JAG (1995–2005): Season 1, Episode 18 - Survivors - full transcript
A recently divorced Marine colonel has gotten into trouble with a judge about the custody of his minor son and his visitation with him; in a civilian court Harm represents the colonel, who has taken his son for an unauthorized hunting trip. Somehow in the colonel's mind the son and his memories of his best friend in Vietnam have become intertwined with each other. The sheriff's department conducts a manhunt. Harm becomes one of the hunted, but he brokers a deal, and, with Meg's help, everything works out.
COME ON, GOOCH!
THEY'RE RIGHT ON US, DIGGER!
YOU AIN'T GONNA STOP 'EM.
LET'S GO!
GOOCH!
GOOCH! GOOCH! OH...
GOOCH!
GOOCH! GOOCH!
MY LEGS. I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS.
GOOCH!
DIGGER?
I'M HIT.
HELP ME UP, GOOCH. HELP ME UP.
MY LEGS. CAN'T MOVE!
HELP ME, GOOCH!
YOUR HONOR, MY CLIENT
FEARS FOR HER SON'S LIFE.
I DOUBT THAT, COUNSELOR.
YOU WANNA HEAR IT UNDER OATH?
YOUR HONOR, SURELY A MAN
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LIVES
OF SEVERAL THOUSAND MARINES
CAN BE ENTRUSTED WITH
THE CARE AND WELL-BEING
OF ONE 10-YEAR-OLD BOY,
ESPECIALLY WHEN
THAT BOY'S HIS OWN SON.
EVIDENTLY NOT,
SINCE YOUR CLIENT
APPARENTLY VIOLATED
MY CUSTODY COURT ORDER.
JUDGE, HE WANTED TO SPEND
A FEW EXTRA DAYS WITH HIS SON
BEFORE THE BOY'S MOTHER
MOVED HIM 1000 MILES AWAY.
AND THE BOY'S MOTHER SAID, "NO."
WHICH SHE HAD EVERY
RIGHT TO DO, COUNSELOR.
I'M NOT DEFENDING MY
CLIENTS ACTION, YOUR HONOR.
I 'M ASKING FOR THE COURT'S
UNDERSTANDING, GIVEN THE SITUATION.
DO YOU KNOW THE WHEREABOUTS OF
YOUR CLIENT AND HIS SON, MR. RABB?
NO, YOUR HONOR, I DO NOT.
YOUR HONOR, DO
WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL
THIS BOY'S A VICTIM
ON THE 6:00 NEWS?
THAT'S UNCALLED FOR.
THIS IS NOT A CASE
OF CHILD ABUSE.
THIS IS A BIRD COLONEL IN
THE MARINE CORPS, WHO'S...
WHO IS IN CONTEMPT OF COURT.
COUNSELOR, YOUR CLIENT
LEAVES ME NO CHOICE,
BUT TO ISSUE A
WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST.
THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.
HOW WILL THAT HELP
ME GET TREVOR BACK?
WHEN THE POLICE SPOT YOUR
EX-HUSBAND, THEY ARREST HIM.
AND THEY RETURN YOUR
SON TO YOUR CUSTODY.
BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW
MATT'S GONNA TAKE TO THAT.
WHAT DO YOU CARE? YOU WANT
YOUR SON BACK, DON'T YOU?
YES, BUT ARRESTING MATT
COULD RUIN HIS CAREER.
MRS. ANDERSON, MOST EX-WIVES
WOULD PAY ME DOUBLE FOR THAT.
BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHAT IF I DON'T...
SO, HOW DOES IT FEEL
BEING A DIVORCE LAWYER?
I'D SAY I'D PUT IT ON PAR
WITH BEING A PROCTOLOGIST.
OUCH.
SO FAR DEFENDING
STRIKER'S BUDDY HAS COST ME
$350 FOR A NEW SUIT,
12 DAYS OF LEAVE TIME
AND A BRUISED EGO.
YOU LOST?
JUDGE ISSUED A WARRANT
FOR THE COLONEL'S ARREST.
WOW.
FROM THE LOOK ON HER FACE,
I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED THAT.
MAYBE SHE'S REALIZING
WHAT SHE'S JUST DONE.
IT IS HIS FAULT, HARM. NOT HERS.
OH, SHE COULD HAVE GIVEN HIM
A COUPLE OF LOUSY DAYS, MEG.
MAYBE NOT. SHE IS MOVING.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE HERE
TO LEND MORAL SUPPORT.
YOU'RE STARTING TO SOUND
LIKE OPPOSING COUNSEL.
SORRY.
WHAT'S TREVOR GOING TO THINK WHEN
HE SEES HIS FATHER BEING ARRESTED?
DO YOU WANT YOUR SON
BACK OR NOT, MRS. ANDERSON?
OF COURSE I WANT HIM BACK.
THEN GO HOME AND WAIT FOR
THE POLICE TO DO THEIR JOB.
I DON'T HAVE A HOME.
EVERYTHING I OWN IS
ON A VAN TO WISCONSIN.
THEN I'D MAKE SURE THE POLICE
HAVE SOME WAY TO REACH YOU.
NOW, I HAVE ANOTHER CASE,
BUT EVEN IF I DIDN'T, YOU DON'T
WANT ME HOLDING YOUR HAND
FOR A $150 AN HOUR, HUH?
CHEER UP, MRS.
ANDERSON. YOU WON.
MRS. ANDERSON?
IS THERE ANYTHING
WE CAN DO, MA'AM?
YOU'RE HIS LAWYER.
YES, MA'AM. BUT WE
ARE MILITARY OFFICERS.
WE LOOK OUT FOR OUR OWN.
WHY DID HE FORCE ME TO DO THIS?
WELL, MA'AM, YOU'RE TAKING
HIS BOY AWAY FROM HIM.
I HAD TO. HE DIDN'T
GIVE ME A CHOICE.
YES, MA'AM. I UNDERSTAND.
UM, I JUST WISH YOU COULD
HAVE GIVEN HIM A LITTLE MORE TIME.
ALL MATT EVER WANTS IS TIME.
WHEN HE ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM,
I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T
WANNA BE A MILITARY WIFE.
HE SAID HE HAD 6 YEARS
TO GO UNTIL HE GOT HIS 20.
AND IF I PROMISED TO HANG
AROUND TILL THEN, HE WOULD RETIRE.
WELL, THE 6 BECAME 8
AND THE 8 BECAME 10.
AND HE STILL HASN'T RETIRED.
WHY SHOULD I THINK IT'S GONNA
BE ANY DIFFERENT WITH TREVOR?
YOU SHOULDN'T.
DO YOU HAVE SOMEWHERE TO STAY
UNTIL THE COLONEL BRINGS YOUR SON BACK?
WELL, I HATE SPENDING THE MONEY,
BUT I GUESS I COULD FIND A MOTEL.
MMM, HOW ABOUT THE
HOSTESS HOUSE AT THE BASE?
IT'LL COST A LOT LESS
THAN ANY DECENT MOTEL.
I... I'M NOT A DEPENDENT
ANYMORE, LIEUTENANT.
IT'S MEG.
AND UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES,
THAT'S NOT GONNA BE A PROBLEM.
WHY DON'T I RIDE ALONG
WITH YOU AND HELP SET IT UP?
THANK YOU. HMM.
MRS. ANDERSON, DID
YOU TELL YOUR LAWYER
YOU BELIEVED MATT
MIGHT HURT TREVOR?
NO. NOT EXACTLY.
I TOLD HIM THAT MATT SOUNDED
CONFUSED ABOUT TREVOR,
AND THAT IT FRIGHTENED ME.
HOW WAS HE CONFUSED?
TWICE HE REFERRED
TO TREVOR AS DIGGER.
DIGGER?
WHO'S DIGGER?
WHAT?
YOU SAID, "HOW CAN
YOU DO THAT, DIGGER?"
I DID?
YEAH. YOU DID, DAD.
I MUST HAVE BEEN THINKING
OF AN OLD BUDDY OF MINE
WHO USED TO POUR MUSTARD
ALL OVER HIS FRENCH FRIES, TOO.
NEAT. GOOD TO KNOW
SOMEBODY ELSE DOES IT.
KIDS AT SCHOOL THINK I'M WEIRD.
WE SAID THE SAME
THING ABOUT DIGGER.
CAN I PHONE MOM?
NO, SHE'S PROBABLY BUSY
PACKING FOR THE MOVE.
WE PACKED LAST WEEK.
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO
MOVE SATURDAY, REMEMBER?
RIGHT. SATURDAY.
YOU DIDN'T TELL HER WE WERE
TAKING THE EXTRA DAYS, DID YOU?
YES, I DID.
AND SHE SAID OK?
NOT EXACTLY.
LOOK, TREVOR,
I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'M
GOING TO BE SEEIN' YOU AGAIN.
I KNOW.
AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE TO
SPEND A COUPLE OF DAYS TOGETHER
DOIN' SOMETHING SPECIAL.
SINCE YOU'VE NEVER
BEEN HUNTING...
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
WELL, I WAS ABOUT YOUR AGE WHEN
MY FATHER TOOK ME ON MY FIRST HUNT.
THIS IS TOO COOL. WHAT
ARE WE GONNA HUNT?
BEARS?
DEER.
WHY NOT BEARS?
NOT IN SEASON.
BUT, WHAT IF A BEAR ATTACKS US?
THEN WE'D HAVE
TO SHOOT IT, RIGHT?
IT'D BE LIKE SELF-DEFENSE.
OH. DEFINITELY SELF-DEFENSE.
SO WHERE'S MY GUN?
WELL, YOU'RE STILL A
LITTLE YOUNG FOR THAT.
HOW CAN I HUNT IF I
DON'T HAVE A GUN?
WELL, I HUNT AND
YOU'RE THE BAIT.
YOU SEE, I TIE YOU TO A TREE.
AND WHEN THE DEER'S
COME TO EAT YOU, POW.
DEER DON'T EAT PEOPLE, DAD.
THEY DON'T?
MUST BE THINKING
OF BEAR HUNTING.
DAD.
COLONEL ANDERSON
REQUESTED AN EMERGENCY LEAVE
FOR PERSONAL REASONS, SIR.
DID HE SAY WHAT THOSE
REASONS WERE, CAPTAIN?
NOT TO ME, SIR.
AND YOU HAVE NO
IDEA WHERE HE WENT?
NO, SIR.
ISN'T HE REQUIRED TO
LEAVE A PHONE NUMBER?
YES, SIR. HE LEFT HIS
HOME PHONE NUMBER.
WELL, WE KNOW HE'S
NOT THERE, CAPTAIN.
THAT'S THE NUMBER HE LEFT, SIR.
LOOK, I'M HERE TO HELP
COLONEL ANDERSON, NOT HURT HIM.
BUT I CAN'T DO THAT
IF YOU STONEWALL ME.
I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW
WHERE HE WENT, COMMANDER.
MAYBE HUNTING.
I KNOW HE CHECKED HIS RIFLE OUT
OF THE ARMORY BEFORE HE LEFT.
WHAT KIND OF RIFLE?
BROWNING 308.
SAID IT WAS HIS
FATHER'S DEER RIFLE.
OH, GOD.
I GOT HER INTO THE
HOSTESS HOUSE.
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT HAVE SOME
NEWS SO I BROUGHT HER ALONG.
WHAT IS IT, MRS.
ANDERSON? THE RIFLE?
