
00:26:57,627 --> 00:26:59,959
- But here we are now.
- Yes, here we are now.
464
00:27:00,062 --> 00:27:02,724
And don't you think it might be critical
to examine how we got to this point?
465
00:27:02,832 --> 00:27:06,563
How and why is not the issue now.
We have to move forward.
466
00:27:06,669 --> 00:27:11,265
We're fighting a brand of evil that thinks
the last 1,300 years of human progress
467
00:27:11,374 --> 00:27:14,241
is heresy punishable by violent death.
468
00:27:14,343 --> 00:27:16,573
Now, if that's something that you
don't feel should be wiped...
469
00:27:16,679 --> 00:27:19,842
Me? I would like to see bin Laden
dead and gone as much as anybody,
470
00:27:19,949 --> 00:27:23,544
but I just don't understand how
you can not want to look at the past.
471
00:27:23,653 --> 00:27:27,521
- Not think it's critical.
- What is critical, what is relevant,
472
00:27:27,823 --> 00:27:31,691
is the implementation
of a new strategy that will win this war.
473
00:27:32,328 --> 00:27:35,593
- A war we cannot lose.
- But we're not winning it.
474
00:27:35,698 --> 00:27:39,361
Yet. This new strategy can change that.
475
00:27:39,502 --> 00:27:41,800
How about a strategy
to bring the troops home?
476
00:27:46,909 --> 00:27:49,104
- So leave?
- That's not an option?
477
00:27:54,050 --> 00:27:57,816
Okay, let's play this out.
478
00:27:58,154 --> 00:28:02,420
We walk and Afghanistan
reverts back to the Taliban.
479
00:28:03,426 --> 00:28:05,986
Only now the Taliban
has metastasized into something
480
00:28:06,095 --> 00:28:07,892
infinitely more vicious and potent
481
00:28:07,997 --> 00:28:11,160
because they're now
2-0 versus superpowers.
482
00:28:11,267 --> 00:28:12,928
They butcher the people
who helped us, who voted,
483
00:28:13,035 --> 00:28:15,868
who were stupid enough
to put their faith in our word.
484
00:28:15,972 --> 00:28:18,873
So call it not only the end of hope
for tens of millions of Afghans
485
00:28:18,975 --> 00:28:21,000
but the end of American credibility,
486
00:28:21,110 --> 00:28:23,943
the end of America as a force
for righteousness in the world.
487
00:28:24,046 --> 00:28:25,877
- When did America become...
- And when we're forced to go back
488
00:28:25,982 --> 00:28:28,348
in a couple of years,
and please quote me on this,
489
00:28:28,451 --> 00:28:30,146
we'll be squared off against
a shattered Iraq,
490
00:28:30,252 --> 00:28:33,710
a hopeless Afghanistan, and a nuclear Iran.
491
00:28:34,657 --> 00:28:36,215
How many troops are we gonna need then?
492
00:28:36,325 --> 00:28:38,316
I guarantee you'll be adding some zeros.
493
00:28:38,427 --> 00:28:39,416
(CHUCKLES)
494
00:28:39,528 --> 00:28:43,020
Wait. May I speak freely?
495
00:28:43,499 --> 00:28:49,699
You're about to implement another
new strategy regardless of the human cost
496
00:28:49,805 --> 00:28:52,137
or the financial cost
because you predict that maybe...
497
00:28:52,241 --> 00:28:55,210
We thought deeply about the human cost
when we were planning this strategy.
498
00:28:55,344 --> 00:28:56,743
What were your estimates exactly?
499
00:28:56,846 --> 00:29:01,408
What I can say is that this strategy
has patience and determination at its core.
500
00:29:01,984 --> 00:29:03,975
It ensures that it puts
our fighting men in spots
501
00:29:04,086 --> 00:29:06,247
where they can face, fight
and kill the enemy,
502
00:29:06,355 --> 00:29:09,552
so that we can then go about
rebuilding that country.
503
00:29:09,659 --> 00:29:11,354
And if it takes ten years,
that's how long we stay.
504
00:29:11,460 --> 00:29:15,260
- We do whatever it takes.
- Whatever it takes.
505
00:29:15,965 --> 00:29:17,557
Whatever it takes.
506
00:29:20,136 --> 00:29:23,230
Then why did it take three years
to up-armor our Humvees?
507
00:29:23,339 --> 00:29:25,170
They're up-armored now,
at my constant urging.
508
00:29:25,274 --> 00:29:28,573
Add-ons don't provide the same
protection, Senator. You know that.
509
00:29:28,678 --> 00:29:31,169
And why does the President
insist on spending billions
510
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,475
on subs and fighter planes that are
511
00:29:33,582 --> 00:29:36,107
- completely useless in this kind of war?
- What do you think I'm working on?
512
00:29:36,218 --> 00:29:41,451
And why do we send 150,000 troops
to a country that did not attack us?
513
00:29:41,757 --> 00:29:43,622
And one-tenth that number
to the one that did?
514
00:29:43,726 --> 00:29:46,718
How many times are you people
going to ask the same question?
515
00:29:47,129 --> 00:29:50,690
- Till we get the answer.
- Okay, here goes.
516
00:29:52,068 --> 00:29:55,663
- Iraq was almost a First World country.
- "Was" is the operative tense.
517
00:29:55,771 --> 00:29:57,830
We took it quick because we had numbers.
518
00:29:57,940 --> 00:30:02,309
Afghanistan was, is, and always will be
the definition of rugged Third World.
519
00:30:02,411 --> 00:30:04,538
Big numbers have bogged down there
since before
520
00:30:04,647 --> 00:30:07,878
