Wow.
What?
You actually know how to be nice.
Where'd Cheaver go?
I don't know.
Cheaver?
Where the hell is he?
Maybe he went home with that woman.
He better not have.
Oh, come on. Give the guy a break.
Cheaver!
Nah, I don't want to stay here.
Hey! These people are nice.
And we gotta sleep sometime.
Yeah, you could have slept while I was driving.
Look, we'll find Cheaver in the morning
and then we'll get going, okay?
I think these are the guest rooms.
I'm gonna take this one.
- Okay. - Okay.
All right.
- Good night. - Good night.
Oh, my...
- Oh, yeah. - Oh, fuck.
I think I found Cheaver.
Oh, yeah.
I think I'm fixing to come!
Don't stop.
Who's that?
It's just my husband.
- What? - Don't stop.
Keep going.
Give it to her good, soldier.
There's someone else in there.
Cheaver, that woman wanted to make a train with you.
Do you still want to kill yourself?
Not at the moment.
There's still hope, you know.
That woman wanted you.
Yeah, and that man wanted you, too.
It's not funny.
"I think I'm fixin' to come!"
I told this guy in the band about Randy's guitar,
and he thinks it might be worth thousands of dollars
or maybe even more.
- Great. - Whatever.
It'd be nice to go hiking when we get to the Rockies,
don't you think?
Have a picnic.
No.
Denver, Colorado.
Where are we?
What are you doing?
You'll see.
It's a good one.
I know a guy who'd come over here right now and give you ten grand for it.
10 grand?
10 grand.
But...
it looks like someone just got 22 at auction.
$22,000?
It's a very special instrument you've got there.
Yes, sir.
Jeez.
$22,000!
You didn't believe me.
No, I thought it was just a stolen guitar.
It's not stolen.
It belonged to his daddy.
But he stole something, right?
Yeah, he robbed a casino.
Lucky Jim's.
That's right.
Walked in there by himself,
and he walked out with $50,000.
So Randy was, like, a bad ass, right?
Yeah.
He was a good person, too, you know.
Came from a great family.
- He just robbed a little bit, is that it? - Hello?
- Hey, Scott. - Why'd he start robbing?
He just got, you know, into a little bit of trouble.
Well, your mom and me have...
some things we have to sort out.
No, no, it has nothing to do with that.
You're going to Stanford.
We're gonna get you to Stanford.
No.
No, no, no. That is not a good idea.
No. Do not do that.
I will get you the money.
I will take care of it. I said I will and I will.
Promise me you will not do that.
All right.
I'll call you later.
All right. And...
I love you.
Fuck.
So what's up?
Kid thinks he's got it all figured out.
He's gonna get the money by enlisting in the fucking Army.
$20,000 signing bonus,
has to put off college for God knows how many years,
but he's okay with that.
Well, that sounds like a pretty good idea.
That is not a good idea.
They'll send him right over there.
I'm not gonna let that happen.
Maybe he could go to a state school.
No. You got a shot at Stanford,
you go to Stanford.
Exactly.
The problem is you can't go there for free, you know.
I gotta get the money. Get the money.
I'm gonna just... I'll get the money.
I'm worried about you, Cheaver.
I'll figure something out.
If you're so worried about him, why don't you give him that guitar of yours?
What? I can't give him Randy's guitar.
Why not? It's a stolen guitar.
It's not stolen.
It belongs to his family.
Besides, I mean, I don't see the problem, you know.
I enlisted and I went over there.
Yeah, but what choice did you have?
And if I was gonna sell the guitar, don't you think I'd use it
to pay for my own goddamn college?
Yeah, but it wouldn't be Stanford.
You don't know that.
Come on, the guy's gonna kill himself if you don't give him that guitar.
I'm not gonna kill myself, and I don't need your guitar.
All right, what are you gonna do then?
I'm gonna skip Salt Lake,
I'm gonna go to Vegas with you guys,
I'm gonna borrow some money off my credit card,
and I'm gonna turn it into $20,000.
