JAG (1995–2005): Season 1, Episode 12 - The Brotherhood - full transcript
A marine is found beaten up on the beach, a doctor suspects it was racially motivated, but JAG discovers it was gang related.
ON MY SIGNAL. (marine) YES, SIR.
MY BOYS CAN STAND A SAND SHOWER.
CAN'T YOURS?
[marines yelling]
FIRE!
[screaming]
GET DOWN!
(Moon) GET UP,
CONNORS! GET UP! GET UP!
THIS AIN'T NO BEACH
PARTY! ON YOUR FEET.
STILES, STILES,
MACHINE GUN NEST!
TAKE IT OUT!
[grunts]
[machine guns firing]
CONNORS! CONNORS!
(Connors) IT'S HANSON, SARGE.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU
WAITING FOR? CALL FOR HELP!
MARINE DOWN. MARINE DOWN.
REQUESTING EMERGENCY
MEDVAC, A.S.A.P.
THIS IS BRAVO ZULU.
ANYONE UP THIS FREQ?
MARINE DOWN. MARINE DOWN.
REQUESTING EMERGENCY
MEDVAC, A.S.A.P.
THIS IS AN ACTUAL. I REPEAT,
THIS IS NOT AN EXERCISE!
THIS IS NOT AN EXERCISE!
[cardiogram beeping]
STOP THAT, TYLER.
SO IS HE GONNA BE A VEGETABLE?
(mom) PLEASE WAKE UP, BABY.
[phone ringing]
I WAS SO AFRAID WHEN
TERRENCE JOINED THE MARINES.
THOUGHT THEY WERE GONNA
SEND HIM OFF TO BOSNIA SOMEWHERE
WHERE HE MIGHT GET HURT.
I NEVER THOUGHT IT
WOULD HAPPEN HERE.
(Sanford) TYLER, WHY DON'T
YOU TAKE YOUR MOTHER
TO THE LOUNGE FOR
A CUP OF COFFEE?
I NEED TO SPEAK
WITH THESE OFFICERS.
NO NEED. I HAVE TO GO TO WORK.
BUT I'LL BE BACK AS
SOON AS I GET OFF.
YOU HAVE MY WORK NUMBER
IF TERRENCE SHOULD WAKE.
I'LL CALL YOU AT THE FIRST SIGN.
I JUST NEVER THOUGHT
HE'D GET HURT HERE.
NEVER!
WHAT YOU LOOKIN' AT?
(woman on P.A. system) DR. COHEN TO
RADIOLOGY. DR. COHEN TO RADIOLOGY.
HI.
P.F.C. HANSON SUFFERED
HIS CONCUSSION
IN A SIMULATED
ARTILLERY EXPLOSION
DURING A LANDING
EXERCISE YESTERDAY.
HE'S BEEN IN A COMA EVER SINCE.
BUT HE DIDN'T GET THESE
FROM AN EXPLOSION.
THE INVESTIGATING OFFICER
REPORTED THAT P.F.C. HANSON
WAS SLEEPING OFF A
DRUNK ON THE BEACH
AND THAT HE GOT THE
BRUISES IN A BAR FIGHT.
THERE WAS NO ALCOHOL
IN HIS BLOOD, OR DRUGS.
HE COULD STILL HAVE
BEEN BRUISED IN A BRAWL.
NOT A BRAWL.
A BEATING.
I BELIEVE SOMEBODY BEAT
HIM AND LEFT HIM ON THE BEACH.
WHICH IS WHY I REQUESTED
A JAG INVESTIGATION.
YOU DON'T TRUST
THE CHARLIE COMPANY
INVESTIGATOR, LIEUTENANT TEESE?
LIEUTENANT TEESE ANSWERS TO HIS
COMPANY COMMANDER, CAPTAIN OVERTON.
LIEUTENANT, YOU'RE IMPLYING
THE INVESTIGATION WAS A COVER-UP.
ALL I KNOW IS IN THE 6
MONTHS THAT I HAVE BEEN HERE,
I HAVE TREATED INJURED
MARINES FROM CHARLIE COMPANY
TWICE AS OFTEN AS ANY
OTHERS ON THIS BASE.
ESPECIALLY
AFRICAN-AMERICAN MARINES.
NOW YOU'RE IMPLYING THE
ASSAULT, IF THERE WAS ONE,
WAS RACIST.
NUMBERS DON'T LIE.
WELL, LIEUTENANT, IF
WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE,
YOU'VE DONE THE RIGHT
THING, CALLING US IN.
THANK YOU.
I JUST HOPE YOU'RE WRONG.
SO DO I, LIEUTENANT.
[woman chattering
on P.A. system]
[marines sounding off]
(Meg) WHAT DO YOU THINK?
(Harm) SHE'S CUTE. SMART, TOO.
PROBABLY WENT TO MED
SCHOOL ON THE NAVY BILL,
NOW SHE'S WORKIN'
TO PAY 'EM BACK.
CAN'T WAIT TO GET OUT AND
ESTABLISH HER OWN PRACTICE.
NO RING, SHE'S SINGLE.
UNLIKELY SHE'S EVEN
IN A RELATIONSHIP.
SHE HAS NO USE
FOR MILITARY TYPES
AND SHE'S WORKING TOO MANY
HOURS TO SOCIALIZE OFF THE BASE.
(marines) SIR.
NICELY DONE, SHERLOCK.
BUT I WAS REFERRING
TO HER ACCUSATION
THAT CHARLIE COMPANY'S
COMMANDER'S A RACIST.
IT'D BE DAMN HARD TO ACHIEVE
THE RANK OF CAPTAIN IN THE
CORPS IF YOU WERE A RACIST.
BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE.
NO, BUT IT WOULD TAKE MORE
THAN A YOUNG DOCTOR'S OPINION
BEFORE I ACCUSE A MARINE
CORPS CAPTAIN OF BEING A RACIST.
IF SHE WAS WHITE WOULD
YOU FEEL DIFFERENTLY?
NO.
P.F.C. HANSON COULD HAVE
GOTTEN THOSE BRUISES
IN A FIGHT, IN AN ACCIDENT,
OR IN A RACIAL ASSAULT.
AND WE'LL NEVER KNOW
FOR SURE UNTIL HE WAKES UP.
WHAT IF HE DOESN'T WAKE UP?
[marines sounding off]
(Lee) I TOLD YOU DUKE'S BLUFF
COULDN'T BE TAKEN
BY A FRONTAL ASSAULT.
(Overton) IT COULD
HAVE IF YOUR MEN DIDN'T
STOP TO BUILD SANDCASTLES...
OH, THAT IS SUCH...
(Teese) EXCUSE ME, SIR.
LIEUTENANT RABB AND
LIEUTENANT J.G. AUSTIN. JAG.
CAPTAIN OVERTON. CAPTAIN LEE.
THIS IS CAPTAIN OVERTON.
[phone ringing]
IS SOMETHIN' WRONG?
UH, NO. NO.
CAN WE SPEAK TO YOU ALONE, CAP?
IF IT WON'T TAKE LONG. I
HAVE AN ASSAULT TO PLAN.
LIEUTENANTS.
SCUTTLEBUTT HAS IT YOU'RE
INVESTIGATING P.F.C. HANSON'S ACCIDENT.
SCUTTLEBUTT IS
CORRECT. AS USUAL.
MMM-HMM.
I HAD ONE OF MY
OFFICERS INVESTIGATE.
P.F.C. HANSON WAS SLEEPING
OFF A DRUNK ON THE BEACH
AND UNFORTUNATELY GOT
CAUGHT IN A SIMULATED EXPLOSION.
HE HAD NO ALCOHOL
IN HIS BLOOD, SIR.
BY THE TIME HE HAD BLOOD TAKEN,
IT WAS PROBABLY
OUT OF HIS SYSTEM.
AND THE BRUISES ON HIS BODY?
LIEUTENANT TEESE BELIEVES
THEY'RE A RESULT OF A BAR BRAWL.
LIEUTENANT TEESE HAD NOTHING IN
HIS REPORT TO SUBSTANTIATE THAT.
TEESE!
HE JUST LEFT FOR
THE MOTOR POOL, SIR.
GET HIM BACK. NOW.
YES, SIR.
LIEUTENANT SANFORD
IS BEHIND THIS, ISN'T SHE?
AN INJURED MARINE IS
BEHIND THIS, CAPTAIN.
DID YOU HAVE PROBLEMS
WITH LIEUTENANT SANFORD, SIR?
YES, I'VE HAD PROBLEMS
WITH THE DOCTOR.
SHE DOESN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND
THAT WE TRAIN WARRIORS HERE,
AND SOMETIMES THEY GET HURT.
SHE SEEMS TO THINK MARINES IN YOUR
COMPANY GET INJURED MORE THAN OTHERS.
THEY DO.
I TRAIN 'EM HARDER
THAN ANYONE ELSE.
THE MORE THEY SWEAT IN TRAININ',
THE LESS THEY BLEED IN WAR.
(Teese) YOU SENT FOR ME, SIR?
WHAT MADE YOU BELIEVE P.F.C.
HANSON WAS INVOLVED IN A BAR BRAWL?
IT HAPPENED BEFORE, SIR.
AFTER LIBERTY LAST WEEKEND,
HE CAME BACK BEAT TO HELL.
DID HE SAY HE WAS IN A FIGHT?
HE DIDN'T GIVE ANY
EXPLANATION, SIR.
DID YOU LEARN IT
FROM HIS BUDDIES?
P.F.C. HANSON DOESN'T ASSOCIATE
WITH OTHER CHARLIE COMPANY MARINES.
WHO DOES HE ASSOCIATE WITH?
I HAVE NO IDEA, SIR.
