Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:10,969 --> 00:00:12,845
Roadside bombs have claimed the lives
2
00:00:12,929 --> 00:00:15,055
of eight US soldiers today in Iraq.
3
00:00:15,140 --> 00:00:17,850
Four troops were killed when an
explosion struck their vehicle
4
00:00:17,934 --> 00:00:19,685
during combat north of Baghdad,
5
00:00:19,769 --> 00:00:22,813
while an airman was killed by
another roadside bomb in Tikrit.
6
00:00:22,897 --> 00:00:25,274
Two US soldiers were
killed and three wounded
7
00:00:25,358 --> 00:00:28,401
when their unit was struck
by a roadside bomb in Baghdad.
8
00:00:29,529 --> 00:00:32,559
The death of an eighth soldier
from a non-battle-related cause
9
00:00:32,644 --> 00:00:38,232
is under investigation.
At least 3,555 members of the US military
10
00:00:38,316 --> 00:00:42,319
have died since the Iraq War
started back in 2003.
11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
### --- Subtitle Oleh

12
00:01:56,477 --> 00:01:58,270
One more, that's it.
Thank you very much.
13
00:02:00,982 --> 00:02:02,274
Thank you for coming in.
14
00:02:02,358 --> 00:02:04,818
Thank you, sir.
Have a good meeting, sir.
15
00:02:05,278 --> 00:02:07,738
Senator? Absolutely.
16
00:02:09,157 --> 00:02:10,907
He's ready for you now,
Ms. Roth.
17
00:02:12,452 --> 00:02:13,618
Sorry?
18
00:02:13,911 --> 00:02:15,287
The Senator.
19
00:02:18,916 --> 00:02:20,083
Okay.
20
00:02:23,755 --> 00:02:25,088
Hi.
21
00:02:25,173 --> 00:02:26,340
Good morning, Janine.
22
00:02:26,424 --> 00:02:28,759
Only good thing about morning
is it ends at noon.
23
00:02:30,261 --> 00:02:31,762
Please, sit down.
24
00:02:31,846 --> 00:02:33,513
Would you like some
coffee, tea, water?
25
00:02:33,598 --> 00:02:34,931
No, thanks.
26
00:02:35,016 --> 00:02:36,466
It's terrific to see you.
Thank you.
27
00:02:36,476 --> 00:02:37,768
Thanks for coming in.
28
00:02:37,894 --> 00:02:40,687
Senator? Marcia, could
I have coffee, please?
29
00:02:40,772 --> 00:02:42,356
I read the story you did on the rise
30
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,399
of image consultants in politics.
31
00:02:44,484 --> 00:02:45,650
You did?
32
00:02:45,735 --> 00:02:48,195
I thought it was
a good story, actually.
33
00:02:48,279 --> 00:02:49,905
It was a different angle.
34
00:02:51,282 --> 00:02:52,282
Thank you.
35
00:02:55,286 --> 00:02:57,287
Are we waiting for
your PR pit bull, or...
36
00:02:57,372 --> 00:02:59,081
No. Just you and me.
37
00:02:59,165 --> 00:03:01,124
No one to intercept
your trick questions.
38
00:03:01,209 --> 00:03:03,794
One-on-one time...
39
00:03:03,878 --> 00:03:05,778
You were the first to call me
the future of my party,
40
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,506
and this is me returning the favor.
41
00:03:07,590 --> 00:03:08,673
Well, it wasn't a favor.
42
00:03:08,758 --> 00:03:10,258
It was just how I
saw it eight years ago.
43
00:03:10,259 --> 00:03:11,760
Well, nonetheless, grateful.
44
00:03:11,844 --> 00:03:13,720
And considering
the state of your party,
45
00:03:13,805 --> 00:03:15,305
how do you know
the tag isn't pejorative?
46
00:03:17,308 --> 00:03:19,393
'Cause I got 77% of the vote.
Oh, yeah.
47
00:03:20,686 --> 00:03:22,687
How could I forget?
Yes.
48
00:03:24,690 --> 00:03:26,340
You're aware that I'm doing
this time line about this...
49
00:03:26,359 --> 00:03:29,694
Yeah, you're doing a detailed
time line on the War on Terror,
50
00:03:29,779 --> 00:03:33,197
and I bet, if it's like every other time
line that's come out this past year,
51
00:03:33,658 --> 00:03:38,120
It'll be the opening salvo of a much
larger retrospective of mistakes made.
52
00:03:38,204 --> 00:03:40,414
Or it could just be
a simple list of facts.
53
00:03:40,498 --> 00:03:42,833
From which you all
will pick and choose.
54
00:03:42,917 --> 00:03:45,127
You don't trust us.
I trust you.
55
00:03:45,211 --> 00:03:47,003
And that's why we're here.
56
00:03:47,255 --> 00:03:49,047
To discuss what, exactly?
57
00:03:49,298 --> 00:03:52,843
To see if you'd like to write
an honest-to-God story again,
58
00:03:53,761 --> 00:03:55,541
instead of reminding
the few paying attention
59
00:03:55,555 --> 00:03:58,682
that we've been fighting
a tough war for six years.
60
00:03:58,850 --> 00:04:00,434
Who gets the Peabody for that?
61
00:04:03,688 --> 00:04:04,896
What's the story?
62
00:04:04,981 --> 00:04:08,525
It's about a new plan going
into motion in Afghanistan.
63
00:04:09,485 --> 00:04:11,528
Afghanistan? A new plan?
64
00:04:11,696 --> 00:04:13,780
A new plan that will win both the war
65
00:04:13,865 --> 00:04:15,824
and, as cliché as this might sound,
66
00:04:15,950 --> 00:04:17,909
the hearts and minds of the people.
67
00:04:20,371 --> 00:04:21,413
What's the plan?
68
00:04:21,497 --> 00:04:23,287
Obviously, I won't be at liberty
to tell you everything.
69
00:04:23,291 --> 00:04:24,391
National security, of course.
70
00:04:24,417 --> 00:04:26,418
But enough so that
you might write a story
71
00:04:26,502 --> 00:04:29,963
about what we're doing
in Afghanistan now.
72
00:04:30,047 --> 00:04:32,090
Not six years ago, but now,
73
00:04:32,175 --> 00:04:34,551
and how those efforts can
culminate into actual victory.
74
00:04:36,345 --> 00:04:38,472
What is this?
This?
75
00:04:38,556 --> 00:04:41,141
This meeting.
76
00:04:41,267 --> 00:04:45,937
This is my honest effort to
keep the press better informed.
77
00:04:47,356 --> 00:04:50,025
And to change the subject
from the past to the future.
78
00:04:50,651 --> 00:04:54,821
Acknowledge mistakes and talk
openly about ways of fixing them,
79
00:04:55,656 --> 00:04:58,575
step by step.
80
00:04:58,659 --> 00:05:00,452
How much time do we have together?
81
00:05:00,578 --> 00:05:02,412
I have till 11:00.
82
00:05:03,039 --> 00:05:05,499
The whole hour?
83
00:05:05,583 --> 00:05:07,459
You all must be panicked.
84
00:05:07,543 --> 00:05:09,419
Oh, no, no, no.
We're determined.
85
00:05:28,828 --> 00:05:30,454
Listen up.
86
00:05:31,664 --> 00:05:33,164
Lieutenant Finch,
you and your boys good?
87
00:05:33,207 --> 00:05:34,833
Roger that, sir.
How's that knee?
88
00:05:34,917 --> 00:05:36,418
Ready for that 15-mile hike.
89
00:05:36,502 --> 00:05:39,046
Glad to hear it. Rodriguez?
All up, sir.
90
00:05:39,130 --> 00:05:42,340
All right, good. I want you to take
notes, I want you to ask questions.
91
00:05:42,425 --> 00:05:45,135
Good news first.
Al Qaeda and the Taliban
92
00:05:45,219 --> 00:05:47,387
have been whittled down
to small wolf packs,
93
00:05:47,472 --> 00:05:49,973
so do not believe everything
you read in the papers.
94
00:05:50,058 --> 00:05:53,185
We've successfully pounded the
enemy into something much smaller
95
00:05:53,269 --> 00:05:55,103
and more impotent than
when we first got here.
96
00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:56,938
That's good. The bad news.
97
00:05:57,023 --> 00:05:59,191
We have yet to step on their throats.
98
00:05:59,275 --> 00:06:03,070
We've yet to close.
The longer we don't, the harder it gets.
99
00:06:03,154 --> 00:06:04,863
Remember your von Clausewitz,
100
00:06:04,947 --> 00:06:08,700
"Never engage the same enemy
for too long, or he will..."
101
00:06:08,785 --> 00:06:10,160
Adapt to your tactics, sir.
102
00:06:10,244 --> 00:06:12,621
He will adapt to your tactics.
That is correct.
103
00:06:12,705 --> 00:06:16,416
Case in point, INTSUM is reporting
104
00:06:16,501 --> 00:06:18,627
that Al Qaeda in
the Badakhshan province
105
00:06:18,711 --> 00:06:20,462
is attempting to open up a new front.
106
00:06:20,546 --> 00:06:22,046
Locals up there can't
handle the fight, sir?
107
00:06:22,090 --> 00:06:23,340
See, that's really the whole problem.
108
00:06:23,341 --> 00:06:26,134
There's nobody up there strong
enough to fight this enemy,
109
00:06:26,219 --> 00:06:29,471
and Karzai sure as shit ain't gonna
let any of these guys go home now.
110
00:06:29,555 --> 00:06:31,139
Sir, why is the enemy doing this now?
111
00:06:31,224 --> 00:06:34,684
What is clearly happening is that the
enemy is bent on establishing themselves
112
00:06:34,769 --> 00:06:36,978
as a legitimate fighting
force for the people again.
113
00:06:37,063 --> 00:06:39,463
Sir, these guys don't grow on trees.
So where they coming from?
114
00:06:39,482 --> 00:06:42,484
They're going door to door.
They're asking families to give up their sons.
115
00:06:42,568 --> 00:06:44,148
If they don't give up
their sons, their sons
116
00:06:44,153 --> 00:06:45,733
are executed in front of the families.
117
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:49,032
That's number one.
N umber two is Iraq.
118
00:06:49,117 --> 00:06:51,717
Qaeda and the Tali are starting to
funnel battle-tested fighters...
119
00:06:51,744 --> 00:06:53,144
Funnel through where, though, sir?
120
00:06:53,162 --> 00:06:55,922
Well, that I can't tell you.
I ain't gonna answer that question.
121
00:06:56,374 --> 00:06:58,834
'Cause you already know too much.
122
00:07:00,294 --> 00:07:02,087
So, Jihadi and Wahhabi terrorists
123
00:07:02,171 --> 00:07:04,631
are moving through
Shiite territory, sir?
124
00:07:04,715 --> 00:07:06,716
Suffice it to say,
the enemy is getting stronger
125
00:07:06,801 --> 00:07:08,218
and the enemy is getting uglier.
126
00:07:08,302 --> 00:07:10,762
It is time for us to get back
into their fucking kitchen.
127
00:07:10,847 --> 00:07:12,931
We are gonna put our
foot on their throats.
128
00:07:13,015 --> 00:07:16,226
You are going to air assault
into the Badakhshan province.
129
00:07:16,310 --> 00:07:19,187
You will set up an operating
camp here at Pamela Left,
130
00:07:19,272 --> 00:07:20,772
a forward operating point.
131
00:07:20,857 --> 00:07:24,985
An 8,000-foot peak offering 360
degree views of the valley below.
132
00:07:25,069 --> 00:07:27,904
The enemy is gonna want it
just as badly as we do,
133
00:07:27,989 --> 00:07:29,614
so we've been
ordered to take it first,
134
00:07:29,699 --> 00:07:31,449
before the snow thaws.
135
00:07:31,534 --> 00:07:33,574
If you'll check your maps, you'll
see there's a suitable LZ.
136
00:07:33,578 --> 00:07:34,619
You all got that?
137
00:07:34,704 --> 00:07:35,704
Roger that, sir.
138
00:07:35,788 --> 00:07:37,831
You will set up camp,
you will set up comms,
139
00:07:37,915 --> 00:07:39,291
you will set up sat links.
140
00:07:39,375 --> 00:07:42,586
You will patiently wait, and if
fortunate enough to engage the enemy,
141
00:07:42,670 --> 00:07:45,213
you will introduce them to the
full measure of American Mean.
142
00:07:45,298 --> 00:07:47,757
Are we clear?
143
00:07:47,842 --> 00:07:49,718
Dress warm.
144
00:07:55,057 --> 00:07:57,434
We're being pushed awfully
fast here, aren't we, sir?
145
00:08:26,088 --> 00:08:27,255
Yep?
146
00:08:28,007 --> 00:08:29,090
- Morning.
- Morning.
147
00:08:31,036 --> 00:08:33,078
You want it closed? Or...
148
00:08:33,163 --> 00:08:35,122
What's your guess, Todd?
149
00:08:39,211 --> 00:08:41,587
You know this is unethical,
making me bring you some coffee.
150
00:08:41,671 --> 00:08:43,171
No more than making me
look at that shirt.
151
00:08:43,173 --> 00:08:44,548
Doc.
152
00:08:44,633 --> 00:08:46,091
This here's a genuine Reyn Spooner.
153
00:08:46,176 --> 00:08:47,968
This is $89. 99.
Or was it $69.00...
154
00:08:48,053 --> 00:08:50,429
Yeah? Well, well,
I take it all back, then.
155
00:08:50,514 --> 00:08:52,598
Yeah, please.
156
00:08:52,682 --> 00:08:56,310
So why'd I ask you to come
in this early with a gift?
157
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,064
Well, you know, my sporadic absences.
158
00:09:00,273 --> 00:09:01,815
Kind of sounds like
the title of a book
159
00:09:01,900 --> 00:09:03,776
about your semester
so far, doesn't it?
160
00:09:03,860 --> 00:09:06,779
That's good, yeah.
161
00:09:06,988 --> 00:09:10,616
Yeah, I don't know, Doc.
I just...
162
00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:12,993
I have never, ever
been this busy in my life.
163
00:09:13,078 --> 00:09:14,453
What with?
164
00:09:14,538 --> 00:09:16,372
Just like all my other classes...
165
00:09:17,374 --> 00:09:19,166
This is your major.
166
00:09:19,251 --> 00:09:20,960
And there's also a young lady, too.
167
00:09:21,044 --> 00:09:22,086
Yeah?
168
00:09:22,170 --> 00:09:26,382
Is this the one that you jockey to sit
next to when you do come to my class?
169
00:09:27,217 --> 00:09:28,717
No.
170
00:09:29,386 --> 00:09:30,636
What else is keeping you busy?
171
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,346
President of my fraternity.
172
00:09:32,430 --> 00:09:34,807
Hey. Well, hail to the chief.
173
00:09:34,891 --> 00:09:36,809
Come on, now.
You were in a house. Right?
174
00:09:36,893 --> 00:09:38,686
Yeah. Gotta remember
how busy it can get.
175
00:09:38,770 --> 00:09:40,220
Oh, yeah.
With the four-day weekends
176
00:09:40,230 --> 00:09:41,605
and the 30-minute
study sessions.
177
00:09:41,690 --> 00:09:43,232
Yeah, no.
That's not what I mean.
178
00:09:43,316 --> 00:09:44,596
Well, you asked me what I remembered.
179
00:09:44,609 --> 00:09:46,399
All right. So, what?
You don't think that school
180
00:09:46,403 --> 00:09:48,821
should be as social as it is academic,
181
00:09:48,905 --> 00:09:50,406
kinda like getting two educations?
182
00:09:50,490 --> 00:09:53,826
Well, I think if you can't balance
the two, you shouldn't be here.
183
00:09:53,910 --> 00:09:56,410
I also think that most of the
kids that argue that one out loud
184
00:09:56,454 --> 00:09:58,497
are the guys with
the 2.4s trying to justify
185
00:09:58,582 --> 00:10:00,916
30 grand a year for all those C's.
186
00:10:04,337 --> 00:10:06,380
Okay, my friend.
187
00:10:06,464 --> 00:10:09,300
You've aced a lot of the
exams you've shown up for,
188
00:10:09,384 --> 00:10:12,094
but you've only been to eight
classes this semester.
189
00:10:12,178 --> 00:10:13,887
Now, that'd be a hall of fame run,
190
00:10:13,972 --> 00:10:16,181
if we only met once a week.