MATT'S FATHER COMMITTED
SUICIDE WITH THAT RIFLE.
THAT WAS YOUR DADDY'S GUN?
YES.
AND HE GAVE IT TO YOU?
MMM-HMM.
SO, SOMEDAY
YOU'LL GIVE IT TO ME.
SOME DAY.
GET IN THE TRUCK.
GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING.
CAN I SEE YOUR DRIVER'S
LICENSE, PLEASE?
SURE.
NO SCHOOL TODAY, SON?
NO.
NO, WHAT?
NO, SIR.
CAN YOU STEP AROUND TO
THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, SIR?
I WAS IN THE CORPS MYSELF, SIR.
SERVED 3 YEARS IN
THE FIRST DIVISION.
LANCE CORPORAL TERRANCE HODGE.
PLEASED TO MEET YOU, CORPORAL.
YEAH, WELL, IT'S
DEPUTY HODGE NOW, SIR.
LODEN COUNTY
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.
I SEE. ANY PROBLEM?
WELL, THERE SEEMS TO BE A
WARRANT FOR YOUR ARREST, COLONEL.
HANDS ON THE VEHICLE.
DO YOU HAVE TO DO THIS IN FRONT
OF MY SON? LEGS APART! MMM.
PLEASE, YOU DON'T
NEED TO DO THAT!
THIS AIN'T A MARINE UNIFORM
I'M WEARING, COLONEL.
I'M THE ONE GIVING ORDERS HERE.
NO! LET MY DAD GO!
TREVOR, STAY IN THE VAN!
GOOCH, I'M HIT!
HELP ME UP. HELP ME UP, GOOCH.
HELP ME UP! GOOCH, HELP ME!
I GOT YOU, DIGGER.
I GOT YOU. I GOT YOU.
ARE YOU SURE?
THANK YOU.
A LODEN COUNTY DEPUTY SHERIFF STOPPED
THE COLONEL OUTSIDE OF RIDGECREST,
70 MILES EAST OF BAKERSFIELD.
HE TRIED TO BRING
HIM INTO CUSTODY
AND HE SAYS HE RESISTED.
OH, MATT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
THE DEPUTY WAS INJURED.
THE COLONEL GOT AWAY.
WHAT ABOUT TREVOR?
HE MUST STILL BE WITH HIM.
DID THEY SAY WHICH
WAY HE WAS HEADED?
NO, SIR, BUT IT'S
ESCALATING INTO A MAN HUNT.
WE'D BETTER HEAD UP THERE.
I'M GOING WITH YOU.
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, MRS. ANDERSON,
YOU HAD THE ARREST WARRANT ISSUED.
YOUR PRESENCE THERE MAY
AGGRAVATE THE SITUATION.
I KNOW MATT BETTER THAN ANYONE.
AND IF MY SON IS IN
DANGER, I SHOULD BE THERE.
THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD
BUMP THERE, MARINE.
BUT I THINK YOU'LL LIVE.
WE'RE IN TROUBLE, AREN'T WE?
WELL, ONE OF US IS.
YOUR MOTHER
CALLED IN THE CAVALRY.
ARE THEY GONNA ARREST YOU?
NO. NOBODY'S GONNA
ARREST ANYBODY.
I DON'T WANT YOU
TO GO TO JAIL, DAD.
I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL.
DON'T WORRY. I'LL
GET US OUT OF THIS.
I DON'T KNOW, GOOCH.
THEY'RE ALL AROUND US.
WE GOT 'EM WHERE
WE WANT 'EM, BUDDY.
HOW BAD IS IT?
JUST BAD ENOUGH
FOR A TICKET HOME.
I'M SCARED, GOOCH.
DON'T LEAVE ME.
HEY, HAVE I EVER LEFT YOU?
DEER HUNTING IN THE SNOW.
I DAMN NEAR FROZE TO DEATH
BEFORE I FOUND THE CABIN.
YEAH, WELL, NOT TODAY.
WHERE I GO, YOU GO.
I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS.
HEY, IT'S GONNA BE ALL
RIGHT. I GOT YOU. IT'S OK.
AM I GONNA DIE? NO, YOU'RE NOT!
NOW, YOU LOOK AT ME!
NOW, YOU'RE NOT GONNA DIE!
I'M GONNA GET YOU OUT OF HERE,
OK? I'M GONNA GET YOU HOME.
WE'LL BE DEER HUNTING
THIS FALL, I PROMISE.
PROMISE WHAT, DAD?
UH,
THAT WE'RE, UH, GOING
HUNTING LIKE I PROMISED.
COME ON. LET'S GO.
I'M STANDING IN FRONT
OF A GAS STATION
OFF THE PINE CREST HIGHWAY
WHERE AN OFFICER OF THE LODEN
COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
HAS JUST BECOME AN
APPARENT VICTIM OF AN ATTACK.
THE ALLEGED ATTACKER
HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS...
SIR, WHERE CAN I FIND
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY HODGE?
HODGE IS WITH THE
PARAMEDICS, SIR.
I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR
THAT. IT'LL HAVE TO WAIT.
DEPUTY HODGE?
YOU MUST BE DAMAGE CONTROL.
SOMETHING LIKE
THAT. WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT HAPPENED?
HE RESISTED ARREST,
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
IF HE DIDN'T USE HIS SON AS A
SHIELD, HE'D BE IN CUSTODY RIGHT NOW.
WHAT?
THE COLONEL WOULD NEVER
USE HIS SON AS A SHIELD.
YOU WEREN'T THERE,
COMMANDER. I WAS.
THE COLONEL TRIED TO KILL ME.
IS THAT HOW YOU GOT THIS?
HIT ME WITH HIS RIFLE.
IF HE WAS TRYING TO KILL
YOU, HE WOULD HAVE SHOT YOU.
I GOT A FUGITIVE TO CATCH.
I THINK HIS EGO HURTS
MORE THAN HIS HEAD.
MRS. ANDERSON, I DON'T
KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED,
BUT THAT DEPUTY'S
ONLY TELLIN' HALF OF IT.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
THEY CATCH UP WITH MATT?
WELL, LET'S HOPE WE
FIND HIM BEFORE THEY DO.
IF MATT WANTS TO COMMIT SUICIDE,
HE MIGHT DECIDE TO FIGHT.
WHO KNOWS WHAT
COULD HAPPEN TO TREVOR?
COLONEL ANDERSON WAS BEING
QUESTIONED, BECAME VIOLENT,
AND ATTACKED THE
OFFICER WITH HIS RIFLE,
THEN ESCAPED IN A RED 4x4.
THE SUSPECT IS CONSIDERED
ARMED AND DANGEROUS.
POLICE ARE ASKING ANYONE
WITH ANY INFORMATION
TO CONTACT THEM
IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS...
CAN I CALL MOM?
NOT RIGHT NOW.
SHE MIGHT BE WORRIED ABOUT US.
ARE YOU OK, GOOCH?
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
I SAID, "ARE YOU OK?"
NO, NO, NO. A NAME.
YOU CALLED ME A NAME.
A NAME THAT ONLY
DIGGER CALLED ME.
THE FRIEND WHO PUT
MUSTARD ON HIS FRENCH FRIES?
THAT'S RIGHT. MY FRIEND WHO
PUT MUSTARD ON HIS FRIES, LIKE YOU.
WHAT MADE YOU CALL ME
GOOCH? WHAT, DAMN IT?
WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING?
I SAW THE DEPUTY'S CAR DRIVE UP.
AND IT LOOKED LIKE
A ROUTINE CHECK
UNTIL HE SLAMMED THAT
GUY UP AGAINST THE BLAZER.
THE GUY DIDN'T ASSAULT HIM?
YEAH. AFTER THE DEPUTY
BACKHANDED HIS KID.
THEN THE GUY LOST IT. HE DROPPED
THAT COP LIKE A BOX OF ROCKS.
I JUST STAYED OUT OF THE WAY, MAN. I
MEAN, THAT GUY LOOKED DANGEROUS,
YOU KNOW, LIKE SOME, UH, TRAINED
KILLER KIND OF GONE, YOU KNOW.
YOU SEE WHAT
DIRECTION THEY HEADED?
OH, YEAH. THEY WENT NORTH BOUND.
THANKS, PETE. UH, NAME'S RANDY.
OH, HEY, THESE ARE
JUST, UH, PETE'S OVERALLS.
LISTEN UP. DON'T I, UH, GET SOME KIND
OF REWARD FOR THIS, OR SOMETHING?
JUST ASKING.
I KNEW THAT DEPUTY
WASN'T TELLING THE TRUTH.
THE COLONEL DID
ASSAULT HIM, SIR.
SOUNDS TO ME LIKE HE WAS
JUST PROTECTING HIS SON.
HARM, HE'S UNSTABLE AT
BEST. HE MAY EVEN BE SUICIDAL.
EITHER WAY, HIS SON'S IN DANGER.
ESPECIALLY WITH
WYATT EARP ON HIS TRAIL.
RABB.
I DIDN'T WANNA HURT
ANYBODY, COMMANDER.
THEY HAVE THIS ALL WRONG.
WHERE ARE YOU, COLONEL?
I'D SAY SOMEWHERE
IN THE MIDDLE OF
INDIAN TERRITORY.
SIR?
THAT'S WHAT WE USED
TO CALL THE BUSH IN NAM.
LOOKS LIKE I GOT MYSELF
INTO A REAL MESS, COMMANDER.
YES, SIR. HOW'S TREVOR?
UH, HE'S, UH, A LITTLE WORN
OUT BUT HE'S ALL RIGHT.
WELL, YOU HAVE LEFT ONE VERY
ANGRY SHERIFF'S DEPUTY HERE, SIR.
HE'S GOT A POSSE
OUT LOOKING FOR YOU.
I FIGURED THAT.
I BLEW IT, COMMANDER.
LOST CONTROL.
THEY SAY STRESS KILLS.
BUT, NOBODY TALKS
ABOUT IT MAKIN' YOU CRAZY.
UH, IS JOYCE THERE?
YES, SIR.
LOOK, TELL HER THAT
TREVOR'S ALL RIGHT.
I... I'D DO IT MYSELF BUT I DON'T
HAVE THE ENERGY TO FIGHT WITH HER.
COLONEL, YOU NEED TO
TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE.
LOOK, YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO TRUST ME, SIR.
I MAY BE YOUR ONLY
SAFE WAY OUT OF THIS.
UH-HUH. I'LL TURN MYSELF
IN TO YOU, COMMANDER.
BUT I DON'T WANNA BE
ARRESTED IN FRONT OF MY SON.
I UNDERSTAND, SIR. BUT
THAT MIGHT BE DIFFICULT.
THE MINUTE I LEAVE HERE,
THESE DEPUTIES WILL FOLLOW.
EVEN IF I LOSE THEM, THEY HAVE
ROAD BLOCKS FOR A 50 MILE RADIUS.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT.
AS SOON AS I'M GONE, LET MRS.
ANDERSON KNOW TREVOR'S SAFE.
HARM, YOU'VE GONE FAR BEYOND
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES TO YOUR CLIENT.
THE POLICE ARE INVOLVED. I THINK
YOU SHOULD LET THEM HANDLE IT.
HANDLE IT? MEG, IT'S
GONNA BE A LYNCHING.
YEAH, WITH YOU IN THE MIDDLE.
MEG, THE COLONEL
WANTS TO SURRENDER.
HE JUST DOESN'T WANNA BE
ARRESTED IN FRONT OF HIS SON.