THE MINUTE HE'S OFF
DUTY ON FRIDAY, HE LEAVES.
AND HE DOESN'T RETURN
UNTIL MONDAY MORNING MUSTER.
SO YOU ASSUMED HE WAS
IN A FIGHT WHILE ON LIBERTY.
AND BASED ON THAT ASSUMPTION,
YOU ASSUMED HIS CURRENT
BRUISES WERE THE RESULT OF A FIGHT.
YES, SIR.
DO 2 ASSUMPTIONS MAKE A FACT,
LIEUTENANT? NOT NECESSARILY, SIR.
I'D LIKE TO SEE HANSON'S
SERVICE RECORD.
I ASKED FOR IT, LIEUTENANT,
NOT THE CAPTAIN!
YES, SIR!
NOT A VERY THOROUGH
INVESTIGATION, CAPTAIN.
APPARENTLY NOT.
BUT, BELIEVE ME,
I'LL RECTIFY THAT.
NO, SIR. WE WILL.
(marine) HANSON'S FILE, SIR.
(Teese) HERE'S YOUR FILE, SIR.
THANK YOU, LIEUTENANT.
P.F.C. HANSON'S BEEN WITH
US A LITTLE OVER A MONTH, SIR.
BUT EVEN IN THAT SHORT TIME IT WAS
CLEAR HE WASN'T A CHARLIE COMPANY MARINE.
HE JUST DIDN'T WANNA
GET WITH THE PROGRAM.
HOW DO YOU GET MARINES LIKE HANSON
WITH YOUR PROGRAM, LIEUTENANT?
WORK 'EM TWICE AS HARD, SIR.
AND IF THEY DON'T COMPLY WITH
CHARLIE COMPANY STANDARDS?
WE GET THEM THERE, SIR.
BY CALLING A CODE RED?
[laughing] THAT'S STRICTLY
IN THE MOVIES, LIEUTENANT.
THERE'S NO SUCH THING
AS A CODE RED IN THE CORPS.
WHAT ABOUT BLANKET PARTIES?
NOT IN CHARLIE COMPANY, SIR.
WE'LL RETURN THIS
WHEN WE'RE THROUGH.
YES, SIR.
(Meg) WHY DIDN'T YOU BRING UP
WHAT LIEUTENANT SANFORD SAID
ABOUT THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN
MARINES TO CAPTAIN OVERTON?
COME ON, MEG. THE MAN IS BLACK.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN
HE'S NOT A RACIST.
NO, BUT IT'S HIGHLY UNLIKELY,
AND I'M NOT ABOUT
TO ACCUSE A CAPTAIN,
ESPECIALLY A BLACK CAPTAIN, OF
RACISM WITHOUT SOLID EVIDENCE.
WHAT'S IN HANSON'S
SERVICE RECORD?
[seagulls cawing]
HE WAS HONOR MAN IN HIS
PLATOON AT RECRUIT TRAINING.
FIRST IN HIS CLASS
IN COMBAT TRAINING.
DOESN'T JIVE WITH WHAT LIEUTENANT
TEESE SAID HE'S BEEN LIKE HERE.
LIEUTENANT TEESE AND
CAPTAIN OVERTON ARE COVERING.
COVERING WHAT?
I MEAN, IF HE'S AS SQUARED
AWAY HERE AS HE WAS IN TRAINING,
THEY'D BE HAPPY TO HAVE HIM.
ANYTHING ELSE IN THERE?
MMM,
LET'S SEE.
ON GRADUATION, HE
REQUESTED ASSIGNMENT
TO THE 3RD MARINE
DIVISION ON OKINAWA
OR THE 2ND AT CAMP
LEJEUNE, NORTH CAROLINA.
SO HE REQUESTED A FOREIGN
ASSIGNMENT OR THE EAST COAST.
IS HE FROM BACK EAST?
NO. L.A.
HEY, HARM, GET THIS.
SINCE ARRIVING AT
CHARLIE COMPANY
HE'S REQUESTED A TRANSFER TWICE.
NEITHER OF WHICH CAPTAIN
OVERTON APPROVED.
TEESE SAID HE WASN'T A
CHARLIE COMPANY MARINE.
IF THAT'S SO, WHY
WOULD CAPTAIN OVERTON
NOT APPROVE HIS
REQUEST FOR A TRANSFER?
BECAUSE IT'S NOT
OVERTON'S STYLE.
HE'D RATHER THROW A BLANKET
PARTY TO SQUARE HIM AWAY.
ONLY THEY DIDN'T COUNT ON HANSON
GETTING CAUGHT IN AN EXPLOSION.
WHAT, THEY DUMP HIM ON THE BEACH
WHERE THEY KNOW HE'LL BE
IN THE MIDDLE OF A LANDING?
THAT'S A LITTLE CRAZY
EVEN FOR MARINES.
[marines yelling]
NOTHING'S TOO CRAZY FOR MARINES.
EVER FLY ONE OF
THOSE, LIEUTENANT?
HELL OF A CLOSE
SUPPORT AIRCRAFT.
WE'VE LANDED THEM IN...
I'M NOT HERE TO CHIT-CHAT ABOUT THE
TACTICAL ABILITIES OF THE HARRIER, MISTER.
WHAT I WANNA KNOW RIGHT NOW,
IS WHY YOUR MEN
AMBUSHED US ON THE BEACH.
THEY WEREN'T THERE
TO AMBUSH YOU.
THEY WERE ON A MISSION.
TO HARASS US.
WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?
TO KEEP US FROM FINDING INFORMATION
PERTINENT TO OUR INVESTIGATION.
THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
THAT BEACH WAS SHREDDED
BY AN AMPHIBIOUS LANDING.
EVERYTHING ON IT WAS POUNDED INTO
THE SAND AND WASHED AWAY BY THE TIDE.
JUST LIKE CHARLIE COMPANY
WANTED P.F.C. HANSON TO BE?
IF YOU HAVE EVIDENCE OF ANY
MARINE UNDER MY COMMAND
THAT INTENTIONALLY TRIED TO
HURT P.F.C. HANSON, LAY IT OUT!
BUT DON'T ACCUSE MY MEN OF
SOMETHING YOU CAN'T BACK, LIEUTENANT!
WHY DID YOU DENY HANSON'S
REQUEST FOR A TRANSFER?
I DON'T LIKE QUITTERS.
P.F.C. HANSON WAS AN
OUTSTANDING MARINE IN BOOT.
AN OUTSTANDING MARINE
IN INFANTRY TRAINING.
WHY WAS HE SUBSTANDARD
IN CHARLIE COMPANY?
TRAINING COMMANDS
ARE NOT LINE UNITS.
I'M SURE THERE ARE PILOTS
WHO GET THEIR WINGS,
BUT CAN'T HACK IT IN THE FLEET.
CAPTAIN, YOU ARE WAY OUT
OF LINE! IF YOU KNEW WHY...
AS YOU WERE, LIEUTENANT AUSTIN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
ON THE BEACH THAT NIGHT, CAPTAIN.
BUT NOW, MORE THAN
EVER, I'M CERTAIN YOU DO.
AND WHEN I UNCOVER
WHAT IT IS YOU'RE HIDING,
YOUR CAREER IN THE
CORPS WILL BE OVER, CAPTAIN.
[sighing]
(squad leader) BACK TO
BARRACKS, PRIVATE.
(private) YES SIR.
[marines sounding off]
HARM, YOU HAD EVERY RIGHT.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE
DONE IT. I LOST MY COOL.
SO YOU'RE HUMAN.
SOMEBODY IN CHARLIE COMPANY
THREW A BLANKET PARTY ON THAT BEACH
AND OVERTON'S TRYING TO HIDE IT.
WHAT IF HE DIDN'T KNOW?
THAT CAPTAIN KNOWS EVERYTHING
THAT GOES ON IN HIS COMMAND.
WELL, HE WAS SURPRISED
THAT LIEUTENANT TEESE
DIDN'T HAVE EVIDENCE
TO BACK HIS REPORT.
WHAT IF THOSE GUYS ON THE
BEACH WEREN'T THERE TO GRAB US?
WELL, HE DIDN'T APOLOGIZE, AND HE
DIDN'T OFFER TO HELP US LOOK AROUND.
HE WAS RIGHT. THE LANDING
POUNDED EVERYTHING IN THE SAND.
HARM, HE DIDN'T WANT US THERE.
MAYBE.
(Harm) YOU CAN BOUNCE
A COIN OFF THAT RACK.
HANSON NEVER MADE IT BACK TO
HIS QUARTERS AFTER THE WEEKEND.
AT LEAST THAT JIBES WITH WHAT
LIEUTENANT TEESE SAID ABOUT HIM.
WHERE DID YOU LEARN TO DO THAT?
LAW SCHOOL.
[giggling]
LOOKS LIKE HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND.
[marines sounding off]
PINKY'S PHOTOS.
CRENSHAW BOULEVARD. L.A.
THINK SHE'S WHO HE'S BEEN
SPENDING HIS WEEKENDS WITH?
WELL, IF IT IS, WHY DID HE
PUT IN FOR A TRANSFER?
TO GET OUT OF CHARLIE COMPANY.
BEFORE COMING TO
CHARLIE COMPANY,
HE APPLIED FOR DUTY
EVERYWHERE BUT THE WEST COAST.
MAYBE IT'S NOT CHARLIE COMPANY
HE'S TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM.
MAYBE HE JOINED THE MARINE
CORPS TO GET AWAY FROM HER.
MEG, LOOK AT THIS.
THEIR HANDS, THOSE ARE
GANG SIGNS THEY'RE FLASHING.
IT LOOKS LIKE HOOK 'EM HORNS.