- Alexander became "the Great."
- We "took" Iraq?
521
00:30:07,983 --> 00:30:10,975
- How did I miss that?
- Militarily, we did.
522
00:30:11,587 --> 00:30:17,890
We made mistakes. Colossal mistakes.
That should never be forgotten.
523
00:30:22,298 --> 00:30:26,394
But six years ago, who could have
known what to do or when to do it
524
00:30:27,737 --> 00:30:30,763
after watching our jets
fly into our buildings?
525
00:30:31,307 --> 00:30:32,638
Do you remember
how petrified we were
526
00:30:32,742 --> 00:30:34,710
at what our enemies
might do for an encore?
527
00:30:35,711 --> 00:30:38,441
And how, all at once,
everything was at risk.
528
00:30:38,547 --> 00:30:44,452
Families, friends, and kindergartens,
rivers and bridges, nuclear plants.
529
00:30:46,822 --> 00:30:49,290
Do you remember how terror
colored that next morning
530
00:30:49,391 --> 00:30:51,256
in shades we'd never seen before?
531
00:30:52,561 --> 00:30:53,721
Mmm-hmm.
532
00:30:55,030 --> 00:30:56,622
And tens of thousands have died since
533
00:30:56,732 --> 00:31:00,168
because of that fear
and the mistakes it inspired.
534
00:31:01,337 --> 00:31:05,398
But the question I'm left with,
the question that keeps me up at night
535
00:31:06,142 --> 00:31:08,076
because I have to answer it,
536
00:31:08,444 --> 00:31:10,105
is, "What do we do now?"
537
00:31:12,148 --> 00:31:13,445
(RUSTLING)
538
00:31:15,017 --> 00:31:16,109
(GRUNTING)
539
00:31:18,220 --> 00:31:19,812
Shit.
540
00:31:21,223 --> 00:31:22,349
(GROANING)
541
00:31:32,768 --> 00:31:34,895
First platoon?
542
00:31:36,539 --> 00:31:38,200
PILOT ON RADIO:
Two roger bob, roger five.
543
00:31:38,307 --> 00:31:40,138
MOORE: My God. They're moving in.
544
00:31:43,379 --> 00:31:44,539
Yeah, we're leaving our radio on
545
00:31:44,647 --> 00:31:46,410
and we're still waiting to hear
from the last two.
546
00:31:46,515 --> 00:31:49,040
Do you have the temperature radar on?
547
00:31:54,423 --> 00:31:55,390
(GUN FIRES)
548
00:31:56,225 --> 00:31:58,455
- They're alive.
- Okay. Okay.
549
00:32:00,062 --> 00:32:03,395
- It's just snow blowing!
- Watch my flank.
550
00:32:03,499 --> 00:32:05,660
Get me the A-10 pilot.
I want a goddamn ETA.
551
00:32:05,768 --> 00:32:07,998
- They just said 18 minutes.
- That was seven minutes ago,
552
00:32:08,103 --> 00:32:09,730
I wanna talk to the pilot now.
553
00:32:09,839 --> 00:32:13,206
Sir, the rescue bird is in
its holding pattern waiting for your word.
554
00:32:16,378 --> 00:32:19,541
All right. So, what?
Ernest and Arian, they volunteered?
555
00:32:19,648 --> 00:32:22,378
Is that a question or an accusation?
556
00:32:23,118 --> 00:32:26,519
- All right, it's just a question.
- Yes, they volunteered.
557
00:32:26,622 --> 00:32:29,386
They're like adrenaline types, like,
they like it extreme. Those kind of guys?
558
00:32:29,491 --> 00:32:32,187
No, no.
Ernie and Arian aren't adrenaline types.
559
00:32:32,528 --> 00:32:34,792
What I was talking about was fearless.
560
00:32:34,897 --> 00:32:39,425
Being terrified
but willing yourself to the next step.
561
00:32:39,802 --> 00:32:41,770
It's courage, right?
562
00:32:41,937 --> 00:32:46,271
But of the real kind.
What are you afraid of, Todd?
563
00:32:46,375 --> 00:32:47,433
(CHUCKLES)
564
00:32:47,543 --> 00:32:50,512
Most everybody's afraid of not getting
a job or moving in with their parents
565
00:32:50,613 --> 00:32:54,413
- or student loan payments looming.
- Yeah, that all scares me, too, Doc.
566
00:32:54,516 --> 00:32:57,542
Or the voice in your head that keeps
asking really awful questions,
567
00:32:57,653 --> 00:32:59,518
like, "Should I be doing more
with my gifts?"
568
00:32:59,622 --> 00:33:02,750
"Am I making the most out of
my time here on this planet?"
569
00:33:02,858 --> 00:33:05,554
Think everybody asks themselves
those kinda questions.
570
00:33:05,661 --> 00:33:08,824
A lot of us are afraid of the answers.
571
00:33:08,931 --> 00:33:12,492
Do you remember the second
or third lecture you ever had with me?
572
00:33:12,601 --> 00:33:14,228
And I called you out of the blue?
573
00:33:14,336 --> 00:33:16,497
You sat way over to the side
where most of you guys sit
574
00:33:16,605 --> 00:33:18,004
when you don't wanna
be called on to talk?
575
00:33:18,107 --> 00:33:20,541
You know, close enough
to have commitment,
576
00:33:20,643 --> 00:33:25,671
but just far enough away where
I can't see you to call on you.
577
00:33:25,781 --> 00:33:29,182
It's called embarrassment. You asked me
what I thought about the reading,
578
00:33:29,285 --> 00:33:30,946
and I just said, "I didn't do the reading."
579
00:33:31,053 --> 00:33:34,614
But on reflex, no excuses,
no bullshit, honest.
580
00:33:34,723 --> 00:33:38,784
- I was just terrified.
- But you willed yourself to the next step.
581
00:33:39,094 --> 00:33:41,460
And do you remember
the subject we were discussing?
582
00:33:41,563 --> 00:33:42,655
What that reading was all about?
583
00:33:42,765 --> 00:33:45,290
I try to block embarrassing moments out,