YOU CAN UNDERSTAND
THAT, CAN'T YOU?
YEAH, I UNDERSTAND IT. BUT
I'M NOT SO SURE THAT THEY WILL.
EXACTLY. THE COLONEL'S ON EDGE AND
THESE GUYS MIGHT BE TRIGGER HAPPY.
BELIEVE ME, I WOULDN'T
BE GETTING IN THE MIDDLE
IF I DIDN'T THINK IT
WAS THE BEST WAY OUT.
THEN YOU SHOULDN'T
GO ALONE, SIR.
NO, NO, NO, NO.
SORRY, LIEUTENANT.
YOU SAID YOURSELF THE
COLONEL WAS ON EDGE.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT STATE
OF MIND YOU'RE GONNA FIND HIM IN.
MEG, I'M ALREADY
STICKING MY NECK OUT.
THERE'S NO REASON FOR BOTH OUR
HEADS TO BE ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK.
YOU MAY HAVE TAKEN THIS CASE PRO
BONO, SIR, BUT I'M STILL YOUR PARTNER.
I'M JUST TRYING TO...
WHAT ARE WE GONNA
TELL MRS. ANDERSON?
I'LL TELL HER TO WAIT IN THE CAR
AND PROMISE TO PHONE
WHEN WE FIND TREVOR.
OK.
GIVE ME SOME COFFEE.
WHAT THE HELL?
HEY, WHAT DO YOU
THINK YOU'RE DOING?
COME ON!
WELCOME ABOARD, SIR.
DIGGER, THERE'S
CHOPPERS IN THE AREA.
MUST BE A NIGHT MISSION.
I'LL HAVE TO LEAVE YOU
HERE TILL I FIND THEIR L.Z.
I'LL BE BACK. I PROMISE.
YOU'VE GOT TO STAY AWAKE.
DO YOU HEAR ME? YOU STAY AWAKE.
I PROMISE I'LL BE BACK, YOU
PROMISE TO STAY AWAKE, OK?
GOOD. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
COLONEL?
IS THAT YOU, GOOCH?
DIGGER?
NO.
DON'T SHOOT!
WHAT'S HE SAYING?
STOP. DON'T WAKE HIM.
HE'S HAVING A NIGHTMARE.
TREVOR?
TREVOR, WAKE UP. MOM?
NO, MY NAME'S MEG.
YOUR MOM ASKED ME
TO CHECK UP ON YOU.
ARE YOU OK?
YEAH.
COLONEL, CAN I
SEE YOUR RIFLE, SIR?
A BROWNING, ISN'T IT?
YOU HEARD HIM.
YES, SIR. HE WAS
HAVIN' A NIGHTMARE.
HE WAS SPEAKING VIETNAMESE.
WAS HE, SIR?
IT SOUNDED LIKE HE WAS
MUMBLING SOMETHING IN HIS SLEEP.
WHAT'S THE CALIBER?
308.
IT'S A NICE RIFLE.
GOOD AND FLAT SHOOTING.
IT'S HIS DADDY'S. SOMEDAY
IT'S GONNA BE MINE.
SOMEDAY.
MEG, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE
TREVOR DOWN TO THE COFFEE SHOP?
NO.
COLONEL, YOU AND I HAVE
MILITARY MATTERS TO DISCUSS, SIR.
BESIDES, TREVOR'S A GROWING BOY.
I'M SURE HE'S STARVING
FOR BREAKFAST.
I AM KINDA HUNGRY, DAD.
CAN I BRING YOU BACK SOMETHING?
COFFEE. BLACK. COLONEL?
UH, SAME.
BYE, DAD.
WHY DID MOM SEND
YOU, LIEUTENANT?
WHY DIDN'T SHE COME?
YOU KNOW MY RANK?
I'M A MILITARY BRAT.
SO WAS I.
REALLY? MMM-HMM.
DID YOUR FOLKS GET A DIVORCE?
NO. MY FATHER DIED IN VIETNAM.
THAT'S WORSE THAN A DIVORCE.
YEAH, IT IS.
MY DAD WAS IN VIETNAM.
I KNOW.
SOMETIMES HE ACTS
LIKE HE'S STILL THERE.
WHEN HE CALLS YOU DIGGER?
YEAH! HOW'D YOU KNOW?
YOUR MOM TOLD ME.
SHE'S WAITING FOR
YOU TO CALL HER.
WHERE? WAITIN' IN OUR CAR.
DO YOU WANT ME TO DIAL?
I CAN DO IT. OK.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CHANGE, MA'AM?
MMM-HMM.
I CAN'T TURN MYSELF IN. NOT NOW.
NOW THAT I KNOW IT'S REAL.
COLONEL? YOU HEARD HIM!
SIR, HE WAS HAVING A NIGHTMARE.
TO ME IT SOUNDED
LIKE, "DON'T LIE".
TO YOU, "DUNG LAI".
HE PUTS MUSTARD
ON HIS FRENCH FRIES.
WHAT?
TREVOR.
HE PUTS MUSTARD ON HIS
FRENCH FRIES JUST LIKE DIGGER DID.
SIR, HALF OF FRANCE PUTS
MUSTARD ON THEIR FRENCH FRIES.
DOES THAT MAKE TREVOR FRENCH?
HE CALLED ME GOOCH. THAT
WAS MY NICKNAME IN NAM.
NOW HOW THE HELL
DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT?
WELL, MAYBE YOU TOLD
HIM OR HIS MOTHER...
NO! NO!
JOYCE DOESN'T KNOW THEY CALLED ME
GOOCH. I NEVER, NEVER TOLD HER THAT!
SHE KNEW YOUR BEST
FRIEND IN NAM WAS DIGGER.
WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT DIGGER.
BUT I NEVER TOLD HER THAT
MY NICKNAME WAS GOOCH.
COLONEL,
DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE YOUR
SON IS DIGGER REINCARNATED?
SIR, YOU'VE JUST GONE
THROUGH A DIVORCE.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA SEE
YOUR SON FOR A LONG TIME.
ISN'T IT POSSIBLE THAT THOSE
LOSSES HAVE TRIGGERED THE MEMORY
OF LOSING YOUR BEST
FRIEND IN VIETNAM?
DIGGER AND I MADE A PACT IN NAM.
IF ONE OF US BOUGHT IT, THE
OTHER WOULD BRING HIM HOME.
BURY HIM AT THE HUNTING CABIN.
I DIDN'T KEEP THAT PROMISE.
I... I THINK DIGGER'S
GIVING ME A 2ND CHANCE.
SIR, TREVOR IS NOT DEAD.
YOU CAN'T BURY HIM
AT YOUR HUNTING CABIN.
I KNOW THAT. MY GOD,
COMMANDER, I'M NOT INSANE!
BUT I'VE SEEN THINGS
HAPPEN IN THAT WAR.
LAWS OF PHYSICS AND
NATURE GOT ALL TWISTED UP.
WAY BEYOND LOGIC
AND COMMON SENSE.
TREVOR AND DIGGER ARE
INTERTWINED SOMEHOW.
ONLY IN YOUR MIND, COLONEL.
EVEN IF YOU'RE RIGHT,
IF IT'S ONLY IN MY MIND,
WON'T GETTING TREVOR TO THAT
CABIN PUT AN END TO IT FOR ME?
♪
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO
WHEN A BEAR ATTACKS YOU?
CLIMB A TREE?
NOPE.
GET IN YOUR CAR AND DRIVE?
PLAY DEAD.
A BEAR WON'T HURT YOU
IF HE THINKS YOU'RE DEAD.
I THINK YOU'D HAVE A BETTER
CHANCE IN MY MUSTANG.
YEAH. OR MY TREE.
TOM, YOU STUCK YOUR
NECK OUT, I WON'T FORGET IT.
ANYTIME, COLONEL.
YEAH, WELL, WE'LL BE
TAKING OFF SHORTLY.
I'LL GO FIRE HER UP, SIR.
YEAH. THANKS.
IS TREVOR BEHAVIN'
HIMSELF, LIEUTENANT?
YES, SIR. HE'S TEACHING
ME HOW TO HUNT BEARS.
AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO PLAY
DEAD IF A BEAR ATTACKS YOU, DAD?
ONLY IF YOU'RE NOT
FASTER THAN HIM.
NOBODY'S FASTER THAN A BEAR.
NOT THE BEAR. THE GUY
YOU'RE HUNTING WITH.
HE'S THE ONE YOU'VE
GOT TO OUTRUN.
MEG, YOU FORGOT OUR COFFEE.
OH, SORRY. IT WAS
BLACK, WASN'T IT, SIR?
PLEASE.
2 COFFEES, PLEASE. OK.
TALK ABOUT YOUR MOOD CHANGES.
HOW'D YOU CALM HIM DOWN?
I AGREED TO GO ALONG WITH HIM.
TO TURN HIMSELF IN?
TO A HUNTING CABIN
OUTSIDE OF BISHOP.
WHAT?
25 YEARS AGO, THE COLONEL
MADE A PACT IN VIETNAM.
IF HE OR HIS BUDDY WERE KILLED,
THE SURVIVOR WOULD BURY THE
OTHER ONE AT THEIR HUNTING CABIN.
THE COLONEL HAD TO LEAVE
HIS BUDDY IN THE JUNGLE.
BUDDY NAMED DIGGER?
YEAH.
AND HE THINKS HIS SON IS DIGGER?
IN A WAY.
AND YOU BELIEVE HIM?
HERE YOU GO.
THANKS.
NO, I DON'T BELIEVE
TREVOR'S DIGGER,
BUT THE COLONEL DOES,
AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.
ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU'RE
AIDING AND ABETTING A FUGITIVE.
MEG, I PROMISED
STRIKER I WOULD HELP.
YEAH, TO HANDLE HIS DIVORCE.
NOT TO RUN FROM THE LAW.
HIS CAREER IS OVER.
WE BOTH KNOW THAT.
I CAN'T LET HIM THROW
IT AWAY FOR NOTHING.
AND THAT'S WHAT IT'LL BE IF HE
DOESN'T MAKE IT TO THAT CABIN.
HARM, YOU COULD BE
COURT-MARTIALED FOR THIS.
I'M WILLING TO RISK IT.
OK. FORGET YOU.
WHAT ABOUT TREVOR?
YOU'RE ENDANGERING HIM.
NO. THE COLONEL WOULD NEVER HURT
TREVOR. BESIDES, I'VE GOT HIS AMMO.
YOU DON'T HAVE THE SHERIFF'S.
MEG, THIS CAN ALL BE
OVER IN LESS THAN AN HOUR.
WE FLY THE COLONEL
AND HIS SON TO THE CABIN.
HE GETS CLOSURE. WE
FLY BACK TO THE BASE.
HE SURRENDERS
HIMSELF TO THE COURT.
THE CLOSEST DEPUTY HODGE
WILL EVER COME TO SEEING US
IS ON THE 11:00 NEWS.
WANNA BET?
HOW DID THEY FIND US?
TREVOR CALLED HIS MOM.
HE MUST HAVE TOLD HER.
SHE TOLD THEM.
GO! GO! GOT IT! GOT IT!
BARNES, DON'T LET HIM LEAVE.
WILKES, AROUND BACK.
HEY, THERE'S MOM.
COME ON, DIGGER.
HARM.
MEG, I'VE GOTTA HELP THEM.
NO, MY SON'S IN THERE.