[laughs]
"HOOK 'EM HORNS"?
LONGHORNS, UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS.
YOU KNOW, HOOK 'EM HORNS.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT
THAT MEANS IN ITALY? MMM?
YOU'VE BEEN CUCKOLD.
[laughs]
OH, MY GOD!
[laughs]
WELL, THAT EXPLAINS IT.
WHAT?
WELL, WHEN I WAS AT TEXAS,
I DATED THIS ITALIAN PILOT
WHO WAS ON AN EXCHANGE
PROGRAM AT LACKLAND.
YOU DATED A PILOT?
MMM-HMM. ONCE.
I TOOK HIM TO A
TEXAS-OKLAHOMA GAME
AND EVERY TIME WE
CHEERED, HE GOT HYSTERICAL.
I JUST THOUGHT HE WAS WEIRD.
IF YOU KNEW WHY, WOULD
YOU HAVE DATED HIM AGAIN?
MMM, MAYBE.
'CAUSE YOU KNOW, IF
YOU DATE ONE PILOT...
SO, HOW ARE WE GOING TO FIND
OUT IF THESE ARE GANG SIGNS?
WE'LL SEND A COPY TO
THE L.A.P.D. THEY'D KNOW.
OR BETTER YET, YOU
TALK TO HANSON'S MOTHER.
YOU KNOW, THE MARINE CORPS
WOULD NEVER HAVE ACCEPTED HIM
IF THEY KNEW HE WAS IN A GANG.
IF OVERTON KNEW, IT WOULD
EXPLAIN THE BLANKET PARTY.
HE'D DO ANYTHING
TO GET RID OF HIM.
WELL, ALL HE'D HAVE TO DO IS
TURN HIM IN AS A GANG MEMBER.
MAYBE THAT'S NOT AS
MUCH FUN AS BREAKING HIM.
NO. IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, HANSON'S MOTHER
SHOULD BE BACK IN THE HOSPITAL BY NOW.
WHY DON'T YOU COVER HER AND I'LL
HANDLE THE BLANKET PARTY ANGLE.
WILL DO, SIR.
HARM?
THAT HAD BETTER
BE HOOK 'EM HORNS.
(mom) THAT'S NIA. SHE WAS
TERRENCE'S GIRLFRIEND.
WAS?
YOU KNOW TEENAGERS. THEY FALL
IN AND OUT OF LOVE EVERY WEEK.
WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER BOY?
I DON'T KNOW.
TERRENCE HAD A LOT OF FRIENDS.
GANG FRIENDS?
TERRENCE WASN'T IN A GANG.
HE WAS TOO SMART FOR THAT.
WHAT ABOUT TYLER?
OH, TYLER'S JUST A BABY.
I AIN'T NO BABY.
[door closing] NO, YOU'RE NOT.
THAT'S WHY I WAS JUST ASKING
YOUR MOTHER IF YOU WERE IN A GANG.
I AIN'T IN A GANG.
YOU TAGGED YOUR BROTHER'S
CAST WITH GANG GRAFFITI.
MAN, THAT AIN'T GANG
GRAFFITI. THAT'S JUST DOODLING.
BESIDES, IT DON'T MEAN NOTHIN'.
I SUPPOSE THESE SIGNS THEY'RE
FLASHING DON'T MEAN NOTHING EITHER?
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
THEY WAS JUST GOOFING.
WHO WAS?
I DON'T KNOW.
I NEVER SAW 'EM BEFORE.
YOUR MOTHER JUST TOLD ME
THAT NIA'S YOUR BROTHER'S GIRL.
YEAH, THAT'S PROBABLY RIGHT.
HE HAD A LOT OF GIRLS.
WAS HE COMING HOME ON
HIS WEEKEND LIBERTIES?
OF COURSE HE WAS.
HE LIKED MY PEACH COBBLER.
AND WAS HE BEATEN
ONE OF THOSE WEEKENDS?
HEY, NOBODY BEATS ON MY BROTHER,
ALL RIGHT? THEY WOULDN'T DARE.
WHY NOT? BECAUSE HE'S IN A GANG?
WHY DON'T YOU GO SWAB
A DECK OR SOMETHING?
TYLER, YOU DON'T TALK
LIKE THAT, YOUNG MAN!
WHERE ARE YOU GOIN'?
TO GET A SODA.
HEY, TYLER.
[door closing]
GUESS WHAT DENNIS
RODMAN DID THIS WEEK?
HE DYED HIS HAIR GREEN.
JUST LIKE THAT
BOY IN THE MOVIES.
OH, WHAT WAS THAT ACTOR'S NAME?
OH, YOU USED TO LOVE
HIM IN QUANTUM LEAP.
DEAN STOCKWELL.
IF HE WERE HERE NOW, I'D HAVE HIM
CALL ZIGGY AND GET ME THE TRUTH.
(Moon) I DIDN'T KNOW
HANSON HAD GONE ELVIS
UNTIL AFTER FIRST
FORMATION, SIR.
I REPORTED HIS ABSENCE
TO LIEUTENANT TEESE.
THAT'S THE LAST I
THOUGHT ABOUT IT.
TILL WE FOUND HIM AT THE BEACH.
HAS THE CAPTAIN EVER ASKED YOU
TO PUSH CERTAIN MARINES
HARDER THAN OTHERS?
SOMETIMES I HAVE TO
FOCUS ON INDIVIDUAL MARINES
TO HELP THEM REALIZE
THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.
LIKE THROWING A BLANKET PARTY?
NEVER, SIR!
COME ON, SERGEANT. WE
BOTH KNOW THEY HAPPEN.
I'VE HEARD RUMORS
SOME COMPANIES USE 'EM
TO HELP LOST MARINES
FIND THEIR WAY.
BUT NOT CHARLIE COMPANY, SIR.
ACCORDING TO LIEUTENANT TEESE,
PRIVATE HANSON HAD LOST HIS WAY.
HANSON DIDN'T SEEM
TO WANNA BE HERE.
BUT NO BLANKET PARTY?
NO, SIR.
[marines chattering]
SPIT IT OUT, SERGEANT.
CHARLIE COMPANY IS THE
BEST COMBAT UNIT IN THE WORLD.
SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO
FOCUS ON AN INDIVIDUAL MARINE
TO HELP HIM REALIZE
HIS FULL POTENTIAL.
LIKE P.F.C. HANSON?
HE WAS BELOW CHARLIE
COMPANY STANDARDS, SIR.
BUT HE WASN'T THE ONLY ONE.
WHO WERE THE OTHERS?
CARTER, STILES, MORGAN.
HOW MANY OF 'EM WERE BLACK?
SIR?
IT'S A SIMPLE QUESTION,
SERGEANT MOON.
HOW MANY OF THE OTHER
MARINES WERE BLACK?
ALL OF THEM.
(Meg) IF I FOUND OUT
HANSON WAS IN A GANG,
YOU CAN BET CAPTAIN OVERTON DID.
HE HAD HIS MEN THROW A
BLANKET PARTY TO PUNISH HIM.
IT GOT OUT OF HAND,
AND NOW HE'S COVERING.
I DON'T THINK THERE
WAS A BLANKET PARTY.
OVERTON'S HARD ON HIS
MEN, ESPECIALLY THE BLACKS,
BUT NOT BECAUSE HE'S
RACIST OR SADISTIC.
I THINK HE WANTS THEM TO
BE BETTER THAN THE REST.
THEN WHO BEAT UP HANSON?
OVERTON KNOWS.
HE DIDN'T WANT US ON THE BEACH
BECAUSE HE'S AFRAID
WE'LL FIND SOMETHING.
BUT WHAT?
IF I KNEW THAT, I'D BE AT THE OFFICER'S
CLUB RIGHT NOW BUYING YOU A BEER.
[seagulls cawing]
(Overton) COME ON,
BOY! DIG, DIG, DIG!
[marine grunting]
YOU LIKE TO TAKE THAT
RADIO OFF, PRIVATE?
NO, SIR! RIGHT ANSWER!
IF YOU KEEP THAT UP, YOU'LL
MAKE P.F.C. IN A YEAR OR TWO!
YES, SIR! THANK YOU, SIR!
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, STILES?
YOU TIRED? YES, SIR!
PRIVATE CONNORS?
SIR! YES, SIR!
PRIVATE STILES HAS OFFERED TO
TOW YOUR RADIO WHILE HE DIGS!
YES, SIR! RIGHT, PRIVATE?
YES, SIR!
WHAT'S THIS EXERCISE, CAPTAIN?
THE MEN ARE CLEARING
THE BEACH OF MINES.
HALF OF THEM WOULD BE DEAD
THE WAY THEY'RE GOING ABOUT IT.
THE MINES ARE
DUMMIES, LIEUTENANT.
UNCOVERED ANY?
NOT YET.
(Rodriguez) CAPTAIN!
IS THIS WHAT YOU'RE
LOOKING FOR, SIR?
OPEN IT, CORPORAL.
(Rodriguez) DAMN. IT'S CRACK.
PRETTY LETHAL DUMMIES
YOU BURY HERE, CAPTAIN.
(marine #1) RIGHT
AWAY, LET'S GO.
(marine #2) YES, SIR.
CRACK COCAINE?
IT'S CRANK.
CRYSTAL METH. HIGHLY
ADDICTIVE. JUST AS DEADLY.
MAYBE $100,000,
$150,000 IN HERE.
PRETTY SAVVY WHEN
IT COMES TO DRUGS.
KNOW YOUR ENEMY.
LEARN THAT IN A CORPS,
CAPTAIN, OR ON THE STREETS?
WE PULLED YOUR RECORD. YOU'RE
FROM COMPTON. THAT'S GANG TERRITORY.