don't you?
584
00:33:45,401 --> 00:33:48,199
It was about that clinic
they were opening up on Adams.
585
00:33:48,304 --> 00:33:50,431
They were passing out clean,
free needles to addicts.
586
00:33:50,539 --> 00:33:51,801
TODD: Mmm-hmm.
587
00:33:51,907 --> 00:33:54,068
And a class of 80 people thought that
that was a pretty good idea.
588
00:33:54,176 --> 00:33:58,545
They thought, yeah, stop spreading
of disease and maybe cut crime a bit,
589
00:33:58,647 --> 00:33:59,671
and you said...
590
00:33:59,782 --> 00:34:03,218
Look, if we're gonna spend tax dollars,
our tax dollars,
591
00:34:03,319 --> 00:34:04,980
to help people break the law
in a safer way,
592
00:34:05,087 --> 00:34:08,579
why don't we have a designated
drunk-driver lane on the highway, too?
593
00:34:08,691 --> 00:34:09,680
- ALL: What?
- What?
594
00:34:09,792 --> 00:34:11,521
It's a much bigger problem
than IV drug use.
595
00:34:11,627 --> 00:34:13,595
- And it's the exact same logic.
- You're talking economics.
596
00:34:13,696 --> 00:34:15,857
Yeah, I'm talking economics,
and I'm also talking about safety.
597
00:34:15,965 --> 00:34:16,989
BOY: No, no.
598
00:34:17,099 --> 00:34:19,431
Wait a minute. You just admitted
you didn't even read the assignment.
599
00:34:19,535 --> 00:34:21,594
I know, I didn't. But I can still think.
I've still got a brain.
600
00:34:21,704 --> 00:34:22,830
- He's right.
- He's right?
601
00:34:22,938 --> 00:34:24,166
No, no.
602
00:34:24,273 --> 00:34:26,935
Yeah, well, you know. I can kick
a hornet's nest with the best of them, Doc.
603
00:34:27,042 --> 00:34:30,034
Yeah, but the kid who didn't
read the assignment and admitted it
604
00:34:30,746 --> 00:34:33,977
becomes the center
of one of the most interesting debates
605
00:34:34,083 --> 00:34:35,380
I've ever been a part of.
606
00:34:36,085 --> 00:34:37,052
Where did that kid go?
607
00:34:40,956 --> 00:34:43,186
JANINE: So I take it to mean you think
that the number of troops
608
00:34:43,292 --> 00:34:46,284
that we have in Afghanistan now
is enough.
609
00:34:46,395 --> 00:34:50,195
I do. And a big part of why we're able
to do more with less in Afghanistan,
610
00:34:50,299 --> 00:34:53,928
outside of the precise intel
that we have in the area,
611
00:34:54,036 --> 00:34:56,095
is the superior nature
of our Special Forces.
612
00:34:56,205 --> 00:34:58,332
I mean, these guys, these guys are pros.
613
00:34:58,574 --> 00:34:59,541
Mmm-hmm.
614
00:34:59,775 --> 00:35:02,141
It really reminds me of Abrams, in '68.
615
00:35:02,244 --> 00:35:04,838
- Abrams? Abrams.
- Huh? Yeah. Remember?
616
00:35:04,947 --> 00:35:05,936
Mmm-hmm.
617
00:35:06,048 --> 00:35:07,174
How long ago was that?
618
00:35:07,282 --> 00:35:09,546
Can't get the Vietcong
to engage in big fights,
619
00:35:09,651 --> 00:35:12,916
so we'll send out smaller groups
so that they can't resist ambushing us.
620
00:35:13,022 --> 00:35:14,319
At least we'll be fighting.
621
00:35:14,423 --> 00:35:17,950
Fifty-eight thousand names say
that new strategy didn't work out so well.
622
00:35:18,060 --> 00:35:21,860
What is your problem with evolution?
623
00:35:21,964 --> 00:35:25,491
With utterly capable platoons
of Special Forces soldiers
624
00:35:25,601 --> 00:35:27,125
surgically ferreting out the enemy?
625
00:35:27,236 --> 00:35:31,468
- Again, platoons are small.
- Again, small is the point.
626
00:35:33,008 --> 00:35:34,600
Abrams.
627
00:35:34,710 --> 00:35:37,804
- What, do you TiVo the History Channel?
- (LAUGHING) No.
628
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,843
'68 was my first year reporting.
It was my college newspaper.
629
00:35:41,950 --> 00:35:44,077
- Liberal rag?
- (CHUCKLES) Yeah.
630
00:35:44,186 --> 00:35:45,881
I never lost my taste for it.
631
00:35:46,522 --> 00:35:47,750
Lucky me.
632
00:35:50,526 --> 00:35:53,427
- 1968.
- Yeah, you were six.
633
00:35:53,862 --> 00:35:55,591
But reading at a sixth-grade level.
634
00:35:55,697 --> 00:35:56,823
(JANINE LAUGHS)
635
00:35:57,466 --> 00:35:59,434
Forty years in this racket.
636
00:35:59,535 --> 00:36:01,594
You don't have to say
the duration out loud.
637
00:36:01,703 --> 00:36:04,729
Forty years means
you should have enough salt
638
00:36:05,774 --> 00:36:08,265
to know that we're at a tipping point.
639
00:36:08,377 --> 00:36:10,504
Now, the American people
need to understand
640
00:36:10,612 --> 00:36:14,810
it is not only our choice to stop
these insurgents, but our moral obligation.
641
00:36:14,917 --> 00:36:19,650
We simply cannot allow
their form of evil and terror to spread.
642
00:36:19,755 --> 00:36:24,988
And through precise military action,
we will take the essential first step.
643
00:36:25,094 --> 00:36:26,322
First step?
644
00:36:26,428 --> 00:36:30,091
But what have we been doing
for the past six years, Senator?
645
00:36:30,199 --> 00:36:32,667
You know,
World War II took less than five.
646
00:36:36,805 --> 00:36:38,363
(GRUNTING)
647
00:36:47,182 --> 00:36:50,379
Roll over. I gotta see your leg.