191
00:10:16,266 --> 00:10:20,436
So, attendance is part of
my grade all of a sudden?
192
00:10:23,148 --> 00:10:25,566
Hey, Todd?
193
00:10:26,359 --> 00:10:28,569
Would you take a solid B for
the rest of this semester?
194
00:10:30,530 --> 00:10:34,366
No plus, no minus, just a
straight blue-collar B?
195
00:10:35,452 --> 00:10:38,829
I'll get that to you.
Right here. Right now.
196
00:10:39,456 --> 00:10:41,081
It's no bullshit.
197
00:10:41,625 --> 00:10:42,791
A B for what?
198
00:10:42,876 --> 00:10:45,252
For not coming to another class.
199
00:10:45,337 --> 00:10:47,880
For not writing or reading
one word I assign to you.
200
00:10:47,964 --> 00:10:51,425
For not signing up for any more of my
classes for the rest of your time here.
201
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,804
A B for nothing?
202
00:10:55,972 --> 00:10:58,057
You nod yes, and this meeting's over.
203
00:10:59,601 --> 00:11:01,391
Half the fucking class
would kill for that deal.
204
00:11:01,394 --> 00:11:04,104
But I'm not meeting with any of them.
205
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:06,690
Think I know what you're doing.
206
00:11:06,775 --> 00:11:08,675
There's another deal. Two parts.
Both non-negotiable.
207
00:11:08,693 --> 00:11:09,693
First part,
208
00:11:10,612 --> 00:11:11,862
you show up every day,
209
00:11:11,946 --> 00:11:13,947
every class, from here on out.
210
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,140
And second, you sit there
and you let me tell you
211
00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:19,203
about the last two kids
I had that gave me hope.
212
00:11:19,287 --> 00:11:22,498
Maybe that'll explain why I
called you in this morning.
213
00:11:32,509 --> 00:11:34,927
And Tango, what are you guys doing?
214
00:11:35,011 --> 00:11:38,263
We're just fluttering.
Base turn to follow.
215
00:11:39,516 --> 00:11:41,016
And ground...
216
00:11:46,398 --> 00:11:49,024
- Hey, Texas.
- Here, 203, bro.
217
00:11:49,192 --> 00:11:50,359
Yeah, I gotcha.
218
00:11:50,443 --> 00:11:51,610
Hey, check this out!
219
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,736
You got the reaction time of a fetus.
220
00:12:01,746 --> 00:12:04,039
Whoa, whoa! There we go.
221
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:05,541
Friendly skies, baby.
222
00:12:05,625 --> 00:12:08,127
How can you be more afraid
of clouds than bullets?
223
00:12:08,211 --> 00:12:10,504
'Cause I'd rather take
a bullet than a fall.
224
00:12:10,588 --> 00:12:12,589
You think you fast?
225
00:12:19,764 --> 00:12:22,364
This is a very high-minded goal you've
set for yourselves in Afghanistan.
226
00:12:22,392 --> 00:12:23,892
Yes,
it is a high-minded goal.
227
00:12:24,644 --> 00:12:28,731
But this goal for the future of
Afghanistan is just a lot of hot air,
228
00:12:28,815 --> 00:12:31,150
unless we solve
the military problem first.
229
00:12:31,234 --> 00:12:34,153
Our Special Forces soldiers are
going to take the high ground
230
00:12:34,237 --> 00:12:37,281
in key positions throughout
Afghanistan before the snow thaws,
231
00:12:37,365 --> 00:12:38,824
allowing the enemy mobility.
232
00:12:38,908 --> 00:12:41,702
And the military part
has to come first, why?
233
00:12:41,786 --> 00:12:44,329
Because only after
we've eradicated the enemy
234
00:12:44,414 --> 00:12:46,749
can we then get down to
the true nuts-and-bolts work
235
00:12:46,833 --> 00:12:48,417
of keeping this new
democracy breathing.
236
00:12:48,501 --> 00:12:50,335
So it's basically kill
people to help people?
237
00:12:50,420 --> 00:12:52,212
No.
No, that's not what I said.
238
00:12:52,297 --> 00:12:53,422
I said "the enemy."
239
00:12:53,506 --> 00:12:55,174
Don't take that out of context.
240
00:12:55,258 --> 00:12:56,458
Sorry, I was just trying to...
241
00:12:56,468 --> 00:12:57,548
Yeah, I know what you're trying...
242
00:12:57,552 --> 00:13:00,262
boil it down. So, in 2002, I
remember you said something like,
243
00:13:00,346 --> 00:13:02,139
"The Taliban's back
is forever broken."
244
00:13:02,223 --> 00:13:03,390
And then big applause.
245
00:13:03,475 --> 00:13:04,892
"Mission accomplished."
Right.
246
00:13:04,976 --> 00:13:07,394
Writ small.
247
00:13:07,479 --> 00:13:09,188
Mistake.
Mistake?
248
00:13:09,272 --> 00:13:12,566
Because we now know the enemy with
broken backs can still crawl.
249
00:13:12,650 --> 00:13:14,693
And we also know
that the enemy learned
250
00:13:14,778 --> 00:13:16,528
their lesson from
that first back-breaking.
251
00:13:16,613 --> 00:13:20,783
So, you're taking for granted there's
gonna be a second back-breaking?
252
00:13:20,867 --> 00:13:23,368
Would we be having
this meeting if I didn't?
253
00:13:23,453 --> 00:13:25,704
Is this how the rest of
the hour's gonna go, Janine?
254
00:13:25,789 --> 00:13:27,498
I'm just asking questions.
255
00:13:27,582 --> 00:13:29,750
Senator, can you just
give me one example
256
00:13:29,834 --> 00:13:32,127
of the enemy having learned a lesson?
257
00:13:32,337 --> 00:13:34,637
They've woken up to the fact that
we're fighting on two fronts.
258
00:13:35,673 --> 00:13:38,926
And history does tend to punish
that kind of hubris, right?
259
00:13:39,010 --> 00:13:41,178
So, we're launching this new strategy
260
00:13:41,262 --> 00:13:43,472
using the military
as the opening punch.
261
00:13:43,973 --> 00:13:46,767
Taking the high ground is key.
262
00:13:46,851 --> 00:13:49,853
Whoever takes it owns
the ability to observe,
263
00:13:49,938 --> 00:13:51,605
the prerogative to attack
264
00:13:51,689 --> 00:13:54,191
and the opportunity to preside.
265
00:13:54,275 --> 00:13:55,526
So... Preside?
266
00:13:55,610 --> 00:13:57,402
It's why the Romans built forts.
267
00:13:57,487 --> 00:13:59,071
You establish a constant presence,
268
00:13:59,155 --> 00:14:00,531
or you'll have constant violence.
269
00:14:00,615 --> 00:14:03,659
So, we're gonna be there
for good, like Romans?
270
00:14:05,703 --> 00:14:08,121
I said constant, not permanent.
271
00:14:09,332 --> 00:14:10,916
We have to have the same patience
272
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,584
and determination as these insurgents,
273
00:14:12,669 --> 00:14:14,419
or they'll simply outlast us.
274
00:14:14,504 --> 00:14:17,104
And this security allows us to build
those schools and the clinics.
275
00:14:17,131 --> 00:14:18,381
It's going to bring
clean water supply...
276
00:14:18,383 --> 00:14:19,550
But where's NATO in all this?
277
00:14:19,634 --> 00:14:21,051
Good question.
Where are they?
278
00:14:21,135 --> 00:14:23,303
We can't wait for them to
decide when they might act,
279
00:14:23,388 --> 00:14:25,472
so we put this new
strategy into motion now.
280
00:14:25,557 --> 00:14:27,850
And why now?
Why not a year ago?
281
00:14:27,934 --> 00:14:29,351
Two years, three years?
282
00:14:29,435 --> 00:14:32,980
Two reasons.
First reason, the satellites
283
00:14:33,064 --> 00:14:36,275
and drones are not nearly as
omniscient as they're marketed to be.
284
00:14:36,359 --> 00:14:37,359
Anybody knows that.
285
00:14:37,443 --> 00:14:39,043
You just Google "Predator"
or "Global Hawk"...
286
00:14:39,070 --> 00:14:41,405
The second reason's ugly.
Ugly?
287
00:14:41,489 --> 00:14:43,699
What is that,
code for "off the record"?
288
00:14:43,783 --> 00:14:45,784
For the time being, yeah.
289
00:14:48,037 --> 00:14:49,371
Okay.
290
00:14:49,539 --> 00:14:50,831
Iran.
291
00:14:50,915 --> 00:14:52,875
Iran?
What are they doing now?
292
00:14:52,959 --> 00:14:54,359
Outside of building nuclear weapons,
293
00:14:54,377 --> 00:14:56,086
talking to North Korea,
294
00:14:56,170 --> 00:14:59,590
and telling Israel they don't know
what a real Holocaust looks like?
295
00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:02,929
They're allowing Wahhabi insurgents
296
00:15:02,930 --> 00:15:06,057
to hike from Iraq to Afghanistan using
the most direct route possible.
297
00:15:07,435 --> 00:15:09,352
Across the countryside of Iran.
298
00:15:12,106 --> 00:15:14,524
Is that confirmed?
By their denials.
299
00:15:14,608 --> 00:15:16,735
Proof there truly
is a new axis of evil.
300
00:15:18,738 --> 00:15:21,322
1,300 years of murder
between the Sunnis and Shias
301
00:15:21,407 --> 00:15:22,657
getting back-burnered now
302
00:15:22,742 --> 00:15:25,326
so they can kill more
Americans in more places.
303
00:15:25,411 --> 00:15:26,828
Hey, are we still off the record?
304
00:15:26,912 --> 00:15:28,246
Because this really is...
305
00:15:28,330 --> 00:15:30,665
This is a story.
That's negotiable.
306
00:15:30,791 --> 00:15:32,167
You see what I'm saying?
307
00:15:32,251 --> 00:15:34,252
These radicals are uniting against us.
308
00:15:35,504 --> 00:15:38,506
Now, we need to remind the American
people who their enemies are.
309
00:15:38,591 --> 00:15:42,009
Okay, you have proof that they are uniting
against us, or are you saying that
310
00:15:42,093 --> 00:15:43,493
there may be some
potential at some point...
311
00:15:43,512 --> 00:15:45,412
No, no, no. Don't, don't, don't
underestimate how frightening
312
00:15:45,430 --> 00:15:47,181
a development this is.
313
00:15:47,265 --> 00:15:48,974
Now, this is a significant threat
314
00:15:49,059 --> 00:15:52,645
to the security of our nation,
and you can quote me on this.
315
00:15:53,188 --> 00:15:55,397
Now that Iran has nuclear potential,
316
00:15:55,482 --> 00:15:56,982
we simply cannot
allow this to escalate.
317
00:15:56,983 --> 00:15:58,383
When you say nuclear, it just sounds
318
00:15:58,401 --> 00:16:00,611
like the same kind of
fear-mongering that led up to...
319
00:16:00,695 --> 00:16:03,197
Your position affords you
the luxury of that opinion.
320
00:16:03,281 --> 00:16:04,865
Mine does not.
321
00:16:04,950 --> 00:16:06,659
It is my responsibility.
322
00:16:06,868 --> 00:16:08,158
It's part of my job description
323
00:16:08,161 --> 00:16:09,686
to protect the American people.
324
00:16:10,622 --> 00:16:14,375
And that is why we put this
new strategy into motion now.
325
00:16:14,459 --> 00:16:17,169
So when does it start?
326
00:16:18,463 --> 00:16:20,047
Ten minutes ago.
327
00:16:27,138 --> 00:16:28,848
Heads up.
328
00:16:28,932 --> 00:16:30,808
Sir, we're two minutes out.
329
00:16:31,184 --> 00:16:33,602
Two minutes! Lock and load!
330
00:16:54,416 --> 00:16:56,584
That's an old A.A.
Right there.
331
00:16:56,668 --> 00:16:59,169
Anti-aircraft
gun on the ridge.
332
00:17:04,509 --> 00:17:06,343
NODs!
333
00:17:09,431 --> 00:17:12,641
It's all good, sir.
Drones took pictures last night.
334
00:17:12,726 --> 00:17:16,353
It's an old, rusty 23-millimeter
with spiked barrels.
335
00:17:16,855 --> 00:17:18,314
Good eye, though.
336
00:17:18,398 --> 00:17:19,773
Rusted and spiked.
337
00:17:19,858 --> 00:17:20,983
Inoperable.
338
00:17:21,067 --> 00:17:22,860
Spiked? By who?
339
00:17:23,904 --> 00:17:26,030
Point is, it can't shoot.
340
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,407
What?
341
00:17:28,491 --> 00:17:32,077
An old A.A. Gun that can't shoot
could make for a nasty trap.
342
00:17:32,245 --> 00:17:37,124
Sir, I see this kinda junk
from the air all the time.
343
00:17:37,208 --> 00:17:39,460
That's why we call
this place "Trash-gani..."
344
00:17:47,052 --> 00:17:48,594
Medic!
345
00:17:48,678 --> 00:17:50,012
Man down! Man down!
346
00:17:50,096 --> 00:17:53,390
What direction?
What direction?
347
00:17:55,060 --> 00:17:58,812
We are taking fire!
Mayday! Mayday!
348
00:18:01,232 --> 00:18:03,016
Give me your finger!
Give me your finger!
349
00:18:04,194 --> 00:18:06,487
Turn towards it.
Turn towards it.
350
00:18:07,822 --> 00:18:09,573
Turn in towards it!
351
00:18:21,252 --> 00:18:22,503
Land!
352
00:18:24,089 --> 00:18:25,756
Land, land!
353
00:18:27,926 --> 00:18:28,926
Land!
354
00:18:51,783 --> 00:18:53,450
What are their names again?
355
00:18:53,994 --> 00:18:55,244
Ernest and Arian.
356
00:18:55,328 --> 00:18:57,705
Wait.
Like "Master Race" Aryan?
357
00:18:57,789 --> 00:18:59,579
Well, he spelled it with
an "l" instead of a "Y."
358
00:18:59,582 --> 00:19:00,541
What's your point?
359
00:19:00,625 --> 00:19:02,876
You looked up "irony"?
What?
360
00:19:02,961 --> 00:19:05,295
You know? A guy named Arian,
he could only be
361
00:19:06,715 --> 00:19:08,048
African American.
362
00:19:08,133 --> 00:19:10,050
What difference does that make?
363
00:19:10,135 --> 00:19:12,219
Stay focused on the American part.
364
00:19:12,303 --> 00:19:14,430
All right.
365
00:19:14,514 --> 00:19:15,556
So they played ball?
366
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,225
It was the only way they
could afford to come here.
367
00:19:18,309 --> 00:19:20,060
Scholarship athletes?
368
00:19:20,145 --> 00:19:22,730
You wanna come up with two
guys more different than me?
369
00:19:25,984 --> 00:19:27,192
What?
370
00:19:27,277 --> 00:19:30,279
You know, professors aren't
teachers, they're salesmen.
371
00:19:30,363 --> 00:19:32,531
Okay.
So what do you sell?
372
00:19:32,615 --> 00:19:34,158
You, to you.
373
00:19:34,242 --> 00:19:37,327
But, you know, you don't have
to do me any favors, Doc.
374
00:19:37,412 --> 00:19:39,121
And why is that, Todd?
375
00:19:39,247 --> 00:19:40,956
Why don't you have
to do me any favors?
376
00:19:41,041 --> 00:19:43,000
Why don't you care anymore?
377
00:19:46,296 --> 00:19:48,047
Well, how do you know I cared before?
378
00:19:48,131 --> 00:19:49,281
Just because I showed up
to your class?
379
00:19:49,299 --> 00:19:52,760
Yeah. You not only showed up,
you got involved.
380
00:19:53,011 --> 00:19:54,762
You read everything I assigned.
381
00:19:54,846 --> 00:19:57,306
You were hungry.
You leaned into those lectures.
382
00:19:57,390 --> 00:19:59,016
You went for the jugular
in every debate.
383
00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:00,934
Now my question to you is,
why not anymore?
384
00:20:01,019 --> 00:20:04,229
I already answered you.
A lot of things.
385
00:20:04,314 --> 00:20:05,773
Girls, fraternity, a social life...
386
00:20:05,857 --> 00:20:07,691
Bullshit. Come on.
Hey, Todd, come on.
387
00:20:09,569 --> 00:20:12,112
Go on.