WE'RE NOT GONNA HURT
YOUR SON, MRS. ANDERSON.
WHAT ROOM ARE THEY IN?
I SAID, WHAT ROOM ARE THEY IN?
3.
HE SAID THEY'RE
IN ROOM NUMBER 3.
3.
FOR GOD'S SAKES, LET ME ASK MATT TO SEND
HIM OUT BEFORE YOU GO IN THERE WITH GUNS.
PLEASE!
ALL RIGHT, MRS. ANDERSON.
YOU GOT ONE MINUTE.
MATT, PLEASE SEND TREVOR
OUT. I'LL TALK TO THE JUDGE.
JUST LET OUR SON COME OUT.
TIME'S UP. MATT! PLEASE!
GET HER OUT OF
HERE! NO, MATT! PLEASE!
STAY BACK.
MY SON! THEY'RE NOT IN THERE.
THEY'RE HEADED
FOR A HUNTING CABIN.
OH. OH, HE WAS
ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT
THE GOOD TIMES HE AND
DIGGER HAD AT SOME CABIN.
BUT I... I DON'T
KNOW WHERE IT IS.
DOES THE COLONEL HAVE ANY
RELATIVES IN BISHOP WHO'D KNOW?
NO. THEY'VE ALL MOVED AWAY.
OH, BUT I THINK THAT DIGGER'S
MOTHER STILL LIVES THERE.
HE'S SOMEPLACE
CLOSE. HE LEFT HIS RIFLE.
GOT IT!
HE'S STILL IN THE AREA!
MUST BE!
CHECK ALL THE ROOMS.
BARNES, CHECK THE COFFEE SHOP!
ALL RIGHT.
HEY! THEY'RE OVER HERE!
LET'S GO!
OVER THERE!
WILKES, TAKE THE HIGHWAY TO THE
NEXT FARM ROAD AND CUT 'EM OFF!
GIVE IT UP, COLONEL!
THERE'S NO WAY OUT!
DON'T MAKE ME COME IN AFTER YOU.
BASE! DEPUTY...
BASE. DEPUTY HODGE.
CALL THE AIRFIELD AT BISHOP.
SEE IF THEY CAN TRACK
A HELICOPTER ON RADAR
THAT JUST LIFTED OFF A MILE
SOUTH OF BIG PINE OFF 168.
HEADING NORTHWEST.
MILE SOUTH OF BIG PINE AND 168.
HEADING NORTHWEST. ROGER.
AFTER YOU DO THAT,
GET ME JUDGE HOLLICK.
I NEED A WARRANT FOR THE ARREST
OF A NAVY LIEUTENANT COMMANDER.
FIRST A MARINE COLONEL.
NOW A NAVY LIEUTENANT COMMANDER.
WHAT ARE YOU DOIN',
HODGE? GOIN' TO WAR?
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THE CABIN'S SOMEWHERE ON
THIS SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
EASY TO FIND FROM THE AIR.
BUT I CAN'T EVEN SPOT THE
LOGGING ROAD THAT GOES TO IT.
IT'S BEEN 25 YEARS, COLONEL.
THEY'RE PROBABLY BOTH
HIDDEN BY TREE GROWTH.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
TOM, FIND THE NEAREST L.Z.
WE'LL HIKE IN FROM THERE.
YES, SIR.
THERE'S ONE AT 2:00.
GOT IT.
WAIT! COME BACK!
COME BACK!
WHERE THE HELL
DID YOU COME FROM?
GOT LEFT BEHIND YESTERDAY.
I GOT A BUDDY WOUNDED BAD
ABOUT 500 METERS BACK THERE.
CHARLIE'S COMING THAT WAY.
I CAN'T LEAVE HIM.
LOOK, OUR SLICK IS
LESS THAN 5 MINUTES OUT.
WHEN IT GETS HERE,
WE'VE GOT TO GO.
WE'LL BE HERE.
SAUNDERS! GO WITH HIM. YES, SIR!
HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A WEAPON.
WE NEVER SAW MATT AFTER
HE GOT BACK FROM VIETNAM.
AND WHEN HIS SISTER
MOVED TO SAN FRANCISCO,
WE JUST LOST TRACK
OF HIM COMPLETELY.
HOW IS HE?
UM, HE'S STILL IN THE
MARINE CORPS, MA'AM.
HE'S A COLONEL NOW.
A COLONEL? OH, GOOD FOR HIM.
DID HE TELL YOU
ANYTHING ABOUT DIGGER?
ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT
THEY WERE GOOD FRIENDS.
GOOD FRIENDS? MORE
LIKE SIAMESE TWINS.
THEY WERE BORN ON THE
SAME DAY. DID YOU KNOW THAT?
NO. I DIDN'T.
OH, THEY SIGNED UP TOGETHER
ON THEIR 18TH BIRTHDAY.
DIGGER WANTED TO GO NAVY,
BUT MATT TALKED
HIM INTO THE MARINES.
I NEVER HELD IT AGAINST
HIM, BUT I'M SURE MATT DID.
HE ALWAYS FELT SO
RESPONSIBLE FOR DIGGER.
ONCE DIGGER GOT
LOST DEER HUNTING
AND NEARLY FROZE TRYING TO
FIND HIS WAY BACK TO THE CABIN.
MATT SAID THAT IT WAS HIS FAULT.
NOW, I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY.
THEY BOTH KNEW THAT MOUNTAIN
LIKE THE PALM OF THEIR HAND.
MRS. COLE, DO YOU
STILL HAVE THAT CABIN?
OH.
I NEVER HAD THE
HEART TO SELL IT.
OF COURSE, I COULD
HAVE USED THE MONEY, BUT,
I DON'T KNOW, SOMEHOW,
DIGGER JUST LOVED IT, SO...
ANYTHING LOOK FAMILIAR, COLONEL?
EVERYTHING. THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
A TREE IS A TREE IS A TREE.
BUT I'M SURE I'LL
RECOGNIZE SOMETHING
WHEN I GET TO THE LOGGING ROAD.
DON'T LEAVE ME AGAIN.
WHAT?
I SAID, "DON'T LEAVE ME."
AGAIN! YOU SAID,
"DON'T LEAVE ME AGAIN!"
DIDN'T HE?
TAKE IT EASY, COLONEL.
YOU'RE FRIGHTENING HIM.
SORRY, TREVOR.
COME ON. THE ROAD
CAN'T BE MUCH FURTHER.
LODEN COUNTY MOBILE. C.H.P. AIR.
YOU'RE ALMOST ON HIM.
YOU SHOULD HAVE HIM IN SIGHT.
WHERE ARE THEY?
WHERE'S WHO, SIR?
I DON'T HAVE TIME
FOR GAMES, CAPTAIN.
TELL ME WHERE THEY
WENT RIGHT NOW,
OR YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
BRADLEY. THOMAS. CAPTAIN.
UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS.
855368400.
OCTOBER 1, 1961.
THIS IS IT. THIS IS THE
LOGGING ROAD TO THE CABIN.
MY GOD, IT'S ALL GROWN OVER.
WHICH WAY NOW, COLONEL?
I THINK, UH,
THIS WAY.
TREVOR!
COMING, SIR.
KLINGONS! STAND
BY TO BEAM ME UP!
DAD?
DAD!
TREVOR?
TREVOR!
DIGGER!
DIGGER, WHERE ARE YOU?
WHERE IS HE?
I LEFT HIM RIGHT
HERE, MAN! RIGHT HERE!
OH, MAN.
LOOK AT ALL THE BLOOD,
MAN. CHARLIE'S GOT HIM.
I GOT TO FIND HIM.
HEY, MAN. THAT... THAT'S OUR
RIDE! I CAN'T LEAVE DIGGER.
LISTEN, THERE'S NOTHING
WE CAN DO. HE'S DEAD!
NO! I GOT TO GET HIM HOME!
DIGGER! DIGGER!
TREVOR! TREVOR!
UP HERE!
THERE'S A BEAR DOWN THERE.
I KNOW I'M SUPPOSED
TO PLAY DEAD,
BUT THE TREE LOOKED
LIKE A BETTER IDEA.
WELL, I TOLD YOU
YOU'D MAKE GOOD BAIT.
COME ON DOWN.
HEY, THERE'S A CABIN!
FOR A MARINE, HE SURE
LEAVES A HOT TRAIL.
IT'S THIS WAY!
THERE IT IS.
THAT'S IT, ISN'T IT?
THAT'S IT.
FREEZE!
DAD?
TAKE IT EASY, COLONEL.
I'VE GOT TO GET DIGGER HOME.
ON THE GROUND! NOW!
WE'RE UNARMED!
I SAID ON THE GROUND!
LOOK, THIS IS HARD TO EXPLAIN.
YOU SEE THAT CABIN THERE?
THE COLONEL'S BEEN TRYING TO
GET TO THAT CABIN FOR 25 YEARS.
EVER SINCE HE LEFT HIS BEST
FRIEND BEHIND IN VIETNAM.
NOW THAT WE'RE THIS CLOSE,
I CAN'T LET YOU STOP HIM.
I'LL SHOOT YOU, COMMANDER.
GET GOING, SIR.
YOU DO WHAT YOU
HAVE TO DO, DEPUTY.
MAYBE WE OUGHT TO LET HIM
WALK TO THE CABIN, HODGE.
NO. STOP OR I'LL FIRE!
FOR GOD'S SAKE, HODGE.
THERE'S A KID WITH HIM!
WE MADE IT.
YEAH. WE DID.
THERE THEY ARE. THERE'S TREVOR.
TREVOR?
MOM.
OH, GOD.
HOW'D YOU GET HERE?
ARE YOU OK?
MOM.
HI, MATT.
HI.
YOU CAN KISS YOUR CAREER
GOODBYE, COMMANDER.
HE WAS ONLY ASSISTING
HIS CLIENT TO SURRENDER.
LIKE HELL.
HE WAS AIDING AND
ABETTING A FUGITIVE.
THAT KID AT THE GAS STATION
SAID THAT YOU HIT TREVOR.
YOU THINK A JUDGE IS GONNA
BELIEVE A KID PUMPING GAS
OR A DEPUTY SHERIFF?
I'D BELIEVE THE VIDEO.
VIDEO? WHAT VIDEO?
OH, THE KIND THAT KEEP
TURNING UP ON THE 6:00 NEWS.
THERE'S NO VIDEO.
THAT GAS STATION HAD
A SURVEILLANCE CAMERA.
YOU DID GET IT, DIDN'T
YOU, LIEUTENANT?
YES, SIR.
YEAH, I'LL TELL
YOU WHAT, DEPUTY.
IF YOU ALLOW COLONEL
ANDERSON TO RETURN WITH US
AND SURRENDER TO THE COURT,
I'LL SEE THAT LIEUTENANT
AUSTIN LOSES THAT TAPE.
I DON'T THINK I
SHOULD DO THAT, SIR.
THAT TAPE IS EVIDENCE
FOR WHEN THE COLONEL CHARGES
DEPUTY HODGE WITH POLICE BRUTALITY.
WELL, I'M SURE IF DEPUTY HODGE
SCRATCHES THE COLONEL'S BACK,
THE COLONEL WILL
SCRATCH THE DEPUTY'S.
ARE WE GOIN'?
WHAT THE HELL DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
GOOD BLUFF, SIR.
WHAT? YOU DIDN'T GET THE VIDEO?
HERE YOU GO.
OH, THANKS.