this country really doesn't treat that well.

00:46:50,864 --> 00:46:53,992
And here are Ernest and Arian,
growing up in these neighborhoods
783
00:46:54,101 --> 00:46:57,298
where people butcher each other
for the most simple-minded shit.

are better than mine." Bam!

And what do they do
after they scrape themselves up
788
00:47:06,013 --> 00:47:08,948
and get out of these places in one piece?
789
00:47:09,049 --> 00:47:11,984
They go out to fight for the very country
that all but ignores these neighborhoods
790
00:47:12,085 --> 00:47:15,054
unless there's a riot
or a drive-by epidemic.
791
00:47:15,155 --> 00:47:16,417
Then on the flip side,
792
00:47:16,523 --> 00:47:20,550
you got kids that can take advantage
of every single gift this country has.
793
00:47:20,661 --> 00:47:21,685
Just like me, right?
794
00:47:21,795 --> 00:47:24,389
And usually they're the first ones
to take a big step back
795
00:47:24,498 --> 00:47:27,399
when it comes time for volunteers.
796
00:47:28,702 --> 00:47:31,762
- (CHUCKLING) Are you recruiting me?
- Recruiting you?
797
00:47:32,005 --> 00:47:37,068
You sold the army to Ernest and Arian
and now you're trying to sell it to me.
798
00:47:40,514 --> 00:47:45,315
Three guys in that photo never
came home. One guy's in prison for life.