Oh, you gonna play poker?
No, I was thinking roulette.
You play red and black,
guess the right color three times, I got the money.
If I was you, I'd stick to the skills games...
either blackjack or Texas hold 'em.
But whatever you do, just stay away from craps.
That is the stupidest idea.
Why?
It's crazy.
You can't just go to Vegas and make $20,000.
That's just... You're dreamin'.
Wait a minute. He's dreaming?
Yeah.
He's the one who's got the stupid idea?
You're traveling all the way across country
to visit a family that you've never even met.
Like, they don't know you're coming.
They don't even know you exist.
You think they're gonna love you or take care of you?
Like, he's not the one who's dreaming.
Christ.
Are you...
You gotta be kiddin...
I don't want him to lose his money.
Listen. Don't worry about me, okay?
Don't worry about me.
I have to give 'em the guitar.
I have to give it to them.
- But they don't even know you. - I don't know you!
Whoever heard of giving $20,000 to someone that you just met?
Yeah, but the guy's desperate. He's all fucked up.
Enough.
I can pay for my own kid's college.
I'm just trying to help you, man.
You wanna talk about fucked up?
Look in the mirror.
I'm not the one trying to kill myself, buddy.
Colee...
Colee stop crying.
I can't give you the guitar.
I can't give it to you.
I know. It's okay.
It's not okay.
I want to give it to you, but then I won't have...
I won't have anywhere to go.
Colee. Come on, Colee.
All right, listen.
How about you stop crying and we'll stop.
What do you mean?
You been wanting to sightsee, right?
Yeah.
Okay, so we'll go somewhere, do something.
Could we have a picnic?
Yeah, a picnic. Whatever.
Yeah.
You know, you can leave your guitar in the car.
I'm not gonna steal it.
Well, you might not think you are,
but I'm not chancing it.
I don't want to get ditched.
Why? Does that happen to you a lot?
Look at these rocks.
That's a skipping rock.
That would go far, huh?
Yep.
Hey, that's a fossil.
That's a nice one.
- It is? - A mollusk. See?
The poor little guy winds up getting squished
between two rocks.
Why do we have to go back?
I like it here. It's fun.
Oh, fuck.
- T.K. - What?
Guess what.
What?
I got your problem solved.
What problem?
I was in the bathroom
and I met these real nice girls,
and they travel around in that RV over there.
And what they do is they're sex workers.
But they're real professional.
And I told them about your problem and they said...
- You gotta stop telling people that! - But they said they could take care of it.
And they said they'd give you a discount
'cause you're a serviceman wounded in the war.
Sounds like a good deal to me.
That's what I thought.
What do you think?
- Hey, there. - Hey.
- Hi. - So here he is.
This is T.K.
T.K., this is Brandi, Kendra and Savannah.
- Hey. - Hey.
So how does this work?
Does he just pick one of you or...
Yep, or he can have all three.
How much?
He's so cute, I'll do it for free.
For free?
How does that sound?
Don't worry. She'll get it going.
If she can't, nobody can.
You come with me.
Okay.
You're all right?
We're here for ya.
- Colee? - Yeah?
Come on.
You all right?
Yeah.
- What? - Colee.
No good deed goes unpunished.
- What's wrong? - I got to...
You getting cold feet?
No, I gotta get something in my stomach...
What's the problem?
I haven't eaten anything except a hot dog in the last 24 hours.
So what? Eat later.
Well, I need to up my electrolytes.
You know, I need a PowerBar or a Gatorade...
Okay. Do you have anything like that?
No. We just got Coke and tossed salad
and Marlboro Lights.
Hey, T.K., I saw a store on the way in.
All right, well...
I guess they're gonna go to the store.
Get me a fried egg sandwich on a roll!
Are you mad at me?
No.
I'm sorry.
I was just trying to help.
I should just keep my big mouth shut.
Don't worry about it.
Wow, look at those clouds.
Wow, it's really coming down.
That's a good one.
This is unbelievable.
Wow.
