I hated him, man.

I mean he was such a prick.

Always beating

the hell outta me.

I joined the marines

so one day I could take him on.

Give him a little payback,

you know?

Because I think

there are two kinds of brothers.

There are the ones

that back you up in a fight.

And then there are the ones

that throw you to the wolves

as they sit back,

laugh and point at you

while you're eating sh*t.

I bet I know

which kind Campbell is.

Hey.

Do you have another one

of those?

Thanks.

Where's the baby?

Your mom's watching her for me.

Guess you're okay with her doing

that with a drink in her hand.

Why won't you lay off of her?

She just watched her son turn

into a complete lunatic.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He went and got himself

completely f***ed up

in the head.

Yeah, mom and dad are insane

if they think g.I. Joe's

gonna pull him outta it.

'Cause that guy

- is a f***ing a**hole.

- We have to try.

- Okay, Zoey needs her father.

- Face it, Sam.

Justin is never going

to be dad material

even if this bullshit

actually works.

You have no idea how hard it is.

I had to drop out of school

to have Zoey.

We all want him back.

He used to love coming

to this place when we were kids.

As soon as we got here

every summer, he'd go off

into the woods on his own.

And we'd think he was lost.

Mom would panic.

But then we would find him

under a tree somewhere

playing weirdo games

with pine cones

and animals bones and sh*t.

Yeah that sounds like Justin.

There was an owl

that lived in this tree.

I would tell Justin that it was

the devil watching him

that if he didn't do everything

I told him it would kill him

in his sleep.

I thought it would scare

the sh*t out of him,

but he got a sleeping bag

and he spent the whole night

right here.

Just to prove me wrong.

You know they're

into that kind of stuff too.

Who is?

His family?

Deep dark forest.

Creatures of the night.

Come on. Let's head back.

We really let him down,

didn't we?

Speak for yourself.

There's only person responsible

for Justin.

Here you go.

Your leader

must be an amazing guy

to have you so devoted to him.

I mean, he says jump.

You say how high?

He told you

about the cataclysm, right?

The revolution he's got planned.

The war where he comes out

on top and kills everyone else

that's unworthy of being

in his club.

"The unworthy will know,

unimaginable suffering

and there will be a blood bath

that will cleanse the earth."

You read this I assume.

Of course, you have.

Your boss wrote it, right.

What makes you one

of the worthy?

Has it ever occurred

to you that you may be part

of that family

because they're using you?

I mean revolutions

ain't cheap, buddy.