You wanna know what
the worst wound I ever got was?
800
00:47:50,924 --> 00:47:54,519
Fifty-four stitches protesting
in Chicago after I came home.
801
00:47:54,628 --> 00:47:56,960
I did just the opposite
of recruiting Ernest and Arian.
802
00:47:57,564 --> 00:47:58,895
Did I like what they did? No.
803
00:47:58,999 --> 00:48:01,365
Did I agree with what they did? No.
In fact, it broke my heart.
804
00:48:01,468 --> 00:48:03,868
But that doesn't mean
I don't revere the reasons they went.
805
00:48:03,971 --> 00:48:05,336
They took action because they believed
806
00:48:05,706 --> 00:48:08,197
the best way to change things
in this country was to go fight for it.
807
00:48:09,242 --> 00:48:10,732
ARIAN: Engagement.
808
00:48:10,844 --> 00:48:12,869
Engagement is
the foreign relations concept
809
00:48:12,980 --> 00:48:17,679
that we would like to apply here at home.
We're pretty good with it abroad.
810
00:48:17,784 --> 00:48:22,244
Our Secretary of State has traveled
more miles than any in history,
811
00:48:22,356 --> 00:48:24,153
and we have more embassies than ever.
812
00:48:24,558 --> 00:48:28,358
To your first point, isn't that just
because of easy access to jets?
813

00:56:59,503 --> 00:57:02,939
Janine? I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
There's a vote up now, so I...
976
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:04,701
Can I just...
977
00:57:04,809 --> 00:57:08,870
In 1991 my network, ANX,
was bought by a corporation
978
00:57:08,979 --> 00:57:12,745
best known for selling soap
and light bulbs.
979
00:57:12,850 --> 00:57:15,580
And overnight we went
from a news organization
980
00:57:15,686 --> 00:57:18,519
preoccupied with gathering news,
to a business unit
981
00:57:18,622 --> 00:57:21,455
preoccupied with ad revenue and ratings.
982
00:57:23,194 --> 00:57:26,857
A windsock. And I knew it.
When I signed my contract, I knew.
983
00:57:26,964 --> 00:57:29,262
But I thought I could keep my autonomy,
you know.
984
00:57:29,366 --> 00:57:32,096
I thought that little raise they gave me
meant they were still committed
985
00:57:32,203 --> 00:57:34,535
to hard news, but, anyway...
986
00:57:34,772 --> 00:57:37,798
Janine. Sit. Please.
987
00:57:46,617 --> 00:57:50,018
- Thank you for that.
- It's just the truth.
988
00:57:50,788 --> 00:57:51,914
How can I...
989
00:57:53,124 --> 00:57:55,524
How can I verify
the results of this mission?
990
00:57:55,626 --> 00:57:57,526
You're not gonna be embedding press
with these troops, are you?
991
00:57:57,628 --> 00:57:59,220
- No, no, no. There's no room.
- Right.
992
00:57:59,330 --> 00:58:01,821
Special Forces travel fast and light,
993
00:58:01,932 --> 00:58:04,127
but I can provide the infrared
and the gun-camera footage.
994
00:58:04,235 --> 00:58:05,259
That's great. That's great.

Those are always the most
popular downloads from our website.
996

will come directly from me to you.
997
00:58:10,007 --> 00:58:11,474
- Great. Thank you.
- Yeah.
998
00:58:11,575 --> 00:58:14,408
- Now let me kill the good feeling.
- You? Really?
999
00:58:14,512 --> 00:58:16,343
Worst-case scenario...
1000
00:58:17,548 --> 00:58:20,949
- Forward operating points don't work.
- They will work.
1001
00:58:21,519 --> 00:58:26,718
Have you... Has the President
contemplated surging the troops?
1002
00:58:26,824 --> 00:58:29,691
In support of this strategy,
if it's necessary?
1003
00:58:29,794 --> 00:58:32,627
Military's stretched pretty thin right now.
1004
00:58:32,730 --> 00:58:34,789
Maybe you'll have to send
kids didn't sign up to go?
1005
00:58:34,899 --> 00:58:37,868
A draft? No, no, no. We don't need it.
1006
00:58:37,968 --> 00:58:40,801
We have everything we need
to break the enemy right now,
1007
00:58:40,905 --> 00:58:44,739
except the public will to do it.
That's where you come in.
1008
00:58:46,877 --> 00:58:49,539
But how do we know
you're gonna get it right this time?
1009
00:58:49,647 --> 00:58:52,138
You know, people are very mistrustful.
1010
00:58:52,249 --> 00:58:54,877
You know, after 9/11
we had the whole world on our side.
1011
00:58:54,985 --> 00:58:56,475
Here we are six years later,
1012
00:58:56,587 --> 00:58:59,078
stumbling through one of
the worst times ever to be an American.
1013
00:58:59,190 --> 00:59:01,852
Look, come on, Janine. Hyperbole
is not gonna do us any good. It's...
1014
00:59:01,959 --> 00:59:04,689
Come on.
Nobody is monitoring our patriotism here.
1015
00:59:04,795 --> 00:59:07,491
You have to admit, this is
one of the five worst times
1016
00:59:07,598 --> 00:59:10,294
to fly the Stars and Stripes.
People need a...
1017