388
00:20:12,197 --> 00:20:14,156
Don't wanna hurt your feelings.
389
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,326
Hey, we got an hour.
390
00:20:17,410 --> 00:20:20,510
Don't waste a second on worrying about my feelings.
I'm not worrying about yours.
391
00:20:21,539 --> 00:20:23,540
Thanks. You should
write Hallmark cards.
392
00:20:25,835 --> 00:20:28,754
Okay, go on.
393
00:20:29,255 --> 00:20:31,381
Say it.
All right, all right.
394
00:20:34,511 --> 00:20:36,553
Political science, Doc...
395
00:20:38,556 --> 00:20:41,058
What's scientific about it,
outside of maybe the psychology
396
00:20:41,142 --> 00:20:45,270
behind how much shit voters will
swallow before they notice?
397
00:20:45,772 --> 00:20:49,066
Science part, it's really
only about how to win.
398
00:20:49,275 --> 00:20:51,275
Not how to govern, not how
to make anybody any better,
399
00:20:51,277 --> 00:20:52,611
just how to win.
400
00:20:52,695 --> 00:20:55,823
No matter how stupid or two-faced or
criminal you gotta make yourself look.
401
00:20:55,907 --> 00:20:57,950
Give me an example.
402
00:20:58,034 --> 00:21:00,494
Okay, like
presidential candidates now.
403
00:21:01,037 --> 00:21:04,289
They announce their candidacy by
standing in front of a large audience
404
00:21:04,374 --> 00:21:07,334
and loudly saying they will not
run for president. You know?
405
00:21:07,418 --> 00:21:09,336
Yeah, I do.
Yeah. What is that shit?
406
00:21:09,420 --> 00:21:10,671
It's as old as time.
407
00:21:10,755 --> 00:21:11,922
No, I don't think so.
408
00:21:12,006 --> 00:21:13,590
'Cause you...
Okay, you had me when
409
00:21:13,675 --> 00:21:15,676
we were studying the old philosophers.
410
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,720
Greeks?
I mean, Doc, you had me.
411
00:21:18,805 --> 00:21:20,013
They were awesome.
412
00:21:20,098 --> 00:21:21,223
But somewhere...
413
00:21:22,976 --> 00:21:24,326
Somewhere you lost me.
I don't know.
414
00:21:24,352 --> 00:21:26,270
Have you ever been to Greece? No.
415
00:21:26,354 --> 00:21:27,644
No, of course not.
Otherwise you'd know,
416
00:21:27,647 --> 00:21:29,148
their government makes ours look
417
00:21:29,232 --> 00:21:31,358
like a streamlined
vision of the future.
418
00:21:31,734 --> 00:21:33,777
Well, isn't that my point?
419
00:21:34,362 --> 00:21:36,572
Socrates, Plato, Aristotle.
420
00:21:36,656 --> 00:21:38,756
They can't fix things, what the
hell is Todd Hayes gonna do?
421
00:21:38,783 --> 00:21:40,159
Bitch. Quit.
422
00:21:40,243 --> 00:21:42,244
Hey, look, I'm gonna
pay my taxes. All right?
423
00:21:42,328 --> 00:21:44,246
I'm gonna obey traffic lights.
I'm gonna give...
424
00:21:44,330 --> 00:21:45,372
Gee. That's super.
425
00:21:45,456 --> 00:21:47,374
I was thinking about something bigger.
426
00:21:47,542 --> 00:21:49,042
Something bigger?
Bigger like what?
427
00:21:49,127 --> 00:21:51,628
Like, like "be a congressman" bigger?
428
00:21:51,754 --> 00:21:54,840
Well, that's bigger.
Oh, yeah. Super.
429
00:21:54,924 --> 00:21:56,524
And then I get to be
one of those turds in DC,
430
00:21:56,551 --> 00:21:59,803
and I do mean pure pieces
of shit, who make our laws?
431
00:21:59,888 --> 00:22:01,638
I get to be a dough
boy who parts his hair
432
00:22:01,723 --> 00:22:03,056
the same side as everyone else.
433
00:22:03,141 --> 00:22:06,185
The guy who never says anything
even though he never stops talking.
434
00:22:06,269 --> 00:22:09,730
Do I get to be the guy
who lectures you on morality
435
00:22:09,814 --> 00:22:12,149
while a page jacks me
off under the table?
436
00:22:12,233 --> 00:22:14,359
Yeah, please.
437
00:22:14,444 --> 00:22:16,724
The guy who funnels away a million
that doesn't belong to him
438
00:22:16,738 --> 00:22:18,888
and then bawls like an
evangelist when he gets caught.
439
00:22:18,907 --> 00:22:21,241
And how many never get caught, Doc?
440
00:22:21,326 --> 00:22:22,868
Hey, if that's something bigger than
441
00:22:22,952 --> 00:22:25,746
being a good Joe with
a good job, fuck it.
442
00:22:25,830 --> 00:22:27,831
Yeah, that's where you lost me.
443
00:22:34,505 --> 00:22:36,131
You almost convinced me.
444
00:22:39,219 --> 00:22:41,386
Almost convinced me.
What?
445
00:22:41,471 --> 00:22:44,514
That you really know
what you're talking about.
446
00:22:44,599 --> 00:22:46,433
You're great with words, Todd.
447
00:22:46,517 --> 00:22:49,811
But you know what would make them even
better is that they had a heartbeat.
448
00:22:49,896 --> 00:22:52,606
If they were rooted
in any kind of experience.
449
00:22:52,690 --> 00:22:53,941
If you had knocked on doors,
450
00:22:54,025 --> 00:22:56,443
licked envelopes, been
to a damn public rally.
451
00:22:57,028 --> 00:22:59,279
Just put yourself on the line
in any meaningful way.
452
00:22:59,364 --> 00:23:00,322
Licking envelopes.
453
00:23:00,406 --> 00:23:02,032
That's putting myself on the line?
454
00:23:02,116 --> 00:23:03,951
Infinitely more than just talking.
455
00:23:59,257 --> 00:24:01,425
Ernie?
456
00:24:05,388 --> 00:24:06,763
Brother!
457
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,185
Pamela Left is hot.
How hot?
458
00:24:12,270 --> 00:24:14,354
Chinook took hits
from small arms, RPGs.
459
00:24:14,439 --> 00:24:16,839
You talking to the pilots?
And they have dead and wounded on board.
460
00:24:16,858 --> 00:24:18,258
And they didn't
land at their objective.
461
00:24:18,276 --> 00:24:19,359
Where did they land?
462
00:24:19,444 --> 00:24:21,111
Three kilometers south on the plateau.
463
00:24:21,195 --> 00:24:23,613
Chopper's fucked for good.
Two men missing.
464
00:24:23,698 --> 00:24:25,824
Missing? Lead with that,
who's missing?
465
00:24:25,908 --> 00:24:27,117
Finch and Rodriguez.
466
00:24:27,201 --> 00:24:30,120
Consensus on the chopper is that
they fell out over a small ridge
467
00:24:30,204 --> 00:24:31,705
short of the planned LZ.
468
00:24:31,789 --> 00:24:34,583
No guessing on whether
or not they survived.
469
00:24:47,096 --> 00:24:48,764
Ernie?
470
00:24:50,683 --> 00:24:51,975
Brother?
471
00:24:56,230 --> 00:25:00,317
Arian? You fucking idiot.
472
00:25:01,694 --> 00:25:04,154
How bad are you?
473
00:25:10,036 --> 00:25:12,245
Bad!
Can you get to me?
474
00:25:18,419 --> 00:25:21,797
I'm stuck. My leg's jammed.
475
00:25:23,591 --> 00:25:25,008
Hang on!
476
00:25:25,093 --> 00:25:26,373
I'll launch the rescue chopper.
477
00:25:26,386 --> 00:25:29,596
Get them in the air but vector them
halfway between Pamela Left and us.
478
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,598
We are not gonna put them
in that same gauntlet.
479
00:25:31,682 --> 00:25:33,712
Put them in a holding pattern
till we know what's going on.
480
00:25:33,726 --> 00:25:35,435
Can we see anything?
You got a Predator up?
481
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,370
I don't know for how long.
Cold front's still coming.
482
00:25:37,397 --> 00:25:39,047
G2 says it's packing big snow,
maybe 70-mile-an-hour winds.
483
00:25:39,065 --> 00:25:40,065
It's fucked.
484
00:25:40,149 --> 00:25:42,649
All right, I want to see as much
as I can for as long as I can.
485
00:25:42,693 --> 00:25:44,643
What's the ETA on getting
a fast mover out there?
486
00:25:44,654 --> 00:25:47,447
I got a Warthog that'll take 20,
25 minutes to get out there,
487
00:25:47,532 --> 00:25:49,552
but the margin of safety...
Just scramble it, do it.
488
00:25:49,575 --> 00:25:51,785
I would love to
talk to the motherfucker
489
00:25:52,245 --> 00:25:53,829
that said this mountaintop was secure.
490
00:25:53,913 --> 00:25:56,790
Afghan terrain demands
that small specialized teams
491
00:25:56,874 --> 00:25:58,917
establish forward operating points.
492
00:25:59,001 --> 00:26:01,294
I've heard of
"forward operating bases,"
493
00:26:01,379 --> 00:26:03,463
but not "forward
operating points."
494
00:26:03,548 --> 00:26:05,215
"Point" sounds
smaller than "base."
495
00:26:05,299 --> 00:26:06,758
Because it is.
496
00:26:07,844 --> 00:26:09,469
What? Just,
come on, say it.
497
00:26:09,554 --> 00:26:11,555
Sorry, no. I just...
498
00:26:12,098 --> 00:26:14,433
It also sounds like
Pentagonese for "bait."
499
00:26:14,517 --> 00:26:17,727
Janine. It's not like we're
putting one or two guys
500
00:26:17,812 --> 00:26:19,729
on the mountain here.
All right?
501
00:26:19,897 --> 00:26:22,065
But small is how we fight now.
502
00:26:22,150 --> 00:26:23,942
Says the man in
the air-conditioned room.
503
00:26:24,026 --> 00:26:25,652
This is a fight that we're in.
504
00:26:25,736 --> 00:26:28,822
And, unfortunately, civilizations
do not sustain themselves
505
00:26:28,906 --> 00:26:29,986
through non-violent responses.
506
00:26:29,991 --> 00:26:30,991
What does that mean?
507
00:26:31,075 --> 00:26:32,993
Are you going to now forgo diplomacy
508
00:26:33,077 --> 00:26:34,828
and State Department treaties, too?
509
00:26:34,912 --> 00:26:36,580
We were attacked.
510
00:26:36,664 --> 00:26:39,749
You do not respond to
an attack with diplomacy.
511
00:26:40,543 --> 00:26:44,087
Bin Laden's idea of diplomacy
is not filming the beheadings.
512
00:26:44,172 --> 00:26:47,257
Saddam violated 16 U N resolutions
and the U N responded
513
00:26:47,341 --> 00:26:50,093
by issuing 30-plus
sternly worded statements
514
00:26:50,178 --> 00:26:53,430
condemning his behavior.
All the while France, China and Russia
515
00:26:53,514 --> 00:26:55,390
continued to trade with
Saddam under the table.
516
00:26:55,475 --> 00:26:57,809
And didn't we also
arm Saddam in the '80s?
517
00:26:57,894 --> 00:27:00,228
But here we are now.
Yes, here we are now.
518
00:27:00,313 --> 00:27:01,713
And don't you think
it might be critical
519
00:27:01,731 --> 00:27:03,081
to examine how we got to this point?
520
00:27:03,107 --> 00:27:05,442
How and why is not the issue now.
521
00:27:05,526 --> 00:27:06,860
We have to move forward.
522
00:27:06,944 --> 00:27:09,404
We're fighting a brand
of evil that thinks
523
00:27:09,489 --> 00:27:11,531
the last 1,300 years of human progress
524
00:27:11,616 --> 00:27:14,534
is heresy punishable by violent death.
525
00:27:14,619 --> 00:27:16,919
Now, if that's something that you
don't feel should be wiped...
526
00:27:16,954 --> 00:27:18,872
Me? I would like to see bin Laden
527
00:27:18,956 --> 00:27:20,206
dead and gone as much as anybody,
528
00:27:20,208 --> 00:27:21,833
but I just don't understand
529
00:27:21,918 --> 00:27:23,835
how you can not want
to look at the past.
530
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,128
Not think it's critical.
531
00:27:25,213 --> 00:27:28,006
What is critical, what is relevant,
532
00:27:28,090 --> 00:27:31,968
is the implementation of a new
strategy that will win this war.
533
00:27:32,595 --> 00:27:34,471
A war we cannot lose.
534
00:27:34,555 --> 00:27:35,889
But we're not winning it.
535
00:27:35,973 --> 00:27:39,643
Yet. This new
strategy can change that.
536
00:27:39,769 --> 00:27:42,103
How about a strategy
to bring the troops home?
537
00:27:47,151 --> 00:27:48,193
So leave?
538
00:27:48,319 --> 00:27:49,611
That's not an option?
539
00:27:54,033 --> 00:27:57,827
Okay, let's play this out.
540
00:27:58,412 --> 00:28:02,707
We walk and Afghanistan
reverts back to the Taliban.
541
00:28:03,668 --> 00:28:06,253
Only now the Taliban has
metastasized into something
542
00:28:06,337 --> 00:28:08,421
infinitely more vicious and potent
543
00:28:08,506 --> 00:28:11,424
because they're now
2-0 versus superpowers.
544
00:28:11,509 --> 00:28:13,359
They butcher the people
who helped us, who voted,
545
00:28:13,386 --> 00:28:16,137
who were stupid enough to put
their faith in our word.
546
00:28:16,222 --> 00:28:17,681
So call it not only the end of hope
547
00:28:17,765 --> 00:28:21,268
for tens of millions of Afghans but
the end of American credibility,
548
00:28:21,352 --> 00:28:24,229
the end of America as a force
for righteousness in the world.
549
00:28:24,313 --> 00:28:25,353
When did America become...
550
00:28:25,356 --> 00:28:26,506
And when we're forced to go back
551
00:28:26,524 --> 00:28:28,525
in a couple of years,
and please quote me on this,
552
00:28:28,609 --> 00:28:30,610
we'll be squared off
against a shattered Iraq,
553
00:28:30,695 --> 00:28:34,197
a hopeless Afghanistan,
and a nuclear Iran.
554
00:28:34,907 --> 00:28:36,449
How many troops are
we gonna need then?
555
00:28:36,534 --> 00:28:38,618
I guarantee
you'll be adding some zeros.
556
00:28:39,787 --> 00:28:43,331
Wait. May I speak freely?
557
00:28:43,749 --> 00:28:47,669
You're about to implement
another new strategy
558
00:28:47,753 --> 00:28:49,963
regardless of the human cost
559
00:28:50,047 --> 00:28:52,424
or the financial cost because
you predict that maybe...
560
00:28:52,508 --> 00:28:54,217
We thought deeply about the human cost
561
00:28:54,302 --> 00:28:55,592
when we were planning this strategy.
562
00:28:55,595 --> 00:28:57,012
What were your estimates exactly?
563
00:28:57,096 --> 00:28:59,014
What I can say is that this strategy
564
00:28:59,098 --> 00:29:02,017
has patience and
determination at its core.
565
00:29:02,101 --> 00:29:04,269
It ensures that it puts
our fighting men in spots
566
00:29:04,353 --> 00:29:06,479
where they can face,
fight and kill the enemy,
567
00:29:06,564 --> 00:29:09,816
so that we can then go about
rebuilding that country.
568
00:29:09,900 --> 00:29:12,750
And if it takes ten years, that's how long we stay.
We do whatever it takes.
569
00:29:12,778 --> 00:29:17,824
Whatever it takes.
570
00:29:20,369 --> 00:29:23,496
Then why did it take three years
to up-armor our Humvees?
571
00:29:23,581 --> 00:29:25,415
They're up-armored now,
at my constant urging.
572
00:29:25,499 --> 00:29:28,835
Add-ons don't provide the same
protection, Senator. You know that.
573
00:29:28,919 --> 00:29:31,421
And why does the President
insist on spending billions
574
00:29:31,505 --> 00:29:35,050
on subs and fighter planes that are
completely useless in this kind of war?
575
00:29:35,134 --> 00:29:36,424
What do you think I'm working on?