Holy shit.
Holy shit is right.
Get out of the car.
I'm not getting out of the car.
You stay in this car you might die.
If I leave the car I might die.
T.K., open the door and get out.
It's okay.
You're gonna be fine.
Okay. Is it gone?
Oh, my God.
- Are you all right? - Yeah.
- What's going on? - Nothing.
- You okay? - Yeah.
- Is it working? - What?
Is it working?
As a matter of fact, yeah, I think...
Yeah, it's working pretty good right now, so...
That's great.
Oh, no. Okay.
Yeah, that's working.
That's great.
Yep.
Wow.
We should get out.
Hey, chief!
Guess what.
What?
His penis works.
What do you mean? You got wood?
Yeah. Definitely wood.
So we don't need these ladies anymore?
Nope. He's all fixed up.
He could pound a nail with that thing.
Pound a nail?
How do you know that? Did you touch it?
No, I didn't have to. It was just pokin' right into me.
It's a miracle.
You are one lucky bastard, T.K.
You all right?
Yeah, you don't seem too happy...
considering.
I'm all right.
Yeah, I get to see my girlfriend,
go back down range like nothing ever happened.
T.K., what are you worried about?
You're on a lucky streak.
I don't think so.
I mean, you can only get lucky for so long, you know?
Streaks don't last forever, and I've been burnin' some karma.
Hey, you can't think that way.
It's gonna mess your head up, get you in trouble over there.
Yeah, you gotta forget about luck.
I mean, look at Randy.
Robbing Lucky Jim's, not getting caught.
That was lucky. Amazing.
But maybe if he had have got caught,
he would have gone to jail and he wouldn't have enlisted,
and then he might be alive.
That might be luckier.
So, you know, just don't think about luck.
I'm on my third tour. The odds aren't good.
Maybe you need to change the odds.
Maybe you don't go back.
You can go to Canada.
Take a break.
No, I can't go to Canada, man.
You're a coward if you go to Canada.
Yeah, but you're a coward that's alive.
Plus you've done your service.
Given a lot. More than most people.
I can't do it, you know.
They got shit football in Canada.
Become a hockey fan.
No.
I don't know anyone up there, anyway.
We'll come visit you.
I've never been to Canada.
- Yeah. - Nah.
- Yeah. - I'm good.
Hey! There's Lucky Jim's.
Robbing a casino's a ballsy thing to do.
In a weird way, you gotta admire it.
You know, he was wearing a gorilla mask when he did it.
On Halloween about three years ago.
Nobody even looked twice at a guy running down the street
wearing a mask and carrying a gun.
I'm happy for you, T.K.
You know, you're going home to your girlfriend,
and that's gonna be real nice.
You just treat her right.
Okay.
When you get married,
let me know 'cause I want to send you something.
You got lots of celebrating to do.
You got your bridal shower and your engagement party...
All right, Colee.
- Rehearsal dinner... - Stop, stop, stop.
It's gonna be nice.
Just take care.
That was a bit forward.
Good luck at the tables.
Listen to me.
You go home, do what you need to do there.
If I were you, I'd think twice about going back.
Well, if I go home, I'm going back.
You know, my whole family's in the Army, so it's almost the same thing.
Well, see you guys.
So, uh, you sure you don't want me to drive you over to Randy's?
No, I gotta do this by myself.
Thanks.
I'll take a taxi.
Well, if you need anything,
you give me a call.
All right?
I'm real sorry about that guitar.
Forget it.
You bring it to them.
They're gonna love you.
...worried about blowing up some abandoned Iraqi tanks
and other personnel carriers...
What'll it be?
Can I get a shot of tequila?
Suddenly, out of an alleyway, wham!
There comes an RPG and missiles from the air.
We have been trying to get a live report...
Can you make that a double?
- Yes? - Hi.
I'm Colee Dunn.
I was a friend of Randy's.
We served together and...
this is his guitar.
Well, come in.
And these flowers are for you, too.
Thank you.
We love flowers.
Here we are.
