You served with him. Is he the rabid
dog we've all been hearing about?

:41:05
I don't think
I should comment, sir.

:41:06
Come on, Dad. This is family.
You can lighten up a little.

:41:09
You know what we said
at the naval academy.

:41:11
Even if you thought
you weren't responsible,

:41:14
it went wrong
and you were there.

:41:17
Since when have you
not had a comment?

:41:18
Since Childers asked me
to defend him.

:41:20
No. Oh, Hayes.
:41:22
- What?
- Excuse me.

:41:24
- Are you kidding me?
- No.

:41:27
Why would you do that?
Huh!

:41:30
- Because he asked me, and I owe him.
- That's great.

:41:32
That represents everything
that's wrong with the military.

:41:36
Wisdom from the one person
in this family...

:41:38
who has not elected
to serve his country.

:41:41
Childers must have snapped.
It happens in combat.

:41:43
I've seen it.
I'm sure you have too.

:41:46
Thank you for reminding me...
:41:48
why we have the presumption
of innocence in America.

:41:50
What are you, Abraham
Lincoln? You can't hide behind that.

:41:53
The guy murdered innocent women
and children.

:41:55
- You hear that on television?
- And newspapers.

:41:57
- It's all over the place.
- It's Mom and Dad's anniversary.

:42:08
Don't take this case, son.
:42:10
This man has trashed
the reputation of the Corps.

:42:13
He's put us back 20 years.
:42:18
Is this how you want
to be remembered?

:42:21
I don't see how I can
turn him down. He saved my life.

:42:24
Well, I understand that
as well as anyone.

:42:26
But you don't repay him by
falling senselessly on a grenade.

:42:31
The way I see it,
this man should find himself...

:42:34
the best laywer in the country.
- Somebody better than me?

:42:41
The guy's
a real marine, Dad.

:42:43
I mean, if they
can do this to him...

:42:45
just hang him out to dry...
they can do it to anybody.

:42:49
Forget that he's my friend.
They can do it to anybody.

:42:52
That means your medals
and your citations...

:42:55
won't mean jack shit
when they come afte ryou.