576
00:29:36,427 --> 00:29:40,013
And why do we send 150,000 troops
577
00:29:40,097 --> 00:29:41,890
to a country that did not attack us?
578
00:29:41,974 --> 00:29:43,850
And one-tenth that number
to the one that did?
579
00:29:43,934 --> 00:29:46,978
How many times are you people
going to ask the same question?
580
00:29:47,355 --> 00:29:48,605
Till we get the answer.
581
00:29:48,689 --> 00:29:50,649
Okay, here goes.
582
00:29:52,276 --> 00:29:54,361
Iraq was almost a First World country.
583
00:29:54,445 --> 00:29:55,904
"Was" is the operative tense.
584
00:29:55,988 --> 00:29:58,073
We took it quick
because we had numbers.
585
00:29:58,157 --> 00:30:00,241
Afghanistan was, is,
and always will be
586
00:30:00,326 --> 00:30:02,452
the definition of rugged Third World.
587
00:30:02,620 --> 00:30:04,788
Big numbers have bogged
down there since before
588
00:30:04,872 --> 00:30:06,665
Alexander became "the Great."
589
00:30:06,749 --> 00:30:08,124
We "took" Iraq?
590
00:30:08,209 --> 00:30:09,209
How did I miss that?
591
00:30:09,293 --> 00:30:10,752
Militarily, we did.
592
00:30:11,796 --> 00:30:16,549
We made mistakes.
Colossal mistakes.
593
00:30:16,634 --> 00:30:18,593
That should never be forgotten.
594
00:30:22,515 --> 00:30:23,807
But six years ago,
595
00:30:24,892 --> 00:30:27,352
who could have known what
to do or when to do it
596
00:30:27,978 --> 00:30:31,022
after watching our jets
fly into our buildings?
597
00:30:31,524 --> 00:30:33,274
Do you remember how petrified we were
598
00:30:33,359 --> 00:30:35,568
at what our enemies
might do for an encore?
599
00:30:35,945 --> 00:30:38,697
And how, all at once,
everything was at risk.
600
00:30:38,781 --> 00:30:41,658
Families, friends, and kindergartens,
601
00:30:41,826 --> 00:30:44,703
rivers and bridges, nuclear plants.
602
00:30:47,039 --> 00:30:49,541
Do you remember how terror
colored that next morning
603
00:30:49,625 --> 00:30:51,501
in shades we'd never seen before?
604
00:30:55,131 --> 00:30:58,383
And tens of thousands have died
since because of that fear
605
00:30:58,467 --> 00:31:01,469
and the mistakes it inspired.
606
00:31:01,554 --> 00:31:03,012
But the question I'm left with,
607
00:31:03,097 --> 00:31:06,266
the question that keeps me up at night
608
00:31:06,350 --> 00:31:08,351
because I have to answer it,
609
00:31:08,728 --> 00:31:10,311
is, "What do we do now?"
610
00:31:18,446 --> 00:31:20,071
Shit.
611
00:31:33,002 --> 00:31:35,170
First platoon?
612
00:31:36,756 --> 00:31:38,590
Two roger bob, roger five.
613
00:31:38,674 --> 00:31:40,425
My God.
They're moving in.
614
00:31:43,596 --> 00:31:44,886
Yeah, we're leaving our radio on
615
00:31:44,889 --> 00:31:46,719
and we're still waiting to
hear from the last two.
616
00:31:46,724 --> 00:31:49,309
Do you have the temperature radar on?
617
00:31:56,358 --> 00:31:57,358
They're alive.
618
00:31:57,443 --> 00:31:58,526
Okay. Okay.
619
00:32:00,279 --> 00:32:02,238
It's just snow blowing!
620
00:32:02,323 --> 00:32:03,656
Watch my flank.
621
00:32:03,741 --> 00:32:05,909
Get me the A-10 pilot.
I want a goddamn ETA.
622
00:32:05,993 --> 00:32:07,035
They just said 18 minutes.
623
00:32:07,119 --> 00:32:09,996
That was seven minutes ago,
I wanna talk to the pilot now.
624
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,750
Sir, the rescue bird is in its holding
pattern waiting for your word.
625
00:32:16,587 --> 00:32:19,798
All right. So, what? Ernest
and Arian, they volunteered?
626
00:32:19,882 --> 00:32:22,634
Is that a question or an accusation?
627
00:32:23,219 --> 00:32:25,011
All right, it's just a question.
628
00:32:25,095 --> 00:32:26,763
Yes, they volunteered.
629
00:32:26,847 --> 00:32:28,348
They're like adrenaline types, like,
630
00:32:28,432 --> 00:32:29,722
they like it extreme.
Those kind of guys?
631
00:32:29,725 --> 00:32:30,683
No, no.
632
00:32:30,768 --> 00:32:32,685
Ernie and Arian
aren't adrenaline types.
633
00:32:32,770 --> 00:32:35,021
What I was talking about was fearless.
634
00:32:35,105 --> 00:32:39,692
Being terrified but willing
yourself to the next step.
635
00:32:40,027 --> 00:32:42,028
It's courage, right?
636
00:32:42,154 --> 00:32:44,280
But of the real kind.
637
00:32:44,406 --> 00:32:46,533
What are you afraid of, Todd?
638
00:32:47,785 --> 00:32:49,575
Most everybody's afraid of
not getting a job
639
00:32:49,578 --> 00:32:51,079
or moving in with their parents
640
00:32:51,163 --> 00:32:53,206
or student loan payments looming.
641
00:32:53,290 --> 00:32:54,740
Yeah, that all scares me, too, Doc.
642
00:32:54,750 --> 00:32:56,209
Or the voice in your head that keeps
643
00:32:56,293 --> 00:32:57,877
asking really awful questions,
644
00:32:57,962 --> 00:32:59,754
like, "Should I be
doing more with my gifts?"
645
00:32:59,839 --> 00:33:02,882
"Am I making the most out of
my time here on this planet?"
646
00:33:02,967 --> 00:33:05,635
Think everybody asks themselves
those kinda questions.
647
00:33:05,761 --> 00:33:08,972
A lot of us are afraid of the answers.
648
00:33:09,139 --> 00:33:12,725
Do you remember the second or third
lecture you ever had with me?
649
00:33:12,810 --> 00:33:14,477
And I called you out of the blue?
650
00:33:14,562 --> 00:33:16,729
You sat way over to the side
where most of you guys sit
651
00:33:16,814 --> 00:33:18,314
when you don't wanna
be called on to talk?
652
00:33:18,315 --> 00:33:20,775
You know, close enough
to have commitment,
653
00:33:20,860 --> 00:33:25,905
but just far enough away where I
can't see you to call on you.
654
00:33:25,990 --> 00:33:27,156
It's called embarrassment.
655
00:33:27,241 --> 00:33:29,409
You asked me what I thought
about the reading,
656
00:33:29,493 --> 00:33:31,202
and I just said,
"I didn't do the reading."
657
00:33:31,287 --> 00:33:34,747
But on reflex, no excuses,
no bullshit, honest.
658
00:33:34,832 --> 00:33:36,165
I was just terrified.
659
00:33:36,250 --> 00:33:38,668
But you willed
yourself to the next step.
660
00:33:39,336 --> 00:33:41,713
And do you remember the
subject we were discussing?
661
00:33:41,797 --> 00:33:42,997
What that reading was all about?
662
00:33:43,007 --> 00:33:45,550
I try to block embarrassing
moments out, don't you?
663
00:33:45,634 --> 00:33:48,428
It was about that clinic
they were opening up on Adams.
664
00:33:48,512 --> 00:33:50,680
They were passing out clean,
free needles to addicts.
665
00:33:52,141 --> 00:33:54,641
And a class of 80 people thought
that that was a pretty good idea.
666
00:33:54,685 --> 00:33:58,771
They thought, yeah, stop spreading of
disease and maybe cut crime a bit,
667
00:33:58,856 --> 00:33:59,939
and you said...
668
00:34:00,024 --> 00:34:03,443
Look, if we're gonna spend
tax dollars, our tax dollars,
669
00:34:03,527 --> 00:34:05,317
to help people break
the law in a safer way,
670
00:34:05,321 --> 00:34:07,655
why don't we have a
designated drunk-driver lane
671
00:34:07,740 --> 00:34:08,823
on the highway, too?
672
00:34:08,908 --> 00:34:09,949
What?
What?
673
00:34:10,034 --> 00:34:11,843
It's a much bigger problem
than IV drug use.
674
00:34:11,869 --> 00:34:14,078
And it's the exact same logic.
You're talking economics.
675
00:34:14,163 --> 00:34:16,183
Yeah, I'm talking economics, and
I'm also talking about safety.
676
00:34:16,206 --> 00:34:17,248
No, no.
677
00:34:17,333 --> 00:34:18,433
Wait a minute.
You just admitted
678
00:34:18,459 --> 00:34:19,759
you didn't even read the assignment.
679
00:34:19,793 --> 00:34:21,943
I know, I didn't. But I can still think.
I've still got a brain.
680
00:34:21,962 --> 00:34:23,129
He's right.
He's right?
681
00:34:23,213 --> 00:34:24,464
No, no.
682
00:34:24,548 --> 00:34:27,298
Yeah, well, you know. I can kick a
hornet's nest with the best of them, Doc.
683
00:34:27,301 --> 00:34:30,887
Yeah, but the kid who didn't read
the assignment and admitted it
684
00:34:30,971 --> 00:34:34,223
becomes the center of one of
the most interesting debates
685
00:34:34,308 --> 00:34:35,642
I've ever been a part of.
686
00:34:36,310 --> 00:34:37,310
Where did that kid go?
687
00:34:41,190 --> 00:34:43,390
So I take it to mean you think
that the number of troops
688
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,402
that we have in
Afghanistan now is enough.
689
00:34:46,612 --> 00:34:48,571
I do. And a big part of why we're able
690
00:34:48,656 --> 00:34:50,615
to do more with less in Afghanistan,
691
00:34:50,699 --> 00:34:54,160
outside of the precise intel
that we have in the area,
692
00:34:54,244 --> 00:34:56,329
is the superior nature
of our Special Forces.
693
00:34:56,413 --> 00:34:58,581
I mean, these guys,
these guys are pros.
694
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,377
It really reminds
me of Abrams, in '68.
695
00:35:02,461 --> 00:35:05,088
Abrams? Abrams.
Yeah. Remember?
696
00:35:06,256 --> 00:35:07,423
How long ago was that?
697
00:35:07,508 --> 00:35:09,801
Can't get the Vietcong
to engage in big fights,
698
00:35:09,885 --> 00:35:11,219
so we'll send out smaller groups
699
00:35:11,303 --> 00:35:13,179
so that they can't
resist ambushing us.
700
00:35:13,263 --> 00:35:14,555
At least we'll be fighting.
701
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,391
Fifty-eight thousand
names say
702
00:35:16,475 --> 00:35:18,184
that new strategy
didn't work out so well.
703
00:35:18,268 --> 00:35:22,105
What is your problem with evolution?
704
00:35:22,189 --> 00:35:25,733
With utterly capable platoons
of Special Forces soldiers
705
00:35:25,818 --> 00:35:27,360
surgically ferreting out the enemy?
706
00:35:27,444 --> 00:35:28,945
Again, platoons are small.
707
00:35:29,029 --> 00:35:31,781
Again, small is the point.
708
00:35:33,242 --> 00:35:34,867
Abrams.
709
00:35:34,952 --> 00:35:36,786
What, do you TiVo the History Channel?
710
00:35:36,870 --> 00:35:38,371
No.
711
00:35:39,123 --> 00:35:42,083
'68 was my first year reporting.
It was my college newspaper.
712
00:35:42,167 --> 00:35:44,335
Liberal rag?
Yeah.
713
00:35:44,420 --> 00:35:46,129
I never lost my taste for it.
714
00:35:46,755 --> 00:35:48,006
Lucky me.
715
00:35:50,759 --> 00:35:52,218
1968.
716
00:35:52,302 --> 00:35:53,678
Yeah, you were six.
717
00:35:54,096 --> 00:35:55,847
But reading at
a sixth-grade level.
718
00:35:57,683 --> 00:35:59,684
40 years in this racket.
719
00:35:59,768 --> 00:36:01,894
You don't have to say
the duration out loud.
720
00:36:01,979 --> 00:36:05,064
40 years means
you should have enough salt
721
00:36:05,983 --> 00:36:08,526
to know that we're at a tipping point.
722
00:36:08,610 --> 00:36:10,737
Now, the American people
need to understand
723
00:36:10,821 --> 00:36:15,074
it is not only our choice to stop these
insurgents, but our moral obligation.
724
00:36:15,159 --> 00:36:19,912
We simply cannot allow their form
of evil and terror to spread.
725
00:36:19,997 --> 00:36:22,540
And through precise military action,
726
00:36:23,333 --> 00:36:25,251
we will take the essential first step.
727
00:36:25,335 --> 00:36:26,586
First step?
728
00:36:26,670 --> 00:36:30,339
But what have we been doing for
the past six years, Senator?
729
00:36:30,424 --> 00:36:32,925
You know, World War I I
took less than five.
730
00:36:47,399 --> 00:36:50,651
Roll over.
I gotta see your leg.
731
00:36:51,528 --> 00:36:53,029
See if it's compounded.
732
00:36:53,155 --> 00:36:54,697
Oh, God.
733
00:36:58,619 --> 00:36:59,952
Don't black out.
734
00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:01,454
Okay.
735
00:37:23,060 --> 00:37:24,852
You need a tourniquet.
736
00:37:24,937 --> 00:37:26,813
I'm one-handed.
737
00:37:40,661 --> 00:37:42,036
Man.
738
00:37:48,710 --> 00:37:50,670
Push through, brother.
Push through.
739
00:37:50,754 --> 00:37:53,131
Shit.
Rescue's coming.
740
00:38:09,148 --> 00:38:11,498
There's nothing debatable about it, Janine.
The job is not done.
741
00:38:11,525 --> 00:38:12,625
But, Senator, the American people,
742
00:38:12,651 --> 00:38:14,601
if they're going to accept
yet another new strategy,
743
00:38:14,611 --> 00:38:19,740
I think, want more than just vague
admissions of past mistakes.
744
00:38:19,825 --> 00:38:22,118
Can you tell me, in your own words,
745
00:38:22,244 --> 00:38:24,537
exactly where you think we went wrong?
746
00:38:31,378 --> 00:38:33,671
Worst intel in our history.
747
00:38:34,548 --> 00:38:37,717
Decision-makers
who've never bled in a fight.
748
00:38:38,802 --> 00:38:40,094
Bad PR.
749
00:38:41,471 --> 00:38:42,930
Bad PR?
750
00:38:44,224 --> 00:38:46,392
You guys had a heyday with Abu Ghraib.
751
00:38:46,518 --> 00:38:48,686
That was quite the meal ticket.
752
00:38:48,770 --> 00:38:50,980
Have you ever bled in a fight?
753
00:38:52,399 --> 00:38:54,025
Intelligence. Six years.
754
00:38:54,109 --> 00:38:55,818
But not the infantry, right?
755
00:38:55,903 --> 00:38:57,069
You know this.
756
00:38:57,154 --> 00:38:59,864
I graduated first in
my class at West Point.
757
00:38:59,948 --> 00:39:01,199
I excelled at intelligence.
758
00:39:01,283 --> 00:39:03,784
Are you asking me to apologize
for an achievement?
759
00:39:03,869 --> 00:39:06,329
No, no, no.
I would never do that.
760
00:39:13,587 --> 00:39:19,008
You know, here we are,
having a high-minded debate
761
00:39:19,092 --> 00:39:22,678
about war and policy,
and it just occurred to me
762
00:39:23,180 --> 00:39:27,266
that you're not gonna be able to
fit a real story in between those
763
00:39:27,351 --> 00:39:30,269
"home of the free, land of the obese"
764
00:39:30,354 --> 00:39:34,607
exposes and all your network's
entertainment coverage.
765
00:39:36,401 --> 00:39:37,851
Well... Maybe if I keep
my fingers crossed
766
00:39:37,861 --> 00:39:39,445
I might get
a seven-second mention
767
00:39:39,529 --> 00:39:43,324
from that focus-group-created
anchor of yours with the big hair.
768
00:39:43,408 --> 00:39:48,454
Forgive me, it's
Summer Hernandez-Kawalski?
769
00:39:48,538 --> 00:39:51,499
Is that her real name?