You know, you have such a beautiful home.
Thanks.
I guess you didn't...
you didn't really need the flowers.
Well, we're always happy for more.
We have a flower wholesaling business, so...
Randy probably told you that.
Of course, he never liked working there.
You know boys.
Always trying to prove they're men.
I guess working in a flower shop
didn't quite go with that.
I must say, I didn't even know
that Randy played the guitar.
I thought that...
I thought that maybe you gave it to him.
It wasn't in your family?
No.
Our family was never too musical.
So I don't know where he would have gotten such a nice guitar.
That's funny.
How are you doing today, sir?
I'll know in about 30 minutes.
Never too old to sign up.
You ever think about it?
I just got out.
That'd be the best time to get back in.
Yeah.
There you go, sweetie.
Your attention, please.
Air Canada Flight 63 for Vancouver
will begin boarding in approximately 45 minutes
from Gate C29.
Can I help you?
- No, no, no. - No?
- You sure? - Yes.
Just tell us some more stories about Randy.
Okay...
All right, I'm gonna get that. Tom, that toast is burning.
Shannon, this is Colee.
Colee served with Randy.
Hi.
And this is little Jessie.
He looks just like his daddy, don't you think?
He's got Randy's eyes.
But he's got a bald spot just like you.
Give me that baby.
Stop it.
That's my boy. Yeah.
How you doing?
I'm good.
I'm sorry, Colee.
You didn't know about Shannon, did ya?
Yeah, I knew.
I knew about that.
He's a damn fool, Randy.
He never slept with the girl but once.
He barely knew her.
But she got pregnant.
Then he disappeared and, of course, we felt responsible.
She was gonna have a baby.
It doesn't change whatever you had with Randy.
Hope you know that.
This is the final call for Air Canada Flight 63 to Vancouver.
He's looking at me to see if it's okay to eat them.
- Yes, you may eat them. - You go right ahead.
That's delicious.
Hey, Colee.
I just want to say
that Jeanie and I have talked about this,
and seeing that you're kind of out of touch
with your own family,
well, we want you to know that...
that you're welcome to stay here
for the rest of your leave.
Really?
Wow, that's...
That's so nice.
I have something that I want to say, too.
Shannon...
there's a couple things that you should know.
Randy... he loved you with all his heart and soul,
and he talked about you all the time.
And, you know, he knew that he had made a big mistake
and he was gonna make it up to you.
And, Tom and Jeanie, he just loved you so much.
He knew what great parents you were
and grandparents, too, and...
and he was just so looking forward to coming home.
Ya'll have been so nice to me.
And I think I should go.
- No, no, no. - Yeah, no...
You can stay, can't ya?
No, I think I should go.
And, you know, I was thinking...
would it be all right if I took that guitar?
Randy's guitar?
Is that okay?
You take it.
You're welcome to it.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
I have a friend who I think got arrested.
You just brought him in.
- What's the name? - Poole.
T.K. Poole.
Yeah, we got him.
Can I see him?
He's still being processed. You're gonna have to wait.
What'd he do?
Doesn't say.
Must have done something.
Hello?
Cheaver!
Guess what. I got the guitar.
I told you not to worry about that.
Are you still in Vegas? Can I come meet you?
- Hey. - Hey.
How is he?
They won't let me see him.
Well, what did he do?
I don't know.
Sir? When can we see our friend?
You can't.
Listen, we gotta see him.
He's in the Army. We all are.
And he's home on leave for just 30 days.
Now you might not know what that's like...
I know just what that's like.
I was a Marine in Desert Storm.
Well, then maybe you can help us out.
I have my problems with my approach shot.
Oh, see, yeah.
All you gotta do is just shorten up that back swing,
and I guarantee you'll hit the green every time.
That's it.
Like, I don't like to brag,
'cause bragging doesn't come easy to me,
but, you know, last time I played Number 4 at Kuwait City,
I got a hole in one.
- Aw, come on, you're bullshitting me. - No. I'm serious.