DES MOINES, IOWA, HAS
GANG TURF, LIEUTENANT.
IS EVERYBODY FROM DES
MOINES A GANG BANGER?
OR JUST BLACKS?
I AM NOT A RACIST, SIR.
YOU THINK LIKE ONE.
AND YOU, SIR, ACT LIKE ONE!
SINGLING OUT BLACK MARINES.
SETTING IMPOSSIBLE GOALS. PUNISHING
THEM IF THEY DON'T ATTAIN THEM.
LIEUTENANT, WHEN
I LOOK AT MY MEN,
THE ONLY COLOR I
SEE IS MARINE GREEN.
IF THAT WERE TRUE, P.F.C. HANSON
COULD'VE COME TO YOU WITH HIS PROBLEM.
WHAT? HOW TO PUSH
DRUGS ON THE BASE?
I THINK HIS PROBLEM WAS
HE DIDN'T WANNA SELL DRUGS.
IF CHARLIE COMPANY DIDN'T
THROW HIM A BLANKET PARTY,
MAYBE HIS OLD GANG DID.
NO. NO!
IF THAT WERE TRUE, HE
COULD HAVE COME TO ME.
IF HE WAS WHITE.
BUT BLACKS IN YOUR COMMAND
KNOW THEY CAN SHOW NO WEAKNESS.
MAKE NO MISTAKES.
HAVE NO PROBLEMS.
I JUST HOPE YOU'RE
HARDER ON THEM
AS A MOTIVATION TO
SUCCEED AS YOU DID.
IT COULD BE YOU'RE JUST ANGRY
AT THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN.
[cardiogram beeping]
[door opening] (woman on P.A.
system) DR. JOHNSON. 6263.
DR. JOHNSON. 6263.
[woman chattering
on P.A. system]
P.F.C. HANSON.
SON, WE HAVE TO TALK.
WE CAN'T DO THAT
WITH YOU ASLEEP.
WE'RE HITTIN' THE BEACH AT 0500.
TAKIN' DUKE'S BLUFF
WITH A FRONTAL ASSAULT.
SINCE HE COULDN'T DO IT, CAPTAIN
LEE DOESN'T THINK IT CAN BE DONE.
BUT HE DIDN'T HAVE
CHARLIE COMPANY BEHIND HIM.
DAMN IT, HANSON! WAKE UP!
I'M TALKIN' TO YOU, BOY!
YOU KEEP PLAYING
SLEEPING BEAUTY,
AND I'M GONNA STICK A HAND
GRENADE IN YOUR BEDPAN!
WHAT'RE YOU DOING? I'M
RUNNIN' OUT OF PATIENCE, HANSON!
STOP IT!
YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS
TO OPEN YOUR SORRY EYES
OR I'LL CLOSE 'EM FOR YOU
PERMANENTLY! CALL THE M.P.s!
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM,
LIEUTENANT? YOU ARE, CAPTAIN!
YOU'RE ENDANGERING
THIS KID'S LIFE!
HE ISN'T A KID! HE'S A MARINE!
I'M TALKING TO YOU, MARINE!
PRIVATE, TEN-HUT!
SIR.
(Sanford) I'VE NEVER
SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
CAPTAIN OVERTON ORDERED HIM
AWAKE. AND P.F.C. HANSON WOKE UP.
CHANGE YOUR OPINION OF THE
CAPTAIN'S METHODS, DOCTOR?
NO. BUT I CAN'T DENY
WHAT HE'S ACCOMPLISHED.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING, MARINE?
I'M FINE, MA'AM.
NOW THAT I HAVE SOME OF MY
MOM'S PEACH COBBLER IN ME.
LIEUTENANT RABB AND LIEUTENANT J.G.
AUSTIN WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH YOU.
THEY'RE FROM JAG. WHAT'S JAG?
THE JUDGE ADVOCATE
GENERAL CORPS, MA'AM.
YOU DIDN'T SAY A JUDGE SENT YOU.
IT'S NOT THAT KIND OF
A JUDGE, MRS. HANSON.
IT WASN'T HIS FAULT. MOM, WHY DON'T
YOU GO HOME AND GET SOME SLEEP.
HE JOINED THE MARINES SO HE
COULD GET AWAY FROM THEM. MOM.
THE GANGS? THEY
WON'T LET HIM GO.
MOM, PLEASE.
IT'LL BE OK, MRS. HANSON.
LIEUTENANT SANFORD CALLED US TO
PROTECT YOUR SON, NOT TO HURT HIM.
THAT'S THE TRUTH, MRS. HANSON.
HE'S A GOOD BOY, SIR.
HE JUST GOT IN WITH
SOME BAD COMPANY.
BUT THE MARINES
STRAIGHTENED HIM OUT.
PLEASE, DON'T DO
ANYTHING TO CHANGE THAT.
YES, MA'AM.
I JUST EXPLAINED EVERYTHING
TO CAPTAIN OVERTON, SIR.
HE SAID HE'D HANDLE IT.
I'M SURE HE WILL, BUT WE'D
LIKE TO HEAR WHAT YOU TOLD HIM.
BEFORE I JOINED THE
CORPS, I WAS A REAPER.
GETTING MESSED UP. GANG BANGIN'.
HEADED FOR THE MISSION.
THE MISSION?
THE L.A. MORGUE'S ON
MISSION ROAD, MA'AM.
ONE DAY, STICK
GETS THIS FLASHBULB.
HE SAYS HE WANTS A
REAPER TO JOIN THE PROUD.
THE MARINES. YES, MA'AM.
HE WANTS ONE OF US
INSIDE TO PUSH CRANK.
BUT NO ONE WANTS TO DO IT
BECAUSE YOU GOT TO GO CLEAN
FOR 3 MONTHS TO PASS THE DRUG TEST.
SO WE SHOOT CRAPS FOR IT.
[laughs] I LOST.
LUCKY YOU.
AT THE TIME I
DIDN'T THINK SO, SIR,
BUT IT SURE WAS.
BOOT CHANGED ME.
I LEARNED THAT HONOR, DISCIPLINE,
AND RESPECT WEREN'T JUST HOKEY WORDS.
THE CORPS GAVE ME A CHANCE
TO MAKE SOMETHING OF MY LIFE.
THAT'S WHY YOU PUT IN FOR DUTY
STATIONED ANYWHERE BUT HERE?
YES, SIR.
BUT HERE I GOT.
(Harm) UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S
USUALLY THE WAY IT GOES.
WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST STAY
AWAY FROM THE REAPERS?
IT'S KIND OF HARD TO
DUCK 'EM IN THE HOOD, SIR.
I WANTED TO SEE MY
MOM AND... AND TYLER.
AND NIA.
SHE WAS MY GIRL.
BUT SHE'S STICK'S NOW.
SO STICK MET YOU ON THE BEACH
WITH THE TACKLE BOX FULL OF CRANK,
AND WHEN YOU REFUSED TO
PUSH IT, HE HAD YOU BEATEN?
YES, SIR.
WHY DIDN'T YOU GO
TO CAPTAIN OVERTON?
BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID HE'D
BOOT ME OUT OF THE CORPS.
BUT I WAS WRONG.
HE SAID NOT COMING
TO HIM WAS A MISTAKE.
HIS MISTAKE.
AND THAT HE'D MAKE THINGS RIGHT.
CAPTAIN OVERTON SAID THAT?
YES, MA'AM.
HE PROMISED HE'D GET
MY BROTHER OUT FOR ME.
STICK'S GONNA PUT HIM IN THE
MISSION IF I DON'T PUSH THAT CRANK.
HE SAID HE'D BE BACK IN
A COUPLE OF HOURS, SIR!
WE'RE HITTIN' THE BEACH
IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.
IF COLONEL BROOKS
LEARNS OF THIS,
HE'LL HAVE OVERTON'S
RAILROAD TRACKS!
OR GIVE HIM A MEDAL!
WHEN DID HE LEAVE?
(Teese) ABOUT AN HOUR AGO, SIR.
WHAT'S GOING ON, JAG?
YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW, SIR.
THE HELL I DON'T.
DID CAPTAIN OVERTON
TAKE THE CRANK?
NO, SIR. IT'S STILL IN
THE COMPANY SAFE.

RADIOLOGY. DR. COHEN TO RADIOLOGY.
HI.
P.F.C. HANSON SUFFERED
HIS CONCUSSION
IN A SIMULATED
ARTILLERY EXPLOSION
DURING A LANDING
EXERCISE YESTERDAY.
HE'S BEEN IN A COMA EVER SINCE.
BUT HE DIDN'T GET THESE
FROM AN EXPLOSION.
THE INVESTIGATING OFFICER
REPORTED THAT P.F.C. HANSON
WAS SLEEPING OFF A
DRUNK ON THE BEACH
AND THAT HE GOT THE
BRUISES IN A BAR FIGHT.
THERE WAS NO ALCOHOL
IN HIS BLOOD, OR DRUGS.
HE COULD STILL HAVE
BEEN BRUISED IN A BRAWL.
NOT A BRAWL.
A BEATING.
I BELIEVE SOMEBODY BEAT
HIM AND LEFT HIM ON THE BEACH.
WHICH IS WHY I REQUESTED
A JAG INVESTIGATION.
YOU DON'T TRUST
THE CHARLIE COMPANY
INVESTIGATOR, LIEUTENANT TEESE?
LIEUTENANT TEESE ANSWERS TO HIS
COMPANY COMMANDER, CAPTAIN OVERTON.
LIEUTENANT, YOU'RE IMPLYING
THE INVESTIGATION WAS A COVER-UP.