770
00:39:53,752 --> 00:39:55,586
What happened to you guys?
771
00:39:55,712 --> 00:39:57,588
When did you all become a windsock?
772
00:39:58,131 --> 00:39:59,966
A what?
Windsock.
773
00:40:00,050 --> 00:40:01,968
Blows with the prevailing breeze.
774
00:40:02,052 --> 00:40:03,469
When did you start confusing
775
00:40:03,553 --> 00:40:05,680
majority opinion
with the right opinion?
776
00:40:05,764 --> 00:40:08,849
Sort of like when we
supported going into Iraq?
777
00:40:09,142 --> 00:40:10,685
Supported?
778
00:40:11,144 --> 00:40:13,771
No, no, no.
You guys sold it.
779
00:40:13,855 --> 00:40:16,983
Your network led every report
about the invasion of Iraq
780
00:40:17,067 --> 00:40:18,901
with a digital
screen-sized flag,
781
00:40:18,986 --> 00:40:20,945
the square-jawed
saluting Marine,
782
00:40:21,029 --> 00:40:23,990
and the bald eagle
soaring to Aaron Copland.
783
00:40:24,074 --> 00:40:25,783
That's because
we believed and you believed
784
00:40:25,867 --> 00:40:27,618
that Iraq was a legitimate enemy,
785
00:40:27,703 --> 00:40:29,203
and you asked us for the
benefit of the doubt...
786
00:40:29,204 --> 00:40:30,329
They are a legitimate enemy.
787
00:40:30,414 --> 00:40:32,614
Because we have troops in harm's
way, so we gave that to you.
788
00:40:32,624 --> 00:40:36,127
Your network provided that
benefit without a blush.
789
00:40:36,962 --> 00:40:38,629
We gave it to you.
790
00:40:41,091 --> 00:40:43,217
We both... Janine?
791
00:40:43,927 --> 00:40:46,012
We both put our fighting men at risk.
792
00:40:48,932 --> 00:40:50,933
Now, I've admitted my mistakes.
793
00:40:52,102 --> 00:40:53,436
When will you?
794
00:40:57,024 --> 00:40:58,733
Call from Senator Skilken on line two.
795
00:40:58,817 --> 00:41:00,609
Thank you. Ask him to
wait a second, please.
796
00:41:02,779 --> 00:41:06,615
You know, in a sense,
we're on the same team.
797
00:41:07,117 --> 00:41:10,286
We're teammates.
We both have a responsibility.
798
00:41:11,288 --> 00:41:12,913
You've already sold the war.
799
00:41:12,998 --> 00:41:15,708
Now I'm asking you
to help me sell the solution.
800
00:41:16,543 --> 00:41:18,586
Excuse me, I have to take this call.
801
00:41:18,712 --> 00:41:20,796
Could use the phone in here.
802
00:41:21,298 --> 00:41:23,799
Do you think I want to let
you hear me beg for money?
803
00:43:11,588 --> 00:43:13,214
Why are they waiting?
804
00:43:13,298 --> 00:43:15,508
May be trying to take us alive.
805
00:43:16,135 --> 00:43:17,677
Figuring out how.
806
00:43:30,065 --> 00:43:31,315
Breathe!
807
00:43:34,069 --> 00:43:35,319
Breathe.
808
00:43:43,871 --> 00:43:46,873
Okay, Team One gets to set the bar.
809
00:43:46,957 --> 00:43:48,332
And the topic they've pulled...
810
00:43:50,044 --> 00:43:53,004
"What foreign relations theory
or concept can best be applied
811
00:43:53,130 --> 00:43:54,714
"here at home
to greater effect?"
812
00:43:54,757 --> 00:43:56,549
Dude, thank God it's not us.
813
00:43:56,633 --> 00:44:00,595
Okay, Team One, you're up.
15 minutes, flame or fame.
814
00:44:15,694 --> 00:44:17,070
That's good.
815
00:44:20,032 --> 00:44:21,407
Man!
Hey.
816
00:44:21,492 --> 00:44:22,617
Hey!
What?
817
00:44:22,701 --> 00:44:23,993
You okay?
You ready to do this?
818
00:44:24,078 --> 00:44:25,161
Yeah.
Breathe.
819
00:44:25,245 --> 00:44:26,287
I'm breathing.
Breathe.
820
00:44:29,374 --> 00:44:30,664
No, no, no, you gotta forgive my boy.
821
00:44:30,667 --> 00:44:32,947
He's so desperate to get
my dumb ass a good grade
822
00:44:32,989 --> 00:44:35,449
he's either gonna shit his
pants or swallow his tongue.
823
00:44:38,328 --> 00:44:40,329
You know why they
cut affirmative action?
824
00:44:40,705 --> 00:44:42,248
It was his G PA.
825
00:44:47,212 --> 00:44:48,837
So what about you, Doc?
826
00:44:48,922 --> 00:44:49,922
What about me?
827
00:44:50,006 --> 00:44:52,633
Well, those who can't do, teach.
828
00:44:53,426 --> 00:44:55,511
Seriously, is being a professor
829
00:44:55,595 --> 00:44:58,097
doing the most with
what you were given?
830
00:44:58,181 --> 00:44:59,807
Are these your gifts?
831
00:44:59,891 --> 00:45:01,642
You got me.
832
00:45:03,687 --> 00:45:06,647
You know, 30 years ago
I had a whole different idea
833
00:45:06,731 --> 00:45:08,941
about what this job was gonna be.
834
00:45:09,025 --> 00:45:10,818
I was gonna publish
theories that would
835
00:45:10,902 --> 00:45:12,778
change the thousands that read them.
836
00:45:12,988 --> 00:45:15,823
The university fathers were
gonna be so impressed with me
837
00:45:15,907 --> 00:45:17,197
that they would
offer me season tickets
838
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,451
on the 50 just to make sure I stayed.
839
00:45:19,536 --> 00:45:21,620
Jesus. That's some
elaborate daydreams there.
840
00:45:21,705 --> 00:45:22,955
Yeah. Aren't they?
841
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:24,290
Yeah.
842
00:45:24,874 --> 00:45:26,584
Papers I do get
published don't get read.
843
00:45:26,710 --> 00:45:28,460
Students do come to me for advice,
844
00:45:28,545 --> 00:45:31,380
but the school still spells my
name wrong on memos and mail.
845
00:45:31,464 --> 00:45:33,465
So, what? You still here for the money?
846
00:45:33,550 --> 00:45:36,635
The money?
God, no. No.
847
00:45:37,804 --> 00:45:40,723
I'm still here, Todd,
because I'm a selfish man.
848
00:45:42,267 --> 00:45:43,976
I'm selfish for the very rare times
849
00:45:44,060 --> 00:45:46,310
when you really know you have
someone in one of your classes
850
00:45:46,313 --> 00:45:49,898
that has rare gifts to go on and
do big things on a big scale.
851
00:45:50,150 --> 00:45:52,484
I realize that my
gifts aren't my theories,
852
00:45:52,569 --> 00:45:54,945
but my ability to recognize
great potential in others,
853
00:45:55,030 --> 00:45:57,740
and maybe give them a little
shove when they need it.
854
00:45:57,907 --> 00:45:59,908
You think I'm one of those people?
855
00:46:00,076 --> 00:46:02,077
What do you think?
856
00:46:04,539 --> 00:46:05,748
Ernest and Arian,
857
00:46:05,915 --> 00:46:08,208
they were able to
show you they were rare?
858
00:46:08,293 --> 00:46:10,002
Like, every day?
859
00:46:10,086 --> 00:46:11,337
Just enough to erase doubt.
860
00:46:11,421 --> 00:46:15,132
No, no. The only real difference
between you and them, Todd,
861
00:46:15,550 --> 00:46:17,700
is that you're a naturally
gifted student. They weren't.
862
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,303
They had to work their asses off.
863
00:46:19,387 --> 00:46:21,096
Didn't come easy for them, like you.
864
00:46:21,181 --> 00:46:23,891
That, and they could also hit
90-mile-an-hour fastballs?
865
00:46:23,975 --> 00:46:25,559
Hey, I'll trade them, Doc.
866
00:46:25,644 --> 00:46:27,394
No, they'd trade you.
867
00:46:27,646 --> 00:46:29,021
They went to these high schools
868
00:46:29,105 --> 00:46:30,939
in the area around where they grew up.
869
00:46:31,024 --> 00:46:33,025
Godforsaken places
that bear no resemblance
870
00:46:33,109 --> 00:46:34,943
to the schools you or I went to.
871
00:46:35,028 --> 00:46:38,989
Metal detectors on every door,
and teachers carrying Mace.
872
00:46:39,074 --> 00:46:42,284
And these awful places
did them not one favor.
873
00:46:43,578 --> 00:46:46,038
Saw the same thing
when I was in Vietnam.
874
00:46:46,122 --> 00:46:47,164
What?
875
00:46:47,248 --> 00:46:49,038
The first guys to sign up
to fight are the very ones
876
00:46:49,042 --> 00:46:51,210
this country really
doesn't treat that well.
877
00:46:51,294 --> 00:46:52,795
And here are Ernest and Arian,
878
00:46:52,921 --> 00:46:54,421
growing up in these neighborhoods
879
00:46:54,506 --> 00:46:56,090
where people butcher each other
880
00:46:56,174 --> 00:46:57,716
for the most
simple-minded shit.
881
00:46:57,801 --> 00:46:59,751
"You were raised in a neighborhood
two blocks south from
882
00:46:59,761 --> 00:47:01,679
"where I was raised
instead of north."
883
00:47:01,763 --> 00:47:04,515
"The rims on your car are
better than mine."
884
00:47:04,599 --> 00:47:06,429
And what do they do after
they scrape themselves up
885
00:47:06,434 --> 00:47:09,395
and get out of these
places in one piece?
886
00:47:09,479 --> 00:47:10,929
They go out to fight
for the very country
887
00:47:10,939 --> 00:47:12,439
that all but ignores
these neighborhoods
888
00:47:12,482 --> 00:47:15,484
unless there's a riot
or a drive-by epidemic.
889
00:47:15,568 --> 00:47:16,860
Then on the flip side,
890
00:47:16,945 --> 00:47:18,345
you got kids that can take advantage
891
00:47:18,363 --> 00:47:20,322
of every single gift this country has.
892
00:47:21,074 --> 00:47:22,116
Just like me, right?
893
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,827
And usually they're the first
ones to take a big step back
894
00:47:24,911 --> 00:47:27,830
when it comes time for volunteers.
895
00:47:28,915 --> 00:47:30,624
Are you recruiting me?
896
00:47:30,709 --> 00:47:32,209
Recruiting you?
897
00:47:32,419 --> 00:47:34,086
You sold the army to Ernest and Arian
898
00:47:34,170 --> 00:47:37,381
and now you're
trying to sell it to me.
899
00:47:40,927 --> 00:47:43,262
Three guys in that
photo never came home.
900
00:47:43,888 --> 00:47:45,639
One guy's in prison for life.
901
00:47:46,558 --> 00:47:49,351
You wanna know what the
worst wound I ever got was?
902
00:47:51,354 --> 00:47:54,940
Fifty-four stitches protesting
in Chicago after I came home.
903
00:47:55,024 --> 00:47:57,901
I did just the opposite of
recruiting Ernest and Arian.
904
00:47:57,986 --> 00:47:59,319
Did I like what they did?
No.
905
00:47:59,404 --> 00:48:01,854
Did I agree with what they did?
No. In fact, it broke my heart.
906
00:48:01,865 --> 00:48:04,283
But that doesn't mean I don't
revere the reasons they went.
907
00:48:04,367 --> 00:48:06,167
They took action because they believed
908
00:48:06,202 --> 00:48:09,496
the best way to change things in
this country was to go fight for it.
909
00:48:09,664 --> 00:48:11,165
Engagement.
910
00:48:11,249 --> 00:48:13,292
Engagement is
the foreign relations concept
911
00:48:13,376 --> 00:48:15,711
that we would like
to apply here at home.
912
00:48:15,837 --> 00:48:18,130
We're pretty good with it abroad.
913
00:48:18,214 --> 00:48:22,676
Cur Secretary of State has traveled
more miles than any in history,
914
00:48:22,761 --> 00:48:24,970
and we have more embassies than ever.
915
00:48:25,054 --> 00:48:26,847
To your first point, isn't that just
916
00:48:26,931 --> 00:48:28,807
because of easy access to jets?
917
00:48:28,892 --> 00:48:30,684
And to the second, aren't there just
918
00:48:30,769 --> 00:48:33,020
more countries now
to put embassies in?
919
00:48:34,230 --> 00:48:36,190
We can choose not to fly those jets
920
00:48:36,274 --> 00:48:39,067
and we can choose not to
recognize any new country,
921
00:48:39,569 --> 00:48:42,696
but choosing to do so,
I guess, is engagement.
922
00:48:44,073 --> 00:48:48,744
Again, we're pretty good with
engagement outside of our country,
923
00:48:48,828 --> 00:48:50,537
even though we've
had some big failures.
924
00:48:50,622 --> 00:48:52,080
Like?
925
00:48:52,582 --> 00:48:55,793
Like 9/11 and Rwanda.
926
00:48:55,877 --> 00:48:57,002
Somalia.
927
00:48:57,086 --> 00:48:59,254
There's a communist country
90 miles outside of Miami.
928
00:48:59,339 --> 00:49:02,174
And we just need a lot more than
15 minutes to talk about that.
929
00:49:02,258 --> 00:49:03,801
Yeah, well, no country's perfect.
930
00:49:03,885 --> 00:49:06,094
Every country should wanna be better.
931
00:49:06,888 --> 00:49:08,972
Look, homeboy, if you cool with that,
932
00:49:09,057 --> 00:49:11,016
we would like to use
the rest of the time
933
00:49:11,100 --> 00:49:13,143
we have left to focus on engagement
934
00:49:13,228 --> 00:49:17,523
and how we see it abroad and we
don't see the same on our streets.
935
00:49:17,607 --> 00:49:21,610
Now, we totally turned away from
the biggest problems here at home,
936
00:49:21,694 --> 00:49:23,994
even though the best way to
double the size of the problem
937
00:49:24,030 --> 00:49:25,489
is just to turn your back on it.
938
00:49:25,573 --> 00:49:28,075
Yeah, so who knew?
America needs to do more.
939
00:49:28,159 --> 00:49:29,785
- We do.
- Why?
940
00:49:31,079 --> 00:49:32,454
We do.
941
00:49:35,082 --> 00:49:37,382
Like, do away with your
junior year of high school.
942
00:49:38,085 --> 00:49:40,753
And there's three options instead
of just going to school.
943
00:49:40,837 --> 00:49:42,588
You get a Peace Corps year abroad,
944
00:49:42,673 --> 00:49:46,676
an AmeriCorps year here in one
of the 500 poorest zip codes,
945
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,804
or an ROTC-like apprenticeship
here or abroad,
946
00:49:49,888 --> 00:49:53,057
but everybody picks one, and
nobody gets a note from Mom.
947
00:49:53,141 --> 00:49:54,892
Man, come on.
Is this another joke?
948
00:49:54,976 --> 00:49:56,686
No, man.
Was democracy a joke?
949
00:49:56,770 --> 00:49:58,020
It's the truth.
950
00:49:58,105 --> 00:49:59,313
Was civil rights a joke?
951
00:49:59,398 --> 00:50:01,941
How about every junior then also
learns to march in formation,
952
00:50:02,025 --> 00:50:03,275
and we invade our neighbors?
953
00:50:04,486 --> 00:50:06,320
We would get lost on the way.
954
00:50:06,405 --> 00:50:07,571
Oh, man.
955
00:50:07,656 --> 00:50:10,449
Listen, 73% of all California freshmen
956
00:50:10,534 --> 00:50:13,786
cannot name the country that
borders Minnesota. Can you?
957
00:50:14,121 --> 00:50:19,291
77% of all US freshmen cannot name
both senators from their home state.
958
00:50:19,376 --> 00:50:24,505
And 50% of all 8th graders can't write
or do math at 8th-grade levels.
959
00:50:24,589 --> 00:50:27,341
And when 25% of
our workers didn't function,
960
00:50:27,426 --> 00:50:28,718
we called it a Great Depression.
961
00:50:28,802 --> 00:50:31,804
Now, what do we call 50% of
our students not functioning?
962
00:50:33,265 --> 00:50:36,392
A Greater Depression?