HARM, DO YOU THINK
THERE'S ANY CHANCE
THAT WHAT THE COLONEL
BELIEVES IS TRUE?
WHAT? REINCARNATION?
I DON'T THINK SO, MEG.
I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.
AT LEAST IT'S TRUE FOR HIM.
THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.
THEY'RE RIGHT ON US, DIGGER!
YOU AIN'T GONNA STOP 'EM.
LET'S GO!
GOOCH!
GOOCH! GOOCH! OH...
GOOCH!
GOOCH! GOOCH!
MY LEGS. I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS.
GOOCH!
DIGGER?
I'M HIT.
HELP ME UP, GOOCH. HELP ME UP.
MY LEGS. CAN'T MOVE!
HELP ME, GOOCH!
YOUR HONOR, MY CLIENT
FEARS FOR HER SON'S LIFE.
I DOUBT THAT, COUNSELOR.
YOU WANNA HEAR IT UNDER OATH?
YOUR HONOR, SURELY A MAN
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LIVES
OF SEVERAL THOUSAND MARINES
CAN BE ENTRUSTED WITH
THE CARE AND WELL-BEING
OF ONE 10-YEAR-OLD BOY,
ESPECIALLY WHEN
THAT BOY'S HIS OWN SON.
EVIDENTLY NOT,
SINCE YOUR CLIENT
APPARENTLY VIOLATED
MY CUSTODY COURT ORDER.
JUDGE, HE WANTED TO SPEND
A FEW EXTRA DAYS WITH HIS SON
BEFORE THE BOY'S MOTHER
MOVED HIM 1000 MILES AWAY.
AND THE BOY'S MOTHER SAID, "NO."
WHICH SHE HAD EVERY
RIGHT TO DO, COUNSELOR.
I'M NOT DEFENDING MY
CLIENTS ACTION, YOUR HONOR.
I 'M ASKING FOR THE COURT'S
UNDERSTANDING, GIVEN THE SITUATION.
DO YOU KNOW THE WHEREABOUTS OF
YOUR CLIENT AND HIS SON, MR. RABB?
NO, YOUR HONOR, I DO NOT.
YOUR HONOR, DO
WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL
THIS BOY'S A VICTIM
ON THE 6:00 NEWS?
THAT'S UNCALLED FOR.
THIS IS NOT A CASE
OF CHILD ABUSE.
THIS IS A BIRD COLONEL IN
THE MARINE CORPS, WHO'S...
WHO IS IN CONTEMPT OF COURT.
COUNSELOR, YOUR CLIENT
LEAVES ME NO CHOICE,
BUT TO ISSUE A
WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST.
THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.
HOW WILL THAT HELP
ME GET TREVOR BACK?
WHEN THE POLICE SPOT YOUR
EX-HUSBAND, THEY ARREST HIM.
AND THEY RETURN YOUR
SON TO YOUR CUSTODY.
BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW
MATT'S GONNA TAKE TO THAT.
WHAT DO YOU CARE? YOU WANT
YOUR SON BACK, DON'T YOU?
YES, BUT ARRESTING MATT
COULD RUIN HIS CAREER.
MRS. ANDERSON, MOST EX-WIVES
WOULD PAY ME DOUBLE FOR THAT.
BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHAT IF I DON'T...
SO, HOW DOES IT FEEL
BEING A DIVORCE LAWYER?
I'D SAY I'D PUT IT ON PAR
WITH BEING A PROCTOLOGIST.
OUCH.
SO FAR DEFENDING
STRIKER'S BUDDY HAS COST ME
$350 FOR A NEW SUIT,
12 DAYS OF LEAVE TIME
AND A BRUISED EGO.
YOU LOST?
JUDGE ISSUED A WARRANT
FOR THE COLONEL'S ARREST.
WOW.
FROM THE LOOK ON HER FACE,
I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED THAT.
MAYBE SHE'S REALIZING
WHAT SHE'S JUST DONE.
IT IS HIS FAULT, HARM. NOT HERS.
OH, SHE COULD HAVE GIVEN HIM
A COUPLE OF LOUSY DAYS, MEG.
MAYBE NOT. SHE IS MOVING.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE HERE
TO LEND MORAL SUPPORT.
YOU'RE STARTING TO SOUND
LIKE OPPOSING COUNSEL.
SORRY.
WHAT'S TREVOR GOING TO THINK WHEN
HE SEES HIS FATHER BEING ARRESTED?
DO YOU WANT YOUR SON
BACK OR NOT, MRS. ANDERSON?
OF COURSE I WANT HIM BACK.
THEN GO HOME AND WAIT FOR
THE POLICE TO DO THEIR JOB.
I DON'T HAVE A HOME.
EVERYTHING I OWN IS
ON A VAN TO WISCONSIN.
THEN I'D MAKE SURE THE POLICE
HAVE SOME WAY TO REACH YOU.
NOW, I HAVE ANOTHER CASE,
BUT EVEN IF I DIDN'T, YOU DON'T
WANT ME HOLDING YOUR HAND
FOR A $150 AN HOUR, HUH?
CHEER UP, MRS.
ANDERSON. YOU WON.
MRS. ANDERSON?
IS THERE ANYTHING
WE CAN DO, MA'AM?
YOU'RE HIS LAWYER.
YES, MA'AM. BUT WE
ARE MILITARY OFFICERS.
WE LOOK OUT FOR OUR OWN.
WHY DID HE FORCE ME TO DO THIS?
WELL, MA'AM, YOU'RE TAKING
HIS BOY AWAY FROM HIM.
I HAD TO. HE DIDN'T
GIVE ME A CHOICE.
YES, MA'AM. I UNDERSTAND.
UM, I JUST WISH YOU COULD
HAVE GIVEN HIM A LITTLE MORE TIME.
ALL MATT EVER WANTS IS TIME.
WHEN HE ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM,
I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T
WANNA BE A MILITARY WIFE.
HE SAID HE HAD 6 YEARS
TO GO UNTIL HE GOT HIS 20.
AND IF I PROMISED TO HANG
AROUND TILL THEN, HE WOULD RETIRE.
WELL, THE 6 BECAME 8
AND THE 8 BECAME 10.
AND HE STILL HASN'T RETIRED.
WHY SHOULD I THINK IT'S GONNA
BE ANY DIFFERENT WITH TREVOR?
YOU SHOULDN'T.
DO YOU HAVE SOMEWHERE TO STAY
UNTIL THE COLONEL BRINGS YOUR SON BACK?
WELL, I HATE SPENDING THE MONEY,
BUT I GUESS I COULD FIND A MOTEL.
MMM, HOW ABOUT THE
HOSTESS HOUSE AT THE BASE?
IT'LL COST A LOT LESS
THAN ANY DECENT MOTEL.
I... I'M NOT A DEPENDENT
ANYMORE, LIEUTENANT.
IT'S MEG.
AND UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES,
THAT'S NOT GONNA BE A PROBLEM.
WHY DON'T I RIDE ALONG
WITH YOU AND HELP SET IT UP?
THANK YOU. HMM.
MRS. ANDERSON, DID
YOU TELL YOUR LAWYER
YOU BELIEVED MATT
MIGHT HURT TREVOR?
NO. NOT EXACTLY.
I TOLD HIM THAT MATT SOUNDED
CONFUSED ABOUT TREVOR,
AND THAT IT FRIGHTENED ME.
HOW WAS HE CONFUSED?
TWICE HE REFERRED
TO TREVOR AS DIGGER.
DIGGER?
WHO'S DIGGER?
WHAT?
YOU SAID, "HOW CAN
YOU DO THAT, DIGGER?"
I DID?
YEAH. YOU DID, DAD.
I MUST HAVE BEEN THINKING
OF AN OLD BUDDY OF MINE
WHO USED TO POUR MUSTARD
ALL OVER HIS FRENCH FRIES, TOO.
NEAT. GOOD TO KNOW
SOMEBODY ELSE DOES IT.
KIDS AT SCHOOL THINK I'M WEIRD.
WE SAID THE SAME
THING ABOUT DIGGER.
CAN I PHONE MOM?
NO, SHE'S PROBABLY BUSY
PACKING FOR THE MOVE.
WE PACKED LAST WEEK.
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO
MOVE SATURDAY, REMEMBER?
RIGHT. SATURDAY.
YOU DIDN'T TELL HER WE WERE
TAKING THE EXTRA DAYS, DID YOU?
YES, I DID.
AND SHE SAID OK?
NOT EXACTLY.
LOOK, TREVOR,
I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'M
GOING TO BE SEEIN' YOU AGAIN.
I KNOW.
AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE TO
SPEND A COUPLE OF DAYS TOGETHER
DOIN' SOMETHING SPECIAL.
SINCE YOU'VE NEVER
BEEN HUNTING...
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
WELL, I WAS ABOUT YOUR AGE WHEN
MY FATHER TOOK ME ON MY FIRST HUNT.
THIS IS TOO COOL. WHAT
ARE WE GONNA HUNT?
BEARS?
DEER.
WHY NOT BEARS?
NOT IN SEASON.
BUT, WHAT IF A BEAR ATTACKS US?
THEN WE'D HAVE
TO SHOOT IT, RIGHT?
IT'D BE LIKE SELF-DEFENSE.
OH. DEFINITELY SELF-DEFENSE.
SO WHERE'S MY GUN?
WELL, YOU'RE STILL A
LITTLE YOUNG FOR THAT.
HOW CAN I HUNT IF I
DON'T HAVE A GUN?
WELL, I HUNT AND
YOU'RE THE BAIT.
YOU SEE, I TIE YOU TO A TREE.
AND WHEN THE DEER'S
COME TO EAT YOU, POW.
DEER DON'T EAT PEOPLE, DAD.
THEY DON'T?
MUST BE THINKING
OF BEAR HUNTING.
DAD.
COLONEL ANDERSON
REQUESTED AN EMERGENCY LEAVE
FOR PERSONAL REASONS, SIR.
DID HE SAY WHAT THOSE
REASONS WERE, CAPTAIN?
NOT TO ME, SIR.
AND YOU HAVE NO
IDEA WHERE HE WENT?
NO, SIR.
ISN'T HE REQUIRED TO
LEAVE A PHONE NUMBER?
YES, SIR. HE LEFT HIS
HOME PHONE NUMBER.
WELL, WE KNOW HE'S
NOT THERE, CAPTAIN.
THAT'S THE NUMBER HE LEFT, SIR.
LOOK, I'M HERE TO HELP
COLONEL ANDERSON, NOT HURT HIM.
BUT I CAN'T DO THAT
IF YOU STONEWALL ME.
I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW
WHERE HE WENT, COMMANDER.
MAYBE HUNTING.
I KNOW HE CHECKED HIS RIFLE OUT
OF THE ARMORY BEFORE HE LEFT.
WHAT KIND OF RIFLE?
BROWNING 308.
SAID IT WAS HIS
FATHER'S DEER RIFLE.
OH, GOD.
I GOT HER INTO THE
HOSTESS HOUSE.
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT HAVE SOME
NEWS SO I BROUGHT HER ALONG.
WHAT IS IT, MRS.
ANDERSON? THE RIFLE?
MATT'S FATHER COMMITTED
SUICIDE WITH THAT RIFLE.
THAT WAS YOUR DADDY'S GUN?
YES.
AND HE GAVE IT TO YOU?
MMM-HMM.
SO, SOMEDAY
YOU'LL GIVE IT TO ME.
SOME DAY.