ALL I KNOW IS IN THE 6
MONTHS THAT I HAVE BEEN HERE,
I HAVE TREATED INJURED
MARINES FROM CHARLIE COMPANY
TWICE AS OFTEN AS ANY
OTHERS ON THIS BASE.
ESPECIALLY
AFRICAN-AMERICAN MARINES.
NOW YOU'RE IMPLYING THE
ASSAULT, IF THERE WAS ONE,
WAS RACIST.
NUMBERS DON'T LIE.
WELL, LIEUTENANT, IF
WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE,
YOU'VE DONE THE RIGHT
THING, CALLING US IN.
THANK YOU.
I JUST HOPE YOU'RE WRONG.
SO DO I, LIEUTENANT.
[woman chattering
on P.A. system]
[marines sounding off]
(Meg) WHAT DO YOU THINK?
(Harm) SHE'S CUTE. SMART, TOO.
PROBABLY WENT TO MED
SCHOOL ON THE NAVY BILL,
NOW SHE'S WORKIN'
TO PAY 'EM BACK.
CAN'T WAIT TO GET OUT AND
ESTABLISH HER OWN PRACTICE.
NO RING, SHE'S SINGLE.
UNLIKELY SHE'S EVEN
IN A RELATIONSHIP.
SHE HAS NO USE
FOR MILITARY TYPES
AND SHE'S WORKING TOO MANY
HOURS TO SOCIALIZE OFF THE BASE.
(marines) SIR.
NICELY DONE, SHERLOCK.
BUT I WAS REFERRING
TO HER ACCUSATION
THAT CHARLIE COMPANY'S
COMMANDER'S A RACIST.
IT'D BE DAMN HARD TO ACHIEVE
THE RANK OF CAPTAIN IN THE
CORPS IF YOU WERE A RACIST.
BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE.
NO, BUT IT WOULD TAKE MORE
THAN A YOUNG DOCTOR'S OPINION
BEFORE I ACCUSE A MARINE
CORPS CAPTAIN OF BEING A RACIST.
IF SHE WAS WHITE WOULD
YOU FEEL DIFFERENTLY?
NO.
P.F.C. HANSON COULD HAVE
GOTTEN THOSE BRUISES
IN A FIGHT, IN AN ACCIDENT,
OR IN A RACIAL ASSAULT.
AND WE'LL NEVER KNOW
FOR SURE UNTIL HE WAKES UP.
WHAT IF HE DOESN'T WAKE UP?
[marines sounding off]
(Lee) I TOLD YOU DUKE'S BLUFF
COULDN'T BE TAKEN
BY A FRONTAL ASSAULT.
(Overton) IT COULD
HAVE IF YOUR MEN DIDN'T
STOP TO BUILD SANDCASTLES...
OH, THAT IS SUCH...
(Teese) EXCUSE ME, SIR.
LIEUTENANT RABB AND
LIEUTENANT J.G. AUSTIN. JAG.
CAPTAIN OVERTON. CAPTAIN LEE.
THIS IS CAPTAIN OVERTON.
[phone ringing]
IS SOMETHIN' WRONG?
UH, NO. NO.
CAN WE SPEAK TO YOU ALONE, CAP?
IF IT WON'T TAKE LONG. I
HAVE AN ASSAULT TO PLAN.
LIEUTENANTS.
SCUTTLEBUTT HAS IT YOU'RE
INVESTIGATING P.F.C. HANSON'S ACCIDENT.
SCUTTLEBUTT IS
CORRECT. AS USUAL.
MMM-HMM.
I HAD ONE OF MY
OFFICERS INVESTIGATE.
P.F.C. HANSON WAS SLEEPING
OFF A DRUNK ON THE BEACH
AND UNFORTUNATELY GOT
CAUGHT IN A SIMULATED EXPLOSION.
HE HAD NO ALCOHOL
IN HIS BLOOD, SIR.
BY THE TIME HE HAD BLOOD TAKEN,
IT WAS PROBABLY
OUT OF HIS SYSTEM.
AND THE BRUISES ON HIS BODY?
LIEUTENANT TEESE BELIEVES
THEY'RE A RESULT OF A BAR BRAWL.
LIEUTENANT TEESE HAD NOTHING IN
HIS REPORT TO SUBSTANTIATE THAT.
TEESE!
HE JUST LEFT FOR
THE MOTOR POOL, SIR.
GET HIM BACK. NOW.
YES, SIR.
LIEUTENANT SANFORD
IS BEHIND THIS, ISN'T SHE?
AN INJURED MARINE IS
BEHIND THIS, CAPTAIN.
DID YOU HAVE PROBLEMS
WITH LIEUTENANT SANFORD, SIR?
YES, I'VE HAD PROBLEMS
WITH THE DOCTOR.
SHE DOESN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND
THAT WE TRAIN WARRIORS HERE,
AND SOMETIMES THEY GET HURT.
SHE SEEMS TO THINK MARINES IN YOUR
COMPANY GET INJURED MORE THAN OTHERS.
THEY DO.
I TRAIN 'EM HARDER
THAN ANYONE ELSE.
THE MORE THEY SWEAT IN TRAININ',
THE LESS THEY BLEED IN WAR.
(Teese) YOU SENT FOR ME, SIR?
WHAT MADE YOU BELIEVE P.F.C.
HANSON WAS INVOLVED IN A BAR BRAWL?
IT HAPPENED BEFORE, SIR.
AFTER LIBERTY LAST WEEKEND,
HE CAME BACK BEAT TO HELL.
DID HE SAY HE WAS IN A FIGHT?
HE DIDN'T GIVE ANY
EXPLANATION, SIR.
DID YOU LEARN IT
FROM HIS BUDDIES?
P.F.C. HANSON DOESN'T ASSOCIATE
WITH OTHER CHARLIE COMPANY MARINES.
WHO DOES HE ASSOCIATE WITH?
I HAVE NO IDEA, SIR.
THE MINUTE HE'S OFF
DUTY ON FRIDAY, HE LEAVES.
AND HE DOESN'T RETURN
UNTIL MONDAY MORNING MUSTER.
SO YOU ASSUMED HE WAS
IN A FIGHT WHILE ON LIBERTY.
AND BASED ON THAT ASSUMPTION,
YOU ASSUMED HIS CURRENT
BRUISES WERE THE RESULT OF A FIGHT.
YES, SIR.
DO 2 ASSUMPTIONS MAKE A FACT,
LIEUTENANT? NOT NECESSARILY, SIR.
I'D LIKE TO SEE HANSON'S
SERVICE RECORD.
I ASKED FOR IT, LIEUTENANT,
NOT THE CAPTAIN!
YES, SIR!
NOT A VERY THOROUGH
INVESTIGATION, CAPTAIN.
APPARENTLY NOT.
BUT, BELIEVE ME,
I'LL RECTIFY THAT.
NO, SIR. WE WILL.
(marine) HANSON'S FILE, SIR.
(Teese) HERE'S YOUR FILE, SIR.
THANK YOU, LIEUTENANT.
P.F.C. HANSON'S BEEN WITH
US A LITTLE OVER A MONTH, SIR.
BUT EVEN IN THAT SHORT TIME IT WAS
CLEAR HE WASN'T A CHARLIE COMPANY MARINE.
HE JUST DIDN'T WANNA
GET WITH THE PROGRAM.
HOW DO YOU GET MARINES LIKE HANSON
WITH YOUR PROGRAM, LIEUTENANT?
WORK 'EM TWICE AS HARD, SIR.
AND IF THEY DON'T COMPLY WITH
CHARLIE COMPANY STANDARDS?
WE GET THEM THERE, SIR.
BY CALLING A CODE RED?
[laughing] THAT'S STRICTLY
IN THE MOVIES, LIEUTENANT.
THERE'S NO SUCH THING
AS A CODE RED IN THE CORPS.
WHAT ABOUT BLANKET PARTIES?
NOT IN CHARLIE COMPANY, SIR.
WE'LL RETURN THIS
WHEN WE'RE THROUGH.
YES, SIR.
(Meg) WHY DIDN'T YOU BRING UP
WHAT LIEUTENANT SANFORD SAID
ABOUT THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN
MARINES TO CAPTAIN OVERTON?
COME ON, MEG. THE MAN IS BLACK.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN
HE'S NOT A RACIST.
NO, BUT IT'S HIGHLY UNLIKELY,
AND I'M NOT ABOUT
TO ACCUSE A CAPTAIN,
ESPECIALLY A BLACK CAPTAIN, OF
RACISM WITHOUT SOLID EVIDENCE.
WHAT'S IN HANSON'S
SERVICE RECORD?
[seagulls cawing]
HE WAS HONOR MAN IN HIS
PLATOON AT RECRUIT TRAINING.
FIRST IN HIS CLASS
IN COMBAT TRAINING.
DOESN'T JIVE WITH WHAT LIEUTENANT
TEESE SAID HE'S BEEN LIKE HERE.
LIEUTENANT TEESE AND
CAPTAIN OVERTON ARE COVERING.
COVERING WHAT?
I MEAN, IF HE'S AS SQUARED
AWAY HERE AS HE WAS IN TRAINING,
THEY'D BE HAPPY TO HAVE HIM.
ANYTHING ELSE IN THERE?
MMM,
LET'S SEE.
ON GRADUATION, HE
REQUESTED ASSIGNMENT
TO THE 3RD MARINE
DIVISION ON OKINAWA
OR THE 2ND AT CAMP
LEJEUNE, NORTH CAROLINA.
SO HE REQUESTED A FOREIGN
ASSIGNMENT OR THE EAST COAST.
IS HE FROM BACK EAST?
NO. L.A.
HEY, HARM, GET THIS.