And Canada borders Minnesota.
963
00:50:37,811 --> 00:50:39,729
That's the smartest thing
you've said all day.
964
00:50:41,148 --> 00:50:42,398
Yeah, but what about cost?
965
00:50:42,482 --> 00:50:43,632
I think he means, "How ridiculous
966
00:50:43,650 --> 00:50:44,800
"and infeasible
would they be?"
967
00:50:44,818 --> 00:50:45,818
I mean, come on...
968
00:50:45,902 --> 00:50:47,152
Not as ridiculous as the nine grand
969
00:50:47,154 --> 00:50:48,696
we spend per student per year.
970
00:50:48,780 --> 00:50:51,907
Nine grand times,
what, 3.8 million juniors?
971
00:50:52,033 --> 00:50:54,033
That's 34 billion dollars, man.
34 billion dollars.
972
00:50:54,035 --> 00:50:57,455
We spend two billion dollars more
now than we did five years back.
973
00:50:57,539 --> 00:50:58,581
And for worse results.
974
00:50:58,665 --> 00:51:00,416
Who wouldn't wanna be
part of an experience
975
00:51:00,500 --> 00:51:01,959
where it's not about your race,
976
00:51:02,043 --> 00:51:04,628
it's not about your wealth,
not even where you come from.
977
00:51:04,921 --> 00:51:06,922
Common only because we're American.
978
00:51:07,007 --> 00:51:09,508
I guarantee you that would
make us better for life.
979
00:51:10,135 --> 00:51:12,762
And the shame is, we don't get
that type of level playing ground,
980
00:51:12,846 --> 00:51:16,390
not in this country,
unless there's a draft.
981
00:51:19,686 --> 00:51:23,022
So I'd have to stay in
school a year longer?
982
00:51:23,690 --> 00:51:25,566
You've been here eight years, bro.
983
00:51:27,569 --> 00:51:29,570
We could all...
With all the degrees
984
00:51:29,654 --> 00:51:31,071
and all the money we're gonna make,
985
00:51:31,156 --> 00:51:33,949
go hide in a big house
with high walls.
986
00:51:34,034 --> 00:51:36,869
When hasn't a big house with high
walls been the American dream?
987
00:51:37,204 --> 00:51:38,913
Good point.
988
00:51:39,456 --> 00:51:41,874
July 5, 1776.
989
00:51:42,292 --> 00:51:45,169
What about December 8, 1941?
990
00:51:45,253 --> 00:51:47,797
September 12, 2001?
991
00:51:48,215 --> 00:51:49,965
So you two don't
wanna go to Harvard Law
992
00:51:50,050 --> 00:51:52,051
or Stanford Business
after you graduate here?
993
00:51:52,135 --> 00:51:53,636
You don't wanna make money?
994
00:51:53,720 --> 00:51:57,264
I say bullshit. I think it's totally
hypocritical for you to just
995
00:51:57,349 --> 00:51:58,891
talk this giant game.
996
00:52:01,561 --> 00:52:02,728
Let's do this.
997
00:52:03,188 --> 00:52:04,188
All right.
998
00:52:09,319 --> 00:52:11,362
What?
999
00:52:12,656 --> 00:52:13,739
They gotta be kidding.
1000
00:52:13,824 --> 00:52:14,865
Whoa.
1001
00:52:14,950 --> 00:52:15,950
That's weird.
1002
00:52:17,911 --> 00:52:19,745
Are they kidding?
1003
00:52:22,415 --> 00:52:23,999
- No way.
- Is that serious?
1004
00:52:25,892 --> 00:52:27,893
Thank you.
Thank you.
1005
00:52:35,193 --> 00:52:36,819
Doc, what's going on with you?
1006
00:52:36,903 --> 00:52:38,503
Look like you getting
ulcers over there.
1007
00:52:38,530 --> 00:52:39,989
No. I've had the ulcers.
1008
00:52:40,073 --> 00:52:41,573
Question is whether
or not they're bleeding.
1009
00:52:41,574 --> 00:52:42,825
You gotta stop worrying,
1010
00:52:42,909 --> 00:52:44,660
thinking that that
project made us enlist.
1011
00:52:44,744 --> 00:52:46,787
It didn't.
I don't believe that.
1012
00:52:46,871 --> 00:52:48,271
Come on, you guys.
You two could pick
1013
00:52:48,290 --> 00:52:49,999
any grad school in any field you want.
1014
00:52:50,083 --> 00:52:52,293
$200,000 in the hole
the day you graduate.
1015
00:52:52,377 --> 00:52:53,711
Loan forgiveness programs?
1016
00:52:53,795 --> 00:52:58,674
Yeah, there are programs, but they're
not as forgiving as they advertise.
1017
00:52:58,758 --> 00:53:00,608
Arian's doing a lot of
talking for both of you.
1018
00:53:00,635 --> 00:53:03,220
You think he did
the math all by himself?
1019
00:53:03,555 --> 00:53:07,182
Doc, you're the one who told us
not to live over a safety net.
1020
00:53:07,267 --> 00:53:08,767
I didn't think that
was gonna translate
1021
00:53:08,768 --> 00:53:10,102
to you guys heading out to a war.
1022
00:53:10,186 --> 00:53:12,146
If I did, I would've cut my tongue out.
1023
00:53:12,230 --> 00:53:14,106
I think you're missing
the point, Doc. Yeah.
1024
00:53:14,190 --> 00:53:16,400
Why? Because I can't see
the army as a better gig
1025
00:53:16,484 --> 00:53:19,084
than graduate schools most students
would give an arm to get into?
1026
00:53:19,112 --> 00:53:22,323
No, because you're not seeing
that if we did anything else,
1027
00:53:22,407 --> 00:53:25,701
we wouldn't be a part of the most
important things going on right now.
1028
00:53:25,785 --> 00:53:28,287
Doc, these events are
gonna define our lives.
1029
00:53:28,371 --> 00:53:31,081
Just the same way
Vietnam did for yours.
1030
00:53:32,167 --> 00:53:34,460
I didn't enlist.
I was drafted.
1031
00:53:37,672 --> 00:53:39,882
World War I,
1032
00:53:39,966 --> 00:53:43,719
German soldiers wrote poems about
the bravery of British grunts,
1033
00:53:43,803 --> 00:53:45,971
admired them, almost as
much as they laughed at
1034
00:53:46,056 --> 00:53:50,856
the British high command who wasted those
same grunts by the hundreds of thousands.
1035
00:53:50,935 --> 00:53:52,853
German general wrote,
1036
00:53:52,937 --> 00:53:56,315
"Nowhere else have I seen
such lions led by such lambs."
1037
00:53:57,525 --> 00:54:00,736
Gosh, that statement
is so dead-on right now.
1038
00:54:00,820 --> 00:54:02,821
These starched collars
that started this war,
1039
00:54:02,906 --> 00:54:04,406
that are running it now,
1040
00:54:04,491 --> 00:54:08,452
nowhere near the best and the brightest,
not even in the same galaxy.
1041
00:54:08,536 --> 00:54:11,038
They're the ones that, when some
of our men are blown to bits
1042
00:54:11,122 --> 00:54:13,540
in the middle of a gun battle,
say shit like,
1043
00:54:13,625 --> 00:54:15,584
"The enemy may have bloodied our nose,
1044
00:54:15,668 --> 00:54:17,211
"but we're learning
from our mistakes."
1045
00:54:17,295 --> 00:54:20,005
We agree.
What's the problem?
1046
00:54:20,090 --> 00:54:22,490
"So, what's the problem?"
What are you talking about?
1047
00:54:22,592 --> 00:54:24,802
Yeah, I mean, we already
know how the system works.
1048
00:54:24,886 --> 00:54:26,428
Guys, think. Think!
1049
00:54:26,513 --> 00:54:27,930
We've thought that far ahead.
1050
00:54:28,014 --> 00:54:31,725
Because it's going badly makes
it even more important, Doc.
1051
00:54:32,477 --> 00:54:35,187
I don't...
What do you mean?
1052
00:54:35,271 --> 00:54:38,440
We wouldn't have spent three weeks in
school on Nixon without Watergate.
1053
00:54:38,525 --> 00:54:40,609
If we killed bin Laden on 9/12,
1054
00:54:40,693 --> 00:54:43,821
or if Iraqi Shiites greeted
us with a ticker-tape parade,
1055
00:54:43,905 --> 00:54:46,824
we would never have to think about
things like, "Who are these people?"
1056
00:54:46,908 --> 00:54:49,076
"Does religion
really preach murder?"
1057
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:50,700
"Do they really
need a dictator to stop
1058
00:54:50,703 --> 00:54:52,329
"themselves from
massacring each other?"
1059
00:54:52,414 --> 00:54:55,290
The greatest military in history
can't catch three guys.
1060
00:54:55,375 --> 00:54:56,375
Come on.
1061
00:54:56,459 --> 00:54:58,794
And how do you preach democracy
1062
00:54:58,878 --> 00:55:01,505
and still send billions to Saudi kings
1063
00:55:01,589 --> 00:55:03,039
who are the furthest thing from it?
1064
00:55:03,049 --> 00:55:04,758
So just load yourselves
into the breech?
1065
00:55:04,843 --> 00:55:06,260
Or sit on the bench.
1066
00:55:06,344 --> 00:55:09,930
The men who lead are the ones that do
work when there's work to be done.
1067
00:55:10,014 --> 00:55:11,640
Will you step up when you're needed,
1068
00:55:11,724 --> 00:55:15,769
or will you just sit back and let the
other people do the lifting for you?
1069
00:55:15,854 --> 00:55:17,563
They're just simple questions.
1070
00:55:17,730 --> 00:55:19,481
With potentially really awful answers.
1071
00:55:19,566 --> 00:55:20,566
Guys, trust me.
1072
00:55:20,650 --> 00:55:22,734
Please trust that if
I thought this fight
1073
00:55:22,819 --> 00:55:25,279
was worth the sweat, I'd back you.
1074
00:55:25,780 --> 00:55:26,947
I would.
1075
00:55:27,031 --> 00:55:28,615
But what about stepping up here?
1076
00:55:28,700 --> 00:55:30,242
Changing policy at home?
1077
00:55:30,326 --> 00:55:33,287
Look, we go do this now, then
we come back and go to school.
1078
00:55:33,371 --> 00:55:35,747
On the army's dime.
Then we can do something.
1079
00:55:35,832 --> 00:55:39,460
Black and Mexican combat vets
with an education.
1080
00:55:39,544 --> 00:55:41,503
Goddamn!
1081
00:55:41,588 --> 00:55:43,881
No debt to dictate what we do next.
1082
00:55:43,965 --> 00:55:45,883
They gotta listen to us then, Doc.
1083
00:55:46,009 --> 00:55:47,926
We can change things.
1084
00:55:50,305 --> 00:55:51,905
If.
1085
00:56:28,927 --> 00:56:30,969
So why isn't Tali just rushing them?
Finishing it?
1086
00:56:31,054 --> 00:56:33,222
'Cause we're worth more
captured than killed.
1087
00:56:33,306 --> 00:56:36,058
The pilot.
ETA to my boys.
1088
00:56:36,142 --> 00:56:37,226
Nineteen minutes, sir.
1089
00:56:37,310 --> 00:56:39,561
All right, when you get
there, you shoot straight.
1090
00:56:39,646 --> 00:56:41,846
I want you to apprise the
rescue chopper of all of this.
1091
00:56:41,856 --> 00:56:43,524
You tell them we
got an A-10 bomber
1092
00:56:43,608 --> 00:56:45,308
moving in there to
attempt to clean it out,
1093
00:56:45,318 --> 00:56:49,571
but they are heading into a still-hot
LZ with exposed friendlies.
1094
00:56:49,656 --> 00:56:51,236
I want you to make sure
that this is heading
1095
00:56:51,241 --> 00:56:52,741
the correct way up the command chain.
1096
00:56:52,742 --> 00:56:53,784
You understand me?
1097
00:56:53,868 --> 00:56:57,663
You tell them this is not as easy
as it looks 9,000 miles away.
1098
00:56:59,999 --> 00:57:02,167
Janine? I'm sorry
to keep you waiting.
1099
00:57:02,252 --> 00:57:03,502
There's a vote up now, so I...
1100
00:57:03,586 --> 00:57:05,254
Can I just...
1101
00:57:05,338 --> 00:57:09,424
In 1991 my network, ANX,
was bought by a corporation
1102
00:57:09,509 --> 00:57:13,262
best known for selling
soap and light bulbs.
1103
00:57:13,346 --> 00:57:16,098
And overnight we went
from a news organization
1104
00:57:16,182 --> 00:57:19,059
preoccupied with gathering
news, to a business unit
1105
00:57:19,143 --> 00:57:22,020
preoccupied with
ad revenue and ratings.
1106
00:57:23,690 --> 00:57:25,899
A windsock. And I knew it.
1107
00:57:25,984 --> 00:57:27,401
When I signed my contract, I knew.
1108
00:57:27,485 --> 00:57:29,778
But I thought I could
keep my autonomy, you know.
1109
00:57:29,862 --> 00:57:32,662
I thought that little raise they gave
me meant they were still committed
1110
00:57:32,699 --> 00:57:35,075
to hard news, but, anyway...
1111
00:57:35,285 --> 00:57:38,370
Janine. Sit. Please.
1112
00:57:47,130 --> 00:57:48,755
Thank you for that.
1113
00:57:48,881 --> 00:57:50,549
It's just the truth.
1114
00:57:51,301 --> 00:57:52,467
How can I...
1115
00:57:53,636 --> 00:57:56,054
How can I verify
the results of this mission?
1116
00:57:56,139 --> 00:57:58,139
You're not gonna be embedding
press with these troops, are you?
1117
00:57:58,141 --> 00:57:59,766
No, no, no. There's no room. Right.
1118
00:57:59,851 --> 00:58:02,352
Special Forces travel fast and light,
1119
00:58:02,437 --> 00:58:04,727
but I can provide the infrared
and the gun-camera footage.
1120
00:58:04,731 --> 00:58:05,814
That's great.
That's great.
1121
00:58:05,898 --> 00:58:07,748
Those are always the most popular
downloads from our website.
1122
00:58:07,775 --> 00:58:10,444
And any developing details will
come directly from me to you.
1123
00:58:10,528 --> 00:58:11,987
Great. Thank you.
Yeah.
1124
00:58:12,071 --> 00:58:13,447
Now let me kill the good feeling.
1125
00:58:13,573 --> 00:58:14,948
You? Really?
1126
00:58:15,033 --> 00:58:16,908
Worst-case scenario...
1127
00:58:18,077 --> 00:58:19,536
Forward operating points don't work.
1128
00:58:19,621 --> 00:58:21,288
They will work.
1129
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:23,957
Have you...
Has the President
1130
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,418
contemplated surging the troops?
1131
00:58:27,337 --> 00:58:30,213
In support of this strategy,
if it's necessary?
1132
00:58:30,298 --> 00:58:33,175
Military's stretched
pretty thin right now.
1133
00:58:33,259 --> 00:58:35,344
Maybe you'll have to send
kids didn't sign up to go?
1134
00:58:35,428 --> 00:58:38,388
A draft? No, no, no. We don't need it.
1135
00:58:38,473 --> 00:58:41,350
We have everything we need
to break the enemy right now,
1136
00:58:41,434 --> 00:58:43,268
except the public will to do it.
1137
00:58:43,436 --> 00:58:45,270
That's where you come in.
1138
00:58:47,398 --> 00:58:50,067
But how do we know you're
gonna get it right this time?
1139
00:58:50,151 --> 00:58:52,694
You know, people are very mistrustful.
1140
00:58:52,779 --> 00:58:55,405
You know, after 9/11 we had
the whole world on our side.
1141
00:58:55,490 --> 00:58:57,032
Here we are six years later,
1142
00:58:57,116 --> 00:58:59,696
stumbling through one of the worst
times ever to be an American.
1143
00:58:59,702 --> 00:59:02,492
Look, come on, Janine.
Hyperbole is not gonna do us any good. It's...
1144
00:59:02,497 --> 00:59:05,207
Come on. Nobody is monitoring
our patriotism here.
1145
00:59:05,291 --> 00:59:08,043
You have to admit, this is
one of the five worst times
1146
00:59:08,127 --> 00:59:10,837
to fly the Stars and Stripes.
People need a...
1147
00:59:10,922 --> 00:59:12,923
A win, Janine.