A win, Janine.
1018
00:59:12,603 --> 00:59:18,599
The people, the President, me.
We all need a win in Afghanistan.
1019
00:59:18,709 --> 00:59:20,574
Winning allows our public to refocus.
1020
00:59:20,678 --> 00:59:24,307
Winning gets Congress back in the mood
to talk instead of yell.
1021
00:59:24,415 --> 00:59:26,747
- And it helps the people of Afghanistan...
- That goes without saying.
1022
00:59:26,851 --> 00:59:28,580
And it helps your party.
1023
00:59:28,686 --> 00:59:31,211

that represents security,

and stamina to finish our fights.

Over and over again we have allowed
our great country

Not with their medieval beliefs.

sounds like a fairy tale to me?

01:06:12,235 --> 01:06:13,395
- You gave them an A for that?
1106
01:06:14,537 --> 01:06:15,731
- I gave them a B+.
1107
01:06:15,839 --> 01:06:17,773
- What?
- A B+, they were loose on their stats.
1108

No, I heard you.
1109
01:06:19,008 --> 01:06:21,238

about the students who got an A?

Aha!

01:06:27,917 --> 01:06:30,977
You're on to the secret now, Todd.
It's called "potential."
1114
01:06:31,087 --> 01:06:33,715
And believe me, that's
a far better signal of what you might do
1115
01:06:33,823 --> 01:06:37,020
than getting an A in some class you might
forget about in two, three years.
1116
01:06:37,127 --> 01:06:39,994
Sounds a lot like what kids with 2.4s
tell themselves to justify all the C's.
1117
01:06:40,096 --> 01:06:43,759
No, no, no, no, no.
That's very nice, but neither got C's.

- Not by quitting.

Todd, I told you twice,
I did everything I could to stop them.
1121
01:06:54,744 --> 01:06:56,507
- But revered the reasons they didn't?
- Yeah.
1122
01:06:56,613 --> 01:07:00,674
So I'm supposed to listen to your advice.
This direction you're trying to give me,
1123
01:07:00,784 --> 01:07:05,084
even though that the two
you've been telling me about didn't listen?
1124

They went ahead. They did what they
were gonna do anyway.
1125
01:07:08,691 --> 01:07:13,651
Okay, maybe, just maybe,
you might be dropping the hammer on me
1126
01:07:13,763 --> 01:07:18,257
because of how rarely you find
a student you think is worth the time
1127
01:07:18,368 --> 01:07:23,601
and how often it sounds like
you failed at getting through
1128
01:07:24,107 --> 01:07:25,665
once you did find those students.
1129
01:07:25,775 --> 01:07:31,236
Actually, the failing started
about 10, maybe 15 years ago.
1130
01:07:31,881 --> 01:07:36,409
You know, the truth is, Todd, I used to
knock meetings like this out of the park.
1131
01:07:36,519 --> 01:07:40,353
- And what changed?
- You. Students sitting across from me.
1132
01:07:40,457 --> 01:07:42,516
'Cause we're more shrewd.
'Cause we see how things work.
1133
01:07:42,625 --> 01:07:45,492
'Cause we don't wanna die
for these pieces of shit.
1134
01:07:45,595 --> 01:07:47,620
Because you wanna
put as much distance between yourself
1135
01:07:47,730 --> 01:07:49,994
and the real world as possible.
And these pieces of shit...
1136
01:07:50,099 --> 01:07:51,726
And by the way,
how many times are you gonna say that?
1137

They bank on your willful ignorance.