GET IN THE TRUCK.
GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING.
CAN I SEE YOUR DRIVER'S
LICENSE, PLEASE?
SURE.
NO SCHOOL TODAY, SON?
NO.
NO, WHAT?
NO, SIR.
CAN YOU STEP AROUND TO
THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, SIR?
I WAS IN THE CORPS MYSELF, SIR.
SERVED 3 YEARS IN
THE FIRST DIVISION.
LANCE CORPORAL TERRANCE HODGE.
PLEASED TO MEET YOU, CORPORAL.
YEAH, WELL, IT'S
DEPUTY HODGE NOW, SIR.
LODEN COUNTY
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.
I SEE. ANY PROBLEM?
WELL, THERE SEEMS TO BE A
WARRANT FOR YOUR ARREST, COLONEL.
HANDS ON THE VEHICLE.
DO YOU HAVE TO DO THIS IN FRONT
OF MY SON? LEGS APART! MMM.
PLEASE, YOU DON'T
NEED TO DO THAT!
THIS AIN'T A MARINE UNIFORM
I'M WEARING, COLONEL.
I'M THE ONE GIVING ORDERS HERE.
NO! LET MY DAD GO!
TREVOR, STAY IN THE VAN!
GOOCH, I'M HIT!
HELP ME UP. HELP ME UP, GOOCH.
HELP ME UP! GOOCH, HELP ME!
I GOT YOU, DIGGER.
I GOT YOU. I GOT YOU.
ARE YOU SURE?
THANK YOU.
A LODEN COUNTY DEPUTY SHERIFF STOPPED
THE COLONEL OUTSIDE OF RIDGECREST,
70 MILES EAST OF BAKERSFIELD.
HE TRIED TO BRING
HIM INTO CUSTODY
AND HE SAYS HE RESISTED.
OH, MATT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
THE DEPUTY WAS INJURED.
THE COLONEL GOT AWAY.
WHAT ABOUT TREVOR?
HE MUST STILL BE WITH HIM.
DID THEY SAY WHICH
WAY HE WAS HEADED?
NO, SIR, BUT IT'S
ESCALATING INTO A MAN HUNT.
WE'D BETTER HEAD UP THERE.
I'M GOING WITH YOU.
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, MRS. ANDERSON,
YOU HAD THE ARREST WARRANT ISSUED.
YOUR PRESENCE THERE MAY
AGGRAVATE THE SITUATION.
I KNOW MATT BETTER THAN ANYONE.
AND IF MY SON IS IN
DANGER, I SHOULD BE THERE.
THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD
BUMP THERE, MARINE.
BUT I THINK YOU'LL LIVE.
WE'RE IN TROUBLE, AREN'T WE?
WELL, ONE OF US IS.
YOUR MOTHER
CALLED IN THE CAVALRY.
ARE THEY GONNA ARREST YOU?
NO. NOBODY'S GONNA
ARREST ANYBODY.
I DON'T WANT YOU
TO GO TO JAIL, DAD.
I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL.
DON'T WORRY. I'LL
GET US OUT OF THIS.
I DON'T KNOW, GOOCH.
THEY'RE ALL AROUND US.
WE GOT 'EM WHERE
WE WANT 'EM, BUDDY.
HOW BAD IS IT?
JUST BAD ENOUGH
FOR A TICKET HOME.
I'M SCARED, GOOCH.
DON'T LEAVE ME.
HEY, HAVE I EVER LEFT YOU?
DEER HUNTING IN THE SNOW.
I DAMN NEAR FROZE TO DEATH
BEFORE I FOUND THE CABIN.
YEAH, WELL, NOT TODAY.
WHERE I GO, YOU GO.
I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS.
HEY, IT'S GONNA BE ALL
RIGHT. I GOT YOU. IT'S OK.
AM I GONNA DIE? NO, YOU'RE NOT!
NOW, YOU LOOK AT ME!
NOW, YOU'RE NOT GONNA DIE!
I'M GONNA GET YOU OUT OF HERE,
OK? I'M GONNA GET YOU HOME.
WE'LL BE DEER HUNTING
THIS FALL, I PROMISE.
PROMISE WHAT, DAD?
UH,
THAT WE'RE, UH, GOING
HUNTING LIKE I PROMISED.
COME ON. LET'S GO.
I'M STANDING IN FRONT
OF A GAS STATION
OFF THE PINE CREST HIGHWAY
WHERE AN OFFICER OF THE LODEN
COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
HAS JUST BECOME AN
APPARENT VICTIM OF AN ATTACK.
THE ALLEGED ATTACKER
HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS...
SIR, WHERE CAN I FIND
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY HODGE?
HODGE IS WITH THE
PARAMEDICS, SIR.
I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR
THAT. IT'LL HAVE TO WAIT.
DEPUTY HODGE?
YOU MUST BE DAMAGE CONTROL.
SOMETHING LIKE
THAT. WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT HAPPENED?
HE RESISTED ARREST,
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
IF HE DIDN'T USE HIS SON AS A
SHIELD, HE'D BE IN CUSTODY RIGHT NOW.
WHAT?
THE COLONEL WOULD NEVER
USE HIS SON AS A SHIELD.
YOU WEREN'T THERE,
COMMANDER. I WAS.
THE COLONEL TRIED TO KILL ME.
IS THAT HOW YOU GOT THIS?
HIT ME WITH HIS RIFLE.
IF HE WAS TRYING TO KILL
YOU, HE WOULD HAVE SHOT YOU.
I GOT A FUGITIVE TO CATCH.
I THINK HIS EGO HURTS
MORE THAN HIS HEAD.
MRS. ANDERSON, I DON'T
KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED,
BUT THAT DEPUTY'S
ONLY TELLIN' HALF OF IT.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
THEY CATCH UP WITH MATT?
WELL, LET'S HOPE WE
FIND HIM BEFORE THEY DO.
IF MATT WANTS TO COMMIT SUICIDE,
HE MIGHT DECIDE TO FIGHT.
WHO KNOWS WHAT
COULD HAPPEN TO TREVOR?
COLONEL ANDERSON WAS BEING
QUESTIONED, BECAME VIOLENT,
AND ATTACKED THE
OFFICER WITH HIS RIFLE,
THEN ESCAPED IN A RED 4x4.
THE SUSPECT IS CONSIDERED
ARMED AND DANGEROUS.
POLICE ARE ASKING ANYONE
WITH ANY INFORMATION
TO CONTACT THEM
IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS...
CAN I CALL MOM?
NOT RIGHT NOW.
SHE MIGHT BE WORRIED ABOUT US.
ARE YOU OK, GOOCH?
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
I SAID, "ARE YOU OK?"
NO, NO, NO. A NAME.
YOU CALLED ME A NAME.
A NAME THAT ONLY
DIGGER CALLED ME.
THE FRIEND WHO PUT
MUSTARD ON HIS FRENCH FRIES?
THAT'S RIGHT. MY FRIEND WHO
PUT MUSTARD ON HIS FRIES, LIKE YOU.
WHAT MADE YOU CALL ME
GOOCH? WHAT, DAMN IT?
WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING?
I SAW THE DEPUTY'S CAR DRIVE UP.
AND IT LOOKED LIKE
A ROUTINE CHECK
UNTIL HE SLAMMED THAT
GUY UP AGAINST THE BLAZER.
THE GUY DIDN'T ASSAULT HIM?
YEAH. AFTER THE DEPUTY
BACKHANDED HIS KID.
THEN THE GUY LOST IT. HE DROPPED
THAT COP LIKE A BOX OF ROCKS.
I JUST STAYED OUT OF THE WAY, MAN. I
MEAN, THAT GUY LOOKED DANGEROUS,
YOU KNOW, LIKE SOME, UH, TRAINED
KILLER KIND OF GONE, YOU KNOW.
YOU SEE WHAT
DIRECTION THEY HEADED?
OH, YEAH. THEY WENT NORTH BOUND.
THANKS, PETE. UH, NAME'S RANDY.
OH, HEY, THESE ARE
JUST, UH, PETE'S OVERALLS.
LISTEN UP. DON'T I, UH, GET SOME KIND
OF REWARD FOR THIS, OR SOMETHING?
JUST ASKING.
I KNEW THAT DEPUTY
WASN'T TELLING THE TRUTH.
THE COLONEL DID
ASSAULT HIM, SIR.
SOUNDS TO ME LIKE HE WAS
JUST PROTECTING HIS SON.
HARM, HE'S UNSTABLE AT
BEST. HE MAY EVEN BE SUICIDAL.
EITHER WAY, HIS SON'S IN DANGER.
ESPECIALLY WITH
WYATT EARP ON HIS TRAIL.
RABB.
I DIDN'T WANNA HURT
ANYBODY, COMMANDER.
THEY HAVE THIS ALL WRONG.
WHERE ARE YOU, COLONEL?
I'D SAY SOMEWHERE
IN THE MIDDLE OF
INDIAN TERRITORY.
SIR?
THAT'S WHAT WE USED
TO CALL THE BUSH IN NAM.
LOOKS LIKE I GOT MYSELF
INTO A REAL MESS, COMMANDER.
YES, SIR. HOW'S TREVOR?
UH, HE'S, UH, A LITTLE WORN
OUT BUT HE'S ALL RIGHT.
WELL, YOU HAVE LEFT ONE VERY
ANGRY SHERIFF'S DEPUTY HERE, SIR.
HE'S GOT A POSSE
OUT LOOKING FOR YOU.
I FIGURED THAT.
I BLEW IT, COMMANDER.
LOST CONTROL.
THEY SAY STRESS KILLS.
BUT, NOBODY TALKS
ABOUT IT MAKIN' YOU CRAZY.
UH, IS JOYCE THERE?
YES, SIR.
LOOK, TELL HER THAT
TREVOR'S ALL RIGHT.
I... I'D DO IT MYSELF BUT I DON'T
HAVE THE ENERGY TO FIGHT WITH HER.
COLONEL, YOU NEED TO
TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE.
LOOK, YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO TRUST ME, SIR.
I MAY BE YOUR ONLY
SAFE WAY OUT OF THIS.
UH-HUH. I'LL TURN MYSELF
IN TO YOU, COMMANDER.
BUT I DON'T WANNA BE
ARRESTED IN FRONT OF MY SON.
I UNDERSTAND, SIR. BUT
THAT MIGHT BE DIFFICULT.
THE MINUTE I LEAVE HERE,
THESE DEPUTIES WILL FOLLOW.
EVEN IF I LOSE THEM, THEY HAVE
ROAD BLOCKS FOR A 50 MILE RADIUS.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT.
AS SOON AS I'M GONE, LET MRS.
ANDERSON KNOW TREVOR'S SAFE.
HARM, YOU'VE GONE FAR BEYOND
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES TO YOUR CLIENT.
THE POLICE ARE INVOLVED. I THINK
YOU SHOULD LET THEM HANDLE IT.
HANDLE IT? MEG, IT'S
GONNA BE A LYNCHING.
YEAH, WITH YOU IN THE MIDDLE.
MEG, THE COLONEL
WANTS TO SURRENDER.
HE JUST DOESN'T WANNA BE
ARRESTED IN FRONT OF HIS SON.
YOU CAN UNDERSTAND
THAT, CAN'T YOU?
YEAH, I UNDERSTAND IT. BUT
I'M NOT SO SURE THAT THEY WILL.