SINCE ARRIVING AT
CHARLIE COMPANY
HE'S REQUESTED A TRANSFER TWICE.
NEITHER OF WHICH CAPTAIN
OVERTON APPROVED.
TEESE SAID HE WASN'T A
CHARLIE COMPANY MARINE.
IF THAT'S SO, WHY
WOULD CAPTAIN OVERTON
NOT APPROVE HIS
REQUEST FOR A TRANSFER?
BECAUSE IT'S NOT
OVERTON'S STYLE.
HE'D RATHER THROW A BLANKET
PARTY TO SQUARE HIM AWAY.
ONLY THEY DIDN'T COUNT ON HANSON
GETTING CAUGHT IN AN EXPLOSION.
WHAT, THEY DUMP HIM ON THE BEACH
WHERE THEY KNOW HE'LL BE
IN THE MIDDLE OF A LANDING?
THAT'S A LITTLE CRAZY
EVEN FOR MARINES.
[marines yelling]
NOTHING'S TOO CRAZY FOR MARINES.
EVER FLY ONE OF
THOSE, LIEUTENANT?
HELL OF A CLOSE
SUPPORT AIRCRAFT.
WE'VE LANDED THEM IN...
I'M NOT HERE TO CHIT-CHAT ABOUT THE
TACTICAL ABILITIES OF THE HARRIER, MISTER.
WHAT I WANNA KNOW RIGHT NOW,
IS WHY YOUR MEN
AMBUSHED US ON THE BEACH.
THEY WEREN'T THERE
TO AMBUSH YOU.
THEY WERE ON A MISSION.
TO HARASS US.
WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?
TO KEEP US FROM FINDING INFORMATION
PERTINENT TO OUR INVESTIGATION.
THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
THAT BEACH WAS SHREDDED
BY AN AMPHIBIOUS LANDING.
EVERYTHING ON IT WAS POUNDED INTO
THE SAND AND WASHED AWAY BY THE TIDE.
JUST LIKE CHARLIE COMPANY
WANTED P.F.C. HANSON TO BE?
IF YOU HAVE EVIDENCE OF ANY
MARINE UNDER MY COMMAND
THAT INTENTIONALLY TRIED TO
HURT P.F.C. HANSON, LAY IT OUT!
BUT DON'T ACCUSE MY MEN OF
SOMETHING YOU CAN'T BACK, LIEUTENANT!
WHY DID YOU DENY HANSON'S
REQUEST FOR A TRANSFER?
I DON'T LIKE QUITTERS.
P.F.C. HANSON WAS AN
OUTSTANDING MARINE IN BOOT.
AN OUTSTANDING MARINE
IN INFANTRY TRAINING.
WHY WAS HE SUBSTANDARD
IN CHARLIE COMPANY?
TRAINING COMMANDS
ARE NOT LINE UNITS.
I'M SURE THERE ARE PILOTS
WHO GET THEIR WINGS,
BUT CAN'T HACK IT IN THE FLEET.
CAPTAIN, YOU ARE WAY OUT
OF LINE! IF YOU KNEW WHY...
AS YOU WERE, LIEUTENANT AUSTIN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
ON THE BEACH THAT NIGHT, CAPTAIN.
BUT NOW, MORE THAN
EVER, I'M CERTAIN YOU DO.
AND WHEN I UNCOVER
WHAT IT IS YOU'RE HIDING,
YOUR CAREER IN THE
CORPS WILL BE OVER, CAPTAIN.
[sighing]
(squad leader) BACK TO
BARRACKS, PRIVATE.
(private) YES SIR.
[marines sounding off]
HARM, YOU HAD EVERY RIGHT.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE
DONE IT. I LOST MY COOL.
SO YOU'RE HUMAN.
SOMEBODY IN CHARLIE COMPANY
THREW A BLANKET PARTY ON THAT BEACH
AND OVERTON'S TRYING TO HIDE IT.
WHAT IF HE DIDN'T KNOW?
THAT CAPTAIN KNOWS EVERYTHING
THAT GOES ON IN HIS COMMAND.
WELL, HE WAS SURPRISED
THAT LIEUTENANT TEESE
DIDN'T HAVE EVIDENCE
TO BACK HIS REPORT.
WHAT IF THOSE GUYS ON THE
BEACH WEREN'T THERE TO GRAB US?
WELL, HE DIDN'T APOLOGIZE, AND HE
DIDN'T OFFER TO HELP US LOOK AROUND.
HE WAS RIGHT. THE LANDING
POUNDED EVERYTHING IN THE SAND.
HARM, HE DIDN'T WANT US THERE.
MAYBE.
(Harm) YOU CAN BOUNCE
A COIN OFF THAT RACK.
HANSON NEVER MADE IT BACK TO
HIS QUARTERS AFTER THE WEEKEND.
AT LEAST THAT JIBES WITH WHAT
LIEUTENANT TEESE SAID ABOUT HIM.
WHERE DID YOU LEARN TO DO THAT?
LAW SCHOOL.
[giggling]
LOOKS LIKE HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND.
[marines sounding off]
PINKY'S PHOTOS.
CRENSHAW BOULEVARD. L.A.
THINK SHE'S WHO HE'S BEEN
SPENDING HIS WEEKENDS WITH?
WELL, IF IT IS, WHY DID HE
PUT IN FOR A TRANSFER?
TO GET OUT OF CHARLIE COMPANY.
BEFORE COMING TO
CHARLIE COMPANY,
HE APPLIED FOR DUTY
EVERYWHERE BUT THE WEST COAST.
MAYBE IT'S NOT CHARLIE COMPANY
HE'S TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM.
MAYBE HE JOINED THE MARINE
CORPS TO GET AWAY FROM HER.
MEG, LOOK AT THIS.
THEIR HANDS, THOSE ARE
GANG SIGNS THEY'RE FLASHING.
IT LOOKS LIKE HOOK 'EM HORNS.
[laughs]
"HOOK 'EM HORNS"?
LONGHORNS, UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS.
YOU KNOW, HOOK 'EM HORNS.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT
THAT MEANS IN ITALY? MMM?
YOU'VE BEEN CUCKOLD.
[laughs]
OH, MY GOD!
[laughs]
WELL, THAT EXPLAINS IT.
WHAT?
WELL, WHEN I WAS AT TEXAS,
I DATED THIS ITALIAN PILOT
WHO WAS ON AN EXCHANGE
PROGRAM AT LACKLAND.
YOU DATED A PILOT?
MMM-HMM. ONCE.
I TOOK HIM TO A
TEXAS-OKLAHOMA GAME
AND EVERY TIME WE
CHEERED, HE GOT HYSTERICAL.
I JUST THOUGHT HE WAS WEIRD.
IF YOU KNEW WHY, WOULD
YOU HAVE DATED HIM AGAIN?
MMM, MAYBE.
'CAUSE YOU KNOW, IF
YOU DATE ONE PILOT...
SO, HOW ARE WE GOING TO FIND
OUT IF THESE ARE GANG SIGNS?
WE'LL SEND A COPY TO
THE L.A.P.D. THEY'D KNOW.
OR BETTER YET, YOU
TALK TO HANSON'S MOTHER.
YOU KNOW, THE MARINE CORPS
WOULD NEVER HAVE ACCEPTED HIM
IF THEY KNEW HE WAS IN A GANG.
IF OVERTON KNEW, IT WOULD
EXPLAIN THE BLANKET PARTY.
HE'D DO ANYTHING
TO GET RID OF HIM.
WELL, ALL HE'D HAVE TO DO IS
TURN HIM IN AS A GANG MEMBER.
MAYBE THAT'S NOT AS
MUCH FUN AS BREAKING HIM.
NO. IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, HANSON'S MOTHER
SHOULD BE BACK IN THE HOSPITAL BY NOW.
WHY DON'T YOU COVER HER AND I'LL
HANDLE THE BLANKET PARTY ANGLE.
WILL DO, SIR.
HARM?
THAT HAD BETTER
BE HOOK 'EM HORNS.
(mom) THAT'S NIA. SHE WAS
TERRENCE'S GIRLFRIEND.
WAS?
YOU KNOW TEENAGERS. THEY FALL
IN AND OUT OF LOVE EVERY WEEK.
WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER BOY?
I DON'T KNOW.
TERRENCE HAD A LOT OF FRIENDS.
GANG FRIENDS?
TERRENCE WASN'T IN A GANG.
HE WAS TOO SMART FOR THAT.
WHAT ABOUT TYLER?
OH, TYLER'S JUST A BABY.
I AIN'T NO BABY.
[door closing] NO, YOU'RE NOT.
THAT'S WHY I WAS JUST ASKING
YOUR MOTHER IF YOU WERE IN A GANG.
I AIN'T IN A GANG.
YOU TAGGED YOUR BROTHER'S
CAST WITH GANG GRAFFITI.
MAN, THAT AIN'T GANG
GRAFFITI. THAT'S JUST DOODLING.
BESIDES, IT DON'T MEAN NOTHIN'.
I SUPPOSE THESE SIGNS THEY'RE
FLASHING DON'T MEAN NOTHING EITHER?
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
THEY WAS JUST GOOFING.
WHO WAS?
I DON'T KNOW.
I NEVER SAW 'EM BEFORE.
YOUR MOTHER JUST TOLD ME
THAT NIA'S YOUR BROTHER'S GIRL.
YEAH, THAT'S PROBABLY RIGHT.
HE HAD A LOT OF GIRLS.
WAS HE COMING HOME ON
HIS WEEKEND LIBERTIES?
OF COURSE HE WAS.
HE LIKED MY PEACH COBBLER.
AND WAS HE BEATEN
ONE OF THOSE WEEKENDS?