01:07:56,906 --> 01:07:59,101
They plan strategies around it.
1139
01:07:59,209 --> 01:08:01,541
They try to figure out how much
they can get away with because of it.
1140
01:08:01,644 --> 01:08:03,236
So blame me for it all.
1141
01:08:03,346 --> 01:08:05,906
Blame me 'cause I might just wanna
live the good life.
1142
01:08:06,015 --> 01:08:08,506
Because I can.
Because I'm smart enough to.
1143
01:08:08,618 --> 01:08:11,052
You're gonna blame me
because I don't wanna work
1144
01:08:11,154 --> 01:08:14,453
elbow to elbow with you
on a goddamn collective farm?
1145
01:08:14,557 --> 01:08:17,390
Doc, you are sounding a hell of a lot
like my parents.
1146
01:08:17,494 --> 01:08:20,429
They're always harping on how they're
giving me a better life than they ever had,
1147
01:08:20,530 --> 01:08:23,897
and then they resent the shit out of me
'cause I got the nerve to enjoy it.
1148
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:27,367
Todd, what good is a $90,000 Benz
1149
01:08:27,470 --> 01:08:29,961
if there's not only
not enough gas in the tank,
1150
01:08:30,073 --> 01:08:32,337
but the streets and the highways
1151
01:08:32,442 --> 01:08:34,774
are decaying to the point
of becoming Third World.
1152
01:08:34,878 --> 01:08:39,577
If all your rants about Congress
and politics are true, Todd,
1153
01:08:39,682 --> 01:08:43,015
if things are really bad,
as bad as you say they are,
1154
01:08:43,119 --> 01:08:45,883
when thousands of American troops
are dead and more are dying every day,
1155
01:08:45,989 --> 01:08:50,085
probably as we speak, you tell me,
how can you enjoy the good life?
1156
01:08:51,528 --> 01:08:53,291
Rome is burning, son,
1157
01:08:53,396 --> 01:08:55,591
and the problem is not
with the people that started this.
1158
01:08:55,698 --> 01:08:59,691
They're past irredeemable.
The problem is with us. All of us.
1159
01:08:59,802 --> 01:09:02,327
Who do nothing. Who just fiddle.
1160
01:09:02,438 --> 01:09:04,633
Who try to maneuver
around the edges of the flame.
1161
01:09:04,741 --> 01:09:07,141
And I'll tell you something,
there are people out there, day-to-day,
1162
01:09:07,243 --> 01:09:09,575
all over the world,
that are fighting to make things better.
1163
01:09:09,679 --> 01:09:12,341
You think it's better to have tried
and failed than failing to try, right?
1164
01:09:12,448 --> 01:09:13,676
- Yeah.
- But what is the difference
1165
01:09:13,783 --> 01:09:16,149
if you end up in the same place?
1166
01:09:21,190 --> 01:09:23,249
At least you did something.
1167
01:09:38,508 --> 01:09:41,443
Thanks for knocking.
What did I'enfant terrible want?
1168
01:09:41,878 --> 01:09:43,539
One-on-one time. Whole hour.
1169
01:09:43,646 --> 01:09:45,739
An hour? Jesus.
What, a beating or a story?
1170
01:09:45,848 --> 01:09:49,375
A big new military move
launched as we sat there.
1171
01:09:49,485 --> 01:09:50,816
- An exclusive?
- Yeah.
1172
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:52,683
Damn. Details.
1173
01:09:52,789 --> 01:09:55,587
Let's get the basics up on the scroll
right away.
1174
01:09:55,692 --> 01:09:57,421
What's the action?
1175
01:09:59,095 --> 01:10:00,756
Janine? Hello?
1176
01:10:00,863 --> 01:10:05,960
It stinks. I mean, I don't know.
I just came away with a bad feeling.
1177
01:10:06,069 --> 01:10:09,095
- It just... It feels...
- Feels?
1178
01:10:09,205 --> 01:10:10,229
Bogus.
1179
01:10:10,340 --> 01:10:11,364
- It feels?
- Yeah.
1180
01:10:11,474 --> 01:10:13,499
I mean, are you being paid
to investigate your feelings?
1181
01:10:13,610 --> 01:10:15,202
I mean, just give me the facts, Janine.
Jesus.
1182
01:10:15,311 --> 01:10:17,711
- You know, we can't do this again.
- Do what again?
1183
01:10:17,814 --> 01:10:23,343
We can't just buy the whole little program
like we did for the run-up at the...
1184
01:10:23,453 --> 01:10:26,945
Oh, please. Stand back
while my fucking head detonates.
1185
01:10:27,056 --> 01:10:29,115
- This is your guy, right?
- He's not my guy.
1186
01:10:29,225 --> 01:10:31,159
But he goes right to you.
He asks you the questions.
1187
01:10:31,260 --> 01:10:34,161
He's handing you an exclusive.
He's giving you a fucking gift.
1188
01:10:34,263 --> 01:10:37,562
It's not a gift. It's propaganda.
And we don't have to broadcast
1189
01:10:37,667 --> 01:10:39,100
everything that the government
wants us to, do we?
1190
01:10:39,202 --> 01:10:43,901
No, we broadcast news. The launch
of a new military move is news.
1191
01:10:44,007 --> 01:10:46,669
Are you feeling a teensy
conscience attack here?
1192
01:10:46,776 --> 01:10:48,869
- Please.
- Well, isn't it a little late for that?
1193
01:10:48,978 --> 01:10:51,344
Come on. What is the story?
What is the move? Give me a goddamn...
1194
01:10:51,447 --> 01:10:54,348
Hey, are you old enough
to remember The Who?
1195
01:10:54,550 --> 01:10:55,574
The Who? Yeah.
1196
01:10:55,685 --> 01:10:56,777
And I'm young enough to listen to them.
So what?