EXACTLY. THE COLONEL'S ON EDGE AND
THESE GUYS MIGHT BE TRIGGER HAPPY.
BELIEVE ME, I WOULDN'T
BE GETTING IN THE MIDDLE
IF I DIDN'T THINK IT
WAS THE BEST WAY OUT.
THEN YOU SHOULDN'T
GO ALONE, SIR.
NO, NO, NO, NO.
SORRY, LIEUTENANT.
YOU SAID YOURSELF THE
COLONEL WAS ON EDGE.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT STATE
OF MIND YOU'RE GONNA FIND HIM IN.
MEG, I'M ALREADY
STICKING MY NECK OUT.
THERE'S NO REASON FOR BOTH OUR
HEADS TO BE ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK.
YOU MAY HAVE TAKEN THIS CASE PRO
BONO, SIR, BUT I'M STILL YOUR PARTNER.
I'M JUST TRYING TO...
WHAT ARE WE GONNA
TELL MRS. ANDERSON?
I'LL TELL HER TO WAIT IN THE CAR
AND PROMISE TO PHONE
WHEN WE FIND TREVOR.
OK.
GIVE ME SOME COFFEE.
WHAT THE HELL?
HEY, WHAT DO YOU
THINK YOU'RE DOING?
COME ON!
WELCOME ABOARD, SIR.
DIGGER, THERE'S
CHOPPERS IN THE AREA.
MUST BE A NIGHT MISSION.
I'LL HAVE TO LEAVE YOU
HERE TILL I FIND THEIR L.Z.
I'LL BE BACK. I PROMISE.
YOU'VE GOT TO STAY AWAKE.
DO YOU HEAR ME? YOU STAY AWAKE.
I PROMISE I'LL BE BACK, YOU
PROMISE TO STAY AWAKE, OK?
GOOD. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
COLONEL?
IS THAT YOU, GOOCH?
DIGGER?
NO.
DON'T SHOOT!
WHAT'S HE SAYING?
STOP. DON'T WAKE HIM.
HE'S HAVING A NIGHTMARE.
TREVOR?
TREVOR, WAKE UP. MOM?
NO, MY NAME'S MEG.
YOUR MOM ASKED ME
TO CHECK UP ON YOU.
ARE YOU OK?
YEAH.
COLONEL, CAN I
SEE YOUR RIFLE, SIR?
A BROWNING, ISN'T IT?
YOU HEARD HIM.
YES, SIR. HE WAS
HAVIN' A NIGHTMARE.
HE WAS SPEAKING VIETNAMESE.
WAS HE, SIR?
IT SOUNDED LIKE HE WAS
MUMBLING SOMETHING IN HIS SLEEP.
WHAT'S THE CALIBER?
308.
IT'S A NICE RIFLE.
GOOD AND FLAT SHOOTING.
IT'S HIS DADDY'S. SOMEDAY
IT'S GONNA BE MINE.
SOMEDAY.
MEG, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE
TREVOR DOWN TO THE COFFEE SHOP?
NO.
COLONEL, YOU AND I HAVE
MILITARY MATTERS TO DISCUSS, SIR.
BESIDES, TREVOR'S A GROWING BOY.
I'M SURE HE'S STARVING
FOR BREAKFAST.
I AM KINDA HUNGRY, DAD.
CAN I BRING YOU BACK SOMETHING?
COFFEE. BLACK. COLONEL?
UH, SAME.
BYE, DAD.
WHY DID MOM SEND
YOU, LIEUTENANT?
WHY DIDN'T SHE COME?
YOU KNOW MY RANK?
I'M A MILITARY BRAT.
SO WAS I.
REALLY? MMM-HMM.
DID YOUR FOLKS GET A DIVORCE?
NO. MY FATHER DIED IN VIETNAM.
THAT'S WORSE THAN A DIVORCE.
YEAH, IT IS.
MY DAD WAS IN VIETNAM.
I KNOW.
SOMETIMES HE ACTS
LIKE HE'S STILL THERE.
WHEN HE CALLS YOU DIGGER?
YEAH! HOW'D YOU KNOW?
YOUR MOM TOLD ME.
SHE'S WAITING FOR
YOU TO CALL HER.
WHERE? WAITIN' IN OUR CAR.
DO YOU WANT ME TO DIAL?
I CAN DO IT. OK.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CHANGE, MA'AM?
MMM-HMM.
I CAN'T TURN MYSELF IN. NOT NOW.
NOW THAT I KNOW IT'S REAL.
COLONEL? YOU HEARD HIM!
SIR, HE WAS HAVING A NIGHTMARE.
TO ME IT SOUNDED
LIKE, "DON'T LIE".
TO YOU, "DUNG LAI".
HE PUTS MUSTARD
ON HIS FRENCH FRIES.
WHAT?
TREVOR.
HE PUTS MUSTARD ON HIS
FRENCH FRIES JUST LIKE DIGGER DID.
SIR, HALF OF FRANCE PUTS
MUSTARD ON THEIR FRENCH FRIES.
DOES THAT MAKE TREVOR FRENCH?
HE CALLED ME GOOCH. THAT
WAS MY NICKNAME IN NAM.
NOW HOW THE HELL
DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT?
WELL, MAYBE YOU TOLD
HIM OR HIS MOTHER...
NO! NO!
JOYCE DOESN'T KNOW THEY CALLED ME
GOOCH. I NEVER, NEVER TOLD HER THAT!
SHE KNEW YOUR BEST
FRIEND IN NAM WAS DIGGER.
WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT DIGGER.
BUT I NEVER TOLD HER THAT
MY NICKNAME WAS GOOCH.
COLONEL,
DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE YOUR
SON IS DIGGER REINCARNATED?
SIR, YOU'VE JUST GONE
THROUGH A DIVORCE.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA SEE
YOUR SON FOR A LONG TIME.
ISN'T IT POSSIBLE THAT THOSE
LOSSES HAVE TRIGGERED THE MEMORY
OF LOSING YOUR BEST
FRIEND IN VIETNAM?
DIGGER AND I MADE A PACT IN NAM.
IF ONE OF US BOUGHT IT, THE
OTHER WOULD BRING HIM HOME.
BURY HIM AT THE HUNTING CABIN.
I DIDN'T KEEP THAT PROMISE.
I... I THINK DIGGER'S
GIVING ME A 2ND CHANCE.
SIR, TREVOR IS NOT DEAD.
YOU CAN'T BURY HIM
AT YOUR HUNTING CABIN.
I KNOW THAT. MY GOD,
COMMANDER, I'M NOT INSANE!
BUT I'VE SEEN THINGS
HAPPEN IN THAT WAR.
LAWS OF PHYSICS AND
NATURE GOT ALL TWISTED UP.
WAY BEYOND LOGIC
AND COMMON SENSE.
TREVOR AND DIGGER ARE
INTERTWINED SOMEHOW.
ONLY IN YOUR MIND, COLONEL.
EVEN IF YOU'RE RIGHT,
IF IT'S ONLY IN MY MIND,
WON'T GETTING TREVOR TO THAT
CABIN PUT AN END TO IT FOR ME?
♪
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO
WHEN A BEAR ATTACKS YOU?
CLIMB A TREE?
NOPE.
GET IN YOUR CAR AND DRIVE?
PLAY DEAD.
A BEAR WON'T HURT YOU
IF HE THINKS YOU'RE DEAD.
I THINK YOU'D HAVE A BETTER
CHANCE IN MY MUSTANG.
YEAH. OR MY TREE.
TOM, YOU STUCK YOUR
NECK OUT, I WON'T FORGET IT.
ANYTIME, COLONEL.
YEAH, WELL, WE'LL BE
TAKING OFF SHORTLY.
I'LL GO FIRE HER UP, SIR.
YEAH. THANKS.
IS TREVOR BEHAVIN'
HIMSELF, LIEUTENANT?
YES, SIR. HE'S TEACHING
ME HOW TO HUNT BEARS.
AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO PLAY
DEAD IF A BEAR ATTACKS YOU, DAD?
ONLY IF YOU'RE NOT
FASTER THAN HIM.
NOBODY'S FASTER THAN A BEAR.
NOT THE BEAR. THE GUY
YOU'RE HUNTING WITH.
HE'S THE ONE YOU'VE
GOT TO OUTRUN.
MEG, YOU FORGOT OUR COFFEE.
OH, SORRY. IT WAS
BLACK, WASN'T IT, SIR?
PLEASE.
2 COFFEES, PLEASE. OK.
TALK ABOUT YOUR MOOD CHANGES.
HOW'D YOU CALM HIM DOWN?
I AGREED TO GO ALONG WITH HIM.
TO TURN HIMSELF IN?
TO A HUNTING CABIN
OUTSIDE OF BISHOP.
WHAT?
25 YEARS AGO, THE COLONEL
MADE A PACT IN VIETNAM.
IF HE OR HIS BUDDY WERE KILLED,
THE SURVIVOR WOULD BURY THE
OTHER ONE AT THEIR HUNTING CABIN.
THE COLONEL HAD TO LEAVE
HIS BUDDY IN THE JUNGLE.
BUDDY NAMED DIGGER?
YEAH.
AND HE THINKS HIS SON IS DIGGER?
IN A WAY.
AND YOU BELIEVE HIM?
HERE YOU GO.
THANKS.
NO, I DON'T BELIEVE
TREVOR'S DIGGER,
BUT THE COLONEL DOES,
AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.
ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU'RE
AIDING AND ABETTING A FUGITIVE.
MEG, I PROMISED
STRIKER I WOULD HELP.
YEAH, TO HANDLE HIS DIVORCE.
NOT TO RUN FROM THE LAW.
HIS CAREER IS OVER.
WE BOTH KNOW THAT.
I CAN'T LET HIM THROW
IT AWAY FOR NOTHING.
AND THAT'S WHAT IT'LL BE IF HE
DOESN'T MAKE IT TO THAT CABIN.
HARM, YOU COULD BE
COURT-MARTIALED FOR THIS.
I'M WILLING TO RISK IT.
OK. FORGET YOU.
WHAT ABOUT TREVOR?
YOU'RE ENDANGERING HIM.
NO. THE COLONEL WOULD NEVER HURT
TREVOR. BESIDES, I'VE GOT HIS AMMO.
YOU DON'T HAVE THE SHERIFF'S.
MEG, THIS CAN ALL BE
OVER IN LESS THAN AN HOUR.
WE FLY THE COLONEL
AND HIS SON TO THE CABIN.
HE GETS CLOSURE. WE
FLY BACK TO THE BASE.
HE SURRENDERS
HIMSELF TO THE COURT.
THE CLOSEST DEPUTY HODGE
WILL EVER COME TO SEEING US
IS ON THE 11:00 NEWS.
WANNA BET?
HOW DID THEY FIND US?
TREVOR CALLED HIS MOM.
HE MUST HAVE TOLD HER.
SHE TOLD THEM.
GO! GO! GOT IT! GOT IT!
BARNES, DON'T LET HIM LEAVE.
WILKES, AROUND BACK.
HEY, THERE'S MOM.
COME ON, DIGGER.
HARM.
MEG, I'VE GOTTA HELP THEM.
NO, MY SON'S IN THERE.
WE'RE NOT GONNA HURT
YOUR SON, MRS. ANDERSON.
WHAT ROOM ARE THEY IN?
I SAID, WHAT ROOM ARE THEY IN?
3.
HE SAID THEY'RE
IN ROOM NUMBER 3.
3.
