01:22,165 -- 00:01:27,211

2

00:
02:15,510 -- 00:02:17,344

- Hi.

- Hi.

3

00:
02:17,387 -- 00:02:19,847

So when did Frank's close down?

4

00:
02:19,889 -- 00:02:22,850

Oh, two years, three years ago.

5

00:
02:22,892 -- 00:02:24,101

- Oh?

- Yeah.

6

00:
02:27,355 -- 00:02:30,149

Is it OK if I

stow this here while I shop?

7

00:
02:30,900 -- 00:02:33,610

Uh, yeah, go ahead, honey.

8

00:
02:40,160 -- 00:02:42,119

Can I get a pack of smokes?

9

00:
02:42,162 -- 00:02:44,538

Um...sure.

What kind do you want?

10

00:
02:44,581 -- 00:02:46,206

What do those say right there?

11

00:
02:46,249 -- 00:02:48,125

These are lights.

12

00:
02:48,168 -- 00:02:50,711

What are those ones,

those ones down there...

13

00:
02:52,755 -- 00:02:54,715

Just those blue ones there.

14

00:
02:54,757 -- 00:02:56,675

These are menthol flavored.

15

00:
02:56,718 -- 00:02:58,552

The other ones there,

to the right.

16

00:
02:58,595 -- 00:03:00,470

$6.24 with tax.

17

00:
03:01,347 -- 00:03:03,390

Um...

18

00:
03:06,227 -- 00:03:08,812

You know what...

I forgot my money at home.

19

00:
03:08,855 -- 00:03:10,856

I'm gonna have to come back.

20

00:
03:12,358 -- 00:03:14,318

[car alarm blaring,

man yelling]

21

00:
03:17,197 -- 00:03:18,530

Call 911 !

22

00:
03:19,699 -- 00:03:21,491

I will break this arm.

I will break it!

23

00:
03:21,534 -- 00:03:22,868

Hold still...

24

00:
03:24,204 -- 00:03:25,537

Hold still!

25

00:
03:37,717 -- 00:03:40,344

That boy is just

swirlin' down the drain.

26

00:
03:40,386 -- 00:03:42,179

Seems like they all are.

27

00:
03:42,222 -- 00:03:44,431

Didn't have meth labs around

when we were that age.

28

00:
03:44,474 -- 00:03:46,683

Things don't always change

for the better, I guess.

29

00:
03:46,726 -- 00:03:48,185

No, they don't.

30

00:
03:48,228 -- 00:03:50,896

I don't remember it being yourjob

to do something about it.

31

00:
03:50,939 -- 00:03:52,689

I wasn't looking

for trouble, Max.

32

00:
03:52,732 -- 00:03:54,858

That's not the way he tells it.

33

00:
03:54,901 -- 00:03:57,569

Look, four deployments would

make Gandhi trigger-happy,

34

00:
03:57,612 -- 00:03:59,238

so I get you

might be high-strung.

35

00:
03:59,280 -- 00:04:02,074

But stand down, soldier.

You gotta leave this stuff to me.

36

00:
04:02,116 -- 00:04:04,534

I know, it was stupid,

it won't happen again.

37

00:
04:04,577 -- 00:04:07,079

You've got a more

important fight.

38

00:
04:08,414 -- 00:04:11,708

I'd give you a lift,

but I'm a little short-handed.

39

00:
04:11,751 -- 00:04:13,293

It's fine.

40

00:
04:13,336 -- 00:04:15,087

- How long you in town?

- Couple ofweeks.

41

00:
04:15,129 -- 00:04:16,421

Good.

42

00:
04:16,464 -- 00:04:18,382

Say hi to the General

when you speak to him.

43

00:
04:18,424 -- 00:04:19,800

I will.

44

00:
04:23,346 -- 00:04:25,222

Hey, Max.

45

00:
04:25,265 -- 00:04:26,890

There was a girl.

46

00:
04:27,475 -- 00:04:30,435

- Tall, brown hair?

- Yeah.

47

00:
04:44,701 -- 00:04:46,576

You carry any tequila?

48

00:
05:14,647 -- 00:05:16,148

[door creaks open]

49

00:
05:16,190 -- 00:05:18,108

Not open yet.

50

00:
05:20,320 -- 00:05:23,613

Holy crap!

Is that an Everett?

51

00:
05:23,656 -- 00:05:24,698

Hi, Shelly.

52

00:
05:24,741 -- 00:05:27,451

Alexandra Everett,

what the hell you doin' home?

53

00:
05:27,493 -- 00:05:29,453

Don't you know there's a war on?

54

00:
05:31,664 -- 00:05:34,666

How's your dad and your brother?

Everybody still got all their pieces?

55

00:
05:34,709 -- 00:05:36,168

Yeah, so far.

56

00:
05:36,210 -- 00:05:38,295

We pray for that,

yes, we do.

57

00:
05:38,338 -- 00:05:40,172

You're lookin'

marvelous as ever.

58

00:
05:40,214 -- 00:05:41,798

Thanks. You, too.

59

00:
05:41,841 -- 00:05:43,925

Oh, please.

Marines aren't supposed to lie.

60

00:
05:43,968 -- 00:05:45,427

Let me buy you a drink.

61

00:
05:45,470 -- 00:05:48,472

No, thanks. I just stopped by

to say hi and use the head.

62

00:
05:48,514 -- 00:05:50,307

OK, you know where it is.

63

00:
05:51,142 -- 00:05:53,643

You on foot?

I can give you a ride to the house.

64

00:
05:53,686 -- 00:05:54,603

No, thanks.

65

00:
05:54,645 -- 00:05:56,855

I need to walk off

that train ride.

66

00:
05:56,898 -- 00:05:59,149

Ten miles ain't a walk, honey.

That's a hike.

67

00:
07:11,431 -- 00:07:14,099

Three new messages...

68

00:
07:14,142 -- 00:07:15,559

Alexandra, hi,

69

00:
07:15,601 -- 00:07:17,686

this is Tracy Flores

from San Lucas Realty.

70

00:
07:17,728 -- 00:07:19,896

Could you please call me

back and just confirm

71

00:
07:19,939 -- 00:07:23,316

that you are there and that

I shouldn't book the house?

72

00:
07:23,359 -- 00:07:26,486

Thanks.

73

00:
07:26,529 -- 00:07:28,989

Alex, it's your father.

74

00:
07:29,031 -- 00:07:32,033

Been trying to reach you

on your cell, with no luck.

75

00:
07:32,076 -- 00:07:35,537

The realtor said something

about you staying at the house.

76

00:
07:35,580 -- 00:07:39,124

If you are, call me.

77

00:
07:39,167 -- 00:07:42,252

Hey, Alex, it's Joe.

Just heard the news.

78

00:
07:42,295 -- 00:07:44,296

Wow..

79

00:
08:31,135 -- 00:08:34,429

And we had a choice of our own -

either take the word of a madman

80

00:
08:34,472 -- 00:08:38,683

or take action to defend

America and the world.

81

00:
08:38,726 -- 00:08:40,977

Faced with that choice,
