[down-tempo tense music]
[panicked breathing]
[up-tempo tense music]
[grunting]
Hey! Hey!
Deklan, that's enough.
Come on.
Get in the house.
Get in there.
[birds chirping]
[man] What now for
the hollow-hearted soldier?
[gunfire, explosions]
[indistinct shouting]
When the beast of battle
digs in its claws
and... a soul sets sail
in eternal pause.
Survival's true cost
is growing older.
Where to for the man
without a mission?
When the cries of combat
cease to sound
and the ones once brave
all lie in the ground.
The warrior's new war
is attrition.
What hope
an entire war cherish?
To brave a new battle
or to perish.
- Deklan.
- Hm?
You wrote this?
Yeah.
You think I didn't?
No, I was just...
I was just surprised
by how profound it is.
You think, uh, soldiers are
incapable of being profound?
Is that it?
[sighs]
You know, I've been calling you
for a little over two weeks.
I've left you messages,
and you've never called me back.
Why is that?
Uh, I understand.
I have a lot of veterans waiting
for appointments, not just you.
The whole system is swamped. You're
lucky you got in when you did.
Right.
How are you sleeping?
[sighs] Not very good.
Well, with all this anxiety,
I'm not surprised.
new medication to help you...
You know what? You've been
pumping me full of medication
for over a year,
and nothing works.
like a zombie,
or I'm punching holes
in the wall.
I don't have a magic wand.
Medications are tools,
not solutions.
Jesus Christ.
Your tools are broken.
If you don't
change your attitude,
things aren't going
to get better.
- You have to take an active responsibility...
- Hold on a second.
I am taking responsibility.
- Not as far as I'm seeing.
- Really? Then what am I doing here?
- You tell me.
- I'm here because I need help.
You think I like
feeling like this?
Well, then
Stick with a support group.
Reach out to a family member.
No one can help you if you're
unwilling to help yourself.
I am trying
to help myself!
You shouldn't be allowed
anywhere near veterans.
[soft string music]
[sirens in distance]
Where's the team?
We don't have one.
For what?
Bomb threat downtown.
- Again?
- Apparently.
[chattering]
Avery, we can't
go in there alone.
Want a coffee?
Sure. I'll take
a cream and two sugars.
I'm not getting you coffee.
[laughs]
You're such an asshole.
Meet the entry team.
Stevens. That's Davis.
You guys kick in
some doors before?
- [Stevens] A few.
- Marines.
Fallujah.
Oh. Appreciate the help.
Are you kidding me?
Rather do this than write tickets
for the next five hours.
We still have clearance
for this raid?
We're clear.
- [siren in distance]
- [sighs] Okay.
You guys bring
enough firepower?
We're good then.
How bad have you
ever wanted to have
- your fucking cock sucked by a high schooler?
- [laughs]
Let's fucking do it.
[up-tempo tense music]
[woman] Police!
Open the door, ice man.
[man] Hey! What the hell?
Get on the wall!
Get on the wall!
Get on your knees!
Both of them!
Give me your hands,
motherfucker!
Clear!
Ready? Go!
- Police!
- Put it down! Put it down!
[grunts]
Get down! Get down!
Get down!
[Avery] Don't move!
She's dead.
Avery!
[pistol clicks]
- [pistol clatters]
- It's all over.
[grunting]
[shouts, grunts]
Help me!
I'm gonna fall!
Help me up!
You're a fucking cop!
Help me up!
Help me! [screams]
[thud]
[blows kiss] Sayonara.
Are you all right?
What happened?
