You're a grown boy.

How'd this start up? You just walked in

one day and they started in on you?

- No.

- What happened?

They heard Mom say "I love you"

when she dropped me off.

She said "I love you" in front

of your friends, huh?

Mm-hmm.

All right, I understand.

It's no good.

- And you told Mom?

- Yeah.

What'd she say?

She said she was gonna

beat the mother up.

She was gonna beat the mothers up?

All right, look.

I'm not mom, but I damn sure

am gonna tell my kid

I love him when he gets

out the car, all right?

So we gotta come up some kind

of little middle ground,

like a secret word or something.

What about "man down"?

- Man down?

- That's pretty good.

- Huh? Yeah.

- Yeah, I like that. Man down.

I like it, too.

It's got the word "man" in it,

damn sure is manly enough.

You know, we'll just sneak it out

anytime we want to say it.

Nobody will know what

we're talking about.

So, anytime I want to say I love you

what am I going to say to you?

- Man down.

- Like that, too,

with that little smirk

on your face.

- Say it again.

- Man down.

Yes, good, man.

All right, get out of here.

Have a good day, bud.

You too.

Drummer.

Yo, Drummer, you copy?

I got a tudy up ahead

approximately 100 yards southeast

of the main courtyard.

Right there.

What the f***?

How long's he been

sitting there? And yourself?

I'm not sure.

Come on, let's go.

What the f***?

Don't move.

Get up. Up. Move.

Down in that corner.

Down. Who are you?

United States Marines. If you

try anything, I take your head off!

- Got that clean'?

- Who are you?

Answer the question.

Who are you?

Charles.

My name is Charles.

Charles? Hey, Charles.

Take a breath. Breathe.

My name's Gabriel.

I'm looking for survivors,

you understand?

Okay, man.

What do you know

about what happened here?

What happened to...?

To who? The world.

How come you weren't affected?

How come you weren't affected?

Oh, please.

How is it the whole world is in sh*t

and you're not affected?

Save your compliments for someone

who'd want to hear them.

- This whole world's f***ed.

- You're alone?

You got survivors with you?

I got my friends.

I got my whole platoon.

Where? Where are thew

- Hey! Stay right there.

- Don't move.

What is it?

You semper fi?

That was a long time ago, buddy.

Whole 'nother world,

but it don't matter none.

They all left us

here in hell to rot.

Who did?

You did.

You.

Look, I've been analyzing

or pontificating

on variations

of this theme for years.

Today I'll state only facts.

There's a mini war

in the Middle East.

Iran will most likely have

a nuclear weapon.

Putin basically running unchecked,

obviously a great cause for concern.