And it was amazing because the ball never even hit the grass.
It just dropped straight in the hole.
There was nothing but cup.
Swear...
That's amazing.
Beautiful, beautiful.
You know these two?
Yeah. Hey, guys.
Hi.
Hey, your friend here is a real hero.
Yeah, we know, but why is he here?
He's here because he served his country honorably
and then he came back and took responsibility for a past mistake.
That's as brave as it gets.
What's the charge?
Armed robbery.
Armed robbery?
What did he rob?
You ever heard of a casino called Lucky Jim's?
Yeah.
Yeah, I heard of that.
So you robbed Lucky Jim's?
Yeah.
And couldn't keep it a secret anymore.
The guilt was just keeping me up at night.
A guy who can man up to his past got my respect.
Could we have a moment alone with him?
Is that all right with you?
Yeah.
Lucky Jim's?
Why are you doing this?
Well, like you said, I gotta do what I gotta do.
Find a way to stay alive.
What, to keep from going back?
Yeah, it's perfect.
No. You're gonna go to prison.
Look at me. Prison's gonna be easy on a guy like me.
I got it all figured out.
I can get a college degree in there.
These guys said I'll be out in 18 months.
This is the best thing that ever happened to me.
You'll be an ex-con.
- Yeah, but a living ex-con. - Right.
T.K., this is crazy.
Everybody okay in here?
- Yep. - Yes.
You didn't get hit too hard in the head fighting over there, did ya?
No, sir. No.
Well, then you're all very funny.
So funny you can get your asses the hell out of here.
You think I got time to waste, Mr. Big Shot Hero?
You rob Lucky Jim's?
Yes, sir.
That's interesting.
'Cause Lucky Jim's has never been robbed.
Sure it has.
I checked all the records.
And I just got off the phone with Lucky Jim himself.
Now come on, get out of here.
Take a walk.
T.K., you okay?
Hey.
Oh, man.
I can't believe I almost did that.
I can't believe I did that.
Don't worry. We get it.
I'm sorry, guys.
- Don't worry about it. - Nah, I'm real sorry.
It's okay.
Now I'm fucked up.
Wow, it's official. I'm fucked up.
Did you guys know how fucked up I was?
Didn't really show... that much.
I gotta reevaluate.
You know what?
I'm starting to see things more clearly right now.
Good.
Great.
I realize that...
I don't know shit, man.
Fuck.
I don't know shit.
You know some things.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
You got the basic skills.
So how were Randy's parents?
They were real nice.
Good, I'm glad.
And so was Randy's girlfriend and his baby, too.
- Oh. God. - Ouch.
Yep.
But look, I got the guitar,
and, Cheaver, I want you to have it.
That's real sweet of you,
but I don't need it.
I got the money.
- What? - How much did you win?
I didn't win anything. I didn't even place a bet.
I reenlisted.
You what?
I reenlisted.
Got a $20,000 signing bonus.
I'm all set.
That's insane.
You're calling me insane?
Cheaver, I got you the guitar.
Sell it. Get the money that way.
You need that guitar more than I do, Colee.
No. I got Army money saved up.
I'm gonna be fine.
And I'm gonna find my mom and patch things up,
so you take it.
No. I'm going back.
Recruiter called my home unit.
They're transferring the paperwork now.
You can get out of that.
I don't know that I want to.
Cheaver, take the guitar.
Please.
You take that guitar, Colee.
It's your guitar.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Thank you.
No. Thank you.
Sergeant.
T.K.
How are ya?
Good. Good.
So you got here.
Excuse me.
- Look who it is. - Hey.
- How are ya? - Good. How are you doing?
- How are you doing? - How are you doing?
Where's your guitar?
Did you sell it?
Sell it?
Hell, no. I'm learning how to play it.
- You're learning to play it? - Yep.
All right.
How's your fiancée?
She's fine.
But she's not my fiancée anymore.
Where are you going?
I'm going to Diyala.
- Where are you going? - Anbar.
Where are you going?
Tikrit.