HEY, NOBODY BEATS ON MY BROTHER,
ALL RIGHT? THEY WOULDN'T DARE.
WHY NOT? BECAUSE HE'S IN A GANG?
WHY DON'T YOU GO SWAB
A DECK OR SOMETHING?
TYLER, YOU DON'T TALK
LIKE THAT, YOUNG MAN!
WHERE ARE YOU GOIN'?
TO GET A SODA.
HEY, TYLER.
[door closing]
GUESS WHAT DENNIS
RODMAN DID THIS WEEK?
HE DYED HIS HAIR GREEN.
JUST LIKE THAT
BOY IN THE MOVIES.
OH, WHAT WAS THAT ACTOR'S NAME?
OH, YOU USED TO LOVE
HIM IN QUANTUM LEAP.
DEAN STOCKWELL.
IF HE WERE HERE NOW, I'D HAVE HIM
CALL ZIGGY AND GET ME THE TRUTH.
(Moon) I DIDN'T KNOW
HANSON HAD GONE ELVIS
UNTIL AFTER FIRST
FORMATION, SIR.
I REPORTED HIS ABSENCE
TO LIEUTENANT TEESE.
THAT'S THE LAST I
THOUGHT ABOUT IT.
TILL WE FOUND HIM AT THE BEACH.
HAS THE CAPTAIN EVER ASKED YOU
TO PUSH CERTAIN MARINES
HARDER THAN OTHERS?
SOMETIMES I HAVE TO
FOCUS ON INDIVIDUAL MARINES
TO HELP THEM REALIZE
THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.
LIKE THROWING A BLANKET PARTY?
NEVER, SIR!
COME ON, SERGEANT. WE
BOTH KNOW THEY HAPPEN.
I'VE HEARD RUMORS
SOME COMPANIES USE 'EM
TO HELP LOST MARINES
FIND THEIR WAY.
BUT NOT CHARLIE COMPANY, SIR.
ACCORDING TO LIEUTENANT TEESE,
PRIVATE HANSON HAD LOST HIS WAY.
HANSON DIDN'T SEEM
TO WANNA BE HERE.
BUT NO BLANKET PARTY?
NO, SIR.
[marines chattering]
SPIT IT OUT, SERGEANT.
CHARLIE COMPANY IS THE
BEST COMBAT UNIT IN THE WORLD.
SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO
FOCUS ON AN INDIVIDUAL MARINE
TO HELP HIM REALIZE
HIS FULL POTENTIAL.
LIKE P.F.C. HANSON?
HE WAS BELOW CHARLIE
COMPANY STANDARDS, SIR.
BUT HE WASN'T THE ONLY ONE.
WHO WERE THE OTHERS?
CARTER, STILES, MORGAN.
HOW MANY OF 'EM WERE BLACK?
SIR?
IT'S A SIMPLE QUESTION,
SERGEANT MOON.
HOW MANY OF THE OTHER
MARINES WERE BLACK?
ALL OF THEM.
(Meg) IF I FOUND OUT
HANSON WAS IN A GANG,
YOU CAN BET CAPTAIN OVERTON DID.
HE HAD HIS MEN THROW A
BLANKET PARTY TO PUNISH HIM.
IT GOT OUT OF HAND,
AND NOW HE'S COVERING.
I DON'T THINK THERE
WAS A BLANKET PARTY.
OVERTON'S HARD ON HIS
MEN, ESPECIALLY THE BLACKS,
BUT NOT BECAUSE HE'S
RACIST OR SADISTIC.
I THINK HE WANTS THEM TO
BE BETTER THAN THE REST.
THEN WHO BEAT UP HANSON?
OVERTON KNOWS.
HE DIDN'T WANT US ON THE BEACH
BECAUSE HE'S AFRAID
WE'LL FIND SOMETHING.
BUT WHAT?
IF I KNEW THAT, I'D BE AT THE OFFICER'S
CLUB RIGHT NOW BUYING YOU A BEER.
[seagulls cawing]
(Overton) COME ON,
BOY! DIG, DIG, DIG!
[marine grunting]
YOU LIKE TO TAKE THAT
RADIO OFF, PRIVATE?
NO, SIR! RIGHT ANSWER!
IF YOU KEEP THAT UP, YOU'LL
MAKE P.F.C. IN A YEAR OR TWO!
YES, SIR! THANK YOU, SIR!
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, STILES?
YOU TIRED? YES, SIR!
PRIVATE CONNORS?
SIR! YES, SIR!
PRIVATE STILES HAS OFFERED TO
TOW YOUR RADIO WHILE HE DIGS!
YES, SIR! RIGHT, PRIVATE?
YES, SIR!
WHAT'S THIS EXERCISE, CAPTAIN?
THE MEN ARE CLEARING
THE BEACH OF MINES.
HALF OF THEM WOULD BE DEAD
THE WAY THEY'RE GOING ABOUT IT.
THE MINES ARE
DUMMIES, LIEUTENANT.
UNCOVERED ANY?
NOT YET.
(Rodriguez) CAPTAIN!
IS THIS WHAT YOU'RE
LOOKING FOR, SIR?
OPEN IT, CORPORAL.
(Rodriguez) DAMN. IT'S CRACK.
PRETTY LETHAL DUMMIES
YOU BURY HERE, CAPTAIN.
(marine #1) RIGHT
AWAY, LET'S GO.
(marine #2) YES, SIR.
CRACK COCAINE?
IT'S CRANK.
CRYSTAL METH. HIGHLY
ADDICTIVE. JUST AS DEADLY.
MAYBE $100,000,
$150,000 IN HERE.
PRETTY SAVVY WHEN
IT COMES TO DRUGS.
KNOW YOUR ENEMY.
LEARN THAT IN A CORPS,
CAPTAIN, OR ON THE STREETS?
WE PULLED YOUR RECORD. YOU'RE
FROM COMPTON. THAT'S GANG TERRITORY.
DES MOINES, IOWA, HAS
GANG TURF, LIEUTENANT.
IS EVERYBODY FROM DES
MOINES A GANG BANGER?
OR JUST BLACKS?
I AM NOT A RACIST, SIR.
YOU THINK LIKE ONE.
AND YOU, SIR, ACT LIKE ONE!
SINGLING OUT BLACK MARINES.
SETTING IMPOSSIBLE GOALS. PUNISHING
THEM IF THEY DON'T ATTAIN THEM.
LIEUTENANT, WHEN
I LOOK AT MY MEN,
THE ONLY COLOR I
SEE IS MARINE GREEN.
IF THAT WERE TRUE, P.F.C. HANSON
COULD'VE COME TO YOU WITH HIS PROBLEM.
WHAT? HOW TO PUSH
DRUGS ON THE BASE?
I THINK HIS PROBLEM WAS
HE DIDN'T WANNA SELL DRUGS.
IF CHARLIE COMPANY DIDN'T
THROW HIM A BLANKET PARTY,
MAYBE HIS OLD GANG DID.
NO. NO!
IF THAT WERE TRUE, HE
COULD HAVE COME TO ME.
IF HE WAS WHITE.
BUT BLACKS IN YOUR COMMAND
KNOW THEY CAN SHOW NO WEAKNESS.
MAKE NO MISTAKES.
HAVE NO PROBLEMS.
I JUST HOPE YOU'RE
HARDER ON THEM
AS A MOTIVATION TO
SUCCEED AS YOU DID.
IT COULD BE YOU'RE JUST ANGRY
AT THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN.

P.F.C. HANSON.
SON, WE HAVE TO TALK.
WE CAN'T DO THAT
WITH YOU ASLEEP.
WE'RE HITTIN' THE BEACH AT 0500.
TAKIN' DUKE'S BLUFF
WITH A FRONTAL ASSAULT.
SINCE HE COULDN'T DO IT, CAPTAIN
LEE DOESN'T THINK IT CAN BE DONE.
BUT HE DIDN'T HAVE
CHARLIE COMPANY BEHIND HIM.
DAMN IT, HANSON! WAKE UP!
I'M TALKIN' TO YOU, BOY!
YOU KEEP PLAYING
SLEEPING BEAUTY,
AND I'M GONNA STICK A HAND
GRENADE IN YOUR BEDPAN!
WHAT'RE YOU DOING? I'M
RUNNIN' OUT OF PATIENCE, HANSON!
STOP IT!
YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS
TO OPEN YOUR SORRY EYES
OR I'LL CLOSE 'EM FOR YOU
PERMANENTLY! CALL THE M.P.s!
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM,
LIEUTENANT? YOU ARE, CAPTAIN!
YOU'RE ENDANGERING
THIS KID'S LIFE!
HE ISN'T A KID! HE'S A MARINE!
I'M TALKING TO YOU, MARINE!
PRIVATE, TEN-HUT!
SIR.
(Sanford) I'VE NEVER
SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
CAPTAIN OVERTON ORDERED HIM
AWAKE. AND P.F.C. HANSON WOKE UP.
CHANGE YOUR OPINION OF THE
CAPTAIN'S METHODS, DOCTOR?
NO. BUT I CAN'T DENY
WHAT HE'S ACCOMPLISHED.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING, MARINE?
I'M FINE, MA'AM.
NOW THAT I HAVE SOME OF MY
MOM'S PEACH COBBLER IN ME.
LIEUTENANT RABB AND LIEUTENANT J.G.
AUSTIN WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH YOU.
THEY'RE FROM JAG. WHAT'S JAG?
THE JUDGE ADVOCATE
GENERAL CORPS, MA'AM.
YOU DIDN'T SAY A JUDGE SENT YOU.
IT'S NOT THAT KIND OF
A JUDGE, MRS. HANSON.