(SINGING) Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
1198

That's what, it's the Vietnam-era thinking,
you know?
1199
01:11:02,425 --> 01:11:03,790
And they just repackaged, you know?
1200
01:11:03,893 --> 01:11:06,726
They're gonna send out small platoons,
these kids, as bait.
1201
01:11:06,829 --> 01:11:07,921
- It's just... It's the same...
- Oh, come on.
1202
01:11:08,031 --> 01:11:10,659
- It's the same old, same old.
- No, no. That is speculation.
1203
01:11:10,767 --> 01:11:12,428
We do not air speculation, okay?
1204
01:11:12,535 --> 01:11:16,699
No, I know. It's these guys.
They're so desperate for a way out, see?
1205
01:11:16,806 --> 01:11:18,967
They're so desperate
to change the subject from Iraq.
1206
01:11:19,075 --> 01:11:23,341
They're so desperate for a win
that they're listening to Irving.
1207
01:11:23,446 --> 01:11:26,040
And you know, I don't blame them,
because, boy, he is good.
1208
01:11:26,149 --> 01:11:29,414
But he doesn't have a plan
for the day after the attack.
1209
01:11:29,519 --> 01:11:32,215
No. I mean, he'll croon
about hearts and minds,
1210
01:11:32,321 --> 01:11:35,347
but it's all, you know,
helicopters and Marines. That's what...
1211
01:11:35,458 --> 01:11:39,554
Jesus. Anyway, he couldn't care less
about the soft stuff.
1212
01:11:39,662 --> 01:11:42,893
You know, this whole thing, this...
It's a strategic...
1213
01:11:42,999 --> 01:11:44,899
It's a lubricant to get him
into the White House.

your politics cloud your reasoning?

I'm just trying to do my job. That's all.

Your job, if I can bring you back
to the twenty-first century,
1218
01:11:56,145 --> 01:11:59,046
is to report verifiable facts, so I can
put them up on the goddamn screen.

There are none! Okay?
There are no embeds up there.

- Please don't start that.

...and find out what a real winning noise
sounds like.
1231
01:12:30,847 --> 01:12:32,212
- No, no, no. He said to me...
- I don't wanna hear it.
1232
01:12:32,315 --> 01:12:35,182
He said this to me. I have it. I have it.

just calm down. Okay? Calm down.

Look, it seems to me
1236
01:12:52,135 --> 01:12:56,868
like Irving has a plan to go after the guys
who attacked us, okay?
1237

Now, our viewers will believe
that's a good thing. So do I.

- Wrong. I just can't do this.

what-if story that's based on what?

I expected more from you, Janine.
1247
01:13:33,576 --> 01:13:36,340
Yeah, you expected me
to turn in a tidy time line.

- That's right.

01:17:05,821 --> 01:17:10,952
- And, also, that I'll live to regret it?
- All I'm saying is that you're an adult now.
1297
01:17:12,361 --> 01:17:15,660
And the tough thing
about adulthood is that it...
1298
01:17:16,832 --> 01:17:20,393
It starts before you even know it starts,
1299
01:17:20,503 --> 01:17:23,597
when you're already
a dozen decisions into it.
1300
01:17:23,706 --> 01:17:28,803
But what you need to know, Todd,
no lifeguard's watching anymore.
1301
01:17:28,911 --> 01:17:31,641
You're on your own. You're your own man,
1302
01:17:31,747 --> 01:17:36,081
and the decisions you make now are yours
and yours alone from here until the end.
1303
01:17:37,453 --> 01:17:40,718
I'm sorry. The sign says till 8:00,
and it's way after 8:00.
1304
01:17:40,923 --> 01:17:44,484
- Yes. Sorry.
- So, what, you don't want my decision?
1305
01:17:44,593 --> 01:17:48,359
Class meets again Tuesday at 9:00.
I'll find out then.
1306
01:17:54,904 --> 01:17:56,098
Okay, Muna. What...
1307
01:17:56,205 --> 01:17:58,639
Professor Malley,
the grade you gave me can't be right.
1308
01:17:58,741 --> 01:18:02,507
You mean a C+? Excuse me.
Close the door behind you, huh?
1309
01:18:09,151 --> 01:18:10,413
Let's see. So...

No, no.
1317
01:18:46,555 --> 01:18:49,319
Get out of here. Get out of here. Go on!
1318
01:18:50,493 --> 01:18:51,653
No way.
1319
01:18:53,596 --> 01:18:58,192

- Not even if there was a ladder.

Not laying down.

- So, the new thing is skin turgidity.
- Tur-what-ity?
1332
01:22:19,935 --> 01:22:21,197
Did you make that word up?
1333
01:22:21,303 --> 01:22:25,069
No. It's a term taken from flora and fauna,
used to describe the health of...
1334
01:22:25,174 --> 01:22:27,199
- Like plants?
- Well, yes. Exactly.