1148
00:59:13,132 --> 00:59:16,051
The people, the President, me.
1149
00:59:16,177 --> 00:59:19,137
We all need a win in Afghanistan.
1150
00:59:19,222 --> 00:59:21,098
Winning allows our public to refocus.
1151
00:59:21,182 --> 00:59:24,851
Winning gets Congress back in the
mood to talk instead of yell.
1152
00:59:24,936 --> 00:59:26,136
And it helps
the people of Afghanistan...
1153
00:59:26,145 --> 00:59:27,270
That goes without saying.
1154
00:59:27,355 --> 00:59:29,106
And it helps your party.
1155
00:59:29,190 --> 00:59:31,733
Because we are the party
that represents security,
1156
00:59:31,818 --> 00:59:33,735
the power that this
country is known for,
1157
00:59:33,820 --> 00:59:36,154
the party that signals
tyrants the world over
1158
00:59:36,239 --> 00:59:39,908
that the USA has the stomach and
stamina to finish our fights.
1159
00:59:39,992 --> 00:59:41,159
Finish?
1160
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:42,994
Do you wanna win, Janine?
1161
00:59:43,079 --> 00:59:44,204
What?
1162
00:59:44,288 --> 00:59:47,082
Do you wanna win the War on Terror?
Yes or no?
1163
00:59:48,251 --> 00:59:50,377
Yes or no?
It's... It's a broad...
1164
00:59:50,461 --> 00:59:51,461
Okay, you see this,
1165
00:59:51,546 --> 00:59:54,089
this is the quintessential yes
or no question of our time.
1166
00:59:54,173 --> 00:59:55,323
But this...
Equivocation is defeat.
1167
00:59:56,426 --> 00:59:57,726
You stop for a second and you're dead.
1168
00:59:57,760 --> 00:59:59,761
The only option for America...
1169
00:59:59,846 --> 01:00:03,306
Excuse me. The general would
like to see you, sir.
1170
01:00:08,062 --> 01:00:09,396
Excuse me.
1171
01:00:13,693 --> 01:00:15,110
Irving.
1172
01:00:33,546 --> 01:00:34,546
When?
1173
01:00:36,591 --> 01:00:37,716
Ammo!
1174
01:01:11,417 --> 01:01:12,751
Reloading!
1175
01:01:13,628 --> 01:01:14,920
How much ammo do they have left?
1176
01:01:15,004 --> 01:01:16,838
How the fuck would I know?
1177
01:01:16,923 --> 01:01:18,340
Why aren't the Tali hitting them?
1178
01:01:18,424 --> 01:01:20,759
I think they're trying to get
them to empty their clips.
1179
01:01:20,843 --> 01:01:22,052
No.
They're still there, sir.
1180
01:01:24,555 --> 01:01:26,097
Keep me posted.
1181
01:01:31,979 --> 01:01:34,856
It's just covering fire!
Save your ammo!
1182
01:01:51,207 --> 01:01:52,957
I tell you what,
I am sick and tired, Janine.
1183
01:01:52,959 --> 01:01:56,044
I am sick and tired
of being humiliated.
1184
01:01:56,128 --> 01:01:58,797
Over and over again we have
allowed our great country
1185
01:01:58,881 --> 01:02:04,469
to be threatened by these
little, tribal, ragtag gangs.
1186
01:02:04,679 --> 01:02:06,638
And it's going to stop.
1187
01:02:10,142 --> 01:02:12,394
Do you realize what we've got?
1188
01:02:13,145 --> 01:02:15,814
Do you realize what our capability is?
1189
01:02:19,026 --> 01:02:25,115
Because God knows, it breaks my heart
1190
01:02:25,199 --> 01:02:28,326
to ask the men and women in uniform
1191
01:02:28,411 --> 01:02:31,830
to risk their lives for this victory,
1192
01:02:32,206 --> 01:02:35,417
when I know in my gut there
is no other way to that end.
1193
01:02:35,501 --> 01:02:37,085
Not with this enemy.
1194
01:02:37,169 --> 01:02:38,837
Not with their medieval beliefs.
1195
01:02:42,758 --> 01:02:47,804
But the solace that I can provide
the families of our fallen,
1196
01:02:47,889 --> 01:02:51,766
with absolute conviction,
1197
01:02:51,851 --> 01:02:55,020
is that at least their lives
were about something.
1198
01:03:04,864 --> 01:03:06,740
Now, to tax Internet transactions
1199
01:03:06,824 --> 01:03:08,742
or not tax Internet transactions.
1200
01:03:08,826 --> 01:03:10,827
That is the question.
1201
01:03:10,912 --> 01:03:12,078
- Marcia?
- Senator?
1202
01:03:12,163 --> 01:03:13,788
My notes, please.
1203
01:03:16,709 --> 01:03:18,960
This is your strategy, is it not, sir?
1204
01:03:19,045 --> 01:03:21,046
It is the product of new
school military thinking.
1205
01:03:21,130 --> 01:03:22,714
And you are the new school.
1206
01:03:22,798 --> 01:03:24,128
You have the ear of the President
1207
01:03:24,133 --> 01:03:25,467
more than the Defense Secretary.
1208
01:03:25,551 --> 01:03:27,135
So?
1209
01:03:27,219 --> 01:03:28,803
So, if it succeeds
with your name on it,
1210
01:03:28,888 --> 01:03:31,181
it's a great way of
separating yourself out
1211
01:03:31,265 --> 01:03:33,141
from the rest of
the pack in your party
1212
01:03:33,225 --> 01:03:35,143
who would like to be president.
1213
01:03:35,227 --> 01:03:37,771
Let me state this
as loudly as possible.
1214
01:03:38,564 --> 01:03:40,231
I'm not running for president.
1215
01:03:44,278 --> 01:03:45,946
This has been a good hour.
1216
01:03:46,030 --> 01:03:47,489
This is a big story.
1217
01:03:47,573 --> 01:03:49,032
And it's yours.
1218
01:03:49,116 --> 01:03:50,784
This is my direct number.
1219
01:03:50,910 --> 01:03:52,577
Call if you have any questions.
1220
01:03:52,662 --> 01:03:53,662
Thank you.
1221
01:03:53,746 --> 01:03:55,246
Marcia, could you come in, please?
1222
01:03:55,331 --> 01:03:56,623
Absolutely.
1223
01:04:08,219 --> 01:04:11,054
He's over at the
Department of Agriculture.
1224
01:04:51,178 --> 01:04:53,138
Hey!
Yeah?
1225
01:05:14,785 --> 01:05:17,746
Any idea how many left?
A dozen or more. I don't know.
1226
01:05:17,830 --> 01:05:19,066
Get on the phone
with the A-10,
1227
01:05:19,109 --> 01:05:21,151
tell him to keep making runs
until he's out of ammo.
1228
01:05:21,236 --> 01:05:23,153
ETA on the rescue bird is six minutes.
1229
01:05:23,238 --> 01:05:24,947
Headwinds.
1230
01:05:25,490 --> 01:05:27,741
Put me back on with the pilot.
1231
01:05:35,583 --> 01:05:37,167
Can they see us?
1232
01:05:52,809 --> 01:05:54,351
Is it over?
1233
01:05:54,436 --> 01:05:56,145
For us if they lived!
1234
01:05:56,438 --> 01:05:57,688
Eyes up!
1235
01:06:06,781 --> 01:06:08,365
So I'm supposed to go implement
1236
01:06:08,450 --> 01:06:10,451
Arian and Ernie's junior year project,
1237
01:06:10,535 --> 01:06:13,662
even though that thing sounds
like a fairy tale to me?
1238
01:06:13,747 --> 01:06:14,997
You gave them an A for that?
1239
01:06:15,081 --> 01:06:16,248
I gave them a B+.
1240
01:06:16,332 --> 01:06:18,083
What? A B+, they were
loose on their stats.
1241
01:06:18,168 --> 01:06:19,418
No, I heard you.
1242
01:06:19,502 --> 01:06:21,832
Why aren't you telling me about
the students who got an A?
1243
01:06:21,838 --> 01:06:23,338
'Cause I don't
remember them right now.
1244
01:06:23,339 --> 01:06:26,592
So, what? Attendance is a prerequisite
for you, but grades aren't?
1245
01:06:26,676 --> 01:06:28,343
Aha!
1246
01:06:28,428 --> 01:06:31,513
You're on to the secret now, Todd.
It's called "potential."
1247
01:06:31,598 --> 01:06:34,224
And believe me, that's a far
better signal of what you might do
1248
01:06:34,309 --> 01:06:35,684
than getting an A in some class
1249
01:06:35,769 --> 01:06:37,561
you might forget
about in two, three years.
1250
01:06:37,645 --> 01:06:39,521
Sounds a lot like
what kids with 2.4s
1251
01:06:39,647 --> 01:06:41,947
tell themselves to justify all the C's.
No, no, no, no, no.
1252
01:06:41,983 --> 01:06:43,776
That's very nice, but neither got C's.
1253
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:46,445
Maybe both got
blue-collar B's.
1254
01:06:46,571 --> 01:06:48,655
Not by quitting.
1255
01:06:49,699 --> 01:06:51,909
You happy they're over there?
1256
01:06:51,993 --> 01:06:54,828
Todd, I told you twice, I did
everything I could to stop them.
1257
01:06:54,913 --> 01:06:56,023
But revered the reasons they didn't?
1258
01:06:56,039 --> 01:06:57,164
Yeah.
1259
01:06:57,248 --> 01:06:59,124
So I'm supposed to
listen to your advice.
1260
01:06:59,209 --> 01:07:01,210
This direction
you're trying to give me,
1261
01:07:01,294 --> 01:07:03,837
even though that the two
you've been telling me about
1262
01:07:04,172 --> 01:07:05,589
didn't listen?
1263
01:07:05,673 --> 01:07:09,092
They went ahead.
They did what they were gonna do anyway.
1264
01:07:09,177 --> 01:07:14,181
Okay, maybe, just maybe, you might
be dropping the hammer on me
1265
01:07:14,265 --> 01:07:17,017
because of how rarely you find
1266
01:07:17,101 --> 01:07:18,769
a student you think is worth the time
1267
01:07:18,853 --> 01:07:24,149
and how often it sounds like
you failed at getting through
1268
01:07:24,609 --> 01:07:26,193
once you did find those students.
1269
01:07:26,277 --> 01:07:31,782
Actually, the failing started
about 10, maybe 15 years ago.
1270
01:07:32,367 --> 01:07:34,576
You know, the truth is, Todd,
1271
01:07:34,702 --> 01:07:37,120
I used to knock meetings
like this out of the park.
1272
01:07:37,205 --> 01:07:38,330
And what changed?
1273
01:07:38,414 --> 01:07:40,874
You. Students
sitting across from me.
1274
01:07:40,959 --> 01:07:43,109
'Cause we're more shrewd.
'Cause we see how things work.
1275
01:07:43,127 --> 01:07:46,004
'Cause we don't wanna die
for these pieces of shit.
1276
01:07:46,089 --> 01:07:48,239
Because you wanna put as much
distance between yourself
1277
01:07:48,258 --> 01:07:50,558
and the real world as possible.
And these pieces of shit...
1278
01:07:50,593 --> 01:07:52,343
And by the way, how many times
are you gonna say that?
1279
01:07:52,345 --> 01:07:54,638
They bank on your apathy.
1280
01:07:54,722 --> 01:07:57,140
They bank on your willful ignorance.
1281
01:07:57,392 --> 01:07:59,643
They plan strategies around it.
1282
01:07:59,727 --> 01:08:02,127
They try to figure out how much they
can get away with because of it.
1283
01:08:02,146 --> 01:08:03,772
So blame me for it all.
1284
01:08:03,857 --> 01:08:06,441
Blame me 'cause I might just
wanna live the good life.
1285
01:08:06,526 --> 01:08:09,027
Because I can.
Because I'm smart enough to.
1286
01:08:09,112 --> 01:08:11,572
You're gonna blame me
because I don't wanna work
1287
01:08:11,656 --> 01:08:14,992
elbow to elbow with you
on a goddamn collective farm?
1288
01:08:15,076 --> 01:08:17,911
Doc, you are sounding a hell
of a lot like my parents.
1289
01:08:17,996 --> 01:08:19,896
They're always harping on how
they're giving me a better life
1290
01:08:19,914 --> 01:08:20,956
than they ever had,
1291
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:22,958
and then they resent the shit out of me
1292
01:08:23,042 --> 01:08:24,492
'cause I got the nerve to enjoy it.
1293
01:08:24,502 --> 01:08:27,880
Todd, what good is a $90,000 Benz
1294
01:08:27,964 --> 01:08:30,507
if there's not only
not enough gas in the tank,
1295
01:08:30,592 --> 01:08:32,843
but the streets and the highways
1296
01:08:32,927 --> 01:08:35,304
are decaying to the point
of becoming Third World.
1297
01:08:35,388 --> 01:08:40,100
If all your rants about Congress
and politics are true, Todd,
1298
01:08:40,184 --> 01:08:43,520
if things are really bad,
as bad as you say they are,
1299
01:08:43,605 --> 01:08:45,022
when thousands of American troops
1300
01:08:45,106 --> 01:08:46,456
are dead and more are dying every day,
1301
01:08:46,482 --> 01:08:48,400
probably as we speak, you tell me,
1302
01:08:48,484 --> 01:08:50,485
how can you enjoy the good life?
1303
01:08:52,030 --> 01:08:53,822
Rome is burning, son,
1304
01:08:53,907 --> 01:08:56,158
and the problem is not with
the people that started this.
1305
01:08:56,242 --> 01:08:57,659
They're past irredeemable.
1306
01:08:57,744 --> 01:08:59,703
The problem is with us.
All of us.
1307
01:09:00,121 --> 01:09:02,706
Who do nothing.
Who just fiddle.
1308
01:09:02,957 --> 01:09:05,167
Who try to maneuver around
the edges of the flame.
1309
01:09:05,251 --> 01:09:07,751
And I'll tell you something, there
are people out there, day-to-day,
1310
01:09:07,754 --> 01:09:10,154
all over the world, that are
fighting to make things better.
1311
01:09:10,173 --> 01:09:12,963
You think it's better to have tried and
failed than failing to try, right?
1312
01:09:12,967 --> 01:09:14,217
Yeah.
But what is the difference
1313
01:09:14,302 --> 01:09:16,678
if you end up in the same place?
1314
01:09:21,684 --> 01:09:23,810
At least you did something.
1315
01:09:38,743 --> 01:09:39,910
Thanks for knocking.
1316
01:09:39,994 --> 01:09:41,828
What did "l'enfant terrible" want?
1317
01:09:42,372 --> 01:09:44,081
One-on-one time.
Whole hour.
1318
01:09:44,165 --> 01:09:46,500
An hour? Jesus.
What, a beating or a story?
1319
01:09:46,584 --> 01:09:49,795
A big new military move
launched as we sat there.
1320
01:09:49,879 --> 01:09:51,338
An exclusive?
Yeah.
1321
01:09:51,422 --> 01:09:53,215
Damn. Details.
1322
01:09:53,299 --> 01:09:56,093
Let's get the basics up
on the scroll right away.
1323
01:09:56,177 --> 01:09:57,970
What's the action?
1324
01:09:59,597 --> 01:10:01,264
Janine? Hello?
1325
01:10:01,349 --> 01:10:03,642
It stinks.
I mean, I don't know.
1326
01:10:03,726 --> 01:10:06,478
I just came away with a bad feeling.
1327
01:10:06,562 --> 01:10:08,105
It just... It feels...
1328
01:10:08,189 --> 01:10:09,606
Feels?
1329
01:10:09,691 --> 01:10:10,774
Bogus.
1330
01:10:10,858 --> 01:10:11,900
It feels?
Yeah.
1331
01:10:11,985 --> 01:10:14,085
I mean, are you being paid
to investigate your feelings?
1332
01:10:14,112 --> 01:10:15,812
I mean, just give me
the facts, Janine. Jesus.
1333
01:10:15,822 --> 01:10:17,142
You know, we can't do this again.
1334
01:10:17,156 --> 01:10:18,240
Do what again?
1335
01:10:18,324 --> 01:10:21,368
We can't just buy
the whole little program
1336
01:10:21,452 --> 01:10:23,662
like we did for
the run-up at the...
1337
01:10:23,746 --> 01:10:27,290
Oh, please. Stand back while
my fucking head detonates.