IT WASN'T HIS FAULT. MOM, WHY DON'T
YOU GO HOME AND GET SOME SLEEP.
HE JOINED THE MARINES SO HE
COULD GET AWAY FROM THEM. MOM.
THE GANGS? THEY
WON'T LET HIM GO.
MOM, PLEASE.
IT'LL BE OK, MRS. HANSON.
LIEUTENANT SANFORD CALLED US TO
PROTECT YOUR SON, NOT TO HURT HIM.
THAT'S THE TRUTH, MRS. HANSON.
HE'S A GOOD BOY, SIR.
HE JUST GOT IN WITH
SOME BAD COMPANY.
BUT THE MARINES
STRAIGHTENED HIM OUT.
PLEASE, DON'T DO
ANYTHING TO CHANGE THAT.
YES, MA'AM.
I JUST EXPLAINED EVERYTHING
TO CAPTAIN OVERTON, SIR.
HE SAID HE'D HANDLE IT.
I'M SURE HE WILL, BUT WE'D
LIKE TO HEAR WHAT YOU TOLD HIM.
BEFORE I JOINED THE
CORPS, I WAS A REAPER.
GETTING MESSED UP. GANG BANGIN'.
HEADED FOR THE MISSION.
THE MISSION?
THE L.A. MORGUE'S ON
MISSION ROAD, MA'AM.
ONE DAY, STICK
GETS THIS FLASHBULB.
HE SAYS HE WANTS A
REAPER TO JOIN THE PROUD.
THE MARINES. YES, MA'AM.
HE WANTS ONE OF US
INSIDE TO PUSH CRANK.
BUT NO ONE WANTS TO DO IT
BECAUSE YOU GOT TO GO CLEAN
FOR 3 MONTHS TO PASS THE DRUG TEST.
SO WE SHOOT CRAPS FOR IT.
[laughs] I LOST.
LUCKY YOU.
AT THE TIME I
DIDN'T THINK SO, SIR,
BUT IT SURE WAS.
BOOT CHANGED ME.
I LEARNED THAT HONOR, DISCIPLINE,
AND RESPECT WEREN'T JUST HOKEY WORDS.
THE CORPS GAVE ME A CHANCE
TO MAKE SOMETHING OF MY LIFE.
THAT'S WHY YOU PUT IN FOR DUTY
STATIONED ANYWHERE BUT HERE?
YES, SIR.
BUT HERE I GOT.
(Harm) UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S
USUALLY THE WAY IT GOES.
WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST STAY
AWAY FROM THE REAPERS?
IT'S KIND OF HARD TO
DUCK 'EM IN THE HOOD, SIR.
I WANTED TO SEE MY
MOM AND... AND TYLER.
AND NIA.
SHE WAS MY GIRL.
BUT SHE'S STICK'S NOW.
SO STICK MET YOU ON THE BEACH
WITH THE TACKLE BOX FULL OF CRANK,
AND WHEN YOU REFUSED TO
PUSH IT, HE HAD YOU BEATEN?
YES, SIR.
WHY DIDN'T YOU GO
TO CAPTAIN OVERTON?
BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID HE'D
BOOT ME OUT OF THE CORPS.
BUT I WAS WRONG.
HE SAID NOT COMING
TO HIM WAS A MISTAKE.
HIS MISTAKE.
AND THAT HE'D MAKE THINGS RIGHT.
CAPTAIN OVERTON SAID THAT?
YES, MA'AM.
HE PROMISED HE'D GET
MY BROTHER OUT FOR ME.
STICK'S GONNA PUT HIM IN THE
MISSION IF I DON'T PUSH THAT CRANK.
HE SAID HE'D BE BACK IN
A COUPLE OF HOURS, SIR!
WE'RE HITTIN' THE BEACH
IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.
IF COLONEL BROOKS
LEARNS OF THIS,
HE'LL HAVE OVERTON'S
RAILROAD TRACKS!
OR GIVE HIM A MEDAL!
WHEN DID HE LEAVE?
(Teese) ABOUT AN HOUR AGO, SIR.
WHAT'S GOING ON, JAG?
YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW, SIR.
THE HELL I DON'T.
DID CAPTAIN OVERTON
TAKE THE CRANK?
NO, SIR. IT'S STILL IN
THE COMPANY SAFE.
DRUGS?
YOU'RE RIGHT. I
DON'T WANNA KNOW.
DO YOU HAVE A
VEHICLE, LIEUTENANT?
YES, SIR. THE KEYS.
♪ [rap music playing]
[dog barking]
[knocking on door]
[grunting]
(Stick) YO, I SET THE
BROTHER STRAIGHT.
I DROPPED HIM DOWN AT
THE BEACH WITH THE CRANK.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYIN'?
HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT THE
PROUD WAS GOING TO BLOW HOLES IN HIM?
(Tyler) HEY, YO, THEY DIDN'T
BLOW HOLES IN HIM, STICK.
HE ONLY GOT A
CONCUSSION. SHUT UP, TEE.
HEY, GIVE ME A 40.
(Stick) DON'T
SWEAT IT, PAPA GEE.

BE COOL! NOBODY GETS HURT!
I WANT TYLER. (Tyler) DON'T
LET HIM TAKE ME, STICK!
WHO IS THIS RAMBO, TEE?
MY BROTHER SENT HIM. PAYBACK?
NO! HE JUST WANTS TYLER
OUT OF THE REAPERS.
CAN'T DO THAT. TYLER'S
DOWN WITH THE SET, RAMBO.
SOMEBODY BUST A
CAP UP IN THIS CLOWN.
OH, STICK! MAN, YOU
MIGHT HIT ME! DON'T!

[Overton groaning] STAY
COOL THERE, MAN.
HE'S A MARINE CAPTAIN.
TERRENCE SENT IN THE MARINES?
THAT'S AN ACT OF WAR.
HE JUST WANTS HIS BROTHER.
I TOLD YOU! HE CAN'T
HAVE HIM, RAMBO!
WHAT DO YOU THINK WE
OUGHT TO DO TO HIM, CHILI?
I SAY WE JUST KNOCK
HIM OUT THE BOX.
(man) SHAKE HIM UP, CHILI.
GOOD IDEA. LET TEE DO IT.
WHAT'S THE MATTER, TEE?
YOU GETTIN' KIND OF SWEET?
NO, MAN!
THEN WHACK HIM HARD.
'CAUSE HE'S HARD-HEADED.
THE ONLY THING
THAT'D EXPLAIN HIM
BEING STUPID ENOUGH
TO COME UP IN HERE ALONE.
HE'S NOT ALONE!
AH, LOOK AT THIS! RAMBO 2!
MAKE THAT 3.
(Stick) MAN, THIS IS WHACK.
WE'RE NOT EVEN
SAFE IN OUR OWN CRIB.
GET AWAY FROM HIM. MOVE IT.
(Harm) MEG, CHECK
ON THE CAPTAIN.
ARE YOU OK?
I'VE BEEN BETTER.

[Stick laughing]
DAMN! MY BOYS ARE BAD!
TOSS IT HERE, TOP GUN.
YOU CAN'T BANG ALL OF US.
I'M ONLY AIMING AT YOU.
CHILI.
IF HE PUTS A CAP IN ME,
I WANT YOU TO BANG
HIM AND THE PROUD.
BUT DON'T MESS UP THE SNOWFLAKE.
YOU MIGHT WANNA
MELT HER DOWN SLOW.
YOUR MOVE, SUCKER!
(Stick) SO WHAT'S IT
GONNA BE, TOP GUN?
ARE WE GONNA BE SHARIN'
A CRIB DOWN AT THE MISSION
OR ARE YOU DROPPIN' THE BERETTA?
NEITHER.
NEITHER?
CHILI, SMELLS LIKE A DEAL.
WHAT YOU GOT TO OFFER?
THE CRANK WE FOUND ON THE BEACH.
KEEP TALKING.
WE SWAP. THE CRANK FOR
TYLER AND CAPTAIN OVERTON.
NO! NO! NO WAY, SUCKER!
SHUT UP, TEE. YO, STICK!
I SAID SHUT UP! MAN!
YOU GOT IT ALL HERE?
A TACKLE BOX FULL.
FETCH IT ON HOME.
WE'LL SWAP ON THE BEACH.
DO I LOOK LIKE A FOOL?
I'M NOT GOING INTO
THE PROUD'S TERRITORY
AND GET OUR ASSES
KICKED TO THE CURB.
YOU CALL ME WHEN YOU
GOT THE CRANK IN THE HOOD.

HE NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION.
GHOST, SNOWFLAKE,

GO. I'LL BE OK.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM.
(Stick) 2 HOURS, TOP GUN.
AND AFTER THAT...
POP, POP, POP!
(Hanson) STICK'LL NEVER
MAKE THE SWAP, SIR.
ONCE HE HAS THE CRANK,
HE'LL SEND YOU TO MISSION.
I'M CALLING A DUNGAREE LIBERTY,
TAKING CHARLIE
COMPANY IN AFTER HIM.
(Hanson) UH, LIEUTENANT TEESE!
THEY'LL POP THE CAPTAIN AND BE GHOST
BEFORE YOU REACH 38 AND CRENSHAW.
BE GHOST? DISAPPEAR.
TEESE!
WHERE WILL STICK MAKE THE SWAP?
HE HAS 2 OR 3 PLACES
THAT HE LIKES TO MEET, SIR.
GREEN ACRES PARK,
THE PARKING LOT
BEHIND RAY'S RIBS,

WAREHOUSE DOWN ON BUDLONG.
WHAT'S YOUR BEST GUESS?
THE WAREHOUSE.
IT'S ISOLATED AND IMPOSSIBLE