FOR GOD'S SAKES, LET ME ASK MATT TO SEND
HIM OUT BEFORE YOU GO IN THERE WITH GUNS.
PLEASE!
ALL RIGHT, MRS. ANDERSON.
YOU GOT ONE MINUTE.
MATT, PLEASE SEND TREVOR
OUT. I'LL TALK TO THE JUDGE.
JUST LET OUR SON COME OUT.
TIME'S UP. MATT! PLEASE!
GET HER OUT OF
HERE! NO, MATT! PLEASE!
STAY BACK.
MY SON! THEY'RE NOT IN THERE.
THEY'RE HEADED
FOR A HUNTING CABIN.
OH. OH, HE WAS
ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT
THE GOOD TIMES HE AND
DIGGER HAD AT SOME CABIN.
BUT I... I DON'T
KNOW WHERE IT IS.
DOES THE COLONEL HAVE ANY
RELATIVES IN BISHOP WHO'D KNOW?
NO. THEY'VE ALL MOVED AWAY.
OH, BUT I THINK THAT DIGGER'S
MOTHER STILL LIVES THERE.
HE'S SOMEPLACE
CLOSE. HE LEFT HIS RIFLE.
GOT IT!
HE'S STILL IN THE AREA!
MUST BE!
CHECK ALL THE ROOMS.
BARNES, CHECK THE COFFEE SHOP!
ALL RIGHT.
HEY! THEY'RE OVER HERE!
LET'S GO!
OVER THERE!
WILKES, TAKE THE HIGHWAY TO THE
NEXT FARM ROAD AND CUT 'EM OFF!
GIVE IT UP, COLONEL!
THERE'S NO WAY OUT!
DON'T MAKE ME COME IN AFTER YOU.
BASE! DEPUTY...
BASE. DEPUTY HODGE.
CALL THE AIRFIELD AT BISHOP.
SEE IF THEY CAN TRACK
A HELICOPTER ON RADAR
THAT JUST LIFTED OFF A MILE
SOUTH OF BIG PINE OFF 168.
HEADING NORTHWEST.
MILE SOUTH OF BIG PINE AND 168.
HEADING NORTHWEST. ROGER.
AFTER YOU DO THAT,
GET ME JUDGE HOLLICK.
I NEED A WARRANT FOR THE ARREST
OF A NAVY LIEUTENANT COMMANDER.
FIRST A MARINE COLONEL.
NOW A NAVY LIEUTENANT COMMANDER.
WHAT ARE YOU DOIN',
HODGE? GOIN' TO WAR?
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THE CABIN'S SOMEWHERE ON
THIS SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
EASY TO FIND FROM THE AIR.
BUT I CAN'T EVEN SPOT THE
LOGGING ROAD THAT GOES TO IT.
IT'S BEEN 25 YEARS, COLONEL.
THEY'RE PROBABLY BOTH
HIDDEN BY TREE GROWTH.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
TOM, FIND THE NEAREST L.Z.
WE'LL HIKE IN FROM THERE.
YES, SIR.
THERE'S ONE AT 2:00.
GOT IT.
WAIT! COME BACK!
COME BACK!
WHERE THE HELL
DID YOU COME FROM?
GOT LEFT BEHIND YESTERDAY.
I GOT A BUDDY WOUNDED BAD
ABOUT 500 METERS BACK THERE.
CHARLIE'S COMING THAT WAY.
I CAN'T LEAVE HIM.
LOOK, OUR SLICK IS
LESS THAN 5 MINUTES OUT.
WHEN IT GETS HERE,
WE'VE GOT TO GO.
WE'LL BE HERE.
SAUNDERS! GO WITH HIM. YES, SIR!
HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A WEAPON.
WE NEVER SAW MATT AFTER
HE GOT BACK FROM VIETNAM.
AND WHEN HIS SISTER
MOVED TO SAN FRANCISCO,
WE JUST LOST TRACK
OF HIM COMPLETELY.
HOW IS HE?
UM, HE'S STILL IN THE
MARINE CORPS, MA'AM.
HE'S A COLONEL NOW.
A COLONEL? OH, GOOD FOR HIM.
DID HE TELL YOU
ANYTHING ABOUT DIGGER?
ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT
THEY WERE GOOD FRIENDS.
GOOD FRIENDS? MORE
LIKE SIAMESE TWINS.
THEY WERE BORN ON THE
SAME DAY. DID YOU KNOW THAT?
NO. I DIDN'T.
OH, THEY SIGNED UP TOGETHER
ON THEIR 18TH BIRTHDAY.
DIGGER WANTED TO GO NAVY,
BUT MATT TALKED
HIM INTO THE MARINES.
I NEVER HELD IT AGAINST
HIM, BUT I'M SURE MATT DID.
HE ALWAYS FELT SO
RESPONSIBLE FOR DIGGER.
ONCE DIGGER GOT
LOST DEER HUNTING
AND NEARLY FROZE TRYING TO
FIND HIS WAY BACK TO THE CABIN.
MATT SAID THAT IT WAS HIS FAULT.
NOW, I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY.
THEY BOTH KNEW THAT MOUNTAIN
LIKE THE PALM OF THEIR HAND.
MRS. COLE, DO YOU
STILL HAVE THAT CABIN?
OH.
I NEVER HAD THE
HEART TO SELL IT.
OF COURSE, I COULD
HAVE USED THE MONEY, BUT,
I DON'T KNOW, SOMEHOW,
DIGGER JUST LOVED IT, SO...
ANYTHING LOOK FAMILIAR, COLONEL?
EVERYTHING. THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
A TREE IS A TREE IS A TREE.
BUT I'M SURE I'LL
RECOGNIZE SOMETHING
WHEN I GET TO THE LOGGING ROAD.
DON'T LEAVE ME AGAIN.
WHAT?
I SAID, "DON'T LEAVE ME."
AGAIN! YOU SAID,
"DON'T LEAVE ME AGAIN!"
DIDN'T HE?
TAKE IT EASY, COLONEL.
YOU'RE FRIGHTENING HIM.
SORRY, TREVOR.
COME ON. THE ROAD
CAN'T BE MUCH FURTHER.
LODEN COUNTY MOBILE. C.H.P. AIR.
YOU'RE ALMOST ON HIM.
YOU SHOULD HAVE HIM IN SIGHT.
WHERE ARE THEY?
WHERE'S WHO, SIR?
I DON'T HAVE TIME
FOR GAMES, CAPTAIN.
TELL ME WHERE THEY
WENT RIGHT NOW,
OR YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
BRADLEY. THOMAS. CAPTAIN.
UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS.
855368400.
OCTOBER 1, 1961.
THIS IS IT. THIS IS THE
LOGGING ROAD TO THE CABIN.
MY GOD, IT'S ALL GROWN OVER.
WHICH WAY NOW, COLONEL?
I THINK, UH,
THIS WAY.
TREVOR!
COMING, SIR.
KLINGONS! STAND
BY TO BEAM ME UP!
DAD?
DAD!
TREVOR?
TREVOR!
DIGGER!
DIGGER, WHERE ARE YOU?
WHERE IS HE?
I LEFT HIM RIGHT
HERE, MAN! RIGHT HERE!
OH, MAN.
LOOK AT ALL THE BLOOD,
MAN. CHARLIE'S GOT HIM.
I GOT TO FIND HIM.
HEY, MAN. THAT... THAT'S OUR
RIDE! I CAN'T LEAVE DIGGER.
LISTEN, THERE'S NOTHING
WE CAN DO. HE'S DEAD!
NO! I GOT TO GET HIM HOME!
DIGGER! DIGGER!
TREVOR! TREVOR!
UP HERE!
THERE'S A BEAR DOWN THERE.
I KNOW I'M SUPPOSED
TO PLAY DEAD,
BUT THE TREE LOOKED
LIKE A BETTER IDEA.
WELL, I TOLD YOU
YOU'D MAKE GOOD BAIT.
COME ON DOWN.
HEY, THERE'S A CABIN!
FOR A MARINE, HE SURE
LEAVES A HOT TRAIL.
IT'S THIS WAY!
THERE IT IS.
THAT'S IT, ISN'T IT?
THAT'S IT.
FREEZE!
DAD?
TAKE IT EASY, COLONEL.
I'VE GOT TO GET DIGGER HOME.
ON THE GROUND! NOW!
WE'RE UNARMED!
I SAID ON THE GROUND!
LOOK, THIS IS HARD TO EXPLAIN.
YOU SEE THAT CABIN THERE?
THE COLONEL'S BEEN TRYING TO
GET TO THAT CABIN FOR 25 YEARS.
EVER SINCE HE LEFT HIS BEST
FRIEND BEHIND IN VIETNAM.
NOW THAT WE'RE THIS CLOSE,
I CAN'T LET YOU STOP HIM.
I'LL SHOOT YOU, COMMANDER.
GET GOING, SIR.
YOU DO WHAT YOU
HAVE TO DO, DEPUTY.
MAYBE WE OUGHT TO LET HIM
WALK TO THE CABIN, HODGE.
NO. STOP OR I'LL FIRE!
FOR GOD'S SAKE, HODGE.
THERE'S A KID WITH HIM!
WE MADE IT.
YEAH. WE DID.
THERE THEY ARE. THERE'S TREVOR.
TREVOR?
MOM.
OH, GOD.
HOW'D YOU GET HERE?
ARE YOU OK?
MOM.
HI, MATT.
HI.
YOU CAN KISS YOUR CAREER
GOODBYE, COMMANDER.
HE WAS ONLY ASSISTING
HIS CLIENT TO SURRENDER.
LIKE HELL.
HE WAS AIDING AND
ABETTING A FUGITIVE.
THAT KID AT THE GAS STATION
SAID THAT YOU HIT TREVOR.
YOU THINK A JUDGE IS GONNA
BELIEVE A KID PUMPING GAS
OR A DEPUTY SHERIFF?
I'D BELIEVE THE VIDEO.
VIDEO? WHAT VIDEO?
OH, THE KIND THAT KEEP
TURNING UP ON THE 6:00 NEWS.
THERE'S NO VIDEO.
THAT GAS STATION HAD
A SURVEILLANCE CAMERA.
YOU DID GET IT, DIDN'T
YOU, LIEUTENANT?
YES, SIR.
YEAH, I'LL TELL
YOU WHAT, DEPUTY.
IF YOU ALLOW COLONEL
ANDERSON TO RETURN WITH US
AND SURRENDER TO THE COURT,
I'LL SEE THAT LIEUTENANT
AUSTIN LOSES THAT TAPE.
I DON'T THINK I
SHOULD DO THAT, SIR.
THAT TAPE IS EVIDENCE
FOR WHEN THE COLONEL CHARGES
DEPUTY HODGE WITH POLICE BRUTALITY.
WELL, I'M SURE IF DEPUTY HODGE
SCRATCHES THE COLONEL'S BACK,
THE COLONEL WILL
SCRATCH THE DEPUTY'S.
ARE WE GOIN'?
WHAT THE HELL DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
GOOD BLUFF, SIR.
WHAT? YOU DIDN'T GET THE VIDEO?
HERE YOU GO.
OH, THANKS.
HARM, DO YOU THINK
THERE'S ANY CHANCE
THAT WHAT THE COLONEL
BELIEVES IS TRUE?
WHAT? REINCARNATION?
I DON'T THINK SO, MEG.
I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.
AT LEAST IT'S TRUE FOR HIM.
THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.