1338
01:10:27,542 --> 01:10:29,626
This is your guy, right?
He's not my guy.
1339
01:10:29,711 --> 01:10:31,741
But he goes right to you.
He asks you the questions.
1340
01:10:31,754 --> 01:10:33,296
He's handing you an exclusive.
1341
01:10:33,381 --> 01:10:34,673
He's giving you a fucking gift.
1342
01:10:34,757 --> 01:10:36,508
It's not a gift.
It's propaganda.
1343
01:10:36,592 --> 01:10:38,385
And we don't have to
broadcast everything
1344
01:10:38,469 --> 01:10:40,137
that the government
wants us to, do we?
1345
01:10:40,221 --> 01:10:41,680
No, we broadcast news.
1346
01:10:41,764 --> 01:10:44,057
The launch of a new
military move is news.
1347
01:10:44,517 --> 01:10:47,477
Are you feeling a teensy
conscience attack here?
1348
01:10:47,562 --> 01:10:49,396
Please. Well, isn't it a
little late for that?
1349
01:10:49,480 --> 01:10:52,130
Come on. What is the story?
What is the move? Give me a goddamn...
1350
01:10:52,150 --> 01:10:54,651
Hey, are you old enough
to remember The Who?
1351
01:10:54,736 --> 01:10:55,777
The Who? Yeah.
1352
01:10:55,862 --> 01:10:57,562
And I'm young enough to listen to them.
So what?
1353
01:10:57,572 --> 01:11:00,490
Meet the new boss Same as the old boss
1354
01:11:00,575 --> 01:11:02,659
That's what, it's the
Vietnam-era thinking, you know?
1355
01:11:02,744 --> 01:11:04,327
And they just repackaged, you know?
1356
01:11:04,412 --> 01:11:07,330
They're gonna send out small
platoons, these kids, as bait.
1357
01:11:07,457 --> 01:11:08,747
It's just... It's the same...
Oh, come on.
1358
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:11,168
It's the same old, same old.
No, no. That is speculation.
1359
01:11:11,252 --> 01:11:12,961
We do not air speculation, okay?
1360
01:11:13,046 --> 01:11:14,546
No, I know.
It's these guys.
1361
01:11:14,630 --> 01:11:17,215
They're so desperate
for a way out, see?
1362
01:11:17,300 --> 01:11:19,509
They're so desperate to
change the subject from Iraq.
1363
01:11:19,594 --> 01:11:23,847
They're so desperate for a win
that they're listening to Irving.
1364
01:11:23,931 --> 01:11:26,558
And you know, I don't blame
them, because, boy, he is good.
1365
01:11:26,642 --> 01:11:29,936
But he doesn't have a plan
for the day after the attack.
1366
01:11:30,021 --> 01:11:32,731
No. I mean, he'll croon
about hearts and minds,
1367
01:11:32,815 --> 01:11:35,859
but it's all, you know, helicopters
and Marines. That's what...
1368
01:11:35,943 --> 01:11:40,072
Jesus. Anyway, he couldn't care
less about the soft stuff.
1369
01:11:40,156 --> 01:11:41,573
You know, this whole thing, this...
1370
01:11:41,657 --> 01:11:43,408
It's a strategic...
1371
01:11:43,493 --> 01:11:45,493
It's a lubricant to get him
into the White House.
1372
01:11:45,495 --> 01:11:47,621
So what? So
the guy's ambitious.
1373
01:11:48,039 --> 01:11:49,039
So what?
1374
01:11:49,707 --> 01:11:51,041
Wait a...
Janine, are you letting
1375
01:11:51,125 --> 01:11:52,525
your politics cloud your reasoning?
1376
01:11:52,543 --> 01:11:54,252
I'm just trying to
do my job. That's all.
1377
01:11:54,337 --> 01:11:56,627
Your job, if I can bring you back
to the twenty-first century,
1378
01:11:56,631 --> 01:11:58,090
is to report verifiable facts,
1379
01:11:58,174 --> 01:11:59,624
so I can put them up
on the goddamn screen.
1380
01:11:59,634 --> 01:12:02,052
There are none! Okay?
There are no embeds up there.
1381
01:12:02,136 --> 01:12:04,179
We have to just take
his word for it. It's just...
1382
01:12:04,263 --> 01:12:06,807
How can you stand it so hot in here?
1383
01:12:11,020 --> 01:12:12,270
But I'll tell you something.
1384
01:12:12,355 --> 01:12:14,397
He does have a plan
for after the election.
1385
01:12:14,482 --> 01:12:18,193
Yeah, and it's not the long, slow
peace process. No, no, no, no.
1386
01:12:18,277 --> 01:12:20,946
These boys have toys on the high shelf
1387
01:12:21,030 --> 01:12:23,365
they've not been allowed
to use for 50 years.
1388
01:12:23,491 --> 01:12:25,550
He says, "I'm sick of being humiliated.
" Oh, my God, Janine.
1389
01:12:25,576 --> 01:12:27,426
They're dying to take these down...
Please don't start that.
1390
01:12:27,453 --> 01:12:28,495
And try them out...
1391
01:12:28,579 --> 01:12:29,659
That tactical,
nuclear, paranoia bullshit.
1392
01:12:29,664 --> 01:12:31,314
And find out what a real
winning noise sounds like.
1393
01:12:31,332 --> 01:12:32,832
No, no, no. He said to me...
I don't wanna hear it.
1394
01:12:32,834 --> 01:12:35,710
He said this to me.
I have it. I have it.
1395
01:12:35,795 --> 01:12:38,171
"Whatever it takes to win."
Fuck.
1396
01:12:38,923 --> 01:12:41,133
Here it is.
See? "Whatever it takes."
1397
01:12:41,217 --> 01:12:44,136
Okay. Great, great.
Can you please just calm down.
1398
01:12:44,220 --> 01:12:46,096
Okay? Calm down.
1399
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:52,561
Look, it seems to me
1400
01:12:52,645 --> 01:12:57,399
like Irving has a plan to go after
the guys who attacked us, okay?
1401
01:12:57,483 --> 01:13:01,111
Now, our viewers will believe
that's a good thing. So do I.
1402
01:13:03,322 --> 01:13:05,532
What happened to you, Howard?
1403
01:13:06,701 --> 01:13:08,321
Time was you would
take a punch at anybody
1404
01:13:08,327 --> 01:13:09,953
if you thought it was justified.
1405
01:13:10,121 --> 01:13:12,914
You know, you were good once.
1406
01:13:14,792 --> 01:13:17,752
Yeah, and I didn't think
I'd live past 40, either.
1407
01:13:17,837 --> 01:13:19,462
Come on, Janine.
1408
01:13:19,547 --> 01:13:22,340
You can't leave me
hanging out here by myself.
1409
01:13:22,425 --> 01:13:23,758
You just can't do that to...
1410
01:13:23,843 --> 01:13:25,594
Wrong. I just can't do this.
1411
01:13:25,678 --> 01:13:27,596
You turn in some loony, speculative,
1412
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:29,806
what-if story
that's based on what?
1413
01:13:30,099 --> 01:13:31,975
A woman's intuition?
1414
01:13:32,101 --> 01:13:33,977
I expected more from you, Janine.
1415
01:13:34,061 --> 01:13:36,855
Yeah, you expected me
to turn in a tidy time line.
1416
01:13:36,939 --> 01:13:38,148
That's right.
1417
01:13:38,232 --> 01:13:39,352
If we don't do this, Howard,
1418
01:13:39,358 --> 01:13:42,652
who's gonna do it?
This is the job.
1419
01:13:42,737 --> 01:13:45,067
These politicians, these
journalists, everybody that says,
1420
01:13:45,072 --> 01:13:47,490
"Oh, well, if we'd known
then what we know now."
1421
01:13:47,575 --> 01:13:49,701
It's bullshit!
It's bullshit.
1422
01:13:49,785 --> 01:13:51,411
It was all right there.
1423
01:13:51,495 --> 01:13:53,163
We knew it.
1424
01:13:53,247 --> 01:13:55,415
If we had bothered
to connect the dots.
1425
01:13:56,334 --> 01:14:00,712
But we didn't, did we?
We just rolled over.
1426
01:14:00,796 --> 01:14:01,963
Right?
1427
01:14:02,423 --> 01:14:05,383
So what happens if you're
wrong, Janine?
1428
01:14:06,010 --> 01:14:07,552
Listen to me.
You're 57 years old.
1429
01:14:08,763 --> 01:14:12,140
You got a mother that
needs 24-hour care now.
1430
01:14:12,225 --> 01:14:15,769
What other network is gonna
snap you up after this?
1431
01:14:18,606 --> 01:14:20,523
All I'm asking is...
1432
01:14:20,650 --> 01:14:22,609
Just don't put me in
this position, okay?
1433
01:14:22,735 --> 01:14:24,569
Your version of this
story will never see
1434
01:14:24,654 --> 01:14:26,947
the light of day, and you know it.
1435
01:14:30,493 --> 01:14:33,662
Well, I can't write
the one that he gave me.
1436
01:14:33,746 --> 01:14:35,080
Can't.
1437
01:14:43,631 --> 01:14:46,967
Well, I think you
ought to think that over.
1438
01:14:57,311 --> 01:14:58,520
Abdullah!
1439
01:15:06,195 --> 01:15:07,195
Abdullah!
1440
01:15:11,492 --> 01:15:12,742
Oh, man.
1441
01:15:15,871 --> 01:15:17,163
Get to me!
1442
01:15:17,290 --> 01:15:18,581
I'm digging!
1443
01:15:22,628 --> 01:15:23,878
Get to me!
1444
01:15:25,673 --> 01:15:27,465
Come on. Come on.
1445
01:15:54,869 --> 01:15:56,036
Pilot.
1446
01:15:56,829 --> 01:15:58,580
Get back there, make another pass
1447
01:15:58,664 --> 01:16:00,373
and clean those fucking Talis out!
1448
01:16:09,383 --> 01:16:11,551
Professor Malley?
Read the sign.
1449
01:16:13,637 --> 01:16:14,721
Wait.
1450
01:16:15,681 --> 01:16:17,057
Are we done?
1451
01:16:17,975 --> 01:16:19,100
Okay.
1452
01:16:21,062 --> 01:16:24,731
Here's my last bit, so bear with me.
1453
01:16:27,193 --> 01:16:30,528
The decisions you make now,
bud, can't be changed
1454
01:16:30,613 --> 01:16:34,616
but with years and years
of hard work to redo it.
1455
01:16:34,700 --> 01:16:38,036
And in those years, you
become something different.
1456
01:16:38,496 --> 01:16:40,497
Everybody does as time passes.
1457
01:16:40,581 --> 01:16:42,957
You get married, you get into debt,
1458
01:16:43,417 --> 01:16:46,961
but you're never gonna be the
same person you are right now.
1459
01:16:47,046 --> 01:16:53,134
And promise and potential,
it's very fickle.
1460
01:16:55,388 --> 01:16:58,014
And it just might
not be there anymore.
1461
01:17:02,812 --> 01:17:05,980
Are you assuming
I already made a decision?
1462
01:17:06,315 --> 01:17:08,817
And, also, that I'll live to regret it?
1463
01:17:08,943 --> 01:17:11,486
All I'm saying is
that you're an adult now.
1464
01:17:12,863 --> 01:17:16,199
And the tough thing about
adulthood is that it...
1465
01:17:17,326 --> 01:17:20,912
It starts before you
even know it starts,
1466
01:17:20,996 --> 01:17:24,124
when you're already
a dozen decisions into it.
1467
01:17:24,208 --> 01:17:26,709
But what you need to know, Todd,
1468
01:17:27,795 --> 01:17:29,337
no lifeguard's watching anymore.
1469
01:17:29,422 --> 01:17:32,173
You're on your own.
You're your own man,
1470
01:17:32,258 --> 01:17:33,967
and the decisions
you make now are yours
1471
01:17:34,051 --> 01:17:36,177
and yours alone
from here until the end.
1472
01:17:37,972 --> 01:17:41,099
I'm sorry. The sign says till
8:00, and it's way after 8:00.
1473
01:17:41,183 --> 01:17:42,934
Yes. Sorry.
1474
01:17:43,310 --> 01:17:45,019
So, what, you don't want my decision?
1475
01:17:45,104 --> 01:17:47,230
Class meets again
Tuesday at 9:00.
1476
01:17:47,314 --> 01:17:49,149
I'll find out then.
1477
01:17:55,406 --> 01:17:56,614
Okay, Muna. What...
1478
01:17:56,699 --> 01:17:59,159
Professor Malley, the grade
you gave me can't be right.
1479
01:17:59,243 --> 01:18:00,994
You mean a C+? Excuse me.
1480
01:18:01,078 --> 01:18:02,912
Close the door behind you?
1481
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:10,962
Let's see. So...
1482
01:18:14,008 --> 01:18:15,091
Ammo?
1483
01:18:16,385 --> 01:18:17,677
I'm out.
1484
01:18:24,351 --> 01:18:25,602
Me, too.
1485
01:18:31,150 --> 01:18:33,651
Rescue's not gonna be here in time.
1486
01:18:37,740 --> 01:18:39,115
No, no.
1487
01:18:47,041 --> 01:18:49,876
Get out of here.
Get out of here. Go on!
1488
01:18:51,003 --> 01:18:52,212
No way.
1489
01:18:54,089 --> 01:18:55,965
You can move. Climb down.
1490
01:18:56,050 --> 01:18:58,968
Not even if there was a ladder.
1491
01:19:10,689 --> 01:19:12,190
Not like this.
1492
01:19:13,859 --> 01:19:15,818
Not laying down.
1493
01:19:26,121 --> 01:19:28,121
Help me up.
1494
01:19:38,676 --> 01:19:40,093
Let's go.
1495
01:22:12,621 --> 01:22:14,414
Hey.
Hey, man.
1496
01:22:17,543 --> 01:22:18,993
So, the new thing is skin turgidity.
1497
01:22:19,002 --> 01:22:20,336
Tur-what-ity?
1498
01:22:20,421 --> 01:22:21,671
Did you make that word up?
1499
01:22:21,755 --> 01:22:23,673
No. It's a term taken
from flora and fauna,
1500
01:22:23,757 --> 01:22:25,550
used to describe the health of...
1501
01:22:25,634 --> 01:22:26,676
Like plants?
1502
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:27,760
Well, yes. Exactly.
1503
01:22:27,845 --> 01:22:29,887
You going to astronomy today?
1504
01:22:31,098 --> 01:22:33,558
J.D. 's organizing
a Madden tourney.
1505
01:22:33,642 --> 01:22:35,017
Totally sounds like it.
1506
01:22:35,102 --> 01:22:37,061
So, firming creams don't work.
1507
01:22:37,896 --> 01:22:40,388
Well, not all do, but this one does.
And which one is this?
1508
01:22:40,441 --> 01:22:42,775
The fuck you doing up so early?
1509
01:22:43,652 --> 01:22:45,361
A meeting with Malley.
1510
01:22:47,069 --> 01:22:50,989
Los Angeles affiliate, KZVZ, is
reporting that pop singer Fate
1511
01:22:51,073 --> 01:22:52,423
has this morning
finally filed for divorce
1512
01:22:52,450 --> 01:22:53,700
from rapper
husband Bully-Dog.
1513
01:22:55,077 --> 01:22:56,828
After Fate and
Bully-Dog's now
1514
01:22:56,954 --> 01:22:58,747
notorious Pacific
Rim tour last summer,
1515
01:22:58,831 --> 01:23:01,791
when Fate was recorded
asking a Japanese reporter
1516
01:23:01,876 --> 01:23:05,337
how long the bus ride from
Tokyo to Beijing would be.
1517
01:23:05,588 --> 01:23:08,089
Up next we have our lead story.
Baby toupees.
1518
01:23:11,510 --> 01:23:13,595
What'd you guys talk about?
1519
01:23:16,474 --> 01:23:17,766
Grades.
1520
01:23:20,561 --> 01:23:22,228
Is he failing you?
1521
01:23:25,399 --> 01:23:26,858
He is failing you, isn't he?
1522
01:23:26,984 --> 01:23:28,443
No, he's not failing me.
1523
01:23:32,615 --> 01:23:36,034
What, do you already know
what you're getting?
1524
01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:38,200
Huh !
1525
01:23:41,415 --> 01:23:43,792
Do you know what you're getting?
112207
